SIX FIGHT DEATH IN GANAL RESGUE Work of Policeman Averts Triple Drowning at Welland Welland, Aug. 2.--The rescue of a ten-year-old girl left five others, four men and a young girl, struggling in the waters of the Welland canal herc yesterday afternoon. Through the ef- ficient actions of Police Officer Or- val Rounds, death lost out in the battle and all were brought safely ww shore, Margaret Tryon, aged 10, of Gar- ner avenue, was swimming near the Alexander bridge, when suddenly she cried out for aid. Without hesitation Ada Robinson, her 15-year-old com- panion, plunged to the rescue, but the younger girl's weight was too much for her, Both girls were strug- gling desperately when Police Officer Rounds arrived on the scene and dove into the water, He was followed by Chris Robinson. Jim Atherton and Charles Herman, who had been at- tracted to the spot by the screams for help, Rounds took the younger girl to shore, while Robinson, a war veteran, discharged recently from Christic street hospital, Toronto, took charge of the 15-year-old rescuer. A moment later, however, Robin- son's strength failed and the girl and man were sinking below the surface as Rounds returned from his first rescue. He caught Robinson by 'the coat, but the man cried- out to him to let go and get the girl. The other two men, themselves feeling the weight of their clothing, were strug- gling toward the shore. but with this fresh turn of cvents returned to the aid of their companion, With final effort on the part of the exhaust- ed men, all three at last reached the bank just as Rounds was preparing to set out once again on his work of succor. (LING TO GANOE AS BOATS SEARCH Crowds Line Shores in Darkness to Await Trio's Rescue Guelph, Aug. 2.--Precipitated into the cold waters of Puslinch lake when a canoe in which they were fishing overturned about half a mile from shore, three young Hespeler men, Bill McVitty, Jack Courtenay and Jim Kerr were forced to half an hour in the inky blackness of Wed- nesday night before being rescued from their perilious position by a party of cottagers, who, attracted by their distress calls, went to their as- sistance in a seaflea, A heavy thunderstorm an hour ecar- lier had struck the fuses at both hotels on the lake shore and there was no light. Robbed of their best means of direction they had no idea of their location, and clinging des- perately to the upturned canoe call- cd lustily for help. Eventually, a cottager heard the crics and several motor boats sct out from the shore to search. Many of the picnickers at the lake had heard: the appeals for assistance und the shore was lined with anxious peo- ple. Ross Barber's scaflea at Swasiika beach, finally located the three mea and rescued them from the lake. They Jere none the worse for their mise hay. A WAY IT WORKS Canada spent more than $35,000,000 in the United States last year for reaper-threshers, and the farmers had to sell their wheat to Britain to get the money to pay for them But that's the way it works. < WATER AT BEACH FOUND DANGEROUS AND A REAL MENACE (Continued from page 3) endeavour to be of assistance in trying to rid our fair city of ob- siderable time and attention. We have in our municipality, ac- cording to the assessor's depart- ment 4,109 vacant lots. Perhaps one might gather from these fig- ures what ground a weed inspec- tor would have to cover, first to find out who owns the property, and then see that every owner gets an official notice as required py tne act. A full report on properties, their location, and ownership, will be made out at a later date when time will permit it in order that the inspector for the year 1930 will have 90 per cent of correct Inform- ation, without having to spend so much time in acquiring the inform- ation necessary, and also in pre- venting the assessment department able time in looking up these ree- ords. The assessment department has shown every courtesy in giving me the information required. Nuisances Where complaints have been made as to out-houses being a nuisance to the residents of the dis- trict, the regulation notice has been sent to the owner or owners of the properties, requesting them to immediately comply with the regulations. impossible for the necessary plumb- ing of conveniences in the house owing to size and layout, and the owner not in a position financially to carry the order out, they have been requested to see that the out- house is kept clean, and plenty of deodorant or disinfectant used in order that the nuisance may be eliminated as far as possible. Building Owing to the amount of unem- ployed in the city at the present time, the building operations are not going forward as was at one time expected they would. Several cellars have been excavated and immediately after operations ceas- ed. Permit me to state, that unless the owners or the person taking out this permit, either has a drain- age from the pit which has been made, or has it filled in again, complaints will come to this de- partment, saying that stagnant wa- ter is lying there, and it is danger- ous to health. It would be danger- ous to health if certain material were deposited in this pit, but us- ually the complaint is that stag- nant water is lying in said place, and children are playing either nearby or playing in the pool, and the complainants are afraid of di- sease arising therefrom. : Sewage Disposal While this may seem the most inopportune time to bring such a matter before the Board of Health, I feel that we can not well™afford to let it carry on much longer, ac- cording to the analyses received from the -department of Public Health, Toronto, on samples taken in the creeks which flow into Lake Ontario at a point not very far dis- tant from the swimming or bathing place. A disposal plant, construct- ed to take care of 7,000 or 8,000 population, cannot be supposed to take care of 24,000 and give the proper treatment to the sewage emptying therein. Water Samples During the month of July, 56 samples of water were taken from various points of our city water service, and 8 from wells, and it affords me a great deal of pleas- ure to announce that the finished product has in every case proven to he classed 'as "'A' by the analyst at the Provincial Laboratory, no Colon Bacilli having been found in 50, c.c. Milk Supply During the month of July, 10 samples of milk have been sent to the Provincial Laboratory, Toron- to, for analysis both for bacteria count, and butter fat test, and 6 samples of cream, the lowest but- ter fat test has been 3,3 per cent (3.25 per cent standard required), cream from 32 per cent to 49 per cent. Thus it will be noted the milk and cream supply to the citizens of the City of Oshawa is quite within the provincial and municipal law. Parks The public parks of the City of Oshawa have heen regularly in- spected during the month of July, 1929, and am pleased to state that everything has been quite satisfac- tory, excepting the following sug- gestions, which I would desire to lay before the Board of Health. Central Park, a most beautiful park, in a most beautiful situation, is without any means of public toil- et accommodation. This is very detrimental to the progress of the park, as regards visitors from a distance. If during the coming season of 1930 it could be made possible the garbage from the Jubilee Pavilion should be collected through the summer months, as early on Satur- day morning as possible, in order that those who come from a dis- tance in large numbers to make this park a picnic ground, will not have to be in the sight and close proximity to the refuse waste which although properly placed in receptacles, is still in view of those visitors. Playgrounds Next to the public toilet conveni- ences, is the necessity of more play- grounds for the children of pyr city. , Every day one looks upon the ne- cessity of more playgrounds for COAL noxious weeds, I have given it con- |, from using so much of their valu-|¢, In cases where it 18 | Commercial Markets TORONTO PRODUCE Toronte wholesale dealers are offering pro- breakfast bacon, 28 bo 40c ; back, pea-mealed duce to retail dealers qt the following ori- | ps, ces: .

Why not then try and use every just influence that it is in our power to use for their safety? i Pests We have in our municipality a certain pest which I have not heard the rightful name for, but which has gotten a great hold, and the Manitoba maple seems to be the tree upon which it seems to have taken a liking. Two beautiful trees were ordered cut down, and destroyed on Saturday, July 27, owing to the fact that these pests had become so numerous that they Ne DR. CHARLES A.
