OBSERVERS CLAIM SERPENT STORY [5 EXAGGERATED (Continued from page 1) statements regarding it had been greatly exaggerated by the To- ronto newspapers yesterday af- ternoon, Not a Sea Serpent "It wasn't a sea serpent by any means,' said Rhue, "hut it cer- tainly was some kind of a big fish, and I would have liked to see it properly. The foam it was causing on the water prevented us seeing it all, but it looked a tremendous size." His further remarks, however, indicated tha!

Ci : OSHAWA Dewland Ltd. his appreciation of the huge fish was much different from what wae reported in the Toronto uewspapers, : x Mr. and Mrs. Todd, however, were. emphatic as to the enor- mous size of the fish, and 'he fact that it had a black head, and they were anxiously watching the lake to see if it would make an other appearance last night, Mr. Todd was anxious to have an op- pcrtunity of getting to closer quarters with it, but there waa little sign of anything unusual on the placid waters of the laka. A report that the sea m.in'er had been seen again on Sunday evening was: current along the lake shore, but no one could be found who had seen ganythiiig that looked like a sea serpent, al- 'though not a little excitement wag created by the watchers on the beach, eager to see the mcn- ster. The crew at the pumping sta- tion, near which the feast is sup- posed to have made its appear ance, saw nothing of it, and 2niy heard Rhue's version of what he had seen. The police authorities had heen notified by Rhue that there was some unusual beast out in the lake, but they were in- clined to take the report as a joke, and none of the police of- ficers saw anything unusual. Johnny Walker Laughs Johnny Walker, whose mara- thon swimmers' camp is located not far from where the monster is said to have been seen, laugh- ed long and loudly when he heard the story. He had seen nothing of it, nor was he a bit afraid that there was any founda- tion for the report, "You can just tell the people" he said, "that what they saw was probably George Young try- ing out his speed in the water. At anyrate, it will take more than a story of this kind to make me and my swimmers stay out of the water." And fifteen minutes la- ter l® and the members of his camp were heading out into the lake, six swimmers heating the water with powerful strokes, in Ate very direction from which the sea serpent is supposed to heve come. Another Theory Various theories as to what caused the disturbance in the wa- ter have been put forward, and the one which has found most favor is that a school of carp had pessed along the lakefront, jump- ing and splashing in the water, their dark bodies giving the im. pression of a single fish of enor- mous size stirring up a great dea! of foam. Whether or not this is the cor- reet explanation, the interest cre- ated by the report was apoarent at the lake front last night, ae geores of people peered out over tre waters, eager for a glimyse of Oshawa's "Ogopogo." As further proof that the To- ronto papers' stories were exag- gerated, The Times has received the following letter from a local man who was on the beach at the time, and saw the whole incident, but who wishes his name with- held froth publication: -- "I was much amused by great write up in the Toronto Telegram -re Oshawa's 'Sea Serpent." Per- baps a local version would be of iuterest. : "lI happened to he strolling along the lake shore in the vicin- ity of the pumping station last Saturday evening, when a camper came up and pointing to an ob- ject in the water asked me if I tnought it was a log "I glanced where he indicated and to my surprise I sew what appeared to me, to be a large fish about ten feat long, swim- ming about 100 ft. from the shore. "We pointed the object out to other campers, one of whom took a shot at it with a rifle. The reason sald shot did not take effect, was the simple reason that it never struck the nsn. About 10 persons, including my- self followed the fish for about a mile, when it disappeared froin view. - Regarding the 30 or 40 bathers who started to scream and yell as they raced for the beach. By actual count there were 8 bathers, they left the wa- ter without any excitement what- ever. "Regarding the eyes being three inches in diameter, and a huge black head like an alligator ot least two feet across, these statements seem to be the yprod- vet of a very vivid imagination."

One of these fine days the Government is going to vote the money to help the un- employed in this province and I am going to be one of the first' mayors in Premier Henry's office claiming Oshawa's grant. , "We already have a specific policy of what work we are going to undertake. We are going to build a Sewage Disposal Plant," sald the Mayor. "In 1926 three members of the: Provincial Gov- ernment advised us that if we did not build such a plant then they would do it themselves and charge the cost up to this eity. "That is the paramount under- taking that faces this city and we cannot do it without a city engineer, a real city engineer, One that will come and tell us what to do and how to do it, not one that we have to tell and in- struct. "This is a big undertaking, thQ building of such a plant. Tt wil cost a lot of money, five or six hundred thousand dollars. At the present time, in considering filling the position of city engi- neer, we are holding Oshawa's fu- ture in our hands, and I am going to vote for a man big enough for the job," said Mayor Marks. The majority of the Aldermen spoke in favor 3 one or the other of'the two candidates, those sup: porting Mr. Godeike in the debate being Aldermen Morris, E, Jack- son, Macdonald, Boddy, Caunt, 'Waterous and Mayor Marks, while those who spoke in favor of the local applicant were Aldermen Hyman, 8.

Hyman put forward the sug- gestion in the form of an amend- ment seconded by Ald. Keel, both these Aldermen having veted in committee against the appoint- ment of Mr. Godeike, that the ap- pointment be made unanimous. This amendment, however, did not meet with unanious approval, as previously stated, the final motion, sponsored by Aldermen W. Boddy and E.

But then she told Sam yeaterday that the house was as much Phil's as ours." "What can we do, Gail? We can't go on like this." "I don't know what we can do. Phil told me that the cheapest place he could move to, with the three children--and I dare say ape other coming--" "Oh, Gail, no!" : "Well, I wouldn't be one bit sur- prised. He told me that the only |decent places he (could find ware sixty and seventy-five, and that he simply couldn't pay it. They ran up Muller's, you know, when Lily's Iclothes were all burned up. And now that Lily is getting Douning from her people--I suppose P can't afford it. We never had any too much, as it was, and Phil has simply added four more persons to the list.

But when I hear a {thing such as her telling Sam that {Phil has as much right in the house as we have--" Then Gail added very low, "Some thing rises up in my very soul and I feel that I could murder her!" Lily was a great worker. The pans and dishes used in preparing dinner were clean and dry and put away again almost before Gail laid them down. Humbly, quickly, will- Angly, Lily did what she could. | But conversation at dinner was constrained. Edith, who had fab- ricated an important errand for herself immediately upon hearing the news, came back late and was 'white and nervous. Phil was bland- ly absorbed in trying to catch Lily's fingers, to meet her eyes with his fond look. to share with the {family his mood of bliss. Every- thing was lovely so far as Phil could see. Sam had been smitten dumb and contributed nothing Galil was glad when the queer meal was over and she could escape with Edith to murmur cautiously in the kitchen while Phil and Lily shep- herded the little boys upstairs. "Gall, have we anything Dan could use for a nightgown? The other two are using mine, and I don't seem to have any more." "Phil, I was thinking," Gail sald steadily, gently, "it's Saturday night and MuHer's will be open until ten. You and Lily really ought to walk down there and get ihe boys overalls and nightgowns, and get Lily a hat--" There was more of this. Preseat- ly, rather awkwardly and shyly, hil kissed her. "You're awfully decent this, Gail." "It doesn't mean that I feel es- pecially cheerful, Phil," she could- n't help saying, suddenly pressed beyond bearing. "Why not?" he asked with the amazement of the man in love. Gall was sorry she had said so much when she saw the change in his face. She had a second in which to wish that she had sense enough sometimes to keep her mouth shut before she was carried on passion ately, reluctantly: "Well-- Edith and I aren't exactly rejoicing, Phil.

She carried an armful of books into her room, established herself reading comfortably in bed. Pail and Lily had not come in yet.
