ENTHUSIASTS BUSY Although rain fell heavily dur- ing Saturday and early Monday morning, tennis fans were able to get in games on Monday after- noon after the sun had dried out the courts. Both the.courts in the city and those in Whitby were kept busy during the afternoon as both clubs prepared for the tournament games which will Hundreds 1 oured Durham During Blossom Days Many Trees Were Not in Bloom But Visitors Were Impressed With Beauty of County's Orchards Despite the poor weather prevaii- jng Durham County's first Twin Apple Blossom Days was an out- standing success and hundreds of motorist from Toronto and wet, and many from the East made the trip around the orhards of this part of the county. The cold weather of the past week was not conducive to bringing the blossoms on as quick- ly as was expected but never the less the blossoms presented a fine appearange and those who took the trip seemed well satisfied with it. The tour as planned locally took the motorists® 'over a 21 mile course passing well over a 1000 acres of ap- ple orchard and incidentally past some of the finest orchards in the province. Starting at the corner of King and Liberty Streets where a huge banner had been erected the motorist went north for six miles on the Manvers Road passing most- ly small orchards ranging from 5 to 25 acres each. Most of these were looking exceptionally fine with the:r heavy blossoms. Turning cast at Brent's Corners the trip continued to Bethesda Church where a turn to the South was made past the Werry, Collacutt, and Stephens' or- chards to Squair's beautiful farm farm below Happy Valley, The ttip continued down Luxton's side- rpad and then east through Provic- ence and into Clarke Township where the finest part of the trip was undertaken. This part of tne tour went past Henry Bowen's or- + chard of more than fifty acres, past Fred W. Browen's orchard and to W. H. Gibson's, the Apple King of Ontario, 100 acres of solid orchard with just a little to the north an- . 'other 75 acres owned by D. J. Gib- sons. The tour then continued east back into Darlington to the Boys' Train- ' 1ing School where the tourists were 'aliowed to pass through the grounds {and view the flower beds, irls gar- tiden and rock gardens. The tour, i then on its final stage led south to ighe highway, past the beautiful new | {Cemetery Gates to the Cream of iBarley Camp where hundred of motorists gathered on Sunday and Monday to hear the fine programs rendered by the Earlscourt dalva- tion Army Band of Toronto. So pleased were the sponsors of "Sthe trip with the results in it's first yeap that already plans are under way for a much more extensive trip gext' year. . // Many of the farmers along the 'route were a little skeptical during the past week as to the results but they ere more than pleased with the numbers that passed by their orchards. Mr. George Stephens, who first suggested the idea of a dour spent his holidav watching the raffi¢ go by and was highly elated. kK urther down at Squair's farm as many, as 20 cars at one time were gbeen 'passing through their orchards. "News About Town No Serious Accidents Despite the heavy traffic of the holiday not one accident of any kind were reported to the local po- lice over the week-end. The roads, particularly on Monday night were crowded with cars but apparently the motorists had decided to eéxer- cise care, courtesy and common sense. . Large Congregation An exceptionally large congrega- tlon attended the service at St. George's Anglican Church at New- castle on Sunday when the local branch of the Legion held a church parade, A large number went from Bowmanville for the service, Lodge Attended Service The Wellington Lodge S.0.E. at- tended divine service at St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church on Sun- day morning when the Rev, W. J. Todd, the minister preached a most appropriate sermon. The church was filled to capacity. Drury to Speak The Durham County Prohibition Union is meeting today at Orono and the Hon. E. C. Drury, former premier of Ontario is the chief speaker. Softball Tonight The Public School students mee the Whiz in a scheduled softball game at the Public School grounds tonight. Whiz got badly beaten last week and so the Public School so it looks as though there might be some fun with the two teams try- ing to make up for lost time, this evening. DISTRICT LEGION BRANCHES DO NOT SUPPORT TORONTO (Continued from page 1) tion, which has been far from satis- factory. In Toronto, theré are less than 5,000 members, while in the other 160 branches throughout the province there are approximately 20,000, so that the greatest strength of the Legion lies outside Toronto, and these branches will be de- lighted to see the Toronto situa- tion cleared up, as they have had a feeling for a long time that To- ronto has not been pulling its weight so far as the Legion is concerned. So far as the legislative activities of the Legion are concerned," assert- ed Mr. Hood, "the branches. out- side of a few in Toronto are well satisfied with the action taken by the senior commands, and are con- fident that their leaders are adopt- ing the right policy in not becoming hysterical, but in following sane and orderly methods of securing remedial legislation." within the next fcw weeks, VISITED NORTHERN ONTARIO J. D. Boddy and his daughter, Evelyn, have returned from a trip to their old home in Mil- berta, Northern Ontario. This was the first time Mr. Boddy has been - morth since he left there 17 years ago, and he was greatly surprised by the remarkable pro- gress made in the north country in that time, CHARGED WITH FRAUD The annual Sports Day of the Bishop Bethune College was held in the College grounds on Monday. The races were varied and closely contested. Frances Pearce was the winner of the Senior Sports Cup. She won the 100 and the 200 yd. Dash, the Hop, Step and Jump and Run- ning Broad in which she jumped 12 ft. 4 inches. Her most ser- fous rival was Helen Elliot who beat her in the standing broad jump and the high jump, For the Intermediate Cup Mary Dignan carried all before her, winning eight first places and two seconds. Joan Thorburn, aged 11 years, is a promising young athlete and Many Attended Sports Day At Bishop Bethune College won 'the Jumior Cup with 27 marks. She did a particularly high jump clearing 3 ft. 8 in. The Lower VI Form carried. off the shield by winning the great- est number of points. : One of the most amusing events 'was the Obstacle Race: The Needlewomen, the writers and those who could eat an apple in the shortest space of time had an even chance to show their skill against the fastest runners. There were a large number of visitors from Oshawa and To- ronto and although the morning looked threatening the weather was kind in the afternoon. Perley A. Wright, a resident of this city, appeared in the city police court this morning before His Worship Magistrate T. K. Creighton to answer to a charge of obtaining by fraud, the sum of $130 from the Central Can- ada Loan and Savings Company. The accused was not asked to plead to the charge and was re- manded until Monday, Juns' 1st on the request of the Crown. CHAUTAUQUA DATES : The dates for the coming to Oshawa of the Canadian Chau- taugqua Limited, for ey 1931 series of programs,have een fix- ed for June 8, 9, 10,711 and 12.

Further details of the Chautauqua programs will Le announced later. CIVIC COMMITTEES a The board of works and the fire protection committee of the city council both met on Friday even- ing prior to the usual meeting of the council in June. Work of a routine nature was disposed of. COMING EVENTS sertion. Minimum charge for each insertion, 35c. No Effect on C i Asked whether the Toronto trou- ble would have any effect on the coming provincial convention, Mr. Hood stated that it would not, ex- cept to make the proceedings more interesting than might otherwise have been the case. "Toronto com- prises less than twenty per ent of the Legion strength in branches and membership in the province, and the eighty per cent outside of Toronto are determined that the Toronto command will be brought into line with the rest of the provinge before the convention assembles." * City News ATTENDED BIG PICNIC Several Toronto men, representa- tive members of the Toronto bran- ches of the Canadian Legion, with many other men from all over Eas- tern Ontario, were in Oshawa on Monday for the community picnic staged by the Oshawa Legion. ROW-BOATS WERE OUT In spite of the cold'wind blowing on Monday many pleasure seekers took advantage of the sunny con- ditions to go out for a row on the lake from Lakeview Park during the big community picnic. FLAGS WERE OUT Flags were flying all day on Sun- day and also on Monday from -all public buildings in honour of Vie- toria Day, while many houses in the residential districts were gay with bunting. FISHING WAS GOOD Quite a number of people from the surrounding district spent the holiday week-end fishing in the vicinity of Kingston, Al- though the weather was rather. inelement with rain all day Sat-{ urday and Sunday, they report that the fishing was unusually good, and some very fine catches of pike are reported.

ORMISTON DAILY TIMES BRODKLIN FAR VICTORIA DAY A HUGE SUCCESS Large Number of Entries in Horses and Cattle-- Brooklin Won Sports The agricultural industry for which Ontario County is so well noted was well represented at the annual Spring Fair held at Brook- lin on Monday afternoon. Rain which threatened in the early morning did not dampen the spirits of President Douglas Thomson and his directors. By noon it had cleared up and short- ly afterwards crowds began to en- ter Community Park where the Fair was held. From every stand- point, despite unusual conditions throughout the country which are reflected in these parts, the Fair was a success. High Quality Exhibits The number of entries in ali classes compared favorably with other years, and many of the pop- ular exhibits of horses and cattle were on hand. Brooklin Fair has a great many warm friends who are regularly on the entry list, not for the small cash considera- tion which they receive if success- ful, but because of their interest in two sisters, Mrs. O. B. Richard and Mrs. Joseph Richard, of Port Edward, New York State. The funeral service will be held at the Armstrong Burial Parlors on Wednesday afternoon, May 27th, at 2.30 p.m. and will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Mof- fatt, of the Seventh Day Adven- tist College, Kingston Road. In- terment will be made in 'the Union Cemetery.

MRS. A, G. COPELAND Mrs. A. G. Copeland, 477 Mas: son Street, passed away on Sun- day afternoon, May 24th, after an illness of over a year's duration borne with faith and fortitude. Mrs. Copeland was the daughter of the late John Wiggins, an old and highly esteemed resident of this city, while in addition to her sorrowing husband she leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Miss Doris and Mrs. Reginald Norris, and two sons, Jack and Arden, all residents of Oshawa. The deceased was a member ol St. George's Anglican © Church from where the funeral service was to be held this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock conducted by the ree- tor, Rev. Canon deéPencier. Mrs. Copeland had resided in this eity for the past 26 years and leaves a host of friends who will sincere. ly: mourn her 1085, 4, wi akiis livestock breeding and in the Fair which has long been recognized as one of the agricultural show win- dows of the county. And the qual- ity of the stock exhibitied this year was a very high order. One could travel a long way to see bet- ter, even at Toronto and Guelph fairs, Robert Duff and son, of Myrtle, were there with some very fine horses, likewise W. F. Batty of Brooklin. President Douglas Thomson displayed a fine jersey herd, the only one on the grounds. Fred Holliday's 12 fine Holsteins made a popular exhibit, while the agricultural horses and ponies, owned by Robert Vernon and son, of Myrtle, were worth going a long way to see, Thers were other fine exhibits, and more so than in other years competition for the prize money was keen. The task of the judges in many instances was no sinecure. Visitors to the Fair this year noted some improvements in the spacious park, one of Brooklin's finest assets. The grass was neatly cut and rolled, and the trees plant- ed when the park was purchased some years ago, are coming along fine. Ten or 15 years from now the |! park will be a real beauty spot. The grandstand, donated last year by Dr. T. E. Kaiser is a valuable asset. Used at a Fair for the first time it was well patronized, One director remarked that it was just what was needed. The attendance thi§ vear was fully up to expe inne, due no doubt to the exceptionally fine afternoon. The gate receipts, it is understood, will be a little lower this year, but this is due to the fact that not many cars entered the grounds. The music during the afternoon was of an exceptionally high or- der. It was rendered by the Dur- ham Regimental Band, of Orono. | a very efficient musical organiza- tion. The program was a popular and generous one. Brooklin Day in Sports It was Brooklin day on the ath- lethic field, the home town base- ball, lacrosse and football teams chalking up victories. By a score of 4-0, Brooklin took the measure of the Markham Mar- mill football aggregation. It was 2 good game although a little one- sided as the score indicates, nev- ertheless Brooklin had to fight for the victory. The Brooklin girls' softball team applied a coat of whitewash to the Raglan team to the tune of 29-6, and Raglan quit at their own request in the fifth inning. It appeared that they had very little practice as errors were very nu- merous. Brooklin has a nice team of ambitious girls who displayed fine wares to the hundreds of fans who watched the perform- ance, The lacrosse game, the last sporting event on the program, was played between Brooklin aud Port Perry. The locals won hand- ily by a score of 7-2 after an in- teresting contest, Horseshoe Pitching Over in another part of the park horseshoe pitching, an old time sport which is again eoming into its own, attracted men from all parts of the district. The local event, in which there were five en- tries, was won by Arthur Boyce AMBULANCE SERVICE Phone 1082w DAYOR NIGHT Oshawa Burial Co. M. F. Armstrong & Son Proprietors and Fred Holliday. In the f{ree-for- all. or open event, Hooper and Co- wen, two well known pitchers romped away with the prize money.
