Oh! What joy in its mesage to you and to me! It says "This is the first day of Spring" FLORENCE B. STEINER. * LJ] * Morch 21, the first day of Spring, and the herald of warmer weath- er, has at last arrived. Hot, balmy days, with here and there warm showers, are supposed to follow in rapid succession the advent of an- other season. But will they? Early Spring weather is regarded as very uncertain, and the Spring of 1929 is no exception, judging from the mixed dishes the weainw:- man has served up during the last mar Regent Theatre NOW PLAYING "A Single Man" Featuring LEW CODY AILEEN PRINGLE Comedy CHARLIE CHAPLIN in week or two. There may be a storm or two, with light snow-falls and spells of cold weather, but on the whole, March 21 is regarded as the turn- ing point ir the battle of the ele- ments, the advancing of General Spring with his army of flowers, sunny skies and invigorating airs. But the weatherman is not obliged to tie himself down to dates when it comes to changing the seasons, and other than representing March 21, the date means practically nothing, judging from today's con- ditions. After a long drawn out winter, which was more like a series of wintry spurts on the part of the weatherman ,it is generally agreed that the Old Man made a very poor job of bringing winter to Ontario this year, that is, of course, the southern part of the province. Snow came in short, sharp attacks, remaining for a few days and then succumbing to the influences of a thaw which turned the streets in- to a myriad of running rivulets which never lacked the muddy con- tent so characteristi of sloppy weather. Although the weatherman tried his hadest to banish the clouds and bring the sun out this morning, his efforts were in vain. Dark clouds hung in the eastern sky, and a chilly atmosphere continued throughout the day. But pros- pects for the future are bright, ae- cording to traditions, and it is gen- erally hoped they are correct, LIBERALS WIN IN BRITISH ELECTION "EASY STREET" New Martin Sally O'Neil 'Hardboiled' Added--COMEDY and (Cable Service to The Times by Liberals today gained a victory ia the Eddisbury division by-electivm, necessitated by the death of the Conservative, Sir, H.

AUDITORIUM VARIED PROGRAM AP- PRECIATED BY LARGE AUDIENCE One Act Comedy Proves a Fine Attraction--Orchestra Gives Splendid Numbers The General Motors Musical So- ciety last night gave one of their splendid concerts which was wit nessed by a large crowd and enjoyed to the utmost. Although the key to the program was humor, the many varied numbers were applauded to the echo, each artist having to res- pond to an encore, The high light of the program proved to be the one act play, 'Mixed Doubles", judging from the applause which followed the ringing down of the curtain, Six players were includ- ed in the cast, and managed to wind themselves up into the plot in such a manner that the success of the per- formance was assured from the very start. Professionalism was in every role and the plot itself of such a de- lightful comedy type that the aud- ience had to keep itself in restraint _ | until the finish before it could give forth its approval, The plot as indicated in the title of the play, wound around the troub- les which arose out of mixing up of husbands and wives in a little shack by the sea. The final dispursement of actors truly and fairly coupled off was well worked up and the climax to a splendid presentation, George Walsh, well known and pop- ular Oshawa bass soloist, proved his ability as an actor. It has been known 1that Mr. Walsh has seen active life upon the stage, but his appearance last night in the role of Harry Hig- gins, a convict surprised most pleas- urably the whole audience. His lines were faultless, as were those of the other members of the play, and his acting betrayed no trace of amateur- ishness whatever. Mr. Walsh will no doubt be in great demand to fill the capacity of a professional in the city and Oshawa must surely feel proud to claim him. The other members of the cast were Alice, Mrs. George Walsh, who also has scen active service on the English stage. Mrs. Walsh played the part of the first wife. Enoch, that humble home loving husband, was played by Mr. A, H. Power, Jim Tay- lor, another husband, by Hamilton McConnell, Bella Ring, a wife, by Beulah Walker, and Dora Knock by Flora Purdy. The General Motors orchestra un- der the direction of Mr. R, Fountain played several selections during the evening, among them being the "Marche Militaire" and "Bal Mas- que." Solos were rendered by Harry Havelock, who. sang "Good-bye"; Mrs. George Walsh, who gave "Char- maine"; George Walsh, the "Ser- geant Major on Parade." A, H. Pow- er provided some laughs with his "zlown" act which was well done and much appreciated, The always demanded Reg Terrett gave several humorous songs, "I'm real aristocracy now" and "Touch the harp gently." George Reoch gave a descriptive -monologue, "The Big Fight" and was obliged to encore with "Little Baptiste." A cornet solo by George Hood was much appreciat- ed. He played "Chanson D'Amour and encored with "Killarney." EDWARD R, CURTIN CALLED BY DEATH Oshawa for Many Years Succumbs at His Home Edward R. Curtin, prominent busi- ness man and life-long resident of this city passed away at his home, 39 Elgin street yesterday -afternoon following a short illness, Mr, Curtin was in his 45th year, : Born in Oshawa, Mr, Curtin re- ceived his early education here, at- tending - St. Gregory's Roman Catho- lic school, He finished his education at St. Michael's College in Toronto and returned to Oshawa to take up business here following completion of his studies there. He was owner of Curtin's Ready-To-Wear store on Simcoe street north which business he has carried on for the last 20 years, Through his connection with sport- ing activities in the city Mr. Curtin became very well-known. At one time he was the manager of the first girls' hockey team in the city. He also played a prominent part on teams in the city being on ardent la- crosse player, Mr, Curtin was a son of the late Michael Curtin, whose father was one of the pioneers of the district, drawing the stone for the erection of the first R. C. Church in Oshawa. Since that time, the Curtin family has been one of the foremost in the Oshawa parish of the church. Mr. Curtin interested himself in church activities to a very great extent. Surviving are Mrs, Florence Cur- tin, two sons, Edward aged 9, and Jack, 6, and two daughters, Olive, 13 and Loretta, 11.

Martin, Min- ister of Agriculture, at the Rotary Club Farmers' meeting in Brooklin last night. Hon. Mr, Martin also re- ferred to the establishment of co-op- erative societies for marketing farm produce, as the means of success for the Ontario farmer, and dealt with many of the modern farm problems, Speaking of the higher plane of the life of the farmer today, Hon. Mr. Martin said that, on his own farm, there had been none equal to that of the Hydro. "I and the other mem- bers of the Provincial Government will not be satisfied until there is a real extension of Hydro to the farms of the province," Mr. Martin declared to the audience. Speaking privately to a representative of The Times after the meeting, Hon, Mr. Martin stated that there would no doubt be an appreciable extension this year, and that the policy would be widened and extended in following years. : Turning to the modern farm prob- lems, the speaker admitted that there was today almost an embargo throughout the United States mark- ets on Canadian farm products, "Per- haps this is a blessing in disguise, Prominent Business Man of however," he said. "It is up to us to work out our own problems, and to have courage to face our difficulties," said Hon. Mr. Martin, who referred to the agricultural industry of today as a challenge to the young men oO the rural communities. The Ontario Department of Agriculture was doing its best to give educational help and to do scientific research work, and the Minister said with pride that the youth on the farms today were show- ing a great keenness in solving these problems, Co-operative Marketing A large part of the address of the Minister of Agriculture dealt with the advantages of co-operative mar- keting, his example being the suc- cessful work done in Denmark in this regard. This country set out to have the world's best butter, bacon and eggs, and succeeded through co-op- erative marketing. The farmer in Denmark received 75 per cent of the price paid by the consumer for his product, which benefited both farmer and consumer, because middlemen were to a great extent eliminated. Today, however, mainly through work ro to Rural Sections Probable This Year Hon. J. S. Martin States Hydro Policy at Meeting In Brooklin ! o ast Night done in the last five years, the quale ity of Ontario butter, eggs and bacon had come up to the standard of Den- mark. In Canada the people ate near- ly one egg per day, over 100 more per capita per year than in the Unit- ed States; Ontario butter was selling for the same price as Danish butter; and, through developing the correct type of bacon hogs, the guality oi .-:- Ontario bacon was now accepted on the English market as first class-- all of these being indications of a re- markable increase in quality. Part of this improvement has been due to compulsory grading opera- tions, and part to the formation of co-operative societies whereby the SPOKE AT BANQUET HON. J. 8. MARTIN Ontario Minister of Agriculture who addressed the farmews' banquet of the Oshawa Rotary Club held at Brooklin last night. members themselves sought to better the quality of their products, said the speaker. The co-operative marketing scheme was also working out well in the wool industry, and in the fruit grow- ing industry, as far as it had been introduced, It should be much fur- ther extended into the fruit growing field, however, and in many other lines, Hon. Mr. Martin declared. "I expect to sée a swing to the wide es-_ tablishment of co-operative societies in Ontario before many years," the speaker said. Scientific Knowledge In connection, with the adaption of scientific knowledge to agriculture, {| Hon, Mr, Martin referred to the ben- efit this had to the tobacco industry. By a soil survey, it was found that in Norfolk county, particularly, land thought almost worthless, was valu- able to produce flue-cured tobacco, Now growers are making $100 to $200 net profit annually off this land that was thought only good to grow trees. In the fighting of insect and animal pests, and in many other ways, the research work of the government had proven valuable to the farmers, and this knowledge should be taken. ad- vantage of more fully, he said, During his address, Hon, Mr, Mar- tin paid tribute to the late Hon. John Dryden, of the Brooklin vicinity, who had been Minister of Agriculture in his day. Even though he had been dead several years, his memory was still green, said Mr, Martin, The speaker also spoke in ¢omplimentary terms of the Hon, William Smith, a well known Federal member of Par- (Continued on Page 5) WE ARE AT Brookdale Nurseries BOWMANVILLE, Ont.
