As a result, they have lodged a strong complaint with their member of parliament, Michael Starr, who in turn has raised the question in the House of Commons. Transport Minister Pickersgill has agreed to con- sider amending the Railway Act to overcome the problem. The matter arose after Mr. Starr received a letter of com- plaint from an Arthur Street res- ident who said that since the railway has changed from elec- tric to diesel shunters, the nvise the trains make with their whistles is appalling and parti- cularly annoying to those liv- ing on Bruce street, Ritson road and vicinity.

Mr. Starr says he has taken |the problem up with the Board of Transport Commissioners and One would be for the Oshawa} City Council to pass a bylaw} prohibiting such whistling.

It now requires engineers to blow their whistles within 80 rods of E. R. Lovekin of Bowmanville, a professor of law and well- known also as an editor and manager of several law publi- cations as well as an author of some books on the subject, was guest speaker at this week's meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, - The speaker was introduced by Kiwanian Don Storie, who briefly reviewed Mr. Lovekin's career in law and outlined his activities in the legal practice as well as in writing and editing topics of law and legal proce- dure. At the conclusion of his talk, Kiwanian Bill Henry ex- pressed a vote of appreciation, on behalf of the members. The speaker, who spoke on the topic "Modern Trends in the Law," brought to the meeting his opinions, as one member of the legal profession. At the out- set he explained the accepted definitions which describe the differences between a lawyer, a Would Extend -- Adelaide Avenue The Oshawa City Council, at its meeting this week, referred to its public works committee a letter from the Township of Whitby asking for a meeting to consider the westerly projection of Adelaide avenue. The letter suggested that rep- resentatives of the Oshawa City Council might meet with rep- resentatives of Whitby Town- ship and the Town of Whitby to discuss a joint presentation with respect to the westerly projec- tion of Adelaide avenue in the City of Oshawa to a distance of approximately three miles. It was suggested that this thoroughfare would reduce the congestion that will result after the reconstruction of Highway 2. City Loses Tax Appeal The Court of Appeal at Os- goode Hall has dismissed an ap- peal by the City of Oshawa against a judgment by Mr. Jus- tice Schatz of the Supreme Court of Ontario. In his judgment His Lordship set aside a $77,000 business assessment levied by t city against the Oshawa Misslonary College. The assessment was levied on a building containing 40,000 square feet of floor space of which 5,000 square feet was Modern Trends -- In Law Cited barrister, a solicitor, A aay, social engineering, and notary public. , * "Law is social engineering," SECOND SECTION OSHAWA ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1964 She Oshawa Zimes PAGE NINE stated Mr. Lovekin. "It is the procedure of bringing order out of chaos, of tempering function with reality." The use of legal procedure to provide protection of physical, property and social rights, were explained. The practice of law in the welfare category, such as assisting with legal advice and aiding indigents, provided * an- other interesting observation in the speaker's talk. "People are calling on lawyers to provide a wider service today," said the speaker. He voiced the opinion that law is working out the current rules governing our society. EXAMPLES CITED The scope and duties of an "Ombudsman," as now fulfilled by sucha legal appointee in some countries today, were de- scribed and some examples of the type of assistance that could be and would be given by such an official in Canada, were also given. Summing up his remarks on the process of law and the prob- lem facing the lawyers in this 20th century, the speaker con- cluded--"'You should know what you want in the way of legal facilities and ask for what you want, and if that's it, then you will have to pay for it." Auto Wheels Are Stolen A Port Perry man parked his car in Oshawa Thursday, and went to play bingo -- when he returned his vehicle was jacked up on bricks and fhe rear wheels were 'missing.

'Perhaps the bell alone would be enough or it might be possible to post men} at each intersection to warn ve- hicular traffic. After all, the trains are going so slowly that it doesn't seem as if there is much danger involved." In the Commons the Ontario MP and Transport Minister Pickersgill engaged in me working shop. In the appeal E. F. Bastedo, QC, acted for the college and E. G. McNeely for the munici- pality.

Pastor Duncan and Dr. Nigel Buxton of North York Branson Hospital team together for the third free clinic starting Sunday at 8 p.m. at the UAW Union Hall on Bond street west. The session, continuing through Thursday night, is again sponsored by the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club,.and is offered as a public service to help improve the health of individuals and the community, and contribute to the.nation's physical-fitness pro- gram. The Five-Day Plan attracts who truly desir. to. kick the habit, and those who have been advised by their doctors to stop for health reasons. The Plan has proven successful in major U.S. and Canadian cities during the past five years, and statistics show that 70 per cent of those who complete the: five-night ses- sion have stopped smoking. Included in th» course is sci- entific and medical instruction on lessening tLe craving, strengthening the will power, how to cope with increased weight, organization of the Buddy system, deep breathing, cold mitten friction treatments, and similar instruction for breaking the habit in five days. Ken Smythe of the Kiwanis Club will introduce the clinic and speakers, and the color film, "'One in 26,000", lung can- cer operation, will be shown to start the program.

Television re- pair companies reported their service crews were "up to their knees in work' replacing broken aerials and wires, William Andringa of Trio Tele- vision said he had five men hard at work and estimated it would take at least a week to catch up on the backlog of storm dam- aged towers.

Many of the people |tell us they want to replace the aerials with towers, I think we've sold 40 of them since the storm hit Oshawa." The high gusts of wind struck the area in a hit and miss fash- ion. Bell Telephone Area Man- ager John Lowry reported no serious damaze to installations. Commission was hard hit by the fickle gale: Some nine utility poles, valued at $100 each, fell victim to-wind and falling trees. At Ortona Beach, a kitchen roof was whisked from a home. It skimmed some _ distance through the air and lopped off a utility pole and wires. Several areas were without hydro power for periods during the storm. Two poles, carrying transformers, collapsed damag- ing equipment beyond repair. Each transformer, says PUC manager Bruce Annand,- is worth about $300. The worst hit area, he report- ed, was north of Highway 'Y. Here, the main problem __w4s fallen trees and limbs lying across power lines. A section of west-central Osh- awa, in the Church street and Bond area, was without hydro power after a small wire snap- ped and short-circuited a 4,000 volt feeder line. Electric Equipment Is Heavily Damaged Police cordoned off the King and Queen streets block in. downtown Oshawa after the wind tore jaggec. sheets of metal from a fire-damaged building, Flying metal posed a hazard to pedestrians and traffic, but no one was reported injured. - In Pickering Township, tumb- ling trees blocked roads in the Valley Farm, Old Forest, and Elizabeth street areas. A chimney on a Church street home was badly damaged by a tree which fell against it. Mrs, Velma Allin was in the base- ment of the house at the time and said she thought the entire building was about to collapse. Little serious damage was re- ported in the Whitby area but roofing gangs were busy today replacing missing shingles and awnings.

David Moore, a salesman, of 939 Broadview avenue, Toronto, was driving below the sign, out- side the Oshawa Discount House, King street west, when the ac- cident happened. Winds sent the 10 by 12 foot structure crashing to the ground less than a_ foot behind Mr, Moore's car. He said shortly aferwards: I'm really lucky to be_ alive. The sign would have cut thorugh the roof of my car like butter. "T had just passed under it when I heard a crash. I turned, saw all that steel and glass lying behind, and breathed a big sigh of relief." Mr. Moore, father of three, added: "I have had a bad fright. Just a few inches saved me from almost certain death." 2 NO ACCIDENTS Int he 24-hour period up to 9 a.m, today no accidents or criminal occurences were re- ported.

"The following evening, the men came to the house to elab- orate on the offer," said Mrs. Hilditch. One introduced him- self as "Mr. Barton" and the other was supposed to be the istrict manager, he said. "When the $500 price was discussed, we offered to pay cash but they refused our offer, saying that the siding would be paid for at $64 a month for five year. They refused to show us the contract and were almost rude when we started to question them," she said. WARNING ISSUED In an effort to warn other residents.
