PACE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1931 Ontario arid Durham County News SCHOOL FAIR I GREAT SUCCESS AT CLAREMONT Six Schools of the District Took Part in Various Contests Claremont, Sept, 18.--The an- nual school fair was held in the Community Park and Skating Rink, on Monday, Sept. 14th, when six schools of the district took part in the drills, contests, races and exhibits of various kinds. The weather was ideal and the large attendance of grown-ups showed that a general interest in the work of the school boys or girls was not lacking. The display of flowers fell a little below normal this year on account of the prolonged dry heat, but in other respects the exhibits were as fine as usual. An increased number took part in the oratori- cal contest, the winner of first prize being Miss Kate Beaton, who was an honor pupil at this year's entrance examinations. Her subject was "The C.G.I.T." A fire, no matter how small, is a signal for alarm especially dur- ing a dry spell such as we have been experiencing during the past few weeks. When flames rose in the sky north of the village last Saturday evening general alarm was felt until it was learned. that the only damage was the loss of a stack of hay on -Mrs, George Coates' farm. The origin of the fire was a mystery but fortunate- ly the stack was some distance from any of the buildings. The Claremont fire brigade was on hand promptly in case of any danger as there was a fairly high wind. Fire of a much more serious nature occurred on Charles Bil- ky's farm on Tuesday of this week which resulted in the loss of his barn and most of - his season's crop besides eleven hogs that were trapped in the flames. The fire originated from a threshing out. fit which had almost completed ST JAMES 109-13 WEST 45th STREET NEW.

W, Forsyth on Wednesday afternoon, Septem- ber 16th, when members of Brou- gham Institute were guests of the local society. The visitors favor- ed the audience with a delightful- ly interesting and varied program. Some of the numbers included an excellent paper on "Thanksgiv- ing" by Mrs. W. White; well se- lected "Current Events" handled in an able manner by Mrs, T. Brown; a solo "The Nut Brown Maid" sung in pleasing style by Mrs. Malcolm, Jr., and a very in- teresting '""Musical Contest" ar. ranged by Mrs. A, Johnston, Mrs, R.

Since that time un- settled and cool weather has pre- vailed in the West, with light tb heavy showers in. Western Mani- toba, showers to rains in most parts of Saskatchewan, and light to heavy rains in Alberta, which caused some delay in harvesting operations in the latter two Prov. inces. Cutting and threshing have been prosecuted, with exception mentioned above, under ideal conditions, and in the three Prov inces wheat is practically all cut with the exception of that fn North-Central Alberta, where it is estimated 30 per cent. has yet to be done, and in the three Prov- inces approximately 55 per cent. of wheat is threshed, 38 per cent. of oats and about the same per- centage of barley, with numerous points, principally in Manitoba, reporting wheat threshing finish- ed or nearing that score. Yields of various proportions continue to be disclosed in different areas, but generally satisfactory grades so far. Limited amounts of coarse grains have been threshed, with'light yields generally report. ed, although higher returns are expected in Northern districts. Late stands of these crops also show promise with favorable wea- ther which has been received up to this time, Fall plowing 1s proceeding where threshing is more advanc- ed, some districts in Manitoba mentioning twenty to seventy per cent, finished, NEW BOOKS AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY The following list is a selec- tion from the new books recently placed in the Public Library.

Sir Allan heads the delegation of distinguished visitors from Eng- jand attending the American Pub- ifc Health Association in Mon- treal. "Starvation and hardship bring revolution to the fore," Sir Allan said, "and people who have no food have got to: get it bat as long as the modern com. munity takes care of its desti- tute, there is no danger. You chould remember that the British national character is very differ- ent from that of the slay races where Bolshevism took and main- tains a hold, In Russia, at the time of the revolution no less than 85 percent of the people could not read, while we have an educated sensible, Anglo-Saxon people." : War Refugees Camp Sir Allan Powell is remember- ed as the man who was in charge cf the great war refigees camp at the Crystal Palace, London, where 4,000 beds for Belgian and other refugees were maintained until homes could be found for them. In all, about 250,000 re- fugees wera temporarily housed in this and similiar camps in Ergland. Sig Allan, in recogui ten of his services, receivel a formidable array of honors. As well as a British knighthood, he helds the order of Leopold of Belgium, the Crown of Italy, the White Eagle of Serbia, an) the Mcdaille de la Reconnaissance Francaise. Sir Allan is particularly im. pressed with the way in which this vigorous young country, Can- ada, which is everywhere branch- ing out into new fields of enter prise, yet holds to British tradi- tions in business, education, and sport, He was delighted by the welcome to Kaye Don in Toronto. According to Sir Allan, there fs little danger that the National- ist Government in Britain will cut aown severely on public health appropriations, "I think it un- likely that any retrenchment will he made which would affect pub- lic health," he sald, "the only cutting down will be in admini. strative items. [I was particular. ly interested to notice in press re- ports that the cutting down in public health funds was the smallest." Empire Credit Sir Allan thinks that the mea- sures taken are essentially to im- grove credit, and are already not merely maintaining British cred- it but improving it. He is alo of the view that measures will b> taken in the near futur2 by means of tariffs, or otherwise, fo wecura the British market for British and Dominio products and to exciude foreign dumplag Probably one of Sir Allan Pow- eii's greatest contributions was made as member of the famous British = Royal Commission on Food Costs, 1924-25, «8 a result of which the National Fool Coun. cil was set up. Its object is to see that there is no undue spread be- tween the cost of food and essen- tials to consumer and producer. "If you want to stimulate con. sumption, you must see thal the consumer does not have to pay too much," he said. "We worked with no other weapon but pub- {feity. The council has moral in- fluence, but I think it should be strengthened by the power to en- foree compulsory examination of books. just about completed a bill which would have given it these powers, UNREST IN NAVY BELIEVED PAST Admiralty to Investigate Hardship Cases, First Lord States 18.--"The past is past," declared Sir Austen Chamberlain, First Lord of the Admiralty, in the House of Com- mons last evening. "It is in the the matter should have passed so interests of the men in the navy and those outside the navy to forget it." . Sir Austen was opening the debate on the reductions in naval pay which the Laborite Opposi- tion had clamored for since yes- terday. But, to the surprise of everybody, the debate was short- lived, The expécted attack from the Labor benches failed to mat- erialize. After brief statements from one or two private members who followed Sir Austen, the matter was, by general consent, allowed to drop. "It speaks well for general discipline,' said Sir Austen, *'that quietly with no disturbance ex- cept in the usual routine of duty." He emphasized the inten- tion of the Admiralty to investi- Rate all' cases of hardship aris. ing from pay reductions, and he intimated that men -involveq in the unrset would not suffer pen- alties.

Giles Chittenham, distressed over the suicide of his younger half-brother Rodney, returns to Europe from America, where he had made an unhappy marriage. Rodney had killed himself be- cause a notorious woman, Jule Farrow, threw him over. Giles is introduced to Julie Farrow by his friend Lombard, in Switzer- land, He resolves to make her fall in love with him, then throw her over as she threw Roaney. She tells him she has made a bet with her friend "Bim" Len- nox that she can drive her car to the top of the St. Bernard Pass and back. Giles challenges her to take him with her and she ac- cepts. They start out in the face of a gathering snowstorm. Chittenham discovers, to his amezement, that the girl be- side him in the car appeals to him as no other woman has ever appealed. And something intangible convinces him that her feeling toward him is sim{)- ar to his own toward her. "Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked her, as the car toils up the mountain toward the hotel, At the hotel, after refresh- ment, Chittenham and Julia found their mutual attraction 50 strong as to be irresistible. In the morning they returned to the town below, Julie apparently Jjubilantly happy. Lombard tells Chittenham that ne has made a mistake, that this Julie Farrow is not the one whe ruined Rod- ney, but her cousin of the same name. Chittennam is horrified. He calls at Julie's hotel and con- fesses that he iad tried to win her love for purposes of revenge, believing her to be the other Julie. Giles goes with his mother to a London night club, where he meets Julie Farrow--his Julie-- who si drinking heavily and try- ing to appear to be having a good time. A mutual friend in- troduces him. He says he has met her before, but she laughs i1 his face and declares they have never met. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.. "Oh, no, I don't think so. He was not one of those who specialize in his women very much, I think a kiss was just a kis sto him." She slipped away and they saw her join Essen and Mrs. Ardron at the far table, Doris glanced at Chittenham an made a little grimace. . : "Cocktails!" she said eloquently. "Such a pity! It's not like Julie a bit. She used to be such a decent sort, but now you really can hardly tell her from the other Julie. Bred in the bone I suppose!" "Are the two Julies really very much alike, Miss Gardner?" he ask- ed with an effort. Doris hesitated, pursing up scarlet lip. "The other Julie is really better looking," she said after a moment, "Most men call her beautiful, but to me ... well, I used to prefer this Julie until lately." "You mean--has she really chang- cd s0 much?" Doris laughed. "It may sound absurd, but she has! Every one ls commenting up- on the fact. She used to be quite different. Then quite suddenly she altered! She began to haunt places like this and she began to drink too much. If I didn't kow er as well as I do I should say she has had some rotten love affair, but Julie never liked men. She's different to her cousin in that respect at all events." The music stopped once more on the fashionable jarring, questioning noie, "I suppose we must join the oth- ers," Doris said "Hark at Julie! you can hear her voice above all this racket," : Mrs, Ardron's fuce was a study. She was trying 1o smile and look as if si.¢ thoroughiy enjoyed the situa- tion, and yet there was a timid look in Ler eyes as if sle were not quite sure 12 it were fre right thing to laugh or not. . 'Miss Farrow lias peen teiling us that she has a cousin so like her that they are very often mistaken for unc another" she said. "Yes, 50 I understand," Giles sald rather shortly. "It must be very awkward," Mrs Ardron murmured. "I find it rather amusing," Julle sald flippantly. "You don't know my cousin, do you, Mr. Chittenham?" "I have not that pleasure. "Oh, you'll love her," Julie rattled on. "All the men do. She's go} the biggest scalp collection in London." Giles made a little movement to Jiao but Julie was too quick for her "Dance with me, Mr.Chittenham!" she commanded. And before he was aware of it Giles found himself back again in the whirling. throng, his arm round Julie's slim body, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder, He looked down at her and felt that it mush be a dream. The same, and yet such an utterly different Julie to the girl he had held in his arms a few weeks ago. He tried 10 think of something to say, but no words woulda come, and , It was Julie' who broke the silence, "Isn't this a filthy band?" she sald disgustedly. He avoided her eyes as he answer. ed. "My thoughts were so far away. I was" thinking of a wonderful night you and I spent together on the top of the world." "Oh, that!" She laughed careless- ly. "Fancy remembering it! I've forgotten all about it ages ago, Fear- fully uncomfortable, wasn't it? and cold . . . Ugh!" she shivered, "And 80 boring, wasn't it?' "I was not bored." "Really!" she shrugged her white shoulders. "Queer man! Let's talk of something pleasant shall we!" Chittenham's face flamed. "Isn't all this rather--cheap, Julie?" he asked quietly. "For you to deny that we had met before," She made a little grimace, "I thought you might not like to acknowledge me. I'm earning quite a reputation, you know, as the bad girl of the family, I believe even Bim--dear Bim 1s shocked some- times! I believe even Julle--the "Cocktails! It's not like 8 bit.

"Who is he? she asked, Juiie opened her eyes, "Whos Oh, Ochofield. I don't know. He was there tonight, and he seemed rather like a tish cut of water, so I ik compassion on him, Not very interesting, is he?" "Nobody very exciling there to night, Guess?" "I couldn't." "Giles Chitenham." "Oh!" Bim avoided looking at her friend, and Julie rattled on, "He is as charming as ever!" Julle sald PN 4 decent. other Jalie would not be too pleased with me if she knew some of the things I do--" "What things, Julie?" "OUh--just things! men, and things like that." Chittenham caught her slender wrist in iron fingers. "I should like to thrash you," said savagely. For a moment she struggded to free her arm, then suddenly she stood very still looking up at him. "You did thrash me--once," she sald. "Bye-bye, every one! I suppose we shall meet again some day. Doris will tell you where I live, Mr, Chit- tenham, if you ever feel like run- ning in for a cocktail, and if she doesn't remember you've only got to enquire of the police! I'm well known to the police." She laughed again recklessly, wav- ed her hand and strolled back to her own corner where she was greeted with ironical cheers and banter, "Shall we dance?" Doris asked, and he rose at once. He tried not to see Julie as they went round the room, but she seem- ed the only real thing 1 a crowd of unrealities, Laughin-, + 'a;s laugh- ing in that shrill, reckless fashion! He longed to go across to her and pick her up in his arms and carry her away from the noise and heat and glare, and soothe her into rest and sanity again. Bim Lennox sat by the fire, a cig- arette between her Nps, and her feet thrust into a queer-shaped pair of Chinese embroidered slippers. A clock on the narrow mantelshelf had struck four, and Julie was not yet home, It was the third time running that Julie had arrived home in the small hours of the morning, jaded and pale and trying hard to pretend that she had enjoyed herself, "And no man is worth it!" Bim told herself almost savagely as she threw her cigarette end into the grate and rose to her feet. "No man is worth breaking yourself to pieces for!" And Bim knew! For three years she had waited and hoped and suffered and told herself that some day a miracle would happen, but she had been wrong. The only thing that had happened had been that the man she loved had maried an- other woman. "We're such fools! Such pathetic fools!" she told herself, as she walk- ed over to the window and pulled the curtain aside. Presently a taxi- cab turned inio the sireet and stop- ped with a squeaking of brakes out- side the block of flats, Julie at last! Bim listening anxiously. She was not alone, A man's voice was an- swering her iaughing words, and presently the sto; of two people as- cended the stone s'aircase. Bim went to the door, turning up the light as she went, "I thought you were lost!" sald, "Lost!" Julle swept past her into, the flat. "Why should we be lost? A fire! How can you bear it! I'm $0 hot I don't know what to do." The man who had come with her was looking at Bim with enquiring eyes, hesitating in the doorway. "It's usual to introduce people, Julie," Bim said. Julie turned. "Sory, I forgot! This , ." She broke into a little laugh. "I'm sorry, I've forgotten your name,' she told the man. "One meets s0 many people! This is my friend, Miss Lonnox--" "My name is Scliofleld--Lawrence Schofield, the man said. He was rather an ordinary-look- ing man, obviously a gentleman, and not very young, He kept looking at Bim in a half-puszled, half-apolo- getic way, and after a few desultory remarks he sald good-night. "Good-night!" Julie twitted him. "Don't you mean good-morning? It's nearly five. Without knowing why, Bim felt rather sorry for Schofield; she went to the door with him and offered her hand. ¢ "Good-night, and thank you for seeing Julie home. Bim bolted the door and came back into the room. he Julie had lit-a cigarette, but it airily, "I danced with him once or twice--once, I think! I asked him to come and see us some evening." "Julie!" "Well, why not?" Julie snapped her eyes open defiantly. "It will be nice to have a fresh 'man to go out with." Bim rose to her feet with a little shiver, "I'm going to bed," she said. "All right, - Pleasant dreams, and thank you for waiting up." Bim got as far as the door, then she came back, "Julie!" "Well?* . "Don't be a little fool, Julie dear-- about Giles Chittenham .., When we left Switzerland you sald you hated him and that you hoped you would never see him again. I don't know why--I don't want to know, but--" "I don't know why either," Julie interrupted ruthlessly, "I'm chang- ed quite changed ... I used to be such a fool--priggish! unsophisti- cated. But that's all gone now, and I'm much happier." "Happier!" "That's what I sald," Julie sald defiantly. : Bim stood looking at her for a. moment, then with a liitle helpless shrug she turned away. The door closed between them. Julie stayed where she was, her eyes fixed on the fire. "Changed, quite changed," she told herself fiercely. "I don't care about any- thing any more, Nothing can hurt me. What's the use of trying to go straight and be what people call 'good'! It's much better not to care for any one--not to care ,,." She bit her lip hard, and closed her eyes as if in sudedn pain. "Ill make him suffer--I'll make him suffer--" she whispered. A chance twist in the wheel of fate threw Lawrence Schofield across Julie Farrow"s pathway in the Faun cafe, Schofield was a widower. His wife had been neurotic and fretful, and for eleven years she had done her best to crush every instinct of Joy and cheeriness out of her hus- band's heart. He was nearly fifly, and he could not remember that he had ever had what is called "a good time" in all his life until that night when some: chance acquaintance took him along to the Faun and introduced him to Julie, : To him she was like a creature from some entirely different world, He was not sufficiently versed in modern ways to recognise her reck- less artificiality; to him she was a creature of light and happiness, The short ride home with her in the chill, early hours of morning had been a revelation to him. Tonight he felt younger than he had ever felt.
