Truck-loads of happy, high spirited youth went rolling. through the streets, girls and boys singing songs to let the whole 'world know they were on holiday; the family car, nicely washed, oiled, and filled with gas was piled with sister, brother, baby and the "eats", pa and ma squeezing in wherever they could get; fishing en- thusiasts were up and away before the rest of the folk were out of bed, and among the latter were some who smiled * trjumphantly at the tyrant clock, turned over and slept on in slothful slumber, = The tired business man forgot his worries in a game of golf; the hard working typist donned her prettiest frock and Ssallied forth to tennis; the mill hand and the fac- tory worker left behind for a day the grind and roar of machinery, perhaps to spend a few brief hours in the "yr in the company of the one . 4y girl in the world. s were the order of the day . the city there 'was little to 'the folks at home. haps one of the most: interest- happenings was the bowling tour- ent where the older folk gather- escent round the square of green io atch the rolling balls and comment the skill of the players. .

CANADIAN COAL FOR CANADA Editor of The Times: On account of recent tariff chang- es made by the United States, Cana- dians have been forcibly impressed with the importance of developing trade within the Empire. As a prac- tical step in that direction, many of your readers would like to have ac- curate information respecting the possibility of substituting Canadian, Welsh or some other coal produced in the Empire for the United States article now extensively used here. If any of our enterprising local coal dealers can furnish the desired facts and if feasible handle other than United States varieties of coal they will merit hearty thanks and, I think, receive considerable patronage.

FINED FOR SPEEDING Norman Fice of this city was found guilty in city police court of speed- ing and assessed the usual fine.

CITIZENS' BAND CONCERT The Citizens' Band will play at the Memorial Park on Wednesday even- ing of A this week a splendid pro- gramme has been arranged under the direction of Bandmaster R. Foun- tain, and a record crowd is expected to hear the Band. CUSTOMS RETURNS Customs returns at the port of Oshawa for June showed a decrease from both May of this year and The figure for June of this year was $531,091.40, and for June of last year $913,726.98 The decrease from the May figure of $768,477.64 was stated to be a sea- sonal one, there being generally a reduction at' Oshawa in the June figure as compared with May, A general slackening in imports was given as the reason for the reduction rom last year, RAIN WELCOMED There was considerable rainfall in Oshawa and district, last Saturday night and early Sunday morning. The rain was welcomed to gardeners and farmers however as until recently the soil had been quite dry, thus retard- ing the growth of root crops and vegetables, At the present time things look good from an agricultural stand- point and there is every indication of fair crops providing the weather is favorable during July and August, U TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY Traffic was heavy through the city all day Sunday but although serious motor fatalities were reported in many sections of the province, Osh- awa was remarkably free from major motor accidents, The larger portion of traffic was through the city on the Kingston highway via King street and it is interesting to note that a great many American cars were included in the stream. There was also a heavy outflow to the north on Simcoe street but this was more or less con- fined to local traffic. A large number of Oshawans spent the week-end at outside points or by taking short motor trips. Local tourist houses reported a brisk busi- ness while service stations were also busy. 3 EE. e:- s-in Latest Financial News Yi / PF TORONTO Stocks H Abitibi Bell Tele .........163 Bid Br. Amer.

ADVENTISTS WORK IN INDIA VIVIDLY TOLD BY SPEAKER Interesting Sunday Service on Oshawa Missionary College Campus At the Sabbath service held on the Oshawa Missionary College Campus, Elder 8S, A. Wellman re- counted some of the Providential openings brought to the Seventh Day Adventist people in North and South India that has helped won- derously to forward their efforts in that benighted country. Just before the Great War, said the speaker, the Zemander of Tarp- orevale, offered the British Gov- ernment to build a hospital with homes for doctors and nurses, su as to benefit his people (he being a very large land holder in that district) if they on their part would engage to farnish the doctor and necessary help. As tne war broke out shortly af- ter, the government sent word that they would not incur any further financial obligations, hence mu withdraw their promise to supply the medical attendants necessary. The building had already reach- ed advanced state of completion. Immediately further operations were stopped. Not long after the <Zemander died and his son decided to finish the building if a doctor and corps of nurses could be secured. Doctors Supplied The Seventh-Day Adventist peo- ple have a hospital at Loma Lin- da, California, and are turning out a number of doctors each year that are ranged in the same class by the medical association as those taking their degree from Edinburgh, Scot- land. They also have quite a large number of Sanitariums which, with their hospitals, have over one thousand medical missionary nur- ses in training. A Thus they were able to take up the challenge of the hour and accept. the .offer, so there was turned over to the de- nomination of Seventh-Day Adven- tists upon completion of the buila- ings, the title to both land and buildings which cost the donor $35,000. Doctor Coyne and Dr. Emma Hughes were placed in charge. Dr. Hughes, on account of her sex, has free access to the Zi- monas, thus together they minister to both souls and bodies of the na- tion. It is not generally known that Seventh-Day Adventists have a large number of Sanitariums and hospitals in which are over one thousand young women in training for medical missionary work, fol- lowing the method of propaganda instituted by the Master and re- corded in Matt. 4:23, "preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases among the people." A Munificent Gift The Rajah of Bobeli, upon the healing and restoration to health of his wife, who was the daughter of the Zimander, offered the divj- sional office, to build and equip a hospital and provide homes for, the doctor and necessary nurses, and also to give the electrical equip- ment to carry on with. This offer was accepted, the cost covering $655,000, and the Board secured the services of Doctor Sidney Browns- bergu, and wife, who are now studying the language preparatory to taking charge immediately at the completion of building operations. It is more than simply interest- ing to know that among the sick and suffering of India that these people have other large institu- tions that have grown and are still growing among the natives, reach- ing out hands of mercy and snatch- ¢|ing from the medicine man and his awful remedies the thousands that are suffering from the wild beasts and reptiles that infest the jungles and natural allments beside. The Narsapur hospital with Dr. Nelson and wife in charge, form- erly under Dr. Clark and wife, the latter in January of this year laid down her young life a sacrifice on the altar of love for India and her people. In the North East Indian Union at Bengal is Dr. C. Schilling. Dr. Hebard is duplicating their noble ministry at Karmatar Biher among the santals. Elder Wellman wax- ed warm as his own heart beat with sympathetic union to the work of Miss Schultz and helpers at Ran- chi, conducting a maternity home for the neglected women of India. As the allotted time slipped away s0 quickly and thes peaker's mem- ory recalled the many other gifts of the Seventh-Day Adventist peo- 'eple to the call of God to His peo- ple in India, he briefly mentioned Dr. Mann who locates this Fall in the Punjab. , KEEP TRYING (Portland Oregonian) The visitor to the suburbs was do- ing his best to keep up the conver- sation. Finally he said: "I hear your volunteer fire com- yay has bought a new engine," "Have "Nope. "What, no fires at all?" "Oh, yep. Had five fires." "Then why haven't you tried your engine?" "Houses burn down 'fore we get there." you tried it out yet?" » PURE ULCK * (Wampus) Stern Father (to son departing for boarding-school): Now, don't let me hear any bad reports about you!

M. Birks. Appointments to the national committee on .agriculture, consist- ing of outstanding business agri- culturists in the various provinces were confirmed. Col. Robert McEwen of London, was named for Ontario. This committee will have under consideration such questions as ag- ricultural programs for boards of trade and chambers of commerce, the extending of agriculture ais- trict representatives and analysis of the cost of distribution of farm products, practical support of agri- cultural education, the greater use of cost accounting in agriculture, an investigation into what further agricultural products are capable of processing in Canada and the kind of agricultural products now imported, which can be grown in nada. Canad work of the Canadian Fire Waste Council was discussed and arrangements made for presenta- tion to the chamber's convention in Alberta next September of the plans for a national inter town and city competition during the year a 18 national executive aproved of submitting to its members a memorandum on a national fish- eries 'policy for the Dominion bas- ed on the recommendations made by the Canadian Fisheries Associa- tion. 8 Realizing the value which would he derived from the holding of an imperial conference of business men at which the question of freer and greater trade within the em- pire could be fully and frankly Qs cussed and recognizing that the 1930 congress of the Federated Chamber of Commerce of the BEri- tish Empire to be held at London jn October next year, will afford without unnecessary duplication this opportunity and will ' allow ample time for the preparation of the agenda paper, the national ex- ecutive of the Canadian chamber is recommending to the federation that the subject of greater empire preferences and the further devel- opment of empire trade be made the feature of the conference and that the federation take early steps to ensure the coming together of a truly representative gathering of empire business interests for this purpose. : H. T. Malcolmson, of Hamilton, and Col. W. L. McGregory, of Wind- sor, were among those in attend- ance at the meeting. MAJ.

He was refurn- ing home and was walking on the south track when he observed a freight train coming from the west. Apparently he stepped across to the north 'track and failed to notice that a fast passenger train was approach- ing in the opposite direction. ' His body was hurled several fect into the ditch. Dr. B. A. Brown, Simcoe -street, happened to arrive at the crossing a minute after the accident occurred and he immediately placed the child in his car and rushed him to the hos- pital. Death occurred two hours la- ter. ' The engineer in charge of the flyer had no chance to bring his train to a stop in order to avoid striking the boy. The emergency brakes were applied immediately but the heavy lo- comotive with its long train of steel coaches travelled several yards be- fore its speed could be reduced,:Mem- bers of the crew attempted to render assistance to the lad and the train was delayed twenty minutes.
