WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE" WHITBY NEWS Landlord-Tenant Dispute Aired, Both Charge Assault A radio left playing all day a Whitby apartment building, while the owner was at work touched off a landlord-tenant fracas which blew itself out in court yesterday. Magis- trate A. E. Gee would have liked tenant Mrs. Helen Dayday to shake hands and make up with her land- lord Isaac Puckrin but the parties to the action just didn't feel like it. Nevertheless the assault charges which each had laid against the other, were dismissed by the court. Mrs, Dayday was represented by John Greer while Ralph Wallace appeared for Mr, Puckrin. Mrs. Dayday was allowed to give evidence first. The incident took place about five o'clock on the after- noon of September 24 at Mr. Puck- rin's apartment house at the corner of Centre and Keith Streets. Al- though Mr. Puckrin does not live there he was working downstairs in the house laying a floor with the help of carpenter William Grylls. Mrs. Dayday came home to find that her electric-power-was-off. On the witness stand she said she went the two men and Mr. Grylls said: shut it off. You left this morning with your radio going and your re- frigerator on. I'll turn it on when I feel like it." As I went to leave, Mr. Puckrin jumped up and grabbed my wrists to propel me out of the room. He struck me in the neck. Then both parties went up to Mr. J. M. Hicks, Justice of the Peace, 40 lay charges of assault. Mr. Puck- rin got there first. Mr. Wallace to Mrs. Dayday: "Had you not been asked before not to go away and leave the radio on?" . "No, just not to let it go too loud. And they said the refrigerator made too much noise." Mrs. Dayday. said it is her custom to turn her radio on at six in the morning. On dne occasion, she was wakened up by other tenants. Thinking it was morning, she got up and turned the radio on to find out what time if was. It was 4:30. At that time, soméonec complained her radio was going in the night. Then there was an argument over the hall light which operates from her meter. Asked why she turned it out, Mrs, Dayday said: "Sometimes the fuse blows and I haven't any handy. Anyway Mr. Puckrin is al- ways arguing about something. I can't keep track of it all." The Bench: "Obviously you are not the star tenant there." Mr. Puckrin said: "This day she came to where we were working and started using abusive language." Mr. Grylls: "It was fierce. She took a coupe of swings at me but missed." Mr. Greer to Mr. Puckrin: "What authorization did Grylls have to turn off the hydro." . Mr. Grylls: "A tenant complained about the radio playing, so I went down and pulled the switch. I in- tended to turn it on before I went' home. Mr. Puckrin was aware I did it. When Mrs. Dayday came in she was in a tantrum. She said I had no business turning it off but I said it was not nice to go to work and leave the radio on. She struck Mr. Puckrin several times. As we were trying to get her out of the room we opened the door, and I pushed her out. . Mr. Greer then told the court that notice to vacate has been served by the landlord. ~Magistrate Gee said: "It was an oversight by her to leave the radio on, The simpler thing would have been for Mr. Puckrin to use his pass key to go in and turn it off." Here Mr. Wallace objected that his client had no desire to enter his tenants apartments when they are absent, The magistrate: "I can understand her wrath when she came home to tind the power turned off. Appar- ently both of these parties are go- ing around with a chip on their shoulder. Cases dismissed." Welfare Council (Continued from Page 4) available. He noted with pleasure that a new recreation director had been just appointed in Whitby to carry on the fine work done by Gordon McMahon. While the post was vacant it had caused him quite a lot of concern lest the work be done by Mr. McMahon might be lost. Mr, Blow spoke of the welfare work done by churches and other organizations, including service clubs like Rotary. The Salvation Army. He pointed out, augmented public welfare in its program for every community; it picked up and filled the gaps. This, too, should be the role of volunteer agencies. "We should assess in our minds what we are going to do and co-operate in all co-ordinated appeals," he said, referring to the local cmomunity ches. The speaker felt that the citizens individually - and collectively in Whitby and the county should take an interest in the new county home soon to be opened. They should be interested in the type of staff to be employed, and consider how they can contribute towards making the place a real home for the men and women who will reside there. He pointed out that the expansion of old age pensions would probably keep many people from being committed to these homes as this was a phase of public welfare that should have careful consideration. The speaker closed with a detail of the very fine and extensive so- cial service work being done by the * Community Welfare Council of Ontario of which he is the ex- ecutive secretary, and left behind as he elaborated on the obpectives some food for careful study and thought, which might have local provincial and federal interpreta- tion and affiliation. The speaker was tendered a most sincere vote of thanks for his fine address. Brown Out (Continued From Page 1) of the 38th parallel and 28 miles northwest of Seoul. TRUCE HOPES DIE Tokyo (AP) -- Gen. Omar Brad- ley 'left Tokyo today after a fore- shortened visit that included a two- day tour of the Korean battle front. Shortly before his departure for Washington, the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff held a secret conference with top Ameri- can military leaders here amid fad- ing hopes of a negotiated truce in Korea. The meeting with army, air and navy commanders was presumed to be the most significant session Bradley held in his six-day visit. War cloud grew darker over Korea. For the seventh day Red leaders ignored a United Nations' proposal to reopen armistice talks at a new site in no-man's-land. Tokyo sources said the Reds have waited too long to make a favorable reply to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgh- way's suggestion to hold sessions near Songhyon, about six miles from Kaesong, the former site. The sources said they belieye truce talks actually are broken off. There has been no meeting since Aug. 22. ; Shortly before Bradley's depar- ture, and after his high level con- ference, Ridgway's headquarters announced a "partial blackout' of news from Korea. This usually is an indication of major military de- velopments. ; Speculation has been rife that Bradley was b g plans for new and bigger operations. Observers suggested these would be designed to impress the Reds with a reali: zation that they were certain to lose the Korean war. Seaway (Continued From Page 1) be ready to favor U.S. participa- tion. Representative Robert Secrest (Democrat) told a reporter that if Canada builds the huge project her- self, "we'll be paying tribute to Canada forever." Secrest, who opposed the project consistently while he was a mem- ber of the House public works com- mittee, said he felt the "whole mat- ter" should be reconsidered 'in the light of new developments." "If it's an assured fact that Can- ada plans to build the seaway." Secrest said, "I would like to see the U.S. take part, so we could have some say in the control of tolls." Ninety-five per cent of the ship- ping that could use the seaway, Secrest said, would be of U.S. reg- istry or destined for U.S. ports. Buckley raised somewhat the same point in telling a reporter that "I think it (the bill) bas a very good chance. After all, if Can- ada is going to build the water- way, why should this country's shipping pay tolls to Canada? Why shouldn't we be a part of the pro- ject?" Blatnik's bill differs substantially from the legislation which preced- ed it. It ignores an accord between the U.S. government and the State of New York which provided that after construction of the power pro- ject by the government it would be turned over to New York, at cost, for administration. Office Staff (Continued From Page 1) continuing work, their leaders make no bones about the fact that their sympathies are with the striking workers. They have said, however, that there will be no sympathy demonstration on the part of local 200. Temporary offices have been set up in the Prince Edward Hotel by management of the automobile plant but this is a makeshift ar- rangement for handling mail, tele- grams and other communications. Communication into the plant from outside is almost completely cut off. Switchboard operators are either respecting the picket line or are actively engaged on it. Although the striking workers have said that their strike is due to promotion and demotion griev- ances over a long period of time, the immediate cause is the dismis- sal of one man and the demotion of two others. They say the company has disre- garded seniority. rights in dismiss- als and has demoted some workers without adequate reason. Manage- ment said that they have heard this by word-of-mouth but have not been given an official list of grievances. Royal Couple (Continued From Page 1) Palace saying that the King is mak- ing steady progress. Elizabeth and Philip will fly from London airport in a four-en- gined stratocruiser of the British Overseas Airways Corporation on Monday, taking off at®12:30 a.m. local time (6:30 p.m. EST Sun- day). - The week's delay is responsible for the change in the ship, original- ly scheduled to be the Empress of France. Canopus, the stratocruiser which will take the couple to Canada, was taken out of normal service yesterday and conversion of the main passenger cabin into a lounge dining room began. Another sec- tion of the plane is being made into a bedroom. Royal blue and dove grey will be the color shceme. The airliner, a veteran of ' 200 Atlantic crossings, will also be fit- ted with new engines. Wverv nart is being checked. ¥ Korean Officers Train In U. S.

Overseas (Continued From Page 3) passengers from the Port of Glas- gow, At Largs a famous battle was fought in 1263 against Norse in- vaders, a rather sanguinary defeat, I think, for the Scots who were pur- sued inland north of the Clyde by the bold invaders. A monument in the form of a stone shaft stands on the seashore just in front of the old stone mansion now convert- ed into a hotel, where we spent the night. The next day we nassed through the long miles of Clyde- bank shipyards and engineering plants strung along that part of the river extending between Glas- gow and the ferry took us over a short passage to old Kirkpatrick, from where we drove west again to Dumbarton, rather gray and gloomy imifria city, and chen north into e- hills and glens around Loch Lomond and beyond. Next to Edinburgh itself I think the most stirring scene in all Scot- land is Stirling Castle. It has an ancient legendary quality as you approach it miles away on the roads of the level countryside above 'which it rises so high on its rocky hilltop." That quality persists when through the winding hilly streets of the town you at last find your way to its gates. It is magniféed when you wander through its ancient chambers and halls still bearing marks of their ancient elegance in the days of the Scottish Kings. The Prince's Tower is pointed out; so named because it contained the quarters where James VI of Scot- land and I of England lived as a youth and was educated for his royal taskeThe Douglas Room is a small chamber where one of the Stuart Kings is said to have des- patched the Earl of Douglas with his own hands and tossed his body out of the window. They were harch and bloodthirsty men these royal Scots of that day. On a hy/ll a short distance from the castle is pointed out a stone called the "Beheading Stone." A certain courtyard is re- ferred to as "The Lion's' Den" and we were assured that lions were kept there at one time. The situa- tion certainly seemed well suited to the purpose and the incidental detail about the nature and purpose of this royal menagerie was only vaguely suggested. ROMANTIC PROSPECT The most romantic prospect of all, however, is the view from the ramparts over the wide plain of the Forth River. It is a rich green countryside with the river winding in a serpentine course slowly through it. The Field of Bannock- burn is nearby and the great shaft of the Wallace Monument stands on a nearby hilltop. The wall of rock on which the castle stands falls sheer away fren the founda- tions all' down one side making a spectacular site for such a strong- hold. The rugged outcropping of the natural rock rising high above the green plain is a peculiarly Scot- tish scene and strikingly resembles the location of Edinburgh castle. Perth is a gray stone town of solid Scottish quality with the love- ly Tay River running right through it. Here one evening, having been entertained in the beautiful home and riverside gardens of friends in the suburbs of the town, we drove back in the gathering twilight, just before midnight, daylight saving time, with no need of lights on our car and no lights in the streets. Here we were in what was to me well remembered country as I had spent a few very pleasant weeks near here many years ago as a con- valescent war casualty. The next day we drove out to Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie, small towns near- by, and up the road to the top of the Sidlaw Hills overlooking the Firth of Tay. On the way we called at the old country home where I had been a guest and which I had remember- ed as a handsome resident, well maintained, with fine parks and gardens, The years had brought a change which is characteristic of the period in Britain. My host and hostess of former years, most graci- ous and distinguished people, had passed away. Their son: who in- herited the proeprty had also died, leaving a widow wha had remarried and now occupied the home, much run down in appearance although it had not yet reached the fate of so many of its aristocratic, neigh- bors where tourist parties are ine vited to inspect the premises and have tea to help support the in- creasing burden of maintaining the property. This has happened to many of the stately homes of Brit- ain At the famous old Glamis Castle, that, ancient Scottish landmark in nearby Forfarshire, certain days were set aside for tourist parties, although the residents of the area seem to regard this practice with some disfavor. OPEN TO TOURISTS Some days later at Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, we found a similar situation at Hopetoun House, the fine old margion of the Earls of Linlithgow, The present Earl, a distinguished statesman, was one of the last Viceroys of India and his father had held the same office before him. New this very large and handsome estate is open to tourist parties and we took an op- portunity of visiting it. In the course of the long front drive an attendant directs the parking of cars and collects a parking fee. The visitor then obtains a ticket for admission to the house and passing through a wide space which was formerly covered by lovely gardens but is now largely surfaced with broken stone, he is admitted to the same house by the main front en- trance and guided by attendants through a long series of apart- ments available to his inspection. These are, as might be expected, a very fine example of the gracious interiors of such homes, filled with fine old furniture and valuable paintings. The table in the .din- ing room is set with the family sil- ver and china and is illuminated, with curtains drawn, as though a dinner party was about to be en- tertained. When we visited here there were not many others then going through, but quite apparently they were prepared to accept busloads of tourists who very commonly call at these places of interest in their large groups. At one end of the wings of the great building is a large room, at one time used as a ballroom, but now set up as a res- taurant' where such parties could be accommodated for tea at a suit- able price. The whole was operated in the name of a limited company which, I understood, not only pro- vides the owner with some revenue but probably permits him a some- what more favorable position as a taxpayer than if he were to main- tain the property merely as a pri- vate residence. It is plain to see that this rather melancholy condi- tion of affairs is a natural result of changing social conditions and tle Rock, is Princes' Street and the more modern Edinburgh. Princes' Street is open through almost its entire length cn the south side, giv- ing a wide view of parks. and public buildings including tthe Scottish Na- tional Gallery and the tall Gothic spire of the huge monument to Sir Walter Scott. On its north side it is lined with the modern shops and hotels of the city and the renowned and handsome street itself is the principal thoroughfare, The great eminence -of Castle Rock, with the rugged old Castle crowding to its very edge, dominates the whole central part of the city and by night with the Castle illum- inated | floodlights it is & scene of peculiar splendor. Within the ram- parts of the Castle and at the high- War Shrine of Scotland. It is probably the most beautiful and as well the most articulate and expressive monument to the dead of the First"Great War erected any- where. It is a handscme stone build- ing of substantial size in a square castellated design blending well with the character of its surrovnd- ings. Its interior is divided into transepts and bays with arches sep- arating the tablets and colours of the various services and regiments. Each has its section of the wall of the building and spaséed about the walls are very beautifully dignified stained glass windows. The arrangement is-in--eomplete harmony, and in the middle oppo- .projection thrcugh jt of the native est peak of the rock is the National{ ritius alongside the Abadan jetties site the entrance is the central shrine or chapel almost miraculous in its beauty of Gothic vaulting and bronze and stone sculpture. The floor of the chapel is broken by the rock of Scotland, the highest point on Castle Rock. On this is an altar and upon it a steel casket contain- ing the names of the hundred thousand Scots who gave their lives for freedom, now supplemented by a vast number of Scots dead in the Second World War. Not in all Scot- land could one see anything else so beautiful or so eloquent an expres- sion of the strength and tenderness of the Scottish character. Britons Leave (Continued From Page 1) with 17 nurses, 22 staff employes, and Vera Flavell, owner of an Abadan guest house. The evacuation followed last-min- ute disagreements between the oil men and the British cabinet over and style of departure. Scheduled plans to take the Mau- fell through when the Iranians ob- jected. The technicians asked to be taken out by air, but the Bri- tish government told them to leave by launch. Simultaneously, today, about 350 Indian and Pakistani employes of Anglo - Iranian are due to leave from Khorramshahr, main Iranign port seven miles from Abadan.. About a score of Britons, includ- ing the two top men here, Alex Mason and Kenneth Ross, will re- main in Abadan until tomorrow, when they are expected to fly out. The evacuation was a sad and solemn affair. The evacuees privately said this was one of Britain's most humilia- ting moments. Iran now lays claim to oil riches which the country had granted to Britain under a royalty agreement which was to have lasted until 1993. - Today's departure was orderly, with only a few Iranian police and soldiers on the streets.

HEADACHE | FAST ASPIRIN in the balance of all considerations can scarcely be regretted, and yet it must be admitted that much that is gracious and beautiful and even very valuable to the nation is be- ing lost. CROWNING GLORY The old capital city of Edinburgh is. the crowning glory of Scotland. Each of the great cities of the world has some special character of its own' that distinguishes it from all the others. To say that Edinburgh is beautiful is true, but it is not the beauty of London or Faris or Geneva, 'Its most striking beauty is the natural grandeur of its location on and among its rocky hills. Three of these are monu- mental landmarks and they form a sort of triangle. To the west at the apex of the triangle is Castle Rock, the magnificent site of old Edinburgh Castle. To the north- east is Callon Hill with a cluster of monuments 'and public buildings including the Nelson Column, a tall slender turret, and the Observa- tory. To the southeast is a group of hills presenting to the city a great rocky front rising to a crown- ing eminence known as Arthur's Seat. Commencing at the north side of Castle Rock and extending for a mile to the east to a point about midway between Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat is the great open space of parks, gardens, public buildings and monuments, crossed here and there by a bridge, which gives a monumental dignity to the whole city .On the south side of this is the old city with the "Royal Mile" which is High Street, with an ex- tension at the Castle end called Lawnmarket and another at the east end called Canongate which runs directly into the grounds of Holyrood House, the ancient stone palace built by the Stuarts and still used occasionally ag a royal resi- dence. Westerly the Royal Mile leads into the area of the Castle and up the slope of the bare rick which forms its site. MUCH HISTORIC INTEREST Every foot of this mile is laden with historical interest. Its general character was established about eight centuries ago when the city first received its Royal Charter and the principal burghers were grant- ed holdings of land fronting on the High Street, upon which were built later through the centuries the sub- stantial stone homes with the inter- ior areas and courts known as "closes" and "wynds", Each of these in its day was a little fortress in itself capable, with its narrow door- ways and staircases, of being de- fended by one or two good men with broadswords. These little dom- ains still remain, most of them now converted into shops on the front and leading back in the rear through narrow passages and courts into a clutter of dwellings, many of them rather squalid in appearance Half way along the High Streei is the historical old St. Giles Church, and standing nearby the old Scot- tish Parliament Houses, now the Law Court. Marked only by a brass plate in the surface of the street is the grave of that great Scct, John Knox, On the north side of the great central space to which I have re- ferred and which at the Castle end is a grassy, tree dotted valley over- shadowed by the great mass of Cas- % -CROWN-DIAMOND- PRODUCTS ARE SOLD BYY McKenna Paint & Wallpaper, Oshawa, Ont. ® Harry Peleshock Store, Oshawa, Ont. ® Vivian BA Service, North Oshawa, Ont.
