Sen- tence p assed was on one of CITY AND DISTRICT PICKERING PICKINGS By DONALD G. CROSSLEY PICKERING -- The township's Beach rcad cows are going too far. Thev"ve been straying, in fact, into nearby Vista Gardens subdivision. Ajax constables moved into the subdivision this week to cope with the question of 20 cattle wandering about Emperor street and Tullock drive. While the children enjoyed the unexpected animal study, owners of flower beds and re- lated shrubbery complained that the cow these days has a strap- ping big appetite. Garbage cans, fences and traffic flow were also affected by the happy herd. Sergeant Fred Gallivan and Constable Tom O'Grady stepped in like true cowboys, rounded up the herd and put the escapees to pasture. Straying animals are always a source of interest to people in areas where the usual thing is to have them regimented inside fences and barns. This is not a subject for discussion in |Georgia and North Carolina, | where we've stopped our car to |allow huge herds of cattle, or {the occasional razor-back pig to cross a main highway. Beach Road Cows Going Too Far Assorted eagles and hawks buzz cars regularly on the New York to Miami route, making the motorist's trip interesting if not frightening at times. North of Chatham and Sarnia there are many reports of deer being hit by cars. The usual practice is to present the dead animal to the nearest children's shelter or home for the aged. In Pickering -- particularly in the village -- animal antics are largely restricted to the grow- ing rabbit population. They're huge -- and must number in the hundreds, according to the inconclusive reports from my neighbor's cabbage and carrot patch. The other day, he fash- ioned"a slingshot and bagged one at 20 paces. I lifted it and it must have weighed at least four pounds. It was gray, obviously well fed, and made excellent stew. Christina Crescent residents, including myself, have been con- sidering the legal and practical possibilities of organizing a rab- bit hunt, much like they have in Australia. In the meantime we have been attempting to build bigger and better slingshots. | { | | POLICE QUIET | The Oshawa Police Depart- {ment reported this morning {that in the period from 9 a.m. | Thursday until 8 a.m. today, {there were no break-ins or car {accidents reported to the de | partment. 9 AMBULANCE CALLS In the period from 10 a.m. A small skunk which could|2nd 2 pet dog were at an end.|three counts; Stewart was given| Thursday to 8 a.m. today the have been someone's pet, was) lodged in a cedar hedge divid-| ing the Norton's and the next|No one knows.

The latest theory under investiga- tion by The Oshawa Times THE WEALTH Monster Research Depart- { ment is that "Troggy" is a troglodyte (cave dweller), which in 1957 was made angry by nearby dredging operations off Bonnie Brae Point where he: lived. A woman told The Times that her husband dis- covered caves near the point and perhaps ""Troggy" lived there. Yesterday five Oshawa skindivers went to the point looking for underwater caves --and '""Troggy"'.

While working on a Harwood avenue road - widening project a massive Miller Paving Co. bulldozer caught an inch and a half connection on the four-inch main with its blade. The crack in the main caused escaping gas to throw dust 20 feet in the air. The smell of gas could be de- tected over a wide area. NO FIRE "There was no fire and re- pair crews soon took care of the situation," Charles World, Consumers Gas Co. district man- ager, said this morning. While gas crews were being| summoned to the scene, Miller! Paving employees assisted the Ajax Police Department in keep- ing spectators away from the area. Workmen were posted 100 yards to the north and south of the gas eruption warn- ing passing pedestrians to butt their cigarets. STORE CLOSED A nearby smoke and gift shop had to close its doors because the smell of gas was too great. Upon their arrival, Consumer Gas trouble shooters hammered a wooden plug into the hole as a temporary measure, until the gash could be permanently re- paired. Meanwhile, Bell Telephone maintenance crews were re- pairing a severed communica- tions line, which had been dam- aged by the heavy road build- ing equipment during the morn- ing.as a consequence of this CONSUMERS' GAS WORKMEN PLUGGING PIPELINE GASH Gas Crews Work Quickly To Plug Gash In Ajax Line mishap part of the north section of Ajax was without phone serv- ice for the greater portion of the day. All phones were back in operation by the later afternoon. The road widening and re- building project is part of the duel-bridge system hook-up over Highway 401 and the CNR tracks. REBUILD FOUR BLOCKS For three blocks, north of the highway, Harwood avenue is being completely rebuilt to serve more north and south bound traffic through the town. The heavy Miller Paving bull- dozers and payloaders are goug- ing out the road to a depth of four feet in order to lay a strong foundation. Traffic is being diverted through side streets parallel to Harwood avenue. It is estimated the project will be completed in a month.
