Today's Pictures In Today's Paper Today is a memorable day in newspaper history in Oshawa. For the first time pictures of a news event have been taken and published in The Times- Gazette the same day. It seems especially fitting that the first occasion when this was possible was the Remembrance Day service 'at the Cenotaph. Photographs taken by Camp- Many Attend Cenotaph Service "We are members one of another," Rev. H. F. Davidson urged as the motto for the world today, as he spoke at the Remembrance Day service held this morning in Memorial Park. Behind Mr. Davidson from leit to right are others who took part in the service, Rev. E. H. McLellan, Rev. D. M. Rose, and A. J. Graves, padre of Branch 43, Canadian Legion. Below is a section of the ¢ rowd, many with poignant' memories of the 1914-18 and 1939-45 world conflicts, who stood in the drizzling rain for the service. ---Photos by Ci I's 8 But U.K. Cops ELLIOTT GIRLS' CONDITION IS IMPROVED The coridition of the two Elliott girls, Shirley and Irene, aged nine and 10, injured in a triple-vehicle crash near Brighton last Friday, was said to be improved today ac- cording to hospital authorities at Belleville. In answer to a call from The Times-Gazette this morning, an official sald "they are out of danger and improving". This official said that it was not known when they would be allow- ed to leave the hospital. The moth- er and father of the girls, Mr. and Mrs, William Elliott, 398 Beverly Street, were also said to be on the mend from the minor burns which they suffered when the bus in which they were travelling collided with a truck and an auto on the highway near Brighton and burst into flames. The girls, along with 21 other bus passengers, managed to escape from the flaming gas, but the two Elliott girls suffered third degree burns, which were sald to be painful but not serious. Also with the parents was a one-year-old daughter, Eve-'| Delhi, lyn, who escaped in her mother's arms from the flames, Deny Threats Tondon, Nov. 11 -- (Reuters) -- Special police precautions were in evidence in Whitehall today as a spread of Zionist terrorism to Brit- ain was forecast, but reports of death threats to number of leading British public figures produced quick, official denials, It was learnéd from a well-in- formed source that Viscount Hall, First Lord of the Admiralty and former Colonial Secretary, had not recelved such threats, which had been reported in the London press. Viscount Hall's successor at the Colonial Office, Arthur Creech Jones also has not been threatened. Nor has Prime Minister Attlee received any menacing letters or telephone calls, it was stated. It was understood that the usual sec- urity at 10 Downing Street, Mr. At- tlee's official residence, had been deemed sufficient, and that no add- ed precautions were taken. The War Office was not prepared to comment on reports by Scotland Yard officials -that Field Marshall Viscount Montgomery, chief of the DENY THREATS (Continued on Page 2) bell's Studio at 11 o'clock this morning were d and the engravings made by the Oshawa Engraving Co., which is now in operation in The Times- Gazette building, and e fin. ished in time for publication on the front page of today's issue.
