TV Aerials, Cans Blasted By Winds Repair crews from television servicing stores, were kept busy this morning. High winds last night and also this morning were responsible for many television antennas being blown over. Also a hazard this morning were empty garbage cans that had blown onto the road from sidewalks, causing an obstacle lcourse for motorists in some} parts of the city. A spokesman at the Oshawa Airport reported winds of up to 35 mph this morning. Last night winds were estimated at up- IF YOU CAN'T KICK HABIT JUST REACH FOR TELEPHONE Good news for those who want to kick the smoking habit. Oshawa will soon have its own "Smoker's Dial" 24-hour relief service. The service will be run along identical lines to the one started in Toronto last week. If you are trying to stop smoking and suddently feel that desperate urge for a cigarette then all you have to do is reach for the phone. At the other end a recorded voice will reel off a constant stream of non-smoking hints. Each caller will receive a 60-second recording guaran- teed to help you through the worst moment. Started in various American cities by the Seventh Day Adventist Church the service has been a storming success. In Toronto thousands are jamming the line for quick advice: "We are all ready to go," J. W. Wilson, of Oshawa's College Park Adventist Church, told The Times this morn- ing. "It is just a matter of planning." "The service should be instituted for the Oshawa area very soon. We have got to get the line and organize a 5-Day Plan to coincide with the service."

Lloyd Hircock, 24 of 732 King st. w., and Steven Harding, 18 of 394 Gibbons st., clung to their capsized canoe and to the rowboats in near freezing water for 30 minutes before being pull- ed aboard a Yacht Haven motor boat. "They risked their lives... those four men deserve all the credit for saving Lloyd and Ste- ' Mrs. A. G. Hircock told The Times. Harold McAllister, Harry Kelsh and Alexander "Sandy" Bruce, lakeshore residents and a fourth man identified only as a Mr, Barker, rowed to the rescue when they saw the eap- sized canoe. With one man baling water from the leaky boats and the other rowing, the two. boats reached the students about 700 yards offshore and held onto them until the motor boat ar- rived. "Harding said: "Take my parnter, he's pretty weak', and faa (Kelsh) hung onto him and we started for shore," re- ported Mr. McAllister. "CAN'T HANG ON" "Once he (Hircock) said 'I can't hang on any longer', but we kept going and were about 60 feet from shore when the motor boat reached us," said Mr. McAllister.

Men Hauled Out Of Icy Water By Four Rescuers Peter Courthery of Yacht Haven took both men to shore where Hircock passed out. ' They were rushed to Oshawa General Hospital by police and firemen and treated for shock and exposure. Mr. Harding was released Sunday and Mr. Hire cock is expected to be released today or tomorrow. "They were really beat -- oid cold," said fire platoon chief Mart Ostler. "We didn't panic, we were talking and joking back and forth, but we couldn't hold on forever," Mr. Harding told The Times today. The two students (Grade is, McLaughlin Collegiate) had been canoeing for about two hours before the accident.

Juvenile Auto Thefts Increasing just reach down and short out them near movie - Some weeks ago a 14-year-old borrowed his father's car and started on a terrifying joyride of destructién through the streets of Oshawa. Incapable of handling the pow- erful: machine he raced at speeds of up to 80 miles an hour. His ride ended in a mass of flames and wrecked cars at the corner of King and Simcoe. Four people were injured and six cars were seriously damag+ ed. A week ago it was the same frightening story all over again. This time a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old friend were seen driving a stolen car. Po- lice gave chase. Speeds of 90 miles an hour were reached Finally the stolen car left the road and plunged into the side of a house. Both occupants were injured. D These two horrifying incidents highlight an increasing problem in Oshawa -- the rapidly ris- ing number of juvenile car thefts. Last year 28 juveniles appear- ed before the Oshawa juvenile court charged with car theft. For most of the offenders it was their first court appearance. Very often temptation is dangled invitingly before the eyes of young, speed-mad young- eters. Drivers: are careless when they leave their cars parked. Doors are left unlocked and keys left hanging in the igni- tion e These are the easy ones. All the youngster has to do is step ' behind the wheel and start the car up. ""DANGEROUS WEAPON" "And a juvenile behind the wheel makes the car a danger- ous weapon," says Oshawa ju- venile officer Harold MacNeill, "It is rather like a. kid going out on the street with a loaded rifle." Asked to comment on the problem Mr. MacNeill said that joyriding was the main reason. "A young feliow picks up a car and then goes round to col- lect his friends for a ride around town. They are fascinated by cars and like'to show off their driving . ability which, invari- ably, is nil "They are careful mind you. They select a car that they know won't be reported missing for several hours. There are plenty of houses and places like that, "This way they can have their fun and be rid of the car be- fore the loss is suspected. "Kids are funny about car theft. We had a case once of a stolen Buick. The police knew exactly where to go, This boy always stole Buicks. He had learned to drive on his father's Buick and had become used to them." Mr. MacNeil went on to ex- plain that in many cases the owners of stolen cars are not to blame for their missing cars. "Tf a youngster wants to steal a certain car, he can do it. It doesn't matter if, the car is locked up and there is no key. "These kids know how to get into. a car and to get it going without need for a key. They Pg wiring. It is quite easy to io." Once a youngster is on the road with a stolen car he is a danger to everybody he comes near. A young boy can have no real idea of how to control a powerful: American machine. There is perhaps a partial solution to the problem in a by- law recently passed by the City of Hamilton. ANTI-THEFT BYLAW Worried at the soaring num- bers of car thefts the city in- troduced a bylaw prohibiting parking of unlocked cars on city streets. Hamilton police were ordered fo make an all out drive on casual motorists Offending drivers were given maximum fines in court. Members of the Oshawa and district .
