CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Lush Apple Crop Being Harvested Help Plentiful Ontario and Durham Counties, among the best apple orehard districts in the province, are today embarking on a bountiful harvest. It is a heavy crop -- better than average _and considerably better than last year. A few growers, especially those who did not spray carefully and extensively, are finding that this neglect has seriously damaged their crops. But they are not many amongst those orchardists who take the business seriously. Due to a wet early summer, there is a lot of scab showing this year. McIntosh apples are "hardest hit by the scab. But all-in-all, it has been a favorable | growing year and trees are now red-spotted with a lush crop. - The economic law of supply and® demand, however, is working at present to the disadvantage of the grower. In anticipation of a large harvest, prices are low. Aggravating that situation is the fact that ade- quate export markets have been lacking for some 10 years now. For the next four weeks, an army of pickers will be working in the orchards every fine day. Despite full ployment in industry, orchardists Snip nding no trouble getting Th In fact they do not need to ertise at all to make their needs 4 , Becalise of shorter factory and store hours and because of the $ive day week, many persons are Rn their spare time to good 3 Viking apples and at the same picking up extra cash, Ajax Lad Fined - $50 For Striking Chinaman In Eye { "That was a terrific puneh you : used--if it was only one," com- mented Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs yes- { terday, sentencing Bruce Linton, : 186, of Ajax, on a charge of assault- ! ing an Ajax Chinese, Matthew { Wong. 'I am certainly not going ' to allow boys such as you to run i; around loose doing things like : that." . The fine was $50 and costs or i} one month, The court is explor- ! ing the possibility of also requir- : ing Linton to pay Wong's hospital : and doctor's bills of more than $63. The fracas took place in an Ajax + restaurant on Sunday, September : 18. Wong received a badly batter- * ed right eye for which he had to be hospitalized. Wong told the : court that he was asleep down- : stairs in the restaurant when he heard a disturbance upstairs. Go- ing up, he found three boys argu- ing with a waiter over the use of the pinball machine. He ordered them out of the restaurant and an | part argument ensued. In his own defence, Linton said: "I was drinking pop and watching some boys play the pin ball ma- : chine. A young Chinese pulled out ! the plug and an argument started. This man (Wong) came in and grabbed me by the throat. He said 'I've been after you for a long time.' I had to hit him to keep from being choked." Linton deniéd that he had been involved in an argument at all, and told the court, "I have been in there before when arguments start and Wong always comes to me." Also giving evidence were Frank Lehman and Ronald Williams, companions of Linton. Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall added: "Wong has been requested by the police to try and stop rowdyism that goes on around there. It is not reasonable to sup- pose a little man like him would attack a customer. My observa- tion has been that these Chinese are very law-abiding people ex- cept for occasional games of fan- tan." ..

Progress On Repairs To Kin Arena Slowly but surely a great trans- formation is taking place in the west end of the Kinsmen Arena, as night after night members of the Club 'labor' with toel and 'building materials. Ag a matter of fact, it may be said that the entire wing is being rebuilt and when citizens visit the arena for the forthcoming carnival they will witness a change. Practically a new wall, well sup- parted has been erected on a con- crete base. One can hard- imagine that such a fine job could be done fith a of the wing that was prac- tically falling down. Reports on the progress of the work reviewed at the Club luncheon-meeting last meeting. Plans for the carnival were also discussed and they were shown to be well under way. The Club now has a fine member- ship and in additional to the arena the elub has other community pro- jects in hand. Contrary to the opinions of some it does not own the swimming pool but made a substantial cash contribution to its construction as a community pro- ject.

STEVEN GRAY IN JOHNNY'S JUNGLE WAR FOR AMERICA'S STOCKPILE! Traveller, Naturalist Tells Rotarians of Wonders of Alaska Whitby Day By Day Accounts of social eveats, aay news items of local interest and of vi are PHONE 73 PP A man who has traversed Can- ada from coast to coast and sev- eral other countries because of Ris interest in conservation, wild life and love of the beautiful and the majestic in nature, came to Whitby Rotary Club Tuesday and gave a travelogue which was not highly educational but something out of the ordinary. He was Bill Laing, of Toronto, traveller, na- turalist, lecturer, photographer and artist who is at present living in Whitby while doing some work for the General Motors at Oshawa. Mr. Laing numbers among his feats travelling 70,000 miles in four years in a trailer, in which he lived, moved and had his be- ing. ands of feet of film of Canada's natural beauty, wild life and his- toric places. He ha% travelled by every means of transportation, and is particularly enthusiastic about Alaska. He showed some wonder- ful pictures on the moose at the inter-city gathering last week in Oshawa, sponsored by the Rotary Club. In his address Mr. Laing told the Rotarians that he had in his travels visited the four gulfs, St. Lawrence, Mexico, California and Alaska, but it was of the latter great country now being developed as the result of the war-time con- struction of the Alaska highway that he spoke most of. The de- scription of a trip taken by him and Mrs. Laing four years ago from California up through Mex- ico and Arizona, on to southern audience very attentive. Mr. Laing said that the Alaska highway for the most part is the finest gravel road he has ever travelled on. A distance of 1,600 miles from Dawson to Fairbanks was built during the war in eight months, but, a fact known to few, was that it had a foupdation, for there had been trails of a kind as modes of transportation. Of the distance of 2,500 miles are in the United States, all the rest being in Canada. Mr. Laing's reference to such places made famous dur- ing the days of Robert W. Service, poet of the Yukon, and Rex Beech, were of particular interest, Lfor he has seen and explored them all.

One explanation was the almost continuous sun- shine in June and July in a land where it is always daylight. He said that a considerable amount of the land could be cultivated and as this work provided food which for one thing was very high in price because of heavy trans- portation costs, could be reduced in price and made more plentiful, The Alaska highway, said the speaker, "is open all the year round from Alaska to Fairbanks, and a large portion of the cost is borne by Canada for it is a mili- tary highway. The speaker was introduced by President Bud Goode, and thank- ed by Rotarian Doc Mills. He was invited to return to the Club at an early date and bring some of the wonderful pictures he has tak- en. Changed Garage Bill, Oshawa Man Admitted A young Oshawa man, Garvin Wilson, was placed on suspended sentence and probation for six months when he pleaded guilty in court in Whitby yesterday to a charge of false pretenses. Com- .plainant is Allan M. Gouldburn of Port Whitby. Gouldburn told the court that his car was in collision with one driven by Wilson. Gouldburn agreed to pay the damages and eventually was presented with a garage bill for $17.50. Investigation showed that the ac- tual amount of the bill was only $7.50. Wilson admitted having al- tered the figures. "He explained that he did not intend to be dishon- est but that he did work on the bumper of his car which he con- sidered was worth an additional Restitution will be made.

BROOKLIN ELIMINATES BRADFORD Geared for action, the Brooklin Dodgers knocked the Bradford Celery Kings out of the playoffs as they walloped them 27-7 in a fast-moving Intermediate lacrosse tilt in Brooklin last night. Last night's game puts the Brooklin Club in the Ontario In- termediate B finals, for the first time since 1940 when they were bested by Owen Sound. Things looked dark for the crew at the end of the season as they came through 26 games with only six wins, But the fans fears vanished as the club came up with one win after another in the playoffs to end up in the finals with only one loss to their credit. BRADFORD COLLAPSES Last night's game was a dis- appointment to the fans especjall the many supporters who travelled from Bradford to sup- port their crew. The Celery Kings after putting up four fighting games, making each victory for Brooklin ha.d earned, were expect- ed to make things pretty hot for the local boys, but instead they did not appear to be the same club. Their heart was not in the game as they allowed the Dodgers to trample them into the dust. The ball was not under their control for more than ten minutes of the match and they managed to work into position for not more than 20 shots on the Brooklin net. In the final period the Dodgers played very hap-hazardly, as they missed many passes, only half trying for them, and took their time recover- ing loose balls. Even at this they held the play and out scored Brad- ford 4-3. Brooklin's scoring honors were divided up with only the goalie and one 'defenceman not coming up with either a goal or an assist. Hugh Ormiston came through with seven scoring shots. Gerd Cook counted five, assisting on three others while Harold Gwyn notched four and Bud Christie scored the hat trick. A pair apiece was scor- ed by Don Mitchell and Bill Vi- pond while Luther Vipond, Bruce Mitchell, George Richardson and Bob Batten each singled. Of Brook- lin's twenty-seven county shots there were twenty-one assists given showing that the team-work of the crew accounted for most of the goals. Bradford's counters were John- stone with threé, Mashinter with two while Weise and Lowe each ac- counted for one. FOUR QUICK GOALS Brooklin started in with four quick goals in the first three min- utes of play. Bill Vipond added an- other halfway through the first quarter with an overhand shot from centre, Gord Cook added an- other running across in front of the net drawing the goalie out and firing as he reached the opposite side. Hugh Ormiston scored twen- ty seconds later after latching on to a rebounding ball just out of the crease. Cook and Ormiston each added another to give Brooklin a 9-0 lead at quarter time. The play continued much the same in the second period. Brad- ford managed to slip in three coun- Hugh Ormiston started the scoring in this quarter. Another was add- ed when a Brooklin trio composed of Cook at centre with the ball, Christie on the left wing and Gwyn on the right wing, swept in on two Bradford defencemen. Cook faked an underhand goal-shot foiling the two Bradford players, and passed to Gwyn who scored. Gord Cook added another later in the quarter after he faked an underhand shot and scored with one of his few overhand shots, Christie added an- other receiving a free throw from Gwyn and George Richardson counted six seconds after the sec- ond of two quick Bradford goals. Don Mitchell finished up the Brooklin counting for the first half. GOALIE IS REPLACED Bulpit replaced Murray in the Bradford net at halftime and they also started to play for breaks leaving one or two men up in Brook- lin's end even though the play was around their own net. Gwyn added the first goal of this period and half-a-minute later Luther Vipond scored his only goal of the even- ing with a fluke, when his shot, fired at centre well back in Brook- lin's end, banked off the boards into the net. Even with a man ad- vantage Bradford: failed to stop the local club as a goal by Ormiston continued to roll up the count. Counters i-ere also added by Chris- tie and Gwyn before the period was half over. Another three were add- ' BROOKLIN (Continued on Page 5) Polio Takes Life Of Whitevale Man L. F.

The statement is as follows: The Township of Whitby Flood- light Committee wishes to inform those who have already contributed towards the erection of floodlights in our Community Park and others who still intend to do so that com- pletion of the work has been held up owing to a number of unfore- seen circumstances. In addition, it was found that a fairly substan- tial hydro service charge covering a full season would apply even if the lights were used only for a short period, and it was decided, there- fore, to postpone tiseir operation until next season. However, the project is definitely going forward, some of the material has been pur- chased and it is' hoped to have the lights up shortly and ready for use early next spring.

Wor. Bro. Durkin, of Port Perry. Wor. Bro. A. A. Archibald, director of ceremonies officially presented Bro. Pringle to the Mas- ter of Composite Lodge, Wor. Bro. William Courtney, who, on behalf of the Lodge, warmly congratulate. ed Bro. Pringle upon the honor he had brought to himself and to his lodge. The master then pre- sented him Rt. Wor. Bro. Gordon Bunker, of Oshawa, immediate past district deputy grand master, who elaborated upon Bro. Pringle's outstanding record of 52 years a Mason, 45 years a pastmaster and 40 years treasurer. Bro. Bunker said '"There is no honor without a parallel duty," adding that this honor would place Bro. Pringle in an even better position to render service to his lodge. Bro. Bunker said the grand master had been more than pleased to recognize such outstanding service to the craft. He then . presented Bro. Pringle to Rt. Wor. Bro. Durkin to regale him as a grand steward on behalf of the grand master. Very Wor. Bro. Pringle warmly expressed his deep appreciation, and told how his appointment te grand lodge had come as a com- plete surprise. Others taking part in the cere- | mony included Wor. Bro.

Pringle, who, in his maiden speech as a grand lodge of- ficer, told his audience something of Masonic benevolent work, and intimated that membership in On- tario had more than doubled in the past ten years. A toast to the visitors, graciously proposed by Bro. M. Slichter, was fittingly responded to by Wor. Bro. Gerrow, of Port Perry, and Very Wor. Bro. H. 8. White, of Oshawa. The toast to the candidate of the evening was humorously, but ap- propriately proposed by Bro.
