Ideal weather prevailed, and bus- ses, motor cars and trains brought many old boys and girls back to family firesides, and not a few visitors to spend the day in the Couriy Town. At the Hospital Christmas Day was a very merry one for the fifteen hundred or more patients and members of the staff of the Ontario Hospital. Every building was gaily decorted for the occasion, huge Christmas trees laden with gitts were in every entertainments 'were provided, Every patient in the institution received gifts, these being distri~ buted by Dr, Stevenson, medical superintendent and members of his stuff. 'The Board of Visitors made their usual visit to the various buildings. At noon a dinner fit for a king, with turkey, plum pudding and all the trimmings was served, and in the evening there was also a special supper, a feature being an individual Christmas cake, made in the hospital kitchens, provided d not unload the high Chr ge erected in front of the Post fice but went to the Town Hall istead where he found hundreds i children and many adults await. for every patient, In this and other respects members of the staff were not forgotten. : In the afternoon a splendid en- ig him, Over 500 Christmas stock- |es were given out by Santa and is assistants, St. Nicholas was ven a royal welcome by Mayor jowman when he arrived in the all.

The committee in a day or two will issue a complete prize list of | the winners in al events, and short- ly a meeting will be called to wind up the business of the Fair, CHRISTHAS DAY ONE OF JOY FOR WHITBY PEOPLE Special Church Services -- Family Gatherings--Big Day at Hospital Church services and numerous family gatherings were the out- standing features of the Christmas Day celebration in town on Friday, Sant. Claus invaded the homes of the citizens "while men slept," and in the morning numerous stockings were taken down from the mantels or bed posts and Christmas trees unloaded. So far as is known, not a family in the town went hungry owing to the widespread distribu- tion 'of baskets of food by the Cheer 'and Welfare Fund, some - ter t was provided in the music hall by outstanding outtside talent, many well known artists ap- pearing on the pregramme. The celebration of Christmas at the Hospital was carried out on a big scale, and not one person con. nected with the institution was for. gotten. Far the * -ial fare was also provided at the Count House of Refuge for the aged residents there, and every thing possible was done by Mana- ger Lavery and his staff to make Christmas a happy day for the Home inmates. In the Churches In the Anglican churches All Saints' and St. John's the usual special Christmas Day services were held, with appropriate choir music and messages by the rectors. At St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church a union service between the United, Baptist, Presbyterian and Salvation Army congregations was held, with Rev. Dr. C, R. Car- scallen, principal and governor of the Ontario Ladies' College, de- livering the message. The church pastor, Rev, Dr, Carmichael, pre- sided, and he was assisted by Rev, A, L. Richards, B.D, of 'the United Church, who read the lesson, and Cant "Zelly of the Salvation Army who led in prayer. The choir, un- der Mrs. P, N. Spratt, rendered special Christmas music, The at- tendance was not large but was quite representative of the uniting churches. Theggnessage by Dr. Carscallen was . Ast inspiring. He stressed the fact "at fear was one of the greatest en€mies of human- ity today. The shepherds when they heard the angel announce the birth o Christ were sore afraid, but the contrasting message was that of the angels who announced hope of the ages, "Peace on carth, goodwill toward men. It was this message backed up by the Chris- tian faith, hope and courage that alone could rid the world of its superstition and fear, and lead it to Christ, the ambassador of peace and will. At. All Saints' Church, Rev. E. Ralph Adye, the rector, preached to a large congregation from the familiar message of the angels at Bethlehem's plains, "Unto you is born this day a Saviour, The choir sang the anthem, "Let us Go Even Now Unto Bethlehem." At. St, John's church, Port Whit- by, Rev. D. B, Langford presided at Holy Communion Services at 8.30 and 10.30, these being largely attended, WORLD'S SMALLEST * CHRISTMAS PUDDING London,--The smallest Christ- mas pudding in the world, made hentirely of Empire produce and weighing less than 14 oz., was ex- hibited side by side with a mam- moth 16-tons plum pudding at the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington, sw, ; ) It is one inch, and weighs 196 grains. Ht has been specially made for the Christmas market in aid of the People's Dispensary for the Sick Animals of the Poor, by Miss Lily Dalton, who requireq the assistance of a 'mathematician and a chemist to work out and weigh the various ingredints.

When the schooner Ria foundered while laden with salt from Cadiz, Spain, it was the second shipwreck to be experienced by Captain George Douglass and four of his crew, while for the fifth member it was a third time for him to survive an occurrence of this mature. The men were picked up by the steamer Aztec after five ships, une aware, of the schooner's plight, passed beyond sight of the frantic crew. Optimistic of "more fun to come," the stocky? humorous Captain res lated his most recent experience, "Well, this 1s the second time in five years that the old sea tried to claim me," mused skipper Douglass. "Strangely, it is five years to a day, too, when I was taken off thg Cath. ering Moulton, "We were 330 miles off Cape Race on the 37th day out of Cadiz, Spain, with 20 Otons of sale--~making a good passage for this time of year --when the bad weather set in. never seen anything like it in all my years on the Western Ocean. "She blew our sails out, our bob- stays were gone, our ms were gone and she was leakin' 400 strokes an hour, with all hands at the pumps. "We were blown 700 miles off our with 20 tons of salt -- making a course in the next 17 days, with things abroad "getting worse "n worse, We ran out of grub, except for some raw onions and the water got mighty low. We ketched about 30 gallons ©' rain water off the ca- bin roof and that helped some, but the vessel got more 'n' more uns manageable. "Well, we saw one ship comin' along and we figured sure we would be taken, We signaled 'em all gicht, but T guess they ncver seen us. That ship that did pick us up, the Aztec, was the sixth, and she came along just in time, I reckon. We were pretty sure by that time that we would have to "bandon the old ship, "You know we had burned most of our clothes. We used the clothes as sort o'flares, Fast we burned about everythin' aboard to try and get somebody to take us off. "Well, we saw the Aztec head' along, and we took our remainin' clothin' and soaked it in tar and gasoline, threw in a little rubber to make a smudge, and let 'er up. "I reckon it was pretty close to ten o'clock at night before the Az- tec caught our signal. Two hours after, we were aboard her, and mighty glad to be there, We set fire to our old schooner as we left her. There isn't much leit of her now, I guess." PEER CUTS DOWN OWN YULE TREE Toronto.--Even the duties of a British peer in the House of Lords "do not prevent him from cutting his own Yule log and carrying it home. Bert Russell told members of the Capadian Women's Press Club when the women writers entertained for the philosopher, The third Earl of Russell was {introduced by Meyer W, Welsgal. "It would take a very import- ant engagement to prevent me cutting my own log and erecting my own tree for my children at Christmas," he said, in express ing appreciation for the welcome the press women and Toronto in general had given him.

Admission 28c. : £140¢), GHOST OF KENT COUNTY RINTO EARTH AT LAST White-robed Creature Had Human Agency Be hind It Moncton, N.B.~For years a gho flitted about the wooded Ad Kent County, New Brunswick, Hunted with sticks and stones and guns, the white-robed creature mov- ed about, unconcerned. In recent Yyars it 'was forgotten, until last Hallowe'en when a party of motor. ists were terrorized as an unearthly creature with flowing hair floated around their speeding car and thew two girls into a faint. During the following weeks it reappeared sev. eral times and the Moncton Times was besieged with letters, the fast of which was from a motorist who clatmed to have run the uncanny ereaturs to arth. " " e first letter was from "Mysti- fied Subscriber," who described his experience with the ghost like this: "Editor, Moncton Daily Times: I come as an inquirer with the hope that some of. your readers, in» terested in puzzles, psychological and physical, may be able to throw some light on the following myster- fous happening. "have always maintained that stories of ghosts and apparitions of the dead originate in the imagipa- tion of those of a superstitious turn of mind, Since the early morning of All Saints' Day, however, I have been in a sort of dilemma, not knowing what to believe, On Hallowe'en night, in company with two young ladies and a male companion, all of this city, I was driving from Chatham, The night was pitch dark and the rain coming down -in torrents. About two o'- clock in the morning we were driv mg along a lonely stretch of woods between Richibucto and Rexton and all at once, without the warning of a thought, the figure of a woman clad in white, appeared in front of the car, I brought the car to an abrupt stop, opened the door and called out. In the very. utterance, my voice stuck in my throat with a gulp of horror for the woman had vanished. 1 again started the car. In a second the figure reappeared and sprang on the running board. By this tim: the young ladies were screaming with terror and I myself was absolutely buffeted out of deci- sion, Whether to stop and throw the thing off, or yield to the en- treaty of the girls to keep on was past resolving. All the time I was conscious of an effort on the apoarj- tion's part to speak, but on account of the windows being closed, and the wind and rain, 1 could hear no- thing, My first thought was that the Ere was a disguised Hallowe'- en joker late getting home, because it carried a large® dark object re- sembling a gun, The apparition kept with us on the running board for, perhaps five minutes. When we neared a small bridge, it left the car with out the motion of a limb, and seemingly floated into a grove near the creek--yes, floated as if borne on some mystical wind, with its long white hair streaming behind, Both girls fainted, and one of them re- quired the attention of a physician when we reached Shediac. The above is true in every detail. The reason no names are mentioned is only because my three compan- ions on the trip are strongly op- posed to the imdesirable notoriety such disclosures must necessarily cause, A well known commercial travel. ler has informed me that this ap- parition many occasions by resi. dents of that vicinity and that the mystery was discussed one evening in the Empress Hotel, Richibucto, only last week. It is easy to explain a ghost away, but I can state under eath that this figure stepped off the car while we were travelling fifty miles an hour. Can anyone explain that?" Other letters were equally sensa- tional and inspired residents of the district to lie in wait for the ghost. But in a recent issue of the Times, "B, Ware" threw cold water on the whole affair by exposing the terror of the woods as an ingenious con- trivance of mischievous.youths: "Editor, Moncton Daily Times: There is a human agency back of every ghost mystery, and the means by which the Richibucto apparition is propelled along on its lightning speed flights is very simple. In company with two others, J lett Richibucto Monday about mid- night. It was dark and raining heavily when we neared the place where the ghost is wont to make his noctyrnal flights, and one of the boys remarked how ideal the night was for the apparition's appearance. Hardly were the words uttered when a white-robed figure emerged from the woods, made a leap about three feet from the ground, then sped along the edge of the woods for a distance of perhaps three hun- dred yards and disappeared, We stopped the car to investigate and found the ghost to. be nothing more than a dummy with its lower part heavily weighed. The purpose of the weight was to keep the figure perpendicular and life-like, as it sped along beneath the wire from which it was suspended. The thing ran on rabbit wire with pulleys and made on the clothes-line principle. It was almost impossible to discern the fine wire against the darkened woods, and about three feet from the ground, would puzzle and frighten anyone. ] . We followed the wire back to a narrow road leading to the river, The other pulley was fastened to a tree near the entrance to the road, We followed the upper wire down the road and found about thirty yards of cod-line fastened to the end, of it, Near the end of the road, and in sight of the river, we came upon a parked car which con- tained three young men, car faced 'the river and the men were entirely * unaware of our presence duti we hailed them, eir car is ts went on suddenly and one fel- ow put his head out of the door and said laconically: v 'Seen anything?' 'Sure', I replied, "We've seen it alk even to the twen. MUMMIFIED BODY STIRS INTEREST Believed That of John Booth Reputed Assassin of Lincoln ---- Chicago, Ilis.--The wizardry of modern science is being employed in an effort to answer a question that has been argued off and on in the United States for sixty-five years--namely what became of the body of John Wilkes Booth, assas sin of Abraham Lincoln? A group of Chicago scientists, in- cluding Health Commissioner Her- man Bundesen, have commenced an attempt to find the answer by ex- amination of a gaunt mummified body of a man who killed himself almost twenty-nine years ago at Enid, Okla, The body was that of a2 man known as John St. Helen, who had claimed he was the real Booth, Be- fore he died re reiterated his state- ment, Following his death his body came into the possession of Finis L. Bates, then attorney gen- eral of Tennessee, Who wrote a hook attempting to prove that St. Helen was Booth, When Bates died the St, Helen body became a sideshow exhibition and later was purchased fur $8,000 by Mrs. Agnes Black of Chicago. She decided to have St, Helen's claim tested and the exam- ination of the mummy Was ay- ranged by the Chicago Press Club Beneath a flood of light the body was subjected to the scrutiny of Dr, Bundeson and his associates, and while no definite conclusions were reached, the Chicago Herald and Examiner said that x-ray plates showed markings that might acount for injuries and surgical treatments which Lincoln's assassin had received, The examination recalled the events of April 26, 1865, when Fed- eral secret service agents stormed a barn near Bowling Green, Va. and killed a fugitive identified as that of Booth, Despite this, a con- troversy has sometimes been waged as to whether the slain man was Booth, The scientists who examined the mummy. said the x-ray revealed a ring mounting with a "B" mono- aram in the dead man's stomach, St. ,Helen made his first state ment that he was Booth afier he became {ll on a Texas ranch in 1872 when he summoned Bates and told him the story. He recovered, how- ever, and took his own life in 1903 SNOWDEN'S SISTER PROUD OF BROTHER Tells Interviewer That Peerage Makes No Dif- ference to Philip London.----A writer in the "Overseas Mall" describes an interview; with Philip Snowden (Lord Icornshaw);--- "In the stone-flagged kitchen of a two- roomed cottage In Cowling I talked to a very proud old wo- man--Mrs, Shaw, a weaver and the wife of a weaver, and the sister of Mr. Snowden, In the broad dialect of the moors and with a great pride shining in her eyes she told me as we sat beside the kitchen range of the Philip Snowden who lived in that very room more than half a century ago. #I'm so proud that I cannot fing words to express what I would like to say about Philip's honour," she said simply. Mrs, Shaw is a year or two older than her brother, who is 67, and she can remember nearly the whole of his life, "I wish father and mother had lived to see this day," she said with a wistful glance glance at a photograph of her mother, whe died a few years ago at the age of 90. "Being a Peer won't make any difference to Philip," Mrs. Shaw sald. "If he walked in at that door now as he often has done I should be sorry that I hadn't got the house tidy and my clogs polished, but I would just take him by the arm and say, 'come along Philip ang sit down. When he comes here he sits in father's chair by the fire for hours smoking his cigarettes." OLDEST WOMAN DIES London.._The oldest woman in England has just died at the age of 108, in Alnwick, North- lumberland. Her husband died fifty-four years ago. Mrs, Peary ascribed her long life to plenty of hard work, good food and bar- ley cake. Her mother lived to be ninety-three, and two twin sisters died at the ages of ecighty-three and ninety-three, i . ---------- mn Ai QUITE 50! udge compla hat too ma young girls A A 3 ith by their mothers, Led ash-iray, as it were, As fellows sped down this lane hauling the top wire, the ghost sped up towards Rexton on the lower wits, clever idea,' , Yes, wasn't it," replied a dapper little fellow who aod as pra vil man.

War Inescapable Still in Existence New "York, N.Y.--The purposes and policies which made the Great War inescapable survive unmodi- fled today, says Frank H. S8imouds, Great War historian, in a new book just published, Only the accom- modation of seemingly irreconcil- able policies, he writes, can pre- vent a new war from becoming in- evitable. "In 1914 war came not because any people desired it, but because the policies which all people were pursuing and the objectives which they were seeking, could be rea- lized only through victorious con- flict," he says, "In 1932 the situ ation is unchanged." The title of his book asks, "Can Europe Keep the Peace?" Mr, Simonds reaches the conclu- sion that war debts and repara- tions wiil never be paid and that Herbert Hoover, United States Pre: sident, is unwittingly responsible for their cancellation; that the League of Nations has failed; that Germany committed suicide with United 'States money; that France caused the downfall of the first ministry of Premier Ramsay Mac- Donald and the British financial collapse and that France has ex- ploded all disarmament confer ences, While the Young Plan collapsed concomitantly with worldwide de pression, he writes, the collapse was not the consequence of depression because Germany never had intend- ed to pay war reparations. oz "In June, 1931," he says, "the Germans afforded the incredible spectacle of a people on the edge 'of bankruptcy and triumphant. What had happened amounted in effect to a deliberate undertaking on the part of the Germans to com- mit suicide. ... Hoover did not save Germany from bankruptcy or the world frony the consequences of that disaster. "Nevertheless, as a result of the Hoover moratorjum all of the war debts and at least the greater part of reparations are dead, The mor- atorium must be extended automati- cally, not for one year, but inde finitely." "Seventeen years of almost con- tinuous conflict, interrupted only by incomplete truce, have reduced the whole (European) continent to a state of economic and social dls- order unparalleled since the Thirty Years War," «the historian contin- ues, "Nations are bankrupt, trade is reduced to barter, money has lost its value, even the pound sterling has faltered. The unemployed mil- lions are meagrely fed by public treasuries, themselves inadequately filled by taxation, which is extor tionate. The miseries of the so- called peace of today, miseries reaching to evéry human being within national limits, defy exag- geration. It is clear that what has been going on since 1914 cannot 2.00 | Bowmanville Daily Times BOWMANVILLE EDITOR--REGINALD BRETT Office Telephone No. 744; Residence Telephone No. 730 CHURCHES JOIN IN SPECIAL SERVICES United Churches Fix Uni- form Subjects for Ser- vices in January With the object of beginning the New Year well, the Minister. fal Assoefation of Bowmanville has agreed that during the five Sundays in January, at morning service fn each Protes'pint church. the minister shall pr2ach on the same central theme.
