CAR CATCHES FIRE BOWMANVILLE -- The Bow- manville Fire Department quickly extinguished a blaze in an empty car that rolled down a hill and rammed into a bridge last night. The car -- owned by Norman F. Eade of Orono -- was parked on Jackman road when it apparently slipped out of gear. The fire started be- tween the fire wall and front seat. Investigating officer was Cpl. K. Freeghy of the Bow- manville Police. 8 AMBULANCE CALLS The Oshawa Fire Depart ment reports there were eight ambulance calls from 8 a.m., Tuesday, until this morning. There were no fire calls over the night. Free Driver On Traffic Charge A charge against Karl Lang- of failing to yield the right of way was dismissed by Magis- trate F. S. Ebbs in Oshawa magistrate's court Tuesday. Constable C. A. Barton, of the Whitby detachment of the OPP, told the court Langbord was emerging from a driveway on to Greenwood avenue in Pickering Township June 27 and made a right turn to go south. His car then collided with a northbound car driven by Mrs. Audrey Corrie, of Pick- ering Township. The accident occurred about 25 feet south of the south line of the driveway and in the centre of the road slightly more to the side on which the ac- cused was travelling, the officer said. Mrs. Corrie said she had no chance to stop when the other car "shot out of the driveway" and came towards her. The next she knew she was lying on the floor of her car losing blood and unable to move. bord, 339 Walmer road, Toronto, |'" The regular-size Buick will styles -- four-door sedan; four- be available in three series -- door station wagon (two-and- Le Sabre, Invicta and Electra/three-seat versions); two-door 225.

Ronald R. Tucker, of Oshawa, said that on the late afternoon of Aug. 5, he and Michael Hickey had met McMullen at the corner of Bond and Simcoe streets. He said that McMullen invited them to his Simcoe street south home for a drink and they had agreed. ASKED RIDE The trio walked to Memorial Park, he said, and were waiting for a bus when McMullen waved at a passing car, which stopped. The driver of the car, he said, was Rodden. There was a pas- senger in the car, and they told him that the passenger was a bridegroom and the driver the best man. He said that the car was decorated for a wedding. He testified the car drove them to Dove's service station, Simcoe street south, directly across the street) from McMul- len's home. The three got out, and walked towards the curb on Simcoe street.
