SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1951. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ™__ - ------. PAGEFIVE | WHITBY NEWS Editorial Comment Police Administration In towns the size of Whitby it has been found that the administration of police affairs is much better in the hands of a Police Commission, which as a rule is made up of the county judge, the police magistrate and the mayor, appoint- ed by the Attorney General after the setting up of a com- mission has been approved by his department. Recent events in connection with police affairs which have caused the Council no end of trouble and concern, and the Council, is it believed, satisfied that police administra- tion would be much better in the hands of a Commission, will make the application to the Attorney General for the creation of such a body. With the mayor a Commission member, the town Council would still have representation. In recent years towns like Picton, Trenton and others that could be mentioned, have turned to commission ad- ministration of police affairs and have found it much more satisfactory from the standpoint of the town and the mem- bers of the police force. We are not suggesting that the Council is not capable of police administration but we do think that with so many other matters demanding their attention a govérnment of the police department by a Commission would not only make for more efficiency and better discipline, and further, the civic fathers would no longer be put on the spot, as it were, when situations which have held the spotlight here and elsewhere for some time arise. We have advocated before a police commission, because we feel that it would serve the town's best interests with a police force the size Whitby now has. The Council is taking a wise step in asking that such a body be created. Bridge Post-Mortem The final session of the Duplicate Bridge Club was held last Tuesday with over 50 players present, in- cluding a number of guests from Oshawa. The hands were excep- tionally interesting and included a number of slams, In honor of the special occasion prizes were drawn for and went to Mrs, MacLeod and Miss Lawler. After refreshments had been served a presentation was made to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wells and Miss Lawlor in recognition of their efforts on behalf of the Club. There will be another game next Tuesday sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary of the Tennis Club and it is hoped that as many as pos- sible will turn out to support this organization. The high scores were as follows: North and South, Mrs, Siiner and Mrs. Clark, 174; Mrs. T. King and Mrs. Freeman, 152%; Mr, and Mrs, Eric Henry, 142; Mrs. Frost and Mrs, Thomson, 141; Mrs. Chant and Mrs. Daniel, 137%; Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. MacLeod, 127%. East and West: Mr. G. Adams and Mr. A. Vallaincourt, 171; Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Hobbs, 162; Mr. and Mrs. J. King, 147; Mrs. Spratt and Miss Lawlor, 135; Mr. and Mrs. D. Mittman, 132%; Mrs. Sandenor and Mrs. Canning, 129. VALUABLE CROP The first apple trees in Nova Sco- tia's Annapolis Valley were planted in 1633 by the Acadian settlers of the fertile region. Chamber to Probe Hydro Rates To Summer Cottages The Trenton Chamber of Com- merce was host to delegates from 23 chambers of commerce from throughout central Ontario on Wednesday. President R. G. Lang- ford, Whitby, and others from Whitby attenaea the afternoon ses- sion was held at the Trenton Coun- try Club. The registration of dele- gates was conducted Ezra Smith, manager of the Trenton chamber. The delegates were welcomed to Trenton by T. L. McNeil, president of the Trenton Chamber of Com- merce. Chairman of the afternoon session was Jack Haig of Belleville, Several subjects of interest to the chamber of commerce movement were discussed. Leading in the dis- cussion were L. A. Buckley, secre- tary for the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, James Fraser, secre- tary-manager of the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, Freeman Burrows, secretary-manager of the Belleville Chamber of Commerce, Harry Callan of the department of planning and development for On- tario, R. B. Potts, representing the C.P.R., Walter Muir, representing the CNR, C. D, Crowe of the de- partment of publicity for Ontario and George Milligan representing the Ontario Federation of Agricul ture. One of the subjects under dis- cussion was the hydro rates which are being charged to summer cot- tage owners. It was revealed that some cottage owners are install- ing their own generators to escape the high rates. J. Mackel, president of the Quinte Isles Tourist Associa- tion of Picton, said that cottage owners were being charged for 12 months of the year when their cot- tages were in use only four months, He stated that tourist camp op- erators were complaining because they were being charged for their hydro in May at a time when the tourist camp income was at a very low point, eo Readers Views AUTO LOAN EXPLAINED Editor, Times-Gazette, Whitby, Ontario. Dear Sir: I have read with con- siderable amusement that point of the police enquiry where I loaned an auto t60 Chief Love for use dur- ing his holidays last year. I would like to state for the in- formation of anyone interested that the auto in question is my exclusive property and, therefore, I don't deem it necessary to ask permission of anyone to loan it to Chief Love or anyone else. I am and always have been sub- ject to the by-laws of the Town of Whitby and when I'm caught vio- lating any I expect and have been prosecuted as the records will show. Legion Bugle Band To Parade Twice This Week Two important playing engage- ments are pending for the Cana- dian Legion Bugle Band within the next few days. This smart aggre- gation directed by Jim Wilde has been practising regularly lately and is in excellent shape. Players are requested to meet at the Legion Hall on Sunday even- ing at 6:15, at which time they will form up to lead the I.O.O.F. in its annual church parade. On May 24, the Bugle Band will assemble at 2 p.m. at the Kinsmen Park to take part in the Baseball Club's parade to the ball park, Pickering W.I. Arranging Floral Exhibition Mii ig ments for an Exhibition of Floral Arrangements to be held in the United Church, Pickering, on June' 5, at 8:00 pm. when Mrs. M. C. Hooper, well-known Botanist and Horticulturist, will be their spea- ker. Mrs. Hooper is a member of the Toronto Guild and North York Horticultural Societies and is a well-known judge at flower shows throughout Canada and the United States. Anyone who saw Shadow Boxes at the Flower Show at the Royal Winter Fair, will have seen some of the work done by Mrs, Hooper. Tickets can be had from any W.I. member, Those attending will have a chance at winning some of the lovely bouquets. Things must be getting into the same category as Soviet Russia if I have to get permission from the state or its representatives to do what I consider a charitable act such as lending a man an auto so that he can join his wife and fam- ily on vacation. His station in life does not enter into consideration at all and Chief Love was on holidays and not on duty at the time. I think what is wrong with the world today is that there is not en- ough charity exercised. A little more give and take would make the world (Whitby) a better place to live in, Yours truly, DON BRYANT. WAR ON BEETLES Capetown -- (CP)--Cape Prov- ince entomologists are fighting a new war. Thousands of homes are infested with Italian, wood-eating beetles and it is estimated that al- ready the invasion has cost £300,- 000 ($900,000). Don't let the scientific names used by highbrow ornithologists dis- courage you. There's a touch of romance and poetry in some offi- cial labels for our Canadian birds when you ponder them. Take the nighthawk, for instance, whse "peent" call is familiar on spring and summer evenings. He has been tagged Chordeiles minor, which freely translated, means "little harp of evening." This be- couse the "peent" call suggested all the strings of a harp sounded in one sweep of a finger--or the beak of a bird. Evening grosbeaks, the birds with striking plumage of gold, jet from northland forests, often in and white who are spring visitors great flocks, have the scientific label, Hesperiphona verspertina. When, more than a century ago they appeared in Eastern Canada from north and west, a man of science remembered his mythology and gave them the name which tells of those legendary "daughters of the night" who dwelt at the western rim of the world and but rarely visited the haunts of men. And the shy Whip-Poor-Will -- that's exactly what he says--in a call mournful yet melodious, has been burdened with the tag, An- trostomus vociferus, meaning "strong-voiced cave-mouth." The bird's call seems loud and clear because it is usually heard in the stillness of the evening. Big, the mouth certainly is, but hardly cavernous, Besides, the Whip- Poor-Will needs a large mouth to accommodate large meals. There is no more efficient animated in- sect trap than poor Will, a true friend of farmer and fruit-grower. St. Lawrence Gannets Bonaventure Island, Anticosti Island, and several islets off the coast of Newfoundland, thanks to Canadian conservation measures, have become the sanctuary and stronghold of that snow-white sea- bird, the gannet. On shelves and ledges of these islands and bird rocks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence the gannets nest and breed and the granite heights there in spring and early summer look as if they were covered with feathery snow. True birds of the ocean they dive from great heights, at times, for their finny prey. Even their nests are made of sea- weed. nak Skin Trimmi When wandering in Canadian woods in summer from Southern Manitoba to the Maritimes, the crested flycatcher, easily identified by its aerial insect catching and its brief but jaunty crest, is worth looking for. This olive and brown bird, its Highbrow Bird Names Have Touch of Poetry call a loud "whee-ee-eep," has a singular habit which has long in- trigued ornithologists. Rarely is this flycatcher's nest found without the adornment of a cast snake skin. It is thought to be placed there to warn off predators, not by the sight of the skin, but because the snake odor is said to cling to the skin and radiates warning! New Parishes (Continued from Page 1) awa. That portion of the city has been built up to a very large ex- tent in the past few years and now extends so far to the east that it has become an actual hardship for many Catholics there to . attend either St. Gregory's Church or Parish on Simcoe Street North of Holy Cross on the southern sec- tion of the same street. A name has not yet been chosen for the new parish but it will 'not be St. George's as announced by a Toronto paper earlier this week. Cardinal J. C. McGuigan, in mak- ing the announcement of a new parish in Oshawa earlier this week tentatively named it St. George's. However, when inform- ed that there were two other churches in the city of the same name, he immediately stated that another name would be chosen. New pastor will be Father Frank Mahoney, presently assistant at Mount Dennis Parish and Chaplain at Western Sanitorium. Father Mahoney will accept the charge of the new parish on September 1. When and how a church will be erected on the new property will be largely up to the new pastor. When he arrives here Father Mahoney will begin the task of or- ganizing the parish, the boundaries of which will be announced later from the Cardinal's office in To- ronto. . Eastern boundary of the parish will undoubtedly be the Oshawa- STROWGER'S FURNITURE CO. LTD. Authorized Dealers for Canadian General Electric Appliances 123 BROCK ST. N.

Stanley Woodward, United States ambassador to Canada, said Fri- day night he is hopeful of a start on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Mr. Woodward said the joint Canada-U.S, project--endorsed by Canada but bogged down in the U.S. legislative machinery for 10 years -- has been given a high priority by President Truman in his legislative program. In an address prepared for de- livery the ambassador said he is certain the navigation-power scheme will get a proper hearing before U.S. Senate and House of Representatives Committees. The project now is being con- sidered by the House Public Works Committee--which is to vis- it the area of the proposed develop- ment in June--and is to be studied later by the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee. Darlington boundary line. East of that is the Diocese of Peterborough. The King Street East property comprises between three and four acres and was formerly owned by the Moffatt family. The building presently on the property will con- tain the new rectory and parish offices and elsewhere on the land a church will be built. It was not known at the present time whether a school would be included among the on the land although it is likely that one will be needed in that part of the city in the near future. Worthing, Sussex, England--y{CP) ~--Radlo listeners here to a program from the Festival of Britain heard the announcer say "Piccadilly is a wonderful sight with all the lights blazing." At that moment the lights here went out owing to a powerful failure. Arrest Seventh Suspect Toronto Bape Case Toronto, May 19--(CP)--A seve enth suspect was arrested late Frie day in connection with an attack on a 16-year-old salesgirl Tuesday night in west-end Willowdale Park. Robert Blair, 21, was charged with rape as detectives pressed a search for several youths still sought in the case. Five others, eged from, 14 to 16, are held without bail on a charge of rape. Another, aged 16, has been charged as a material witness and released on bail, The pretty blonde girl said she was stripped and raped by 11 youths while her 12-year-old sister was kept from making any outcry. \ CHILLY WEATHER West Hartlepool, Durham, Enge land --(CP)-- Boxer Charles Bo- hot, flyweight champion of North Africa, found the weather here "a bit cold".
