W-- Two Fined For Cutting D of H Trees Two Westmount automotive deal- ers were fined $60 and costs or one month by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs today on charges of destroying De- partment of Highways trees. They were Lawrence Irwin, and Ray Bennett, proprietor of Bennett Mo- tors, 25 Alexander Blvd. Forestry Inspector L. G. Riley testified that he found one maple cut down and another damaged so much that "it could not be saved" in front of the property at 25 Alex- ander Blvd. being used by Irwin as a used car lot. Irwin said he had applied for the right to. cut down the trees but had "waited six months" then went to work. The bulldozer used in clear- ing his lot, he told the court, back- ed into one of the trees. Referring to two trees reported destroyed in front of the Bennett property at 248 King Street West, the inspector told the court the trees were valued at $25 each but to replace them with others as large and practicable would cost $200 each. "Then. they would only ap- proximate the size of those de- stroyed," he said. Bennett declared that the trees had "interfered with his business at 248 King Street West. . Autopsy Confirms Frankford Girl Killed by Bullet Toronto, Dec. 15--(CP)--A second autopsy on the body of Pretty Ma- rion Jean Badgely, 23, found dead in her parents' home at Frankford, Ont., has indicated her death was caused by gunshot. Dr. W. L. Robinson made the examination, and scalp and muscle tissue were given Prof. Joslyn Rog- ers to determine the presence or absence of powder burns. Dr. Robinson said burns could not be seen with the naked eye but that chemical process was necessary to establish whether they were there. He said that absence of powder marks would narrow the probe to one of murder or accident and stat- ed the gun would have had be more than 12 inches away from the temple to eliminate powder marks. Students' Movie Un - Hollywoodish Unorthodox Work By MARILYN LAMBORN Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto (CP). -- Memories of poison ivy itch and painful bee stings were forgotten by a youthful group of motion picture enthusiasts as they watched the efforts of their nine months' work flash by in 35 minutes. The group of 11 men and women sat on the floor of an attic room, silenced by the impact of their first movie, "In Between." Produced on an un-Hollywood budget of $35, the film is an unorthodox, psychological thriller based on the thread separat- ing the subconscious from reality. Momentary fear of slipping into the ghoulish world of his dreams was the inspiration of the movie, sald Elwy Yost, 22-year-old writer and director of the film. A psy- chology student at the University of Toronto, Yost said the panto- mime-acted silent work was "a dream to end all dreams!" Inspired by the theories of Sergei Eisensein, John Ford and Orson Welles, the group--most of them university students--decided to ex- 1 periment with a "new approach" to movie-making. "Not because we have anything against Hollywood," said Harold Smith, art director of the film and one of its cast. "But we want to go beyond them in artistic achieve- ment." Action, expression and symbolism are the keystone of the film which tells the story of a frustrated artist, the hatred he bears for his wife and his supressed love for another wo- man. "We relied on spontaneity for our effects," said Yost. "Actors were directed as the camera rolled, some. time with no knowledge of what was coming next." The merit of this technique is seen when actors often registered genuine surprise paralleling that of the spectator. Familiarity with Freudian psy- chology is not necessary to interpret the symbolism involved. Constantly hovering behind the wife is a cynical-faced puppet suggesting in- evitable doom and the artist's frus- trated ego. Three perspiring work- men represent public opinion and as such try to make short shrift of the artist and his love by burning them at the stake--torture > the artist knows his wife would approve were she to fathom his thoughts. Sustained suspense for the silent film without sub-titles is built up by an original musical score record- ed on wax records. The music was written by Morris Kates while Bill Bourke collaborated on the scenario and wrote the introductory poem calculated to clear up misunder. standings. To' 24-year-old Bina Smith, the diminutive actress who lays the wife in the triangle and a 10- day poison ivy victim during its filming, "In Between" is "not the i movie ever filmed." "Nor is it the worst," she said. "The result lies 'in between.' " Sd --------------_ USED TOO MUCH FORCE Toronto, Dec. 12 (CP) .--Michael P.

Evidence that Mrs. Julia Kabas probably died of e.:posure and that she may have been under the influence of alcohol prior to her death Dec. 6, wag given today by city pathologist Dr, W, J. Dead- man at the inquest in the death of the Hamilton woman, Mrs. Kabas' body was found at | Dudurn Castle here and police | evidence today disclosed the dis- covery -of footprints in the snow of a man and a woman walking together near the castle- with an- other man following them some six feet behind. Dr, Deadman reported he had found multiple abrasions ofr the front of the knees, back of the right. hand and wrist, on the for- head, nose, both cheeks and on | the ankles. There was also a mi- nor abrasion on the back of the head. "Having regard to her condi- tion and the light summer cloth- | ing she was wearing, it was like- ly that she died of exposure," said Dr, Deadman. 'There was nothing to indicate she died of violence and there. was no evi- dence of criminal assault." It was police suspicion of death from an. attack after a criminal assault that prompted the inves- tigation, h Family physician Dr. Harry Paikin 'testified the woman had, high blood pressure and that he had been told by her husband that "she went off on heavy sprees." y Detective Sergeant Howard | Moreau said the bruises on the | body could have been caused by Mrs. Kabas "falling flat on her face on the verandah" where she was found. William Polchuck testified he saw Mrs, Kabas on the street shortly after 11 p.m, on Dec. 5 and she was not walking straight, "ag though she were not quite sober."

Veteran Recalls Pilot's Training At Wright School Edmonton (CP) --K. F. Saunders, inspector of civil aviation here, shakes 'his head in bewilderment when he hears aviators talk nowa- days about supersonic speeds, en- gines of more than 3,000 horse- power and cannon-firing fighter aircraft. His amazement is understandable, Ken Saunders learned to fly 32 years ago last October in one of the Wright Brothers' first biplanes, made from odds and ends in the bicycle shop of the famed Dayton, O., aviation pioneers. That air- d a top speed of 43 miles AN r. A 40-h.p. engine powered two small propellers by chain drive. The plane had no instrument panel. Mr. Saunders received his pilot's license after a four-hour course at the Wright scheol. The certificate-- No. 353--is one of his proudest possessions. More than 100,000 purely civilian licenses have since been issued in the United States alone, and the number excludes any of the pilots of the Second World War in elther Canada or the U.S. It was as a youngster of 22--one of 15 Canadians who reached Day- ton in 1915--to learn flying so they could enlist in the British air force Wright school. The Canadian students paid $1 a minute for their instruction, plus train fares to Dayton and their hoard bills while there. When they made their first and only solo flight, their instructors wished them good luck. But he added the warning, "You think you're pilots now, but you're not. You won't be until you have walked away from a 'cracked-up plane for the third time." After finishing at Dayton, Mr. Saunders went to Ottawa, then on to England, where he joined the Royal Naval Air Service. He still chuckles over the oral examination he underwent before a pompous admiral, "What would you do if you were flying along cne day and a Zeppelin loomed up in your path?" asked the admiral. "Well, I'm not just sure, I believe I'd shoot it down," blurted the "By jove, you're right. That's exactly what I would do myself. You have successfully passed the examination," said his examiner. Later, flying a Sopwith Camel, Ken shot down several German Gothas over England. He received the Distinguished Service Cross, and later won the Air Force Cross. He returned to Canada after "barnstorming" for three years in Sweden, entered commercial flying, then joined the civil aviation branch now under the transport depart- ment. . He came to Edmonton in 1938; owns two planes which he usually flies himself, and believes Edmonton has a great future before it in aviation.

So 750 Printing Pressmen On Strike In Toronto Toronto, Dec. 15--(CP)--About 750 printing pressmen employed in more than 100 Toronto commercial publishing houses went on strike for higher wages today as pickets formed outside the affected plants. Union officials sald that one small firm signed an agreement today and two more had expressed their intention to do so. Officials of MacLean Hunter Publishing Com: pany, which publishes MacLean's Chatelaine, Mayfair and a host of trade publications, said the 'com- pany was not seriously affected with 90 per cent of the pressmen reporting for work. . The strike was endorsed by a vote of 417 to 176 at a meeting Saturday of the Printing Pressmen's Unien (AF.L) in their demands for a ba- sic wage of $1.42 an hour for cylin- der pressmen, coupled with a de- mand for union security clauses in any new agreement. : One group of printing houses had offered a scale of $1.30 an hour, compared with the present $1.17, but the houses making this offer were those where a union shop pre- Jails and union security is not an ue, The strike, if entirely effective, would affect virtually all forms of printing in Toronto except the city's three daily newspapers. Na- tional magazines and trade publi- cations are among those affected. Altogether the union said it was prepareq to picket 105 firms in the city. E. R. Milling, General Manager of Consolidated Press which publishes Canadian Home Journal, . the Sat- urday Night and the Farmers Mag- azine = with national circulations, said it does not expect to operate at least during the initial period of the strike. The Canadian Home Journal earlier cancelled its Decem- ber issue when the union cut off overtime work. It was expected that a strike would cancel the January Canadian Home Journal and that there would be no issue of Saturday Night this week, Whether the New Liberty maga- zine and the New World would be affected was uncertain. The New World has its printing done in var- ious places while the New Liberty is a rotogravure product not affected by printers. Its issues however are printed on presses which are oper- ated by union members. may be continued throughout the holidays each Saturday morning.

Woodworking for boys and girls after four o'clock and for adults in the evening is growing steaaiiy in popularity. There is s§ill plenty of opportunity for men or out-of- school youth to enjoy this attrac- tive and remunerative hobby.

More emphasis is being placed on the C.R.A. building and all its ac- tivities being reserved for adults each evening. An adult is defined as anyone whose. formal school days are over but who wishes to continue active mentally, socially and physi cally.

Rolling Out The Barrel Is Pleasure Saint John, N.B. (CP).--Many persons may wonder how it feels to own a barrel of money. Ralph Law- ton nct only wondered, but -did something about it until his dream came true. The story started more than two years ago following his demobiliza~ tion as a flying officer in the RCAF. Years in uniform had trained him to neatness and he acquired a daily habit of setting aside accumulated coppers. Soon overflowing, a tray on his dresser was replaced by a candy box but that too became full and the pennies kept coming. "Just for the novelty of it," Law- ton recalls, "I took an empty nail keg, put a new head on it and cut a slot in the head just big enough to admit a penny, and duly instal- led it in a corner of my room, I had to take a lot of kidding from the family, of course, but I just kept dropping pennies into the slot. "A couple of weeks ago, when I just couldn't force another penny. into that keg, I decided to open it and bank the works. The kidding changed to envy and admiration and even I was shocked when the flood of coppers rolled out." The keg had grown so heavy it couldn't be lifted and Lawton"s mother had many pointed - com- ments about the impossibility of sweeping that corner of the room. A whole week of evenings was required for Lawton to count the pennies while his girl friend wrap- ped them in rolls of 50. The final count was 21,000 pennies, or $210. "I took them to the bank in $20 and $35 instalments," says Lawton, "taking care to explain how it hap- pened I was maknig such extensive 'copper" * deposits, in case they thought I might have come by the money by some unorthodox means. "In case you're interested, the head is back on the keg and I've begun on my second barrel of money. -My girl friend's only com- ment was that it might be a good idea to save quarters instead of nnies, but that would be a bit steep these davs." Present Prizes For Attendance At Gospel Hall A very pleasant evening was en- joyed by the children of the Gospel Hall Sunday School on Saturday evening when prizes for attendance at the Sunday School during 1947 were presented.

Lindsay, which was gradudt- ed into the "A" class of fall fairs, bringing the total to four in On- fario, had a meeting Thursday and decided not to conflict. with the London. Fair which is being held September 13-18, the dates usually taken by the Lindsay Central Ex- hibition. Lindsay's Fair is to be held fren the 21-25 inclusive a week la- ter than the London Exhibition. "I want 'ft understocd we do not. fear London," explained secretary- manager M. L. McLean, "However, the London Fair has been subsidiz- ed by the city of London to the ex- tent of $200,000. This will be our first year as class "A" fair, and if our dates conilicted with the Lon- don Fair they are in the financial position to make their prize list so attractive it would hurt our fair" Several members in attendance were of the opinion there was little likelihood of a fair in Peterborough this year. Chairman of the meet. ing, Claude Bottum, president of the Lindsay Central Exhibition Board, suggested some of the 16. fairs in the district alternate from year to year for the Friday and Saturday dates, This was after a .deadlotk between Oshawa and Beaverton, O:hawa wanting the 16, 17.and 18th of September and Beaverton the 17 and 18, The suggestion did not break the deadlock, Secretary of the meeting, E. Wé Wether, secretary of the Oshawa Fair board, pointed out the dates decided on are only tentative and some may be changed. Wi Tentative dates for other fairs are as follows: Apsley, Sept. 1-2; :Bohsaygeon, Oct. 5-6; Kinmount, Sept. 3-4; Port Perry, Sept. 4-6; Orono, Sevt. 10-11; Sunderland, Sept. 14-15; Oakwood, Sept. 20-21; Uxoridge, Sept. 29; Lakefield, Oct, 1-2; Port Hope, Oct. 8-10, Christmas Music To Be Performed By Girls' Choir One of the mellowest about Christmas is the revival of earols so beautiful that people want to hear them again year in and year out--carols so old, some of them, that were sung in the Middle Ages by the "waits," professional earol- singers and itinerant musicians who paraced the streets nightly at Yule- ide. That these traditional songs are still conductive to Christmas enjoy- ment will be demonstrated when the Leslie Bell singers take to the airwaves over the CBC Trans- Canada network on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at. 9:00 p.m. EST. This pro- gram bids fair to be. fine entertain ment for two reasons--the perform- ers and their songs, Dr. Leslie Bell, professor of music at the Ontario College of Education, is Canada's Phil Spitalny of song. His all-girl choir, 75 voices strong, composed of singers between the ages of 18 and 23, has met with both critical and popular acclaim. This is no happy accident. A perfectionist, Dr. 'Bell believes in exacting practice. With the aid of expressive hands and a mohile face that registers a wide range of emo- tion from pain and horror to en- couragement and rapture, he has built up his choir through eight years of laborious training. He is not worried by the defection of girls who marry and specialize in lulla- bies--he need only consult a waiting list -of some 350 eager and talented 'candidates, .
