Office of The Times in the Cowan Telephones--Office---887; Homse~~131. Bowmanville Representative--8, BISHOP SEAGER SPECIAL SPEAKER T0 COUNTY ASSN. Durham and Northumber- land Ministerial Associa- tion Meet in Cobourg That the Roman Catholic Church js mow faced with the alternative of changing so as to become a part of the reunited Christendom or perishing was the statement of Rt. Rev, C. A. Seager, D.D, D.C.L., bishop of Ontario and formerly provost of Trinity College, who addressed the Ministerial Associa- tion of Northumberland and Dur- ham at St Peter's parish house at Cobourg. Every evangelical com- munion in the united counties was represented. Dr. Seager's address dealt with the church union from the stand- point of the Anglican communion, based on his recent attendance at the Lambeth conventionwyptdluuu the Lambeth conference. Heo de- clared that the Anglican church is deeply, desperately and passion- ately committed (to Christian re- union, but regarded any federation of protestant churches to offset or to counterbalance the Roman Church as abhorrent. The motive of such a federation, Bishop Sea- ger declared ,would be wrong and its result would probably be disas- trous. Christianity itself might easily he destroyed between the Roman Church and Protestant fed- eration. That Canada is in a position to give leadership in the movement toward complete unity between the non-Anglican and Anglican churchs of the Empire, was earn- estly stated by the speaker. He pointed out that the Anglican Church's position is much better understood in Canada than in Eng- land itself. The Anglican Church. fit again affirmed. was working for the re-union of Christendom. It might take a thousand years but the church was prepared to plot its course accordingly. At the morning session Rev. An. drew McLauchlin, B.A., B.D., Graf- ton was elected president. Rev. T. 8S. Boyle, D.D.. D.C.L.. rector of St. Peter's Anglican church, Co- bourg, delivered the feature ad- Apare, Ta Aasla=ad that tha Tam.

Mell- veen, School Fair Prize Orators Heard By (By Whitby Staff Writer) Youthful! orators who were adjudg- ed prize winners at the oratorical contest held at the various rural school fairs in Ontario County this summer, came to Whitby on Thurs- day afternoon with high hopes and expectations to demonstrate their ab- ility before the County Council, and, incidentally, compete for the W. IE N. Sinclair cup and other prizes. This is an annual event, County legislators closed up shop for the afternoon to receive and listen to the thirteen clever boys and girls who dis- played oratorical ability of a very high order, and won the warm com- mendation of the judge, public school inspectors, members of the Council and ex-wardens of the county The Contestants Theorators were brought to Whitby by W. M. Croskery, the energetic agricultural representative of the De- partment of Agriculture in Ontario County, who was congratulated by several speakers on the interest he is taking in the boys and girls, partic- ularly in promoting School Fairs. Mr. Croskery presided as chajrman, Warden James Read and his col- leagues kept their seats around the Council Board during the speeches. The contestants heard were :--Mary Wilson, S.S. No. 2, Whitby; Mildred Gibson, S.S. No. 9, Pickering; Fran- ces Lamb, S§.S. No. 6, Brock; Lena Slack, S.S. No. 15, Pickering; Verna Bell, S.S. No. 11, Uxbridge; Pearl Turnbull, S.S. No. 3, Mara; Eileen Trull, SS. No. 1, East Whitby; Marian Kight, Port Perry; Arthur Smith, S.S. No. 4, Pickering; Earl Clark, S.S. No. 3, Scugog; Hugh Ar- nold, S.S. No. 10, Scott: Ivan Rennie, S.S. No. 2, Brock: Ross Rodman, Uxbridge public school. Two other eligible competitors who were unable to be present were Willie Leahy, S.S. County Council No. 9, Reach, and Kathleen Law- rence, S.S. No. 6, Mara, Dr. J. B. Reynolds, of Port Hope, former president of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, was judge for the contest, He has acted in a similar capacity on other occa- sions, and his decisions have always been regarded as being very fair. He awarded the first prizze to Arthur Smith, 8.5. No. 4, Pickering, whose subject was, "The League of tions". Second prize went to Eileen Trull, 8.8. ..0. 1, East Whitby, who spoke on "The School Fajr." Ivan Rennie, S.S. No. 2, Brock, speaking "The Lures of Farm Life, and Ross Rodman, of Uxbridge Public School, speaking on "A Hike to Mid- land," were declared equal as third prize winners. Wing Silver Cup The silver cup, donated by W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C,, of Oshawa, for the best orator, was presented to Arthur Smith by Deputy-reeve Chapman, of Pickering, chairman of the Commit- tee on Education in the County Council, Prizes were awarded to the other prize winners, while the County Council gave gifts to each boy and girl competing in the cane test, these being presented by the reeves of the municipalities in which the contestants reside, In making his award Dr. Reynolds announced that he had taken into consideration several points, the use of proper English, subject of the ad- dress and the manner in which it was delivered. It was with considerable difficulty, he stated, that he arrived at his decisions. Mary Wilson, of S.S. No. 2, Whit- bry, stressed the importance of the Armistice and what it means in re- storing peace to the world after the war. This little orator also made a nice reference to the part played by Na- on } Canada's soldiers in the war, and of Canada's debt of gratitude. Arthur Smith, of S.S, No, 4, Pick- ering, winner of the Sinclair Cup and first prize, spoke on "The League of Nations," and its efforts towards re- storing and preserving world peace. This youthful orator stressed that world peace would come not by war on display of arms, but by a Mia understanding between the nations. The promotion of this understanding and of international good-will were the great tasks of the League. Mildred Gibson, of S.S. No, 9, Pickering, told in a very original manner. of a. fishing trip which she enjoyed during the summer vacation. Amusingly shedescribed encounter- ing what she thought wes a large bull on her way home and her terror when she remembered that she had a red dress, only to discover, however, that the object of her fear was a red cow. Francis Lamb, a pretty Miss from Cannington, spoke on "The Junior Red Cross," telling in an interesting manner the work being done at home and abroad for the sick and needy, and what it teaches children, junior members, Hugh Arnold, S.S. No. 10, Scott, gave the county legislators an inter. esting account of a trip he took to the Canadian National Exhibition, He demonstrated that hc has wonderful powers of observation. Lena Slack, a Claremont girl, in an address on "Canada's Heritage", gave some historical facts about her country, touching on her national resources and wealth of field, forest, mine, lake and deep sea, all combin. ing to make up one of the greatest heritages in the world. Miss Slack has a very excellent memory for stat- istics, Iva Rennie of S.S. No. 2 Brock, has a love for the farm, and describ- ed many of its lures and advantages which he interestingly set up in. com- parison with those of urban dwellers, stressing that farm life today, with its modern methods and machinery, is much to be preferred to the con- flict and bright lights of the city. Simple language, advantageously us- ed, was a feature of this address. Verna Bell, of Uxbridge, spoke on the subject, "Canada's Birthday," give Mg an mteresting account of steps leading up to the Confederation, an tracing its great growth. Canada must not fail, Miss Bell stressed, to be worthy to her heritage. Ross Rodman, of Uxbridge, amus- ed his hearers with an account of an adventure to Honey harbor, miles from home, which he and a compan- ion, without their parents' knowledge last summer. Anxiety at home for the youthful prodigals resulted in po- lice intervention and a hurried trip home. Then came the moral of the story, "never do anything, boys and girls, without your parents' consent. Pear! Turnbull, of Mara, took for her subject tht table, "The Queer Little Baker Man," which teaches that children should be mindful of others, Eileen Trull of Oshawa, gave an in- teresting talk on the pleasures and value of the School Fair. Its educa- tional value, in many fields was stres- sed by this clever little girl, who lives on the farm. Marion Kight, of Port Perry, spoke on "success," which she defined as an honest achievement and a reward for hard work and perseverance, instead of luck as thought by many, Inspectors Spoke Brief addresses were given by Mr. Ferguson, public school inspector for North Ontario, and R. A. Hutchison, of South Ontario. Both congratulat- ed Mr. Croskery, county agricultural representative on the real practical work he is doing among the school children of the county through the agricultural department, Members of the County Council and others who were called upon by the warden to speak were Reeve Jackson, Whitby; Reeve Adam Dob- son, Cannington; ex-warden George Sweetman, Scugog; ex-warden G. M. Forsyth, of Claremont, J. M. Kenny, ex-reeve of Whitby, Warden James Read added his congratulations to the youthful orators and to Mr, Croskery on the work he was doing. WHITEVALE BRIDGE COST IS FINALLY FIXED AT $10,000 County to Pay 57 Per Cent. and Pickering Township 47 Per Cent. (By Whitby Staff Writer) The cost of the Whitevale bridge in the Township of Pickering, which has been twice before the courts, has been finally placed at ten thous- and dollars, following an agreement reached between the county and township officials. Of this amount, in accordance with an award made by His Honor Judge Ruddy recent- ly, Ontario County will pay 53 per cent and Pickering Township 47 per cent. Reeve Albert W. Jackson, of Whitby, on Thursday morning at the County Council presented a re- port of the Committee on Roads and Bridge containing a report of the settlement arrived at between the county and the township, and recommending its acceptance. Mr, Jackson stated that when the Com- mittee met the township officials, some adjustments and rebates were agreed upon, about two hundred dollars being cut off the estimated cost of the bridge by agreement. Mr. Jackson considered the settle- ment a very fair one and commend- ed the township officials for the very fair manner in which they had met the committee. The final cost of the bridge had been placed at $10,000. The Council adopted the report without amendment and without go- into into committee of the whole. Kill Bed Bugs The County Property Committee presented a report recommending the payment of several accounts, also -that a chemical company in Toronto be communicated with in order to rid the county gaol of the bed bug nuisance. The Committee submitted a re- port showing how Governor Lucas of the County Gaol had taken over a vacant lot owned by the County, had it cultivated, and raised a crop which had helped to feed the pris- oners in his charge at the gaol. Reeve Jackson, of Whitby, stated that Mr. Lucas was deserving of the Council's commendation for the «nnd work he had done, He movea a motion to this effect, also that the report be incorporated in th county minutes. / Report Denied Chairman Robert Somerville, of the County Old Age Pensions Board, gave denial to a report appearing fn a Toronto paper on Wednesday to the effect that pension cheques issued to a pensioner who had been dead for some months, were being cashed, and that an junvestigation was being made. Mr, Somerville produced the cheques in question which had not been cashed but giv- en to him by a relative of the de- ceased pensioner. One or two had got lost. He thought that the To- ronto paper in question should be asked to correct what was a false report. Reeve Jackson, Whitby, thought it better to "let sleeping dogs lie." Mr. Somerville had made an ex- planation which all were satisfied with and there was nothing to be gained by giving further publicity to the matter. He stated that the Council was originally of the opin- fon that the cheques had been cash- ed, a fact which gave foundation to the newspaper report. Later how- ever, it was found that the cheques had not been cashed but returned 'to the chairman of the Board CANNINGTON MAN HAS CLOSE SHAVE ATRY. CROSSING Chas. Whiting Thrown Through Roof of Car as It Strikes Moving Train Charles Whiting, Cannington gar- age proprietor, narrowly escaped death Wednesday night when his car crashed into a moving train on the Canadian National crossing at Gamebridge, Whiting was tosses through the roof of his car and landed unconscious in an adjacent fleld. The Cannington man was return~ ing from Gravenhurst from a deer hunt and had a trailer hitched to his car, carrying three deer. There was a dense fog and the train, which was moving slowly, was not noticed until the driver was with- in a few yards of it. He applied his brakes but the momentum of the trailer forced the car ahead into the train. The machine was wreck- ed and Whiting suffered a broken leg, scalp and body injuries. WM.
