He got his | other hit in the fifth, another single. Neal and Dell each had two- | baggers with /D. Yuill getting the other hit, a single.

Hooper singled and on the play Yourth tried to score but was out on a neat throw-in from left field by Neal.

The Roses failed to score in the second as they managed to get one on via a walk with one out, but the next batier up hit into a neat double play. The Merchants the score up, at one each in their half of the second on two neat hits. The visitors started to roll in the third and came up with two runs off as many hits and one Whitby error. They, got another run-in the fifth to make it 4-1. 7-Run Rally The Bowmanville team started to rally in the seventh and they 'work- ed on three pitchers in this inning as they came up with five hits, one man hit by the pitcher, one free pass and (yipe!) three Merchant errors for seven runs and the Mer- chants were headed for the gate as far as the point of holding the Roses. MacDonald, who came in, held the visitors off the score sheet, however, in the last three frames, as he fanned one and gave up three | hits. It was a tough game for the Mer- chants, who just couldn't manage to get a big inning at all. They were bad afield as well as a. the plate, committing there six errors. Who Bowmanville will. meet in the next round of the O.B.A. playdowns was not definite after yesterday's game, but whoever jt is will find the Roses no easy pushover. Line-ups BOWMANVILLE ROSES T.

As sales supervisor with British- American Oil Company, Limited, he worked in Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener. Ottawa Borrowing 'Proposal Attacked Ottawa, Sept. 5 (CP)--The gov- | ernment's proposal to use $300,000,- 000 in borrowed money to finance its arms program for Europe and Can- lada was attacked in the Commons i Saturday by the financial critic of | the official opposition who said that is precisely the method then Finance Minister Ilsley opposed in 1939. J. M. Macdonnell (PC--Toronto Greenwood) said borrowing at this stage of Canada's economy could only add to an early serious infla- tionary spiral. It was the most ex- treme and naked form of inflation because instead of draining off pur- chasing power it poured more money into the buying stream.

Pood ge REFILL OLD WELL One of the major places where fill was needed 'before recapping Brock Street was found to be at the main intersection of Brock and Dundas Streets, just in front of the Bank of Commerce. Here it was necessary to excavate a large hole and repack it with stones and earth. Until the waterworks system was laid, this location is said to have been a well, strategically located for fire-fighting purposes. * ag MADE FIRE CALL Due to someone's over-enthusi- asm, the fire brigade was called out at 9:45 Saturday evening to a Perry Street address. A householder phoned police that his oil burner seemed to be getting out of control and asked for a fire extinguisher to be sent around -- just in case. In- stead of the extinguisher, he got three fire trucks, 20 men and half the populace. The fire was out when they arrived. * + 3 RESUME SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES The resumption of Sunday eve- ning services, suspended for the summer months in the United and Presbyterian Churches, on Sunday next, was announced at church ser- vices on Sunday.

Woman Leaps Naked From Blazing Room Port Arthur, Sept. 5--~(CP) -- An American woman plunged naked 75 feet to her death from a blazing hotel room here early Monday. The fire was confined to one top- floor rm of the five-storey Cana- dian National Railways Prince Ar- thur liotel. There were no other casualties. A ct stable found Mrs. Alice Bray, 87, of St. Paul, Minn., severely in- Jured on the ground almost directly under the window of the fire-gutted room. She died in hospital an hour later. An inquest will be held. MES EEL AN 'S Cobourg Meets Locals Here Tonight in Final Series Tied One Each By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Stokers and Cobourg Orphans battled to a ten inning draw here on Saturday night. The final score read five all. The same two teams will meet at the local park tonight at 5.30. This is a sudden death game as each team has one win each. Should the Stokers win tonight and we think they will, they will meet Parham here on Thursday night. The Cobourg team, which did e- enough crabbing during the game, were very lucky to come up with a tie in Saturday night's game, as they had to come from behind twice during the game. Samanski went the route for the Stokers and gave up ten hits and fanned 11. Ball started on the mound for the Orphans but was rushed to the showers in the 4th and Platt took over. The locals rapped the offer- ings of these two hurlers for nine safe hits; the hurlers got 10 locals via the strikeout routine. Law lead the locals at bat with a double and two singles while Ross was the only other repeat hitter getting two singles. Cooper with three for three and two walks had a perfect night, Ball had three for four for the visi- tors. The game Saturday evening had absolutely everything the ball fan could wish for--thrills, last minute surprises, arguments, and above all, good ball playing. Pitchers On Beam Neither team managed to do any damage in the first two innings as both pitchers were hurling fine ball. The Orphans, however, decided to open up in their half of the third and they collected three runs off four hits and and one error. The locals were not to be taken too lightly and they bounced right back with four runs in the first half of the fourth, to put them one up. This lead too was short-lived as the visitors who won the toss for home game 'came up with another run in the last half of the fourth to tie the score at four all. Got The Breaks This was all the scoring until the last half of the eighth, when the visitors got one run off two walks and no hits. They just got the breaks that very often spell de- feat. The Stokers came to bat in the first half of the ninth, and sensing defeat begin to bear down. A. Samanski went down second to first, J. Spencer walked, Law went down, pitcher to first and it look- ed as if the Stokers could hang up their cleats for this year, but they came through. E. Samanski, next batter up, walked, to put runners on first and second, Mayne, next GAME KEEPS SERIES TIED batter ups watched the first two go by and then rapped the next one out into centre field scoring Spencer and putting Samanski on third. Ross, next man up, fanned to end the rally. Cobourg made a desperate bid in the last half of then tenth to score as they got two hits in a row off Samanski after there were two out, but Samanski came through and got Bevans to fly out to Mayne in right field on a beautiful catch by Taffy. Turn Down Offer The Stokers will play the Orphans here tonight at 5:30; so plan to be on hand. These two teams were to have played here yesterday but the Cobourg team put up such a fuss about some of their players going to be away that the game had to be put off until tonight. An in- teresting point from the view of loyalty to the local fans has been shown by the Stokers in this series. By this we mean that the Stokers turned down an offer of all the gate receipts to play the game in Co- bourg. The gate receipts of a game down there would amount to about $500, less the fee for the umpires. This is several times greater than what they will make by playing the game here. So fans, when you go to the game tonight, keep this in mind that the Stokers are really interest- ed in letting the people of Whitby see as much ball as possible, and really give them your whole heart- ed support.

Farmer Wins With Get Of Single Cow Toronto, Sept. 5 (CP).--A Nan- ticoke, Ont. farmer proved con- clusively Monday that good breed- ing stock means victories in the show ring. H, M. Atkinson, who 17 years ago 'began building a herd of dual- purpose Shorthorns from a single registered cow, completed a clean sweep of major honors in the class during judging of beef cattle at the Canadian National Exhibition live- stock show. The get of Atkinson's prize cow Bonnie Nellie won both the grand champion bull and grand champion female ribbons for dual purpose Shorthorns together with four lesser championships. Mr. Atkinson said the founder of his herd still holds the Canadian lifetime milk production record of 126,212 pounds of milk and 5,212 pounds of butterfat. P. F. Law and R. W. Gardhouse, both of Weston, Ont., shared grand championship honors in the Short- horn class. Results included: Dual-purpose Shorthorns: Senior champion bull -- Cheap- side Inelo Sensation the Second; reserve -- Cedarhead Charm Lad entered by Miss M. H. King, Galt. HESSIAN FLY IN ONTARIO Infestations of Hessian fly run- ning as high- as 50 per cent have been reported in winter wheat in southwestern Ontario, according to a survey made by the Canada De- partment of Agriculture's Division of Entomology at Chatham, On- tario. It is thought that the earlier seeding of winter wheat and the practice of seeding clover with winter wheat as a nurse crop with the consequent carryover of the stubble, may be factors responsible for the sudden increase of the pest in this area.

Girls Start New Job Today With Insurance Firm A visitor in town over the week- end was Shirley Foster, who form- erly worked in Osborne's Insurance Office. After 11 weeks of training, today she, along with other girls, begins a new job in Toronto in the Canadian Head Office of the Pru- dential Insurance Company, Can- ada's largest. Today the company moves into its new quarters in the Bank of Nova Scotia building. And there is likely to be plenty of excitement around Bay . and King Streets when the 400 girls, who have been training all summer in Newark for the specific tasks they are to do, arrive to staff new offices in a new building with equipment and everything brand new, The young people arrived by spe- cial train from Newark Sunday, having sung themselves hoarse all the way over. Although the train was delayed some hours at the bor- der, relatives were on hand to meet practically all the girls, who were looking cheerful and radiant, hav- ing taken advantage of their sum- mer in Newark to catch on Ameri- can fashions. About 350 of these are Canadians who went to Newark 11 weeks ago to train on the home field for the specific jobs they are to do in Can- ada. Most of them are just out of high school, but some have higher education or business experience, 'fitting them for more advanced work.

When the Whitby High School opened its doors this morning for the new school term it marked the 105th year of that institution. According to a book, "The Life and Times. of Joseph Gould," ex- member of the Canadian Parlia- ment, published in 1887 by W. H. Higgins, former local publisher, it was founded in 1846 with Mr. James Hodgson, former inspector of public schools for South York, as the the school read: "The Whitby High School (now the Collegiate Insti- tute) has a standing of over 40 years, and was long known as the Senior County Grammar School. It was founded in 1846 by the liberality and public spirit of Peter Perry, Samuel Cochrane (the veteran of 1812) and Ezra Annes, to whom the County of Ontario, and the Town of Whitby in particular, must ever owe the deepest gratitude. The old school was built two storeys high, only one flate of which, however, was occupied or even finished, but the rapid success of the school soon laid under requisition both flats and for some years the new improvement sufficed. But in 1872 the pressure for more accommoda- tion became so great that the Board Whitby High School Opened Today, Had Its Inception in 1876 of Trustees determined to erect a structure commensurate with the prospects of the school and adapted to the modern ideas of education. The present building and commo- dious structure was erected in 1873 and now stands amongst the most elegant and commodious schoel- houses in the province." Many changes have been made since 1873. About 1925 another addi- tion was made to the school pro- viding a much-needed gymnasium, assembly hall and more classrooms. There was for ten years an agita- tion to erect a new school altogether on a more commodious site, but it was never acted upon. : The school, when it opened this morning, had a new principal, Donald Tutt, who - succeeds Mr. R. R. Heard, who went to Weston. There are seven male and six female teachers, the latter includ- ing Miss Janet Spratt, recently appointed as part-time teacher of music. Many improvements were made to the building during the summer months, as outlined in The Times- Gazette a few weeks ago, and today the school is well staffed and mod- ernly equipped for a good educa=~ tional job. Non-Confident Move 0f C.C.F. Defeated Ottawa, Sept. 5 (CP) -- A CCF. motion of non-confidence in the Government was defeated 93 to 18 in the Commons Saturday shortly after an independent member had expressed the first opposition to the dispatch of a special Canadian force to Korea. The C.C.F. motion, moved during continued debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, calle for a vote of non- confidence in the Government be- cause it had "failed to provide ade- quately for the defence of Canada" and had "failed" to deal with the higta cost of living. It urged reim- position of price controls and a revival of subsidies on essential pro- ducts, The motion also criticized the Government for not including in its plans substantial economic aid for underdeveloped countries of the world. The C.C.F. and Social Credit Par- ties voted for the motion, while the Liberals and Progressive Conserva- tives voted against it.
