SERVICES WERE «VERY INSPIRING: =: Simcoe Street United Church People Enjoyed Fine Sermons by Visit ing Pastor. Services at Simcoe Street Unit- ed Church yesterday were fea- tured by two fine sermons and splendid music, both morning and evening. "Strength and Beauty" was the subject id the acting-pas- tor, Rev. J. 8. I. Wilson, at the morning service, in which he pointed out that strength is first and beauty' second. Sound char- acter, earnest purpose and loyal- ty to high principles are very nec- essary if we are to live useful, Christian lives. Man is at his best, however, when strength is combined with besuty, when rug- ged character is softened by sym. pathy, kindness 'and love. The best example of strength and beauty is to be found in Jesus, he said, who wag strong and master- ful, yet so loving that he could go out of his way to restore a son to a widowed mother, to give sight to a blind man or bless a little child. Napoleon on the other hand was a man of strength whose lite was totally lacking in beauty, so much go, that he wasted coun- tries and ruined cities in _ the an island birth to an island Sqath, A se ction "The Me" the [Don | might be collected. : "The Times \ heen counted, M LEGIONNATRES HOLD SERVICES Veterans, Ladies and Scouts Took Part in Impressive Ceremonies For Decora: tion Day With a splendid parade of war veterans, members of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion, and Boy Scouts, the Oshawa branch of the Legion yesterday held its an- nual decoration day and memorial service, 'Favored with splendid weather conditions after a morning's rain, the veterans turned out in large numbers, and the parade made a very impressive appearance as the Legionaires and Boy Scouts march- ed through the streets, headed by the band ot the Ontario Regiment-- first to the Garden of the Unforgot- ten, and thence to the Union Cem- etery, where the memorial service pro er was held, the speaker being .

New Sea Serpent Story. Comes From Kingston they were so near to the serpent that they could not fail to get a good view of it. say, to the earlier published re- port, the serpent is not more than 30 feet long and' its color is nel- ther green nor orange, as report- ed, but a changing hue, as though it were d d from the chame- The new proof of the exist and appearance of the serpent is offered by the combined testimony of two such thoroughly depend- able professional men as Dr. R. R, MacGregor and Dr, Frank Ber- mingham, both of whom, with their hands over their hearts, de- clareito this great family journal that they saw the serpent with their own eyes ahd that it is all' that it has been described--and then some. It seemed that Dr, MacGregor and Dr. Bermingham, who are two of the foremost exponents of con- tract bridge in this neck of the woods, Were invited to a challenge game of contract by two American experts now summering in the Is- lands near Alexandria Bay. Taken down to the Bay in the palatial launch of one of the Americans they had their game (they say they won; and The Whig-Standard lets it go at that) and were re- turning home in the launch short. ly after midnight when, about two miles from the city, the helmsman suddenly swung his wheel hard a-port and with such violence that it nearly unseated the two King- stonians. Startled at the sudden move, they were even more start- led when the wheels-man called out in alarm and pointed excited- ly at a dark object in the water but a few feet away. The con- tract players who, so they say, were at the moment busy dividin their contract winnings, ceased al this to look in the direction indi- cated. And, lo and behold, there was The Sea Serpent, but a few yards away and apparently not in the least disturbed by the near presence of the launch. Indeed, the wheels-man declared, it was about to attack the Jwsneh h on 'when he out of the way and at the same time gave bis warning shout, Pressed to tell the - full story and to give a complete description of 'the monster, Dr, MacGregor and Dr, Bermingham explained that in the semi-darkness it was not possible to see as clearly as they had wished, but fortunately lon family. Thus when only the the serpent likewise showed only white; when the green of the hull the launch the serpent likewise turned green, while when the flashlight of the boat was turned on it was revealed in a combina- tion yellowish-golden hué. It bad but one eye, right in the middle of itg forehead, like the little girl with the little curl; and to balance this, as it were, it had two horns not merely a half foot long as has been reported, but much longer (probably two feet) and spread- ing like the prongs of an antler. In addition to fins, it had on either side (we-are still quoting Drs. Mc- Gregor and Bermingham) what looked to be wings, which had a habit of rising and falling as though influenced by a rising and falling tide--though there is no such thing as a tide in Lake On- tario. Probably, then, these dis- tinguislied professional gentle- men say, the rising and falling represented the breathing of the animal, the wings responding sympathetically to the inflation and deflation of the great crea- ture's lungs. All this time, while these high- ly technical observations were. be- ing made, the launch was drawing nearer to Kingston but, nothing daunted, the sea serpent deflantly followed in the wake of the launch, its long, sinuous body ser- pentining through the waters in wondrous fashion. . When, how- ever, the boat was about a half mile from the Yacht Club, the serpent suddenly stopped, 'gave a sort of party ure 2 a ce to disappear ith from sight, leaving the professionals to ponder upon the wonders of na- ture and the mysterious créatures that do inhabit this sphere, as well as to exclaim upon their own good fortune in being privileged to get sg near a view of this cele brated Serpent. Toronto, Aug. 10 -- Following a conference between Right Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minister of Can- ada, and members of the Ontario Cabinet on Saturday morning, Pre- mier Henry announced that consid- erable progress has been made to- ward formulating a definite policy | b for unempl oyuient relief by the co- operation. the two Governments, definite will be form- ulated hing. the next ten days, he ventured.

TORONTO AUTO RAN INTO TREE Car Carrying Eight Passen- gers Left the Road Near Orono--One Passenger in Hospital (Special to The Times) Orono, August 10--A serious ac- cident occurred at Brown's Corners, about one mile north of here, on Sunday afternnon when an auto- mobile from Toronto, carrying eight passengers, left the travelled road, crashed into a maple trée and was eventially brought to a standstill in field. From what can be learned of this occurrence it appears that one wheel of the car, which is believed to 'have gat a fast rate, left the paved road surface and struck the soft shoulder and as a result of this the driver lost control. The occupants of the car miracu- lously escaped serious injury, only one of them, a Mrs. Evans, of Tor- onto, being detained for treatment at the Bowmanville Hospital where three of their number were rushed for attendance to superficial wounds from flying glass. Mrs. Evans was reported from the hospital as suffering from lacera- tions and bruises, but having no in- juries of a very serious nature, 15 REGAPTURED NEAR NAPANEE Escaped From Preferred Class Penitentiary--Tra- velled About 35 Miles in 48 Hours Aug. 10. -- After being at liberty - since four o'clock Thursday afternoon, when he made his escape from the quarry at the preferred class penitentiary, Harlye Armbrust, aged twenty-one years, : serving tive years for robbery, was cap- tured about 6 o'clock' this morn- ing at Roblin, about 10 miles north of Napanee.

CONVENTION WAS GREAT SUCCESS Fire Chief Elliott and Chief R. MacKenzie, of Gen- eral Motors, Back From Shawinigan Falls The annual convention of Cana- dian fire chiefs was at once in- structive, interesting and enjoy- able in the opinion of Fire Chief W. R. Elliott, who with Fire Chief R. MacKenzie, of General Motors of Canada Ltd., has just returned from Shawinigan Falls, Que., which this year witnessed the annual gathering of fire de- partment heads from all parts of the Dominion. Fire Chief Elliott and Fire Chief MacKenzie motored to Shawinigan Falls together and made the return trip without encountering any serious difficul- ties. They found good roads along the whole route, although In Quebec, where many of the roads are of gravel, the dust was at times bothersome. One of the most interesting features of the convention was the demonstration which was held last Monday by Montreal's' fam- ous fire department for the spec- ial benefit of the convention dele- gates. The operation of the giant aerial ladders attracted Chief Elliott's attention in particular. "The French-Canadian people are very hospitable," Chiet EI- liott informed The Times, "and they entertained us at some won- derful banquets. Special banquets were held for our benefit not only at Shawinigan Falls but at Three Rivers and Grand Mere. There was something doing all the time." Chiet Elliott had high praise for Shawinigan Falls which he described as & progressive, well planned and beautiful little city. Its fire department was a revela- tion in modern equipment and the city, although {its population Is little over 15,000, boasts two moderz fire stations, BIG INTEREST IN WEDNESDAY Stow v dhe Horticultural Society Ex- pect Splendid Exhibits at Annual Event This Week ava, Hordioutbural Society in to be held in the Hotel Genosha banquet hall on , Wednesday, rd The directc looking forwa 'hibition rain of th served to ie oh oi " a to, ow, without ad 'admission ch opening at of the avcloly are to . splendid ex- lowers, the Dlg having ] Letock, ey, afternoon. will remain open until ten k at night. varietie, to tion. te he judging of | 1 Y Edward Shilling Sentenced x to Fourteen Days in Jail = When He Pleaded Guilty To Charge in City Police Court OTHER CAR OWNER ESCAPED INJURY John Cook, Sitting in Park- ed Car, Only Slightly Hurt -- Both Cars Care ried Seventy-Five Feet by Impact Following an accident on Rit= son Road South, Saturday night, in which two cars were badly smashed, Edward Shilling was ar- rested by Detective-Sergeant H.
