"I didn't know what to do", Mrs. Van DeWalker said yesterday af- ternoon. "I thought we had per- mission to stay until the end of the month at least. Now, it seems that this may not be permitted.

An auto owned by Mike Weecha, | 193 St. Julien Street, received al damaged right front fender some | time between the hours of 9 Friday.and 2.30 a.m. this morning. He said he parked his car on Olive Avenue around 9 o'clock and when | he returned at approximately 2.30] a.m. he discovered the damaged fender. Faint traces of gray paint found on the damaged sections were thought to be from the unidenti- | fied vehicle which struck Weecha's | car, Edward Crocker, 216 Park Road North, blamed the fact that he was cleaning his windshield when he ran into a parked auto on Simcoe Street South at 1 am. today. | Crocker, who was driving north on Simcoe Street South in his father's | car, ran into a parked vehicle own- ed by Hubert Brennan, 381 Simcoe Street South. Damage was minor and no one was injured. An automobile was .damaged about the hood last night when it ran into an Oshawa Street Railway shunter, on Albert Street. Leo Bird, 169 Bloor Street East, said he was | driving ' south on Albert Street | around J0.15.p.m. yesterday when | a shunter crossed the street from | the west to the east side. Bird told | investigating police that he had ap- plied his brakes as soon as he | noticed the heavy shunter, about 15 to 20 feet back. It is reported that due to heavy slush, Bird's vehicle skidded on into the shunter, striking it almost "dead centre." Neither Bird nor a number of] passengers in his car were injured. | |R. E.

Selling pressure continued com- paratively heavy. Trading activity slowed to a crawl when sellers pre- dominated and increased when buyers held the field. This is con- sidered by streeters an indication of solidity in the market. The ccal strike in the United Seates began to show effects on industry and mounting unemploy= ment figures kept investors wary. New York was open for four days, with the "market closed Monday, Lincoln's birthday. Prices slipped Tuesday and Wednesday, though individual groups found support. Rails pulled the market upwards Thursday and held the leadership in a comparatively strong advance Friday. The Associated Press 60= stock average closed the four days at 73.6, a gain of .1 from the pre- vious Friday, Canadian markets ended lower over five days of trading. A late recovery movement Friday failed to erase earlier losses. In Toronto, industrials dipped 1.07 on the exchange's index. Paper and steel stocks attracted consid= erable attention for some good gains. Base metals also slumped on the index, losing 1.64. Golds eased 23. Volume for the five days was 3,759,000 shares, compared with 5,170,000 shares of the previous week. It was one of the quietest weeks in some time. Grain mar- kets were mixed from the previous Friday. Production of Autos Increased Detroit--Production. of cars and trucks in the U.S. and Canada is estimated at 125,936, or 200 units above last week's figure, according to Ward's automotive results The output was made up of 95,434 cars and 22,898 trucks built in the U.S., and 5,717 cars and 1,887 trucks in Canada. Loss of production due to the Chrysler strike has passed 100,000 units, Ward's said. Despite the Chrysler closedown |a:.d curtailment of General Motors' overtime due to the coal strike, vehicle production continues at a 6,000,000-unit annual rate, the agency pointed out. It said record production by Studebaker, Nash, Ford, Mercury and General Motors divisions were keeping the output volume high, Lively At 96 (Continued from Page 1) | two weeks and one of her receit selections was Dear Mr. President, by Irma Smith, no relation.

Found Honesty Worthwhile The children in her neighborhood often chased horse-drawn police carts which carried the prisoner | seated on a chair with two officers | holding him. "My first lesson in honesty," Mrs. Smith recalled, "was being sent to a store to buy something and spend- ing the money on candy. I found that honesty was worthwhile.
