This was an average of 1,- 820,000 gallons per day or a con- sumption of 77 gallons per head per day. This of course includes the water consumed by industrial con- | cerns as well as by private house- holders. This figure was the actual con- sumption in the city, but the gross pumpage was higher, being 691,- 000,000 gallons or an average of 1,883,000 gallons per day. The dif- ference between this figure and the net consumption includes the amount of water, used at the pump- ing station for cleaning and back- washing the filters, etc. The total in 1930 was equal, al- most to a gallon to the amount of water used in 1928. It was slight- ly lower, however, than the pump- age for 1929, which was 728,000,- 000 gallons, an overage of about 2,000,000 gallons per day, The per capita figure for last year was 78 gallons per day both years being higher than 1928, when the per cap- ita consumption was 75.5 gallons. The figure for 1930 and 1928 were higher than for any. other year in , the city's history, except 1929. Tow months in 1930, January and November, showed an increase in pumpage over the correspond- ing years of 1929, pumpage was very nearly equal. The other months showed reduc- tions this year from the 1929 fig- ures, January, with 63,000,000 gallons pumpage, was the peak month this year, with June the lowest month, the total being 52,- 800,000. In 1929, the peak month was April, with 71,300,000 gallons, and November the lowest, with 51,- - 025,000 gallons. The comparisons of gross pump- age by months for 1930 and 1929 ~18: January this year 63,000,000 gals; last year 61,510,000; Febru- ary 56,950,000 and 59,100,000; s March 61,420,000 and 65, 290,000; 59,220,000 and 71,300,000; May 59,320,000 and 6s, 154,000: June 652,800,000 and 60,420,000; July 58,080,000 and 60,995,000; August 58,670,000 and 60,100,000; September 54,300,000 and 56,450,- 000; October 55,930,000 and 58,- 2. 180,000; November 56,477,000 and "$1,025, 000; December 54,890,000 and 55,550,000. The cost of power at the pumping station in 1930 was $6,395. In 1929 it was $7,522 and in 1928 it vas $7,372. It Is interesting to tote that the power cost for the SATISFACTORILY Did Well Considering Lack of Experience, Says City Clerk Hare Taken on the whole, considering their lack of previous experience, the deputy returning officers chos- en from the city's unemployed, performed their duties fairly well, is the opinion of City Clerk C. E. Hare, who was returning officer for the city. Hardly any of the Deputy Re- turning Officers or the poll clerks appointed from the ranks of the city's workless had ever performed this duty before. Of course. lack of experience caused several er- rors in preparation of the forms on which the statement of the vote | was returned to the city offices, and some of the officers found dif- fieulty in deciding questions that arose at the polls, but most of them got along very well. Mr. Hare was constantly on the job making rounds of the polling booths and exercising a general supervision, while December | 80 that the recording of the elec. tor's wishes went along smoothly in general. Trouble was experienced by elec- tors in two or three of the polls, where the deputy returning officer or his clerk apparently did not understand fully the printed in- structions handed to him and ex- plained by the clerk, but difficulty of this kind is sometimes met with even with experienced officials, Mr. Hare said. REDUCE ACCIDENT HAZARD In order to reduce the danger of accidents at street intersections, sand has been sprinkled on the more important corners of the city. On account of the ice and snow, motorists find driving diffi- cult and are forced to proceed with caution, present pumpage of water is abom the same now that it was several years ago, when only about half the amount of water was being pumped. This is due to the fact, that more efficient machinery has been intall- ed in recent years, says City En- gineer W. C. Smith. The amount of coal used during | the last year dropped to 158 tons, compared with 273 tons in thegre- vious year. This is due to the fact that the Viking gasoline engine has replaced the steam engine for aux- iliary pumping, The Viking en- gine was used about 102 hours or roughly two hours per day during the year. Part of this use was for auxiliary pumpage in answer to alarms from the fire departmenet. The balance was a certain amount of use at irregular intervals to keep the engine in proper working con- dition. This engine will handle 3,700 gallons of water per minute, which will take care of the city's ordinary uses and twelve lines of fire hose.

The attendance is about 120, of whom. 105 have already registered in one of the eight courses. The spirit being shown by the scholars is fine, and it is expected that the credits earn- ed will equal those of last year. An interesting feature of the school this year is the number of young people who have joincd the various classes. In the girls' specialization course. for instance, it had been planned to take course No. 3, the advanced course, but so many older girls registered who had not the previous courses that a quick decision was made to re- vert to No. 1, the introductory course. There is a. fine atendance, of nearly 20, in the general course on "The New Testament." There are a dozen registered in the gen. eral course on "Material and Meth ods of Missionary Education." the specialization courses, that for for leaders of boys has the Dest attendance, reaching about 20, Thr courses for leaders of young peo ple, girls, primary and junio classes, have about 15 each.

He also was given the op- portunity to learn the cheese-mak- ing trade, but he never made use of this knowledge. The lure of the road drew him to Michigan, where, at the age of sixteen, he joined his brothers who were engaged in the theatrical profession there. The name of Marks Brothers is one of the best &nown ones in the last half century in the show world, and that of Ernie Marks is not the least among them. After he had stayed with his brothers for about three years, he left them and re- turned to Perth, where he started out for himself. He managed a troupe of 25 artists for years, sticking to the game through fat years and lean, and becoming one of the most successful show men in Canada and the United States, In 1922 Mr. Marks left the road show business, and settled in Osh- awa, where he established the New Martin Theatre, his .aim being to provide the citizens of Oshawa with a higher class of vaudeville and picture entertainment than they were getting in any other way, His business thrived, and in February, 1928, he purchased the block in which the theatre is situated. A few years ago, he erected the fine residence at 389 Simcoe street north in which he now resides, Mr. Marks married Catherine Reynolds, daughter of the late Charles Reynolds, of Brockville, Ont., on July 24, 190) and there are four children, three sons and one daughter, These are Jack, who. has now become the manager of the New Martin theatre here, on his father's ascendancy to the may- or's chair; Ernest, Jr., who is at- tending Queen's University; Ted, and Betty, at home. Mr. Marks has taken an interest in civic affairs from the time of his establishment in Oshawa, and in 1925 and 1926 was an alderman representing the south-east. ward. In the latter year, he was chosen as chairman of the Fire Protection and City Property Committee. : The early days of Mr. Marks' life, on the open fields and along the streams of his father's farm, are reflected in his chief recrea- tions, whieh are hunting and fish- ing. He is a member of the Osh- awa Rotary Club, and of the Cana- dian Order of Foresters, He is an Anglican and a Conservative. or | Schools | 3 | Cocks who !

This baby was born at four o'clock on Friday, the second day of the New Year, while the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Smith, the baby born in the hospital did not ar- rive until Saturday morning. IMPERIAL NIGHT Imperial war veterans of Oshawa will have their big night at the Rotary Hall on Thursday, when the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion wil hold its first "Imperial Night." A committee made up of Imperial war veterans is in charge of the proceedings and while the nature of the program Is being kept a dark secret. it is known that the entire Welsh Male Choir will have a prominent place in the entertain. ment. All war veterans of the city whether members of the Legion or not, are given a cordial invitation to attend this function. HIGHWAY SLIPPERY The sudden descent of winter has left the highways both east and west of the city in a very slippery and dangerous condition, it is re- ported by motorists coming {into Oshawa from both the east and the west. The rain which preceded the snow and froze on the pave. ment, being later concealed by the snowfall, has made the road slip. pery, and snow drifting across the highway, driven by the high wind, made visibility poor last night. Sev- eral cars were in the ditch both east and west of the city lgst night and one motorist report that a large Martin transport truck and trailer had left the road and crashed over an embankment near Cobourg. DRY FALL An indication of the seriousness of the dry season which this dis- trict experienced this fall, is re- lated by city engineer Smith, who now has a gang of men working in conjunction with the township employees in laying a sewer on Park road south. This sewer is below the bed of a three-foot deep ditch which has always had some water in it, but the engineer re. ports that not only is there no water in the ditch, but that his men have dug nine feet below the bed of the ditch, and have found the soil perfectly dry.

Once again the Christmas story was told, but this time in Ukrainian and the child- Christmas carols including several ren sang in pleasing voice favorite of the well knowh tupes and one or two old Ukrainian tunes. Jaro- slaw Salmers, a boy of about twelve, played the organ while William Zaleschook, of the same age accompanied on the violin, Address by Rev. L. Strandret In a brief address, Rey. L. Standret, the pastor, explained the real meaning of Christmas and then referred to the customs which were centred about the Ukrainian celebration of this great event. Many of these customs, he point- ed out, were of pagan origin and he stated that before the Ukraln- fans were Christianized they used to hold each year a feast in honor of the lengthening of the days. It was customary to serve twelve courses of food at this feast, he said, and it usually occurred early in January and approximately at the time Ukrainians now celebrate | Christmas. The pagan people of that time worshipped the sun, the moon 'and other gods. The 10th century saw the com- ing of Christian missionaries to the Ukraine from Constantinople, the speaker said. Christianity spread rapidly throughout the country and the missionaries at- tempted to stamp out all pagan customs. But the people still clung to them and as a result some of these pagan observances were woven into the Christian observ- ance of Christmas even as some of the pagan customs of the Norse- men still exist in the Christmas observance of Anglo-Saxon peoples. Santa Claus arrived last night and caused much merriment as he distributed candy and gifts from the Christmas tree to the children. At the conclusion of the enter- tainment tables were get and the "rich" supper was served. Al- though all time-honored dishes wer not strictly adhered to the feast was started in a manner which has been hallowed by cen- turies of time--the serving of boiled wheat with honey and pop- py seed.
