PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1951 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS Sm ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 STREETS AND SUBWAY FLOODED IN HEAVY RAINFALL Highway Traffic Is Stalled, Cellars In Town Are Flooded Streets and cellars were flooded in many sections of the - town and the water in the CPR subway on Dundas Street East rose to a depth of six feet, stalling traffic, when storm sewers and tiles were unable to cope with one of the heaviest rainfalls on record which followed in the wake of a severe electrical storm yesterday afternoon. Miniature lakes were formed on several streets. Many cellars were reported flood- ed and there was nothing that could be done about it as sewers were taxed to capacity, diverting the water into over- flowing difches. The town's storm sewer system was never built to take care of rain as heavy as this. SUBWAY FLOODED In the OPR subway on Dundas Street East hundreds of cars, and trucks were held up for hours when the water at one time rose to a height of six feet. A Times-Gazette truck bringing papers to Whitby was stalled for the best part of an hour and was then compelled to turn back and come in over the four-lane highway. Officers were stationed at the subway diverting traffic, One car was actually float- ing in the water. CREEK OVERFLOWS When the creek on Ash Street overflowed its banks several gar- dens in the vicinity took an awful beating. The water was up over the road and created a flood at Donalds and adjoining properties. DITCH WASHED OUT On Pine Street almost in front of Mrs. Bird's residence a ditch which had just been filled in after the removal of an old water main was washed out and caused quite a flood. A barricade was. erected. POLE BROKEN OFF Just before the storm broke a motorist going east hit a pole op- posite Algoma Cabins, east of the subway and broke it off. Fortun- ately the transformer did not top- ple otherwise the car would have been smashed and the driver killed. He was Frank Adey, 88 Gibbons Street, Oshawa, who skidded on the wet pavement while trying to avoid a westbound car. The PUC had to replace the pole. CUT TRENCH ON STREET The heavy rain cut a trench al- most through fhe centre of Coch- rane Street and washed a large quantity of gravel from the On- tario County Home construction job on to the street and on to No. 2 highway. It would take a long time to move the gravel back, those who saw it figured. WATER OVER BRIDGE A motorist called at the police station at 9.30 last night to report that the water was up over the bridge on Base Line West, east of Roy Brown's and that a car trying to make its way through the water almost came to grief, "One side of the car was floating," he told Con- stable Bruce Killens, who contacted the provincial police. POWER WENT OFF At the height of the storm the power went off all over town. It was Chas. Bradley & Son Decorating Contractors For Efficient Service Call .

Two switches were thrown here but the PUC did not have to do any repair work. Green Street opposite Chief Love's home was a regular lake and the chief had to wade through to his waist to get to his garage. The police department and the office ot the works supervisor had many calls, Byron Street south of the dairy there was a large flood and the water was completed over the pave- ment. A new sewer was recently laid in the ditch there and had been filled in. At Hospital All the way from the Island of Malta, whose citizens were award- ed the George Cross by His Majesty the King for their bravery during the second great war, have come twenty men to work as guards at the Ontario Hospital. These Mal- tese, loyal British subjects, are glad te come to Canada where there are s0 many opportunities for employ- ment, and, according to Dr. D. R. Fletcher, those who have been here for several w now are doing a splendid job and like Canada very much, Three have already brought their families here and others will when they can find homes for yom a task that is not easy in itby today. The men, when the yarrivd in Canada, were cleared through the immigration office which has been operating at Ajax for some time. Dangerous Trees Are Cut Down Several large trees in town which were considered to be dangerous or interfering with electric wirs, have been cut down or trimmed during the past week or two. The Ashvale Tree Company, who employ experts, carried out the work under the supervision of Works Supervisor Gordon Davis. One of the largest trees taken down was located on Byron Street South right at Don Gibson's home. This giant was from 40 to 50 feet tall, and its trunk measured six feet across, It was cracked right up the centre and was considered to be dangerous, Mr, Gibson's lawn for several days looked like a lumberman's bush lot. | The work was done on a contract basis, It had been contemplated for some time, BROC EVENING SHOW 7 P.M.

SEND IN THE NAMES Viscount Greenwood of the IODE has for some time been sending food parcels to the men from Whit- by who have signed up since the Korean conflict started. In order to keep the list up-to-date it is neces- sary that those who know of men who have joined the services should send in their names. A telephone message to the regent, Mrs. Robert Langford, will be appreciated. Lad Burned By Live Wire London, Ont. (CP)-- Eight-year- old Denny Madge, his hands severely burned -- the left one through to the bone -- as a result of a schoolboy adventure Saturday, today was reported in improved condition in Victoria hospital, He grabbed a live hydro wire in an attempt to save himself in a fall from the marquee of the Elm- wood theatre.

Bar's Grease In Comeback As Hair Lure Ramore, Ont, (CP) -- It's bad news for bears, but one of the original, although almost forgotten, cure-alls and hair-restorers is com- ing back. . "Bear grease," says Kelly Cham- andy, the big bear man of northern Ontarfo, "is good for every ailment of man, but it's particularly good for human hair, Baldness is un- known among the Indians because they use it," he claims, Kelly, a fur trader in this little bush community north of Kirkland Lake, is building a small industry based on the sale of "bar's" grease to customers located from Mexico City of British Columbia. He will reduce about two dozen bears to grease this summer and will buy all the "essence de bear" that sure rounding trappérs can supply: This year he already has run out of merchandise and it is still too early for bear rendering. "There's no use trying to get grease from a bear during the spring. He's skinny as a rake when he comes out of hibernation. Now he is beginning to get nice and fat again," he said. Bear grease reached the pinnacle of fame during great-grandpa's day. His hair and mustache would be all slicked up with it when he took grandma sparking in the buggy. Some years later their children could be seen marching off, well- greased, to Sunday School. But it sank into obscurity as the bears got rendered right out of existence in the civilized parts of the coun- Now Kelly, himself sporting & new crop of hair, is putting it back the market.'

Jobs Opening At Fast Pace Over Canada 'The seeding of field crops, the opening of the Gaspe and Pacific fisheries, the extension of ocean navigation to the St, Lawrence and the further expansion of construc- tion and mining activity have all contributed to the creation of more than 300,000 jobs in Canada in the past three menths, A considerable addition to the labor force has been required to meet this demand, state Financial Counsel. Toward the end of May, summer activities were quickly absorbing large groups of job seekers, together with an increasing flow of immi- grants and many thousands of stu- dents and women who regularly join the working force for the sum- mer months.

(Jy18) 48--Auction Sale durable goods industries, high and increasing inventories and a con- sumer demand reduced by restric- tions on credit have caused many short. time lay-offs and the prospect of reduced mgoduction schedules. A seasonal decline in demand for some lines of clothing, outweighing the effect of defense orders, has also caused lay-offs and short time work in a considerable number of secon- dary textile firms, LEAVE FARMS The demand for farm help, eased somewhat by arrival of Italian and Dutch families and the completion of spring seeding operations, was still strong in many areas, as wor- kers continued to leave for betetr paying jobs in construction and in- dustry. Pulp companies were also experiencing difficulty in obtaining men for work in the bush during the summer. Summer operations were on a higher level than in previous years. : To the list of scarce occupations, which previously included machin- ists, tool and die makers, welders, miners, farm hands, loggers and bushmen, were added structural steel workers and other construction skills. An increasing number of em~ ployers were regarding immigration as the solution to their pressing needs.

Salvation Army Picnic Big Success Lynbrook Park echoed with the singing and laughter of over one hundred Salvationists on Saturday, July 14th, The occasion was the annual pic- nic of the Whitby and Port Hope centres of the Salvation Army. Children united with their parents and elders in a fast moving schedule of games and races, Swimming, balloon bursting, pot- ate, soda-cracker and peanut-pushe- ing races were amongst those thoroughly enjoyed by the Sunday School picnickers, " Patch-sewing, rolling-pin throw- ing, pop-sucking through a nipple contests were a source of amuse- ment and popularity amongst the adults, The picnic concluded with a sing- song, presentation of prizes and de- votional service. Sincere appreciation is extend- ed to Lieut. John Ham, Lieut Ray Calbert of Port Hope, and Lieut. Miriam A. Knapp of Whitby for organizing and supervising the pic- nic and to the many comrades and friends who assisted in making the day a delightful success, -- M. A. K. Elizabeth Goes on Diet London (AP)-- Princess Eliza- beth's new streamlined look was explained by court circles today-- she has been on a rigid diet since May. The Princess began putting on weight after the birth of her second child, Princess Anne, last Aug. 15. By January her appearance was not far short of what, in a com- moner, might have been called pleasingly plump. There are ru- mors that a joking remark about that time by her husband, Prince Philip, made her decide to do some thing about it. Her reported goal was to lose 20 pounds. Since then she has frequently been heard turning down the richer foods at official dinners with a 'no thanks, I'm on a diet." Buckingham Palace declined to say how much weight the Princess has lost or what diet she followed. T. C. MYGLAND First closs painting ond decorating.

Torches opened the scoring in the last of the first with a six run out- burst, as Doris Clarke led off by getting on on an infield error and going right on to second. Moira O'Connor sacrificed her on to third, and the Toronto pitcher was unsuccessful in attempting to make a play at third instead of first. Joyce Tucker walked to fill the bas- es. June Terry singled, driving in two runs and winding up on sec- ond herself on the throw in, Mary Waizman did the same as June, and Joan Melrose popped to second, for the first out, and Betty Barlow singled, bringing in another. Marion Fletcher followed with -a long triple down the right foul line, but was caught at the plate as Doris Clarke hit into a fielder's choice. Torches made it 10+0 in the second session, as Moira O'Connor led off with a double, Joyce Tucker got a safety on an error. June Aerry then tripled, to drive in two more runs, and Mary Waizman walked. Betty Barlow flied out toright, but drove in a run. Marion Fletcher rapped out her second straight triple for another run. TNT tallied their first three runs in the third as Kay Heraty singled and stole second. Twelve-year-old Reta McCann (daughter of the trainer of the last King's Plate win- ner) then got on on an error to short, and Sylvia Harvey and Bev Brodie followed with singles. To- ronto added three in the fifth on two walks and three hits, Phyllis Jones and Kay Heraty getting sin- gles and Lillian Yorg a clean triple. Reta McCann and Lillian Yorg were the stars of the game for the visitors. Reta went to the mound in relief in the second inning, and threw fine ball the rest of the way, although it was her first pitching effort this season. Lillian Yorg had a triple and single for the News- les and had no fewer than six bases in two trips. In each case she made second successfully on a steal, and did mot show the slightest in- clination to slow up at that point, but kept right on to third even though the catcher made a good throw to second. By the time Joyce Tucker relayed the ball to third, Lillian was almost home. Nothing for it but three steals on each trip, as there were no errors. Another 12-year-old, Betty Bar- low, was the fielding star of the game for the winners. Betty, in right field, made three beautiful plays, each good for an assisted pute out, and turning three sure hits info mere fielder's choices. One was a throw to the plate, one to third, and one to short. June Ter- ry, a newcomer to Torches lass week, rounded out two sigles and a triple and was credited with bate ting in six runs. Joyce Tucker and Betty Barlow each hit three for five, and Marion Fletcher had two triples in five tries. The hit of the game, however, went to little Doris Clarke, who socked a line-drive homer over centre field, that was labeled all the way. Torches threw some confusion ine to the good crowd of fans, as well as the visiting team. Apparently the fans who have not seen the Whitby team before were cheering for the wrong side in error. The Whitby Torches did win the game, and are wearing Cunningham & Hill uniforms, These are the team's uniforms for all of this season, through the kindness of Lyle Best, manager of the C. & H. senior team at Sunnyside, Toronto. The name "Torches" has been taken from the plumber's blow-torch emblem of the sleeves of the uniforms, The visitors Tuesday night at seven will be the Oshawa Junior Wildcats, and on Saturday night at seven something special is in store for the fans, as the 1950 Ontario Junior Champions, St, Catharines Macettes, come in for a game with the Torches. Another real treat will be presented on August 25th, as two Sunnyside senior teams, Peo- ples Credit Jewellers and Cunning- ham & Hill, will play an exhibition floodlight game at the town park. This will certainly be senior ball at its best, and the proceeds will go towards promoting junior and ju- venile girls' softball and basketball in this district.
