Lake Wilcox, and Gra- ham Grayling, 17, of no fixed address. Joy and Johnson admitted breaking into Gateway Mercury Sales Limited. 7120 Yonge Street, near Steeles Avenue, August 15 and stealing 11 sets of car keys. They then went to the car lot and stole two cars. One car was recovered in King Township and the other on Highway 400 near Barrie. These two youths also ad- mitted Stealing a car belonging to Elwood McNamara from the premises of William Klees and Son Wholesale Meats at 69 In- dustrial Road, Richmond Hill. August 12. The car was later recovered in Richmond Hill. Johnson and Joy admitted an August 14 burglary at Mac's Milk Store, 454 Markham Road. At about 3 am they used a brick and a piece of wood to break out the front door glass. Stolen was about $170, includ- ing $20 in coins. Johnson admitted stealing a car June 19 from York Import Automobiles Limited. 16 In- dustrial Road, Richmond Hill. The car was recovered in a field at the south end of Oak Ridges on the east side of Yonge Street. The next day Johnson stole a car from Tompkins Chrysler Dodge Limited, 395 Yonge Street North, Richmond Hill. This car was recovered the next day in the same field near Oak Ridges. JohnSOn admitted stealing a paid of cowboy boots July 24 from Levendale Shoe Repair, 40 Levendale Road. He tried on the shoes and walked out without paying when the store owner turned away to talk to another customer, the court was told. The Lake Wilcox 16-year-old fraud, also admitted committing a Sound burglary August 11 at ‘the Har- torney ris Pharmacy, Yonge Street and King Sideroad, Oak Ridges. Arre Graham and Joy admitted stealing a car August 17 from Tompkins Chrysler Dodge Lim- ited. The car was recovered at Oak Ridges.

Stolen was $140 and a quantity of cigar- ettes, the court was told. Joy admitted an August 4 or 5 burglary at the Elgin Mills home of Harry Brock, 99 0x- ford Street, in which a 303 rifle, a shotgun and some coins were stolen. Joy took police to a hiding place at Bayview and 17th Avenues, Markham Township, where the rifle was recovered, along with nine live cartridges purchased at the Canadian Tire Store in Rich- ‘mond Hill. withdrawn when pleaded guilty. The three were pin, 16, of 361 Robert Fraser, 16.

Mr. Applegath said Joy was caught August 20 and admitted taking part in nine offences. Joy had a conviction for theft of less than $50 earlier in the year. “The thing in this case that worries me is this stealing of guns. One wonders what they are up to when they commit break and entry and only steal two guns,” said Provincial Judge Maurice Charles. HE asked Joy why the cart- ridges were purchased: Judge Charles said it didn’t make sense to buy shells in order to- sell shells, when any- body could buy them at a store. “33y said hé bought the shells in order to sell them with the gun. Johnson and Joy were re- manded until September 14 to allow the preparation of pre- sentence reports. Johnson con- tinues free on $1,000 bail and Joy remained in jail. Graham was still on proba-1 tion for a previous break-in conviction in October. He ad- mitted he knew a breach of probation could mean a jail sentence or a fine. He was al- lowed to continue free on bail until September 14, when Judge Charles asked him to bring one of his parents to court. Judge Charles told Graham that if he continued smiling and laughing in court, and thought everything was funny, he would soon be taught dif- ferently. Russell Bursey. 21, of 254 Ax- minster Drive. Richmond Hill, was another young man involv- ed with a whole list of charges, including five committed out- side York County. He was jointly charged with James Bell of 36 Arnold Cres- cent. Bell’s cases were re- manded until September 8. since he wasn’t prepared to plead guilty August 31. Bursey admitted burglaries July 22 at six local service sta- tions. Recovered was $186 worth 0f tires and batteries from Garry Finn's Esso Station, Yonge Street, Thornhill. --A 1 Dust: uu CC», A ............

All these mot- ors were recovered, the court was told. Bursey declined an opportun- ity to have psychiatric help and was remanded in custody until September 14 to allow prepar- ation of a pre-sentence report. Bursey was convicted in 1967 in Toronto on three counts of Arrested for impaired driving May 28 in Richmond Hill at 4.45 pm, Joseph Smith, 26, of 66 McGee Street. Toronto, Aug- ust 31 was fined $150 or 30 days. A charge of failing to take a breathalyzer test was withdrawn when Smith pleaded guilty. Threw Richmond Hill teen- agers were fined $50 and costs August 17 for taking a motor vehicle May 9 without the owners's consent.

Norton was left with this stalled car and two others fled in another car. The stalled car had been stolen from the Shell Service Station at Markham Road and Bayview Avenue. Gilpin and Fraser came back and were also ar- rested. Some stolen batteries were recovered at the same time. “In this area and at New- market, in York County gener- ally. the courts are swamped with this kind of offence. Pro- bation apparently hasn't work- ed as a deterrent. How does the court make enough of an impression upon the public to stop this?” wondered Provincial lJudge Russell Pearse. “On breach of your proba- tion, you can be brought back to court and fined up to $500, given up to six months in jail, or both,” warned Judge Pearse. all a: w: an: Kenneth Morin, 20, of Wil- lowdale, August 17 was given six months common jail when he appeared for sentence in Richmond Hill Provincial Court. He was convicted of theft over $50 and was jailed in spite of the fact the court was told he was planning to get married in six or eight weeks. HE decided to fine the youths instead of putting them orgy on probation for two years. He warned them they must not as- sociate with each other. They must not own or operate a motor vehicle, except in con- nection with a job. David Irving, 18, of Willow- dale the same day was sentenc- ed to three months in common jail. He was previously con- victed for theft over $50. Pleading guilty to being in- toxicated in a public place were John Axelson of Bathurst Street, Brian Lunney of Ken- neth Avenue and Bruce Smith of Pleasant Avenue. Caught wrestling on the side- walks and lawns along Yonge Street south of Elmwood Ave- nue in Richmond Hill at 1.30 am August 29, three Willow- dale youths were given sus- pended sentences August 31 in Provincial Court. sexual intercourse with a young female May 10 in Vaughan Township was dismissed for Aubrey Davis, 17, of 136 Elgin Mills Road during a prelimin- ary hearing held "in camera" August 31 at Richmond Hill Provincial Court. fancy breads were prepared and baked; how meat and fowl were roasted, and how cakes and ‘griddle cakes were made in the ’good old days.

Jennifer Morton, who recently danced at Expo ’70 in Osaka, and Jacqueline Bierworth, who has appeared on the grandstand show at the CNE, are among those teaching at the academy. Rita Gramsch is another talented former pupil new teaching. The curriculum includes ballet. tap and baton, jazz and acrobatic, and the age of the pupils range from babies of three to young people in their twehties.

(Continued from Page 2) the cars and trucks have to choose to pass through the most crowded street in town? A But enough of life outside of the home. That within the family we lived with was even more interesting. Neither the mother or the father spoke English, but after we had been there a few short weeks, we adopted them as our Japanese parents! Mrs. Okamoto was darling and if she wasn’t bustling around the house or sewing the yukatas she made for us, she would be out shopping for the next meal of the day. Refrigerators here are quite small and to shop only once a week, let alone once a day, is unthinkable when the market is only a stone’s throw away! Anyway, we enjoyed teaching mama-san the English names of things she bought each day (if we could recognize what they were!) and she, in turn, would say what the foods were in Japanese.__ uuvuu my“, ..-.-â€"., -.-v As for papa, he was priceless, especially when it came to charades and acting out what he wished to tell us. And he could even count to ten in Eng- lish! A painter by trade, he is pretty sharp when it comes to making the most of his money; that is, he cheats on his taxes! By charging twelve or thirteen dollars plus material costs for a day’s work, he manages to make one million yen a year or approximately three thousand dollars. However, ht tells the city office that he only makes 300,000 yen and four per cent of that for income tax is a mere twelve thousand yen or thirty-six dollars. Not bad when you consider that his son makes one half as much working for a company and pays the govern- ment two times that amount! Otherwise, though, Mr. Okamoto is as honest as the day is long which is really saying something when you get up at 5:30 each morning! He and mama make an adorable couple (she is as plump as he is skinny!) and the whole family is very closely knit. For the latter reason, I found it rather strange that Japanese parents never kiss their children or openly display affection for them as is the western custom lauouuul. Probably the most fascinating day we spent at Tadaoka was that of my girl friend’s birthday. First of all, a friend of mama-san insisted on doing our hair for us free of charge. It must have been quite a sight to see us trooping to the hairdresser’s shop with the entire family following, and then having them sit there and watch us as we went through the beautifying process. , 1 ,Au‘ LTA _ _..-...-_ uvuuu1;‘y .“D r . v _ . . _ . And when we were still in our curlers, the owner of the salon invited us all (including papa, papa’s friend, and his grandson) into the back reom for something cold to drink! Then on to the comb out and the invariable pictui'e‘takin‘g! --. . :1 u , auu. uuu suvm-..~~-_ r Next on the agenda? Why on to the city office to pick up our alien registration. After we had created the usual gaijin sensation, the chief of the immigration department decided to buy my friend the biggest and most scrumptous birthday cake that could be found! And what better way is there to finish off the afternoon than a visit to the local cemetery and crematorium? Talk about being a crowded country :' the graves are so close together the stones practic- ally hold one another up! Anyway, mama took us to the Okamoto plot so that we could place fresh flowers and incense around their monument. In particular, I was fascinated by the custom of putting a bib around the neck of a stone Buddha if someone in your family is ill. It is also very handy if the statue is sloppy when he drinks the cup of oocha (green tea) which is usually placed before him to encourage his healing powers! _ n "- 11,1-7117 wuvvu-u,5‘. ._-v -nvâ€"--â€"â€"° r_, But one of the best memories of all is the birth- day party of that evening. The one-room-wide house was packed with friends and neighbors, and when papa’s friend (the same one who went to the hair- --.AL_ 1’ IA“. 1:1-A T In The Spotlight “‘19.... ..n...\. \---v .. dresser with us) gave us both presents, I felt like I was turning a year older too! Seriously, though, we each received a 40 year old Japanese doll from this man’s personal collection and I was deeply touched by such an irreplaceble gift. Unfortunately, all fes- tivities must come to an end, but I shall never forget the smiling. beaming faces around us. It’s good to know one is among friends and I’ve learned more about Japan by living with a family than one could ever hope to learn as a tourist. , __._‘II, 1,- J.._,A yum.“ vvv. .nv Vv --.._-- Besides, only in Tadaoka could we walk by two factories, a rice paddie, an amazing variety of small stores, and a building where you can park your bicycle (just like parking your Car!) â€" and all this in only three minutes! ‘
