He maintained this business until 20 years ago when he 'entered General Motors of Can- ada as a foreman of one of the stock rooms. He retired 15 years ago after five years with the General Motors Company. Ambrose Henry married Miss Sa- rah Tuer of Haydon, Ontario, She predeceased him by six years, having also attained a splendid old age, There are only two immediate re- latives 'in the family, Mrs. John He- rancourt, of this city, a daughter, and her son, Ross, a grandson of Mr. Henry, Typical Pioneer Besides a wide circle of friends in Oshawa, Mr. Henry leaves a number of close friends and acquaintances in the district surrounding the city dur- ing his life he became associated with residents both far and near to his home town. He will be sadly missed throughout the city as many now li- ving in Oshawa remember. him as one of the typical pioneers and ohe to give his support to a town striving to take its place among the growing communities. Although not a member of the Sim- coe street United church, Mr. Henry was a regular adherent to the church and only two months ago took his usual place at the service. Gradual failure in health, however, made it necessary for him to take to bed, and although he has been out at one or' two" tities," mever fully recovered sufficiently to again attend 'church services. An Ancient Mason One of the chief interests of the life of the late Mr. Henry lay in the Masonic Order, He was an ard- ent member of the Craft, and play- ed a large part in its development VETERAN MASON DIES 1 A | | AMBROSE HENRY One of Oshawa's best known cite zens, and an outstanding veteran of the Masonic Order, passed away last night after a lengthy illness. MRS. JOHN ERRIDGE DIES HERE, AGED 83 Had Been in Poor Health for Some Time--Was Pion- eer Resident Mrs. Isabell Erridge, widow of the late John Edward Erridge, a pioneer resident of Oshawa, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 0. Maelnally, 97 Bruce street at 10 o'clock this morning. She was in her 84th year and had heen in poor health for some time although she did not take to bed until Fri- day last. Mrs. Erridge was born in this city on the corner where the King street United Church now stanus and was particularly well known in Oshawa. Her husband prede- ceased her by nine years, having at- tained the age of 78, Mrs, Erridge has been a life lohg resident of tais city, and a member of King street United Church although she has heen unable to attend services for some months, owing to ill health. Surviving besides her daughter, Mrs. Maclnally, are two grandsons, Frank Annis, of Toronto, and Lloyd MaclInally, at home and one grand- daughter, Mrs. William Kuxtable, of Oshawa. One son and two daughters, also predeceased their mother. Funeral services will be conduct- ed at the home of her daughter, on Bruce street, Wednesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clack, Rev. Canon C, R. de Pencier officiating. Interment will be made in Union cemetery. in Oshawa. At the recent dedication of the Oshawa Masonic Temple, the toastmaster of that occasion, George Hart, gave Mr. Henry credit for con- ceiving the idea of the Temple, and having been its inspirer. On" that oc- casion, also, a tribute was paid to Mr, Henry when. the flowers from the head table were sent to him, as he lay sick at home. He sent back to the banquet a message, expressing his gratitude, and promising that he would make an effort to visit' the Temple within a few days. That. promise Mr. Henry carried out. Two weeks ago, he was taken to the Masonic Temple, and carried upstairs to the lodge room, where he was placed in the chair he once occupied, the Master's Chair. Happy to have taken his seat, if only for once, -in the lodge room of the Tem- ple he inspired, he went back to his home, never to leave it again. ' A Distinguished Record The late Mr. Henry held some of the highest offices in the Masonic Order. He was past grand steward of* the Grand Lodge of Canada, m the province of Ontario. In the Roy- al Arch Masons, he was past grand superintendent of district No. 10, of the Grand Chapter of Canada, R.A. M., and was also past principal' of the Pentalpha Chapter, No. 28, G.R. C., Royal Arch' Masons, Oshawa. It is interesting to note that he was first principal of the Pentalpha Chap- ter, holding that office in 1896 and 1897, He was past master of Cedar Lodge, No. 270, AF. and AM, fill- ing the chair of worshipful master in 1891. At the time of his death, he was janitor and an honorary life member of the Pentalpha Chapter, and was tyler for the Lebanon, Ce- dag, and Temple lodges of this city. He was also director of ceremonies anda life member of Cedar Lodge. His membership in the Masonic Order dated back for over half 'a century, and last year, when the meeting of the Grand Lodge was held in London, he was onc of a few Ma- sonic veterans to be presented with a specially-cast medal to mark over fifty years of service to the Craft. Mr. Henry's wise counsel will be greatly missed by the Masonic Bre- thren, by whom he is universally mourned, Funeral services will be conducted at the home on Drew street by Rev. Ernest Harston, pastor of Simcoe street United church on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock. A special Masonic service will be held at the Masonic Temple following the scr- vice in the home. Interment will take place in Union cemetery. The pallbearers will be Charles Pirie, George W. McLaughlin, George Hart, Albert Crowle, H. Saunders and C. C. Stenhouse. ry Limited 86 KING ST. E.

CONDUCTED ANNIVERSARY Rev. Dr. Fletcher conducted Sun- day School anniversary services yes- terday in Blackstock United church. The pulpit of Centre Street United Church was filled during the day by the Blackstock pastor, Rev. J. Griffith, B.A., chairman of the Osh- awa Presbytery. In the merning he stressed the importance of religion in all education, and in the evening he spoke of the longing for light and the effort to attain it. The two ser- vices were thoroughly enjoyed. A FINE CATCH An excellent eatch of ten beau- tiful brook trout, the result of a fishing trip to an unnamed stream in the vicinity of Cobourg, was dis. played to the envious eyes of his fellow Rotarians today by Stewart Alger, who had the fish nicely laid out before the members prior to the weekly luncheon of the club as a testimony to his prowess as an an- gler, The fish were certainly beau- ties, two of them being 13 inches long, and the others only slightly smaller. All efforts 'to pry out of the fisherman the location of the stream in which they were caught MRS. H. BOWRA DIES Charles Bowra, owner of the Bowra Electric: Company of Osh- awa, has received word here of the death of his mother, Mrs. H, Bowra, aged 63 years.

This fund is for new buildings and endowment. FIRE AT THE FITTINGS Fire starting in the region of the coal pulverizer at the Fittings Plant at 2.40 o'clock this morning caus- ed consternation for some time un- til firemen, working desperately were able to get the blaze under control. Several lines of hose were laid and a steady stream played on the fire which threatened to eat its way into the certre of the pulver- ized coal. Although Fire Chief El- liott would make no estimate of the damage, it is believed the loss would not amount to a great deal. A spark or spontaneous combustion might have started the blaze, Chief Elliott stated to The Times, RESIGNS FROM THEATRE Owing to the installation of the Movietone at the Regent Theatre doing away with the necessity of an orchestra, J. W. Watson, who has been the musical director at the theatre for the last two years,, has resigned. Mr. Watson, however, will not be leaving Oshawa, but will continue to direct a high class orchestra here, and his organization E.| will be available for concerts and dances and other social functions in the city and district. Mr. Wat; son will also have his study. open, and will accept pupils for tuition in the violin.

CULLING WELL-KNOWN HERE CALLED BY BEATH Had Been Ill for Seven Months From Heart Disease For 25 years a resident of this city during which time he became a prominent figure in athletic and acquatic circles, Captain William 'K. Culling, genial lifeguard at Lakeview Park, died at his sum- mer home at the park yesterday morning about ten o'clock. He had been suffering from heart disease for the last seven months and just recently had experienced a setback. He never seemed to rally to medi- cal treatment and gradually became worse until overcome by death yes- terday, "Cap" Culling, as he was known to many at the park, and under which name he was entreated by hundreds during his life as guard to demonstrate his acquatic powcys had@ held such a position for the last ten years. He has rescued 40 from perilous positions on the lake or from immediate drowning dur- ing that time, the names of which he has carefully recorded in his "log" book at his cottage in Lake- view. Born in Norwich, England, Cap- tain Culling came to this country 25 years ago, settling in the city of Oshawa. He was in his 61st year when he died. Five years ago he served for 2 years as a constable on the Osn- awa police force and up until his death held the position of county constable. He began his career us a blacksmith with General Motors. later transferring to the acetylene welding department. He belonged during his employment at General Motors to the First Aid Department experience from which was to aid him during his period as life guard at the lake. Just previous to the outbreak of the Great War, Captain Cuniug played in the band of the 116th Regiment at Niagara Falls but was hurt during a lightning storm at that place, and forced to sever his connections with the band.

MISSING LAD IS FOUND IN QUEBEC The city fire department was called shortly after 12 o'clock yes- terday to a fire in the basement of Arnold's Market, 16 Simcoe street south. The cause of the alarm was an overheated motor on the automatic ice machine, which caused clouds of smoke to permeate the building, but no damage was done other than by the smoke. The firemen turned off the motor and allowed it to cool down, without the use of chemicals' or water being neces- sary. : Observing Eye The presence of mind of Thomas McKay, a young lad who lives in the neighborhood, and who is an employe of The Times, in report- ing to the nearest policeman who happened to eb at the police sta- tion, that wisps of smoke were is- suing from around the windows of the store, probably saved the block from experiencing a more serious fire, acording to Fire Chief W. R. Elliott. The firemen, he said, had found a pile of excelsior, boxes and other inflammable material stored in the cellar within a few inches of the motor, and the chief declared that in a few minutes more the motor would probably have burst into flames and ignit- ed the whole mass in the cellar, giving the firemen a much more difficult task and perhaps threat- ening the entire hlock, in the cen- are one daugme, |- tre of which this store is situated. ITTLE GIRL STRUCK BY PASSING CAR, MAKING PROGRESS Marion Jones, 290 Nassau Street, Seriously Injured Near Her Home Struck by a passing automobile driven by Arthur Holdsworth, 290 Nassau street, last Thursday even- ing, on Nassau street, Marion Groves, now lies in a serious con- dition in the Oshawa General Hos- pital suffering from broken thighs and head ijuries.

Robertson Delivered an Interesting Address, Showing the Great De- velopment in Automobile Traffic in Ontario in Re. cent Years Vv IN THE FOREFRONT IN ROAD BUILDING Speaker Points Out That Building of Good Roads Is Just As Beneficial to the Motor Car Industry as to the Individual Car Owner An interesting address on the growth of motoring 'for both utility and pleasure, and the rapid increase in the good roads system that has re- sulted and will further result from this growth, 'was given at the Oshawa Rotary Club's noon luncheon in Welsh's parlors today by W. G. Rob- ertson, secretary-treasurer of the On- tario Motor League. Mr. Robertson also pointed out the value that the work of the O.M.L. had been in furthering the interests of motorists, and particularly the value that the motorists of this city would incur through the: local club, which is affiliated with the league. The text of his address is given below. The Address "With the co-operation: of the Chamber of Commerce, the members of the Ontario Motor League in Osh- awa arc now gngaged in organizing what promises to be one of the livest and largest automabile clubs in Can- ada. It is altogether fitting that such" a club should be formed in this great automobile centre. In Detroit, for ex- ample, the hub of the automobile in- dustry in the United States, one of the largest automobile clubs in the world is to be found--the Detroit Au- temobile Club. While the Automo- bile Club is a club of car users, and concerned with the use and operation of motor vehicles, and not with their manufacture and sale, there is never- theless a close relation between car manufacturer and car user which is well understood in this city. For ex- ample, the building of goods roads is just as helpful to the automobile in- dustry as it is beneficial to the car cwner. "Development of motor transport gives impetus to road building. The building of many miles of paved high- ways, in turn gives further impetus to motor transport. In the last ten years greater progress has been made in the construction of roads through- 'cut the Dominion of Canada than in the previvous fifty years. One Car to 8 Persons "During the present year it is esti- mated that registrations of motor ve- hicles in Canada will be close to 1,» 200,000. There are now only three countries in the world--the United States, Great Britain and France--in which a greater number of motor ve- hicles are owned than - in Canada; while in proportion of cars to popu- lation, one car to every 8 persons, the Dominion of Canada ranks next to the United States. "The widespread use of the motor car in this country by all classes is not to be attributed ta a popular pas- sion for the pleasures of motoring, It is the utility' of the motor car as a means of transport which has led to its well-nigh universal use. Nearly half of all the motor cars owned: in Canada belong to farmers.' The pre= sident of one of our great railway systems, in a recent public address, declared that in his opinion, no ag- ency, not even the railway, had con- tributed as much tothe improvemehit of social and economic conditions in the rural life of Canada-as had the' motor car. ¥ Ontario in Forefron "Of 53,000 mjles of roads in the Pros. vince of Ontario alone, 30,000 are now hard surfaced roads, a proportion which is not equalled by any of the great states of the - United States. One may leave the' city of Toronto and drive to almost any City in Weste .
