Phone 703, All Departments ongratulations Due Citizens For Conduct--Police Jew Year's Eve, 1947 and New Year's Day, 1948, were absolutely the quietest in my 26 years' experi- ence on the Whitby Police Force, sald Constable John Thomas last an, Constable Thomas was speaking of the accident free and irrest free 48 hours which preceded the statement. * Police Chief William Elliott con» firmed the statement as' did Con- stable Roy Sturtevant. "It must cegtainly be a re nord of some kind," on duty al New Year's department. pRorie rang only half a dogen times and ncne of the calls were to report accidents or other infractions of rules and regulations J lcapll y', Be above statements do not de- traet in any way from the way in which Whitby citizens rang out the old year and rang in the new. At the Club Bayview, Whitby's fore- ! most dance spot, between 150 and 200 couples danced, sang and greet- ed the new year with loud blowi of -horns, paper hats, balloons and streamers. | At Taylor's Arena another 200 or 250 young citizens skated in the new year on ice that was in superb condition. Here again bedlam broke loose as 12 o'clock midnight sound- ed. Myriad house parties were In full swing throughout private homes and the advent of 1948 was loudly proclaimed by sounding automobile + horns, various types of noisemakers and a general hullaballoo. Even Whitby's ancient, but still service- able, fire bell got into the act. Some citizens, no doubt enjoying the oc- casion sounded peal after peal on the old bell which is located im- mediately tehind the Whitby Town Hall. The proprietors of both the Bay- view and the Arena had nothing but praise for the way in which their patrons conducted themselves on New Year's Eve. Mr, Taylor and Mrs. Rowley were both enthusiastic abput the success of the evening and thé general concensus was that "tHere never has been a happier or less troublesome crowd of holiday revellers on our premises." A spokesman for the Whitby police department said that "the citi of Whithy deserve a great deal of credit for the way in which they conducted themselves over the holiday. . It was simply marvellous e amount of co-operation we re. ceived from everyone." Repeated warnings . issued by municinal police throughout the province and good common sense were believed to be the two main repsons for scarcity of accidents and drunk drivers over the holiday. +I believe that at last people are inning to get wise to themselves," d Constable Sturtevant. "They are beginning to realize that it ddesn't pay to drink and drive at the same time and if this attitude cantihues our lot will be a much hgppier and more pleasant one," he said. BEATING TB Edmohton--(CP)--1¢ the program of mass X-rays is extended to all parts of Alberta, the incidence of tuberculosis can be "cut in half in tHe next 10 years," says Edmonton's ical officer of health, Dr. G. M. Little. While the death rate from tuberculosis since 1931 has been cut by two-thirds to 22 per 100,000 peo- ple, more intensified efforts are néeded to reduce it still further. RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE 'BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE 130 Brock Tel. 7 St. N, Whitby Missionary Film Draws Good Crowd CA splendid audience was on and in the Whitby Baptist Church on Tuesday evening, despite the ex- tremely cold weather, to see the new 'religious film, "Beyond Our Own." Two very fine films of mu- sical character showing orchestral structure and illustrating the pro- gram of the' Bell Telephone radio hour preceded the showing of the | missionary film. The chairman for the evening, Rev, Fred Darnell, paid high tri- bute to Mr, Len Rich and his work with the projector. The audience showed their appreciation in a very enthusiastic way. The fim, "Beyond Our Own," was regarded by all present as a very fine type of religious film. It rep- resented Christian character at its best in service for mankind though the story of a young medical mis- sionary in China and a successful young lawyer, who, having lost his faith through the death of his young son, went out to China to visit the young doctor. Quite vivid at times, the film nevertheless is a magnificent dem- onstration of Christianity in action, The minister referred to the ser- vices that the church has rendered to various clubs and organizations by the loan of its projector and for which no payment has been asked or received. He noted that the eve- ning's proceeds would go to im- provements to equipment already owned 'and for the purchase of ad- ditional new equipment.

St. Mike's Jr. B's Defeat Red Wings By 6-3 Count A good crowd was in attend. | ance yesterday afternoon to see Jr. B's game hetween Whithy Red Wings and Toronto St, Mich- ael's College, The visitors emerged the victors by virtue of a 6.3 score. Whitby took an early lead in the first period on a neat goal by Sid Arnold tricky right winger of the local squad as he beat Mc- Lellan from close in, This lead was short lived however as Stock evened up the count on a pass from Volpe, On the same play Hayward of the home team was given a penalty for slashing at Stock but even with the slashing he beat Dalby in the local twine with a shot to the top left hand corner, Play gee-sawed bac< and forth for the next ten minutes with both goalies turning in some good saves, It was not until Clarke was given a penalty that St. Mich. ael's took the lead as Stock set Cudmore up for the second Col- lege counter. St. Michael's were never behind for the balance of the game. The second period was very even with both teams trying hard to add to their total. Poor pass- ing of the puck by the - Whitby club's first line was noticed by many of the fans. Some remarked that if McCloskey and Williams would remember that they have another man on the same line who is very often left in the clear but cannot score goals if his line mates will not pass the puck to him, St, Michael's took a three to one lead as Wolochatulk sank his first of two goals from a scram- ble in front of the local net, Hol- land and McCloskey were ban- ished for fighting by referee Hef- fering as the period was fast drawing to a close. In the third -and final frame Whitby came out very strong as Williams, playing with a six stitch gash in his right eye, dis- played some very neat stickhand. ling and went through the entire St. Mike's club to rack up the second Whitby marker, The visitors were not to be out- done, however, and they pressed back until finally Wolochatuik netted his second tally on a back hand shot over the top of goalie Frank Dalby who was lying full length in the goal mouth, The J.L.T. line of Johnstone, Lintner and Trimm combined for the third Whitby tally and put the homesters back in the game but St. Michael's had too much on the ball and added two more quick goals, Volpe from Stock and A, Holmes from Hall, The period ended with St. Michael's all round the Whithy net trying to increase their lead but Dalby in the lo.al twine was 'hut Dalby in the local twine was {hem with everything but his teeth, Whitby will play their first lea- gue game in Oshawa Monday .night at 9.30 p.m. when they tan- gle with the Oshawa Jr. B entry. The first home game will be on Wednesday night when they hook up with Byer's Motorg at Taylor's arena, A good crowd is expected to be on land to see the Red Wiuee in action, A special attraction was pres. ented at yesterday's game be. tween the second and - third frames as they saw Miss Marilyn Ruth Take, senior ladies champ- fon of Canada, display some of her graceful figure skating. Miss Take will be on the Canadian Olympic team for 1948. After Miss Take had completed her rou- tine she was presented with a bouquet by Chief Elliott who is honerary president of the Whitby Minor lene Association, Lineu ST.
