PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY: Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, All Departments "Town Planning Necessary" Rotary Is Told By Clerk The clerk of the Town of Whitby, John R. Frost, was the guest speak- er at the luncheon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club yesterday. In his capacity of Secretary of the Whitby Town Planning Board, Mr. Frost addressed the meeting and told of the work, problems and alms of the Board. i - Sta that all' municipalities, i Th those located on re. were experiencing end oo A Ti ogg Be <. of growth unknown Pe "iy said that he believed town planning of a definite nature should form a fundamental part of all future development, " as * Quoting figures recently 'ma Wy indicated that in Tor- onto alone, new building permits had been issued to a total of $48 million, during 1946, and that the Town of Whitby had issued permits to a total value of $311,000. during the same period. ¥So far this year the new building permits in Whitby have reached an all time high for the first seven months of $242,000. he said. ; Satis uoting population ho nis statement that Whitby was continually growing, he said that in 1037 the population of Whitby proper, excepting the Coun= ty Home, Ontario Hospital and Ladies' llege, was 3,751 and in Whitby proper this year the popula- tion figures stood at 4,441. =: "The purpose of and the a 0 which 4 Board is headed is to prevent the haphazard sort of ex- pansion that has been taking place during the last few years," he said, "Everything must conform to & plan if the community is to thrive and continue to expand and one of the main points to take into considera- tion at the present time is the fact that less and less land is available for planned development with every new permit issued for a building. "prom conferences with officials of the Department of Planning and Development it has been learned that the City of Toronto has almost reached the saturation point so far as new building within the present city limits is concerned and it is no foolish statement when Toronto officials begin to talk of the Lan- sing cut-off as the future eastern limits of the city. "qf and when this happens Whitby would be in a particularly favoured position since it would be the first municipality to the east able to offer all the public services." ; Referring to the lack of auitable expansion space for a commerc and business section in the town even at the present time, Mr. Frost pointed out that the only feasible plan advanced to date for the sec- tion of the town known as Port Whitby was to plan the area so that residents. of the port would have their own commercial, busi- ness and school area. "The proximity of the harbour will soon attract many large indus- tries to Whitby," he said, "and if this happens the port area will soon be a thriving section of the town." Speaking of a recent announce- ment by the Hon. Dana Porter, Minister of Planning and Develop- ment, that in 25 years the Town of Whitby could expect a possible population of some 30,000, Mr. Frost said that still other departments of the same government had gone on record as believing this an op- fimistic statement. "However," he added, "the thought is there and since one of the two departments must be wrong it could just as the | meters will provide the only plaus- easily be the second one as the firs: Bd +4 Frost said that one of the main points of contention so far as the Board was concerned was the lack of adequate parking facilities in the town proper. "It is proving a big headache to planning board officials," he said, "and my own personal opinion is that parking ible solution." A Other points being considered by the local board according to Mr. Frost was the possible location of new schools and a hospital. "All these points must be considered in the long range view," he said, "and no matter what the outcome the Board members, who serve with no of any.reward can rest as- sured that the one thing they will get plenty of is work." Is Fined $10 On Liquor Count Pleading guilty to a charge of having liquor in a place other than where he resides, Harold Phillips, Port Whitby, was fined $10 and costs by Magistrate Locke in Whit by Police Court Tuesday afternoon, "I am taking into consideratica the fact that you are an ex-service- man," the magistrate said, in levy- ing the minimum sentence. Constable John Thomas of the by Police Force testified that on the night of August 5, with Con- stable Roy Sturtevant, he had been called to a Whitby hotel, where he found five bottles of beer in the back seat of Phillips' car, which had been taken from the hotel, The accused did not deny ownership, Constable Thomas said, and he had been drinking, but was not intoxi- cated. Chief William Elliott point- ed out to the magistrate that Phil- lips had served overseas for several years, and asked for a minimum sentence, Remand Cases In Whitby Police Court Harold Clark, Pickering Town- ship, charged with dangerous driv- ing and careless driving, as a re- sult of an accident on August 17, appeared before Magistrate Russel P. Locke in Whitby Police Court yesterday, and was remanded until Friday, August 22, when he will ap- pear in Magistrate's Court in Osh- awa. Bearing the remains of two black eyes, Alex Pico, Pickering Town- ship, was arraigned before Magis- trate Locke on a charge of common assault against John Lambert, and was also remanded until Friday, when he will appear in Oshawa. John Lambert did not appear in court. The charge arose out of an argument, over the driving of cars. One accused the other of cutting him off in a line of traffic, and both men got out of their cars, and judging from the appearance of Pio, | the argument was more than verbal.

Thompson, Pickering Village, was the victim of a tragic suffocation accident yesterday afternoon at his home. The baby, unknown to his mother, managed to work the pillow in his crib over his face and before this was noticed by his mother the youngster had suffocated. The child's mother rushed the baby to the office of Pickering coroner, Dr. Cartwright, but he wag found to be dead on arrival. : Mrs, Thompson told the coroner that she had tucked the child into his crib with his bottle and had gone outside to hunt for her other two children and bring them home because of a storm that was pend- ing. Upon returning to the house she immediately went to the baby's crib and found the child lying with his head completely covered by the pillow. . tributed the death to suffocation pad added that no inquest would be Guilty Plea Nets Local Man Sentence "In consideration of the fact that you have a family of five small children, I will place you on suspended sentence for one year," Magistrate Russel P. Locke told J. J. Wilson, Port Whitby, who was convicted in Whitby police court yesterday afternoon of steal. ing a pair of binoculars. 'Theft is a miserable thing, and it is only in consideration of the plea of the Crown and your family, that I am letting . you off so light," the magistrate added. "A man with a family like you has no business drinking," he told Wilson, yho evidence had shown had been drinking at the time of the of- fence, ".nd your first obligation is to your family." Wilson pleaded guilty to the charge, and evidence was pre- sented by Sgt. Ron Love of the Whitby police force showing that the accused had taken the bino- culars from a boat in Whitby harbor. Later he had 'sold them for $5, Police were able to secure the binoculars: and they will be returned to their owner, "Ex" Tickets Available At Police H.Q.

Pointir; out that education will be given unusual emphasis in this, the first showing of the exhibi~ tion in five years, and that from all indications received from schools across the Dominion, the 1947 exhibition will be one of the most successful from an educa- tional standpoint ever held. Enclosed in the letter were guest tickets for all the children good any day from August 25 un- til September 6, inclusive. »'chool . competitions in art, handicraft and numerous other projectts found in the ordinary classroom .across the continent will be held during the course of the exhibition with the competi= tions being held in the newly ren- ovated "million dollar Automo- tive Building." - The guest tickets, available to all public school pupils in Whit- by, can be secured by asking Chief of Police Willlam Elliott. \ Dr. Cartwright said that he at- | Brock Wheels In Motion For Whitby Kin Version With a site chosen, rules drawn up and a committee working on the remaining details, the Whitby Kins- men Club have announced their definite infention of holding a soap box derby in town in conjunction with their annual carnival on Sep- tember 13. This good news was an- nounced 'today by Gordon McMa- hon, Whitby Recreational Director, who has volunteered to head the committee in charge of the event. Influenced in various ways and faced with the definite obstacle of not having a hill suitable for such an event, carnival officials, club executive 'and members put their heads together and came up with what is believed to be the only solu=- tion. It is now planned to start the race from a large ramp, suitably steeped, and then to make use of, the only hill m town that can be considered as a possibility, that on St. from the top of the C.N. R. railroad bridge, south to the base line. After considerable conjec- ture and finally a test club officials have reached the conclusion that the derby can be held and without further ado have gone ahead with their plans. Several other sites were consider- ed possibilities but the drawback in each case was refusal of the On- tario Department of Highways to allow the blocking of either No. 2 or No. 12 Highways leading out of Whitby.. When the Brock St. S. proposition was suggested some doubt .was held that permission could be granted to block this road oft during the race but after nego- tiations with Mayor William David- son and the Chairman of the Streets Committee of the Council, R. G. Underwood, permission was finally received. Immediately after this permission was granted the derby committee Of Soap Box Derby set to work and have drawn up rules and regulations which will cover the local event as well as em- barking on a campaign to find a sponsor for the derby itself. The race rules according to offi- cials in charge will not differ to any great extent from those of oth- er competitions held in the area re- cently but pointed out that one or two requirements are different. The derby will pe split into two classes, junior amd senior, with the senior age limit being boys between 13 and 16 as of August 1 and the junior limit being boys between 11 and 12 as of August 1. A complete set of rules along with official entry forms for thederby will be released immediately and it is hoped that the youngsters of Whitby will respond to the extent that has been the case in other neighboring localities. Although held in conjunction with the Kinsmen Club Carnival which is slated to be held in tie Kinsmen Memorial Park on Satur- day September 13 the derby will be held during the afternoon while the main carnival will be conducted during the evening. A fairly attractive prize lst will be offered to the winners of the derby and they will also have a chance to enter the cars in the monster parade which will precede the carnival proper. By entering their cars in the parade the cone testants stand a chance of winning further prizes which will be award. ed by the club for various sections of the parade.

H. Middleton, when their daughter, Willa Jean, formerly of Whitby, be- came the bride of Henry George Freeman of Preston, Ont. .

The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of dove grey crepe, a poudre blue ostrich headdress, black accessories, and carried a bouquet of red roses.

Clare of Preston played the wedding music and Mr. Frederick Weiberg, of Preston was groomsman, For the reception following the ceremony the bride's mother wore a dress of honor blue crepe with black accessories and a corsage of pink roses.

"Collectors Old Coins Owned Here Items" Not Worth Very Much Information concerning the true value of the old Canadian coins which have been mentioned in The Times-Gazette during the past week was advanced today by A. E. Smith, of Pickering, one of the foremost collectors of coins in this area. Mr. Smith, reading of the coins, two of them old Canadian coins minted in 1820 and one of them an Irish coin minted in 1775, in the reports car- ried in these columns visited the office this morning and proffered what information he had concern- ing them. The Canadian coins, according to Mr. Smith, are a good collector's item having, however, only a cash value of perhaps 4 to 6 and a half dollars depending on their condi- tion, One of these coins is owned by Erhest Hyderman, Athol St. who turned it up while digging in his garden, and the other coin is owned by William Holliday, Brock St. 8. who is quite a coin collector in his own right. The Irish coin, minted during the reign of King George III, of Eng- land, and owned locally by John Bateman, Gilbert St. W., is worth a little more, believed by Mr. Smith ° to be in the neighbourhood of 12 or 13 dollars. a "This latter coin too," said Mr, Smith, "is a great collector's item because of the story that is con- nected with it. The coins were minted in England during the reign of George III, for use in Ireland, then commonly known as Hibernia. A quantity of these coins were sent to Canada to be used as a medium of exchange but the French Can- adian residents of Canada at that time apparently would have no part of them and the majority of them were sent back to Ireland." he was not a dealer or buyer of old coins and that the sole reason for his visit to the newspaper of- fice was for the purpose of letting the persons owning the coins know their relative worth, "I hate to see people taken in when dealing in old coins," he said, "and since most people prefer negotiable cash to old coins I thought it quite possible that an attempt might be made to sell them without first having them legitimately appraised." Sophie Charters Is Wedded To William Dilling A quiet wedding took place in All Saints' Church on Saturday afternoon last at 3 o'clock, when Rev. A. Gordon Channen united in marriage Sophia Charters, daughter of Mr. John Yarmola and the late Mrs, Yarmola and William Donald Dilling, son of Mr. and Mrs, Lloyd Dilling. Mr. Leon Nash played the wedding music, v The bride wore a pale blue gabardine suit, pastel pink feath. er hat: matching gloves, black ac- cessories and corsage of red roses, Her attendant, Mrs, Vernon Mac- Carl, wore an American Beauty rose suit, matching hat, black ac- cessories and corsage of white carnations. The groom was at- tended by his brother, Vernon Dilling, A reception was held at the home of the bride's father, where the guests were received by the bride's sisters, assisted by the groom's mother, who wore coral crepe gown, black accessories and corsage of coral gladioli.
