M. C. A. parlors yesterday. Rev, F. Dickie, China Inland Mission- ary, now resident in Oshawa, had charge of both morning and even- ing services, At the morning ser- vice the ordinance of the Lord's Supper was observed by some twenty-three of those present, The nucleus of the membership of the new Church consists of sev- enteen, members who were granted letters of dismissal from the Em- manuel Baptist Church, Oshawa, on Sunday morning, and a number of others who have not been mem- bers of the local Baptist Church, The new Church will, for the present at least, be independent of the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec, its members being out of sympathy with the. position tu- ken by the Convention with res- pect to the teaching of Professor Marshall of McMaster University. The old established Baptist Church here at its recent Annual Meeting supported the Convention and in- cidentally Professor Marghall by a vote of fifty to ten, While In this sense horn in con- troversy it is understood it Is not the intention of those forming the new Chureh to emphasize their dif- ferences with their fellow Baptists but to earry on their work along evangelical lines In the belief that there is room in Oshawa for two Baptist churches, especially if each represents, as is the ease just now, a different point of view on a mat- ter that is looked upon in Baptist circles as being of mo small im- portance. Prayer meetings are heing held fn the homes of the members of the new group. and plans are un- der way for completing the organ- ization at an early date. An important feature of the new work may be the holding of a se- ries of Sunday afternoon evaneel- istic services. For the first of these services, which will be held in the .Regent Theatre, next Sunday, Rev. J, Linton B.A., pastor of High Park Baptist Church, Toronto, will be speaker, and it is expected that the Grace and Faith Male Quartette. also of Toronto, will be present to assist in the service of song.

GIRLS DEFEAT BOYS ROTARY 'CLUB DEBATE St. Lawrence Waterways Subject of Resolution-- Was Well Handled UNANIMOUS VOTE Three Fudaes 4 Gove Decision By Ballot Without Conferring A program of unusual interest and merit featured today's Rotary luncheon when four High School pupils debated the subject of the St, Lawrence Waterways. Miss Cermelita Cummerford and Miss Hazel DeGuerre represented the affirmative and George Campbell and Albert Glass handled the nega- tive. The wording of the subject was, "Resolved that Canada and the United States should jointly improve the St. Lawrence River between Lake Ontario and Mon- treal for navigation and power in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the International Joint Committee." The decision was given by the judges by ballot without confer- ring and resulted in a unanimous vote in favor of the affirmative. The judges were Messrs. E. W Drew, E. A. Lovell and G. D. Co- nant. The speakers wer: intro- duced by Mr. A. E. O'Neill, Prin- cipal of the High School, and Mr. Chas. M. Twing, B.A,, specialist in classics at the High School, who has been chiefly responsible for the training of the younz people in public speaking, was a 3zuest of the Cigb. Il four debaters handled their subject in a very excellent manner, but as the decision of the judges will indicate, the young ladies had a slight advantage over the boys, both in the matter of material and presentation. As it is intended to publish the four addresses in full in tomorrow's issue, it is mot ne- cessary to summarize them in this brief report. Mayor R. D. Preston became a Rotarian at today's luncheon, hay- ing previously been elected to mem- bership.

OF DEBENTURES Judgment Means the County Council Has Right to En- ter Into Special Agree- ments With Boards of Ed- ucation as to Cost of High School Education With the situation in regard to non-resident pupils being cleared up in Lincoln county following the judgment handed down by Mr, Justice Orde of the Supreme Court in Toronto, a different aspect has been thrown on the situation in Oshawa which is similar to that in Lincoln County. The judgment means that coun- ty councils have the right to en- ter into special agreements with boards of education regarding con- tributions to the cost of high school education, It clarifies the whole situation with respect to non-resident pupils, which has been a contentious matter for years, Mr. Justice Orde's decision is a probable precedent which will have far-reaching effect in settle- ment of a long drawn out agita- tion. The kernel of it is in the last sentence of his written deci- sion wherein he dismisses with costs a motion to quash bylaw 839 of Lincoln county couneil, authorizing the county *'to assume one hundred per cent. of the main- tenance charges and eighty per cent, of the capital expenditure for county pupils attending the St. Catharines Collegiate, com- mencing from January 1, 1926." "In my judgment," Mr, Justice Orde concludes his decision, "the county council was acting wholly within the powers conferred by sub-sec. 4 of sec. 42, when it passed the bylaw in question, and the motion 4£o quash the same must be dismissed with costs." Oshawa Board of Education last year notified the Ontario County Council and neighboring muniei- palities that after Jauary 1, 1928, the county would have to pay one hundred per cent. of the main- tenance cost of non-resident pu- pils attending Oshawa Collegiate. At a session uf the county coun- cil that body held the matter in abeyance pending the court deci- sion on the Lincoln County situa- tion. Now that the judgment in that case has been given favoring the argument of the Oshawa Board, it is expected that a settle- met will soon be arrived at.

Chief among the impromptu performers of these members were sent out over the ether by CHUC, the International Bible Students' Station here, were W. C.

Wilfred Cooper and Dudley Fielding also made a hit in voeal and instrumental numbers, An unforeseen situation has arisen as the result of numerous requests by radio fans ignorant of the unpro- fessional nature of the performers for more programs by the same ar- tists, The enthusiastic banquet last night for the Chevrolet Retail Or« ganization in Northern Saskatche- wan was one of the high spots of the tour of the 'Chevrolet plays ers', which began in Oshaws a month ago.
