Mackie, residing near the lake shore, as the result of the injuries he received, was taken to the Oshawa General Hospital Saturday afternoon to receive urgent: medical attention, Following careful supervision during the night, he was allowed to be taken home where, however, it will be sev- eral weeks before he will be out around : gain. Mr. Mackie resides in the last house on the right hand side of Sim- coe street south before reaching the bridge over Oshawa Creek at Osh- awa-on-the-Lake. He was unloading the hay in the barn at the time and went too close to the side of the load which caused the hay to slide, precip- jtating him onto a hook which ran into his stomach and resulted in in- ternal injuries besides much loss of blood. On being taken to the hospi- tal several stitches were administered by Dr. B. A. Brown. Mr. Mackie rested quietly until he was taken home yesterday. +» CNR.

Malow Company, Toronto, Were Successful Tenderers The Henry C. Malow Company of Toronto has been awarded the car- pentry sub-contract for the new Gen- osha Hotel at Mary and King streets, it was announced today. The work for this item will be commenced as soon as possible. An increased effort to rush the present work on the job will be made, starting with today, Day and night shifts will be inaugurated, the work being made possible by the aid of eight flood lights erected at suitable positions on the structure. Pouring concrete for the third storey will put that job well underhand, the operation being greatly simplified by the recent erection of an elevator shaft, which will be the means of conveying the concrete more quickly to the higher floor elevations, Plumbing activities in the base- ment of the new hotel will soon be completed it is said, the work gain- ing much headway due to the number of men on the job. An increase in the number of help for the concrete operations will give material acceler- ation to that work. Steel window sashes have arrived in whole, and minor adjustments are in progress to set these in order for erection in their proper posi- tions, They are of a very splendid type, and the artistic features will make them the more presentable when set in order in the apertures provided for their reception, FINE RECEPTION FOR NEW PASTOR Rev. A. C. Hahn Takes Charge of Services at Lutheran Church Rev. A. C. Hahn, recently called to take charge of Lutheran church work in Oshawa, was greeted by a fair-sized congregation of Luther. ans and friends in Welsh's Hall on Sunday morning, being introduced by Rev. G, Walter Schoedel, secre- tary of the Mission Board of tne Lutheran Church Ontario District, who preached a sermon appropriate for the occasion. A quartette, com- posed of Mr. and Mrs. C, Schoenau, this city, and Mr. and Mrs. F, Russ, of Hespeler, gave a very acceptable rendition of "Jesus Lover Of My Soul." Miss Gertrude Dahmer presided at the piano. Taking for his text Acts 26, 29, Rev. Schoedel said that the sue- cess of the Mission as well as the church at large depended upon obe- dience to Christ and His Gospel, The outstanding example of Chris- tian love and zeal throughout the Christian centuries is Paul, and therefore the speaker urged upon the hearers to hecome "such a one as Paul." "The prerequisite," econ- tinued Rev, Schoedel, "is that, like Paul, we be Christians, That meang, first, to have the proper conception of Christ's redemptive work. The true Christian knows that his only chanee of being justi- fied before God and eternally saved lies in impliict faith and trust in God's Word and Christ's Cross, He knows that his sins are washed away by the Blood of the Lamb, He does not try to gain or earn salvation because of so-called good works or good character or virtues, but these things are rather a. fruit of his faith and love, And loving Christ he will want to do the things Christ would like to have him do, and refrain from those things which do not please the Mas- ter." "Being such a one as Paul means algo to have a true estimate of the value of the soul. Paul was will- ing to sacrifice his own salvation, if by such sacrifice his brethren might be gaved. We might have the most magnificent cathedrals, the best orators in our pulpits, the ministry of song in all its sublim- ity, but unless we are saving and sanctifying souls it is all for naught, The Lord's work demands sacrifice and hardships, but let us remember it was not very easy ur Christ to suffer and die, nor for the apostles to preach as they did." "Being such a one as Paul," the pastor concluded, "means also that we have the spirit of prayer. When Luther preached people said it seemed as if he were drawing his sermons out of heaven by prayer. When John Knox prayed, it is satd he was more feared than whole armies. If we strive with God's hélp to be even in a small measure such a one as Paul, there is no doubt but that our Mission will sue- reed, and that we shall be able to dno much for the Kingdom of God." Services by Rey. Hahn will be held every Sunday morning at 10.20 o'clock. RETURN FROM VACATION Bowmanville, Aug, 13.--Mrs. A.

This occur- ed at 545 this' morning in front of the new Albert College. Ackley claimed that he had swery- ed to avoid hitting a buggy, but it was found that the car had gone some seventy-five feet without the driver applying the brakes, and when he did apply them the car skidded about 350 feet. Luckily, nobody was hurt. Ackley gave his name to Constable Jackson as James E. Jackman, of Oshawa, and produced a driver's lic- ense and several other automobile accessories to back up his statement.

E. McKittrick Loses $100 from Residence While Fam- ily is at Lake There is never a large picnic, such as was held Saturday, but that somebody, professional or amateur takes away the joy from someone, General Motors picnic was no excepton., Pickpockets, who op- erated among the crowds at Lake- view Park on Saturday, were en- riched by the vast sum of $82.55 in addition to a cheque for $53.75. There was also the sneak-thief who made the absence of picnick- ers from their city home count, for $100 was stolen during the day by a thief who entered the home of C. E. McKitrick, 340 Prince street. Pickpockets are very much at home in large gatherings of people such as came. together last Satur- day. They work with the agility '| of a professional, and seldom be- come embarrased if found on', Theirs is the hardened life of the bright lights, and to such great ends has the pickpocketing gone, that it really is not just a habit, it is a business, Although no signs of a pre-arranged 'attack' by these individuals had been contemplated by anyone at the park, the result of their cheap work was enor- mous, As is generally known, police have great difficulty in bringing the offenders to justice, the lack of of clues, and insufficient evidence, even if they were apprehended, making it more of a chance for them to obtain their freedom, if not immediately, in the very near future, Such it is, wherever happy throngs gather together to indulge in group games, or enter into the center of a crowd, relieving any- one with what little money they happen to have with them, Al- though everyone knows with what contempt such actions are regard- ed, little may be done to discour- age the practice, except that such a purloining of valuables places a man who makes it his work, into one the lowest class of humanity, There were many opportunities for men of this type to profit at General Motors picnic. Little groups were dotted here and there throughout the whole day, mak- ing it easy for the pickpocket to display his "art", The following persons reported to the police that they had been victimized: James Gregory, 201 Bond street east, was relieved of $22; Thomas Mayne, 134 Barrie street, $5; John Hoio, 138 Olive avenue, $13; Dr. Richardson, 22 y loyal street, $35 in cash and a cheque for $63.75; Walter Mir- tenan, $6, and Arthur Brown, $2.25.

James E. Williams, Wife | and Two Children Badly Injured,--Frank, 14, be- lieved to Have Fractured Skull--J. J.

Virgin- ia, along with his wife and two sons running into the deep ditch near Courtice and turning over about four times before they reached the bottom to competely wreck their Reo Flyig Cloud and necessitate all four being taken to the Oshawa General Hospital for immediate attention. It is feared that Mr. Williams' eldest son, Frank, aged 14, is suf- fering from a fractured skull while Mr. Williams himself had two fingers broken on his right hari and his wife and younger son, Charles, aged 8, are suffer ing from numerous minor cuts and bruises. The left hand side of Williams' car is completely smashed in, the top cy hardly be recognized as such and windows are broken with glass fragments still remain- ing to mark the scene of the ac- cident. The car is now in Nich- oll's garage, half mile east of Courtice where it was taken by Nicholl's wrecking truck later on the evening of the accident. Mr. Thompson's car had a dent on the right hand fender and the running board +s also damaged. An investigation will take place as soon as Mr. Williams and his fam- ily are able to leave the hospiial. SEVERAL THEFTS REPORTED HERE Motor Truck, Bicycle and $100 in Cash Carried Away By Thieves Besides the pick-pocketing activi= ties so prevelant in Oshawa over the week-end, several other cases of theft were reported to the local police, in- cluding the loss of a Chevrolet truck, a Hyslop bicycle and $100 in cash. J. S. Dick, 140 Burke street, re- ported to the police S-nday morn- ing that while he was away from his home someone stole his Chevrolet truck bearing license number X4-442, taking it probably between the hours of 12 noon Saturday and 12.30 a.m. Sunday morning. Sometime during the afternoon Steward Cunningham, of 79 Centre street, also had his Hys- lop bicycle stolen from beside his house, Considerable mystery still sur- rounds the taking of $100 in cash | from the home of C. McKittrick, 340 | French street, while they were at-| tending General Motars picnic on Saturday. The money was in $10 bills and was by no means lying in the open, vet it had vanished when a search was made for it. To add to the mystery, there was no sign absut the plac whatever to show | how the house had been broken into. Police are investigating.

Probablf due to constant publica. tion of articles in connection with the G. M.

One instance might be cited which reveals this situation in 2 much better light. y gs bad b separat- ed from its parents down near the dock, and a gentleman, becoming aware of its predicament, walked the whole length of the park to the Boy Scouts' Tent to inform Scouts of the occurrence. The boys attended to the case immedi- Boy Scouts Received Fine Co-operation in Looki Lost Children at G.M. Picnic After ately, and within a short time, the youngster was safe again with its parents. This action om the part of the gentleman was appreciated fully by the parents of the child, which ctherwise might have been delay- ed in being returned to those with whom it had come to the park. More than 200 children were re- ported as lost throughout the day. But before the day was ended, everyone was returned to parents or friends.
