Dilling, Harlow, Two Oil Boats Put In Harbor Yesterday in Whitby Harbor is a busy place these days with several large oil tankers in so far this year, Yesterday the "Platts- burg Socony" was in with a 500,000 gallon cargo of fuel oil for Argo. Another tanker is expected early this morning. Work on the breakwaters is proceeding and it is now safe for these large boats to enter and leave the harbor. Har- bormaster . Jack Watson is keeping a weather-eye on things at the port, but keeps wishing the water would sub- side to an average level. Wa- ter still surrounds several small sm=ll cottages on the shore which are used for living accommodation, Importance of Whitby as an oil storage depot is rapidly increasing with plans under way for the erection of ~ several more tanks. At pre- sent several million gallons can be stored at Port Whitby. Twelve Rinks Compete In Mixed Trebles Tournament Lawn bowling rinks from Toron- to, Cannington, Oshawa and Clare- mont were guests of Whitby on Wednesday afternoon and evening when a mixed trebles tournament was held. Play began in the afternoon and continued until about ten in the evening. When the results were totalled up, the club president, Rev. David Marshall, announced the re- sults as follows and presented the prizes: (08) h 52. Whitby--J. M. Hick's rink, for three wins and a score of Members of the rink included Mrs. James Sleightholm and A, B. Edwards. Cannington -- William Living- stone, skip. Three wins. ,(3) Whitby -- James Bell, skip. Rink" members were James Ross and Mrs. Roberts. (4) Runnymede, Toronto -- Mr. Reade, skip. Twelve rinks competed and had a most enjoyable time. The local green is in perfect condition, well kept and with new floodlighting giving it brillant illumination at night. Open Air Service Well Attended At Baptist Church The first of the open-air, drive- in services held at the Baptist Church last Sunday evening, prov- ed quite successful. The minister, in giving the announcements, pointed out that a real endeavour would be made to make the ser- vices as helpful and satisfactory from every standpoint possible. The amplifying system was off for the most of the service, but this has since been remedied, so that all in cars will be able to hear, The platform erected in front of the church porch between the orange blossom bushes provided an attrac- tive setting for speakers and sing- ers as the Gospelaires conducted their service. A further advantage of the ser- vice is that young couples with lit- tle children may bring the carriage, and sit in the car or let the little ones run on the lawn, The desire is to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy the service and feel the inspiration of the Sabbath even- ing hour in a setting of worghip and praise. The service will be held again on Sunday evening at 7.30 with the minister speaking on the subject "What Kind of Church does Whit- by Need?" ESCAPEE RECAPTURED Ajax, July 9--(CP)--A 15-year- old escapee from Bowmanville, Ont. training school was recaptured here Saturday after leading police a merry chase over backyard fences.

Garden Club Article Brings Good Publicity | To Rec. Assoc. Work Entitled "Gardening Is Fun" an article on Whitby Garden Club is written by Rec. Director Gordon McMahon and published in the current issue of the "Community Courier." As would be expected, this type of article provides the best kind of publicity for one phase of the work of Whitby Recreational Association. The articles follows: Most projects start out as small ideas--so with our Garden Club. There had previously been no or- ganization to assist the large num- ber of people who take an active interest in gardening, to further their knowledge through study or group discussion of mutual pro- blems. The idea of a club was ap- proved by our Commission who gave me the names of three people whom I did not previdusly know, bt who, I was informed, were in- terested in gardening. A writter invitation resulted in a small planning group, at which the basic ideas were discussed and made | for an organization meeting. This meeting was publicized through the press and by word of mouth on the part of the committee members. The attendance at the first meet- ing was too small to elect an executive, but those in attend- ance were enthusiastiz and pro- mised to bring out friends at the next meeting. The executive was was elected at the second meeting, and lost no time in drawing up a programme for future meetings Attendance has increased steadily and-at the present time siands in the neighbourhood of 50, with a large - percentage attending all meetings. Membership fees were set at 50c per annum since there appeared to be no expenditures in the offing. However, the rental for the room in which the meetings are held is $1.00 per evening, and this expense a silver collection was to defray | OPEN WHITBY BAPTIST CHURCH To Our Couniry Friends DRIVE-IN SUNDAY EVENING, 7:30 p.m. - TO OUR AIR SERVICE Sit in Your Car. MUSIC -- SINGING -- SPEAKING Enjoy the taken at each meeting. Since the collection usually runs between $2.00 | and $3.00, this has proved an ad- | diticnal source of revenuz. Programmes have varied and have included local and outside speakers. Some of the topics dis- cussed include: Building a Lawn, Care and Culture of Roses, Back d Gardens, Gladioli, Their Care and Culture To elaborate on a particula topic, the talk on Gladioli covere { everything from preparation « soil, preparation of corms for plan'- ing, planting instructions, ¢: iuring growth, spraying for th: in cutting of Llcoms, qualiiic | to look for in a bloom for show pur- | poses, digging out corms in'the f: and treatment for winter storag There have been several demon- strations, including grafting « fruit trees and cutting of Dahli tubers, cut flower arrangement, etc. Occasionally the above talks 'and demonstrations are supplemented by motion pictures or slides ob- tained thrcugh the Ontario Hor- ticultural Society. Seasonal contests are held at meetings for the best blooms of a particular type, and the best group of vegetables or best arrangement of flowers then in bloom. The largest project undertaken by the club to date, was a Garden Club Show, at which there were classes for all varieties of flowers {and vegetables. This Show was | held during the last week in Au- gust. Small cash prizes were a- {warded for show winners, plus special prizes of bulbs or plants which were donated by club mem- | bers.' A silver collection which was taken at the door, and the money received from the auctioning of the flowers and vegetables following othe show, was more than enough to pay for all the prizes, By way of civic improvement, the club is currently sponsoring a GARDEN CLUB (Continuec on Page 2) Boys And Girls Happy, Learn Useful Crafts At Day Camp Near Here > A visit to "Camp Hood" yester- day, the day camp being operated through July for Whitby boys and girls just north of town, is a revel- ation of the fine recreational work being carried out by Rec. Director Gordon McMahon and his assist- ants. In the deep woods, educational classes are given dally. Bible in- struction is given by various clergy- men of the town. There are hikes. Those attending are divided into groups for competition purposes, each bearing an intriguing name such as "White Panthers," "Iro- quois," the sort of names that boys' groups love. Then there is a suitable swimming hole right on the grounds. The water of the creek is always warm. Depth is just right for both the young and inexperienced, yet it is deep enough in one spot for those who like to dive. Average attendance at the camp "~ School Results, S.S.

Coal Oil Stove Fire Call Easily Handled Thursday Whitby firemen got a brief work- out yesterday morning when an oil stove belonging to Mrs. "Melville Brennan of 210 Henry St. burst into flame. No damage was done. The blaze started at 940 am. when Mrs. Brennan tried to light a second burner on the three burn- er stove. "I had the centre burner on for more than an hour," ex- plained Mrs. Brennan. "And when I lit the one beside it, the flame flared up and began to lick at the paint on top of the stove." Both burners were immediately turned off but flames continued to dance along the surface of the stove. A hurried call for help brought Robert Wagstaff of Henry St. N. to the scene and he managed to remove the offending stove to the front lawn. By the time fire- men ~rrived the flames had petered out. The stove had been overhauled and repainted only a week ago and it was the fresh paint that attracte ed the flames, it was believed. "I'm going to leave it right there on the front lawn until the meg come home," remarked Mrs. Bren- nan.
