REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON DAILY TIMES JUDGE AND BAR PAY TRIBUTE T0 SHERIFF PAXTON Reference Made at Sessions in Whitby to Long ice Career (By Whitby Staff Writer) In his address to the Grand Jury at the opening of the coun- ty Court and General Sessions of the Peace Tuesday afternonn, Eis Hcnor, Judge J. E. Thompson, referred to the fact that this County Court will be the last in- which Sheriff J. F. Paxton wil act in his official capacity. Tis Honor stated that while he had nct been long at the Court House, he knew something of the long and very faithful and efficient service which Sheriff Paxton had rendered to the County of On- tario. There would 'be genuine and widespread regret, His Hon- or said, that Sheriff Paxton was retiring at the end of June, coup- led with the best wishes of a host of friends, including the of- ficials at the Court House, with wkom he had long been associ- ated, for many years of health and bappiness. Crown Attorney J. A. McGib- bon, speaking on behalf of the County of Ontario Bar Associ- ation, stated that Sheriff Paxton's term of service was that of a life- time, well and faithfully perform- ed. Mr. McGibbon expressed the hope that the evening of Sheriff Paxton's life would be one of hay- piness and contentment. The duties of the Crown Attorney were not always pleasant, but with the help and co-operation of Sheriff Paxton and his officers, nis task, on many occasions haa been made easier. Mr. McGibbon asked Sheriff Paxton to convey to Mrs. Paxton not only on his own behalf, but for the members of the bar in Ontario County, sin- cere and best wishes. Deeply touched, Sheriff Paxton found it difficult to reply. He thanked His Honor Judge Thomn- son and Crown Attorney MecGib- bon for their kind words which he trusted were deserved. Dur- ing his term of office he had tried to give to all his best service, working and co-operating with the Court House officials and members of the bar. To him it was no easy task, after over for- ty vears of service, to sever pira- sant relationships. As he retir- ed he would always remember his long term at the court house. and would always have the kindliest feelings towards those with whom he had heen associated whila in office. For one and all he wish- ed happiness and prosperity, Judge Thompson instructed the jury on the four criminzl cases to come before the court, which he enumerated, and asked them to determine after they had heard evience from the Crown whether or not the accuse should he placad upon their trial.

Trials charged by' HTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE 18 BEING HELD HERE (Continued from page 1) denomination in that great coun- try. Rev. T. N. Tattersall, D.S.0., of St. Clair Avenue Church, Tor- onto and recently of Swansea, England, delivered a forceful and inspiring address in which he held his audience in closest attemtion while he discoursed upon the con- tact between God and mam in dafly life from day to day. Christianity, according to the standards of Jesus Christ, rather than mere theological ideas about religion, was presented in a vital way. The challenge of the world today, said the speaker is to men® «nd women who will take Jesus at his word. The world, he sald, is tired and weary of our creeds and ot our moisy talking about our Leliefs. If followers of Christ. would simply follow Him, leaving with Him the present and here- ater, most o our present-day problems would be solved. To- merrow aternoon and evening holds another treat in store when Principal Jahn MacNeil, D.D., of MacMaster University, and presi- dent of the Baptist World Alll- ance will speak. The evening session tomorrow will feature a young people's ral- lv when B.Y.P.U. delegates from the entire district will be pres- ent. WINDOW T0 BE (Continued from page 1) in keeping with the other decora- tive effects and possibly the most beautiful. Little conception of what the memorial will ultimately look like can, of course, be gath- ered from a comparatively sma!'l design prepared by the artist whose description attached to the view in the exhibition window of the McGill Library. The wooden case, which has travelled thou- sands of miles about the Domin- ion, contains a selection of 30 vol- umes taken from the 13,000 books available in the Travelling Li- brary Department. A special effort is 'being made by the department to put travel- ling libraries in every school in the Province of Quebec, the de- partment being assisted in this work by the Department of Edu- cation at Quebec, which pays half of the fee of $4 necessary to ob- tain a travelling library. This library, containing on the aver- age 30 volumes, may he kept in the school for six months. The department is also trying to get all Women's Institutes of the province and other organiza- tions to send in for travelling 1i- braries. The make-up of each case is not more than half fiction. the rest of the books.being of an interesting vet more educational nature, such as biography, his- tory, philosophy and travel, New books are being added constantly to the department's collection.

It. was the first game Frey pitched since a hone in his throwing arm was chipped several weeks ago. Har- vey Hendrick, the Reds' substi- tute first-baseman, and the lea- gue"s leading batter, got three hits, one a triple, while Nick Cul- Jop hit Moss for a double and a home run over the left-field fence.

ERNIE MARKS, Mayor. design istelf reads as follows: "This design is intended to re- present the theme of Ministry and Service. The figures in the lower half of the window are first the Prophet Isaiah. The central figure is that of Our Lord aud the right hand that of St. Paul. "The first, the outstanding fig- ure of the Old Testament whose writings like that of St. Paul, were sublimely beautiful, the Prophet Isaiah. The 53rd chapter of that book speaks with extraordinary beauty of Christ and His triumph oyer death, His humility and ser- vice. St. Paul, in his ministry to the churches, expresses himself in the same moving way. "The central group of figures is crowned in the upper part of the window by a decorative com- position of St. George, exemplify- ing the same sentiment and prin- ciples of triumph against the forces of evil, and Incidentally is in itself happily associated with the name of the Church. "Throughout the composition the shield, here used as a symbol of faith, bears suitable charges which contribute their part to the symbolie significance of the de- sign as a whole." The cost of constructing and in- stalling this memorial is placed at $1,750. Every opportunity will be afforded to every person who may desire to contribute to this fund with Dhomas McDowell, 468 Mary Street, acting as treasurer and ac- cepting contributions, while the many organizations and societies within the parish, together with the Sunday School, will be active in this connection. The sketch of the window as it will appear when completed, as prepared by the artist, will be on exhibition at St. George's Church all day on Sunday next, WARY ST.

The advent of Islamism drove the Assyrian Christians out of their own countries westward, Many Assyrian noblemen and their families left their cherished possessions rather than remain and submit to Islam. They mov. ed into Turkey then known as the Byzantium Kingdom, Moham- med II. or Mohammed the Great took Constantinople in 1453 when Constantine, the last Grecian em- peror, fell defending his capital. Through the great massacre which took place in the Church of St. Sophia, Constantinople on Eas- ter Sunday, 1453, the Christians were dispersed and the Navie fam- ily, whose name now had changed to Nayphe, were almost wiped out. Fifty-two years ago two de- scendants of this family were unit_ ed in marriage in Cairo, Egypt. These two people were the father and mother of the man, who spoke yesterday afternoon at Chautauqua. Outstanding of the many stories of his country that he told yester- day afternoon was the story and the demonstration of the whirl- ing prayer that the Mohammedans pray three times every day.

No Demonstration Several men in the crowd of about two hundred which surround- ed the Mayor as he spoke from a bench in the park denied that any demonstration, or parade, was To take place, One spokesman in the crowd stated "The Tunes has no right to publish anything about a demonstration going to take place. I'here will be no parade now you all is O.K." Another man, speaking broad Scotch accent, stated per is printing rumours, We have no intention of parading. 1 don't think we ever had any intention of staging any demonstration, Still another voice with the accent of the English Midlands, asked "Will the Times publish what is being said now, Mr. Mayor?" The Mayor -- "lI don't know. 1 think a Times man is here. You know newspapers often print things that are not quite correct." One of the unemployed -- thev should publish what vou have said here to-day, and also that the Times was wrong about the demon- stration." The Mavor--"Thank you, gentle- men.

Laird, bank inspector, that Stewart had cenfessed his guilt to him, Confession Presented Mr. Joyce, who was one of the first witnesses to be called, told of receiving a letter signed by Stewart shortly after an amount of $1,500 had been drawn out of the account of Archie G. James. The cheque which had been made out to a W. J. James, and was negotiated in Toronto, bore the signature of Archie James but it had been proven that Mr. James had made out no such cheque.

GOODYFARS WIN IN TIGHT GAME Victory Over Front Street Gives Them Leadership in League In a fast softball game last night, Goodyear became undis- puted leaders of the softball lea- gué when they defeated Front Street by a score of 11 to 8. These itwo teams were previously tied for first place. Front Street now joins with the High School and is tied in second place while Whiz comes close behind in third place. The game last night was all that was expected and while the Goodyear held the lead practical- ly throughout the game, the play could not have been much closer. Bert Colwell pitched a real game for the Goodyear, in fact, it was about his best exhibition of the season. It looked as if he might go up in the air in the last two frames but he held his own with the cloge co-operation of the men in the field. Goodyear batted first and took a good lead with four runs, play- and adding three more in the fourth. In the next innings they added four more and concluded the game with four scoreless in- nings, Their scoring was more or less in spurts while on the oth- er hand Front Street scored fair- ly steady. Starting with one in the first, tLey continued with another in tke second, 2 in the third, 2 in the fourth and 1 in the fifth, on- lv scoring one more in the last four innings. The last innings with Front Street three runs be- hind was as exciting as one could wish and it looked as though | showing they might possibly catch up. Hall was on third with only one man down, when in a nice double piay, Culley and Bates got out to end the game, Candler and Cole got nasty hits when they collided when both were after a ball. Cole got a nasty bump on the head and Stew Candler hurst his knee, that has given some trouble in the past, and which necessitated Oke sube bing for him the rest of the game, Moorcraft scored a homer on this init, the ball being left to its own while the players joined the in- jured. Jamieson scored the only cLther homer in the fourth frame. There will be no softball game tonight, the next game coming Friday, when the Business Men meet the Whiz, This will be a battle for third place. The teams were: Goodyear Bert Celwell p. McMurter c 8.
