PAE FOUR "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATU RDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1950 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Suggest Swimming Pool Take Precedence Over New Arena A new arena with aruificial ice would cost at least $150,000 and, , further, it would be costly to oper- ate, it was stated at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday . night. Gordon McMahon, director of -récreation, while making it cléar that he had no desire to put a - damper on a new rink project, such as had been suggested' at the meet- -fng of the Chamber last month by President William Davidson, gave it as his opinion that the $150,000 was a conservative figure, judging from costs incurred in other places where "rinks were in existence. Artificial ice plants, he pointed out, were costly -to operate. He cited the Town of Lindsay where the operat ig cost of ,the arena is $400 a week. Mr, Mc- Mahon was of the opinion that the revenue from such a venture here would not be apything like suffi- cient, and further, he noted that in some places artificial ice plants had been abandoned as unprofitable. There was the case of Belleville which found this to be the. case under private ownership. After the eity took it over, however, the plant was restored but no figures were available as to how the city was making out, George Tonks, chairman of the ~Qivic Affairs Committee, who had been asked last month to consider the new arena proposal and bring in a report, informed the meeting that he had written away to Man- jtoba, where several community : ¥inks projects had been undertaken, to get some information. He sald that 'when he learned that the Taylor Arena could be bought he made an examination and found that the superstructure was in fairly good shape but he figured that it might be strengthened, also that a new room was required. Mr. Tonks was of the opinion that the building could be fixed up to meet the needs of the community as far as a rink was concerned. Inasmuch as the present owner of 'the arena, Mr. Taylor, had inti- mated that he was prepared to sell at a certain figure, Mr. McMahon said that some consideration might be given to its purchase and renova- ion, to meet the needs of the com- : munity, The question of a building . which could also be used as a com- munity centre was one that would require considerable thought, he said. 2 Mr. McMahon, who had been ask- «dt for his view by the president, ; pointed out that so far as skating « for the children was concerned, this : had been an 'exceptional season as # there had been so little ice. How- © ever, he expressed the view that I under normal conditions sufficient facilities for the children were ; available, and did not think they ; would be added to in an artificial . arena. ! Mr. Robert G. Langford, a mem- * ber of the Board of Directors and ; chairman of the P,U.C., suggested 7 a wider view of a community cen- » tre which would include not only an + arena but a baseball diamond, etc. He said that there was a great need * in Whitby for space where children + could play and for community pur- " Ses. President Davidson agreed with a » sugestion made by James Taylor i that Whitby should do one thing at : a time and do it right in the matter « of a community centre, mentioning ! the swimming pool now under con- : struction which, he estimated, would . require another $5,000 to complete. I Here was something for the children * which would be of great benefit and + he felt that it should be completed. S "I feel that with this Information © at hand this Chamber of Commerce * might well do something to get the { swimming pool completed," Presi- - dent Davidson declared, and several - members concurred. * The question will be further dis- « cussed at the Chamber's ne » meeting. ADDITIONAL WHITBY NEWS ON PAGE 5 Proj ect Receiving Charge Adjourned Follownig some very able argu- ment between counsel in County Court yesterday morning, Judge D. C. Coleman permitted an adjourn- ment, sine die, in the case af Wil- liam Kenneth Sommerville, 1328 William Street East, Oshawa, charg- ed with receiving stolen automo- bile. accessories. The trial was to have proceeded yesterday. The ac- cused is defended by J. P. Man- gan, K.C. Sommerville is charged with re- ceiving goods stolen from General Motors and a second Oshawa man, Francis Harry Ring, 283 French Street, is charged with theft of the goods. At the opening of court, Crown Attorney Alex Hall made a mo- tion asking for a remand. He said that his case hinged around the Ring case which is to be tried in June and that since there was no way to identify auto parts in com- mon use, he would wish to rely up- on what Ring might as a Crown witness say after he has been tried. The disposal of a statement from Ring would also have an important bearing upon the Sommerville case. Pointing out that the motion came as a surprise, Mr. Mangan pressed for the case to proceed in fairness to his client. Having listened to all the argument, Judge Coleman came to the conclusion that, in the interests of justice, he should en- large the case. The charge was laid last Dec. 17 by Oshawa Constable Henry King. Subsequently, a statement from Sommerville, led to the arrest of Ring. At the preliminary hear- ing, Ring identified the accessor- ies which included voltage con- trols, radiator cores, batteries," sol- der bars and other items. General Motors Police Chief W. Mills said the parts were of the same type used by his firm. Bail continues at $500 for each man. Life Of Chopin Subject At Junior Castle Chapter The February meeting of the Junior Castle Chapter Alumnae of Ontario Ladies' College was held at the home of Mrs. Robert Gray, Col- borne St., Oshawa. The following members were add- ed to the special committee in charge of arrangements for the Chapter's Bridge Night, to be held Wednesday night, April 12: Lucille Gray, Betty Piatti and Natalie Brown. In charge of special departments of the preparations are--Tickets, Ruth Brant, phone 561, Whitby; Peggy Sawyer, phone 594-J, Osh- awa. Refreshments, Betty Moffat. Correspondence, Ruth Taylor. Following the business, Miss Amy Williams of the music staff of the College gave an interesting and in- structive talk on the life and music of Frederic Francois Chopin. De- scribing the great composer as the "poet of the piano," Miss Williams drew a brief, clear picture of the slight, delicate man who, born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1810, was recog- nized by the Polish nobility as an extremely talented boy, when at the age of nine he played a piano con- certo in public. From that time until his tragically early death in 1849 he was recognized. more and xt | more as a musical genius. With some interesting and in- formative remarks about the type and quality of the music which Chopin composed, Miss Williams FARRAR Shows at 7.00 and 9.00.

Following a committee meeting this week, Stanley Martin, chairman of the Applicans Committee said that five men would be interviewed and a selection soon made. Four months ago, when a similar position was open in Whitby, only 15 applica- tions were received. It is felt that the deterioration in employment is the reason for the large number of applications now.

Suave and straightforward in manner, Mr. McGillen gave a high- ly informative and entertaining talk. Bits of philosophy gleaned from outdoor experiences, applicable to everyday life, werd thrown in for good measure. Especially interested in maskinonge from the standpoint of its being a very large tourist at- traction and the premier trophy fish, Mr. McGillen devoted most of his talk to that subject. Many of the tall tales he told concerning that fish, were abso- flutely true. He himself witnessed a muskie kill and eat a swimming rabbit; another he cut open to find a beer bottle in its stomach; an- other jumped clear of the water to catch a bird. Over 300 letters a week vouch for the popularity of his Outdoors column. His journalistic philosophy is that readers want something other than trouble and scandle in their newspapers. They like to sit down in the evening to read about out-of-doors activities. The fabulous muskie is "the goose that lays the golden egg" of the Ontario tourist business and each fish is estimated to be worth be- tween $100 and $1,000 to the prov- ince. As the outstanding game fish, it is a thrill to catch. Carnivorous, they will often snap at everything including the rotating propellor of an outboard motor. - Modern methods of spawning the fish under artificial conditions, bid fair to produce sufficient fish so that it. may again take its proper place and be found without too much difficulty. Nothing thrills a fisherman more than to play one in and see its beedy, tiger-fighting eyes approach the boat. Mr. McGillen exploded a number WORK GUARANTEED Complete check-up. Wringer grease and gear ofl changed. Wringer rolls tn Special ¥ Fabulous Trophy Fish » Muskie Is Interesting Topic By McGillen of incorrect beliefs about the muskie. Strongly he lashed out against those who break the law by spearing fish, taking them out of season or below the legal size. The muskie is declining mostly because of widefpread poaching in the spring and because citizens tacitly allow the practice without report- ing it to game oversearers. He said that the public needs a "mental housecleaning" in, its thinking re= garding game laws and that he will continue to press for an increase in the minimum fine for taking muskies out of season. Concluding, Mr. McGillen related some of the legends of the woods which he has created in his own columns. Acting for the president, who was absent, Harold Augustus heartily thanked the speaker for one of the best addresses the local club has ever heard. Also present at the meeting was Game Overseer, Ben £Lmith, who instructed members in various phases of current game regulations. An invitation was extended to Otto Hamilton of Port Perry for the Whitby club to go there on March 9 for a rifle and bait-casting cone test.
