But Action on the Major- REV. FATHER BENCH Some Applications Were Withdrawn Because of the " "Fact That Applicants Had "Sons and Daughters Able to Care for Them 5 § i i i Seven applications Ie for old age pén- sions in Oshawa were granted by the Old Age Pension Board of this city at its meeting this week. Rev, Fath- jer 'Bench was chosen by the mem- ibers as chairman of the board. Twelve applications were dealt with 'at the Board meeting, three being re- fused, and two postponed until fur- ther "information, such as proof of age, etc, could be secured. Ten oth- er persons have made out application forms, for which complete informa- tion has not yet been' furnished, and two other applicants withdrew their applications, making a total of 24 ap- plicants in the city. , It was pointed out t6 The -Times by Miss Dorothy Farncomb, secretary of the board, that a few applications were received from persons whom it was found had sons and daughters well able to care for them, and who were liable for their support under the Parents' Maintenance Act. These applications were refused, or with- | drawn when the situation was ex- plained to the applicant, since the Old Age Pensions Act did not in any way relieve children from the re- sponsibility of caring for their par- ents when they were able to do so. In one or two other cases, it was found that the applicants had sons who owned farms, and it was consid- ered that they would be able to maintain their parents. POSSIBILITIES OF OSHAWA CREEK AS SWIMMING PLACE AND GIVI BEAUTY SPOT 'With bathers warned not to risk the waters of Lake Ontario off Lakeview Park Beach, on account of the danger of contamination from the city sewage disposal, Jmany people. are wondering where wimimers indulge in their favor te sport these warm summer days. Oshawa creek provides the solu- $n to the problem, according to hose familiar with it. For miles his little stream flows through a pretty pastoral district, past fertile farms and tiny villages, in wooded lades and pleasant valleys. Fed Be many tiny rivulets and springs ts waters are pure and harmless. ot until it reaches the city does it ome in contact with anything which might cause pollution. ; For this reason the upper reach- jes of the stream are quite safe and 'momo excellent swiniming holes are provided along its course. Those 'who have a desire for a refreshing con: shot day may bathe in-the. reek without fear. It is unfortunate, however, that this stream which follows so pleas- ant a course for so many miles is bordered by an ugly, unsightly dis- trict as it winds its way through the centre of the city. For half a mile north and south of the King street bridge its banks become' a repository for rubbish of all kinds including: an unsightly automobile graveyard: People entering Oshawa from the west must receive an un- favorable impression as they tra- verse this bridge and gaze at the ugly river course on both sides. Has Possibilities Through planning and foresight this spot might be made the pretti- est in the city. If the municipality owned the land, the banks on both sides of the stream could be sodded while trees might be planted and flower beds "Taid 'out.

(34a) LA r ANNIVERSARY OF TELEPHONE TALK First Long Distance Call Made on August 11, 1876 "What is the significance of the Bell System flag on your Oshawa building today?" the Times asked Manager Black of the Bell lem phone Company this morning. "This is the anniversary of the world's first long distance tele- phone talk," said 'Mr. Black. "On August 10th, 1876, Alexan- der Graham Bell arranged with the old Dominion Telegraph Company for the use of one of their circuits from Brantford to Paris, for the purpose of testing his telephone in- vention. The test proved highly successful. The listeners in Paris heard quite distinctly various se- lections of prose aud poetry shout- ed into the crude , instrument in Brantford, eight miles distant. They could not answer by tele- phone, the replies being telegraph- ed back to the speakers, bus tne test proved the practicability of the telephone for more than merely lo- cal talking. ~ KINSMEN KIDDIES' KARNIVAL COU PON wade RAADRIE .......i compresses ossosnsssosphinssesnsisssssrsiobinsismtivonesnsassss Age oii.

TRANSPORT TRUCK BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE THIS MORNING Load of Groceries and Other Goods Was Partly Destroyed Fire, breaking out in the cab of a Red Star Motor Transport Co. truck at 8 o'clock this morning caused considerable damage to the truck and also destroyed a large portion of the load, including gro- ceries, 'tobacco and confectionery. The truck was proceeding west on King street and the blaze was first discovered when it was about two hundred feet east of the Mer- cury Service Station. It apparently originated underneath the seat close to the gas tank and the flames swept through the window at the rear of the cab and spread through the contents of the load. Two men who were in charge of the vehicle narrowly escaped burn- ing as they jumped from the cap. fire extinguishers, but these proved useless and it was found necessary to call the fire department, Flames by this time were leaping upward to a height of ten feet and several explosions occurred, indi- catin that the gas tank had been penetrated. The firemen were able to extinguish the blaze within a few minutes, but not before: eon Slderable damage had heen done. The loss is estimated at $500 par- tially covered by insurance. Traffic on Kin street was held up while the fire was in proress as it was impossible for carg to pass on either side of the truck. BARN ON KINGSTON ROAD DESTROYED House Also Suffered Severe- ly-in Blaze This. Morning (By Staff Reporter Whitby, AUS. 10. Riporien) amount- ing to about $4,000 was done last night when fire destroyed the barn, car and almost completely gutted the house belonging to Mr. R. J. Andrew on the Kingston road. The fire which started in the barn where the car was kept was = discovered about three-thirty this morning and had gained considerable headway. The alarm was immediately sent in, the brigade making a quick response but the flames had spread to the house and was raging fiercely. Sey- eral lines of hose were quickly laid and the firemen did good work in saving the walls and the roof of the house. The barn, car and the back kitchen were burned to the ground and the house badly damaged. The house is situated on the highway at the top of Star's Hill on the edge of the limits of the town. Mr. An- drew was formerly a real estate and insurance man of Oshawa and bought the property about a year ago. Mr. Andrew has been conducting a tour ist business and in connection with this operates a refreshment stand and gasoline station.

BARN DESTROYED IN FIRE CAUSED BY LIGHTNING Spectacular "Early Morning Blaze Near Enniskillen --Crops Also Lost Enniskillen, Aug. 10.--Struck «by lightning about four o'clock this mor- ning, the fine large barn owned by Harvey Strong, near this village, was totally destroyed by fire. The loss, which is estimated at $1,500 is par- tially "covered by insurasice; Besides * his barn, 'Mr. Strong lost his entire season's ,crop of hay and also his crop 'of alsike, which had just been threshed. . The threshing niachine, which was still in" the barn, was pulied to safety. About 50 hens and one pig which were in the harn were burned and "snie implements were destroyed, As soon as the bolt struck the barn, Mr. Strong and- his sop rushed out to the barn and pulled out the threshing machine. By this time, ti:¢ flames had spread to such an extygnt that it was impossible to save the heifs or the implements, The. cay tle and horses were in the field. Lhe] heavy rain which 'fell prevented the spread of the blaze to.any, of -the other buildings. The blaze created a big reflection, the: barn being one. of the biggest in the district, and by five o'clock a large crowd had gathered on the scene, TOURIST BUSINESS: GOOD Although the month of July was quiet in comparison with July ef last year, local tourist homes rve- port a good business at the present time.
