ilding Permits in y } Kens Kiddies Karnival Plans Are Now Announced; Big Event to be on Aug. 19 Gala Time is Promised for the Kiddies of the City at Annual Picnic and Carn- ival Given by the Kins- men's Club COUPONS APPEARING IN THE DAILY TIMES Childre n of the City Are In- vited to Exchange Coup- ons for Tickets Entitling Them to Privileges of * Carnival Boys and girls of Oshawa be- tween the ages of seven and eleven are asked to be on the lookout for the coupons appearing in The Times this week, which will enable them to attend the Kinsmen's Kiddies Karnival on Monday, August 19. A gala time is promised for all the kiddies that attend the Karni- val, which is being looked forward to as one of the oustanding events of the year for the little folk. Sports and games especially suited to children of these years have been arranged, and entertainment will be provided from the moment they arrive at Lakeview Park, at two o'clock in the afternoon, until six o'clock, when they will be re- turned to Rotary Park. Refresh- ents, including hot dogs, ice cream, milk and candies, will be sérved at the lake. 'Every precaution is being taken by the Kinsmen to prevent mishaps and it is believed that, as was the vase last year, the Karnivar will not be marred by any accident. Parents and guardians are request- ed to bring the kiddies of the nor- thern and main parts of the city to Rotary Park between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, where Kinsman Jack Hoover and his as. sistants will take charge of the children until they are taken to Lakeview Park at two o'clock. At the lake, Kinsman Frank Evans will be on hand at the same time to receive children living in the southern sections of the city, ror which Lakeview Park would be more convenient than Rotary Park. The coupons which will appear in The Times this week should be clipped, signed by the parent or guardian, and taken to the Y.M.C, E. where they will be exchanged for tickets which will make the eligible children the Karnival.

L J FIVE MEN FINED FOR GAMBLING ON THE LORD'S DAY Foreign Residents Arrested in Raid on Bloor Street 'House Wm. Melnychuk, George Salatak, John Gatz, Wasel Mashtaler Nick Krawchuk, all residents of the city's foreign section, were brought to the police station Sunday night on a charge of gambling on the Lord's Day as the result of a raid staged on a Bloor street house by Detective Sergeant H. Flintoff and Constables McCammond and Terry. The men all pleaded guilty and were released from custody after paying a fine of $5 and costs apiece. When the police visited the house, owned by John Gatz at 132 Bloor street east, they found that the outer door leading into the kitchen was locked. In order that the gamblers might not receive warning of their presence they forced the outer door open before knocking at the inner door. This was carefully unlocked by Mrs. Gatz but before she had time to give any signal the constables had forced their way into the kitchen where they surprised five men seated around a table. A deck of cards, and a pile of coins indicated that a glambl- ing game had been in progress. The players were completely taken aback but one of their number man- aged to escape from the building. After the others had been placed un- der arrest the police gave chase and traced him to his own home where he was found in hiding. The whole party was then conveyed to the po- lice station. All have paid their fines and have since been released. FERTILE GARDENS IN BROCK TOWNSHIP Cannington District Is Fea- tured in Globe's South- east Corner The Cannington district makes a br for fame in the "southeast cor- ner" of the Toronto Globe this morning, with a letter sent in by D. S. Scott, of the Manse, of that vil- lage. His letter, #elling of some horticultural wonders of the district, reads as follows: "I do not recall ever seeing any- thing from Cannington or Brock Township in the "Southeast Corner." It cannot be, however, that this dis- trict is anything behind other On- tario communities in vegetable wonders. A few days ago there ap- peared the story of a gladiolus 39 inches high and showing 18 flowers. In the manse garden at the present moment two gladioli are growing, one 4914 inches high and showing 22 flowers. The bulb bears two shoots. The onc bearing the above stalk has two other good-sized flower stalks. The other plant is 51 in- ches high, but the flower stalk bears only 17 flowers. In the same garden last vear a Toronto visitor amused himself .by counting the tomatoes in one bunch on a vine that had been staked up. He counted 38. After the first ripe tomatoes were picked the bunch was cut and placed in a shop window, when it had 23 fair-sized ripe tomatoes on it at one time. Yes! Brock Township has good soil, but the people are so used to its pro- ductivity that they never think of boasting. Next on gladioli and tomatoes! ? "R, S. Scott, "The Manse" Cannington."

FATHER AND SON IN COURT FACING 'LIQUOR CHARGED JOHN RICALLA CAME AS WITNESS AND BE- CAME ACCUSED Charges Are Result of Raid By Police on Ricalla Home An adjournment at the request of the Crown was made until August 13 when Joe Ricalla appeared in police court this morning charged with having liquor other than that purchased on his individual permit. A charge of having liquor in a place other than a private dwelling brought against John Ricalla, father of Joseph, was also adjourned until the same date. When Ricalla appeared before Ma- gistrate Hind in answer to the charge he entered a plea of not guilty, "I have a witness here who can prove that the beer had been pur- chased on a permit and given to me," Ricalla told the court. "Who is your witness?" asked His Worship while he could not refrain from smiling at the defendants frank disclosure of an important piece of information. "It must be his father," ted Chief of Police Friend. "Yes," defendant admitted. Magistrate Hind explained that there was also a charge against John Ricalla and called him to the witness box. » The charge was read to Ricalla senior and translated into Ukranian by William Igel, court interpreter. Words followed fast in foreign tongue and the interpreter stated to the court that Ricalla was sur- prised as he had come as a witness and not as a defendant. "He can have his case adjourned if he wishes," the bench advised. Ricalla assented and the charge against him will be heard on August 13th. The police searched the Ricalla home several days ago and found a barrel and a half of beer which had been purchased directly from a brewery. On a previous occasion when con- stables visited the place they could find no beer. The home is said to be owned by Mrs. Ricalla while Joe Ricalla was the possessor of the li- quor, LOCAL KINANIANS SENDING SIXTEEN BOYS ON OUTING Lads commen- Being Given Two Week's Holiday at Goldfish Camp Sixteen underprivileged boysof the city arc being given a two weeks' oul- ing at Goldfish Y.M.C.A. camp, on Goldfish Island in Toronto Bay, it was reported to the Kiwanis Club at its noon luncheon today.

(30a) Lakeview Park Was Busy Centre of Attraction on Oshawa's Civic Holiday As was to be expected, Lakeview Park was the scene of many gay parties yesterday, when August Bank Holiday was celebrated in fitting fashion. The weather could not have been much better, as the heat of the sun was in some mea- sure relieved by a strong, fresh wind, Different families were to be observed sitting. at the many tables in the park, having a fine time. Refreshments might be ob- tained from numerous hooths, and it is hardly necessary to say that they did a brisk business. Grown- ups and children enjoyed the pleas- ures of the merr-go-round and fer- ris wheel, the park amusements gave pleasure to many kiddies, and the aquatic facilities pleasea those who indulge in water sports. One of the bigger picnics which commanded notice was that of the Victoria Park Christian Church Choir. Victoria Park Choir Picnic Danforth busses containing their quota of picnickers left the church at 8 o'clock in the morning. On arrival at Lakeview Park, Oshawa, the visitors decided to spend the morning in their own way, and while those fond of athletic pur- suits devoted their time to playing ball, others spent the time in mak- ing a general tour of exploration. At twelve o'clock, dinner was served at those tables which had been specially reserved for the choir, in the park, While eacn of the picnickers supplied the bulk ot their own food, tea, milk, and ice cream was provided and much ap- preciated. n the afternoon a la- dies' fine innings softhall game took place, the men having played in the morning. - After this game, the sports were held. A lengthy program had been arranged for, and it was perfectly successful. A feature of the picnic was the community singing which was held. Songs with appropriate words were sung to the tunes of "Tipper- ary," and "There's a Long, Long Trail Awinding." Supper was partaken of in the park from five o'clock to six-thirty and was as successful as the rest of the day's program. A pleasant day was spent which will be long re- memLered by the members or the choir. t was with intense reluct- with theb usses at 8 o'clock in the evening, The committee in charge of affairs was: James Cooper, chairman; H. Stevenson, Fred Halse, Geo. Sleed, Geo. Wren, John Greaves and Misses Annie Halse, Winnie Gould, Grace Harper and Mrs. H. Stevenson, Miss Kay Headley was the presi- dent of the refreshment committee. R.A.0.B. PICNIC A splendid day was enjoyed by the members of the Royal Antide- luvian Order of Buffalos yesterday when their annual pienic was held in Lakeview Park, Oshawa. Trucks transported the visitors from Tor- onto to Oshawa, starting at ten o'~ clock in the morning and arriving a short time after eleven, A Ball games were played and a jolly time was enjoyed by every- one. Tea was served in the park in the early evening and ice cream provided. The visitors greatly ad- said that a larger picnic of two hundred members of the society would visit the park the second Sunday in August. Originally it had been intended to go to Bronte, but the visitors were so much struck, as many have been before them, by the beauty and utility of Lakeview Park, that they had de- cided to change from the original picnic ground to the delightful one in Oshawa. The R.A.0.B. move- ment is spreading so rapidl now, the 21st anniversary of inaugura- tion being on Sept. 14 of this year, that ab ranch may be established in Oshawa. At seven o'clock the picnickers prepared to return homewards. In charge of the picnic was Mr. Pryor, and the committee in charge of af- fairs was: Messrs. Pryor, Stacey and Pye. THIEVES BUSY AT PORT PERRY Chinese Restaurant-keeper Was Robbed of $360 (By Staff Reporter) Port Perry, Aug. 6.--About one- thirty this morning thieves broke into the rooms of Fong Foy, local restaurant keeper and stole $300 in cash. The rooms are situated above the restaurant and entrance was made at the back of the build- ing by means of a ladder which workmen, had left at the back of the Royal Bank after making re- pairs tc that building. The robbery is thought to have taken place during the time the street dance, In connection with the celebration held yesterday, was in progress, and while Foy was busy looking after the many pat- rons in his place of business. The money stolen represented Foy's savings and the loss will mean a heavy blow to the China- man. Chief of Police Nesbitt is inves- tigating the case. CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS| BICYCLE FOUND A bicycle which was found on Simcoe street north, Sunday night, has been taken to the police sta- tion, The owner may have the same by identifying it. WELL BEHAVED Oshawa citizens were well behaved over the hcliday if the police records are to be taken as an index of the activitics of local people. There were no cases of drunkenness "and offenses of any kind were rare. ACCIDENT REPORTED David Shaw, of 229 Gliddon Ave., Toronto, driving car license No. 216-312, reported to the police yesterday that a truck license No. C5-911 bumped into the rear of his car on King street east causing him to crash against another car. Both front and rear fenders ot Shaw's car were damaged, READY TO SERVE WHITBY The fire brigade was prepared to serve Whitby yesterday if 'the need should have arisen. The Whitby de- partment was in Scarboro for the day where it participated in a tournament of volunteer fire companies. The neighboring town was therefore with- out the protection of its own fire- fighters but arrangements had been made whereby the local brigade would respond to any call from Whitby, BRITISH MAILS Mails for Great Britain and Europe close at the Oshawa Post Office at the following hours during the next week: For S.S.

The front right fender of Lyon's car was damaged while the rear left fen- der of the Toronto machine was bent. The accident has been reported to the police. ANNIS FAMILY REUNION An interesting event which is be- ing held at Lakeview Park this af- ternoon is the Annis family reunion. It is expected that about 300 mem- bers of this old-established family will gather at the park for the occa- sion, these being the descendants of Jeremiah Annis, an old pioneer set- tler. The old Annis inn was for dozens of years the outstanding hos- telry of Scarboro township, and it was here that Washington church had its beginnings 127 years ago. The family is found scattered through- out the various townships east of Toronto, CAR HIT BY TRUCK While proceeding west on King street at 9 o'clock this morning, a Whippet coach, driven by Miss N. Robson, 5 Bond street west, Osh- awa, was struck amidship larger truck towing a trailer. The accident occurred at King and On- tario 'streets, the truck owned by Loblaw Groceterias and .driven by T. Dallas, of Toronto, was crossing King street, coming off Celina in order to go north on Ontario. The smaller car was the only one dam- aged, and it to only a small extent, the running board front and rear left fenders receiving the brunt of the impact. 1922 Chevrolet Sedan ~ Still Performing Well Fred Dobney of this city has re- turned from a motor trip and the most interesting thing he saw on the trip was a Chevrolet car which attracted his attention at the Ottawa Reliance Tourist Camp. This car was a 1922 model sedan, bought, ac- cording to its owner, an Ottawa man, in February, 1922. This car, said Mr. Dobney, has run 81,000 miles, and had only had 'one new set' of pistons in that time. 1t travels 31 miles to the gallon, and will idle down to four miles an hour, The paint on the car, too, is the original paint which was on it when it came out of the factory seven and a half years ago. Mr. Dobney was so in- terested in the car that he had a ride in it, and it was during this ride that it idled down to four miles an hour without changing gears. The car is now equipped with radio equipment, and is in constant use. This record, Mr. Dobney thinks, is a tribute to the class of workmanship in this Chevrolet model, 'TRAGEDY ON by a| WEEK HAS PASSED WITHOUT SIGN OF MISSING BODIES LAKE OCCURRED WEEK AGO TONIGHT Consistent Efforts to Trace Bodies Are Futile So Far A week has elapsed without bring- ing any trace of the bodies of Mrs, Robert Beckwith, 7 Wililam street east, and Walker Stapeley, 18 Queen street, thought to have been drown- ed in Lake Ontario when they went boating off Lakeview Park beach in company with Mrs, Beckwith's mother, Mrs. Edwin Gomme and Mrs, Beckwith's infant child, A week ago last night the party was observed entering a rowboat at Barnhart's dock and since that time nonc has been seen alive. The bod- jes of Mrs, Gomme and the little baby were recovered 'last Tuesday morning while the upturned skiff was also found. Consistent efforts have been made during the past few days to find some clue which might afford a glimpse as to the manner in which Mrs. Beckwith and Stapeley came to their deaths. Their bodies arc thought to be at the bottom of the lake but dragging operations are practically useless when it is con- sidered that no one actually knows the spot where the rowboat may have upset, plunginng its occupants to a watery grave. : Yesterday the wind blew strong from the northwest and those who understand conditions at the lake fear that this may cause the bodies to drift away from shore, On Friday Mrs. Gomme and baby Beckwith were laid to rest in the Union Cemetery. Coroner Dr, Rundle is awaiting further developments. in the case before ordering an inquest, GENERAL MOTORS BALL TEAM WON TWO AT KINGSTON Local Seniors | Took Both Ends of Holiday Double- Header In their friendly game with the Kingston seniors the General Mot- ors seniors took both the morning and afternoon fixtures the first game by the score of 6 to 3 and the second game 7 to 3. Good pitching by Ogden and Wills, combined with some heavy and time- ly hitting by their team-mates, help- ing the General Motors to double the score in the first, Oshawa scored a run on a walk, a wild. pitch and a perfect bunt by Sutton in the fourth, and in the fifth, with one on, Young cracked out a long home run. Three more runs were scored in the sixth on a single by R. Fair. Gray's double and a three-bagger by McCallum. Kingston tallied two runs in the fourth when M. Gibson walked and S. Gibson singled, and both counted on Ada's sfash to right field. The last Kingston run came in the eighth when with one out Ada singled and came home on Lawlor's double. The score: In the afternoon game the locals still had the home team shaded and with Osborne pitching and Quinn catching for the first time since his injury easily held the Kingston nine to win a real game. The fielding was snappy on both teams with the locals showing superiority by a small margin, The hitting high lights were furnished by Quinn who got a triple and a double and Rowden who slap- ped out a homer and a two base hit. Jamieson and Kekoe were the Kingston battery.

WAS VERY QUIETLY SPENT IN CITY Heavy Traffic on Highway Was the Outstanding Feature A quiet civic holiday was spent by the citizens of this city. Many of them took advantage of the long week end to visit other places or to receive visitors in the city, while others spent a quiet holiday at home, Lakeview Park was the mecca for a large number of people, althougn the coolness of the day prevented many from enjoying a plunge in the lake. Several picnic parties, both local and from other munici- palities enjoyed a visit at Oshawa's fine outing grounds, and several tourists © were noticed on the grounds during the day. Many At Game The senior lacrosse game at Al- exandra Park attracted a rary good crowd yesterday afternoon, and the fans enjoyed a game that although the locals lost the encounter. This was the only major sporting atraction of the day here. Highways Busy The highways presented a busy scene, and King street bore a steady stream of trafic passing through this city from both direec- tions. Only one or two accidents of a very minor nature were re- ported in this vicinity, The police department received only a few calls, none of them being serious, and the fire department answered only one call during the day, it be- ing a chimney fire, $400 MORE NEEDED FOR WORK AT THE RED GROSS COTTAGE Appeal to Citizens for Financial Support. Is Renewed The Oshawa Red Cross Society is in urgent need of contributions am- ounting to about $400 in order to con- tinue its work of caring for needy children at the Red Cross Cottage on the lake for this summer. So far, there has been a good response to the appeal in behalf of this excellent work, which is winning back to health and strength scores of sick and con- valescent children of the city, but the need is far beyond the financial support which has been forthcoming so far, and with the season well ad- vanced, the need is becoming greater than ever, It is estimated that it will cost, in cash, nearly $1,000, and so far the contributions received have amounted to $540.50, This leaves a balance of well over $400 which the generous-hearted citizens of Oshawa are asked to provide for the carying on of a work which has already been of great value to the community, Con- tributions can be left at the office of The Times, or sent dirder to Mrs, H.

Sir: In a recent issue you re- ported a news-item from Detroit referring to the arrest of a family named Burgess, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, charged with slaying Mrs. Etta Fairchild, The report in- cluded the statement that "both families were Christian Scientists." This being a mistake, the following correction is submitted. The Burgess family are not and never were Christian Scientists.. 1 am informed that Mrs, Burgess at one time had a slight interest in Christian Science, and attended services occasionally, until about a year ago, when, according to in- formation furnished by news- papers, she became devoted to a cult sometimes referred to as "Higher Thought". Mr. Burgess' attitude toward Christian Science was apparently antagonistic; and $540.00 Oshawa 'the son and daughter do not ap- pear to have been ° interested in Christian Science at any itme. I regret referring to this unfor- tunate incident, but following many inquiries, based on the item as re- ported, I feel that this brief cor- rection is in order. ARTHUR E.
