Hall adjourned a theft trial Wednesday in Ontario County criminal court to give the ac- cused an opportunity "to con- sider his loyalty to the other thieves," Barton Maurice McKee, 23, of Toronto pleaded guilty to steal- ing $600 from the Annandale Golf and Country Club near Pickering. He was remanded on bail until Feb. 3 for sentence. His lawyer, Claude Bynoe of Toronto, said McKee was not the ringleader, but was the fourth man who was supply- ing the transportation. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck said the theft occurred about 9 p.m., July 1, 1964, He said the proprietor identified McKee in a police lineup. Mr. Affleck said the proprie- tor gave chase in and SHOULD GIVE CENTENNIAL GRANT TO PROJECT -- GIFFORD Centennial Pool is the name. The Civic Audi- torium site on Thornton road south is the place. And the cost could reach one- third of a million dollars. City Council settled the first two problems in com- mittee Wednesday night. On cost, Mayor Lyman Gifford said council should be prepared to allocate the city's centennial grant of $183,000 to the construction of the proposed pool. And, he said, he hoped Civic Auditorium directors could raise "a minimum of" $150,000. Council backed this finan- cial plan and approved the idea of the city's property committee "augmenting" the Auditorium directors' group to get the pool built. These directors have pledged to put on a cam- paign to raise $100,000 "'in the. event City Council should decide to locate... . at the Civic Auditorium site," according to a letter from their committee chair- man, E. R. S. McLaughlin. Mr. McLaughlin, in a let- ter dated last Friday, said plans would include can- vassing 2,636 new General Motors employees. "These people can be can- vassed in addition to other new employees at plants and businesses - throughout the city," he wrote. NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS Mr. McLaughlin said there are 'numerous private in- dividuals" who would assist a swimming pool project, and others 'who have indi- cated they wish to increase City Swim Pool May Cost $333,000 their donations to the Audi- torium project.

WHITBY (Staff) -- A police officer said in Ontario County criminal court Wednesday he overheard one of the suspects in the National Grocers' rob- bery say: "I wish I had shot the manager." Sergeant of Detectives Wil- liam Jordan of the Oshawa police was testifying at the trial of Gerald Pomery and Larry Kulik, both 17. They pleaded recovered. Only Part Of Dinner Cost-Crone The city has been asked (and jhas agreed) to pay only a part lof the cost of the civic dinner ifor St. Therese, Quebec, Cham- ber of Commerce members, Ken Crone, president of the OshawChamber, said today. "The Oshawa Chamber is paying for other expenses in- curred during the all-day visit," said Mr. Crone. City council Monday approved bg expenditure of up to $400 for the civic dinner but Ald. Margaret Shaw opposed _be- cause the city has no written policy on .entertaining. "This city's Chamber of Com- merce invited them," Ald. Shaw told council. '"'When I ask my next-door neighbors in for. din- ner I don't ask them to bring the pie." Mr. Crone said about 250 per- sons will attend the dinner in th tel Genosha, including 12@ members of the St. Ther- ese Chamber, local Chamber members: and members of city council.

Pomery also pleaded guilty to possession of an un- registered revolver, Sgt. Jordan said Pomery told him they had been planning the robbery for two years. Loot was estimated at $6,981 in cash and cheques. Judge Alex C, Hall remanded the youths in custody until Jan. 29 for sentencing. Sgt.

Clifford Pilkey, a Pub- lic Works committee member for the last two years, said: "He has never been refused the co-operation of anyone on the committee. | "Mr. Cahill did make some complaints last year and prom- ised to put them in writing to the committee. We are still waiting." Council hired Mr. Cahill in September, 1963. He took over the following month and was to be responsibile for three city departments: (the administra- tion and co-ordination of) public works, parks, property and re- creation and engineering. Mayor Gifford said last night he suggested to Mr. Cahill the Board of Works and parks de- partments should be 'put in shape" first before taking over in engineering. "He was to have charge of the engineering department only as far as administration of the department was concern- ed," said the mayor. "I would not accept his re- com dations on i ing because Mr. Cahill is not an engineer." This latter statement was in reply to a question on why Mr. Cahill was over-ruled om a re- cent sewer program question when council accepted the ad- vice of City Engineer Fred Crome. "He (Mr. Cahill) has always} followed up what I asked him to do," stressed the mayor. "He ried a .38 calibre revolver and Pomery had a .22 caljbre rifle without a stock. rf A juvenile actomplice _re- mained outside the building be- side the manager's car which they used to escape with the loot, he said. In a statement to police which was read in court, Pomery said Kulik yelled "this is a stickup" and ordered the manager, Ewart Carswell, 46, to give them the money from the cash register and the safe. He told police Kulik then ordered the manager to line up against the wall with -the others. There were three em- ployees in the office at the time, Frank Markey, 44, his son, Gerrard, 18, and James Bryant, 20. Pomery said the rifle acci-| dentally discharged when he reached the getaway car. Kulik said in a_ statement they drove to Grandview street, parted company with the juve- nile and then boarded a bus for downtown Oshawa, pants and rubber boots.

It is an elaborate program-type booklet, describing the activities of the French Summer School, held in the fall of each year, in the City of Quebec, at Laval University. Richard "Tiny" Townsend, son of Dr. and Mrs. Murray Townsend, was the winner of a special bursary for the Laval University's French Summer School, donated by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, of which Dr. Townsend is a member. At the conclusion of the 1964 school, the students were enter- tained at a reception by Prime Minister John Lesage of Que- bec. During the reception, the guests beseiged their host for his autograph and numerous shots of this traditional cere- mony were obtained. In the booklet recently pub- lished, announcing the dates and classes for the Laval Uni- versity's 29th French Summer School, this year, one of these pictures, showing Quebec's Prime Minister shaking hands with one of the 1964 graduates, has been used: The graduate in the picture?

Hayward Murdoch, who took over as acting mayor dur- ing Mayor Gifford's five month stay (February to June, 1964) in hospital, said he okayed Mr, Cahill's taking-over the engin- eering department. ' "He was given every co-oper- ation," Ald. Murdoch said last night. 'Maybe we got off on the wrong foot by making him re- sponsible to council. It would have been better to have him report directly to Board of Works. "He has been buffered by the job." Said Ald. Christine Thomas: "A layman in charge of engin- etrs can never really work. He should have been put in charge of all departments; he would 'have got better co-operatiqn." Mayor Gifford said Mr. Ca- hill was "not too happy" with the announcement that a com- mittee would be set up to re- view the Woods, Gordon 1962 re- port, with special attention to two departments -- those of the|. Director of Operations and the Treasurer. (The W-G report recommend- ed hiring a Director of Opera- tions and suggested his duties). "He resented not being told of this beforehand," said the mayor. "But I told him this was a policy matter, that we (the council) set policy and that de- partment heads are not brought in on policy unless we invite them." NO DIFFICULTY IS FORESEEN Terence V. Kelly, finan- cial chairman of the audi- torium committee, said to- day he does not foresee any difficulty in collecting the $150,000 for the proposed Civic Auditorium pool. "The work force in the eity has increased by ap- proximately 4,000 more than it was during the original campaign," he said, "and we have in our favor the fact that a successful start has been made." Mr. Kelly said this is the second phase which will make the project "the fin- est of its kind in Canada."
