While only a teen-ager, he would practice making shadow- ed images on the wall. His first performance was at a banquet for employees of the stationery shop where he worked. Mr. Harmer recalled that the largest crowd. before which he performed was 4,000 in Middle- sex in 1897 at the annual Christ- mas and New Year's Soiree. In his day, fortunes were not to. be made on the stage, so he had to perform in the evening and keep a steady job during the day. The most money he ever made for one performance was 40 shillings, about $6. Mr. Harmer arrived in Ogh- awa with his wife, Clara, and Entertains Sr. Citizens two sons in 1906. He had $15 in his pocket. He started working for the old piano works, then went to work for the McLaughlin Carriage Works and later, General Motors, for 18 years. FIRST AID WORKER But show business was not his only skill. He had learned first aid in the English army and put it to work in Oshawa forming the nucleus of the St. John Am- bulance Brigade. He also start- ed the first hospital in the Gen- eral Motors plant here. Mr. Harmer was a member of the GM hospital staff for 10 years. He served in the First World War with the Canadian Army Medical Corps as a Quarter- master Sergeant. Mr. and Mrs. Harmer live with their son and daughter-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. J. Harmer, Magistrate Flays City Dance Hall The Red Barn, a dance hall on Wayne street, came under a scathing attack by Magistrate Harry Jermyn here Friday as he decided a series of assault charges and countercharges. "T am disgusted with the way trouble emanates from the Red Barn," he said. 'It is not run the way any decent place should be run, ? "Its licence voked."' This attack came following the conviction of Keith Howard, 23, of Conant street for an as- sault on Dave Nichols, 24, of RR 2, Newcastle, which, the court was told, originated just outside the dance hall, Sept. 26. JAILED. TWO MONTHS Two other assault charges against Howard, laid by Mrs. Mildred Barrette, 26, of 67 Bant- ing avenue, and her nine-year- old daughter were dismissed. Howard was given two months in jail. A charge and countercharge between Nichols and Ron Rob- inson, 23, of Wayne avenue, were both withdrawn by the complainants. Mrs. Barrette said she and her daughter were at the dance hall when Nicholls offered to take them home about 11 p.m. He, she said, was accomparied by a nine-year-old boy identified only as "Michael". As they left, she continued, someone called out: "Hey Mil- lie, you pig". "Dave said: 'Come éver here and say that', and Ron Robin- son appeared, They fought for Cash Transfer Is Uneventtul Whitby (Staff) -- A bank's securities and cash was carried across the four corners in the early hours of today.

Nicholls suffered facial cuts and bruises, which required hos- pital attention, and a concus- sion. She also accused Howard of hitting her little girl across the nose with a pop-bottle. Since only the child could confirm this, His Worship dismissed for lack of evidence, Mrs. Barrette also' claimed that, when she tried to help Nicholls in the fight, Howard grabbed her and threw her against a fence, and struck her on the arm. She admitted hitting Howard on the head with her high-heeled shoe on a previous occasion, and to attempting an attack on him with a pop-bottle. MOTHER CRITICIZED Magistrate Jermyn blasted Mrs. Barrette for taking her daughter to the Red Barn. "Any woman who takes a nine-year-old to the Red 'Barn must have something wrong with her head in the first place," he said. To Howard, he asked: "Are you a man or an attiimal?" Robinson's version of the inci- dents leading up to the assault charges. differed from those given by Nicholls. He claimed Nicholls had been using foul language in front of a woman and, when cautioned, had offered to "clean my clock for me". A punch in the face by Nicholls started the brawl at the Red Barn, he said, and it was on Nicholls' invitation that he went to the Albert street nouse to finish the fight, After a recess, they both ask- ed to withdraw the charges. "Well, that Red Barn must be a great place," Magistrate Jer- myn mused. "It is a very respectable dance hall," offered Robinson. "T can tell that by the calibre of people: who go there," His Worship smiled. he felt ill, and had_gont:-out into the back yard of. the house where he was attacked by "five men who jumped on him", KICKED IN HEAD Two of the attackers, she was certain, were Robinson and Howard.
