Based on last year's net profit per- centage, something between $4,000 and $5,000 should go to eredit of the Children's Playground Fund following last night's effort, The final net profit may, it is. believed, be nearer $5,000 than the lower figure, Oshawa's great night of earnical has come and gone, The tented citadel of generous mirth which blossomed Wednesday evening on the four blocks nearest the city's for corners vanished with the dawn. But today, while busy officials at the Dominion Bank continue the tedions work of auditing the thovsands of dollars which flowed in a steady stream of joyous benevolence into the tills of Rotary Stwect Fair booths, the Children's Playground venture stands crowned with sure success, All. the things that the Rotary Club hoped for the Children's Playground on Centre Street are now accomplished so far as finance: and publie support is concerned. The rest is merely a matter of time, The summer of 1928 will find the Children's Park open for the happy business 'of supervised play nnd the making of Overthe- flower 'bordered strip which makes thé park Centre Street will come the laughter of the little people enjoying the special amusements of their own reserved acre, Beyond them the 1 : » Rock Garden's terraced loveliness will look down upon an area devoted to the next oldest group, and ac) oss the meadows playing fields for older boys and girls to the Swimming Pool beaches erowded with young water lovers. There will be, very probabiy , a elud house for Boy Scouts of Oshawa, and sooner or later the Campfire Girls will have their own citadel of comradeship. All these things follow months of effort by the Rotary Club, eu!- BYRD ARRIVES IN TORONTO WITH PARTY Noted Flier is Accompanied By French Minister--Lands at Leaside CAME FROM BUFFALO Given a Civic Welcome-- Made the Trip in Forty Minutes (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Aug. 25.--A Ford-Stout monoplan: with Commander Richard E.
