Also claiming damages is the driver of the car, William O. Steer, also of Toronto. The case is being heard before Mr, Justice Ferguson and a jury. David J. Walker is counsel for both plaintiffs. The trial continues Steer, driving from Peterborough to Toronto along the four-lane high- way, tried to pass the truck. He said he sounded-his horn twice and, when he was 'right on top of the truck," it suddenly swerved in front of him and he crashed into it. Both Steer and Miss Munn were | collision. | Miss Munn, according to medical testimony, suffered a neck injury, a misplaced cervical disc. Because of it, she sald, she could not raise her head high without assistance and her neck and back troubled her whenever she a shampoo. Also, her legs were cut. Steer, thrown against the steering wheel, received chest and knee in- juries. The court was told that one rib is still disjointed from his breast bone, and a torn knee liga- ment may cause him trouble indefi- nitely. Miss Munn received $3,000 in scholarships from the Miss Canada pageant at Maple Leaf Gardens here in 1949, and another - $1,000 scholarship from the Miss America pageant. She won the Miss North America title at a World's Fair in Peru. Meyer Case (Continued from Page 1) across Meyer on temporary parole in his mother's home in Offleben, Germany. Meyer, serving a life sentence for war crimes arising from the death of 19 Canadian soldiers held prisoner in the Second World War, was transferred some weeks ago from New Brunswick's Dorchester penitentiary to a British prison in West Germany. Mr. Drew protested that there should be no '"'easy'" punishment for a man responsible for the death of Canadian troops He won support from George Cruickshank (L--Fraser Valley), | who protested, as a veteran of the First World War, against 'this rat" being permitted to go home for a week-end when Canadian mothers mourned their murdered sons. Ralph Campney, parliamentary | assistant to Defence Minister Clax- |ton, said Meyer remains under the control of the Canadian govern- { ment so far as his sentence or per- | manent release is concerned. The | department" is inquiring into the rules governing the prison. Raising the issue on a question of privilege, Mr, Drew noted that Meyer was quoted as saying he had been released under a rule whereby prisoners are permitted to visit their homes from time to time. The question now arose, . Drew suggested, as to whether the Canadian government has given authority to Meyer to vist his home at regular intervals in this way. Mr. Campney noted that the Na- tional Defence Act sets out that prisoners undergoing punishment within its provisions shall be dealt with in the same manner as other inmates in their place of imprison- | ment. | The department had made in- {quiries as to the rules at Werl prison in Germany, where Meyer {now is being detained, and would | issue the information as soon as it was obtained. Mr. Drew said the circum- "very harrowing' to many Cana- dian families. He was either guilty or he was not guilty. There should be "no intermediate stage." He. expressed surprise that the government had sent Meyer to a prison whose rules it did not know. | Mr. Cruickshank said that if {Meyer was found guilty "of murder- ing Canadians, then by no stretch of the imagination, so far as I am concerned, should he be per- mitted to spend a week-end visiting his wife, anybody else's wife, or anyone else." Julian Ferguson (PC -- Simcoe North), who also served overseas |in the First World War, said that {young Canadians had been taken | prisoner '"'and murdered by a man who was given a sentence that the people of Canada did not believe was quite good enough." "It is a crime and it is a slur that our government would this to happen." - NATO Army (Continued from Page 1) but that nothing concrete emerged from the meeting. 3.

Gibson can be very proud of his handiwork as a Poultry Processor. A box of fowl (1 dozen) killed, dressed and pack- ed by J. J. not only won {first place in the fowl class at the Roy- al Winter Fair but were placed as Reserve Grand Champion of all poultry in the show. This class in- cludes all turkeys, geese, capons and all other classes of poultry in the show. For a show of this kind all fowl were pequired to be frozen in a box package. To win honours of this kind de- serves a lot 'of credit. It requires very careful work in the killing, the dressing and the packing. Each step in the preparation has to be carried out with extreme care to preserve the fine finish and good bloom. This selection of 12 birds was made from a pen of fowl from the poultry plant of Ron Peel. These birds are a sample of the new strain developed by Ron and known 8s MT. Fast Feather Barred Roc This new strain of Barred Rocks has been developed from Peel orig- inal Fast Feather Barred Rocks and has been bred and selected not only to retain the high production factors, but also ideal meat quality and heavy fleshing. Before the show J. J. was known to comment by saying, "Well this year I will learn a few points in this. show business. Maybe next year I'll have a chance to win." After the show Ron Peel's com- ment was, "To have stock win at the Royal is an honour I never dared dream of, and to have a box of our fowl placed as Reserve Grand Champion--well I have been more than repaid for my effort in developing this new M. T. Fast Feather Stock." Cease Fire (Continued from Page 1) proposing that each side begin compiling necessary data now on the exchange of prisoners. The Reds made no reply and the truce teams plunged into the problem of supervising the armi- stice. The U.N. plan provides: 1. A cease-fire effective within 24 hours after an armistice is 'signed. 2, A supervisory organization with an equal number of Allies and Reds to carry out armistice terms. 3. No increase in military forces, equipment, supplies or fac- ilities. 4. The armistice commission and its joint observation teams "shall have free access to all parts of Korea." 5. Air, naval and ground forces --including irregulars -- to with- draw from enemy territory. 6. Armed forces will stay out of the buffer zone. 7. The military commander of each side shall administer his half of the 2%-mile-wide buffer zone. The Communist plan had no pro- 'spection teams or a guarantee against a military build-up. The Red plan proposed: 1. armistice is signed. from the demilitarized zone within three days after the signing. 3.

She was sure, that there was enough money in the city. The other alternative was to ac- cept none of the three bids made but to hold off for a while in the hope that the government would ease up on its security regulations and therefore make money a little easier to get. A third alternative to acceptance was to instruct one of the bond houses to explore the United States money market. This could be done, at some expense, and it had been the recourse of some other muni- ks. L cipalities but its success depended {largely 'on how well the city 'was | known in the United Stntes. LENGTHY DISCUSSION After discussion which lasted fox { about. two hours and ranged over | | every conceivable possibility it was decided 'to - accept the inevitable and turn the issué over to Graham and Company for disposal. The $1,319,381 total was made up of issues to be used for six differ- ent purposes. The amount of $63,863, carrying interest at four per cent, was for sidewalks and pavements; $290,586 with interest at four per cent, for sewers and pavements; ' $194,000 at four per cent for a public school addition; $74,431 at four per cent for water mains; $466,500 at four and a quar- ter per cent, for extensions to the | waterworks system and $230,000 {a four and a quarter per cent for a police building. ' | This is the first time in the | history of the city that financial | houses have ever taken options on {Oshawa securities. It was pointed out that the reason they were doing 50 was to protect themselves in the event of another sharp depres- sion in the money market. It is, by the same token, the first time in many, many years when the City of Oshawa, which ordinarily has a very high credit rating, has had to pay so much for its money. The difference between the offer which 'might have been expected prior to November 15 and those received last night meant, on an {issue of that size, about $80,000 to the city. | Had the necessary construction by-laws been passed at an earlier date and the approval of the On- | tario Municipal Board been earlier received it would have been pos- sible to put this bond issue on the market at an earlier date -- pos- sibly well before November 15. This would have meant that the city might have expected to re- ceive what it usually did $97 or $98 for each $100 bond.

DAFOE PREDICTS EASING | Alderman Finley Dafoe, Chair- {man of the Finance Committee, | thought there was going fo be an easing up of credit restrictions. The Dominion government was be- ing forced to do so. If it did not the municipality was faced with a loss on its d issues -- so great to drastically curtail the expansion program planned. Alderman Harry Benson did not share Mr. Dafoe's hope that there would be any easing of restrictions. This measure was anti-flationary, he thought, and whether it was good or not the government was going to hold to it. It was quite possible, on the other hand, that credit might become even tighter, With this issue sold the city's total debenture debt at the end of | Mayor Michael Starr pointed out -- | about $80 per capita.

Decision In Entry Case Is Reserved Iu Whitby police court this morning, Magistrate Frank 8. Ebbs reserved decision in the oase of two Toronto men charged with breaking and entering a Rouge Hills home on October 18. The men, George Sampson, 332 Wellesley Street, Toronto, and Robert Mec- Connell, 277 Sackville Avenue, To- ronto, both pleaded not guilty to the charge. Another man, Willlam Grant, charged jointly with the two, was said to be in hospital at Toronto, and = unable to faced charges, : Evidence adduced by Crown At- torney Alex C. Hall, K.C, showed that a considerable 'amount of fur- niture had been removed from the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Smith on Ridgewood Road, Rouge Hills, and piled on the lawn, but thatthe thieves had been frightened off before they "could make their getaway with the lot. Entry had evidently been made by breaking in the front door. The evidence that connected the three accused with the case was given by Raymond Nicholson, a Rouge Hills resident, who said he saw a large truck, belonging to the | Perma-stone Company of 'Toronto, parked in the ravine velow the Smith house. He sald there were three men in it, but he couldn't identify anyone in court as one of them. P.C. Dan Dand of Pickering, who was also driving along the Bottom Road that night, about 7.30, told the court he saw a man walking down toward the truck from the Smith house. Thinking it curious, he took the man to the station and questioned him, and when answers seemed satisfactory, let him go. The man was Grant, the absentee of the three accused. Later, sald the constable, Grant had put the truck in a ditch, and the vehicle had to be taken to a 'Whitby garage for repairs. While it was there Sergeant White had Savings Depcceits, Profits, Surplus 'Commerce' Up Satisfactory operations during the past year are reflected in the general statement published today by the Canadian Bank of Com- merce, which contains the balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31. Net profits at $4,023,145 were slightly higher than for the pre- vious year after providing $3,005, 000, nearly $1,000,000 more than in 1950, for Government of Canada taxes and $1,350,194 for deprecia- tion on bank premises. Dividends to shareholders totalled $3,000,000, and $1,023,145 was car- ried forward to the profit and loss account. The balance in this ac- count now stands at $5,743,415. Cash amounting to $167 million represented 10.04 per cent of total liabilities to the public. The cor- responding ratio a year ago was 9.53 per cent. ' Quick assets were $1,009 million and comprised cash, cheques and bank balances totalling $291 wmil- lion, and securities and call loans $718 million. These are 60 per cent of tota liabilities to the public amounting to $1,668 million. Current loans and discounts in Canada increased $93 million, from $494 million at the end of October, 1950, to $587 million in the state- ment issued today. Total deposits amounted to $1, 615 million. Deposits by the Gov- ernment of Canada and provincial governments were $68 million as compared with $78 million last year, a reduction of about $10 mil- lion. Government of Canada and pro- vincial government securities in the bank's portfolio totalled $538 million as against $675 million last year. Call and short loans were $32 million this year' compared with $36 million last year. Over-all Plan (Continued from Page 1) sald last night.

It meant, the fin-[ a loss that it would be necessary. | These were exhibited in court by Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall, who had Mrs. Smith identify them as two ashtrays that were missing {from the house after the break-in. Among other witnesses was Prof- essor Jocelyn Rogers, head of the try at the University of Toronto, who identified substances adher- ing to the glass pieces as identical with the Perma-Stone that was re gularly carried in the truck driven by the three accused. Mr. Riley, president of Perma- Stone of Ontario Limited, identi- fied the two accused as employees of his company, and said that, as far as he knew, they had not been in to work the day after the break- in, Both men denied this, saying they had come in at the usual time, 7 am. Sampson, on the stand, told a story of having to go back to Pick- ering to secure a tarpaulin they had left on a previous job. He said that he and his two compan- ions had picked up a bottle of wine and six bottles of beer en route, and were polishing these off, when they had been observed by the first witness, Nicholson, Both Grant and MacConnell had become drunk he said, and quarrelled as to who was going to drive. When Grant put the truck in the ditch, Sampson said, he left the other two and hitch-hiked to Toronto, Sampson asked the court to dis- miss the charges, because, as he prove they were in the house at Mr. Hall summed up the case by pointing out that the three ac- ed by the first witness, that the ash trays exhibited in court were from the Smith home, and had no right to be there. But he would not ask for conviction on suspicion alone. He did, however, read to the court Sampson's rec- ord, which included two convic- tions on similar charges, LOSES JUICE Wellington, N.Z.

The two which should be begun at once were in the College Hill and Taylor Avenue areas (off Wil- son Road South). A number of years ago there had been a suggestion that some ob- solete school accomodation a such as that in Albert and Mary Street Schools, be abandoned. This idea, in view of present urgencies, had been forgotten. Another factor was that the provincial grants to school in the annexed areas had been cut from thirty-five to twenty-three per cent. Some technical discussion about ways and means of getting increas- ed government grants for these formerly rural schools followed and a resolution was finally pass- ed asking that if the Board of Educ- ation was sending a deputation to the provincial government for that purpose it include Mayor Michael Starr and Alderman William Noble among its number. The Board of Education sum- mary, presentedy at the Friday pd Cy gave the number of pupils enrolled in Oshawa public schools as 4,650. The number o pre-school age children was esti- mated at 4,332, the number of classrooms in use, 125, the number under construction, 5 and the num- ber to be abandoned, 8. It was as follows: 1951, 4650 pupils; 5,146; 1954, 5,- 646; 1955, 6,148; 1956, 6,605.

Icy roads and falling snow caused the pile-ups between 8.30 and 10.30 a.m. Constable E. Barker was on the spot for one of them. The constable was called out to the junction of Mill and Oxford Streets after William A, McQuaid, 290 Pacific Avenue, skidded in 4 Canadian Pacific Express truck and hit a telephone pole, snapping the pole off. " Five minutes later Mauric Blouin 615 Montraye Avenue, came along in his car, skidded at the same spot and slid into a fire hydrant. The base of the hydrant was cracked. . Earliest of the accidents in the snow involved a private car and a Oshawa Railway Company bus. Driver of the car was Viola J. Parrott, 135 King Street, Port Hope, and the bus was being driven by Allan W. Robinson, 417 St. Julien Street. Driving on Mary Miss Parrott applied her brakes, skidded on the ice and collided with the bus at the junction with William Street. Damage to her car was estimated at $200. 4 A lucky escape from a Jury was experienced by rt A. Holmes, 7 Fifth Street, Belle~ ville. He was driving on Kingston Road East when he slid off the icy road into the ditch. His car turned over on to its right side. Conrad B.
