WHITBY GIRL GUIDES Friday night, Sept. 27th, the Guides are having a marshmallow and corn roast. They are leaving the Captains' residence at 7 o'clock sharp, so please be there at five minutes to seven. Be sure to bring a warm coat as they are going out of town and the nights are cold. If it should rain they will hold the meeting just the same and at the same place and hour, On Saturday afternoon (weather permitting) they are having a hike and will leave the Sunday School at 1.30 sharp. It is hoped that as many as possible will be present. Last Saturday afternoon three Patrol Leaders and two seconds set out at a brisk pace for their first hike. P. L. D. Rice and See. I. Tucker started in advance to set the trail, and P. L's S. Lawler, J. McConnell and Sec. P. Ward brought up the rear and followed the trail. Although the trackers got lost and went a few hundred yards out of their way ev- eryone is eager for another "follow the trail." After arriving at their destination they had lunch, and then were ready to learn some of the things Guides do. They laid a fire, just as small as possible, lit it, and boiled a billy-can of water. Then as true Guides put the fire out, and used plenty of water in so doing. Ernest Thompson Seton has a splen- did recipe for lighting a fire, Would you like to learn it "First a curl of birch-bark, as dry as it can be, Then some twigs of soft wood, dead, but on the tree. Last of all some pine-knots to make the kettle foam, + And there's a fire to make you think you're settin' right at home." Then they had a stalking game, but as the sun was sinking towards the west they had to cut short the pro- gramme and turn their steps toward ome, . GIFTS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED The Manager of the House of Refuge, Dr. Lavery, acknowledges with thanks on behalf of the aged men and women under his care don- ations of two bags of pears from Rev. A. L. Richards, B.D, and a large quantity of ice cream from Mr. Russell Bailey, Both these treats were distributed among the inmates and needless to say were much enjoyed. DOOD BUILDING GOING UP Excellent progress is being made with the large garage and show room building being erected by Threadgold Bros. at the corner of Dundas and Ash ts. The roof will be on in a few days and it is expected that the building will be ready for use some time in Octo- ber or early in November. The gar- age will be operated by the build- ers, and will be a valuable addition to the town's business places. ASSUMES IMPORTANT POSITION ! Harold M. Gully, who has resign- ed from the position as Assistant to the President of the City Dairy Co., Tpronto, which he has occupied for a' number of years, to become Vice- President of Silverwood's Limited, is well known in Whitby, having been on the staff of the Military Hospital here a few years ago. Mrs. Gully is a daughter of Mark Crawforth, of Whitby Township. BANQUET ON OCTOBER 5 The date of the banquet to be tendered by the Whitby Women's Institute to the members of the Whitby Girls' Softball team, has been set for Saturday evening, Oc- tober 5th, when it is hoped that all members of the team will find it convenient to be on hand. The menu will include chicken pie and other good things. The banquet is being tendered to the girls as an ap- preciation of the wery fine showing they made in softball during the past season. The games played here at- tracted large crowds and the town undoubtedly secured some favorable advertising as a result. TO HEAR NOTED SPEAKERS The Y.P.S. of the United Church has printed a program showing the activities of the Society from now on to May next. There are very many interesting and helpful feat- ures including a visit from Denton Massey in November and Bona Mills in January. Ten new group courses are offered and one night will be devoted to staging a model assembly of the League of Nations. Dra- matics will be in charge of Mrs. Richards and Miss Helen Hudson and two stunt plays are promised for the opening social evening on Monday next. Ring up the Secretary, Miss Mildred Price, 309W, if you would like a copy of the program, a supply of which will be available at the church on Sunday. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS AT THE HOSPITAL During the past week some very distinguished people have visited the Ontario Hospital in Whitby. Last Friday the Honorable Mr. Hoadley, minister of health in the age.

On Satur- day, the Commission in charge of all "mental hospitals and correc- tional institutions in the State of Minnesota were interesting visitors, On Monday Brig,-Gen. Hughes, Superintendent of Prisons and Pub- lic Charities in Ontario, conducted through the Hospital a number of delegates from Illinois and Ohjo to the convention of the American Prison Association in Toronto. Without exception, the visitors were much impressed with the efil- ciency and equipment, VISITED INDUSTRIAL FARM Messrs. R. A. Hutchison, Albert W. Jackson and W, J. H. Richard- son went to Guelph on Friday last and were shown through the Guelph Prison Farm. The visitors visited the various workshops, the laundry, bakery, ete., and also the prisoners' living quarters, and what they saw was a revelation to them, Mr. Hut- chison was much interested in the educational facilities provided for those who, while serving terms, are anxious to improve their education. Provision is made in this respect for all nationalities--and there are a few of them in the prison. The Whitby visitors were told something of the work being done to put men and women back on the straight and narrow paths of life, Out of 125 who had completed their terms and were placed in employment, only two fail- ed to make good. The Farm is thor- oughly organized, the inmates are well fed and many facilities for en- joyment and improvement are pro- vided. Enroute home the Whitby vis- itors called on Dr, and Mrs, J. M. Forster at Oakville, ED. RIGE HEADS CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATION Mr. Ed. Rice was elected to the position of chairman of the Con- servative organization committee for the town of Whitby at an en- thusiastic meeting of the Conser- vative elctors held last night In the council chambers. Mr, Sam Murdoch had been appointed to this position at a meeting of the Conservative Association of South Ontario held last week in Whitby. Mr, Murdoch, however, declined to accept the position, making an- other appointment necessary. Mr, Rice was elected to the position by a unanimous vote of the meet- ing. For many years Ed. Rice has been known as one of the promi- nent Conservatives and a hard worker for the advancement of the party in this district. Dr, C, PF, McGillivray was elected to the po- sition of secretary of the organiza- tion committee. Dr, McGillivray has held this position before and has long been noted as one of the leading Conservatives of the dis- trict. Whitby is allowed to be repre- sented by fifty delegates at the nomination meeting to be held in the town hall on Friday night, This number is arrived at by the number of polling subdivisions in the town, there being five In the municipality. The list of , dele- gates to attend the meeting was drawn up and includes the names of the prominent party workers of the community. At the meeting on Friday night the candidate will be selected ta oppose W, E. N. Sin- clair, Liberal party leader, in this riding. MERRY PARTY HELD AT LAKE SHORE Over fifty young people of Whitby, Oshawa and district, en- joyed a weiner and marshmallow roast at Heydenshore park last evening, About eight o'clock the merry crowd gathered about the huge' bonfire that had been built close to the water's edge. It is understood that many pounds of weiners, dozens of rolls, an abun- dance of marshmallows and a good supply of coffee disappeared, With the fire casting a merry glow over the happy crowd and softly light- ing up the beach, many songs, | jokes and stories were indulged in, All too soon came the time for breaking up the party and depart- Ing for home. Xvery one of the party declared it the finest roast of the season, HUNTERS! "Full many a hunter now pre- pares his rifle and his hunting gear against the time when forth he fares in search of lordly Moose or Deer." Nor will he fare forth in vain as a careful survey ot the hunting ter- ritory in Northern Ontario reveals an abundance of game,. despite the heavy snows of last winter and for- est fires in certain timber areas. Open season dates for deer and moose are: North of the Canadian National Transcontinental Division Sept. 15 to Nov. 25, North of the Mattawa and Canadian Pacific main line to Canadian National Transcontinental Division, Oct. 20 to Nov. 25. South of the Canadian Pacific main line to Lake Nipissing and the French River, Nov. 1 to Nav. 25. South*of the French and Mattawa Rivers, Nov, § to Nov, 20. Canadian National Railways have now completed ample transporta- tion arrangements for handling hunters, their equipment and tro- phies. Many new locations avail- able.

LESSONS FOR ALL WRITTEN IN SKIES Motorists Would do Well to Study Airmen's Methods NO CHANCES TAKEN Watches All Gauges, Never Races Cold Engine, In- Ottawa, --Alrplan Pilot's concen- tration upon safety, partially due to pathway differences, regarded as object lesson for cardrivers--former keeps. close watch on guages, never races cold engine, and daily inspects controls before taking to alr. It may seem far-fetched at first glance, but there is a lot about hand» ling an automobile that the owner could learn from the man who oper- ates an airplane. This "lot" concerns not only a better technique in driv- ing but in the maintenance of the car and the perpetuation of those characteristics that are so pleasing when it is new, Furthermore, it includes a course In general safety, Just why the pilot should be in a position to teach the motorist is one of those curious phenomena that many explain simply as due to the comparative newness of his vehicles; Despite the fact that the one flies and the other is earthbound, they are pretty much the same but one has become a matter of course in ways in which the other has not. And, what a difference it makes! What if the motorist gave the same degree of concentration to the oper- ation of his vehicle that the flyer does? That this degree of attention is lacking is illustrated to a certain extent by the number of accidents clussified under "inattention." "Too fast for conditions" is another acci- dent classification that is regarded as another method of saying lack of concentration, in that it shows a lack of awareness. Millions of motor car operators, of course, have been driving for years. It has become an automatic process to a certain extent. The motorist has developed a response to a wide variety of conditions that seems en- tirely subconscious at times, The fiyer has not, it is insisted by those who would place him in the role of exemplar, He may become less at- tentive at a later date, for familiari- ty as a breeder of inattentiveness is widely and unfavorably known. exercises in the selection of his fuels and lubricants. In contrast with the hit-or-miss system of the car owner, who may change gasolines three times during the week, the airplane operator finds the fuel precisely Suiive to his power plant and sticks The same is true of the lubrica- tion ofl he uses. Around private garages when the world is getting into its cars to go to work, it is common, indeed, to hear newly started engines raced, It is a practice against which motor- dom has been warned ever since the first internal combustion engine sputtered its way through traffic, But, it persists. The difference 'around the airport is striking. Everyone is acutely aware of the possibilities of racing an engine before the lubricant is thoroughly = eirculating--in spite of the fact that the speed of the air- plane engine is much lower than that of the gverage car power plant. Racing the engine starts off as a dangerous proposition in aviation, where in' motordom it became a fairly well fixed habit. : If, as it frequently does in some climates, it takes half an hour to work the' engine up to its top speed with safety to its vital organs, there is no skimping on time on the part of the airman. The opposite attitude costs motor car owners heavily. Another respect in which the air plane pilot sets a good example for the car driver is in his actions im- mediately after he enters the cockpit or cabin preparatory: to taking-off, The first thing he does after getting settled in his seat is to try out the controls to make certain that no cables or rods have become loose or inoperative. © Furthermore, he ac- quaints himself fully with the fact that the controls are operating throughout their entire range. Why should not the motorist do the same with regard to his brakes, steering, accelerator, clutch, horn and other controls? That is another poser asked by those who insist motordom can learn by looking into the skies. ---------------------------- The Mexican Aeronautical As- sociation will hold an educational air week in Mexico City Novi r 12 to 18, cork k hor One of the factors that is pointed out as militating against this, how- ever, is that conditions of flight are constantly changing. There are holes in the air, differences in air current directions, and, more important, there is the necessity for keeping the plane balanced in two ways, la- torist has no worry over keeping his vehicle balanced in a fore-and-aft or side-to-side direction. The advan- tage gives him a chance to lapse where the airplane pilot must be constantly on the wmlert. It is the difference between a solid and a fluid highway. Another form of attention in which the automobile driver might emulate the pilot is that gfven to the instru- ment board, That a large proportion of automobile drivers do not read the bulletins being broadcast in front of them by the increasing number of gauges is a subject of endless cri- ticism on the part of the engineer. If they heeded these warnings it would forestall many a trouble that is costly to repair or that results in a waste of time, such as the fa- miliar case of running out of gaso- line, The pilot gives much more atten tion to his instruments. He must of course, for advance warning of pos- sible engine trouble is the best pre- cordingly, his oil pressure gauge, his gasoline level gauge, motor tempera- ture indicator and oil temperature thermometer are constantly under his eyes.

Cer- tainly not enough as preventable service and repair bills reveal. 'When the airman discovers that his oil is running low or the gaso- line supply is near exhaustion, he picks. out a place to land with a celerity that prevents damage to the engine or difficulty in bringing the plane down. Many a motorist never makes the discovery soon enongh. He goes on until adequate lubrication results in a burned bearing, a scored cylinder, or the like. Or, he travels past a filling station only to run out of gasoline, and has to have a supply brought to him at additional cost.
