Phone 708, All Departments DONALD MOTOR SALES SPONSOR SOAP BOX DERBY To Award Fifty Dollars In Cash To Derby Winners The much-discussed soap box derby, to be held in Whitby on . September 13 in conjunction with the Whitby Kinsmen Carnival which is to be held that night in the Kinsmen Memorial Park, has finally acquired a sponsor and one of the most popular sponsors that could be imagined. Gordon Mec- Mahon, Whitby Recreational Direc- tor, today announced that arrange- ments have now been completed whereby the sponsor for the derby will be Harry Donald, well-known local businessman. Mr. Donald has agreed to put up the prize money for the event in the name of his company, Donald' Motor Sales. Mr. Donald, long a favorite with the youngsters of Whitby, will furn- ish prize money in the amount of committee sees fit, It is under- stood from the committee that in addition to having cash prizes for the winner and placing cars in the race, there will also be prizes for the cars adjudged the best-appear- ing and best-constructed vehicles to enter the derby even though they may not win the race itself. In addition to the sponsoring of the race by Donald Motor Sales, the committee in charge of - the event, under Gordon McMahon, are in hopes that a sufficient number of local merchants will agree to sponsor individual cars in the der- by. To sponsor a car a merchant must put up between eight and ten dollars for the purpose of buy- ing wheels and axles for his car, which, when entered in the race, will carry the name of the car's sponsor emblazoned in large letters along the body. This idea falls in line with similar plans carried out with great success in Oshawa and Bowmanville during their - recert derby races. * Several merchants and business- men in town have already signified their intention of sponsoring a car in the race and officials are hope- ful that within a very short time they will have enough merchants lined up to provide each youngster who enters a car with a set of the Specially made "official". wheels. Following - the announcement that the race was definitely on the local lumber yards and garages were swamped with requests from children searching for suitable ma- RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED ~-- IMMEDIATE 130 Brock St. N., Whitby Tel. 707 FOR HIRE NEW CEMENT MIXER, BARROWS AND OPERATOR 5 YDS. PER HOUR terial with which to start construc- tion of their vehicles. Entry forms and complete sets of the rules and regulations which will govern the event are now available at the office of the Re- creational Director and at Donald Motor Sales. Any youngster be- tween the ages of 11 and 16 by Aug- ust 1 is available to enter the event and they are requested to visit eiths er of the above-named places and secure their entry forms." It is im- portant that this be done soon so that the committee will be able to plan their schedule for the derby day afternoon. Alregdy requests have been re- ceived from out-of-town youngsters asking how they can qualify and enter tha Whithv derhv Nao defi. nite decision regarding this has been handed down as yet but it is expected that the race will be con- fined to local entries wherever and whenever possible. If 'a sufficient number of local entries are re- ceived then the officials in charge of the event are expected to rule that only local entries can be ac- cepted. If the response both by contest- ants and spectators is anything like that which has greeted simi- lar events in nearby centres then it is expected that the derby: course, which will be located from the rail- way bridge on Brock St. 8. south- ward to the base line, will be jam- med to capacity for the afternoon. Permission has already been secured from the Streets Committee of the Whitby Council and from Mayor William Davidson to detour traffic around the course on the afternoon of the race. Unlike the Oshawa race, the Whitby event will start from a large and steeply-sloped ramp to be con- structed especially for the race. Whereas in Oshawa the cars were given their initial starting spurt by a shove' from a "mechanic" the cars in the local race will line up abreast on the ramp and at a sig- nal a gate will be dropped and the cars will coast down the ramp un- der their FAI in" the youngsters and the _oldsters will have the time of their lives on derby day. At any rate an indica- tion of how popular such events are becoming has already been received in the response of contestants and individual sponsors for the gars. The one big problem, that of secur- ing a sponsor for the race itself, has now been overcome and Donald Motor Sales will remain high in the estimation of Whithy youngsters Who can thank this company for its support and help in attempting to make this venture a success, WOMAN IS MOH.

NOW PLAYING Two Shows at 7:00 and 9:00 - Saturday Matinee at 1:30 with ! DALE EVANS + OLIN HOWLIN BOB NOLAN and the : SONS of the PIONEERS A REPUBLIC PRODUCTION seems assured that | Coins Still Interesting To Readers When The Times-Clazette first printed an article concerning the finding of an old coin, dated 1820, and found by Ernest Hyderman, Athol St, Whitby, while digging in his garden, there was mo indi- cation that a steady stream of old and unusual coins would begin to flow into the office in ever- increasing numbers. However, that is now the case. Every day for more than a week readers of The Times-Gazette have been steadily bringing old coins into the office both in Whitby and Oshawa, and some surprising coins have come to light as a result. most ancient British coin to come into the office to date was one minted during the reign of George I and dated 1718. This coin was the property of Wallace Martin, of Oshawa. However, the most an- cient coin displayed to date is one, believed to be of Egyptian origin and dated 1330. The most recent ool welong to Aubrey Hurst, © and Robert Butt, of I Mr. Hurst's collection are a coin minted in 1758 during the reign of George III, a coin with the date partly obliterated, but which Mr. Hurst believes dates dates back to the early 1500's, a coin commemor- ating the achievements of Sir Isaac Brock and a Bank of Upper Can- ada penny. ' . Included in Mr. Butt's collection are several English pennies dating back to the early 1700's, and other coins of the face value of one half and one-third farthing. Any reader of The Times-Gaz- ette is requested to bring any old or odd coins in their possession into the office of The Times-Gaz- ette either in Oshawa or Whitby. The results to date have been very gratifying' and an indication that they are proving of interest to the readers is given by the number of persons who have responded to this request.

Junior "B" playdowns on Monday night in the local ball yard, when they play hosts to their perennial rivals, the Brooklin Dodgers. Both Whitby and Brooklin played in the Oshawa Junior Softball League throughout the season, and Brooklin holds a decided advantage over the Tigers on the basis of past performances, having won all four of their meet- ings so far. The Tigers will be without the services of Len Yuill for the play- off series, as the result of his sus- pension, However, Yuill only play- ed in a few games for the Tigers, and while he would have been a de- cided asset to the team, they have played most of the season without him, and will continue to do so. The Tigers will also be without the services of Gerry Fletcher, who will ke away on holidays next week. in spite of Thsir record against Brooklin, the Tigers are looking forward to ending their jinx against the Dodgers in this playoff series, wi if team spirit will help, they Brooklin are highly favored to take the series in the minimum two games, but the Tigers can be counted on to put up a strong fight, and they could easily pull an upset. The second game of the series will be played in Brooklin on Wednes- day night and if a third game is required, the two teams will decide among themselves where it will be played. To Get Their Man With Radio's Aid Edmonton (CP).--It's only a mat- ter of time before most Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police detachments in each of the Prairie provinces will communicate with them by a simi. lar high-powered system. The network will be the first of its kind ever attempted by the force. In Alberta all detachments will be equipped with receiving sets and those within reasonable distance of the three provincial transmitters-- Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge --will haye two-way sets in their detachment cars. > 8. G. Zimmerman, an official of the department of transport is erecting a main transmitting tower for the station here. It is being built about 10 miles northwest of the city limits, On completion of the work here he will go to Saskatchewan to do similar work in connection with the network. It is expected that it will be sometime yet before the complete Prairie network is in operation, al- though the system will be put into use in the Edmonton area shortly. The transmitter here will cover all of the northern section of the prov- ince and part of the south. From Calgary the network will serve the central part of the province while the transmitter at Lethbridee. less powerful than the other two, will cover a portion of the southern par of the province, .
