However, there is nothing of this in Oshawa. If Sinclair Lewis came to town he'd not so much as raise a ripple. That is, unless someone had read his recemt self- confession article on Rural Eng- land in which he rather lamely to the Rotary World. go big job undertaken by Rotary is that of vocational guid- #Ance for the 'teem year boy. Let- ters are sent to youmgsters finish- ing public school and in the high years from time to time, urging them to keep at it. They are also invited to seek advice on careers from a list of Oshawa busi- ness men whose own success makes them qualitied to tell a boy some- thing of how success is to be ob- tained in their particular fields. Development of leadership is also fostered by other agencies and with notable results. Boy Scout troops in Oshawa render, yearly, a variety of services that are as valued as they are-self-developing lo the lads who render them. Officers of Oshawa Rotary for 1928 are G. D. Conant, president; George Hart, vice-president; C. F. Cannon, secretary; J. C. Young, asst, secretary; E. C. Hodgins, treasurer; Russell Weir, sergeant- ut-arms; Alex, Storie, past presi- dent. The directorate, in addition, includes George Henley, Art Lovell, Dave Todd, Frank Johnston, and C. E. McTavish. J. C. Young, now assistant sec- retary and a former presidemt, was secretary of the club for several years, rendering particularly ef- fective service during office 1a 1927 when the Club first began the development of Rotary Park.

Then the fun begins, All the local Scotchmen are put in kilts and made to play bagpipes during the fair so that salesmen will lose no valuable time working on them. Bands of the Ontario Regment and Salvation Army renderad con- tinuous programs, and some of the world's ° prize barkers hold forth at various booths where everything is allowed and a lot of new things thought as the evenm- ing advances. The only trouble last years came from a few carping critics from Toronto who claimed that the Cash Registers made so much noise they couldn't hear the bands! Incidentally, Bowmanville Ro- tary has come over in mass to joint their Oshawa brethren im the night's fun. * Directors--R. N. Johns, Oshawa; E. McLaughlin, Oshawa; M. Duff, Myrtle Station; R.

Soft Drinks for Thirsty Oshawa E all drink it--bottles and bot- WwW tles of it. Some scientists say it is healthful for us, but in any case we drink it. To some of us it is "pop," to others it is "soft" drinks," and to the rest it goes by the more dignified name of "carbon- ated beverages," but to all of us it is quite acceptable in August weath- 1] er. In fact, the demand for soft drinks has increased to such an extent in Oshawa that this spring a new con- cern was established to take care of some of the enlarging business. About May'1, W. P. Hegadorn and his son Gerald, of 161 Alma street, W. S. Williams SERVICE STATION and VULCANIZING Tires, Tubes and | Gasoline, Oil and Accessories Phone 1426 Grease Cor. Bond and Prince Sts. | containing | magnify | lutely, co ed the erection of a build- ing at 161 Alma street to house the new bottling plant. Two months later they began the production of bottled beverages. From that time the busi- ness has increased so rapidly that they now deliver cases of drinks not only to many merchants in Oshawa, but fo Port Perry, Bowmanville, Whitby and other surrounding towns. The company organized under the name of the Star Bottling Works, have one of the most modern plants in the district. The city Sanitary In- spector has freely commended the cleanliness of the working condi- tions, and the proprietors are justly proud of the plant, inviting citizens to inspect it and see for themselves how everything is prepared for con- sumption. The building itself is a single storey structure, 20 by 30 feet, with an of- fice in front and the plant and stor- age space in the rear. All bottles re- turned from the retailers are first thoroughly washed in scalding water, with a cleansing solution, and are then put through the first rinsing, An operator next gives them a sec- ond cleaning on a revolving brush, As they move up the endless con- veyor to the bottling machine they | pass over a number of jets of water | for rinsing. The hottling machine is an inter- esting contrivance, Two bottles are handled at one time, the first re- | ceiving a portion of syrup flavoring of the drink being made, which is automatically measured hy the ma- chine. In the second operation the | carbonated water is passed in and the | bottle is automatically capped by the | machine, everything being done in the most sanitary manner, About twenty-five cases of drinks, each case twenty-four bottles, can be turned out by this machine ev- ery hour, If we do our best; if we do not troubles; if we look reso- I will not say at the bright side of things, but at things as they really are; if we avail ourselves of the manifold blessings which sur- round us, we can not but feel that life is indeed a glorious inheritance, ~John Lubbock. Trick Co'y Big Factor in Greater Oshawa's Growth Nearly Every Block In City Shows Evidence of Com- pany's Activity HIGH GRADE WORK Responsible For Many Largest and Finest Buildings Kipling, in that famous poem of his which describes a man, says that one of the tests is to "make a heap of all your winnings and lose them on one turn of 'pitch and toss. Then, turn 'again to your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss." W. J. Trick, one of Oshawa's most honored citizens and building con- tractor of many years, met such a test. Fire destroyed his three story factory and warehous at Athol and Albert Streets in February 1917, and the product of a fair lifetime's effort and accumulation went up in smoke or down to ashes. There is, Kipling notwithstanding, some wor. : that a man does use on such occasions. It isn't a wail. Us- ually it's "Let's go!" , That was the motto of W. J. Trick's new carreer in business. He's still going, in the business sense; and in the meantime, he found time to win unique honours from his fel- low citizens, The chief of which is that he was the last mayor of Oshawa the Town; and the first mayor of Oshawa the City, No other man, so long as there are towns and cities and Oshawa remains a municipal fact, can du- plicate that honour here. Mr. Trick entered the Oshawa Town Council in 1922 for the first time. The following year he ran for mayor and was elected, His year in the Town Council and his two years as its mayor were devoted, largely, to making Oshawa, then .a town of 15000 people, one of Canada's cities. And with the granting of the city charter, the citizens again turnc! to the man who had steered the muni- cipal ship out of the county estuary into urban autonomy to retain com- mand. There was no "dropping of the pi- lot" until the Ontario Ship "City of Oshawa" was well on its way to whatever splendid destiny awaits it, Oshawa has already saved many thousands of dollars through becom- ing a city, Mr, Trick points out, As a town, a certain portion of its rey enues went to the County. Yet, at the same time, the Town had to fi- nance its cwn development and ser- vices. Mr. Trick's business career in Osh- awa began in 1898. He was born in Bowmanville in 1873, being one of many noteworthy sons whom Durham County has given to Oshawa, From the beginning he has been a general contractor and he is one known not only in Oshawa and dis- trict, but throughout Canada. Those who visit Government House at Toronto are at once struck by its beautiful woodwork in the state rooms and household rooms, That splendid example of the finest interior woodwork is one of the many important contracts which W. J. Trick & Co. Ltd, have won over all competitors and completed to the enrichment of Canada's public and domestic architecture. Interior woodworking is the W. J. Trick Company's building speciality, if it may be said that it has a spec- ialty. The new plant on Albert strect of J. H. HORTON REAL ESTATE | REAL ESIATE LOANS : IN URANCE ~ Mundy Bidg., 57 Simcoe St. S. OSHAWA C. H. FRENCH INSURANCE Let Us Help You Become Better Acquainted With the Possibilities in Oshawa W. J. TRICK Ex-Mayor of Oshawa and President of W. J. Trick Co. Ltd. is equipped largely for this section of their work. It has built a reputation for the company that is now Do- minion-wide. Locally, nearly every block 'in the city shows evidence of the company's activities. Many of the older build- ings, as well as th newer ones, were built by W. J. Trick & Co. Ltd. The Post Office, Ontario Regi- ment Armories, Carnegie Library, Y. M. C. A, represent the period which closed with the beginning of the great war, The beautiful King Street United Church was built by Mr. Trick's Company and its splendidly faithful Tudor lines would do credit "to any city anywhere. The Salvation Army Citadel on Simcoe Street South is another relicious structure credited to the firm, Nowhere, however, has the com- pany's work been shown to finer ad- vantage than in the ercction of schools. The Centre Street School, for instance, is a monument both to the city's progressiveness, to the ar- chitect that designed it, and to the W. J. Trick Company that built it. Other local schools built by the firm are the Simcoe Street South, King Street, Cedardale and Westmount public schools. The new St. Gregory's Separate School was completed by the com- pany late in 1927, and is an outstand- mg structure of its type owing to the fact that it combines a modern school with an equally modern and well-planned Parish Hall. An addi- tion to the Ritson Road Public School was also recently completed. Many of Oshawa's finer residences were built by W. J. Trick & Co., as well as hundreds of substantial and modest homes throughout the city and environs. In all these structures, interior woodwork is, depending upon 'the character of the buildings, generally noteworthy. The Ontario Club at Toronto, whose interior woodwork is one of the most beautiful examples of fine decoration in the Dominion, is the work of W. J. Trick & Co, and many of the fine banks in Toronto and throughout Canada also witness the Trick organization's outstanding place in this field of construction, The Company has all along been recognized as one of Canada's lead- ing factory builders. Several of the big additions to the General Motors plant here, both during the past two vears and before, were built by W, J. Trick Com»any. With a payroll frequently to a maximum of 225 workers, the W. J. Trick Company Lid, is itself one of Oshawa's major industries. In addition to the interior woodwork- ing factory and warehouses on Athol and Albert Streets, yards are mafn- tained at the Corner of Bruce and Court Streets and at Division Street North. Mr. Trick was asked for nis opin- jon of Oshawa's possibilities for the "Greater: Oshawa" edition. "Well," he said, "I have seen Osh- rising awa grow from a small town te. thriving city of 22000" citizens. | have great confidence in 'the future prosperity of this city." Mr. Trick maintains his ' terest i§ civic affairs through membership of the Town Planning is deeply interested im the effort te make Oshawa a more beautiful city, and has certainly contributed muth to that end. \ One of his outsta services rendered as chairman of the commit- tee charged with the erection of the city's beautiful war memorial in Memorial Park. Caot. Ed. Pearson, is secretary- treasurer of the company; Mr. Pear- son has leen with the company since 1910 and is regarded as one iof Oshawa's splendid young executives who has shown himself well quali- fied to carry on the development of the business in future in a manner wholly worthy of those who made it what it is today. THE RIVER OF LIFE A Soul stood on the bank of the River of Life, and it had to cross it. And first it found a reed, and it tried to cross with it. But the reed ran into its hand at the top in fine splinters and bent when it leaned on it. Then the Soul found a staff and it tried to cross with it: and the sharp end ran into the: ground, and the Soul tried to draw it, but it could not; and it stood in the water by its staff. Then it got out and found a broad thick log, and it said, "With 'this I will cross." And it went down into the water. But the log was too buoy- ant, it floated and almost drew the Soul from its feet. And the Soul stood on :the bank and ied: Oh, River of Life! How am I to cross; I have tried all r and they have failed me!" hei And the River answered, "Cross me alone." And the Soul went down into the water and it crossed, --By Oliver Schminer, ¥ our business, in our efforts, Drygoods ' urnishing Marching In Step With the Progress of Greater Oshawa ~ 'Always alert to ever changing demands of the buying public, using merchandising methods that are sound, selling only quality goods that will give wearing satisfaction, impresse ing upon every salesperson in our employ the value of cours teousness to gain and maintain the good will of our customers, These are some of the important factors in our business prine ciples that have been responsible for the steady expansion of v ' PE rain Ward's Store, Corner Simcoe and Athol Streets, Fd After nine years in business in the greatest little city in Canada, we believe we can say without boasting that this is a store where people take a real pleasure in shopping.
