'WHOOPEE' LIVES UP T0 ITS NAME ATNEW MARTIN Eddie Cantor Makes Great Hit in Unusually Good Comedy Film "Whoopee!" This staid old city of Oshawa likes "Whoopee." 'We do not mean to say that vener- able citizens delight to caper about the streets, that' dignified officers of the law play leapfrog on the four corners or that the city coun- cll devotes its sessions to singing the latest song hits. But Oshawa does like to see "Whoopee" as it {s made by Eddie Cantor and a company of beautiful girfs. This side.splitting, delightfully mirthful talking picture has' been playing for two nights at the New Martin before crowded houses. Di. rected by Florenze Ziegfield, fa- mous for his "Follies" and Samuel Goldwyn, and featuring the ver satile Eddie Contor it has been ac- claimed as one of the best pic- tures seen in Oshawa. So popular has it been that it is being shown again tonight and tomorrow, thus being given a run of four days in. stead of the uusal two. "Whoopee" plus a comedy cartoon and the Fox news reel makes a bill which would please the most critical moving picture audience. Coming Events 8 Cents per word each im- sertion.

J, Kirltey, John Street, HIGHWAY CLEAR OF ICE In comparison with the slippery condition of the city streets, the highway from Oshawa to Toronto is In splendid condition. It is clear ot snow and ice practically the whole way, this making driving very pleasant compared with what it is In the city.

From the comparative mild- ness of a snowstorm yesterday af- ternoon, the temperature dropped steadily until it registered two de- grees below zero at 2 a.m., sliding another dogree in the next few hours and standing at three below at eight o'clock this morning. WE ARE FORTUNATE Oshawa is forynate or unfor- tunate, according to one's point of view, in that there has been very little snow here so far this win- ter. In Hastings county, a few miles north of Trenton, there has been so much snow that the farm. ers are snowbound, and the mails cannot even get through, FINE VILLAGE RINK Columbus, thriving little village to the north of here, boasts among other things, a fine open-air rink. This rink is situated behind the township hall and is illuminated at night by electric lights. As there Is no system of water works in the village the rink cannot be flooded by means of a hose, but a novel system has becn devised which in. sures good results. A barrel, the bottom of which is punctured with small holes, is placed upon a small wooden sleigh. The barrel is then filled with water and as the sleigh is drawn along the ice the water leaks out in an even flow, CONDITION UNCHANGED The condition' of Han. William Smith, who 1s seriously ill at his home in Columbus, has shown 1it- tle sign of improvement. During his long career of public servico, Hon. Mr. Smith made a host of friends who are now sincerely anx. fous for his speedy recovery, FIRST ANNIVERSARY As is intimated in a full page announcement appearing today, the Superior Stores of the city are this week celebrating thelr first anni- versary, it being just a year ago since they were organized into a group through the efforts of Rus- sell Storks, manager of the Osh- awa Wholesale, Limited. The an- niversary is being celebrated by a special sale in which all the Sup- erior Stores are co-operating, and attention is directed to the an- nouncgment of the many bargains being offered. ANNUAL MEETING OF ST. ANDREW'S UNITED CHURCH (Continued from page 1) pointed out that interest had been paid on the mortgage and that the principle had been further reduced by $1,500. He regretted that during the year the board of managers had lost an able member in the death of the late Mr. Chas. Larmer. Sunday School Active The Sunday School had been very active during 1930 and enjoyed a splendid attendance wccording to the annual * statement made by J. C. Young, superintendent. He praised the faithful service which is being rendered from Sunday to Sunday by teachers and officers of the school and hoped that members of the con- gregation would occasionally show appreciation and interest by attend- ing the sheclal, sessions. The Ladies' Aid has been as usual a great bulwark to the church and a comprehenive report presented by Mrs. Walker showed the great am- ount of work which it accomplished during the past year. The statement of Mrs. Swail, treasurer of the La- dies' Aid, indicated that it had rais- ed $1,480.82 in 1930. Due to the unavoidable absence of Mrs. S. Storie, the report of the Wo- men's Missionary Society was read by Mrs. J. C. Young who pointed out that the society had enjoyed a very successful year and had raised for the cause¢ of missions $941.20, thus exceeding its allocation. The Jesse Panton Ladies' Auxiliary has also made favorable progress, the report of Mrs. Rutledge revealed. The treasurer's statement, presented by Mrs. Pipher showed that $120.15 had been raised, Reports were also received from the Olive Branch Mission Band, the Young People's Society, the C.G.LT. groups and other organized classes. Rev. F. J.
