Phone 703, All Departments SIX ACCIDENTS IN WHITBY AREA OVER WEEKEND Fifteen Vehicles Involved In Many ' Weekend Accidents One of the busiest periods in some time was experi- enced by Whitby and Provincial Police during the week- end when six accidents were reported to police between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. A total of 15 vehicles in all were involved in the collisions and four » persons required medical attention following the accidents although none were reported to be in serious condition: 'Several vehicles were extensively damaged as a result of * the accidents, three of which occurred on Saturday and three on Sunday.

Police _ estimated that damage to the vehi- " rle would amount to some $300. The second accident reported to police on Saturday occured on Brock St. N. at the foot of Rice's Hill, and it involved three vehicles. ' tby police, who investigated . the accident, stated that a truck, . owned by the Whitby Dairy and being driven south on Brock 8t. by John Eastwood, came to a stop be- hind two other vehicles also facing . in a southerly direction. The truck ; was at a standstill when a car, also proceeding south and being driven by Dr. McKinney, Brooklin, slid into the rear of the truck. A second truck also going south and being driven by C. Love, Port Perry, in 'attempting to avoid the vehicles * originally involved in the accident, 'went out of control and slewed across the street where it became in a deep snowbank. Damage to the Whitby Dalry truck and the doctor's automobile was described as fairly heavy by police but no one wag injured in the accident, At the time of the mis- hap the roads were in a slippery condition and a fierce blimard was in progress. An hour and a half later, Provin- cial Police Constable Gordon Keast, Oshawa detachment, wag called to the scene of a head-on collision on No. 12 Highway about 2 miles north of Greenbank. In addition to the two cars involved two trucks also tangled at the scene making this the second multi-vehicle accident within a few hours.

At 1240 a.m. Sunday, also on No. 2 Highway, just west of the Whitby town limits, a second accident was reported to police which resulted in extensive damage to the two cars involved but all passengers escaped injury. Provincial Constable Gordon Keast stated that a car being driven east by Chestley Sharpe, Toronto, sideswiped a car proceeding west being driven by Henry Ruszozek, also of Toronto.

NOW PLAYING Last Complete Show at 8.10 IDA LUPINO PAUL HENREID ~via OE HAVILLAND GREENSTREET || ment at the time of the burglary. Legionnaires Markham Here Tonight 'The Whitby Legionnaires, local Intermediate "B" entry in the OH. A, swing into action this evening at Taylor's Arena against a very highly rated crew of hockeyists from Markham. The gamé will mark the start of yet another two game, home and home, total goals to count series for the Whitby crew in their quest for top Inter- mediate "B" honours in the Prov- ince. Whitby qualified for the series with their dramatic win over Oshawa Legion on Saturday after- noon while Markham made the grade by putting Trenton Flyers out in their two-game set-to. Officials of the Whitby team are confident that the Legionnaires will emerge from the game with a sub- stantial margin but up until a late hour today they were wondering whether the ice would be firm and in good playing shape. All members of the team were at a hard-skating and shooting prac- tice held yesterday afternoon and indications are that the boys are in good shape for tonight's contest. Coaclh Doug Maundrell said today that all members of the team are in good physical shape with the ex- ception of Johnny Heard who ia still suffering from a badly frac- tured hand. With the Legionnaires being the only team left to represent Whitby it is expected that a sellout crowd will attend tonight's contest at the Arena and if the club can get a few more gates they expect to break even on the season. This fact has been a source of pleasure to club officials who were worrying about the financial condition of the club. It is believed that there are only six more teams left in the Inter mediate "B" loop and that the semi-finals will be played within the next two weeks with the final following one week later. The Legionnaires figure that if they can get past Markham they will have fairly smooth coasting on into the championship bracket but the fact remains that they have fhe Markham series still to play. If the team gets the same support tonight as they received Saturday afternoon club officials say that the team can't possibly lose. Nab Suspect, He Swallows Evidence Montreal, March 17--(CP)--Prov- incial police have arrested a for- mer policeman who posed as a pro- vincial government representative selling liquor permits shortly after he had "sold" a permit for $500 to a customer he thought was a Rouyn, Que. hotel manager. The hotel manager turned out to be a provincial detective, who with two other. detectives, had set a trap for the man at an east-end hotel, The cheque the disguised de- tective handed the man was lost, however, as he apparently swallow= ed it during a scuffle with the de- tectives. Police gave the suspect's name as Marcel Viens. They said he was recently released from jall on a ticket-of-leave after serving time for a $3200 fraud charge last year. He is scheduled to be ar- raljgned in criminal court today. They said at least 12 complaints had been received from throughout the province on deals which Viens had negotiated. Identifies Voice Wins $17,590 Hollywood, Calif., March 17--(AP) --Mrs. Willlam McCormick, house- wife, won $17,690 in a radio contest Saturday night after she answered a broadcast telephone call and iden- tified "Mrs, Hush" ag Clara Bow, onetime screen "it" girl. Contestants had to write on the subject, "we should all support the March of Dimeg because. . ." and three win- ners then received telephone calls |" giving them the opportunity to iden- tify ""Mrs. Hush," code name given to a well-known figure whose voice was heard on the program eight Saturday nights. Wasn't Burglar But GameLookout | -------- Chicago, March 17--(AP)--Ernest Pilot, 24, was acquitted by a crim- inal court jury of a burglary charge after he and six witnesses testified | he couldn't have been at the burg- lary scene, They all testified Pilot was a lookout for a gambling establish- Judge Elmer Schnackenberg said he was so impressed by Pilot's alibi that he ordered a grand jury inves- tigation of the gambling house. NINE KILLED West Frankfort, Ill, March 17 -- (AP)--Nine young people were kill- Whitby Qust Oshawa In Saturday Contest With 4-3 V Whitby's high-flying Legionnaires pulled off another third-period vic- tory in Oshawa on Saturday after- noon eliminating the Oshawa Le- gion crew in a close, hard-fought game by a 4-3 score. The Whitby team, although they appeared to be the better team on the ice, couldn't get the payoff combinations work- ing until the last 15 minutes of the game and during this period they rapped in three goals to come from behind a 3-1 deficit to register a well-deserved win. The game, the second of a home- and-home, goals to count series, was an exceptionally good game from a hockey standpoint and had the fans on their feet time after time with sparkling drives, first by Whitby and then by Oshawa. The {first game of the series which was play- ed in Whitby last Tuesday night ended in a 4-4 tie. The game was a very rough af- fair with blood being drawn on four separate occasions put each time no penalty was awarded. Innumer- able high sticking encounters took place, terminating a fist fight be- tween Lintner of Whitby and Keel- er of Oshawa, each of whom was given the gate for five mimutes. Referee Morris Walsh, Toronto, and Peg Hurst, Oshawa, turned in a very fine chore of officiating and Walsh handed out a total of 11 pen- alties including the two five- minute sentences to Lintner and Keeler, Fast First Period From the opening face-off both teams started flying up and down the ice with but one intention and that was to score goals as quickly ag possible. However, both Burk- hart and Nash in the nets for Whitby and Oshawa respectively, turned in sensational performances. At the 7.08 mark Brown of Whitby was banished for hooking and Whitby was forced to play defen- sive hockey for the two minutes. No damage was done while Brown was off, however, and it was not until the 12.41 mark that Oshawa scored their first goal. Keeler ac- cepted a pass frcen Ladd and gave Burkhart no chance on a bullet- like shot to the bottom corner, Raike of Oshawa was banished for fixing his equipment on the ice at the 12.50 mark and it was Whit- by's turn to put on a ganging at- tack. Nash in the Oshawa net played sensational hockey. stopping 2 number of hard shots from close n, Keeler was thumbed for cross checking at the 19:31 point and was still serving time when the whistle went to end the first with the score reading 1-0 for Oshawa. Oshawa Increase Lead Oshawa opened the second period with a determined drive and at the 2:08 mark W. Vipond of Whitby was sent off for hooking but returned before any damage was done. The Whitby team showed plenty of class in holding the Oshawa team off the score sheet while they were short-handed. However, at the 7:22 mark Turner accepted a pass, from Cooke to put the Oshawans | two up with a blazing drive to the ictory top right hand corner. Bill Virond, who played a sterling game for 'Whitby, got this goal back two min- utes later on a pass from Moore and brother Luther Vipond. Ladd was banished at the 12:40 mark and while he was off a fight broke out between Lintner and Kee- ler and Referee Walsh thumbed both participants off for five min- utes. These penalties slowed the game down considerably and the period ended with the score, 2-1, for Oshawa. Whitby Drive Wins It Oshawa went two goals up again at the 1:05 mark in the third period when Valentine dropped one be- hind Burkhart after taking a pass from McConkey. Moore got this one back four minutes later when he flipped the puck in the general direction of the Oshawa net and the puck dropped behind Nash who was the-most surprised man on the ice when he discovered what had happened. Baxter and Cooke were banished at the 5:40 and 7:09 marks, respec- tively, and while Cooke was off Moore scored his second goal of the period on a pass from Bill Vi- pond. . Heffering was given the gate at the 8:55 mark to be followed by Valentine at 10:42, While Valentine was sewving his sentence, Heffering of Whitby snared a loose puck and drove it behind Nash for what proved to be the winning counter. Bragg and McCloskey were both given assists on the goal. Whitby began to play defensive hockey from the time of this goal on and were successful in keeping Oshawa at bay. The final score read 4-3 for Whithy. Line-ups: WHITBY: Goal, P, Burkhart; de- fence, Maine, Heffering; centre, Bragg; wings, McCoy, McCloskey; alts, L. Vipond, Moore, Lintner, Dalby, W. Vipond, W.
