ORMISTON DAILY TIMES HITBY FIREMEN LITIGANTS IN COURT ACTION th of an Alleged Assault at Fire Before Judge (By Whitby Staff Writer) An echo of a dispute which oc- rred between two Whitby fire- en on the morning of October th, while a fire was in progress h the Landon block on Brock treet North, wads heard in the ounty Court before Judge Lompson Thursday afternoon. hen Richard Heard, a former ember of the Volunteer Fire ompany, brought action agdinst Incther former member, David owat, for $500 damages for odily pain and suffering, the re- ult of an alleged assault. Heard laimed that Mowat, during an gument of brief duration at the re, without provocation, struck m on the mouth with his fist, ocked one tooth out, damaged thers, and caused him bodily ain' and suffering and loss of me, also that other dental work ould be required before he re- covered from the effects of the gsault. W. H.*Kennedy, of Whitby, ap- eared fof.the plaintiff. The de-- ense, was that the plaintiff Heard was the aggressor in that e grabbed hold of Mowat while he latter was carrying out an rder issued by Captain Dick Me- fillan, of the Fire Company, to rn water into the front door f the burning building, thus im- eding and hindering the work f fire fighting as prohibited by own bylaw; that Mowat struck Heard in self 'defense, and that eard through his officious and n-called for action brought the ssault upon himself, It was iso set up by Duncan McIntyre, efcnse counsel, that Mowat hav- ng been Interferred with while erforming a public duty which e had sworn as member of the ire Company to carry out, could ot be sued in a court of law for ny damages which Heard by rongful action might have oc- urred, Mr, McIntyre cited nu- erous cases decided in the ourts on the question of self- efense and other aspects of the jase, His Honor Judge Thompson romised to look into some of the lases eited by both counsél for he plaintiff and defendant and eserved judgment for a few days. The plaintiff giving evidence, laimed that Mowat struck him bn the mouth without any ag- iression on his part after he had o!d Mowat not to turn the wa- r into the shop because there 42 & man in there. The injuries his teeth and mouth were de- ailed, as set forth in statement f claim, Morley Moore, Arthur Wigston, dward Outwin, Arthur Noble, nd Capt. McMillan, members of he Fire Company, testified that hey heard the dispute between eard and Mowat about carrying ut an order by the Captain to rn water into the burning store, lso that they saw Mowat strike Heard with his fist on the mouth nd separated the pair. David kreen also gave similar evidence, hile Traffic Officer Arthur Run- com, who first saw the fire at andon's Store and tried to ex- inguish it with chemicals from rearby garage, while an alarm as being turned ia, testified that e witnessed the alleged assault.

We erations at the fire in question in the absence of the Fire Chief, whe had not yet arrived. He gave the order to turn the water into the building as stated by several witnesses. He also wit- nessed the assault on Heard, Jchn R, Frost, town clerk, was called by the defeuse to identify a bylaw passed by the Council regulating the, fire department and fighting of fires. Cross-examined by Mr. Meln- tyre, none of the Crown witness- es would swear that they saw Heard grab a hold of Mowat as alleged, although they admitted that this might have taken place. Dr. Fallaise, of Pickering, den- tist, testified that he took an X- ray of Heard's mouth on Novem- ber 4th, also examined his teeth during the last week. One tooth was missing, two others dislodg- ed, it looked as if there might be a fracture, while there was con- siderable soreness. The doec- tor estimated that it would take at least $25.00 for further den- ta. work before Mr. Heard's teeth were in shape. Cross-ex- amined by Mr. McIntyre, Dr. Fal- laiee would not admit that it pos- sible to have a tooth knocked out under the circumstances describ- ed to the Court without pain of any account to Heard. "I would have to have experience, he re- marked, in order to answer that question. Witnesses for the defense in- cluded the defendant Mowat who told the Court that as he was carrying out an order from Capt. McMillan to turn water into the hurning store Heard told him not to do it and grabbed him by the neck. To resist Heard"s interfer- ence, and defend himself, and carry out his duty as instructed, Mowat claimed' that he struck Heard and pushed him back. Fireman Roy Wilkinson testi- fied that he saw Heard grab a hold of Mowat before the latter struck the blow in the dispute about turning on the water, Heard reaching over past him as he was holding the hose to get at Mowat. Chief of Police H. W. Quantrill testified that smoke was coming out of the burning building thus cbecuring what actually occurred during the dispute. He sw Heard reach out to grab some- thing but could not tell whether it was the hose or a man. Under cross-examination by Mr. Kennedy, the Chief admitted a conversation with Officer Runi- «com after the fire in which the officer testifiedmfwypetaoinrdluj officer stated that Mowat should have been arrested. The Chief stated that he told the traffic of- ficer that he was looking after the case, There was no arrest, the Chief said, as he did not deem such action necessary. After arguments by counsel for both sides, Judge Thompson re- served judgment. The hearing of the case was listened to by quite a number of interested citizens who decorat- ed the court benches. PORT PERRY MAN LOSES APPEAL IN COUNTY COURT Conviction for. Driving While Intoxicated Is Upheld An appeal by Fred Schell, of Port Perry, from a conviction made against him by Magistrate Purdy, of Port Perry, for driv- ing a motor car while in an in- tuxicated condition, on July 10th of this year, the convicition carry- ing with it a sentence of seven days in the county jail at Whitby, was dismissed with costs by His Honor Judge Thompson in Coun- ty Court on Thursday afteruoon. The charge against Schell, pre- ferred by Provincial Constable Thomas Mitchell, who investigat- ed the case for the Chief of Police of Port Perry, was laid under sec-: tion 285, Criminal Code, ana the convic- tion was registered by the Magis- trate after three men had testi- fied that the accused Schell was intoxicated on the day in ques- tion. The hearing of the appeal am- cunted to practically a re-trial of the case, as both crown and de- tense witnesses were called. Three Crown witnesses were called who testified that accused was intoxicated while driving his car on the night of July 10th in Port Perry, while for the defense tan witnesses were called to tes- tify that on the night in ques- tion they had been in touch with Schell in one way or another and that so far as they could judge, Le was not infoxicated.

NEW UTILITIES BUILDING COSTS UNDER ESTIMATE (Continued from page 1) cxact figure at which it was let. The only exception to this is the electrical contract which is $13.- 33 more than the contract, caus- ed by the inclusion of items Shieh were not originally called or, or by changes subsequently made, such as plastering the rasement ceiling, which necessi- tated taking down fixtures that had already been hung and re- setting. I may say that 1 do not count as extras against this rec- ord any items which the Com- n:isefon ordered to be done, over and above my previous mstruc- ticns, such as the basement plas- tering, the Commemorative Tab- let, and the Electric Clock. As it is commonly supposed that ex- tras are a necessity in any build- ing, I feel justified in calling special attention to their absence in this case, ! In conclusion may I express my very sincere thanks to the chair- mar and every member of the Commission and its officials, for their courtesy and consideration thrcughout our entire connection in this enterprise. I know the building to be well and truly built and trust that it will com- pletely fulfill every expectation through its years of service." OBITUARY FUNERAL OF ¢ MES, H. E.

Perhaps the most appealing characteris- tic of the over-running clutch as rresented in the Chevrolet and combined with the syncro-mesh units, js its simplicity, It con- sists of only three major operat- ing parts. This would seem to be a great advantage. Simple Operation Also operating tne free-wheel- ing mechanism is simplicity it- self. When the control button is pushed in, the automatic *"'coast- ng" mechanism is engaged and the car coasts free of the engine whenever the foot is removed from the accelerator. This, of rourse, permits the engine to idle, independent of the forward speed of the car. Some of the features of the 1932 line which are additional since last year are: "diamond" {ype engine suspension, down- araft carburetion, ecounter-bal- anced crankshaft, smaller wheels and larger tires, ovoid radiator, taat is reminiscent of the 1931 Oldsmobile, "finger tip" front seat adjustment, doors in the hocd and improved clutch, Stabilized' Front Entirely new on any car is the "stabilized" front end construc- tion. By this arrangement, fen- ders, radiator and headlamps are cerried on a single support unit, anchored to the front cross-mem- ber of the frame. his anchorage cnables the front end to sway with the body as a unit, reducing the annoying weave and vibra- tion, as well as possible rattles ut points of stress. While the wheelbase remains at 109 inches, the cdr looks long- er, speedier and more powerful. Thirteen Body Styles There are thirteen body styles in the line this year--three open, eight closed and two convertible Fisher bodies, all in new duco color combinations. Seven of these models are supplied with de luxe equipment as standard. These cars all look much the handsomest models that Chevro- iet has ever put out, The Oshawa plant of General Motors of Canada ic busy on pro- duction of the mew Chevrolets, and the stimulus to employment made possible by this introduc- tion of the new car several weeks earlier than usual, has added to th. earnings of thousands in the city as well as elsewhere in Can- ada, PLANS COMPLETED FOR HOLDING OF CHRISTMAS EVENT (Continued from page 1) filled the city council chamber to capacity, A resolution was passed sup- (Continued from page 1) porting the request of the Osh- awa Horticultural Society that the war memorial be lit with floodlights, and a copy ordered sent to the public utilities com- mission and the park, boards There were interesting discus- sions of pension and departmen- tal relief regulations, and of other matters relating to the wel- fare of disabled veterans.

The dance committee reported that it had completed its plans for a series of dances during the winter months, - the first being arranged for Tuesday, December 22, in Rotary Hall. The proceeds of these will also go into the building fund. The argument had been all on Mrs. Brown's side throughout the evening, and Brown was distinctly annoyed. "You seem to think a cold in the head means nothing to a woman," stormed his wife, "1 don't know of anything more annoying!" Her husband peered over the newspaper he had been trying to read. "No?" he coyntered, with rare flash of spirit, "What about lock- jaw?"

And to-day, the same sad state of affairs is likely to prevail.

Phphph! WARNING GIVEN ON SINGLIE LIGHT CARS ----t, A warning against the practice of motorists using only a single light has been issued by Provincial Traffic Officer E. Purvis, who states that the practice is not only contrary to the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario, but extremely dan- gerous to other users of the high- way. Officer Purvis is responsible for enforcement of traffic regulations between Oshawa and Newtonville. It is hoped that this warning will be heeded ; law breakers being liable to a heavy fine, if caught. The Officer quoted a case where a motorist, mistaking another auto=- mobile coming the other direction, for a motor-cycle, crowded too far over the center of the highway and caused a nasty collision. She was talking earnestly io her dancing partner during the interval. "Tell me, Mr. Mason. Why is it that vou've remained a bachelor so long?" she asked. He laughed lightly.
