PAGE FOUR THE DAIL® TIMES.-BAZETTE MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1950 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Girl, 9, Stuck in Mud 45 Minutes Rescued Firemen By Whitby Whitby firemen and a number of citizens rescued a badly frightened nine-year-old girl from a muddy bog-hole south-west of the Ontario Ladies' College at seven o'clock last evening. Thinking it over in her home afterwards, Mary Ann Hardy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hardy, 809 Athol Street South, agreed that she should have been more careful. "We were only looking for pussy=- willows," said Mary Ann, "I went out about four o'clock with Robert Whitney (six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Whitney). When it started to get dark about 6.15 we crossed the little creek on the way home but I got stuck in the mud. Bobby got scared and ran home for help;'I was up to my knees and couldn't move." While Robert was on the way home, Mary Ann's cries were heard by two teachers of the Ontario Ladies' College, Miss Joyce Leach and Miss Lecily White. They went close to 'where the little girl was stranded. Ma~v Ann called out her home telephone number. The teach- | ers telephoned her parents who in turn called the fire brigade. Neither | of the teachers" last night would | make any comment upon their part in the affair. "She was practically out when we | reached her but she was getting | weak," fireman said. Among those | making the rescue were Chief Bruce Corner, George Reed, Bud Brinning, | Bill Steffler, Jim Watson, Roy | Wilkinson and others. | All in all, the little girl must have | been in the cold mire for about 45 minutes though no one knows how long, She had been warned by her father to stay away from creeks, but very little water flows at the present time in tl > area where she got stuck. Doing her homework in the cosy kitchen last night, Mary Ann con- fessed that she was afraid she would get in deeper had she struggled harder .to get out. The spot where she became mired is beside two large elms, south-west of the college and about 400 yards north-east of her own home. She is a pupil in Miss Corbett's room at King Street Public School. Teachers Convene At Hillcrest School Today Teachers of the east half of Mr. A. A. Archibald's inspectorate are meeting this afternoon in Hillcrest Public School. The regional con- ference sees about 35 gathered to- gether for the purpose of hearing a talk on vocational guidance by Keith McIntyre of the Ontario De- partment of Education.

The eastbound vehicle contained a party going to the Markham-Peterborough hockey game in Oshawa. The driver and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woodcock of Markham, wére taken to Oshawa General Hospital where it was found that Mrs. Woodcock had sever?l severe lacerations. Other passengers in the car, Gordon Grigg, 24 of Brougham and Donald Lunau, 14, of Markham, were badly shaken up. The westbound car was driven by Russell Cornish, 60, of Whitby. Neither Mr. Cornish nor his pas- sengers, Mr, and Mrs. Melville Reeds | and Robert Wakeland were injur- | ed. | Provincial Constables Elmet | Hardy and Ray Williams investigat- led. It is believed charges of care- less driving will be laid. Following the impact, the Woodcock car came to rest facing north in a farm lane- way.. The Cornish car was forced into the south ditch, where is nar- rowly missed a large pine tree and ploughed through a fence. » Readers Views LIKED EDITORIAL Whitby Editor, Times-Gazette, Whitby, Ont. Dear Mr. Ormiston -- We the members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, appreciate the fine editorial in the local paper, Friday, February 24th, commenting on the splendid work the Union is doing among the boys and girls in our community, We wish to sin- cerely thank you for this editorial. It is indeed encouraging and much appreciated. Sincerely Mrs. D. J. A. KEAN, Cor. Sec. W.C.T.U, FROM THE LO.D.E. Mr. J. H. Ormiston, Whitby Editor, The Daily Times-Gazette. Dear Mr. Ormiston: At the re- cent annual meeting of Viscount Chapter of the I.ODE., it was voted that a letter be sent to you and members of your staff convey- ing our sincere thanks and appre- ciation for your kindness and co- operation during the past year. Yours sincerely, ELSIE E. BAILLIE, Secretary Whitby, Ont. April 2, 1950, . AN APPRECIATION Whitby Editor, Times-Gazette, Whitby. Dear Mr. Ormiston I would like to take this opportunity of publicly thanking you for your splendid support of our Red Cross Campaign which attained its ob- jective of $3,000. y We know that you were conver- sant with the initial difficulties of this drive, and /your handling of the publicity was all that could be wished for. The citizens were made acquainted with the reasons why we could not be included in the Community Chest, and the usual generous response was the result. The Times-Gazette has been more than sympathetic for each and every worthy cause, and the recent Red Cross appeal was certainly no exception, There were times during the month when the going was very difficult and the $3,000 goal seemed RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N. Whit'yy Tel, 707 "The Crucifixion," Sir John Stainer's beautiful and touching cantata, was 'given full interpreta- tion last night by the combined choirs of St. George's Anglican Church, Oshawa, Leon W. . Nash, choirmaster, and All Saints' Ang- lic-an Church, Whitby, John R. Robertson, choirmaster. Mr, Rob- ertson was at the organ. The cantata, a meditation on the sacred passion of Christ, details the story of Christ's trial, con- demnation and crucifixion, and His promise to His disciples that He would rise again. The rendition was beautiful and dignified, in keeping with its sacredness, and all parts were well taken. The combined choirs performed in complete harmony, and the solo- ists made a fine contribution to Stainer's immortal work. The soloists were Reginald Ter- rett, baritone; Frederick Curtis, tengr; Arthur Beevor, tenor; Don- ald Clarke, tenor and James Sheedy, tenor, During the cantata, the congre- gation was invited by the rector, Rev. Gordon Channen, to sing sev=- eral hymns in keeping with the story in stage by stage by the choir. Coming back to the rendition of the cantata, those who heard it Sketch Club Holds Interesting Exhibition Last Friday and Saturday in the Libary auditorium, members of Whitby sketch club held a showing of work which they have done in class under the tutelage of Aba Bayefsky of Toronto, club, Kenneth Platt and Mary Metcalfe, Here, two members of the place identifying tags on two pictures.

The expression through- out was excellent, and, as already noted, much credit is due to all the soloists for the manner in which they took their parts. The cantata: has always noted for its beauty wherever it has been rendered. Again, it is outstanding because it tells not only the story of the events leading up to the crucifixion and its actuality, but contains many scriptural ref- been erences, some from the Old Testa-! ment. The combined choirs gave clear and perfect expression to all of these, well balanced credit to all. The combined choirs in their chorus work, and the soloists, re- ceived the full support of the or- ganist who certainly did a very ex~ cellent although difficult job. The attendance was encouraging, and an offering taken up towards the close will go.to supplement the choir funds. The cantata will again be pre- sented in St. George's Church, Osh- awa, on Friday, April 7th, at 8 p.m, singing, certainly a a long way off, but the persistent | drive of the canvassers along with | | your consistent editorials and news | | reports brought, the campaign to a | successful conclusion. The officers and directors of the { local branch of the Red Cross join | me in saying "thank you" for a job well done. Yours sincerely GORDON OSBORNE, Campaign Chairman, Whitby, April 1, 1950.

In addi- tion there will be included onion sets, and aster plants. Each child participating will be required to pay 15 cents toward the cost of these seeds and plants, In- structions regarding planting and cultivation will be prepared and distributed with the seeds. The gardens will be judged in mid-season, and prizes awarded for the best boy's garden and the best girl's garden. During the fourth week in August, the Garden Club will hold its annual show, and it is hoped that the majority of Junior Gardeners will exhibit in the special junior classes. Children wishing to compete should fill out an application form which they will be given at school early this week, and then return it with the 15 cents to their teacher, not later than Wednesday. In a few days, the weather will be perfect for getting out in the garden and this contest provides boys and girls with an opportunity for guided training in the fine art of garden- ing. This is the third year the con- test has been held. Each year more enthusiastic youngsters participate. CATTLE INCREASED The total number of cattle in Australia in March, 19040, was 14,- 120,000 as compared with 13,790,000 the previous year. Revision of the indigent hose pitalization rates recently ane nounced by the Provincial Governe ment will result in a substantial in- crease in revenue to Oshawa General Hospital frcm the County of Ontario. At the last meeting of the county council, the whole ques- tion of upward revision of indigent rates was thoroughly discussed but no action taken in the belief that the provincial government should set standard rates throughout the province. This has now been done, though the new rates are not cone sidered by many to be high enough. Formerly the county paid $2.50 per day for maintenance of each indigent patient. Now the new rate is $3.50, still not high enough to pay actual costs. Ontario county last year paid out $14,715 for this type of hospitalization, $4,934 of which went to the Oshawa Hos- pital. Only about one-third of county indigents go to the Oshawa Hospital. This means that the county will pay the Oshawa Hos- pital approximately $1,900 more Many other patients go to the various Toronto Hospitals, to Sol diers' Memorial Hospital in Orillia and to Ross Memorial in Lindsay. For the two latter, being in Class "C", the rate increase is only 75¢ per day. All in all, the new rate structure will cost the county some $5,000 more than had been anticipated this year. : Members of the local county council had hoped that more of the huge cost of indigent hospitaliza- tion would be borne by the province. In view of the growing weight of municipal taxation, it is rapidly becoming necessary to decide what is properly a municipal expense chargeable to property taxes, and what is more appropriately borne by higher levels of government. FLEW OVER POLE The first aerial trip over the North Pole was made in 1926 by Commander Richard E. Byrd, an American flying explorer. ed, and in the course of a m g of comfort to the bereaved spoke of the long years of faithful service rendered by Mrs. Humphries not only to the Baptist Church but to the church universal. He said that her passing had caused widespread regret, for her husband was so well known in public service and church circles throughout the province. Rev. Mr. Darnell spoke of the kindly christian character of the deceased, 4nd of her untiring love and efforts for Christ in the Sunday School and in other branches of the church. He pointed out that while her loss here was hard to contem- plateand en...e by those bereaved, her entry into the presence of her Lord, and eternal happinness and enjoyment in His presence, was an occasion for joy. Rev. Mr, Darnell spoke of the assurance of immort- ality and of the blessed life beyond. After the service the body was conveyed to Pine Hill cemetery in Toronto. The bearers were James Bell, Norman Thomas, Fred Draper, Len Rich, Charles Baker and Charles Smart. Many beautiful floral tributes bore silent testimony to the love and esteem in which the deceased was held. 1950 Westinghouse REFRIGERATORS 7' "DELUXE" MODELS FROM $329.
