Police HQ Lacks Space Need for more adequate police staff and accommodation in Pick- ering Township was demonstrated Sunday when Chief E. Lester Hi organized more than 400 volunteer searchers in the McDowell case in- to groups from his 21 by 16-foot office at Rosethorn. With only a staff of five officers, Chief Hill greeted with open arms the arrival of 20 Scarboro Town- ship officers to help direct the search. Two Scarboro constables remained in the office with the chief and Sgt. David Freeman while the others helped keep track of the 11 groups of searchers. About 12-square miles of Pick- ering Township were thoroughly combed without finding trace of |d missing Marion McDowell. Pickering Township has an area of 45 square miles. Only the south- ern one-third or "urbanized" sec- tion of the township is policed by Chief Hill and his five men. It has an estimated population of 11,000. In the rest of the township, there are about 3,000 people, served by provincial police. The small, rented concrete block "headquarters" has no runnin water nor sanitary conveniences. It is heated by a small coal stove. To Investigate New Subdivision According to last night's council agenda, George W. James, owner of Pleasure Valley Ranch and Wil- liam Gardener, who has purchas- ed a building lot from him, were supposed to address council but they failed to appear. Ald. R. D. Humphreys sought to, settle their problem anyhow, but upon discussion, it was found to more complex than appeared hibit ie Sd, orks an operty Committee will take up the issue. There is no plan of subdivision on the James property but he has been allowed to sell a few build- ing lots off the front.

Under the direction of A. Mec- Lachlan a sparkling program was presented by the children. Addi- tional feature 'of the entertainment was the singing of carols under the direction of Wilf Moncrief. Fol- lowing the program refreshments were served by the members of the Arvilla McGregor Auxiliary of Knox Church. The highlight of the evening was the arrival of Santa Claus who distributed gifts and bags of candy and fruit to each of the children. The stage on which Santa presided was decorated with an evergreen tree gaily decorated in keeping with the festive season. During the evening Rev. John Jacenty, minister of the church, conducted a short Bible lesson while Rev. S. B. Coles, minister of Knox Church closed the evening with prayer. Included in the program was a vocal duet by Karen Igel and Carol Tryon "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and a recitation by Rickey Ireland "A Shy Little Boy'. Miss Jacenty"s class presented a recita- tion, "A Poem Called the Star and a song, "Happy Birthday We Sing.

Nevertheless, the foot- ings were put in. At the present time, construction work has now ceased, on orders of the city en- gineer. "How did the house get started without a permit?" queried Mayor John Nylor. Owner Seeking Septic Tank Permit Owner of a small lot at 1202 Somerville Avenue, Stanley J. Fice bought it before it was incorporat- ed into the city and before ely sanitary regulations applied. Fi- nancially able to instal sanitary facilities, today he "would sure like to have a bathroom for my family." The area of his lot is 4,800 feet while regulations demand 7,500 square feet for installation of a septic tank. It is a corner lot and the land is said to be gravelly, factors which may assist Mr. Fice i thiaining a permit for a septic nk. "This might well be a lot where an exception could be made," said Ald. Herbert Robinson. "We cannot grant a permit but we could make a recommendation to the Medical Health Offcer," said Ald. Joseph Victor. The General Pu will investigate an se Committee report.

Sentence was re- served for one week. He was apprehended after a chase through the Canadian Na- tional Railway yards at 10.30 p.m. Sergeant Ernie Barker fired one warning shot after telling the man three times to stop. Loyst fell to the ground when he heard he shot and was caught and handcuffed. He had several packets of cigars and cigarettes and $5 in silver in his possession. Entry 'to the store was gained by smashing a plate glass window in the front oor. In court the accused said he was visiting his brothers on Bloor Street and became drunk on wine. He was fuzzy about the details of the break- in and did not know exactly where he was when picked up. He asked for leniency because of his wife and two children at Camp Borden. Since seven Monday morning he was AWOL from camp. It is his first offense apart from being drunk du his nine years in the three armed services. Jilted By Girl Enters Store In police court here, on Monday morning, John Milne, 19, 48 Albert Street, was convicted of breaking into the Claralee Florist Shop, Al- bert Street, on Sunday morning. He was remanded in custody until Wednesday for sentence. He was arrested in the shop basement at 4 a.m., Sunday, by po- the shop was being entered. According to Con- stable William Cairney, Milne was very drunk. Nothing in the store was disturbed. Entry was gained by smash a small pane in a rear door window. Milne's elder brother told the court that they went to a party on Saturday evening. John Milne be- came so drunk that his girl friend gave him back his ring. Milne returned home, according brother, changed to old clothing and went out again. He was arrested a few minutes later in the florist shop. Crown Counsel Alex. Hall, QC, felt inclined to believe the broth- er's testimony. He advised sus- pended sentence. Commented Magistrate F. S. Ebbs: "Young men are inclined to do strange. things when turned down by a girl." OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gasette and Chronicle ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 292 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1953° PAGE THREE A plea for a sympathetic ap- proach to the problems confronting 'the rising nations of Asia was voic- ed by .Rev. Reginald M. Bennett, field secretary for the Canadian Baptist Mission in India, at the luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa on Monday. Not minimizing the treat of com- munism, the speaker voiced the be- lief that the emergence of new na- tions in south east Asia in the last 10 years posed a far greater prob- lem: for the western world. India, a nation of 800 million penple, is growing at the rate of five million a year. Today five Asiatic nations are refusing to be drawn into the orbit of either Russia or the free nations of the western world. This was not Jurprising when one con- sidered the record of the western nations during the last 250 years. REVOLUTION OF IDEALS Mr. Bennett explained that a rev- olution of ideals is taking place im the far east. The east is convinced that the danger to world peace does not lie with the Soviet but rather in the history of the west which has fought two great wars among themselves. For that reason the east is not particularly sympa- thetic to our point of view on some world matters. Over the years the west has meant exploitation to the east and it will take generations to live down our assumed racial superior- ity: Mr. Bennett also emphasized that our way of thinking militates against us. Another factor is that millions in these Asiatic countries are faced with abject provety. Pov- erty in itself is the danger around which world peace revolves. As the Asiatic sees it vast wealth in the hands of a few is not right when the majority of the people in the world live even below our mini- mum standards. While not offering any solution of Ask Sympathetic Approach For Asia .| gave them self government as well the problem, the speaker urged that the matter be given careful thought. He believed a solution will be found but not for some time. BRITAIN ESTEEMED Britain, it was stressed, is held in high esteem in India for she material assets. Canada also is held in high regard by eastern peo- ples. Mr. Bennett commented that the east is essentially anti-imperialis- tic. That is the domination of one country by another either mate- rialistically or economically. Asia is also very touchy on the matter of being permitted to handle her own affairs and was angered by Yalta Pact which bartered off lands and people without their con- sent. Racial pride is also to the fire in the east. The point of view of these people is far different from ours in this matter. REVOLUTION IN ASIA 'The revolution going on in south east Asia is against circum- stances as well as against poverty and 'racial prejudice," Mr. Bennett continued. The key to future pro- gress in India lies within itself. She is today the key to the situ- ation. In Asia what India says and does is much more important than what the western nations do- Asian affairs have been strengthened by the strong type of leadership being given by Indians. Declaring that India is on the move, majority attending Indian colleges and universities lack religious background. Communism is active and has adopted the idea of being a religion among the people. It is working tooth and nail to appeal to the people on the grounds of ideals. So far it has produced nothing nothing more concrete than prom- ises. Hit By Auto Child Unhurt Three slight traffic accidents were reported to Oshawa police Saturday. Struck by a car at Richmond and Mary Streets, Saturday afternoon, Barbara King, 8, 163 Brock Street East, was unhurt. Driver of the car, Harold Bezansen, 81 Hancock Road, said that he struck the girl with the right front corner of his bumper as he turned from Mary to Richmond Street. She was cross- ing Richmond Street. Idzi Czekaj, 23, 237 Graburn Av- enue, and Lloyd Annis, 36, 301 Al- rt Street, were drivers of cars that collided Saturday even on Simcoe Street North in front of No. 17. Slight damage was done to the rear of Czekaj's car and to the front of Annis' car.

Sewers Ask City Council Why Petitions Were Ignored A heavy barrage of logic mingled with accusations was thrown at Oshawa aldermen last night as irate resi- dents of Elgin Street West (a short street running off Park Road North) came as a deputation to ask why their petitions for sewers have been ignored. Clarence O'Con- nor was spokesman and the group had the moral support of Oshawa and District Labor Council. At the end of the di the appellants were told that they may get storm sewers by next fall and that the Board of Works will make an early survey to see what can be done in that area. WELL WATER POLLUTED "We want storm sewers and wat- er on that street," began the spokesman. "We were told two years ago these would be provid- ed. But the situation is so grim now that we do not care to wait any longer. The well water is so bad we don't know what we are drinking any more. In the spring, so much surface water rolls into the cellars that we have a terrific job baling. We presented a peti- tion to council three years ago and were told at that time by Mr. Powers, that our area would be looked after in two or three weeks. Later, we were told it would take three years. So we waited for three years. Now we are being told it will be two more years." 2 : Continuing: "The drainage is so bad that our Jardens stay wet in the spring and we can boast the atest crop of thistles and weeds in the city. In short, we feel that our petitions are not getting a roper hearing. Ald. Murdoch has wi very familiar with the situa- tion on that street but has not leant a sympathetic ear." Mr. O'Connor asked that a dele- gation of council come up to their street and survey the situation. LIKE SALT IN THE WOUND "It is like putting salt in the wound to find that Anderson Av- enue to the south of us got sewer and water a year ago, while there are fewer dwellings on that," Mr. O'Connor said. "We don't expect miracles but we would like to see some action in the spring." Ald. Powers: "At no time since annexation, did I assure residents on Elgin West that they would get sanitary sewers. Although we are not certain, it now seems pos- sible it can be done by next fall. I have never heard of any un- favorable tests of wells in that area. As to the water line, per- haps the PUC will be agreeable to put a line up there." Mr. O'Connor: "We don't mind waiting a 'year or two for sewers but the surface drainage is the big problem up there. i Ald. Powers promised to investi- gate and report to council. Ending the debate, Ald. Hay- ward Murdoch refuted the sugges- tion that he has ever been un- sympathetic to the situation under discussion. "That was an unfortunate utter- ance," said Mr. Murdoch.
