EI -- THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1947 PAGE FOUR LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY: Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. bi Phone 703, All Departments Miss Mary. Arnold Tells Of UNRRA Work In Greece Miss Mary Arnold, recently re- turned from a tour of duty in Greece with the UN.R.R.A. organi- zation, was the guest speaker on Monday evening when the members of the Evening Group of the Wo- men's Missionary Society of the Whitby United Church held their regular monthly meeting, Dr. Lil- lian Hunter, president of the group, and a member of the staff of the Ontario Ladies' College here, intro- duced the guest speaker to the large number of members who attended. Miss Arnold, who is a Pickering girl, recently returned to Canada after serving for over a year in Greece with the UNRR.A. Wel- fare organization and in her ad- dress Monday evening she outlined the problems confronting the Greek people following the war and de- scribed her impressions garnered during the year she spent in Greece. Miss Arnold told the group that U.N.R.R.A. was a relief organization but in addition was a group whose aim it was 'to help the Greeks to help themselves" She stated that the Greek people were gradually being able to do this and that much credit should go to the UN.R.R.A. officials for the assistance they gave to the destitute peoples of the country. Miss Arnold stated that during the year she served in Greece she was attached to the Welfare Divi- sion of UN.R.R.A, and travelled in a northern Greece area stretching from Salonica to the Turkish bor- der. She added that the work was made more difficult because of the inability to speak the language but that the workers overcame this by using an interpreter when making their rounds. Miss Arnold stated that one of the first things a visitor notices about the country is the lack of motor driven: vehicles. She stat' that automobiles were rarely useu by the Greeks who depended main- ly on the services of donkeys and carts for transportation. She explained that UNRR.A. was divided into a number of groups or departments giving as examples Welfare, Health, Agricul- ture and Distribution She stated that each group had a specific job to do and that it was up to them to see that the job was completed. "UNRR.A, workers overcame the handicap of travelling over poor roads by using jeeps," she said, "and another thing that caught our eye was the absolute lack of travel at night by Greek citizens." . Miss Arnold went on to explain 'hat there are no farmhouses in Greece at all with most of the resi- dents living in small villages with their farms located outside the limits, She said that they travelled back and forth every day between the farms and the villages or towns. 8he added that from her own per- sonal inspections she had found the Greeks dirty, poorly clothed and with all houses in a bad state of repair. Sheep and tobacco are the two main sources of revenue to the northern Greece farmer according to Miss Arnold and, although the wages in the. country are very low. she gtated that commodities on the open market were exceptionally ex- pensive, She said that a pair of rubbers for a man would cost the equivalent of $10.00 in Canadian currency while a cup of coffee and a piece of cake would cost in the vicinity of 80 cents Miss Arnold said that when U.N. RR.A. first arrived in Greece their main jobs were to supply the citi- zens with clothing, food and medi- cal supplies and direct wandering persons including small children to their own homes or refugee homes. She stated that many children were found wandering around the coun- try with no place to live at all. She "RADIO SERVICE ' GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE - BUTT RADIO - & APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N., Whitby Tel. 707 said that these children were placed in UNRR.A. supervised orphan- ages, Among programs sponsored by the welfare organization of U.N.R. R.A. were public assistance and feeding programs. With the insti- gation of these projects in various parts of the country the people be- gan to feel more like human beings again. In spite of the difficult times they had experienced, Miss Arnold said that she had found the average Greek to be "thankful, charming, exciteable, proud and -hospitable." She stated that they all appeared anxious to help themselves and that in her estimation" UN.R.R.A. pro- vided them with the needed oppor- tunity to do this. 'In addition to Miss Arnold's in- teresting address the group was en- tertained by the singing of Mrs. Douglas Holliday, accompanied on the piano by Mrs, J. H. McMullen, Following the address refreshments were served and a social time was held and enjoyed by all members present. Boy Scout Paper Collection Here On Saturday The members of the Boy Scout and Wolf Cub organizations will make a 'clean up" waste paper salvage collection on Saturday morning and all citizens of Whitby are being asked to co-operate in making this event the most success- ful salvage collection ever. Officials of the organization have pressed thor ' ,pes that the col~ scetion will ve successful and ask that all residents who have a large amount of waste paper or card- board cartons lying around in the woodshed or basement place a phone call to 406 before Saturday thus ensuring that a member of the collection team will make a call to pick up the paper. A few hints from officials in charge of the project are listed be- low and if followed out will make the collecting job much easier. Bundles should be firmly tied with strong string or rope. Cartons should be flattened out and laid alongside bundles of paper. All | salvage should be placed alongside the curb if the weather holds good but should not be placed there if it is wet or raining: Any person with a large quantity of paper or cardboard is asked to telephone 406 before Saturday.

This airview of the Kent village of Yalding shows the inundation caused by the overflowing of the Medway and Beult rivers. The most disastrous flood of the century has turned a 9,000-square mile triangle of Britain into a vast lake and made thousands homeless. The area bounded by the Bristol channel in the west, The Wash in the east and the Thames river in the south was described as chaotic as a result of the floods. New Town Hall Proposed For Pickering The Police Trustees of the Village of Pickering, with the support of the Pickering Rotary Club, are ap- pealing to residents of that village for support for the proposed new Memorial Town Hall at Pickering Village, which it is suggested should be erectéd on the site of the present ancient town hall building. The estimated cost of the project is fixed at $15,500 based on present prices. The size will be 40 by 72 feet; there will be a seating capacity of 285 persons, and a stage and dressing rooms 12 by 38 feet. The building will have a full size basement. There will be an entrance 12 by 20 feet, with a fireproof projection room or small meeting room on the second floor. Toilet facilities will be pro- vided. The construction will be cement and brick foundation, con- crete block walls with stucco ex- terior finish, built up trussed roof. There will be no pillars in the audi- torium, with Ten-Test insulation board for acoustics. The ceiling will be of a height of 14 feet, and will be insulated with rock wool. Main floor will be of hardwood and concrete floor in the basement, plas- tered walls, Ten-Test cefling, ten supporting - pillars in two rows. Heating will be by hot air and the building will be lighted by elec- tricity. A public meeting is being held in the Town Hall, Pickering, next Monday evening to discuss. the project and probably to inaugurate a campaign for funds. Say Hewling Wolf's Only Bad Feature Kirkland Lake, March 19--(CP)-- The only really annoying thing- about wolves is their howling, claims Nellie J. Reid of Tomstown in the Englehart area south of here. A newspage story which quoted Ralph Loucks, manager of a resort 17 miles south of Peterborough, as saying three wolves had chased him moved Miss Reid to make known her views. "If the wolves really wanted him) (Loucks), he would have to do some tall running to escape," she said in a letter to the editor of Kirkland Lake's Northern Daily News. "I am np Joe Laflamme (Laflamme is a resident of the Northern Ontario community of Gogama who har- nesses wolves to a dog sleigh) but I have prospected in Muskoka and Haliburton where wolves were as thick as rabbits. > "We had to carry our chuck five miles through the bush, The wol- ves used to follow us at night. But when we stopped to rest the wolves stopped also." If a wolf confronts you, stare him in the face, Miss Reid advises. "Then start toward him and see which way he will go, I think men like Ralph Loucks must be a little timid where wolves are concerned. I have seen dozens of wolves around my shack and the only thing that annoyed me was their howling. After I got used to it, I could sleep OK." Billiard Shot To Top Them All Goderich, March 19--{CP)--In a local billiard parlor recently, Ches- ter McArthur took a shot at the cue ball and scored one of the most unusual shots ever made here. The ball bounced off the cushion, trav- elled back, hit McArthur in the eye, dropped back on to the table, rolled toward the object ball and tipped it into the pocket. Result: One good shot and one black eye.

Ebbs in Whitby Police Court on Tuesday until Friday, March 24, at which time they were ordered to appear for preliminary hearing of the charge against them. A second charge, that of receiving and re- taining a 'stolen vehicle, was pre- ferred today by police and Magis- trate Ecbs also remanded them on this count until Friday, The four accused were arrested by Police shortly after the holdup at the Hospital during which a quantity of valuable drugs was stolen. The drugs are valued by hospital authorities 'at $300. but outside sources gave the value of the drugs on the black market as being closer to $10,000. During their search for the men who committed the crime, police officials located a large sedan auto- mobile which had been stolen earli- er from Oshawa, and in which po- lice believe the men made their get- away following the holdup. Crown Attorney A. C. Hall told court that he had made arrange- ments with counsel for the accused for the preliminary hearing to be held at 10 o'clock on Friday morn. ing if the court would grant the remand. On two previous appearances In court to answer the charge of arm- ed robbery the four men were re- Jmanded a week in each instance and bail was set at $10,000 each with one surety. On several occasions defence counsel argued that the bail should either be lowered or that more than one surety for the amount should be accepted. Ma- gistrate Ebbs on both occasions ruled that the bail would stand at $10,000.

Man Given Four Months On Two Charges Clifford Wild, Whitby, was yester= day sentenced to three months in jail on a charge of being intoxicated in a public place and one month in jail on a second charge of obtain- ing money by false pretences, by Magistrate Frank 8. Ebbs in Whit- by Police Court yesterday. Magis- trate Ebbs sentenced Wild on the intoxication charge because it was the third time that Wild has ap- peared on this count. The second charge was laid by police after obtaining information that Wild had obtained the sum of four dollars from a citizen when he pleaded that the money was needed because his young son was to un- dergo an operation. Wild had previously been re- manded on two counts because he had asked that he be allowed to have witnesses in court, namely a doctor, who could testify that his apparent intoxication was caused by medicine he had received. No witnesses appeared to substantiate his story and the Magistrate was obliged to pass sentence.
