THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1929 Gl fs Gt ® The Whitby Daily Times A BIG INCREASE "Peak" Demand For Power Was 942 Horse Power, _P.U.C. Statistics Show The amount of water delivered to the town mains during the month of September was 13,637,- 000 imperial' gallons which is at the average rate of 451,233 gal jons per day. The greatest amount pumped in any one day was on Monday, Sept. 9th, viz, 538,100 gdllons; 'the least was on Sunday, Sept. 22nd, and amounted to 882,- 500 gallons, A year ago the rec- ord stood at 11,701,800 for the month, an average of only 340, 060 per day. It is therefore, evi- dent that 111,173 gallons per day were pumped more in 1929 than in' 1928, Where did it go to? It is either being used by the public or being wasted in underground leaks, 4ax.

Mc- Gilliveay, and the baptismal fount a gilt of the Ladies' Aid in mem- ory of four prominent former members of the congregation, were unveiled and dedicated., The at. tendance was so large that emer- goncy chairs had to be placed in the main aisles to acconimodate many of the late comers. It. was particularly fitting that | there was a distinct military atmosphere to the service, Many of those who attended were old comrades of the late Captain Me- Public Servant For 37 Years Is Honored at Ontario Hospital At noon on Wednesday in the Music Hall of the Ontario Hospital Mr, Hugh Ro 3, ~ssiziant farmer, was 'presented with a purse of money from the staff, Dr. G. H. Stevenson, the medical superin- tendent, presiding, Mr. Ross is re- tiring from act've service to take up residence in Port Whithy. In making the presentation Dr, Stevenson spoke of Mr, Ross' 37 years of public service, and his faithfulness and devotion to duty during that time, Such a record of service, he stated, should prove a lesson and inspiration to others. He hoped that Mr, Ross would live Jong to enjoy his well earned holi- day also that he would not forget the Hospital and the members of its staff with whom he had long been associated. In reply M., Ross thanked Dr. Stevenson and staff for their kindness. It had also been a source of pleasure to him to work at 'he Ontario Hospital, and as he took up residence at Port Whitby ne 'did not feel that he was severing his connection with his friends, Mr. Ross has been a member of the local hospital staff since 1914, hospital the service were former parishion- crs of the late Captain McGillivray from Parkdale, Toronto; Orillia, and other charges, The Orillia Presbyterian church was repre- sented by Messrs, J, H, Eaton, 8. C. Harvie and Jos. Hill, The memorial window was pre- sented to the church by J. McKel- vie Urle in behalf of the congrega~ tion, and was received by the Rev. J. M. Laird, the minister, who con- ducted the service, The baptismal fount was pre- sented by Mrs, Robert McDonald, in behalf of the Ladies' Aid. The song service was arranged in commemoration of the occa- sion, the beautiful hymn, No. 399, "Wonderful Love," a favourite of Captain McGillivray, being sung at the close of the sermon, Mr. Laird found tWe subject of his sermon in the words of Jesus Christ, as taken from the gospel according -to St. John, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life." In these words were to be found the true meaning "of life for they summed up the characteristics of Christ's life. The life of Christ contained an element of adventure, adventure in the moral and spirit- ual realm, In every lif~ patterned after that of the Saviour, it was necessary that there should be this quality, Life was also a trust for Christ, a trust used not only for His own guidance but for the bene- fit of others and the furtherance: of the Kingdom of God, Life was also a possession for Christ, a committal to and upon God, Men and women in their lives needed some support, some inner sanctuary and guidance; Men and women needéd to have their lives anchored in the 'Eternal, Such were the lives of those to whom tribute was heing paid, Their's was the spirit of adventure in the moral and spiritual realm. Life to them was a trust in God and a glorious possession. During the great war, when life was stripped of so many of its outward trap- pings, soldiers felt the need of spiritual support, the need of God. That need, Mr, Laird stated, was heautifully exemplified in the, words of the 23rd psalm, '"Thd Lord Is My Shepherd." The design of the memorial window is sym- bolic of those words, the central figure depicting the Good Sheps herd with a little lamb in Hid arms, In erecting that window to the late Captain McGillivray and the baptismal fount to those foum noble ladies of the church, the members of Knox congregation were honoring themselves, Mr. Laird declared. It was a distinct honour to pay honour to the mem- ory of.such people. In Captain Me- Gillivray he described the compose ites that go to make a good citi zen, a good soldier 'and a good minister of the gospel, As a citi~ zen, Captain McGillivray was pub- ! 3 | FL.

In closing, Mr. Laird urged the members of his congregation to keep the memory of Captain Mec- Gillivray fn 'their minds and to remember him through' the figure of the Good Shepherd that shines from the memorial window, "Let us kéep that figure in mind that we may follow in his foot- steps," he sald, "Let his words be still heard in our hearts that we may follow into the everlasting Kingdom of God." The Rev. Norman Harold Mec- Gilllvray was minister of Knox church from February, 1912 to June 1919, He is remembered ten- derly by his former parishioners. A: pastor, friead and preacher he endeared himself to them, and to a much wider circle of citizens, Mr, McGillivray was proud to serve his country overseas in the capacity first of chaplain of the 91st Battalon, and lt' r in France with the chaplain service, It is now realised that his experiences dus- ing that period, July 1916 to Octo- ber 1917, are what undermined his healht and made it necessary for him to return home, greatly impaired in strength. It is a gracious act on the part of his former congregation to re- member his labours for them and for his country, On Sunday, May 27, 1928, a memorial service was held in Knox church for Mr. Me- Gillivray, Shortly afterwards the Ladies' Aid initiated the move Lo place in the church a worthy memorial, Many in the congrega- tion wished to share in the work, believing that In remembering their late minister they would honour themselves. As a result the heautiful window is the gift of the members to the church, and was set in place this summer, In attendance at the service on Sunday morning were Mrs. Mc Gillivray and Misses Margaret and Jean McGillivray, the Elgin Regi- ment, members of the old 91st Battalion, and other Great War veterans. IABERALS TO MEET The supporters of W, E, N, Sin- clair, K.C., Liberal candidate in South Ontario, are invited to a meeting In the office of A. G. Browning, K.C., this (Thursday) night, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of organization. JUDGE RESERVES HIS DECISION IN ACCIDENT CLAIM Conflicting Evidence Was Given by Witnesses in Judge Ruddy reserved his deci- sion in the case of Baker vs, Loft and Preston which was heard on Wednesday afternoon during the sessions. of the civil assizes of the County court, The action arose from an auto- mobile smash on the Kingston highway on the night of April 29th, when the three cars of the several men involved in the case figured in two collisions in quick succession, The plaintiff was M. Baker of Toronto for damage to his car while the defendants were Sam Preston of East Whitby town- ship and Harry Lott of Oshawa, The evidence given in the case showed that Baker and Preston had heen travelling west while Lott was prouding east behind a large truck. The first accident oc- curred when Lott turned out to pass the truck, found that he could not make it on account of the on- coming car, so turned back, While turning back, the rear of his car skidded towards the centre of the road and collided with the back of Preston's car, Baker in his evidence claimed that he was pro- ceeding a short distance behind Preston when Lott after striking the first car, skidded to-thé north part of the highway in his path causing the second collision. J. P, Mangan appearing for Harry Lott attempted to prove that Baker had been travelling at too fast a pace for the conditions which existed that night and that his headlights must have been de- fective, Baker's solicitor, E, C. Bogart of Toronto claimed that Baker had done everything a reas- onable man could in trying to pre- vent an accident and that the blame should be placed on the de- fendants. The evidence given by the three men in the case was very conflict- ing. Preston was represented by D. A, J. Swanson of Oshawa, Arrangements For Revision of Lists Appeals for revistfon of the voters list for the town of Whitby for the coming election, are to be heard by Judge Ruddy at his chambers at the court house on Tuesday, the fifteenth of October, Appeals for revision of the list will be filed by the town clerk, Mr. J. Frost, until Saturday the 12th of October. Notices to this effect have been issued by Sheriff S. J. Paxton, secretary of the clection board for the riding of South On- tario and Judge J. E. Thompson, chairman of the board. THANKOFFERING MEETING The annual Thankoffering meet- ing of the W.
