Police parties stopped dragging last week. Together with his other son, Fer uncle of the drowned youth, the father has rented boats and conducted the search under the anxious eyes of aunts and friends of young Murphy, who each day have gathered on the Baik to watch the progress of the search, Aiding the father in his heart- | breaking task, a young friend of Harry Murphy, Ernest De Fauw, has provided lodging at his cottage for the relatives, since the drowning, De Fauw was a member of the bathing party which ended so tra- gically, and he repeatedly dived in- to the deep icy waters trying to save his chum, Local residents say the lake 1s spring fed and has an underground outlet, There are strong currents under the surface of the water, It is known to be 500 feet deep in places.

P. Locke, K.O,, yesterday morn= ing, he charge arose out of a colli- sion July 12 on No. 2 Highway, & mile west of Whitby, in front of the accused man's driveway.

Guy was not insured and his car re- celved only minor damage. McLean claimed that Guy had stopped and when he was about to pass him the latter suddenly turned north causing the collision, Guy, on the other hand testified that he let one car go by and then, when McLean apparently hesitated, he turned into his driveway at the same time the other driver at- tempted to pass him, Cecil Thompson, Cherry Valley, a transport driver called as witness by Provincial Constable CG. Robertson, who laid the charge stated he had been driving behind Guy when the Iatter stopped and let one west bound car go by, then "stepped on the gas and crashed into McLean", Ivan Barrett, another transport driver who had been behind Thomp- son, was called by the Crown, but sald he was too far away to see anything but the actual crash, Provincial Constable Robertson told the court he had trouble talk- ing to the accused when he inves- tigated the accident. "At his age they can't tell whether they are right or wrong," he sald, 'He was just trying to make sure you got his side of the story pointed out A, W, Greer, who was conducting the defence, All witnesses agreed that McLean was about 50 feet away when Guy's car was stopped.

It is believed that there are double or treble that number of would-be motor car purchasers who are without priorities. Oharges were made by Toronto motor oar dealers ay that priorities, issue of which was out off Aug. 1, were being sold for black market prices as high as $400 each, Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials ohallenged this statement and maintained that every possible precaution was taken to ensure that o were sold only on priori» ties bearing the name of the actual of purchaser, Supply situation of Fords in the Toronto area is going to be grim until the end of August at least, said an official in the sales depart- ment at the Leaside plant, Toronto has had more than its share of Fords in the past six weeks, and the company must devote most of its meagre production to Provincial outlets for the remainder of the month, "We may have to close on Aug 156 because of the rubber and steel situation," the salesman warned, "The president of the company, has warned that we're not getting enough stel to carry on even our present production." New Deala: Best Chance He suggested that now dealers, who had not begun business when the priority rush was at its height, might be best able to supply cars, Scme of them, apparently, did their best to avoid the pile of paper which fills the desks of the established middlemen, An instance was cited in which the change of regulations had made the invocation of Ottawa authority necessary, A oustomer without a priority had ordered a special truck The dealer got the chassis, then turned it over to a body-bullder, The job was completed, even to the lettering of the prospective purcha=- Bread Co.

"Our total production is from 450 to 600 units per day," the official said, "but half of it is earmarked for export. Production in July was the best for any month since the end of the war, Also, our dally pro duction rate is probably higher than that of any company in the United States."

Many of these plants were in the "At present, we have to ship our heavier cars and many our trucks without tires," the spokes. man sald, "Our stocks are getting very low, We may be able to carry on to the end of this month, but it is difficult to say, The ploture is constantly changing and the whole industry is. operating on a day-to day basis."
