* Hundreds Admire Handsome ~ New St. Andrew' s Stucture The Ladies' Aid of St Andrew's Church last night added another very successful event to their series of dedicatory services of the church, when they served a hot supper to out 600 people in the fine new ment. Commencing at half past five, the people began to arrive, and they kept coming till almost eight o'- clock. After the supper, the visitors were given a chance to inspeet the additions and alterations that have been effected in the church, and many were the complimentary ex- pressions heard on all sides. As many as possible were conducted by officials of the church, who are de- lighted with the gracious reception that has been given to their efforts to better accommodate the increas- ing congregation of St. Andrew's. During the evening music, which was much appreciated, was played by an orchestra under the leader- ship of Mr, F. ©. Maxwell, and ac- companied by Miss E. McIntyre. It was composed of: violinists, Miss M. Casselman and Messrs. H, Mec- Intyre, W. Taylor, F. Cornish, Me- Master, V, Caverly, and _FEileock; i" "b flute Mr. W. Lambert; trumpet, Mr. S. Trew; clarionet, Mr_F. Dobney; cello, Mt. A. L. Phuliph; and base viol, Mr. CW. Lambert. As one enters the new section of i the building -from the Bruce street entrance, the first vom encountered is the new vestry, which is very coe- ily furnished for the pastor's quiet moments. On the opposite side of the hall is the department for the little folks, with one room for the Beginners and one for the Primary department. On this floor there will also be found a ladies' cloak room, in which the ladies of the choir will keep their gowns, and will also have pro- vision for their wraps. Opposite to this is a men's cloak room, used by the men for a similar purpose. Then there is also an auditorium ih which the Young People's Leagne, the Women's Missionary Society, the Prayer Meeting and other mid-week meetings will be held, In connec- tion with this room thers is a kitch- enette for use when needed. On the upper floor is found the main sect'ons of the Sunday Scheol. Here lz a very spacisis auditorinm for tav Jurior and Ia'»rm=ditie do- partments; with fifteen class rooms. around the outer part of the room. These are fitted with movable par- titions, so that if more space 's de- sired for a larger meeting, they can be moved back against the wall and the space contained in them is then made available.. The auditorium is not only equipped with a 'fine plat- form, but also has permanent pro- gt Ed PAGE Seve. vision for a lantern with which to show slides on occasion. A feature of this room -i# ite splendid lght- ing, there being an electric light in every classroom and a window in nearly every ome, "fhe main audi- torium, itself, hus four large sky- lights, 'and splendid electric fixtures, Also - situated upstairs are five spacious ¢lasssrooms for teen-age classes, at least one of which con- tain a fireplace. The Sunday School Secretary is also well equipped with a separate room in which there is ample cupboard room to store peri- odicals ahd other literature. There 'is ¢lso a Tower room which has classroom equipment equal to any of the others. Coming down stairs again, we come to the church auditorinm proper. The transcept of the church has been moved back and an addi- tion built to the auditorium, the ad- dition seating 136 people, The ap- proximate capacity of the church is now over 700. The church has been beautifully ' redecorated and new heating and lighting systems have been installed, the old omnes being conipletely replaced, The church is now heated by steam, and there is at least one radiator in every room, including the Sunday School class rooms. A splendid system of light- ing has been iustalled, comprising two beautiful clusters around the room. It was as well competely re- decorated in a very heautiful stencil pattern in pale green, light brown and cream shades. The basement is divided into twd sections a gymnasiuth and a play- room, and there is also in conneéc- tion a very modern Kitchen, The gymnasium is separated from the rest of the basement by screens, which may be removed on oécasion.

After the concert, old fashioned and modern dancing will be the order. of the evening. usic will be provided ' by the Ontario 'Regiment band and the Royal Collegians orchestra. The concert and dance are entire- ly free and everyone in Oshawa is in- vited to accept the Fire Department's hospitality for the night. Beautiful decorations have trans- formed the Armory inte a colorful pa- vilion and the public is assured that ctverything will be done to ensufe their comfort and pleasure. Oshawa is one of Canada's banner cities in its annual low total of fire, loss, but the lesson of Fire Preventiod is said to need as much and more em- phasis here if the zity's record is to be maintained. Canada's fike loss for 1926 totalled $38,500,000 in property destroyed, and |288 lives were lost. Explosions, children trapped in burn. ing buildings, and flaming garments were the chief causes for the deaths. 10 GLGSE SCHOOLS EARLIER AT NOON (Continued from page 1) up to 3,056 a mew high record for Oshawa. Average attendance during the month showed exceptional percemt- ages. Only- one school failed to make a 90 per cent. average and then failed only by one point. King street with 301 enrolled pupils had an average of regular and punctual attendance stated at 96 per cent; North Simcoe with 317 pupils and Centre 'street with 734 pupils tied for a score of 94 per cent. Attendance Record Albert street with 289 attending was 93 per cent in attendance; Sim- coe South with 429 registered showed 92 per cent; Ritson Road, 542 enrolled, was 91 per cent; Mary street with 282 pupils was a 90 per cent school; while Cedardale with 275 enrolled stood -at 89 .per cent in attendance. \ During the month 1,739 pupils were never absent and 2,717 were never late. Out of Centre street, 734 children, 678 were never late. Collegiate enrolment totals 768 for all academic and commercial classes of which 665 ate city, 75 Ontarip County and 28 other coun- ties, The collegiate. night school has 3561 students enrolled and it is be- lieved that over 50 in the English for Foreigners class are yet to be registered, making the wnrolment well over 400. On motion of Trustee Smith, sor. onded by Trustee Bell, chairman of the Advisory Vocational Committee, the name of the class "English for Foreigners," was changed to "Eng- lish for * New Canadians." The change, it was pointed out, was due in recegnition of these newcomers evident desire jfto become a part of Canadian life and thought. Excellent reports on the work and service of the mew Collegiate Li- brary were presented by Principal O'Neill. , Schools close today at permit children to attend a fire prevention demonstration jin the Armories by Chief Cameron and the Fire Department. Chairman Mitchell praised Chief Cameron's fire prevention work very highly, and pointed out that great benefits which Oshawa nua derived frogn his interest and effi- cient efforts at arousing public in- terest. Purchase Seezts On recommendation of the na- visory Vecasional Commitiee, 300 mew seats for the Collegiate audi- torium will be purchased at a cost of $540. | Janitors are allowed five dollars in schoofs 'where playrooms are beinz used as class rooms. A. W. L., Smith, attendance offi- cer recommended that business men in' Oshawa be informed again of laws respecting the hiring of chilé- ren under 16 who haven't work per- mits, During September, 75 children were reported for mnon-attendance, and there were eleven cases of tra- ancy. Only one home refused point blank to send an absentee pupil, a girl, to} { school. This girl declared the was 16 years old, Mr. Cannon deZlared; her mother sald she was 15; her father said 14, and while the school nurses Geclare she is omly 13, 3 pm. to) (Continued from page 1) cerned, and now that they are faced with an annual tuition bill of some $150 for each child, it is considered probable that the parents living in East Whitby Township in particular will make strenuous efforts to get favorable action from the Ontario Council at its November session: Trustee Smith also introduced a motion accepting an agreement offer ed by the trustees of S.8. No. 4, of- fering to pay four dollars a month {for such of their pupils as Inspector tcheson had ordered admitted to the Cedardale School. This agree- ment to be retroactive to January 1, 1927, and to be accepted without prejudice to the "city's other claims against the school section's board of trustees. Trustee Annis was responsible for the 'without. prejudice" clause, pointing out that the Board had taken a strong line at the recent meeting despite Inspector Hutche- son's plea which preceded his direct order, and he felt that the Board's prestige would be hurt if the argee- ment, felt to be inadequate, were accented. . ; On paseing of Trustee Smitn's mo- tion, MY. Annis moved that the Board's accounts against S.8. No. 4 be put in the hands of City Solicitor for advice. | Speaking to the motion, Trustee Drew declared that he was opposed. "Our dignity as a Board of Edu- cation would suffer from this mo- tion which would merely stir up ill feeHng," he declared. "The better course for us, I think, is to show the trustees of S.S. No. 4 that we this matter and say no more about ! it." The vote resulted in a tie which was broken by Chairman Mitchell voting against the motion in line with Mr. Drew's suggestion, Dr. Donevan pointed out that Oshawa has several subdivisions which will soon be added to the city area, and he urged trustees to show that the Board will not allow itself to be imposed upon in the mat- ter of fees for es Jorbuvils. BUS SERVICE NEXT SPRING (Continued from page 1) er, on whether or not a bus service is thought advisable then. Contrary to the impression that an order for a bus had been placed by |the railway company and then can- celled when the proposition was drop- ped for the time being, The Times has been given to understand that an order was never placed. A firm of bus manufacturers, did, however, have a bus ready to place at the disposal of the railway company, as an experi- ment It will be rememberéd that at sever- al recent sessions of the city council the question of bus transportation in certain scctions of the city, particular- ly Simtee street, was discussed. In brief the railway company wanted a ten cent fare charged and the coun- cil believed this too much and that it should not 'he any more than seven rents. The railway company, feeling that it was an accommecdation act, rather than a money making scheme, found it could not operate at this price per passenger. Commenting cn this phrase today, Mr. Cooper said that the company would lose money at the start of such a service.

Mrs. How- ard Fallis of Peterboro, selected as spokesman of the women delegatds, urged closer co-operation between east and west. After declaring that if the Conservative Party had faults in the past they had ezred on the side of failing to use inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm of the wo- men and young girls of the party, Mrs. Fallis declared. "A poligy must be formulated to satisfy rights of other provinces. The transportation and marketing problems of the west require solu- tion." East, she said must be ready to concede this right to the west even if it entailed sacrifices. As a 'com- promise, however, the west must be willing to giant tariff concessions, not necessarily high or low tariff but adequate protection for nation- al life. Mrs, Fallis concluded with the ap- peal that no note of "discord should be wen to rise. Sh¢ was cheered re- peatedly at conclusion. Sir Thomas White then took plat- form. Conservative party in Canada was under only temporary eclipse he said. Sun of Conservatism would be again shine in Canada as brightly, or more brightly, than it had ever shone in past. "Conservative policy is some- | thing that Canada needs," he asserted. | "Conservative policy is somehting that Cotas so cannot do wtihout.
