PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JULY 16, 1951 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS | ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Boys Enjoy a Fine Week of Recreation At The Annual Day Camp Tired but very happy, 37 bays re- turned Friday night from "Camp Hood", where, under the auspices of the Whitby Recreation Associa- tion, they had enjoyed a wonder- ful week in the open spaces. It rained twice, but this did not darmp- en the enthusiasm of the youngsters. This week the girls will have their innings and it is expected that they, too, will enjoy the outing. It is to be Indian Week for the girls and for the boys the following week, when the program will centre around things that will recall the history of Canada's Indians. Indian cos- tumes, relics, war dances and what have you will be the order of the week, it is announced by the camp director, Mrs. Anne Myrrd, Pine Street. Assisting the director are Miss Beverley Barrons, Miss Mary Ferguson, Miss Eunice Hardy, of Whitby, and Miss Phylis Dunston, of Oshawa. When the camp opened early last week 26 boys turned up but by the next morning there were 37. On the program were sports of all kinds, baseball, softball, volley ball, treasure hunts and a generous amount of swimming when wea- ther permitted. The old swimming hole was brought into being when the boys, working like beavers for the first two days, built a mud dam, as the regular dam used by the Scouts and by the camp last year was washed out. The swimming hole was made deep enough for swim- ming for the older boys and not too deep for the smaller lads, Friday a marshmallow roast proved to be a big hit and it made a fine ending for a week that the boys will long remember. A similar program is to be carried out this week for the girls and it is hoped to be able to get some as- sistance from the Salvation Army officers along religious lines. The recreation day camp is now in its fourth year and fills a very useful place in the life of the com- munity. It is operated for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 14. It operates for four weeks and not a few citizens furnish trans- portation and other necessities. President of the Recreation As- sociation is Don Gaine and the sec- retary is Ross Scott. Couple Took Vows Saturday Afternoon In Baptist Church The Whitby Baptist Church was the scene of a pretty summer wed- ding, Saturday, July 14, 1951, when Rev, C.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, looked lovely in a white gown of French chantilly lace and tulle, She wore a finger-tip veil held by a headdress of satin and seedpearls and she carried a cas- cade bouquet of red and white roses. Her only attendant was Mary Gledhill who was gowned in a floor léngth dress of pale green lace, matching headdress and car- ried a bouquet of pink and yellow roses. Mr, James Sabiston was grooms- man while Clifford Labbet and Gordon Neal, brother of the bride, acted as ushers. The reception was held in the Sunday School hall. Mrs. Nea] re- ceived in a navy blue marquisette with white accessories, the bride- groom's - mother wore navy blue mesh with lace and blue accessor- es.

GROCERY BUSINESS SOLD For three years and four monts Mr, and Mrs. James E. Martin have carried on successfully a grocery business at 1103 Brock Street South. During that time the business has expanded and enjoyed a liberal patronage. They have disposed of the business to two well-known local people and neighbors, M. Prentice and Earl Waddell, who started op- erating it this morning. They will continue to give the good service for which the Martins were noted. WEEK-END TRAFFIC HEAVY Although the traffic passing through the town on both highways Saturday and Sunday was, in the words of one police officer, terrific, and easily the heaviest this sea- son, no accidents were reported to the local police department. The police had to direct. traffic at the Dundas-Brock intersection Sunday night when it was at'its height. Fine Yachts And Cruisers Visited Whitby Harbor Several fine yachts and cruisers visited Whitby harbor over the week end. On Saturday the sailing sloop, "Patricia," captained by E. M. Wedd, of Toronto, put in on its return journey from a cruise through the Thousand Islands. The "Killua," of the Royal Cana- dian Yacht Club, owned by Com- modore Binch, spent Saturday night in the harbor. On Saturday afternoon, Skipper Holliday took his "Adastra 11" on a cruise from Whitby to Port Hope with a party of guests from Toron- Play Donkey Baseball At Brooklin There will be spills and thrills and laughter galore at the donkey baseball game to be played on Tues- day evening at 7.30 at the Brooklin Memorial Park. The teams playing are Whitby Businessmen, and Brooklin Busi- nessmen. Mounted on donkeys their actions will be akin to, if not 'more fierce, than the famous charge of the Light Brigade. The fans can expect to howl until their sides ache. The game is sponsored by the Whitby Township Floodlight Com- mittee with the proceeds going into the Floodlight Fund. Everybody in Brooklin will be there and a large number will accompany the Mer- chants from Whitby. It is reported that the objective of the fund is in sight but that it will take many more dollars to make the lighting possible, KRIEGHOFFS AT CHRISTIE'S Five Canadian .scenes painted by Cornelius Krieghoff in the late 1850"s were sold at Christie's in London last week.

Deputation To See' Government Today A deputation from the Whitby Public Utilities Commission went to Toronto today to interview the deputy-minister of Municipal af- fairs at Queen's Park with respect to the action that should be taken to clean up the contentious ques- tion of Waterworks By-law No. 66. The deputation consisted of Chair- man John G. Strathy, Superintend- ent Herbert L. Pringle, Secretary H. C. Simpson and Hydro Auditor Reihl. : Decision to send a deputation to the department was made at the last meeting of the Commission, when it appeared that after a long discussion a solution to the com- plex problem was no nearer than it was a year ago. The facts in connection with the debenture issue under the by-law, and the disposition of the proceeds, will be laid before the deputy-min- ister. Briefly, it will be recalled, part of the money which had been designated for a new intake pipe and the extension to the proposed Dunlop plant was used for other emergent purposes, such as making extensions to houses under con- struction. How to make up the amount so that the intake can be proceeded with and when, if found nf , will be the main ques- tion to be placed before the dep- uty-minister, and on the depart- ment's advice a final solution to the problem may be reached. Whitby In the Lead In South Ontario, League With Whitby leading the South Ontario Softball League,jso far, and competition as keen as it is, any- thing is liable to happen before the issue is decided and play-off time rolls around. League standing to date is as follows: Won Lost wll Brougham Brooklin . Dunbarton .... Pickering 10 This standing includes games played up to July 13th. As there are some rained-out games to play and ties, the shape of things to come after the games are played off 3 5 6 6 may have a different complex and the outcome of the league may be affected, All games will be played before the play-offs get under way; so teams with rained-out games to play should get moving. All managers are urged to get their players' certificates away to the OASA and also a list of all signed into the league secretary by July 20th. The league secretary is William Bryant, Pickering. With the co-operation of The Times- Gazette results of games will be published each week. Players in all teams should remember that no time should be wasted. If a game is called for 8:30, that does not mean nine. Ask Govt. to Assume Educational Costs A proposal calling for the Pro- vincial Government to assume full responsibility for educational costs in Ontario and presented to Ontar- io County Council by East Whitby Township recently was endorsed and recommended by Pickering Council on July 3rd. The motion, tendered by Deputy Reeve Dr. Neil McEwan also stip- ulated that the Provincial Govern- ment take over responsibility of fin- ancing new school buildings throughout the Province. The fact that the Government has larger sources of revenue than are avail- able to municipal councils and that a great burden would be lifted from real estate if municipal school lev- ies were removed from the annual tax rates was cited as the basic reason for presenting such a mo- tion. Reeve W. W. Westney warned that under such a scheme the muni- cipality would lose control of all educational institutions within their township boundaries "If the Government takes over the finan- cial responsibility they will certain- ly take over full control." "This Council has no control now!" the Deputy Reeve cried, "The Government tells us what plans we must follow in building new schools, they tell us where to build these schools, they tell us what type of desks to install, they tell us what to pay our teachers. so what con- trol could we lose? "We sit here like a bunch of stuffed pidgeons," Dr. McEwan continued, "We have no say, but we do have the bills to pay. Actual- ly this Council hasn't the authority to do one thing! We pay fifty per cent of the costs while the Govern- ment retains 100 per cent of the control. I say we have nothing to lose by asking that the Government assume full responsibility for our educational system." The Council's endorsement of the proposal, originated by East Whit- by Township, will be submitted to Ontario County Council for presen- tation to the Provincial Depart- ment of Education.

Miss Elizabeth Evans met with an accident in her own home a couple of days ago. It appears that Miss Evans had removed the grate ing from the cold air register, which was situated in the floor of the room, to paint it and then left it out while it was drying, Com- ing out of another room quickly and forgetting about the uncover- ed hole she walked right into it with the result that she was thrown heavily to the floor sustaining a broken arm and badly bruised and skinned ankles. Miss Evans is in her 83rd year and experienced a bad -night after falling. The acci- dent happened about nine o'clock in the evening and, managing to crawl to a chesterfield the injured woman sat or lay there until six the next morning when a neigh- bour noticing a light in the house went to ascertain if anything was wrong and found her suffering much pain. Mr. Norman Burton, of the Brock Road, about two miles south of Claremont, too met with a painful accident yesterday when he fell out of a hay mow in his barn to the floor fifteen feet below, injuring the base of his spine. Mrs, James Taylor of Claremont, tripped on the sidewalk just out- side her home, on Friday, sustain- ing a broken arm just above her elbow and badly bruising herself. Roy Copping of the Fifth of Ux- bridge, about three miles north of Claremont, had the misfortune to fall off a load of hay and break several ribs pn Friday. 'The local branch of the Cana- dian Legion held a garden party in the Claremont Community Park on Friday evening which attracted a large crowd. Among the attrac- tions were baseball games and a variety show with Al Harvey and Tom Hamilton taking part. The Legion is trying to raise some mon- ey to finish off their hall. Mr. and Mrs, Ed. Lewis accom- panied by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Graham and daughters of Osh- awa plan to take a trip to Fort Wil- liam starting next Saturday. In their absence Mr. and Mrs. Sam, Taylor will take care of the Bake- shop and Grocery business in Clare- mont. ' Old Railroad Folk Songs Still Popular New York (AP) -- The famous old railroad songs first made na- tionally -popular by the legendary Jimmy Rodgers will not drift into oblivion. A one -man crusade to guaran- tee their longevity is being launch- ed by Hank Snow, veteran country music singer who started singing in Western Canada. Snow comes to Broadway's "Tin Pan Alley" occasionally only to make some new records, sign a new contract with his song pub- lishers and then is off again, rid- ing the rails. A life "-long enthusiast for the tradition of railroad songs which Rodgers, a lanky yodeller and for- mer railroad brakeman, built up, Snow is perpetuating on records and radio such classics as "The Wrect of Old 97" and "Hobo Bill's Last Ride." On a quick trip to Broadway from the south the other day, Snow said that "as a child I listen- ed by the hour to my idol, Jimmie Rodgers' records of these railroad songs. Oddly enough, my first re- cognition in Tin Pan Alley came with a railroad song which I wiote myself called 'I'm Mdvin' n.' "I almost became a seagoing Snow said. "When I was only 14 my stepfather objected so much to my studying singing that he drove me out of the house. "I got a job as cabin boy on a ship sailing out of Nova Scotia, but when I got back to port I had enough of the sea 'and turned to railroading. "The memory of Jimmie Rod- gers' singing was so strong that I took a sentimental journey to Texas to meet Rodgers' widow. She gave me Rodgers' guitar and a lot of encouragement. : 'I've realized a life's dream in recording this real Americad folk music. It has been kept alive all these years by the railroad work- ers. Many of them learned the songs from their fathers, and their fathers before them. They are taken as seriously on the railroads as old time hymns." Merchants Win 14 Inning Home Thriller By JIM McCARROLL In a tightly contested game on Saturday afternoon, which lasted 3% hours, and went 14 innings, the Merchants eked out a close 3-2 de- cision over Port Hope Ontarios. Both pitchers, Woods for Port Hope and Zinser for Whitby, went the full route. Woods gave up five hits, four walks, hit three batters and struck out ten, while Zinser gave up six hits, eleven walks and had fourteen strikeouts. Port Hope and the Merchants both had chances to win the game during regulation time, but due to the lack of a hit at the right time, neither team took advantage of the situation, For the two games over the week end, Whitby pitchers amassed a total of 29 strikeouts while Whitby was struck out 25 times themselves. FIRST INNING Port Hope got runners to second and third via a single and a walk, but Zinser settled down and struck out the side. Whitby were more fortunate and scored their first tally when lead- off man Bob Ward got on first when his grounder was bobbled by Campbell at third, L, Yuill then singled to centre. Kellar hit a fielder's choice to first, who threw to Thickson, covering second, to force Yuill with Ward coming in to score. ONTARIOS THREATEN The Ports got a runner as far as third, with one away in the second, but he was left stranded as Zinser bore down. Again in the fourth they loaded the bases with none out and Zinser- struck out the next three batters. In the fourth the Merchants had runners on second and third with one away, but Woods struck out the next two batters. MERCHANTS INCREASE LEAD In the fifth Bob Ward led off with a single to centre. Len Yuill grounded out to first. Kellar grounded out, second to first, with Ward reaching third. MacDonald then got a life when the throw from Gilmer at short drew Bongard off the bag, with Ward scoring. PORT HOPE TIE GAME In the eighth, Ontaros finally broke the goose-eggs when Whitby seemed to relax. Edwardson, pinch- hitting for Gilmer, went down when his grounder was picked up by Zinser and Zinser raced to first for the out. Baxter followed with a walk, Ashby grounded to short for a perfect double play, but MacDon- ald let it go through his legs and everybody was safe. Bongard then singled to centre scoring two runs to tie up the ball game, In the ninth, Zinser was in trouble again. After Campbell went down, pitcher to first, Thickson drew a walk. Douglas, attempting to bunt, was called out when the ball touched his foot as he was running to first. Edwardson was safe when Zinser couldn't make a play on his slow roller to the mound. Baxter then walked to load the bases. Ash- by then grounded to short and Mac- Donald threw to Anderson at third, forcing Edwardson: Whitby went down in order in the ninth with Hanna, pinch-hit- ting for Anderson, grounding out to first and Zinser and B. Ward strik- ing out. MERCHANTS MISS THE BOAT Len Yuill led off in the tenth with a walk. Kellar hit a slow rol- ler to the mound and Woods threw to second to force Yuill. Kellar stole second base and when the throw from the catcher got away from Thickson, the shortstop, covering second, Kellar went to third. Whit- by put on: the squeeze play, but Woods, the pitcher, threw the ball low and MacDonald couldn't get his bat on it, causing Kellar to be out at home by a country mile. Ken then grounded out, short to first. In the top of the twelfth, the Merchants had a tight squeeze when Ashby led off for Port Hope with a single, Bongard walked and Phillips grounded to Hanna at third, Hanna tagged Ashby and threw to first in time to get Phil- lips for the double play. Woods then grounded to Zinser who raced Woods to first for the third out. steam out of Port Hope as they never threatened thereafter. LOCALS FINALLY SCORE After getting a runner to third with only one away in the thire teenth, Hanna grounded out to first to retire the side. In the fourteenth inning it was a different story. After two were gone, Len Yulll drew a walk. Kel lar, the next batter, hit a blooper into short left field; Douglas, after running miles, just ticked the ball with his glove and then gave it a kick, letting Yuill come in to score. It was a good game to, win and a tougher one to lose. The Merchants' next home game will be on Wednesday night at 6:30 when Colborne Dodgers will be the viditing team. Pt.
