Oshawa Couple Return From Business Sojourn THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITRY VOL. 9--No. 202 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1950 PAGE THREE Beaverton Robbery Was Well Planned Aug. 30--Provincial police searching for three gunmen who staged the biggest bank rob- bery in Canadian history here Sat- urday, said that they have never seen a robbery so well planned. Bonds amounting to about $330.- 000 were stolen, in addition to about $13,000 in cash, which makes | it a bigger robbery than the Baths Ont., bank in 1946 which had been | regarded as Canada's biggest. About $200,000 was stolen in that robbery. The car used in Saturday's open- ing hour hold-up was found in a densely wooded area about 12 miles south of the bank. The thugs made the dash for the hideaway at speeds exceeding 75 and 80 miles an hour and were hidden away by the time a score of police cruisers ringed the area. Later in the afternoon they came from their hiding place and made a dash for Toronto in another car fitted with license plates that be- longed to the car used in the bank robbery. When the bank was held up, plates stolen in Toronto Friday night were affixed to the car, and the plates belonging to Charles Morton's car, stolen in York town- ship Friday night, were on the car used later. This had been hidden in the bush. | Police said there is evidence that | the whole robbery had been plann- ed for days, if not weeks, in ad- vance. The getaway car was put into the wooded area after part of a fence was removed. Speeding away from the bank with their loot, they hardly had to slow down to turn into the field that led to the spot where they changed cars, waited for a few hours and then broke through the ring of police cars which had been thrown around the district. Special Do Planned At Connaught Despite the Oshawa Boys' Boxing Championships at the Stadium to- night, Connaught Park Neighbor- hood Association aren't worrying about their crowd. For the past few weeks the Connaught Park spe- cial events every V'ednesday night have been drawing crowds of up to five hundred adults, and it is con- fidentially expected that despite tonight's counter attraction, a big- ger crowd than ever will be out for the final do 'of the Associa- tion's season. ; With Connaught Park in the run- ning for the playground champion- ship this summer a really bang-up do is expected from the races and the stage show which Connaught Park youngsters aer producing themselves, and if the adults get tired of admiring their youngsters show, there will be bingo, games of chance and refreshments for all, The program will start at 6 p.m. and a special invitation is extend- ed to the people who live north of Louisa Street and West of Simcoe Street, to come along and see what Connaught Park can do.

Beaverton, Bingo Plans Discussed By Lions Club At a regular meeting of the Osh- awa Lions Club at the Adelaide House last night, final plans were discussed for the Monster Bingo and Car Draw which are to take place at the Oshawa Arena on Fri- day, September 1. The intricate workings of monster bingo were explained to the membership by Lion John Borrowdale and jobs al- located to all the members. Lion Tom Hart, Chairman of the Car Draw Committee, reported that the sale of car tickets up to the present was going pretty well. The formation of a Ladies' Auxi- liary was discussed and it was de- cided to invite the ladies to a di- recors' meeting at the Genosha Hotel on Tuesday, September 19, at which time plans could be dis- cussed for the formation of such an | § Auxiliary. It was decided to purchase a wheel chair for the use of the in- mates of the Ontario County Home Seventh-Day Adventist Conference In Session | | Ladies' Ordained to the gospel ministry at Saturday night's session of the Seventh-day Adventist Conference were, left to right, Pastor R.

A message received from the blind people of Oshawa thanked | the Lions Club for their assistance | in organizing a picnic for the blind | at Lakeview Park recently. Miss Sylvia Motley, guest enter- tainer of the evening, favored the | membership with a few well chosen | popular songs which were very well received. Rail Strike May Be Hard On Canners District canners of tomatoes and other produce may be hard hit before long if the rail strike con- tinues. Can manufacturers ship al- most exclusively by rail, and they say that any move to get the cans out to customers while the strike is on will have to come from the customers themselves. Officials of the Continental Can Company of Canada, which sup- | plies the bulk of cans for the | district said that they have ample stocks of tinplate and all other materials necessary for production on hand. The sticker in the deal, however, is transportation for the cans. The company has notified all its customers that if they can get trucks to the manufacturing plants at Ville St. Laurent and New Toronte, they will be able to obtain all the cans they require. The strike, officials said, is com- ing just at the time when the canning peak Is being approached. Tomatoes and corn are just about ready for canning, and the end of this week will see what company officials describe as the "absolute peak period." This demand, they say, will last for about 10 days after which it will taper off. Authorities emphasize that there is no shortage of cans, but that their hands are tied with regard to transportation. Fearful War With Russia Is Predicted "I look for a fearful war with the Union of Soviet Russia, a struggle from which the Roman Catholic Church will emerge as the domi- nating world power in politics and in religion," said Henry Brown, secretary of the Home Missionary Department of the General Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventists. Mr. Brown, a resident of Washing- ton, D.C., spoke to a large audience yesterday at the regular camp meeting session of Seventh-day Adventists on the campus of ®sh- awa Missionary College. _ Mr. Brown traced the foreshadow- ings of a tremendous world conflict developing from the aggressive | Comniunist-drives in various parts | of the world; also, with startling | accuracy traced the momentous | political, social and religious drives! of the Roman Church. The speaker warned that Protestantism stands | today in the unique position of arbi- | trating between these two forces. | "But," added the speaker, "Pro- testantism has lost its vision," and added, "The Roman Catholic Church and Communists are laughing today oth the moral decay of Protestant- Mr. Brown, world traveller and lecturer, recently returned from 'an extensive trip on the continents of Europe and Africa, asserted that "Romanism has failed its millions in Europe; poverty, war, wretched- ness, Communism feeds on Roman ground." The speaker concluded his chal- lenging address by calling upon the large congregation to return more | fully to the exalted ideals of Jesus | Christ. | N MPS EEL AN --Times-Gazette Staff Photo.

Better Job on Weedy Land Is Promised Hay fever sufferers and people who are susceptible to various al- lergies caused through the inhala- tion of pollen-laden air are finding this season the most difficult in the year. A number of complaints about weeds in the city have been re- ceived by the City Engineer's de- | partment. Up until this year it has | been very difficult to cope with weed growth in the city because all the equipment available was a | horse-drawn mower. However, city employees have acquired a tractor- mounted mower and it is expected that it will be much more efficient 'and do a good deal more work.

Boy Suffers Severe Cuts To His Arm Barry Wood, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Wood, 125 Brock Street East, is recovering from se- vere cuts on his arm suffered Sat- urday night when he fell through the glass panel in the front door of his home. Most of the stitches were removed yesterday. Barry, who had been in bed, came downstairs about 10:30 on Saturday evening and went running through the hall. He slipped on the carpet and the arm which he ut out to save himself plunged through the pane of glass in the front door. His arm was cut deeply by the broken glass and as he drew back his arm quickly, he injured it more severely. He was attended by Dr. C. W. Ferrier who stated that the muscles and tendons in the arm were badly cut. EIGHT-LEAF CLOVER If a four-leaf clover is lucky, Marion Fisher, 356 Ritson Road North, should be doubly lucky.

Seventh-Day Adventists Confer Here Thousands of Seventh-day Ad- ventists assembled during the week-end in the Oshawa Missionary College auditorium where the ninth biennial session will convene until Sunday, September 3. Throughout the Sakbath services the denomination's leaders deliver- ed timely discourses and addressed to their hearers earnest pleas for a deeper consecration and urged a vigorous step forward towards the consummation of the sacred task of evangelism entrusted to the Ad- vent church. H. M. S. Richards, radio evan- | gelist of the Voice of Prophecy, | assisted by E. R. Walde of the King's | Heralds Quartet, on 'the opening | night spoke on his recent world tour under the attractive heading, "Thirty Thousand Miles of Mir- acles." In addition to the Adventist delegation, many friends from the local community enjoyed this mini- stry in word and song and again the seating capacity of the newly- erected auditorium was taxed to the utmost. Pastor G. Eric Jones, re-elected president of the Ontario-Quebec Conference, chose as his topic "Seek Ye His Righteousness" and appealed to the assembly for a deeper devotion to the things of God and urged renunciation of the | sins which so easily beset the mod- | ern world today. | The vice-president of the General | Conference for North America, W. B. Ochs of Washington, D.C. de-| livered a powerful address at divine | service and in seeking a renewed | pledge of loyalty to the cause and truth of Christ, many responded to the call from the altar. A spirit of sacrificial giving with- out parallel in the history of the] Conference was indicative of the | world-wide per capita giving of | Seventh-day Adventists to the Master they serve and the cause they love. DATES TO REMEMBER! OSHAWA FAIR * SEPT. I4.I5.16 ONT. COUNTY'S GREATEST 1950 EVENT ENE Frances Smykal (age 7'2), accor- | In India Worked For Bata Shoe Firm Near City of Calcutta "Oh, but definitely, there's no place like home," stated Alex Shestowski, 33-year-old development officer of the Ba- ta Shoe Company, when asked by a Times-Gazette reporter whether he still preferred Canada to India after his three and a half year sojourn there. "Canada is highly respected by# every person we met abroad," con- | tinued Mr. Shetowsky "and every- | body envied us because we were coming back to this country." Mr. Shestowsky and his wife, with Mr. Fletcher of Toronto were or- dered to Batanagar, a cémpany co- lony by Bata in January 1947. They returned from there in July of this year, In going to and returnmg from India, they made a round-the- world trip. Leaving Canada they went cross-country and left for In- dia by ship from San Francisco touching at Hong Kong and Singa- pore en route. On the way home they travelled by ship through the Indian Ocean, the Suez "anal, the Mediterranean and England. Lived Near Calcutta In India they lived in Batanagar which is just 19 miles from Calcutta. Their colony was composed mostly of Czechs who were employed in ad- ministrative posts in the large fac- tory. A native village where the workers in the plant lived was situ- ated just outside the colony. Mr. Shestowski got along with the people very well and for the most part they had a great respect for Canada and Canadians as a whole. The contrast between rich and poor in this land was im- mediately noticeable when they left the boat. At first they found the customs and mode of living very strange but soon became accustomed | to these. The hardest thing to get used to, they found, was the hundreds and hundreds of beggars which swarmed in the cities. On their visits to the neighboring city of Cal- cutta, they were surrounded by beg- gars as soon as they set foot on the street. Mr. and Mrs. Shestowski were in India for both Independence Day and at the time of partition. When the Independence Day celebrations were held, the Europeans held them- selves in readiness for any event- uality as they feared that the na- tives might try to show their in- dependence Dy turning on employers. frequent | their | The natives, who worked for the company, had been educated to | maintain law and order and they did not cause any trouble. | Religious Strife Growing | Strife between religions grew gradually, however, after partition. | West Bengal in which® Calcutta is | situated is in India and is under | the control of the Hindus but had . |a large Moslem minority.
