Ellison, touring Can- ada in the interests of Toc H, that crganization for service which is lighting the Lamp of Brotherhood in all parts of the British world! will be in Oshawa on Wednesday, October 12, for a preliminary meet- ing, loeking towards organizing a Jocal branch. This meeting to take place one week from today, will be held in Welsh's parlors on King sireet where a representative gath- ering of prospective members will greet their distinguished guest. "Toc H" is an organization of which the Prince of Wales is pa- tron, It owes its birth to that Tal- bot House of Poperinghe and Ypres where a devoted chaplain of the 'British armies planted a home of grace in the midst of battle, Following the war, the comrade ship of "Toc H" which is simply the signaller's abbreviation for Tal- bot House, was formed in London and from that beginning other Toé H Marks were established in all parts of the Empire. Realizing that if the organization were confined only to veterans of the war it would die with the gen- eration that gave it life, it was de- cided to open its membership to in- clude all to whom its high ideals make such a strong appeal. The "Toc H" movement has grown and will continfie to grow. Tt is believed that-there is"a splendid field for the organization in Osh- awa and a strong charter member- ship is confidently anticipated. Padre Ellison. who will address the gathering at Welsh's parlors next Wednesday night is one of the Empire's reat Soldiers of the Cross.

NEW WINTER GARDEN A GREDIT TO CITY! Can Be Fittingly Called a Bower of Beauty--Formal Opening Held Formal opening of the Winter Garden on North Simcoe street over the Motor City Bowling Ciub took place last night when =everal hun- dred yung folks turned out to enjoy a splendid evening of - wholesothe dancing (0 the strains of music from Fred Stevenson and his To- ronto orchestra. Citizens, especially bowlers would not recognize the scene and many who attended last nights format opening were amazed with the many changes that had taken within the past few weeks, iransforming the third floor from a bowling alley into a veritable bower of beauty, Entering the specious quarters at the top of the stairs one is immed- fately satisfied with the "homey" manner n which the scheme is ar- ranged. Refreshment stands and checking rooms are at the rear of the floor fthus leaving plenty of space to allow the dancers to in- dulge in their favorite pastime. The dance floor itself is unsur- passed in Eastern Ontario and it is doutful if many of. the larger cen tres can offer a hall as beautiful and up-to-date as the Winter Gar- den. The name "Winter Garden" is most suitably applied. Imitatior trees supply many beautiful Maple leaves, which are intermingled wit} Ferns of various kinds, Palms auc Roses also tend to beautify the floor. Persons desiring reireat- ma) find comfortable chesterfields or the side away from : the passing throng, but yet within hearing dis tance of the charming music. Dancing in the Winter Garden will be held regularly throughout the fal and winter months on Tues- day, Thursday and Saturday nighis, whie the remaining Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday evenings will be open to private parties. Service ex- tended by the management is of the most courteous nature and this alone was the subject of much fav- orable comment at, the formal op- ening last night. Oshawa can well be proud of Winter Garden as it is without a doubt, the finest and most exclusive dance hall in this district, The mu- sie provided will always be of the hest and this alone is a feature in itself. ri ------------------ SNOW HALTS HARVEST !

Professor Caesar, of O.A.C., Guelph, Provincial Enty- mologist, Addresses Body, Shcwing Results of Gov- ernment Action -- Oscar Downey is Named Inspector (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 5--A special meet- ing of the County Council was held yesterday. The prime purpose of the meeting was to appoint an In- spector under the Corn Borer Act. Professor Caesar from the Agri- cultual College, Guelph, Provincial Entymologist, was present and gave an address, telling of the condi- tions of the Rorer infestation in the various ,parts of the province, and showing the results that have been obtained by the Government's means of control. According to Professor Caesar, the Borer has now spread as far north as Sault Ste. Marie. It has been found on the islands of Manitoulin and St. Joseph. Outside of eight counties in which the control meas- ures were tried out last vear, the numbers of the pests have increased tremendously, in some cases being double and in others quadruple the number for last year No authoriz- ed statement has yet been given out by the Department of Agriculture as to the effectiveness of the control measures but Professor Caesar told the Council that there had been a decided decras in five out of the eight countries that had been con- trolled and very slight; if any, in. crease in the three others. The object of the control meas- ures is to ensure that no part of { one year's crop is left above ground | after May 20 of the next year. Field operations consist in cutting as low to the ground as possible and then ploughing under the stubble which may or may not be 1 dberfoe may ploughing Anything still left above ground is then picked up and taken off. In the spring the land is worked with a disc rather than a cultivator to avoid bringing the stalks to the top again. Where the stalks are fed whole to cattle, care must be taken to see that none are left in th barn or in the manure heap. The Borer spends the winter in the corn stalks and by destroying these the borer is killed also, The origin of the pest was asked. Professor Caesar said that it was in- troduced Into Canada from Austria in a shipment of broom corn to St. Thomas in the year 1910. The matter of making an appoint- ment was left in the hands of the Committee on Agriculture, which was asked to name a man for the position and to report, When the Council met in the af- ternoon the committee reported that it had "been unable to agree on a name and advised going into committee of tLe whole to consider the matter. Three names were pro- posd; Chas Broughton, Oscar Dow ny, and Fred. Rowe, On 2a vote Mr. Downey was given the posi- tion, The salary to be allowed was set at $6 per day including car main- tenance, after a good deal of bick- ering FOUR BABIES DIE IN WINDSOR EPIDEMIC Windsor, Oct. 4.--Two more haby dedths were added today to the toll of fatalities arising out of an outbreak of dysentery at a nursing home operated by Mrs. M.
