The training school has been a most interesting and profitable character, and has re- sulted in the training of a large group of young people for leader- ship in their respective organiza- tions. i : : As usual, the evening's work was started with the supper meeting, at which the voices of the "Poor Crows who Couldn't Caw" had developed, by a week of practice, to the stage where beautiful music was forthcoming. The spirit of good fellowship was very evident and while there was enjoyment of the supper- hour, the supper being provided by the Centre Street and Albert Street young people, it was ting- . that 08 vib te g of regret tha t of the school had been reached. Thanks Expressed The sing-song over, Miss Hazel de Guerre, president of the Cen- tre Young People's Union, extend- ed thanks to the St. Andrew's young people and the officials of the church for the kind way in which the whole building was turned over for the use of the school.

Face Murder Charge Both prisoners are charged jointly with murder and also face five charges of robbery while armed. The latter date back to the Fall of 1930, when they staged five hold-ups in different scctions of the city, it is alleged. The inevitable slip said to be made by all wrongdoers is understood to have provided the clue that led to the ar.est of the two young men, The day after the shooting, a gun, apparently used by the alleged ban- dits, was found in a backyard in the vicinity of the shooting by Plain- clothesmen Elliott and Baker, of Cowan Avenue police station. Scv- eral days ago the gun was identi- fied as the one-time property of a (Continued on page 3) SIR HERBERT SAMUEL GIVES PLEDGE TO SUPPORT SCOTTISH HOME RULE Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 15.--- Sir Herbert Samuel, who resign- ed from the office of Home Secre- tary in the National Government because he was opposed to tariff increases, last night pledged lLim- self and his followers to strive for home rule for Scotland. Sir Herbert told a deputation of the Scottish Nationalist Party here that he and his followers had reached unanimous agree- ment recently favoring home rule for Scotland and 'as far as our Powers extend we won't allew it 10-be put aside or postponed." The aims of the party include government of Scotland by a sep- arate legislature from the Parlia- ment of the United Kingdom something after the pattern of that in Northern Ireland, but without the representation in parliament which Northern Ire- land enjoys. . Yesterday's pronouncement by Sir Herbert Samuel was the first official indication that any politl- cal party represented in Parlia- ment would undertake to spon- sor Scottish home rule in the British and Swedish Royalty in One Group BRITISH PRINCES ATTEND OPERA IN STOCKHOLM A special performance of the Royal Opera was given in Stockholm for the Prince of Wales and his brother, Prince George, visiting in Sweden.

FINE RECORD IN LIFE INSURANCE Oshawa District Stands First in Dominion For London Life Company An indication that conditions in the Oshawa district are not so bad as is generally supposed is glven in the official magazine of the London Life Insurance Company, Limited, for the last month. In this marazine, it is shown that the Oshawa superviso rate 'led the whole Dominion in the issue of new life insurance policies for the month and that it stands seventh in the whole Dominion in the amount of paid- up insurance. In the standing of agents for the number of lives in- sured for the year to date, J. C Horton, district manager for the company at Oshawa, stands sec- ond in the whole Dominion, being led by A. L., Spracklin of Toron- to, by only one life insured. These two district managers have been running a neck and neck race all year,, and Mr, Hor- ton's standing is a credit to him- self and to the district. In the list of what is called the "Big Ten" of supervisors for the year, Mr, Horton is in fourth place in the dominion, These reports indicate that, so far ad the London Life Insur- ance Company ig concerned, busi- ness in Oghawa is keeping up to a high level as compared with the rest of Canada.

A, B.D, who has been administer- ing to the spiritual needs of the con- gregation for some time, was form- ally inducted by Oshawa Presbytery as minister of the church, Rev. Mr, Brown by his true christian spirit has endeared himself to his congre- gation, which since his arrival has shown an increased interest in the activities of the church with large congregations being present at all services, It is relt that the induc- tion of Rev, Brown will be only the commencement of a great era in the activities of the church, The service was conducted by Rev.

Newspapers gave prominence to despatches from Glasgow, Scotland, in which Sir Herbert Samuel, recently resigned from the national cabinet post of home secretary, was quoted as telling a deputation of the Scottish Na- tionedists Liberal Party, intended to sponsor a measure aiming to bring home rule to the northern half of the United Kingdom. Later at Perth, Sir Herbert outlined five points of the pro- gramme designed to ease unem- ployment in the United King- dom. The points were: 1--Free channels of world trade; 2--De- velop trade with Soviet Russia; 3--Take active measures to re- juvennte agriculture; 4---Estab- lish free use of capital; 5h--Les- sen the burden of remunerative taxation. In both anouncements the commentors saw the start of a determined effort of the Liberals to regain a place in the political sun, from which they have grad- ually slipped during the past ten years, Observers noted, too, that the veteran David Lloyd George, former prime minister, appeared left out in the cold in the pro- gramme of re-organization, Thus a woman at Willesden Po- lice court.

McCormick states "I was amazed at the orderly discipline, To see about eleven hundred young people of teen age form up and fyle out in formation at the first sound of the alarm, in the way they did at the Collegiate vesterday, is concrete ev- idence .of the value of the fire drill which thev all went through regu- larly in the public. and separate schools, They just get up from their seats, into formation and walk out like clock-work" said Col.

Enjoyable Dance The second annual dance of the Oshawa Yacht Club was held last evening, Friday, October 14th, in the Masonic Hall. The stage was appropriately decor- atéd, sails of the Club dinghy» forming a background for the orchestra. Clever wall panels de- nicting scenes of the past sea- ion"s races and programs ar- ranged in nantical terms were in- teresting featnres of the decorat- ing scheme. Members of the Club fn their white flannels and Club hlazers were most felicitous for the comfort of their guests, while the Dance Committee composed of Bill Hart, Lionel Hind and El- don Stacev deserve special men- tion for their efforts in making the affair a success. The excel- lent music supplied by Thomn- son's orchestra added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening.
