"Happiness Ahead" With Colleen Moore Coming To Regent In a picture decidedly different from anything in which she has ap- peared in the past, Colleen Moore, winsome First National star, comes to the Regent Theatre next Thurs. day in her latest starring picture, » BRpiness Ahead" Although this production provides her with every opportunity to dis- lay her excellent flair for comedy, iss Moore will also be seen in mo- ments of deep drama, in which she is said to have proven an unusually capable actress. "Happiness Ahead" is the story of 8 little country girl who marries a city card-sharp, believing him to be an entirely honest young business man. The manner in which she dis- covers the truth, and the subsequent action of the principal characters, gives "Happiness Ahead," a ot which is unique in the extreme. Ed- mund Lowe plays the chief support- ing role in "Happiness Ahead" which was written by Edmund | Goulding. | Hupp ,..

P, McGregor Dispute a $25 Account With neither men employing a lawyer, Joe Casciato and W, J, P, McGregor battled for nearly an Jour this morning in pelice court, arguing over $25 in wages which Qascigto charged McGregor owed him for work done between July 3 and July 10. McGregor denied he owed Casciato any money"and six witnesses were heard for the plaintiff and two for the defend- ant before Magistrate Hind ruled that inasmuch as it wasn't dis- puted that Casclato did do actual work for McGregor during this time, thert was a contract im- plied and consequently McGregor was instructed to pay Casciato $20 within seven days or the amount would be levied from his goods and chattels, "Have I the right to appeal?" McGregor asked the court after the ruling was handed down. 'Yes, but you'll have to see a lawyer about that," His Worship replied. McGregor based his defence upon the fact, as he told the court, that he never hired Casciato and that Casciato was merely hanging around the place trying to get back into his employ after seven weeks' absence, McGregor has been running a trucking and hauling business in Oshawa and district and at the time in question operated two Casciato wished to operate but trucks one of which it seemed, only succeeded in doing so on one occasion, During the remainder of the time however, Casciato testi- fied and had other witnesses to bear him out, that he had done other odd jobs for McGregor, in- cluding taking a truck to a black- smith shop for repairs, and work- ing on a truck in McGregor's yard. On one day however for which Casgiato claimed wages, he told thé court that he had been in Toronto making a trip for Peter Nickolson, and for which he re- ceived $5. In handing down his decision, Magistrate Hind allowed no wages from McGregor for this day and consequently found that the defendant owed the plaintiff $20, THE FAILURE OF SOCIALISM IN RUSSIA (Contributed by G. T. W.) Dr. Shadwell explains the Rus- sians' own explanation of their | change back to capitalism as fol- lows: They have (he says) heen com- pelled to learn from their experi- ments, They have learned that the primary economic task is produc- tion; that for production capital is necessary; and that it does not come from Heaven, but must be constantly renewed hy saving out of profits; that men are patural- ly lazy and will not work without a personal incentive; that the vir- tues attributed to the *proletari- at' have ypt to he acquired; that agricultural workers will ont pro- duce for common use, but only fof their own profit; that hired labor cannot be abolished; that work- men are incapable of conducting industry; that competent direct- ing authority is essential to suc- cess; that technicians and skilled workmen are indispensable and must be trained; that piece-work and payments by resuts are neces- sary to secure output; that state enterprises work badly and that officials can be incompetent and incorrupt; that exchange cannot be carried on without a market and the use of mopey; that pri- vate enterprise adapts itself more readily to the requirements of production and consumption than official institutions. It the editor is willing I should like some views on the above. MILITARY MOTOR TRUCK IN FALL THROUGH BRIDGE Grand Valley, Aug. 7--Returning from camp at Niagara-on-the-Lake 2 motor bus containing the Shelburne and Orangeville members of "'D" Company of the Peel-Dufferin Regi- ment, went through a bridge on a stream cast of here last might about 10 o'clock, miraculously landing on all four wheels in the four feet of water twenty feet below, and result- ing only in minor injuries to the occupants.

Speedometer ed at 7 o'Clock Thursday Evening -- Executives of General Motors Will Be Present ' The Pontiac Coach to be given away at the big General Motors Picnic has entered upon its fifth day of continuous running. Large crowds visit the tent daily to cast votes or to attempt to figure out the milage that the wheels have gone since last Thursday night when they were set in motion, With the exception of Sunday the action has been maintained and the speedometer, losed in the sealed box has been registering the miles as the wheels have ticked them off. The contest is to guess the nuber of miles registered on the mystery speedometer. As is generally known, officials from Genera Motors will be pres. ent in a body on Thursday even- ing of this week when the box will again be opened. Execu- tives of the company will then dis- connect the speedometer and take down the figures as recorded. The winner will be the one who guesses the nearest to the correct figure on the dial, and will be re- warded with the car, 1928 RIFLE SHOOT A GREAT EVENT D.C.R,A. Expect Best Shoot in Canadian History at Connaught Ranges (By Canadian Press) Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 8 -- Canada's National Rifle Shooting meeting, commonly known as the D.C.R.A. (Dominion of Canada Rifle Associa- tion) opens at Connaught Ranges, near Ottawa on Aug. 13 and contin- ues to Aug, 17. It is expected 600 competitors will take part. The as- sociation brings at its own expense teams of 16 riflemen from each of the provinces. The riflemen win the right to have their expenses thus paid by their shooting at provincial meets, The association also refunds 20 per cent of the railway fares of contestants not on the provincial teams, In addition to the Canadians this year, seven of "the Australians who are returning from Bisley via Canada will take part and a team of 12 Eng- lish cadets will also compete. Last year almost 500 riflemen competed and there is a marked increase in rifieshooting since then. Last win- ter 510 teams throughout the country took part in the D.C.R.A. winter in- door competitions as compared with 126 teams two years ago. A change in the program for the coming meet is in the classification of Tyro. This year a tyro is any- one who has not won a prize of $5 or more in the past three years, This 1s to encourage men who have not been shooting so well during the past few years. The Governor General's match will he shot this year in the usual two stages, but the final stage will he at 300 and 900 yards, when fifteen shots must be fired at each range. Both ranges of the Banker's match will this year be in the Grand Aggregate, and aperture sights will be permit- ted at all ranges of all the squadded competitigns in the aggregate. The King's Medal Competition has been taken out of the middle of the week, and will be fired on Friday afternoon as a distinct event. The Gzowski and Dundonald Matches will be conducted as team events, as they were in the old days at Rock- cliffe, and will have no connection with the King's Medal Match. The conditions of the King's Medal Com- petition call for four practices. The first is for deliberate shooting at 600 yards. This will be followed by the Fire with Movement practice, which means that the competitor will start from 600 yards and fire ten shots at distances up to 100 yards. The tar- get will be exposed for 45 seconds for cach two shots, and in the inter- val between exposure, which is only I5 seconds, the competitor prepares for the next round. When the tar- get appears he must run to the next firing nt 100 yards away, and fire two shots, all within the period of = ecapds. The third st is a ire Competition at ards and this is followed by a Rid hid ing test at the same distance. The Rapid is ten shots at a standard tar- get, in 40 second and the snap- thooring is at a' 22 inch. disc which is £xpo ten times at irregular inter- vals. An added feature in the King's Me- dal Match will be a team competi- tion, for teams of four men whose combined scores make the highest to- tal. For this match, General Sir Arthur Currie is offering a valuabl Fifth Day of Journey STREET FAIR TO BE HELD FRIDAY BY N.

BOOKLETS NEAR COMPLETION Applications Numerous for Information in Regard to The City The information booklet of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, which is rapidly nearing comple- tion and of which there will be 5,000 copies printed, will in every possible way take care of the demand for ilterature and in- formation dealing with this city in general, The booklet itself has already heen described, but the fact may be added that it stands out as complete an informa- tive publication as may be found on this subject. The material for this was compiled and placed at the publishers' within a week, which shows just to what speed the Chamber of Commerce officials may attain. A great deal of the work may be laid at the feet of Leon Fraser, secretary of the C, of Co., whose never-ending inter- est along the lines of Oshawa ad- vancement is to be credited. A satisfactory number of appi- cations for literature concerning the city have heen received hy Mr. Fraser, and the necessary material forwarded. These communica- tions come from many points north as well as south of the line. Citizens will do well if they preach Oshawa and obtain a hook- let when it is distributed to send to their friends outside of the city. COURTICE Courtice, Aug. 7.--~What might have proved a most serious acci- dent oceurred at Courtice Mon- day evevning about 7 o'clock. Miss Jenny Armour, with her mother, had driven to Courtice for the mail and Mrs. Armour got out of the buggy and walked to the post office and Miss Armour turn- ed the horse facing north just off the pavement at the crossing. The cars were going continuously and the horse got wild and gave one bolt, taking Miss Armour through the creek, where the horse broke free from the buggy, throwing her face downward in the water over a foot deep. Mr. Everett Walters, seeing the accident, came to her rescue as quickly as he could get there and lifted her out of the wa- ter. An American car happend to be standing on the highway and the people were kind enough to drive her and her mother to thelr home and Miss Carrie Courtice, matron of a hospital in Chicago, who had just arrived at her sis- ter's, Mrs. Blake Courtice. accom- panied them. Miss Armour is not seriously hurt and we hope she may soon recover.

At this rate there are still three months to Tun, and therefore it bids fair to set a fine record over any previous year's work. During the fiseal year of 1927 the placements were are 4,252. At a recent date, a number of men were sent from this city tn Port Hope and Bowmanville, where they will be employed in road con- struction in teh former place and for the Department of Public Works at the latter district, It was stated that there still ex. ists a surplus of unskilled labor in the city, which incidentally is of sufficient strength to cover any emergency. A scarcity of cook generals for domestic use was noted, with a number of unfilled vacancies on file, i Farm help for. this distriet 1s scarce, as many local men have signified their intention of going west on the harvest excursion, Throughout the district the harvest this year in the western provinces has aroused a good deal of enthusi- asm, and it is thought that the number of men required to fill the vacant emergencies out in the west will he found without much trou- ble. . According to Information receiv. ed through press despatches, the first train te go to the grain fields will leave on August 21, and will take in points east on the trip. Information may be obtained from the Canadian Pacific or the Cana- dian National Railways, which are taking care of the whole move- ment.

Through- out. the eity this section of the sports program has been much dis- cussed, and it is practically certain that enthusiasm will not be lessen- ed when jt comes to running off the events thus featured at the Park on Saturday afternoon. All aquatic attractions are being presented under the able direction of Mr. Johny Walker, of Toronto, who has left no stone unturned in his efforts to make this feature worthy of the wide reputation which it has already acquirea. There is scheduled, besides pro- fessional performances by well- known artists, exhibitions and con- tests by local boys and girls. These will take the course of high, fancy, and trick diving. The new, special- ly erected 30-foot tower in the lake just off shore will adequate- ly aecommodate those who are in- tending to participate in the con- tests. . The time set for diving and oth- er exhibitions of this nature is 6.15 o'clock in the evening, and, judging from last year's schedules, the events will he kept on time.

The waters edge is where the crowds are go- ing to be when the time comes for the diving performances, So make it a point to be there also. Besides the splendid array of wa- ter talent, there is an equal amount of "land talent" who are booked to entertain, amuse, and mystify ey- eryone during the day, from the stage, pow in the course of erec- tion south of the road near the old grand-stand, and also from the grounds. Crocker's Pony Circus, known everywhere where quality and gracefulness are features of ap act of this sort, will be on hand, with 16 live ponies. This attrae- tion is now on tour. Bill Arnott, talkative trickster, as he is sched- uled to appear, will no doubt live pp to his reputation in the expia- tion of his art.

Sixteen trained dogs, to be seen jin varied acts. go to make up the wonderful "Dog Cir- cus" ich the executive of the picnic went to such ends to obtain for the day.

Before they arriv- ed, however, all danger was removy- ed by the efficient work of John. ny Smith, a member of that de- partment, who employed one of the extinguishers which are always handy, to good advantage. Ex- cept for the loss of some enamel, no damage was done and the bri- gades were able to return to their respective halls ten minutes after they were called out.
