REE : t ~ PAVILION AT LAKEVIEW PARK--THE AMUSEMENT RESORT AND TRBYSTING-PLACE OF - 3 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES --- Greater Oshawa Edition -- SATURDAY, AUGUST. 11..1928 a a kA PROBL OF EXPANSION SOLVED BY ST. ANDREW'S Harmonious Scheme of New Construction and Remodelling Which Afford Greatly v: Enlarged Scope and Accommodation. THE NEW AND ENLARGED 8T, ANDREW'S CHURCH HE enlargement of St, T Andrew's United Church is an undertaking which merits detailed mention in a publication of this nature. In the Fall of 1926, Messrs, Gordon & Helliwell, well-known Toronto architects, were en- gaged to prepare the necessary drawings and specifications, 'and the new Sunday school 'building and the additions to the church auditorium were constructed in the summer of 1927. The general contractor was A, V, Swail, of Oshawa, The existing buildings were care- fully examined, and it was decided that the old Sunday School part should be entirely razed and a new building erected for Sunday School and other purposes. The compara~ tively narrow lot between the church building proper and the castern lim- it of the property necessarily limited the form and arrangement of this building, so the new building was planned to be as 'wide as the lot 'would permit, leaving only a narrow passage to the east for light and air, The addition to the church au. ditorium was made difficult owing to the square plan, with the pulpit at lone corner. The simplest and most obvious method of enlargement was *idopted, namely by making a long transept to the south. This has been arpied out to harmonize with the est of the old church building, the rge gable window being re-used. his addition to the auditorium gives one hundred and seventeen additional Mitfings. . The new school-house portion "has 's street frontage of 58 feet, but here it abuts on the old church uilding it is only 43 fee: wide. The 'length from north to south is 100 feet, In order to emphasize the en- france, and also to harmonize the gomposition of the old and new paris of the building, a tower is placed pt the entrance to the new school- house. The high basement of the #chool-house and its two other stor- oys make its cornice line higher than the old church. The portion fronting on the street was kept as low as possible and Anished with a sloping, plate-covered roof, to harmonize with the old church. The rear portion, in which the main Sunday School room is located, had necessarily to he made higher. This has a flat roof, The entrance doorway is a few pteps above the sidewalk. The prin- gipal stairs are under cover in a hali- way 13 feet wide. Immediately inside the entrance is a vestibule, The build- §ng is thus protected by two sects of doors. Inside the vestibule is a wide danding, with steps going up to the main floor and a longer flight down to the basement. In the basement, and contiguous po the stairway, are the two toilet- iid Each has a shower-bath and locker-space in addition to the usyal Bixtures. The central portion of the hew basement is occupied by a sup- per-room. Off this is the kitchen, which is 20 feet by 13 feet. The ser- vice of food from kitchen to supper- m is over a counter, which cin » closed off when not in use. +The north end of the basement, used for the gymnasium, is 41 feet b 28 feet. To get sufficient height lor the gymnasium, it runs up through the next storey. This gives 8 ceiling 22; feet high. The floors of the gynasium, supper-room and atchen are red birch on top of a ncrete foundation. The toilet-roonis fone finished cement floors. 'Under the new transept addition fo the church is placed the boiler- foom, in which there is a boiler large hough to steam heat all the build- ings. A new boiler smoke-stack was built alongside the boiler. A system of low pressure steam heating has been installed in both the old and new parts of the building. On the middle floor of the school- house part is the following accom- modation. At the southwest corner is the vestry. Off this there is a private toilet-room, also a coat-and- gown closet. Adjoining it is a robing and music room for the use of the choir. In the southeast corner is a large Bible class-room, 27 feet by 24 feet, which can be divided by ac- cordion doors. Next to this is the ladies' parlor, 21 feet by 16 feet, This central part of the new building on this flat is used for a lécture-room, This room is 41 feet by 274 feet and is connected to the old church audi- torium by means of the large sliding doors that were retained, thus enab- ling its use as an overflow from the church auditorium. Adjoining both the ladies' parlor and the lecture-room is a kitchenette, 12 feet by 11 feet, with ventilation by fan and duct to a vent flue. The upper flat of the Sunday School building is principally occu- pied by the main school-room, which is 72 feet by 40 feet, with a ceiling 15 feet 6 inches high. The platform is placed on the west side. Around the other three walls are fifteen class rooms, or alcoves, formed by sliding doors. These class-rooms are lighted by outside windows, while the central room is lighted by three large sky-lights, From the northwest corn- er of the school-room, a fire escape, 4 feet wide, gives exit to the ground at the north of the church. In the southeast corner of the upper flat is a large Bible class-room, 271; feet by 24 feet Y inches, subdivided by aes cordion doors into three classsrooms, To the west of the stairway is a class or association room, 19 feet hy 1314 feet, with a brick fire-place in the corner. Adjoining it is a Secre- tary's room, 10 feet by 6'4 feet. The upper stage of the tower is utilized for a class-roam. The floors are nearly all red birch, The general fins ish of the woodwork is in British Columbia fir, stained and varnished, The external treatment of the new transept to the church part neces- sarily follows the style of the old church. The street facade of the Sunday School building is 'treated in a free perpendicular Gothic style. God's Acre Revered as Hallowed Resting-Place Mount Lawn Memorial Park, West of City, Possesses Attributes of Peace and Beauty--Designed in Keeping With Highest Ideals While poets and sages for ages have been struck by the sad equality of death, and have said in sonorous verse or polished sentences how in the City the Dead all men rank as commoners, democracy, really, stopped outside the gates of the old fashioned necropolis. For though its portals did give entry to heart- broken grief, a remembering love that time could not lessen in ardour, it also admitted, and at the same time, the most tragic «. human vanities, ugliness in its most grotesque form, and pitiful contrasts between wealth and poverty which drew distinctions to the very last, Now, however, a saner and more beautiful way has been found, and people of highest feeling: wel- come both for their loved ones and "themselves the establishment of such an abiding place for mortality's hrok- en caskets as the Mount Lawn Mem- orial Park which will lift its emerala acres of peace and loveliness just one mile and a half westward of Oshawa, near Thornton's Corners. In that Memorial Park no mony- ment of 'any kind will lift iself above another. In fact, graves are marked by stones that, while enduring, seem to cling close to the sacred spot where lies some revered father, be- loved mother, or adored wife, sister or child. To the casual eye, "Mount Lawn" is both a mount in its aspiring con- tours that frame in summer green slopes against the far blue of Cana- dian skies, and a lawn truly park- like, beautiful with constant care an precious with blooming shrubs and season-ordered flowers, There is no hint there"of the old horrors that made children fearful of passing the place where their ances- tors--perhaps including one that loved them, very dearly--were inter- red. No phantom gleams of ill-carved stones in the blackness of funeral cedars, no horror of ill-kept, sunken graves or the pitiful neglect of stag- gering memorials marking unremem- bered dust, Nor will any of these ever Mount Lawn Memorial Park is 2 of much be, an v endowed cemetery or, as is so bheauti- fully called in England, God's Acre, Out of the purchase price of 'each lawn covered plot a certain amount is set aside as a trust fund, in per. petuity, insuring the careful upkeep and constant beautification of its acres which seem to smile wistfully es Bo THE HIGH IDEALS OF PREENASONRY ARE EXPRESSED IN THE 1 LINES OF THE | NEW BUILDING AT OSHAWA bi w 'COURSE oF GRIT RG, TY GPG 'STRUCTION to be, and "how true to every fine ideal of the human soul is its sim- plicity of interment. Beautiful gates of field stone will open on the Kingston Highway, tow- ering ia solen.n grace, close examin: ation shows that the stones are set in cellular borders of concrete, and the structure as a whole speaks voice- lessly of permanence and strength. The Memorial Park, is nearly ex- actly midway between Oshawa and Whitby, and the citizens of Ontario County's administrative town have also welcomed the Mount Lawn in- terment plan in large numbers, The lawns are divided into maj sections, bordered by the main dr way. A considerable section of dr way has already been built with addi- tional length being constantly under construction, This road has a solid rock foundation over which the sur- face coat of material as nearly sound- proof as possible will be laid. This type of road goes back for its in- spiration to those built by the eng- inéers of the ancient Roman Em- pire and preserved particularly in the Appian Way outside the Eternal City 'ig to this day, the monu- ments of great Roman families of Republic and Empire days still stand, Lach section of lawn is so laid out that no grave plot within re. quires that the body for interment be carried more than 110 feet from the hearse, Each plot is bordered Ly a four foot pathway, The design of the lawns is such as to create large triangles at the angles of the drive. ways, and these are set out with shrubs which add much wo the beauty of the cemetery. One of the most striking of these floral triangles is situated a short dis- tance within the entrance gates, and its wealth of shrub and flowers has attracted much interest this year, Each side of that particular triangle is 51 feet in length. Other triangles vary in size, In the center developed is or of the first sections oval 80 by 12 fect which will also be set out with heau- tiful shrubs.

This mm be achieved in various ways. Some- times a small artificial podl, 'a rock- ery, a clump of grasses and ferns in an awkward corner will serve the purpose. One of the most successful "nature touches" is provided by the laying down of a meandering. pathway of flags, moss-grown between the in- terstices of the stones, and bordered with overgrowing clumps of suitable flowers and clumps of heather Charm Lies in Irregularity There are many reasops: for. intro; ducing such a decorative effect/in thet. garden.

YOUNG OSHAWA Lakeview Park's Pleasure Resort HE Jubilee Pavilion at Lakeview Park is an attraction which! contributes an important part to the city's reputation as a sumer re- sort. It in fact, which the principal diversions gatherings of Greaten Oshawa diate. The building is constructed of frame, on a concrete foundation, with two large basements at the cast and west ends of the building. In each basement there is provided a furnace room and coal bunker. By installing hot air furnaces in these two furnace rooms the entir€ building can be heated for mwinter use. . The floor plan provides a large dance floor in the centre, with 'rest rooms and cafe at either end. The the centre from and ra- 1s, dancing floor is constructed of maple and measures 42 feet by 118 feet, with promenades about 15 feet wide along the' sides. The exterior of the building is fin- ished with a bright green roof, wea- thered gray walls and cream trim- mings. Mathers & Haldegby, To- ronto, were the architects, and W. J.
