It has been decided to re- vise and reprint 'On the Shores of Scugog." This book has now been out of print - for a number of years, 'and -. frequent requests have been made for it. In order that the record may be as accurate as possi- ble, we are asking the help of the people of this com- munity. Many of the older residents have copies of the early edition of the book and may have discovered some error in the work, or noted the omission of some impor- tant fact. The editor would greatly appreciate any infor- mation that will add to the value of the book. Such in- formation will, of course, be most valuable if sent in at once. Delay may make it too late to be of use in the re- vision. AB The intention is to bring this history of Port Perry and vicinity as nearly ats date as is suitable. Several new chapters are being added "including one on Early Social Life, and another on The Development of Agriculture, Mention will be made of the part taken by our young men in the Great War; the "building of the skating rink, the development of the water front, the erection of the post office, and other evi- dence of progress-=in this community.

RALPH R, MOWBRAY, PIONEER OF PICKERING TP "| PASSED AWAY IN BROOKLIN. increas¥fng infirmities, borne with! sweet Christian fortitude and patience, | one of the pioneers of Pickering town- ship, Victoria Amelia Nutting, beloved wife of Ralph R. Mowbray, passed to her eternal rest at her home in Brook- lin on Thursday, September 28th, The ngws of the passing of Mrs. Mowbray was received with widespread regret by the hosts of close friends of Mrs. |. Mowbray throughout the entire dis- trict, for her great capabilities for friendship, and her years of self- sacrificing work in her church, she had endeared herself to an extensive circle of neighbours and acquaintances, Born in 1851 in Cressy, Prince Ed- ward County, daughter of Dr. N. H. Nutting and his wife, Susan Bongard, of United Empire Loyalist descent, Mrs, Mowbray lived for 56 years in Pickering township, and was active in many spheres of community service. Five years ago, with her husband, she moved to Brooklin, where they lived eyer since. Her life was an ex- ample to all who came into contact with her, and she leaves behind a great company of friends who will miss her. Mrs. Mowbray was a member of the United Church, and one of her chief characteristics was her deep interest in religious affairs, Her religion meant everything to her, and she was the teacher of the Bible Class of her beloved church at Kinsale for many years, She was also president of the; first Women's Institute in South On- tario, a position which she held for many years, and in which she led the organization in many useful projects of community service. Mrs. Mowbray was also a member of the Upper Can- ada Bible Society and took a keen interest in its activities, Her influence was always wielded on the side of charity and loving service for others. She was very widely read, par ticularly in matters pertaining to religion and missionary effort, and was able to speak with authority on almost any literary subject. In her 81st year, Mrs. Mowbray wrote, with her own hand, a compre- hensive and enjoyable historical re- view of the people and activities of the village of Kinsale and the sur- She was a beauti- ful writer, and the manuscript of this volume, which was published and evoked widespread interest and many favorable coments, was a godel of penmanship, In her early life, Mrs. "Mowbray taught school -at Shirley, in Reach Township, and it was there she met her husband and partner," whose joys and sorrows she had shared .fo¥ almost sixty years. Mrs, Mowbray is survived by her husband; two daughters, Mrs. R. S. 'McLaughlin, of Oshawa; and Miss Louella Mowbray, who lived at home with her mother in recent years, and by three sons, Frank Mowbray, of Hamilton; Roy Mowbray, of Kinsale; and Ralph IE. Mowbray, reeve of Pick- ering township, on the old family homestead. One sister, Mrs. E, L Harrison, of Cressy, Ont., also sur- vives. Two other children predeceased her, a son who passed away early in life, and a daughter, the late Mrs. W. R. Agar, of Brooklin, who died two years ago. The funeral service was held. in Brooklin United Church on Saturday, September 80, at 2 p.m., and will be followed by interment in Groveside Cemetery, near Brooklin, -- oO ---- LEAD ALL DOMINION FOR FIRE PREVENTION 3rd SUCCESSIVE YEAR For the third year in. succession, Oshawa has won the handsome shield, emblematic of the highest honours in the Dominion of Canada in fire pre- vention activities. Announcement' of the winning of this distinction was made by Lt.-Col, B. J. McCormick, secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce, at a meeting of the directors of that body held recently, the directors being enthusiastic in their congratula- tions to the fire department and to the members of the special fire pre- vention committee which has been in charge of these activities firing the last year. BE es an a ie- NEW CHURCH HAS GROUP IN OSHAWA ; An enterprising, ambitious and far- | sighted group of Oshawa' Polish pop- ulation have recently decided to form their own individual religious group and for this purpose an Oshawa branch of the National Polish Catholic Church has been organized, The first service of the new denomination was held on Saturday at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, through the courtesy of Rev, 8. C, Jarrett. WHY NOT SAME POLICY? A week or two ago we expressed regret that the liquor issue was again to be injected into provincial politics. After several years of illness and This feeling has been intensified by the announcement from Mitchell Hep- burn' that the Liberal Party is also considering a beer and wine plank of some kind in its platform, This makes it doubly sure that in the next election there will be more talk of beer and wine than of the really im- portant matters of provincial ad- ministration, Public opinion in Ontario is bound to re-act against having anotheér liquor campaign in a provincial election, be- cause that one issue beclouds all others. Yet, as we see it, there is only one way in which that can be avoided. Mitchell Hepburn can, if he will, kill the beer and wine issue as an election factor, All he has to do is to adopt exactly the same beer and wine plat- form as Premier Henry, and there will be nothing to argue about. And the people of Ontario would be so greatly relieved that they would take a much keener interest in the things which really matter. --OQOshawa Daily Times. = «ee OLD CITIZEN OF OSHAWA PASSES A link with the past history of Oshawa was broken this week when the death of James Gall, 248 Celina Street, took place. Mr, Gall, who was in his 85th year was born in Scotland and came to Oshawa as a baby; and lived in the city during practically the 'whole of his lifetime except for a short period when he lived with his family in St. Thomas, The late Mr Gall was one of the, leading contract- ors in Oshawa, having constructed Albert Street and Mary Street Schools ds well as the Old City Hall and many other buildings. He was a member of Lebanon Masonic Lodge, being one of the original members and. connected with the order for over fifty years. -- ee ete FAREWELL SUMMER by Molly Bevan Now broods a silver silence, o'er the lake, : The faithless birds have sought a kinder sky, Leaf-carpets mute the fall of search- ing feet, A single, white-armed birch tree waves "Good-bye." Yet, from the ashes of the garden's pride, In golden triumph marigolds appear, The smouldering embers of a former flame To light the lovely gloaming of the year. EPSOM A very pleasant time was spent last Saturday afternoon, Sept. 30th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, 6th Concession of Reach, it being the cele- bration of the 80th birthday of Mr. Pascoe Luke, of Epsom, and 76th birthday of his sister Mrs, Avery of Cannington, The guests numbered about fifty, and were from Toronto, Oshawa, Sonya, Wick, Cannington, Greenbank, Orillia and Pinedale. . The afternoon was spent in renewing old acquaintances. A bountiful supper was served in Mrs. McDonald's dining room which was tastefully decorated with flowers, after which toasts and speeches were made. In the evening the guests departed for their homes having spent a very enjoyable after- noon. We hope Mr. Luke and Mrs. Avery may live to see many more birthdays. ., - a oar Prince Albert The Young People's League was re- organized on Thursday night, Sept. 28th, Rev.

Man- chester seeming so much nearer for those who had to walk. than Utica, The program of music, recitations, speeches and stump speeches put on by the different schools was most in- teresting, showing earnest work by the teachers. The display of work in the hall was also interesting but the time given for the examination of this display is too short, to be seen by all, as there was large a attendance from the different' school sections. - Mr and Mrs. J.

For nearly one third of this time Mrs. Sellers has been a resident of this village, she and her husband Mr. W. Sellérs mov- ing here from their farm near Epsom.

The Whitby Town Council has de- cided to establish a municipal "wood pile in the town yard, and all men on relief who apply for fuel this winter beginning right away, will have to cut it. Only in cases where a member of a family is not -able either through infirmity or otherwise to cut wood will an exception be made. Those who are able to cut wood will be required to cut it for those who 'are not. "It is also announced that transients who are the guests of the town at nights will have to do a little sawing before they get-a meal ticket from the chief constable. At the Town Council meeting last woek the question of furnishing wood instead of coke and coal was discussed and the prevailing opinion was that by substituting dry hardwood and getting the mén to cut it the town would save hundreds of dollars this winter in fuel costs. The Relief Committee was authorized to get prices on hardwood by the cord, in four-foot lengths, de- livered at the town yard, On Friday evening tenders were opened for the wood and a contract awarded to James Satvdon for 200 cords at $8, 00 a cord delivered in the town Byars, In a fow Says. therefore, CAWKER BROS. yp -- -------------- oi MEER OGD Port Perry Daify PASTEURIZED MILK | You Pay the Price--why not Get the Best: ii G, OWEN, Prope a : OSORNO -- > - A -- I APP, Ph ne 238, Port t Perry Choice cuts - x ; Phone 29 w.
