THE DAILY -T) MES-GAZETTE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1948 PAGE FOUR' LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Rusiness Office: Miss G. Macpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments JUNIORS WIA 3-2 BUT GANANOQUE ENTERS PROTEST' Recent Whitby Wedding Locals Win East Ont. Championship Subject to 0.B.A. Whitby Junior "B" base ball club came home from Napanee Saturday with the Eastern Ontario championship on their shoulders and a protest which might cost them the title in their pockets. After am arvelous game, Whitby made the closing score 3-2 by virtue of a hit by Don Yuill, bringing in Ken Macdonald who was on base. Gananoque lost the third of the two-out-of-three series. Jack. Macdonald'sg, Last night boys held a council-of-war in the Recreation Office. Gananoque has filed a protest to the Ontario Baseball Association on the eligibil- ity of player Don McGregor of Oshawa. They claim that under Ontario rules he is ineligible since he lives in Oshawa and therefore should be playing Junior "A". It was all right for McGregor to play in the local loop all summer as it had been agreed locally that three players could be released from Osh- awa. After its loss Saturday, Gan- anoque suddenly decided to take a dim view of this technical breach of rules though it is believed at this end of the line, that the east- ern club had previously been aware of McGregor's place of residence. It all remains to be seen and a decision is expected today. While it is an O.B.A, job to enforce the regulations, the association also has power to temper justice with mercy, Had the protest not been filed, Whitby would today be Eastern Ontario Champs and now be con- sidering playing Simcoe for a wid- er title. As it is,*they don't know where they stand. Possibly the game will be replayed. Certainly a replay order is the logical out- come of such a breach of rules. Fine Fun Saturday For Kids At Big Racing Car Event Don Heard, driving the Deverell's Garage entry, was a double winner in the Kinsmen Club Soap Box Derby Satur- day. He won the junior championship and an extra prize for the best built junior car. Bill Jermyn copped top honors in the senior race. . The other lad placing in the prizes was Bob Channen,* who had the best built senior car. "Look, he's really sizzling!" cried one of the Jads looking on as the cars whizzed down the ramp and on down the hill on Brock Street South in the finals when Bill Jermyn won the grand championship. Presenting the prizes which had® been donated by Donald Motor Sales, President Stan Martin said: "I am glad that so many turned out again to see the wonderful show these boys put on. The Kinsmen Club is particularly interested in sponsoring recreation like this which encourages boys to build with their hands and be original in their work." Recreation Director Gordon Mec- Mahon expressed his appreciation to those who had assisted in or- ganizing the race and to the lads who had taken part. Starter was Gordon Hawes and Mr. McMahon judged the close ones. The colorful galopies were first test. ed for running time and matched in classes to ensure fairness A fin- alist in the senior class who won last year in the same car, Glen Fleming ran into some hard luck when his car struck a post and broke an axle.

Mrs, Taylor touched on conditions in Japan, China and India, On her trip in Japan, she encountered many food, parcels sent from Canada and without exception these were deep- ly appreciative, They were amazed at its being possible such a short time after war ended for Canadians to extend helpfulness to a foreign land. In all countries there is great in- terest from non-Christian groups who wish to study Christianity along with other philosophies to de- termine for themselves what Chris- tian has to offer. Mission wagkers are needed and there are openings for them far* beyond the available supply. Mrs. Taylor concluded with a plea to take advantage of this strategic opportunity.

After that they are bidding goodbye to the "Varieties", which has been put on many times this year to enhance the reputation of Whitby entertain- ers and incidentally bring a hand- some financial profit. Scales Decrepit, Should They Go Or Stay Is Question Will the Town of Whitby weight scales soon be a thing of the past? Some other towns seem to get along without scales--are they a relic of the past -- or what? These questions are being ponder- ed by municipal officials today as a result of a recent report by Coun- cillor Seymour Whitney. "They're al] gone--the peams are eaten out," said Mr. Whitney. They've been con- demned by the inspector. Deputy-reeve Duncan McIntyre wonders if it is legally necessary for a town to maintain the scales. He also would like to know how the revenue therefrom stacks up against the cost of maintenance. When these questions are an- swered the fate of the scales will be known.

Power Cuts May Still Be Avoided If Public Saves Everything possible is being done by Whitby Publis Utility management to avoid town-wide domestic power cut-offs tomorrow and thereafter but this morning Superin- tendent Herb Pringle was not at all sure this could be avoided. The commission would like to give advance notice of the duration of power cuts but since this is entirely de- pendent upon local use, it cannot be known in advance. At least two local factories, Whitby Malleable Iron and Brass Company Limited and King Brothers are shutting down one Other firms will be asked, to do the same. If they wish, they can make up the working time on Satur- asked to be prepared for the em. barrassment of having to do with- out power for a period each day. It is stressed that this can be avoided if home owners will make a definite effort to see that their electric stove power usage is. re- duced 20 per cent per day at the present time. Though it may mean a small sacrifice, flat rate water heaters should be switched off for a time each day. If each family in town would pull the switch on their water heater from .bed time until morning, more serious cuts could be avoided. Ontario Hydro, burdened with growing pains, has added rural ex- tensions; accepted extensive orders for electrical equipment this past year; installed its own flat-rate water heaters; spent millions of dollars on new power sources some of which will be switched into the system this winter. It is an ex- panding public business which has temporarily overstepped itself. Since it is a public business it is the responsibility of the part-own- ers, the citizens of Whithy, to help their own business out of dif- ficulty.
