---- oy ra CE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1929 i i rogram adie Arranged For "Genera jon of Judge Regarding : A {Whitevale Bridge Appealed By] Jovan of Pickering Action. is... One. in Which | Township ~ Appealed to Have The Bridge Taken Over by Ontario County "As a County Bridge VUDGE DISALLOWED TOWNSHIPS CLAIM Appeal is Based on Claim That Approaches to Bridge Extend or over 400 feet -- Notice of Appeal Served An appeal has heen entered by the township of Pickering against the decision handed' down by His Honor Judge Ruddy in the county court at Whitby, on July 12, which refused to grant an order declar- ing the Whitevale bridge a county bridge. - The appeal will be heard in the Supreme Court of Ontario. +One of the chief points on which the township bases its appeal is based. upon a subsection which states that when a bridge crossed a 'stream, the approaches to the bridge whether consisting of em- bankments or other artificial works to the extent to which they are ren- dered necessary on account of the stream overflowing the highway, shall 'be deemed to form part of the bridge. The township contend- ed that the fill necessary to cross the whole flats on both sides of this creek, 'a distance of over 400 feet, should be included as an ap- proach to the bridge while the county's contention, that the ap- proach should only consist of tunat part of the road which had been inundated in the floods, was up- held by Judge Ruddy. The township based its appeal on these grounds: That the order of Judge Ruddy was made against the weight of evidence. That the judge had found that the bridge would be used by innab- itants: of other municipalities and that it was situated on an imporl- ant highway, the 5th concession line of Pickering township, apd that it was a connection between several municipalities, and that the judge erred in not finding that 75 per cent of the trafic over the bridge originated outside of Pick- ering township. That the judge erred in finding that the application was made un- der sfubsection 13 of section 458 of the Municipal Act and in not finding that it was made under the whole section. That the judge err- ed in not finding that the artificial embankments to the east and west of the bridge formed part of the bridge. That the judge erred in- finding that it was necessary for the town- ship to prove that the waters of Duffin's Creek must overflow the artificial enmbankments to the ex- tent of 300 feet before the provi- sions of section 458 applied. That the judge erred in not rind- 'afplaq omy jo juwd pewioj e3pliq ing that all the artificial embank- ments to an extend exceeding 400 feet are necessary for access to the hridge "and to prevent the waters of the creek in overflowing the highway in times of freshet. _That. the judge erred in finding that a bridge of a length of 300 ft. or less was sufficient at this point.

Farncombe, city social service worker, to act as secretary of the new board, and also decided. to hold the meetings on the first Tuesday of each month.

Robertson Canadian Press Staff Writer) New York, N.Y. Aug. 2--A form- er cattle herder of the Saskatchewan plains has crashed Broadway. And that brilliantly illuminated canyon, so sad a white way for many seekers after theatrical renown, has accorded him a fond reception. Sydney Scaward, who so genuinely fills the role of "C Company Ser- geant Major" in Gilbert Miller's "Journey's End," a unique drama study of world war psychology in a dugout, is an Fnglishman by birth, but prefers to be called an "English-Canadian." With his home, family and his garden he ¢njoys pot- tering about in London. Seaward's heart is in the Old Eand: but it was in Canada he sought and found re- juvenation for a bgoken body. It was in the Dominion also his feet were turned towards the stage. He feels greatly his debt to his second home in the golden prairies. Seaward first visted Canada in 1903 primarily for the purpose of rebuild- ing a constitution undermined by the heat and fever of the African jungle lands, He went into the crisp, cool air of Saskatchewan and successfally turned his hand to cow-herding on a ranch near Maple Creek. After a vear of the simple life he had sui- ficiently regained health to start out again for new ficlds, He decided to give try." But while his connections in Winnipeg, fate took a hand in shaping his destiny. A pal from back home--onec he had not seen since school days at Rugby-- chanced to stroll by. Out of that re- union Seaward's carcer behind the foot lights blossomed. The friend was with the Winnipeg Stock Com- pany, playing at that time in the old Winnipeg Theatre on Notre Dame Avenue, since destroyed by a fatal fire. The programme changed cvery week and there was regular work for a willing super. This is how Scaward continued his story to The Canadian Press repre- sentative: "It was a bit scruffy this show husiness. My first few parts consisted mainly of tripping on and off the stage like a blooming scarecrow; never having a chance to exercise my lungs with so much as an 'Ah McDuff! "At 50 cents couldn't cat often, six-foot-two frame to sustain and cating is a serious business' with him.)

The fumeral' set- vice was held from the Tuké Buf- ial Parlors, King streaf wept, and was attended by over sevepty-fife people including relatives and friends of the deceased. Since the tragedy keen sympathy has been manifested by {he citizéns of the community towards Mr. Ed- win Gomme whose family;has al- most been completely broken by the fatalities. The number of flora! tributes which adorned the cas- kets was an indication of the sy ni- pathy which has been felt, The service conducted hy Rev. Mr Richardson, assistant to Rev. Canon dePencier of St. George's Anglican Church, was impressive in its simple dignity. The pastor reiterated the message of eternal life and spoke words of comfort fo those who had heen so sorely stricken. The pall-bearerz were all friends of the family and were Messrs, W. Walker, A..

The Zround crew of 275 attached to' the dirigible Los Angeles has been aug- mented by 150 marines from the Brooklyn and Philadelphia navy yards to assist in bringing the Graf to earth. The Los Angeles, annual overhauling, has been moved to the north side of the hangar with the navy blimps J-3 and J-4, leaving the south side clear for the expected visitor.

Aboard Graf Zeppelin, Aug. 3. -- As we near the end of our second day together it has become increas- ingly certain to us that this is the most congenial crowd ever assem- bled in a ship; either on water or in the air. While the world is anxious and wondering about us we are singing and telling stories and having a goo dtime, not at all in a hurry to reach New York. Even the gorilla seems to have entered the spirit of the thing, and insists on having company all of the time. She is quite affectionate. It has been sunny part of the time. The ship has behaved fine. When we passed over Santa Maria Island at 8.20 tonight (3.20 E.S.T.) we dropped two bundles of mail wrapped in a German flag.

After the Armistice he re- turned to the stage and now he is back on this side of the Atlantic with "Journey's End," the war drama that followed its London triumph by car- rving Broadway by storm. This play, unique in its deeply rooted * psychology and whose" entire cast is composed of males--all of them Londoners--has enjoyed a suc cession of packed houses since tak- ing its first curtain in New York.
