ORMISTON DAILY TIMES WHITBY GIRLS WON AND 0ST Put Up Good Battle " Against Softball Team "From Toronto Be ---------- Softball fans in Whitby were giv- en two splendid exhibitions of the popular summer pastime on Satur- day, when the Royals played after- noon et evening games with the Canadian Daughters' intermediate team of Toronto. Although they 'were able to win the evening game the Whitby team should have won both ends of the day's bill from their opponents. As it was they were only nosed out in afternoon game 12 to 11 and but for an over- 'run base when two were out and two on base in the last inning might have won the game. In the evening game the Royals won out 19 to 15, In the afternoon game Whitby off on the wrong foot and al- td Canadian Daughters five runs In the first inning. However, not "to be denied they came back in the innings following and took the lead in the fifth inning by two runs. They were not able to hold this and their opponents by scoring three runs in the sixth again went into . the lead and held the Royals score- less in the two remaining innings. Batteries-- Whitby: Dolly Neskel and Catharine Shaunnessy. In the evening game the visitors took an early lead of five runs in the first inning for the second time and by adding two runs in the sec- ond and six in the fifth looked to be well on the way to victory but . the Royals who had heen held to a of four runs went to bat in the fifth and pounded out six runs and make the game close. In their next innings the Royals again had their batting eye and got another sig runs to go into the lead. In the seventh and last innings Whitby got three more runs and held the visit- ors to two. The first two pitchers for Cana- dian Daughters in the evening game were driven from the box by vic- jous assaults and the visitors were forced to place the afternoon pit- r in the box for the second time the day and she found it too much of a task to stem the tide of victory that was against her.

It seemed as though every family in Toronto were intent upon getting away from the heat and noise of the city and getting a breath of coun- try air. The stream of traffic be- gan shortly after the dinner hour on Saturday afternoon and con- tinued until, late Sunday night with the only let ups during the early hours of Sunday morning. On Sunday night there Was a constant stream of cars in both directions through the town. Such was the volume of traffic that the highest speed obtainable between Oshawa and Whitby was in the neighborhood of twenty miles an hour, West of Whitby the traffic problem was aggravated by the heavy traffic that converged into the main highway from the Lind- say road. One instance of the heavy traffic was cited by an American tourist on Sunday 'afternoon, who had travelled from Boston, Mass- achusetts and told the press that he had neyer even in his own country seen such traffic as was on highway No. 2 on Sunday af- ternoon. He was highly discour- aged, in fact, over the progress fie had made from Toronto, and was ready to stop for the day early in the afternoon.

UNEMPLOYED HELD MEETING A big mass meeting of the un- employed in this city was held on Saturday evening in the audi- torium of Centre street school. The hall was erowded for ths oc- cesion, the meeting being ad- dressed by their own local lead- ers and out-of-town representa- tives of the National Unemployed LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS YOUNG BOY (Continued from page 1) carried a billy can full or waer." Mr. Mansell and Thomas E. Gray, also of Toronto, his guest, raced over to ind the three prone on the ground while the palls were still standing upright--the handle of one twisted by the bolt. Gray picked up Robert Osborne and took him on the verandah of Mr, Bilton, where he worked over him for 15 minutes or more. All the while Mr. Mansell was aiding in reviving the boy's father, and Ted Sutherland was rallying from his dazed condition. Desenyt Cottages Half the occupants of the cot- ages had gone home--depressed by the tragic death of one of their neighbor's boys--a few hours after the tragedy. The storm clouds--black and threatening--appeared on the horizon shortly before five o'clock, and within a few minutes the rain was falling in torrents. A. Munroe, proprietor of the Sunset Inn, south of the scene of the fatality, reported that heavy hailstones accompanied the teem- ing rain for a few minutes. His building shook, he stated, about the same time as the vivid flash of lightning exacted its toll, While they were carrying the water in pails at the time--ob- vious conductors of the electric bolts--was explained last night by Ted Sutherland, as he sat at his home, still somewhat shaken. "The sun was coming out and it looked as though the storm was over when we decided to go for it,"' he assured his mother, The sudden flash and clap of thunder appeared to shake the cottage of Mrs. Robert Stewart, so violently that she ran next door to the Bilton home, She saw Mr. Osborne rolling in the ditch. "lI was walking along just a pace behind Mr. Osborne and his son when I was knocked down," stated Ted Sutherland, last night, "One of Robert's shoes was rip- ped from his foot while the other fell off when he was struck to the ground, After I had recovered I ran to the highway and stopped a traffic officer who rushed to get Dr, Pearson, F "The flash seemed to come from the northwest," he related. "Just before we reached the well, a sharp flash hovered over the pump handle." Jack Osborne, aged 12, Rob- ert's brother, was grief-stricken last night. When the car carrying Robert Osborne reached Dunbarton it was found that Dr. Pearson had left for the scene and they were forced to proceed to Pickering. They sped on to the home of Dr. C. BE. Cartwright of Pickering, but the boy died en route. Dr. Cartwright decided that un- der the circumstances an inquest was unnecessary, ° SEEKS RIGHT TO DEVELOP POWER ON ST.

Lowest Too to i Td, ir 5 Lows [ Bowmanville Daily Times Representative's Phone No. 53 CLOSING SESSION OF CHAUTAUQUA Presentation of Popular Comedy Brought Pro- grams to an End DN The Canadian Chautauqua con- tinued its successful five day run in Bowmanville on Saturday. In the afternoon Sue Hastings and her Marionettes delighted a large audi- ence of children and adults too, when Peter Rabbit at the wishing well was presented. From the time the miniature curtains rose and Jerry, and little puppet made the announcements the audience sat breathless as the fairy tale was un- folded. The puppets were gorge- ously costumed and they moved with human agility. Three little sketches at the end of the play also proved a great delight to the chil- dren. In the evening the big tent was again filled for the presentation of the popular comedy "Skidding". The play was packed with rich comedy and wholesome humor and its mer- ry appeal kept the audience in con- stant mirth throughout two solid hours. The play is the story of an American family headed by Judge Hardy and proinent figure in local politics and for twenty years a dis- trict judge, The story concerns his re-election when the political mac- hine is endeavoring to oust him from office and install a bunch of crooks. Marion the youngest daugh- ter has been to college and. has made a particular study of politics. On her return she finds that her father's friends' had deserted him and at the nomination meeting he is left without a speaker in his be- half. Marion gives an impassioned speech for her father which wins for her the nomination for the leo- islature. The party machine breaks down at the critical time and in- stead of a nomination for the dis- trict court Judge Hardy receives the namination- for the supreme court. Both are elected. Of course there is a love story in the play too. Marion is madly in love "with a young aristocrat from the east, Wayne Trent who objects to. pol- itics for women. Many quarrels en- sue between the young lovers and the nomination of Marion for the legislature appears to be the last straw that breaks up a happy love story. At the last, however, Trent concedes and the couple are mar- ried, to live as in all of these stories happily ever after. The various parts in play were faithfully reeval- cd and especially those of Ma and Pa Hardy. The domestic scenes with the political background were high- ly enjoyable for their uproarious humor and truth to life. Today is the final day of Chau- tauqua. This afternoon the Lucille Elmore Revue Company will pre- sent their production "An After- noon in the Land of Make Believe" and in the evening they will appear again with John Bockewitz as the feature. The latter is an exception- ally clever chalk artist, and he car- ries on a continual line of delightful patter during his presentation, FORMER MAYOR OF PORT HOPE DIES Port Hope, July 20. -- Former Mayor of Port Hope and promin- ent citizen, Thomas B, Chalk, died Sunday at the f#fiflly residence' here in his '73rd year, He had been ill for several weeks, and death was due to heart disease.

CRANFIELD South End Garage 650 Simcoe St. South', What a World of Grief It Saves You We know a seed house that proves each season's crop of seeds in their own trial gardens before they offer them to the public. Flowers and vegetables growm from these seeds must measure up to definite standards, or else the entire crops from which the samples were taken are burned. We know a manufacturer of dry batteries who tested a new product two years before he sold a single battery to a single dealer. We know a manufacturer of an antifreeze solution for automobile radiators who spent two years testing his product under all conditions before he said a word in advertising about the merits of his goods. We know a manufacturer of household pharmaceutical products whose self. imposed standard of purity and efficacy is even higher than that laid down by the British Pharmacopaeia and the National Formulary. If we mentioned their names you would recognize them immediately. You probably would say, "I plant those seeds," "I use that battery," 'I use that anti-freeze," "My medicine cabinet contains those products." The four instances cited are typical of every reliable manufacturer in Canada, Millions of dollars are spent annually to develop, to improve, to standardize, and to take the guesswork out of merchandise. Other millions of dollars are spent in advertising to tell you about them. All of which is to say that in putting your trust in advertised merchandise you * save yourself the bother, the expense, the disappointment -- yes the dan« ger--of experimenting and discovering for yourself which make of soap, breakfast food, radio tubes, lingerie, gasoline, tea, electrical device, stations ery--or what-not--gives you the most service for your money.
