0 a A ------ Rotarians Satisfied THE GSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, THURSDAY, TUNE 20, 1929 v vy Ed mr pees rom With Success of Annual Street a a Fair President G. D. Conant Voices "Thanks of Rotary Club for the "Support Given by the Citizens Gratitude to Kiwanians, Kinsmen and Others Who Helped in the Big Event Held Last Night DCCASION WAS ONE OF MUCH ENJOYMENT Citizens Entered Into the Spirit of the Street Fair and Had a Gala Night Amongst the Booths, and in Enjoying the Entertain. ment Provided -- Gross Proceeds $10,000 Gordon D. Conant, president of the Oshawa Rotary Club, this morn- ing made the following statement: The Oshawa Rotary Club extends sincerest thanks to-all who so gener- ously assisted in the booths and the work of thé Street Fair generally, The club is deeply grateful to the citizens of Oshawa and surrounding district for their splendid response to the club's appeal. We hope that all who were present fully enjoyed the event. We believe the financial results when finally known will be satisfactory and sufficient to enable the club to carry on its community and charitable work." Well Satisfied ; "The Street lair was mose satis- factory to me," said D. F. Johnston, chairman of the general street fair committee of the Rotary Club, to The Times this morning. "I wish to express my thanks to the Kiwanis club, the Kinsman's club and the other organizations and individuals that offered their assistance to make the street fair a success." "The public responded nobly, con- sidering the conditions existing at the present time," said George Hart, vice-president of the club, "I am more than satisfied with the way that the street fair was received and helped by the citizens." President Conant announced today that the gross proceeds would amount to slightly over $10,000, or about $11,000. It is expected that the net proceeds for the Rotary Community and. Welfare Fund will be about $5,000, Once again, a most successful Rotary Street Fair has passed into memory. The people of Oshawa turned out en masse for the event last night, and had a merry time while helping the Rotary Club to roll up a goodly sum to enable it to carry out the community work for which it is noted. And the Street Fair was certain- iy an A No. 1 aggregation of good time while it was being held last night. From the time that tne pa- rade was over until the strains of midnight had floated away into the distance, it could truthfully be said *'There was a sound of revelry by night." Once again, the Rotary Street Fair proved the biggest fun outing of the year in Oshawa. Perhaps the biggest feature, from the kiddies' standpoint, was the clown band. Followed by a mob of girls and boys, these mer- ry makers passed from booth to MRS. J.

RESIDENCE VITAL POINT IN LIOUR CONTROL AGT CASE Magistrate Hinds Gives Im- portant Decision and Im- poses $100 Fine "Liquor purchased at the Govern- ment store must be taken directly to the. established residence of the purchaser if the act is to be a legal one," according to Magistrate Hind who was faced with the problem this morning in police court of de- termining whether Benjamin Stred- wick, 156 Agnes street was guilty or not when he appeared to dnswer a charge of having liquor, illegally. From the evidence adduced Stred- wick and two companions were about to leave the city on a fishing trip and arrived at their destination were going to engage a hotel room where they would consume the dozen quarts of beer which reposed in the car at the time the accused was ar- rested, The Magistrate however was not inclined to believe the story told by the accused that the jour- ney was to be made for two reasons, that the car was to be repaired at this destination, and that the fishing trip was also to be held once the three got there, Evidence also showed that the liquor was purchased at 7.30 o'clock on June 8 in the evening, and that the three were not to leave the city until after ten of that same night. The magistrate pointed out that there was no reason whatsoever why the liquor should have remained in the car during that time. Instruc- tions of the permit which Stredwick had purchased were to the effect that liquor must be taken to the place of abode of the purchaser. Stredwick admitted that he had not read the warning 'contained therein "Young man, listen to this--It is most important that you notify the authorities at the Liquor Store whenever you change your residence and in this case you have not done that" Tt appeared that Stredwick boarded at a house on French street when he had bought the permit, but had moved and not notified the authorities, His boarding house on Agnes street therefore, Crown Attor- ney McGibbon pointed out was not his established residence, and there- fore had he taken the liquor into that house; it would probably have been in an illegal place. The liquor how- ever was not taken to the house, but remained in the car until it was seiz- ed by P.C, Hawes who made the arrest. Stredwick was fined $100 and costs or three months. He was represen- ted by Frank Ebbs. MAGISTRATE WAS LENIENT IN GASE OF AUTO THEFT Vancouver Youth Pleaded LY Guilty and Was Given Suspended Sentence Suspended = sentence was given Cecil McLaughlin of Vancouver who pleaded guilty in police court recent- ly to a charge of theft involving the sedan owned by George Hezzlewood. In passing sentence, Magistrate Hind spoke with approval of McLaughlin's previous record as given by crown attorney McGibbon. Mr. McGibbon who had taken considerable time and patience in looking into the case, stated. that McLaughlin had attained the second year in the University of British Columbia and that he was forced some months ago to leave school, owing to ill health brought on by over-study. Coming to Oshawa to visit friends he got in with some bad compan- ions, so the evidence showed, and he yielded to temptation when the chance came to make off with the car, It happened that an accident occurred while McLaughlin had the car, damage of $310 being done. Although McLaughlin will have to report to Chief Friend once a month, he will not be obliged to pay for the damage of the car since he has no money. Enemies In War Rivals in Sport Paris, June 20.--It looks like Ger- many against England in the Europ- ean zone final of the 1929 Davis Cup campaign. The semi-final ties, one of which got under way yesterday, play the Germans against Czemhoslovakia and England against Hungary. Thus far the Germans have been the sensation of he Davis Cup season, although Czechoslovakia offered a serious threat in yesterday's opening match of their tie. Hans Moldenhuer, leader of the German team, is degarded this year as ranking nearest to any European player to the three French Musk- eteers, Borotra, Lacoste and Cochet. He won both of his matches against Italy in the quarter finals, beating Baron Humbert dé Morpurgo, 1928 sensation, in five sets and De Stefani in three. Yesterday he added another straight set triumph, defeating Mac- eaner of Czechoslovaka by 6-3, 64, 8-6. by giving Czechoslovakia the second single match with a five set triumph over Dr. Landemann, , Menzel turned the tables on Germany | D In Circus The great Clown picture contest is over, and the skilful children who won the prizes of cash, and of free tickets for the Sparks' Cir- cus, which is to be here on Satur- day of this week, will tomorrow morning, receive their prizes, These are being sent out today, and there will be 47 happy youngsters in the city.

Beginning at seven o'cluvk sharp, the splendid pageant began its journey through the. main streets of the city, winding up an hour later where it began, at the Armouries. Thousands lined the thoroughfares while hundreds more surveyed the spectacle from store windows or the roofs of buildings, Traffic officers had a difficult task in keeping the streets clear of the, masses in order to allow the parade to pass by, but judging from. the cheers of approval which went. up, the Rotary parade was far in ex- cess of what was expected. To Roe tarian Dave Tod and his commip= tee go the honers for such a splen- did demonstration. Other Rotari- ans, speaking of the- affair, stated that it far surpassed that of last year and proved a fitting climax to weeks of hard energy expended in whipping things into shape. . Mr, Tod this morning asked The Times to express his thanks to all who took part in the parade and helped to make it an outstanding success. . As the hour for the start ap- proached, traffic was halted. on Richmond street where the parade was lined up, Each separate .en- try was almost a figurehead in it» self and one by one the hundred displays wound west on Richmond street, south on Prince to King street and then to Ceuire.
