SCHOOL Have Been Organized in Different Classes, Each Having Own \ Officers HOLD REGULAR MEETINGS -- S. B. McCready, of Toronto; Pre- sented Charters to Classes Last Week SOCIETY CIRCLES WORLD Several Red Cross Foreign Lan- guage Papers Shown to, Pupils Junior Red Cross work in a prac- tical way is now being done by five suxiliaries recently organized and chartered in King St. Public School School. and although these auxiliar- tes, comprising five classes of the have 'not been functioning long, gratifying results have been already realized. With its own officers and separate charter, each auxiliary is holding weekly meetings, discussing subjects embraced in the Junior Red Cross Field of endeavor, and in a practical way are giving money for charitable causes, $20 being contri- buted recently by the five classes for | the rélief of famine sticken children in Russia. Active Organization Although a year ago, during the nation wide Red Cross campaign for membership and funds, the aims and objects of the Junior Red Cross were set forth in Oshawa and a generous response was made in all the schools, over 700 enrolling as members, no definite step towards organization and formation of auxiliary units, was organized in one school. A few days before the Easter holidays Mrs. E. J. Bale, of the senior branch of the Red Cross, who has taken a very deep interest in the junior work, visited King Street school, explaining in de- tail to the different classes the aims and objects of the Junior Red Cross, what the children could do and study for the benefit of themselves ond others, particularly those less fortun- ate. Mrs Bale had intended that auxiliaries be organized in more than one school, but after further con- sideration it was decided that a start should be made in one school at least for the present. Accordingly King Street School was chosen and it was decided to organize five auxiliaries, apply for charters and get to work at once. When Mrs. Bale notified Mr. 8. B. McCready, Toronto, head of the Junior Red Cross Department in Ontario, of the decision of King Street school scholars and applied for the charters and other essentials, Mr. McCready decided to come to Oshawa. Ae- cordingly the visit was made on Wed- nesday last. when Mr, McCready had the opportunity of speaking to the different classes in the school after four o'clock, and was given a very attentive hearing. Incidentally he congratulated King Street School on baving the most auxiliaries of any graded school in the province. or particular interest were numerous Red Cross papers printed in the lan- guages of several foreign ecoun- tries, which Mr. McCready ex- hibited to the scholars. One of these was from the new republic of Czeko Slovika, which im- pressed the scholars with the idea that they were but one of one large eirele around the work doing Red Cross work. The charters were pre- sented and the auxiliaries duly in- stalled by Mr. MeCready. Members Are Active Since the visit of Mr McCready the five auxiliaries have been usy. The Tiny Tim boxes are being attended to, while several of the auxiliaries have had some fine meetings, some mem- ber taking up such subjects as health and hygiene, ete. The principal of the school, Miss Garrow, is enthusi- astiec at the suceess of the auxiliaries 80 far the interest being taken by their members. Personally she lends them all assistance possible. MISSION CIRCLE ELECTS OFFICERS King Street Methodist Mission Circle were entertained at the home of Miss Margaret Lennox om Tues- day evening when quite a number were present and officers were elect- ed for the ensuing year as follows: Honorary president-- Mrs. A. M. President-- Miss Flora Hawkins, Vice president-- Miss Mae Fenn, Ree. secretary-- Miss Audrey Slee- man, Cor. secretary--- Miss Velma Green- wood, Treasurer-- Miss Margaret Supt. of Christign Stewardship-- Hazel Elliot, ; Supt. of mite boxes-- Miss Ella Committee for visiting sick-- Miss ' Bernice Goyne and Miss Ruby Per- kins, Press correspondent-- Miss Lily Len- Easy on the Gas; Price is Increased Tuesday morning motorists who visited local garages to replenish their supply of gaso- line were called upon to pay an increase of one and a half cents per gallon. This means at all service stations "gas" will cost just 39 cents, instead of 37 1-2 paid until Tuesday. Local service stations had been charging 37 cents, hav- ing dropped the half cent so that the actual rise in price is two cents. A statement given out hy the Imperial Oil Company, To- ronto, attributes the present rise to be due entirely to the law of supply and demand, and that the coal strike in the United States has had no ef- fect whatever cn the gasoline gituation, The reason given by them for the increase is that during the past two J months the price in the United States has increased five cents a gallon, while this is the first increase made in Canada dur- ing that pericd. : HADNOLICENSE TOSELL MILK Mike Fedchishin is Fined Five Dollars--Takes Jail Term of TORONTO GOMPANY COMENDS LADIES FOR FAVORING OLED Says Endorsation of Butter Sub- stitute is Supported by a Facts HELPS REGULATE PRICES Declare Margarine Contains All the Food Values of Butter LARGE AMOUNT IMPORTED Sells at Varying Prices Locally-- Some Merchants Report Quite a Demand --r-- A resounltion passed by Oshawa Local Council of Women at their regular meeting a few weeks ago, and published in The Reformer, ask- ing the government to lift the ban on the sale of oleomargarine in the best interests of the public, has come to the attention of a large To- ronto firm interested in dairy prod- ucts, The firm have written Mrs, R. 8. McLaughlin, president of the Lo- cal Council, stating that the wisdom of the Council's action is undebat- able, and, that the reinstatement of the ban would-dispossess the coun- try* of a necessary regulator of com- | parative food values, leaving the butter market wide open, free from Fourteen Days Sanitary Inspector Palmer, is bent | seeing that all would-be milk | dealers have a license if they intend to conduct such a 'husiness' in Osh- awa. Strict precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of dis- ease by keeping places where milk is sold perfectly sanitary. In Police Court yesterday morning Mike Fed- chishin 'was charged with selling milk without the necessary author- ization. He pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs, or 14 days in jail, Accused preferred the latter alter- native. Inspector Palmer pointed out that he had notified the accused of com- plaints being received about him selling milk and -that it was neces- sary for him to obtain a license. Witness had - inspected the cow stables and conditions existing on the premises and found that a license could not be granted. He again noti- fied Fedchishin that the crowding of cattle in the shed was a nuisance on competition, and subject to the machi- nations of monopolistic greed. It adds that the food value of aux- par, margarine containg all the food values of butter and none of its sub- jective influence to typhoid or tuber- culosis infection. The letter points out that the argument that there is no market for oleomargarine does not hold good, inasmuch as the last avail- ablerecord of importation shows over 6,497,031 pounds per annum, while it is presumed that the production in this country aws the equivalent, although restricted in U.S.A. favor. Gives Valuable Information Information contained in a very carefully prepared pafer by Mrs. F. Chappell, head of the committee on Home Economics, convinced mem- hers of the Local Council of Wom- en that oleomargarine should be al- lowed to be sold because of its food Open Tenders for | New Hospital Wing | At a meeting of the Oshawa Hospital Board held on Tues- day evening tenders for the new maternity wing, the major portion of the cost of which is to be paid by Messrs. Geo, W. and R, 8. McLaughlin as a me- morial to their late father, were considered and the con- tractor decided upon, The architect was instructed to draw up an agreement to be signed by the contractor, and it is expected that work on the structure will being very © shortly. ' President J. D. Storie, of the Hospital Board, stated yesterday that the contract would go to a local man, as the Board was anxious to keep Oshawa men working and also keep the money in town, Wien the agreement is signed, the president stated, the full par- ticulars would he given to the public. The architects deemed it wise to make no announce- ment until all details in con- nection with the contract were completed, The plans call for a three story fireproof structure, mod- ern in every respect. URGENUMBER PERMITS ISSUED First of May | Building permits for several houses, two stores, four garages and some alterations and temporary dwellings, to the value of $15,800, have been issued since May 5th as follows, making the total to date $177,175: J, Heath, temporary frame house, west side of Grooms Avenue, $1,000.

In her paper Mrs. | Chappell stated that from informa- | and it must be rectified forthwith. On March 16 he ordered accused to | remove the manure and refuse from the rear of the premises at the same time notifying him that the building was not of sanitary construction. He ordered that the cows be taken away, and the stables removed A case of scarlet fever had 'broken out in that vicinity and on investigation learned the family afflicted had purchased milk from' Fedchishin. Unhold Department Magistrate Hind explained that it was his duty to uphold the health authorities. Ratepayers were spend- ing a lot of money to keep up the health department and he considered the money was wisely spent. With- out fits services all lives. in the com- munity would be jn jeopardy. Onc home had scarlet fever and while he was not saying it was due to milk purchased from the accused, precautions must be taken. The cost of obtaining a license was only 31 and the requirements for a person to secure a license were not very great. - Inspector Palmer stated ac- cused had sent his cows away to a farm after receiving the notice and His Worship taking into consider- ation that Fedchishin was trying io do what was right did not impose a heavy penalty. *I want this to} serve as a lesson to others" His Wor- ship added. In Police Court on Tuesday Char- ley Chong, proprietor of the Central Cafe, pleaded guilty to employing Annie Strachaski, of Cedar Dale, who is an adolescent between the age of 14 and 16 years, and does not hold a permit, or an employee's certificate as provided by the Act in regard to school attendance of ado- lescents. A fine of $2 and costs was imposed. There are 7o@nternational news writers in Genoa now, and it is hor- rible to think what would happen if some news should break loose at tion obtained from Oshawa Health | Department, the deduction was that | being of almost equally nutritive value as butter, and more moderate- ly priced, oleomargarine is of great | benefit to families of limited income. The old time objection to margarine, said Mrs. Chappell, was principally because of the unsanitary conditions under which it was produced, the waste fats from abattoirs being largely used and very little refining carried out. These fats quickly be- came rancid. To quote from -'Home and 'Community Hygiene," by John Broadhurst, "Oleomargarine is, ae- cording to the United States rulings, the term to be applied to butter or substitutes for butter, containing fats other than cream." Quality Now Improved After dealing with other phases of the question, Mrs. Chappell, in her paper pointed out that the laws which have been passed relating to the product have had the effect of vastly improving the quality of the imitation butter, and also of forcing the poorer grades of genuine butter out of the market, and so improving the general average quality of gen- uine butter. In view of these results we should oppose the prohibition of the sale cf oleomargarine, she said. As to the sale, from personal inves- tigation she finds that it sells at varying prices in different stores-- 25¢., 28¢., and 30., per pound. A few say they have not much demand, others report a good sale. AN IMPENDING ERUPTION Ottawa Journal: Some of the new summer costumes worn by women will be a veritable riot of bright colops.

This factory is one of Oshawa's new- est and promisin® industries, in which several local as well as out- side men have taken\a financial in- terest. The operation of the fac- tory has been held up pending the arrival of a motor to drive the ma- chinery, which has been on order for some time and was expected here this week. With its arrival and installation machines are ready to start and turn out cups,' saucers, all of which are on order.

Large Orders on Hand The Reformer man was shown several large orders received mostly for tableware from large Toronto firms. One of the first orders to be filled is one for Bowl's Lunch, con- sisting of mugs and other restaur ant requirements. In such a large restaurant the breakages annually must be some consideration, as well as those of other large places in the same business in the city. Another order is from the T. Eaton Company, woh have promised generous orders of the products are as good as can be purchased abroad. Manager Black has absolutely no doubt that this requirement can be fulfilled. The factory also has an offer from a wholesale crockery ffrm in Bran- don, Man., to handle the produéts made in Oshawa throughout the west. Needless to say the offer will be ae- cepted as soon as operations com- mence. Another order now on hand is a tenyear contract for the manu- facture of doll heads, for which the moulds, considered the best in Can- ada, are now on hand.
