OSHAWA, THURSDAY, JUNE 29. BAND CONCERTS PREFERRED UNACCOMPANIED Inclement weather has prevented the Reglyental Band giving many open air concerts at Alexandra Park 'this season. However, even the con- certs already given have not been enjoyed by many people as they would like because of the continual noise near the hand stand, cansed by 'children playing on the swings, etc., to the south, . While the playground equipment ,was pldced there for the pleasure "and the convenience of the chiidran, there ought to be yome restraigt upon them for the two hours in the week when the Band gives a con- cert for the enjoyment of residents generally, Perhaps the Park Board could have the caretaker exercise some supervision over the children during the concerts, or possibly the police, already burdened with much work and detail, but who are fre- quently on duty at the park, could caution the children to make less noise during the concerts, Action by the Park Board or the police toward this end would be greatly appreciated by music lovers who want to hear the band without "the accompaniment of clanging swings, ete. COUNCIL = SHOULD INVITE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO VISIT OSHAWA The committee of the Legislature appointed to inquire into, and report on hotel accommodation in the prov- ince, With a view to improving it, is already at work. Summer resorts are being visited now, but before next session when the committee is to report, the province will be cov- ered, although of course that does not mean- every city, town and vil- lage will be a stopping place. ; Oshawa's lack of adequate hptel accommodation is admitted on every side. Unfortunately this unsatisfac- tory condition of affairs is also too well known outside of the town for the good of this industrial centre. It is most desirable that the legisla- tive comittee when it is on tour, should visit Oshawa. Peterboro Chamber of Commerce took the im- tiative in the Lift Lock City and sent an invitation to the committee to visit there and ascertain condi- tions. The Board of Trade locally is inactive, but the Council will be meeting again next week, and The Reformer would suggest that that body extend an invitation to the committee to come here. ENCOURAGING BAND MUSIC A band contest is to be a feature of the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto again this year. Last year when this form of competition was introduced it proved a success, 50 much so, in fact, that the Exhibi- tion officials were encouraged to continue the contests. This year efforts are being made to arouse greater interest in the con- test. and to have more bands enter, A representative of the Exhibition visited Oshawa a couple of weeks ago, and personally invited the Regi- mental Band to enter. . Unfortu- nately, this musical organization has been somewhat disorganized during recent months, and now have a new leader. It is probably too much to expect that the Regimental Band could go to the contest this year and 'capture. the honors. However, it costs nothing to enter, the distance to Toronto is not great so that the railway fares would not be a pro- hibitive item, and the bandsmen would be well advised to bear in mind "Never venture, never win." There are two clagses in the con- fest, "A" open to bands of not over #0 instrumentalists including drums, and "B" open to bands from towns of not over 8,000 population, the maximum number of players to be 25, including drums. The prizes in the first competition are $1,000, $500 and $350, and in the second $600, $300 and $200. In addition there are special awards to members of bands winning first prizes. A special Challenge Trophy also goes to the winning band in Class "A." "These competitions are run on gimilar lines to the celebrated Crys- tal Palace Band Contests in d, and they are being with a view to elevating the standard of band music in Canada.

The United Farmers' Co-operative Company, Ltd. of Ontario, have re- cently received 1,350 tons of binder twine from Ireland, said by The Bel- fast Telegraph to be the largest sin- gle shipment that ever left Belfast. Evidently they do have a little time in Ireland to do some work between scraps, John Butler (Continued from page 1) hammers and had seen the block in use during all that time, Deceased often did the kind of work he had been doing on the morning of the accident, It was a simple job and | deceased had been instructed in the | work, He was generally pretty care- ful. Every man who had worked on that job was watched and instructed, and a man was going around all the time, Witness stated that Govern- ment inspectors had been there fre- quently and had never complained about the hammer, so far as he knew, If any complaints were made in con- nection with any machinery, the in- spector"s wishes were complied with at once, It was the first accident of this na- ture that ever occured at this ma- chine, "When the stick is prop- erly in place, an accident of this kind could not occur," witness said. | "I do not know any safer system, | The stick was in good condition but a slight corner had been taken off it." When asked if the stick could be | found, witness thought that it had not been kept, He had tried the ma- chine after the accident and it was working satisfactorily, The same! stick had been used for a day after-| wards. A. W.

A Major Operation of 'the case, and administered the an-| esthetic, was the principle witness | of the evening. He considered the operation in question to be of a] major character, although under or- dinary circumstances, the amputation of a finger was considered to be a minor operation. Witness stated ether was the usual anesthetic as freezing was not used for that type of operation. The bones were crush- ed from the tips to the junction of the hand with the fingers, while the little finger also needed atten- tion. The patient's skin felt cold and he seemed unstrung. The nurse gave him am injection of morphine! on his arrival at the Hospital, but no signs of a cold were detected. Only an average dose of morphine had been given.. The usual procedure of giving an anesthetic was carried out. To have used no anesthetic would have been more dangerous than using it in this case, witness thought. The usual dose had been given and it had the usual effect. : Half Hour For Preparations It took about half an hour to pre- pare for the operation, the nurses do- ing the work before Dr. McKay arriv- ed. Witness stated he started to give the patient a little ether so the nurse could wash the wound before Dr. McKay came. There was no apparent disease of the lungs or heart. The patient was too fleshy if anything. In reply to 2a question by the Coroner Dr. McKibbon testified' 'that Dr. McKay was in the Hospital when the anesthetic was given. He gave ether to lessen the shock; if pain were in- flicted the shock would be increased and ether was used for humane pur- Removed Tumor Foot "Would you expect a |patient to die following an operation of this nature under ordinary circumstan- ces? asked Col.

He had left the patient allright, he said, but did not know at the time whether the little finger could be saved." Worse on Wednesday "I saw him again Monday evening, the same day the operation was per- formed and he was suffering a good deal of pain," 'witness continued,' I saw the patieht again Tuesday morning and he seemed a little bet- ter, pain was not so bad although he was running a little temperature, I saw him again Wednesday morning and he had taken a turn for the worse and thought he was develop- ing pneumonia." Witness thought Jthe ether was a contributing factor in causing it. On Wednesday eve- ning, the patient was rather worse breathing very rapidly, coughing and was complaining of pain in the chest, Thursday morning he had hecome gradually worse and kept going down hill; with his heart growing weaker, which did not react with the remedies uged. Might Have Been Bronchitis In speaking Yo the jury as to his opinion of the cause of death, he stated that there was more than one factor in the development of pneu- monia, he thought the man had been chilled on the way to the Hos- pital and a man of his type could not stand an illness of that nature, On the morning when the accident occurred the air was fresh hut not real cold. : When questioned by Cor- oner Rundle, witness stated he was in charge of ther case, and the patient was a poor sighject, which he realized at the time and had used ether. Witness did not think the patient lost very much blood. There was no evidence of bronchitis al- though - the stethoscopic examina- tion might not have disclosed it. He was suffering from shock. Wit- ness did not think the patient went to the operating room so soon as 7.28 which was stated by a previous witness. There was about half an hour delay for preparations.

Then came the dissappointment. One day a slight trouble developed, in the oven of each range, and of course, just when the housewife wanted to bake. One lady immediately phoned The Electric Shop, where she had bought her range; notified them of her trouble--and inside a half an hour it was located, remedied, and The other lady phoned for an Electrician, who promised to be the oven in operation. out the same day to make repairs, After examination, he informed her she should get in touch with the place where she bought the range, and they would probably make She did, and was informed, that as the factory representative would be in her neighbourhood almost any day it would be advisable to wait and have him call when the trouble would be remedied. There seemed nothing to do but wait, repairs at no charge. and wait she did, apparently O.K.
