The program opened with *"O Canada," which was rendered in the usual fine style of the military band. From then until the last number had been played the music delivered was of very fine calibre, and os such appeal as to grip the listeners. The march, "Lights Out," was played with rhythmic precision, and was received favorably. The overture, "Daughter of the Elm," was also played finely, and with great understanding. In a program of such uniformly fine merit it is hard to pick out any one piece for special mention; it is sufficient to say that every number was played exceedingly well. Music lovers will regret the fact that they are giv- ing only one more concert at Lake- view Park this season. The band was ably directed by Mr. T.

BETTER LIGHTING ON KING ST. WEST BEING DISCUSSED Proposal to Extend Business Lighting to Park Road A proposal has been i" to ex; tend business lighting on King St., as far as Park Road. At the pres- ent time the business lights ex- tend as far west as Queen streey, while the remaining blocks Queen street to Park Road are sei= ved by the ordinary street lightiug common to the residential districts. The matter has been brought before the city council and if it meets fa- vor in this quarter, King street wil be bright illutinated from Park Road to the city's main intersec tion. ters by way of this thoroughfare | and no doubt if the street were well lighted it would create a good impression upon the minds of tour- ists and visitors.

Interesting Story is Attached to Visit of Australians to Oshawa An interesting story is attached to Mr, and Mrs, Boardman and daugh- ter, Miss Maizie Boardman, of Syd- ney, Australia, who were here visit- ing Mr. and Mrs. Charles: M. Mundy and Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Campbell. Mr. and Mrs, Boardman and their daughter are on a tour of the world, having left their home in Sydney last January, and will not complete their trip until some time in December. Phe reagpn for their visit to Osh- awa reveals a rather strange coinci- dence. While on a recent tour of Bri- tain, Mr. Mufidy met' Mr. Boardman on board a steamer on Loch Lom- ond, in Scotland, and had a brief eon- versation with him. Later, on the S. S. Duchess of Bedford, which sail- ed fromesLiverpool on July 19, bound for Canada, Mr. Mundy again met Mr. Boardman, and -renewed their former acquaintanceship at greater length. ; Knew One in Canada One morning, while they were talking on deck, Mr. Boardman men- tioned that he was looking forward with much "interest to his visit 'to Canada, as it was his first trip to this country. Mr. Mundy asked him if he knew anyone in Canada. The first reply was that he did not, but the visit to Oshawa on Tuesday ot} in| he at once corrected this by remark- Q: "Yes, I do know one man in Can- ada,--a little Scotsman who is a photographer in a place called Osh- awa. His name is Campbell," and he pulled from his pocket a letter which he had received only a few days be- fore from Duncan Campbell of this city. This was before he was aware that Mr. Mundy also came from Oshawa, The next day, Mr. Boardman re- ceived a Marconigram from Duncan Campbell, urging him to make the ac- quaintance of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Mundy, passengers on the Duchess of Bedford; Ths, of ¢outse,: sered to increase the tie of friendship which had been developed "between Mr. Mundy. and the Australian, ' Met on Indian Ocean It transpired,' as further conversa- tion revealed, that while Mr. Camp- bell was on a tour of the world some months 'ago, he had met Mr. Board- man on hoard the steamer while it was crossing the Indian Ocean. This meeting resulted in a close friendship between the Australian and the Osh- awa photographer, and culminated in the visit of Mr. Boardman: and his wife and. daughter to 'Oshawa this week to once again meet Mr. Camp- bell and also his newer acquaintances, Mr. and Mrs. Mundy. | unusual model changes at the begin- SAK THE OR EMPLOYMENT IN- BUILDING TRADES NO HEAVY DEMAND FOR: LABOR AT ° PRESENT .~ Hope That 'Paving Opera. tions Will Provide More ; Employment Skilled workers in the building trades, Including carpenters, paint- ers and plasterers are experiencing: a slack period in Oshawa, it is re- vealed' by the local Government Employment Bureau. At this time of the year there is usually a heavy demand for men following these trades but due to the fact that there are fewer buildings under construction now than there were a year ago, a number of skilled workers are finding themselves without employment. The situation with regard to the surplus of unskilled labor remains much the same the Employment Bureau states. Every day labor- ers are coming to the office on Bond street in an effort to find manual work of any kind. Unfortunately the demand for labor is small and the number of placements must be few. Early this week the Canadian Pacific Railway secured 25 men through the local employment bur- eau for sectional work .om its line near here. There are no large con- struction jobs underway in the city however, which might make a heavy demand for unskilled labor. Local industries are not requir- ing any 'more employes at the pres- ent time and the placements in fac- tories are limited. Many of those who have appli- ed for work at the Employment of- fice are able to secure odd jobs such as cleaning cellars, cutting weeds, mowing lawns. and other work of a temporary nature. The applicants seem anxious to do work of any kind and often there are several candidates for one job. Paving operations are being commenced in the city and it is hoped that they will afford work for some of those who are without employment. .M.C. EARNINGS FOR HALF YEAR (Continued from page 1 to serve thespublic adequately. Dur- ing the period under review, due to ning . of the year of its more im- portant car lines, 'stocks "were de- pleted to the-extent that retail sales were limited during the first quarter In addition to this, two new lines of cars have since been added to the Corporation's products. General Mat- ors distributes its products through more than 20,000 dealer organizations scattered not only throughout the United States, but throughout the en- tite world. The number of ars' cans stantly in transit} together with those| necessary to sefve the public 'prop=|- erty, reaches a large aggregate total. Styling himself "King of the Ho- boes," Al Kaufman, a dapper, well- dressed sort of customer, strolled into The Times office this after- noon to make the acquaintance of the staff. Al showed, too, that he was not simply telling a tale, for a well-filled scrap book gives the story of some of his interesting travels. He arrived in Oshawa yes- terday, was the guest of the Lake- View Pavilion management at the dance last night, and is comfort- ably settled in a room at the Cen- tral Hotel, for which, he admits, he has no intention of paying. This hobo trayels in state, living at the best of hotels at the expense' of the management, and in general, creating quite a flurry wherever he goes. Al is rather proud of his travels. He was born in England, but went to the United States as a lad. There he appeared in the movies under the name of James Harrison, and took a liking to the boxing game. Unfortunately, he received a sev- ere jolt on the larnyx in one of his bouts, and that robbed him of his He can hear all right, but his share of the conversation has to be carried on by pencil and paw. He shows every indication of a good education, and is quite dif- ferent from the traditional style of hobo. And as a gate crasher, he has "One Eyed Connolly" backed right off the map. Hobo For 13 Years Kaufman has been a hobo for 13 years, and has seen a lot of the world in that time. In fact, he bas travelled so much that he likes to have a little fun with newspaper readers. He has left with the edi- tor of The Times a two dollar bill, taken from a thick roll of currency, as a prize to the reader of the newspaper who can estimate the mileage he has travelled in his career, or who comes closest to the correct figure. Bona-Fide Contest This is a bona-fide contest, and it will be open until Saturday night of this week. Estimates of the mileage, giving the name and ad- dress of the contestant, can be sent "King of the Hoboes" is Visitor in Oshawa: Makes Very Interesting Otfer to the office of The Times address- ed 'Mileage Contest," up to but urday night, and the winner's nam will: be announced as soon as the results can be checked up with the figurew hich Kaufman has left in the hands of the editor. - The only restriction is 'that the' contest is not open to members of The Times' staff or their families. Al proposes to remain in Oshawa until tomorrow morning. He will be on the street this evening, with pencil and pad, and will take down estimates from any who recognize him, and will hand those in to The Times. office before he leaves the city. He also proposes to be at the Lakeview Pavilion this evening, where he can be seen in person, and there, also, he will accept esti- mates of the mileage he has trav- elled, to be entered for the prize. Guide as to Travels Just as a little guide to those who wish to enter, Al told The Times that he had started his hobo travels in New York, going from there to England ,then to. Paris, Alsace:-Lorraine, and Germany. From Germany he went 'back to Bordeaux, France, and there took a boat to Port Sudan, Egypt: from there to Sape Town, South Africa, and' to the Kimberley diamond mines, where he saw two negroes being' hanged for taking diamonds outside ' the mine fence. From South Africa he returned ' to the United States, and went into Mex- ico, where, on account of being un- able to speak, he was refused a commission in the Mexican army during the recent civil war.. He has also travelled all over'the Un= ited' States and Canada and is still going 'strong. . - Al is an interesting character, and he is greatly interested in find- ing out how closé the people of Oshawa can come to estimating correctly how many thousand miles he has covered in his 'travels. And remember, the closing time for en- tries is Saturday at 6 p.m. Wars will cease when tims say so. ,-- war's vie- PASSING GENERATIONS First, me and Mummy and Grand. mamma; ; Then only Mummy and me ...

N ALIEREIINL IES Into Death of Miss § GIFTS FOR RED CROSS COTTAGE 'STILL NEEDED Ninety Needy Children are Still on Waiting List With twenty-six new chitdyen tak- en to the Red Cross Cottage thi: week, another party of the sick and under-nourished kiddies of Oshawa will have two glorious weeks of health-giving holidays at the lake The season is well advanced, but there are still ninety names on the waiting list, and it is hoped that be- fore the cottage closes for the season they will have the outing they need so much. Four more beds have been added to the equipment of the cot- tage through the kindness and gen- erosity of Mrs, F. W, Cowan, who takes a deep and practical interest in the work, thus making it possible to accommodate more children than ev- er. With this long waiting list, to be cared for, the Red Cross Society, which operates the cottage, still has a serious financial problem to face, and continues its appeal to 'the citi- zens for contributions fo hélp with the work. Since the last list was pub- lished, a few more donations have been received, but the total is still far short of what is required. Citiz« ens are earnestly requested to send their 'contributions to Mrs. M, Hez- zelwood, 97 Albert strect, to'assist the Red Cross Society in maintaining the worth-while activities of Red Cross Cottage.
