Our fire loss experi-! ence for "1950 was 15.4 cents per $100. of insurance and compared favorably with our sister groups. There are eight such groups in On- tario. "This however, should only serve as an incentive to us to educate the public to the frightful loss of life and property due to sheer neglect and carelessness. We must, there- fore, strive and endeavor to keep abreast of the many problems and changes in farming today, in order to provide our policyholders with the best insurance coverage possible."

H. Page, of Toron- to, who, it was alleged, had kept 63 dogs in a barn near Pickering without giving "them proper food, water, and attention. Alter hear- ing argument for well over two hours, Magistrate Frank S., Ebbs reserved judgment. he R. W. Macaulay, counsel for the accused, conterided that there was no evidence whatsoever to support the charge which was laid at the instigation of the Toronto Humane Society. He suggested that the charge was laid after newspaper publicity had excited scores of let- ters. This was sharply repudiated by Fraser Grant, President of the Society, and honorary counsel. Magistrate Ebbs agreed that- there should be no reflection cast upon the organization and Mr. Macaulay agreed that none was intended. He maintained that Mrs. Page was a dog breeder of international reputation and 13 years' experience and that at no time had she ever been accused of . maltreatment of animals. She was, in fact, a well known lover of dogs. Had there been other quarters available she would have made use of them but In any event, there was no evidence Nitat sever that the animals had no n treated ed in a humane "The Crown must prove that pain was inflicted and that it was done so cruelly and with intent. It must prove that there was actual suffer- ing, wilfully caused, without reason on the third day of May," Mr. Macaulay said. "Failure to prove any one of these things means that there is no reason for conviction." The evidence of "experts" who said that it was proper to keep dogs in shipping crates and that it was not customary to leave food and water in their cages and that it was quite possible that they got enough exercise in the barn was all irrelevant, maintained Fras er Grant. Even at that no one of them suggested that it was proper to keep dogs in such. crates for longer than a short period of time and then only while they were in transit or during an emergency. It had been shown, said Mr. Grant, that one-third of the ani- mals were kept in shipping boxes and the others in box stalls. The dogs, he maintained, were in poor condition not because of a wilfully cruel act on the part of Mrs. Page but through her neglect to ade- quately care for them. Connaught Park To Try Summer Round Dancing Connaught Park Neighbourhood Association are going to carry on| summer dances at the Oshawa Rec- | reation Centre, announced Ralph | > Large Audience Thoroughly Enjoy Varied Program The summer band concert season had a. gala 'opening last night at the McLaughlin Bandshell in Memorial Park, with an exceptionally large crowd in attendance and the Oshawa Civic and Reigmental Band giving of its best in a sparkling program of music. Weather conditions were ideal, and hundreds' of citizens thoroughly enjoyed the presenta- tion of classical and popular music by the band, which was given splendid support by the Whitby Treble Clef Choir, under the direction of Mrs. P. N. Spratt, as the guest attrac- tion. Mayor Michael hand to officially open the concert season, and made reference to the splendid records of the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band in competition, and to the good for- tune of the people of Oshawa in having the magnificent McLaughlin Bandshell for the presentation of concerts. Noting that Col. and Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin were in the audience, he extended congratula- tions to Mrs. McLaughlin on the honor recently conferred on her by Queen's University in the form of Doctor of Laws honorary degree. Mr. McIntyre Rooa acted as master of ceremonies for the opening con- cert. WELL-CHOSEN PROGRAM As always, the program was well- chosen, and included a wide variety of musical competitions. Outstand- ing feature of the program was the magnificent Offenbach over- ture to "Orpheus in the Under- world," which brought out all the best in the musicianship of the band. It was beautifully rendered, with the solo passages being well handled. Incidentally, this over- ture is to be the test piece in the brass band competition at the 1951 CNE, so the band has made an early start in its preparations for that contest, The solo renditions brought the euphonium and the chimes into the spotlight. Bandsman Austin Wiltshire, one of the younger mem- bers of the band, played the euphonium solo "Celebrity", and showed himself to be a master of his instrument. The chimes, played by Bandsman C. Follest, were heard to good advantage in "The Bells of St. Mary's." The program was opened in the traditional manner with the march, "Voice of the Guns" by Kenneth Alford, followed by the "Nights of Gladness' waltz of Charles An- cliffe. Other numbers which evok- ed the sustained applause of the audience were Mackenzie's High- land Patrol, "Swing of the Kilt," and the descriptive selection, "Fox and Hounds" by G. Hawkins, in which the singing of the bandsmen and the sounds of the fox hunt added to the picturesque character of this number. The waltz, "Vien- na, City of My Dreams" by Siecyzn- ski, and medley of minstrel songs of the deep south, the hymn tune "Sandon" and the regimental march, "John Peel" rounded out a splendid program; which gave a great deal of pleasure to the many music-lovers present.

Im all new sub-divisions where no sanitary 'sewers are available the minimum size of lots shall be nos less than 15,000 square feet, The by-law 'as originally drafted had called for only 10,800. Council agreed to amend this clause at the regular meeting on Monday. Road accounts passed for pay- ment amounted to $839.97 while general -accounts approved, totalled $814.60. Reeve Isaac Catherwood told council that the suggested plan for the individual municipalities to take back the maintenance of county roads and bridges was not meeting a very favorable response in the majority of cases. S80 far as he [knew the Townships of Thora, Whitby and Pickering were the only three to have approved the sug- gestion. ity and presented a musical com= bination that was delightful to hear. Its first group was of a var- ied character, opening with Men-" delssohn's sacred composition, "Lift Thine Eyes" and continuing with the Negro spiritual "Knocka Ma Soul" and the hill-billy song, "Skip to My Lou," both arranged by Dr. Leslie Bell. In its second group of selections, the choir sang a "Gay Nineties Medley," which included .many popular hits of fifty years ago, and "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the operetta "Carousel." As an added number, the choir de= lighted the audience with a spirite ed rendition of "MacNamara's Band." An interesting interlude was the playing of the Welsh hymn tune, "Abberysmith" in honor of Bands- man William Jenkins, one of the long-service members of the band, who is leaving shortly for a holi- day in his native Wales. Next Thursday, the concert will be provided by the Junior Band, with the Dulcitones Barber Shop Quartet as assisting artists. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A classified ad and the deal is made.
