One of the most striking additions to the park has been the planting of a bed of shrubs directly behind the memorial, primarily as a means of beautifying its sur- roundings, and secondly, to keep thouchtless young people off the back of the memorial. This bed, with a border of barberry bushes, and a massing of ever- greens, presents, even now, a beautiful appearance as it grows the effect will be even more striking. In the centre of the park, the paths which were worn in the grass by pedestrians using the park as a short cut are being dug up, and will be either sced- ed or sodded, so as to restore the smooth surface of greens- ward over the whole park, When that is completed, it is proposed to use hedges to block off the anoles of the park which were inviting to trespassers, so as to prevent the use of the park as a short cut from Cen- tre to- Simcoe streets in future, Up to yesterday, this work was done under the supervision of the city property committee of the city council, but from to- day it will be fdeh She. igdic- tion of the bogrd ek park: com- missioners, to which the park . was: turned over: at a. meeting held last night.

Ltd., of this city, to be de- livered as planned by water trans- portation. This shipment has arrived in Montreal, and, according to its original routing, would have been brought to Oshawa from Montreal by a vessel of tht Canada Steam- ship Lines. Owing to conditions which exist at present at the Osh- awa Harbour, however, with thou- ands of tons of coal piied on the only wharves available to ship- ping, 'officials of the Canada Steamship Lines state it is impos- sible for them to carry out this agreement, As the result the consignment must be transported to Oshawa by rail. The difference in the cost as between the two methods of trans- portation is said to be a very ma- terial one. Youth Killed In Parachute Leap Chesley, June 4.

A corner stone, bearing this in- scription, was laid in the south- east corner of the new Grace Lu- theran Church, at 152 Albert St, last night. A large number, in- eluding members of the congrega- tion and others, gathered on the grounds in front of the new church at seven o'clock to witness the ceremony, which was perform- ed with the impressive ceremony and dignity attached to the rites of the world's oldest Protestant denomination. Rev. A. C. Hahn, the pastor, was in charge of the services while the corner stone was laid with a special silver trowel by Rev. G. Walter Schoedel, of St. John's Lutheran Church, BStrat- ford, head of the department of missions for the Ontario district. Missouri Synod. After the stono had been "well and truly laid," F. M. Dahmer, a member of the building committee, presented tha trowel to the pastor on behalf of the congregation. Taking his text from verses ten and eleven, the. third chapter of Ezra, Rev. Mr. Schoedel in an in- spiring address likened the build- ing of the new church with the laying of the foundation for the temple at Jerusalem. It was an occasion of great rejeicing and gratitude, he said, gratitude to God for blessing the endeavors of the congregation in bringing the precious gospel of the Saviour to many people. Congratulations to the members of the congregation for their en- terprise were offered by ex-Mayor W. J. Triex, contractor for the work, who spoke briefly when in- troduced by C. F. Schoneau of the building eommittee, Mr. Trick emphasized that the build- ing of a church was a noble thing, with great portent of good for the whole community. The congre- gation was deserving of praise for, the sacrifices which it was making 80 that it might have a suitable house of worship. Mayor Ernie Marks had alse been expected to speak at the ser- vice but sent word to the pastor, regretting that he could not at- tend on account of the pressure of public business. : The New Church Although not a large edifice, the new church, plans for which were drawn by W. H. E, Schmalz, Kitchener architect, is of attract- ive design and makes a splendid addition to the church homes of the city. Of red brick comstrue- tion, with high gabled roof, it is a substantial and good-looking structure, According to the con- tract it is to be finished by Sep- tember 1, but the construction has proceeded with such rapidity that the church may be ready for occupation a month earlier. The auditorium will hold 108 people, while below is a large basement, to be equipped with Sunday school, kitchen, wash rooms and store room.

Hahn, came to Oshawa in August 12 of that year. For some time services were conduct ed in Welsh's Parlors while dur ing the past year, the congrega- tion has been using the banquet- room of the Masonic Temple for worship. The faith, courage and energy of the pastor and congre- gation is best demonstrated by the fact that starting three years ago with nothing, a residence for the minister was first acquired and then, in the face of wide-spread business depression, a new church was built, Members of the building com= mittee, who had a large part In supervising the multitudinous de- tails in Se" Sith the work: included . ahmer, C.
