Their observations contributed to the evidence that led to a charge of conspiring to register bets and to make book against James McElroy, 72, of 13% King street west, John Raymond Keyes, 48, Queens Hotel, and Edward Henry Williams, 64 of 77 Gibbons street. : The three men were commit- ted for trial by Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs, following a pre- liminary hearing in the Oshawa court Friday. All three had elected trial before a judge and jury. The testimony: of OPP Con- stable David Mitchell, of the anti-gambling squad, and a total, of 18 exhibits entered by Crown Attorney W. Bruce Affleck were deemed sufficient evidence by Magistrate Ebbs to justify a trial. Constable Mitchell said he and other police officers made observations from the hotel room window on at least three occasions for a period of up to four and a half hours. On one of these occasions, he said, he shot} 200 feet of color motion picture film with a movie camera equipped with a telephoto lens.

Walker, president of General Motors of Canada, has granted permission for employees to participate in a payroll deduc- tion plan. Five other plants have also indicated their will- ingness to participate in this program along with theh city. Each worker will be asked to contribute 40 cents out of his pay cheque each week for the next three years, "and from this," he said, 'we hope to raise half a million dollars." Estimated cost of the civic auditorium is a million dollars. The balance of half a milion will be raised through public subscription and from industry.

Kelly, Oshawa barrister, doesn't watch the television productions of Perry Mason and Sam Benedict, he told members of the Oshawa Life Underwriters' Association . Friday. "Our profession is a little more down to earth," he ex- plained. Mr. Kelly said that although most of his work is done in the courtroom, it revolves around accidents, charges arising from the Highway Traffic Act and the Criminal Code. Offering helpful hints to any- one involved in a traffic acci- dent, he suggested that before a statement is given to police, one should demand protection of Section 143 of the Highway Traffic Act. "Then, any statement that is given can't be used in evidence against you,"' he said. Mr. Kelly said breathalizer and blood tests are not compul- sory and he advised, through experience, not to submit to one. He said such refusal can't be used against an accused. Mr. Kelly said when a law- yer has a case before the Supreme Court he _ should "never ask a question unless he 'ope. % knows what the answer is going to be."
