BELIEVE ARREST IS LIKELY SOON Police Are Following Up Clues in Connection With Robbery Bowmanville, ec. 12.--In the belief that when the maroon-col- ored sedan, reported to have been stolen from Peterboro early last turday, and later used by the hree daring gunmen, who held up the Coronation Cafe, here, at midnight, Saturday, and decamp- ed with $35, returns to Peterboro, the arrest of the trio will not be long delayed, pblice are bending every effort to the case. . While the above information comes from a source outside of Bowmanville, it is fairly well es- tablished that local police, work- ing in co-operation with provin- cial officers have been following up certain clues. That, shortly af- ter the hold-up, they sped after the desperadoes, and - combed roads between here and Peter- boro--wbrking far into Sunday and most of the following day as well, While in the vicinity of Peter- boro and Welcome, they came a- cross Constable William Carey, of Cobourg, who said he had been fired at by the occupants of a maroon-colored car, which he tried to crowd to the side of the highway. Later, it was reported that another Chinese proprietor had been held up and robbed at the gun's point, It is believed that the three gunmen will not be above "pulling" another hold-up if not apprehended. Return of the trio to Peterboro would facilitate matters, greatly, police believe. MOVIE INDUSTRY "UNDER REVIEW Oscar Hanson Was Speak: er at Meeting of Local Rotary Club God Hath _ A resume of the motion picture industry from the time of the cor- ner nickel show to the high class talking picture of to-day, was re- vealed when Oscar Hanson, man- ager, Associated Theatres, Toronto, and a prominent figure in the in- dustr,, addressed Rotary Club, Bowmanville, at its regular week- ly meeting, here Friday. In tracing the growth of motion picture industry, which he believed might one day find a strong foot- hold in Canada, the speaker took occasion to pass some caustic re- marks anent the film censors, whom, he declared, were too lavish with ¢ = official blue pencil. He foresaw the time when British moving pictures, easily the equal of many from across the line, would find more general favor in this do- minion. He was somewhat critical of the vested interests of Wall Street who exploited the motion 'picture industry to their own ends. Thomas Holgate moved a vote of thanks to. the speaker, whose ad- dr-* was given under the auspices of the public informations commit- tee, of Rotary Club.

McCullough Makes Plea for Better Care of Graveyards Toronto.--It is true that there are hundreds of cemeteries in On- tario which are a blot on the highways and a disgrace to the province, according to Dr. J. 8. McCullough, chief health officer of Ontario, speaking at the an- nual convention of the Ontario association of cemetery superin- tendents, "On the main street of the town of Cobourg, there are two cemeteries so overrun with weeds and bramble that 100 children could be lost in each of them. One of them is Anglican and the other Catholic. Both are a dis- grace. But there are worse ones, During our survey we took pic- tures of more than 200 of these uncared-for cemeteries, and some of them are in barnyards and overrun with cattle," . Dr. McCulongh made an ap- peal for better care of the old cemeteries, "Ontario," he said, "owes her greatness and her prosperity to the pioneers.

J. Dunlop of High School Commencement me i-- That the boys and girls of to- day should make education a seri- ous business, and strive to obtain as much of it as they can so that they will be fitted when learning days are past for the varied duties of life, was the burden of a mes- sage brought to the students of Whitby High School by W. . Dunlop, drector of University Ex- tension, University of Toronto, in a timely address delivered at the annual Commencement Exercises held in the school on Friday even- ing. Mr. Dunlop stressed the fact that many new fields of endeavor in science, art, indnstrial re- search, household science, engi- neering and many 'others were open to the youth of to-day, but in all of them they would be hand- feapped if they lacked the educa- tion which was available to-day. The speaker wag introduced by Dr. H. Bascom, chairman of the Board of Education, who had with him Mayor Bowman, Reeve Jack- son, Principal Archibald of the High Schobl, and several members of the Board of Education. The eymnasium hall, where the gath- ering was held, was well filled, an encouraging feature being the presence of a large number of parents and interested friends of the punils. In addition to Mr, of nrizes won in the school and on the athletic field by quite a num- her of students were presented by the mayor reeve and school trus- tees while the school Literary So- ciety provided an excellent musi- cal and literary programme, Dr. C. F. McGillivray veteran secr- eary of the Board of Education, was ahsent on account of illness. He has missed few gatherings of the cMaracter in the last twenty- | five or thirty years. Mrs. | A Problem for Youth One of the greatest problems confronting boys and girls to-day, said Mr. Dunlop at the commence- ment of his address, was to decide during school days on a future careen, "What am I going to be?" wae a question not easily answer- ed, but nevertheless, every High School student ould choose some career and work towards at- taining it, even' if in after years | a change should be decided upon. It was always a good thing for youth to have something in mind. Going a step further in this di- rection, Mr, Dunlop declared that every High School boy and girl should look forward to a Univer sity education. People from other countries frequently came to Can- ada and told us that we are edu- cating our youth too highly, but for the most part these people came from countries where only a few could get a University edu- cation and where the facilities in that regard were not what they | are in Canada. "If I was to say that only ten pupils out of Whit- by High School could have a uni- versity education, there would immediately be a riot," declared the speaker as he made an appeal for equality of opportunity for edarcation. Keep on Educating Mr. Dunlop stated that mot- withstanding those who declared that the umiversities were like factories turning out men and women with degrees, the Univer- sity of Toronto was going to keep on providing every facility for the education of youth. Standards of education for some years had been going up, but the boys and girls of our schools had kept pace with them and embraced them at every opportunity. "We need never be ashamed of our university stan- dards of education," Mr. Dunlop declared. Value of Education The speaker stressed the value of education in all walks of life, and the numerous avenues for ob- taining it open to youth, In the arts course alone at the univer- sity," embracing mathematics, sci- ence, commercial, physics, botany, and many other subjects, a boy or =irl could obtain a general educa- tion, There was a demand to-day for men and women in the field of research, for Canada was a young and growing country, The field of medicine was crowded, the universities getting too many stu- dents for the opportunities open to them. Applied science and en- gineering were great fields for youth of to-day, For young men, he recommended engineering and commerce, and for young women, household science which embraced many subjects, In closing Mr, Dunlop asked his vouthful hearers to make educa- tion a serious business without leaving out the social side of life, It was no disgrace not to have a university education, because many parents were unable to pro- vide it for their children, but those who had the opportunity to attain higher learning should do 80, It was disheartening to have to listen to many men and women who came to him asking for an opportunity to get education which they neglected in their boy» hood and girlhood days. Any university a hoy and girl wished to attend was all right. The main thing was to make the best of edu- cational facilities placed at their disposal, Mr. Dunlop at the close of his address was given a hearty vote of appreciation by students and visitors. The programme provided by the students was as follows: Piano duet, Madeline and Betty Mihalko; reading, Keith Jackson; piano solo, Hildegarde Goodfel~ low; vocal solo, Eunice Sleight- holm; reading, Winona McEwen; valedictory address, Kenneth Lomax. HIGHWAYS DEPT. DEFENDANTS IN DAMAGE ACTION Bad Spot on Road Caused Auto Accident Is Plaintiff's Claim Whitby, Dec. 13. -- His Hon~ or Judge Thompson reserved judgment Lere this afternoon af- ter hearing the evidence in the case of Thomas Brown vs, The King. The action was the last on the docket for the General Sessions of the Peace and with the conclusion of the case the Court was closed. The action was = brought by Thomas Brown of the City of Toronto and Kathleen Brown of the same city, against 'The King in the right of the Province of Ontario, represented by the min- ister of public highways, claim~ ing $500 damages for repairs to the car owned by Kathleen Biown as well as to a car owned by Rev. Edward E. Annand, of Port Perry, with which the car driven by Thomas Brown came into a collision. The plaintiffs also asked the costs of the court and such further or other relief as the court might see fit to | award, "he cause of the action, it was adduced, was that on July 20 the plaintiff (Brown) was driving east on the Kingston Road near Courtice where the sideroad, run- ning between lots 30 and 31 of the Township of Darlington, in- terrects with the provincial high- way. It was claimed that prior to July 20, the highway had been negligently allowed or permitted to he damaged so that the car driven by Thomas Brown: was caused to get out of control. Thomas Gimblett, who Is charge of the repairs to the high- way, stated that he had made repairs to the shoulder of the road at the point where the acei- dent took place on the Thursday previous and that he had inspect- ed it just a day or so before and considered it to be in good re- pair. He stated however, on cross examination that he had had to fill in a rut at the side of the pavement on several occa- gions during the the summer, He stated that when he inspected the rond he considered "that there was nothing to worry about."
