PAGE TEN po------------ i 1 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1940 BATTALION WILL PARADE THROUGH BUSINESS AREA (Continued from Page 1) from the park to Elgin, east on Elgin to Mary, south on Mary to aKing, west on King to Church, north on Church to Bond, east on Bond to Simcoe and north on Sim- coe to the Armouries. After the re- turn to the Armouries final orders and instructions for the trip to ,Camp Niagara will be issued. Church Parade Later While the Whitby company and the detachment now at camp will not march Friday night, Lt.-Col. Smith is planning for a church pa- rade for the entire battalion short- ly after the battalion returns from camp. On that occasion the Whithy company will be brought to Oshawa to particivate in the church parade along with the entire enlisted strength of the unit. Should rain prevent the route march, Friday night's parade and inspection will take place entirely within the Armouries, Regardiess of weather conditions, the officer commanding is anxious that every Oshawa member of the unit attend Friday's parade. Last night "B" and "C"" Com- panies staged their customary com- pany parades following which all men were issued kit bags in which to carry their personal effects to camp. All ranks have received bat- tledress uniforms which are now re- quired for all parades. Both officers and men will be required to wear the battledress to camp. MOTORGYGLIST 13 ORDERED TO PAY ~ DAMAGES T0 CAR (Continued from Page 1) the collision took place near the centre of the car tracks. His leg was jammed between the motorcycle and the car, cerusing soreness which pre- vented him from working normally for ten days. He pushed his motor- cycle out of the way, and came over to speak to Harris, who had not yet left the car. The latter took the in- jured man to Dr. McKibbon and &l- legedly informed the doctor that he would "look after" the expenses. Zimmermen showed an estimate of damage to his machine amounting to $16.75, but stated that he had not had this work done, having fixed the motorcycle himself so that it would "just run." He had subse- quently approached Harris about paying for the repeirs, at which time the latter offered him $2. Harris said he made this offer "just to help him out." On August 13 Harris received a letter concerning the matter from Louis Hyman, counsel for Zimmer- man, and on the same day contact- ed his own lawyer, J. P. Mangan. He commenced action against the motorcyclist for damage to his own car on August 16. Soldier Testifies Officer Harvey investigated the accident and appeared to give evi- dence in court this morning in army uniform. He was formerly & mem- ber of the Oshawa Police Force, but has joined His Majesty's Forces. He pointed out that the road was wet at the time of the accident. He testified that there was a yard-long skid-mark made by H=rris" car two or three feet west of the west ear track. Miss Mary Harris, a passenger in the car, Mr, Stevens of Stevens' Garage, and Mr. Kennedy, who ob- served the accident from the rooms of the Motorcycle Club, 4 Simcoe street south, also testified. Counsel for the defendent alleged that Heuris did not stop at the in- tersection, but at the stop sign, which stands five or six feet back from the intersection. At this point he claimed that a clear and suf- ficient view of the road could be gained. The old railway building, now demolished, figured in a discus sion at this point. Miss Harris testi- fied thet her father had continued to look after he had proceeded out into Simcoe street a little. Judge Coleman ruled that Zim- merman should have seen the car before he got to within ten feet of it, and awarded damages to the plaintiff for the full smount. His front left fender and steering were damaged. This is the first Division Couxi held since Col. R. B. Smith gave up his position as Division Court Clerk to take over military duties. Mrs. Smith has been appointed Acting Clerk. . BRODKLIN LAD GIVEN A CHANCE INWHTBY COURT (Continued from Page 1) although it was all genuine Cana- dian currency. "Bokolo told me that someone had passed the bill on him and he in- tended to pass !t on to someone else," stated the Chief, Defense counsel A. W. S. Greer made a strong plea fcr leniency on the grounds that Bokolo's offense had been merely the result of a na- tural impulse rather than any pre- meditated criminal intent. He also pointed out to the court that ac- cused was the sole cupport of his mother and sister and had an older brother who had enlisted with the active service forces. "The fact that the offense in- volved these three young boys is the most serious aspect," observed the Crown. Claiming that the accused acted on natural impulse, defense counsel observed, "It would probably have occurred to my friend the Crown Counsel and myself only we would have choked it down. The natural impulse of anyone who has been fooled i= to fool someone else." After giving the accused a warn- ing, Magistrate Ebbs placed him on suspended sentence for one year, "I'm still waiting for the day when someone making a business of this thing appears in this court. It seems there is someone passing these bills around," remarked the cadi. EXHIBITOR PUTY ».

LEAFLET RAIDS DUE IN CANADA NEXT HONDAY (Continued from Page 1) dian Club luncheons in various cities throughout Canada and urge Canadians to support the second war loan. The first war loan, launched with little ceremony last January, was for $200,000,000 but was oversub- scribed by about $60,000,000. Military Displays Planned Keynote of nearly a fortnight of demonstrations will be sounded at the luncheon speeches, where armed guards of the Army, Navy and Alr Force will be in attendance. For the remainder of the war loan campaign, which will continue until about Sept. 15, displays of the Do- minion's growing might on land, sea and in the air will be the order of the day. Eighteen Royal Canadian naval voluntary reserve stations, ten army command stations, and six air com- mand stations will take part in the extensive demonstrations. Sand- bagged emplacements, machine-gun pits and other practical displays will be constructed by the soldiers in public squares just as if the local- ity were expecting an immediate at- tack. At these stations the public may watch changing of the guard and other military ceremony. Other details of the armed forces co-operation in putting across the Finance Department's second war loan were revealed by the official. At tomorrow's luncheon at Toronto where Munitions Minister Howe will speak, Flight-Lieutenant Wallace Barton of Lindsay, who entered the RAF. in 1938 and recently took an active part in the evacuation of Dunkirk, will be present. Band to Give Concerts At Saskatoon Lieutenant-Govern- or A. P. McNab, father of Squadron Leader Ernest McNab, young Cana- dian ace who is one of the R.CA. F.'s crack airmen overseas, will in- | troduce Air Marshal Bishop. Also in connection with the war | loan, the Royal Canadian Navy | Band of Halifax, an eighty-pilece | unit, said to be one of the finest in | Canada's armed services, will travel | west next week to give concerts in | Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. Two posters urging Canadians to | support the war loan feature a tank | such as now being constructed in | Canadian plants, and an anti-sub- marine vessel typical of those which have been launched at Canadian | ports this summer. A cartoon drive will be featured in newspapers, in which about a dozen of Canada's leading cartoon- ists will contribute their best "half- tones" and the "line cuts" for the | Finance Department's new loan. | | | WHITBY PASTOR T0 BE INDUCTED | Whitby, Ontario, September 3.-- Rev.

LONDON ACCLAIMS DESTROYER DEAL AS PRACTICAL AID (Continued from Page 1) quire the fifty destroyers, the offi- cial statement said: "They are needed for convoy work, dealing with submarines, and keeping open the sea channels through which pass the imports and exports between Britain and the Americas and other parts of the world. "Their transfer is of exceptional value at this time in supplementing Britain's present strength before destroyers now under construction enter service." Britain will give the destroyers new names when they change na- tionality. They were said to be "in good condition, requiring no alter- ations," and hence ready to be thrown into the Empire's front line of defense at once. Used Same as British Authorities said that a decision on the specific use to which they would be put would be reached later. In any event, they said, the destroyers "will be used in the same way as British destroyers" Britain will send for the destroy- ers and bring them to the United Kingdom with British crews. The territories leased to the United States will be - under the American flag, and the United States will have complete authority over the areas for the duration of the lease, officials sald. Atked whether British ships would be allowed to use the bases, a spokesman said: "The bases will become like the United States' own bases, and their will be arranged by common agreement." The British stressed the belief that the United States, by acquir- ing the bases, had strengthened her defenses in the area of the Panama Canal. The agreement involved no trans- fer of sovereignty. The administra- tions of the territories affected were consulted and concurred in the proposal to lease the bases to the United States, it was said. A spokesman said that the con- clusion of the negotiations was "greeted with the greatest satisfac. tion by the British Government and all peoples of the Common- wealth." Keeps Foe Outside En Route With President Roose- velt to Washington, Sept. 4 --Presi- dent Roosevelt feels that the chief value of the trade with Great Brit- ain of fifty over-age destroyers for naval and air base sites in British Crown colonies in the Western Hempisphere lies in the fact that this outer line of defenses will keep any enemy away from this coun- try's front door. For that reason he listed his per- sonal agreement with the British Government, taken without either the assent or even the general knowledge of Congress, as being in some ways more important for the defense of this country than the Louisiana purchase. which assured American military control over the Mississippl River. ! There may be other similar nego- tiations, he added, but he cautioned commentators not to try to guess where they would be, listing the odds at 10 to 1 that such guesses would be wrong. The President's own view of the deal, which has been known to be in progress for several weeks, but which met with declinations to comment in response to all recent questions, was given at a special press conference on his private train at the same hour that his of- fices in Washington sent to Con- gress a message to the effect that the trade was a fait accompli and that, while he was telling Congress about it, he considered the negotia- tions as closed. A dozen newspaper reporters !ls- tened while Mr. Roosevelt read them the text of the message to Congress, which he completed after beginning last Sunday a trip from Hyde Park to Tennessee and West Virginia. He read the message after laughingly, telling them that there was no story for them, as the whole document with supporting papers was being made public in Washing- ton. New Internment Camp Commandant Appointed Ottawa, Sept. 3.--Col. H. de N, Watson, commandant of the Alberta internment camp, has taken up temporary duties at an internment camp in the Muskoka area of On- tario, it was made known at the De- fense Department last night. Colonel H. S. B. Grassett, com- mandant of the Muskoka camp, is carrying on other duties at the camp. It was understood here that Colonel Watson would not remain at the Muskoka camp nor return to his old post in the Alberta camp, but would take over some other duty at a later date and a new com- mandant will be named for the Al- berta camp, ; 4 ' AY (ITY BUILDING IN WAR EFFORT WORK (Continued trom Page 1) partment of National Defence agreed to leave all partitions which had been installed while the build- ing was used as barracks with the Council assuming the cost of re- pairing broken window panes. The partitions left by the military authorities have been found of con- siderable value in equipping the Welfare Department in its new quarters, Certain wiring installed by the military officials was also left undisturbed. The General Motors lease is as of August 19, while the Oshawa Wood Products lease is dated Aug- ust 13. Signing of the latter's lease was authorized by Council with the passing of the necessary by-law. A similar by-law covering the General Motors lease is to be prepared by the City Solicitor. OSHAWA, WHITBY COUNCILS WOULD ASSIST REGIMENT (Continued from Page 1) lion was more deserving of aid in- asmuch as the men in the C ASF. battalion received a higher rate of pay than the N.P.AM. battalion, with living allowances going to the families and dependents of the C.A. S.F. soldiers. Militia soldiers, on the other hand, are giving much time to military training, in addi- tion to leaving their positions com- pletely for two weeks. Ald. E. E. Bathe came to bat for the C.AS.F. sol- diers, declaring that men of the | First Battalion are making the greater sacrifice, having giving up | jobs completely, accepting military | pay which in many cases is far less | than NP.AM. men are receiving regularly while at work. The rela- | tive service given by both CASF.| and N.P.AM. soldiers should be | given serious consideration in com- | mittee he urged. | Ald. Clifford Harman sponsored the idea that recognition for the | Ontario Regiment band for winning the C.N.E. championship for the | third successive year should also be | considered. immediately Whitby, Ontario, September 3.-- | In answer to an appesl by Caut. | ing "D"" Company of the 2nd Bat- talion, Ontario Regiment N.P.AM., a special delegation was named by town council at its first fall meet- ing on Tuesday night to visit Queen's Park on Wednesday to seek permission to make a grant out of town funds to the company. Capt. McIntyre, in asking council for a grant of $200, explained that there are many members of the company who are not financially able to buy boots and other neces- sary equipment not included in the government issue. There is an im- mediate need for financial assist- | ance, he stressed, and many will face two week's training in unless funds are forthcoming with- | in the next few days. "It is certainly a surprise to me to know that the government does | not issue full equipment to all these men who joined up in the militia," Mayor F. T. Rowe declared when old the men have to buy their | own boots, socks and underwear. | Capt. McIntyre pointed out also that while the men have all been | issued the new battle dress uniform, many of them need to have the uniforms altered to fit properly be- fore they go to camp next week. This cost will have to be borne by the men themselves, and many of them are not able to do so. "We need the money at any time, but we need it urgently now before we go to camp," Capt. McIntyre stressed. "There is also a certain amount of recreational equipment that should be acquired that we have no means of getting." It wes mentioned in council that Ontario County Council had allotted to the town a fund of some $1600 to be administered for war services. This money, however, Is to be given out only to services that are approved and registered under the War Charities Act, and "D" company of the 2nd Batt. Ont. Regt. iz not officially listed as one of the approved services. Admitting that the County Fund could not be used for a grant to the regiment, Capt. McIntyre sug- gested that $200 be allotted out of the general rate. While Council was unanimous in its desire to assist the local unit, it was again pointed out that even general funds could not be dispensed in this way without approval of the Department of Municipal Affairs, It was decided to seek instruction from the department as to how a grant could be arranged. With the urgency of the situa- tion placed before council by Capt. McIntyre, it was. decided that a delegation should attend at Queen's FREE! with the purchase of a new Sparton Combination Radio Phonograph An Album of Columbia Classical Records or 10 Hit Parade Popular Records Don Christian ELECTRIC 38 SIMCOE ST.
