Mr. Mc-. Veity has this to say about the fair: "We live today in an age where! labor-saving devices and changing | economic and industrial conditions are giving us ever-increasing leis- ure hours. Some indication of the satisfying and constructive use to which the people of the Greater Oshawa district are putting their new-born leisure may be found in the wide range of creative talent on display and it is the earnest hope of the Oshawa and District' Community Recreation Associatiog that this annual event will con- tinue to provide an effective show window for the hobby interests for this part of Canada". Mayor Michael Starr termed the Hobby Fair one of the "outstanding fairs of its kind in Ontario". "That is a high token of praise to Mr. Quin, the C.R.A. board and | all those who took part in molding | the show together ,especially the hundreds of exhibitors," Mayor Starr stated, "Not only is the C.R.A. to be congratulated on this fine show but also of the other recreation activities it carries on in the city. The C.R.A. here in Osh- awa, I believe, is oné of the best to be found anywhere".

TRUCK, AUTO COLLIDE slight damage was sustained to a truck and automobile when they collided early last night on Simcoe Street North. No one was injured. William Kolenko, R. R. 2, Oshawa, told police he was driving his car south on Simcoe Street North when a truck operated by Franklin Harris, 70 McGregor Street, backed out of a drive way on the west side of thé street and struck the right rear fender of his vehicle. Harris told investigating officers he did not see the southbound car, U.S. Railway (Continued from page 1) some progress is being made toward settlement, the strike may be postponed." However, a railroad spokesman Daniel B. Loomis, chairman of the Association of Western Railways, said: "Despite the strike threat, the railroads will stick to their de- cision of refusing to grant the make-work demands of the union . . Strike or no strike, no addi- tional firemen will be employed on Diesel electric locomotives, which have no fires to tend." Th strike will be against the Pennsylvania system west of Har- risburg, Pa.; the entire Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system; the Dance Hall (Continued from page 1) Greer stated, "My client was present I know, but not at a per- formance." Quoting several dic- tionary explanations of the word "performance", McGarry's defense counsel declared that the word means "an act or play." Mr. Greer said that young couples attending a dance and dancing among them- selves was not a performance, "A demonstration or vaudeville or may- be even a television show might be classed as a demonstration but cer- tainly not a dance," declared Mr. Greer. He said there was no at- traction other than the club hold- ing a dance, which was limited to members only. As evidence Mr. Greer produced a sign taken from the wall outside the door leading into the dance floor which read, "Limited to Mem- bers Only." Referring to The Lord's Day Act, Mr. Greer stated, "Archaic as it is I think it refers more spe- cifically to competitions than dances." "As for a public meeting," on Mr. Greer, "could anyone by any stretch of the imagination call that dance a public meeting." Mr. Greer said that insofar as paying for ad- mission was concerned, "Take golf for instance. That's an expensive sport, It costs high yearly dues plus | extra for any Sunday night enter- tainment." Mr. Greer sald he sub- mitted that the Crown had failed to make a case and asked the bench to give McGarry the benefit of the doubt. In replying to Mr. Greer's de- K.C, said, "Although the Lord's Day Act causes a great deal of con- fusion, it is our sworn duty to up- | hold the law." He charged that 'he music for the dances, which was supplied by a record player, was entertainment. He stated that is what the youths and girls paid for, | "so they could dance." The Crown Attorney said it wasn't "Whether or not it was entertainment, so much as did the dancers think it was en- tertainment." Hall said that any one was admitted if they paid the admission, whether they were mem- bers or not. Never On Dance Floor Questioning Detective - Sergeant went | Sergeant Alexander testified that McCrohan received $50 for each Sunday night the Teen Club used the Pavilion. "As for Mr. McCro- han's office," declared the Crown Attorney, "it's just as much a part of the Pavilion as the coat rooms or telephone booths. Mr. McCro- han's counsel raised objection at this point saying, "I don't think McCrohan's office is in the same class as the public coat room or telephone -booths." Dance Was Orderly When giving evidence, which was supported by Detective-Sergeant McCammond, Detective - Sergeant Alexander said that the dance was run in an orderly fashion. He stated that when he arrived at the Pavilion around 825 p.m. he watch- ed a number of young couples gain admission to the floor by paying 50 cents. The officer said this was limited to members only. Accord- ing to his statement out-of-town guests paid 50 cents for a special green guest card and then had to pay another 50 cents for admission. Alexander said a refreshment bar | sold soft drinks and hotdogs for i 10 cents each. dance floor," testified Alexander. 'The officer reported seeing two men | He | under 'the influence of liquor. : said there were approximately 250 | to 300 present at the dance. After watching for almost an hour Alex- ander said they approached Mec- Garry, who was most co-operative in supplying any information they desired. He later took them to Mc- Crohan's office where he, too, was most helpful. Alexander told the court that McGarry produced the fense, Crown Attorney Alex C.

At the completion of the hearing the teenagers gathered outside the courtroom and talked excitedly about the outcome of the case.

The waiter said there was no indication at that time that Snowdon had been in any kind of fight. The body was found by the care- taker of the St. Thomas Acquinas Separate School.

Shawinigan Falls is an industrial centre with a population of more than 20,000, about 120 miles east of Montreal. Arrests following the riot were impossible, Mayor Roy said, adding that as many as 2,000 persons were present at the height of the demon stration and the city police force had only 10 men available. Some 40 persons attending the service were trapped inside the building for two hours while stones, eggs and empty bottles were hurled at the hall. No injuries were re- ported, but the building and an automobile parked nearby were damaged.
