After Business Hours--Phone 359, REPRESENTATIVE---JAMES H, ORMISTON DAILY TIMES The new club house of the Whitby Bowling and Tennis Club which has been under construc- tion for some weeks, was formal- ly opened and placed in use at the annual Fall Tournament of the Bowling Club held on Wednesday afternoon.

To this an addition was but on the south side, the work heing cone very largely by voluntee: members of the Club who worked night and day to have the build- mg ready for the tournament Wednesday, Over twenty rinks wer2 enter- €d for the tournament coming from Toronto, Oshawa, Port Perry, Uxbridge, Bowmanville and other points, The Toronto visitors included ex-mayor W, W, Hiltz and Alderman Frank M. Johnston, | Daylight Saving 1 | i Ends In Whitby | Saturday Night Citizens of Whitby are re- minded to turn back the hands of time before retiring next Saturday evening, as Daylight Saving ends in Whitby at 12.01 on Sunday morning, or one minute after midnight on Saturday. All church services will there- fore be held on standard time. In Toronto, Oshawa, and other places, old time will be also reverted to, the same as in Whitby. Daylight Saving has been in effect in Whitby for five months, the time being ar- ranged to meet the wishes of the Railway Association and to keep in line with other places. A number of impor. tant changes on the railways go into effect when Standard Time is adopted. CLOCK REGULATES STREET LIGHTS New Machine Installed by Public Utility Com- mission An automatic time clock which Bwitches the street lights all over the town on in the evening and off in the morning has been in- stalled by the Public '1!'/1y Com- mission in the swits use in the town hall yard. retofore the caretaker has switched on the lights in the evening and the night constable in the morning before going off duty. The money paid these two officials for this work will in a few years pay for the installation of the clock. The new automatic clock is set #o that it will turn the lights on and off in accordance with oper- ations of Old Sol. In other words the new time piece will turn the lights on earlier each night as the days grow shorter and will turn them off later ip the morn- ing. In the summer, regardless of daylight saving, the clock will go by the sun and will turn the lights on and off accordingly. The clock was installed under the supervision of Supt. G. W. P, Every, who now has it workinz perfectly. It has now been In operation about a week. Historic Church Will Observe Its 101st Year On Sunday next, Sept, 27th, Almonds United Church celebrates its anni. versary services, A part of the Whitby Circuit of the former Methodist Church for approximately 100 years the congregation still "worships in the original building, It is known that in 182¢ Whitby was the head of a Circuit embracing Almonds and comprising in all no less than twelve townships, In those far away pioneer days the membership roll carried ninety-four names, Every year there is a re- gathering of old friends at the Anniversary and preach ing services are arranged for both morning and evening, as also an old time congre- gational gathering on the Tuesday night, This year Rev. J, W, Ped- 'ley, B.A, of Toronto, fam- ous as preacher and lecturer and himself a son of a pion. eer family within the bounds of the old Circuit will both preach and lecture. } "I believe that the success of imy plays is largely due to the fact that I was once a pavement or- ator.""--George Bernard Shaw, PRESENT MEDALS AT CONCERT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT The individual medals won by members of the Whithy Citizen's Band in the musical competition at the Canadian Nationa] Ex- hibition on September 4th, were the hospital this week and all Lope ere long he may be about again, Alf Bell had an accident with Lis car last week, on returning home he ran into the ditch and received nasty face cuts, making it necessary for the doctor to put in several stitches, He is progressing nicely and his friends hope for a speedy recovery. Several farmers have threshed their clover which has been a good yield and it means they will at least have their next year's seed, small last Sunday owing to ill- ness, ete,, but those present were favored with a fine solo from Mr. Smart's brother-in-law, from Toronto, which everyone enjoyed.

Particu- lars later, Scarcely could a neighborhood report a family worse stricken with disaster and trouble than that of James Routley in the loss of his fine barn by fire and worst of all, the loss of a good wife and mother (which is supposed to be from the shock of the fire), Mr. Routley lived for years right in our midst here and was always a good neighbor and citl- zen, before moving to Brooklin and the deepest sympathy goes out to his family. Look out for our church an- niversary in the near future, Our School had a h»'iday for Oshawa Fair and Brooklin School Yair which the children nc doubt enjoyed.

It would remove large contributions from the class of graft or bribery for there can hardly be such a thing as illumi- nated corruption, The one thing that is wrong with the financing of political campaigns is not the collection of money but the secrecy that surrounds the transactions, The answer to corruption is il- lumination, : "Far better for all of us to go with tight belts into stability than with loose ones into confusion," J.
