George Paraskevakos, 66, of 35 Halsey St., Toronto was lying in the grass at Cedar Stone Park when a car back- ed over him. Mr. Paraskevakos was tak- en to Oshawa General Hos- pital. Police said Mr. Parask- evako's back may have been broken in .the mishap which occurred Sunday afternoon. six to seven feet high. The set is heavy, and it is there- fore reasonable to believe it would take more than one - person-to lift the set.from the stand and carry it away. It is believed the thieves left by a side door. The set is worth $300., but it will no doubt be difficult to sell this type of TV with- out arousing some suspicion.
