| Greater Oshawa Chest Fund Proceeds Are Distributed | "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE [Executive Pleased Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 7--NO. 283 OSHAWA-WHITBY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1948 PAGE THREE Times-G zette, CKDO Co-opera Fast Election Service To Provide Plans have beem completed be- tween The Oshawa Times-Gazette and Radio Station CKDO of this city for a fast, up-to-the-minute service of election returns to broad- cast over Oshawa's radio station on Monday evening next. The facilities of the news-gathering staff of The Times-Gazette will be merged with the broadcasting facilities of CKDO, with: the microphones set. up in the newspaper's news room, so that as fast as the results are received and compiled, they will be made avail- able for broadcasting. Owing to the fact that the con- cert of the Motor City Choir is being broadcast on Monday from 830 pm. to 10.15 pm, it will not be possible to have a continuous election broadcast throughout the evening. Plahg have been made, however, to have election broad- casts made at 7.30 p.m, 8.00 p.m, 820 p.m. approximately 9.15 p.m. and 1015 p.m., on the conclusion of the concert broadcast. In the event of results of special significance being available in the course of the concert, however, interruptions will be made in the program to make announcements of these. Citizens of Oshawa would therefore do well to keep tuned to Station CKDO throughout the evening, so as to be able to enjoy the concert of the | Motor City Choir and at the same time hear the election returns as they are broadcast. From 10.15 p.m. on, there will be practically a continuous service of election results until the definite selections of the voters are made | known. On account of the large number of candidates, it is realized that counting of the ballots will be a slow process, particularly if the vote is at all heavy, so that it may be late in the evening before con- clusive results are available. Run- ning summaries will be given, how- ever, on each of the broadcasts. Invitations to Candidates As a feature of the election broadcasts, candidates for the vari- ous municipal offices will have an opportunity of addressing. the electors over the air, after the 10.15 broadcast period, by wirich time the standing of candidates should be fairly well established. All can- didates for the various offices are cordially invited to come to the ffice of. The Times-Gazette at 10.15 pm., so as to be availablé for radio interviews on the results. It is hoped that all of the 41 candidates in the field will avail themselves of this opportunity. Telephone Service While "it is suggested that all citizens depend on the joint broad- cast of The Times-Gazette and CKDO for election returns, ar- rangements are being made to give a service of results to inquirers by telephone throughout the evening. On account of the large number of candidates, and the element of time involved in giving information over the telephone, it is proposed to give by telephone the ten leading can- didates for City Council and the five leading contenders for Board of Education up to the time of the latest summary, along with the standing of the vote for mayor and the Public Utilities Commission, Readers of The Times-Gazette are asked to be patient in their re- quests for information, and it would be appreciated if telephone calls were deferred until at least after 830 p.m. so as to leave the telephone lines clear for returns coming in to the office from the polling sub-divisions. While the polls close at 7 pm. it is not ex- pected that any significant figures will be available until after 8.30. With the type of radio broadcast election service which is planned, however, it is hoped that calls by telephone may be kept down to a minimum, but in any event, all telephones in The Times-Gazette office will be staffed and ready to give information. In addition to the broadcast serv- ice, the returns will be announced by loud speaker outside The Times Gazette office, by courtesy of Gen- eral Motors of Canada. Express Your Christmas Parcels at Early Date Montreal, December 3-- The im- portance of expressing Christmas parcels to points in Canada at an early date was stressed here by George H. Griffin, Manager of the Express Traffic Association of Can- ada. Traffic is expected to be heavy this year, and early shipping is ad- visable to avoid disappointment. To ensure delivery for Christmas to points in Canada the latest ship ping dates recommended by the Ex- press Companies are being pub- lished in the newspapers. For On- tario these latest dates are; to Bri- tish Columbia, December 14; to Al- berta and Saskatchewan, December 15; to Manitoba and Maritimes, De- cember 16; within the province and to Quebec, December 17.

Proposed cost is | $20,000, approximately $16,000 of which would be furnished by the federal and provincial govérnments. The Port Perry Community Hos= pital has been closed since Oct. 31, when an operating deficit of $4,000 forced the hospital board to an- nounce that no more patients would be admitted. This deficit, coupled 'with an acute nursing | shortage, has left 4,500 residents in | this area with no hospital facilities closer than Lindsay or Oshawa. While no action was taken to- night, the meeting heard a com- munication from Health Minister Russell T. Kelley, in which he said that with certain changes in the present building to bring it up to department standards, and a guar- | {antee of at least eight beds, it | could be carried on. | C~ Jd. Jeffreys, treasurer of the hospital board, told the meeting | that the three townships, surround- | ling Port Perry, Reach, Scugog and | Cartwright, had not paid their | share of the deficit during the two- | and-a-half years the hospital oper= | ated. Reeve Thomas Harding of Reach | Township replied: "We were given {to understand it would be a public hospital, but no public charter was |granted. I even arranged a meet- {ing with the healtH minister before I knew the closing notice was on !the door." Herbert. Brooks, board chairman, said, "We were led to believe it would be able to qualify as a pub- lic hospital, but some question came up about fire protection, and the hospital didn't comply." Mr. Brooks claimed to many people had not shown enough interest until they found the doors closed. Name A.J. Graves Life Honorary Legion Padre A. J. Graves, who has been padre of the Oshawa Branch of the Cana- dian Legion since its inception, and prior to that was padre of the for- mer Great War Veterans Associa- tion, a period of service extending over 30 years, was last night ap- pointed as honorary padre of the Legion for life. This honor was conferred on Mr. Graves in the course of the annual nominations, when it was pointed out that the beloved Legion padre, on account of his advanced years, 'did not feel that he could carry on the duties of active padre any long- er. Sincere tributes were paid to the self-sacrificing services of Mr. Graves over a long period of years, and there was unanimous assent to the resolution that he be appointed life honorary padre of the branch. , No definite action was taken to appoint a 'successor to Padre Graves city who have records of service with the armed forces as chaplains are to be approached with a view to having one of them take over that nffice in the Legion OF JAPANESE ORIGIN Jujitsu, which means "the gentle art of self defense", has been prac- tised in Japan for 2,600 years.

MPS EEL ANNOY. DER". Canadian Cemetery at Bergen Op Zoom, Hclland, where one thousand Canadians who lost the' lives in World War II are buried. This picture was sent to Mrs. George Hatch of Oshawa by Mrs, W. McDermott of Port Robinson, who had read in a newspaper an "In Memoriam" notice for Mrs. Hatch's son, who had been killed in Holland. Mrs. McDermott's husband had just returned from a visit to the cemetery in Holland and had brought this picture back with him. He reported that the Dutch people are taking a keen interest in of Beauty, maintaining the cemetery as a place Newcastle Boy Regains Consciousness After 19 Days In Keith Rogerson, 12-year-old New- castle youngster who fell from a horse on November 13 and had been unconscious since the accident, re- gained consciousness again' yester- day morning, after 19 days:, Keith's condition has been improving grad- ually during the last few das, and yesterday morning he gave the first signs of returning consciousness when he told his nurse "I've had enough" as he was being given his breakfast. Keith's injuries, according to doc- tors at the Oshawa General Hos- pital( were a fractured skull and abrasions to his left leg. The nerves of the brain were reported damaged in the fall, and the nature of the skull fracture had prevented an op- eration. On Intravenous Feeding On intravenous feeding for sever- al weeks since his accident, Keith had been very thin until he was given regular feedings within the last few days, according to his fath- er, Charles E. Rogerson. "But they are really slinging the food into him now," he said. "They phoned me yesterday morning at eleven o'clock," Mr. Rogerson said, "and told me Keith wanted m.e I didn't waste any time getting there. The kid was all smiles, even though he is still pretty weak." "The nurse asked him, 'aren't you going to say hello to your dad?' and he 'tried to say hello, but he's still not strong, and it didn't sound like much," said Mr. Rogerson. Now that the long and nerve- wracking wait for Keith to'recover consciousness has ended, Mr. Rog- erson's first thought when inter- viewed by the Times-Gazette was to express his gratitude for the kindness of all the staff members and doctors at the Oshawa General Hostpital, who had done so much to help Keith, particularly the day and night nurses who had cared for the child. The day nurse was so interested, he said, that she asked for a picture of Keith to keep. Family Hurriez to Hespital As soon as the news of Keith's recovery was released, several of his brothers and sisters hurried to the hospital to say 'hello' and con- gratulate. Keith. One of the most interested was Eileen, Keith's pretty blonde twin sister. Also at the hos- - | pital were brothers Harold and Charlie, and sister Ida. Keith and Eileen are the youngest of a fam- ily of seven children. "He is still a little confused," said Harold, but you: can tell that he recognizes us dll. He keeps looking from ofie to the other of us, and smiling a mile wide." Dr. Grant L. Bird, who had been in charge of the case, explained "Hospital that Keith had not fully recovered consciousness, but was making good progress. He stated that it would be some time before Keith is able to leave the hospital. Associated with Dr. Bird on the casg were Dr. Chas. J. Austig, of B6Wmanville, and Dr. 0. G. Mills and A. K. Mighton of Oshawa. Contest All Council Seats At Bowmanville Showing the keenest interest for years in municipal nominations, a representative gathering of the Bowmanville electorate filled the council. chamber and many had to stand for three hours while names of candidates were filed and for the reports and speeches which fol- lowed.

Whitby Patient Alarms Woman At Bethesda Bethesda, Dec..3--Mrs. Jack Cook, of this district, received the fright of her life on Tuesday afternoon when she was alarmed to gee a strange-looking man wandering around her home, peering into the windows, and acting in a very pe- culiar manner. The doors of the house were locked, and the man made no .at- tempt to force his way in, but when Mrs. Cook saw him gathering up some rocks and placing them on the window sills, she telephoned to a- neighbor, Everton White, for as- sistance. Mr. White hurried over to the Cook home, and found the man still wandering around. On being asked what he was doing there, his only reply was that he was hun- gry. He offered no objections when Mr. White placed him in his car, and drove him to Bowmanville, where he was turned over to the town police. It developed that' the man had that same day escaped from the Ontario Hospital at Whitby, and he was very promptly returned to that institution.

Legion Votes $50 To Help Seal Drive Oshawa Branch No. 43, Canadian Legion, at its meeting last night, de- cided to make a contribution of just over $50 to the Kiwanis Club anti- tuberculosis campaign funds. This was the response made to a re- quest for a donation of $2.00 for Christmas seals. When the letter from the Kiwanis Club was read, Ben Jacklin, busi- ness manager of the Legion, said that there was a sum of $48.25 which had been raised at a concert some months ago, and which was earmarked to be used for some anti-tuberculosis organization. As no specific organization to receive the money had ever been designate ed, the money had been held in the funds pending future disposition. The members of the branch were in agreement that it should be paid over to the Kiwanis Club for its work in combatting tuberculosis, so that, instead of $2.00 that club will receive a cheque for $50.25. BAN PACKAGES Ottawa, Dec. 3.--(CP)--The gov- ernment has decided to save a few more American dollars by banning tomatoes already done up in celo- phane packages.
