* Driver Has Miracu Escape From Death as Ca FEAR OF THE LORD 1S VITAL SEGRET "FOR ALL WISDON Rev. Robert McDerment Preached Forceful Sermon : at St. Andrew's (By Staff Reporter Bowmanville, July 16. -- "The true record of the beginning of oll wisdom is in a fear of the Lord," stated Rev. Robert Mec- Derment last night in his semnon at St. Andrew's Continuing Pres- » n church here, Basing Genesis, Mr. McDerment first told the story of Joseph's interpreta- tion of Pharaoh's dream. Magi. clans and wise men of Egypt had falled to interpret the dream to Pharaoh's satisfaction and at the butler's suggestion Joseph was brought from the prison. His in. terpretation rang so true that Pharaoh not only accepted it but made Joseph one of the chief men of Egypt. Joseph did not take the glory of translating the dream, Bstt simply stated that the l.ord had so willed him to say. The magicians were clever. They had to be clever to get to he magicians in those days. 'But Joseph's words were the words of wisdom, Therein, in Rev. Me- Derment's estimation, lay the dif- ference, The world today is full of clever men, both in the world of commerce and of polities, What We most need is not clever men at the helm, but wise men, men who have a fear of the Lorl and are ready to do his bidding. ---- WERRY FAMILY HOLD OUTING AT HAMPTON PARK » Hundred Members At. d 52nd Annual Picnic-- Many Come Long Way Bowmanville, July 16, -- The fty-second annual meeting of -the erry family took the form of a fcnic on Saturday when over. wo hundred members of the fam- ly met at Hampton Memorial Park, The members, many of hom came from long distances, had dinner together under the hurch shed becaues of the rain, Following the tasty dinner the ports program was carried nut.

The Dominion Redpath Chautau- ua tent was crowded with more than 1000 patrons on Saturday even- i when the three act comedy ommy" was presented by a cast of artists of exceptional ability who succeeded in making the play one of the best of its kind which has been seen in Oshawa for a number years. With a good plot as a background all the characters brought out some of the natural faults of every day life and did so in such a manner as to keep the audience in a continuous state of laughter all through the three acts. ' The story itself centred in the riv- alry of "Bernard" and Tommy Mills for the hand of beautiful Marie Thur- ber: the daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Warren | Thurber, who played a prominent part in the story. In the opening act Tommy Mills was the ideal husband for Marie in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Thurber who had become quite attached to the boy during the year he had been paying his attentions to their daughter prior to the time the play begins. Thinking it time their daughter was married, the Thurbers inform her that they thought she should be- come engaged to Tommy immediately and so strongly do they press their desire that Mary rebels against their supposed authority in this regard and in so doing, slights Tommy and turns to her other suitor, Bernard, to whom the family is much opposed. Living in the same home is Mrs. Thurber's brother, David Tuttle, who takes quite an interest in the whole affair. He sces the trouble coming and warns Tommy that he is too much a favorite of the parents and is not, as a result, giving enough time to Marie. He intimates to Tommy that if he did something to make the family opposed to him, he would have a 'better chance with Marie and would probably get an an- swer to his numerous proposals. The plan worked but it took a great deal of manoeuvring and "fix- ing" on "Uncle David's" part to bring it about and it seemed on several oc- casions that his efforts would lead in the opposite direction to what he had intended. The true love for each other showed through at the last however and Tommy and Marie are about to be married at the ending to the play. 3 It was more the sparkling comedy which was brought out during the play that made it the success it was, than the actual plot, in the opinion of many. The father, Mr. Thurber, was particularly outstanding as a comedian although his acting entire- ly unassumed and for that reason, all the more appreciated. His role as father was a natural one and so also was that part played by Mrs, Thurber. ; David Tuttle was an important fac- tor in the plot and carried out his part successfully besides adding an occasional laugh to the story. , Ber- nard, the rejected suitor, played a difficult part successfully, bringing out his faults so as to show to ad- vantage Marie's good judgment in choosing Tommy. Tommy, after whom the play was named found his most difficult acting when he had to "insult" the parents in order to turn them against him in accordance with the advice of "Uncle David." Fran Heyser played the part of Bernard, Opal Flood the part of Ma- rie Thurber, Hazel Stephenson the part of Mrs. Thurber, Robert Strauss the part of Mr. Thurber, Albert Law- rence the part of David Tuttle and Nat Wade the part of Tommy Mills, Bowmanville Police Have Quiet Weekend I8y Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, July 16.--Police here report one of the lightest week-ends of the season.

J. Fhanjhan, Christie street, Osh- awa, announced that his car, a Mc- Laughlin-Buick sedan bearing lic- ense no. 342-955, had been stolen. As the description - tallied exactly with that of a badly wrecked automobile which had leen towed into David- son's . garage, Dundas - street, the police realized that this was the owner and driver. F. It is thought that Fhanjhan fell asleep while = driving. east on the Kingston highway between here and Oshawa, late Saturday. night, his car taking the ditch in the vicinity of the Union Cemetery. ' Its career as a useful motor vehicle was sudden- ly cut short by a hydro pole. The wrecked machine as seen in the garage makes one wonder how the driver ever escaped alice. The engine was almost completely des molished while hardly any glass re- mains in the windshield. Bea the steering wheel 'was broken and the radiator has been twisted into an unrecognizable mass while no sign remains of the two front wheels. Fhanjhan's reason for reporting to the Whitby police that his car was stolen is not known, as the fact that he had suffered several minor cuts indicated that he had been in an accident. The miracle is that he was not killed as the impact must have been tremendous to cause such ser- ious damage to the sedan. The driver may have been dazed by the sudden shock thus accounting for the theft story. Highway Traffic Officer Spence, of Brooklin, investigated the affair and a report was made to the Oshawa police and the provincial police, 4 i HH CG.

The govern- ment has equipment totalling in value nearly $750,000, including 290 port- able' fire-fighting units, 630,000 feet of linen hose, 1100 hand pumps and other equipment. The portable en- gines are valuable, developing 4 to 5 horsepower and lifting a stream of water to effective heights even after it has passed through* hundreds of feet of hose. When necessary the pumps are worked in relays, a relay of three pumps transporting water two miles inland from the water sup- ply. 'Lhe first pump. discharges through a long length of hose into a canvas tank, from which the next pump lifts the water through the next relay, and so on. "As in the city, it has been found that there is nothing like water in fighting a for- est fire," said Mr. Mills, - The provisions of the Forest Fire Preventicn Act" of Ontario were summarized by Mr. Mills. Under this act, pcssons who do not use care in handling fires in the fire districts are hable to a maximum fine of $300 and of 50 days imprisonment, In case of a fire, campers or four'sts can be compelled to fight it, on crder of the fire ranger, and other pro- visions for the protection of the forests are included.

His program, pr ted in co { with the other splendid artists which, appear for five days in this city, was a wonderful demonstration of magig mirth and mystery, and kept the aus dience in roars of laughter through« out the whole evening. The very appearance of Lauran himself lends an air of mystery t his performance, which is artistica set amid the charm of a Chinese) temple. Laurant is master, i He makes his appearance at the offset with the strains of oriental music striking faintly on the ears of the audience. The metallic clank of the cymbal strikes, and the magicia is there. What happens next is suf- ficient to cause anyone to believe he is in an enchanted land. Doves, rab» bits, chickens, and ducks appear and disappear in a most remarkable man«, ner. During the first part of the ol ram, Laurant caters to the children,' is tricks are presented for their ap= proval, which fact makes him a per« manent friend to kiddies of Oshawa,! He presents many hoys and girls, with little favors, and throughout| their part of the entertainment, in« { vites seven or eight. children to help! him do his tricks.
