FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1 947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS b Tod Lintner To Toronto To Play In All Star East-West Contest Charles "Tod" Lintner last night was elected his team mates as the most valuable player on the roster of the 1046-47 Whitby Red Wing Junior "C" Hockey Club fol- lowing their elimination contest with the Gananoque team in Osh- awa. The vote was held following the game, on the instructions of P. W. Moore, President of the On- tario Hockey Association for the purpose of picking the Whitby player who will participate in the East-West Star game to be played in Maple Leaf Gardens on April 11, By virtue of the second ballot win over team mate Doug Williams, Lintner was named by the Red Wings as the man they would most like to see in action in Toronto:. The opportunity to appear in To- ronto was sighted as a break for the Whitby speed boy because, it is pointed out, that "Tod" played his last game of Junior hockey last night. He will be over the age limit for Juniors next year. Hockey scouts for most of the N.H.L. teams will take in the game with a view to spotting future prospects for their clubs. "Tod" works like a tro- jan on the ice and has a wicked shot that produces plenty of goals and he is an excellent play maker. One never knows what a hockey scout will do and it is deemed a possibility that if Lintner passes the scrutiny of the "finger" boys he could get a call from an N.HL. team, Stranger things have hap- pened. In the letter ordering the vote, which was received by Gordon Mc- Mahon, Whitby recreational direc- tor, President Moore stated that "everything possible is being done to make this All Star game a "Red Letter Event" in the hockey career of each participant." He added that the game will be handled by top notch coaches and managers and that the boys will be given every chance to make good. In addition to travelling ex- penses for the trip, the partici- pants will receive an adequate liv- ing allowance while in Toronto for the three day period as well as a sweater and a pair of stockings which will be retained by the play- er as souvenirs. In addition to the "C" group game there will also be a "B" group Junior contest and all in all it shapes up as being a fine chance for the lads from the smaller towns to produce on Toronto ice with hockey's big wigs in attend- ance. One thing is assured, "Tod" Lintner will take with him the best wishes of the entire town of Whitby when he makes his Gar- dens debut, "Tod" completed his last Junior season leading the lea- gue in both goals and total points and if he can measure up to spe- cifications it may prove to be the break he has been hoping for. $2,000 Or Nine Months Given On Mining Count Toronto, March 14--(CP)--A fine of $2,000 or nine months in jail was imposed yesterday on Percy Went- worth Graham who described him- self as publisher of Canadian Finan- cial Facts and Canadian Mining Facts, after he wag convicted on a charge "of acting as an investment counsellor without being registered as such."

Nearer War By Big Loan --Wallace New York, March 14 -- (CP) -- Henry Wallace said last night Presi- dent Truman's proposed loans to Greece and Turkey "will bring the world nearer to war." Insisting in a radio (NBC) ad- dress that "it is not a Greek crisis that we face, it is an American crisis," the former vice-president and Cabinet officer asserted: As one American citizen I say: "No loan to undemocratic and well- fed Turkey. No loan to Greece un- til a representative Greek govern- ment is formed and can assure Am- erica that our funds will be used for the welfare of the Greek people." Wallace said he believed the pro- gram outlined Wednesday by the President would cause American re- lations with the Soviet Union to deteriorate seriously, and he de- clared both the present Greek and Turkish governments were undemo- cratic. Parties Mark Birthdays of Three Children MRS. CHAS. WHITE Correspondent Thornton's Corners, March 13-- This is the week for birthday par- ties in our neighborhood for the young fry it seems. Last Saturday Marjorie Davidson entertained in honor of her eighth' birthday. Her guests were eight of her little school chums. They all greatly missed Nancy Foster, who was ill and unable to be present. Gemes, contests and sing-songs were enjoyed by all, ag were the goodies to eat, including "pop" and ice cream. On Saturday, also, Marlene Scott had a birthday party. Fourteen girls were there to help Marlene celebrate her 10th birthday. The rea] thrill of the evening for them was when the party was announced over Radio Station CKDO, and all the girls' names read out. Wednesday of this week Lloyd Hircock entertained 10 chums, it being his sixth birthday. They had hats and fancy baskets of candies to make a real party setting for all the other supper goodies. A hilar- ious time was enjoyed by all. Sunday School Meeting Today's Short Story MONEY TALKS By Fern Auble Q"FICER STEVENS was mak- nn his nightly round of the use district. The night air was oHsp and the stars blinked thelr brilliance across the sky. On the street below, the ugly tower- ing warehouses cast their bulky shadows across the déserted street. Suddenly, there cut into the silence the sound of a single shot. Stevens broke into a run. As he saw the open door of the Fromley Warehouse, he drew his gun. Hearing no sound, he made his way cautiously toward the dimly lit office area at the rear. Lying on the floor was the body of old John Walters, the watch- man. Officer Stevens had passed many a pleasant word with Wal- ters during his year on this beat. He knelt and gently turned him over. A groan escaped Walters and his eyes flicked open dully. He tried to raise himself as he recognized Stevens. 'Money ... pocket," and then with a sigh, he fell back. Officer Stevens, finding no pulse, rose slowly." "Give me the homicide squad," he told the telephone operator and then as the voice of Inspector Hunt came over the wire, "Offi- cer Stevens reporting, sir. There's been a murder here at the From- ley Warehouse. The watchman, John Walters, is dead." "T'll send a squad right out, Stevens." The Inspector's voice was crisp. "Stay there and have a look around. Report back with the squad." "Yes, sir." He put the receiver back and looked around. The safe, contents scattered, yawned widely open. Apparently there had been no scuffle, for the rest of the office was in order. A book of matches lay on the floor and Officer Ste- vens picked it up and, folding it carefully in his handkerchief, placed it in his pocket. Sirens announced the homicide uad and then the office was filled with police officers, the co- roner and newspaper reporters. Back at headquarters, Officer Stevens faced Inspector Hunt acre is Jes ' you anything?" * "Only this, sir," replied Officer Stevens handing him the carefully wra book of matches. And then he told him about John Wal- ters' last gasping words. The Inspector looked at the matches thoughtfully and spoke into the inter-office communica- tion phone. "Send Donahue in." When Sergeant Donahue came in, "Donahue, I want you to round up Fingers Lasky, Tony Casca and Lefty Forbes." "Yes, sir." "And see if we can find any fin- Serprints on this book of match- Next morning, the three men Inspector Hunt had sent Donahue out for were in the outer office, One by one he questioned them, and each of them had what was apparently an airtight alibi. Tony Casca had been shooting pool and could produce witnesses. Fingers Lasky had been picked up in Nate Larson's place and witnesses swore he had been there all eve- ning. Lefty Forbes said he had taken his girl friend to a show, as she would testify. There was too much evasion in Lefty's eyes and Inspector Hunt ered away at him. But many times to become rattled. Standing negligently at ease, his left hand reached into his pocket and idly started jingling coins. Something clicked in Inspector Hunt's mind, and his eyes nar- rowed as he recalled Officer Ste- ven's report of John Walter's last gasping words --- "Money pocket." Almost casually, he said, "That a habit of your's, Lefty?" Lefty looked puzzled. "Is what a habit?" And then as the In- spector's meaning became clear, he drew his hand from his pocket as he laughed and said, "Oh that, Yeah, I guess so. Anything wrong with it?" "No, I guess not, except that the man who shot the watchman had the same habit." Lefty straightened up and his face whitened. "Aw, you're nuts!" But his eyes were wary. There was a knock at the door. "Come in," said the Inspector, his eyes watchiny Lefty intently. Sergeant Donahue entered and handed the Inspector a slip of pa- per. There was a steely glint in his eye as he looked squarely at Lefty. "You're lying, Lefty Forbes. You killed John Walters, and here's the proof of it." hi | ro Er Lefty had bee: many times to questioned too me rattled. Sergeant Donahue moved to block the door as Inspector Hunt stood up and faced Lefty. "You're under arrest, Lefty Forbes, for the robbery of the Fromley Ware- house and the murder of John Walters." "You can't prove it, you lyin' flatfoot." Lefty's voice was shrill as he edged toward the door. "The old guy never saw me in his life. He didn't know me." The Inspector's voice sounded tired as he said, "No doubt that's true, Lefty, but he told us about your little coin jingling habit bee fore he died." Then he straight- ened and looking at Lefty with contempt in his eyes, he went on, "And if that doesn't convince you that you're in a spot, perhaps this will. You dropped a package of matches when you made your little call at the warehouse. Only a left handed man tears off matches from the left side of a book, and your finger prints are on that book of matches." Lefty's eyes were trapped as he made a rush for the door only to find it blocked by Sergeamt Dona- hue's bulky figure. "Lock him up, Sergeant," said the Inspector." A Sunday School meeting was held Tuesday evening at Mrs, Doug Lander's with 10 present. The su- rerintendent, Ted Robinson, pre- sided. Minutes of the last meeting were read. A letter was read from Mr. Wil- liams, Toronto, regarding his mov- ing pictures whicla we hope he will show here some time in April, Mrs. Lander reported for the play com- mittee, saying it was temporarily dropped as they were unable to get a man for the leading part.

It was mentioned that the Chil- dren's Aid Society would like two or three members from this asso- ciation. The date of the April meeting was set for the 16th, as the regular meeting date comes in Easter holi- days and several, including the teachers, would be away. This con- cluded the business. Mrs. Buss took charge and the following program given: Dianne Mollon sang a cuite little action song, "I'M a Little Teacup," ac- companied at piano by Betty King. Caroline - Buss played two piano solos during the program. Reta Tiers and Marion Davies played two piano duets. Miss Tiers also favoured with a piano solo. Interspersed between the musical selections were moving pictures. Altogether four reels were shown, first on Westminster Abbey and the others on skiing and winter sports. The last three were silent pictures, so Mr. Richards explained them and pointed out the high-*| lights as they went along. He also answered questions on skiing. The program closed by all sing- ing "The King," after which a bounteous lunch was served.

Swims Two Miles Helps Save Trio Boy Wins Award Hamilton, March 14--(CP)--John Green, 16, of Verdun, Que, has been awarded the Royal Canadian Humane Association's bronze medal for bravery. The award comes as the result of Green's successful ef- forts to summon aid for his younger brother and two other 'teen-age youths when their canoe over- turned in Lake Champlain off Plattsburg, N.Y. July 14, 1946. A second bronzz medal has been awarded to John Pilichowsky, Lady Lake, Sask., who saved two children from drowning, recovered the body of a third and vainly tried to locate the body of a fourth child near Endeayour, June 2, 1946. Endurance and splendid swim- ming ability aided John Green when the canoe in which he, his brother and chums were sailing turned turtle two miles from shore. Warning the trio to grimly hang on to the overturned craft, Green struck out through the choppy wa- ter. He managed to reach shore where he summoned help from a nearby summer camp. A motor launch sped to the scene and re- moved the marooned boys to safety. Pilichowsky's citation relates that while visiting a neighbor's home he heard a group of children calling for help. Dashing out, he ran to a farmyard overlooking a lake in which several children were strug- gling near an upturned boat. Entering the water, he swam 300 yards and reached three tiny heads frantically bobbing about. Taking told of one--Eileen Speniel -- he reached below and pulled up the tot's brother, George. Holding both, he swam to shore. Re-entering the water, Pilichow- sky soon recovered the body of Metro Kosiaschuk. Cramps halted his attempts to recover the body of the fourth child.
