PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE " WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1947, LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss-G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, All Departments Three New Rotarians Admitted To Local Club At Meeting Three new members were admit ted to the Whitby Rotary Club yes- terday afternoon during the weekly luncheon meeting of the club held in the Royal Hotel. The three well- - known local businessmen initiated . into the club were Mayor William . Davidson, Francis J. McIntyre and Mac Bassett. . | During the briet ceremonies Ro- tarlan Jack Roblin read and pre- sented copies of the Objects of Ro- tary to the new members and Ro- tarian Gordon Grobb extended the official welcome. 'President Vernon Rowe also extended a welcome on behalf of the executive and asked the new members to observe and 'practise the objects of Rotary to the best of their ability. Following the luncheon an ad- dress was delivered to the club by Rev. Fred Darnell, minister of the ' Whitby Baptist Chuch, in which - he stated that one of the greatest pleasures a man could get out of - life was to indulge in "good" books. He referred to: the many books - written by the late English author, Charles Dickens, and said that al- © ways beneath the surface in these - "classics" Dickens tried to point out the folly of men who go to ex- - cesses in whatever they do or .be- lieve. He sald that it wag particularly - adaptable today both in religion and in politics. He said that pres- ent-day Conservatives or Liberals or any other political party were inclined to sit upon one side of the fence or the other with each be- lieving that he was absolutely right while the chap on the other side was altogether wrong. He added that this is also the case in almost everything that we do or believe . today. . Mr. Darnell told the club mem- bers that if each one tried to be a little less inclined to be "excessive" . in one way or the other it would be 8 much better world than it is at present. "If we can do away with excessive egotism on one side and excessive humiliation on the other we would all be better off for it," he concluded.

Joyrider Is Given Light Sentence Edmund Chase, 19, R.R. 3, Stouff- ville, convicted a week ago on & charge of joyriding, was yesterday placed on suspended sentence for one year 'when he appeared for sentence before. Magistrate Frank 8. Ebbs in Magistrate's Court here. THe magistrate ruled also that the | costs of the court would have to be paid by Chase or his family. The charge arose out of an inci- dent during the early morning hours of July 8 when testimony in- dicated that Chase had taken a to- tal of three trucks from his em- ployer, Contractor's Haulage, Pick- ering. Two of the vehicles were recovered a short distance from the scene of the incident later that morning but the third vehicle was not located until the following day 'when Chase, following his arrest, led officers to the place where he had hidden it. When questioned by police Chase had told the officers that he had taken the vehicles in an attempt to reach his home because of a sudden "longing to go home", which he claimed overwhelmed him. Chase also admitted to the officers. that he had been drinking and at the original hearing this fact caused the magistrate to reprimand the boy's father for his apparent laxity in bringing up his son. The boy's grandmother told the magistrate that she had had to "bring up" Chase at various times because the boy's own mother had been confined to the Hospital on several occasions. In answer to the magistrates question as to whether she (the grandmother) believed she could control the boy's actions in the fu- ture she replied that she thought she could. The magistrate then re- leased the youth on suspended sentence and told - him to report every month to the Chief of olice in the Village of Uxbridge. Viola Rooke Becomes Bride Of Milton Craig A quiet wedding took place on Saturday, July 19th, at the United Church Parsonage, Chatham, when Rev. Clifford Park, united in mar- riage Viola Rooke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, D. F. Rooke, Whitby, and Milton A. Craig, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Craig, of Ot- tawa. The bride wore a white flannel suit, navy accessories and corsage of red roses. She was attended by her sister, Miss Virgie Rooke, who wore a yellow suit, brown accessories and corsage of pink roses. Attending the groom was his brother, Mr. Earl Craig, of Stratford. Following the ceremony, a small reception was held at the William Pitt Hotel, in Chatham.

J. Usher's home in Rouge Hills, when he appeared before Magistrate Frank 8S. HEbbs yesterday afternoon to answer a charge of disturbing the peace by "screaming and swearing" in the early morning hours of July 13. Rutledge, who told the court that his wife, from whom he was sep- arated, was residing on the Usher property, while she did general housework for the Usher family. Mrs. Rutledge, testifying against her husband, said that in the early morning hours of July 13, she had been awakened by the sound of someone coming into the cottage to the rear of the Usher residence, in which she rasided. She said that the noise frightened her and she let out a yell which was heard by Mr. Usher who came out and ordered the accused off hig proper- ty. Subsequent testimony indicated that Rutledge and his wife had been employed at the Usher home in February das a domestic couple but that Rutledge had. left his em- ploy and his wife shortly after. * He said that Rutledge had prev- iously created a disturbance at his home earlier in the year and he wanted to be sure he did not re- turn. In passing sentence, Magistrate Ebbg told the accused that he would have to find some other way of solving the difficulties with his wife and ordered him not to return to the vicinity of the Usher home. Audley Audley, July 22--The Bryant pic- nic was held at the Lynbrook Park on Saturday last. The wheat harvest is on this week. The crop is good and every- one is hoping for drier weather to prevent sprouting. Owing to the late spring it is likely that there will be a larger acreage sown this season, Jack Chapman, to our south, who has-been working at contract work with his bulldozer at Tillsonburg, has purchased another to operate in this township. It is rumored that the Ranger property on, the corner here has changed hands. George and Mrs, Blake and fam- ily have been visiting Mrs, Blake's parents at Orillia. Little Miss Carol has been holidaying there. Don and Mrs: Lawson, of Clare- mont, former residents here, were welcome visitors recently. William Bell and Mrs. Bell, to the east, have both been indisposed of late. Their many friends hope for recovery soon. His many friends here regret to know that Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, MP. has been ill in the hospital for six weeks. Hope for his speedy recovery is general. Miss Joyce Winter is holidaying at Port Carling. Fred and Mrs. Puckrin attended a family reunion with her people at Cherrywood previous to her young- est brother, Kenneth, who is being transferred to Winnipeg and is leav. ing immediately. Miss Helen Puckrin attended the wedding of Miss Love, her friend in the U.S. last week. The school = trustees met this week at the school to make arrange- ments for improvement to the grounds. Many fish fry have been put in the local streams and signs are up requesting that people do not fish in these places, but some fishers pay no attention to these signs until some action is taken. The Johnston family who were on that strip of land near R. P. Win- ter's farm have left for the city. Although they lived there all winter on the promisé to the local building inspector that they build a house in the spring, apparently the place is for sale. Sam Jones who often visited his relatives here, the Winters' families, flew to England this week to visit his people. whom hg has not seen for 30 years. A new telephone line has been put in here from the four corners west- erly and several more rings will likely be on line 23. The superstructure of John Puck- rin's new house is being erected and it is promising to be a neat resi- dence.

The victim of the fainting spell was Mrs. E, Pearson, of Toronto, who was quite seriously injured in the accident out of which the. charge resulted. Magis trate Frank S. Ebbs, Oshawa, or- dered a 10-minute recess while the woman was carried from the court room and revived. However, she was not able to return to the court- room for the remainder of the hearing. The charge was laid by Constable Fred White of the Pickering Police Department following his investiga- tion of an accident on the Spruce Hill Road, Dunbarton, involving the automobile driven by the defendant and one driven by Harvey Arm- strong on June 15. Mrs. Pearson, an aunt of Armstrong's, received a severe cut on her head and many bruises in the accident and Arm- strong's wife and young baby re- ceived a shaking up. A second charge, that of careless driving, will be heard at a later date. At the conclusion of the Crown and defence evidence, Magistrate Ebbs informed the parties that it was too late to hear counsel's argu- ments concerning the evidence and laid the case over until July 29. In evidence produced by the Crown it was stated that the Arm- strong car was travelling south on the Spruce Hill Road at a speed estimated by Crown witnesses to be about 20 m.p.h. when the car driven by Boudreault backed swiftly out onto the road from a driveway, striking the Armstrong car which was passing at the time and send- ing it into the ditch on the east side of the road. Armstrong testi- fied that he was thrown out of the car along with his child but did not receive any serious injuries. Arm- strong's aunt, who was also riding in the car, received a terrific cut on the back of her skull from fly- ing glass.. Damage to the car has been estimated as being in the neighbourhood of $250. Several other Crown witnesses, testifying at the hearing, stated that the Boudreault car entered onto Spruce Hill Road from the driveway without coming to a com- plete stop. They added that the speed of the accused's vehicle was in excess 0 what it should be when entering a road as busy as Spruce Hill Road. Constable Fred White, the arrest- ing officer, told the court that when he arrived on the 'scene the Bou- dreault car had been moved back into the driveway but measurements of marks visible on the roadway indicated that the vehicle had been protruding onto the wrong side of the road when the collision occurred. Further Crown evidence indicated that the accused had visited the home of Armstrong's brother to in- quire about the condition of Mrs. Pearson and that on failing to make Armstrong understand his questions clearly because of the heavy French accent with which he speaks, he had left, apparently in anger, Duncan B, McIntyre, acting for the accused, attempted in cross- examination and by defence wit nesses to prove that Armstrong was driving at a speed of between 40 and 45 m.p.h, immediately prior to the accident and that the defen- dant's car had been visible to Arm- strong long before the accident took place. Both Boudreault and his wife tes- tified that on their visit to Arm- strong's brother's home the night after the accident, Armstrong had said that "he believed he could make it past his (Boudreault's) car before an accident could occur." Several other defence witnesses testified that the Armstrong car had appeared to them to be going at a speed well in excess of 20 m.p.h. immediately before the accident. In answer to a question by Magis- trate Ebbs, Mr. McIntyre said that his argument would be quite lengthy and in answer to this state- ment Magistrate Ebbs said that be- cause of the lateness of the hour he would continue the case on the following Tuesday. VALLEY OF NO ECHO By T.C. Bridges CHAPTER XXXI THE PILOT INSPECTS Down the ravine, through the trees, Keith raced at a speed which left Gil far behind. At last he was in.the open and able to see the lake. There was no sign of Grace's canoe, so it seemed that she must have reached her destination. Keith breathed a prayer of gratitude and looked up at the 'plane. It was a large cabin monoplane and was flying at about 3,000 feet. At present it was over the lake but, as Keith watched, it circled and turned in his direction. The pilot must haye spot- ted the house and wanted a closer view, Keith slipped under cover of a tree and waited, The "plane came down to about 1,000 feet and passed over the cabin. The air was so clear that Keith was able to see a man's head and shoulders as he looked out of the cabin window. He bitterly regretted that he had not his rifle with him, For a moment or two Keith thought that the pilot meant to come low enough to machine-gun the cabin. Instead, he headed the 'plane up again and turned her towards the head of the lake. The deer and other animals grazing by the lake side were terrified. Clearly they had never before seen or heard a 'plane. They stampeded wildly. Gil came up alongside Keith. "They go look at the other house," he said. "But they not see him very easy. The trees, they hide him." "That's a blessing," said Keith, "And I suppose Miss Arden is in- doors by this time." "She safe from plane, I think" Gil agreed, "but not if they come down on the water." Keith groaned. His eyes were fixed on the plane. Too well he knew what might happen if it came down, for there would be at least three men in it, and Grace had told him that this Tamer had no one with him but a Chinese cook. But the plane did not come down. It kept the same height, flew over the spot where the Tamer's house was hidden among its trees, then swung away to the right. Now Keith saw that it was losing height. The pilot seemed to be making for the high hills which guarded the head of the valley, and presently it dis- appeared amid the gorges. Keith frowned. "I wish I knew what those devils were after," he muttered. Gil shook his head, but said nothing. Keith roused. "The first thing to do is to get Miss Arden back, Gil. I'll take the other canoe and go after her." "I think you not be in a hurry, corporal. You not know yet wether they come back. Mademoiselle, she safe, I think: for a while. Now we go see Monsieur Arden." "It won't be much fun seeing him," said Keith, and he was right. Arden had spotted the plane, made up his mind it belonged to Mar- rable, and was in a sweet state of mind. To do him justice, he was almost as anxious about Grace as was Keith, and welcomed Keith's suggestion that he should cross the lake and fetch her back. "Meantime," Keith said, "you and Jim had better get all the stuff you can into that cave. I'm fairly sure that the plane will be back tomor- row, and that we shall have to hole up. You'll be perfectly safe there if you have sufficient food, and you can remain there until Jim and I fetch help. Then I hope we can scupper the whole gang, and after that there'll be no one to trouble you." "You are a trifle optimistic, Mr. Marlow," said Arden. "The odds against you ever reaching Sundance seem to me very long." "Don't worry," Keith sald curtly. "We'll do it." Just then Gil who had been out- side came in, "The plane she go back. I see her over the mountains." "That's good," Keith said. I'll get on." Recognition He got on and did not waste time about it either. Unforunately for him a strong breeze was now blow- ing down the lake and the passage took nearly an hour. His arms were aching 'when at last he saw the landing, and Grace's canoe pulled up on the beach. He drove his own ashore beside it, leaped out on to a gravelly beach and ran through the trees. He came to a fenced clearing, in the middle of which stood a plain but soundly built cabin. He shout- ed but there was no reply. He open- ed the door and found himself in a large living room. Though the fur- "Then Whitby News In Brief Accounts of social events and of visitors to and from the town are appreciated by this department moved to their new home at 315 Mary street which Mr, Burnside recently purchased from Mr. Lovell. * X * Mrs. R.

I don't know how you got here but, since you are here, I'll ask you to equally silent." "We'll talk of that later," said Keith, "At present there is some- thing much more important on hand. Where is Grice Arden?" "Grace! I haven't seem her for at least a week. Not since she and het father went down river to find Gil" "She started over here more than two hours ago." "I've been out all the morning. Chan--that's my man--and I have been right up the valley to the beaver dam." He paused and look- ed round.

Macpherson at the TIMES-GAZETTE OFFICE Fake Flier Remanded A Week For Sentence On Fraud Charges Victor Bonar, of Mimico, was re- manded a second week for sentence yesterday afternoon in Magistrate's Police Court when he appeared to receive sentence for passing worth less cheques to merchants in town during the early part of the month. Magistrate Ebbs, in remanding the accused, said that in light of the fact that additional complaints were still being received against the accused it would be well to defer the passing of sentence until they had all been received. At his previous hearing Bonar was convicted of fraud by means of worthless cheques while posing in the uniform of an employee of the Trans-Canada Airlines. Evi- dence indicated that several local | 51 merchants had cashed the cheques issued by the accused following the | Th presentation of supposedly "authen- tic" credentials which indicated that the accused was an employee of the airline. Bonar was arrested in Oshawa by Oshawa police, following in- structions received from Chief Wil- liam Elliott of the Whitby 'Police Department. The complaint to which Magis- trate Ebbs referred to earlier was one received by Pickering Town- ship police from a Mrs. Bell who claimed that she had cashed two cheques for the accused only to find out later that they were abso- lutely worthless. Magistrate Ebbs told the accused that it would be inadvisable to pass sentence at the #ime since other complaints might come in and also in view of the fact that a warrant had been issued by Toronto Police Department officials for the appre- hension of the accused on similar counts.

Keith went through, but there was no one there either, thcugh a fire was burning in the stove. Keith was amazed. What had become of the mystery man and of Grace? He turned and. as he again ent- ered the living room, a man came striding in from outside. "Who are you and what do you want?" he demanded as he stared a; Keith Keith stared back. He saw a man some ten years older than himself, tall, lean, yet splend- idly muscled. He had plercing grey eyes, finely cut features and a mane of fine hair, "Who are you?" this man repeat- ed, and now his tone was distinctly hostile. Keith seemed tongue-tied. His eves were fixed on the other mans' face with an expression of complete amazement. A "Colin!" he got out a last. It was the newcomer's turn to express as- tonishment. He stiffened. "Who are you that call me Colin?" lie demanded. "Then you are Colin Anson. I'm Keith--Keith Marlow." Colin took a couple of steps for- ward, caught Keith by the shoulders and turned his face to the light. "Keith," he repeated at last. "Yes, you are Keith though I should never have known you."
