" Little Likelihood Of Water Shortage For Oshawa Area THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 9--No. 156 OSHAWA-WHITBY, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1950 PAGE THREE Pray For Continued World Peace "1 feel that we are all here to- night because we know the need of prayer in this crisis," said Rev. ¥. J. Whiteley, minister of Centre Street United Church to a congre- gation in a special prayer meeting in the First Baptist Church last night. "It is strange and somehow un= fortunate that during a crisis we feel. the need for prayer much stronger than usually," he said. "But," he said, "there is #& great | need for prayer at all times." The | crisis Mr. Whiteley was referring to | is the war raging at present in Korea between the democratic | south and the communistic north. | He said prayer is the expression of | a heartfelt need. ; | "When we pray tonight I sin-| cerely hope we will pray as a nation | as well as an individual. We must | pray to our Father as little chil- | dren and we should always make | them personal" he said. Mr. | Whiteley continued saying in pray- ers we should be patient and per- sistent, but not hasty. "Let us be penitent and humble: before the | Lord. Remember we are not alone in our prayers and that Christ pro- mised us and admonished us to pray to Him." : ; The main portion of last-night's special prayer meeting was cou- ducted by. Rev. R. F. Willson, pastor of the First Baptist Church. The opening hymn, "Come We That Love The Lord" was taken from hymns of peace and joy. Two other hymns were "O Worship The King' and "Take It To The Lord Tu Prayer." : Special prayers of adoration to the Lord and confessions as weil as for peace in the world were heard last night during four special prayer sessions. Several persons kneeling in prayer arose and said their prayers aloud with the theme of most being peace In Korea. One or two prayel for the safety of the missionaries in Korea, while others prayed for blessing and guidance for the leaders of the nations. The majority of those who 'arose gave thanks for "This wonderful free country of Can- ada" and the right to gather and worship "as we were now doing.' Friendship Is Keynote Scout Rally The spirit of international friend- ship rang out at Philadelphia earlicr this week when some 200 Canadian Boy Scouts, including Troopleader Robert G. Logan and Scoutmaster Donald A. Houlden, both of the 8th Oshawa Sea Scout Group, entered a huge outdoor arena to the cheers and applause of nearly 75,000 American Scouts and visitors. The Canadian contingent was led by the Nova Scotian Scout Kiltie Band The Canadian Scouts are attending a jamboree at Valley Forge, near Philadelphia. Nearly 47,000 Scouts from many nations are attending. While in the United States, the Canadian contingent, led by Major Oglesby, wound around the same roads that General George Wash- ington led 'his fever-ridden contin- ental army nearly 200 years ago. "Welcome Canada! Welcome Neighbors!" echoed over the wide valley as the green shirted Cana- dian delegation, complete with maple leafs on their uniforms, sat in with fellow scouts from West Vir- ginia and New York. The Canadian Scout areas, com- prising the major international area, is identified by a large gate with provincial emblems down each side. Nearby an exceptionally long Canadian ensign flaunts the breezes on the side or a hill. On Tuesday Cuban scouts enter- tained 'the Canadians. The Phila- delphia Kiwanis Club treated the Oanadians by sending a large ship- ment of watermelon to the area. Rev. Robert Rolls, and officials of Canadian headquarters, offered a prayer for the future of Canada on Dominion Day, July 1. . FARM LABOR NEEDED H. L. Fair, Ontario County Agri- cultural Representative, reports there is a strong demand for farm labor. Haying in the county is gen- eral now with the crop below aver- age in yield. Fall wheat looks prom- ising and corn is making slow pro- gress. There is extreme danger in some turnip fields from snout beetles and turnip flies. Pastures in the county are reported as only average. DISPUTE CLOSED Stockholm, July 6--(AP)--Sweden formerly closed Wednesday the series of bitter exchanges with Israel in which she charged mis- handling of the investigation invo the slaying of Count Folke Bernadotte, United Mations mediator, during the Palestine War. Closing of the dispute was viewed here as possibly paving the way for Sweden to offer to Israel the full recognition she ha: witheld pending settlement of the Bernadotte case. | Coming Events | CHURCH CARNIVAL, AT ST.

In fact Harry Ross, local art enthusiast, ended up financially "in the hole" in his attempt to boost the fund. The show was free.
