Phone 703, All Departments TO CALL P.U.C. BUILDING TENDERS WEDNESDAY h 4 Hope To Begin Construction On New Building Soon In an announcement made to- day, H. L. Pringle, Secretary of the Whitby Public Utility Commission, stated that commencing on Wed- nesday tenders would be calléd for the construction of the proposed new P.UC. building in Whitby at the corner of Brock St. 8. and Col- borne St. In making the an- nouncement Mr, Pringle gave the first indication in recent weeks that there was a possibility that the building may be started soon. On previous occasions he stated that his department did not know when the construction would get under- way because of the difficulty in se- ouring necessary materials for the work and because of difficulty in arranging a suitable heating plant for the proposed two-storey build- a architect who drew up the plans for the building, John B. Parkin, of Toronto, has allowed for almost five times as much floor space in the new building as is now available to the P.U.C. in their present crowded quarters in the municipal building. Included in the new building will be plenty of room for storage, work shops, offices and garages. Although no definite statement has been made yet as to the re- quirements which the tenders will have to meet if accepted it is un- derstood that they will be called on a cost plus, a fixed fee basis, the method recommended by the archi- tect, Under this system contrace tors estimate the cost of the build- ing and stipulate the fee they are to receive for the completed job. the rise or drop material and labour, but the fee to be paid the contractor will remain the same regardless of the cost.

The building which will front on Brock St. 8. will, when completed, be one of the most modern build- ings in the town and it is expected it will greatly improve the appear- ance of the now vacant corner. The new building will be two storeys high and will contain num- erous windows which are expected to allow an unusual amount of nat- ural light into the building. The workshops and garages will be lo- cated along both Brock and Col- borne streets in which modern electrical appliances will be exhi- bited. 'Rick' Gets Ride Like Day In 18 Houston, Texas, April 1. --(AP)-- Capt.

The chauffeur, chief deputy sher- iff Jake Colca, grinned, "Don't you remember me?" he asked. "I was a marine sergeant back in 1918. I drove the car on that other wild ride too." Presentation Made To Mr. and Mrs. R. Thorndyke A surprise party and presenta- tion was made to Mr. and Mrs. Russell Thorndyke, of Whitby, re- cently by a number of friends and neighbours on the occasion of the Thorndyke family's move to Osha- wa. Altogether there were about twenty-five guests present at the event during which Mr. and Mrs Thorndyke were presented with a tri-lite floor lamp as a token of the esteem in which they are held by their Whitby acquaintances. Mr, and Mrs. Thorndyke are mov- ing to Oshawa shortly after selling their home on Walnut St. here to Dave Platt, of Whitby. The party and presentation caught the unsuspecting couple completely off guard and friends who attended said that that the event could not have been planned better. The presentation of the lamp was made in a short speech given by Mrs, Herbert Bratley, a sister of Mrs, Thorndyke. Following the presentation a so- cial evening was enjoyed during which the guests played bridge and indulged in many other games. A luncheon was served at the close of the evening. Annual Masonic Euchre Is Held In Brooklin G. M. WHITE Correspondent Brooklin, March 31.--The annual Masonic Euchre and Dance was held in the Township Hall on Fri- day night with a very large number in attendance. Mr. Harold Mow- bray, Master of Mount Zion Lodge, welcomed the guests and expressed the wish that all would spend an enjoyable evening. Mr, Leslie Hall explained the plan of progressive euchre and set the time for the games. Winners were, Mrs. Frank Ross of Columbus, with a 102 score, and Jeffery Bailey, 103 score. Lunch was served most efficiently by the members of the lodge, following the games. Roy Mowbray called two groups of six men to the platform and ar- ranged two humorous stunts which brought entertainment for all. In the first group each was given a bottle of orange to drink -- but not through a straw as is the customary method. © Rather than the straw there was a nipple and progress was somewhat slow. The winner was Will Medland. Other competing were H. Arkey, R. Ree- son, Roy Hall, N. J. White and E. Heron, The second stunt was blowing a balloon to the breaking point. In this group were J. Kane, R. Hag- gerty, F. Cox, E. White, D. Nesbitt, T. Kivell and G. Wilson. The orchestra in attendance was George Norris and his Georgians, with Walter Lane and his public address system. Their music was unusually fine and full of pep for the dancing and included modern and old-time numbers. For the spot dance the winners were Mrs. Edgar Croxall and Mrs. Herman Harris, SOME STADIUM The Ofircus Maximus at Rome could hold 385,000 spectators. os ION ENO NOW PLAYING Last Complete Show at 8:20 THEY WHAT I1 NEVER DREAMED WOULD AL] LEAD 10!

Munroe Dale, Rochester, New York, |! in which it was stated that his father, John Franklin Dale, had spent his early boyhood in the Whitby area, William A. Holliday, well-known Whitby octogenarian, wrote the following letter telling of his schoolday friendship with Mr. Dale. The letter written by Mr. Holliday is reprinted below in the hope that friends of the two men will find it interesting, Bditor, Times-Gazette. ! Dear Sir: In a recent issue of your paper there appeared a letter from F. Munroe Dale, of Rochester, in which he stated that the name of his father, John Franklin Dale, should be added to the list of local Whitby octogenarians still active and recently mentioned on the Whitby page. Frank Dale, as he is always known to me, was one of my public school companions from the time I went to Brooklin in 1878. A year or two later we entered the Whitby High School at the time when the late G. H. Robinson was principal. The late Robert H. Walks, also a Brooklin boy, who later became a high school teacher and still later an inspector for public schools in South Ontario, was the third mem- ber of the group which made the daily trip to and from school in buggy or cutter as the seascn war- ranted. In those days there were np snow plows or bulldozers and consdguent- ly drifting snow was a source of considerable annoyance. On one occasion I counted pitch hiles in the two-mile strip betweer. the fourth concession corner «: the Sonley farm to the entrance of the Town and I finally reached 1. total of 200. Two other contemporaries of our High School days who still reside in Whitby are Joseph King and Louis W. Richardson and then: may be others. Yours sincerely, W. A. Holliday.

FIRST ADVERTISED / Windsor chairs were among the first illustrated items advertised in early newspapers, I'll Be Good, Bill Bohozuk Promises Hamilton, April 1.--(CP)-- Wil- || liam Bohozuk, freed of two murder charges after 363 days of incarcer- ation, said here that from now on he is going to take the advice of his mother and Mr. Justice A. M. LeBel. The advice: "Be careful of the company you keep in future -- a man is known by the company he keeps." These were the words delivered from the bench before Mr. Justice LeBel ordered dismissal of Boho- zuk on a charge that he murdered John Dick on March 6, 1945, a dis- missal which came when the wid- ow of the slain man refused to tes- tify against her former boyfriend. The judge's remarks concerning his choice of company were "just my mother's old advice," Bohozuk said, "From now on I'm taking that advice." As soon as the "not guilty" ver- dict was announced by the jury the 28-year-old steelworker went to the lawyer's room in Wentworth Coun- ty courthouse and met the press in an interview in which he said he felt all along that under British justice "they'd never let an innoc- ent man hang." His time in jail, he said, - had been "a grim year." His counsel, Goldwyn A.
