THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1931 PAGE THREM BOWMANVILLE IS VOTING TODAY ON FRANCHISE BYLAW Ratepayers to Decide If the Town Wants Gas Service Today the ratepayers of Bow- manville are voting on the' grant- ing of a franchise for a period of 35 years for the distribation of gas in the town and by eight o'clock the results will be known. There is not a ratepayer who will be able to say that the Ontario Shore Gas Company which is ap- plying for the franchise, has not done all in its power to place the facts and-figures plainly before the people. There has not been a ques- tion that any member of the com- pany or ahy town official hus not been willing to answer and it is hoped that with an extremely fair- kf run contest, the result will be ctory not only for the Company but for the town. For it certain- ly will be a victory for tne town should the bylaw pass, in more ways than one. It will provide Bowmanville with a utility which the town must have if it is to se- cure industries at a future date. Without it many companies can- not operate at all and thus Bow- manville is keeping them away by chise. There is also the question of employment of the many surplus workers in the town. at the pres- ent time. For close to four months these men will be provided with work at a fair wage if the fran- chise passes. Close to $100,000 will be spent within 12 months in bringing a pipe line and installing mains in Bowmaville. Any person who has made any study at all of the bylaw must un- derstand and realize that this is Bowmanville's opportunity. This is the chance to equip the town with a utility which the poor peo- ple need. Gas is economical as a cooking and heating fuel and any utility that is making living cheap- er for the working man is a boon to a community. It is expected that when Town Clerk, John Lyle, announces the result after seven o'clock tonight, that a substantial majority will fa- vor the franchise. Citizens caring to know the re- refusing to grant them a fran- | sult of the vote may do so by phoning this evening after eight o'clock to mumber 53 JOHN KENT SCORES IN PERFORMANCE AT CLOSING CONGERT Brilliant Pianist Is Son of Bowmanville People Mr. John Kent, son ¢f Postmas- ter C. B. Kent and Mrs. Kent, scor- ed an outstanding .success in his 'performance at the annual closing concert of the Toronto Conserva- tory of Mtsic at Massey JIall, To- ronto this week, according to mu- sical critics and others, who at- tended and who later paid tribute to Jack's performance. Massey Hall was packed for the occasion by an appreciative audience who were more than pleased with the performance of the pupils. The critic of the Toronto Even- ing Telegram, writing of Jock's performance, says: "One «f the most brilliant performances cf the evening was that of John Kent, who, with his teacher, Viggo' Kihl, played the Chopin Concerto in E Minor--Romance and Finale, Young Mr. Kent's technigue is beautifully finished without being the least pedantic; his playing marked a very lovely tonal quality and a keen perception of rhythm." Augustus Bridle, perhaps the most exacting critic in all Can- ada, says of Jack's performance in My memory ofte That mother of Guided so wisel Moulding with Character buildi By clearing the To dear ones p Guiding while h Constant examp Visions returnin Offering myrmu From those who From MOTHER Recounts events held sacred to me, Gave me the courage to stifle my fears.

H. TUCK, OPT.D. Oshawa, 1930 the Toronto Star: "The Chopin Concerto in E Minor for two pianos, gave John Kent a chance to show that he has learned to measure the cadences of Chopin with fine sense of tempo rubato and play with true poetry of tone not beyond his technique." Miss Jessie McDougall, ter of Mr. and Mrs, gall, formerly of was also on the Augustus Bridle daugh- James McDou- Bowmanville, program and of the, Star des- cribes her voice as "the dark-toned splendour of Jessie McDougall's opulent contralto in three splendid songs." Miss McDougall's teach- er is Miss Jennie Taggart. The Telegram cays: "Jessie McDougall, contralto, accompanied by Miss Jennie Taggart, was heard wifh acceptance in a group of three songs, most effective of which was Brahm's Sapphic Ode which was happily revelatory of the rich, dark qualities of her voice in the lower register." Among those who attended the recital from Bowmanville were: Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Kent, Mrs. J. >. Bell, Mrs. R. M. Mitchell, Mr. C. Southey, Mrs. H. . Miss Sybil Burke, Migs Edith Hillier, Mr. Jim Devitt, Mr. Art Kent, Miss Janie Masoy, Mr and Mrs. Geo. W. James, Mrs, C. A. Cawker and Mrs. A.
