Mr. Justice Edson L. Haines said the verdict was "a fitting one". He remanded Wilson to Jan. 22 for sentence and ordered a pre-sentence report. The pris- oner will also be examined by a psychiatrist. Wilson was convicted by the all-male jury of attempting to kill. Joseph Kloster, 33 of Osh- awa last June 22 with a rifle in the Queen's Hotel. TAKES STAND Taking the witness stand in his own defence, Wilson testified that after a conversation with his wife, Bertha, the night be- fore the shooting he believed Kloster had raped his wife. He admitted he had subse- quently been told this did not ; happen. Kloster was shot in the stom- § ach with a .22 calibre semi- automatic rifle. The bullet went through a beverage room door before it struck him. He spent almost six months in hospital and underwent two ser- ious operations which left him without a gall bladder and spleen. Wilson said he was convicted of seven counts of armed rob- bery in Toronto in July, 1949 and sentenced to eight years in Kingston Penitentiary. He also admitted a fraud conviction earlier that same year for which he received six month's probation. He said that after the con- versation with his wife he could not sleep and stayed up all night smoking cigarets. He said he bought the gun and ammunition the next morning and took it to a dump to try it out. Then be drove to Oshawa to find his brother-in-law, David Butt, 33, and Kloster. Butt testified earlier that Wil- son aceused him of_ feeding having intercourse with his wife. Wilson said he heard Kloster say: "'He's got a gun." He said he heard the gun gojb Club, its 18th year of continued pro- gress in hours flown, pilots gra- him whisky while Kioster was|duated, and air cadets trained and safety record maintained. manager, said today that the FREDERICK EDWARD WILSON, 38, of Hanmer, mear Sudbury, (in centre) leaves Ontario County court- house, Whitby, accompanied by two Oshawa detectives.

"T saw a hole in Kiloster's stomach and blood pouring out," said Wilson. "That's the last thing I remember until the next day when the Justice of the Peace told me I was charged with attempted murder." Wilson said he did not intend to shoot Kloster. "I bought the gun to scare him and make sure he would never rape my wife again," he said. "My intention when I went in there was to catch those pigs at the table, fire the gun into the floor and say 'I know now what you did to my wife'." SEEN CONSISTENT Robert J. Carter, defence counsel, said in his address to the jury the evidence was con- sistent with a man intending to scare rather than kill. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck told the jury it was the Crown's theory the accused was moti- vated '"'by a belief we know to be untrue and went out and shot a man", "There is absolutely no doubt this man shot Joseph Kloster and he shot him with the intent to kill him," said the Crown prosecutor. Mr. Affleck said Wilson claim- ed he had drank about 15 drafts and two or three pints of beer the afternoon and evening of the shooting, but three police offi- cers testified that he was sober when he was arrested. The prosecutor asked Wilson why he would say "I hope you die" to a man he had shot. "] was hysterical," he said. "| wasn't in my right mind, that's for sure." Wilson has two children be- tween the ages of two and eight. He testified that his wife is about eight months pregnant.

Former city alderman Wal- ter Branch told an Auditorium director's meeting Thursday afternoon his committee (the executive committee overseeing construction) is not satisfied with acoustics at the Auditorium. Mr. Branch said more acous- tic tile will be put in arena corners and the University of Toronto professor who recom- mended the equipment now in- stalled will be back to make further tests. Certain areas of the building are good as far as the public address equipment is concern- ed, said Mr. Branch -- and others are bad. « He said certain voices have proved well but it looks like experiments with microphones on the Auditorium floor will have to be made. Directors were told work re- maining to be finished includes hardware, cleaning brick, con- crete work, painting and land- scapting. Director Robert Wilson, who collects money for the project, said "very few 1964 pledges are the Oshawa police station cells.

The jury also was critical of the drunk tank being half full of bicycles and other reclaimed articles and a room containing the main electric service panels and alarms being used for sto- rage space. It is recommended that the cell block be remodelled to pro- vide better and increased fa- cilities; that adequate storage space be provided; and an ex- haust system provided in the garage. The grand jury said it was informed this was the first in- spection of the Children's Aid Society by such a body in more than 19 years. Jurors found three children in residence whose ages were four and five, "The building is old, impro- |perly ventilated and poorly jlighted," the report said. the jstaff includes a superintenden* and 14 others, but the only night staff is one woman over 60 years of age who is left in charge of the children. "The jury was informed she would probably stay in the tele- vision room on the ground floor most of the time." The child- ren's sleeping quarters is on the second floor. NO FIRE ALARM "No fire alarm or detection system is installed although several fire extinguishers were noted. In the event of a night fire the one elderly attendant might have great difficulty in removing the children to safe- ty," the report said. It said the detention room's windows and door were heavily screened, Jurors were told the room is used for the detentioa of unruly children. "The number of administra- tive and social workers appears to give the children an impres- sion of having 12 to 15 bosses." The grand jury recommended that the administrative offices be kept separate from the child- ren's residence and that suitable accommodation be provided for such residence.

(A directors' brief to the Osh- awa Centennial Committee has suggested $100,000 could be raised from city plant workers not yet canvassed.) Starr To Be YPC's Guest Michael Starr, member of |parliament, will be the special guest Wednesday at a general membership meeting of the Osh- awa Young Progressive Con- servative Association. Jim Sabyn, president, said plans for the year will be out- lined at the meeting, to be held in the Hotel Genosha at 8.30 p.m. He also said the Association is planning a membership drive and everyone is welcome to at- tend the meeting. Membership is restricted to persons between the ages of 18 and 35. Feed Units The Oshawa Naturalists' Club recently held its 10th annual bird census. The area under total of 22 persons in seven parties covered the area. A total of 3,972 incividual birds of 41 different species were ob- served. This is the lowest Osh- awa count on record. Feeding stations are being little used by birds, probably due to the lack of severe winter weather com- bined with heavy crops of natur- al food in the wild. A rare find was a Gyrfalcon (black phase) at the lake, which is the first time this species has been on the ONC Christmas count. A Snowy Owl north of Brooklin was of interest be- cause most of these owls are seen near Lake Ontario in our area. Other birds of interest at this time of year included: Flicker, Swamp Sparrow, Red- wing, and one Robin (last year 59 robins were counted). The total list of birds ob- served was: Mallard 5, Black Duck 35, Greater Scaup 9, Com- mon Goldeneye 60, Oldsquaw 79, Common Merganser 10, Sharp- Hawk 1, Red-tailed Rough-legged Hawk 5, Gyrfal- con 1, Sparrow Hawk 8, Ruffed Grouse 6, Ring-necked Pheasant 12, Great Black-backed Gull 3, Herring Gull 110, Rock Dove 115, Snowy Owl 1, Yellow-shaft- ed.Flicker 1, Hairy Woodpecker 30, Downy Woodpecker 37, Blue Jay 87, Common Crow 296, Black - capped Chickadee 265, White - breasted Nuthatch 13, Red-breasted Nuthatch 2, Brown Creeper 7, Robin 1, Golden- crowned Kinglet 20, Cedar Wax- wing 3, Northern Shrike 11, Starling 940, House Sparrow 663, Red-winged Blackbird 1, Cardinal 8, Purple Finch 102, American Goldfinch 625, Slate- jcolored Junco 208, Tree Spar- row 180, Swamp Song Sparrow 7. Birds Skip Scores of motorists had to walk, towing services and taxi companies did a brisk trade to- day as Oshawa went shivering into the second day of sub-zero weather. The low temperature for the Oshawa-Whitby area was regis-| tered last night at a Whitby greenhouse where the mercury dipped to 14 below. Further north it was even chillier as a Raglan resident stated that the thermometer stood at 16 below at 7.30 a.m. today. In downtown Oshawa eight below weather was registered at 7 a.m. and it was eight de- grees warmer some 9 min- utes later, according to John A. MacLean, Court street. The weatherman expects a balmy high of 10 degrees for the dis- trict' today. A spokesman for a local tow- ing service said that the sudden cold had caused "'havoc" with local motorists. "We have had a two-truck driver working non- Many Late For Work stop for more than 24 hours," he stated, "people have had a lot of trouble with their bat- tery and ignition systems and our staff have serviced at least 600 cars." Another towing company spokesman said: 'There is no sign of any relief, the calls for help are still pouring in. We have sent out trucks to hun- dreds of motorists whose cars just don't seem to have that extra little boost." DRIVE TO WORK "We are terrifically busy," said a taxi despatcher, '"'we are at least 25 per cent above nor- mal business, We are driving a lot of fellows to work who can- not get their cans started." The cold was accompanied by snow in some parts of Southern Ontario Thursday and is expect- ed here some time today. Skiers welcomed the heavy fall which blanketed the Mus- koka district last night, some ten inches of it. The white stuff also began to carpet the west and districts of Toronto this morning. The first real cold snap of the winter was caused by cold air flooding in from the northland, said a weather forecaster at Malton International Airport, who said that the cold air was brought down by unexpected winds, LOWEST READING "We expected it to be colder, but not that much colder."

Car Museum An almost complete set of On- tario licence plates will be de- veloped into one of the main dis- plays at the Canadian Automo- tive Museum. Jack Mann, manager of the museum said the plates were _|recently donated by H. F. Bald- win, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. The plates will be restored, said Mr. Mann, and a history of licence plates in Ontario is being prepared with the help of Morris Earl, Ontario registrar of motor vehicles, Another new feature of the museum this year will be a dis- play of Studebaker vehicles, Mr. Mann told directors of the mu- seum at a luncheon Thursday. He said although plans are in the preliminary stages the Studebaker company has offer- ed a Conestoga wagon, the first Studebaker vehicle (horse drawn) ever built. "We feel the museum has ad- vanced considerably in all as- pects," Mr, Mann told The Times. '"'We hope to expand our promotion, increase attendance and change and add displays this year." Last year 24,333 persons from all over the world visited the museum, The museum was open 8,000 visited.
