The Hymn Tune Arrangement on the well known hymn tune "Duke Street" brought forward something very. familiar to all. We were struck with the fine fluencies and the stylistic subtleties of this item. the weaving and interweaving of harmonies and descants was both d | thoughtful and beautiful. The. Male Choristers brought something new to these programs. Composed of the youngest members of the band, they sang two negro spirituals. Considering they were not coloured, the style was as close to the original' as we have heard. This group should be encouraged to do more of this. The program closed with the ren- dition of a specially requested march "Fielding." Taken as a whole, the band plays pure brass band music, never noisy, never uncertain, It has a pure tone, lost throughout their concerts.

WEST DIAL 5-3589 In a setting of green lawn, flow- ers and foliage, lit by summer sunshine and cooled by June breezes, members of St. George's Anglican Church and their friends gathered behind the church yester- day for the cutting of the first sod for the new parish hall, It was an impressive ceremony, The congregation having assemb. led around the site of the new building, the rector, Rev. Canon D. M. Rose, his assistant, the Rev. Duncan MacLean, rector's warden James Jackson and the choir of St. George's under Leon B. Nash entered in processional. After the singing of the opening hymn, "The Church's One Founda- tion,' the rector pronounced these opening sentences: 'Except the Lord build, the house, their labor is but lost that build it;" "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." CROSSES PLACED The rector, standing before the altar set up.at the heart of the site then offered a prayer for the blessing of the crosses. Handing a Latin Cross {0 a member of the Sunday School, Scout Patrol Lead- er 2nd David Collins, the réttor said: 'Take this, the sym of our redemption, place it at the horth- west corner of the site, as sign that the Risen Christ is owner of this ground and of all that shall be erected thereon." The scout then carried the white cross over the rubble of bricks and mortar that was all that was left of the old parish hall, and carefully set it 'up at the designated spot. Canon Rose George's Cross to Mrs. B. C. Col*® pus, a member of the Women's Guild, saying: "Take this, emblem of the patron saint of the parish, place it at the south-east corner of the site in token that the building to be erected thereon shall be de- voted to the teaching of Christ's ideals of chivalry, courage and un- selfishness." Mrs. Colpus then set up the red cross at the designated place. The rector handed the St. An- drews Cross to Robert J. Brown, chairman of sidesmen, saying: "Take this, emblem of St. Andrew and place it at the south-west corn- er of the site to proclaim that the building to be erected thereon shall contributed to' the extension of Christ's Kingdom among men and boys and to the building of brother- hood among all men." This red cross was then set up in the rubble at the south-west corner. To Mrs. Williams, a member of the Women's Auxiliary the rec- tor handed the W.A. Cross, and said: "Take this the badge of the Women's Auxiliary to the Church of England in Canada, and place it at the north-east corner of the site to signify that the building to be erected thereon shall be used to forward the work of extending Christ's Kingdom everywhere." Mrs. Williams then set up the cream-colored cross at the appro- priate. site. PROGRESS REPORT There followed a prayer for the dedication of the site. The treasur- er of the building fund, S. T. Hop- kins, gave a brief statement on the progress of the fund. After which, Mrs. Eric Green, president of the Women's Guild, handed to James Jackson, chairman of- the building fund, a contribution of bonds for the fund. The worship- pers then sang the hymn, 'Thy hand, O God, has guided." Canon Rose spoke a few words about the history and tradition of the church, recalling that exactly 35 years and three days before, the then Governor-General, His Grace the Duke of Devonshire had presided at the laying of the corner . stone of St. George's Church. And now, said the rector, a new parish hall, of similar design to the church, was shortly to be built and would, he hoped, last as long and serve as graciously as the church itself, Introducing Mrs. F. W, Cowan, who had been associated with the church and rectory from their early beginnings, Canon Rose ask- ed her to turn the first sod for the new parish hall. Queen's Scout James Brough handed Mrs. Cowan the ceremonial shovel, and - she turned the sod to begin the proces- sion of acts which will culminate in the erection of a magnificent new building, an integral part of the church edifice and a great as- set to the community in general. The Rector's Assistant, the Rev. Duncan MacLean, offered prayers of thanksgiving and for persever- ance, followed by the Lord's Pray- er. Canon Rose pronounced the », | benediction, and the ceremony clos- ed with the singing of "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and "God Save the Queen." Seven Pilots Participate In Bombing Test Seven pilots participated in the "bombing" contest, a Sunday-even. ing special, sponored by the On- 'tario County Flying Club. Joe Gerace again come firzt with an. average error of nine yards and runner-up was Don Snape with | average error of 18 yards.

T.- Hopkinsg people's warden | Agar Family Holds Reunion th family reunion of the ae tamily was held on Saturday last at the Woodbridge Fair Grounds. One hundred members of the family from many communities including Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Dav- ey of Ottawa, N. Agar of Toronto and W. R. Agar of Oshawa at- tended. Mrs. W. R. Agar of Brooklin, secretary for the 26 years of the annual reunion had a printed re- port of the families Agar and de- scendants, Over five hundred mem- bers are alive today. The family came from Yorkshire England to angda in 1832 and settled at Nash- ville, Ontario. The fifth generation, Anns Agar, Nashville, is living to- day on the original farm that his forefathers bought for pounds from the crown. The written record of the family starts in 1706 and an interesting parallel can be drawn. In 1832 one branch of the family went to Africa at the same time as Redard Agar came to Canada. Today there is only one living descendant of that family in Africa, to the over 500 living members of the family in Canada. The family record also showed that families of from 6 to 12 chil- dren were usual. Today there were members of the seven generation of the family at the picnic. There are three members of thé fourth generation still living today. Two of these gentlemen attended the picnic. Mr. George Agar of Isling- ton and Mr. Elmer Agar of Nash- ville. Going back to the family phil- osphy of their great great grand- fathers, the members of the Agar family today still carry the fol- lowing words in their family re- handed the St. cord "All that is great and good should not be underground." Radio Park Is Opened The Radio Park Recreation As- sociation held its opening on Fri- day night, June 13. The attendance prize was won by Jim Shearer, Alexander Blvd. The prize was a basket of gro- ceries donated by the Westmount Lunch. The $10 credit note, donated by Smith Sports, was raffled off and won by June Keenan, Elmgrove Ave. Harry Reddick was the win- ner of a jar of jelly bans. Ben Consen's ponies were there and the Children really kept them busy. The association would like to {hank all the ladies in the neigh- bourhood of Radio Park who donat- ed home made candy and also Mr. Judd for his kind donation. It would also like to thank Miss Joan Hannan of Ajax for a fine display of tap dancing and Jim Morris who supplied us with square dance music and calling. The next meeting will be held at 22 Westmount Avenue on Wednes- day, June 18, at 8 p.m. when the Parks board will give the report on the opening night in detail, A good turn out is hoped for. Photo Engravers Hold Picnic At Lakeview More than 550 chicken dinners were served at the annual 'picnic of Toronto Local 35 of the Interna- tional Photo Engravers' held at Lakeview Park on Saturday. Present were Oshawa engravers and affiliates from Toronto and Ha- milton, Highlight of the picnic was a stage show. Nancy Higgins, Osh- awa accordionist, and the clown, Great Erno, were featured together with a Punch and Judy show and a magician. Amateur contests were held for the small fry and races and relays were held. Prizes were donated by various firms. STORIE PARK TEEN TIMERS By VI WILLIAMS The meeting was opened by the reading of the minutes by secre- tary Ann Arnold which was follow- ed by the treasurer's report.

In an interview with The Times- Gazette Private Hobbs said the Canadians were kept extremely busy with a full training schedule and plenty of manoeuvres. The one gripe was that the troops didn't receive enough weekend passes. STATIONED AT HANOVER Stationed at Hanover, Pte: Hobbs said the German people '"'are very friendly to the Canadians". The Germans did not seem to harbor any ill feelings as a hangover from the war and were satisfied to be partners with the Western democ- racies. They looked up to Britain and the Commonwealth countries. 'But the Germans in the western zone have no use for the Russians', soldier. "Conditions in the Russian- controlled eastern zone are very bad. Prices behind the Iron Curtain are sky-high." are sky-high." The Canadian soldier described the plight of some of his German friends who have relatives in the eastern zone. Particularly heart- rending was the plight of one family whose son was virtually a prisoner of the Russians in Leipzig. Ill-health brought Pte. Hobbs back to Canada. He had a recur- rence of bronchal trouble that he contracted while serving with the Royal Canadian Engineers during the last war. Now he is with the RCASC and is home on 43 days leave prior to getting a redraft in Toronto. TREASURED POSSESSION One of his most treasured pos- sessions and souvenirs of his tour of duty is a copy of The London Times dated November 7, 1805. The valuable newspaper was given to Pte. Hobbs by an 83-year-old wom- an in the English garrison town of Aldershot. The four-page paper, which is magnificiently preserved, is the is- sue which told Britons of the great victory of Lord Nelson at 'Iralfa- gar. Two whole pages are devoted to despatches from Vice-Admiral Collingwood who led the mighty attack with Nelson. According to the Times--the Eng- lish ""Thunderer"--the joy of the Britons was tempered by the sin- cerity and poignancy of grief at the death of their beloved Nelson. The telegraph that Nelson sent into his- tory, "England expects every man will do his duty" is widely quoted together with the haunting death- scene. "That paper and its associations are priceless to me," said P Hobbs. Sunbeam Chapter Parades To Church By ELMA FARROW The Sunbeam Chapter of the! Order of the Eastern Star held its annual Church Parade last evening at Northminster United Church. The church was beautifully decor- ated with baskets of flowers to correspond with the five point star with, colors blue which denotes "Fidelity", yellow for "Constancy"', white for "Loyalty"', green for "Im- mortality" and red for "Love". Tall standards of ferns were used for green Clifford Moore, Past Patron, carried the Eastern Star Flag, Frank Train, Past Patron, carried the Christian Flag, and Lloyd Wood, Worthy Patron carried the Union Jack. The chapter members accompanied by guests from Bowmanville, Whitby and Port Perry chapters marched in using as their processional hymn "Star of the East." The opening prayer was a me- moriam for members who had passed on to the Eternal Chapter during the past year. The basket of white flowers on the Communion Table was also in memoriam. The choir directed by the organ- ist, Miss Mary McRae, sang the anthem 'Soft Were Your Hands, Dear Jesus'. With the idea of a star giving light, Rev. H. A. Mellow chose as his sermon topic "Wisdom"s Light", and said in part 'The story of Creation tells of the dark- ness of the universe and how God said 'Let there be light, and there was light." From the beginning man has struggled for light. Dark- ness has been of ignorance but understanding is light. "The world situation today 1s darkness on the face of the earth and wishful thinking will not bring light. But God is ready to send His word to dispel the darkness caus- ed by man-made clouds. "It has been said that the Scan- dal of the Universe is Man but also the Glory of the Universe is Man. The egotistical, selfish, grasp- ing ways of Man have made him Ithe Scandal but the fact that God chooses to use Man to bring His light has made him the Glory of the Universe. "Education, medicine, psychol- ogy, sociology, and psychiatry are knowledge but wisdom is that which comes from the voice of God telling us what is worth. while in life. God speaks and gives us the ability to be channels for 'His wis- dom and individuals have within them the tirge to know the widom of God. One man did find that wis- dom. Jesus learned what is worth while so completely that through Him has been the greatest illumin- ation of all time." Using as an illustration the verse "The light of the body is the eye, if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light", Mr. Mellow explained the world "single" from the Greek translation as meaning "gracious or generous'. He continued say- ing, "If lives are gracious and gen- erous they shall be full of light; but if there is in a person's life selfishness, greed, pridefulness, an self-esteem, then that life shall be full of darkness. Jesus also said 'Ye are the light of the world', it is not enough for us to be gracious and generous and so be filled with light, God wants the world to have light and it must be gotten through us. If in our life we find God-given light, we should scatter it. It is better for us to be the light of the world than 'to hurl indictments at a potential enemy." Mrs. Mellow concluded his sermon with the bles- sing for the Eastern Star, 'May you light many candles." At the close of the sermon, Les- ter Hartley sang a beautiful solo "The Lord is Light." After the service, the visiting Chapter mem- bers were served lunch at North- minister House where each was given a personal greeting by the Worthy Patron and Worthy Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wood. Scientists Hoping To Unravel Mystery Of Northern Lights By DOUGLAS HOW ' Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian scien- tists think they will unravell within a year or two the mysteries of the brilliant, baffling Northern Lights. The Defence Department's Re- search Board, defying Friday the 13th superstitions with scientific aplomb, officially opened a new laboratory today to continue studies in that field and in many others in the realm of electronics. Lt.-Gen. Charles Foulkes, chair- man of the Chiefs of Staff, opened a laboratory which will arm the board with important facilities for one of the major branches of its work--a field which embraces means for the detection of hostile planes and ships, communications, and other vital defence factors. Reporters, shown only that small fraction of the electronics work which is not secret, found the laboratory a complex world of devices capable of doing anything from measuring the time it takes sound to decay to the speed of & toy rocket. The work on Northern Lights or the Auroral Borealis is one in which Canada is taking the leading part in the Western world and it has various facets. The defence people are concerned mainly because the lights interfere ser- jously with communications up north, One aspect is the 'study of their character. William Petrie, who has been doing that work at the Uni- versity of Saskatchewan and now is with the board, said he feels that "within a year or two we should know what the Auroral Borealis is and what it does in the atmosphere above us.' It has been largely ontirmied since 1950, said Mr. Petrie, that the lights come from particles from the sun passing through the earth's atmosphere and, in doing so, lighting up particles in atmosphere. He compared it to the neon sign in which high-speed electrical par- ticles are shot through gas and light up particles in the gas. The reporters also found scien- tists working with tiny crystal units called transitors which are likely to replace orthodox radio tubes in many ways te.

Dream Now True For Kedron Folk 'STAFF CORRESPONDENT KEDRON.--Sunday, June 15 was marked as one of spirit pervading the Kedron in the words of the Psalmist: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice For this was the day for the dedication United Church. Beautiful in architecture and workmanship and beautiful because it re- presents the highest and best in love and devotion of a peo- ple loyal tq God and His work, that of a small rural com- garding the renovation of the for- mer Church which was built 89 years ago, or building a new chureh. On the evening of April 23, 1951, a representative gather- ing met at the church and a defi- nite motion was carried, unani- mously, to proceed with plans to build a new church. Committees were formed, and immediately set to work. Members of the Building Committee made a study of vari- ous churches and finally decided to adapt the plan of the Orono Church to meet local requirements. MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS The 'first disappointment came work was carried on for three months and a half without a pas- tor. The first sod was turned by R. J. Luke, on July 17, with Rev. Dr. W. P. Fletcher presiding for the ceremony. The next shock was when Percy Chapman, contractor, had to give up owing to ill-health. But whether the need was for a minister, a ccn- tractor, a bee to help with some extra task or the money to meet a financial obligation, in some un- foreseen way the call was met, and the work went on to a suc- cessful conclusion. IMPRESSIVE SERVICE At 2 p.m., Sunday afternoon, the impressive service took place. Rev. George Telford, M.A., D.D., Pres- ident of the Bay of Quinte Con- ference, Oshawa, was the presid- ing minister. Following the singing of 'Ye Gates Lift Up Your Heads," the main door was opened to the pre- siding minister and his assistants, | Rev. M, C. Fisher and Rev. J. <| Moffat. After taking their places at the front of the church, C. F.| Werry, Chairman of the Building | | Committee, presented the keys to! Rev. M. C. Fisher, Chairman of | the Presbytery, who then pre-| sented them to the .presiding min- ister who laid them on the table. | Members of the Presbytery then |read parts of the Holy Scriptures, as follows: Concerning Prayer, Rev. Dr. W. P. Fletcher; The Word of God and preaching of the Gospel, Rev. H. A, Mellow; Bap- tism, Rev. Dr. Lorne McTavish; Confirmatiqn, Rev. Hugh Crozier; Matrimony, Rev. W. P. Rogers; | Burial of the Dead, Rev, Dr. 8. L Osborne; The Lord's Supper, Rev. R. J. Scott. Following the respon- sive Dedication service and suit- able hymns, Dr, Telford closed the | Many plans were discussed re-# service with the formal words of dedication and the Benediction. During the regular order of Pub- lic Service S. G. Saywell, Oshawa, read the Scripture Lesson, Dr. Tel- ford brought greetings of the Con- ference ang the Presbytery, and commented on the fine church with its atmosphere of worship and rev- erence. Rev, George Pogson, To- ronto, a former Kedron boy, spoke briefly of earlier days amongst the Kedron friends, his work on the Frontiers, and was glad to see that Kedron has this year a stu- dent minister, serving the North- ern Ontario District where much of his work was carried on. Rev. Roy H. Rickard, in good voice, sang ."Open The Gates of The Temple." The Choir number was "The Lord is My Shepherd." (Thomas). Rev. J. K. Moffat, B.A., Chair- man-elect of Presbytery, was chosen to preach the first sermon in the new Church, which he appre. ciated very much, on this historic and memorable occasion. Before the Church came to be a reality, there had to be a yearning, vision at- the end of the furrow, as woms- en were baking, or in the garden. Many had to see the church before it could be set down here. The Church is a magnificent testimony to purity, visible symbol of God's grace.
