What FOUND GUILTY OF REGHLESS DRIVING Edmund Jacobs Fined $10 and Costs as Sequel to Accident Edmund Jacobs, 613 Mary Street, was found guilty of reck- less driving by His Worship Mag- istrate T. K., Creighton in police court this morning and fined $10 and costs., The action arose when the car driven by the accused rammed a car in transit driven hy Ernest Drinkle at the corner of Ontario and William streets, shortly be- fore five o'clock on the evening of June 11th. Mr. Drinkle, who was repre- sented by A. C. Hall, testified that he was proceeding at a mod- erate rate of speed along William Street and slowed down at the in- tersection of Ontario street, when he noticed the other car approach- ing along Ontario Street, tarvel- ling north. He considered that he had plenty of time to cross but when he was in the middle of was driving, Was hit' by the car driven by Jacobs and turned around with the result that dam- age was done to the rear fender and running board and one of the windows in the car broken. In cross examination conducted by Louis Hyman, counsel for the defendant, Mr. Hyman figured that if Jacol's car was eighty feet away when first noticed it' must have been travelling at a verys high rate of speed to have reach- €d the intersection and struck the car driven by Drinkle, Evidence regarding the scene of the accident was given by Chief of Police 0. D. Friend, P. G. Harvey, who was called to the accident, gave evidence that he had received no' statement from the defendant and that he saw no skid marks on the pavement.

Mr. Jacob when called to the stand testified that he was tra- velling north on Ontario Street at a moderate rate of speed and slowed down at the intersection where he saw the other car ap- proaching at a distance such that ho considered that he had plenty of time to cross. Then as he got into the intersection it was a ques- tion of who would be hit. On being cross examined by Mr. Hall he stated that he had had his driver's permit only a matter of three weeks. In passing judgment His Wor- ship commented that the car driven by the defendant must have been travelling faster than he stated as it had turned the plaintiff's ear around and inflict- ed considerable damage. He warned the defendant that on ap- proaching intersections that all due care should be taken in order to avoid accidents.

GORGEOUS SIGHT AT ROTARY PARK - (Continued from page 1) dog vied with ice-cream cones for the public favor, had their place in the line-up, and in a place of honor was "Josephine," the snap- py De Luxe Chevrolet roadster which is to be given away to some lucky ticket-holder this evening. There was a great demand for crippled children's club member- shin: tickets, which entitled the purchasers to a chance on the car, hundreds of visitors to the fair be. ing determined to have a part in the competition for the possession of the lovely "Josephine." In other parts of the grounds were to be found the old-fashioned "cocoanut-shy'" game, tents in which mysterious ladies endeavor- ed to peer into the future and tell the fortunes of all who patronized them, a booth at which a group of Rotary Annes were selling roses and other beautiful flowers, a fish pond, and a booth bearing the le- gend, "Treasure Hunt," at which crowds of people displayed their curiousity by giving their patron- age. Rotarians Worked Hard The Rotariang worked like tro- jans, from W. M. Gilbert, the fair chairman, down to the newest member. This wag their great ef- fort, and they were putting their whole heart and soul into captur- ing the interest of the people, and beguiling them into parting with their dimes and quarters. But it was all for a good cause, and the Rotarians seemed to be enjoying themselves just as much as the people who flocked around their booths. It was surprising how they attracted the crowds to their booths, not alone with their voices but with 'moise-making devices of every possible description, = and oncs drawn there, the people be. ¥, came willing patrons, and helped to swell the proceeds of the event, A Brilliant Sccne The colorful decorations of the booths, coupled with the lighting scheme and floodlights which shed their brilliant rays all ever the park, helped to make the fair 3 brilliant scene. Thoughout the whole evening, the people came and went, their numbers seem- ing to increase every five minutes until a late hour. Then, laden with the spoils of their evening's fun, they wended their way out of the park. Many homes will be adorned by new blankets and cushions, many young men, too, and women, will be wearing brand-new gweat- ers, electrical appliancés will be making their apearance in place: where they had never been seen, as a result of the night's frolic, But, above all, everyone seem- ed to be satisfied. What matter if they did mot succeed in securing that much-sought prize, they had the fun of trying anyway, and they had the satisfaction of knowing that (their money was going to a worthy cause. ly attractions. In spite the warmth of the evening, a large number of young people found their way into Rotary Hall, where to the music of an excellent or- chestra, they passed the evening in dancing. This feature will again be in operation tonight, and should attract many er folk of the city. On Again Tonigh, Tonight, the fair will again be in full swing, bigger and better than ever, With their experience of last night behind them, the Ro. tarians will be more zealous than ever in their efforts to make their great annual event a success. And then, of course, there will be the crowning event of the whole fair, the giving away of "Josephine" to the lucky winner.

Works As A Unit "The success of any organization is the solid front that it shows and has when it tries tq achieve any- thing, and this Federation has cver since its inception worked as a unit with the result that we have been able to place on the Statues of On- tario legislation in the interest of the Ontario Fire Fighters. 1 am sorry to report though that during the past year we broke our record by reason of the division on the matter of the Superannuation Act. Fhis' propdsed legislation has been the topic of debate and questiof for tlie past three or four Convens tions and in not one instance has any Branch ever stated that they did not wish to be included in such Legislation, until the zero hour when the Act is before the Legislature for 'consideration.

Must Help Chiefs "During the past year there have been a couple Jf instances where the members of Branches and the Chief have been out of accord and after investigation I have found that such Branches and the members have got the impression that the Chief should follow the dictates of the 'Branch. "Now I feel that it is my duty to bring to your attention this point, that in Ontario practically one hun- dred per cent of the Chiefs are men who are behind the advancement of the conditions of their men, but they do also want the co-operation of the men.

Mr, BarncS§ testified that he was acting in the capacity of man- system lication trom the Hills to have the ex- ended to serve the In cross examination Mr. Barnes admitted that one appli- cation had been received and that this was granted. that if anv applications had been received they would have been granted Mt. O. Miller, actng city engineer of : Oshawa, was next called and stated that he was chief clerk in 1928, He stated that no anplication had; been received from the plain- sions, in- 1928, He further stated that if a sewase system were to be put in'there thai, it would entail considerable expense as the subdivision was much too low to be taken care of by - the present systena, Mrs. Broomfield Mrs. Broomfield was then called to the stand and testified that she had signed the two agreements of purchase from the plaintiffs, Mrs, Broomfield corroborated the evid- ence given by her husband and re- iterated that several prominent citi- zens were to build alomst at once according to what they were told. She stated that on a visit which she and her husband paid to the sul- division, she. noticed that all the lots among the driveways seemed to be marked sold. She told the cotrt ved no apg 1 Dal | that what A. C. Lycett had told her of the promising future had influen- ced her to enter into the agreement and that she relied on the judgment of her husband. She denied on cross examination that she and hert husband had beer advised to place a septic tank in front of the house, they were to build until such times as a sewer was put if. Mr. Greer then showed her a vellow card marked, "reserved" which he suggested was on some of the lots. The witness, however, stated that she had never seen them before. The records of the examination for discovery taken from Mrs. Broom- field were then read by Mr. Greer, in which Mr, Greer had asked her if the word "opinion" were used with regard to what Mr. Lycet, had, told her. At the time of the exe amination, Mrs. Broomfield agreed' 'that 'this was so. , But When 'asked if she still wished to say.that, she stated 'that she' had' been confused: ahd' stated 'that the word was, not used by Mr. Lycett, / Mr. Swanson then galled Fred in to make payment of $50 down on | and that he re- | He further said | Stevens, who he 'stated would give evidence to show that there had been misrepresentation to other in- dividuals, Mr. Greer questioned the admissibilty of such evidemce and his contention was upheld by His Lordship. Plaintiff's Case Mr. Greer then proceeded with the plaintiff's case and called Ro- land Pinner, who stated that he was a salesman and advertising manager for the company in 1928. Hes stat- ed that he had had nothing to do with the sale of lots to Broomfi field but had gone to him'on occa- sion to collect payments, He testi- fied that he had written the adver- tising material which had been ap- proved by the members of the ex- ccutive. In these advertisements, which had appeared in the Oshawa Daily Times, there was no misstate- ment of facts, In the evidence which he gave, Mr. A. C. Lycett, stated that he had told the Broomfields that Mr. Park- hill had told the company he might build, not that he was going to build. He stated that TI. B. Mitchell had not bought « lot, and that he did not tell the defendant that Mit- chell would build. He stated further that the defend- ants were told that they would have to put in a septic tank until a sewer was put in. He also told the court that he had told the defendants that they could get lights if they applied for them and denied that he had told them that the agreegient was already made to have 'them brought in. He further stated that he had not mentioned any extension of the railways to them Mr. Kinsella, who next took the stand, asserted that he had made the sale to Broomfield and not Ro- land Pinner as was alleged by the defendant. He told the courg that none of the statements told the Broomficlds were made by him nor dig he hear th PARADE TD ROTARY PARK (Continued from cheering music the ap proach of the procession.

If the children arched out of Egypt in an array like that which trailed its way to Rotary Park, last night, old King Pharaoh would never have got him- self wet in the Red Sea. Instead he would have laughed until his ides had ached so hard that, in- «tead of going in pursuit he would have been quite content to stay home and rest on the royal couch. Oshawa, which for long has been thinking of hard times and unemployment, got a good laugh out of the parade, forgot its troubles and followed the merry throng to Rotary Park. There fun and gaiety reigned 'supreme. Clever Floats One of the most clever floats was attractive display of fruit and garden products by the Little Cov- ns. The Oshawa Dairy also had an attractive float, which showed hundreds of milk bottles, dairy products and eggs in intricate array. Williams Piano Co.
