The delay is oe- casioned chiefly by the great vol- ume of advertising received for this edition, and indication of the high place held by the city of Osh- awa in the opinions of far-sighted business men, In view of the numerous en- quiries which have been made con- cerning the nature and contents of this production, a word in this connection may be of general in- terest. The Greater Oshawa Edition of The Oshawa Daily Times. will con- stitute a survey of the city's pro- gress with special regard to con- structional undertakings, Feature articles will embody an illustrated description of the more important undertakings and pro- Jects. Prospective home-makers will find outstanding interest and help- ful ideas in reproductions of at- tractive photographs of many of the city's beautiful homes, For such readers added value will at- tach to a discussion of modern methods of construction and uyp- to-date applications of building equipment, Supplementing a wide range of descriptive staff articles there will be special contributions fiom men prominent in the public eye, "The Significance of the. O:zhawa Harbor Project" will be discussed by G, D, Conant; valuable pres- entations will be made by C, C. Stenhouse, Roy H, Bishop, and other leading architects; the City Engineer will review municipal engineering development; ¥, How- ard Annes will consider the possi- bilities of an airport. The nore general features include a valued essay 'Creative Periods of ihe World's History" by the Reverend Father Bench, and a presentation "Constructive Qualities Applied to National Life" by ¥. L. Fowke, ex- Mayor of Oshawa and ex-Member of the Dominion Parliament. Original illustrations of out- standing interest will be present- ed in the pictorial section, A full page reproduction of a mosaic map of the city of Oshawa will be one 'of these. This map, which was made for the military authorities and is being used hy special per- mission, is made up of thirteen aerial photographs, taken at a height of ten thousand feet above the ground. The manner in which it was taken will be described in one of the feature articles, This may will provide our readers with a valuable lesson in aerial map- reading. Among the panoramic photo- graphs will be found a single pic- ture embodying a view of Simcoe stregt north and south and King street east and west, The reader may wonder how such a photo- graph is possible. The illustration in the Greater Oshawa Edition will provide the explanation, An- other panoramic -view shows the Oshawa sky-line and still another a view of the golf course, the finest in the province. Industrial groups will furnish an interesting complement, The demands for advertising space in this edition are an in- dication of the hold that it will take upon public imagination in the opinion of discriminating ad- vertisers. It was largely at the urgent solicitation of prospective advertisers that the publishers of The Oshawa Daily Times arranged to defer publication of the Greater Oshawa" Edition for another week. Remember the date, Saturday, August 11th--the same day as the General Motors' picnic. If you pro- pose sending copies of this at- tractively illustrated Greater Osh- awa Edition to your friends at home or abroad, be sure to notify the Times office early next week, as there will be no possibility of reprinting such a voluminous issue. The price will be -ten cents each. All regular subscribers will receive a copy. A saxophone, I read, may be heard distinctly one mile away.

ONTARIO REGIMENT 100 STRONG LEAVE FOR NIAGARA CAMP Brigade Join 25th Infantry ~--Will Be Under Canvas Till Monday More than 100 officers and men of "A" and "B" companjes, On- tario Regiment, also the Ontario Regimental Band boarded the Ca- nadian National 7,27 p.m. west- bound train at the station last night en route for Niagara Falls where the regiment will be under canvas until Monday. The mem- bers of the militia seemed quite joyous about going to camp, and a large crowd was present at the station to see them off. It was al- most a reminder of wartime days to see the khaki-clad figures wav- ing hands and caps from the win- dows of the coaches as the train sped away. At Whithy the regi- ment was joined by "B'" company, with its bugle band, making the full complement. It is estimated that 150 men including all units went to camp last night, while this total will be swelled over the week-end as a number will be un- able to leave until Saturday. The regiment is in charge of Lieut.- Col. Frank Chappell, of Oshawa, and Major R. B. Smith, of Colum- bus, senior and janior commanding officers, WHITBY GIRLS TROUNCE BUICKS Forrester's Clever Hurling Baffles Motor Team in the Ladies' Softball League . (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug, 3.--The local girls' softhall team encountered little dif- ficulty in trouncing the Buicks of Oshawa 17-3 in a lop-sided Oshawa Ladies' Softball League contest play- ed before a fair-sized crowd at the town park last night. The visitors were never dangerous during the whole nine innings while credit must be given to the Rovers (as we learn they call themselves) for their air- tight performance, Nothing went hy either the infield or the outfield and it was a treat to watch the girls peg the ball. On more than one occasion fast double plays were pulled off cut- ting the Buicks' time at bat to a minimum. There was but one inci- dent to mar the game, when Effie Watson, who holds down left field for the locals, stumbled and fell at home plate in the third innings while mak- ing a run. Although she had evi- dently hurt her left wrist Effie game- ly stuck' it out until the 4th innings, when it hecame known that she had suffered a sprain, For the sake of the team it is to be hoped that this will not keep her out of any games as she is very valuable to the outfield and has a splendid record for bat- ting, Fhe Buicks failed to count in the first innings while Whitby opened up with a run when McBride came home on a passed hall. The visitors received a run in the 2nd frame however, when Farrell, who had secured a hit, was advanced to second and third by Cheeseboro and Tyrell respectively, and scored on a wild pitch, Whitby earned two more runs however, and in the third dazzled the Buicks with some heavy clouting so that six times a runner crossed the plate before the dust had cleared. The Buicks were guilty of some conspicuous errors in the in- field which accounts largely for their downfall. Oshawa in 6th Only in the 6th innings were the Oshawa girls dangerous. Siblock se- cured a beautiful triple and was scor- ed by Ferguson who followed with a double. Crowl flew out to Long, but Farrell next to bat, managed to bring Ferguson home with a hit. Cheese- boro reached Ist on an error through 3rd and with two on bases, the visi- tors had a golden chance to gather in some runs. But the chance did not mature when Tyrrell fanned and Cassidy flew out to Bandel for the third out. The locals again raced ahead in the eighth to score 5 more runs. To Thelma Parker goes the honor of se- curing the only circuit hit of the ev- ening and it came in during the 8th accompanied by loud applause from the gallery. Thelma had been off her stride at bat for several innings and was having difficulty in hitting other than fouls. Finally, however, she made a perfect connection for a low, fast grounder which zipped its way far beyond left field area. The Buicks went down in the ninth in one, two, three order, leaving the final score 17-3. The score by inn- ings: Buicks 010 002 000-- 3 126 101 15x--17 Whitby The line up: : Buicks--Battery, Siblock and Fer- guson: infield, Reece, McKernon, Farrell and Cassidy ; outfield, Tyrrell, Crowl and Cheeseboro. Whithy--Battery. Forrester and Long: infield, Blow, L. Watson, Scott and McBride; outfield, E. Watson, Parker and Bandel. "How old is your son?" asked the visitor. Well," replied the dad, "he's reach- ed that age when he thinks the most important thing to pass isn't his ex- amination but the car ahead." "My wife weighs in the neighbor- hood of three hundred pounds." "If she'd walk a few miles a day she'd soon get out of that meighbor- hood." PAGE THREE Away Will be Started Running Tonight rought to Oliver Hezzelwood, Former Oshawa Citizen, in Letter to Chamber of Commerce, Says Point Ten Miles from City Offers View of Lake Scugog and Lake Ontario, and on a Clear Day, the American Shore and Scar. boro Heights A suggestion which might prove useful to,.motorists of Oshawa and other towns and cities * in Central Ontario who are ever on the lookout for some place to drive in search of recreation and scenery has been re- ceived from Mr. Oliver Hezzlewood, former well known Oshawa citizen, who is now summering at Pleasant Point near Lindsay, Mr. Hezzle- wood in a communication to Leon Frazer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, writes as follows. "Dear Sir: I see by today's papers that you are organizing a branch of the On- tario Motor League in Oshawa. One was organized there about 15 years ago and. I am surprised that this should be considered the first. How- ever, whether it is a new pup or only a reincarnation does not matter, here's a job for it. "Do you know that - one of the grandest panoramic views to be had of landscape anywhere is obtainable just 10 miles from Oshawa's "Stop and Go" signs? If you doubt it go out thé road just north east of Rag- lan and stop at the right place where you can see Scugog Lake at the north, and Ontario at the south. If the weather is O.K. you can see the U.S. shore and also Scarboro Heights, All that is needed is for the Oshawa Motor League to erect a lookout about thirty feet with a properly worded sign and diagram. I hope you may be able to do so. Some- thing of that nature is erected on top of Jacob's Ladder in Mass, USA, by the Springfield Motor Club, "When you get your club 500 strong I will be pleased to tell you about the earliest motor efforts in Oshawa, "Very sincerely yours, # Oshawa's Pioneer Motorist, Oliver Hezzlewood," TENANTS QUEEN STREET HOUSES TOLDTO VACATE Board of Health Affix Signs Giving Thirty Days' Notice Pursuant to the order of the Board of Healgh at its July meet- ing, signs have been affixed on the houses of the Hewston estate, on Queen street, stating that these were condemned, and must be vacated within 30 days of the date of notice which is dated August , 1 The question of the installation of sanitary plumbing in these dwelling has been again referred back to the city council, who haye power under the Provincial Health Act, to install the plumbing and assess it against the proper- ty in a case of this kind.

THREE JUVENILES ON THEFT COUNTS Aged 12, 10 and 9 Years -- Are Given Suspended Sentence Three boys, aged 12, 10 and ) years, were hrought before Judge Hind of the children's court held here yesterday afternoon, charged with theft from one of the local stores. This was their first offense and the Judge placed them under suspended sentence after the par- ents were given a strong repri- mand for being as much respon- sible for their children's plight as the boys themselves were. Judge Hind pointed out to the parents that children should be in their homes before 9 o'clock and that they should hold themselyes responsible for providing times and places for play for their child- ren just the same as they provide for food and clothing. He also stated that all children should he sent to Sunday School regularly, Farents who were deliquent in the care of their children were not to expect any sympathy from him, the Judge stated, when their child- ren got into trouble such as this.

I, A---- WERE RESIDENT § HERE YEARS AGO The death of Rosalie de la Mar Toussaint du Pre, said to have been the first woman bare-back rid- er in the world, at Batavia, New York, where she had lived alone for several years, will recall mem- ories of many old-timers in Osh- awa. In 1865 this famous trick-rider who had joined the P. T. Barnum circus at the age of six years, mar- ried Charles Witcher of Baltimore, then a lion-tamer. The couple moved to Oshawa in the 70's where Mr. Witcher operated an Oyster- parlor in the barber-shop owned by Sid Drinkle of this city. Mr. Witcher had many interest- ing stories to tell of his experienc- es under the canvas top, as did his wife, and the place was the ren- dezvous of many of Oshawa's pres- ent-day business men.

AUTO FAILS TO OUTSTRIP PHONE Dominion Has 945,672 Care and 1,265,869 Telephones The most recent authentic fig ures showing the comparative num« ber of telephones and automebiles now in use in Canada, do not sub« stantiate the common belief that the automobile has outstripped the telephone. According to an official ane nouncement of the Canadian Gove ernment Information Bureau at Oté tawa, the Dominion now .coniang 945,672 Canadian-owned automo biles, exclusive of motor-powered farm implements. This total is to be compared with 1,265,869 teins phones in actual operation in Can ada at the end of December 1927, as reported officially by the Bell Telephone Company of Canada. In telephone development among' the provinces, Ontario leads with a total of 561,043 instruments in ser« vice, or a ratio of 17.46 per 100 population. But British Columbia's ratio is higher at 18.71 for 108,556 Instruments. Quebec has 262,784 telephones or 9.99 per 100 per- sons.
