Mitchell that maple trees should be planted along the city's streets, is one which has been favorably re- ceived in many quarters. Residents of Oshawa realize that the older sec- tions of the municipality are well blessed with beautiful shade trees simply because private citizens and the community took the trouble to plant them.

He congratulated the Oshawa (10h ~n i ss during the first year of activiti-s, which was always found to be the hardest.

No plate will have more than three numerals, that means that the next number after 999 goes into an- | other letter combination, This | made all the numbers slightly | shorter than those of previous years and incidentally much easier tor the traffic officers to read. The plates purchased are more strong- ly made than those of other years. The letters that will be used by Oshawa vehicles are LF, LH, LJ, LK, LL, LM, LN, LO, LLP, and LR. The letters G, Q and I are not used on account of their similarity to numbers, There are a great many applicants for.the plates but if the number plates required is not as great as was expected, only those letter combinations that are need- ed will be used. F. E. Erskine, of Whitby, was che first person to get a license .at Mike's Place. License plates on government ~ars will not carry letters but only the usual series of numerals be- ginning with 1. There are no cars in Oshawa that come in this cate- gory. Premier Ferguson's car will not bear the plate "Al" but mere- ly the customary numeral and somebody else in Toronto will draw the label of quality. Fees for passenger cars this year are as follows: 25 horsepower or less, $5; from 26 to 35 horsepow- or, $10; more than 85 horsepower, $20. CARD OF THANKS Mr. Robert Duff and .Maitland wish to extend their sincere thanks for the many kind expressions of sympathy and the beautiful floral tributes roceived by them during their recent sad bereavement. (12a) | OSHAWA DISTRICT BY COL. CHAPPEL | | | F. E. Erskine of Whitby, Working of Modem: Police System Told to Rotary Club The workings' of the modern po- e system, and a brief history of its development from ancient times, was sketched in an interesting ad- dress on 'Guardians of the Peace," delivered by Lieut.-Col. Frank Chappell of this city at the Rotary lub meeting on Monday. "We are inclined to criticize the police force too swiftly and to commend them too rarely," said Col. Chappell in opening his ad- dress. The police system in Britain ori- ginated from the old watchmen of England, who were guards against thieves and fire, he.said. The Eng- lish statute of Wateh and Ward has been on the law hooks for 700 years. Crime was rampant in ear- lawly days and it was said in 1777 one out of every fifteen in England was a criminal in the eyes of the law. "Yet some rsople tell us the world is not getting any better," remarked the speaker. Modern Police System The modern police system was originated in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel, who organized the Metropoli- tan Police of London. - The &iuties of the officers were primarily to prevent crime and pursue crimin- als, to protect the law-abiding pub- lic, and to maintain peace within the area of their authority, The police force was standardiz- ed throughotit the British Empire, with the same training, the same uniform, and the same general practices, Comparing the police of Britain and the British Dominions, with other nations, Col. Chappell indicated that in no other country did the police attain such a high standard as they did within the British Empire. The R.N.W.M.P. A sincere tribute to the work of the Royal North West Mounted Po- lice of the early days of Canada was pald by the speaker, who said that the reason for the respect which these men commanded both among the settlers with whom they worked and with the Govern- ment at Ottawa, was due to their high code of honor. They were so uniformly and highly trained that | ening the | + | Simeoe street south: L asant | [LOCAL MERCHANTS MERGE IN GHAIN OF BUYING STRENGTH ELEVEN LOCAL GRO- CERS JOIN SUPERIOR STORES Each Merchant Retains Full Ownership and Control of His Store Final arrangements were made at a meeting in the offices of the Oshawa Wholesale, on Monday night, whereby eleven of Oshawa's grocery stores will be linked un- der one banner known as '"Super- for Stores."
