PAGE FOUR FTHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE." WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY. Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Edicor. Fhone 703, All Departments Council Hears Report From Representatives Regarding New Schools In a verbal report presented to members of the Whitby Town Coun- cil, Councillors John G. Strathy and Harry Jermyn, both appointed members of council to inspect new schools along with the Whitby Board of Education, stated that after visiting two new schools in the Hamilton area they were not im. pressed with either of the buildings and did not believe they were of the type that should be built in Whitby. Mayor William Davidson appoint- ed the two councillors at the request of the Board of Education and two weeks ago the two members made an independent inspection of two schools near Hamilton, the Comley School and the Mohawk Rd. School. In speaking of the Comley School, which has received widespread pub- Heity of late on account of its un- usual and supposedly ultra.modern interior architecture, Mr. Jermyn and Mr. Strathy both concurred in saying that although the outward appearance of the school was very t and satisfactory, the in- design and workmanship was far from satisfactory to their way of thinking. Councillor Jermyn mentioned specifically the five different types of floor construction in the small, two-roomed building stating that he did not think this necessary at all. Councillor Strathy interjected that it was even more evident to him now that a school board only got what they paid for and if a school cost less per room to build than some others, then the quality of materials and workmanship and features or lack of them were clear- ly evident. Speaking of the Comley School, Councillor Strathy said that he was not impressed with the interior of the building and thdt he did not think proper fire escape precautions had been taken into consideration. Both members pointed out that the boiler rcom, where a fire was most likely to occur, was immediate. ly to the side of the main entrance and in the event of an alarm the children would be forced to flee the building through the corridor and doorway adjacent to the boiler room. Another specific point mentioned in their argument against the school was the inferior caretaking facilities and the lack of adequate storage space for coal and caretaker's sup- plies. Councillor Strathy told council that fluorescent lighting had heen installed in the rooms-and that the only current available was 25 cycle which caused a "terrific" flicker in the fixtures. "Nearly 75 per cent of the pupils present in the school stated that they did not like the lighting arrangement," he said. Speaking of the cream coloured ehalk boards used in the buildings inspected, Councillor Strathy said that from a distance of halfway back in the classroom it was prac- tically impossible for him to read the writing. "They blamed it on "the fact that they were not able to secure the special chalk needed for use on the boards," he said. "How- ever, I don't believe they have both. ered too much to, secure. the proper chalk, believing that what was available was all right for the job." Both members said that they were disappointed that they had not vis- ited the Kitchener Park School in Scarboro when the board members did, but that they had an invitation from the architect of the school to visit in the near future and thai they would take advantage of the opportunity very shortly. Lindsay And Red Wings See Action Whitby's vaunted Red Wings; Junior "B" competitors in the O.H. A.; tonight encounter the fast skating Lindsay Junior "C" com- bination in a regularly scheduled game at Taylor's Arena. Admitted. ly one of the most important games to face them this year, a victory can mean strengthening their hold on first place in their group while a defeat can endanger their chances of remaining on top of the loop. At present Whitby is a hall a game in front of the badly slipping Toronto Byers Motors crew which was defeated in Oshawa on Mon- day night. A win tonight can lengthen that lead to a game and a half and if this happens they stand a better than even chance of finishing on top of their group at the end of the season. ' 'Coach Jack Lowe has not made any predictions as to tke outcome of tonight's game but in view of the record against Lindsay which the Red Wings have rung up to date it would appear as though an- other victory is assured. The starting line-ups for the game have not been announced as yet but it is understood that they will be the same as for 'Tecent games. Lowe, believing in the old adage that there is not much sense in breaking up a winning combina- tion, apparently wants to sit tight and play the team members as in the past. : Manchester Manchester, Feb. 4 -- The Wo- men's Association will meet at the home of Mrs. McKee on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 5, at 2:30. A cordial invitation is ex- tended to the ladies of the com- munity to attend. Audit Firm Announces Change interest to the people of Whitby and district has just been made by Mrs. G. D. Astley, who informs The Times-Gazette that, effective ¥Fob- ruary 28, she has disposed of her interest im' the Accounting Service to Sidney T. Hopkins, who has been associated with the busi. ness for the past.two years. Over 20 years ago this business was established by the late George D. Astley, who built up an enviable reputation in accounting and audit- ing service in Whitby, Oshawa and throughout the district. Following Mr. Astley's death in 1939, Mrs. Ast- ley carried on the business, having as an associate, her sister, Miss Marjorie Jarrett. Two years ago, Sidney Hopkins, who had establish. ed his own accounting business in Oshawa and is well known in the district, purchased a half.interest in the business, He has now purchased Mrs. Astley's remaining interest and will carry on with headquarters in Oshawa. ' Mrs, Astley will continue to make her home in Whitby, but will spend a considerable part of her time at "Bieways Lodge", on No. 17 high- way, west of Ottawa, in which she has an interest. T. Rea Leads In Hospital Bowling A close pin toppling race is being waged by participants in the On- tario Hospittl Bowling League and as the season draws steadily to a close interest and the "old school try" on the part of the members is becoming increasingly more evident.

High triple in the ladies' division went to Miss M, Gill with a 698 score. T. Rea again showed his consist- ent form when he scored in both single and triple game fields.

Court Takes Lenient View Of Resistance Charge--View Future Michael Howe, Pickering Town. ship, was fined $25 and costs or one month" in jail when he pleaded guilty before Magistrate Frank 8S. Ebbs yesterday afternoon. to a charge of resisting arrest. The offence occurred on January 31 in a Brougham dance hall and hap- pened when Chief Constable Jack Irvine, Pickering Township police department, attempted to take the accused outside after a mild dis. turbance in the dance hall. Constable Fred White, Pickering, told the court that the accused and another youth had words in the dance hall and were "spoiling" for a fight, He said that when Irvine attempted to intervene the accused had swung at him and both Irvine and Howe had fallen to the floor. Later when the two officers were escorting Howe from the building a second punch was thrown and Howe and Irvine again fell to the floor. He added that the accused had used excessively bad language to the 'Won't Be So Easy officers and was very unruly when he was taken to the jail. Howe's father appeared in court and told the magistrate that if the boy was locked up his business would suffer. He explained that both he and the accused were employed in their own shop making electric iron elements, Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall stressed to the court the serious- ness of the offence. "I cannot ask policemen to go to these places and risk being defied and illtreated in this way. People must learn to~ respect the law and the men em- ployed to enforce it." He told the court that he had no objection to a fairly lenient sentence in this particular 'case: but that in any similar cases in the future he would demand the full penalty of the law. In passing sentence, the Magis- trate told Howe that he was taking a lenient view of the matter but that in future the maximum penalty al. lowable would be enforcéd for any such offences, Castle Chapter Alumnae Holds First 1948 Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Castle Chapter Alumnae of the Ontario Radies' College was held on Monday, at the College. After the social hour, with Mrs. W. J. H. Richardson presiding at the tea table, the president, Mrs, Leo Gray, took the chair. The meeting opened with the Lord's Prayer. Many members and friends were present to hear Mrs. James F. Carnwith of Oshawa give a travel talk on her recent trip to Mexico. The pleasing and informal man- ner of Mrs. Carnwith, in present- ing the various scenes, characteris- ties and life of the Mexican peo- ple, was delightful and informa tive. Leaving Canada at 9:30 in the morning, Mr. and 'Mrs. Carnwith and daughters arrived by plane in Mexico at 9:30 in the evening, get- ting their first view of Mexico when it was illuminated. "As Mexico is built on the bed of a lake there are no large buildings. Great concern is {glt because of the sink- ing of the ground, which averages about one foot a year," she said. The most perfect architecture is seen in the 'Palace of Arts", in which are the Natural Museum Art Gallery and Theatre which all Mexicans enjoy. In the latter is a glass curtain made of one million pieces of glass, behind which is a play of lights, The foyer of the Palace is of solid rose onyx, in which can be seen greaf cracks, due to the sinking of the ground.

Admitting his guilt when charged before Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs in Whitby police court yesterday, J. V. Fenn, of Toronto, was sentenced to four months definite and two months indefinite in the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph on a charge of fraud by means of issuing a worthless cheque. Fenn was arrest- ed on a warrant by Toronto police last week on instructions from Po- lice Chief J. William Elliott, of Whitby. Mr. K. Cavanaugh, clerk in the Butt Radio and Appliance Store, Whitby, told the court that the ac= cused had entered the store on De. cember 24 and asked to be shown a small portable camera radio which was on display in the show window. After accused had been shown the radio he had tendered a cheque for $39 in payment for it, according to Cavanaugh. Chief Elliott told the court that he had gone to Toronto last week to bring the accused back for trial and at that time Fenn had given the chief $39 in cash to pay for the radio. Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall read to the court a lengthy criminal rec- ord of the accused which dated back to 1930. In passing sentence the magistrate sald that offences such as the one before the court yesterday appeared to be a frequent occurrence with the accused and that they had been go- ing on for some time. Speaking in his own behalf, Fenn told the court that he had very little to say other than that he had had tough luck and had lost three jobs prior to the commission of the offence. He said that at present he was employed in Toronto and that he would appreciate the magistrate taking a lenient view of the matter so that he would be able to hold onto. his job. Crown Attorney Hall interjected that it was not the past record of the accused that was keeping him in trouble but was the additions to the record which seemed fo be made frequently. | pep Wife Preservers NE ray al on } ja i Ar Arrange books, magazines and writing | material on a little table near a bed pa-| tient who is convalescing, 80 he can reach' them without assistance, Announcements DO NOT FORGET THE ONTARIO Hospital Badminton Club Dance, at Club Bayview, on Friday, February 6th.
