A somewhat lengthy program included numbers by the Festival Chorus; songs and part singing by groups and classes and selec- tiong by Oshawa's proud boast, the Little Symphony orchestra. On previBug occasions, it has been necessary to seek assist- ance with the orchestral accom- paniment, from outside the city, but that was n'of necessary this year.

When this amount was pro- vided in the main estimates some time ago, it was hoped that there would be a further appropriation in the supplementary estimates. These were brought before the house of commons yesterday af- ernoon, and, although represen- tations had been made through the city council and Chamber of Commerce, with the assistance of Dr. T. E. Kaiser, nothing was provided for Oshawa in the sup- plementary estimates for Osh- awa. These official bodies, how- ever, are thankful that Oshawa has not been overlooked entirely in this year of drastic govern- mental economy, According to information re- ceived from Ottawa by Dr. Kaiser the amoutt of $12,500 proviged for the Oshawa harbor will be used entirely for dredging of the harbor so as to enable vessels to dock at the extension of the har- bor wall which was constructed last year. Information now at hand is to the effect that the plans and specifications for this work have been in the course of preparation for some time, and it is expected that tenders for this dredging will be cadled in the very near future, with actual work being undertaken as soon as the contract is let. The latest information receiv- ed here as to the actual details of the work is contained in a let- ter which Dr. Kaiser received from the deputy-minister of pub- lie works. This letter, which is dated April 9, reads as follows: of cadet battalion." During the afternoon, following he luncheon given in their honour I. and Mrs, McLaughlin, Their llencies saw Co!

H. C. Scholfield, Minister without portfolio in the Provincial Cabinet, appeared at Hon. Mr. Justice Orde's Hydro inquiry yesterday to reveal him- self as that much sought-after individual. And, insisted Mr. Scholfield throughout his very good-natur- ed testimony, he did not know John Aird, Jr., had not received any part of the $50.000 Mada- waska or $125,000 Beauharnois payments and could say that Mr. Aird was 'never a collector for him or the party.
