Royally entertained by Toronto, he learned that Toronto and this city have the same type of floating sand filter, the only two of their type in Canada. The convention's most important step was to pass resolutions for action at the next session of the On- tario legislature, which will require *all new appointees to civie sanitary inspectorshipis to pass provincial 'examinations. Those who have been in office for five years prior to the passing of this proposed measure will be considered qualified by ex- perience, but the tendency in future BUILD FENCE 'A. G. Storie, O. M.

Young Tell of Assembly Today's weekly luncheon of the Oshawa Rotary Club was marked by reports of delegates to the recent axecutive conference of the 27th Rotary District at Bath, New York. The delegates were President Storie, Rotarians O, M, Alger, George Hart, and J. C. Young, all of whom spoke in glowing terms of the hospitality extended by Bath which is a beauti- ful little town of four thousand people nestling in the New York hills, President Storie pointed out that one of the remarkable features of Bath is that it has four excellent hotels and a fine Masonic Temple as compared with Oshawa's posi- tion in these important develop- ments in the business and fraternal life of the community. Rotarian Alger gave an flluminat- ing account of speeches delivered at the sessions dealing with Boys' Work from the inspirational stand- point and with the general ideals of Rotary work. Rotaria George Hart and Secre- tary Young informed their fellow Rotarians of the special events in the convention which impressed them most. The delegates were welcomed by the -mayor of bath and presented with a key to the city which was an elaborate token six feet in length and borne over the shoulder of a ecivie official.

The passing of the by-law tonight is anticipated though it may be committed. ; The measure which will come be- fore the aldermen tonight will be a digest of legislation found effec- tive in other cities of Ontario, but special anplication to Oshawa's own needs. Strictness is emphasized, but nothing drastic is contained in its provisions, except for the criminal- ly negligent as regards sanitation. with the law in effect, it is be- lieved that the Board of Health will initiate a general clean up of certain food serving establishments that have. hitherto, defied the health authorities as far as they dared. will be to make the work professi al in pature.

It is also extremely probable that arrangements will be made by the Ontario Ministry of Health, of which Dr. Forbes Godfrey is head to give sanitary inspectors a corres- pondence course in the duties and service possibilities of their work.

RICKARD DOES NOT EXPECT SELL-OUT (By Associated ress) Chicago, Sept. 19--Completion today of arrangements for handling a record breaking crowd expected | to - witness the heavyweight championship Thursday revealed a recount of seats that boosts the originally fig- ured total of one hundred and sixty thousand to 170,950. Of this num- ber, forty two thousand are of the "ringeide' variety, priced at forty dollars each.

In addiiton, the past sum- mer has given ample demovstration of the fact that Oshawa lies in a belt distinct from the city of Toron- to so far as weather observation iz concerned. Severerain storms here have not even touched the provin- cial capital, while the reverse is equally true. If the establishment of an Osgh- awa branch isapproved, it is prob- able that two stations would be es- tablished. One at the lake shore in connection with the City's filtration plant, and the other probably in the northern part of the city. Both, it could be arranged, would be oper- ated by the city waterworks depart- sent. The lakeshore station would be the more elaborate of the two as to equipment and staff; the second sta- tion would probably "require little more han an automatic rainfall rec- ording device with aerometer to rec- ord the direction and speed of pre- vailing winds.

Canada Recognized Says Premier King Ottawa, Sept. 18.- "18 Definite recogni- tion of Canada's nationhood is implied in her election to one of the non-per- manent seats on the Council of the League of Nations, says Premier Mac- kenzie King, in a statement handed to the press. The Prime Miniister also suggests that it may be regarded as an indication of the high esteem in which Canada is held by other mem- ber States of the League. The state- ment of the Prime Minister follows: "The members of the Government are highly gratified by the election of Canada to one of the non-permanent scats on the Council of the League of Nations. Our election to the League Council at this time not only implies a definite recognition of our indiyi- duality as a nation, but, I think, may justly be regarded as an indication of the high esteem in which Canada is held by 'other member States of the le ream of 111.30 o'clock Sunday League. red, Two in ital When Car Is Di ver Held .

The boy left home on Thursday morning on his bicycle to go to school, when about nine- thirty o'clock he was found by two little children lying in the road un- conscious and bleeding profusely. A kindly passer-by in an automobile took him into King City to a doctor's office were his parents were soon summoned. He was rushed to the hospital where he partially regained consciousness in the afternoon. He is badly cut about the head and face and the bicycle totally destroy- ed was found quite a distance down the road. The child is still unable to tell just how the accident occurred but it is supposed that he must have been struck by a car: Five Prisoners in London Jail Make Clean Getaway Search Parties Scour District |.

While the auditors are still busy with the fair's financial results, it is known that cash receipts were $862.10 in excess of the total re- ceived in 1926, representing an atten- dance gain of about 2,000, nearly the total of paid admissions for Thursday, the fair's first day. Offsetting the gain in receipts are increased expenditures, but there will be some increase in revenue from the larger number of concessions rented. It is probable that the fair's deficit carried forward for some years will again be reduced by a respectable amount, Attendance by days credits Thursday with 2,100 paid admissions; Thursday with 7800; and Saturday "with 7,164, Despite earnest efforts of city indus- tries to make Saturday a record break- ing day for attendance, citizens at large failed to fall in line as thoroughly as was anticipated--even taken for gran- ted. Results on the whole, however, were satisfactory. While the board's efforts were not crowned with any phenomeal success, it is believed that the better exhibition staged this year will do 12 months of effective advertising. In the meantime it is probable that the fair board will take every opportunity to develop a greater measure of civic sup- port for the fair which is admitted to be the best County Fair in the Pro- vince. A meeting of directors will be held early in October, probably, at which time consideration will be given not only the recent fair's results but plans laid for future development.
