McIAughlin, president oi ih General Motors Corporation of Cui ada, drove off the first truck to leave the assembly line at the company's works at Walkerville yesterday ai- ternoon at precisely one o'clock. This event inaugurated the company's policy of producing its line of trucks and coaches at the long idle plant there.

Qi these latter models the T19, a one ton truck, will be produced at the Wal- kerville plant for the first time in Canada, There are to be known as the Pontiac truck and will be cquip- ped with Pontiac motors, At the Oshawa plant, where the produetion of trucks was formerly centered, and from where the assem- bly line and manufacturing equipment was moved and set up in Walkerville in the record time of BY: days, trucks were produced which varied in capa- city from one to 2% tons. fhicials besides Mr. McLaughlin, who were present at the Walkerville affair were H.

Canpro League honors here to- night when they outplayed Kitchener from the goal out and won 7 to 1. And Kitchener lost more than tle game, for they wwill have to get a- long for the remainder of the sca son minus the services of their bril- liant centre-ice player, Ripley. Late in the second period Ripley went rac- ing in on the Hamilton net for a re- bound, tripped and crashed into the goal-post, He was carried from the ice suffering from ruptured muscles, | and it was feared that he may have | a hroken pelvis-bone above the left hip. Kitchener lost the game in the opening period and Skinner is in no small" way to blame for the reversc, as he started Kentner, an unknown | product, on the defense with McFar- lane, and before he could replace him the Hamilton forwawrds had round- ed this defense player to score three goals.

Bur- | | Several Cars Enter Ditch | While Others Unable to | Climb Hills The worst road condition experi- enced this winter prevailed last night, with streets and highway covered with a glare of ice that | made travelling difficult, and in some places dangerous. No serious accidents were reported either to the local police department or to Traffic Officer Reid, Pickering, however. During the evening the Department of Highways put sand | on the worst places between Osha- | wa and Toronto. | During the day yesterday the | highway was in good condition, | considering the winter season, but | late in the afternoon the trouble | started with a fall of rain. This | rain froze, of course, as soon as it] reached the ground, and in a short | time the pavement was a glare of | thin ice. The condition was the | worst on the open highway, for | here there was no snow, except for | a litle op the sides, and not even chains helped progress on the | hills. Harmony Hill and the | Thornton's Corner's hill were lin- ed with cars endeavoring to get up. | It was said that at ope time, twen- ty cars were lined in an unbroken string at Harmony, Several cars went into the ditch, but fortunate- ly none were damaged to any ex- tent, and after help had been se- cured to get them out, continued on their way, A Sheppard Lum- her Truck was also noticed on its side in an eight-foot ditch hetween Oshawa and Whithy, but little damage was done, and its load of lumber was not even materially displaced. The worst spots on the road, in- cluding the Thornton's Corner's hill, Rouge Hill and other places, | were sanded by the Department of Highways last evening, but the fur- ther rain during the night glazed them over with ice again. The town of Whitby also spread cinders on the highway through the town. | This morning, the department | once more placed sand on several | parts of the highway. HOLD EUCHRE PARTY The Pythian Sisters held the first | of a series of euchre parties at the Knights of Pythias Hall last night with a good attendance. There were! 17 tables arranged for cards.

McLaughlin -- Had Previously Served Nine and a Half Years ° _ Five years in Portsmouth Peniten- tiary, Kingston, was the sentence imposed this morning by Magistrate A. F. Hind upon Nelson Binkley, convicted of breaking and entering the home of G. W. McLaughlin and committing theft. Binkley entered the residence on the morning of January 9, and stole a considerable quantity of goods most of which have since been re- covered by the local police depart- ment, with the co-operation of the Toronto Detective Department, On January 13 he appeared before Magistrate Hind and pleaded guilty to the charge, being convicted and remanded for sentence. Binkley has a considerable record, having been sentenced previously to a total of nine and a half years im- prisonment on various offences, al- though he is but 23. His first sen- tence in 1921 was to Burwash for one year for the same charge on which he was sentenced today, next was for three months at the Toronto Jail Farm on fraud charges, then, in September, 1922, two years at Bur- wash for theft, at Sault St. Marie, in 1925, from Sudbury, three months for theft, again in the same year two years in Kingston Penitentiary for possessing a set of burglar's tools, robbery while armed and escaping from jail at Sudbury, In pleading for leniency, Binkley told the court that he had been alone in the world since he was 11, that | he had now seen that a life of crime was no good, and that since he canie out of the penitentiary he had work- ed every day until a tew days before this robbery. He said that he had no place to go to when he came out of jail each time, whereupon the magistrate interposed that he had the -whole Dominion of Canada to go to and make good. "This city niust not be a mecca for those who live by their wits rather than by work," said Magistrate Hind in passing sentence. Binkley had no trade, and he will be sent to an in- stitution where he will have an op- portunity to learn a useful trade and become a good member of society, and be able to break the dope habit into which he has fallen.
