Ebbs imposed anominal fine of $5 and costs or § days in jail on each of two Toronto men who appeared before him to- diy charged with peddling soap from door to door without having a' pedler's license. He also warned them that they must procure a license for such peddling even if such takes the form of advertising campaign. "The two men, Edward Ernest Du- fresne, and Thomas E. Oliver, not guilty to the charge. ey contended that they were thin the meaning of the Muniei- pal Act which allows peddling Without a license when it is done in the interests of local merchants.

CTX A ie ie 26 Oshawa Bell Workers Twenty-six Oshawa telephone workers were among nearly 950 Bell Telephone drivers to receive safe driving awards for 1950 from the Ontario Safety League. The awards consist of buttons inscrib- ed with the number of years of safe driving and certificates. H. A. Myers won an award for 16 years behind the wheel without an accident, R. MacInally for nine years, and D. W. McIntosh for eight. Six-year buttons went to two Bell men, five-year to three, four- year awards to two, three-year to five, two-year credits to six, and five others gained one-year awards. Of the grand total of some 950 awards, six were for 18 consecu- tive years' driving of a Bell motor vehicle without an accident of any kind, and one for 17 years. Pat Patrol (Continued on Page 2) ing to the roadside to hail return- ing United Nations troops. One soldier marching alongside commented: "This is' a better way of going to war." He did not know that the commander had assigned his platoon the longest march up the highest mountain--2,00¢ feet-- before occupying the day's position, Many young soldiers in the pla- fon had their first sight of enemy dead as they made their way to the foot of the mountain. They pas- sed 35 Chinese felled along the roadside, apparently by an air strike. In weather the hottest it has been for days, it was a long climb for troops who had been operating at lower altitudes for the last fortnight. They were barely at the top when another platoon, below and to the west, reported hearing Chinese com- mands over its walkie-tlkie. Indeed, it was only minutes later that another patrol operating to the west struck the enemy and a brisk fight developed. It was all-around relief when the commander agreed to a suggestion that the platoon take a short cut down the mountain to meet the transport on the road and be carried back to the tank harbor. Again astride the gun of a tank, whose even speed and beautiful suspension rode the bumps "like a limousine," as one man observed, it was like a train ride home to re- . the nearby river, Gets 3 Months (Continued from Page 1) at the same time as sittings of the Ontario legislature crime committee in Toronto, Mr. Hazell criticized the commit- tee for permitting Inspector William Tomlinson, head of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police anti-gambling squad, to testify at the Toronto probe, since he was one of the chief crown wit- nesses in the Hamilton gambling case. Magistrate Hopkins replied that he had carefully refrained from listening to, or reading about, the committee's proceedings. In handing down his decision, he said Sporting News "was out- fitted and equipped fo assist in betting on racing in the United States and other places outside Canada." "It had telegraph service and a telegraph operator, Taylor, for as- sembling of information published in the scratch sheet." Telephone calls to the paper, which numbered in the thousands each week, were not for amusement , Magistrate Hopkins said, but for illegal betting. He recalled that there were 1,099 calls in one day. "People would find the scratch sheet useful in placing bets and it would be useful to bookies, 100," he said. . OK Plans (Continued on Page 2) tion.

She attended all the sessions covering a full week, and Mr. Holland, business administrator, attended some of the sessions. A group of 100 took part in the which proved in- spiring and informative. The superintendent recommended that early consideration be given to the enlargement of the special diet area, the need for which she said is most urgent. The matter was re- ferred to the House Committee. Graduation June 12 Miss Bourne mentioned the ar- rangements for the graduation which will be held on Tuesday, June 12, when 23 nurses will be graduat- ed. The guest speaker will be Dr. G. E.

MAKE ADDITIONS A number of additions have been 'made to the litter receptacles which have been placed at convenient points around the city and particu- larly in the business district. The Board of Works began putting out these green-painted square metal containers about a year ago and there now are six in use. FOUND OLD COIN While digging in a flower bed in her garden, Mrs. Tom Gurney, of the Town Line Grocery, Whitby, turned up an old coin which looked as if it had been there for a long time. On examination it was found to be a George III penny, dated 1806. How it came to be embedded in this Whitby garden is something of a mystery. CHARGE AUTO THEFT Two Toronto men, one of them James Johnston, 80 Munro Street, Toronto, and the other a Toron- to man but a juvenile, were ap- prehended here and returned to Toronto where they will face a charge of automobile theft. The two men ditched the car just north of the House That Jack Built on No. 2 Highway. They were picked up by Inspector W. Dawn and Sergeant - of - Detectives Herbert Flintoff. REMANDED ONE WEEK Thomas Ridgway, age 70, appear- ed in police court this morning <harged with vagrancy, He was re- manded one week to give court of- ficials an opportunity to find out if there was some person who would undertake to look after him or something which could be done. Chief Owen D. Friend stated that the old man had been sleeping in the cells for the last few nights. He claimed to be on a pension from the D.V.A. but the Chief has been Probe U.N. Lines (Continued from Page 1) probably in the best positions they have manned yet. He said theyire confident and in good spirits. , AP Correspondent John Ran- dolph reported that while allied of- ficers differed on just when the Reds will strike, they agreed: "The Chinese are loaded and cocked and can explode southward any time they want." Probing forces hit Wednesday morning on the central and East- ern fronts. Chinese drove U.N. troops from their positions east of Chunchon on the central front. Then allied ar- tillery stopped them, Korean Reds hit southwest of Inje, after reoccupying the high- way town on the eastern front, Skirmishing stepped up on the western front, too, with several sharp clashes about 17 miles north of Seoul. The Reds turned anti- tank guns on one armored Ameri- can reconnaissance patrol. "It looks as if they are just about ready and will be on their way down to us pretty soon," one offi» cer said. Randolph reported all signs seeemed to point to the final moves before a typical Chinese offensive. Fighting early Wednesday was heavier' than the customary patrol actions, but none of it reached bat- tle size. Bugle-blowing, whistle-tooting Chinese struck at 1:30 a.m, east of Chunchon. U.N. troops withdrew under the grenade-throwing attack supported by automatic-rifle fire. After the U.N. withdrawal, big American guns! opened up, inflict- ing heavy casualties on the Reds. The Reds penetrated Chunchon, 45 miles northeast of Seoul, but were driven out. Communists also used artillery heavily in the eastern sector, sup- porting an unsuccessful attack east of Inje. Heavy use of artillery is customary before a Communist of- fensives. Randolph reported both allied of- ficers and recently-captured Reds disagreeing as to when the big assault would come. Guesses ranged from between now and Monday tq early June, Monday night will bring a full moon, favorite time for Chinese of- fensive.s. Randolph said indications were that the Reds would strike all along the 100-mile front with their heav- iest blow down central Korea's Pukhan River valley through Chunchon, 'Most of the 390,000 Communist striking force is arrayed in depth north of this area.

Argument At "Peace Conference" - Thousands of sadhus (holy men) fro . m all corners of the globe recently convened in vehi, India, ¢ r a spiritual parliament to pray for peace in the world. The gathering which 1-sied for one week was the first of its kind in India. Even among the holy men, it seems, there is disagreement on the meaning of peace aid the methods for -ttaining it.

Youths Tell | Busiriess And Markets Court They Bought Beer Bernard Higgins, 151! Wilson | | ial Road South, appeared in police | court this morning charged with having liquor obtained illegally and | selling liquor. He pleaded not | guilty to both charges. Only two | witnesses for the prosecution - were heard before the court adjourned for the noon recess. A. W. 8. Greer, K.C.. appeared as counsel for the accused. Two Bowmanville "youths, Ray- mond Bickle, age 15, and Richard McMahon, age 19, told the court that they had purchased 12 pints of beer at the house of the accused on April 8. The beer was divided between them and two other boys who accompanied them to the house. They stated that they had paid $3.50 for the beer. The cost had been shared by three of the youths. Bickle, who was driving the car, did not have to share in the cost. The 'boys drank two pints of beer each in the car a short distance from the home of Higgins. They took another pint of beer apiece with them when they went to the Avalon dance pavilion. Bickle was arrested there by Oshawa police. He later took the police to the house where he had 'bought the beer and identified Hig- gins as the man who had sold him the beer. Yanks Charged With Atrocities London, May 16 (AP)--Moscow Radio today quoted a visiting North Korean delegation as saying Amer- ican troops have been committing "unprecedented atrocities" in Korea. The propaganda broadcast said the Koreans told a Moscow press conference that thousands of their countrymen are being shot to cover American "failures of the fronts." "They caught Yan U. Sam, secre- tary of the primary organization of the party of labor, skinned him valive, chopped off his legs and forced his wife to eat his flesh," the broadcast said.

People beaned by balls hit from inside the park, the Lords ruled cannot collect for their injuries. "The existence of some risk," said the Lords, "is an ordinary incident of life." Bessie Stone, aged 56, sued the Cheetham Cricket Club of Man- chester after she was hit on the | head by a ball slammed for six--a cricket homer. The decision affects nearly 15,000 cricket clubs throughout the coun- try.
