The Hon. Gordon Conant, who addressed the gathering, said the organization of the Sea Cadets was a "splendid achievement in the de- fence of Canada and a creditable step on the part of the Navy Lea- gue of Canada". The speaker said that during the war there were 60,- 000 men in the Navy and that the strength today was little over 8,000 and stated that "If tragedy strikes us a great responsibility rests with the government." P. M. Pangman, Commanding the Ketch, publicly congratulated the Cadets on their conduct aboard ship and said "You have a grand crowd of cadets. I put them in over- alls and set them to work and they loved it. They polished brass, it rained and they polished it again. They are great sports and a well- trained group." G. K. Mitford, president of the Ontario division of the Navy Lea- gue said "I can only say thank you very much for giving ygur Oshawa boys this fine receptiof} This bas been a very fine welcome for them in their home port". The gathering cheered the boys as they disembarked and members of the committee and their friends were invited to go aboard and look over the ship. The reception committee com- prised of Hon. Gordon Conant, act- ing-Mayor R. D. Humphries, Stew- art Alger, chairman of the Commun- ity Chest; J. H. Beaton, W. A. Wec- ker, J. J. English, S. T. Hopkins and Murray Johnston all members of the Community Chest.

Police believe the gunmen slipped out of a ring of 200 officers on a { freight train after they had been | surrounded in a nearby stone quar- | ry. | Treasury agents and police said | they might have found some tell- | tale evidence, however, in guns, am- { munition and the abandened ban- | dits' automobile. About $1,000, bulk of the holdup loot, also was found. Police were checking the wea- pons and car for fingerprints. Uni- fed States Treasury agen's were tracing serial numbers on the guns, a carbine, three .45 calibre pistols, a shotgun and a sub-machinz-gun. The chase began as the gunmen left the holdup scene. A cnild who said she saw the men shoot a lock off the door, informed .a nearby Five Machine-Gun Bandits Shoot Two Policemen, Flee rid the chart and discuss tacking opera- Just off Oshawa, sails were furled and here three cadets fold the canvas and fasten to the boom with canvas gaskets, Here, from left, T, Clark, T.

As he stepped from the car he was felled by two bullets in the abdomen, Petersen crawled back into his car and radioed an alarm. Lt. Jo- seph Clegg and other suburban LaGrange police took up the chase. | They engaged the fleeing car in a | Gun battle during which Clegg was slightly wounded in an arm. The fugitives sped to the quarry and surrounding swampland where they abandoned the car. A crew member of the ' passing freight train said he saw three men board it near the quarry about the time the search began. He added that they jumped off, probably with some injury to themselves, in Blue Island, another suburb. PICNIC AT COBOURG The Bible Class of the Salvation Army held a picnic at Victoria Park, Cobourg, on Saturday. Games and a picnic supper weer enjoyed. 5 B.C. Fishermen Drown As Boat Hits Whirlpool Sirdar, B. C., June 28--(CP)--The violence of an undercurrent which sucked five carefree fishermen to their deaths in the waters of Koot- enay Lake Sunday meant survival for the 12-year-old son of one of the victims. The survivor, Edgar Hornseth of Sirdar, was thrown from the wild- ly-spinning outboard motorboat when the undercurrent caught it, and was able to swim to shore. His father, Henry Hornseth, 36, was pulled beneath the water with kis companions, identified as Art Rowsell, 36, his son Gordon, 11, both of Kimberley; Joan Kollman, 10, of Sirdar, and his playmate Buddy Annable, 10, of nearby Tye. Sirdar is 35 miles southeast of Nel- son, in the Kootenay District of British Columbia. Two drownings occurred near here. Young Horpset(r said the motor- boat's occupants re-started its mo- tor when the boat was 1,000 feet offshore. At this the boat, trapped in the powerful undercurrent, began swinging crazily, He was thrown clean out as it continued to spin and finally capsized. * The survivor said the party tried to. right the boat three times when th undercurrent was first felt. But the youngsters became panicky and caused the boat to upset again. The men and boys aboard were sucked beneath the surfuce one by one. Henry Hornseth, who lost a small daughter jast December in the same waters, is survived by his widow and two children. The tragedy proved doubly poig- nant for Mr. Rowsell's widow and two daughters. They were visiting Sirdar on holiday. They had lost their home at Kimberley during the disastrous spring floods which sent Mark Creek op a rampage of des- truction. . * & L 4 and each cadet was handed a duty | card which explained clearly the | function he would perform while] aboard. Duties would be changed from time to time enabling all boys to get overall experience of the operations of a sailing ship. A haze hung low over the Toronto | harbor and the water was unruffled | in the early morning stillness, and the calmness of the lake was only broken by the displacement of the craft as it slid from the pier and out through the east channel, In the lake a firm eastwardly breeze met the ship and Captain P. M. Pangman set the leds to manning sails. The cadets snap- ped to the task and smartly hojsted | the jib, mainsail, mizzen and stay- sail and the auxiliary 90 horsepower engine was cut. | With. the wind blowing almost | directly from the east tacking tac- | tics were required and the boys were | shown the theory and practice of | tacking. Several were given the opportunity to take a turn at the helm under the guidance of Lieut. Lee and Capt. Pangman. | Polish Brass Once well underway boys changed to overalls and were set to putting the craft .ship-shape, .polishing brass, scubbing decks, working in| the galley and the mess. The] cadets hurled themselves into the | task with amazing vigor and en- thusiasm. | For them, this was the thrill of | thrills, they were seamen, with a job | to do, a duty to perform and each | proudly tackled their individual | assignment. ! The 78-foot ketch responded well to the manoeuvres of the young | sailors but the head-on wind set | back the schedule for almost two | hours, a situation regarded by the | boys as a very fortunate situayion | for them and the Oriole IV docked at Oshawa two hours late. | The cruise was one of the first | of 50 to be made by the craft on | Ontario waters.

The new sections, | foreign group since before the war | to be permitted into the Dutch sec | tion of this vast island. on which work was started last| -- year, eliminate three "S" turns and | will serve to speed up traffic and | reduce accidents. | The first of the new sections of | highway is just west of Newcastle. | Here the highway fas been cut | across the fields to eliminate the scutherly jog and double turn at what js known as Curve Inn. The where the road turned southl23456 new section starts at the point where the road turned south and joins the old highway just west of the bridge over the creek. The two other sections are west and east of Newtonville. In both cases the new road eliminates curves and in one case makes a gradual gradiant of what was a steep hill. At the fourth Annual Rose Show of the Oshawa Horticultural Soci- ety, held on Saturday afternoon at Centre Street School, William Mec- Neill, 145 Roxborough Avenue, won | first and third prizes in the Best |in Show competition, while I: Cow- |ie, 125 Alexander Street, took sec- | ond honors. Both the first and second prize-winning plants were hybrid tea roses of .the new Peace While the construction job has not been finished as yet and the road is rough in spots, the new paving is a great improvement, New Signs Up At Intersection Of Ritson Road Steps have been taken by the De- partment of Highways to remove the confusion occasioned by the signs at the. intersection of King Street East and Ritson Road. Two large signs have been erected at the north east corner of the inter- section which should do much to off Highway 2A. A sign which bore the word "Osh- awa" has been replaced by a much larger sign with the words "Osh- awa Business Section" and an arrow pointing westerly, Beneath ijt is a smaller sign with the words "Bow- manville" and "Kingston" and ar- rows pointing to the east. The new traffic lights have also been installed at the intersection and have resulted in the elimination of the traffic tangle which occur- red at veak periods. Traffic both to and from the city as well as en- tering and leaving Highway 2A can now move smoothly and rapidly. TO PAINT BRIDGE Brockville, June 28 (CP).--The variety, and third place was taken | by a white Frau Karl Druschki specimen. A silver medal, given by the Rose Society of Ontario, with which the Oshawa Horticul- tural Society is affiliated, was pre- sented to Mr. McNeill, for the best rose in the show.
