PUPILS ARE ENVIED The splendid vacation of two weeks, which teachers and pupils of the city's collegiate and voca- tional school and public schools will receive at Christmas time, has caused many to wish that their school days could come back again.

Municipal Offices, Oshawa, Nov. 26/30 'necessitated his removal to the KIWANIS CLUB IS ENTERTAINED BY WHITBY ARTIST Jack Parker Gives Highly Entertaining Program of Song and Story Seldom, if ever, has the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club been more inter- esting and entertaining than the one held yesterday noon at Welsh's Par- lours. Owing no doubt to the stress of business at this season of the year, the attendance was not as large as usual but there was, however, a good representation and those members who turned out were amply reward- ed by a special program which was given for the day. Prospects Bright for Sea Cad is After the toast 0 the King, sicveral reports were mads by different mem- bers of the Club whe have hal speci- al work in hand. One of th: most welcome and interesting reports was made by Jack Worrall, Who has been. and is, in ch.rge of the "Sea Calet" movement of which the Ki- wan's Club are the sponsors, as far as th. city is concerned. Mr. Worrall told of the interview ale by the comn.itee and himself with # dmiral Storie, who is in charg of the Séa Cadets in Canada. Pros- pects tor the Sea Cadets in Jshava are exceedingly bright judging from progress made already. It is expected that the movement will get under way immediately . and that before many months have passed, Oshawa will have a uniformed Sea Sadet corps, of which she can be proud, thanks to the enterpris: of the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club. Treasuwer T. W. Joyce gave a re- port and urged the members to pay their back fees, who still had them outstanding. John Parker Entertains It was President R. B. Smith's day at Kiwanis Club yesterday atternoon and he certainly gave the members a real treat. His con'ribution tothe Kiwanian's weekly programs proved to be one of the most talented enter- taining artists which the Kiwanians hervw wyvr had URE pleasure of pear- ing. John Parker, Collector of Cus- toms at Whitby, the man in question, was introduced by President "Bob" as a jovial Irishman, with a great sense oi humour and a true fighting spirit, President "Bob" spoke of Mr. Parker in warm terms of praise in his introduction and Mr. Parker greved to be just what Mr, Smith claimed. oe For twenty-five minutes, he de- lighted the gathering with a varied program of jokes, witty remarks, cr gs and recitations. He improved us he went along and Kiwanians showed their appreciation in no un- certain manner. The entertainment was ccrtainly of a very high order and Mr. Parker enlisted a host oi friends by his sociable manner and talented entertaining. The meeting was brought to a closc with the singing of "0 Canada", The | members left discussing one of two subjects.

A. McGibbon, who is attending the general ses- sions of the peace at Whitby, Mag- istrate T. K. Creighton was forced to adjourn the case of Charles Houck, charged with criminal neg- ligence, until Tuesday, December 16. Houck appeared in court with his lawyer, J. P. Mangan, and hail of $5,000 was renewed. The charge against Houck was laid following an accident which oc- curred at the corner of Simcoe street north, and McLaughlin Blvd., several weeks ago, in which a car driven by himself ran into a bicycle on which Ald. Clifford Har- man was riding. Ald. Harman was thrown forcibly to the pave- ment and received injuries which Oshawa Hospital where he confined for several weeks. Al- though able to get about, Ald, Harman is still somewhat disabled from his injuries, it is said. Several previous adjournments had been necessary in the case as the victim was not sufficiently well to appear in court.

(1362) AT ROTARY CLUB LADIES' NIGHT Certificates Presented . to Honorary Members of the Club Excellent entertainment, with the presentation .of the play, "Daddy Long Legs" by the young people of Simcoe Street United Church under the direction of Mrs. G. D. Conant, as the outstanding features, was pro- vided at the "Ladies' Night" of the Oshawa Rotary Club, held last night in Rotary Hall, with a splendid turn- out of the inembers and their wives. the gathering was one of the most successful of its kind, ever. held, by the Rotary Club, and, in addition to :he presentation of the play and mu- sical numbers between the acts, it was featured by the presentation of henorary membership certificates 10 tne honorary members of the club. 'This provided the speaking of the evening, and the speeches, both grave and gay, were thoroughly enjoyed by the company. President Frank Johnston, in the chair, presided over the gathering in a highly acceptable manner, and in his opening remarks, he stressed the importance which the ladies played in the success of Rotary efforts, and suggested that it might be a good idea to have the ladies take charge of one of the meetings and show what they could do in this line. The presentation of honorary mem- bership certificates was started when Mrs. G. D. Conant, deputizing for her husband who was absent on account of illness, in a neat speech, presented the certificate to R. S. McLaughlin, who made a neat reply. Mayor I. B. Mitchell presented the certificate to George W. McLaughlin, George Hart handed over that of W. A. Dryden, and Ross McKinnon made the pre- sentation to W.R. Geikie, In the ab- sence of H. A. Brown, Mrs. Brown accepted his honorary , membership certificate, the presentation being made by George Hezzlewood in a speech that sparkled with uncon- scious humor, A. G. Storie accepted the certificate on behalf of his father, . D. Storie, who was unable to be present. All of those taking part in this series of ceremonies spoke brief- ly, the outstanding thought being that Rotary services provided untold opportunties tor doing worth while work in which the honorary members were taking a prominent part. The presentation of the play "Dad- dy Long Legs" was excellent, the players giving their best performan- PLAY PRESENTED | Gruesome Discovery of Bones At Solina Today Proves to be ! What was at first suspected as being a gruesome discovery of human bones near Solina this morning turned out to be nothing else but old geese bones when an investigation was made following the discovery by the police. Resi- dents of the district unearthed the bones which were buried in shallow dirt and suspecting that they were human remains, imnie- diately got' in touch with local police and acquainted them of their discovery. In a very short time the police were on the scene and an examnation of the re- mains proved that they were not human at all but either an ani- mal's or a large bird's bones, Po- lice are of the opinion that they are probably the remains of a Thanksgiving goose dinner. | | | | Only Remains of Big Feast A report reached the office of the Oshawa Times about noon of the discovery and a reporter was at once despatched to get the facts in order to prepare what what was thought would be the headline story for the day. Hur- ried telephone calls were put through and little information could be gotten except that the police 'had been to the scene, Chief * Venton, of Bowmanville, was reached and the scribe was astounded when the Chief an- nounced that the find was only one of goose bones. Perhaps the person who buried the bones, when he reads of the dash which was made following the reported discovery to get the facts will in future burn the remains of his feast, instead of burying them in an almost open grave. Collegiate and Vocational Institute Night School to Be Thrown Open to Visitors Citizens will Be Welcomed Tomorrow Night and Tuesday Night -- Inspec- tion of School Should Prove of Interest Night school classes of the Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute will hold "open house' to- morrow night and next Tuesday night, A. E. O'Neill, principal, in- formed The Times today. A cordial invitation is being extended to all citizens to visit' the school on eith- er of these two nights and see for themselves the work which is being accomplished. With an enrolment of 700 stu- dents, the present night school is the largest and best which Oshawa has ever boasted. In fact so popul- ar have the classes become that there is said to be a waiting list for several of the courses, The building of a vocational school in connection with the col- legiate has of course much to do with the increased popularity of the night school as practical subjects may, now be taught which were for- merly impossible. With the best oy ces under the inspiration of a keen- | ly interested and delighted audience. All did well, and at the close the thanks of the gathering. were elo quently expresocd by AE, O'Nem. Between the acts, vocal solos by George Walsh and M. McIntyre Hood rounded out the evening's en tertainment. At the close of the play the hal was cleared and a period of dancin, greatly enjoyed.

Al- equipment for their use, night school students enjoy an almost equal opportunity with the regu- lar day students, the only differ- ence being that they have less time at their disposal. The teaching of such subjects as | aeronautics, commercial art, cook- {ing, drafting, dressmaking, electrici- ty, machine shop practice, motor mechanics, carpentry and wood- work, should prove of interest to vistors to the school as the work of the pupils may be easily seen and inspected. No doubt it should also be fascinating to watch in opera- tion the new and modern machines with which the woodworking and machine shop departments are equipped. Lady visitors will of course, find it fascinating to watch a class of young girls learning in all serious- ness the mysteries of the culinary art, an art which has a great deal to do with keeping the human race happy and contented. The dress- making and nursing classes should also prove of interest, Oshawa has made a heavy invest- ment in its new vocational school and a visit will ascertain that it is | paying large dividends in equipping young men and young women to become better fitted for life.

His Honor commented that if a | man were to be convicted of the the ft of chickens of less value than $20, he was, according to the erim- | inal code, liable only to a maximum | jail term of one month or a small | fine, whereas if he were to steal ! other goods of equal value he might | receive a severe penalty, This was {a matter, he thought, which the | grand jury might well consider. Address to Jury an honor to be a grand man, gentlemen, and you are selected from your respective muni- eipalities so that all parts of the {county mav be represented," Judge Ruddy said, 4 "Some would abolish grand juries land in fact all juries, but I think { we would do well to go slow. Per- sonally I am in favor of the con- |tinuance of juries. As representa- | tives of all classes in the community | it is a good thing for you to attend the court and to see for yourself {how justice is administered. It is | well for you have first hand knowledge of affairs and not to rely upon. the newspapers alone for in- | formation." | he fact that the grand jury's duty I would not prove heavy this session | was commented upon by His Honor. | Although there were three crimin- al cases he pointed out that the grand jury would only be called upon to bring in a bill on one case as the acensed in the other two | cases had elected to be tried by | judge without jury. This, the ac- cused had a perfect right to do, he said. After electing Robert Collins, of Whitby, as foreman the grand jury retired to consider the only case | before it, that of Rex vs, Mrs.' Eliz- abeth McKenzie, of 166 Elliott Ave., | Oshawa, charged with arson. The case of Rex vs. Henry Wil- son, of Harmony, also charged with arson is to be tried by judge with out jury while the third criminal case on the list, that of Rex. vs. Phipps, charged with a serious of- fense against a young girl, will also be tried without jury. | "It is | jury to | WELSH CHOIR GIVES FINE CONCERT AT BAPTIST CHURCH A varied program of vocal music was presented by the Welsh Male Choir, of Oshawa, at the First Bap- tist Church last night, There were eighteen items on this program, including solos, duets, and quartettes, as well as choruses by the full choir, which is composed of over twenty members.
