If they were, the extra team required would be wasted, ® ince it is not needed for heating urposes at present. However the hospital power plant as been, for the past two months, enerating more electricity than sual at this time of year. Parti- ularly it has been generating all ower for the hospital during the, hree hours each day when town wer is cut off. The 'government 1 have to arrange for more coal unplies at the hospital if more ywer is generated there. Another suggestion was that the svernment could install consider- Bly more generating equipment to e attached to existing boilers and his. larger installation would go a ery long way to alleviating the Shower shortage here. The commission also heard a re- ort from its superintendent H. L. rinele that Whithy has been go- ng over its quota daily by amounts anzing from 100 kilowatt hours to 20. The situation now is that On- ario hydro will cut Whitby off an i onal period each day if the Y four o'clock daily and work- ; Saturday mornings was also dis- sed. One suggestion which was vanced was that the work week hould be advanced to include Sat- $lurday and Sunday which days there s ample power, and that Monday nd Tuesday be used as days of est. - Conducts Services REV.

He pleaded not guilty on two similar counts. - ° Lintoh was involved in two fights in the early morning of October 130, one at Ajax and the other at : Pickering. The first affair started outside the Legion Hall at Ajax about 12.20 am. Provincial Constable McLean answered a call and when he ar- rived Linton and a Gordon McNeil were rolling in the road. Linton's defence, that he was attacked by McNeil was backed up by witness Frank Brown, Pickering township farmer. Linton said that he had consumed six or seven" beers that night.

Who Got The Pucks Is Unanswered In Theft Suit Stolen ducks, Hallowe'en pranks, an imaginary shooting were all in- ter-woven in the court hearing yes- terday when Clifford Marnien and his wife Bernice of Oshawa, faced a -theft charge. Police investigation had shown that some ducks missing from the farm of J. J Fleming, Rossland Road, had been stolen. A second charge of theft of wheat against the pair was withdrawn when Clifford was convicted on the first count. "There is no evidence that Mrs. Marnien was implicated in the theft," said Magistrate F. S. Ehbs. "So I dismiss the charge against her." Marnien was fined $10 and costs or ten days. He said yesterday that he had no money. First witness, farm owner J. J. Fleming of Oshawa, stated that ac- cused had left his employ last Sat- urday. He had been hired on Sep- tember 21 this year, as farm man- ager. "I think there were 96 ducks on the farm when he took over," said Fleming. "Last Saturday I had only 49." All that had been authorized to be killed for Thanksgiving were five, two braces to be sent to two friends and one duck to Mr. Jenkins, the former owner, Allin F. Annis, K.C., counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Marnien asked Mr. Fleming if it were not true that the barn was 150 yards from the house and also near the railway so that if a theft had taken place, it would not have been heard. Mrs. W. Larsen, 88 Montrave Avenue, Oshawa, sister of Mrs. Marniep said that on October 10, the day before Thanksgiving, she went to the farm with two sisters and others. At that time Marnien ° | ottered two ducks and they were accepted, He said that there were THEFT SUIT (@ontinued on Page 2) Births DEWSBURY--Mr. and Mrs. F.

Dear Sir: * A few days ago there was a small matter of street repair which need- ed attention near my house. After speaking to the .works supervisor, Mr. Gordon Davis, about it he agreed that it could be fixed with- out much trouble or expense, and I was surprised to find that this work was carried out the very next day. I wish to express my apprecia- tion of this quick response and | would like to say that on other occasions also I have reason to know | that Mr. Davis is attending to his! duties with conscientious attention. Therefore I think it is only right that credit be given to him and the | Whitby employees when it is due. | Too often we hear them criticized | by 'people who don't know the facts. | Yours sincerely, Wd Whitby Citizen.

J Hallowe'en Prank Brings Pair One Year's Probation Two teen-aged boys who had been drinking on Hallowe'en night were convicted and given suspended sentence in magistrate's court yes- terday on a "public mischief" charge. The hoax had. been per- petrated by Clarence William Smith by J. J. Fleming at the time and by Cecil Winacott of Oshawa who had been spending the weekend at the farm. The two claimed that the farm premises had been "invaded" by prowlers who fired .22 rifle bul- lets. In court last week, they ad- mitted the story to be a fabrication and were remanded. "Of course, what actually hap- pened was not as serious. as was set out in the press," said Crown At- torney Alex Hall, recommending a light sentence. "I feel that there is something about this case which has not Been brought out yet," commented Magis- trate F. S. Ebbs. Smith, 18, had a previous record including 'a one year sentence for car theft at Cobourg. He had been released last June. In passing sent- ence Magistrate Ebbs noted that both lads had already spent a week ins jail. He called it a "foolish es- capade for which there was pos- sibly some provocation." They were placed on probation ofr one year. Ronald Love of the Whitby Poiice who was living on a farm owned [TUNE remaris New Power Cut Schedule Set Starting Monday Faced with the necessity of saving even more power in Whitby, the local Utility Commission last night decided to change the hours of cut-offs to accomplish this. Start- ing Monday (or sooner if forced to by Ontario Hyd%o) the hours will be: 6:30 to 7 a.m.; 12:15 to 1 p.m. and 4 to 4:30 p.m. Though the total adds to 15 minutes less than ' 'clock stoppage means that the present cuts, the four o local industry will be forced to close down between four and five o'clock, five days a week. They can make the work week up on Saturday or Sunday if they so desire. Besides the added saving whiche is expected, it is hoped by the com- mission that the new hours will | meet with more public favor than the former choice of switch-off times. Resenting recent criticism by the town council that it is taking no action in the present power shor- tage, the commission authorized its secretary to prepare a letter stating what has, and is being done.

Ebbs yesterday charged with causing a disturbance in a local business place. He entered a plea of not guilty. Baill was set at $500. After Burr mgde some remarks to the court, the crown attorney told Burr, "If you adopted the same attitude | to the peojle you got in trouble with as you are doing here, it cer- | tainly would prove the charge."
