" THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, -JUNE 24, 1929 / mem AN IMPRESSIVE DECORATION WAS HELD AT HAMPTON (Continued from Page 8) toil that remains, We have still with us the fields in which they worked. These men had many occupations among which I noticed, blacksmiths, carpenters, yeomen, shoemakers and so on. The landmarks that remain as a result of their work are the church and the sacred ground where they built their first church and cemetery. A community is known for its homes, schools and church, and last in the reverend care given to its burial grounds, We should be thankful that we have two such splendid properites. These plots are glorious with histo- rical importance. ; Early Hampton Until 1850, Hampton was known as Millville, when the name was changed to Hampton. In 1855 the plot for the Bible Christian cemetery, which is west of the village, was purchased from Henry Elliott as a spot for meeting house to be built and a bur- ial ground. In 1857 the plot for the Wesleyan Cemetery was purchased of John Farley, Sr, by John Farley, Jr, and other trustees of the Wesleyan church as a spot for a cemetery, Two generations of people lie in these cemeteries now. Those of earlier days and those of recent years" In clos- ing Rey, Vick stated, "The purchase and ambition of every one should be that these grounds be kept sacred. Decoration Service The speaker for the decoration ser- vice was the Revenend George Mason of Bowmanville. Rev. Mason found the topic of his address in the elev- enth chapter of the epistle to the Hebrews and the thirteenth and four- teenth verses. "Life is disappointing because * of the dreams that are not realized and fulfilled. Things which are grand at first from a distance are not as grand as they seem when attained. Every: body looks forward to the harvest, There are all kinds of signs to show of the approaching of harvest time. There may be a good harvest and there may be a poor one. It is simi- * lar throughout all generations and is that in our generation. The men in the past were the same. Abraham searched for the promised land and he lived and died in the faith that his people would find that land. His re- ward was only a promised grave. The JEomjses of life are much like that. e Israelites looked for a great na- tion which when 'assumed deteriorat- ed rapidly. All promises however are not like that. Fulfilment is not so shadowy and so dull as that. The things which we look forward to do not seem so great when realized. God's fulfilment of promises are like that to every one of us. Fulfilment does not seem after all so much because we have grown to the struggle. Uni- versity diplomas which are commer- cially worthless are in reality some- thing to show in the way of a ful- filment of years of struggle, study, toil, learning, that has prepared the student and equipped him for the different things in life.

From the reflections aroused by this type of service, he continued, there were benefits derived in the thoughts that death was inevit- able; death came to all equally and made all equal. Reflection reveal- ed in our friends faults to be shun- ned and failures to be avoided; virtues to be imitated and personal powers to be emulated. Their goodness should inspire us to a nobler life, he said. NATURE NOTES Bovine--That new farm terrible dumb." Equine--How's that?

The enthusiasm of children at a circus surpasses that of three times as many adults and the artists re- ceived hearty applause from little hands after their acts. The clowns were perhaps the most appealing of all. One, dressed as a police- man, evoked the laughter of all the children and the attending adults. His witty remarks to passersby were well received. Kiddies Enjoyed Fun (All the colorful acts were the recipients of the '"'ohs" and "ahs" from hundreds of children and it was with regret that the children were compelled to leave the saw- dust ring and the main tent, How- ever, the other tents were patron- ized and the circus freaks enjoyed. Pink popcorn and peanus, synony- mous with circus, were devourea with relish and balloons and canes purchased. The pocket money, saved for weeks by the childrun, was all squandered with one lavish flourish and the children returned to their homes to save money for the circus next year or whenever it returns again. TERRIFIC HITS MONTREAL (Continued From Page 1) near here, today, was a smoulder- ing mass of ruins, charred stones, and timbers, The famed institution of learning which drew pupils from all parts of the American continent, was totally destroyed by fire Sunday. The blaze started when the building was struck by a bolt of lightning. The loss is esti- mated at close to $1,000,000 while insurance coverage amount ed to only $200,000. Four firemen were injured in fighting the fire, one of them ser- ously.

Dense smoke VALEDICTORY OF PAST PRESIDENT OF ROTARY CLUB (Continued from Page 3) this would tend to keep Rotary on an ever higher plane. Putting forward the idea that the Rotary Club should take a more close interest in the affairs of the city of Oshawa, President Conant said. Place in Community "The Rotary Club's place in the community can and should be made one of considerable importance, The city of Oshawa has grown en- ormously in population and in things material, In our. commun- ity relationships, however, we as individuals and as citizens have hardly kept pace. Our attitude to- wards issues and events is too of- ten distorted by personal consid- erations. This is a relic of the village and small town periods of our development, We must out grow this tendency if we are ever to become the metropolis we hope and believe is the destiny of Osh- awa, and The Rotary Club should be a vital factor in bringing about such a transformation. It should be the leaven that would raise us as a people above the incubus of per- sonal considerations and engender the spirit of mutual understanding and goodwill so that our issuses and problems may be approached and decided solely with a view to what is best for the city at large. I believe this can in large measure be accomplished by including in our membership every worthy citls zen representative of every trade, business or profession so that the intimate contacts and relationships of the club's life and activities may engender among the largest pose sible number the community spirit and atmosphere. It can also be materially assisted by developing more and more the idea of the open forum where our problems and issues as a city may be fre- quently discussed before a repre- sentative group of citizens without passion or prejudice but solely as an exposition of facts and the mer- its of the issues." Presentation To Club President Conant closed his ad- dress by expressing his pleasure at the happy associations of his term in office, and presented to the club a handsome bell, surmounted with the club's emblem, and a gavel, to be used by future presidents. This gift was accepted with thanks, on behalf of the club, by the incoming president, George Hart. W. M. Gilbert, in a happily word- ed speech, expressed the thanks of the club to the retiring president and directors for their splendid efforts on its behalf during the year of office, stressing in particular their services for the welfare of the com- munity as a whole. The task of introducing the new directors was entrusted to Mayor Mitchell, who echoed the sentiment of the retiring president that the Ro- tary Club should take a more vital interest in municipal problems of the city. New President Replies George Hart, responding for the new officers and directors, voiced his own sense of responsibility in being called to the high office of president of the Rotary Club, and pledged himself, with the help of the rank and file of the membership, as well as the directors, to put forth his best efforts for its continued pro- gress.

The tumult and the shouting like a tempest disappear, The hum of city traffic is as noth ing to my ear; For there's the dear old homestead, | and the place as plain as day, Where whippoorwills are calling still 'mid the coils of hay. If half the joys of childhood would forever with us stay, We'd scorn the wealth of nations, and we'd hate the world's dis~ play Of baubles and the tinsel worn by men of great renown, And always love the country lanes far better than the town. --JOHN ROWLAND, Stratford.
