Goodfellow Members of Whitby Rotary Club stood in reverent silence for a mo- ment at the weekly luncheon yes- terday to honor the memory of Graydon M. Goodfellow, past presi- dent, charter member and active .member in the club. Peter Draimin, t president of the Club, paid a i but well worded tribute to Mr. Goodfellow for his--work inthe "church; in the schools, the lodge, in Boy Scout circles, at the Ontario Ladies' College and, last, but not feast, in the Rotary Club. Mr. Draimin said that Mr. Goodfellow was a citizen of the highest cali- bre, one who made and retained many friends, His passing, he said, was a great loss to the organizations with which he had been connected, and to the community. President Dr, F. 8. Mills also added his brief tribute. Court Agrees Brock St. South Town's Best Road Looking younger than the 17 years he claimed, Roy LaFlamme, 13 Fen- ton Avenue, Toronto, appeared in Whitby police court yesterday morning to plead 'not guilty' to a speeding charge. His defence was that Brock Street South, where he was followed by the police, was so rough that he could not have pos- sibly been going 45 mph. or his + truck would have ratjled off the road. It was a 1948 model. "Isn't that the best road you have in town, Chief," asked the magis- trate: The police department assented. Laflamme also admitted that his speedometer was not working but he thought he could not have been going more than 35. He spoke of his year and a half driving experience with confidence. Fine was $10 and costs or 10 days.

Whithy Tel. 707 & L 4 Mr. Goodfellow Much Interested In Boy Scouts Leaders and executives of the Boy Scout movement in Whitby last night recalled the great and friend- ly interest taken by the late Gray- don M. Goodfellow, who was a member of the Executive of the Whitby Boy Scouts Association. That interest K goes back several years, and it is generally agreed that Mr, Goodfellow was a tower of strength to this fine youth organ- ization. The Association is a group of adults right behind the Scouts and Cubs, giving moral and finan- clal support and consolidating Scout groups, management and activities. Mr. Goodfellow liked this idea and did his bit to further it. Although not a member, Mr, Goodfellow was a strong support- er of the Whitby Recreation - As- sociation, Director Gordon Mc- Mahon said last night. Motion On Sewer Costs Shelved A motion by J. J. McLaren at town council this week got 'side- tracked' as neatly as anyone might wish. During a discussion about ex- tending sewer facilities to Whitby districts which have been without them, Mr. McLaren advanced the idea that it would be very informa- tive if council could rave costs on extending sewers t ous areas Accordingly he made a motion to request the P.UC. to call for ten- ders on all such sewer extensions. However Mayor Harry Jermyn noted that another subject was un- der discussion at the time and ruled the motion out of order with the suggestion that it be re-introduced under the heading of 'general busi- ness." When this item came on the agenda, it was past midnight. By this time Mr. McLaren had either forgotten his motion or deemed it advisable to leave it until some other-time.

Nursing Report Given For January Following is the report given by the Victorian Order . Nurse, Miss ing January: V.O.N. continued to be quite busy in January. A total of 149 visits being made, 8 of these visits were made by Mrs. H. Augustus. Nursing was not as active this month as last, although 7 new families not having had V.O.N, care before received nursing care and 13 new cases were admitted. These were mainly for short term illnesses and the bulk of the nursing visits this month were to chronic patients. Continued use of relief nursing bled more tire to be spent in the aools, allowing 28 hours: 15 min- utes as compared to 122 hours last month. 23 home school visits were made. Four well baby clinics were held in the library with a total atten- dance of 21. The babies, it seems are quite satisfied with the change of date from Friday to Thursday afternoons. Miss Edna Squires, regional super- visor from the Ontario Dept. of Health visited the district recently and attended a well baby clinic. She will be returning this month to visit some of the schools. Also this month, arrangements were made whereby we could have a few dressings for emergency use er Later in the year a number of Senior year students from the hos- pital will have a short observation period with V.O.N. and some aspects of this program are now under dis- cussion with Miss Phair the acting Superintendent of Nurses for the Ontario Hospital. Admirals Go Fishing for Live Porpoises London -- (CP) -- The Admiralty wants a live dolphin and a live | porpoise for underwater propulsion experiments but it seems the only way it can get them is to send out! the navy. A small naval "bring-'em-back- alive" expedition will set out next summer from the Admiralty ex- perimental station near Portsmouth to see if it can catch a couple of these hard-to-catch fish. If the navy gets them, the dolphin and porpoise will be put in Horsea Lake at the end of Portsmouth har- bor. Scientists will watch their movements and a series of photo- graphs will be taken. Last summer a naval expedition went out after dolphin but got only one -- with a harpoon. It provided data which has encouraged naval technicians to go further with re- search into the movement of sub- marine-shaped fish and the resist- ances set up by their skins, Experiments so far have shown that a school of dolphin can travel at more than 11 knots and even then may not be going at top speed The Admiralty wants to know more about the dolphin's ability to do 11 knots with the equivalent of 1.2 horsepower and the porpoise's possible 20 knots with a strength equal to 6.4 horsepower. A whale has the equivalent of 520 horse- power, but the fastest whale can only do 20 knots.

Goodfellow to which extended reference has already been made in The Times-Gazette, it can in all sincerity be said that the Town of Whitby has sustained an irreparable loss. The news came as a terrific shock, for, of a truth, he was one of the town's finest citizens. Graydon Goodfellow inherited from his revered father, the late Charles A. Goodfellow, and his aged mother, who is still with us, those traits qf character which, when em- braced and developed make men great. Grounded firmly on the rock of honesty, sincerity of purpose, and kind and sympathetic understanding, his whole life was a shining example of the ideal citizen. He believed that no man can live in a community and not be of it. An outstanding athlete in his school days, he was noted for his manly sportsmanship which won for him athletic honors. On the athletic field, he learned to play the game and this was something that remained with him all during his life. His friends--and they were legion--knew him as a quiet and unassuming Christian gentleman. Through many avenues of service to his fellows he made his maximum contribution to the sum total of human happiness in Whitby and in the district around. As a newspaper publisher in Whitby for many years, Graydon Goodfellow believed in the power and influence of the press, and he made the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle a community service organization, giving generous and loyal support to everything that he considered was of public bene- fit. As he entered the larger publishing field after the amalgamation of his newspaper with the Oshawa Daily Times, he kept these same principles in mind, and, too, they found expression in all that he undertook for organizations of various kinds with which he was closely and actively con- nected. Despite the extensive business interests which kept him very busy, Graydon Goodfellow found time to be gracious, and to give full and tangible meaning to the highest ideals of community service. His wise counsel and able reasoning were oftimes potent factors in decisions reached by those directing the various community activities in which he was keenly and actively interested. No task assigned to him was considered to be too great. He regarded both the greater and lesser tasks for the benefit of others as a sacred trust, imposing upon him obligations not to be lightly assumed or deviated therefrom. In all things Graydon Goodfellow was every inch the man, He was one who commanded the respect and esteem of all. One of his chief humanitarian interests was the Red Cross Society, which he served for ten years. In the trying days of the war, when the activities of the Whitby branch were varied and many, and all directed to the furtherance of Canada's war effort, Mr. Goodfellow as president was a tower of strength. His service to the Red Cross was fittingly recognized on his retirement three years ago when he was presented with a handsome desk set. For a busy man like Mr. Goodfellow the time he was required to spend in Red Cross work was considerable, sacrifice, and involved a great deal of So, with heavy hearts the citizens of Whitby pause to- day to pay tribute to a great and genial soul. Sorrow, how- ever, does not becloud the fact that the town is better today because he lived and worked in it. To the bereaved wife and daughters, aged mother and other relatives who mourn there goes out from many hearts the deepest and most sincere sympathy.--J.H.O. Opinions Divided On Parking Meter Value If parki in Whitby, as is proposed by town council, it will not meet with the wholehearted approval of citizens, according t~ the results of a survey made by this paper yesterday. Approaching persons at random The Times-Gazette gleaned the follow= ing opinions: Stanley Mann, Pickering Beach: "I come to town two or three times each week on business or to shop Especially at the end of the week, it is hard to find a place to park. I hope they will leave decent space between the meters, not crowd them like in some towns; I have a long car and it is hard to park." Bud Goode, grain merchant: "Give meters a try here. What have we got to lose?" Whitby lawyer: "No." Former lice official: "They'll never stand up in court. We don't need them here. Why hasn'e.To~ ronto got them, if they are so effect- ive?" Whitby Jugal; "1 guess it would be a gocd thi ug." Insurance man: "Let's have meters. No - wait a minute, there are lots of reasons we shouldn't have them, iy should I have to spend a nickle every day when I come uptown for my groceries?" Bill Hurley, restaurateur: "Tour= ists don't like them. I don't like them. I think they would be det- rimental to business in general." Gordon Hawes: "I'm a pedes- trian." Gordon Mifflin, barber: 'Meters or not, make no difference to me. We are on two highways and I suppose meters are inevitable," Office ~'erk: "Meters will elimin- ate the nuisance created by the merchants ho park on the street to the detriment of outside shoppers and tourists. Properly operated, they are a sound source of revenue." Truck river: "It's hard to say." Executive: "If the town doesn't want the meter business, I'll take S------ ¥y meters are installed over. Is council's decision going to be based on my opinion? As for as I'm concerned they are a darn nuisance, but they are all right for the other fellow. Tell them not to place them by the fire hydrants or by the bus station where I park. Nn the whole, I favor them. They prevert overparking and will produce revenue. Oshawa business man: "I come to Whitby twice a week to make local calls, I do not feel that there is any parking problem here. They are not necessary. I sure hate putting the cent in the Oshawa meters. Mr. Art (clothing retailer): "Keep the meters of of town. My customers who come over from Oshawa say it is a pleasure to come to a town that is free of this nui- sance." Insurance salesman: "I am fairly familiar with all the arguments pro and con pertaining to meters. My concllusion is that Whitby Is not large enough town to benefit ma- ' riall, from meters. The revenue would not be large. There is con- siderable feeling against them. Finally I do not think this town had any 'traffic problem' that would be assisted by metered parking." 7] ; Insulate with { "ROCKWOOL" Blowing Method "WE MAKE WARM FRIENDS" FREE ESTIMATES WALTER WARD PHONE WHITBY 2563 Whitby News In Brief Accounts of social events, , any news item of loeal interest and names of visitors are appreciated PHONE 708 'sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Ben Jones of McMaster Univer- sity, spent last weekend with his Mrs. H.

TEA POSTPONED The tea sponsored by the W.A, of the United Church which was to have been held on Thursday after- noon at the parsonage, has been postponed, out of respect to the late G. M. Goodfellow. POLICE BUDGET A budget totalling $11,239.20 has been submitted to the finance com- mittee by chairman of the Whitby Police Committee, Oscar Moore. This amount will be examined and passed upon both by the committee and by council as a whole. It in- cludes an amount for replacement of the present cruiser. TWO VAGS IN COURT A very short docket was presented at Whitby police court yesterday. Two vagrants were both freed. John Meakin, no address, was given three months suspended sentence. He"had been in jail for over one week, John Conlin of Lindsay was released without sentence to return home. He had been picked up under suspicious circumstances, BROOKLIN FIRE Breoklin firemen were called yesterday morning to the home of Charles Felton of Brooklin where a defective oil burner was causing trouble. Not only were the pipes on fire and burning strongly, but a small explosion blew the doors of the stove open and some burning oil started a blaze on the floor. However, damage was not extensive. Bible Study Class Continues To Grow At Baptist Church The Inter-faith Bible Study Class which meets each Wednesday even- ing in the Baptist Sunday School Hall, has proven by the increasing response to it that it meets a very real need in the lives of many peo- ple. There is frank and free discussion around the actual text of the Bible. No one view is put forth as the only answer, The great timeless message of the Book and its very real mean- ing for our times is kept always to the front. The feeling, as folks of all churches gather together around the Word of God, is that here is the one common foundation of our faith and fellowship. We do not all form the same creed from what the Bible says to us, but we all feel that it does speak to us the great ons that are common to Chris- tiafi religion and life everywhere. As Dr. Eltoh Trueblood has put it, somehow we feel that we are nearer to 586 B.C. than to 1913 AD. The ancient prophets speaking in a world with moral problems much akin to our own, have a real mes- sage for every Christian today. Christians of all faiths are find- ing these studies of real help to Interesting Of Popular Review Book Given At Rotay Club gook, "Eastern Approaches," by Fitzroy Maclean, was given by Gordon Grobb at the weekly lunch- eon of Whitby Rotary Club at Hotel Royal on Tuesday afternoon. Dem- onstrating a keen knowledge of world affairs, and of the history of the writer, Mr. Grobb's address was well received. Mr. Grobb in his review told how the writer, a young Scotsman, still in his thirties, in the British dip- lomatic service in 1837, was trans- ferred to Paris' and from there to Moscow. In that city duriing the purge trials of 1938 he sat as the official British observer when Buk- harin, Yagoda, Rykov and Krestin- ski, witih other Bolshevik leaders, were accused individually and col- lectively with high treason, and other crimes against the state, to all of which, under usual Russian court procedure, they pleaded guilty and were condemned. Part two of the book, Mr. Osborne stated, deals with the resignation of the author and his enlistment as a private with the Cameron High- landers, his months of training; his return to London to enter poli- tics, winning a bye-election and becoming the member for Lanca- shire, although he did not sit in the Commons until after the war. Then, in 1941 he went to Egypt's capital, Cario, serving in the special air service brigade formed by David Stirling. He told of his association with the Long Range Desert Group which made raids behind the enemy lines; the big raid in 1942 on Bengazi to blow up ships in the harbour, and other thrilling but important war ex- periences in that part of the coun- try; his experiences in Persia; the day he was summoned to London by Prime Minister Churchill to be commissioned to get certain infor- mation in Yugoslavia as to who was killing the most Germans in that country, Tito or Mihallovic, so that An illuminating review of the Britain and her allies might back them, and other experiences. Mr. Grobb gave a very interesting his- tory of Vugoslavia, that country now governed by Marshal Tito, its historical background and the im- portant part it plays in the present world struggle as Tito and Russia's Joseph Stalin are at odds. He re- called that Maclean had asked if Yugoslavia would be an independent state or part of the Soviet Union after the war, to which the Mar- shal replied: "You must remember the sacriiices we are making in this struggle for our independence. Hundreds of thousands of Yugoslavs have suffered torture and death, men, women and children; vast areas of -our countryside have been laid - waste. You need not suppose that we shall lightly cast aside a prize which has been won at such cost." Mr. Grobb told how Maclean, now a brigadier-general, assisted by a handful of picked men, followed the fortunes of the Partisans and Cet- n" 3. The allies gave support to the latter, but the only source of sup- plies for the Partisans led by Tito was what they captured from the enemy. In 1943 the Partisans, 150,~ 000 strong, with scattered bands of various strength, al] directed by Tito, and with no fixed lines of defense, would strike and fade, This situation was always fluid and there was no evidence of Soviet contro} or intervention. Many journeys across country were recorded; the Ger- mans finall: drove Tito to the Dal- matian Islands and to Italy. Later Russia cssisted in driving out Ger- mans and the allies gave arms, etc. The speal.er read several passages from the book and wound up by saying that Maclean, as already noted still in his thirties, is prob- ably busily engaged today in the British election campaign. The vote of thanks to Mr. Grobb was moved by Francis J. McIntyre, Recreational Association Activities Serve Many Here A very interesting compilation has been made showing the extent to which actlyities of the Whitby Recreational Association serve var- ious members of the community.
