PRINGE AIDS WOMAN IN CATCHING TRAIN Steps from the Trans-Canada' Limited to See the Royal Guests Field, B.C., Aug. 17.--fwo royal princes, a crowd, 8 woman left be- hind, and a car racing the Trans- Canada over the Rockies, provided Field today with a thrill worthy of the movies, It was all entirely un- expected, When the royal train slip- ped into Field, the Trans-Canada eastbound, stood at the opposite platform, There was the usual crowd gathered to give greeting to the Prince of Wales and Prince George. The two brothers stepped from their car, strolled nonchantly down the platform and chatted with the crowd, From the Trans-Canada a minute or two before a woman had stepped. She held a through ticket for Montreal 'where she is taking a steamer for Europe, but the Princes and the crowd were in- teresting, so interesting indeed, that she did not notice the Trans- Canada quietly slipping out. When she looked around the train was gone and with it went her boat connection in Montreal, She looked aronnd helplessly, not knowing what t 0, » go, Prince of Wales noticed her plight and immediately enquired if something could not be done for ber. There was only one way. From Field eastward the trans-Canada has to climb slowly by spiral tun- GIVEN SHOWER © (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 17.--A miscellan- | eous kitchen shower was the fea- ture of the evening when a sur- . prise party was tendered to Mr. and 'Mrs, James Sleightholm at the Sleightholm home om Brock street south. More than a score of the, Whitby young people were present | to .do honour to the recently mar- | ried couple and a very enjoyable time was spent, FLOODS RAGE IN NANSAS TOWNS! 75 Blocks in Wichita Are Inundated -- Relief in 'Sight Topeka, Kans.,, Aug. 17.--While Kansas towns continued to battle flods from raging streams late to- day, a brightly shining sun that stopped two weeks of heavy down- pours gave promise that the end was in sight, Salina was fighting its worst flood since 1902, 756 blocks In Wichita were inundated and Hutchinson prepared for a flooding tonight, as high waters rushed toward the town from the northwest. Hundreds of homes in west and! northwest Salina already were surs rounded by water from Dry Creek | today when the Smoky Hill River rose suddenly, broke its bounds and poured a stream into the east and southern sections of the eity. in some low sections the water] was up to the second storeys of houses, and virtually all families living west of she Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks there were forced to abandon their homes, It was! etimated that 1,000 houses were ' flooded in Salina. | The Big and Little Arkansas River is approaching record levels, at Wichita, where 75 blocks of residential and industrial property in the north section of the city were inundated with from one to three feet of water, A further rise of the streams was predicted, pels up to the great divide before it drops down on the Alberta side of | the Rockies. On that stretch a fast car travelling over the highway can beat it by a few minutes. The Canadian Paeific Railway agent from Field offered 'his own car. The woman hestitated, obviously doubtful that the dramatic race could be won. Capadian Pacific Railway officials hastened to as- sure her that she need have no fear and a moment later she disappeared in a cloud of dust and the Prince of Wales stepped aboard the royal train.

THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, "" THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1927 ANNOUNCES NEW MODEL | ROTARY CLUB'S STREET FAIR (Continued from page 1) but more money is needed, and it is believed that citizens in general want a share in the credit for this fine work. The children's playground will be a fairyland for the little folk. It will be in use both winter and summer, ac- cording to plans already drawn up. In r, its swimming pool will pro- vide safety for all using it; its play- ing fields will provide grounds for young softball and football players, On the hillside, the younger children will find swings, teeters, sand piles and many other recreational devices to make them both happy and healthy, It will be remembered that in 1926, the Rotary Street Fair's proceeds went to building of the Red Cross cottage at Lakeview Park. As a direct result, over a hundred children will have been given two weeks' health-building holidays there by the opening of the school. That work, firmly established, will go on from year to year, The second great need is for a supervised play- ground, properly equipped. This year's fair, it 1s believed, will more than meet that need. . Hot Dogs and Roses Booths that will raise their flag- draped invitation to fun and service on Tuesday evening in down-town Oshawa cover everything from a mys- terious side show to weighing mach- The sizzling hot dog will fill the street with their own aroma, while rose girls will move through the throng with basket loads of the queen of flowers, There will be balls to throw at a nigger-head--they are called 'cocoa- nut shys" in the old land--and races, fortune telling, a grand parade, and novelties that will fill each minute with laughter and happiness, Ernie Marks, Alex Storie, Gordon Conant, Art Lovell and Stan Everson are the Rotary Club's management committee. They have ruled that club members working in the fair must ap- pear in distinctive uniforms of white coats and caps. At the blanket booths, Ernie Marks, Ormie Burns and Gordon Lefebyre will have charge of one; while Frank Johnston, Jack Beaton and Fred Bailes will be the sales force at the other, At the very beginning of the cata- logue, it is emphasized that every ar- ticle sold will be worth the money, More than that, the purchasers will have the satisfaction of knowing that CE, ("Mac') McTAVISH Operator in chief of one of the Rotary Street Fair's hot dog stands which will do a land of- fice business Tuesday evening, August 23, Mr, McTavish states that an entirely new and im- proved model of hot dog--featur- ing rich upholstery and an im- proved line of accessories--will be offered the diseriminating pub- lic by himself and staff con- sisting of Bill Knight, Assistant Cupids Rill Karn with Fred Hare and Alf, Hind as assistant cupids, will stage a Dart game. Candy will be the reward of valor and the prize of beauty at this booth, Stewart Storey, with Newt Johns and George Edmunds as members of the Bing family will direct a riot of fun at the Bingo booth. Chester Smith will be the manager at the ladies' wear booth, with Art Germond and G. Mil- ler as salesmen.

The Amalgamated Costumers of Paris are making their first annoyncement at Tuesday night's Rotary Street Fair, Murray Miller, assisted by Bill Tait, will have charge of one of the "Hit the Nigger and Win a Prize" booths, The other is in George Henley's hands. Just who are to put their heads in jeopardy as the targets is being kept dark. For novelties that are truly novel, see George Hezzlewood and Company, whose partners, not silent, are Wilse Drew, Albert Crowle and Dr. T. W, G. McKay. You remember having seen toy halloons that float? Here's your chance! You will atso want a fancy hat, Hezzlewood and Company will supply them! But that's just the beginning, the novelties will run the their purchases will go to make Osh- awa a happier city for children, i An evening-long serial ent'tled "If | Winter Comes" will be staged at two ! sweater booths presided over by Mor- | whole gamut of mirth, appealing to old and young, the married and the single. Now for refreshments, George Hart, assisted by Dave Brown and John Burns, with Albert Goyne and Leo Gray, will dispense ice g¢ream in cones, dixies and flagons. The finest of ice cream will be accompanied by the finest of service. Ice cream, congenitally cold, will naturally lead the throngs of Fair sightseers to the Hot Dog booths. Here Brainard Carlyle with Martin Libby and Jim Fowlds, and Mac Mac- Tavish with Bill Knight will dispense the red hot weiners with practiced hands. Those that dislike hot dogs may demand cold pups--and get them, One may also order chicken a la king, and see what happens! The dogs which will be served at the Ro. tary Street Fair are guaranteed as to quality, thermal efficiency and excel- lence of servivng. Only the best mus- tard and other trimmings will be al lowed, See the Races Joe Welsh, with Charlie Bailes, will preside at the races. It is rumored that that gentleman will be on hand to give "hot tips." Stan Phillips, assist od by Orra Alger, will be Chief Bar- ker for the Ring Throwing contest.

In addition, a clown band will go its happy way from there to here and back again, There will he melody by night and joy will be unconfined. Dave Tod, with Bob Henderson, Albert Goyne and N. Johns as aides de camp, will see to that part, The Grand Parade, blazing with lights and merriment, will me staged by their efficient committee. The parade will move through Osh- awa's main streets, inviting all to the great carnival of innocent fun and civic good will, ; Behind. the scenes, Albert Swail is already busy with lumber supplies for the various booths; Albert Cutler is the Fair's purchasing agent and it is said with authority that he is buying more and of better quality than any WR previous fair ever knew. Norm Henry is the treasurer; A. R. Alloway is in charge of advertising. But two important booths have been neglected until now. The first of these is the Alarm Clock booth, under Art Whattam. This is a wonderful op- portunity to replace the alarm clock you threw out of the window the morning after you annual vacation, or the one aimed at the serenading cat. The casualty percentage of alarm clocks is very high, yet what is home without one? Les McLaughlin heads the Umbrella Booth, umbrellas for ladies and gen- tlemen. The motto is: "Why not own your own umbrella?" The service giv- en is of the highest order. All um- brellas will be tested if desired. Spec- ial arrangements have been made with the fire dpartment to this end. It will be a great fair and a great night. Everybody is coming. Smiles, laughter, friendship, all these will add to the lustre of the street illumina- tions. And, through it all, like a gol- den thread, will run the knowledge that the fun and frolic is dedicated to a noble end--the Childhood of Osh. awa, youngest of Canadian cities, FIRST TYPHOID VICTIM Chatham, Ont.--Charles Maxwell Beamer, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, G.
