A. Kelly Upset on the County Road CAR SKIDDED ON NEW PAVEMENT Ba] Lady Passengers Have Cuts and Bruises Necessitating Medical Attention--Car Badly Wrecked Four Oshawa people narrowly escaped serious injury or death when the car in which they were riding upset on the new Bowman. ville-Burketon pavement, a short distance north of Enniskillen, last night. The car, which was driven by H. A. Kelly, 79 Queen Street, was travelling south on the highway when another auto, driven by H. Mitchell, also of Oshawa, attempt- ed to pass it. Mitchell swerved too far over to his left side of the road, his left wheels got caught on the loose gravel shoulder and in attempting to get on to the pavement again, his car lurched suddenly to the right and side- swiped the other machine. The farce of the impact was such that the Kelly car swerved almost completely around and upset on the pavement with a loud crash. Mrs. Kelly, who was riding in the rear seat, sustained cuts and bruises about the face and neck, while Mrs. Stanley Moffat, of North Oshawa, who was also rid- ing in the rear, was injured about the hip. The driver and Mr. Mot- fat, who were in the front seat, escaped unscathed. The top of the car was smashed in and the body badly wrecked. Outside of a smashed fender, the other auto was not damaged and the driver was unhurt, The injured people were brought to Oshawa where they re- ceived medical attention. Mrs. Kelly is confined to her home un- der the care of Dr. F. J. Donevan but her injuries are not consider- ed serious. SONG SERVIGE INLOCAL CHURCH Inspiring Program In Sim- coe Street Church Last Night Varied, pleasing and well-bal- anced was the program which was given in the special service of song at Simcoe Street United Church last night. The music was under the direction of Mrs. R. A. Holden, acting organist and much credit is due to all who took part. The service was in charge of Rev. J, 8. I. Wilson and a large congregation was present, "Evening and Morning," a dou- 'ble quartette selection by Sir Her- bert Oakley, was rendered with pleasing tonal quality and expres- sion by Miss Leah Garrow and Miss Ruth Lander, sopranos; Miss 'Jean Keddie and Mrs. J, Kilgour, altos; R. H. Holden and J. K. Kil gour- tenors; R. A. Holden and J. Holden, bass. Misses Vida and Sybil Langmaid sang a fine selec- tion "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" by Dudley Buck and were follow- ed by George E. Fleming whose baritone solo 'Fear Ye Not O Israel" was much appreciated. As an offertory organ number Mrs. Holden played a favorite se- lection '"The Old Refrain." = The organ and piano were then heard with great effectiveness in the number "In a Monastery Garden" with Mrs, Holden at the organ and Mrs. George Fleming at the piano. A trio including Miss Leah Gar- row, Miss Jean Keddie and Mrs. Alex. Fisher sang very nicely the number "O Loving Father" by Teresa Del Riego. A selection by the Holden Male Quartet was also much enjoyed, the musical pro- 'gram being completed when Mrs, Alex. Fisher sang in clear soprano voice the solo "Abide With Me" by Liddle, being ably accompanied by Mrs. Fleming at the piano and by Mrs. Holden at the organ. A brief but interesting address 'was given by Rev. Mr, Wilson on #The Influence of Music." Music, he said, may uplift, it may soothe or stimulate. There is alho mu- sic, be stated, which would influ- ence people to give themselves over to abandon. It should be the aim of everyone, he said, to iia a farte only for that wis sic c inspiring and appea to our noblest ideals, JELLIGOES ARE IN MONTREAL Plans Interrupted Through Daughter's Serious Operation --r ah Montreal, Ahg.; 3. -- Lady Gwendolyn Jellicoe, eldest daugh- ter of Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe, was operated nn success- fully at the Royal Victoria Hos- pital here yesterday following the attack of intestinal obstruc- tion. The illness of Lady Gwandolyn developed during the voyage, with her parents and her brother, Vis- count Brocas, from England to Mcntreal.

The throng tumbered only 14,000 fewer than on the same day of the record 1929 Fair. With Friday's record opening day attendance of 82,000 this puts the Canadian National Exhi"ition 62,000 ahead of 1930, and seems to justify President Sam Harris's grediction of a 1931 Exhibition "bigger than ever." Certainly there is no "depression" at the Big Fair, and this gglendid show: ing may be the first indication of the passing of the "bal times" tevling, which, moré than any other single tactor, is gaid to pro- long periods of ecoupmlg onrest, KINSEN HOSTS 70 BIG FAMILY Wards of Children's Aid Enjoyed Outing Yesterday The members of the Oshawa Kinsmen's Club, with the assistance of their wives and several public- spirited citizens who gave of their time and efforts to make the occa- sion a success, entertained about forty children from the Children's Aid Shelter on Sunday when a din- ner and field day were enjoyed at the Cream of Barley Camp in Bow- manville. 5 The members of the club, with about twelve cars, picked up the children and their attendants at the Shelter at about eleven o'clock, parading along King Street and out to Bowmanville.

L. Wil- son, did his bit to make the occa- sion a most memorable one, Miss Colver, Superintendent of the Shelter, speaking to The Times this morning, stated that the chil- dren had "a glorious time", and ex- pressed the appreciation of the Children's Aid Socicty for the work of the Kinsmen and their wives, "The children all went to bed quite early tired out but thoroughly contented and happy," said Miss Colver, "all they can talk about now, of course, 1s their trip."

CHINESE TRY 70 GOLLEGT FACTS Report Figures of Dead and Homeless Through Disaster (By C n Press) Shanghai, China, Aug. 31.-- While authorities sought today to pierce the veil: uncertainty that cloaked the flood situation in Northern Kiangsu Province, another area placed its dead at 250,000 and its destitute home- less at 500,000.

This output at the rate of 136 cars a day was 40 per cent. under the 228 cars per day in June as compared with a daily average of 329 cars in July, 1930. Compari- son of this month's figures with d2ta for the previous month shows that passenger cars drop- ped to 3,151 from 5,583 and trucks to 1,069 from 1,252. The Burgau of Statistics index number of motor car production, which is adjusted for seasonal "riation and expraessed as a per- centage of the long term trend de- armined frem the period 1919 to 1928 inclusive, reached the low r any month of this year when t re~istered 25 per cent of nor- al in July. Customs' records for the month under review showed that 383 cars were imported into Canada "nd that 1,009 cars were exported during the period. Figures for the first seven months of this year chowed total imports at 7,941 cars and exports at 11,460 cars as compared with Imports of 18,020 cars and exports of 27,383 cars during the corresponding period of last year.

The number of new carg made available or use in this country during the Seven months ending July 31, 1931, talled 68,350 cars as hive with 111,676 cars in the first sev- en months of 1930. i ALL READY FOR SCHOOL TO OPEN Changes in Public School Staff, One at St. Gregory's No School bells will ring out again tomorrow morning at 8.45 o'clock Tomorrow marks the opening of Ushawa's public schools, St. Gregory's Separate School and the Osbawa Collegiate and Vocation- al Institute after the long sum- mer vacation. With mingled feelings some 5,000 Oshawa boys and girls are watching the inevi- table approach of an eventful day. The enrolment at Oshawa's public schools when school closed for the summer holidays last June stood at 3,388 pupils, C, F. Can- on. inspector of Oshawa pubne schools, informed The Times ue day. This number may be exceed. ed when all the pupils, including the tiny tots who are beginning school for the first time, have registered within the next few cays, Inspector Cannon intimated. The promotion of pupils to higher grades and the registra- tion of new students will provide a busy day for principals and teachers. Outside of learning the names of the new text books which they must purchase, the first da; at school will entail little work for the boys and girls them- sclves. Although two of last terms teachers are .leaving the city. there will actually be no chauges in the tearhing staff of te public schools, The Times learned. Ir- win Warder, of South Simcoe Street School, has secured a new position in Toronto while Miss Stepenson of North Simcoe Street School, has also left. Their places however will be taken by Miss Ada Kelly, who returns after one year's leave of absence which she spent as a student at Toronto Urlversity, and by Miss Florence Hawkes, who was given leave of absence on account of illness. There is no change to be made in the teaching staff of St. Greg- ory's Separate School while it is expected that there will be sever. al new faces on the 0. C. & V.

Dr. James B. Moore Died at His Home Near Simcoe Simcoe, Aug. 31.--Rev. James B. Moore, dually distinguished as the oldest minister in the Baptist denomination of Canada and as probably the only survivor of Can- adian nationality who participat- ed in the American Civil War, died at his home in the Village of Waterford early Saturday morn- ing in his ninetieth year. He had been stricken with a paralytic stroke about two weeks ago and his condition had gradually be- come worse. Lived Strenuous Life Rev. Dr. Moore was known to thousands throughout old Ontar- fo, having occupied the pulpit in practically every Baptist church in the Province on one or more occasions. He had served nearly seventy years as a minister of the Gospel, and even during the past year had preached on several oc- casions and officiated at funerals. He enjoyed remarkable health for a man who had lived a busy, stren uous life. Elder Moore, as he was more familiarly known, was born on a farm near Burgessville in Oxford County. Ag a youth of 17 years he left home to obtain an education preparatory to entering ministry. Fate directed his steps to the United States, and when the Civil War broke out he enlisted, being selected as an aide de camp to General Kearney with the army of the Potomac in Virginia. He saw his fierce fighting year in the army, and then his father obtain- ed his discharge and he returned home to enter Woodstock College. First Charge In Pickering His first charge wag in Picker- ing Township, Ontario County, where he preached for several years. He became an evangelist for a time, and then resumed the pulpit at Tillsonburg, Browns_ ville, Blenheim, Delhi and Water. ford, successively. For the past twelve years, Eld- er Moore had made his winter home in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he was permanent chaplain of the Canadian Association of the Three-Quarter Century Club, comprising over 300 members, all of whom were over 75 years of age, of the Grand Army of the Re- public, which included forty Civil War veterans. His genial nature and winning personality made him a popular figure there. William H, Moore, M.P., for Ontario County, and former Chairman of the Advisory Tariff Doard at Ottawa, is a son of the deceased.

DEDICATION SER SERVICES FOR GRACE LUTHERAN WERE HELD SUNDAY Y Succontul " Outcome of Three Years of Work and Effort Celebrated by Congregation in Beautis ful New Building DOCTRINE BASED ON TEACHING OF BIBLE Speakers Emphasized Fact That Buildings Are Sec- ondary in Religious Efforts -- Inspiring Ser- "vices With titting dignity and solemnity and in services char- acterized by joy and thanksgiv- ing the new Grace Lutheran Church, at 150 Albert street, was formally opened and dedicated yesterday. Three special services were held during the day and were attended by large congre- gations, many visitors being pres- ent from Lutheran congregations in other cities. The dedication of the new church culminates three years of earnest effort and sac ritice upon the part of the pastor and congregation. Although not a large edifice the new church is a solidly built structure with an air of simple dignity and beauty. Its interior appointments are excellent and are conducive to a spirit of reve erence and worship. Morning Service At the morning service thé building was dedicated to the glory of God, to the preaching of" His Word, and to the welfare of mankind, by the Rev. A, C, Hahn, pastor of the local congregation. The pulpit was then occupied by the Rev. Ernst Hahn of Toronto. A very encouraging message was ably presented by the speaker; pointing out the many unpossess- ed possessions that might be ag~ quired for the Lord. His text re- ferred to the ancient city of Ra- moht-Gilead, how it belonged to the kingdom of Isreal, but was not possessed by people. Mr. and Mrs, C. F. Schoenau sang, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul', in duet arrangement and Miss Leah Garrow also sang a beauti= ful solo. Rev, Malinsky Speaks The opening of any church of God is more than reason for joy and thanksgiving, declared Rev. F. Malinsky, of Elmira, who was the special speaker at the after noon service. Man, he said, had many things for which he could be thankful but too often man was not grateful for the won- derful spiritual gifts God has bestowed upon him, The congregation of Grace Lutheran Churck might well be proud of its accomplishment in building a new church, Rev, Mr. Malinsky emphasized. The physi cal features, a good building, comfortable seats, a fine pulpit and altar, a Sunday school aus ditorium, a room « where the activities of the young people and women's organizations might be centred, these things alone were sufficient cause for grati- tude. "But a church must be more than mere brick and stone," the pastor declared. "It must be & place where men and women may join in reverent worship, whera God's word may be preached, warning sinners of the hopeless ness of sin and telling them of (Continued on page 3) WEATHER Probabilities -- Moderate winds; fair and cool.
