THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1940 PACE THREE 'Oldsmobile Hydromatic Drive Eliminates Clutch GENERAL MOTORS ANNOUNCE 'THREE SERIES TO MOTORING PUBLIC TODAY Important and Proven Me- chanical Improvements Incorporated in the 1941 Models on Display at On- tario Motor Sales LONGER AND WIDER Wing-Type Fenders, Con- cealed Running Boards. Luxurious Interiors With New Instrument Panel Features New Olds. Offering the widest variety in its 43 years of consistent progress Old- mobile for 1941 is introducing to the Canadian motoring public three offers the choice of the six-cylin- der Special Series; in the next Series of automobiles. In the low price field, Oldsmobile bracket the six-cylinder Dynamic Cruiser, and in the next field an eight-cylinder Custom Cruiser Ser- fes. All these lines are officially an- nounced today by General Motors Products of Canada Limited. A model of each series is on display at the*Ontario Motor Sales, 86 King Street east. Particular attention again at- taches to the sensational and ex- clusive Hydramatic drive that elim- inates clutch, clutch pedal and gearshift. This year, this feature is optional on ithe entire range of Oldsmobile cars in all series. Important and proven mechanic- al improvements of recent years haxe been refined and incorporated along with scores of new advance- ments in the new 1941 models. In- spection reveals increased roomi- ness, greater comfort and the strik- ing beauty of the sweeping con- tours. The long, low arching sweep from win ld to rear bumper suggests speed, grace and dignity. Front End Redesigned The entire front and design is rendered more effective and at- tractive by the use of heavier chrome bars and grille work, while sparkling metal speed lines carry back along the fenders and follow the body moulding at the e of the door handleg. Stainless steel also sparkles round the windows and accentuates another feature-- the concealed running boards. Only when the car doors are open are these new running boards visible, the bottom of the doors curving down and out in a graceful sweep to hide them. Not only is this fea- ture designed to facilitate entry and exit, but an added advantage is that these boards are covered when the doors are closed and conse- quently will not collect snow or ice. Careful attention has been given also to the design of the bumpers which, are now an integral part of the car, streamlined, ipto the curves of the body and fenders. While providing the maximum protection against traffic mishaps, these bumpers alse create ar immediate impression of sturdiness and se- curity. Blending "into the body like the folded wings of a bird," the new front fenders, known as the "wing- type," represent an important con- tribution to the stately all-round appearance of the new Oldsmobiles, for they have lost all semblance of separate units. Longer and Wider The -roominess of the new cars is more than an impression, accord- ing to engineers, who point out that the new 'models are definitely lar- ger. The Special Series has been increased by a full six inches In over-all length, being now 204 in- ches, while the wheelbase has been extended to 119 inches. The Dyn- amic Cruiser has been brought up the Custom Cruiser, with an over- all length of 211 inches. The Cus- to equal the 125 inch wheelbase of tom Cruiser now has an overall length of 213 inches. On all models the widened rear tread of 61% in- ches, 2% inches wider than on the 1940 models, provides greater width in the rear seats -- an important comfort factor. 3 Matching the exterior beauty of the new cars, the interiors of the all-steel Fisher Bodies reveal new luxury and convenience down to the last detail. A particularly handsome new instrument panel is featured this year. Instrument dials are symmetrically grouped and are readily visible from the driver's seat, while heavy horizontal chrome bars encase the radio installation. Throughout, hardware combines the use of chrome and colorful plastic. Three options in upholstery material are offered, while the new type of spring construction in the seats assures the maximum com- fort. Horsepower Increased The horsepower of the six-cylin- der Special Series has been stepped up from 95 to 100, while the eight- cylinder, with 110 horsepower is de- signed to provide flashing all-round performance, Choice of Ten Cars The six-cylinder Special Series offers a 2-door touring sedan, a 4- door touring sedan .and a club coupe. The Dynamic Cruiser Series includes a 4-door sedan and club sedan. The eight-cylinder Custom Cruisers are offered in 4-door tour- ing sedan, convertible coupe, con- vertible phaeton and club. coupe.

This street is the boundary line between the city and township, and the upkeep of its roadway has always presented difficulties, with the result that the road has generally been in a very poor condition. . The reference in the letter pub- lished herewith is to an application from the Oshawa Arena for assist- | ance in the paving of the roadway between their building and King | Street. The letter follows: Editor, Times: Dear Sir: I note with interest your front page article: an appeal for finan- cial assistance in paving a private roadway. What next? I have bezr: informed repeatedly by the City and Township Adminis- trators that there are no funds | available for public road construc- | tion or repair. The committees | named in your report and appoint- ed by the City Council to investi- | gate are evidently on the point of | recommending this outrage. The only legal stumbling block, "private ownership", may or will be | overcome and the problem solved | easily, Simple, isn't it? | Now to get at our problem--Park | Rd. North from King St. We have | approached the City and Township Councils and their engineers, past and present, individually and col- lectively, for many years. We have presented petitions signed by Tesi- | dents and taxpayers without result, | and finally this year we were as- | | sured that the road would be grav- | elled and made safe for public traffic, Still no action. What next? I would humbly suggest that when the City can provide safe public roads for its people will be time enough to accept responsibility and the added lability of private lanes.

Ebbs in Oshawa Police Court today marked the trial of W, Addyman, Peterboro, who appeared on a charge of not complying with Highway Traffic regulations with respect to the conditicn of brakes on his firm's transport vehicles, particularly in this case, in the matter of the air brake connection between the tractor and trailer. Investigation was made at Pick- ering about 3 p.m. October 5, by Provincial Constable Runciman, Pickering. The driver of the truck at that time did not appear in court as a witness. Prosecution was conducted by Mr. Runciman whose cross exam- ination of the accused when testi- fled under oath was effective. In addition to being silenced, by Magistrate Ebbs, Mr. Addyman had been warned to restrain him- self, during giving of evidence by Mr. Runciman, by Chief Constable O. D. Friend, Mr. Addyman explained that this was his first appearance in any police. court. Fine of $10 and costs was im- posedposed by the court and paid by the accused. Deserted Car Found In Marsh East of Hampton Bowmanville, Nov. 1.--Early this week the Challis Garage was call- ed upon to do an unusual wreck- ing job. In a thickly wooded, marshy spot east of Hampton a car was found which had appar- ently been run in there several months ago by thieves. It was Chrysler 1940 model and had been stripped. of all accessories, even li- cense plates, So well hidden it was, that the discovery was made only by chance and its 'removal was difficult. Po- lice are now on the trial of the thieves, y & * TORONTO WOMAN 13 GIVEN OPTION FINE OR TERM IN JAIL { Convicted in Local Court on Charge of Reckless Driving Mrs. Cecil Beames, 717 St. Clar- ens Avenue, Toronto, was fined $10 and costs and given the option of | ten days in jail on conviction this morning in Oshawa Police Court of careless driving on the evening of October 14, near Oshawa, when the car which she was driving, carrying four passengers including her hus- band, struck a Martin Transport truck driven by H. R. Grice, Toron- to. Due to that accident, Samuel A. Bailey, Toronto, was later seri- ously injured when his car struck the wreckked Martin truck. Mr. Bailey, with his right arm still in a sling, was arraigned on a charge of reckless driving dated from the early morning hours of Oct. 15. He pleaded not guilty and the case was adjourned until Nov. 6, after hearing a few of the witnesses, Testimony of Willow Avenue, Toronto, who was near the scene of the initial acci- dent involving Mrs. Beames and the Martin Transport vehicle, cor- roborated evidence of Mr. driver of the truck, who testified that he was driving with the wheels on one side well onto the shoulder so that Mrs. Beames might avoid a collision.

"After a fair trial and an able defense you have been found guilty of wilful murder of Arnold Well- man," Mr. Justice MecKay told Thain before passing sentence. "It is not for me to aggravate your feelings, but I must say it was a cruel and inhuman murder. I be- lieve you should make your peace with God.' "Thank you," replied Thain, and, without any sign of emotion, he was led from the court room by two Provincial Police «fficers. Thain was charged with the dou- ble murder of Mr. and Mrs Arnold Wellman on Jan. 31, 1940, when he killed the aged couple by shooting SCX p-- Men Among Graduating Nurses at Ontario Hospital at Whitby Blazing a new trail in the annals of Ontario medicine, six young men ! are included in the 1940 graduating class of the Ontario Hospital Training | Loyola DeMarsh, Niagara Falls; lock; Isabelle McQuigge, Havelock; Percy Clarke, Embro, School for Nurses at Whitby for the first time. to this group Wednesday night in a ceremony attended by officials of the Department of Health, Left to right, front row: Anna Grant, Cresswell; Ruby Steele, Delta; Miss R.

The crimes were committed be- tween 3:30 and 4 am. on Jan. 31. The previous night, Thain had stolen a number of bags of grain from the Wellman farm and had left the grain on his sleigh on a side road. The next day, after pur- chasing some shells, he ' walked across to the cow stable on the Wellman farm and shot Mr. Well- man as he was about to sit down and milk a cow. "I made a good job of it, I gave him both barrels," he told an inmate of the jail. "I then went to the house and shot Mrs. Wellman." "There are only three verdicts that you can bring in' Mr. Justice MacKay advised the jury. "The first ic 'guilty,' the second 'not guilty,' and the third 'not guilty on the ground of insanity.' I must draw your attention to the fact that there was not one witness called by the Crown or the defense who said the accused was insane at the time the crime was committed." "A verdict of manslaughter can- stated. "The very abomination of this your verdict,' sald the judge. R.

"Two old people were murdered," said Cecil L. Snyder, Deputy Attorney-Genera', in his address to the jury.

B. Coleman of Ontario County Court, Whitby, chairman of the Oshawa Police Commission, en- dorsed the parking meter system now being used in Sudbury as something that might be studied for use in Oshawa at the session of the city's police board. Formal ap- proval was given, on motion of | Mayor Anderson, seconded by Mag- istrate Ebbs, to having a parking ticket penalty system worked out for Oshawa in line with that in use in Toronto and, at present, being put into effect at Kingston. Mayor Anderson authorized Chief Constable Friend to work out the details of a parking ticket penalty system which would conform to local conditions and keep within the law. The Toronto system, as most mot- orisis know, permits violators of parking limits to pay a flat penalty | fee at special city hall offices with- in 48 hours of motorists being serv- ed notice of violations. Information in each case is in the hands of the police, but charges are not laid un- less the motorist guilty of over- parking fails to report. Toronto, it was pointed out, pays the entire salary of its magistrates. The, over-parking penalty fee is, in effect an excess rental charge for use of the streets, which the city | owns, and not fines. Due to that argument, which has never been tested in competent courts, all the | penalty fee receipts go to the mu- nicipal treasurer of Toronto. Chief Friend asked that payment | of overparking penalties be made to | designated city or court officials in- | stead of to police. He pointed out | that he wanted to avoid the extra | clerical work and to make sure that | no citizen would find that, by coin- | cidence, he was paying a penalty fee to the constable who laid an infor- mation. Authority to make arrangements suggested by the chief constable was granted. Penalty notices to | parking limit violators will tell whom to pay and when. War Guest Adopted by Oshawa Scout Troop | Editor, Daily Times. Sir: It was prought to my knowledge item concerning a Toronto Scout Troop who had adopted a war guest into their troon. 1 believe the item claimed this troop was the first to do such a thing. . This fact, I think, errs a little because there is a local troop of Boy Scouts, to wit, the 5th Oshawa Troop who adopted a young Pritish war guest about 8 weeks ago. The i reason I bring this fact to your no- tice is because I believe in credit where credit is theirs, and the 5th Oshawa Troon most surely deserve credit in this respect, and we, this war guest's temporary parents, ap+ preciate this troop's patriotic -ac- tion so much. We desire they re- | celve due credit. Yours truly, MRS. A. E. KEAY. OPPORTUNITY SHOP | Would you like to get a good | kitchen table with draws and bins, | a sewing machine or some nice chairs?

Criminal Charges Ordered For Hit-and-Run Drivers as Ontario's Toll Increases ; Law - enforcement officers throughout Ontario last night were directed by Attorney-General Con- ant to charge all hit-and-run driv- ers under the Criminal Code, as he laid down first steps in a campaign to curb the mounting traffic death rate, In his memorandum the Attor- ney-General made slight reserva- tion when he said Criminal Code charges, which bring a fine of $500 or six months imprisonment, should be laid "whenever there is reason- able justification for such proceed- ure, He added: "It is only by bringing hit-and-run drivers to justice and | severely punishing them that this | most despicable crime can be sup- pressed" . . . and "the court should be urged to impose the maximum penalty that the law allows" when accident conyictions are secured Under the Highwav Traffic Act a penalty of from $25 to $100 fine, with an ontional prison term of up to thirty days, may be imposed for failure to return to the scene of an accident and render all nossible assistance and leave identification. Under the terms of the Criminal Code fines up to $500 and prison terms up to six months are statu- tory for failure to ston and "with | intent to escape lability" drive on | without tendering assistance and | giving name and address.

In the first seven months of this year there were 8400 traffic accidents im the Province,--an increase of 21.4 per cent over the same period last year, This alarming situation makes it necessary for every law enforcement officer in the province to renew and increase his efforts to prevent traffic accidents and to bring offenders to justice, .particu= larly where there has been a fatale ity or where a hit-and-run driver is involved, Attorney-General G. D. Conant states in a memorandum to all law enforcement officers, In a memorandum dated 'May 15th, 1939, the Attorney-General stated: "It must be borne in mind that where a life has been taken or serious injury inflicted a grave responsibility rests upon every law enforcement officer to prose- cute the person responsible there= for fairly, fearlessly and aggres~ sively having regard to all the facts and circumstances."
