Rink Programs (Continued from Page 1) responsible for general supervision of the rinks, personnel drawing up of schedules and assigning hours of use. It was pointed out that at rinks where there was no heated building, it would be impossible to provide a full-time supervisor al- though some coaching in skating and certain special events might be held. The chairman expressed the hope that all age groups would be con- sidered with respect to use of the rinks but Gordon Kirby gave assur- ance that this was the alm of the C.R.A. ' To Complete Jarvis Rink Mr. Kirby, chairman of the sub- committee in charge, was author- ized to proceed with arrangements for the completion of the rink now under construction at Jarvis Street Park. Earlier the Board had au- thorized the expenditure of $500 for a hockey cushion at this park and $100 each for simple skating rinks at Victory Park Road, Alexandra and Cowan Parks. Mr. Kirby re- ported that $236 had been spent on lumber and $150 on labor with lights and water service yet to be installed at the Jarvis Street rink. Tenders opened at last night's meeting indicated that lighting would cost in the neighborhood of $160 witheshades as designed by Mr. Kirby to cost about $30. The esti- mate given by the Public Utilities for the installation of water ser- vices was nearly $180. To Keep Within Budget With regard to rinks in the other four parks, Mr. Kirby said these could be built for $100 each if they were not lighted and if they were flooded by the Fire Department from hydrants rather than instal- ling regular water connections. It was felt that it would be wise to endeavour to keep within the allot- ted amount as the rinks were con- sidered to be something of an ex- periment this year. Invited by the C.R.A. to name a member to its advisory council, the "chairman of the Board" was nam- ed to this position. In response also to a letter from the CR.A. asking the Board to send representatives to the proposed meeting to study the problem of locating the airport building, it was decided the chair- man and as many members as pos- sible should attend. Meanwhile, Mayor "McCallum explained that while the City Council had agreed to purchase the building for the C. R. A. it had not actually - been ob- tained as yet as the Toronto Board of Education had also put in a claim for the building and there was contraversy as to which group | should receive it, | $15,000 Load of Tobacco Hijacked In Broad Daylight Top, Peter May, left, and Harry Johnston, his youthful helper, display the blindfolds used by armed hijackers when their Smith Transport truck was taken over by a gang yesterday in Toronto and looted of $15,000 in to the spot in Richview Road, Toronto, where two trucks and a get-away car waited for the transport. Police are shown procuring details of the daring job. toh: 104 Below, Johnst, 4 A Police Question Forty In Toronto Hijacking; $1,000 Reward Posted Toronto, Nov, 27 -- (CP) -- More : than 40 persons were questioned last night by police as a dragnet spread across the city and suburban areas for the armed bandits who yesterday abducted and assaulted Peter May, 30-year-old truck driver and his 18-year-old helper, Harry Johnston, and stole their truck load of $15,000 worth of cigarettes and tobacco. All tobacco retail outlets in the city have been warned to be on the lookout for a Christmas black market in cigarets. A reward of $1,200 was offered for information leading to the arrest of the gang. In what police describe as the most daring daylight hold-up here in years, May and Johnston were abducted in downtown Toronto as they left the warehouse with the day's deliveries. They were forced at gunpoint from their truck, bound and gagged and thrown into the back of the truck and driven to a country side- road where the gunmen loaded the valuable cargo .into two walting trucks, ° May was slugged Into uncons- clousness by the thugs but Johnston escaped injury. Assessor's Plan (Continued from Page 1) urban area is being assessed on a frontage basis, The per foot as- sessment on frontages is on a graduated scale running back from the boundaries of Oshawa and from Highway No. 2. In ma- king the assessment the type of buildings,' type of construction, plumbing, heating, ete. -are cone sicered, ; Some Too High Mr. Sparling stated that in a number of cases assessments which had been too low would be increased while others which had been too high would be reduced. In dealing with the urban areas this year it is proposed to take one-third of the assessment for tax purposes and by so doing to bring the assessment into line with the remainder of the town- ship. Explaining that he had spent two months in the Registry Of- fice this fall, Mr. Sparling said that a number of wrong frontages and descriptions had been found which would be of benefit to a number of taxpayers, Next year when the rural area is assessed buildings will be mea- sured and the character of the soil together with the accessability of farms to churches and schools will be taken into coacideration. Little change in farm assess- ments ig antizipated. Mr, Wilson informed the meet- ing that good progress has been made with the setting up of a new assessment system in other municipalities in the county and that the same procedure as is be- ing followed in East Whitby is being used, The Times-Gazette classified ads, bring quick results, Plan Christmas For Blind ] Here At a meeting of the Oshawa Ad- visory Board of the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind, held yesterday afternoon, plans were made for remembering at Christ- mas the persons under the Insti- tute's care here. At the present time there are 29 registered. It was decided to continue the practice began during the war of giving money as Christmas gifts. H.W. Henry, of Toronto, district fleld secretary, was present at the meeting and a number of cases were discussed with the Board, Money was allotted in three cases. The Board acknowledged receipt of its $2,000 grant from the recent. Community Chest drive. This was an increase of $500 over the amount received last year. Chairman of the meeting was Rev. George Telford. Judge Rules (Continued from Page 1) is the law." Mr. Lewis and the U.M.W, so far have made no attempt to show that they tried to obey the judge's restraining order of Nov. 18, which instructed the U.M.W. chief to withdraw his notice to the government that their work- ent was ending Nov. 20. Shortly after his sharp inter- jection, Judge Goldsborough re- cessed court at 12:30 p.m. ES.T. and cleared the room. Prior to the recess, Joseph Pad- way, general counsel of the Am- erican Federation 'of Labor, ap- pearing in a demonstration of A. F.L. solidarity. behind Mr, Lewis, disagreed with Judge Golds- borough's analysis of the law. Mr. Padway told the court that Mr, Lewis' lawyers had advised the mine worker's chief that he was within his rights in disregarding the restraining order, The justice drew a laugh when he remarked dryly: "The cemetery is full of people who took the doctor's advice." At another point, Judge Golds- borough remarked that Mr, Lew- is and the United Mine Workers made "a very great mistake" In walking out before the courts ru- led on thelr contract dispute with the government, Interrupting opening argu- ments for dismissal of ~ contempt of court citation against Mr. Lew- is, Judge Goldsborough said: "The Court feels that your act- fon in not waiting for a judicial determination was a very_ great mistake on your part." Judge Goldsborough said the real issue which the court hoped to settle was whethes Mr. Lewis had the right to break off his contract with the government, or whether under the Smith-Conally Labor Disputes Act he was impel. led to keep his miners on the job for the duration of 'government operation, 48,128 New Cars In9 Months Ottawa, Nov. 27--(CP)--Cana- dians took over the wheels of 48,128 new cars in the first* nine months of this year, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported today. Total motor vehicle sales for the period numbered 78,344 units with a value of $120,506,733. Passenger cars represented slightly more than 60 per cent. Sales of new commercial models in the nine months this year have outnumbered sales of new trucks and busses in the full year 1937, the peak peacetime year in.the market- ing of new vehicles, when a total of 144,441 units were sold, of which 30,166 were commercial vehicles. Passenger car sales, however, are far below the level of 114,275 nnits sold in 1937. 2 Elderly Folk Burned In Fire Ormsby, Ont., Nov. 27.--(CP) --Charles Malloy, '76, and his housekeeper, Gertrude Batchelor, 61, received first.degree burns last night when the frame house in which they lived in this dis- trict 55 miles north of Belleville was partially gutted 1 Ire, Miss Batchelor aided Mr, Mal- loy, who is blind, to safety after a can of coal ofl exploded as she was lighting the fire for supper. Both were taken to hospital in Bancroft where their conditions were reported today cs fair, Mr, Malloy was burned about the face and his long beard re- duced to a stubble. Miss Batchel- or suffered burns to te lower part of her body and legs. She took Mr. Malloy to a neigh- bor's house after leading him from the blazing room and then returned to help extinguish the T.B. Clinic (Continued from Page 1) for them to attend the clinic at any other time. Commenting today on proven results of such mass X-ray surveys as this, Dave Jamieson, chairman of the Kiwanis Club committee, in charge of the clinic here said Pro- vincial Department of Health re- cords show that.the incidence of tuberculosis can be cut in half in the next 10 years, provided the pregram of community mass X-ray surveys is extended to all sections of the Province. While the death rate from tuberculosis since 1931 has been cut by two-thirds, to 26.8 per 100,000 people, more intensified efforts are needed to reduce it still further. ' Contribution To Public 'Health Mr, Jamieson stated that the sur- vey in Oshawa and surrounding district will make a valuable contri- bution to the public health of the community by discovering unknown cases of tuberculosis and removing the sources of infection. He be- lieves that every citizens will ' sup- port the Kiwanis Club sponsoring the survey by availing themselves of the opportunity to receive a free X- ray of their lungs. ' Large community mass surveys have already been conducted in a numter of Ontario centres and the response of the public has been most satisfactory--over ninety per cent of the residents in some locaii- ties being examined. The discovery of many unknown cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and the fact that over 50 per cent of the active cases requiring treatment were found in the early stages prov- ed the value of such surveys. In addition, a considerable number of important . non-tuberculous chest conditions were found. It was pointed out that many un- recognized cases of tuberculosis are infectious and not conscious of be- ing ill. The insidious onset of the disease in the early stages with an absence of symptoms in eighty per cent of such cases gives no indica- tion of its presence. It is an accep- ted fact that an X-ray film of the lungs is the best method of discov- ering unknown cases. Tuberculosis is one of the most curable diseases if found early and' treatment in a sanatorium, started at once. Not only does the patient stand an excellent chance of re- covery, it was emphasized, but his friends and clese associates are pro- tected from the danger of infection. | 'Alexandra Park (Continued from Page 1) roof catching fire from cigarette butts dropping from the grand- stand, he said the tar and gravel covering should prevent this. He said, however, that if addi- tional precaution were desired, it would be possible to put asbestos sheets in the ceiling and cover with fireproof fiberglas. He added that mastic floors were proposed, It was the opinion of the majority that heating for the building might be an unwarranted expense this year and that it would be wise to proceed with the building without the heating although making pro- vision for its installation later. Asked when he would be likely to complete the job if he undertook it, Mr. Mayer said he would do the concrete work immediately and have the building completed by spring, The Board felt that definite esti- mates should be submitted before any definite action could be taken towards approving the project. Medal Award Is Announced Ottawa, Nov. 27.--(CP)--The Defence Department today an- nounced awards of the Meritor- ious Service Medal to Warrant Officers, Class 1, Alfred Thomas Odell, Royal Canadian Artillery, Toronto; Alfred Parkin, M.B.E., Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, Victoria; and ° George Kentfield, Royal Canadian Ordi- nance Corps, Halifax, The medal is awarded to ex- members of the permanent f .rce in or above rank of sergeant who are in possession of the long ser- vice and good conduct medal and have been discharged after 21 years of valuable and meritorious service, RSM Odell had a total of 41 years service when he retired to pension in 1941, having served more than 24 years ia the perma- nent force, 12 years with the British regular army, and three years in the Canadian Expediti- onary Force in the First Great War. He also served overseas for nearly two years in the Second Great War, He now resides in To- ronto. Bridge Accident Driver Assessed $25 And Cos Charged with careless driving af- ter an accident on the Albert Street bridge November 4, John Rogers, 380 Windsor Street, was found guilty by Magistrate Frank Ebbs fi court this morning and 'fined and costs or ohe month in jail, Evidence by Constable Thomas Shields was that he had arrived on the scene shortly after the acciden in which the Rogers car, proceed- ing north, had crashed: into the guard rail on the west side of the Albert Street bridge over the Can- adian Pacific Railway. He told the court of tracing the progress of the auto across the bridge by the marks it had made striking both sides of the bridge twice before coming to a halt near the north end. He add- ed 'that Rogers had been and that he had told the officer that he was not the driver of the vehicle. The accused said that he was driving over the bridge when an approaching auto driven by George Hart, 1135 King Street East, forced them to the curb and out of con- trol so that they continued across the bridge in a zig-zag manner un- til crashing into the guard rail on the west side. He said that striking the bridge the first time had put his steering gear out of commission. Mr. Hart's testimony was that he was driving south over the bridge and saw the Roger's auto coming from the south "in an erratic man- ner", zig-zagging across the road. The car missed him when he slowed down, he said, and crashed intp the north end of the bridge railing. .." 1 Increase Prices of J Chrysler Line Cars Detroit, Nov. 27--(AP)--Price in- creases ranging from $8 to $104 in Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto and Chrys- ler autcmobile were announced yes- terday by Chrysler Corporation.
