Since the war there has arisen a paid aggregation opposed to law and order in our community. There are a few trying to take ad- vantage of unemployment to under- mine constituted authority and we would ask you, in your deliberations at this convention, to take these things into consideration. To help those designated as being in au- thority, and if necessary have these agitators picked up on our streets and sent back to the country from which they came and to which they belong." The Mayor expressed the hope that the stay of the delegates would be a pleasant and profitable one, vention would be of benefit to the organization. The Province Of Ontario The toast to the province was briefly proposed by Frank L. Mason who referred to Ontario as "the banner province of the banner Do- minion within the British Empire." He called attention to the fact that Ontario has "the greatest pub- lic ownership project in the world," referring to the Hydro-Electric sys- tem, great mineral, pulp, and agri- cultural products. He also gave figures in propf of the outstanding manufactured products in the prov- ince stating "and the City of Osh- awa was the third largest producer." He stated that the people of On- tario are proud of its social and wel- fare laws, "and justly proud of their province." y Premier George S.

There are to be five festival ser- vices, three on Sunday, and two during the week following. Five out-of-town Lutheran ministers will preach the sermons. At the Ladies' Aid meeting, held at the home of Mrs. A, Crou- ter, 500 King St. E.,, the mem- bers of the Society divided the work of serving two meals to the visitors on Sunday. These meals will be served in the Sun- Gay School auditorium in the hagsement of the church. Accord ing to the preparations, a hundred guests might well be taken care of at these meals. The new church building, Albert St., is designed to seat 108 people in the pews. there is space for placing addi tional chairs. The interior pre sents a moet pleasing appearance, The ceiling of the main auditori- um appears especially attractive, being made of small blocks of ce- lotex, so that it resembles a ceil- ing of stone blocks. The walls harmonize with the ceiling, being done in rough finish plaster, Many visitors have admired the furniture and the floor of the church. The highly polished birch floor adds a touch of rug- gedness. Grace Lutheran Church Is a member of the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other States, The. founders of this synod emi- grated from Germany about a hundreq years ago, in order 'to worship according to the dictates of their conscience, and not be encumbered by governmental re- strictions. These founders em- barked in three vessels, and enter- ed the North American continent by way of the Mississippi River. They went upstream as far as the State of Missouri, where they at once established themselves in- to a prosperous pioneer settle ment. Before they had complet- ed their own homes, they laid up a log cabin building to be used as a school of higher education. This log cabin was called Concordia College. The original log cabin became the mother institution of an ex: panded educational system of the Lutheran Church. At the pres- ent time the system includes two Seminaries for the education of ministers, and seventeen Concor- dia Colleges. One of these col- leges is located in Edmonton, Al, berta. Though the Missouri Sy- nod was founded in the central States, it is now represented on every continent of the globe. The language used in the Lu- thern churches is in every case decided by the congregations. In some of the older congregations services are conducted both in German and English. The con- gregation in Oshawa, however, be- ing of comparatively recent estab- lishment, uses the English lan- guage exclusively, since the Ger- man language would not be un- derstood.

Included in those coming are the following whose names aré bywords in To- ronto softball, Harold Gallander, Nig Eisen, Myer Miller, Dummy Devore and Woody Simon. These lads have been brought up from youth by Bob Abate, who is considered the finest boys' coach in Toronto. For many years he has had direct charge of the Elizabeth Street playground in one of the so called tough parts of the city. It has been since Bob took charge of organized sports in the section that things there have improved and from that playground comes many cham- pion teams each year in softball, basketball and hockey, Many in town will remember Bob Abate fcr the unfortunate accident he got into east of the town here, when he was taking his '"'Lizzie" bantams to Peter- borough to take part in the play- offs.

STABBING AFFRAY AIRED IN COURT Crown Placed Evidence for Prosecution in Serious Charge The police court was occupied for several hours this morning hearing the case against Harry Yourkevich, who wag charged with doing bodily harm to Joseph Jackson and Leslie Knight on August 2, when it is alleged he stabbed them in the back during an altercation outside his home. The court was only able to hear the crown's case this morning while the case for the defense will be heard on Tuesday, Sep- tember 1, D. A. J. Swanson, counsel for the defense intimated that he intended to call witnesses six of whom he would question at some length. In the case this morning it was adduced that the two young men who were injured in the affray, visited the Yourkewich home during the afternoon and purchased three bottles of beer which were consumed on the eleven | the house one of the three be- came involved in a yuarrel with a man in the house. Later in the day, it was revealed, the three men 'again visited the house in company with several] compan- ions. On rapping at the door it was answered by a woman who called Yourkevich. He came out and asked why they were mak- ing trouble for him. After this it was claimed Yourkevich grap- pled with Joe Jackson, both fall- ing over the verandah. In the scuffle which followed Jackson was stabbed in the back and arm, while Knight who went to his assistance was stabbed in the back. The two young men were attended by Dr. McKibbon and later taken to the hospital where they were confined until the next day, Evidence was given for the Crown by the group who were at the scene of the affray but Alex Hickey was the only one of the group who actually saw Yourke- vich strike with a knife. All the others claimed they did not see a knife in his hands. All the wit- nesses denied that any of the group at the house was carrying a revolver, or that there had been any intention of making a scene. In commenting Magistrate Creighton told the witnesses, who appeared this morning, that jt was a sad thing to have boys of their age con- ducting themselves in such a manner as was revealed in the evidence. He warned them that they would do well to avoid such conduct and asserted that if they ever appeared in court again they would be given slight con- sideration due to their previous | record. on the case, WILL FIGHT TO FINISH London, Eng., Aug. 28.--Rt. | Hon, Philip Snowden, Chancel- | lor of the Exchequer, announced today he would fight to a finish with the non partisan ministry, and that he would not seek re | election at the next general f Section, He said his decision was made four months ago.
