Took Law Into His Own Hands, Draws Jail Term ------ Declaring that persons living under British justice would not be allowed -to take the law into their own hands, Magistrate Russell P. Locke, K.C., yesterday sentenced | Rudy Cziranka, Christie Street, to 10 days in jail on conviction on al charge of 1940. ife and family. assault occasioning bod- | ily harm against Frank Kortezz, a ighbor. Bg noe charge was the culmination of a neighborhood brawl on July 28 which lasted most of the day. In connection with the same brawl, Kortezz was bound over on a bond of $100 to keep the peace for one year and a charge of using obscene language was withdrawn. Evidence showed that police were called twice to Christie Street on July 28, once in the afternoon when neighbors objected to language used by Kortezz and once after Cziranka had punched Kortezz on the mose, reaking it. b ES told the court that the trouble started in the afternoon when neighborhood children threw stones at him and called him names, He denied swearing at any time, stating that he was a Roman Catholic and to swear was against his morals. He admitted, however, that a policeman had come to his home and had told him to behave himself. - In the evening, he said, he went to the police station and on re- turning he was accosted on the street by Cziranka, who, he claim- ed, punched him on the nose with- out warning. He denied that there had been words passed between the two before the assault or that he had laid hands on accused. Police witnesses said that when Kortezz had visited the police sta- tion he had been drinking but was not intoxicated, Kortezz had used filthy language against him, his wife and child and had offered to fight him. In the evening he had stopped Kortezz on the street and told him to stop using such lan- guage, he said, and complainant had grabbed him by the shoulder. He thought Kortezz was about to hit him, accused said, and had hit him first, "If every family in Oshawa took the law into their own hands to punish people for what they con- sider a wrong, we would have a condition something like Germany under Hitler," Magistrate Locke said in passing sentence. "You are under British Jaw now and you had no excuse to take the law into your own hands." Save Qil Tank In Harbor Fire Firemen of the Oshawa Fire De- partment from Cedar Dale Station narrowly averted a serious oil tank fire 'on Saturday afternoon when they put out a blaze in oil soaked ground 75 feet from the tanks.

The firemen had . to cut through a metal fence and lay 800 feet of hose in order to reach the blaze.

Alberta Set For Election Edmonton, Aug. 16--(CP)--Alber- to tomorrow registers its reaction to its Social Credit government's bid for a fourth straight term in office, More than 450,000 voters have, be- sides, the choice of electing to pow- er either C.C.F. or Liberal parties. For the 11th legislature's 57 seats 173 candidates have been nominat- ed. There's a Social Credit candi- date in every constituency. The C. C.F. is contesting 51, the Liberals 49, ang the independents movement (in the last legislature the official opposition) nine. In aadition there are three Independent Social Cre= dit, two Labor-Progressives, and two others. : The government dominated the recently-dissolved 10th legislature, holding 51 seats, Radio campaigns of all three wound up Saturday. Sunday Liberal Leader Harper Prowse mac. his last appeal for support at a Liberal par- ty picnic attended by 700 persons. Tonight Premier Manning addresses a rally winding up the Social Credit campaign. Climax of the C.C.F. drive was reached last week when Alberta Leader Elmer E. Roper teamed with national leader M. J. Coldwell to ad- dress 1,200 supporters -- the cam- paign's largest audience. Mr. Prowse, 35-year-old leader of Alberta's resurgent Liberals said Premier Manning's government had "frittered away" the Social Credit policies it inherited from the late William Aberhart. Liberals, accused of being "old line," in turn considered Premier Manning and his followers "older in their minds" and more conserva- tive than members of any other party. Public ownership of electric pow- | er, a major election issue, also is subject of a plebiscite to be submit- ted tomorrow, _ Polling begins through the prov- | ince at 9 a.m, tomorrow and con- | tinues until 6 p.m. rurally and 7 pm. in the larger cities--Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat and Leth- bridge.
