The commission's building on Gibb st. was ravaged by fire, leaving some 30 recrea- tional groups here without facilities in which to operate. Now, after two months of reorganization, the ORC pic- ture is brightening. After spending nearly a month in cramped quarters at the Civic Auditorium, the commission. moved in late November to a_ temporary quarters at Oshawa airport. But the facilities at the ORC's new temporary home are not comparabe to those of the old ORC building, where some $15,000 worth of recreational equipment was lost in the fire. Gerry Gelette, deputy direc- tor of recreation, said today the commission is partly back on its feet, but its progress will be hampered by inade- quate facilities until next year when an extension will be added to the Civic Auditorium for the ORC. Facilities there will be elaborate, even includ- © ing a swimming pool: Following the blaze, said * Mr. Gelette said that a ; to scramble to find locations four--our---groups,---Our---pro- ;2tams are now scattered aii 'OVEr THE City, rae DIDN'T MISS "We had to relocate 30 groups.

"Right now we're trying to get the use of a couple of gymnasiums in schools," he said. "'We wish to continue to offer instruction in golf be- cause over the last five years it has become one of the most popular activities in the physi- cal development line."" Mr. Gilette said that a reduction in some recreation- al activities are inevitable until the ORC moves to the Civic Auditorium next year. In the meantime, Wendell Brewster, ORC director, Mr. | Gilette; and Bruce Holds- worth, assistant director, are striving to do as much as they can in their new HQ. All three thank dozens of organizations in the city that came to the ORC's assistance fellowing the Nov. 4 fire,: which is estimated to have resulted in more than $70,000 worth of damage.

And where did she. go? These were the questions at Oshawa Court yesterday when Mrs. Helen Marie England, of Stevenson rd. n., appeared on a charge of theft. Mrs. England, 29, pleaded not guilty to stealing two shirts and a pair of troussers from the Eaton's store in the Oshawa Shopping Centre. Security officer Charles Elimes - testified that he saw Mrs. England drop two shirts in a shopping bag. She later moved on to the men's wear department and added a pair of trousers, he added. She then, he said, walked out of the store. Mrs, England's story of how she happened to be in pos- session of the items varied. She told the court that the items belonged to a woman with a baby stroller whom she had helped out of the store. The woman, she said, was struggling to get out of the doors. She offered to help by holding the shopping bags. When she got through the doors the woman disappeared without trace. The next thing she knew she was being led back into the store by Mr. Ellmes, Mrs. England testified. "This came as a shock to you I suppose,"' commented Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck in cross examination. "Yes,"' replied Mr. England. "A pack of lies," said Mr. Affleck demanding a convic- tion. 'In all my years as a prosecutor I have never heard such a fairy story." ANOTHER DISPUTE There was dispute too, over a statement that Mrs. England gave after the incident. Mrs. England claimed that Det. Sgt. Ken Young made the whole thing up. She admitted signing - the statement after it was taken but said that Det. Sgt, Young had threatened to "put me in the cells' if she didn't sign Det. Sgt. Young and a police, constable who was in the room when the statement was taken both denied the threat. After discussion the state- ment was read into the court record, In the statement Mrs. Eng- land admitted that she did not pay for the items. Asked why she said: "I do not know." Mrs. England was fined $100 and costs or 14 days-in jail. A police officer had to jump aside to avoid being hit by an accelerating auto on Bond st. e. Magistrate Harry Jermyn was told. Before the court was year-old Roach pleaded not guilty to a charge of dangerous driving. He was found guilty and fined $200 and costs or 30 days in jail. His licence was also suspended for six months. 'HIGH SPEED' Police constable Reginald Mcintyre said that he was standing talking to fellow offi- cers in a police cruiser park- ed on Bond st. e. He testified that he heard a screeching of tires. Turning, he saw a car emerge from Victoria st, at a great rate of speed and with no lights. He jumped in to the road to flag the car down with his flashlight. The car .came straight to- wards him accelerating hard, Constable McIntyre added. He had to jump to one side to avoid being hit. The car, he said, missed him by only a foot. The police cruiser itmmedi- ately gave chase with Det. Tobin at the wheel, Det. Sgt. John MacDermaid said he recognized the driver as Roach when it went past the cruiser. As a passenger in the police cruiser, Det. Sgt. McDermott described a high speed chase along Simcoe st. n. The cruiser, he said, was touching speeds of 90 miles an hour during the chase and the fleeing car was going away. from them. . Eventually they lost the car. During its flight from police the car ran three red lights. Asked if he could estimate the speed of the fleeing car, Det. Sgt. McDermott said he could not. ' Despite the fact that the cruiser was touching 90, he said, they could not get close enough to clock the car. Roach claimed a case of mistaken identity. A friend, he said, looked very much like him and it could have been him. Roach did not go into the witness box to give evidence. Asking for a _ conviction, Crown Attorney Affleck said: This' is becoming an ex- 26- Leo who tremely prevalent type of crime. The police of this force have asked me to state that they are genuinely concerned with this type of driving. This policeman's life was endan- gered by Roach. If he had been hit by the car it would have been very serious." A 28-year-old London man, Ronald Peter Whetstone pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing tools valued at over $8,663 from the Oshawa depot of the Northern Canada Sup- ply Co. Ltd. He was sentenced to 18 months definite and six months indefinite, the sen- tence to run concurrent with a jail term Whetstone is al- ready serving for another. of- fence. "There have been three road deaths in Whitby during the last week," Magistrate Jermyn told an Oshawa man, "and they were caused by people like you.' es _ Before the bench was Paul Besse, of Grenfell st., who pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving. The court heard that Besse "was driving at a high speed. He lost control of his vehicle on Simcoe st. s., at Mill st., and slid into the side of an- other car. ' Over '$1,000 damage was caused to both cars. Magistrate Jermyn hard that Besse had five previous speeding convictions during the last two years. He fined Besse $150 and costs or 30 days in jail. He also suspended his driving li- cence for 12 months. For driving while impaired Bernard F. Maloney, of Sim- coe st. n., was fined $100 and costs or 15 .days in jail. Maloney pleaded guilty to the charge. Failing to remain at the scene of an accident cost Chester Rines, of. Bloor st. w., a $50 fine and costs or 14 days in jail. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. Rines was also fined $50 and costs or 15 days for an offence of driving while under suspen- sion. He admitted this charge. For being drunk in a public place 17-year-old Guy Wilson was fined $50 and costs or 14 days in jail. Wilson, of Mar- garet st., admitted it was his second drunk offence,
