The car, when stolen, was dark blue in color, and bore a license numbered 30 R 45, The cash register in which the money was placed was broken open. nd Chief Nesbitt telephoned descriptions of the stolen property to Ontario police, and on Monday the alleged thief and the car were picked up in Peterboro. When Mr. McDonald went to Peterboro for his car, he stepped into a store to make a small purchase. At once the woman in charge of the store said--"30-R 45! Isn't that the number of the stolen car?"' Of course explana- ions were in order. Only a little over $20 was left out of the $135 stolen, and none of the auto parts were recovered. The young man charged with the theft does not give a very good account of him- self; says he hails from the Barbadoes, etc. This 1s the third robbery this year in Port Perry. On {two occasions Mr. MecCor- mick, of the Imperial Oil Co. has had his house broken in- to, and has been robbed of considerable sums of money. Evidently Port Perry citi- zens will need to watch their money and other property closely if this outbreak of stealing continues. ~~ "of Ontario, 1987. Various Offences ~ .

"In the first report of ithe standing committee on Finance and Assessmént presented to County Council on Sat- urday, by chairman Lyman: Gifford, it was stated that a tentative agree- ment had been reached with-the City of Oshawa and the Children's Aid So- ciety with respect to the Children's Aid shelter, and -recommendation was made that a by-law to confirm the agreement be considered at the Jan- uary session of Council. The recom- mendation was adopted. This agree- ment has to do with the assumption by the county and the city of Oshawa of the remaining debt of $28,000 on the shelter at Oshawa, for which cer- tain public spirited men in. the Motor City went security when the shelter was being built. = Representations || were made last summer that these guarantors would like to be relieved There was a lad took chemistry, He'll never take it more, a For what he thought was H20 « "Was ih S04. of * * * The Uxbridge Senior Girls' Basket- ball team visited P.P.H.S. on Wednes- i] Powers of Commissioner.

This contest has been sponsored by the Educational Association, and has been financed largely through some of the Women's Institutes of the County. Mrs. Gordon, of Gamebridge, has been particularly active in promoting this work, and quite a number of schools in the northern townships have been greatly improved in appearance as a result of the contest.

Among the visitors to Toronto last week were Mrs. Denny and family to see Santa Claus; Mrs. Parker, Jean Raines, Will Heayn and Mr. Charles Patterson.. ; : For Missionary program on Sunday at the Sunday School, Miss Ward told about a' Christmas among the Indian children at Norway House, Manitoba, | where Rev. Mr. Roscoe and Mrs. Chapin are missionaries. These two will be remembered by the slides and lecture at the Y.P.U. last winter en- titled "Two. Missionary Heroes." It makes it more interesting to know that Mr. Chapin was raised in Ux- bridge. His parents later moved to Oshawa where the father took an ac- tive part in the Simcoe United Church and Sunday School, and lived in a house which later became the site for the Anglican Church on Centre St. Mrs. W. Wannamaker called on friends on Scugog Island on Sunday. Great interest is 'being aroused in "the new publication "Rising Tide." copies of which ought td be in town about the middle of next week.

A large section of the first run of 300,000 copies were already earmarked to meet bulk or- ders given by businessmen, trades union leaders, and politicians from all 'parts of the four Kingdoms. One of the members of the House of Parlia- ."ment said to a reporter over a lunch- eon. "I want to send this over my own -signature to my 514 colleagues in the House." gs One printer is sending 2000 copies as Christmas presents. Other busi- - ness men are planning to send it to their/employees. A group of coal owners and Miners' Federation Offi- cials have the same idea for their in- dustry' the battle ground of some of "the fiercest labour disputes in British history. Under their joint signatures, a copy of the 'Rising Tide' goes to hundreds of the leaders of both sides, constituting one of the finest united "positive moves in the industry in re- : "nt decades. ; Press reports state it to be "Photo- * graphically brilliant'. clever layout, adroit captioning tells the story of a new world order emerging from the present disorder. It is being printed ¢ &in England in French, German, Nor- * wegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch. ' And in Canada and the United - States interest is as great.
