PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1937 Pet] Gorgeous Laurentians Natural Playgrounds Montreal, June 9.--The lure of the Laurentians increases as the health-giving, pleasure-promoting 'qualities 'of this easily accessible natural playground become more generally understood. Lying close #40 Montreal, fed by two railways, rnd bisected by good highways, the Laurentians offer a panor- ama of scenic beauty probably un- rivalled for its type in any other part of the world. Beautiful tree-fringed lakes, some close at hand to rail or high- way, some hinding in plearant val- jeys or fragrant forest of balsam and spruce, massive headlands and winding rivers, all repay the visitor a hundred-fold for a com- paratively short journey. And, most glorious of all through val- ley and over hill comes the re- freshing scent-laden breeze--due to the altitude of the Laurentians ----which revives the tired city worker and gives renewed zeal to life by calming jangled nerves. The Laurentians offer diversi- fled attractions not only to those who Seek recreation but to those who wish to escape from the bell of tht street car and the horn of the automobile. Accommodated for All Accommodation is varied to suit | all tastes and pockets, from the big hotel to the quiet farm house, while ample facilities are offered for fishing, golf. canoeing, tennis and bathing. Gay life, quiet life, either is at the command of the visitor to this unspoiled vacation | field of the Laurentians. | It must be remembered, how- ever, that the beauty of the Laur- entians is not always visible from the railway window or from the main highways. Cross-country roads lead often to the most beau. tiful of landscapes, to the most cosy of boarding farm hourse or hotel. SIMMONS TO HAVE AN ANNIVERSARY Boston Ladies' College to Celebrate Silver Jubilee! Interesting Experi of ment in Education Boston, Mass., June 10.--In oh] summer of 1870, John Simmons, Boston merchant, died at Little Compton, (R.I., leaving in his will the statement: "It is my will to found and endow an institution to be called the Simmons Female College, for the purpose of teach- ing medicine, music, drawing, de- signing, telegraphy, and other branches of art, science and in- dustry best calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an inde- pendent livelihood." On October 9, 1902, Simmons first opened its doors to students with classrooms, laboratories and dormitory in buildings on St. Botolph St., the enrollment for the year being 146 students. In 1906--25 years ago--when Simmons graduated its first class, a group of young women went out from-the Commencement exer: cises, which were held in Jordan Hall, as the first products of a new experiment in education. Un- til. that time, women's accom- plishments were limited to music lessons and practice in getting in and out of a carriage. The fact that Simmons' first class members were a little more serious that the average--for they knew they were having a definite | experi- | share in an educational ment--was not apparent their 'good times." of the class recall matters, col- lege girls of the years 1902-1906 were not so very different from college girls of 1931. The forty or fifty girls who lived in Simmons Hall St. Botolph Street, were pro- vided with latch keys to the front door and told they might stay out until ten on evenings when they had no studying to do. But soon the clock began telling tales, and A new system resulted. At zero hour the front door was locked in a way that rendered all delin- quent keys useless. And it was iust too bad for the Cinderellas who had np warm-hearted class- mates on the first floor! The 1906 commencement came t a time when higher education was still a subject for facetious comment by male collegians and when vocational training for wo- men was likewise a favorite topic for wags. One of the Boston news- #papers reported the commence. ment exercises under the heading "Maidens Given Collegiate De- gree," and the reporter. pointed out' carefully that the girls had "learned the proper way to decor- Ate a room, and the most approved style of ventilation and plumbing, and every individual one of them can tell a bread pan from an ice cresm freezer," "When these de- mure maidens stood up hefore the audience to receive their degrees," he added, 'the mere ordinary men who witnessed the sacred perform- ance actually held their breath at the sight of so much learning." In calling the roll for the first 25th reunion celebration at Sim- mons, which will be held from June 12 to 15, Mrs. Josephine during . Chase Silver ot Boston, chairman of the reunion committee, points aut that members of the class have t their mark in the world of. affairs. About 40 members of the vy 4 are expected to return for the reunion at the college which had, when they left it, 61 teachers and 456 students in the regular ¥ m, and which has now 1542 students and 147 teachers. They will find some 250 seniors going out from the 1931 commencement, as they went out from that first commencement at Jordan Hall in 1906, to show that women. may ac- hieve important places in the bus- iness world, library work, institu- nal. management and educatjon. al figlds, in which the class of '96 were pioneers.

Stimson, Secre- tary of State, pointed out that there are now more diplomats in Washington that in any other cap. ital. i To care for these diplomatic problems, there is to be a proto- col division, with Warren D. Rob- bins, now minister at Salvador, at its head. The second divisien is that of "International Confer- ences," and the necessity for its formation is due to the fremen- dous responsibilities of this coun- try--despite its formal detach- ment from foreign problems--in international co-operation, At its head will be James Cle- ment Dunn, long a secretary of embassy, who resigned from the diplomatic service last year, Discussing the new protocol di- vision, rezarded as the more im- portant of the two in its inherent duties, Mr. Stimson said last Fri- day.

From this point he ayed to get a closer view of the dangerous rapids below the bridge. He padd- led out along the bridge and then circled down the main channel, Before he realized it he was being carried swiftly toward the eddies below. After a moment's. hesita- tion, he determined to take a great chance and headed his light 16-foot cgnvas.covered pleasure craft toward the middle of cur< rent. The approach to the rapids pro- per took about half an hour.

Finally, after a frantic contest with the current, Chrisholm fore- ed his canoe beyond the backwash and headed on downstream to- wards Nun's Island, where, after covering a harrowing stretch of six miles of broken water, he landed. Arrived on the north shore of Nun's Isalnd, Chrisholm paddled in the Grand Trunk club, where he found friends of the paddling fra- ternity who saw him safely home.

Thomas. Burnett as arrears of of pension. By the same judg- ment the former fireman will re- ceive $550 annually from the city for the remainder of his life. Burnett joined the fire brigade in 1893 and rose to the rank ot captain. In the course of his du- ties he suffered two serious accid- ents and in 1916 after 22 years of service he was retired from the department. Ex-Fireman Wins Pension Fight 16 Years After Leaving Force The court action hinged around the manner of his retirement. The City contended that Burnett had resigned of his own free will and was therefore not entitled tc a pension. The plantiff claimed, however, that he was retired after two physicians attached to the fire department had certified that he was mentally and physically unfit to continue in the service, owing to injyries received in the course of his work. The court held that Burnett had never renounced his right to a pension, despite the fact that he had never applied for it. His Lordship also decided that he was a permanent employee of the city within the terms of by-law 543. SOON! "The time will come," speaker, "when women men's wages."
