Mitchell who are working on' the case, the thieves broke into Foley's service station and refreshment booth at an early hour Sunday morning. They smashed a door open and secured a quantity of cigarettes valued at $25. Through carelessness or excitement they left an automobile robe behind them and with this slim clue the police have established a chain of evid- ence which has warranted a charge of robbery 'being laid against/the Brosner brothers and Brown, After learning of the arrest of the men in Toronto, Chief Gunson and Provincial Constable Mitchell com- municated with the owner of the stolen car who identified the rug as that' which had been in his machine when he parked it out- side Massey Hall, ROBINS IN WHITBY (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 20.--The pres- ence of robins and other song birds in the vicinity of Whitby testify that spring is close at hand, The cheery songs of the birds are a welcome relief from the quiet of the winter months when the only singers were the doughty but unmusical English sparrows, Streets So Treated Passable, Others Are Rivers of Mud (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 20.--The value of proper ditching and gravelling as applied to local streets has been clearly demonstrated during the past two wekes as the frost has been leaving the ground. There are approximately 49 miles of unpaved thoroughfares ii Whit- by and last year the more import- ant streets were ditched and gravelled, These roads are now in good condition while streets which were of necessity left untouched are practically rivers of mud. The increasing use of heavy trucks and other large vehicles has re- sulted in deep ruts and added to the difficulties which must be overcome before the streets are placed in good condition. The problem of street mainten- ance is growing more serious each year on account of tle extensive traffic, The council of 1928 real- ized this and took steps to cope with the situation by the purchase of a tractor to provide power for the town's road machinery. Much good work was done in road main- tenance subject to the limitation of the appropriation for the streets committee. The council of 1929 is equally convinced of the value and necessity of adequate provision for local streets and no doubt much effective work will be performed by the streets department during the coming season. GOUNGIL MAY OFFER 36,000 ASSESSMENT T0 LADIES' COLLEGE By-law Will Be Introduced at the Next Council Meeting (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 20.--A bylaw will be introduced at the next regular meeting of the town council offering the Ontario Ladies' College a fixed assessment of $6,000, for a= limited period. This is in accordance with a recommendation made by the Court of Revision which has sug- gested that the collage property be no longer included as farm lands under the special farmers' agree- ment, Under the proposed bylaw, the college will pay full taxes on this assessment and also taxes for local improvements, Reeve J. M. Kenny, who gave notice that he would introduce the bylaw at Monday night's council meeting out that there was really no pro- vision for the taxation of the school farm as the farm was work- ed solely for the purpose of assist- ing in the maintenance of the in- stitution, For this reason and be- cause the college was an asset to the municipality, the court did not - Saturday.

J. M, Crisall, The use of lan- tern slides, with scenes and views of the great north country, its great rivers, forests and barren ice wastes heightened the interest of the lecture and gave the large au- dience a conception of life as it is lived within the Arctic Circle, Rev. Mr. Crisall spent several years as a missionary stationed at Fort Mc Pherson, the farthest northern out- past on the MacKenzie River, and was thus able to describe accurate- ly the work which is being perform- ed among the natives of this region in bringing the gospel to them, J a COLLEGE ART CLUB PRESENTS TWO PLAYS (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 20.--The Dra-4 matic Art Club, of the Ontario Ladies' College is presenting two plays "A Ghost Story" and "The Three Pegs" in the college audi- torium tonight.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY REGULAR MEETING (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 19.--The regu- iar: meeting of St, Paul's Junior Mis- sionary Society was held in the prim- ary room on Monday night when there was a good attendance of mem- bers.

The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. Chas, Rice, also letters of thanks from shut-ins, Mrs. Rice also reported that Miss Garrett would be able to come and address the society on April 5th at which time she will give a talk on Africa. The society has been trying since' before the New Year to ar- range a date on which Miss Garrett couid come, which indicates the great demand there is for this talented speaker. St. Paul's was highly fav- ored in having her speak at their thankoffering meefing last year when she gave a most interesting and in- structive address on India. Two more requests have come in to have quilting done and the society decided to undertake the work so an- other quilting bee is in the offing. It was also decided to give $10.00 to the Missionary and Maintenance Fund in response to the special ap- peal which has been sent out, At the conclusion of the b proceedings, to the delight of every- one, present, Mrs, Hancock who at the last meeting gave such an inter- esting talk on China, graciously con- sented to tell the society other inter- esting' things about that great coun- try in which she was born and in which she spent the early years of her life. Mrs, Hancock touched on the various religions, temple wor- ship, etc, also on the domestic life of China, Mrs, Hancock is a charm- ing speaker and holds the undivided attention of her audience. At the close of the address refresh- ments were served under convener- ship of Miss Stephens and Miss Peardon who had created a decided! "Irishy" atmosphere in the room wi a profusion of shamrocks and other St. Patrick Day decorations, BOWMANVILLE BRIEFS (By Staff Reporter Bowmanville, March 19.--Miss Jane Mason, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Mason, is taking part in the musical comedy, "Honeyboy" which is being played at Hart House Thea- tre, Toronto, all this week.

Dan has a girl and is to be married. After Dan's marriage he, still remains the spoiled boy, and Ma continues her doting. Dan's wife, Mona, sees many possibilities in him if only she can cut him loose from his Ma's ap- ron-strings. This she succeeds in do- ing, with the help of some friends, and finally makes a real man out of Dan and incidentally wins his, mother too, who sees the mistake she made in always making a pet of Dan.

WILLIAMS C0. IS MAKING BOATS (Continued from page 1) growth in the business in the near future. The motor boat business be- came slack with the advent of the speedy automobile, but with the new boats that can reach a high speed, and with the sport of surfboarding, it is providing a thrill that cannot be obtained on land, The "sea flea craze" just hit Canada last summer, and a sporting authority predicted that thére would be 500 of the craft on Ontario and Quebec waters this year, The Williams Piano Company . | is looking for a higher total number than that, however, and is making a bid for the large share of the trade, Mr. Carlyle declared, "I feel that it is a growing business, and as the industry grows, the Williams Piano Company will keep pace with it." Mr, Carlyle said. : For several years, this Oshawa firm has been looking for some line that would employ men in the spring months, when the demand for pianos and radios naturally slackens some- what. This has been found in the boat making business, which fits in ideally with the other lines made by the firm, Need of Harbour : "There is no reason why this busi- ness in Oshawa should not develop. I am certain that we are beginning this spring what may be a large boat- building industry, providing we can get the facilities," said Mr, Carlyle. "One thing that is absolutely neces- sary, however, if we are going to make any larger pleasure boats, is a harbour," he declared. It was even necessary to go to Whitby harbour to have a proper launching of the Williams line of boats, This will take place on Saturday, April 6, accord- ing to present plans, and prominent citizens, city officials and members of parliament will be invited to witness the event. May Seek' Honors As a close to the interview with The Times reporter, Mr. Carlyle hinted that Williams hulls might make a bid for speed boating honors. "Lou Marsh, prominent in pap sporting circles, is an ardent 'sea flea' fan, and I understand for 11 days held the world's record for speed. I believe, though, that unless he uses 2 Williams hull this season, he will not likely find the honor re- turning to him," said Mr, Carlyle, smiling, -------- Miss Betty Ward Of The Betty Lou Rexall "Happy Thought?"
