'the other i job is the $80,000 warehouse and storage tanks ot the Sun Oi Comp- any, mn Ashbridge's Bay, on the Lo- routo harbor front. 'the Sun Oil Company job was a- warded to the Oshawa coucern in face of stiff opposition from contrac tors in Toronto, Winnipeg, Montreal and Windsor, 'Lhe contract calls for a large amount ot concrete and wood piling to hold the storage tanks. The grandstand job is one of the | most interesting contracts let an | some time and one of tae finest cv- er brought to this city, totalling a- bout $100,000. It will be handled by Oshawa firms entirely, except for sup contracts for a portion of the labor let in 'Loronto. 'the job consists al- most entirely of lumber and - labor, and the contract for 'the lumber sup- ply has been let to the Oshawa Luui- ber Co. 2 The grandstand will seat approxi- mately 72,000 people. It will be built in 179 units, each seating 400 people, and will have 15 rows of seats run- ning back to a height of 3U feet. A total of 1,417,100 board feet of lum- ber will be included in the construc- tion, Lhis lumber will be cut to spe- cifications at the mill, and loaded on cars, three units ta car, Each unit will be unloaded separately at To- ronto and built as fast as the Aum- ber. arrives, and then the 179 units will be assembled into a completed temporary grandstand. iy 'I'he contract for the job is being formally signed this afternoon, all | of the terms of the contract having | already been agreed to by both part- | jes. Work will start soon. ASK TOWNSHIP T0 PAY FOR POLIGING Osawa Has Borne East Whitby's Police Court Costs for Six Years Tor six years, since Oshawa was erected into a city, the' township of East Whitby has enjoyed police protection, police court accomoda- tion, transportation of prisoners to Whitby jail, and even the feeding of the prisoners, at the expense of the city of Oshawa, But this sit- uation is to be changed. | "At the council meeting Monday evening the city treasurer was in- structed to prepare a statement of the approximate cost of court services rendered to the township, and the city property committee was authorized to ar- range a meeting with the council of East Whitby township with a view to adjusting the cost. Introducing 8 recommendation to this effect, which carried, Al- derman Morris, . chairman of the | city property committee, declared that it was unfair to ask the city to pay the cost of police protection for the township, and said that it was his committee's intention to have the matter adjusted as soon as possible. | No Cha in Bread Prices Ona Although the wheat prices are abnormally low there are no changes in the price of bread in Cornwall. This is attributed to the fact that the majority of the bakers are buying their flour from large mills which purchased their wheat when the prices were high. ures Snake in February on -- Stephen Stone, R.R. 3, Napanee, 18 the possessor of fA snake 20 "inches long and as large around as the middle finger.

WHITBY TAXES Petition Presented To:Coun- cil Asking for Street The daily suggested devotions of "The Fellowship of Prayer for 1930" will be published by this newspaper throughout the Lenten or pre-Easter season, beginning to- morrow and concluding Eag- ter, April 20, "The Fellowship of Prayer" is a movement conducted undef the au- spices of the Commission on Evan- gelism and Life Service of the Fed- eral Council of the Churches of Christ in America.. The purpose of the movement, according to the Rev. Dr. Charles L. Goodell, New York, N.Y., executive secretary of the Commission, is to further the ob- servance of the Lenten or pre-Eas- ter season as a period for deepening the spiritual life and for increasing the consciousness of unity in wor- ship among people of all the church- es. The use of "The Fellowship" devotions privately by individuals and families, and publicly at ser- vices small or large, is earnestly commended to the Federal Council's entire constituency comprising twen- ty-eight denominations with a mem- bership of more than twenty million. In foreign countries many mission- aries and members of the national churches will join in "The Fellow- ship of Prayer." The author of "The Fellowship" devotions for 1930 is the Rev. Di. Jay T. Stocking of Pilgrim Congre- gational Church, St. Louis, Mo. The Rev. Dr. Stocking brought to his F ellowship of Prayer Articles During Lent task a pastoral experience of twenty- five fruitful years and the collabora- tion of a committee representing the national superintendents of evange- lism of the denominations. This year the devotions have been prepared especially as antici- patory of the 1900th anniversary of Pentecost or the beginning of the Christian chureh, which will be celé- brated by all denominations from Easter to Whitsunday in June. The general theme taken for the devo- tions is "Coming to Terms with Life." "To adjust ourselves intelligently, understandingly and happily to life in its many aspects and with its changing fortunes is our uncreasing problem," according to Rev. Dr. Stocking. "To solve that problem is to master the art of living. "Religion is an end in itself. But it is likewise a means to this end of good living. To seek and to use the help of religion in this divine undertaking of ours is the object of our Lenten meditations. 2 "The Christian religion is a way of life. Its Interpretations are alive with peace, hope and power. As we reflect on the spirit and words of its divine Central Figure we shall see every new reason why He should be called the 'Light of the World," and discover with increasing clearness that it is only through His view of men and of God that we have life and have it abundantly."

This ~ harbinger of spring is still alive and neighbors of Madame Zedda, who made the find, are quite interested in it. Passes Resolution Urging Dominion Government to Take Steps to Complete The Work When found, the butterfly seem- ed to be dead, but some time af- ter Madame Zedda had taken it in- to the warmth of her residence, it revived and has been lively since that time. It was found on a cur- rant bush in a sunny part of the garden, sheltered fromr north ana west winds. Whether it eherged from a cocoon on the currant bush, brought out by the sun's warmth, or flew to it from some other place, is a matter of conjectur., The butterfly was deep blue, al- most black in color, with two rows of yellow markings across the wings, Two red marks at the base of the wings and a few light blue spots were aleo noticed.

Firstly, they must be very careful that their uniform must be clean and tidy. There is no crime about being poor, and it may not be possible for a Scout to keep having new parts to his uniform, but it is certainly very much against the tenth/ Scout Law if his uniform, either new or old, is not clean and tidy. Impressions are peculiar things, and it is much easier to form a bad impression than a good one. There- fore on Scout in a sloppy, dirty uni- form can give a worse idea of the movement, than a dozen smart boys can counteract. Secondly the Scout uniform should not be worn on any occasion without the full knowledge of the Scoutmaster of your Troop. Boys shoul¢ ot make a practice of wearing their uniforms to places where other Scouts are on duty, un- less specifically told to by their Scout- master. There is sometimes a tendency to use the uniform as a free pass, and this 18 mot according to the first Scout Law, Fhirdly, a Scout should be especi- ally careful of his behaviour when in uniform. A boy who is a true Scout will al- ways watch his behaviour and live up to his oath, but he should always be very particular when he is in uni- form, Once again, a good impression is much harder to form than a bad one, and a badly or even poorly behayed It was pointed out, that when boys | FE I ---------- Scout Activities News of what the Boy Scouts of Oshawa are doing contributed by the scout lead- ers.

So it is in all things, and if a boy does not intend to be fair to his as- sociates by living up strictly to the Scout code of ethics, he should not continue as a Scout, and certainly should not parade himself around in his uniform in front of the general public. %* % % A Scout obeys orders, * % F » SCOUT NOTES Once more we remind all Scouts and Troop Committeecmen that on Friday of this week, March 7th, 1930, Field Sec'y Jonés of Toronto will present an illustrated talk on the Jamboree in the Y.M.C.A. at 8 p.m. 'Mr. Jones has promised an inter- esting talk illustrated by 103 pictures. ok On Friday last, the Fifth Troop held a dress rehearsal of the Concert they presented on the following Sa- turday.

Miguel was cut once in the wrist, and Rexach was cut twice. They separated when the seconds ruled that Rexach's cuts on the wrist were too serious to permit of his continuing the duel, but appar- ently they were not reconciled It 1s rumored that they may fight a- gain, Miguel came from Paris, where he has been staying with his father and other members of his family, and shipped over the frontier by automo: bile through a pass in the Pyrenees.

Mason crystallized. the general opinion of the great major- ity of members when he counselled that a resolution backed by the Chamber of Commerce should be forwarded as soon as possible to the Dominion government. There were industries which might locate in the city, he said, if water transportation were available here and it was high time that the city was able to tell these industries when the harbor would be completed, Monthly Meetings Upon motion of R.
