v AGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1940 LOUGHING BETTER AITHOUGH FEWER ENTER CONTESTS (Continued from Page 1) Port Perry; A. E. Innes, Ontario county agricultural' representative, Uxbridge; J. H. Ormiston, Whitby, and others. ' Canada's greatest strength and hope was to be founa in the rural areas, Mr. Newman told the gather- ing. The farmer today, as always, had: an important lask to perform, and in war time, much more was required of him. Agricultural pros- perity in Canada meant prosperity for the masses in the urban cen- tres. Rural life should at all costs be preserved. A. E. Innes, agricultural repre- sentative, extended his congratula- tions to those from Ontario county who were in the prize money in a big way at the provincial match at St. Thomas. It was no fairy tale to say that some of the finest plow- men came from the county. Mr. Innes noted with progress the in- terest being maintained each year in the plowing matches, and the encouragement being given to the poys. The match today was one of the best he had seen.

The oil truck, carrying a load of gasoline, was proceeding in the same direc- tion as the bakery cart, owned by Tod's Bakery, and struck the horse- drawn vehicle in the rear at a point on the highway near Gibbons Street. Traffic Officer Runciman investigated. Valentine is still in the hospital. He had four ribs broken as well as other injuries, and was attended by Dr. C. E.

Join Raids on London Rome, Oct. 25 (CP)--The News- paper I1 Giornale D'Italia repcried tcday an Italian air base has been established on the English channel | in France and Italian Bombers have | come back with "marks of combat" | from forays on London. London, Oct. 25 (CP) -- Bombs | rained out of cloud-flecked sky in a series of daylight raids on London | today, smashing street cars and buses during morning rush hour. One bomp crashed between two street cars wrecking them and kill- | ing and injuring more than score | of persons. Other explosives hit be- | hind the street cars, damaging a | third street car. A bus was wrecked. Other high explosives struck near | a police station, wrecking nearby ! structures, and near an air raid shelter, leaving many injured in the streets. Three Nazi planes were shot down It was late afternoon before "raider | passed" signal marked the end of | a lengthy attack which occasioned | the third air raid alarm of the day. | Lone Raider Hits | The German Air Force opened its | offensive against London this morn- | | ing with a one-plane dive-bombing | attack on the outskirts quickly fol- | | lowed by - formation raids which | sent British fighters and anti-air- | craft guns into action. | Air raid sirens signalled an alum | during the morning rush hour and office-bound Londoners hurried to cover as bursting shells dotted the sky overhead. The heavy thud of bombs mingled | with the sounds of high aerial com- bat and buildings trembled under the pounding. The "Lone Wolf" raider which | dive-bombed a suburb struck so | swiftly that it dumped its bombs and was gone before a general al- arm could be sounded. Early risers en route to their jobs saw the plane hurtle down through | the morning mists to an altitude of 2,000 feet, unload its cargo of ex- | plosives and roar away. Several houses were damaged in the attack. Aerial assaults on London slack- | ened considerably during the night but squadrons of Nazi bombers | blasted at the industrial Midlands furiously, Two public air raid shelters were hit in one town in that area, but the loss of life was reported to be small and a government communi- que said the numbers of persons killed and injured throughout the | country was "exceedingly small", {| The capital had two raid alarms i during the night, the 48th since | the total air warfare pegan. The respite between the two was brief | bug the second ended comparative- | ly early--about 4:30 a.m. | In an unidentified . Midlands | town, the same one in which the | shelters were struck, a motion pic- | ture house gnd a theatre were hit and a fire bomb fell on a drug ness proverties also were reported damaged. Although reports early in the night said the raiders were coming over in greater numbers than in the past several nights, the govern- ment said, 'There was compara- tively little enemy activity over the country last night." A number of persons were caught in debris in London and rescue squads labored to free them. Air Marshal Sir Philip Joubert, taking official note of gossip that British anti-aircraft guns were wearing out and that ammunition was running short, said last night these reports were untrue and that the system of barrage firé had been abandoned when the raiders began their dodging tactics. "If the enemy can be lulled into a sense of false security so that he will fly straight for a short time, a salvo from several guns has a good chance of bursting near him" Sir Philin said in a broadcast "Hence the pauses in firing--we are waiting the opportunity to get in a good hurst. . . . I can assure you that the situation is quite normal."

AGREEWENT (Continued from Page 1) old Chief of State, was expected to return to Vichy today to inform his ministers on the outcome of a meeting with Hitler upon wkich, a government announcement said, "the situation of the nation and its future in large measure de- nd." Official silence cloaked the na- ture of the negotiations which took place in a railway car somewhere in German-occupied France yester- day, but the public guessed from Petain's unprecedented action that major changes in France's position were brewing. Hidden also were the results of Hitler's conference Wednesday on the French-Spanish frontier with Spain's Generalissimo = Francisco Franco, (Government circles in Berlin were non-committal concerning the purpose of the Hitler-Petain meet- ing, but informed quarters 'n neu- tral Switzerland expressed strong belief that France had agreed to limited co-operation with Germany bus 'and Cedardale with Tyrone.

CHAUFFEUR FINED | FOR RECKLESSNESS ---- | | Ludwig Schmidel, Toronto chauf- | | feur, pleaded guilty to a reckless | | driving charge in police court this | morning and was assessed $25 and | tose or one month in the county | jail. | Magistrate F. 8. Ebbe suspended ! the accused's license for only two | months, agreeing with Counsel A. C. Hall that even a smal' suspen- sion was a heavy penalty to a chauffeur, The charge arose out of an acci- | dent two miles north of Brougham | on Sentember 8, when Schmidel's automobile collided head-on with a car driven by J. D. Stewart, Beav- erton. The Stewart automobile was forced to the ditch and three pas- sengers in it received cuts and bruises which necessitated them being taken to the hospital. Schmidel admitted that on a wet highway and in foggy weather he was travelling at 50 m.nh. and sometimes faster than that. He col. lided with the oncoming car while attempting to get in behind a "slow moving" car, which may have been going 35 miles an hour. A. C. Hall, counsel for the ac- cused, contended that the fact that the accused was driving a new | eight-cylinder car in perfect mech- anical shave mitigated the danger in his speed, "You were driving too fast al- together having in mind the con- dition. of the highway," sald the cadi to Schmidel.

No detailed figures are available on the actual power saving effected, but it was learned reliably that it is around the original estimate. The extension order was confined to Ontario and Quebec because mushrooming war industries in those two provinces have accentuate ed the power situation more than anywhere else in Carada.

Officials here were particularly intent, on any factual developments, resulting from the Hitler-Petain meeting, which would have an effect on specific American interests. For example: Points of Interest 1. Any new disposition of the | French fleet which, if turned over to Germany--a possibility mention- ed in several reports from European Capitals--might become an actual or potential menace to American security, The United States has been vitally interested in what was to. become of France's navy and this question is understood to have been discussed with the Petain Govern- ment and its representatives on a number of occasions, 2. Any change in the status of France's colonies, especially the pos- sessions in the Western Hemisphere. A 14-nation committee was estab- lished yesterday which, under au- thority of the Havana Pan-Ameri- can conference, has emergency pow- ers to assume control of any Euro- pean possessions in the Western Hemisphere. The United States, acting in co- aperation with the other American republics, was reported authoritat- ively to haie plans ready to assume protection of such French territory if French collaboration with the Axis made it advisable as a measure of Western Hemisphere Defence. The United States also is vitally interested in Dakar, French naval base in Africa which might be util- ized by the Axis for submarine at- tacks in the South Atlantic sea lanes between Europe, Africa and South America, May Want Gold 3.
