CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 will Ask Municipal Board's Opinion On 'Hot' Local Issue The problem which neither Whitby Public Utility Commission ' nor Town Council can solve -- how to straighten out the famed PUC By-law No. 66, in which part of the funds ear-marked for one pur- pose were spent for another -- will be thrown in the lap of the On- tario Municipal Board with a re- quest for its recommendations. The hottest local political issue in years approached the boiling point again 'Inst night as the PUC met, at the request of Commissioner Robert Langford, with council. But only. three members of council were. present, two of whom came in late. \ Under by-law 66, framed in 1948, $35,000 was raised by debenture for the purpose of installing a new water intake system and for mak- ing a water extension to the Dun- Rubber Company plant which, a proposed to build in 1948. The latter project has not yet been required and has' not been done. Some $4,000 worth of intake pipe 'was purchased. This pipe is piled at the lakefront. However, the commissions of 1948 and 1949, allowed, improperly, some of the debenture money for the intake to be spent fof other waterworks ex- tensions which were authorized by council. This expenditure, along with the fact that other costs specified in the same by-law for other projects proved to entail greater expenditures than antici- pated, resulted in a shortage of funds. Not misappropriation, but shortage. Now $12,200 remains in the bank to carry out work which may cost a great deal more. ADMIT MISTAKE MADE - Both PUC apd council admit that 8 mistake was made. Last night, Reeve Durican McIntyre complain- ed that Commissioner Langford was merely "threshing old straw" snd that when the time comes to instal the intake, there will be no difficulty in obtaining 'approval of the Municipal Board for further expenditure. However, Mr. Lang- ford reed violently on two points. One was that the time. for installatfon of the intake is now. The "other, that he as a Commis- sioner, has a moral obligation to "get a clear sheet" on the matter. Studying a comprehensive report on the by-law, there were two opinions as to the amount of the present shortage, Mr. Langford contended it is $19,000 while figures L] Whitby Day By Day Accounts of social events, any news items of local interest amd names of visitors are appreciated.

Finally, a motion was put by Mayor Elliott that the chairman, secretary, superintendent and auditor of the commission obtain an appointment with the Munici- pal Board to present reports on the by-law to them and attempt to ob- tain a recommendation as to the disposition of the matter. DOUBTS BOARD INTEREST Reeve McIntyre argued that the Board would not be interested in making such recommendations when no application for deben- tures is before them. Mr. Langford made an amendment that Super- intendent H. L. Pringle be left off the delegation, but he recejxed no seconder. Mr. Langford also op- posed the Mayor's motion to pre- sent the whole question to the Municipal Board. The commission has known that previous councillors wanted to have the old intake system, (30 years old) replaced as soon as possible but those present at the meeting with the commission last night, did not indicate any haste in the matter. Mr. Langford said he is concerned that the people of this municipality are paying principal and interest on borrowings of $31,000 for which, so far, he contended, they have received no value. "I am not offering any solution to this problem," said Mr. Lang- ford. "But if this is not soon pre- sented to the Municipal Board, I will personally go to see the minis- ter." "You have a right to present it to anyone you wish," .said Chair- man John Strathy, "but don't throw that out as a threat to this Commission." Mr. Langford quoted from a re- port by Gore and Storie, consulting engineers, to show that it is im- portant that the intake system be installed betauise present use of water is dangerously near capacity. Should the lake level become low, the situation might be critical. The chairman summed up the problem of the meeting. "It's how are we to get the $19,000 or the $10,000 whichever it is that we are short?" . Even if the money is not used for the purpose intended, it is felt by some, that the fund should be replenished or built up and then returned. Opinions varied on how long it would take to accumulate such a surplus out of revenue. Some say 10 yearz -- some say never.

For them, it will be a fine seven-week summer holiday com- bined with a very useful courses in military affairs, much of which will also stand them in good stead later in civilian life. IPPERWASH ARMY CADET CAMP, June 28--This sprawling :military base, deserted 10 months of the year, sprang into lusty life today with the arrival of more than 1,000 army cadets from South- ern Ontario. And another 650 will roll in from Eastern Ontario points tomorrow. Lugging their kit bags, cameras and fishing rods they tumbled from convoys of army trucks and buses onto the big parade square, Rapid- ly they were issued summer clothing, given a medical exam- ination and detailed to barracks. EXPLORE 'HOME TOWN' Then the silent buildings echoed to their youthful voices as they ex- plored their 'home towns" for the next seven weeks. Army planners had expected be- twen 1300 anda 1500 cadets. But today they kept arriving in un- expected numbers and when final count 'is made tomorrow night it is likely the base's population will be swollen to almost 1,700 cadets.

All cadets will stay for seven weeks, a different program from the rotating two weeks' camp held previously, They will learn all the basic ideas of soldiering and will specialize in trades training as vehicle mechanics or wireless com- munication operators. COURSE FOR LEADERS In addition 600 chosen cadets will take a leaders' course to prepare them for non-commissioned or commissioned ranks in their corps. Underlying all the fun, com- radeship. and knowledge - which these cadets will find at Ipperwash is the more serious aspect which most of the officers feel. These boys are being taught how to fight so that if Canada needs them they will be better equipped to do their share in keeping the country free. However, this thought certainly did not enter the minds of the boys as they romped around the Toronto Man Wins Kin Auto At Whitby A Toronto man, Claude R. Henderson, 612 Church Street, was the wi of the aut bile given away at the Whitby Kinsman Carnival last night.

UNDERWOOD, Chairman, Whitby Public School Pupils Pass Entrance Stokers Win 7-4 Over Brougham By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Stokers racked up an- other win last night over the Brougham nine as they backed up the six hit pitching of Fred Brown for a 7-4 score. Brown who got off to a bad start was master of the game until the ninth inning when the Brougham team scored another pair of runs. It appeared as if the Brougham team which scored two in the first and then had to wait until the ninth to score, were want- ing to give the score-keepers a full end of the score sheet at both ends. Brown, however, made things a little tougher in the remaining seven frames as five of these were hitless and only singles in the third ond fifth. Brown fanned seven and issued a pair of free passes. Miller gave up seven hits, fanned eight and gave up only one free pass. The Brougham team started off on the right foot as they were out to avenge the 7-5 defeat handed them by the Stokers in the first| game of the season. The visitors bounced right at the Stokers as they made good a fielder's choice and two singles for a pair of runs. The Stokers nary got a man on the paths in their half of the first as Dafoe flied to centre field and Gibson and Spencer fanned. In the second, Brown found his old wing working to perfection and the same thing applied to Brougham, a fly to centre field and two strike- outs. TRY A BUNT The Stokers then applied a bit of strategy in their half of the second as they found out that a bunt was a good thing. A walk to Jordan and a hit by McEwen, the new first sacker who had three for four last night, followed by a couple of errors and a single by Brown who had a pair of bingles accounted for a pair of the tal- lies and the game was all tied up. With two away in the third and a runner on base, Bradshaw hit a double but good fielding 'by the Stokers held the runner;at third, Booth then lined to first for the third out. The Stokers went one up in their half of the third as they made good two errors along with a bingle for a tally. Brown retired MUSIC TEACHER ARTHUR W. LYNDE, L.H.CM.

For the Stokers in the fourth Brown singled with two out but Dafoe flied to left field. Brougham appeared to be head- ed for a rally in the fifth as they got a pair of men on the paths but Brown was on his toes as were a few of the other fellows and they cut' short any hopes the visitors had of getting a big rally going. The Stokers added another in the fifth as Jordan hit a long one into right field that went for a single but the fielder booted it and Jordan made the rounds (of the paths, that is). MANAGE RALLY For the visitors in the sixth, sev enth, and eighth it was just three men- up and as many down. The Stokers did a little better. They managed a three run rally in the eighth.
