In Olden Times An old prescription book dating back to 1867, hi Jury & Lovell first began issuing prescriptions, is on display, with a record of every prescription issued by the firm dur ing its history, An old mortar, used for grinding up solids used in pre- scriptions, is there, alongside a mod- ern retort, capsule filler, and a tube filling machine, Several drugs both in refined form and as they are col- lected from the herbs and plants, are also shown, and the window is, on the whole, an interesting exhibit, De Lu LJ - § WEATHERMAN Fotidrivioiriviviivib drill October turned my maple's leaves to gold; The most are gone now; here and there one lingers; Soon these will slipfromout the twig's weak hold Like coins between a dying miser's fingers, This is October--the opal month of the year and the month of glory and ripeness--the picture month. October is the month for painted leaves--as fruits and leaves, and the day itself, acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year, near its setting, October is the sunset sky of the year, and November is its later twilight, Passing along the lovely lanes which lead to and from Oshawa, one sees the glory of the forests, now, the finished picture of the artist Nature, who has dabbed the maples and the oaks with his giant brush, Nothing more glorious than a Canadian autmun--the time of joy as one to roam the quiet lanes and by-paths which lead to pleasant doors of tiny cottages. Calm breezes sing beside these open doors, and on the step a youthful mother dreams, crooning a lullaby to wee babe, nestled" on her breast, waiting, when day swings low a manly step adown the walk where lilac blossoms nod, and the hours sing to her tunes of home and bliss and in her heart is happiness and love, O'er hill and dale October's glories fade O'er hill and field the blackbirds southward rly, Motoring in one of the giant contraptions which has made Osh- awa famous one to note the scenery of an Ontario autumn, The mystery of women--the signboards all along the pavement tell the story--that charm about women--the reason men fall in love with them, and all that kind of thing, Gage out on the coming sign- board---it pictures pink lingerie in a patural setting--a very charmng picture--very charming indeed. Another signboard goes by-- screaming silk hosiery to the world --illustrated, of course. Comes still another signboard-- a dozen or two of them in the next few miles, advertising--step-ins-- for milady's toilet--chemises-- re- move superfluous hair -- banish freckles--don't wear a truss---the daintiest fabrics--garters -- knee rouge--perfumes that atiract--for milady's boudoir-- abolish skin blemishes--regain your girlish fig- ure--that schoolgirl complexon-- the skin you love to touch--mys- tery--indeed--the only mystery left after reading the signboards is the beautiful panorama that awaits the eye at the top of yonder hill. Climatically speaking, the weath- er promises to continue nice and warm, with a few showers here and there and anon. Just a little more than two months to Christmas, and the 0X furnace hasn't properly got its stride yet. J Yonder, in the farmyard, is the lordly gobbler awaiting the axe for the Thanksgiving day dinner. The Oshawa Public Library opens this week, after being decor- ated and enlarged, and soon a new mystery will be unfolded when they discover 2 man's nose buried in a D ze upon 4d of motor cars at the General Motors--once upon a time the workman brought his lunch in a tin can, but now he brings himself to work in one.

W. Smith to the Board of Education last night. t This is the first year in which the school attendance officer of this city has been able to wake a complete check-up of children un- der 16 years entering the Collegi- ate Institute. Formerly his atten- tion has been entirely taken up with public school pupils, but now he has widened his field of duty to the Collegiate, to see that ull children of the city within the age required by the Department of Education, are attending school regularly. The Report Mr, Smith's report for Septem? ber was: "Seventy-five pupils were re- ported to me for non-attendance; each case was investigated and 1e- ported upon, "Employment certificates were issued for 16 boys and & girls; Home permits to 1 boy, (temporar- ily) and 6 girls, "*All successful entrance candi- dates of the city public schools have heen accounted for after checking the roll, and are now en- rolled at the Collegiate with the exception of 9 individuals where it was found, after thorough investi- gation, expedient to grant employ- ment certificates to 8 boys, and home permits to 4 girls, There are two cases pending the decision of the judge of the Juvenile Court, Avoid Over-lapping "During the month a conference was held at the ciiy offices with the public health staff, Mr, Can- non, the Supervising Principal and myself, Several matters pertaining to the attendance, especially half- day absenieeitm, and arrangements made to avoid any possible chances of overlapping visits by nurse and attendance officer, "The Home. and School Club council have heen approached with reference to continuing the supply of second hand clothing, boots, and shoes, ete, and the matter will be discussed at their October meeting, and no doubt this will be carried on much the same as last year, In this connection I wish to ask for permission 'to use one of the store- rooms in the basement of one of or South Simcoe for these sup- plies."

Dramatic Offerin~ Scenes from "The Mill on the Floss," by George Eliot. were en- acted by Patricia Kelly, as Mageie, and Glendon James as Tom. under the direction of Mr. Robinson. This dramatic offering was par- tienlarly for the children but was well presented and proved interest- ing and entertaining to every mem¥ ber present. Life is also like a game of bridge, and, at the end the bid is one spade. But--the meteorlogical outlook is not so bad--mostly fair and quite" warm--for October. It'll soon be Christmas and then spring won't be far around the corner--+that's optimism. Meanwhile--some sunshine and some clouds. It's really too fine today. This is what the old weather- wise chaps call a "breeder"-- breeding a rain storm. No white frost this morning. Summer has come again.

WHITBY Representative--)AMES HOLDEN Phone, House 15---Office 434 | Observed in in Small Fire Loss -- Splendid Equipment and Fine Volunteer Fire De- partment Responsible for This -- Insurance Rats a Tribute to Fire Brigade's Efficiency (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 9--In commefi with other municipalities throughout the Dominion, this week is being obser ved as Fire Prevention week in Whithy, Citizens arc urged to take to a minimum. Fire Chicf Smith urges all chimneys to he clean- ed out to remove the danger of chim- ney fires caused, usually, 'by soot. Merchants are requested to remove any rubbish such as boxes, paper, straw and waste which may have ac- cumulated in their cellars. These articles are very inflammable and lend themselves readily to the spread of flames. Simple Precautions There are numerous which each houscholder may take to insure his home or garage from fire. Matches should he kept hidden from children, highly inflammable substan- ces such as gasoline and coal oil must be kept in air tight containers. Oily rags and waste used for clean- ing purposes should he stowed away in metal boxes or cans Inspect Premises The fire department makes an in- spection of buildings to see that they are properly constructed with respect to chimneys, hot-air: pipes and so forth. A stove pipe in close proxim- ity to a wall or partition is often the cause of a devastating conflagration as, becoming over-heated, it in turn over-heats the wall near which it stands. This menace is removed by the simple cxpedient of protecting the wall with a sheet of metal. Chim- neys which are not properly support- ed are also a common cause of house fires. The brick-work tends to crack making openings through which sparks and flames may escape. Fire Protection Whithy is fortunate having splendid fire protection. A short time ago the town council saw fit to purchase modern fire fighting appara- tus including a high pressure motor pumper and a smaller chemical truck at a cost of $10,200. An adequate system of water mains with hydrants at convenient intervals offers improy- ed facilities for fighting the most serious blaze Volunter Brigade Such equipment, no matter how ex- pensive or complete it might be, would be inadequate were it not for the town's splendid volunteer brig- ade, consisting of twenty-four men and headed by Chief William Smith, who has at his command an exper- jence gained in forty years of fight- ing fires of many types. The spirit of the brigade is highly commendable and in the last few alarms it has been ascertained that the firemen have left for the scene of the conflagration within. a minute or a minute-and-a- half from the time the firebell rang. wv, The brigade has sustained the re- cord during the last twenty-five years of confining any local blaze in the precautions to reduce the fire hazard | Wn | precautions Fire Prevention Week Whitby and Precautions are Urged) Toww Has Envizble Record] building in which it started, This skill in fire fighting has saved thé existence of the town's business dis- trict on more than one occasion when the flames threatened to leap from building to building spreading de- vastation in their wake. Practical application of the fire protection afforded property owners of Whitby is found in the insurance underwriters' rates for residential dwellings, with first class roofs, which compare favorably to those establish- ed in Toronto, NO LOAFING NOW ON POST OFFICE STEPS AT WHITBY Politics and Gossip Discuss ed Elsewhere Since His Majesty Interfered (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 9.--The post office steps appear singularly deserted these days in eomparison to what they have been for years, when they were the roosting place for people, young and old. The reason for their desertion is found in a small sign posted in a congpicuous place declaring to all subjects of His Majesty that loafing in Domin- jon buildings is an offence punish- able by a fine not to exceed $50, Gossip Centre There was a day, not so long ago, when the steps, which com- mand a prominent position over- looking the town's main business section, seemed to offer an invita- tion to stand upon them. Here politics, ranging from the muniei- pal brand and up, were discussed, leaders were praised or upbraided, reforms championed or ridiculed. The post offic: steps were a gaih- ering place for local gossip and seemed to in some measure sup- plant the community well, which, the old timers clair, at one time stood at this same intersection.

W. Drew and H. S. Smith members of the Oshawa Board of Education, ex- pressing the sympathy of the Board in the their recent severe ill- nesses, will be written by secretary J. A. McGibbon on instruction of the Board last night. Trustee Drew, who is chairman of the manage- ment committee, and Trustee Smith, chairman of the finance committee, have been confined to their homes for some time with rather severe illness. The property committee was em- powered to purchase 240 school desks, at a cost of $1,700, and 7 teachers desks, and chairs at a cost of $252, to furnish the addition to Ritson Road school just completed, and 50 science stools for the Col- legiate Institute. The, principal's room at Mary street school will he decorated at a cost of $150. Grading work will be done on the grounds at Ritson Road school, and a concrete walk will be put in at a total cost of $1,000, and the grounds of Simcoe street south, King street, Cedardale and Centre street schools will also he graded.

The impact of the collision sent both cars into the ditch and Mrs. Palmar received injuries which required medical at- tention.

New Building Will Be Used for Technical School Pur- poses and Relieve Conges- tion By Removal of Com- mercial Classes -- To- ronto Architect's Plans to Be Revised -- Committee Appointed to . Supervise Erection --The Provincial Grant to Take Care of Half the Cost A technical school was assured for Oshawa last 'night, when the Board ot Education, in regular session, de- finitely decided to erect the school, named S. B. Coone & Sons, Toronto, architects oi the building, and ap- pointed a building committee, to have charge of its erection, The building is expected to cost about $200,000. Three reports were submitted by the advisory vocational committee, the chairman of which is A. W. Beil, and all of these were accepted with- out material amendment by the Board. The final report, recommend- ing the actual construction of the school, was: "The committee recommends that the board proceed with the erection of an addition to the Collegiate Insti- tute for Technical school purposes, "That Messrs. S. B, Coone & Sons, submitted, be appointed architects for the proposed addition to the Colle- giate for technical school purposes on the terms aforesaid, "That a joint building committee be appointed forthwith by the Chair- man of the Board." Revise Plans The terms under which S. B. Coone & Sons accepted the appointment as architects of the technical school here were, first, that they put on a resi- dent full-time gualified inspector on the contract job at their own ex- pense; second, that the final tender price shall not vary from the archi. tect's estimate in excess of five per- cent, otherwise the appointment of the architect is nullified. Although S. B. Coone & Sons were appointed architects, their plans as submitted to the Board were not ac- cepted in entirety, in fact a rccoms mendation of the advisory vocational committee that all plans submitted for the construction of the building be rejected, was carried. The plans submitted by the successful firm of architects will have to undergo some revisions, to meet the requirements of both the local Board of Education and the provincial department, and until these revisions are made satis- factorily the plans will not be de- finitely accepted by the board, Keen Competition Six architects, three in Oshawa and three outside of this city, submitted plans for the proposed building: C, C. Stenhouse, Thomson & Johnson and Roy Bishop being the local firms, and J. T. Hornsby, Lindsay; S. B. Coone & Sons and Mr. Sparling, To- ronto, being the outside architects, A member of each of the six firms addressed the committee, and after several sessions, the committee nar- rowed the competition to C. C. Sten- house, S. B. Coone & Sons, 'and Thomson & Johnson, The plans of these three architects were then taken to Toronto by a committee comprising T. B. Mitchell, chairman of the Board of Education; A. W. Bell, chairman of the advisory vocational committee, and C. 'N Henry, 3 member of the committee. Full Inguiry This sub-committee waited upon the department of education and then consulted with them regarding the choice of architects. The secretary of the board also wrote to the Boards of Education oi Sarnia, Kitchener, St. Catharines and St. Thomas to ascer- tain if the work done in these cities by S. B. Coone & Sons had been sat- isfactory and aiter these deliberations the committee decided upon the ap- pointment of the firm, under the terms later agreed to by the com- pany. Provincial Grant i By commencing the erection. of the technical school here before the end of the year, the Board will be able to collect a grant of the department of education, of hali the cost of the structure, or approximately $100,000, leaving a balance of about $100,000 for the city to bear. Chairman Mit- chell repeated last night his previous assertion that an addition of some kind will bave to be made at the Col- legiate, at a probable cost (of $80,000, in any case, and by spending an ad- ditiopak $20,000 the city will have a fine technical school, This will re- lieve the congestion in the Collegiate by removing the commercial classes to the mew building, and allow sev- eral additional rooms for academic work. y Building Committee : The building committee responsible for the proper erection of the school is composed of the chairman of the board, T. B. Mitchell; chairman of the advisory vocational committee, A. W. Bell; chairman of the property committee, G. B. Norris, and trustees A. F. Annis and Rev.

Albert Smith, liv- ing In one-half of a cottage at Lakeview Park, was convicted of assaulting his immediate neighbor; W. T. Amekile, living in the other part of the house, and fined $5 and costs. The case occupied most of the morning, and couyt adjourned until two a'eclock this afternoon, a number of other cases being on the docket. Not Sound-Proof As told by crown witnesses, five in number, the misunderstanding occurred on the evening of October 2. at the double home of the com- plainant and the accused, at Lake- view Park. It- all originated, it appears, from a musical selection being played by Donald Smith, friend of the complainant, at the home of the latter, Mr. Albert Smith is quite able to cateh the least sound in his section of the house, that originates in Mr. Ame- kilds residence. A friend of Al- bert 'Smith, George Norrish, was visiting at Mr. Smith's house om the evening in question and hav- ing stayed until quite late in the evening, decided to depart, and in so doing caused a rather sudden disturbance in giving his knees a violent slap and emitting an un- usual noise. This latter caused Mr. Amekile to call through the partition hetween the two houses, requesting that the noise cease im- mediately. Smith Wants Bout A sharp retort by Albert Smith brought forth the answer frony Mr, Amekile that if Mr. Smith did- n't like to obey his demands he might "meet him outside." Sa the two parties in question, with thei» backers, prockéded to the rear en- trances, where, it was alleged, via- lent proceedings ensued, in com- pany with several rather out of the ordinary expressions, Mr, Amekile was supposed to have heen rough- ly pulled around the verandah, and naturally enough, demanded an apology through the court of jus tice. The courts gave him this, but upheld that he should not have encouraged Mr. Smith to meef him outside and there to ¥epeat what he had sald through the par- tition to the effect that "He didn't care -a heel." Figuring in the case as crown witnesses were Mr. Amekile, Mrs. Amekile, D, Smith, Mrs. D. Smith, and a neighbor, while Albert Smith, George Norrish, "and Mrs. Smith, appeared to testify for the defend- ant, Frank Ebbs was counsel for Mr. Amekile and A. N, 8.
