THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JA , 1931 iven Glorious Welcome Citizens of "HX SHOULD BE : HOVELLE, 13 POLICE WARNING City Has Bylaw Which will! Be Enforced--24 Hours of Grace Now that Ontario is in the depth | of winter, citizens of Oshawa might | well be reminded that there exists on the statutes of this city a by-law known as the snow shovelling by-| Jaw. According to the terms of this | measure each and every occupant or property owner must keep clear of snow the stretch or stretches of sidewalk bordeing on his pro- ~perty. Sidewalks are supposed to be cleared off right to the concrete within 24 hours after every fall of snow. Every year Chief Friend finds it 'mecessary to jog the memory of the good citizens of this city with re gard to the above enactment of the municipality. Most of us have an aptitude to be lazy and after each snow fall we conveniently forget about shovelling the walks, trusting that they will be cleared off with the next thaw. But this bylaw has teeth as ir past winters several householders | have found out to their profound vegret. Unless one shovels the snow off one's walk there is danger of be ing hauled into police court for the infraction and a fine may be im- posed. Therefor it is practical to use the snow shovel whenever oc- casion may arise. 5. | Watchnight Service Held New Year's Eve At their new church annex, cor rer of Centre and John streets, members and friends of C aly ary Bap tist Church, rallied on New Years eve for a watchnight service lasting from 1030 until shortly after mid- night. Rev. Albert Hughes, of Tac- onto, conducted the service and gave an address appropriate to the occa- sion. About 50 people attended the service, which was of a devotional character and was much appreciated by those present. ! This was the second service held in the new church annex, the first being a prayer meeting held Christ mas morning. The new church build ing is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy soon, when for mal opening and dedication service 14 will be held. {1931 | I ROSS MacKINNON ELECTED TO BOARD OF EDUCATION BY ACCLAMATION DR.

Fun and frolic, merri- ment and hilarity, were apparent at the several functions which staged to welcome in the New Year, and all of them were ro well attend- ed as to make them, in the mass, almost a community celebration of the ringing out of the old year and Ajax 160 Amu ) De Art yO 0) Holl Hy, Gold Lk.

All kinds o noise-making appliances were , brought into action as the official welcome was given to the infant year, and the whole program was thoroughly enjoyed. The more serious side of the cele- bration of the New Year was found in the Watch-night services held in some of the churches. Services in the Calvary Baptist Church, Holy Trinity Church and Knox P.gsby- terfan Church were all well "kt tended. And, of course, in hundreds ot homes in the city there were pri- vate celebrations. In some dis- tricts, where peoples of Scottish birth and ancestry predominate, the "first- footing" was observed, and parties could be seen going from house to house bearing the traditional "Hog- manay" offerings.

Music place as a fixed event on it's Eve in Oshawa was the i ball given by the Oshawa fir Department in the 'Armouries. Thi year it was more largely attended than any prevoius year, due prob ably to the fact that the Gardens Dance Hall which is usually hired for the square dancing was not available this year, With excellent music furnished the Canadian Commadors, a gay de oration scheme, a jolly crowd of peo ple and a general spirit of joviality the ball was a great success, Blue, red and green comjpused the colors of which the streamers that formed a network below the great lights hanging from the ceiling, thus dim- ing them and casting a warm glow in the huge hall. The orchestra was on raised platform built at the north side of the room, and attrac- tively decorated with ferns and lamps. Bidding adieu to 1930, were led in a grand march and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne, while streamers and confetti were thrown about. Other novelties suggestive of the carnival were also in evidence Besides the guests who remained for the whole affair, until three o'clock in the morning when the merry making ceaséd. there were many who came and went, making the Firemen's Bail one stopping off place in their round of New Year's Eve parties. Miss Thelma Darling and Mr. A. Walker composed one couple who were awarded a prize for one of the novel- ty dances and Miss Eileen Mitchell and G. Robins the other couple. A committee of which Chief Elliott was the honorary convenor and the other members were Capt. Gulling, Jim McConnell and Tom Dalby, made the extensive arrangements and prepara- tions for the ball, and to them much credit is due. A lunch counter and refreshment booth were operated by Mrs. J.

"Several of our advertisers have enjoyed peak sales in 1930," said Mr. Findlay . "These are firms who have judiciously maintained or appropriately increased their ad- vertising appropriations, and whose sales organizations have put fresh efforts into thelr work, They have proved that industry and advertis- ing will make headway over com. petitors, no matter what the con- ditions in business may be."
