The Fair opened yesterday noon and has already been attended by large numbers. It will be continu- ed until tonight. A large number of entrjes have | been received by the Association and exhibits are being shown by well known poultry breeders and fanciers in Ontario, Durham and York counties. Some splendid birds are on display and the judges are experiencing difficulty in se- loeting first, second and third prize winners. The crowing of the roosters, the clucking of the hens and the loud quacking of the ducks would indicate that a whole poultry farm had been transplant. ed into the heart of the city. Like Ichabod Crane, Washington Irv. ing's unusual character in the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" who could not look upon fowl in the barnyard without imagining It trussed up, stuffed with dressing and floating in gravy on a big platter, one cannot help but think of the potential delicious Christmas dinners represented by the poultry at the fair, The pet stock includes a large number of guinca pigs, or cavies, some of them of an unusual breed, resembling tiny poodle dogs. Chii- dren are delighted by the appear- ance of the little animals. Several pens of rab"its and hares are al- s0 on display. The pigeon section is very at- tractive this year and some grace- ful birds are cooing happily in their pens. Oshawa has a num- ber of pigeon lovers and they are not loath to place on display the finer representatives of their flocks. Patrons of the winter fair in- clude R. 8. McLaughlin, G. W. Mc- Laughlin 'and R. R. McLaughlin. Among the officers and directors of the Association who are working hard to make this year's show an outstanding success are honorary president, R. A. Wadge. L.

Quality Exhibits DESTITUTE SINGLE MEN GIVEN TOBACCO, More concrete evidence is at hand .that the spirit of kindly charity is still abroad in Oshawa. It has just been brought to the at- tention of The Times that the members of the plant protection 'epartment of General Motors of 'anada, thoughtful of the plight of the destitute single men of the city who are being given lodgings in the shelter on King street west, raised a subscription among them. selves to purchase for them a gen- erous quantity of pipe and cigar- atte tobacco. The tobacco is being delivered to the shelter by The Times and as the destitute bachelors get com- fort and satisfaction out of the "smokes" they will undoubtedly think of the generous spirit which sponsored this generous act. The plant protection department in- cluded the day police and night watchmen of General Motors. STOCK ISSUE FOR ERECTING PLANTS HERE I5 APPROVED City Cool | Has Formally Endorsed Industrial Found- ations Efforts Appreciation of the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to bring new industries to Oshawa has been voiced by the Oshawa city council, which has also gone on record as endorsing the stock issue of the Oshawa Indus- trial Foundation Limited for the purpose of financing the construction of new factories here, A resolution which was passed at the last meeting of the council, re- quests citizens of Oshawa to receive kindly the stock issue, in the belief that the erection of new factories is the basis of future prosperity in Oshawa. . The issue is for the purpose of erecting a plant for the Coulter Manufacturing Co., which is desir- ous of locating In Oshawa and will employ over 100 men at the start, and for the building of a factory for a firm whose identity has not yet been announced. The city council's resolution read: "That the members of the city council appreciate the efforts being put forth by the Chamber of Com: merce and the Industrial Foundation to erect factory buildings in this city for the purpose of increasing payrolls whieh, in- our opinion, are the basis of prosperity, and: "Furthermore that we request all the citizens of Oshawa to co-operate in this activity by supporting these organizations in their efforts to se- cure new industries and to receive in a kindly spirit the issue of se- curities about to be offered to fur- nish funds for this purpose."

Geordie Love, accused of transporting the stolen animal and Herbert Tait, alleged to have re- ceived stolen goods, faked to ap- pear in Port Perry police court. Bench warrants for the arrest of the three men were: issued by the magistrate and the warrants are being executed by Inspector Charles Gurnett, of the Criminal Investigation Dept., of Toronto; Provincial Constable Thos. Mit. chell, of Oshawa, an* County Constable Brown, of Drooklin. The accusation against the three men, who are farmers in the Port Perry district has excited a great deal of interest throughout this section of the county and a crowd. ed, expectant court room awaited the trial yesterday afternoon. The trial had previously been adjourn- ed for two weeks upon the request of Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon and it was scheduled to start at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Magistrate was ready, the Crown Attorney was present and witness were in their places but there was no sign of the défend- ants or of their counsel, Alex Guro. fsky. of Toronto. The court grew impatient and al- though the magistrate said that he had a right to estreat bail then and there he announced that he would wait until six o'clock be- fore taking action. Time dragged on but still there was no sign of the defense lawyer or of the acccused men. Promptly at six o'clock Magls- trate Purdy announced that the ball for all three would be estreated and he issued bench warrants for the arrest of Oswald Love, Geordie Love and Herbert Tait. The first named was on bail of $10,000, while Geordie Love had been grant. ed ball of $3,000. 'Tait's bail is sald to have been $5,000. Among those present at the court yesterday was A, W. 8. Greer, of Oshawa, who as Coun- sel for Clifford Love, previously charged with theft of cattle, had advised him to plead guilty. Love who was to have been a witness at yesterday's trial is now under re- mand and has not yet received his sentence. Beside the accused men, the names of Charles Love, father ot Oswald Love and Maurice Tait, appear on the bail bonds. The failure of the three men to appear in court yesterday was the re- sult of a misunderstanding, Alex. | Guroft'sky, their him over the telephone last night, | ing. Gurofsky, he said, told him that he been set for yesterday. HONOR DEPARTING TIMES EMPLOYEE B. H.
