As a great number of people have moved into Whitby since] the arena was built and will be asked to vote on the bylaw authorizing the town to issue de- bentures in the amount of $150,- 000 for the removations and im- provements to the present arena, we feel that they should know the story of the arena, when it was built, how i was built and its operation from the beginning. The old arena, known as Tay- * A citizen of the Town of Whitby for over 45 years, years in business here; Have served now contin- wously for over 30 years ot Eo one time or another, on i each Whitby boord or group; 9 Served 23 years on Whitby Conucil; 2 years on County injuries and other such troubles. The score was 26-0 which was by no means a good way to describe the game. Although several play- .lers, such as Brown, for Arena, was taken over by the Kinsmen Club of Whitby and operated for a couple of years, when a committee was formed to see if a new arena could be built. They asked the Kinsmen Club if they would sell the old arena to the committee for what was against it, which was $2500. This they agreed to do, and the transfer was made, The committee then collected approximately $60,000 from the people of Whitby, Oshawa, Pick- ering and surrounding district to build a new community arena with artificial fice. This, of course, was not sufficient to build a new arena. We needed another $40,000, so we decided to ask the subscribers of the $60,000 if they would be willing to turn the arena project over to the town if they would supply the $40,000 necessary to complete the project. This was agreed, and the town accepted. |vearly statements but these can be found in the audited state. ment of the town, published year- ly with the auditors' report. The above profits are in no small way the result of the oper- ation of the Dunlop Sr. "A" Hockey Club in our arena, which in turn makes it possible for the arena committee to make ice time available to the many groups using the arena at a very nominal charge and also the facilities of the banquet hall for meeting, teas, bridges ard ban. quets for the town and Chamber of Commerce at, in a great many instances, no charge at all. Since the arena was huilt a great many improvements have been added. Just to name some of them: 1. Concrete floor at a cost of $13,000 of which the Rotary Club paid $10,000. 2. New front and additional canteen facilities at a cost of out of revenue and there is noth- ing owing by the Arena Board, with the exception of the $7000 to the town, that eannot be paid and still leave a credit balance in the bank. This is why the Arena Com-| mission recommended to Council that they ask the taxpayers to vote on the Arena Improvement Bylaw, so that we would be able to provide much better accom- modation and facilities at the |arena where they could enjoy many of the attractions staged there for their enjoyment, and as treasurer I feel that, with the previous debenture now paid off and the arena operating at a profit, the municipality growing as it is, Whitby will possibly never again have a chance, as |they will have on Monday, to |vote to improve the arena, at such a negligible cost to the tax- payer.

Charged with having were Wil liam Henderson, 27, of Ashburn, and Robert Hill, 26, of RR 2, Oshawa. Chief Nickling said that he had searched Robert Hill's car on the early morning of Nov. 14 and found two bottles of beer. He said that Hill denied ownership but Henderson claimed them. He sald he took the accused and the two bottles of r over to the station, then returned to the car. When he next returned to the station, he said, he found the bottles empty.

Wil- liam Kellogg, 28, of Stoney Creek, Robert Hill, 28, of RR 2, Oshawa, and William Henderson, 27, of Ashburn, appeared before Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs in Whitby police court, PC Charles Daniels, of the Pickering Twp. Police Depart- ment, said that about 4 a.m, Nov. 14 he had stopped a car as it came from the rear of the IGA store on Pickering's main street. He said that the three accused were in the car. In the rear seat, he said, were four boxes, one covered by a coat. Since this was in Pickering village, he said, he had turned the investigation over to Chief Howard Nickling, who was called to the scene.

He said that he re- moved the beer, took it to the station across the street, along with the three accused, and re- turned and found the box miss- ing, which, he sald, had been on the floor of the rear seat. He said that there had been a suggestion by Hill that they had taken canned goods into their hunting camp. Chief Nickling said that he saw the cans of detergent in the box and thought it comical that the hunters would take that much soap with them. In defence, all three accused denied ever seeing the box of Ashburz, and Cameron Carlaw, of Brooklin, told the court they never at any time saw the box Wiis was introduced as an t. In their own defence, Kellogg and Henderson both said they had never seen the canned goods until it was brought to the police station later in the morn- ng.
