THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY. 6, 1929 om PAGE THREE lo Decision Reached Regarding Reduction in W Wiliams Company Picnic at Lakeview Park Yesterday Had ok r Sea Flea Races Introduced to Oshawa Yesterday as One " of the Features of a High- ly Successful Outing of Employees and Families EXTENSIVE SPORTS PROGRAM ENJOYED Westinghouse Radio Set Awarded' as Prize in Drawing Contest as Part of Picnic Program--Pic- turesque Parade to the Park Preceded the Picnic The employees of the Williams Pi- ano Works held their annual picnic at. Lakeview Park on Friday after- noon, when the event was thorough- ly enjoyed by a large gathering. The picnic began at one o'clock with a parade from the factory to the Park. The parade was a gay affair, numerous cars with Union Jacks draped over them, making up a long file which moved slowly toward its destination, Two clowns kept the pic- nickers in cheerful mood, The weather was ideal and the sports and general gaiety were able to go forward without interruption. As. the cars neared the Park onc photograph was taken, and a second one was snapped when the employ- ees formed a group for that purpose, at three o'clock. The sports were then held. A pleas- ing feature was the celerity with which the events were run off. The events and winners were as follows : L Boys under 6--R. Branton, D. Bris- bois, B.- Mason. All runners received a bag of candy. Girls under 6--J. Buckley, M. Thompson, E. Wotton. Boys 8 and under--B. Buckley, G. Branton, J. Mast. Girls 8 and under--B. Buckley, J. Mason, J. Bouckley.

During the afternoon the employ. ees and their wives had posted tick- ets on which their names were writ- ten in a box in the band stand, and a draw was made and the lucky prize winner of a Westinghouse radio was Mrs. Lambert. Mr. Colley won a ver- andah rocking chair and Mrs, Trim a jardiniere. Supper was then served and at seven o'clock there were sea flea ra- ce heats, . The tug-of-war and softball game will likely be played some time next week, as it, was found impossible to hold them yesterday. : The picnickers left the Park at varying times after the sea flea races were contested. Jw The sea flea racing was very popu- Jar.and showed that the aquatic sport fans of Oshawa are enthusiastic over it' 'The races took place in conjunction with the picnic and were greatly ap- preciated by the throngs of specta- tors congregated in Lakeview Park. Unfortunately, Old Man Weather saw fit to screen the participants in the first race from sight by means of a thick veil of fog. Consequently, little was seen of the racers except when they appeared in the middle of the course. There were but Messrs The Salvation Army in charge. 11 a. m.--Thanksgiving race--D. Branton, two = entrants, Brown and Adams, Bill 7 p. m--"Old Things ii. Made New." . Sunday School, 10 a. m. and 8 p.m. Picnic--July 10th, Reade, another aspiring competitor, Yas forced out through engine trou- e. Adams won a good race by a fav- ourable margin, : 4 The mist lifted after the first race and Adams and Brown again 'tested their skill. For the first lap they were fairly close together, but after this Brown drew away from his ri- val. He gained ground on the turns and finished a nice race to win hand- y. : Brown and Reade clashed in the third heat. After the first half of the lap, Reade opened up his boat into oy, Wot of speed and drew away from his rival, He increased his lead during the remainder of the race and brought his bucking steed to land at the con- clusion of the race, a good winner. It is reasonable to believe from the interest last night that this sport will take a foothold in Oshawa in the near future. DICTAPHONE CORP. PICNIC HELD HERE Enjoyable Gathering of To- ronto. People at Lakeview Park Another Toronto picnic group spent a pleasant day in Oshawa yesterday, when the Toronto office, sales and service staff of the Dic- taphone Sales Corporation, Limit- ed, journeyed to Lakeview Park in a fleet of private cars. There were 32 people in the party, which was headed by T. R. Crayston, general manager of the company, and H. J. Cable, general sales manager. Two softball games, in which the sales and the gervice divisions locked herns, and other amusements were followed by a dinner served by the manage- ment of the Jubilee Pavilion, and dancing was enjoyed in the even- ing. "The fact that we could bring 32 people with us on a Toronta office picnic, shows the remark- able growth that this company has enjoyed," said Mr. Crayston. He remarked that six years ago, when the company was established, its entire Ca wh payroft numbered six, while today there were over 100 people selling and servicing Dictaphones in Canada, with 40 of them in the Toronto-Ontario dis- trict. RR hE A I A I I i I A ¥ What Others Say NEED OF BANDSTAND 254 Verdun Rd. Oshawa, Ont, July 5th, 1929. he Editor. * 8ir:-- As a lover of good music I would very much appreciate a, little space in your splendid paper, The Oshawa Daily Times, to submit a few sugges- tions regarding the Band Stand at Memorial Park, which I believe would be of benefit to both music jans and listeners. The Park is sit- uated in an ideal location in the centre of the city thus enabling many citizens to enjoy the music who are unable to get to the other parks. But the facilities necessary for the musicians are utterly inadequate. Conditions would be greatly im- proved by having at least a plat form elevated a few feet from the ground, and lights placed in advan- tageous positions, giving each man an opportunity to see his music, which you will agree is essential before he can produce it. Under ex- isting conditions there is but one high power lamp giving light to some and casting a shadow for oth- ers. For a small sum of money condi- tions could be greatly improved and appreciated by all music lovers. Let us get away from what now is a rural garden party bandstand and erect a suitable stand in keep- ing with our treasured = Memorial and our progressive city. Hoping this will meet the eyes of some of the many who are able to make this very necessary improve- ment. 1 am sir, yours sincerely, CRESCENDO. LOCAL BAKERY PLANT IS SOLD Nut Krust Bakery Is Acquir- ed by Rochester Chain Concern The plant of the Nut Krust bak- ery, Simcoe street south, was sold by auction yesterday afternoon to Clyde Ward, of the Home Bakery Company, Rochester, N.Y. This com- pany will continue the business in a short time. . The Home) Bakery Company op- erates a ch of bakeries in the United States, and also a number of bakeries in Ontarjo, including plants at St. Catharines and . Kitchener. The equipment of the Nut Krust plant will be remodelled somewhat, and it will be re-opened on a larger scale as soon as the alterations are completed. The bakery was sold for the trus- tees in bankruptcy by Butler & Co., auctioneers, of Toronto. Conant & Annis of this city were solicitors for the estate. MANY VISITORS "TO CONFERENCE - OF ADVENTISTS ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON INDIA GIVEN LAST NIGHT Ukrainian Ministef To Be Ordained at Service This Afternoon The Seventh-Day Adventist Camp was much put to it to find rooms to accommodata the week-end in- flux of visits. Every available place - was filled, every possible room in the neighborhood and many cars had to trarzport the overflow into the town. These peonie watch the time of the sun setting Friday and begin the observance Of their Sabbatn keeping from that time until the gun goes down Saturday, just the same as the Orthodox Jews do and beve continued to do all through their history as a nation, believing it was the custom of the "Lora ut the Sabbath" to do the same. Mr. H., H. Cobban, Assiztant Treasurer of the Denomination, ar- rived from Washington in connec- tion with his official duties, Lecture on India . Elder Wellman gave his sterevp- ticon lecture to a packed tent lust night. Seats were brought in and the aisles filled. Pictures of Mount Roraima in British Guiana, which was the location of the mission he described is 300 miles in the inter- for from the city of Georgetuwn and is reached only over a diffi- cult trail. All goods must be trans- ported by native carriers by boat and afoot. The picture of the grave of mis- sionary O. E. Davis was shown, He was superintendent of the S.D.A. Mission, the Arekuna and other tribes of that district, and visited the field in 1911 and gave his life a sacrifice to his love for the peo- ple. Whilst there only about two months he taught the natives, who are very bright to learn, several of the advent hymns and secured quite a following before his death. He promised that another missionary would follow. The converts re- mained faithful, waiting 16 years for another missionary and upon the arrival of Mr. and Mrs, A, W. Cott, and Mr. and Mrs. Christian in 1927, were still singing those hymns their favorite being '"'Jesus will Come Again." Great Transformation A picture of a number of the na tive children in their primitive state was shown and still another after a year's sojourn of the mis- sionaries among them. The trans- formation was realy marvelous und many of those present felt well paid for their sacrifice and support of such a work. The Adventist de- nomination is leading all other Christian bodies in mission efforts, said the speaker. Their mission budget for this year calls for 43 million dollars and their output of missionaries for years has ranged from 150 to 175 per annum with no note of retrenchment sounded. countries and 297 of the languages of earth. Elder M. N. Campbell will occupy the pulpit tonight and an- nounces his subject to be "The rope King Again--Its Meaning," at 7.30 o'clock. At 3 p.m. ordination of A, M.

He arrived in the city yesterday morning and left late in the afternoon, being the guest of General Motors of Canada during his stay here, "I am just taking a little nut- day," Hon. Mr. Heenan informed The Times when queried on the nature of his visit. "As I did last year, I am spending my vacation on a tour-of some of the principa: manufacturing cities, inspecting various plants and finding out for myself the conditions of 'he vork- men, I have taken a comprehen- sive tour through the Oshawa plant® of General Motors, and was very much interested in seeing the plants in operation, as well as am- azed by the extent of the factory." Mr. Heenan explained that, at the time of the strike in the spring of 1928, when he came to Oshawa in connection with the settling of the dispute, he had promised that he would visit the plant at a lat- er date and see the actual work- ing conditions. This was the first opportunity to do this that he had since that time, and he had come gown yesterday to fulfil that prom- se.

Shows Net Surplus Last Year Was $30,000, But That Heavy Expenditures Were Being Met WILL GIVE RATES MORE CONSIDERATION Two Applications For Ex tension of Water Mains in North East Section of City Refused at Meeting of Commission The Oshawa Board of Water Com- missioners, at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon, gave considera tion to the question of water rates in the city, although no decision re garding a change in rates was made. A report was presented by city engineer Smith, at the request of the commission, showing that the net operating surplus of the commission last year was approximately $30,000 and outlining the effect that various reductions in the rates would - have on this surplus. It was estimated that, even at the present rates, the surplus would be lower this year than last year, and it was ..also pointed out that, out of the present liquid surplus of the - commission, $25,000 was being paid for the in stallation of the new gasoline engine and pump for auxiliary use at the pumping station. The matter of revision of rates was laid over un til the next meeting of the com- mission and the engineer was in structed to have copies of his report sent to the commissioners for -con sideration. Applications Refused The commission decided to net lay water main to Hills and Dales sub division at the expense of the city, as requested at the last meeting. Ii was decided, however, that should the company pay for the main at $1.80 per foot, the same as 'other companies were paying, it would be laid. The total cost of laying main is about $2.40 per foot. The commis sion had viewed the property and decided upon this action. The request of Alderman S. G. Carnell for a main up to. his prop- erty on Ritson road north, which was laid over from last meeting, was refused as there was less than one house per 100 feet of main, which was the standard set by the com- mission. It was decided to lay six inch mains on McGregor street, from Sim- coe to Centre street, replacing the present temporary main, and on Beatty avenue from Drew street to Ritson road. This Year's Work : The total number of mains passed so far this year, including these two, amounted to about $20,000, the city engineer reported. Several members of the commission express the .opin- ion that only a few more lengths of main should be laid this year. A motion was passed to purchase a Graphotype machine at a cost of $395. This machine will make name plates for the addressograph ma- chine used in sending out water bills. Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Francis Kelley, 257 Grooms Ave. wish to thank friends, neighbors, relatives, Dr. Ferguson and Oshawa General Hospital staff for their kindness, sympathy and floral tributes dur ing their recent sad bereavement.
