i | i] | PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Phone 703, Al) Departments Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams. Editor. Council Agrees To 15 Per Cent Increase For Gas Willingness to grant a fifteen per cent increase in present rates charged by the Ontario Shore Gas Compeny for services in the town was expressed by the Whitby Town Council on Thursday evening dur- ing a special meeting of Council. However, the resolution signifying their willingness to grant the in- crease also contained the stipula- tion that the increase must first be sanctioned in the City of Oshawa and the by-law passed there to cover the ipcrease must meet with the approval of the Whitby Town Solicitor. In asking for permission to levy the fifteen per cent increase in ates, officials of the Ontario Shore Jas Company stated that because )f increased costs of labour, ma- srials and operation they had und it impossible to operate and ay off their present indebtedness > the City of Oshawa. In 1931 a thirty-five year fran- ise was granted to the Company nd in the agreement maximum wes that could be charged were uoted. The company, which serves East 7hitby Township, Whitby Town- ip, Darlington Township, the 'own of Whitby, the Town of owmanville and the City of shawa, informed the local coun- 41 that a willingness to grant +.e increase had been announced Jy Bowmanville, East Whitby. and Whitby Townships, Officials believed that since the City of Oshawa stands to receive )ayment on the indebtedness con- Jacted by the company they will 'xperience little difficulty in con- incing the City Council that a by- aw granting the increase should be Jassed. " Under the old rates, charges lev- 2d by the company were as follows: 10 cent service charge per month with an additional charge of $1.60 per 1000 cubic feet. There was a =iinimum gross charge of 83 cents ser month and a 10 cent per thous- nd cubic feet discount if the bill ~as paid within 10 days. Under the proposed rates with the 15 per cent increase in effect the new charges would be as fol- lows: 40 cent service charge per month with an additional charge of 22 cents per hundred cubic feet for the first two hundred cubic feet |' and thereafter a charge of $1.80 per each thousand cubic feet. The new minimum gross charge would be 85 cents with the same 10 cent per thousand discount if the bill is paid within 10 days. Second Coin Minted 1820 Owned Here In response to an article which appeared in The Times-Gazette on Tuesday, reporting the finding of an unusually old coin bf Ernest Hyderman, Athol St. while digging in his garden, William A. Holliday, well-known local resident, visited the Whitby office of the paper yes- terday and proferred an exact du- plicate of the coin Mr. Hyderman found. Mr. Holliday said that after read- ing the article he was struck with the similarity in description of an old coin which he has. He located the coin and compared it with the description and found that the two tallied perfectly. The coin in question, an 1820 "Halfpenny Token", is about the size of the large one-cent Canadian pieces recently taken out of circu- lation, Engraved on the coin are the words, "Upper Canada" and "Commercial Change", while, in addition, it carries an engraving of an old-fashioned sailboat and a coat of arms made up of crossed spades over an anvil. # Mr. Holliday, who is quite a coin collector, believes the coin to be worth money but said that he had never had it appraised. What's The WHITBY Palm Sports came up with their best performance of the year last night, when they upset the league leading Oshawa Legionnaires 9-8 the second game of their best of three semi-final playoff round, and force the series to its limit. After being nosed out 9-7 in the first game in spite of a five run rally in the last two in- nings, Whitby were facing elim- ination last night, by a team that they had been unable to defeat in seven games this year, bbut Whitby literally blasted their way into a third game with an 11 hit attack, including five home runs, Spencer, Hodg- son and Ross all hit for the cir- cuit in a big six run second in- ning rally, to knock Romaniski from the mound, and they con- tinued against McConkey, who came in in relief, with Mayne and Ross poling round trippers in tHe third inning, * 0» All the scoring in the game was concentrated in the first four in- nings, with neither side being able to push across a run in the last four - frames, as Legion tried des- perately to come from behind, and Whitby hung on to their lead ten- aceously, Hodgson and Mayne were the hit heroes for the Palms, each collecting a home run and a single in three official trips to the plate. w ¥ . However, in spite of their fine showing last night, the Whitby team have been thrown out of further playoffs, for us- ing a player under an assumed name. Len Yuill entered the game in the fifth inning, un- der the name of Roife, and bat- ted once and although Whitby led at this point 9-8 and the score didn't change, the actiom has d the pensi of the Whitby team, and Yuill, who was signed to play for the Junior Tigers, is liable to a life suspension by the O.ASA. Full details are not available as yet, on the final decision of the league and the O.A.S.A. * Lo» There will be four Whitby rinks competing in the annual General Motors Gold Cup Lawn Bowling Tournament to be held next Wednesday. The 104 en. tries, and the 18 sets of prizes valued in the neighbourhood of $1200, make this event one of the largest men's rinks tourna. ments in the world. As has been the practice in the past several years, the Whitby Club greens will be used to accom. modate part of the draw, en. abling the largest entry list in the history of the tournament to compete for the valuable prizes, The four Whitby rinks are skipped by Hilliard Millard, William Cook, Jim Bell and George Canning. Although no Whitby rink has ever won the Cup, local bowlers have always made a good showing. William Cook, has won his three games in the tournament three times, the last occasion being just two years ago, when his rink won fifth place. George Canning's entry for the big event will in. clude three members of the Goodyear Trophy winning rink NOW PLAYING Two Shows at 7:00 and 9:00 - Saturday Matinee at 1:30 "It Takes 'A Heap O' Killin' To Make A House A Home!" 4 ' | 7.99 | PEGGY ANN GARNER - ANDOLPY SCOTT LYNN BARI STEEL CO WL CRAIG.RICE'S = SWEET w LLOYD BACON = prosucss vy LOUIS D. LIGHTON. Four Corners Boasts New Lines, Signs In an effort to control traffic at the Whitby four corners to a great- er degrée, workmen have painted new traffic lines and road warnings on the pavement on Brock St. and Dundas St. on all four sides of the main intersection, Although traffic at the four cor- ners is controlled by stop lights many U.S. and other visiting cars become confused when attempting to turn onto Brock St. from Dun- das or from Brock St. onto Dundas. The new signs and traffic control lines are painted in bright yellow paint with 'the word, "stop", out- lined in letters three feet wide. Local police department officials kelieve that the signs will greatly assist motorists in going through the right movements and motions at the busy intersection. 83,648 Car, Truck Units Produced Detroit, Aug. 16.--(AP)--Passen- ger automobile and truck produc- tion in the United States and Ca- nada this week has been estimat- ed by Ward's automotive reports at 83,648 units, This compared with last week's total of 79,017. In the comparable week last year 88,990 units were assembled, while in the same week of 1941 the total was 45,526 vehicl- es, most plants then being engaged in new model change-over prepara- tions, Of this week's total Ward's said 58,943 cars and 19,120 trucks were made in the United States and 3,- ho cars and 1,865 trucks in Cana- a. , & at Bowmanville two weeks ago, in William Correll, James Ross and Norm Thomas. Hilliard Millard's entry will include Jack Annan, James Sleightholm and Dick Adams, and Jim Bell's rink will include Bob Coppin, George Humphries and Art Patterson, * 2 * Whitby Rotary Juveniles will start their O.B.A. playoff round with Aurora Lions in the Town Park on Monday night. The Whitby boys, who went all the way to the semi-finals last year, have been playing in the Oshawa Juvenile League all season, so that they could play regular, but now that the playdowns have started, both Whitby, and Sunnyside Combines, a midget team, have withdrawn, leaving the other four Oshawa teams to Tight it out for the Lyn. brook Park trophy. It wil] be a best of three peries, with the second game in Aurora on Wednesday, and a third game if necessary, on neu- tral grounds. y * 2 » Gerry Bracey, local track star, will be up against some tough opposi- tion in the All Ontario Open Track and Field Championships in Osha- wa, one week from today. One of the feature attractions of the meet, will be the appearance of the Uni- versity of Western Ontario, track team of Bob and Don McFarlane, Jack Parry, and Bill LaRochelle, who have been making a name for themselves all summer by cleaning up in track meets throughout the country. Besides their running abil- ity, the McFarlanes and Parry are three of the best backfielders in the country, and they will be key men in Johnny Metras' Mighty Mus- tangs, who will be trying for their fourth straight Intercollegiate title this fall. Big Bob, the younger Mc- Farlane was the top scorer in the Intercollegiate last Fall, and is an outstanding quarter miler, who will probably represent Canada at the Olympics next summer. Brother Don also holds his own on the grid- iron, and made the Intercollegiate All-Star team last year. However, when it comes to fleet footed run- ning on a rugby field, Parry is in a class by himself. Last year, he scored 14 touchdowns in six games, four of them by running through the whole opposing team, after re- ceiving the kick, Sport Calendar Monday, August 18 Juvenile O.B.A. Playdowns.

Officials conducting the search for the missing flier said that he should have landed according to schedule no. later than August 11. In addition to being on a photo- graphic mission the plane was also acting as a supply ship for North- ern Quebec areas.

Cars Badly Ohio Man Fined After Dundas St. Accident-- Damaged A charge of careless driving was laid against W. M. Almond, Steub- enville, Ohio, yesterday afternoon by Whitby Police Sergeant Ronald Love, following a collision on Dun. das St. W. between Almond's car and an automobile driven by Al- bert Wilkinson, Trenton, Ont. Both cars were considerably damaged in the collision although neither the drivers or passengers were injured.

White Rose, Red Rose on Single Stem One of the more peculiar quirks of nature was colorfully demon- strated yesterday when Gertrude Drew, Euclid St., Whitby, brought into the Times-Gazette office a stem from a rose bush on which were growing two roses, both of vastly different hues. Ome of the roses was a purplish pink colour while the other wag snow white. Mrs. Drew told The Times-Ga- ette yesterday that no grafting whatsoever had been practiced on the bush and that it was the only stem on the whole bush on which this phenomenon occurred. A close examination of the two blooms indicates that they both are perfectly formed and the only dif- ference between the two is in the colour. In one or two places on the white bloom a few very minute specks of colour can be seen but it is only with difficulty that a person can see them. The roses grew in Mrs. Drew's own garden which is a mass of col- our due to the many rose bushes in full bloom there, Whitby Classified WANTED--WA!

Summers dove into the wa. ters of Lake Ontario off the Hos. pital grounds on Mbnday and was successful in bkringing Gale to shore after he had got into difficul- ties while swimming in the water with his dog. Following the rescue Summers told bystanders that when he had first observed Gale in the water he had noticed Gale waving his arms but thought nothing of it until he noticed Gale's dog begin to bark and swim in small circles. When a second glance in the direction of the dog did not reveal any sign of Gale, Summers immediately dove into the water and by swimming out to where the dog was he was successful in locating Gale and bringing him ashore. After a few minutes of artificial respiration applied by Summers Gale was able to go to his home where he was soon out of danger, It is believed that Gale was af. fected by the hot sun and when dizziness overcame him he was un. able to reach the shore under hig own power. In commending Summers for his action the members of the Council expressed iheir appreciation for the rescue and committed themselves to writing a letter to the proper officials drawing to their attention Summers' actions in the hope that they will preset him with a suitable award.
