Junior and Senior teams from OCVI, Oshawa; OCCI, Oshawa; Bowmanville, Richmond Hill, and Pickering made up the nearly 150 girls who took part. The tournament was all part of the Physical Health Education pro- gram of the schools and is based |b. on full participation by all stu- dents and not purely to produce an outstanding single team which ¢ is excellent only as a spectator sport. ' The core program is a series of sports and physica) exercises which takes the agony out of for- mer physical training exercises and yet produces the same re8ults. The program follows the seasons throughout the school year and is much the same' for both boys and girls with some modification, of course. The girls play speedball in the ys stick to foot- fall while the all. Si ball is something like a combination of soccer and bas- ket ball. This is followed by volley ball, a game which is played in the gon a nton comes next and bas- SALLY'S SALLIES ~ I Cont. 1953, King Features Syndicate, Inc., World rights reserved. 7 "They said I could eat everything if I took their reducing 3 : of 1 did and gained --30 pounds." ws.

[Judge Bans Case Report STRATFORD (CP) -- Two psy- chiatrists, called by the crown in a trial within a frial, were heard here Monday before" a jury which has to decide if a Canadian Army paratrooper, Reuben Norman of Nithburg is mentally capable of standing trial for murder. The sanity trial was adjourned until today after evidence was given by Dr. Charles S. Tenant, psychiatrist of the Ontario depart- ment of health; and Dr. William A. Cardwell, superintendent of the On- "It seems better to face the sit- uation as it is rather than to go on with these interminable stop- pages," said Lt.-Gen. K. S. Thi- mayya, Indian chairman of the neutral nations repatriation com- mission. Thimayya met for four hours Monday night with the Communist high command at Kaesong. He told a press conference he would see the Red generals again in two or three days. + It appears likely that the Com- munist explanation Lignan will collapse unless eds abandon slowdown tactics and agree to new rules laid down by Thimayya. Observers said there seems lit- tle chance that they will agree. There have been growing indica- tions that the Communists want, to escape from the explanation pro- gram which has cost them a humil- Reds iating propaganda defeat. So far, 97 per cent of the Chinese and North Koreans interviewed have refused to return to their Com- munist homelands. ODD LOTS The Indian general told the re- patriation commission he can see no solution to the stalemate unless the Reds agree to two new rules: Call out and interview complete compounds of 500 prisoners each at a time, or agree to forget about odd lots of prisoners not inter- viewed in any single day. Allied and Communist staff ad- visers meanwhile met in private for the third time. And for the second day Allied negotiators cal- led a recess to study a Commun- ist statement in connection with efforts to arrange an da for THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, November 10, 1088 ¥ 11953 Vehicle Sales Well Over Last Year's OTTAWA (CP) -- Sales of new motor vehicles slipped in Septem- ber for the first time this year, declining to $75,755,000 from $78, 771,000 a year ago. ; However, the total for the first nine months of 1953 was still sharply higher than 1952, swelling to $943,362,000--up about $166,000, 000 from $777,778,000, the bureau of statistics reported Monday." With sales of trucks and other commercial vehicles dropping, to- tal vehicles sold in ptember slipped to 30,029 from 31,936 last year. This had little impact on the nine-month total which rose to 375,897 from 309,464. oo hind month in September, with 7,584 units selling for $19,992,000 com- pared to 9,597 retailing for $25,- 320,000 last year.

American envoy Arthur Dean and the chief Red Chinese and North Korean diplomats, who failed to solve the agenda controversy in 11 meetings, are in recess while two staff advisers from each side tackle the problem. London's Best LONDON * (CP)--Prime Minister Churchill, soon to meet with Presi- dent Eisenhower and French Pre- mier Joseph Laniel in a Big Three meeting, has warned both oppos- ing sides in the Trieste dispute to be cautious in the quarrel over the disputed territory. In a general review of foreign affairs to the Lord Mayor's ban- quet Monday night, Churchill ad- vised extremists on both the Italian and Yugoslav sides to 'keep quiet' and "behave" during the tense situation brought on by the British- American decision to withdraw their troops from the occupied ter- ritorial zone. tario Hospital at Penetanguish Mr. Justice Wishart Spence is- sued a court order prohibiting pub- lication of evidence unless Norman is found not mentally fit to stand trial in the shooting of Jean Marie Satche,, 17, of Stratford last Feb. 2. Last May a Supreme Court jury found him unfit for trial. He has been in hospital at Penetangui- shene since then until Sept. 14. Dead Man's Hat Found by Boy BARRIE (CP)--A hat worn nine days ago by a youngster as part of a Hallowe'en costume has been identified- as belonging fo Fred (Scotty) Cameron, Toronto invest- ment house messenger whose bul- let-riddled body was found Oct. 30 in a ditch near here. Rickey Fatherby, 9, found the brown hat in a ditch near Stroud the day Cameron's body was dis- covered. He used'it on Hallowe'en as part of his costume. It was turned over to police Monday. Officers said it was likely the hat was thrown from a car by the killers after they shot Cameron and dumped his body in the ditch. Police said no further progress has been made in solving the case. The resulted in troop movements by both Italy and Yug- oslavia, and deadly violence last week in the city of Trieste itself. Churchill referred to "mobs, either Fascist or Communist" as behind the trouble. EASE TENSION Generally, the prime minister's peech to the banquet called for "time and patiefice and goodwill" to ease world tension, although he conceded that the world is in an "awful muddle." He cautioned against letting 'foolish speech' in- flame Anglo-American relations, Sir Winston Ignores Meal an apparent reference to critigism in some British quarters of State Secretary Dulles of the United States, and in the U.S. Congress of Churchill's prodding for immed- jate big-power talks with Russia. He made no reference to the coming Big Three meeting, on which word leaked out almost as he spoke. There has been no offi- cial announcement yet. The banquet had all the ancient trappings--and also the most im- pressive menu since before the war. BARON OF BEEF Lining the way from the en- trance to the Guildhall to the li- brary were men of the Honorable Artillery Company, in medieval uniforms and clasping 14-foot pikes. The bemedalled 'Churchill, his spectacles down over his nose, stared across the gold plate a the most succulent piece of choic beef served at a Guildhall banquet in years. Churchill, however, waved most of the elaborate fare away. Afterwards he was whisked through the streets at 70 miles an hour to help the Conservatives win a vote of confidence in the House of Commons on a Labor motion of censure on the government's farm policies. Tobacco Crop Nearly All Sold SIMCOE (CP)--An estimated 95 per cent of flue-cured tobacco crop in Norfolk county and all other areas except Essex county has been purchased by buying compan- ies, officials estimate.

But, of course, all that happened was that he got neither: for one was only a shadow, and the other was carried away by the current. MORAL: Make it your first aim to hold on to what is already yours.
