WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNAESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1974, PAGE 3 REPORT During the week of September 30 to October 6 inclu- sive, officers at Whitby Detachment investigated 24 motor vehicle collisions in which 1 person was killed, 10 injured and vehicle damage amounted to approximately $20,600.00. An early morning accident claimed the life of Normand Joseph DOSTIE, age 21, 628 Howard Street, Oshawa, on Wednesday. DOSTIE was eastbound on Highway 401 at Wilson Avenue, when his 1969 Meteor stationwagon cross- ed the median, rolled onto its roof and was struck by a westbound vehicle. The westbound vehicle, a 1971 comet, was driven by Charles LAW, age 45, of 44 Lensdale Avenue Toronto, Ontario. A passenger in his vehicle, Edward MUSTONEN, of Willowdale was also injured. Damage to both vehicles amounted to $3,000. DOSTIE was pro- Royalty At "The Royal" This Year This most prestigious of Canadian fairs welcomes a princess this year. Princess Anne and her husband, Capt. Mark Phillips, have accepted an invitation to come to Toronto to open the fair this fall. The occasion marks the second time the couple have been in Canada this year, and their attendance at the 9 p.m. opening ceremonies, Friday, November 15, occurs just one day after their first wedding anniversary. "The Royal" lasts nine days, from the 15th through to Saturday, November 23. It is the world's largest indoor agricultural fair, sprawled over 27 acres of exhibition and competition area beneath the roof of the Coliseum, Exhibition Park, in the heart of Toronto. The country fair has been coming to town since 1922 with time off during the five Second World War years when the Coliseum was used instead for armed forces recruiting. It has taken less than half a century for the event to become one of the world's great agricultural galas. The animal contingent goes part of the way to explain why: fair buildings accommodate 1,000 horses, 2,300 cattle, 800 sheep, 800 hogs and 4.00)_poultry. We Speak For Those At this time of year, days are often - not often enough - sunnv and warm, but nights are invariably chilly and heavy dews make the ground damp and uncomfortable. Little animal strays - chief- ly cats and kittens which have managed to look after themselves in the fields dur- ing the warmer months - may now be appearing in gardens and at back doors, or some- times more dangerously on streets and sidewalks. If you should sce a little one that looks as thou2h it might be lost, please try to win its confidence and take it in. Perhaps you may be able to keep it while making enquiries in the neighbor- hood. Perhaps you will take or send it immediately to the Shelter. But in any event please phone the Shelter at once and describe the animal and the area in which it was found, in case it has been listed as missing. This course may lead to a joyful reunion as early as possible. And on the other hand if you have lost an animal, the Humane Society begs you to advise the Shelter at once, and go at your earliest con- venience to see for yourself if your pet is there. It is amazing in what different terms the loser and the finder can describe a stray! And how far from home some strays turn up! And how much time can pass betweep losing and the notification the Society receives! It is indeed very sad if animals have been sold or euthanized before owners turn up to enquire, but-the Society can- not hold them forever. And please see that your-dog has some identification as well. nounceu dead at the scene by the Coroner Dr. A.G. STOCKS. The accident was investigated by Constable Dave ROBBINS of Whitby Detachment. Officers investigated 34 miscellaneous occurrences, laid 5 charges under the Liquor Control Act, arrested 5 impair- ed drivers and handled 13 calls relating to other Police Departients. 15 people were arrested as a resùlt of checks being made with the CPIC system. 7 motorists were given assistance by officers, I abandoned vehicles were renoved and 9 driving complaints were investigated to the satisfac- tion of the complainants. A Break and Enter in Scugog Township, a theft of 3 catalytic heaters valued at $210.00 from Bell Telephone in Port Perry and the theft of a 50 m.m. lens for a Pentax camera valued at $111.00 from the Port Perry High School are currently being investigated. The lair is said to have three purposes: to improve the quality and production efficiency of livestock and agricul- tural products; to foster export trade; to educate people by allowing them a view of the very best in agricultural achievement. The Royal prides itself in carrying out these tasks with- out ignoring a fourth - that of entertaining people. For generations many Canadians and Americans have come to the fair merely te have a look and a good time, and that's just fine with Winter Fair organizers. One of the most entertaining aspects of the fair is the Royal Horse Show, a major event of its kind held almost every evening along with six matinee performances. Top jumping teams from Great Britain, France, the United States and Canada will compete this year. In addition, three riders from the Luropean circuit will be invited to participate in individual events. A special addition to this year's horse show will be a five minute dressage demonstration, set to music, held at every performance. Princess Anne, well-known for her equestrian expertise, will spend much of her time watching the horse shows after she opens the fair and inspects the guard of honor on the first night. On Saturday, November 16, she will be brought into the ring on a horse drawn vehicle, watch the show, then present prizes. The Princess will hand out prizes to winning eques- trians again Sunday, then on Monday, her last day at the fair, she will make a tour of the entire fair during the morn- ing. Other important people are to be guests of The Royal. Governor-General Jules Leger is scheduled to attend the horse show Tuesday, November 19, while Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor McGibbon visits the fair Thursday, November 21. The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is Canada's pride, but proud, too, to be international. Twenty-five countries besides Canada participate in plant and animal competi- tions, and bidders from around the world compete for prize livestock at the 10 auctions held during the course of the fair. The Winter Fair's prestige has a lot to do with attracting people from other countries. So does the prize money. This year, $235,000 will be shared among 23 championship divisions. "Mother Nature's Open House," as the fair has been called, offers numerous other.attractions as well. Among thern are Food Town Canada, Dairy Lane and automobile and equipment displays. Maple products, wool, honey, tropical fish and posters make up some of the exhibits. There will be an interna- tional salon of photography. In the midst of a lavish flower show - this year it has a Christmas theme - will be an ice skating performance. An emphasis of the fair will be activities designed for young people. For those moments not spent at the fairground, the city of Toronto offers a bountiful array of attractions for tourists. This exciting metropolis, largest in English Canada is a centre for theatre, restaurants, shopping, football and hockey. Some of the country's best-known institutions are here, including the Royal Ontario Museum, with its world- famous Chinese collection, the space-age Ontario Science Centre, and the spectacular new Metro Toronto Zoo. General admission to the 1974 Royal Agricultural Win- ter fair is adults $2, students $1 and children under 12, 50 cents. Local Employment The number of clients registered for employment at the Canada Manpower Centre in Oshawa and Ajax for the month of September totalled 3,804 which included 1,592 male and 2,212 female clients. The decrease in registrations was mainly due to a drop in the number of students registered for employment. There was also a decrease in registrations in the construction trades. A few occupations such as sales, clerical, material handling and truck drivers showed a slight increase in registra- tions. Harvesting of the tobacco crop was completed by the end of September, at which time the apple harvest began. Employers have experienced some difficulty in recruiting apple pickers this year. A total of 566 persons were placed in employment during the month. The ma- jority of placements were made in the manufacturing construction, retail trade, services and transportation occupations. Shortages of qualified clients were noted in the fol- lowing occupations: nurse aides, registered nurses, ac- countants, commission sales- persons, licenced hairdressers, domestics, tandum dump truck drivers, T.V. repairmen, welders, machinists, bricklay- ers, carpenters, electricians, auto mechanics and auto body repairmen.
