ARMY OF SHOPPERS TREADING ROYAL ~ CHRISTMAS TRAIL "To Inches of Snow Today Soaring Christmas shopping took on an ad- déd zest today as Old Man Winter adorned the landscape in.a beautiful mantle of white. It requires snow to set the Christ- mas spirit soaring and its soaring to- day, | Low and Christmas are linked up together in the humap mind and it just needed the two inches that fell last night to make shoppers realize that the Christmas season was here and the joyous days but a short dis- tance away. Oshawa today was just a proces- sion of parcel-laden things. In every store clerks were busy and on every street arms were filled with multi colored parcels. e cold weather was hard on noses, but in the rush of Christmas shopping even the women forgot to use the powder puff, caring not whe- ther the nasal organ was shiny or not, Trade is Good "Christmas trade is good," the merchants say and the snow today seems to have brought out all the reinforcements of the army of buy- ers. Scasonable weather and the re- electio- of "only 14 more shopping days until Christmas" has brought the ary of shoppers to full strength. It's in toyland that the - greatest crush is seen--Little hands are busy trying the mechanical toys, stroki the teddy bears and rolling the doll carriages. Even the most fastidious sales girl] is too bus these days to* use the powder puff to touch up her com- plexion. : "Fourteen more shopping days to Christmas." ." Oshawans have learned the lesson of late shopping and are "doing it carly" in 1928. Like the millions in all parts of the world today, Oshawa shoppers are travelling the merry highway that + leads to Christmas day.

Decide Now Will we rally to the occasion and transform these clouded skies into havens of happiness, or will we al- low conditions, steadily growing stagnant to become even more so? It is up to us entirely to decide. There is no one pushing us; it isn't a matter of life and death to us-- but it may be to someone else. To depart this world knowing that there is some kindness in fit; to have benefitted by a cheerful act while serving one's life sentence here, leaves a spark uf love embed- ded in the innermost recesses of one's brain, but to feel that life itself is a pathway, set with treach- erous pitfalls; that each human being is for self alone is an exist- ence we would never wish on any- body. We therefore must decide--are we going to belp make life a little brighter for some who have ex- perienced only darkened trails, or are we not? The Christmas Cheer Committee of the City of Oshawa are con- fronted this year with a greater problem, a far more difficult prob- lem than they were last year, or the year previous to that. Oshawa's population has grown-enormously. With the influx of every type of individual the task of providing Christmas Cheer to those unfort- unates who are handicapped through loss of work or by other depreca.able circumstances be- comes materially harder, Indi- vidual canvassing is beyond the question. The only proposition that the committee may pla . before the public is that of a loyalty cam- paign--a campaign to raise funds to give the unfortunates a real Christmas--a campaign to establish a feeling of greater brotherhood than has ever existed in the city of Oshawa before, . Therefore again the cry comes up--give a penny if not a dollar-- but give the dollar-if you can pos- sibly spare it.. * Donations The subscription list is mounting steadily.

NATURE ARTISTS PAINT OSHAWA IN GLORY OF WHITE Old Man Winter and Master J. Frost Make an Impressive Hn Showing - Old Man Winter, aided by his lieutenayt Master J. Frost made a. pretentious effort to impose himseli in earnest on Oshawa last night, when he blew down a couple of in- ches of snow, painted the landscape in a glory of white and painted the windows with fantastic frost figures. . The weatherman had been herald- ing the coming of cold weather and snow flurries, and so the scene to- day was a cause of admiration if not a surprise, : Oshawans afoot and awheel found the conditions today a sizable taste of what may be expected later, Certainly the white covering has promoted the Christmas spirit, and improved business--and Kid Winter in his bout with Young Oshawa, has scored in the first round. 37% 'ting at too rapid a rate.

BLANKET OF SNOW The citizens of Oshawa arose this morning to find that during the night lawns, gardens, limbs of trees and housetops had been blanketed with the first snow of the winter, It sparkled in the bright morning sunlight and its freshness and beauty produced a sense keen exhilaration especially as one went outside to breathe in the bracing air.

MASONIC TEMPLE Oéhawa's new $75,000 Masonic temple is rising rapidly at the cor- mer of Centre and Metcalfe streets, The walls have now been built to a height of fifteen feet or' more and it will be but a short while before the roof is placed on the structure, A feature of this handsome edifice is the beautiful stonework with which it is facea, This includes tall columns set in the walls at varjous intervals which give an appearance of grace and strength. These are fluted like the pillars used in the ancient temples of Greece, Sg JOHNSON'S FIRST TEACHER In connection with the reception to Edward Johnson, world renown- ed tenor, in his native city of Guelph, this week an old timer in Oshawa recalls the fact that John- son's first teacher was Charlie Kelly, who, half a century ago con- duc.ed a barber shop in Bowman- ville.

Mr. Crouch had made certain measurements and arrived at the same conclusion as Chief Gunson, namely that Beaman's car Reserved had stopped 63 feet west of where the body lay. i Crown Attorney MeGibbon re- marked that the evidence of James McQuay 8 of outstanding note as the boy tgld the court that when he went to the scene of the accident, Beaman pointed out his car and said that! that was where he had stopped after hitting Miss Loach, He made a mark at the side of the road by. the rear wheel and the next day measured the distance from this to where the body lay. The distance was 108 feet, When Chief Gunson made his measurement, Beaman fs said to have stood on the spot where he first stopped his car and the dist- ance arrived at was 63 feet. Defence Plea Counsel for the defence contend- ed that answers made by Beaman to certain questions asked by Chief Gunson could not be admitted as evidence as there was no corrobor- ation to prove that the prisoner had been given the necessary warn- ing." He submitted in his address to the bench that for manslaughter there must be shown some contri- buting cause such as regligence, furious driving and so forth. There was no evidence to that the defend- ant had been driving at a furious rate of speed, he claimed. Mr, Cof- fey realized that it was the pre- liminary hearing, but felt that his client should not be committed for trial. He pointed out that his con- duct after the accident had been good, Crown Attorney McGibbon said he thought the evidence was suffi- cient to commit Beaman for trial.

McGibbon when calling for sentence of the court on the accused, stated that be believed the case to be one of the worst that had come to his atten- tion. He said he had no use, what- ever, for the man who would leave his family, make no attempt at keeping them, and mingle with others out of the home, In answer to Mr. Kennedy, the defense counsel, who pleaded for suspended sentence for his client, Mr. McGibbon stated that he would, under no consideration, consent to suspended sentence. The value of the goods alone, the crown attor- ney pointed out, reached $60 which the accused had stolen from the General Motors plant, and had taken to his home in his dinner pail.
