There is only one other exhibit of art pottery but this is one being made by Mr. H. H. French, a return- ed soldier and pupil of.the Toronto Technical School, who is displaying his handiwork. The exhibit of the Oshawa firm oec- cuplies gidcase in the Women's Bulld- ing and™ncludes specimens of vases, inlaid work , jardinieres, cups and mugs, all of which have been manu- factured in this town. This is the first time that the Ontario Potteries have made a showing at the Cana- dian National Exhibition and all Osh- awa people who attend the fair should not fail to visit this case, of Oshawa's infant industries. The Ontario Potteries recently purchased the fine building on King Street West formerly occupied as the Reid Garage. At the present time they are engaged In renovating the establishment to suit their needs and in erecting kilns. There are between fifteen and twenty men emplo! now in putting in the foundations for two kilns. It is the intention of the company to erect seven kilns, tthe other five to be constructed early | next spring. | When the two kilns which are now | being built are finished the Ontario | Potteries will employ between thirty {and forty hand while next ummer, {after the completion of the seven | kilns, about 90 persons will be engag- {ed at the plant.

THIS YEAR First Showing of Art Pottery which displays the products of one] Local Photographer Wins Distinction Quite an honour was accord- ed to Mr, D, Campbell, of Campbell's Studios, by the To- ronto Camera Club, who con- trol the photographic exhibits in the Salon of Photography, Graphic Arts Building, of the Canadian National Exhibition, Thousands of photographers from all over the world submit their best pertraits for display and from these specimens the Toronto Camera Club select the pictures they consider the best from a photographic stand- point, Prominently displayed among many @gceptionally good piec- tures are two photogravures from Campbell's Stuido. One of these is a study of Mr, M, D, Bergey, of Oshawa, and the other a pleasing pose of Miss Juanita Bergey. Four years ago Mr. Campbell also had a picture of his included in the exhibit, but at that time there was not the same competition, as the war was not over and many artists from foreign lands were not competing.

I believe all the birds in Oshawa with the happy exception of the sparrows, congregate at the golf links," stated Mr. Thomas Hender- son, secretary of the Oshawa. Golf R.S.

The expense would be small, the grounds would offer ideal communities for birds and the de- partment says that success is sure.
