TOWN OF WHITBY Phone 703, Al Departments Honor Roll 'At Whitby Unveiled Baptist Church Ceremony "It is a betrayal of the wight Ip to forsake the ideals in peace for which" our nation's sons and daughters fought and for which we laboured in time of war", sald Ma- jor the Rev. R. F. sneyd speaking in the Baptist Church on Sunday evening. Major Sneyd, a senior Protestant: Chaplain: who served with . distinction in Italy, France the oe speaker at the dedication of the permanent Honour Roll to be placed upon the edst wall of the church. The guest soloist for the occasion was Miss Helen Hurst of Oshawa, and appropriate music was rendered by the organist, Mrs. W. E.G 8 ers with the 'choir. Mr. Sneyd pointed out that God has made all nations of men with capacity for brotherhood. There is one God and there is one humanity. As the mations seek God they will come 36 a closer relationship with each other. We do not want war", said the speaker, "but there is only one yay to avoid it, and that is for '$hen and nations to seek the Righteousness of God. We must behave as nations; as well as isidividuals, in the spirit of brother- hood. It is the one God. who. has made us all and His purpose is that we might find our spiritual life realized in Himself and our social life realized in each' other." Major Sneyd told of a little ceme- tery in Holland that he had taken from a corner of a Dutch farmer's field, Here they buried 25 Canadian boys, and when he refurned to see that the crosses were placed cor< rectly he found that two little Dutch girls had a can placed on each grave and kept fresh flowers in every one. "We were not alpne in the days of "struggle. God brought us fo victory", he said "and we are not alone in these days of reconstruction. God .will guide us to a world of Peace and Brotherhood if we will trust Him as we trusted Him in war time." The names to be placed upon the permanent Roll were read out by the minister, who stated "while some of them come no longer to our church and some of them we know not where they are, we want to express our gratitude to Him just the saiffe. Nothing-can alter the fact," he said, "that they serv- ed us and we realize #hat they did not serve this church alone, but all nations. After the names were read out Major Sneyd led. the congregation in -a. prayer ' of . dedication after which ,the congregation stood silently while the organist played the Recessional. Miss Hurst then sang "God Lives and He Commands Sail On." At the morning service a mem- orial plaque of bronze inscribed to the memory of Miss Mary Ray a faithful. member and generous benefactress of the church, was uf- vefled by Mrs. C. A. Goodfellow. Thé minister spoke of the faithful- ness of many members throughout the yedrs by which the church has been brought to its present place of privilege: and opportunity. The male quartet. of the .church sang very. acceptable humbers at both services. | Ten Years Old, Oshawa Youth Fails In Car Theft Attempt A 10-year-old Oshawa boy was apprehended yestérday morning af- ter "he had attempted to steal :a car belonging to Weslie Hoard, 306 Mary Street East, Whitby.

Retain Factory To Aid Studies Of War Weapons Montreal -- (CP) -- The Long- ueuil gun plant of Canadian Arsen- als Ltd. is being retained by the federal government as part of the industrial preparedness program of Canada, but it will not compete in any way. with private industry. - The plant will provide industry the opportunity of studying blue- prints of new weapon designs ahd working out manufacturing tech- nique to their own facilities. Information on the plant will be provided by the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Association, form- ed here last autumn during the de- monstration of war. weapons and equipment at the east end Longue' Point Ordnance Depot. J. G. Notman, a director of Ca~ nadian Arsenals, believes "the true measure of a country's ability to prepare for or wage war is the de- gree in which it can enlarge or re- organize its productive eapacity to this end." The Longueuil plant, located on a 168-acre site on the borders of the municipality, is recognized as one of the most modern general engineering set-ups. , During the war years the plant turned out 3,300 two-pound anti tank guns, 8,600 six-pounders, 952 57 mm. recoiless rifles for the American forces and 3,000 80 mm. brakes, one of the most important artillery developments during the war, Production now is centered on Penguin Mark II snowmobiles of which 20 now under construction 'which 20 now under construction by the Crown company are destin ed for the United States forces.

Montreal And Return Miniature Nightmare But "Roxy" Succeeds The idea of making a 600 mile round trip to Montreal for a holiday week-end, in a 1930 Ford, might not sound too inviting to the aver- age traveller, but four Whitby youths returned from such a trip yesterday, and report that "It was well worth it", The quartet, Jerry Fletcher, Dick Sundin, Jim Ross and J: Adair left Whitby Friday night and arrived back early Mon- day morning, having spent 30 hours of their week-end on the road in their car, "the Roxy". Leaving Whitby at 9:15 Friday night, the boys had a fairly "un- eventful" trip and reached Mont- real shortly after noon on Saturday. The only difficulties they encount- ered on the way were two flat tires, and the erigine heated up several times. The first tire trouble occur- red just past Port Hope, and it took them three-quarters of an hour. to fix the tire because they didn't have a jack. However, after searching around the roadside, the boys found some -logs which they used to lift up the car while they changed the tire. Although they had a spare tire, they could not use it because the front and rear tires were not the same size, and the spare was for the front. Fearful of more trouble, the trav- ellers bought a J for $1. and it soon proved to a good' invest- ment, as the same tire again went miles. This time they were not so fortunate, and they had to walk about half a mile to a garage. They patched the tube, and put a boot in the tire and started on their way again. The tires held out until they reached Montreal, but the engine heated up & couple of times, which caused the gas float to stick. This was easily remedied. by standing on the running board and rocking the car from side to side. . After arriving in Montreal, the boys went to a~wedding, and when they, came out of the church, they had another flat tire, so they took the car to a garage and had both tires fixed. When they checked into their. hotel, they found that they could get reservations for only two, so they spent Saturday night sleeping four in a room, with two in each single bed They started their return trip about 3. o'clock Sunday afternoon in a rainstorm, and they had not, gone far when they had a blowout. It took them nearly half an hour to fix the tire in the rain, and when they got back into the car, the roof had started to leak. However they soon drove out of the rain, and it was clear sailing except for the en- gine heating up occasionally. After dark, they were stopped by the Provincial Police for driving with only 'one light. They had the lights repaired at a garage, in Kingston, but at Napanee they were stopped by 'the police again for driving with one light, so they had to get the lights fixed again, The rest of the trip was uneventful, and they arrived back in Whitby at 6 am. Monday morning. The boys stated that their travel- ling expenses were only about $5 each. They used about 35 gallons of gas, and no oil on the trip. They have already taken trips'to Buff: and Wasaga Beach, and now th are eagerly awaiting July 1, the next holiday week-end for another trip, alth they haven't decided on their destination yet.

Whitby Classified |= CE--MR. LOYAL POGUE, RR. Whitby, has 112 acres of nin (Dunlop) which he is unable to handle himself, Anyone interested taking over this crop, Blease cont: owner, One of the lrg largest sales of Jersey cattle in the province this year will be held at Bokar Farm, on No. 2 Highway, three miles west of Whitby on Wednesday afternoon. Over 70 head of cattle, comprising the miking and breeding herd will go under the auctioneer's hammer, and already many of the foremost Jersey cattlemen of Ontario, Que- bec and even some from Unitéd | States have signified that they will be on hand. The expiring of a lease of a _ neighbouring farm used for pasture, and a general shortage of help that has lasted for the past two years has caused the size of the herd to be reduced, Mr. Von Pilis, owner of the herd, stated in an interview today. However, although he is dis- posing. of his entire milking and breeding herd, more than 50 calves and heifers will be retained to carry on the tradition of the farm that has been built up in the past 40 years, and judging from 'the quality of these, the future looks Secure for Bokar Farm. Included in the sale will be many of the cattle that helped Bokar Farm to win such a fine record at the Brooklin Spring Fair a few days ago. The Bokar Farm Jerseys won two Grand , Championships, five firsts, six seconds, three thirds and three fourths, and this record is even more impressive because many of the classes had two and three Bokar Farm entries. For sonie time "after Mr. Von Pilis assumed ownership of the farm, the stock was registered un- der the name of "Meadowbrook", but recently they have reverted. to the old name of "Bokar", ' Some, of the most famous of the cattle in the sale, and their records are as follows: Taxpayer Boy, twice grand champion of the Brooklin Fair, and father of this year's Jun- 1% Onampilon; Bokar Basil's Coun- first prize three year old at Brooklin this year; Bokar Basil's Fragrance, champion last year at Brooklin; Meadowbrook Fragrant Basilua, Canadian Champion for milk and butterfat as a yearling, and a silver medal winner; and Bokar Basil's Design, prize winner at Oshawa and Lindsay. The sale will begin promptly at 12.30, and it will be held under cover. The auctioneer for the sale will be L. E. Franklin of Toronto, and the sale manager is James Bremner, Toronto.
