CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Damages of $10,517 Assessed for Injury To Oshawa Woman Total damages of $10,517.48 were assessed yesterday. in 'High Court in Whitby by Mr. Justice J. L. Wilson in favor: of ho Miss Esme Williams, 22; 76 Colborne Street, Oshawa, w. received serious injuries when struck by a car while she 'walked along William Street in Oshawa at nine o'clock on May 23, 1950. Defendants Greta Logeman, 65. Albert Street, and Charles Terry, 373 Simcoe Street North, did not contest : ion. A. W. S. Greer, K.C., appeared for the plaintiff : nd io Hilton, K.C., of the Department of Highways. The 'award is tomposed of $3,017.49 special damages which in- | ines, "eldes items such as a hospital bill of $890 and doctor's ac- eount of $375, and general damages fixed at $7,500. { "ger injuries involved the most 'serious i of the pelvis I 'Bmve ever seen and still the patient "survived," said Dr. William H. Stan- "by. "Had ib not been for her good "general health and co-operative at- titude, she might not have surviv- ad the first two weeks following the wecident." As a result of the accident Miss Williams was confined in hospital until August 23, 1950. Then fol- *Jowed a long convalescence at home and on May 7, she was able to re- turn to her employment at Alger Press, but is able to work only half 'a day at present. Miss Williams still walks with a cane and with I difficulty, but there is reason to + 'believe her condition may continue *to improve, Dr. Stanley said. But ber injuries are, in part, of a per- manent. nature. Pirst witness called by Mr. Greer, was Anthony J. Tonelli, comptrol- ~ ler of Alger Press, who testified that "Miss Williams, their employee, had lost $1,530 in pay during her ill- "mess. Then Miss Willams gave ~'ewidence, followed by Dr. Stanley, "who stressed the difficulties in giv- "ing adequate treatment to injuries "ss complicated as Miss Williams re- "ceived.

The Council has laid the pool would entail considerable The Swimming Pool Project With the swimming pool in Kinsmen Park approaching completion, a citizens' committee has asked the Town Council to take it over as a civic preject. The committee is of the opinion that by so doing the town can obtain a substantial grant from the provineial government which would go a long way towards completing it and getting it into oper- request over for further con- sideration, no doubt with the idea that the completion of the annual expense, plus responsi- bility, even if a maximum provincial grant was obtained, As matters now stand there is invested in the pool the sum of $6,200 in eash, and it is estimated that it will take amother five thousand to complete it. The committee which 'is now negotiating with the Council reckons that counting the cash, free labor and other donations, the pool as it stands today represents an investment of at least $14,000, an amount which, it is said, would be considered by the gov- ernment in determining the amount of the grant. It is figur- ed that if this was done a grant of $4,000 could be obtained, which is the amount required for the filtration equipment. The committee at the present time, has $1,000 cash on hand. Inasmuch as the pool was started long before the steel restrictions eame into effect, it is anticipated that for such a worthy community project no difficulty would be ex- perienced in getting the necessary steel. The committee figures that if this grant was obtained, and the pool completed and operated on a commercial basis as is done in many other places, little or no cost would have to be shouldered by the town. Nominal fee charged, it is figured, would pay for maintenance and upkeep. The committiee which has borne the burden and heat of the day in connection with the construction and all that it entails, including the collection of money, volunteer labor, and many other items, could, if it became absolutely neces- sary, get the momey to complete the pool and later operate it, but it would be a heavy and very responsible task. The committee, however, cannot collect a provincial grant. At present prices one committee member reckons that the pool as it now stands could not be constructed for less than $25,000. This is a lot of money. If the Council) can see its way clear to take over the pool and operate itjas a civic project, it would seem to be the happy solution of the problem. The pool would be a great civic asset and orie that would be used by many of our citizens. I is somlething every municipality should have. The Kinsmen Club gtenerously donated the land and has stood behind the project, last year donating $2,000. Other or- ganizations like the Rotary Club have also contributed, to say nothing of many private donations. The project should be completed and set. in operation if at all possible this sum- As the result of @ meeting between the citizens' comit- tee and a Council committee this week, some definite decision may be forthcoming mext Monday night.

Bryan Gibson Awarded IODE Special Prize For ouistanding proficiency in Social Btudies, Bryan Gibson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Gib- son, 602 Dundas Street West, last night received an IODE prize. Bryan is a grade seven pupil in Hillcrest Public School. Making the presentation at a function in the Town Hall last night, Mrs. Walter Porter said that the Viscount Greenwood Chapter of Whitby is particu- larly gratified at the interest boys and girls are taking in studies about their own counrty, Principal Earl Fairman an- nounced the award and also lauded Bryan's scholarship in this regard. Bryan is also a carrier for The Times-Gazette. Community Chest Elects New Officers William J. Davidson was re- elected president of the Whithy Community Chest for 1951-1952 at an' organization meeting held in the president's office. The choice of Mr, Davidson was unanimous and was in recognition of the very fine work he did last year. Vice-president is Mayor J. W. Elliott; secretary, R. D. Howe with Mrs. Frank Wells as assistant sec- retary, and treasurer, A. B. Macfie. Charles King will be director of publicity, and the question of a campaign manager has been left in abeyance, The deadline for receiving appli- cations from organizations who wish to participate in the campaign was set at July 31. The date of the cam- paign and the amount of the objective will be announced later.' It is almost certain, as the result of some keen discussion, that the length of the campaign will be shortened. As a matter of fact, a one-day blitz may be considered. In other years it has spread over sev- eral weeks, and towards the end the objective has not been achieved, such as was the case last year, There were eight participating organizations last year, including the Victorian Order of Nurses, Viscount Greenwood Chapter IODE, the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, the Salvation Army, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the Canadian Legion and the Whitby Recreation Associ- ation. Rent $30 a Year For Good House At Port --In 1851 Rents have gone up slightly in the past century, it would seem from a perusual of the following advertise ment which appeared in the Whit- by "Chronicle" just 100 years ago this month. It reads: "A good opportunity is now offered to any person who has a little spare cash, and wishes to make an investment in what is more valuable than cash itself, viz: two valuable and improved build ing lots at Port Whitby, being com- posed of the corner building Lot No, 9, in Block 3, adjoining Bate's Bak- ery, containing half an acre, having a good barn thereon, an excellent well; also a good assortment of grafted fruit trees. A good board fence encloses this lot. Also Build- ing Lot No. 11, on Bond Street con- taining nearly half an acre, having a good frame house thereon, which rents for $30 a year. This lot forms one of the most beautiful building Fine Program Given By Hillcrest School "When I came to the first one of these music demonstrations three years ago I thought I'd be bored to death, but they always turn out to be entirely interesting," cora- mented one parent last night at- tending the Hillcrest Public School Musjc Demonstration held in the Town Hall, And it was interesting, As Mrs, Vernon Rowe put the pupils through their musical paces, it was amply apparent that her music course fully develops this aspect of learning and is given in a manner entirely acceptable to the pupils themselves. Every student at Hill- crest participated. Four rousing choruses by the senior pupils began the program. In these, part singing was well done. Further on in the program, by way of contrast, unaccompanied singing by some of the grades showed that they had no need to depend upon Mrs. Rowe's piano to produce good music. Square dances, drills, skits and a short humorous play, provided variety to the program. Those who took indivivdual parts included: G. Platt, a reading; Judy Pamene teer and Norma Childs, conductors of rhythm bands; Lynda Lee, James McKay and Margie Shier, conduc tors of flute selections. The cone cluding skit was authored by Tommy Jermyn and Ron MacCarl while Philip Heard, Bryan Gibson, Keith Sharman, Gordon Platt, Bob Smith and Bill Beer donned black face to do the "end-men" act. Teachers of the school, Mrs. Akey, Miss Puckrin, Mrs. Frost, Mr. Carson and Mr. Fairman assiste ed with the program. Agreement on Sub-division No Nearer After Meeting Acceding to a request of the Whitby Town Planing Board, the special committee on Sub-Bivision of the Ontario County Council met with it in Whitby on Tuesday eve- ning. The county is anxious to obtain approval] for its 62-lot plan for a housing sub-division north of Hillerest School and this matter had been referred by Whitby Town Council to the Planning Board. Out- come of the meeting was not clear. In some respects, the issue appeared to have been complicated during the course of the meeting. On the part of the county, Chair- man Harry Phoenix stated that his committee was entirely willing to co-operate on details of the plan, if revision is necessary, if the local pBoard will make a decision. No decision was forthcoming. For more than two hours, mem- bers of the Board wrestled with the Jig-saw puzzle of sub-division plan- ning without reaching any accord. One member of the Board, Architect George Tonks, was preoccupied with the question of a street design to foster child safety, a plan in which no child will have to cross any main traffic arteries on his way to school. Other members of the Board dis- liked the dead-end streets involved in this feature of contemporary planning and preferred the custom- ary "grid-iron" pattern of street planning which, while less beautiful, simplifies the problems of building streets. Chairman Robert Langford began the meeting by stating that there were two factors involved in the current discussion. One, the prospect that a housing sub-division north of Hillcrest School will necessitate an enlargement to that school and the utilization of four acres of land to be added te the school property, and (2) which main street, Walnut or Maple, should be put through to the west. During the meeting, no mention was made of the largest point of difference affecting this area, name- ly, the disagreement between the Public School Board and the County, on the price to be paid for fou acres for school site. The county is asking $4,000 while the Board feels it should be able to obtain the land for one-half this price, In a pre- vious statement, the PI Board indicated that it would not approve the plan for the ho sub-division until this matter of purchase price was resolved. Bank Is Plaintiff In Loan Action A High Court civil action involve ing two Reach Township farmers is being heard this week in Petere borough before Mr. Justice R. L Ferguson.
