While the celebrations will not carry the national aspect that they did last year, the Diamond Jubilee of Con- federation, it will still mean for loyal Canadians a day of pride in the ad- vances that our country has made. In Oshawa Dominion Day has al- ways been the chief holiday of the year. While there will be no cere- monial observance en Monday, such as took place last year, the city will observe it as a complete holiday, with almost everything but the res- taurants closing their ,doors until Tuesday morning, Sports and pic- nics, visits and visitors, touring and dancing will combine to make it a day of respite from inevitable busi- ness, 8 Since Dominion Day itself, July, 1, falls this year on Sunday, in al- most. every church in the city ob- servance of the anniversary will be made, and appropriate topics have beeh announced by several of the ministers, The day marks the an- annual church parade of local lod- ges of the Orange order? induding vi enior, junior and ladies' lod- ges. The parade this year is to the morning service to Emmanuel Bap- tist church, where the pastor, Rev. John Jatt, will: preach the sermon, VAP Aporia. prog , # i: A ber of picnics Cov ge A t mention, , family reunions in all quarters of the city, and a general good time, will feature thé celebra- ttons in-this city on Monday.

The first game is called for 10 o'clock in the morning and the second game for 3 o'clock-in the afternoon. Belle ville, Peterboro'and Deloro are all playing games on Mopday, so that the league standing will probably be considerably re-arranged. when the four games of the day have passed into history. Another important event of Mon- day is the district Bowling tourna- ment, the biggest of the year in local bowling circles. The draw is to be made at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the games will continue well in- to the evening. Several rinks from the district, including some from To- ronto, are entered in the events, and interest will probably be sustained by keen competition. The ferris wheel and merry-go- round at Lakeview Park are prov- ing real attractions for the kiddies, and they will probably have their full share of business on the holi- day. Programs for the day's en- tertainment are as varied as it is possible for them to be, and there is no doubt that Dominion Day will be enjoyed in Oshawa.
