THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1930 PAGE THREE Extend Twice-Daily Carrier Mail Delivery In The City Condition of George C. Rodd . Is Precarious, Mrs. J. Read Is Progressing Favorably Little Change Reported To- © day in Condition of Seri- "ously Injured Victim of Accident at Brooklin Sun- day MRS. READ'S ARM WAS AMPUTATED Despite Her Advanced Age, 87-Year-Old Highland Creek Woman Is Making Good Progress Towards Recovery Little change is reported in the condition of George Carmon Rodd, young Brooklin man, who is lying in the Oshawa General Hospital seriously injured as the result of a collision which occurred on the Whitby-Lindsay highway, a half- mile north of Brooklin last Sunday afternoon, betweena car driven by Rodd and a sedan owned by W. W. Free, of Brooklin, resulting in the death of Rodd"s mother, Mrs. G. Rodd, of Brooklin. Dr. R. F. MacLaren, of Whitby, who is attending to the injured man, stated that his condition is precarious. Little change has been noted since he was admitted to the hospital on Sunday. Mrs. ne Read, of Highland Creek, ghnamorner of Rodd, suf- fered injuries to her arm in the accident and yesterday it was found necessary to amputate the injured member. In spite of the fact that she is 87 years of age, Mrs. Read iis making favorable progress to- wards recovery. Sunday's accident was one of the worst to have occurred on the Whitby-Lindsay highway in years. and the sympathy of the district is extended to the Rodd family which has been so sadly stricken. Both cars were badly smashed. Although he had been living at his home in Brooklin, George Rodd had been conducting a barber shop at Mary and Colborne streets here. He is unmarried. Dr. MacLaren states that his injuries include con- cussion of the brain. TICKETS SELLING RAPIDLY KINSMEN FROLIC An utterly unique and unexpect- ed entertainment is in store for all those who attend the Kinsmen's second annual midnight musical comedy being staged in the Regent theatre this Friday night, com- mencing at 11.15 p.m, From the rise of the curtain those who will be fortunately enough to secure 2 seat in the spacious auditorium for this yearly event will be taken on an adventurous and pleasant diver- sion for a space of two hours, The show is called "Oddities of 1930" and it is just what the name im- plies--something different, some- thing unusual happening before your eyes every minute they are focused upon the stage. Beauti- ful girls dancing and singing Broadway's latest song hits; funny comedians doing stunts to evoke roars of laughter; gorgeous gowns and costumes to feast the eye: flashing scenic and lighting effects | equal to anything Oshawa has yet been privileged to see, all set to a lilting musical score played by a special orchestra engaged for this excellent musical extravaganza. Among the many musical numbers listed on the program you are cer- tain to enjoy Bill Burnett singing "Pm 'a Dreamer, Aren't We All" and Colinwood Daniel, with the Eskimo girls strutting "Turn on The Heat." Of the many features that will be enjoyed none will be more appreciated than the toe and pallet dance exhibition which will be presented by several little girls under the age of 14, under the di- rection of Mrs. Hendrie, local danc- ing instructress. Some idea of how the Kinsmen do things was in evi- dence this morning at the Regent box-office where the reserved seat plan opened to the public, long {ines of patrons exchanged their special kets for reserved seats. Th have not yet availen themselves of exchanging their tickets are advised to do so as early as possible as seats are being pick- ed up rapidly, and from all appear. ances the house will be sold out jong before Friday night. The Kinsmen have arranged for special street cars north and south, which - will leave the front of the Regent immediately following the conclusion of the performance, in order that their patrons living a distanée from the theatre will have means of transportation to their homes.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IN OSHAWA PROBABLY APRIL 27 TO SEPT. 28 At a meeting of the Toronto Ci"y Council yesterday afternoon the dates for the commencement and closing of daylight saving time for the year was set at April 27 to September 28th, These dates co- incide with the datcs set by the Railways for their change of sched- ule and although the Oshawa City Council has not yet decided on its dates for daylightssaving it is prob- able that a period corresponding to that of Toronto will be brought into cffect here. It is also probable that Bowmanville and Whitby wili follow suit with Oshawa. CEDARDALE CHURCH CELEBRATES ITS SR) ANNIVERSARY Rev. F. L.

Armstrong claimed that Slack | | | had struck him in the eye. Plaintiff claimed that he had | called at the Slack home to collect the balance of an account which had been owing him. After paying the money, Slack had accused him of circulating a story to the effect that his boy had stolen money from the till in Armstrong's store; "I told him that [ never had cir- culated any such story and that he was a ----------- liar, He then struck me in the eye." "What did you expect him to do?" the bench queried. Magistrate Willis' commented that there had been provocation for the blow. "That's good law, is it not?" he asked. "I don't know about the law part of it, but it seems like sound common sense," Crown Attorney McGibbon replied. D. A. J.

There are at present 16 letter car- riers employed by the local office, Mr, Mathison explained. The car= riers begin work at 7 o'clock in the morning and all the mail which has come on the late afternoon and even- ing trains of the preceding day and on all trains until 5 a.m. is delivered in the morning. The great percent- age of the afternoon mail is for bus- iness places and offices alone. In order to give a twice daily ser- vice in the McLaughlin Blvd, and Cedardale districts important changes are being made in the "walks" of the letter carriers in the north and south of the city. Commenting upon the service re- cently established in Westmount, Postmaster Mathison pointed out that this was a rapidly expanding district, i "When I came here three years ago," he stated, "there were only nine letter carriers on the staff Now there are sixteen. The city has grown rapidly and the post-office has been trying tg keep up with its growth. But as the ppoulation con< tinues to increase many of the dif- ficulties now met with in provdiing a carrier service of two deliveries a day will be overcome." : I "It | state WOMEN POLICE IN TURKEY?
