MARY'S GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH Po SIMCOE STREET UNITED CHURCH IMAN IN THE STREET Most Opposed To Resolutions Just as the proverbial giant parties are synonymous with the occasion of bringing in the 'inew year, the long traditional custom of making new year's resolutions come under the same category. To acquire an opinion of how people think about making the : resolutions, The Oshawa Times 4|made a survey of nine people seeking their Views on the ques- tion, 'Do you believe in new year's resolutions." The following contributed to the survey. ROSS SPICER, 589 Athol street east: No! At least as far as making the resolution at this time is concerned. However, I 4\think that the making of reso- lutions when a person feels that he or she ought to, is certainly f | practical. ST. HEDWIG'S RC CHURCH Hold Driver Responsible For Child Damel McEvoy, 673 Shake- speare avenue, told Magistrate Dnieper in Oshawa Magistrate's Couit Wednesday, the reason he struck a parked car was that his three - year - old daughter, Bridget, fell across his arms and grabbed the steering wheel. McEvoy testified the child had climbed up on the back of the front seat and then fell across his arms. His wife had tried to pull the child away from him but the child had grabbed the wheel and would not let go causing him to sweive into the parked car. Mc- Evoy said it happened so fast he did not have a chance to avoid the accident. Manning F. Swartz, counsel fow the accused, said this was not the usual type of careless driving charge and added that he thought it was more a mat- ter for a civil action to cove damages. Magistrate Robert Dnieper told the accused that the law makes him, the driver, respon- sible ior the actions of a child of tender years while the child is in the vehicle. He fined Mc- Evoy $25 and costs or 10 days in jail and gave him two weeks to pay the fine. 7 Drivers Admit Traffic Offenses The following fines were levied for traffic offences follow- ing pleas of guilty in Oshawa Magistrate's Court, Wednesday.

JOHN'S GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH The Christmas Cheer Com- mittee brought many a token of} Christmas to homes in Oshawa! this year. H. G. Chesebrough, City Wel- fare Administrator and member of the committee, revealed Wed- nesday that 763 cases received $3,707 worth of cheques and food baskets. "To our knowledge nobody in the community was passed by," Mr. Chesebrough said. AIDED BY CHEST The Christmas Cheer Com- mittee is supported by the Greater Oshawa Community Chest.

"They did not know what they were yp against when they started," he added. Many contributions by churches and service organiza- tions, as. well as individuals! Christmas Cheer Unit Assists Oshawa Needy and schools were also h by the committee. Most those were toys. , "I don't think there was a needy child in Oshawa, who did not receive toys," Mr, Chesebrough estimated. INDIVIDUALS HELP Many calls were received from individuals who wanted to help. One man called Saturday and said he would spend up to $100 on gifts for the needy. Some gifts were kept at Sim- coe Hall for last minute emer- gency cases, Mr. Chesebrough said. Four emergencies arise and were taken care of promptly. "We are glad to say that we did not have to turn anybody down, who applied for assiste ance, and was eligible for our help," he stated. Council will have to determine |whether this renovation should |be done as a major project. For this, debentures would have to |be issued and if these were issued on a 20-year basis at 6 convenes for its 1962 season!

Me. vxants Pleased With Business Oshawa. merchants found Christmas shopping this year much the same as last year, quantitaitvely as well as qualita- tively. J. C. Baxter, manager of the T. Eaton store at the Oshawa Shopping Centre, felt that the buying surge was of a general nature. People bought as much as last year, without any pre- ference for a particular kind of merchandise. He found that evening. shopping was quite successful, but customers came in throughout the day. "We were going strong every day, from the time we opened our doors to the time we closed. he said. Downtown, H. M.. Collis, of I. Collis and Sons, also was quite satisfied. He felt that busi- ness picked up somewhat when the strike at. General Motors was over. "We found customers buying quite openly," he said, Metropolitan Stores Ltd. re- ported their sales up from last year. "Specially in large toys they cleaned us right out,' said store manager, A. Goepfrich. He also feli that there was some last-minute rush, probably due to the strike. At the shopping centre, the S. S. Kresge store drew as many An improvement was noted at Kresge's downtown store. Man- ager L. E. Nancekivell thought this might be partly due to the improvements of the store last March. "We sold a lot of lingerie," he said. Heavy children's clothes had not sold as well. "Tt. just hasn't been cold," Mr. Nancekivell said. Two Women Flee Fire In Basement Mrs. Ethe! Baldwin and her daughter; Effie, of 79 Cadillac avenue north, were forced to flee their smocke-filled five-room brick bungalow shortly before noon Wednesday when fire started in the basement as the two prepared lunch in the up- stairs kitchen. Miss Baldwin said she smel- led smoke and when she went downstairs tv investigate saw the entire east section in flames. She was home from work at General Motors "nursing a cold." Firefighters estimated damage to the Baldwin home between. $600 and $700. Miss Baldwin, before turning in the alarm, rushed her mother into a car parked in their driveway. Mrs. Baldwin was taken to a neighboring. home while firemen, using exhaust fans at'the basement windows, Lf one having any definit lead. 13 NEW MEMBERS In 1962 the counties will have 13 new members.

One of the major issues that will come before the counties council next year is expected to be the possible modernization of the United Counties jail at Co- bourg. CRITICIZED BY JURIES This has been the cause of much criticism from countless grand juries, which have recom- mended major improvements, but so far little has been done in this respect. Deputy Reeve,! Campbellford; |d |would seem to be keen with no|original cost. The only alternative is to set aside an amount each year until |sufficient funds are available for ja strictly cash payment. Condi- tions at the jail are at times overcrowded, Jail Driver For 21 Days The only driver arrested in Osliawa during the Christmas holidays appeared in Oshawa Magistrate's Court, Wednes- ay. Edgar G. Phinney, 361 Drew street, Oshawa, was sentenced to 21 days in the County jail, when he pleaded guilty to a drunk driving charge. The accused, who had a rec- ord ot six convictions under the Liquor Control Act which in- clude three intoxication, two having liquor and one found-in, told the court: "It's not usual for me to be in this condition." In addition to the jail sen- tence Magistrate Robert Dniep- er prohibited Phinney from driv- ing for one year. Another charge of having beer was withdrawn at the request of the ciown.

Wesley Herbert as. the new) pastor of King Street United Church, will be conducted by Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada, in the church, Friday evening, Jan. 5. Mr. Herbert will conduct his first services as pastor on Herbert Oley, 19, was sentenced to serve 30 days. Both pleaded not guilty. Boyd Richardson, 57 Colborne} street east, an Oshawa high school student, told the court he was punched three times in the face Nov. 10 by two youths out- side his home. Richardson testified he had been driven home by his girl friend's father and, upon ar- rival, had been approached by four youths who asked the driver to give them a ride to Whitby. When this request was refused, they asked to be driven down town and, when this was also refused, one of the youths shouted after the departing car, using vile language. When he approached the group and asked them to move on, Richardson said, the accused Oley hit him in the face. The other accused Richards, kicked him on the thigh. When his brother ran from the house to his aid, he was attacked by the accused and knocked into a hedge. ° Richards, who has a lengthy record and is serving a two- year suspended sentence, told the court he did not start the fight and said Richardson had swung at him first. Oley testified 'he had been under doctor's care and had had a cast removed from his hand a few days prior to the incident. He could not fight, he said. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck said the incident was hooligan- ism of the first order. It was an unnecessary and vicious at- tack, he said, and asked for a penalty severe enough to deter not only the accused, but others who have the intention of fol- lowing their example.
