" Result Of Riding Vote Monday Seen In Balance Will Ontario Riding which has been dominately Liberal over the Jast quarter century return its ast sitting member, a Progressive Conservative to Ottawa, or will another of the 'quick changes' for which the rid- ing is famous? This is the question in every voter's mind as he views the four- way political fight on its final ign day. Candidates are: John Lay, Liberal; Lloyd Peel, Labor-Progressive; Wesley Powers CCF; and Michael Starr, Progres- sive Conservative. No odds are be- ing given on the outcome which all observers say will be a close battle at the ballot boxes. The largest unknown factor is the effect of Oshawa industrial holi- days upon the total vote which is cast. Certainly the ordinary vote will be cut somewhat because of many citizens away from home. NEAR 50,000 VOTERS Final figures on the total num- ber of eligible voters in this riding were not available yesterday but there were 49,671 on the lists be- fore the Court of Revision. Since the last by-election, only 15 months ago, there has been an increase of nearly 3,000 voters. How this group will swing its weight is any- one's guess. Each candidate hopes it will be in his favor and all have been working hard. Ths current summer federal election campaign, unusually dull acrnss Canada, has been a bit livelier locally where the strong union groups throw their influence largely to the CCF and where the sitting provincial member is a member of that party - one of two CCF'ers at Queen's Park. RETURNS ON THE AIR Results from the 210 polls in the riding will begin at seven o-clock when Returning Officer Ralph Wal- lace announces the results of the advance poll. Following that his chief 'clerk, Mrs. Richards and her assistants, will be busy receiving results from the deputy-returning officers. The Times-Gazette, in co- operation with CKLB, will make periodic broadcasts beginning about 7.45 p.m. PAST RECORDS A glance at the record in past federal elections, while informative shows no indication of who the win- ner will be Monday night. Going back to 1925, the late Dr. T. E. Kaiser, Conservative, took the riding with a 1,263 majority. The following 'year there was an- other federal election in which Dr. Kaiser retained his seat with a majority of 880. Oshawa voters were strongest supporters of the popular doctor. Four years later, W. H. Moore QC, of Dunbarton, Liberal, won the riding with a modest 470 majority. By 1935, his position had been con- solidated and he piled up a 2,928 majority. Still on the ascendent, he won the seat for a third consecu- tive term with a 4,262 majority. Fortunes of the Liberal party in this riding continued to be sound clair, Liberal, won with a major- ity of 3,069. Due to Mr. Sinclair's death a by-election was held. Meanwhile organizéd labor was becoming a factor in politics and when, in 1948, Arthur Williams con- tested the seat, under the CCF banner, he polled 10,187 votes to the 8,311 garnered by Liberal, Ly- man Gifford. At the same time the Progressive-Conservatives con- tinued to receive strong support and their candidate, Frank Mec- Callum, received 7,541 votes. ANOTHER UPSET Mr. William's popularity waned somewhat when, in the June 27, RIDING VOTE (Continued on Page 5) BIRTHDAYS Congratulations are extended to the following readers of the Times-Gazette who will be cele- brating their birthdays tomor- ow; George Smith, 166 Gibbs Street.

Sin- {pq Oshawa Auto Is Damaged At Brockville BROCKVILLE Two people suffered minor abrasions and pro- perty damage was estimated at approximately $800 in a traffic section of Pearl and Perth streets. Investigated during the five o'clock rush by Sgt. Stanley Mc- Fadden, the accident involved a 1946 model car owned and driven by W. L. Rowsome, of Smiths Falls, and a 1949 model operated by Raymond J. Proctbr, of Oshawa. Mrs. E. Cook, of Hamilton, suf- fered abrasions to her forehead and Jacqueline Rowsome, age 10, "of Smits Falls, received a bruised back when the two cars collided. Both were passengers in the Row- 'some vehicle. Police said the Proctor car was travelling westerly on Pearl street and, brakes were applied at the intersection. The vehicle slid into the crossing and was in collision with the other car, which was going northerly on Perth street. Approximately $400 damage re- sulted to both vehicles when the left front of Proctor's vehicle con- nected with the right front and rear fenders of the other car.

By Raising Of SUNDERLAND -- Scugog Island was formed, it is alleged, when a dam on the Scugog River, at Lind- say, built in the early days by Purdy, caused the raising of Scu- gog Lake and thus the separating of the present island from the mainland, which was part of Reach Scugog Island Formed Lake John Collins, Wm. Bateman (J.P.) and the Hood family. An Indian reservation of about 800 acres of the island wasthe home of a small tribe of Missis- saga Indians, some decendants. of which still reside there. In the early days of 1860, a post office and a store were established. Three hools and four churches were and Cartwright Township : This island township of Ontario County, named Township of Scugog was surveyed by Mayor Wilmot in the year 1816. In 1900 the assess- ment was $342,846 and in 1904 the population stood at 472. BEAUTIFUL ISLAND The island is a beautiful one, containing some 1 1,000 acres. Seen from Port Perry and the lake it presents a view hardly to be excel- led in the province. It was connect- ed with Port Perry by a floating bridge about 1855 and with Cart- wright Township by a roadway about the year 1889. Up to 1851 the whole island had not three miles of road fit for travel, but is now well supplied with good roads. The first white settler on the island was Graxton, then came Stephen Scoville, the Pickles, Moores, Readers, Seargent, E. and J. W. Gamble, Rodman, Burham, Cole, the Grants, Sweetman's Chas. Nesbitt, Aldred, John Foy, built in the municipality in 1855. FIRST ELECTION The first election for the Town- ship was held in the Head school- house in 1855 when the following councillors were elected --. James Warren Gamble, Matthew Emmer- son, Solomon Fralick, Daniel Wil- liams, and Joseph Reader. James W. Gamble was the first Reeve, and John Foy was appointed the first clerk and {reasurer. At his death in 1905, Mr. Thomas Graham succeeded him. Helen Pickle was the first white child born on the island. Messrs. Ezra W. Gamble, Wil- liam Sexton, James Graham were each elected seven times as Reeve of the Township. Messrs. William Bateman and W. R. Ham each filled the office for five years. James Graham, who was a Reeve of Reach, bought the ex- tensive Sextor farm and carried on the raising of purebred stock on a large scale. ANOTHER AIR-NAVAL SQUADRON HAMILTON (CP)--Ontario's sec- ond naval reserve air squadron for training reserve crews will be formed at Collins Bay airport near Kingston in September.
