The Service team was the sensation of the session, ad- ministering the untasty po- tion of defeat to the Oshawa Railway, who took the measure of Simeoes last week. One of the strongest teams in the group, Sim- coe's, however, were also beaten again, Buick Paint doing a nice job, but not with whitewash, al- lowing the Simcoes two goals, whilst they collected six. Fit- tings, who have been travelling the primrose path so far, continued on it, and won from the improved Daily Times outfit, 5-3, In the last game mentioned which came first on the bill-of- fare, Hubbell, of The Times, was the outstanding star, his rushes always landed him within scoring distance, and his checking was. ef- fective in breaking up opposing at- tacks. Shellenkoff played a sen- sational game in the nets for Wit- tings, and was mainly responsible for The Times reverse. The teams: Fittings: Goal, Shellenkoff; left defence, Copper; right defence, Meltz; right wing, McDonald; cen- tre, Chapman; left "wing, Shein. Substitutes, Jamieson and Green- field.

LEAVING CITY TO TAN OR RS: Miss Jennie I: Walker, 74 Ken- neth: avenue, was entertained 'dur- ing the past week by a shower and two presentations, all being sur- prise affairs. On Monday evening a number of school chums gave her a shower of personal gifts at the home of Miss D. Noriss, Drew street. The girls. were hidden in the 11b- rary, and when Miss Walker was quietly seated. listening in on the radio, the girls bounced out from behind the curtains. Miss Walk- er was given a seat of honor on the chesterfield and the gifts were | brought in on a silver tray. With each gift was a comic verse which was read before the parcel was untied, The evening was spent in musie from the radio, and plane and games were played. A dainty lunch was served as a conclusion to a happy evening, On Friday evening girl friends and neighbors gathered at her mo- ther's home, while she was at a neighbor's, When all had arrived, they phoned Miss Walker and was told she was wanted, She came in humming and called her moth- er, who answeged with, In here, Jennie." 8h me into the sit- ting room and turned on the lights and broke into laughter when she saw the both rooms filled with her friends. She was then given some parcels. A large hox filled with smaller boxes was emptied until at last she came to a silver engraved nurse watch, The other parcels were hose, Following are the verses: Tonight we meet to wish you well, As from our midst you go to dwell, \ And in your new and glorious life, We hope you'll not have too much strife, The jolly friends you see here Have clubbed together for "time'{ alright, May every second of your life Be spent as pleasant as tonight. Now Jennie dear, we very nfuch fear A nlrse you're bound to be 30 when our family starts to come, Don't charge to large a fee, A new life is yours, a new hope to remember, Some things must gc wrong your whole life long, So get despondent--Never! For children in thelr little beds, Are quite a trial you will find, And this you'll fully understand But keep your head and never mind. For both their pulse and respira- tion, You must take into econsidera- tion, And don't get sore if you they hore, And you will gain their admira- tion, rg And now we close this little prose, With gladness and goodwill; May God protect and give you strength . Your ambitions to fulfill. During the evening, Miss Walk- er changed into, a uniform and came In carrying a wrapped up doll, which she said was going to bave its tonsils removed. This caused a lot of laughter and com- ments. The rest of the evening was spent in music, ~ cards and dancing, and a dainty lunch of cakes, coffee, tea and fice cream was served by her mother, Mrs. Alex Walker.\ All departed with best wishes fox success and good luck In her ch profession.

One or two of these continue teaching today, Mr. Smith was a fine classical scholar and could 'drive a dog out of his yard with guy one of five languages," In addition to his ser. vices as high school master he was for a long time inspector for the public schools of Oshawa and in both offices commanded the mag- nificent salary of #$1,200 a year, an amount now perhaps only half of that paid to the janitor of the Collegiate Institute, In 1909 the late Mr. Blamey, having served tnrough a genera tion as customs house officer here, claimed his superannuation to which he was richly entitled, and Mr. Smith at the urgent request of manufacturing and business men of Oshawa acceded to the rec- ommendation of Mr, F. L. Fowke, then member for this riding, be- coming Mr. Blamey's successor, He carried into his new post the same efficiency and character that were his in the teaching profes- sion. On a change of government in 1911, o the theory that to the victors belong the spoils, Mr. Smith was asked to vacate his po- sition, which he did, and resumed his place in the teaching profes- sion with the high school at Corn- wall. He continued there for fif- teen years and upon his superan- nuation he returned to Oshawa, where be has lived for the past two years in the house which he | erected by his own hands almost ! balf a century ago. ! Mr. Smith was the author and publisher of two volumes of verse, | both of which were grestly ap- preciated by his friends and ad- | PO mirers and achieved wide circuls- tion in this country and the Unit- ed States, In all respects Mr. Smith lived the life of a perfect gentleman. Though little known to the pres- ent generation of Oshawa, he was highly respected by the older tam- ilies of the city. He was Method- ist in his religious convictions. Mr. Smith was a Liberal in pol- ities, and a member of Cedar Ma- sonic Lodge. His wife predeceas- ed him twelve years ago but he is survived by three * children: Mrs. (Dr.) Cameron Wilson, of Napan- ee, and another daughter, Mrs. Beasang, who with her husband 1s a student of arg in Germany; and a son, Dr. Frank Smith, who is a specialist in surgery residing in the City of Vancouver.
