No Evidence Dismisses DrivingCount A careless driving charge against Henry Gaskins, Whitby, was dis- missed by Magistrate Russel P. Locke, in Whitby Police Court yes- terday, on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence. The charge was laid as the re- sult of an accident which occurred in Whitby on July 27th, involving the car of the accused, and that of John Berlett, Whitby, in which the Berlett, car suffered damage es- timate at $30. Sgt. Ron Love, of the Whitby Police Force, who investigated the accident, testified that he had found the accused in his car, waiting for a red light at the main interesection, following the accident. Upon.inves- tigating, he was able to identify the car of the accused as that which had pulled away from the curb to strike the Berlett car, by the tire marks in the set sand beside the curb. When asked to produce his driver's license, the accused was abusive, Sgt. Love stated, and when informed that a charge would be laid, he told the officer, "go ahead, I'll get you, Ill fix you". He also admitted pulling away from the curb and striking the Berlett car. Sgt. Love also stated that he had not seen the accident, but. had in- vestigated it after being informed by Berlett. : ' Sidewalk Work On Brock St. Nearly Completed Town workmelr 'under the direc- tion of Fred O'Dell, Works Super- visor, yesterday resumed work on the new sidewalk on the east side of Brock St. It is that the remaining work will be completed in about half a day. . The sidewalk, which runs from the corner of Dundas and Brock to Colborne and Brock, will provide a Fr. | wider sidewalk than has been the case in the past. The workmen have cemented the two foot wide portion of the sidewalk which in past years has been left simply as a dirt strip. Many merchants on the east side of the street petitioned the Town Council asking that this work be done because of the dirt which washed over the sidewalks In the past during heavy rains. Although no definite decision has been reached regarding the west side of Brock Bt. from Dundas to Colborne, there is a very good chance that it will be resurfaced al- so since many merchants have urged the town works department to take similar action as was taken on the east side. 4 BRENNER LOW The Brenner Pass is the lowest pass through the Alps and is less than a mile below sea level. | Last Complete ADULT NOW PLAYING ENTERTAINMENT Show at 8.20 lead the life of a normal farm boy.

Virginia Youth Now Big Trader In Arctic Area By ENID NEMY Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, Aug. -- (CP) -- Stan Peffer, one of the most fabulous of the north's many notables, has ex- perienced more in the last quarter of a century than the average per- son does in a lifetime, Stan came from the south--Vir- ginia--when still a child and settled down in Grande Prairie, Alta, to The year 1921 was the turning point in his life. His father estab- lished two trading posts in the north and ran them in conjunction with the general store he had ac- quired in Grande Prairie, Later he sold the store and went into the fur trade busingss exclusively. The first post was in northern British Columbia and from there the Peffers moved on to the North- west Territories and finally Aklavik. There they had their main post and three other posts were scattered throughout the north. Small traders bought supplies and usually paid for them in cash but natives used fur to pay for their provisions. White fox, muskrat and mink poured into the post and was then resold to tourists or placed on open auction markets at Edmonton, Winnipeg and Van. couver, The post at Aklavik was recently sold but the outposts have been re- tained. The elder Peffer died in 1942 and since then Stan has carried on alone, also acquiring the dance hall, theatre, hotel restaurant and town power plant at Aklavik. Life in the north becomes catch- nig, but now Stan says he wouldn't want to live there indefinitely "but neither would I like a business that would keep me from getting up there about once a year." His moth- er, three sisters and a brother all live in the United States but Stan says he'd just as soon remain in Canada. And as a matter of interest to feminine readers--he's a bathelor.

In his address to the club members Mr. Jeffries outlined the qualifications necessary for a good salesman and emphasiz- ed the fact that in a broader sense of the word, selling was, of necessity, a major requirement of all good Ro- tarians. Introduced by Rotarian Fred Rowe, uncle of the speaker, Mr. Jeffries pointed out to the meeting that the meeting was of particular interest to him since there were present, including himself, four members of his family: President Vernon Rowe, a cousin, Fred Rowe, an uncle and Roy Corcombe, a visit- or who was another cousin. "Selling is no longer a haphazard profession," he said, "but has reach- ed the point now where it is a science. Most salesman attempting to sell goods have behind them a guarantee from their company which is a far cry from the days of travel- ling medicine man shows." He pointed out that since the at- titude of the salesman is reflected in the manner in which he is re- ceived by a prospective customer it is absolutely necessary for him to make his approach in a smiling, friendly and sincere manner. Mr. Jeffries sald that he did not believe in the "Hollywood" approach but did believe that a salesman should present himself to a customer with Salesmen a smile on his face and an interest for whatever thé customer broaches in the way of conversation. He stressed the importance of a salesman being a good listener as well as a good talker. He said that most people enjoy speaking to a good listener and when the oppor- tunity is afforded them they often unburden themselves in such a way as to be a help to the salesman later on as well as to laying the founda- tion for a lasting friendship. : Mr. Jeffries said that a salesman should never become intimate with a customer but always should be friendly with him. He pointed out that many young salesmen often make a mistake by becoming in- timate and mistaking the intimacy friendship. Speaking of salesmanship in a broader sense, Mr. Jeffries said that Rotarians in North America as well as other service clubs should take it upon themselves to be salesmen of the virtues of our way of life and government. He said tht democracy has given more things to more people than any other form of gov- ernment ever conceived and that it was up to the businessmen and members of service clubs to broad- cast and make known this fact. He said that there is too much selling activity on the part of those not in favour of democracy or the Canadian way of life and since this condition ended the only way to counteract it so far as he could see was by "getting up on our own hind legs and selling democracy to the rest of the world." Whew! Mr. Weatherman Says 'Hot-But Hot' By The Canadian Press There was little hope for relief from sweltering heat for Eastern Canadians today. "It's going to be hot -- but hot," the weatherman told The Canadian Press. And to the weatherman's sev- en words of prognostication, Eastern Canadians added "and humid, too." Yesterday's heat and humidity were © of near.record intensity throughout Ontario and Quebec. The 1947 thermometer mark was reached in Toronto at 3 p. m. when the mercury showed 92.1. But it had cooled off by 5 p. m, with the read- ing at 91. ' The only relief in sight--until Fri. day when there "maybe thunder- showers"'--was the nearest air.con- ditioned restaurant or department store or the beach--if you can get the time off. Montreal led the temperature pa- rade in Quebec with a 91 reading accompanied by a humidity of 95. Despite the heat, no prostration ca- ses were reported but civic health officers warned against overwork and tiring from exercise. Many communities warned house- holders against using water for sprinkling lawns and in Kitchener, Ont., the water.pressure situation was termed "serious", many plants depending -on water pressure from their manufacturing processes shut- ting down. Factory workers in some centres were given the day off when tem. perature and humidity rose to un- comfortable heights, Last night's official weather fore- weather Wednesday for Quebec and Ontario, estimated temperatures would rise as high as 95 at Ottawa, 90 at Montreal, 92 at Quebec City. Temperatures above 90 degrees were also in sight for Ontario ci- ties Wednesday, with the official es. timate being a maximum of 93 at Windsor, 92 at London and Toronto and continued humidity. . 300 LOOPS RECORD In 1835 a Russian glider pifot made 300 loops, said to be a world record, cast promising clear, hot and humid | Whitby In Brief Accounts of social events and of visitors to and from the town are appreciated by this department TELEPHONE 1703 ton, Ontario. * OX * Mrs. D.

Allied Query By FRANK WHITE Tokyo, Aug. 13. -- (AP) -- Ap- proach of the time for writing a Japanese peace treaty has aroused new speculation in both Allied and Japanese circles on the future sta- tus of Emperor Hirohito. Some Allied solrces estimate un- officially that the quiet little Em- peror has been worth 1,000,000 oc- cupation troops in maintaining or- der since the surrender. On the surface he seems set to continue as monarch with his once- absolute powers stripped away by the constitution and his presump- tion of divinity tossed into the ash can, - There is neverjheless a renewal of talk that, after a peace treaty is signed, he might step down in fa- vor of Crown Prince Akikhito, who is now 13, All this is speculation, of course, Hirohito himself has given no indication that he is even thinking of retiring, Those who consider 'the subject say that 'face' and a Japanese sense of the fitness of things might call for the retirement of Horohito, who at 46 has ruled, first as Prince Re- gent and then as Emperor, for nearly 26 years. "Face," the term for intangible oriental considerations of prestige, may apply from both sides. For the Allies, seeking to stabil- ize peace, there is the question what sort of an impression will be made upon the Japanese by leav- ing as symbolic head of the state a man who was in power when his subjects over-ran a quarter of the globe. Hirohito might consider his own "face" affected because Japan was defeated under his rule, because he had been shorn of personal power, and because he has been the organ for carrying out Allied occupation directives.

Phone 486, Higher Courts Will Hear Driving Charge After 1 Fatal Accident A preliminary hearing for Guy Ouelette, Rosebank, charged with dangerous driving arising out of an accident which occurred on the morning of June 22nd, resulting in the death of Henry Gauthier, Rose- bank, was held before Magistrate Russel P. Locke in Whitby Police Court yesterday afternoon, and the accused was committed for trial in the next sitting of a higher court, and released on $2,000 bail, The first witness called by the Crown was Dr. Cartwright,eof Pic- kering, who said he arrived at the scene of the accident about 6 a.m. He testified that the car was over- turned in the ditch on the west side of the road. He also stated that the accused had a cut on the arm, and appeared to We suffering from shock. Dr. Cartwright testified that Ouelette had had something to drink, but was not intoxicated. Dr. Pritzker, of the Oshawa Hos- pital, who performed the autopsy on the body of Gauthier was called to the stand to describe his find- ings. He statéd there were numerous external injuries, and describing the internal injuries he said diaphrani of the accused was bruised, and there were areas of bleeding and bruising on both lungs, and a min- ute hemorrhage of the base of the brain, caused by a concussion. George Todd, R.R. No. 2, Picker- ing, who operates a farm on the Al- tona Road testified that on the morning of the fatal accident, the accused came to his farm with two ladies, whom he subsequently learn- ed were also involved in the acci- dent, to phone for a doctor, and he set the time as about 5.45 a.m. Todd told the court that Ouelette said that he had been in.an accident, and that he had met a car and had run off into the ditch, and some- one was seriously hurt or dead. Todd also pointed out that the walking of the accused "wasn't what it might be." In cross examining the witness, A. W. 8. Greer asked Todd if the ac- cused had not mentioned anything about dazzling lights, or being pushed off the road, but he denied that any such statement had been made to him, stating that Ouelette didn't say what caused the accident, Constable Tred White of the Pic kering Police Force, stated that ne arrived at the scene of the accident about 620 a.m. The Ouelette car was in the west ditch, on the right side of the road, facing north. The body of Gauthier was found in the ditch, 22 feet south of the car, White stated. Describing the condi- tion of the road, he sald it was a country gravel road in good condi tion, and the weather was clear, and the road dry. The travelled portion of the road was 25 feet wide, he pointed out. White also told the court that he was able to trace the course of the Ouelette car, for a distance preceding the crash. By bis measurements, from the point where he was first able to find the course, the car travelled 108 feet from the centre of the road to the east ditch, and then for a distance of 150 feet it travelled from the east ditch back to the centre of the road. Again the car travelled to- wards the east ditch for a distance of 75 feet, and for a further dis- tance of 42 feet, it travelled with one wheel outside the edge of the road, on the grass, until it hit a culvert. At this point, the course of the car stopped, indicating that the car had travelled in the air some 45 feet across the road, before come ing to rest in the west ditch. "There were no marks of anothes car apparent," the police officer stat ed. White also testified that when he questioned the accused, Oueletts sald he was driving south about 38 miles per hour, and he had been blinded by the lights of an ap- proaching car, and that was all he remembered. White also stated thas Ouelette said they had been wand ering from door to door of farm houses in the vicinity, but had been' L | unable to get anyone to answer,.~ "His ' breath smelt strongly of ale cohol," White stated, "and when questioned, he admitted having three pints of beer." In the cross examination by Mr. Greer, Constable White pointed out that the marks on the road were not skid marks, and there was noth- ing to indicate that the brakes had been applied, Charged With Serious Offence--Will Face Trial Later In Fall Norman Carlton, Pickering Town- ship, charged with indecent assault against a 64-year-old woman was committed for trial by a higher court following a preliminary hear. ing before Magistrate Russel P. Locke in Whitby Police Court yes- terday. Bail for Carlton was set at Magistrate Locke denied the re- quest of Acting Crown Attorney R. D. Humphreys that the court be cleared because of the nature of the charge, stating "I feel that it is in the interests of the administration of justice in this province that all hearings be held in an open court, unless the evidence to be presented is of such a obscene or unusual na- hee as to warrant clearing the court." When the complainant, an elder- ly, white-haired spinster was called to give evidence, she required the assistance of a police officer to help her to the stand. Court was adjourned for five minutes before proceeding with the case, while a glass of water was obtained for the witness, who said her throat was dry. The complainant, who told the court she was 64 years of age, was extremely nervous, and was shaking all the time she was in the witness box. She told the court the alleged assault occurred on July 30, about 5:30 in the afternoon. She had gone to the field to milk some cows, and she had finished milking a cow, and had put her pail of milk on the ground, and was petting the cow, which was one of her favor- ites, when the accused came up be- hind her, grabbed her by the shoul- ders, and threw her to the ground. While pinning her to the ground, he tore her clothing, When asked to produce the torn garments, the witness was so nervous that she had trouble in opening her purse, to procure the torn clothing. The witness stated that she screamed when the attack took place, but doubted if anyone heard her, be- cause the house was 30 or 40 rods away. She also said he assailant did not speak at any time during the assault. The witness stated that she had known Carlton for approximately 11 years, but when the Crown At- torney asked if he had ever worked |; on her farm, she replied emphatic- ally "We wouldn't have him on the place." : In the cross-examination De- fense Counsel Donald Ruddy, the witness said she had never seen the accused until he had grabbed her. She also said that the accused had been drinking by the smell of his breath. When asked if she had gone to & doctor following the as- sault, the witness said that she had not, and that she had not received any bruises from the assault. Describing the clothing of the accused, she said he was wearing a light coloured shirt, dark trousers, | and a tweed cap. She also stated that when Carlton returned to her house in the custody of Provincial Police officers, she had not recog- nized him immediately, because it was dark, but she had recognized his voice, before she got full sighs of him, Provincial Constable Gordon Campbell of the Whitby detache ment, who answered the call to the home of the complainant, stated that she was "in a highly nervous state," when he arrived, and that "she was crying," and was "definite. ly upset." He testified that the accused had definitely been drink- ing, when he was apprehended. He also stated that the complainant sald she was near-sighted in the dark, and could not readily identify Carlton, when he was returned to her farm in custody of the police, but she identified him by his voice, when he spoke in answer to a ques- tion (of one of the other police of ficers in the car. A second five-minute 'adjourn- ment was granted during the case, so that the defence counsel could hear the evidence that had been given before he arrived, However, a request that the case be remand- ed for one week was refused by the magistrate, who pointed out that he had already remanded the case for one week, and that he had giv- en the accused every opportunity i secure counsel before the hear- g.
