First Litigation 'From Accidents On New Highway Hearing began in Whitby today of what is believed to be the first damage action arising out of an ac- cident on the Oshawa-Highland Creek dual highway. When Provincial Constable Gil- bert Robertson told Mr. Justice G. A. Gale that this was the first acci- dent he knew of on the highway which had resulted in court action, His Lordship remarked: "Then we are properly inaugurating. litigation in connection with the highway a | week after its opening." "We were waiting for it to be de- Your Lordship," added 'A. counsel for Jaintiff. The action, brought by Robert A Ballantyne, of Napanee, is the re- sult of a collision at the intersec- tion of the Fairport Beach road and | | the then unpaved divided highway { on November car and one driven by David Gow, | 18, 1945, between his of Toronto. The plaintiffs case was concluded this enorning and the defence, con- ducted by Harry A. Newman, K.C., was to proceed this afternoon, Ballantyne told the court he en- | tered the dual highway at Highiand Creek and first saw the Gow car on the Fairport Beach road 150 to 200 feet north of the north lane of the highway. "It continued southward to the north lane," he stated, "It failed to the | ing slowly and crossed the boule- vard, It failed to stop again and came on to the south lane." Ballantyne added that he had slown his horn when the Gow car was on the boulevard. When the latter entered the south lane Bal- lantyne had applied his brakes and his car skidded, colliding with the Gow vehicle in the middle of the road, > He said he had been travelling at approximately 45 miles per hour and slackened to between 50 and 35 m.ph, on seeing the Gow car. Mrs. Josephine Ballantyne, wife of the other plaintiff, said the Gow car crossed the south part of the road and the boulevard without changing its speed. Asked if the car stopped before entering the north or south lane, she said it did not. . Mrs. Ballantyne was thrown against the windshield in the im- pact, suffering severe lacerations. She said her legs ere also badly bruised and her back was wrenched. Dr. Ernest Ellicott, of Napanee, who treated Mrs. Ballantyne, said she had numerous cuts about the forehead and her legs were 'well bruised." Norman Richardson, garage oper- ator, whose bill for repairing the Ballantyne car amounted to $451.- 12, estimated that the value of the vehicle was depreciated approxi- mately $200 as a result of the acci- dent. ? Provincial Constable Robertson testified that he found the Ballan- tyne car in the middle of the south lane and the Gow car in the south ditch, The officer said Gow told him he had proceeded onto the highway without stopping and had not seen the other vehicle ap- proaching.

A com- plete organization exists in each district, waiting word from a cen- tral office before swinging into ac- tion. The central office, after study- ing weather reports and the actual weather conditions, makes decisions on what type of equipment to use and then communicates with dist- rict foremen. Even if all equipment were hous- ed in a central warehouse, the or- ganization of personnel in special districts was a key factor in bat- tling snowstorms, Mr. Dempsey pointed out. This type of organi- zation meant that the men in each district became familiar with the obstructions in the area and learn. ed methods of combatting them-- thus speeding snow removal work District by district organization, which fitted into the pattern of a large city, could not be duplicated here, Mr. Dempsey added, although some part of the technique might be applied. Despite continuous study of the problem and the resultant change in methods and organization, both cities still saw room for improve- ment. and both felt the need for more equipment. Both Ottawa and Montreal intend to abandon their equipment as soon as motor-driven vehicles are available to replace it. At present, Montreal is using a good many horse-drawn ploughs for sidewalk snow removal. Hawling costs constitute a major item of expenditure, Mr. Dempsey | said, and consequently both cities are making every effort to dispose of as much snow as possible within close range of removal operations. Montreal uses its sanitary sewer system as an avenue for disposal of a good deal of snow. In Oshawa the sewers are simply not large enough to be used in this way, Mr. Demp- sey added. Ottawa utilizes steep banks and cliffs along its rivers as dumping. grounds for much of its snow. Both | cities make use of vacant lots, front { lawns to some extent, and even wide boulevards as disposal grounds for snow, collected by the blower | method. A far as types of equipment are concerned, Montreal attaches great importance to what is known as an underbody scraper mounted on a powerful truck which ! is able to scrape off a good deal of the ice which coats city streets after a melting period and subse- | quent freeze-up. For sanding operations, Montreal uses pends on traffic to break them down. The city's cinder supply is easily obtained from losal industrial plants, Ms. Dempsey added, frienfec nile cut po worth Merch e W All sary on 2 ic make Gifts at gels dis erche al n uced hin Ng BL by vo. _ prow wn Sy m ns ha alf v of ite ems Yinco eo, PIUS nird BY oi sav Many B a Hundre fax. . iter ems at peg gf, PIS is orien LL sie Tin pe bc ON op Pr "n OX Tom east ow WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1947 Says Canada Has Brilliant Future Ahead Don. Henshaw, aw, Field Manager of the McLaren Advertising 'Company Li.nited and although only a Cana- dian citizen since the war years but already regarded as one of Canada's outstanding boosters and enthusiastic patriots, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club on Tuesday. * Kiwanian L. M. Souch intro- duced Donald Henshaw, briefly re- viewed his early life and academic career, told of the Florida-born American taking out Canadian citi- zenship and of his personal contri- bution to Canada's war effort. Canada's New Status "You are native born Canadians and perhaps have accepted with complacency, your Canadian .citi- zenship," declared Don. Henshaw, at herse - drawn | equipment | irly coarse cinders and de- | the outset of his stirring and chal- | leng ing message to the Kiwanians, | which he aptly termed "Our | Canada." | "All who have long considered | themselves Canadian citizens. must now feel a yew or revived pride and | interest, for" it is only in the last | | 12 months that the national citi- | zenship of Canada has been estab- lished. . As an interesting observation to | the theme of his talk, gave in. critically humorous vein, a | vivid description of his own dull and sterectyped experience in ob- taining Canadian citizenship papers. "Not once in the entire procedure, by any cof the persons with whom | I had dealings, was I 'welcomed to | Canada' and made to appreciate | the privilege which was mine," he declared. Referring to the new procedure in vogue, which he had observed recently at a - British Columbia official citizenship cere- mony, he declared that great pro- gress had been made. Have Come Long Way "We have come a long way from 1939 to 1947 and proud as we are | that we are British subjects, we are perhaps even prouder to say 'l am_ a Canadian'," declared Don Henshaw. . I' "If there is one characteristiz that will stamp a Canadian as such, no matter where you meet him c¢ her in the world, is the stateme: ~ 'It's not bad'," observed the speaker, as he remarked on the typical Bri- tish tradition of depracating ob- servations ands comments, even compliments. "Canada grew in wartime more | than in a century. Canada becam' |an honored brother among nations, | | cere and apt manner | thanks the speaker | not a child or nephew of another nation," stated the speaker. "You and I share a love of all things that are Canadian, you are Canadians and are proud of it," he said as he referred to the various small differentes, arguments anA varied opinions which are held t* different groups, different sectior®| and different provinces In the Dominion, all of which are sub- | merged however in a common prid* | and love of our great country. Painting a vivid word picture, of the beauties, wealth in natural re- sources and vast space of the Dominion, Mr. Henshaw referred té Canada as "this, which is a richer empire than any a story-book king of ancient days ever possessed." "It's a beautiful land, it's a rich land, magnificent in its potentiali- ties for tomorrow." Future in Our Hands "The wealth of Canada is its people and with their minds, hands and hearts, they can shape a des- tiny that is unsurpassed," he de- clared in his closing remarks. "This is a blessed land and no matter what changes history of the queer twistings of economy and world af- fairs: may bring us, we shculd and must live our lives and conduct ourselves here and in the world in such a way that we will give all oth- ers who wear the name Canadian, reason to be proud that we too are Canadians," Kiwanian Hugh Davidson, in sin- voiced the and appreciation of the Kiwanians to the speaker. Speaker Stresses Urgency Of Evangelization "Can Christ return to%earth be- fore the world has been evangel- ized?," was the question d~zit with by Dr. Oswald Smith of The People's Church last night in First Baptist church, The Cris- tian Business Men's Committee were responsible for bringing the noted. author and speaker to Osh- awa, when a capacity crowd were challenged by his inspiring mes. sage, br, Smith stressed the urgency of evangelization in this genera- tion as the only means of bring- ing Christ's kingdom on earth. St, Mark 13:10 furnished the an- swer to his question. He pointed out that too often has the church engaged in secondary matters to the neglect of Christ's great com. | mission to preach the gospel to | every creature. To substantiate this he stated that over 65 per- cent of the world's people are still without a missionary. He ur- ged his audience to devote their time and energies to.the task of evangelization in our day. The girls' octette from Peo- ples Church, under the leadership of Mr, Frank Trenchard and Miss Barbara Petch, whistler, assisted in the service. The election of the 1948 exe- | ter | cutive for Oshawa C.B.M.C. took place after the meeting. George Humphries was elected as chairman; A. Owen and O. Sharrard, vice-chairmen; E, R. Stacey, treasurer; V., A, Henkel- man, secretary. Also elected to the executive were A. Goldsmith, J. Hooper, A. R. Alloway, J, Orr, H, B. Wilson, O. A, Lint and A. G. Davis, LATEST SHIPPING DATES The importance of expressing Christmas parcels to points in Can- ada at an early date was stressed here by George H. Griggin, man- ager of the Express Traffic Associa- tion of Canada.
