TRESPASS [5 AGAIN DEBATED IN POLICE COURT DEFENDANT PLEADS GUILTY BEFORE MAG- ISTRATE WILLIS Dr. Thone, Pastor of Ukrain- ian Church, Pays Costs of $5.50 Harry Markachuk, Valencia road, was remanded for sentence indef- initey but must pay court costs of $6.50, when he appeared in police court here on a charge of trespass- ing on C.N.R. property in the south- ern section of the city, to which he pleaded guilty on advice of his counsel, Louis Hyman. This is Makachuk's second appearance in court for a similar offence, he hav- ing been fined for his previous con- viction, A representative of the Canadian National Railways in tune person of Superintendent Tisdale of the In- vestigation department of Toronto, and Dr, Thone, head of the Ukrain- fan church in Oshawa were pres- ent at the hearing. The case this morning is the most recent of a number which | have occup'ed the attention or the court in Oshawa, * It deals with the property of the C.N.R. near Valen- cia road in the Township of East Whitby aeross which residents in the township think they should have the right to go. The court and the C.N.R., however have made it plain that these residents must go the half mile around to the nearest road to get into the city, a fact which the residents are challenging. Mr, Hyman, who appeared for Markachuk, made the statement | that the township council has al- rea 'y made application through its solicitor, Gordon Conant, to the | Railway Board in the hope of es- tablishinz a crossing at this point, Mr, Tisdale, however, informed the * court that no such application had been made.

It was the general opinion that the plant needed extensions and repairs in the near future and the committee could not determine whether it would be possible to carry ou in the future at a profit The questions of extending the scope of sale of gas by supplying it to Whitby and other towns in this vicinity, and alsc of discon- tinuing the manufacture of gas here and purchasing it from an ou.side company had also been raised, and the engineers were also asked to.report on the prac- ticality of these projects.

What Others Say ! PHEASANT SHOOTING Oshawa, Feb, 15th, 1929. To Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Oshawa. Dear Sir: Will you kindly publish a warn- ing in The Times regarding the shooting of pheasants, now that we have so much spow I am pat- ting out feed for them in the marsh near the lake where they are, which wilh make it easy for thoughtless hunters to shoot them. I raised mine more last year, the eight trained the year before had young themselves last summer. There is a heavy penalty for shooting these birds, and I wigh everyone to know about it, as we cannot get them firmly established unless we get the co-operation of all, Thanking you very this favour. Yours respectfully, much for William Scattergood. OSHAWA RA Street Church Choir Raised $168 For Miners' Fund CITY AND DISTRICT NEWS | ISES $565 FOR THE MINERS' FUND Need is Still Acute as Children and the Aged Are Dying of Starvation--Simcoe Street Church Makes Splendid Donation of $168 With the splendidly generous con- tribution from Simcoe Street United Church of $168.61, the proceeds of the choir's sacred concert last night, the Oshawa Miners Fund goes over the $500 mark, the total at noon today being $565.11. The Simcoe Street Church gift is the largest single con- tribution to this fund so far receiv. ed. The proceeds from the Citizens' Band concert have yet to come in. That all the money that Canada can give is urgently needed, is shown afresh by messages received today from Wales. Miners who have bee unemployed for a long time, had managed to keep the fires going iu their homes with coal dug from the colliery tips, but now these are buried under six to eight feet of snow. In desperation they are tearing down billboards and searching in every nook and corner for fuel As the car of a relief officer stop- ped at Merthyr, Glamorgan, one mes- sage says, a little white-faced hoy warmed his hands at the radiator. | "We have no coal to warm our rooms | --the baby is dying of pneumonia," was his comment. Not 500 yards away was one of the largest collieries in England--idle. Many aged people are dying of cold and hunger, intensified by the recent severe storms and winter weather. Everywhere are seen conditions re- miniscent of Central Europe during the famine years--starving children, sick mothers, and distracted men. Oshawa, here in old Ontario, where life flows smoothly on with ng such need as this even a remote possibil- ity--surely Oshawa can give more freely to relieve the burden, A con- tribution is needed from every one of us, no matter what the amount.

The offence took place on Satur- day and came as a sequel to Floody s continued appeals to the authorities in the Township for aid, Floody's WAS 66 SATURDAY counsel, D. A. J. Swanson, related to the court .a pitiful story concerning the former's inability to obtain work and provide necessities for his wife and three children, 1t appears ancially or otherwise, and was given the sum of 50c. This, Mr. Swanson contended, would not go far towards providing even the bare necessities of life. With this 50 cents, Floody went in- to the Loblaw store, purchased what he could for the momey and succum- bed to the silent urging to take to his destitute family enough to pro- vide them until he could get more. He purloined and admitted it in court two pounds of butter, one and a half pounds bacon, some cheese and a box of biscuits. Counsel pointed out the fact that Floody did not attempt to hide the food, but went about it in an open manner, "This court is a court of Justice," stated Mr. Swanson, "It deals with humanity in every form, and I make a plea for my client on the strength of the fact that he was absolutely destitute, that he was only doing that which nature compelled him to do, after all efforts to secure aid by the usual and upright methods had fail- » Although Chief Friend explained to the court that Floody had zppear- ed on previous occasions for misde- meanors such as ill-treating dumb an- imals, Magistrate Willis was inclined to look upon the case as one of a great many cases- which should re- ceive the pity of the court. He men- tioned the fact that the East Whitby Township should provide for people living in that territory who are in destitute circumstances, His Worship placed Floody upon suspended sentence since the latter had pleaded guilty to the offence of theft and ordered that the costs of he court be paid by the municipality.
