Phone 703, All Departments England Will Never Regain Former Status Says Rotary Speaker The guest speaker at yesterday's Whitby Rotary Club luncheon meet. ing was Rotarian George Hart, a member of the Oshawa club, who outlined many of his impressions and experiences gained on a recent holiday trip he spent in England. The guest of Rotarian Jack Rcblin, Mr. Hart has addressed the Whitby elub on previous occasions and a full complement of club members were on hand to hear his interest- ing address. Stating emphatically that there would always be an England "but never the same as she was before" the speaker said that despite efforts to prevent it, comparison was made by visitors and residents alike be- tween the England as she was 10 years ago and the England she is today. Mr. Hart stated that on his last visit to England about 10 years ago he observed a proud country, full of hope and plans for the future, a country primed and painted and in sound economical and healthy shape. "However," he said, "today England is vastly different, signs of devastation are prevalent, the peo- ple are shabbily dressed and no enthusiasm is evident on the face of the passerby or citizen, This is not just indicative of conditions in any one area," he said, "but instead it is indicative of any and all parts of the country." One cheery note he injected into his address was the statement that despite these other noticeable changes in England and her people there was absolutely no change in the hospitality afforded visitors or no change in the great sense of pride they all feel for their appar- ent and proven ability to accomplish great things in the face of tre- mendous odds. "England will never gain the place which she once held as a mili- tary and economic power," stated the speaker, "bui there is no dcubt in my mind that she differed from other great empires, now fallen, in that she colonized many parts of the world, gave freely of her talents, art and knowledge and in general did her utmost to benefit the entire world." X In rounding out his speech, Mr. Hart mentioned that he had travers. ed to England and return by Trans. Canada Airlines and he did not hesitate in stating that in his estl- mation flying to England was by far the swiftest, most comfortable and safest way. He said that the serv- ice provided by the company in flight, before and after departure and arrival was of the highest calibre. Mr. Hart emphasized the fact to club members that parcels from Canada played a tremendous part in keeping up the spirit of residents there. He said that food prices were absolutely ridiculous and that even now it is impossible to get a variety of food that would fill the simplest needs of a human being. "The people of England get enough to eat," he said, "and they will tell you that but so would a man asked the same question while serving time in a penitentiary." Sudbury Youth Is Sentenced, Partner In Crime Remanded Week Patrick Pealow, 18, of Sudbury, as sentenced to four months de- inite and two months indefinite n a charge of breaking and enfer- ng into a summer cotiage. on De- ecnber 1st near Sudbury and two nonths on a charge of causing will- ul damage to a summer restaurant owned by John Graham on the touge River over a 'week ago when he sppeared before Magistrate Frank 8 Fbbs in Whitby. Police Court yesterday afternoon. Both sentences are ta run concurrently. Ronald Baker, Cornwall, also charged wit hcausing wilful damage to the Graham property, was re- manded a week for sentence. Both fccuséd youths appearéd in court a week ago and at that time were re. manded for sentence. Magistrate Fobs stated that he would remand Baker until an uncle was contacted who was alleged to have offered to "look after" the Cornwall youth. The second charge concerning the cottage theft near Sudbury, came to ght on Pealow's own statement to Chief Jack Irvine, Pickering Township. Chief Irvine stated that Pealow had declared himsell will- ing to "make a clean breast of it." Pealow was alleged to have stated to police in his statement that he had stolen two suits of clothing, a camera, a quantity of liquor and two flashlights from the cottage which he sald was owned by A. Parent, A communication from Sudbury po- lice substantiated Pealow's confes- sion and the value of the missing articles was placed at $75. Pealow told the court that he had sold the articles for a nominal sum of money to a pawn broker in Sudbury. Crown Attorney T.

Fire Chief William Heard stated that the whole building was burn- ing by the time Whitby firemen arrived on the scene, "Ward ap- Pparently walked four or five blocks before being able to reach a tele. phone to turn in the alarm," he said. The damage caused by the fire was estimated by Ward to be about $400 to the building and $100 to personal effects. "I only managed to save a pair of trousers, a jacket and a pair of boots," he said, "the rest of my stuff was consumed by the flames." Chief Heard stated that Ward had told him that he had pulled the bed too close to the stove and that the bedclothes had apparently caught on fire. He quoted Ward as saying that "when I awoke the building was full of smoke and I barely had time to get out before | it burst into flames." Ward had been living In the garage because he was unable to secure any other accommodation. Nearly a full complement of fire- men turned out to the fire but the damage had been done when they arrived on the scene. Manchester W.A.

Principal] Celebrates 85th Birthday at Edmonton A friend of Miss Nettie Burk. | | holder, at Alberta College, Edmon- | ton, recently sent along the follow- | ing article which appeared in a | recent issue of an Edmonton news- | paper. The many Whitby friends of | Miss Burkholder will no doubt be | interested in the article and it is | reprinted below for their consump- | tion, Miss Burkholder is well known in | Whitby and has many friends here and The Times-Gazette joins with these friends in wishing her a very happy birthday. It was an extra-happy day for Miss Nettie Burktiolder on Jen. 1, 1948, for besides receiving Happy New Year wishes she was receiving congratulations on her 85th birth. day from her many frierds. Miss Burkholder, a New Year baby of 1863, was born in Hamilton, Ont., of United Empire Loyalist stock, and came to Edmonton in 1812, : She resided in Hamilton until 1889, later attending the Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby, where she was appointed lady principal-- a position she Geld for 15 years. She also attended Victoria University in Toronto, and graduated from hoth colleges, majoring in English liter- ature, After leaving the Toronto university, in 1891, Miss Burkholder attended the University of Chicago, where she studied for her Ph. D. Due to illness, she was unable to com- | plete the course. When she came to this city she was appointed lady principal of Al. berta College South, where St, Stephen's college now stands, She was principal there for 13 years and later in 1925 taught art and Eng- lish at Alberta College North. Now, during her years of retire- ment, Miss Burkholder occupys her time gardening in summer--a hob- by, she says, that Keeps her out of doors. She is a fond reader of his. tory and keeps well posted on events of today. She is also fond of writing short sketches, and is working on the life and work of the late Rev. Qeorge MoDougall, whom McDougall Uni. ted church is named after, and is also working on a sketch of the his- tory of her own family, Miss Burkholder said one reason writing sketches appeals to her is that when she came west she found everything so very different from the east and it gave her many new ideas. Besides writing, reading and "a bit" of gardening, she finds time to paint in water cclors and when Christmas time rolls around she paints her own original Christmas greeting cards. During her travels through Jasper and Banff she made rough sketches of mountain scenery and a few notes, and today the walls of her home are hung with life- like pictures. Although now 85 years of age, Miss Burkholder said she is mot yet | ready to give up. She added, "I did- n't expect to live this long." y According to Miss Burkholder's friends she is as bright and keen and alive to people as ever. In honor of her birthday Mrs. W, H. Sterne entertained at a recep- tion New Year's Day at her home frem 3.00 to 500 p.m. About 20 guests called, including friends who attended the Ontario Ladies' Col. lege. For the occasion the tea table was centred with a birthday cake flanked by bouquets of yellow baby chrysanthemums. Presiding was Mrs. George Mac- donald and assisting in serving were Miss Margaret Ann Brine, Miss Hel. en Cormie, both students at Ontar- fo Ladies' College, and Mrs, J. W, Errington, Miss Burkholder was presented with a bouquet of roses from the guests, In Richmond Hill last night the Whitby Legionnaires received their second successive defeat in two nights at the hands of the fast- skating Diggins Jewellers who edged the local 9-6 in a free scor- ing encounter, Last evening's game saw Whit- by go out in front by three goals only to have the Toronto team overtake and defeat them. How- ever, the Legionnaires had no time to recuperate after Monday night's performance and the smaller ice surface could easily have been the cause of the upset, as Whitby shellacked this same team by five goals in their first encounter here in Whitby. During last night's performance the Legionnaires were every bit as good as the Jewellers but they lacked the breaks. The first and final frames of the tussle were very even and each team equalled the others scoring. It was the middle session which spelled dis- aster for the Legion as they al- lowed Diggins to go three up on them; a lead which the Toronto crew never dia relinquish. Never- theless, the hometown squad bat- tled all the way and were still in there trying at the final whistle. Speedy First In the initial frame = Whitby Diggins J ewellers Beat Whitby Legion Club 9-6 period the Whitby defence sud- denly fadded and poor clearing around the net had its effects as Diggins collected three markers, two of which were from scrambles and the other a screened shot minder no chance at all.. The which gave Chad, the locals net- Diggins goal-getters were Jean- nette, Imray and Gibbins, It was during this frame that Briley, the Diggins goalie, a form- er T.H.L. performer, made some beautiful saves, although most of the Legions shots were from diffi- cult angles. Tightening Up It was during the third and final period that some of the best hockey of the evening was shown. However, the Legionnaires had to make all the rushes while Diggins could merely wait for opportuni- ties. The play throughout the period had a see-saw effect as first one team tallied and then the other. The locals played heads-up hockey and with a few breaks might easily have tied the game, but fate deemed otherwise. Tod Lintner was the . Legionnaires sniper as he potted two and Me- Coy sank one while Diggins kept pace with Whitby by scoring three goals also. The teams stuck stariad off like a house afire tally- ing three times before the period was 10 minutes old. Their for- ward combinations were all over the opposition and sailed passed through the defence with ease. Furey opened the scoring with Maine and Bragg notching two more in Succession. At this point the Diggins machine suddenly tightened up and Briley in the opposing twine became really hot. Imray tallied twice for Diggins and before the period ended Me- Gowan scored to leave the teams veuilookey 8-3 at the end of the rst. ae...

The meeting was preceded by a largely attended sup- per, held at 6.30 pin, when the Sunday School hall was filled for an enjoyable social gathering, Owing to the illness of the min- ister, Rev, Charles A. Malcolm, the meeting was under the chairman- ship of Rev. A, M, Irwin. The session report indicated that the present membership of the church is 863, the largest in its his: tory. Sixty-five new members were received into the church during 1947, and against this there were 48 removals to other churches and eleven deaths, Members of the session continue as during the pass year.

The total amount of funds raised during the year by all organizations of the church was $13,208, an in- crease of almost a thousand dollars over the previous year, Of this amount $3,922 was raised for mis. sionary and other causes. The women's 'organizations were particularly successful in their year's achievements, The Women's Missionary Society reported a net of $1,140 of which $1,000 was for- warded to the Presbyterial treasury for missionary work, The Women's Hold Congregational Whitby United Church pu bg Association raised over $1,600 dur ing the year contributing largely to the local work of the church, ine cluding a substantial contribution to the parsonage fund. C The Board of Stewards reported on the project whic had been com. rleted in the renovation of the par. sonage, at an expenditure of $4,800, including considerable remodelling, and an entire new heating system, including an ofl burner, It is now belleved that the parsonage is in splendid condition, and will well serve its occupants for many years to come. Other organizations to report were the Men's Association, the Canadian Girls In Training, the Choir, the Young People's Union, and the Sunday School, Speaking for the latter, J. M. Hicks referred to plans now under consideration for expanding the school and es- tablishing classes for certain groups not served at present.

MacDonald would succeed Rowe, he said it was news to him. Burt sald the appointment of a new publicity man would be left to Hany Watson, President of Local 185. The agreement to allow the right. wingers to name the Rowe successor follows in line with reports that the right and left wing groups are setting aside factional differences. "There is a more evenly distrib- uted palance between the two points of view among Canadian staff members," Mr, Burt said. Mr. Burt also confirmed that un- der the move to settle differences, John Eldon, veteran international representative of the UAW. who was at one time slated for dismis- sal, is being retained.
