THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1979 . ---- PAGE THREE a, HR Revision of Voters' List For Coming Election Open to Oct. 12 Rural Schools of District Held their Annual Fair at Alexandra Park Yesterday Splendid Display of Handi-| work and Products Shown| by Children, Win Admira- tion of Large Gathering at , School Fair KEEN COMPETITION IN GROUP EVENTS Singing Competition and First Aid Contest Were Two of the Features of an Interesting Program -- Public Speaking Contest Also Aroused Interest The annual fair of Oshawa Rural School District, held at Alexandra Park, today, proved a marked suc- cess both from the standpoint of exhibits and the spirit of com- petition which was displayed by the pupils of the various schools represented. The fair was possibly smaller in size than in previous years due to the fact that North Oshawa school did not enter. The 7 remaining schools in the district however, made a fine showing and W. F. Croskery, of Uxbridge, agri- cultural representative for tne county, was of the opinion that it compared favorably with fairs in other rural school districts, The oratorical contest, he declared, was the best to have been held in any district this year. From the time the pupil begins school at the commencement of the fall term the annual fair is looked forward to with keen de- light. It is a great occasion in the lives of the children who partici- pate and the pride which they manifest in nreparing and display- ing their e:Vibits augurs well for the future of the younger gener- ation, A feature of the fair today, was a first aid comvetition in which four teams, of three pupils each, took part, The competition includ- ed demonstration of the proper way to bind a sprained wrist, the methods which should be adopted in order to save a child whose cloth- ing had caught on fire and the pro- per method of reviving a person: who has fainted. It is interesting to 'note "that three of the teams were composed entirely of girls, The team winning first prize in- cluded Irma Dearborn, Mary Ferry and Olive North, of Union School No. 4; second prize, Bertha Hern, Edith Edward and Louise Pollard, of school No. 1; third prize Marion (Continued on Page 7) RERT LOHNSTON WILL TOUR WEST Well-Known Local Magician Leaves Next Week With Company Bert Johnston, internationally known magician of Oshawa, is leav- ing next week on a tour of Western Canada which will take him into Al- aska, and also through part of the States of Montana and W, ashington.

MAXWELL Minister of St. Andrew's United Church was injured in an auto- mobile collision at Odessa, near Kingston, yesterday. PARENT-TEACHER MEETING HELD IN CENTRE ST. CHURGH Aim to Promote ¢ Closer Con- tact in Sunday School Work The Parent Teacher meeling was held in Centre street church last evening brought which United to a close the week which has been set aside in the United churches and Sunday schools as Children's Week. About one hundred parents and teachers. gathered together to listen to a program which was held with the object of bringing about closer relationships between these parties, The Rev. Dr. Fletcher acted in capacity of chairman assisted by the Rev: Harston who took charge of the worship service at the beginning of the program. Mrs. Alex Fisher sang a very pleasing solo. With a short outline of Miss Miriam Cline's work Dr. Fletcher introduced the speaker of the evening. Miss Cline has spent a great deal of time working in the State of Virginia but she expressed | her delight in getting back to Can- ada and here carrying on the work of Bertha Laney a former promoter in Girls' Work in this country. The speaker congratulated Oshawa on the "alive" people in it who are working in the interests of Religious Education, In her address Miss Cline told how much more difficult it is in these days for families to retun their solidity, but she also suggest ed many ways in which parents teachers could, if they cared to, work together and train the children from infancy to do and want to do, ihe right things. She brought her very interesting and. instructive talk to a close by repeating a most apporpri- ate poem of John Oxenham catitled "Come share the road with me" The suggestion in this poem was tnat there would be better results in ihe younger generation if the parents and Sunday school teachers would co-operate, After the singing of anothes hymn Dr. Fletcher made an anncuacem.nt in a very lively manner of an cxhibit of helps for Sunday schoul *v¢icners which is to be held in October, and also of a banquet to which teachers and those interested in Children's Worl are invited. Seven young ladies representing the different' Sunday schools in tie city presented a very delightiul pag- ant cntitled "The Challenge." Ju it they depicted how onc mig ht be ser- vicable to the church: and the com- munity. A well known hymn was sung at intervals throughcut the na- geant and it ended by the congrega- tion joining in the last stanza Rev. Irwin repeated the Benediction, MAN CONVICTED OF WIFE ASSAULT | Clarence Zealand Allowed Freedom on Suspended Sentence Clarence "Zealand, convicted on: 2a charge of assaulting his wife, was placed under suspended sentence for two years this morning by Magis- trate Hind on condition that he pay the costs of court. Although Crown Attorney McGibbon and the counsel for the defendant had attempted to effect a reconciliation between. Zea- land and his wife this was found to be impossible and the accused signed an agreement of separation, He thust pay ten dollars a week to his wife for her support. Magistrate Hind warned the ac- cused that he would be ' liable to three years imprisonment if "he did not carry out the conditions of his suspended sentence. Zealand also signed the pledge to keep away. from all intoxicating liquors, More then 1,600, 000, 000 lead pencils are used each year by the "people of the United States * LOCAL STATION OF COACH LINES ONKING ST.

VERY SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL FAIR WAS HELD AT PICKERING Public Speaking and School Singing Contests Were Big Features Pickering, Sept. 27.~Thursday, the day of the School Fair, was clear and bright, and although the attend- ance did not scem to be as large as in former years, cveryone showed an interest in the various events, All morning the Memorial Park was the destination of the school children of the seven districts in Pickering town- ship south, as they arrived in town with their exhibits ranging from wri- ting samples to furred pets. Although the judges would have wished for fuller classes in some cases, the en- tries, in general, were of a high standard, At one-thirty the program of events began. This year the phy- sical drill was carried out in a diff- erent manner than formerly, and in- stead of each teacher directing. her own class, all the schools drilled to- gether, under the leadership of 'one, Miss Edwards, Dunbarton. The chil- dren made a good showing in this new arrangement. Then the various contents took place from the open air platform, There were only two entries in the harmonica contest, but both boys played exceptionally well for being so young. Frank Sabel, No. 7 was awarded first place and Frank Ctrachan No. 3, sccond. The singing teams drew much applause, and the voungsters acquitted them- selves nobly. The judges declared that in both these contests, the ef- forts of the children compared fav- ourably with similar concsts in other School Fairs. Prize Winners 1--Grace Devine, 'Marie Musulka, $8.

Following the contests the sports were staged, in which the boys and girls entered most heartily, Then the big tent was opened, and everyone was given the opportunity of seeing the exhibits. At four-fifteen the children -began to remove their entries, the crowd began to disperse, and once more the School Fair was a thing of the past. During the day, the Women's. Institute had sold 're- freshments, candics, ice-cream and hot dogs, and when the last child had passed out the gate, their booths closely resembled the proverbial Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. Rosie Cullet- 'True iy 'Inters dW.

His first entrance to public life was in 1911, when he became a mem- ber of the Board of Education, hold- ing this office for two years. In 1913 and 1914 he was clected to the town council, and in 1915 became deputy reeve. He was reeve in 1916 and 1917, and in 1917 was waarden of the county. In 918 he was elected mayor and in 1919, 1920 and 1921 was re- turned to the council as deputy reeve. Warden in 1917 In 1917, when.

Daylight Saving Time Ends For 1929 Season at One O'Clock a. m. Sunday The "young bloods" of this city who have been counting on an ex- tra hour of "whoopee" tonight, be- fore the Sabbath dawns, are due for a disappointment. In former years, the city went back to Standard Time at 1201 a.m. Sunday morning--which put the clock back to 11 o'clock and air of all kinds went merrily for- ward, But tonight the official time for changing the clock back does not come until 1 am, so that after 12 o'clock tonight the Sabbath day will be with us, and, as usual, activities not allowed in the Lord's Day Act must cease. The usual number, of course, will come to church one hour early to- morrow morning, forgetsng that the clocks have been pushed back. But the knowing ones will put their clock back just before they climb into bed, and enjoy that blissful extra hour of sleep. Just apropros of the feelings of some people on the question of Day- light Saving time in general, there arrived in The Times office this mor- ning this rather feeling little pocnr: "Good bye, good bye Daylight Sav- ing, I hope it's a long farewell; For the trouble you have brought us, Would take too long to tell. "A glad welcome we give to the Standard, The time the nation thinks best, Let every man save his own. time, And not dictate to the rest."

She is employed at the city hall, and is well known there. In fact, she is so well known, that when she and her prospective husband set out to se- cure a marriage license earlier this week, thev decided to go tq Bow- manville to get it. But our best laid plans some- times "gang agley" as the Scotch puoet asserts, and, returning to the city, they lost the license. It was picked up, fortunately, by a friend who knew that the young lady was employed at the city hall. So he returned it to the city hall. And the city hall staff now knows all about that marriage, al- though they weren't intended to! RETURN FROM TRIP 10 THE CONTINENT Lt.Col. J. F. and H. W, Grierson Had Interest- = ing Holiday Licut.-Col, J. F. Grierson, city soli- citor, and his brother, R. W. Grier» son, both of this city, returned re- cently from a seven weeks' tour of the British Isles and France. The men visited several cities of Scotland and England, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, South- ampton, and others. They also spent a few days in Paris. One of the things that they noticed in England, Col Grierson said, was the absense of 'depression in the districts they visited. The people seemed optimistic and prosperous, and not nearly as depressed as some reports would in- dicate. Col. Grierson pointed out, however, that they did not visit the coal or cotton milling districts, where conditions were probably worse than in other parts of England. Both men report a good trip, both going over and returning across the Atlantic, No Trace of Youth Toronto, Ont.-- Despite the com- bined efforts of Canadian - and United States police no trace has as yet been found of Donald Grind- all, 16, who disappeared from his home here about six weeks ago.
