R, Moraad Monday sentenced an Oshawa youth to two weeks in the On- tario County Jail, fined him $100 and suspended his licence for a period of three years, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving. Raymond Ross Essery, 16, of 293 Pacific avenue, pleaded guilty to the charge. He had been charged originally with criminal negligence causing death, The charge resulted from an accident on Mill street, Oshawa, last Oct. 20, in which Charles Denzil Robertson, 20, of 471 Sim- coe street south, drowned after the car in which he was a pas- his bloodstream at 12.24 a.m.,- when the accident occurred. ~ Defeace Counsel Terence Vy. Kelly called three witnesses to' testify to the character of the accused, 5 The boy's father, Howard D. Essery, told the court his son was a twin and has been in a- nervous condition ever since the' accident, He said his son 'was, indeed sorry" about what hap-» pened and he has never had aay! previous. trouble with the boy» and never before the acicdent. did his son ever come into the. house under the influence of alcohol. m Witness John Hurst, who opers* i ates a general store in the ac-. senger crashed into Oshawalcused's neighborhood said the: Creek, reputation of the boy and his.

Prior to this victory, Dunlops had participated in eight games without success, except for a 6-6 stalemate with Oshawa Generals December 23. Even though their chances of securing a play- off berth are slim, Whitby Dunlops apparently have not written themselves into.the record books as also- rans. Sunday's win was their most significant of their four 'two-pointeds this season, in that they accom- plished it with a tremendous third-period rally. In past performances, that final 20 minute seg- ment has proved disastrous. On Friday night, when it seemed likely that Dunlops would win their first game from Oshawa this season in Whitby as they held a 6-5 edge, early in the third, Generals then tightened defences, and went on to capture the verdict. But Sunday's story was entirely different. Bill Collins and company romped to the decision with fiye goals to Knob Hill's single counter in the final frame. The reunion of team captain Bill Smith and one of the league's better centres, Bill Collins, was re- sponsible for Whitby's Sunday victory. Collins, sidelined for nearly two months, appears to be hitting his stride with great individual perform- ances on Friday, and again Sunday. He was a standout in defeat Friday with three goals and one assist, while Sunday he scored once and assisted on another pair. Smith also has ,improv- ed with the return of his familiar sidekick Collins. Friday he fired a goal, and drew two assists, and Sunday, paced Dunlops with a pair of markers and a like number of assists. Bob Everett, Whitby minor graduate moved in alongside Smith and Collins in the right wing posi- tion, and kept pace with the two veterans by scoring two goals and was responsible for setting up Collins with Whitby's second goal early in the third frame. BRAMPTON HERE TONIGHT While aiding their own cause with the victory over fourth-place Knob Hillers, Dunlops also increas- ed Oshawo's faint hopes of a playoff berth. Another club which stands in Whitby's way at the moment is Brampton Seven-Ups, in town tonight for an encounter at the Community Arena at 8:30 p.m. OSHAWA SKI CLUB ARRANGES BUS TRIPS TOWN AND COUNTRY .. .

Schomberg is the club that Bowmanville must dislodge from the fourth and final play-off berth. A couple of victories instead of the losses would have aided considerably . . . Osh- awa Ski Club has a tremendous program for enthusi- asts of all ages at Kirby. The club's executive has made arrangements with DeNure Bus Lines from Port Perry for special trips on Saturdays and Sundays for youngsters. On Saturday's a bus leaves at 9:20 a.m. from Memorial Park in Oshawa, and moving up north on Simcoe street, stops at approximately 9:30 at Dr. Phillips Public School. It returns from the Ski Club at 12:30 p.m. On Sunday, a bus trip for Juniors only departs from the same locations at 11:00 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. respectively, returning around 4 p.m, Anyone wishing information on these bus trips, or other club activities may do so by dialing Oshawa, 728-3471, any time of the day or night.

Deputy-reeve George Brooks said there was no point in draw- jing up laws\that did not have any teeth in them. He argued it would be easy enough to make laws up but not so easy to en- force them.

Are we to be herded about like sheep? Are intelligent people to be treated like that?" Councillor Newman said the Code only gave guidlines of con- duct and that it was only a local source which. did not super- cede the Act. He added there was a clear need for it be- cause of lack of definition in the Act, Councillor Coath moved that the bylaw be referred back to the bylaws and _ applications committee.

Mr. Justice Morand told the accused the accident resulted in' the death of one of his friends and pointed out at his age he should not be drinking and cer- tainly not more than a couple of drinks. "Youth," His Lordship said, "must remember it is they who must make the decision when it comes to taking a drink."
