Follow- ing this he saw service in England for several years and JAMES MERRITT in 1910 was transferred to Canada. His appointments on arrival in Canada were in connection with the Field Work of the Organization and comprised such Corps as Ed- monton, Victoria, Calgary and Van- couver.

At the beginning of the Second World War he took control of the Men's Sccial Service activities for the Salvation Army in Canada and held that position till the cessation of hostilities. The Colonel now has charge of all Salvation Army pro- perty in Canada, Newfoundland and Bermuda, being the kead of the Property Department with headquarters in Toronto.

Colonel Merritt will accompany the Peterborough Temple Band of The Salvation Army, to Oshawa this coming week-end. The opening engagement being at 8 p.m. in the Citadel, corner of Oak and Simcoe Large Crowd Thrills To Fine Show "Step up everybody and see the greatest show on earth! Come one, come all, and see for yourself the death defying leap into a blazing tank of water. Thrill to a spine tingling exhibition of lion taming as Prince Ki-Gor puts four vicious lions through their paces." And so it went last night at the grandstand show when over a thousand of Oshawa's kids, from seven to seventy, crowded into Alexandra Park in the biggest and best South Agricultural Society fair ever held. The grandstand show lasted al- most two hours and held the at- tention of all the spectators every moment. Master of Ceremonies Rex Slocombe entertained the crowds with an engaging line of patter as well as an exhibition of magic tricks. He introduced the first act, Johnny Laxton, slack wire specialist, Laxton thrilled the spectators with amazing feats of balance and co-ordination. While balanced on a step-ladder, which in turn was balanced on a slack wire, Laxton did a juggling act. The Vanity Maids, five girls of rhythm, entertained next with a musical dance routine and were followed by comic musicians Bob and Fred Carr. The two comics wowed the crowd by playing a Virginia reel while bouncing a large rubber bail on their heads. They followed this bit of nonsense by balancing on their heads while they played a short tune on the violin and guitar. Horse lovers were thrilled espe- cially by the next act which feat- ured "Agab, the genuine Arabian horse." "Agab" could do everything but talk and proved it by march- ing in time to music as trainer Miss Line Valty put the horse through its paces. One of the big features of the evening, the lion act, ,came next on the show. Using only a whip and without the extra safety of a chair and gun, Prince Ki-Gor thrilled the audience as he made four lions jump from stand to stand and through large hoops. The an- imals were well trained and obey- ed every command of Prince - Ki- Gor, but occasionally they made passes at him which he was care- ful to avoid. - Prince Ki-Gor con- cluded the act, amidst deafening applause, as he made one of the lions put his head down on his paws and "say a prayer." The final act, the high dive jump into a flaming tank of water, had crowds sitting on the edge of their seats and drums rolled and Captain Auriel Thomas prepared for the death defying leap. A hush settled over the audience as an assistant lit a patch of gasoline and Thomas poised on the edge of the board. Then, in a flash he was off the edge and into the tank in a splash of water. He was roundly applauded by the audience ang, the crowds' léft the stadium to 'join hundreds of people in tae mid- Streets way and sideshows. the. finale completed, | 3; s F.W.
