S. Ebbs as 13 local merchants and businesmen filed into court Friday, Oct. 2 tp press charges against Steve Jejne, 23. Jejna admitted embezzling a total of $374.75 in goods and cash during July and August by pas- sing 18 worthless cheques on the merchants, F. A. Mcllven, manager of the shopping centre branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, testified that Jejna and his wife {had opened a joint account in September, 1957, but had closed it in September, 1958, so there were no funds' to cover any of the cheques. It appeared that the cheque passing was the work of an ex- pert. Jejne had made small pur- chases at various times to gain the confidence of the merchants. ter he bought small articles and paid for them with personal cheques, pocketing the difference between the price of the articles and amount of the cheques. Crown Attorney A. C. Hall had previously recommended a psy- chiatrist examination be made when Jeina continued to pass the bogus cheques after he was ar-| raigned for the same charge and| released on bail. | Jejna told the court that his) counsel had withdrawn after this incident to which the Magistrate| asked if he had also tried to pay the counsel's fee with a similar -|cheque. | i Protective Glass Saved Worker's Eye John Rutkay looks as though {someone tried to give him -a FOSTER REPORT This is the second in a series of articles on the Fos- ter report. A. H. Foster was retained by the city to make a study of Oshawa's transit system, The CNR will cease operations at the end of the year, On Monday, Sept. 28, city council unanimously passed a recommendation, "that the PUC be requested to operate and manage the system on a basis to be agreed upon between the commission and the city." An {ideal transportation system, insofar as the public is concern- ed, fulfills the following require- ments: 1. Routes as close to and con- venient to a majority of the pop- ulation as poskible. 2. Frequency of service that will not require too long a wait for a vehicle. 8. Service at such times as extent, Review Of The Present Transport Facilities the overall earning pic-|chased fh an increased price to sey "5 A considerable number of operating companies enter into a contract with a tire company to supply the necessary tires and spares and then pay for their use on a mileage basis, the tire company retaining ownership of the tires and making the neces- sary repairs or replacements to insure that sufficient tires are (always available, This type of arrangement gen- erally results in considerable savings to the operator. The Osh Railway C now has a tire contract with the |Firestone Tire Company at a very favorable rate. In fact, from our knowledge, it compares more than favorably with the rates of other companies. Inquiry has made us believe that the Firestone Tire Company would enter into a somewhat ture. Whether or not the evening and other low earning hours of service are justified can be a matter of debate but, taking into consideration the convenience and even necessity of the same to a considerable number of people, it is my opinion that such serv- ices should be provided, even to the point that they have to be paid for by some means other than the fares collected. This also applies to the services gen- erally. Up to this time, the City of Oshawa has not been called upon to make any contribution towards paying for unprofitable hours of operation. .

McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An announcement which should be of special in- terest to the Ajax community is contained in the annual report to the shareholders of the Pye group of companies, leaders in radio, television and electronic engin- eering. This company has fits Canadian plant at Ajax. The announcement says that the £26 million company is to transfer control of some of its subsidiaries in overc~as countries to local sharehol y's. Charles Orr Stanley, the forward-looking| chairman of the Pye group, in| his annual report, says: "We have decided it will be better in the long run that con- trol of some of our Common- wealth subsidiaries should be in the hands of shareholders who reside in the territory where the businesses are situated. Such companies would thereby cease to be subsidiaries." WILL BE WELCOMED Commenting on this announce ment, the financial editor of The Daily Mail of London, says: his change-over will certain- ly be welcomed my Common: fer in the Inning had made the Pye Announces lization ture it means that the Pye ac- counts will only take credit for the actual dividends received, and not for the whole of the profits earned by subsidiaries | concerned. This will mean that it| will be difficult to compare the| figures with the recent years| once the changeover is com-| plete. But until the new basis| is established, says Mr. Stanley, Pye will issue special compara-| tive figures to shareholders." | | SCRIP ISSUE At the amnual meeting of the| group, Mr. Stanley cheered the shareholders with news of a one- for-ten scrip issue, and a fore cast of a maintained dividend of | 122 per cent on the increased| capital. Profits on the first half of the year, he said, were well up on the previous year's figures and| much better than estimated. Mr.| Stanley pointed out that the group had only gone part of the way on its road to expansion. "We do not intend to take maximum pro- fits out of the business, but to build up a strong frame and foundation for the future" he said.

HAVE TO BE CAREFUL "I'd have to see the mausoleum before 1 could make any come ment," he said. "But, flowers can decay and you can smell them in a very short time. We have to be careful about remov- ing them too. If it is done too soon we get complaints." A reporter from The Oshawa Times took up Dr. Gifford's suggestion and went to see the mausoleum Friday morning, It was clean and swept of all dead flawers,. There were only fresh flowers and fresh wreaths against the walls.
