Injured WHITBY (Staff) -- An eight- year-old Whitby boy was knocked down and seriously in- jured yesterday afternoon while walking home from school. Stephen Robertson, of 414, Mary street, Whitby, was in- volved in the accident at the corner of Ash and Mary street. He was taken to Oshawa Gen- era! Hospital with fractured skull and fractured pelvis. Driver of the car involved was William Richard Thomas of Greenwood. Judgment Deferred In Stab-Assault Case It was. a 200-pound trained boxer and weightlifter with "lethal fists' versus a 21-year- old Oshawa man°with some 10 pints of beer inside him. And, as Magistrate Jermyn heard at Oshawa Court yester- day, both ended up in hospital with serious injuries after a battle at the Tee Pee Drive-In, Pickering. Before the court was Joseph Roberts, 21, of 439 Fairlawn avenue, Oshawa, who pleaded not to a charge of assault cau bodily harm by stab- bing 39-year-old Dell Trudeau, a trained weightlifter from Cherrywood. Giving evidence Trudeau said) that he had gone to the Drive- In to pick up his children, He picked them up outside the pro- jection building. Then, he said, a man suddenly appeared knocking on his car window and shouting obscenities. "SHOVED KNIFE INTO ME" He got out of the car to see what the man wanted and he "shoved a knife into me". "I did not know where- he stabbed me. I did not feel a thing at first. I thought he had just punched me in the stom- ach." Trudeau retaliated by knock- ing Roberts to the floor at least 10 times. He said that he did not know why Roberts had struck him in the first place but he "wasn't taking an chances with the knife'"'. Trudeau said after the fight he left the Drive-In and started to drive to the police station. On the way he discovered his shirt was wet -with blood and there was a hole in his stomach. He then decided to go back to the Tee Pee to hold Roberts until the police arrived. When he arrived he asked one of his children to phone the po- lice. He met Roberts coming out of the washroom building Trudeau admitted that he got the best of this fight too. He added that he spent the next six days in hospital recovering from a four inch knife wound, Trudeau, who told the court he had been taking weightlift- ing and boxing lessons for years,-was described by a doc- tor in later evidence as a "'very muscular man'. Terence Ryan, an usher at the movie, said he went into the washroom on the night of the stabbing and saw Roberts wash- ing the blood from his face. He said he heard Roberts say- ing: "Somebody sucked me in, but I stabbed him." He added that he saw Roberts take a knife with red on it from one Terence Ryan senior, the ush- ers father, said he also enter- Roberts say: "Don't worry I really got him." "Trudeau," he said, "'opened ite go to the Drive-In restaurant to pocket and put it in another.) get séme food. As he walked a ed the. washroom and_heard|hi Drive-In and I saw a hole I could have shoved my thumb into." On the witness stand Joseph Roberts said that he had gone to the Drive-In with his girl friend. He was, he said, a Gen- eral Motors employee. At the time of the incident he was on strike and had been on picket duty during the afternoon. He had been drinking during the day, he said, while on the picket duty outside the Motors. He continued the drinking at the Drive-In. During the day he said he had consumed some nine or ten pints of beer. At about midnight, he went on; he had left the car alone to car pulled up very close to him. He heard the driver shouting at m. "Trudeau," he said, "got out of the car and hit me. I don't know why." I went down on the first blow. I got up and he his shirt on his return to the knocked me down again. My Despite -a' normal drop in attendance for the time of year, authorities at McLaughlin Col- legiate are pleased with pro- gress of night classes. Attendance for January stood around 650 students, compared to a pre-Christmas average of 800 attending. George Roberts, principal of McLaughlin Collegiate, said the drop was normal at this time, and said it was a similar com- plaint of night schools across Canada. "The reasons are found in human nature," he said, "for it is quite a challenge for a lot Night Classes Well Attended of adults to get their noses back to the grindstone after Christ- mas holidays."' While the attendance was down, he said, the actual num- ber of courses had increased since December. A Retail Management course for independent businessmen, sponsored by the locat Cham- ber of Commerce, and run by the Department of Education, has been added along with Accounting and Management classes for garage operators, also under the direction of the department. nose was broken in the fight and I began to choke on my blood." Trudeau kept on hitting him again and again. He said that he had not retaliated. USED KNIFE ONCE : "Then I thought of the knife. I used it once and the beating stopped. I thought that the knife would be the only way of stopping him from hitting me." During the fight, he said, his nose was broken, teeth were knocked out, his cheek bone was fractured and he had to have four stitches in his mouth. His eye was also damaged. He was in hospital for nine days recovering. In cross examination, Roberts said that he could have drunk as much as 13 or 14 pints of beer during the day. The knife he had used to stab Trudeau, he said, was not the one produced in-court. This was another he kept in the glove compartment of his car. The one he had used had disap- peared when he left the wash- room. Summing up for his client, John Greer said that a man was entitled to defend himself if he believed his life was in danger. He was also entitled to use any weapon. "Here was a man (Trudeau)," Mr. Greer said, '"'who can lift a 200 Ib. weight above his head with one hand. He makes a sadistic attack on Roberts for no reason at all. This man had lethal fists. Roberts was en- titled to defend himself." Crown Attorney Bruce Af- fleck replied that he wished "more citizens would do what Trudeau had done if a_ knife was produced." "Roberts," he said, "got what he deserved. He stabbed Tru- deau in the first place." Magistrate Jermyn adjourned judgement on the case until February 22.

The appeal was filed by the developers, A. W. Ban- field Construction Limited, William Ridgely Limited and D. W. Wilson, all of Osh- awa. Dr. E. G. Faludi of Town Planning Consultants Limi- ted, called to the witness stand by the township's so- licitors, T. K. Creighton and Gilbert Murdoch of Osh- awa, gave evidence on the general principles of plan- ning and said the whole area should .be considered to have proper planning. The sub-division, planned west of Garrard road and north of Manning road, was to have been completed in four stages. The first stage was registered, but the town- ship planning board and three stages remaining un- completed. Graham Adams, head of the sub-division planning branch of the Ontario de- rartment of municipal af- fairs, testified yesterday that the situation was first brought to his attention in 1959. He said the township's refusal was on the grounds that the area in question lay in a natural water course and would create a problein from the standpoint of wells, septic tanks and drainage. Mr. Wilson took the stand and said they (the devel- gpers) planned an over-all drainage scheme which would correct the situation. Hearing the appeal was H. E. Roberts, a __ vice- chairman of the OMB, and J. V. Ludgate, a member of the board. A_ vice- chairman and a member of the board constiture a quorum. medal for a colored portrait of his one-year-old granddaughter, Lisa, The prize-winning shot will be shown next week at a two-day exhibition sponsored by the Leaside Camera Club.

Arena Know How For 8 Visitors Eight Parry Sound men are in Oshawa today to meet with members of the Civic Audi- torium Board of Directors and manager William Kurelo. They hope to borrow some ideas and pick up knowhow on building an arena "for our- selves."' Their rebuilding scheme 'the Parry Sound arena was des- troyed by fire) may be pat- terned after this city's suc- cessful financial drive to build through the evidence," he said. Tax Collections 'Fine': Official Over $1,500,000 in city taxes have been collected, Clarence Cox, tax Collector told The Times. The first installment of taxes for property owners in Wards 4, 5 and 6 was due Friday and the first installment for Wards 1, 2 and 3 is due Feb. 19. "The payments have been steady and better' than last year," said Mr. Cox. "'Not too many people will be late with their payments." The penalty is one-half of one per cent each month on taxes owing or interim levy de- faults (first two of four ments called). On the after- interim bills there is a one per cent per month penalty. Mr. Cox said many people are paying their first two install- ments at once while others are post-dating .a cheque for the second installment. TAX COLLECTOR The city tax collector notes that. taxpayers assume respon- sibility for late arrival of pay- ments. Because the first in- stallment dates fall on Fridays, payments postmarked before midnight on Sunday will still be accepted. Mr. Cox warns that by law anyone missing a payment can be ordered to pay the full amount of taxes due. He added that this action will not be taken against pensioners and senior citizens unable to meet the payment deadline. Due dates for the second in- stallment is April 9 (Wards 4, 5 and 6) and April 15 (Wards 1, 2 and 3).

"I challenge you to plan and work through your Authority for the future benefit and wellbeing of this part of Ontario," Albert Walker, Oshawa riding MPP, told members of the Authority. He presented the two inch- thick report at the annual Au- thority meeting, in the Hotel Genosha, on behalf of the Hon. J. R. Simonett, Minister of Energy and Resources Man- agement. The recommendations, deal- ing with land, forest, water, yn and recreation, includ- ed: --That the Authority bring to the attention of municipal of- ficials the serious sources of erosion that exists in new road construction projects and re- quest that some effort be made to stabilize and grow cover on newly constructed banks and ditches. --That a Central Lake On- tario Authority Forest be es- tablished and 'that it be expand- ed through a definite program of annual additions and planting until as much as is feasible is acquired and reforested of the 11,284 acres of land mapped as suitable for this purpose. --That the Authority acquire or encourage municipalities to zone flood plain lands as in- dicated on the flood plain maps to restrict the use of lands which are subject to flooding. The zoning should provide for recreation, wildlife or agricul- tural uses commensurate with the flood hazard. --That Authority encourage interested landowners to im- prove their land for wildlife by the elimination of grazing of woodlands, by selective cutting in woodlands, by improving cul- tivation practices, by the plant- Suitable for food and cover and by. the construction of farm ponds specifically for fish and wildlife. --That the Authority consider the possibilities of developing six recommended areas for con- servation and recreation.

Burns was elected vice- chairman, and Mr. Corner, Mrs. Burns, R. Bennett, E. James and Oshawa City Alderman A. Murdoch were appointed to the executive committee.

Stricter penalties, classroom education in basic law, in- creased parental responsibility, closer liaison between juvenile courts and schools and greater control over and floodlighting of school playgrounds were sug- gested as possible remedies. Chief Flintoff, in citing .ex- amples where school authorities failed to provide proper secur- ity, said on 81 occasions in 1964 police found schoo] doors un- locked while making their eve- ning rounds. The same negli- gence had been. reported 14 times this year, he said. "Carelessness like this is just inviting trouble," the police chief said. The meeting of board repre- sentatives and police commis- sioners arose out of charges of lack of police protection of city schools at a board meeting in Detember At that meeting former sep- arate school board representa- tive Robert Nicol urged @ POLICE CHIEF FLINTOFF | ". . . just inviting trouble "strong protest" be sent to the police commission and Chief Flintoff. At the beginning of yester- day's meeting, Trustee Robert Stroud said the reports of com- plaints from the board "did not represent a consensus of feeling by members' Mayor Lyman Gifford retort- ed: "Did anyone on the board bother to deny them?" was the feeling of the board. "Today it appears that the board didn't have that much of a grievance after all," he added. Dr. C, M. Elliott praised the work done by police, particular- ly in its school -safety cam- paigns and said, 'with 28 schools in our system, it would be impossible for them to be on the spot every time there is trouble," The commission reported that between June 1, 1964 and Janu- ary 22 of this year, 29 juveniles and two adults. were charged following 15 cases of vandalism in schools. Cost of damage to schools, both through playground acci- dents and vandalism was esti- mated at $5,000 by board repre- sentatives Chief Flintoff suggested police officers conduct classes on van- dalism and its dangers in the same manner they teach traffic safety. The classes, he added, would have to extend into sec- ondary schools where many of the potential delinquents are Commission Chairman Judge Alex C. Hall said such classes would fit into a scheme for school grounds were underlight- ed and lacked proper super- vision and control. School au- thorities should not allow chil- dren to play so close to school buildings after hours. On one occasion last year, he said, when police ordered chil- dren away from a school build- ing a board member had called him to ask by what authority he took the action, "We're not asking that chil- dren be barred. from school playgrounds," he said, "only that they be kept back from the buildings. Police should be able to order them away from troubled areas without criticism from the board." Mayor Gifford noted the worst cases of vandalism occurred in schools in fringe areas where offenders "'can take advantage of darkness and an easy get- away. Well-lighted schools don't seem to have as much trouble." The commission and board members agreed stronger pun- ishment for offenders was neces- sary. Dr. Elliott said, 'we often feel frustrated when we see charges laid by police and nothing more TRUSTEE ROBERT STROUD *.->. , complaints didn't represent consensus of feeling" than a suspended sentence given to these offenders."'" Chief Flintoff said 99 per cent first offenders brought to juve- nile court will walk out with suspended sentences. Dr. Elliott asked if parents could not be instructed by the court to punish child offenders, verely, but said any change in penalties would have to come through legislation "Vandalism," he said, "is a particularly difficult offence to understand, It is'so hard to see what the point is to some of their actions. "Perhaps being on a low so- cial, economic or intellectual scale they feel they will never be on a level with you unless they can bring you down to their level,"' he added. Mayor Gifford said the law was coddling the young too much, "and if the strap is given to a student, parents jump on the principal immediately." "It's depressing, but I just don't know the solution to van- dalism under the present law. The, solution will be found in a stern justice. "In the meantime," he said, "Chief Flintoff and the police department are doing an excel- lent job." Board representatives will re- port back to the board with findings and recommendations at its next meeting Monday, Feb. 15, Oshawa will be asked to con- tribute $7,253.94 to the 1965 Central Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Authority program. The total estimated budget of $52,600. was approved last night at the Authority's annual meet- ing. It is slightly less than last year's budget. Municipalities in the Ontario- Durham - Northumberland Counties Authority area will be asked to contribute $12,407; the province will grant $27,600 and a 1964 surplus of $12,589 will make up the budget. Other municipalities will be asked to contribute: Bowman- ville, $834; Whitby, $2,056; Clarke Township, the minimum levy of $50; Darlington Town- ship, $1,034° Pickering Town- ship, $97; Whitby Township, $768; East Whitby Township, $323; and Reach Township, the ALBERT WALKER ' ". » «I challenge you to work" fective conservation program for these watersheds.

"This work will only be effec- tively accomplished through the interest of you who are appoint- ed to this Authority by your municipalities . . . I can assure you of the assistance of the gov- ernment and its various depart- ments and agencies."

"This expenditure represents a very great. contribution ' of time and interest on the part of dedicated authority mem- bers," said Mr. Walker. "I sug- gest that if one is to identify the most important factor in the success of conservation it is the contribution of hundreds of in- terested authority members." : "Counties' Future Rests -- On Water Conservation" "We in the conservation au- thority," he said, '"'would be sadly neglecting our duty if we did not do everything within our jurisdiction to conserve that one commodity without which life on this earth cannot exist as we know it." There would be no fear of shortage, he said, if the area could increase the water holding capacity of its*soil by a rela- tively small percentage each year. "We need only glance at our many rushing streams in the spring and after heavy rains," he said, "to realize the tremen- dous run-off and erosion that takes place."
