Frost, 2¥own "clerk, was instructed to for- R 4 resolution to the Provincial Sore department, reminding jhing of an agreement made with the town some time ago to look after «the road from the railroad bridge 'on Brock street south, to the On- tario Hospital, with a suggestion that this road should be paved. The "action of the council was: due to-a létter which had been received "from Dr. Stevenson, medical sup- "'ervisor of the hospital, that the in- stitution found that they could not %eep this road up in proper shapo any longer and that the council should take steps to Improve it. The council is under the impres- sion that at the time the hospital "was established here. the 'govern- "yhent agreed to look after this sec- 'tion of the road. As this part of the road is in, a deplorable state, it *would cost a great deal to repair and a pavement seems to. be the only solution. Plea for Sewer Mr. Gordon addressed the coun< ""eil his request for sewer connection "to 'bis home at the corner. of Pitt "and Athol 'streets.

Another request of Bailey's was, that the councli should Jay a hardwood floor in the council chamber and that he wonld rent this room several nights a week to operate a dance. In mak- ing the request Mr. Bailey thought that the rent which he would pay would cover the cost of the floor during a"season. The request was pot granted as members of the eouncil chamber into a &~" all, and could not see that the agree- ment would be satisfactory. On the recommendation of the finance committee, a number of ac- counts were passed and ordered to be paid. To Inspect Gravel Pit It was decided by the council that the town engineer, in com- pany with the streets committee, should go over the gravel pit with members of the township council and decide which portion the town is to own. It was also decided tha. when the pit is surveyed that a description of the half which the town own, should be included iu the agreement. + Until the pit 1s surveyed and the agreement is pro- perly drawn up the signature of the ;mayor and the town treasurer are not to be affixed to the agreement, A communication was received from Mrs. Laidlaw requesting that Pine and Cedar streets be improv- ed.

E. Willis Sunday night, on the advice of Dr. C. ¥. McGillivray and Dr. E. L. Proctor, after he had made an un- successful attempt to hang him- self in the county jail, Whitby. Thc prisoner was found hanging to the door of his cell by an improvised rope by H. Lucas, Governor of the jail, and G. Watson, junior turn- key, on making the final inspectioy, of the jail for the night, between 9 and 10 Sunday evening, Wuen Governor Lucas discovered that the %RED ACES ISSUE ANEW CHALLENGE Against Sea Fleas of "= Whitby The Red Aces of Oshawa have issued a challenge to the Sea Fleas of the town league to a game in the town park some evening in the near future, The Red Aces are a snappy juvenile team who have won a good name for them- selves in the league at Oshawa. The Sea Fleas went through the town league without a defeat and are capable of playing good, fast ball. The Estrads and Tuxis boys both answered the challenge of the Red Aces. Tie Estrads lost their game while fhe Tuxis boys lost one and won one, There is no doubt but that a game between these two teams would create a lot of interest and a large number of fans are await- ing the Sea Fleas to take up the challenge. Arrangements for a match may be made through the local branch office of the Times, LOCAL BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS Mr, Vernon Rowe, one of Whit- by's most popular young men, has purchased the garage and taxi business * formerly known as the Luke Motor Sales, situated at the corner of Dundas and Byron Btreets and owned by Mr. A. E. Luke. Mr. Rowe will continue to conduct a high class garage busi- ness and an up to date taxi ser- vice. Mr. Rowe has been employ- ed recently as travelling agent for the Collacutt bus lines of Oshawa, and his many friends wish him every success in.this new venture, COURT OF REVISION FOR VOTERS' LISTS The court for the revision of the voters' list was held Monday afternoon in Judge Ruddy's cham- bers at the court house. The judge dealt with 144 appeals, granted 136 the right to vote while 8 ap- peals were not granted. The vot- ers' list was compiled by the town clerk, Mr, J. Frost, and published last August. Two weeks were giv- en, after the voters' list appeared. for appeals to be made. . The vot- ers' list had been made up from the aseessor's roll, which had been taken last spring, and most of the appeals. were from citizens who had recently come to town, man was still living, he immediate ly cut him down and summoned medical aid to revive him. Rene Eekhort is the man who | was arrested a short time ago on the C.P.R. property in . Oshawa without any shoes. On appearing before the magistrate there, he was ordered to be supplied with a palr of shoes and to leave town within two hours. Some time later the man was re-arrested on the same charge of trespassing on the rau- way property and was again found to be without shoes. This time the magistrate ordered another pair of boots for him but had him remand- ed in custody at the county jail at 'Whitby. Caused Some Trouble Saturday night, Eekhort, who had been placed ' in a large cell with several other prisoners, cause, the jailers a great deal of trouble. Matters came to;a climax when ine Belgian prondunced himself a sur- geon and attémpted to amputate one of his cell mate's legs by pull- ing 'on it. The governor ordered the prisoner to be placed in a sep- arate cell and to be. closely watch- ed. All night long the Belgian caused a disturbance. Sunday morn- ing, Governor Lucas called in the jail physician, Dr. C. F. MeGilli- vray, who realized the condition of | the prisoner and stated that nex. day he would take steps to have him removed to the asylum. Fear- ing that the prisoner might cause himself bodily injury, Governor Lucas had him placed %n a cell without a bed so that the prisoner could not use the bedding to hang himself. Revived by Doctors Sunday night at 9 o'clock the turnkey visted Eekhort's cell and found everything to be all right. Between 9 and 10 o'clock, while Governor Lucas' and the junior turnkey, Geo. Watson, were mak- ing the final inspection for the night, they found the only blanket that had been provided the Belgian, to be hung over the door of the cell. Immediately the governor vealizell what bad happened and | on swinging the door of the cell open, was struck. in the waist line 'by the prisoner's head, which was hanging by the improvised rope to the. grating ofethe door, while his feej trailed on the floor. When F Governor Lucas discovered that the man still' breathed faintly, he im- mediately cut the rope and sum- moned the doctors: who revived the { "man. The rope by which the prisoner hung had been made by tearing his coat into strips and knotting the pleces together. The blanket had been tied .to'the. bars of the door by means of a shoe lace and a strip of lining from his coat. There is no doubt but that = the prisoner would have been dead had it mot been for the 'timely arrival of the governor and the turnkey. When the doctors and the magistrate de- cided that the prisoner should be removed immediately to the On- tario Hospital, he was taken there by Governor Lucas -and the chief turnkey, W.

The newly-elected presi- dent, Mrs, George Mason, occupied the 'chair and a number of new members joined with those of pre- vious years in making this a well attended meeting.. A pleasant tea hour with Mrs, M. V. G. Gould and Mrs, E, S. Senkler as host- esses followed the routine busi- ness, The feature of the program was an. address given by Mrs. H, H. Jury, the popular recording secre- tary of the club, who had been urged to give the club her impres- sions and experiences during her her recent trip to Europe., Most charming and informal was the address as the speaker took her audience across well known Eng- land and Scotland and gave them more than a casual glance at the cities visited farther afield. Very interestingly Mrs, Jury de- scribed beautiful Paris with its wonderful palaces and its wretch- ed. homes of the poor--off the crowded streets, -- and stores where tourists from' many lands came and went almost unnoticed. The receptions for the party were told of in a most original manner, but her audience shared most her interest in Canada House, that hostel which is home in a foreign land. Saw Battleflelds Even more interesting was the story of the battle fields visited and the bit of Canada at Vimy where stands the beautiful memo- rial to Canada's brave soldiers who made this place sacred to all Canadians. Mrs. Jury told of her impressions of Vienna where gay friendliness ¢reated an atmos- phere full of charm to even the casual traveller, The bright, healthy, sun-tanned boys and girls gave all a sense of the new Aus- tri which Is heing built up after the tragedy of 'he great war. Then the speaker passed to Bo- hemia with its city of Prague where the new province of Czecho Slovakia is heading for prosperity one felt with the abundance of new industries rising up on every hand was proof of the new era in which the country was entering. As the visit to Berlin was describ- cd, all felt again the solidity of the German nation which makes a perfect machine of each indivd- ual and produces smooth routine in all its lives. A most enthusias- tic vote of thanks was tendered Mrs, Jury for her most delightful and unique address, full of human Interest and sympathetic observa- tion, Vagrant Is Allowed Suspended Sentence Norman Stanley Bradbury ap- peared before Magistrate Ward in policec ourt yesterday afternoon to answer a charge of vagrancy.

The special meeting of the town council meeting - in the. council rooms last night failed to prove as interesting as "was expected, = The meeting was called to consider pe- titions for paving that have been put before the council at the last few meetings. However, nothing is to be done in this connection this fall as the town fathers consider it too late ¢o start work this season. The session lasted about two hours and the matter was gone into very thoroughly before a decision was reached. AEROPLANE MADE A FORCED LANDING An aeroplane owned and operat- ed by the Colonial Airways Limited, made a forced landing in Bowman- ville harbour yesterday afternoon. The plane was almost out of gas and the gas line was not working right. After procuring a fresh sup- ply of gas and having the trouble rectified which tok nearly an hour the plane proceeded on its way to Toronto. A crowd of interested spectators were soon on the scene when it was known in the town that the machine had landed. 3 HAMILTON---BURGESS A very quiet wedding was solem- nized in St. John's Anglican church on Saturday last, when Miss Irene Burgess, of England, became the bride of Mr. William Hamilton, of Bowmanville. The bride was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, Mr. Harry Wright, and was assist- ed by her sister as matron of honor. The bride presented a pretty pic- ture in a creation of white georg- ette crepe and a veil of silk net, trimmed round the forehead with a wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of cream roses and snapdragons. The little flower girl, Irene Wright, a niece of the bride, carried a basket of astors. After the ceremony the happy cou- ple were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wright, at Maple Grove and immediately after left on a trip to Niagara Falls. The bride travelled in a navy blue suit with green felt hat. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful set of china dishes. Upon their return, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton will reside in Bowmanville. INQUIRY INTO AVIATORS DEATH Inquest on Jack Armstrong to be Held Tonight at Morgue two months after the crash which took the lite of Canada's young: est airman, an inquest is being held tonight into the death of 16- year-old Jack Armstrong, Willow- dale youth killed = when a plane crashed July 10. Coroner Dr. | preside, and among the witnesses to be heard is Inspector Abbott of the Dominion Aviation Service at Ottawa, aeronautical expert.. Ab- bott happened to be in Toronto at the time of the crash and at that time examined the wreckage. In his summary ot the jury, Dr, Casserly is likely to recommend that a ride be attached to the ver- dict asking that regulations be .passed requiring a standardization of rules in regard to loads carried perfection of engines. The recom- mendation grows. out of Satur- day's tragedy at St. Catharines. Banghart, a pilot for the Lon- don Air Transport company of Stratford and a resident of Lon- don, Ont., must return to hospital fn a few weeks for further treat- ment. For some time, it was fear- ed that amputation of one foot would be necessary, but the injur- ed flier showed much progress that this course was not taken. One leg is in a cast and it is doubtful it he will ever be able to fly again.

Our national feputation is not improved and our friendship with the neighbouring country is not strengthened when Canada is attack- ed as the ally of lawbreakers. The Dominion must be freed of any such imputation. It may be true that the supply of strong drink available in the United States will be scarcely af- fected by any action this country may take.
