A record breaking attendance made the event, one of the most auspicious in the history oi the church, The brotherhood are to be congratulated upon the excellence of the program that was: presented. The speaker of the evening, Rev. . Newton Powell D.D,, of Toronto, one of those who attended the Passion Play in Germany this year; brought (an inspiring message of his impres- sions of his visit to Oberammergou, with an intimate description of the spresentation of the play which at- ." tracts thousands of people from all' *: corners of the globe. The most won- ordinary w . dertul thing. about the; play; Dr. » Powell said, was that it ithousands of: people; whom the i church was' unable to reach. It was {'a moving sight 'to see people who 'had no religious - belief in the grip of Jesus Christ, Dr. Powell asserted. 'The village of Oberammergou, Dr. "Powell said, was situated in the midst of the majestic scenery' of the Ba- i.varian Alps. The streets of the vil- "lage wind in and out and there is 'Ino evidences of planning in the lay- 'out of the streets. The people lead ja simple life and anyone. who: stays "out after ten in the evening is left] valone and" is locked out.

Any adult could have had one. These tickets were in two parts with the same serial number on each. part, one to be kept by each person' who participated in the event, and the other part to be de- posited in a special sealed box in Mr. Brown's store, This: box, Mr. Brown had with him at the theatre. He cut it open and one of the attendants drew a ticket which had om it the name of Mr. Harper, The winner will be presented with the prize watch at the Regent Theatre, Saturday night, October 18. i Lads in Plaid and Blue Pre- sented Smart Appearance --Parade Was Unique Feature of Prosperity Week Program The cadets of the Oshawa Colleg- iate and Vocational Institute pre- sented a very colorful picture yesterday afternoon as they paraded through the business' section of the city. Crowds lined the sidewalks along the" route of march and had been presented at a loss and{watched with. interest' this. added { those: who take part only receive a very small amount for the large num- 'ber of performances. Amongst the children of the village there is no higher ambition: than to take part in the play. Such is: the. influence of the play upon the inhabitants: that there is no mofe saintly place on : 1 ge the face of the earth than this smal toe street through the: intersection village. .Oberammergou is. today + teaching the world religion in all"its simplicity and sincerity as it is taught in very few places.

The route of march car- ried the corps south on mcoe street to Bagot street, where the route was reversed and tiie cadets marched north on "Simcoe again to King street, where they proceeded east for some. distance and then re- turned across thé intersection to Church' street and returned to the school. The cadéts' parade was a unique addition to the Prosperity Week program and gave the people a chance to see the fine work: that is being done in making the young boys: of the city straighter in sta- ture-and discipline, It also acted as a diversion from the every day routine of: business and' created a welcome break in the:day's labor. escaped. In order to protect the! vil- lage pickets were placed surrounding the city to 'prevent any one from outside bringing in the plague. One night however, a man infected with the dread disease managed to escape the viligence of the) guards and en- tered the city, Fourteen per cent. of the population died and' such was the feeling' that the. people gather- ed at the church and vowed that if God would stay the. plague they would every ten years give the Pas- sion Play: Four days after the plague disappeared" and. not another person died'. The peoplé have: been true to their vow, Dr. Powell said, and have given the play every tenth year since 1634, it having been mov- ed to coincide with every score of years, so. that the performance waz given this year, 1930.

W. N.

Perhaps the reason is that, as fall advances, the citizens are finding that there are more odd jobs to be done in an- ticipation of winter than they can possibly handle themselves, and so they are doing the logical things, sending for an unemployed man to relieve them of the burden of the work. Thus a double purpose is being served.

AT OPEN MEETING Young Business Men And Guests' Enjoy Bright «Entertainment A very enjoyable open night, with a number: of the younger business' men of the city present as guests of the members, was held last night by the 'Oshawa Kinsmen's Club in Welch's par- lors. The gathering was featured. by splendid good-fellowship, hearty singing, entertainment. by the well known. vocalist, Reg Terrett and an interesting address on the joys and sorrows of a newspaper editor by M. McIntyre Hood, editor of The Oshawa Dally Times. The program for the meeting was in charge of a special commit tee, with D. C.

At the ¢lose. of the meeting, the members adjourned ' to The Tom Thumb Golf Course, where they. were the guests of. Eddie O'Dowd. Mr. Hood's Address In opening. his address I. Hood, commenced by putting his audience in a good frame of mind with numerous Scottish' jokes and anecdotes of newspaper life. Turn. ing to the serious side of his ad- dress he told of the arduous task of editing a daily newspaper and of the trials and tribulations of a newspaper man. 'Yet withall,"" he said, "there is something fascinating about being able to sit at a desk and look around the world every day, lo keep in touch with everything that is going on in the commun- ity, even to. the doipgs of the poor fellow who comes to the office and asks the fact that he has been fined or being drunk to be kept out of the paper. There is some- thing fascinating," he continued, "to sit at the automatic telegraph printer, such as is to be found in the office of practically every daily newspaper in Ontario, of any importance, and read the record of everything that is going on all over the world. Every resource of speedy communication, radio, teles graph, telephone and aeroplane is at the service of the newspapers of Canada through their great co- operative news-gathering organiza- tion; the Canadian Press." The. speaker recalled: many reminiscence of his life as a news- paper man to show the fascination of the profession; and told numer ous humorous stories of things from part and parcel of a report- ers' life, He quoted the words of a prom- inent man who said, "The safest man to tell a'secret to is a news- paper man." The thanks of the club to the speaker were expressed by Dr. L. -Hubbell in a well-phrased' speech.

Pro- fessor MacDonald is a delightful speaker and his vivid descriptions of the poet's thoughts and the ideas. behind most of his poems were a revelation to the assembly. In- his opening remarks the pro- sor Today Address on Lite of Kipling By Professor H. MacDonald of Toronto is Feature of Session Interesting Talk on Life and Poems of Great Engtish Poet Is Much Enjoyed by ' Hundred Local I. v fessor touched on the life of the great poet, "His early works" the professor stated "were flippant but clever and it' would. have been hard to see in them any future greatness. His "Departmental Ditties" were very" widely read and dealt with life. of* Indian officialdom." Interspersed with his- remarks Professor MacDonald read passages of Kipling's writings to show the difference in his early writings and those which came later. He ein- trasted the two works ané found while the early writings were cley- er they did not portray the miné and thoughts of the writer to any marked degree. He read passages of the "Galley Slave" which he de- clared was the most powerful of his early works and the poem in which that more subtle of his thoughts were portrayed and in which. the findings of his heart were first seen in his works. Then came the '"Bar- rack Room Ballads" which, while poetic recognition eould not Ue claimed for them, they were widely read and added greatly to the gath-! ering fame of the writer, At the conclusion of his address Inspector C. F, Cannon moved = vote of thanks for the splendid ora- tion given. Following the address the teach« ers once again indulged in Com- munity singing under the direction of Mr. Richer, the supervisor of music in the Oshawa schools. Af- ter a ehort recess a question drawer was conducted by Mr, R, A, Hutch- inson, Inspector of Schools for South Ontario, in which the teach érs addressed questions to the in- spector respecting schoo! work and which were ably answered by him, THUG ENTERS TWO STORES Peterboro, ~ Boring his 'way through the back entrance of two stores, one a jewellery store and the other a drug store, a robber escap~ od with $12 in cash.
