Serg- eant Ron Love had given efidence that Guthro had been found in the rear of apartments on Brock Street South at 1.15 a.m. July 31, with no reasonable excuse for being there. He had been held at the County Jail since that time on a vagrancy charge. Crown Attorney A. Hall advised the magistrate that the accused, who is seventeen, had prepared a written statement which was read to the court. In it Guthro claimed that he had come to Whitby to visit a friend but had been unable to locate him, He stated that he had gone into the lane with no criminal intent, but to find a drink of water. Mr. Hall also stated that an attempt had been made to locate the boy's parents, but that they had moved and left no forwarding ad- dress, It was suggested that the accused be held for examination but Chief J. W. Elliott advised the court that this had been done when Guthro had appeared in Whitby court last year.

RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED - IMMEDIATE 130 Brock St. N., Whitby Tel. 707 Wants Town Park On Lakefront "The people of the Town of Whit- by should have space for a park on the lake front," Frank Thread- gold told the council when he ap- peared before them Tuesday night. "It is one of the essential parts of a lakeside town." . As a specific suggestion he men- tioned the land east of the pump house and west of the Heydenshore Park boundary fence, stating that it would be suitable for a park, isn't built up, has a good beach, although gravel, and is the only property within the town limits both suitable and available. He said that the land measured some ten acres and had room for a ball diamond which would not interfere with picnickers and bathe ers. : "If our municipality is to double in population what greater asset can we have than a park on the lakeshore," he continued, "Don't let this property pass out of our hands or get built up. Look into this mate ter now," he concluded. Councillor Fred Twist said that the speaker should be commended for bringing the matter before the council, but due to the length of the meeting discussion of the sug- gestion was postponed till later.

Council Will Bid For Armouries Council decided on Tuesday to enter a bid for the Whitby Armour- ies, which is for sale, in hopes that they can obtain the building for a community centre, They were in- formed by a letter from War Assets that the building had been evalu- ated and could now be tendered on. The town's tender will be for the assessed value, which is $5,280, and with it will go the request that the building be sold the town for use in the community. It, is understood that several local firms are also tendering and council did not feel that their bid would be as high as others, but hoped for some con- sideration, Councillor Twist said "I think we should put in a bid on the Armour- jes and I move that we make a bid of the assessed value." His mo- tion was seconded by Councillor McNee. Mr, Twist also said that if the building could be obtained he certainly believed that it could be repaired and equipped with the help of various groups in the: town.

O. Ruddy Gave Des- cription of His Trip To West Coast 'The Canadian flag question pop- ped up at Tuesday's meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club when a letter from Rafaela, Argentine, was read, announcing the presentation to the club of an Argentine flag and ask- ing in return a Canadian flag. "I move we write a letter to Mr. King and suggest that he get a move on so that we will have a Canadian flag we can send to Ar- gentine," said Maurice Slichter, amid laughter from the rest of the members. From Argentine Rotarian The letter came from the presi- dent of the Rafaela Rotary Club, and was written in Spanish, A 'literal' translation of its contents was made and read by Dr, J, O. Ruddy, who was the special speaker of the day. The Argentinian ex- plained that his club had in their rooms the flags of all the Americas, north, south and central, except Canada's, and asked that one be sent to complete their collection. In return he sent to the Whitby club a beautiful silk Argentine flag, pale blue and white, about 18 inches by twelve, which was much admired by the Rotarians. The let- ter was turned over to the Inter- nation] Committee of the club for the appropriate response, although no one was quite sure which flag to send to the Argentine to represent Canada. Describes Trip to Coast Dr. Ruddy, who had already shown his command of Spanish by his translation of the letter, gave a short and extremely interesting de- scription of his June trip to the west coast, He explained that he made the journey, partly to attend the medical convention which was held in Banff in June, and partly to see the country where he grew up and went to university, and the . Canadian wes®. One impression of the trip was that tourist accommodation in the west could teach quite a few point- ers to Ontario resorts, particularly in the Rockies, He visited Banfly Lake Louise, and Jasper Park, went to Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle, and said that the westerners really know how to take care ol tourists. Fairyland Beauty He described the almost fairyland beauty of the mountain resorts, and the pleasure he got from flying all the way across Canada to Toronto, and concluded by saying that the Canadian west 1s wonderful and that the enthusiasm and optimism of the westerners sometimes puts the easterners to shame. Dr. Ruddy was thanked for his words by Dr. F, A, Cuddy, who sald that the description of the trip made him a touch jealous. 'Trailing Fire Truck Dangerous Habit Councillor Peake, who is also a member of the local Volunteer Fire Brigade told Council on Tuesday that a traffic jam had been the re- sult of the fire alarm on Monday night, and said, "Somebody is go- ing to get hurt if they keep it up." He pointed out that according to the law it is illegal to follow closer than 500 feet behind a fire truck and suggested that this rule be ad- vertised and then enforced. Councillor J. Wilson agreed with Mr. Peake wholeheartedly". and sald that drivers no longer waited for fire trucks at corners and unless they were warned there would be a serious accident in the future.

CONVOYED CHICK When frightened the mother woodcock often flies off with a chick between her legs. dog and, finding that their service station had been entered, started in their cars to search the roads around the station. In a short while Garnet tootled a "view halloo" on his horn and took after a car he had sighted speeding along a side- road. The chase was a short one and ended when the quarry slid in- to the ditch and bent a telephone post. Hunger pleaded not guilty to the charges and elected to be tried by jury. The Crown Attorney with- drew the charge of dangerous driv ing and bail was renewed at $5,000. ett ---------------------- Hit His Employer, Was Fined $10 Gordon Goodfellow of Highland Creek appeared in Police Court on Tuesday charged with assaulting his employer, Robert M. Bond, R.R. 2 Pickering. After hearing the evi- dence of the complainant Magis- trate Ross Hossack imposed a fine of $10.00 and costs. Mr. Bond in his evidence said that Goodfellow worked for him delivering grain. He had felt that his employee was not showing suf- ficient interest in his work and had spoken to him about it. According to Mr. Bond, Goodfellow had be- come abusive and asked for his wages. On receiving the money he siyuck his employer a severe blow on the chin with his fist. Goodfellow had entered a plea of not guilty, but after listening to Mr, Bond's evidence and before witnesses could be called to sub- stantiate Mr, Bond's statement he changed his plea to "guilty", Pensioners Hit By Dollar 1 Parity Fourteen ex-servicemen became members of Branch 112, Canadian Legion, at last night's meeting, and the plight of the imperial pensioner since the announcerhent of dollar parity was pointed out in a resolu- tion adopted. After James Fraser had been named as a delegate to the Imperial Division's convention, to take place in Guelph on August 18, A. Denyer explained that the pound had drop- ped in value, in Canadian money, from $4.86 before the war down to $402 now. He said that a lot of pensioners depended on their pen- sion to augment their salaries, smaller due to their disabilities, and "the lower the pound goes, the more privations they have to suffer." He moved that the imperial pen- sion should not be subject to fluc- tuation in the value of money and that the pensions should be paid on the prewar value of $4.86. This resolution was approved by the branch and will be presented at the Guelph convention and also by Zone Commander Frank Thread- gold to the provincial convention in September, It was decided that the sports committee would make a survey to see whether enough players were available to form a Legion hockey team this winter, No Mail Delivery . For Whitby Yet Council was told at their meeting that a postal delivery service for Whitby is not considered feasible by the Ottawa government, Reasons given were that the revenue ex- pected in a post office before de- livery starts is $40,000 a year and Whitby's is only $27,000, and that the number of calls should be over 00 whille Whitby's is just over Members of council were disap- pointed at this reply and Mr, Twist suggested that the local member be contacted for his assistance in the matter.
