Already by rail and road from Halifax to Vancou- ver, ynen are speeding . towards Oshawa to be present when the sessions open first thing on Monday morning next. When delegates from the most distant points have signed in, there will probably be more than three hundred on the convention register. The convention is the annual summer meeting of the McLaughlin- Buick sales organization from coast to coast.

Late this evening he was sitting with his wife and little son in his automobile tent in the Clifton tour- ist camp and was going to prepare a light lunch. He struck a match and applied it to a gasoline stove which exploded, enveloping him, his son and the car in flames, The boy was caught and the flames extinguished but before aid was given to Mr. Heasley he had re- ceived terrible Injuries. He was rushed to the hospital and attend- ed by Dr. McGarry.

At the convention which Is to be held here next week it is expected that reports both of past operations during 1926-27 and of the future outlook will be extremely bright. The Oshawa-built McLaughlin-Buick has, during the past few months created new sales records, surpassing the previous high mark which wa¢ established at a time when both four and six-cylinder cars were manufac- tured in 1918. The dealer organi- gation which will meet here thus has a year of success in which busi- nesses were built up and consolidat- ed to look back upon. Not only dealers, but also seles- men and factory representatives, will attend-the convention. One of the mos; remarkable features about the meeting will be its ending; for after the last session has been held at Oshawa the entire three hundred delegates will be removed bodily in three special trains to Detroit, Mich- igan. From there they willi go by motor bus to Milford, Mijchigan, where Is situated the 1245-acre proving ground operated by the General Motors Corporation. The visitors will have the opportunity of travelling over the 24 per cent grades, the speed loop and straight- away that are features of this re- markable proving ground. | Much is to be packed into the sessions, however, before the dele-| gates hop aboard their special trains As befits the summer | weather, technical meetings are to be interspersed with baseball and | other sports. Luncheon and dinner each day are to be served in Lake- view Park, while the general sessions will take place in the General Motors convention hall and throughout the factory. The most eagerly-anticipated fea- ture of the convention, it is rumor- ed, will be private and advance showings of the latest McLaughlin- Buick models. The cars are to be shown on the turntable stage in the convention hall, specially comstruct- ed for such work. The second day of the gathering will be devoted al- most entirely to a viewing of the models from all angles and techni- cal descriptions given by members of the engineering staff of General Motors of Canada. By this means the company will be ensured that all its dealers have an adequate know- ledge of the product which they NORTH HURON BY-ELECTION TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 12 Nttowa, July 15.--Writ for the bv-election in North Huron, Ont., made necessary by the death of the late John W.

OPENING PROGGAN AT CHAUTAUQUA PLEASES AUDIENCE Acadia Novelty - Company Presents Entertainment of Great Variety More than 600 people attended the first evening's program present- ed by the Redpath Chautauqua, at the Collegiate Auditorium last night. The entertdinment congisted of a musical half hour by the Arcadia Novelty Company, the four young ladies who made such a hit in their afternoon's program and who made an even greater one last night, and a most entertaining and educational hour and a half address by Norman Allan Imris on the subject, "Work- ing Together for Billions." The Arcadia Novelty Company presented the same style of pro- gram in the evening as they did for the afternoon's entertainment with the only difference being that iy was cut down from a two hour recital to a half hour, and that it seemed to be marked with a little more pep and zest. Popular, classical and old time music was played hy their un- surpassable harmony or:hestra, com- posed of a plano, violin, tromhone and xylophone. Some of their more popular numbers were: 'Moon- beams, kiss her for me' and 'Hello Bluebird," with special ments in both cases. Each of the four ladies of the quartette also gave solo selections, wh'ch included a trombone solo, xylophone so'o, group of Japanese songs, besides an accordian and xylophone duet, The main feature of the even'ng's | program however was the lecture by Norman Imris on "Working To- gether for Billions." After a few minutes of introduction in which Mr. Imris put his audience into an uproarous mood by clever witty stories and anecdotes, he settled down into the body of his address, | but it was miles from being of the dry monotonous nature of which lectures are sometimes painted. The gist of hig lecture was the advocation of a closer co-ordination and "co-operation of the two great ed out the difference and likenesses English speaking countries of the world--the British Empire and the United States of America. He point- of these two countries, but he stat-| t ed with truth that the one great |t thing which they had in common and which overran every difference was their similarity in self-govern- ment; these two countries he stated and more particularly Great Britain, were the ones who Invented and perfected self-government, and this is what binds them together and should further bind them together along with the fact that they both speak the same language. A co- operation of friendship between Britain and United States, was Mr. Imris's key note throughout the lec- ture. He dwelt for some time upon the difficulties' which confronted both countries in the line of self-govern- ment, and more particularly Great Britain, who had more to concern herself with on account of the vast- ness and greatly scattered condition of her colonies. He also outlined the advance which self-government has made from the days of the Magna Charta, "when those hard-boiled {dotted line" down to the very latest would take too much time and space | state that arran-e- ninutes seemed only to have taken | "od andience at the Collegiate Audi- barons made King John sign on the advance in our present day history.
