AJAX & DISTRICT NEWS John Mills, Representative --< Phone Ajax 426 Don Hunt Successful As Times-Gazette Carrier DON HUNT AJAX -- The accompanying | photograph shows Don Hunt "ace" carrier salesman for the Times- Gazette in Ajax. Don is a newspaper publisher's ideal of a carrier salesman. Bright well mannered, prompt with his deliveries, is conscientious in see- ing that all his customers get their paper every evening, makes his DE ns regularly and pays his bills promptly and is ever on the alert for new customers. In recent weeks Don has increas- ed his route from 67 customers to almost 100. In one day he brought in eight new starts. In apprecia- tion of Dons efforts the Times- Gazette have first awarded Don a handsome wrist watch and as a further award, he is now the proud owner of a handsome baseball The Times-Gazette keenly ap- Jiseine Dons earnest efforts for per. pa; The carrier. salesman is the last link between all the departments which have had a hand in produc- ing the newspaper and the custom- er whom the' publishers seek to satisfy. If he fails to do his job right the work of all the others is undone. Don is receiving excellent train- ing in salesmanship, meeting peo- ple and conducting his own financi- al affairs. His customers can help him materially by paying prompt- ly. each week when he calls. Remember every carrier sales- man buys his papers and resells to the customer. If they fail to pay, the boy is out that much. In Ajax, the circulation has in- creased to the extent that six car- riers are required to do the work that was originally done by one. Oher routes will of the Times-Gazette is always on the look out for: intelligent boys and girls who would like to become carrier salesman. Fire In Slag Soon Controlled AJAX (Times - Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- The fire department re- outside a building on Line 3, burst into flames. Reflection of the flames on nearby buildings made the fire look much more dangerous than 3 yas. The fire was quickly sub- ued. The building is leased by the Dowty Equipment Company (Can- ads) am is used for melting scrap metal. Strike To Delay School Opening AJAX ((Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- The recent truck strike in the Hamilton area caused some delay in delivery of materials to the contractors working on the addition to the North Junior School and despite every effort to catch up this addition will not be com- Dleted by school opening date, ptember 8. The delay which will not extend for any lengthy period, will for the time being, necessitate stag- gering some dergarten classes. Robert Pattison, supervising principal, is currently engaged in working out a time schedule which will bridge the difficulty. Mr. Pattison also wishes to noti- fy parents regarding registration of kindergarten pupils. Those pupils who were registered before school closed last June will not need to re-register or attend school on opening day, September 8. These children will be notified when to attend at a later date. Kindergarten pupils {hat 2 Lg dren, five years of age , who have not been registered to date, will be registered on Sep- tember 8 at 9.30 a.m., in the Jun- jor School in their respective lo- calities. . Mr. Pattison also requests par- ents to note that this year, all pupils up to Grade 6 will attend the Junior School in their own area. Last year it was necessary to do some transfer of pupils due to lack of classroom accommodation. This inconvenience will be com- pletely removed for the younger children this year. Full particulars regarding any other changes will be made public as soon as the final plans regard- ing school opening are complete. Ajax Dogs Under Control AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- Complaints regarding dogs have petered out complete- ly since the appointment of a dog control officer and setting up of a dog pound. One person, in particular, who is very happy about the abatement of this nuisance, is Harry Arnold, who farms a large area north of Ajax. Hitherto, packs of dogs had roamed his fields, and made it necessary to have a man guard his sheep, armed with a shot gun. This summer it is rare to see a dog running in his fields. Six Stitches To Close Cut AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- e hanging out the family wash, Mrs. Lynn Williams, Mary Street, was surprised to see her 3%-year-old son, Billy coming round the house with blood stream- ing from a bad cut on his left n up and |hand nd. Unable to find out from Billy what had happened, Mrs. Williams took him to Oshawa Hospital, where it took six stitches to close the gap between his thumb and his hand. Coming back home he at last showed his parents what had caused the trouble. Apparently the new washing machine was very intriguing, and he tried putting a dish towel through the wringer. His struggle to release his hand touched the fingertip release bar, or it may have been much more serious. In addition to his cut Start New Lighting Soon AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- Work on the new street lighting for the new area of Ajax will start in a few days, Jack Sanders, local manager, inform- ed The Times-Gazette today. This area would have been in complete darkness this past three years if householders had not very generously left their porch lights burning. The task of completing the in- stallation of the new lights will be finished by November, in the meantime it is hoped that as many porch lights will left on as pos- sible to avoid completely dark streets as the days shorten. Mr. Sanders estimated today that a 25-watt bulb burning four hours per evening would cost only 12 cents each month. Your light may make some youngster happier returning home after dark from Guide or Scouts. Warm Woodland Of Fire Hazard. AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- Youngsters playing with matches were blamed for a second fire in the woodland on Cedar Street on Tuesday afternoon. Fire Chief Winters said today, a fire in the area could be bad with the current heat wave and the dry material at hand ready to burn. The fire brigade had today's blaze under control in short time but parents are urged to keep matches away from their young- sters, the hazard is great. hand he has several brush burns between his hands and his elbow.

Every Friday Evening Till 9 p.m. BOWMANVILLE AND DISTRICT Representative--Donald Hend), 77 Ontario St., Phone 881 Accused's Sales Talk Not 'WMANVILL 25, commercial traveller from To- ronto, Harry R. Deyman, Crown Attorney and R. B. Baxter, Mag- istrate, enacted in police court yes- terday what might well have been a scene from 'Death of a Sales- man". Mr. Katz appeared to answer charges of careless driving arising from his academy award perfor- mance some time ago while he travelled eastward in a heavy |30 line of traffic being slowed down to pass the scene of an accident. Mr. Katz chose to ignore the procession, however, and with a sudden burst of dramatic intensity pulled sharply out of line and romped gaily by the scene of car- nage, thereby causing the officer directing traffic to retreat back- ward in some haste. The nonplussed constable never- theless rebounded quickly back from this breach of etiquette and recovered sufficiently to note the license number, and estimate Katz's speed at 50 miles per hour before the vehicle sped away. The result of this overture was that Mr. Katz was promptly casted for his part in the play by receiv- ing a summons to appear in court on August 25. The arresting officer, however, was on strike duty in the Hamil- ton area, and Mr. Katz's first at- tempt at histrionics was reduced to a dress rehearsal. The opening night was yesterday. The week of adournment sharp- ened Mr. Katz's wit considerably and he gave a smoothly deliver- ed monologue concerning his ver- sion of the incident, which was promptly picked to pieces by Mr. Deyman's deadly technique. Percy Katz's harried efforts to confound the arresting officer and sway Magistrate Baxter were cer- Success tainly worthy of the finest merits the profession of salesmanship could offer, but the motorist"s attempts to present the play as having an excusable plot were cer- tainly ill-advised. The crown methodically proved that Mr. Katz could easily have seen the cause of the slowing down, since the accident included a trailer which was jacknifed on the side of the road, and over people were bled in the area in addition to lines of cars travelling in both directions. Katz then repeated his request fo a dismissal stating that he had | caused injury to no one, and had struck no other car. Magistrate Baxter was qui ck to assert, 'The fact that no in- jury occurred does not justify such an act of carelessness, so I am fining you $50 plus costs." At this point Kata again rose and resumed his tireless tirade, much to the magistrate's disap- proval. Said Magistrate Baxter, "Over |75 per cent of the accidents that {occur on highways today are caus- |ed by people such as you who are impatient, careless, and in- 0 b Cx & by Ac a, 'o Yo ou RINARY JRA lAnpig p15¢ H gl tL anp TIRE AT Tale Of Mower Is Intriguing BOWMANVILLE -- Harold Ra- bey, 39, had a strange tale to tell in court yesterday morning. It con- cerned the theft of a lawn mower valued at $29. It seems that Rabey had been enjoying a few ales with his friends and during the course of the even- considerate' to the point of rude- ness. I suggest that you have jus- tified this remark." Katz then asked for time in which to secure the money for the fine. "I have the privilege to decide when this sort of request shall be granted," continued Mr. Baxter, "and this is definitely not one of those times. The fine is $50 or in default, 30 days in jail." Mr. Katz paid his fine. Wednesday, September 2, 1958 B ing his wallet was either lost, mis- placed, or stolen. Noticing that he was bereft of his bundle, Rabey jumped in his car and proceeded to Orono, where he wandered about in a yard, found the lawn mower in question, and returned home. : Mr. Rabey told the court he had thought at the time that he had taken the machine as a form of repayment for his mising wallet. The lawnmower belonged to am Orono clergyman. - Magistrate Baxter saw fit to sus- pend sentence in the case, since Mr. Rabey had a clear record, and his motives were far more hasty than vindictive. POLIO FATALITY HAMILTON (CP) --- The first Hamilton poliomyelitis fatality this year was reported by health offi- cials Tuesday. Report of the death was delayed for 24 hours pending medical inquiries as to the compli- cations that resulted in death. There have been two non-resident deaths.
