Reported .to the Police Station at 2.40 p.m., although it happened at 10.30 am. was an accident on Bond Street East. Sydney Bateson, 160 Cadillac Avenue South, report- ed that his car, which was parked a meter, was sideswiped by a car driven by William Marshall. The car's left side was dented and scraped, while damage to the other car is not known. At 2.40 pm. Edward Brantnell Moncton, N.B., was driving along Simcoe Street North when the car in front of him signalled for a left turn. He says he kept right and that the lady driver ahead turned right instead of left and smacked into the left side of his car. Mrs. Georgina Prouse of Brook- lin, the lady driver, told police that she was looking for a church on a street corner so that she could turn down that street, and she put out her hand to signal that she was slowing down. Then, from ind and hit her car's right side. Damages to the cars were a broken left front fender, and headlight for the Brantnell car, and dented right doors to the Prouse car. Another car driven by a lady, Mrs. G. Clarke of 182 Gibbon Street, and one driven by a man met with a crash at the Prince and Bond Streets intersection yes- terday at 250 -p.m. Harry W. O'Brien of Rockcliffe, Ontario told police that he was crossing Prince Street at 10 miles per hour when he saw the other car coming to- wards him. He accelerated in order to avoid a crash, but didt make it. Mrs. Clarke said that she stopped at the intersection, looked both out in to the intersection and came into collision with the O'Brien car. Her car suffered $10 damage to the right front fender. The O'Brien car had damage to the left rear fender. 11 Die In Ice Boxes Oshawa, was dismissed by Mag- istrate N. A. Gianelli in court this morning. The complainant, Philip Druz, 750 Ritson Road South, owns the Conant Street property. He claim- ed that he had never known Hunt, that Hunt had moved into his house and was not paying any rent. 5 The accused admitted moving into the house July 29, but said he had several discussions with Druz beforehand. The owner did not want to rent, but was willing to sell. Hunt arranged to give him a $100 down payment right after Civic Holiday. However, when that time came, the accused said, Druz demanded $70 rental money. It was revealed later that Druz actually had no legal right to rent the property until certain repairs were made. It was also reason- ably established that discussions | had taken place previous to the Hunt family moving in. Fowever, Druz maintained that he hadn't given the accused the key, even though Hunt was able to exhibit it in court. John Regan, counsel for the ac- cused, pointed out the Hunts were not unlawfully in the place. He submitted case could not be judged on the basis of a contested title or inter- est in the property, since that was o His Worship that the.) beyond the court's jurisdiction. Furthermore, defence counsel de- clared his clients were anxious to leave the place as soon as possible. In dismissing the charge, Magis- trate Gianelli advised Mr. Hunt to follow his lawyer's suggestion. Fine In Careless Driving Case James Simpson, R.R. No. 1, North Oshawa, was convicted this por A of careless driving and fined and court costs or five days. The charge arose from an accident on July 25 at the corner of Palace and Dundas Streets in Whitby. Jack Tate of Whitby had his car turned over on its top at 2.30 a.m. of that day as he was taking a left hand turn on to Palace. He testified that the Simpson car was sufficiently far back for him to attempt the turn, but that it rammed in to the back of his car Just as he got around the corner. en he crawled from the over- turned car, he saw Simpson run- ning down the street.

Street Signs Seem Confusing For Visitors Some of Oshawa's street signs must be a mite confusing to tour- ists. Walking north on Albert Street one sees a sign pointing up Wilkinson Street that says "One Way". A sign right beside it and faced in the same direction says "Do Not Enter". The immediate reaction is to think that the first sign should read "No Way". Actually the 'Do Not Enter" s does not refer to Wilkinson but to the more northern section of Albert Street. Still, who can tell. Those signs on the back of the oSiop Through Street" posts add a little more to the puzzle. They run at right angles to the street. Usu- ally, street signs run parallel to the thoroughfare. A some of the city's intersec- amuse themselves in idle mo- ments figuring out which name belongs to which street.
