"The odometer is accurate withe in a one-hundredth of a mile. SECOND SECTION | Streets Take Bad Beating From Frost With the spring thaw still bet- ter than a month away, Oshawa 4 p.m Saturday," said Hambly. "We had driven about 750 miles since leaving Toronto." Two Oshawa men, one no stranger to rallying, pulled into Routes Motors showroom, on streets are already showing signs of winter wear and tear. These signs vary in severity canyons that can wreck havoc with a car's suspension. The most heavily travelled streets have suffered most, with the most lightly travelled, sub- urban streets a close second. The freezethaw winter has formed tiny cracks in the surface of the paved main streets, and the traf- fic has done the rest. The little cracks became big cracks, and the big cracks developed pot- holes along their length, In other parts, on paved streets, ® symetrical, square ruts in the road mark the sites of summer- time excavations, where the pavement has been weakened. | The streets without the bene- fit of asphalt have had a rough winter, Frost has heaved the sur- | & Scarboro's Golden Mile about 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, winners of the British Empire Motor from surface cracks to small Club's eighth Canadian winter| rally, The drove a 1960 Riley. en in over 100 rallies and William Davidson, had only. 12 points de- ducted in 1300 miles of driving.

The car performed perfectly all the way, according to Ham- bly. One pint of oil was needed, beside this, only gas. The boys fuelled up on chocolate bars and cokes. Hamblyn, who navigated all but 30 of the 1300 miles, described their time-keeping equipment as worth over $400. "And it's not complete yet," he said. The navigator's seat had been moved back in the Riley so that a large clipboard with watches You could ride to Toronto and tell within two and one-half feet how far you had travelled." The 30-year old Hambly has been entering rallies for eight vears. He is an official of the MG Car Club of Toronto; he has organized many rallies and laid out about 25. He counts this as good exper« jence. This and being familiaf with some of the roads travelled during the week-end rally. (Drie ver Davidson has driven in six rallies with Hambly).

As a crook trying to think like a cop, he was a flop and got 18 months in jail. On Christmas Eve he de- cided to break into a clothing store on his old beat. He no policeman would suspect a man carrying a par- cel and a bunch of flowers. He stole a bunch of 30 chrys- clothing store and made up a parcel of shirts, handkerchiefs, slippers, neckties, mufflers and sweaters. As the burglar alarm went off, he strolled away with his parcel and his bunch of flowers, A police car passed him but the men inside took no notice. But when they searched the clothing store, they found a chrysanthemum petal. The clue led them to Williams. He was found guilty,at the Old Bailey of stealing clothing worth £56 ($148.52) and the tell-tale Entry In Festival Seventeen groups have entered plays for screening for the Cen- tral Ontario Drama League three- act play festival at Hart House March 28 to April 2. Festival director Frank Hoag said it is hoped that from these will come six, and possible sev- en, plays of festival calibre to justify a full week of perform- ances. If seven plays are ac- cepted there will be one matinee performance. Last year, when the festival was held in January and the groups had less time to prepare their productions, only four plays were accepted for the festival Decision on plays to be ac- cepted will be made Feb. 21 and screener Leonard Crainford will be watching plays up to and in- cluding the night of Feb. 20. The winner of this year's fes- tival automatically will represent the CODL at the Dominion Drama Pastival finals in Vancouver May 16-21. The large number of plays be- ing screened includer a record number from groups enter- ing festival competition for the first time an is representative of many parts of the region, in- cluding out-of-town centres such as Aurora, Orillia and Whitby. Last year's festival winners, the Richmond Hill Curtain Club, ag- ain are candidates for top honors with their entry of The Chalk Garden. Three Canadian plays are be- ing screened: Killdeer, by Un- iversitv Alumnae; Money Isn't Everything, by the Globe and Mail Players; and Sun in My Eyer, by the York Community Theatre Indifferent To In Name One way or another it doesn't make any difference to me." Sibbele Hoogsteen, of Cedar Valley Place, said: "I think that the name of the Royal family has to be the same as before. I don't think the name should be |changed." P. F. Kilburn, pf 139 Warren avenue, said: "I haven't given it any thought, however, I don't think it's a good idea." Mrs, Doris Nash, of 324 Stevens son north, said: "I think she should stick to the same name." Mrs. Ivan Skobel, of 21 Warren avenue, said that she had no opin- ion. on the subject. Peter Vanderwater, of 273 Pa. cific avenue, said: "It doesn't make much difference to me. It's up to her. I can see no historical objections." Margaret Rogan, -of 386 Hume wood avenue, said: '"'She's abso. lutely right. A woman should use the name of her husband, after all he had as much to do with pro- |ducing the children as she has," William J. B. Anderson, of RR 3, Bowmanville, said that the Royal children should be named Windsor, and that the Queen should not have changed the Royal name. Rirlines Captain And Family Killed PONTIAC, Mich. (CP)--An air lines captain on a private flight and three members of his family were killed Sunday when their single-engined Cessna 170 crashed en route to a Florida family re- union, The plane fell into a backyard about 10 miles northwest of here. It skidded into an adjoining yard before it burst into flames. Apparently no one saw or heard the crash. A family living only 150 feet from the crash site awakened to see the wreckage an estimated 1% hours after the crash occurred. Killed were Kenneth Conner, 26, a captain for North Central Airlines; George Conner, 49, his father; Lena Conner, 47, his mother, and Joseph Daly, his brother-in-law.
