PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1948 FFICE MA wiv ALF | iN h \AJICC WJ | \ EDITOR ROBERT CORBETT PHONE 703 Power Cuts Start Friday As Revised Hours Announced A revised schedule of power cut-offs in Whitby was decided upon last night at a joint meeting of the Utility Commission, industrialists and the town council. Beginning on Friday, power will be off during the following hours: 6.30 to 7.30 in the forenoon and 5.00 to 6.00 in the afternoon. During a recent inspection of domestic water heaters, 15 out of 100 were found on between the 'banned' hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The commission will seal off any being used during this period_in future, So far Whitby has had no cut-* offs though the town is far above its quota every day. The quota had been cet so low that there was lit- tle hope of ever being able to meet it under any circumstances. Now it has been raised to 20,000 Kkilo- watt hours daily. Average recent daily use has been around 22,000-- mere on some days, so there now | seems to be.a good chance of be- ing able to fulfil the quota by means of the two specified cuts. The meeting was featured by an| attack on Ontario Hydro by Coun. cillor John Strathy. "All summer long we heard noth- ing about power conservation," said Strathy. "During the C.N.E. millions of lights blazed there, but the day it ended and the govern- ment no longer had an interest in » | | the show--bingo! all kinds of hol- | | lering about a shortage. It's a rack- et. I can't swallow it!" Mayor Davidson: "We must prepared 'to sacrifice somewheNg. These hours can be changed if we | find we are in difficulties." Harry Jermyn: "Is there any re- course against the people who do not economize?" W. L. Pringle: "No." Peter Draimin sugested the hours originally t 0 would be more appr he was told by the superintendent that it may not be necessary to keep the power off until six each night. that No restrictions are in effect Sat- | urdays or Sundays. Newfoundland Pictured As Fine Future Canadian Asset A lesson in the history and geozraphy of Canada's tenth prov- ince, Newfoundland, was given at the Rotary luncheon yesterday by J. Gordon Davis, Whitby assessor and supervisor of works, Mr. Davis * presented his subject in a graphic and pleasant manner, A native of the island, Mr. Davis was introduced by his civic associate John R. Frost, land which was first sighted in the new world by John Cabot. after the discovery, fishing fleets began to come out from Europe establishing what came to be the island's major asset. In 1610 the, first settler came to the island. It\was the famous Cap- tain Cook wHo made the first ac- curate survey and map of the island. Like a triangle in shape, the coast- line is 1,000 miles without entering the bays and inlets. Area is 40,200 square miles. Off the east coast the cold waters of the Arctic current meet the Gulf stream resulting in frequent fogs but on the west coast, weather is much better. There is magnificent scenery, heavy industry, mining, fruit grow- ing but the growing season Imited. Newfoundland was the scene of many historic triumphs. In 1863 Cyrus Field laid the Atlantic cable. Marconi sent his first trans- Atlantic Hill, in 1901; Allcock and Brown flew the ocean in an historic flight. The island is connected with the mainland by steamer and airline town clerk.

(CP).--A great, square limestone building, today the home of a humble flour mill, still stands to .stir memories in this Perth county town which 70 years ago made its bid for fame, glamor and a place in the brilliant light of Victorian culture. Those were the days of the great theatrical road shows. And so the enterprising: members of St. Marys Lodge No. 36, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, decided to build an "opera house" and give St. Marys its share of culture. The finished product was a thing of beauty--a crenelated wall tow- ering above the street, turrets on the corners, great windows two- storeys high. For a town of about 3,000 persons --overshadowed by the growing wealth and prestige of London, 18 miles to the south--it must have been cause for no small amount of civic pride. And per- haps apprehension. Canny lodge brothers must have seen it was a touch-and-go ven- ture, for they kept the groupd floors for stores and the top floor for a lodge room. But in between was a great hall, with a balcony, which could seat 800 persons.

Leaving the court room, he honored the magis- trate with a military salute. doe SMART DOGS, THOSE! Two large canines have been do- ing all their drinking lately at the expense of the town. They approach the low drinking fountain at the post office corner, simply place their two front feet on the por- celain and apply their lips to the bubbler. Satisfied, they trot away with appropraite gurgles and "sloopings" being heard. So far the sanitary inspector has not caught the culprits'in the act. a A 4 DRUNK IN PUBLIC John R.

They stand for Faith, Fun and Fellowship. The meeting was directed by Stan Mann, who led in the singing of hymns and new choruses. . The sound film entitled, The Kindled Flame, was then shown depicting the stand of the early Christians against the persecuting power of the Roman church. It was a very impressive portrayal of a great hour in the history of man- kind. Rev, F. T.

Johnston, 23, of Toronto, charged with shopbreaking with the break-in and theft of clothes from Ottenbrite's tailor shop on Sept. 20. Johnston also re- ceived a similar concurrent sentence for theft of a Toronto car used in the escapade. His companion, John Kerr, 18, him on this occasion, however, Kerr had been apprehended wearing a pair of stolen trousers. He was sent- enced to six months in the county jail on a count of receiving stolen goods. "Though I feel certain in my own mind that you were with Johnston on this occasion, there is his denial, and there is insufficient evidence for me to have convicted you," Magistrate F. S. Ebbs told Kerr, At the hearing last week John- ston testified: "Kerr had nothing to do with the Whitby break-in. I stole the clothes myself." He testified that a state- ment he made to police was correct except where the word "we" oc- curred. Kerr claimed he had nofhing to do with' the Whitby break-in -but admitted paying $5 to Johnston: for a pair of pants the morning after the burglary. 'Taking Johnston's evidence into consideration I find that I must give Kerr the benefit of the doubt on these charges" Magistrate F. S. Ebbs ruled. He ad- vised the Crown to lay a charge of retaining stolen goods against Kerr, who was immediately taken into custody by Whitby police.

In court Taylor pleaded not guilty but was found guilty. At first he had denied knowing the trio but later said he was with them. They stated that they had quit jobs in Toronto and hitch- hiked to Whitby. They intended to go to Montreal. Their parents were not aware the boys had left the stated to Chief William Elliott that they were trying to find a car to sleep in, Taylor said he did not run from -the officer because he had a wooden leg.

I do not wish to pass sea- tence now, There must be some other reason why they were here at three in the morning." Allan's father was surprised to hear that his son had a -previous police court record. "I didn't know a thing about it," he exclaimed in- voluntarily when the Crown read the record. Magistrate Ebbs asked for a full investigation concerning the boys.
