In addition to the casua] visit. ors and private picnic parties,' however, it is expected that some large picnic will be held at Lake- view Park on Monday, and they will help to swell the crowd to unusual proportions, There are « mo outstdnding sports attractions in the city on Monday, so it is likely that a large number of people will go to Cannington, where there is to be a field day 'and community picnic.

Up to this morning, A. H.

This means that the trans- portation' facilities will be crowd- ed to capacity, and that Oshawa will have a splendid representa- tion in the veterans' parade which will set the picnic program in motion.

At the height of the afternoon, it is true, there has not. been much swimming, for the tank has been so crowded that swimming has been impossible, but nevertheless, the children are find- ing the pool a wondertul thing for them, a place where they can find reiief from the heat, and where Jae can bathe and swim in wateg/of 3 comfortable temperature, danger and under proper O thousand children have been count- ed in the swimming pool and on the playground at one time. This is a remarkable record, and it shows that the Rotary Club was right when it decided that equipment of this kind was a necessity for the city of Oshawa, t should not be imagined that the swimming pool in itself consti- tutes the only new' feature of the park, There is the factor of super- vision of both swimming and play, and this is important. Over and aboye that, however, there is a nursing and care service which is very valuable. Miss Batte, the nurse' in charge of the dressing rooms in the basement of Rotary Hall, and who takes care of any who require first aid attention, has undertaken an important service for the children. As far as is possible, every child is weighed before going into the water. The record of the weights, combined with ages, , en- ables the grouping of the children, for purposes of games and athletics, mto junior, intermediate and senior. It does more than this. It enables Miss Batte to make a note of those children who are under-nourished, and this information is passed on to the proper health authorities for consideration as to what can be done to raise the standard of these children. Miss Batte, of course, al- so has her little hospital for first aid, and she usually has one or two calls a day to take care of cut feet, stubbed toes, bruised knees and other little hurts which the children acquire in the course of their play. The other day it was observed that the children not only go to Miss Batte when any mishap of this kind occurs, .but 'also come back day af- ter day to have their wounds re- Tress) i in proper fashion. It is well worth while to go down to the park any afternoon when the weather is a trifle warm to see the children at play in the water and around the playground. Youthful energy, in all the activities of the park, finds a healthy and wholesome outlet, and much good is being ac- complished by the supervisors in their organization of games and leagues in the various classes. Lat- er on, it is hoped, there will be a demonstration 'and sports day, in the water and in the other sporting activities, and this should mark the high water point, for this season, of the splendid program which has been arranged for the children of the city at the Rotary Swimming Pool and Playground. Beauharnois Report is Adopted; Government to Take Over Project Ottawa, Aug. 1. -- Parliament to-night adopted, "on division' -- without a recorded vote and with- out 'amendment--the report of the Beauharnois investigating committee of the House of Com- mons, with all of its condemna- tion of senators, promoters and Government officials. Vocal demands for a royal com- mission to probe campaign funds failed to crystalize into the mov- ing of any amendment. Ir a sitting tense with expect- ancy, Rt, Hon. R, B.

Chief of Police Owen D. Friend had a friendly talk with the lead- ers of the men on Friday after- noon, pointing out to them that it was a punishable offence for them to have gone to the place where men were at work and act in such a manner as to cause their withdrawal from the job. The Chief agreed and admitted that the men who were responsible, were probably quite ignorant of the law governing such cases, and under those conditions had a good defence, but was firm in his stand that such action, or any interfer- ence with men who were willing and ready to work, would not be tolerated in the future, and that prompt action would be takem against offenders in this respect. Assurance Given The Chief was assured that in future any organized movement for interfering with men at work would be advised against as strongly as possible by the lead- ers of the men, who promised to make this clear at a meeting plan- (Continued on page 3) NEW YORK'S COMMENT New York, Aug. 1.--The New York Federal Reserve Bank, com- menting up on the announcement of a extension of. $250,000,000 credit in co-eperation with the Bank of France, to the Bank of England, explained today that in association with other Federal IRteserve Institutions it has agreed to purchase if requested up to the approximate equivalent of $125,- 000,000 of prime commercial bills from the Bank of England.

PARKER Challenges Him To Pro-| duce Telegram Which Is Basis of Charges Made Calling on W. R. P. Parker, vice-president of the Ontario Lib- eral Association, to produce im- mediately the telegram he claims he has in his possession, W. E. N. Sinclair, House leader of the Lib_ eral Party, issued a statement last night in which he said: "We can see who is trying to undermine and disrupt the provincial Liber- al party and the reasons for Mr. Parker's outbreak." The statement adds more fuel to the flame which has blazed dur- ing the past few days as the re- sult of a declaration by Mr. Park- er that Mr. Sinclair had advised Liberal members of the Legisla- ture to stay away from a lunch- eon at which association officials were to be present. Mr. Sinclair suggests that it is the desire of Mr, Parker to stage a public quar- rel at the association meeting in October. The statement reads: "Mr. W. R. P, Parker returns to the press to-day.

The second reading was carried without div- ision after the Liberals had vigor- ously attacked the measure. One objection raised by the Opposition was that it did not limit the amount that the Government might expend to meet such needs for relief as might develop. An. other wag that unemployment re- lief should not be provided for in the same bill as 'peace, order and good government." Right Hon. Mackenzie King led the attack on these provisions.

The spacious and bril- liantly lighted club house was greatly admired by all who were present, and the members of th= club were heartily congratulated by the various speakers at the opening ceremonies on their ini- tiative and enterprise in provid- ing so fine a club house by their own efforts. A feature of the pro- gram which preceded the open- ing ceremonies was a demontsra- tion of the fastest outdoor motar- boat in Canada by its owner, Don Wood, of Peterboro. This little boat, ing tr dous speed, flashed up and down the harbor channel and out into the lake, and attracted the admira- tion of a large gathering of spece tators. Following this demonstrae tion, refreshments were served bv members of the Oshawa » of Sea Scouts, who were pr t in uniform, and the official open- ceremony was conducted, with Brainard Carlyle, vice-commodore of the club, presiding over the function. Mr. Carlyle, in opening the proceedings, expressed the ap- preciation of the club for the large attendance of guests and expressed the hope that tLe suee cess of the opening was a good omen for the future of the club.
