ho THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1928 PAGE THREE \ ear Drowning Averted When Youth Breaks T Dshawa Little Theatre Well Prepared to Give 'Second Play Tomorrow Captain Applejack," a Tale of Weird Occurrences and Pirates' Hordes to Be Un- folded By the Community Players. at Rotary Hall, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ll Many excellent plays are being resented by the Oshawa Little heatre players this winter, but fhe most thrilling is probably their xt venture, 'Captain Applejack,"" y Walter Hackett, which they are roducing on Tuesday, Wednesday pnd Thursday in Rotary Hall, this week. _ It is a strange tale of an English- man and his dream, and in it walk rates and bandits, crack safe lowers and cunning Chinamen, while through it all, is woven a fas- dnating love story. The role of the heroine is taken by Baroness Korff, and others in the cast are Mrs, J. H, Irwin, Miss Marjorie MeGillivray, of Whithy, Miss Mirn Sewage and Miss Grace Pennell, The scene is laid in Cornwall, gland, at the present time and e setting of the old English man- r house has been faithfully por- rayed, The players have been re- earsing for weeks and will stage 8 production well worthy of the support of the community, While there are now well over 300 members, the Committee would like to see it reach 500, and in a city the size of Oshawa, that should not be difficult. = Not-many of the Little Theatres can boast an or- chestra of their own, as Oshawa does, and under the direction of Miss Helen Johnston, they are pre- paring an especially fine musical program for this production.

Offices are also provided for perhaps the city clerk and his staff and the mayor, the latter being large enough for @ committee room, if so desired, and another room suitable for com- mittee or for sittings of public bodies such as the Railway Board, etc, r The ground floor of the city hall provides six office rooms, which it is suggested-could be used by the ¢ity engineer's department, and a room suitable for a medical health clinic is provided on the west side. Vaults are provided on each floor. Both the city hall and the fire and police building will be constructed with a reinforced concrete foundation extending up to the level of the main floor, and faced with stone for the first floor, The first and second floors will be faced in brick, backed with hollow tile, The flat roof will be of felt and gravel, with the sloping portions covered with Spanish tile or copper. The color of brick suggest- ed by the architect is light yellow, or practically the same as being used in the Masonic temple, on the cor- ner of Metcalfe and Centre streets and near the city hall site, Partial Excavation A brief description of the fire and police building has already been pub- lished in The Times. The same gen- eral construction will be used, with the same finish as the city hall building. Floors in both buildings will be of reinforced concrete, with terrazzo on the main halls. Exca- vation will be made under only a part of the fire and police building, and will not be carried under the main fire department room, on ac- count of the weight of the fire trucks, etc., to which the floor will be con- structed. Seven Trucks The fire hall proper has accommo- dation for seven fire trucks, includ- ing the fire chief's car, and a work shop large enough to accommodate one truck for repair purposes, is pro- vided. A recreation room, kitchen, dining room and dormitories are pro- vided on the first floor, and upstairs there is a gymnasium for the use of both police and fire departments. Ample accommodation is provided for afire. department of greater strength than the city has at present. ge Room g A large court room, with magis- trate's office, barristers room, crown attorney, division court clerk, jury and witnesses rooms are pro- vided on the second floor of the fire and police building. On the first or main floor, is the chief's office, ser- geant's office, detective department office, men's room, lockers, ten cells holding twenty male prisoners and three cells separately placed for six In the basement me -. The basement floor of the police department is conn with the basement of the city hall by a well lighted corridor. Provision is made for windows in each office, no mat- ter where they are placed in the buildings, and in many other ways the plans show that the pr municipal buildings will be modern in detail and worthy of the progres- sive city of Oshawa.

Krasinski was defended by J. F. Grierson, MAGISTRATE RETURNS After an absence of several weeks through illness, Major A, F, Hind, city magistrate, resumed his work on the bench this morning, With char- acteristic thoroughness he carefully inquired into all the cases which were brought before him even though it is a fact that an average of seven cases pass through his court daily, A magistrate's task is by no means an casy one especially in the dis- pensing of "quick lunch" justice as it is commonly called in the lower courts of large cities. Shrewdness and an intimate knowledge of human nature are required, The fact that there are few appeals from convic- tions made in the local court speaks well of the magistrate's ability, were vaccinated" LOCAIARAIN Light local rian is rather a miserable forecast for today and the early part of tomorrow, but we must face the issue as it presents itself, Clouds will continue to dar. ken the skies and moderate south west winds will keep the temperas ture fairly high, TAKES 60 DAYS Willidm\Cross, who was arrested on Pine Ave, yesterday afternoon for being intoxicated, Pleads guilty when he appeared before: Magistrate Hind in court this morning and was sentenced to sixty days in jail with an option of paying a fine of and. costs, as this is his second of- fense under the Liquor Control Act, He chose to accept the jail term, NEW HOUSEKEEPER : Some person is apparently starting housekeeping in the city or vicinity through the medium of other people's goods according to a report received by the police from Walter Baluk, Olive Ave, Baluk claims that early yesterday morning a number of bed clothes, including sheets and pillow slips were stolen from a clothes line at the rear of his home. Just six more shopping days! WARNING GIVEN The occurrence of a near tragedy on the Oshawa Creek, near Cedar- dale, when a young lad ventured out on thin ice and was nearly drowned when he broke through, brings to mind the fact that winter sports may be attended by serious accidents, unless due precaution is taken. This shou' be a warning to other boys and girlg not to take chances in skating on ice before it is frozen to a depth of three inches or more. RESULTS ATTAINED The displaying of a fine sheep dog at the Royal Winter Fair, held in Toronto several weei:s ago, has brought results to William Dryden, of Brooklin, one of the county's most prominent citizens. The dog had a litter of puppies and today two of these are heing shipped to Oregon upon request of a sheep breeder of that state, who noted the splendid behavior of the animal when it was on exhibition at the fair.

J. E. Griffith, B.A.T day as visitors would be in attend- ance in the persons of Inspector, Medical Health Officer and trustees, The inspector's test questions were full of wit and humor and brought forth a hearty applause, He diag- nosed some tongues far too long for everyday use and prescribed "the rest cure" for others, The ABC class, the spelling match, the geography, the history classes were all revelations of smart questions (with crooked answers. One of the novel features of the program was the art work drawp on the blackboard by Dave Smith.

Climpson, 886 Robson Street, Had Proceeded 'Farther Out on Ice Than Chums--Ray Lutz Jumps to Rescue With All His Clothes on When he broke through the thin ice on Oshawa creek, near his home in Cedardale, yesterday af- ternoon, Fred Climpson, 10-year- old son of Mr, and Mrs. George F, Climpson, 886 Robson street, had a- narrow escape from drowning. Only , the courage of Roy Lutz, North Oshawa, and Charles Stire, 79 Bloor street west, who went to the boy's rescue, saved him from a tragic death. The boy, together with two com- panions, had gone to the vicinity of the creek to play during the af- ternoon, and ventured out on the inviting ice of the creek. Climp- sou apparently went out a little farther than the other hoys, and fell through. His companions, who were young lads like himself, were unable to do anything for him, and becoming frightened, started run- ning away from the place, They met Charles Stire and Roy Lutz, who were walking on Frank street, and told them- of the hoy's plight. Running to the creek, the men found Fred struggling in the water. Jumped in Water Casting off his coat, but not stopping to remove his heavy boots, Lutz jumped into the creex and reached the hoy. Both went Lad Ashore under in the icy water, however, but, Stire used his slicker as a life rope, and Lutz seizing this was pulled out of the water, hringing the boy with him, None of the participants in the drama seem to have suffered any ill effects from the icy dip. The lad, who attends Cedardale schoo, was kept home today by his morn- er, but has not even contracted a cold. He took in considerable watery however, but it is expected that he will be able to return to school toe morrow. PAYS $100, COSTS FOR HAVING LIOUOR Sidney Loscombe, 83 McLaughlin Boulevard, appeared on a charge of having 'liquor without a permit in city police court today. Chief Friend claimed that Loscombe really did not own the liquor but was attempting to shield some other men. He refused to give their names to the police and admitted ownership himself. On the 16th of September some men came to Loscombe's house and according to the police, brought beer with them. ' Loscombe objected to their presence but when the police arrived he fled from the house rather than give their names. In the act of attempting to circumvent the law he sustained a nasty fall, The defendant would not admit to the court that the beer did not be- long to him but stated that he could not recall whether it was his beer or some other person's... He was quite willing to pay the fine of £10. and costs, Scranton "Square Fracture" ANTHRACITE CO A L "The Best the Mines Produce" 2,000 LBS.
