Centre of all eyes in the big ship- ping shed were the combatant- prisoners," army officers and men in green uniforms, blue-clad avia- tors with their colorful tunic adorn- ments, U-boat and tank crews, and the newest of modern warflare's amazing developments -- parachute troops in black leather trousers and jackets. Their uniforms' bore no insignia. Officer-prisoners received the military consideration due their rank. Last off the ship, they were immediately preceded by a fatigue party of their own non-commission- ed officers and privates to gather their baggage and carry it to wait- ing trains. The officers ranged in rank from 8 colonel to lieutenants. Many wore decoration. One flying officer wore the Iron Cross, which British guards said had been awarded him only a few hours before he was shot down. Not backward about expressing his opinions, one of them told a Briton: "You English have no sys- tem whatever, We should have been off this ship hours ago." Salutes Exchanged Nazi type salutes were absent, but many an army salute was ex- changed by authorities in khaki and the German officers and men. A young non-commissioned offi- cer of the Nazi air force, stationed near his officers' luggage, snapped smartly to attention when address- ed by a Canadian major, He con- versed smilingly in halting Eng- lish for a few minutes and then aluted as the major took his leave. e salute was promptly returned. British officers said the prisoners d been captured in France, the Countries and in Norway and ed that some had expressed selves as "Quite pleased" to e embattled Europe. When the ship left for Canada, the prisoners were told they were "Going on a five-hour boat "trip," . because authorities believed it was "pest to leave them in the dark as to our real destination." One officer said: "The real danger was the presence aboard of 80 many merchant seamen, who would have been quite capable of ndling the ship if they could got control." He believed that p of these men, familiar with St. Lawrence River, might e guessed the ship's true destin- bn during the final stages of the age. "Fliers Said Arrogant Little trouble, said the officer, was caused by the army men, "but those flying fellows are an arrog- ant lot--they called us swine near- ly every chance they got on the way over." A "Some of those merchant seamen and internees were a bit particular, too," another officer said. "They've been complaining that the march- ing of the sentries aboard kept them awake at night. i A number of the civijan prison- ers had cloth circles sewid into the back of their coats, used in British internment camps as identifying marks, and some carried) British gas masks. "You won't need those overyere," ain "in one month's time" was in the hands of Hitler and Canaxia and the rest of the Empire were not too distant prizes. The good-natured Tommies and the ship's crew smiled tolerantly. One mild-mannered British en- gineer observed these young bullies are typical of the Nazi Germany which faces Britain scross the Channel. Hitler had snatched then at a tender age seven years ago and had allowed them to learn only what was necessary for his plan of world domination. "Aye, they are a bad lot and there's no doubt of it," the en- gineer commented. But his own se nseof fairness prompted him to put in hastily that, "of course, there were good 'uns, too." There were Germans who had lived in England for some time, and who had neglected to apply for British citizenship. One said he had two sons serving in the British Army, but he accepted his fate with a shrug and told the crew he was all for rounding up the pos- sible subversive elements, even though some innocents were taken, so that England would be there for him to live in when the war Is over. Frown on Behavior Then there were the captains of some of Germany's famous passen- ger liners of prewar years, cap~ tured while on transport ships off Norway, Like most of the other German merchant seamen aboard, they accepted their fate philoso- phically emd frowned on the be- havior of their young compatriots. When the ship docked at Mon- treal, the German mercantile mar- ine captains made the rounds of the British officers and crew offer- ing thanks for kindness and courtesy shown them, ©On the other hand most of the young Nazis, just before they strode off the ship, tore to shreds, the masks which had been given them as protectio ainst possible German gas shell attacks. These gas masks were to have been returned to England to replenish civillap supplies. The attitude of the German sea- men won the appreciation of the prisonship crew, and they spared no efforts to make them comfortable. But, they said, the young Ger- mans adopted the swashbuckling air of pirates temporarily in irons, but with the prospect of escape smd plunder in the offing. Bragged About Navy The prisoners didn't hide their amazement when they found the ship sailed without escort. They had been bragging that Admiral Raed- er's navy, augmented by the Italian fleet, hed swept the British Navy from the seas. When they saw the ship appar- ently had a contempt for Admiral Raeder, they adopted a new line They warned jeeringly that Ger- man naval units would soon deliver them to fight egain for Hitler, This boast became less vociferous as the voyage drew to a close.

Prize Car Bumped The new Chevrolet car, which is to be sold this evening at the Osh- awa Kinsmen Jamboree, received a traffic initiation today at noon, when a car travelling esst bearing license 347 D 4 rubbed fenders with it. The Kinsmen car was parked on the north side of King street just east of the Simcoe street interseo-, tion, when the slight accident oc- curred. Two small dents were put into the left front femder of the Chevrolet while the other car re- ceived a small streak of light paint on its right front fender. It was im- mediately rushed to the garage for paint retouching.

Cousins will be grieved to learn of her passing early this mor- ning at the family residence, 624 Simcoe Street North, A patient suf- ferer for some time, she bore the allment with g fortitude and re- signment, coupled with a hope and optimism which perhaps gave her many more months of lif¢ with her husband and one daughter, Shirley, Born in East Whitby Township, | was dismiss police court this morning after % considerable con- flicting evidence had begn heard. The alleged assault togk' place at Palmer's Supertest Service -Station, and climaxed in several altercations which had taken place between the two South Simcoe Street men over a certain plate-glass window. Pale mer testified that about a year ago he ordered the glass from Bate- man who runs a hardware store near' the service station, but as It arrived in pieces he refused to pay for it. He went on to recount how Bateman had threatened him, using abusive and foul language, on one occasion about four months ago, again on a Rotary Fair night, and also on the morning in question, to whom the sympathy of many in Oshawa goes out in their sad be- reavement. ' Born, at Chatham, Ont, Lula Verna Chrysler married Clifford L. Cousing and Mr. Cousins came to Oshawa in 1925, and his wife fol- lowed him here the following year. In May, 1938, they moved to Hamil. ton and Mr. Cousins was transferred back to Oshawa in August, 1939. She was a member of Knox Pres- byterlan Church and an active worker in the Women's Association and also in the choir, Her hospitable home was ever open and she was a charming hostess for both social and church events. Besides the bereaved husband and daughter, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. R. A Chrysler, Chat- ham, three sisters, Mrs. Atkinson, in England, Mr. Charter, New York, Mrs. Menninger, Chatham, and three brothers, Roy, Norman and Herbert Chrysler, all of Chatham, The body is resting at the funeral parlors of the Luke Burial pany, 67 King Street East, until Thursday, July 4, when the funeral service will be held there at 2.00 o'clock p.m., with the Rev.

Interment to follow at St. John's Norway Cemetery, Toronto. June 19. On June 19 he claimed to be seated in his office when attack- ed by Bateman, who was allegedly using g policeman's billy. According to his story, Palmer seized an iron pipe for his own defense, phoned the police, and accompanied Bate- man toward the street, trying to hold him by conversation until po- lice arrived. Bateman testified that he had seen the glass a day after it ar- rived, at which time it was in two pieces. He claimed he had never used any foul language to Palmer, and on June 19 had gone over to see Palmer as he had an opportun- ity to sell the glass. He denied hav- ing a blackjagk or any similar wea- Com- | HOLIDAY PROGR AN AT PICKERING IS LARGELY ATTENDED | Baseball Tournament Wen by Audley--Calithumpian Parade Features Pickering, July 2.--All roads led to the Pickering Memorial Park yesterday for the annual Dominion Day celebration, sponsored by the Men's Community Club, which was attended by g crowd of nearly 1,500, Beginning with a calithumpian parade, which this year was feat- ured by patriotic entries, the after- noon was given over to a full pro- gram of sports, including foot races for all ages, cross-country bicycle race and tug-o-war.
