Since the relief fund was raised last November by the Poppy Day appeal, hundreds of dollars have been expended for the relief of local families, thus relieving the city of some share of its relief burden, and caring for families which could not secure assistance from the city's social service de- partment. A meausre of assistance has also been granted to transient ex-service men who became strand- ed in Oshawa, and had to be as- sisted to their homes. As a result of last night's discussion, how- ever, on account of the fact that the relief fund is nearly exhaust- ed, only about $100 being left, it was unanimously decided to dis- continue the practice of giving re- lief to transients who were not residents of Oshawa, and to con- serve the balance of the fund for the assistance of really deserving cases of local ex-service men and their families. Employment Preference Another important discussion, having a direct bearing on the re- lief and employment situation, centred around the application of the principal of the ex-service men's preference to municipal em- ployment, In the discussion, it was pointed out that the federal gov- ernment had recognized this prin- ciple in all its appointments, and that it was also observed by the provincial governments, At the recent provincial convention in St. Thomas, a resolution was passed strongly urging that the principio of the ex-service men's preference, other qualifications and claims being equal, be applied to munici- pal work. Appeal to Council .s The Oshawa Branch, after dis- cussing the position of many of the ex-gervice men in the city at the present time, decided to address a communication to the city council, requesting that in all employment coming under the jurisdiction of the ciy, and particularly in work undertaken as a measure of uu- employment relief, the principle of giving the preference to local men who served their country in the Great War be made applicable. A letter embodying this request will go forward to the city council at once, Field Day Planned There was some discussion of a proposal to hold an open picnic and field day under the auspices of the Legion on Labor Day, this event to be held on a new picnic ground to be opened north of the city. Arrangements for this were left for the present in the hands of M. McIntyre Hood, chairman of the executive, and Comrade John Graves, who will confer regarding the program.

Kaiser, M.P, goes the credit of introducing a new and novel feature into the program of the Oshawa Fair, to be held on Sep- tember 10, 11 and 12. This feature takes the form of a new type © contest, for which the doctor has offered a prize of $50.00, He has a real idea behind the prize, too. His theory is that a great deal is said about the 'improvement of cattle herds, but very few active steps taken towards this end. The best specimens turn out in full force for the show ring at the fair, while the scrubs are left at home, where they add to the difficulties of the farmers in making a living from their ani- mals. When farms become infested with weeds, says Dr. Kaiser, the far- mers are forced to take steps to eli- minate them, and he sees no reason why there should not be the same interest in eliminating unprofitable bulls from the cattle herds of the district, With that idea in mind, he pro- Worst Scrub Bull in Two Have Place In Oshawa Fair Contests poses to bring to Oshawa Fair, not only the pick of the cattle of the district, but also the worst specimens of scrub bulls that can be located, so as to show just how bad some of them are, and how necessary it is that they should have a quick trip to the abbatoir. Here, then, is the contest idea. Dr. Kaiser has offered a special prize of $50 for the worst specimen of a scrub bull over two years old, and the competition is open to Ontario and Durham counties. In addition, the owner of the bull will also be given free transportation for the animal to the abattoir, so that he can get rid of it, and whatever price he receives for it there will be added to his winnings to make the bull more profitable in death than in life. There may but be much to cause pride in the possession of the worst scrub bull in the two counties, but the prize of $50 is going to make a lot of farmers try to prove that theirs is worse than any other that could be produced: Results A medicine show of the réal old- time variety, such as was common years ago, but is now a rarity, vis- ited the city last night and per- formed both afternoon and evening in an effort to distribute to the public some hair tonic and other remarkable commodities. A quantity of the tonic was sold but is has not been reported wheth- er any of Oshawa's bald-headed citizens found their shiny pates covered with a glorious growth of hair when they arose this morning, after taking a generous application of the tonic before retiring last night. Women, who in keeping with Fashion's fickle mode, had bobbed their hair and now are desirous of growing long tresses once more in an effort to follow that Lady's vagaries, were also advised by the head of the medicine show to try the hair tonic. After several appli- Old-Time Medicine Show Attracts Citizens, But Are Uncertain cations they could no doubt gaze into their boudoir mirrors and be- hold their heads crowned with bil- lows of hair such as used to delight hair pin manufacturers. In addition to the entertaining sales talk, the outfit staged a good show in the vacant lot immediate- ly east of the Alger building, kmg street east, and a large crowd of people was on hand both during |. the afternoon and evening. The leading member of the com- pany exhibited a marvellous head of hair which he attributed to use of his own tonic. In order to de- monstrate its strength he allowed two small boys to hang on to it 'while he lifted them clear of the ground and swung them in the air. Like the circus, medicine shows must keep on the move, and this particular company left the city last night with intention no doubt of performing at some neighboring municipality.

Rowland secretary at the Public Li- brary may be taken as an indication, During the past seven months a total of '74,000 books were issued showing an increase of 25080 books over the corresponding period of last vear. For July, 8534 books were placed in circulation. this number including 6,833 to adult readers and 1,701 to junior readers.

MAKING PLANS FOR WARRIORS' DAY Oshawa Branch of Legion Will be Well Rep- resented As has been the case in the last two or three years, the great war veterans of Oshawa will make a strong showing at the Warriors' Day parade to be held in conjunc- tion with the Canadian National Exhibition. This year the parade is to be held on Saturday, August 24, and it was intimated at last night's meeting of the Canadian Legion that the salute would be taken by General Sir Arthur Currie, who is the dominion president of the Canadian Legion. After some discussion, it was decided that every effort be made to secure a large representation from Oshawa for the Warriors' Day parade, and the house and enter- tainment committee. under the chairmanship of George Walsh, was authorized to make the neces- sary arrangements for the occa- sion. It is likely that busses will be chartered to take the local ex- service men to Toronto for the occasion, but it will not be possible this year for a special band to be taken to march in the parade with the Legion branch, . BAND CONCERT AT ALEXANDRA PARK. Program of Much Merit to be Presented This Evening A real musical treat is promised for those citizens who attend the band concert to be given this eves ning in Alexandra Park by the band of the Ontario Regiment. Bandmast- er Dempsey has arranged for a pro- gram of outstanding merit for this occasion, classical and popular music being mingled in just the right pro- portions. The program to be present- ed is as follows: "OQ Canada"; march, "Col. Bogey," Alford; overture, "Home Circle," Schepegrell ; selection, "H.M.S. Pina- fore," Sir A. Sullivan; popular num- bers (a) "Sing A Little Love Song." (b) "I'm Just A Vagabound Lover," Idyl, "The Glow Worm," Lincke: overture, "The New Dawn," Schultz; to.en poem, "Twilight in the Moun- tains," Weber; waltz, "Over the Wa- ves," Paul De Ville; trombone nov- elty, "Slidin' Easy," Chance; selection "The Fortune Teller," (special re- quest) Victor Herbert; hymn, "Near- er My God to Thee," Mason; regi- mental march, "John Peel," "God Save the King." fiction and 610 books classed as non- fiction. .

Strenuous vacations these days mean a day or two off work for a while 1,054 were non-fiction. Junior readers accounted for 1,091 books of rest on the return.--.

The term Big Picnic is sul- ficient explanation to all local readers for as far as Oshawa is concerned it can be only associated with one thing--the annual outing of the General Motors of Canada family, when the automobile makers, their wives and families get together for a good time. The stage is set and the com- mittees in charge have done every- thing possible in order to make the day the most successful in the his~ tory of the company, It now re= mains to be seen whether the ele< ments will be friendly as Old Sol is wanted on hand in full glory, not hiding his face behind a cloud but beaming down upon Lakeview Park from a bright summer day and the weather man's promise' is that this wish will be granted.

A number of workmen have been busily en- gaged in the ball park and tents have been erected for first aid, lost children and mothers' rest. The many booths in connection with the picnic have also been pre- pared. Transprtation . Free transporf™ion to the park for employees and their families has been provided by the company in co-operation with the Oshawa Street Railway. An effort is also being made to control motor traffic to the lake and motorists are urged to keep in line so that congestion may be prevented. Two motor- cycle constables will patrol the road while a number of constables on foot will also assist in control- ling traffic. Lost Children A force of Boy Scouts is under- taking to look after any children who might stray away from their parents during -the course of the day.' Lost children will be brought to a special tent provided for this purpose where they may be located by relatives or friends. In this connection it is urged that anyone finding a lost child should report to the scouts so that they do not have to waste time in useless gearch. The scouts will in turn endeavor to report to the parents.
