INSTALLED AT FOUR CORNERS OPERATION OF TRAFFIC BEING * WATCHED '. WITH INTEREST Local Drivers Show Them- selves to be the Worst +++ Offenders : (By Staff Reporter) . ' Whitby, June. 19. -- The town's new stop-and-go electric signal system has been installed. at the intersection of Dends and . Brock greets and was in operation yes- terday afternon and evening, The "sfop", "'caution'" and "go" lights ares . ituated within. a metal box suspended by a stout steel cable fifteen fot above the level of the road, The signals are plainly vis- ible to cars coming. from any us- rection, either on 'Brock or Dun- das streets.

Apparently the system |g in wide use in the United States and therefore, when an American fviver comes to a busy intersection be is.on the look-out for signals. Local Drivers' Lax In spite of the fact that practi- saly every resident of the town was aware that the Hghts were being placed -at the corner, local drivers proved the worst offenders yester- day and in many Instances failed tb obey the signals, This no doubt was the result of force of habit, They were not accustomed to look for the lights and there- tore failed to se them at all, Applies to Pedestrians Chief Gunson stated yesterday that pedestrians must obey the signals as well ag motrists. Jay whiking 'will no tbe permifted at this intersection and in order 'to avold accidents pedestrians should pnly chross the "street when the gren slight says "go," Other- pL ihetutinptusiuddbvit wise the valueo fthe signals as a safety measure will be nullified. The system is being given a 30- day trial and will be purchased by 'the town council if found to be satisfactory. LADS THREW.

KARN'S Drug Store Phone 378 What Others Say AN EXPLANATION To the Editor, Oshawa Daily Times: Some correction is called for in regard to the report of the Bape tist Association which appeared in your issue of Saturday which gives the impression that the paper | which I read was mainly concerned with showing that the Convention Churches had not even been charg- ed with actual repudiation of any of the eighteen recognized Doctri- nal Articles; on the contrary, the paper was designed to show, and did show, that the new creed, is. sued by the dissenting Baptists, contained thirteen serious depar- tures from the Regular Baptist Faith, including: five Articles scrapped; being those on Election; The Resurrection of the Dead; The Final Judgment; The Religious ob- servance of the First day of the | Week and the obligation to believe the testimony which God has given His Son; five Articles seriously qualified being Inspiration; The Atonement; Regeneration; Total Depravity and the Punishment of the Wicked; and three Articles redded being' those on The Devil; The Creation and The Resurrection and return of Christ. The paper claimed that the above constituted the most heroic apos- tacy of modern times; that there was no uncertainty about it, it hav- ing been given to the world in cold type over two years ago and ad- hered tow ithout one word of cor- rection, retraction or justification.

BRIGHT WATERS AND HAPPY LANDS Siuated in the heart of On- tario's vacation land---and known to the Indians of long ago as tne "Bright Waters and Happy Lands" are the Kawartha Lakes. This chain of lakes, six hundred feet above Lake Ontario and over one hundred and fifty miles in lengtn, constitiites one of 'the most popu- lar summer playgrounds in Canada. There are almost unlimited op- portunities fo indulge in your fav- orite outdoor 'recreation so there may never be a dull hour during your sojourn, however long it may be. But perhaps the greatest attrac- tion the Kawartha Lakes offer is the fishing. Small mouth bass and maskinonge are caught in the larg- er lakes, while there is good fish- ing for speckled trout in most of the inland lakes. Bobcaygeon, reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway, is ideal- ily situated as the central point of entry to the lakes. The best and most adequate accomodation is to be had for very reasonable rates, while boating, bathing, tennis and fishing are at one's doorstep. Ask nearest Canadian Pacifie agent for Kawartha Lakes booklet or information regarding rates and train service. Mr. M. R. Johnson, C.P.A., C. P.R., Oshawa, Ont. FOUR CORNERS TO BE SCENE OF FROLIC (Continued from Page 1) : convinced that tonight's affair will far outshine any previous efforts, New entertainment attractions, more bands, and unusual features to arouse the keen interest of the pub- lic have been provided in generous measure. The grand parade will be a thing for wonderment and surprise, for it will include so many new fea- tures, attracted by the splendid prize list, that Dave Tod expects to have his. hands full in getting it around the route of the parade. Starts At Seven o'clock Then, at seven o'clock, the fun and frolic of the fair will be functioning in full course." The thirty booths which have been arranged for the amusement 'of the public will be opened up, each manned by a staff of Rotarians, Kiwanians and Kins men, ready to attempt the citizens to invest in their wares, which cover so wide a variety of articles that there will be something to suit all types of people. ; he Drawing The crowning feature of the Street Fair comes at midnight, when Judge Thompson and = Sheriff Paxton of Whitby mount the platform at the four corners and draw from an old fashioned churn which is going to mean that some person who has invested twenty-five cents in the ticket will be the winner of a Chev- rolet coach, 1929 model, six-cylinder automobile. Such a prize! Surely well worth the winning, Thousands of tickets have ii, sold, and more will be on sale tonight in one of the booths at the Street Fair. The stub of every ticket sold, right up to the last minute, will be placed in the churn, so that there will be an equal chance for everyone to win the car.

A Quantity of Used Brick FOR SALE Apply SR-------- Bowmanville Picnickers at stricken Assembly Between 50 and 75 persons were rendered quite ill and experienced sensations of nausa and pains In the abdomen following a monster church supper and concert at Ma ple Grove United church last Mon- day evening. At first there seemed only a few who were affeted by some of the food partaken of dur- ing the supper, but as time went on and the concert began a large percentage of the whole assemnly was suffering from what resembled ptomaine poisoning. Dr. C. W, Slemon, of Bowmanville, who along with Dr. V, H, Storey, also of thet town, were called to the church when matters took even a worse turn, immediately began an inves- tingation and. gradually thinned the evidence leading to the poison- ed food down to two foodstuffs, the cheese and the meat which was used with the salads. Samples of each of these two were sent to the health bureau at Toronto, where they will be examined. Repors are expected to be in by Friday eo. this week. Although the greater number of the cases were not of a serious na- ture, eight or ten took a decided turn for the worse, as the evening progressed. These latter, however, were the cases involving the older members of the assembly, Follow- ing expert care by Doctors Storey and Slemon, these persons were considerably relieved and the pain lessened. When the first effects of the trouble were noted, those first af- flicted sought relief by lying on the lawns of the school, where they were found by the physicians upon their arrival. "The trouble {is practically cleared up now," stated Dr. Sle- mon to The Times today, 'ana there are no cases which we might ter mas serious. Although some at first needed special attention by Dr, Storey and myself, they came around alright and the danger of further trouble decreased." "Dr. Slemon pointed out that here was little 'doubt but that the trouble originated in the food, but whether it was in the cheese or meat he could not, tell, Analysis reports will determine that, he said. MORE TO KUM Minister a Victim Rev. H Stainton, minister of the Maple Grove United Church, was himself not spared, With a few others he helped telephone for the physicians, Then until they arrived he rendered first aid But when he reached home he collapsed. He said his symptoms were dizziness and nausea. "We don't know what caused the trouble, but we're not blaming anybody," he said. Among the victims were Ernast Foley of Maple Grove and his sn, Edward, aged 20 Both were ser- all Daily Times News, advertising and subscriptions will be recvived at the Bowmanville Office of The Times. Telephones--Office, 587; REPRESENTATIVE--RICHARD COWAN Ag Maple Grove Are Rendered Ill at Supper Between 50 and 75 Residents of Maple Grove and vic- inity become Ill from Effects of Food Poisoning -- Doctors Slemon and Storey of Bowmanville attend | So was Ernest Foley's aged 50, and fously {i1l. brother, Howard, Allen Law, aged 22, Miss Ruby Lane also was a victim, Albert Crazo, an elderly parishioner, was for a time considered in a grave condition. But all have recovered. Dr Slemon says his patients showed symptoms of ptomaine poisoning. But he has no definite opinion as to what food caused the poisoning, He adds, however, that is somewhat suspicious of the cheese and the salads, At least fifty persons are known to have been affected, Among the number were many children They were the first to complain, Dr. Slemon said, but revived just as quickly. Brought Own ppers The United Church anniversary supper had been for weeks the subject of Maple Grove's church and society gossip 'The entire con- gregation was looking forward to it, There were to be many amuse- ments, a concert by local artists and a big supper. The church members arranged that the supper would take the form of a picnic. That is, every one would bring his own. So for two days hefore the great event housewives were busy in the kit- chens It is in the date of the kit- chen preparations that Dr. V. H Storey, who also attended the church members sees a possible clue to the sad outcome of the supper. It is his opinion, he declared last night, that since the foodstuffs were prepared on Saturday they were held over for almost three days Consequently, they may have become affected in that time. Suddenly Collapsed No one knows exactly who was the first to be afflicted on the church grounds. Many persons seem to have complained at once. And by the time the party became aware that something unusual was happening the situarion had be- come serious. Dr Slemon declared that of two persons eating side by side one suddenly collapsed while the other looked on astonished. By the time he arrived in answer to the desperate telephone calls of the patients' relatives, he found them in all stages of acute digestive trouble Nausea and pain in the ab- domen were the main complaints. Some of the patients were obliged to lie 'down on the lawn, Others who appeared apparently well and congratulated themselves on their small appetites found two or three hours later that they had not been spared. There were comparatively few who collapsed during supper, ac- cording to the physicians But two hours later, when the concert was in progress, variations of illness were evident. 1 BRITAIN TO REVEAL AVIATION SECRETS Natizn Preparing for Great. est Summer in Flying History London, June 19.--Great Brit- ain is preparing for the greatest summer in the history of aviation. During the next three months there will be a succession of air events graphically illustrating this country's progress in aviation. Several closely guarded secrets will be revealed during the sum- mer. For the past few years, Brit- ish engineers and designers have been working feverishly on new types of air machines. There have been. occasional rumors of startl- ing new air discoveries which the Air Ministry has not denied. It i8§ known that airplanes built along new and radical lines will be shown for the first time at an exhibition on July 16. The Air Ministry has promised that one of the closest kept secrets of its of- fice, the new small airplane de- signed with folding wings to fit into a submarine, will be made public on this occasion. Because of its possibilities time of war, Great Britain is take ing great interest in the secret sub- marine-airplane. From official quar- ters it is hinted that the Air Min- {stry has attained perfection in this type of plane which will result in revised estimates of submarine strength. The summer's events are the more interesting because of the forthcoming test flights of the R- 100 and R-101, Great Britain's ex- pensive threats in the lighter- thain-air-field. After their trials the R-100 will fly to Canada and the R-101 to Egypt and India. It Times Office is possible that one of the glant on the day the aero exhibition opens. ANCIENT BENEFIT SOCIETY RETIRES Chesterfield Union Society Withdraws From FJ Register London.--Among a number of friendly societies which have with- drawn from registration under the Friendly Societies Act is the Ches- terfield Union Benefit Society, one of the oldest organizations of the kind in England, It was established in 1792, and the original rules pro- vided that it was to consist of 131 members, who must be gentlemen's servants and natives of Great Bri- tain. They were to meet at the Old Chesterfield Arms every fourth Fri. day, when each member was re quired to pay 1s. 6d. to the box and also 3d. "to be expended that even- ing." In order to ensure that the funds should not suffer by the con: sumption of liquor in excess of this amount per head, the rules provid: ed that if more liquor was allowed to be brought into the room on the club account than could be paid for by the moneys contributed therefor, the steward "at the slate" was to pay the "overplush" money out of his own pocket, The society assisted members to FAMOUS PORTLAND VASE WITHDRAWN In British Museum For More Than Hundred Years London, June 18,--What is to be done with the famous Portland Vase which was put up at auction at Christie's recently and with- drawn by the owner the Duke of Portland, because the reserve bia was not reached? This is the ques- tion for the Duke himself to de- cide though public Interest in the matter is keen, The highest bid for the vase was $152,000, which was below the reserve figure plac- ed on it by the owner. So keen was the interest in the prospective sale of the historic work of art that Christie's celebrat~ ed auction rooms were filled by a record crowd, many people arriv- ing an hour before moon, with luncheon baskets, and settling down to wait for the opening of the proceedings at 3 o'clock. The Prince of Wales was a surprise vis- itor to the galleries in the morn- ing. So great was the crowd that there was an overflow into rooms adjoining that in which the auc- tion was to take place. Several women were carried out in a faint- ing condition. The Portland Vase is ten inches tall and is made of glass of an in- tensely deep blue, decorated with figures in relief in white opaque glass. Reputed to have been found in a sarcophagus under the Monte del Grano, near Rome, it was the chief ornament of the Barbarinl Palace at Rome until bought by James Byres, the antiquary. who sold it in 1770 to Sir William Ham- flton, Bringing it to England, Sir Wil- liam sold the vase in 1785 to Mar. garet of Portland for $9,432 and after her death it was purchased at auction for $5,135 by the third Duke of Portland. After his death the Vase was handed to the trus- tees of the British Museum for public exhibition. Forty years later it was smash- ed by a drunken visitor who was fined §15. The fragments were kept, and ultimately the vase was restored, and for more than 100 years remained one of the British Museum's most treasured exhibits, The Marquis of Titchfield, the Duke of Portland's heir, was pres- ent at the sale, and when asked if disappointed that the vase had not been sold, he said: "On the con- trary, I am delighted." The usual commission charged by auctioneers on unsold articles is 5 per cent., so that the unsue- cessful attempt at sale will cost at least $7,500. -------------------- Women of Australia have a craze for crocodile-leather shoes.

Buyers by Agnes Kent The High Cost of Bargaining My husband and I once sfood at the entrance to a fonduk or trading establishment of an Eng- lish cotton merchant in Tangiers. An Arab was trying to buy fifty pieces of goods at a certain price and the Englishman had explained that this would mean the loss of 80 many pence per yard. "I am sorry", he said, ""we cannot trade, but your business, my friend, would cost me too great a loss.' "Well, sell me only twenty pieces", said the Arab, "you will not lose so much and we shall still be friends." I often think of this episode as I try to fit a dozen things of im- portance into as many minutes in order to keep up with the demands of modern social and friendly and family and Church life, without neglecting any of the genuine ob- ligations that the home imposes upon the woman of today. What life would be if we had to bargain for minutes and quar- ter hours for everything we buy. Thank your Dally Newspaper, my dear sisters, for removing the cause of bargaining from our mod- ern system of trading, The woman who really studies the advertising in her daily newspaper is purchas-. ing on a business basis. We do not realise how important adver- tising is to us until we learn to read it wisely. ORKNEY EPIDEMIC Mystery Disease Solved Kirkwall, Orkney Islands.--The mysterious malady which broke out at the island of Stronsay, Ork- ney, has now been diagnosed as poliomyelitis (inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cora).

Tvo «r- sons had died of the diseasc. (he rest were progressing favourably, and the epidemic was well under control. All known contacts were under observation and isolated as well as possible. Poliomyelitis, which is a notifiable disease, is a form of infantile paralysis. TOPSY-TURVY TOWN London.--Porlock is topsy-turvy land no longer, for the Ministry of Health has made the two halves of the city a whole.
