PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 All Oshawa in Gala Attire for G.M. Picnic (Continued From Page 1) perhaps as much fun as the very pic- nic itself. Whitby, Bowmanville and Harmony residents, who were in any way con- nected with General Motors, were well looked after, trips to the lake /being made at 10 o'clock, and 11 o'clock in the morning, and one and two o'clock in the afternoon. Money Had no Value No truer slogan could have been designed to denote the fact that the ' kiddies were guests of the company than that which appeared on the ban- .mer across the road near the en- trance of tie park "The one place in the world where money has no value." Ticket strips, containing passes for ic¢ cream cones, crackley nut, pop, and other "goodies" were issued to every child, and were re- deemed at the special G.M. tent hand- ling that specific class of refresh ment. Through the course of the day by this means, it was estimated that 700 gallons of ice cream were con- sumed by eager youngsters and others never lacking the opportunity to join the former in having a good time. Ice cream cones, to the monstrous number of approximately 40,000 were filled to overflowing, with the frozen sweet substance, and handed out to those with tickets. To estimate the number of auto- mobiles at 'Lakeview Park Saturday would be a task far too absurd to even think of undertaking. Space reserved alone for the parking of these vehicles was entirely filled, and during the day two complete changes were noted in the ranks on the "campus." General Motors police, besides city officials of the police force were at the picnic, and handled | their end of the transportation prob- lem with accuracy, stationing them- selves at all vital points where a dead- lock in traffic was likely to occur. Thus a steady stream of motor buses of all types and models, builds and figures was kept in rotation around the one way road through the park. The line was as bad at night as it was at the time when full "steam" was up, noon. As a splendid feature of the day's success, and a mecca for the child- ren, 'the impromptu "board walk" with its merry-go-round, its ferris wheel, the whip, the midway, the motor boats, and a hundred and one other attractions, maintained suffici- ent energy to keep things in opera- tion until late at night. Courtesy ruled, Children were given rides at the cxpense of the General Motors Company. Midway Attractive Down on the broad beach, near the second dance pavilion, was the mid- way. Hastily erected tents and open booths pitched during the morning or the night before operated their games of skill, or other entertain- ments and were well patronized. Try how you might, it was an extremely difficult thing to knock the cats off the hoard ,or twist the wheel with double the force. it was a peculiar thing if you were the one to win the blanket. And such a program of feature' per- formers. during the day, Crocker's Pony circus displayed the art of perfect animal training to a large crowd, and never failing to receive merited ap- plause for its efforts. was enjoyed by the kiddies. delighted to have the little pony come near them, while the older folks looked on with interest, having witnessed little ponies "doing tricks" in their youth while attending the The attraction was well presented and certainly should be complimented on the excellence of Bill Arnott, talka- tive trickster, also amused with his annual circus. its presentation. Doing ten or twelve shows It certainly They black witty remarks and facetious sayings keeping his audience roaring with laughter during the deliverance of his offering. ; "What funny men. They almost look like gipsies. 1 wonder what they're doing here?" These and many more queries were voiced as the "Strolling Gipsies" perambulated among the prcaickers, Their musical numbers pleased everyone within hearing and showed them to be mas- ters of their arts. A fragment of color was lent the occasion by this series of acts, the extraordinary cos- tumes adding greatly to the general makeup of the actors themselves. Trained Dogs Perform Sixteen trained dogs, supervised by one who evidently knew his business better than anyone could have under such circumstances, brought life, real manifest life, out of those dogs rang- ring in size from a minute to a regular howser. The extent of the life was marvellous to behold. Those dogs knew everything their master wanted them to know. They did as he want- ed them to do, and their antics pro- vided the general assembly with a half hours fine entertainment at dii- ferent intervals of the day. Madame Nevada was, of course, also present, in her little picturesque tent. At General Motors invitation, many sought to find their future guidance in the wisdom of one well up in the art. A constant line was formed in front of the psychic lady's haven of mysticism, and everyone re- marked that they were completely satisfied in the reading Madame Ne- vada gave them. No matter where you went, there was music. No matter what you did, there was music to which vou might time your movements. No matter what you saw, you could discern the bright raiments of one or other of the four bands in attendance. The general calibre of music furnished by the bands at the General Motors Pic- nic could not have been surpassed, Thousands sat at tables or stood lis- tening to one band or another as they played the old airs of Bonnie Scotland, or the folk songs known to so many. Martial strains made a deep impression on many while others were visibly affected by the playing of some well-known classical compo- sition that they knew by heart in the days of their youth. "It could not have been better." So was a chance remark picked up by a reporter as he stood looking into the faces of those enjoying the at- mosphere about him. It certainly could not have been better. Every- body will agree on that point. For vears the General Motors Executive have been striving to attain that which at last has been accomplished. A bigger and better picnic has reach- ed the point where it will be hard for the management to put it across any better. Kitchener Ladies' Band The Kitchener ladies Band, an entirely new treat for citizens of this city, featured the day, This musical organization, the largest ladies' band in Canada, played from the specially constructed bandstand during the af- ternoon and was applauded to the echo at the conclusion of its recital. Not only was Kitchener to have a plume in its hat by sending its best and only ladies band to Oshawa for the biggest day in the year here, but it also despatched another of its town characteristics in the form of the 118th Regiment Band which did it- self justice in the execution of its programs while at the lake. It was appreciated in the extreme by its listeners which at times consisted of many thousands, The 34th Regiment Band of Oshawa Chairman of the Transportation Committee whose efficient work greatly facilitated staging the monster picnic. and the Legion Pipe Band of Oshawa were also on the scene, being well- known by everyone. Their class of programs are known to be of the highest rank, and little need be said in the way in which they are held in esteem by local citizens. Fireworks of High Order And so we come near the end of the little narrative. The daylight and night fireworks were the supreme effort of the program committee to bring a fitting climax to such a celebration, In the afternoon ,about four o'clock, many could be seen hurring towards the ball fields. Upon being ques- tioned ,a number gave forth the in- foramtion that they were informed that "when the guns went off" the daylight fireworks would begin. Al- though the brilliant spectacle as seen at night was not in evidence, an im- pressive program took place. Fol- lowing short sharp explosions, little parachutes bearing flags of all na- tions would be released from a rocket previously fired into the air. Several of these at one time floating in the breeze caused a good deal of favorable comment, and the helter skelter motion made by the kiddies to lay hold of the little favors as they reached earth, showed with what en- thusiasm they greeted the afternoon fireworks. But surpassing by far the afternoon performance, was the evening de- monstration of General Motors fire- works. Rocket after rocket soared into the heavens there to explode and send a myriad of twinkling lights over the black heavens. It was a re- velation At no time previous has the management been so successful in an undertaking of this sort. Each piece of fireworks went off the way it was supposed to go off Each explosion created an atmosphere it should have created. President's Likeness To cap the climax of so great a feature, the likeness of R. S. Mc- Laughlin, president of General Mo- tors of ®amada Limited, was lighted up on a framework in bright colors. The appearance of this was the signal for round after round of applapse from the many witnesses. Following the customary "Good-night" exhibit, the day's work for the executive and the many committees was finished, and a well-earned rest was theirs. Dancing, however, as well as the mid-way, continued until 12 o'clock. George Storgie, winner of the Pon- tiac Special Coach, the prize for the guessing contest, was fortunate in selecting the correct number of miles in the contest, which the coach had run on the treadmill in the tent on King Street, east, Oshawa.

Possibly a major portion of the weight rested on the transportation committee with A. W. Bell as chairman. A Nicoll, general organizer, has carried the brunt of the affair like a stoic. His energetic enthusiasm during the days of preparation for the gala event has been a feature of his good naturedness and willingness to "put the thing across." Mr. Nicoll is supervisor of the Industrial Relations Department of General Motors oi Canada Limited. The Executives pio The grounds committee under the leadership of J. Hamilton. were go- ing strong from two weeks before the picnic until the end of the day itself. Their work was considerably heavy but was managel in such a way that conditions at the Lake justified the efforts of the committee to a re- markable- degree. Every branch of the picnic was in capable hands. The honorary presi- dents were Messrs. R. S. McLaugh- lin, H. A, Brown, W. E. Davis, W. A. Coad, M) N. Gowdy, E. W. Drew, J. H. Beaton, G. W.

Paint Shop, the second section winners, staged a merry battle with Buick Trim before emerging on top, a hitting session in the third stanza when the Paint-men registered five tallies giving them a lead the Trimmers could not overcome, . The victors received $36.00 in merchandise and the runners-up $24.00.

In the annual combat between the Office and Factory staged he- tween the girls at the picnic, fol- lowing the Executive-Superintend- ent burlesque or what you will-- the Office damsels showed that typewriters are mightier than elip- pers, when 'they defeated the Fac- tory by a 14 to 13 score. The Office made certain of their victory early in the fray, when they chalked up nine runs in the second frame, despite the fact that the Factory had eight walks Landed out to them in the very opening stanza. Following these two bumper innings, 'the game was a closely contested affair with two runs in any inning being the max- fmum. The game hd a Ladies' Softball League aspect to a very prominent extent on Saturday with the Office reminding one of Alex Webster's Chevrolets, while the Factory re- sembled Charlie Rowden's Buicks to a like degree. Playing for the Office, however, {in the place of thase who nlay for Chevs, but who do not work in General Motors, were the familiar faces of Kay Wells, Lena Watson and Doris Kil- burn, whose autobiography can be looked up in any Ladies' Softball score book. Fxcept for H.Mzaleoim, the Factorv team also required no introduction. The Office outhit Factory hy 14 to 7 and outfielded them hy 10 to 4, so that there was no question in anyone's mind as to which was the better team It was a good game to watch, however, and over 500 ardent fans saw the duel frome start to finish. The fielding after the first two innings was faust and almost errorless, while a tinge of excitement ran through every play, Lena Watson for the Office and hetter known in a blue 'and black Whitby uniform, along with Vi Crandell, erstwhile shortstop for Buicks, scored three runs apiece to have the merriest time of any around the paths. Bobs Fuiton, Ina Goold, Mabel Elliott, Rosie Reece, Netty Ierguson and Lil Tyrrell all had two runs and some lusty smacks at the ball to their credit, Every player on both teams scored at least once The line ups were: Office--YV.

MANY ACRES OF GRAIN ARE DAMAGED BY HAILSTORM Saskatoon, Aug, 12.--Thousands of acres of grain south of Delisle, on the Goose Lake line, are report- ed damaged from 10 to 100 per cent as the result of a terrific wind and hail storm on Saturday. There was alen some damage to buildings, and trees were uprooted. Remarkable details of the life of Lord Terrington, his hobbies, pas- times, and luxury-loving habits, are given in the following Sunday Ex- press exclusive interview with an intimate friend of Lord Terrington and his former wife, Vera Lady Terrington. This friend, who has often been a guest at the week-end parties given: at Lord and Terrington's beautiful Elizabethan house, Spin- field, on the banks of the Thames at Marlow, and also at their lux- urious town flat in Clarges street, stated: "l have known Lord Terring- ton for many years, and I can say that, apart from his former wite, no one was more amazed than his friends and acquaintances when, two years ago, the crash came which ultimately led to the sequel at the Old Balley last week, when he was convicted for fraudulent convereion to his own use of money entrusted to him by clients, and was sentenced to four yeara' penal servitude. Extravagance "It seemed impossible that this quiet, reserved man, although love of luxury and extravagance were his most noticeable faults, should ever had to face such charges and stand in the dock. "Every one of Lord Terrington's friends, of course, was aware of his vast wealth. His magnificent house on the river, his exquisite flat in Mayfair, his retinue of ser- vants, his limousines, his yacht, his lavish, though discreet, dinner parties at Clarges street, and weeg- end house parties on the river all pointed to a total disfegard for money, "It was taken for granted, how- ever, that these were the posses- sions and privileges of a man with 'money to burn,' and with a highly euccessful law practice behind him, "We all knew of his wonderful! | connections as a solicitor, the | wealthy clients for whom he acted, {and their implicit trust and faith in him in the management of their affairs. Lord Terrington was a | successful man, | "Lord Terrington was not a man who made friends freely. He is a | typical Yorkshireman; reserved, | blunt--sometimes in an argument, | hardheaded--but steadfast in [those friendships he chose tn es tablish. It took even his intimarn friends years to hecome on really familiar terms with him. "The most remarkahle thing about him, despite his lavish ex- penditure, was his dislike of what he often called 'the detestable life of the West End.' The whirl of the London season and its hectle pleasures never attracted hin. He lunched at the same table at the Ritz Hotel every day for five years, but IT do not think he ever once attended a cabaret or a public so- cial function. Thought Hunting Crucl "Nor did the popular pastimes pursued by other men in his social circle appeal to him. He never played polo, and although passion- ately fond of animals he rarely at- tended a horse race, and never hunted. He and his former wife both had rooted objections to the local meets, for hunting In any form they considered cruel in the extreme, "Both, however, owned horses, and they would often take a canter across the beautiful Berkshire countryside on Pharoh and Cherry Boy, as their favorite hacks were affectionately nicknamed. They were very happy together, these two. "There is no doubt Terrington lived at a tremendous rate, spending between $100,000 and $150,000 every year. "His expenditure was always for personal comfort and clothes and hospitality, rather than for the so- cial whirl. "His was a home slife-- but an expensive one. The cellars were of the finest; royal visitors sat at their magnificent table, load- ed witht he choicest foods, and waited upon by swift-footed servi- ors. "Lord 'Terrington had twenty- eight indoor servapts, ten garden- ers, magnificent motor cars, sever- al chauffeurs, and a graceful yacht, which was kept moored just below the house at Marlow Lock. Spinfield was rebuilt sonre years ago to Lord Terrington's own de- sign. The imposing lounge hall, rich in art treasures, antiques, and priceless curios, is like the en- trance to a palace, and in the apartments which lead from this, luxury and good taste abound on all sides. A magnificent staircase leads to the first landing, and the bedrooms are arranged Italian style around a balcony. Roman Bathroom "As an example of the grandeur of the appointments in this wonder- ful house, I can recall no better illustration than the Roman bath- room. It was fit for the ablutions of an emperor. The whole struec- ture was transported by Lord Ter: rington from Italy and installed at Spinfield at a tremendous cost. It is of the sunken variety, carried out in black marble, with silver- plated fittings. bathroonr are of buff lighting soft and screens of handpainted glass. Rows of crystal bowls contained perfum- ed bath salts for the use of guests, and scented water gushed from the mouths of two lions fashioned in silver when the concealed taps were manipulated. "Lord 'Terrington would often laugh about his bills when the tradesmen got restless. 'What are a few thousands,' he would say. He would put off payment till the last possible minute, but no one paid that Lord Lord Terrington Lavish in Habits much attention to this, as every- everything and nothing less was his policy for his guests. He uaa his first wife were great frienas of Prince and Princess Andrew of Russia, and parts of the interior decorations of the house are gifts from the Princess. They came from, and represent some of the re- trieved treasures of, the Russian court. "I have never seen hin rush about or take things any way but leisurely. Even his trips abroad were quiet affairs, and as for his visits to Monte Carlo--a morning bathe, a quiet and protracted lunch, and a motor ride along the Corniche road were about all the events that filled his day. He rare- ly gambled; he thought it waste of money! Chief Pastime "Apart from the pleasure he de- rived from giving wonderful house parties, his main pastime was read- ing. He had a splendid library, and he read anything from modern novels to ponderous works of her- aldy. Lord Terrington was fond of wireless, and had a set installed at Spinfield that cost hundreds of pounds. : 'His favorite item was the ser- mon broadcast from St. Martin-in- the-flelds on Sunday. He often re- marked he would not miss it for worlds. Even when he had guests he would retire to the library and listen in to this itemnr. '""The Thames Yacht Club, of which he was a member, was one of his favorite rendezvous when he was on the river. He seldom took his elegant eraft, the last word in luxury seacraft, out beyond the mouth of the Thames. XRayed "There is no doubt Lord Terring- ton is a sick man. Years ago the doctors told him that his heart was in a grave condition, and that al- though he might last for years there was the possibility that he might fall dead at any moment. He has been X-rayed and had cardiac photographs takem by dozens of specialists. "I have known the local doctor from Marlow brought over in the middle of the night when Lord Ter- rington has thought he was about to die. 1 have seen him have an attack at dinner. He would just sway, turn a "purpley' color and say: 'I've got a heart again!' "Then his wife would break be- neath his nostrils the respiration phiale, which were always kept handy, and after a while he would recover." -- / NEW TEACHING OF GEOGRAPHY London, Aug. 13.--More ana more the British Association an- nual meeting is becoming related to life as it is lived outside the professor's class room Or study. The - provisional program for the meeting in Glasgow fronr Septem- ber 5-12, reveals many subjects which are of vital interest to the national welfare. Take the case of geography. In Scotland this subject is taught more on old-fashioned lines than in England. -The universities in Scotland thought that it would be a good opportunity to have as president of the geographical sec- tion a man of the highest standing who had applied geography as an {Illuminating factor to his own spe- cial subject. Therefore Professor J. L, Myres, author of that brilliant treatise, "The Dawn of History," has been elected to address the geographical section on "Ancient Geography in Modern Education." Later on there is to be a discussion on the teaching of geography in Scotland, and doubtless there will be sug- gestions as to how the subject can be applied to the study of races, commercial developments and trade. There should be light thrown on an important phase of industry in the discussion between the eco- nomists and psychologists on "The Nature and Present Position of Skill in Industry." The confer- ence of delegates of corresponding societies which will listen to Dr, Vaughan Cornish on "The Preser- vation of Scenic Beauty in Town and Country" ought to secure ven- tilation of the urgent question of regional planning. 0.

NEW CANTERBURY HEAD IS FACING * GREAT PROBLEMS London, Aug. 13.--Special and immense responsibilities await Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Arche bishop of York, when he assumes the Archbishropic of Canterbury in November in succession to Most Rev. Randall Davidson. Chief among these problems of course ig the revised prayerbook, in the light of recent events. Dr. Lang has always been a cone vinced upholder of Dr. Davidson's proposals, which were lately so de finitely turned down by the House of Commons. He is an out-and-out opponent of making easier the wiy of divorce, too. In the matter of church ceremonial he possibly po-- sesses a personal preference for a somewhat elaborate form of wore ship, although he would probabls be as willing to don a Geneva gown as a chasuble if the former wera more to the liking of his congrezi. tion. For exactly 20 years, Dr. Lang has been head of the Northern Province. He was appointed upon the resignation of Dr. Maclagan, and went to York after several years as Bishop-Suffragan of Sti j- ney. In this latter office he wus the deputy in the East End or 1 nn. don for Dr. Winnington Ingram, Previously he was Vicar of Portscag where the incumbent has a reci- ment of curates, and which is ways regarded as a stepninz-=ton to the Episcopal Bench. ¥Xarlie: ha was Vicar of the famous =*, Mo church at Oxford--Iit is now exact ly 100 years ago since Car. Newman was vicar of St. \M Still earlier Dr. Lang was curu*" Leeds--another place which produced many a Bishop The Archbishop-Elect of bury, therefore, has haa thorough preparation for sumption of the chief office in the Anglican hierarchy. It rather curious to remember that both Dr. Davidson and Dr. Lang are sons of the Scottish Manse. Dr. Lang was born at Fyfie, in Aberdeens shire, in 1864, and his aged father, the Very Rev. Dr. John Marshall Lang, and his mother, were hoth present at his enthronemrent in York Minster in 1908. The Arche bishop-to-be was educated at Glase gow University, and proceeded to Balliol, Oxford. Later he took a course of law at the Inner Temple, London. Of 'the Archbishop's unus=uaf qualifications for the high office he is now called upon to assume there can be no question, It is sure ly many centuries since there was a time in the affairs of the church of England when ripe experience and sound judgment were m needed in the successor of Sf, Augustine, Archbishop Lang 64 years old but shows him:el still possessed of a full measur of bodily health and strength is a noted speaker. Dr. Lang has dlways maintaine an intense interest in Canada. Not long before he was translated to the Archbishropie of York, Dr, Lang was offered the Archbishops ric of Montreal.
