Conditions were generally normal... One clash was reported from Montpellier in Southern France, but it was without great importance, London reported a few street pro- cessions and meetings at factory gates in industrial quarters. The British capital's part in the anti-war day was far from sensational. Berlin waited watchfully without eporting any disturbances, Brus- sels, Vienna, Sofia, Budapest and Copenhagen were all tranquil beyond police expectations. The. calm in the turbulent Balkans was notable. However, it would be a great deal worse if some men preached vhat they practice.-- Detroit News. v, What Others Say fosjonfesfecfortecfosfonfosfored [EPLY TO "A LOVER OF MUSIC" i July 31, 1929 he Editor Dear Sir: Will you be good enough to pub- lish this letter in answer to the one in your issue of July 30th, signed "A Lover of Music." In the first place the Regimental Band gets $500, and the Citizens Band © $300, and only play outside during the summer months, while the S. A. Band get $250, and play out all the year round. Salvation Army bandsmen through- out the world do not receive one cent emuneration for their services, but on the other hand pay into their own pand fund, support their own church land buy their own uniform. All col- fections at the lake and elsewhere go into the corps fund for the local 3 3 3 Le '. rk. work. S.A. band are giving a series lof concerts at the Hospital, where one was given on July 17th, and a report of the same published in this paper. Further, the week-night con- certs in the local parks have been ar- ranged between the citizens and re- gimental bands, and the S.A. band has no wish to trespass upon this d. king of Memorial Park, which is still minus the $500 band-stand granted by the finance committec, out of 2500 population their is an, average attendance of 50. Alexan- dra Park is not much better, and the attendance at the lake on Sundays is composed mostly of visitors. , The motive behind the S.A. band's playing is something more _than merely to please lovers of music, 1f "A Lover of Music" wishes to criticize, he should be sportsmen enough to publish his name and ad- dress, and if he will do this, I am certain the S.A. band will come and give him a free concert on his front nt Yours faithfully, H. J. GENTRY, 4 S.A. Band. ive "AGED OSHAWA MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED C. C. McDonnell Sustained Injuries in Fall From Hay Wagon C. C. McDonnell, aged father of F. J. McDonnell, well known local gar- ageman, met with a painful accident last Saturday when he fell from a load of hay and sustained a broken shoulder blade and broken breast bone, while helping a neighbor load hay on a farm near Peterboro. In spite of his 86 years Mr. McDon- nell was accustomed to doing all kinds of farm work but on this particular occasion it is thought that he was overcome with the heat and fainted, thus falling from the top of the load. He has been removed to St. Joseph's Hospital, Peterboro, and hope is held for his recovery. As a young man he had been known as one of the strongest in the district.

Etherly and son Bert of Toronto and Lloyd Hewison of Oakville spent Sunday at the home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs, Norman Hewi- son, A sad gloom has again passed over our village when friends heard of the sudden death of onc of our former Raglan boys, in the person of John Platten, voungest son of Mrs, Jas. Platten of Port Perry. Deccased had been instantly kill- ed while working as fireman. on the train at Detroit. John, stepping from the train after his day's work was done, unknowingly stepped di- rectly in the path of a west bound train which caused death instantan- cously. John wgs only. twenty years of age, having lived here on the home place until the father's death, when they sold out and moved to Port Perry four yearsrago. No work there John took up his trade as fireman in De- troit where he lived until his death. He will be greatly missed not only in his home but by a large circle of friends, He is survived by his mother, four sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Mc- Donald of Oshawa, Mildred, Mar- \joric and Harriet of Port Perry, Clif ford of Toronto, Harold of Detroit and Emerson of Oshawa, to whom is extended the heart felt sympathy of all. The deepest regret has been ex- pressed in his sad death and at the funeral service on Monday after- noon at the United Church, Port Perry, conducted by their pastor, a large number of friends and relatives gathered to do honour to his memory. A wealth of floral beauty and rich- ness attended the loving regard and csteem in which the deceased lad was held. Interment was made at Pine Grove Cemetery, Prince Albert. The pall bearers were six chums of the deceased. A large number from here attend- ed the Enfield and Manchester gar- den party on Wednesday and Thurs- day evenings of last week. Mr. and Mrs. L. Knapp and family of Burketon were Sunday guests of Mr. J. E. Nottingham. nim A meeting of the church board of the four appointments, Manchester, Prospect, Myrtle and Raglan was held in the Methodist church here on Monday evening. A good attend- ance was present, a silver collection was taken after which the ladies of the community served refreshments and a social hour was spent, and the meeting was then brought to a close by Rev. Mr, Merriam leading in prayer, Misses Mary and Olive Sims of Oshawa were week end visitors at their home here. : A big improvement is being made on the Mount Carmel school, receiv- ing a fresh coat of paint, Mr, Andy Pilkie having the job. Mrs. Wm. Hoar of Myrtle and her daughter, Mrs. Davidson of Il- finois, visited at the home of Mr. TF, Drings on Friday. The trustees of the Raglan school have been successful in securing Miss .Jean Pollock of Norval Station as teacher for the ensuing year. This will be the second time for her as teacher here. Mrs. L. Gillespie of Burkley, Mr. and Mrs. H. Gillespie and son of Markdale and Mr, and Mrs, Patten of Thornhill were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dring on Sunday. The alsike crop has had a great draw back this last week owing to the very heavy rains. Most of the farmers are successful in being able to, thresh it out of doors. Mrs. A. J. Grose has been elected president and Estella Dring secre- tary-treasurer for the Bible Society for the coming year. Hazel Pearson, Twila Turner of Toronto are spending a week's vaca- tion at their homes here. J Mrs. Ross Latimer and son Bill of Toronto are spending a few days at the home of her mother, Mrs. \WWm.

Relatives of the missing man and woman are still anxiously awaiting any trace of their bodies and this morning were assisting in the search. Continue Search On account of the currents and the wind, it is feared that the bod- ies may have drifted far from the vicinity of the tragedy. Yesterday afternoon," W. H. Barnhart, who is lifeguard at the lakefront, made two trips out in the lake in his motor launch but failed to find any trace of the missing people. This morning he again went out on the lake, accompanied by Edwin Gomme and Robert Beckwith, Members of the fire department under Captain Culling, were also engaged in the search this morn- ing, but their efforts met with no result. The manner in which four came to their death still remains a mystery, but the finding of the up- turned rowboat last Tuesday after- noon indicates that they were lost in the lake. The whole city has been shocked by the tragedy and it is regarded as one of the worst accidents in the history of the beach. Inquest Not Likely At the present time there is nc likelihood of an inquest. Mrs. Beck- with had resided in Oshawa with her husband for two years and pre- viously had lived in England. Stapeley has a wife and six sons including Clarence, of Toronto, Percy, Belleville; Frank, Toronto; Earl, Cecil, and Lester, of Oshawa. The funerals of Mrs. Gomme and of baby Beckwith, whose bodies were found in the lake Tuesday af- ternoon, is being held tomorrow af- ternoon at 2.30 o'clock from the Luke Burial Parlors, King street E. W. . DAVIS MAKES STATEMENT 10 HIWANIS CLUB (Continued from page 1) the season advances. This enablea the production and material de- partments to organize their work, and have materials from the vari- ous plants ready for the assembly line as the schedule calls for. Mr. Davis then traced the making of a car from the raw materials to the finished product in a brief but interesting way. Salvation Army Work A brief adress on the work of the Salvation Army was also given by Kiwanian A. J. Graves, who has been for many years active in this organization. He told how the workers of the Army had concen- trated in many cases on social prob- lems, and-of some of the marvelous work that they had accomplished in lifting up the '"down-and-outs and setting them on their feet again. The Salvation Army system he said, not only took care of the people who were quite open with their appeals for aid but also sought out the other and more de- serving type, that were really in dire need but never complained. Mr. Graves remarked on the close co-operation received by the Salva- tion Army from the service clubs. and extended thanks to all who had stood by its work in a financial way. Attendance Prizes Prizes were awarded for the best attendance over a three months' period, and, since there were eight members with a hundred per cent. attendance, names were drawn. Ki- wanian John Brock received a wrist watch, donated by Kiwania, 'n. Bassett, and Kiwanian T. W. Joyce a Kodak donated by Kiwanian Percy Beattie. The other members with a perfect attendance record were A. J. Parkhill, president of the club, Tom Muffitt, Jack Mec- Leod W. J. Trick Alex Ross and H. Goodwin. A new member, Jack Worral, was received into the clun. Kiwanian J. C. McGibbon, crown attorney, made an appeal for posi- tions for a man 23 years of age, and a woman with four children. The man was sentenced to Kings- ton - Penitentiary for 4 years and who can now get out on parole if he has a job to 'go to. He was an honest and sincere man who had gotten into trouble through bau companionship, the crown attorney stated, offering to personally vouch for him. The woman, while of for- eign birth, was a_good worker, and had her childre} to support be- cause she could nov get the Mo- thets' Allowance, her husband not having been naturalized. A job was found for her through one of ) good. i rn A hn. SL RNS. § 'Util, "A" 45 Bid " TORONTO High Low 12.30 51 51 Bell Tel, 171 171 Braz. .. 608 605 Br. A, Oil' 49% 49% Carl, .. 14% 14% Can.

PLACING FENCE AT SCHOOL Work has started on tke placing of a high stecl fence on the north, west and south sides of the Mary street school grounds, pursuant to a recent decision of the Board of Edu- cation. This fence will remove the very real danger of injury to school children running out onto the streets while playing on the school grounds, as there was formerly nothing to confine them within the grounds. DANGEROUS SITUATION A dangerous situation for traffic has been created at the intersection of Park road and King street, Park road: is a gravel thoroughfare and as it is above the level of King strect considerable gravel has been washed on to the highway, thus lim- iting the width of the bare pavement. This gravel might easily be cleared away and the matter should be brought to the attention of the city and township councils. NEW CHIEF PAYS VISIT Chief of Police Venton, of Bow- manville, paid a visit to the local po- lice station this morning where he was cordially received by Chief Friend and members of the force.

ONTARIO REGINENT BAND'S GONCERT Music . Enjoyed by Large Gathering of Citizens at the Park The Ontario Regiment band rend- ered a very attractive band concert in Lakeview Park last evening to. a number of appreciative music lov- ers. Starting at eight o'clock, the band played a number of classical selections that were all well receiv- ed.

The big dirigible, carrying 18 passengers, steadily, but cautious- ly negotiated the difficult moun- tainous regions between Basel, Switzerland, and Lyons, France, this morning, and was reported at Montelimar in Southern France, 90 miles from the mouth of the Rhone, at 12.40 p.m, (6.40 a.m. E.S.T.)

ER LE Ew = STS JAIL SENTENCE ON CHARGE OF - SELLING LIQUOR FRANK SCHAFER PLEADED GUILTY TO CHARGE Counsel For Crown and De- fence Have a Verbal Battle _ Pleading guilty to a charge of sell- ing liquor contrary to the provisions of the Liquor Control Act, Frank Schafer, was sentenced to two months at hard labor in the county jail at Whitby, and ordered to pay costs in the ease amounting to $18.90. If he'is unable to pay the costs he will be required to serve a further period of one month in jail. Defence Plea D. A. J. Swanson, appearing for the accused, contended that although his client had performed an illegal act it was not a "sale" in the sense that Schafer was engaged in distri- buting liquor at a profit. He clainied that according to the facts which had been laid before him, Schafer had purchased a case of ale at the Liquor Store for another man. He gave the man half the case and retained the other half, or six quart bottles, A few days later he arranged to give this second person the remaining six bottles. A taxi diver came to Schaf- er's home in order to transport the liquor and it was while the taxi man was carrying the carton from the house to the car that the police ar- rived on the scene. The defense counsel contended that Schafer was not attempting to sell liguor at a profit and pointed out that in this respect he was disobeying the letter, but not the spirit of the law. The Crown Statement "Let me give the court the facts as the Crown knows them," 'stated Crown Attorney I. A. McGibbon ad- dressing His Worship. "This, place has been in the cyes of the police for several weeks and it has a name." "I object," interrupted Mr. Swan- son, "This is not fair, My learned friend has no right to make any such statement." The Crown and defense counsel then crossed swords in a brief wordy battle ,the Crown Attorney insisting that he had a right to relate the facts as given to him by the police. "Are yeu living with your wife?" asked Magistrate Hind in addressing the accused. "No, not at present," witness re- plied. "Do vou ious about Worship. "Yes," witness admitted. Complaint From Wife His Worship pointed out that he had received a letter from Mrs. Schafer inquiring about her husband There was a sick child in the hespi- tal at Toronto. and he = wished to know why the accused was not car- ing for -his family, Schafer replied that he was sup- porting his wife and child to 'thé best of his ability. Evidence was given the court to show that the accused, who has re- sided in Oshawa for the past three years, was a good worker, After sentence had been passed Schafer promised the court that he would at- tend strictly to his business and look after the nceds of his family, LARGE DECREASE SHOWN IN THE CUSTOMS RETURNS FIGURES FOR JULY > she is anx- His realize you?" that questioned FOR ABOUT HALF OF LAST YEAR Largest Decrease Is Shown in the Returns for Import Duties Customs collections for the past month amounting to $439,644.69 show a drop of $436,427.30 from the toi- als for the corresponding month of last year according to the monthly report issued to The Times today by the customs department for the Port of Oshawa.

PORT PERRY UNITED 'CHOIR HELD PICNIC Enjoyable Event Was Staged at Lakeview Park Yesterday 4 A very pleasant afternoon and eve- ning was spent at the lake by the members of the Port Perry United church choir, yesterday, when they held a very successful picnic. Yes- terday was the first time for six vears that the choir held a picnic, but after their Sunday school's en- jovable outing of last week, the mem- bers determined to have a picnic, everyone "got behind" the arrange- ments and in consequence the choir visited Lakeview Park.

Conant for industrial urea purposes comes before the city coum- cit on Monday evening for ratifica- tion by bylaw, it will be minus a number of restrictions regarding the type of properties to be erected there- on which were the cause of sormic oi jection when the matter was last is< cussed by the city council. The Times learned today that a new agreemoent: had been drawn up between tlie city of Oshawa and: Mr, Conant; to be presented at Monday's council meet- mg, and that this had been approved by the city solicitors as satisfactory, In the former agreement, it will be recalled, there were several re sirictions and reservations, - - "These were considerably modified at a council meeting on July 19, when Mr: Conant conferred with the council on the matter. There were still restric- tions, however, to the effect that no factory building costing less ihau $10,000 could be crected less than 200 leet froin the Simcoe street live, and that no obviously objectionable ine dustry should be established within 200 fcet of Simcoe street. Restrictions Removed In the new agreement which has been drawn up and presented to "he council, The Times has learned, both of these restrictions have been re moved, The only condition which is attached to the purchase of the pro- perty is that no building 'or structure other than fencing shall be placed nearer than 40 feet to Simcoe strcet, as widened to 80 feet, and that lao building shall be placed closer than 30 feet to Wentworth, This condition has been placed there, it is under- stood, on account of the fact that, at the time the Skinner Company purchased a block of property on the same area, it was on the understand- ing that the forty feet buildiug line should be maintained throughout the area, : At the last meeting of the cotincil the restrictions on the property cou- stituted the main objection of those who were opposed to the. purchase, and now that these have been,. re- moved, it is likely that the deal will be ratified without much opposition. Price Is $10,035 nr The original plan called for the purchase of about' twenty-three ac- res of land irom Mr, Conant, - but the council at the-same mecting de- cided to purchase" a smaller block.
