PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1940 PROMOTERS OF LABOR STRIFE HELPING HITLER, SAYS BEVIN , Britain Can't Afford | Quarrels -- Must Push 'Production Effort to . Maximum W London, Oct. 30 -- Anyone who | promotes or perpetuates labor dis- putes in the United Kingdom while Britain is at war is "a friend of Hitler and an enemy of liberty and democracy," Labor Minister Ernest Bevin said in a broadcast address. Britain could not afford quarrels and differences between labor and aRAg omen the Minister said. If war were lost, everything would be lost. Britain's productive forces now must intensify their effort "in the most cold-blooded and determined manner possible." The organization of production had been developed quickly and fit had strengthened Britain's defense forces by providing more ships, air- craft, munitions and supplies, "All this has given us a feeling of pride and confidence," Mr. Bevin sald, "but it does not mean we can rest for a moment, or let up in our effort to bring this ierrific struggle 'to a successful conclusion." The struggle for mastery of the air was not over. More airplanes had to be produced, and pilots trained. Although the seas had been kept open for Britain, the enemy still had some "hampering effect" on British and Allisd shipping "Our navy must be given every ship it requires and every gun, so it can nullify the boastful threat of Hitler to blockade us, and starve us into submission," he said. Danger of invasion would not pass until the enemy had been driven from the countries he had ravaged. Watchful and waiting, Britain must be ready to "pounce upon him ard meet him in combat, whichever way he may turn." "By this means," he said, "we shall keep inviolate this country." Mr. Bevin praised factory workers and managers for 'he way they carried on in the face of ~nemy air attacks. Now this spirit had to be translated into action. The gevern- ment wanted suggestions on how pest to keep production moving, protect the factory workers from | air attacks, and maintain the health of industrial workers. DRIVER IS JAILED FOR BEING DRUNK Ottawa Motorist Has His Car Impounded at Peterboro Peterboro, Oct. 30--Sentence of ten days' imprisonment, carrying with it the impounding of the ac- cused's car for a three-month period, was imposed by Magistrate O. A. Langley, K.C., in police court in the case of E. G. Hurley, of Ottawa, who was found guilty on a charge of drunken driving laid as a result of an accident on Friday last. Constable H. Mesley, an eye-wit- ness of the accident, told the court that Hurley had crashed into a car driven by Bernard Burrows at the intersection of George and Charlotte streets, and that the accused had been intoxicated at the time. The testimony as to the accused's con- dition was corroborated by other police officers who saw him a few minutes later. Hurley, who stated that he had "been driving to Toronto for the Argo-Ottawa game, denied that he had been intoxicated, having had only four pints of beer during the afternoon. Three companions, B. E. Christopher, E. W. Dufour and B. W. Burk, gave similar evidence. Magistrate Langley, however, in' registering a conviction, declared that there was no doubt in his mind as to the accused's condition at the time of the accident. A remand of three days was order- ed in the case of James Neck, of Smith Township, who appeared on a charge of breaking and entering the premises of the Peterboro Canoe Co., Ltd, and stealing therefrom three pairs of skis, with harness, and two pairs of ski-poles. The accused, who is'stated to have been in the firm's employ recently, was seen by Constable Leo Murphy at 3.30 a.m. on Sunday, driving a horse and rig on which the skis were plainly visible. a-------- LIGHTER MATERIAL IN BOMB-BAY DOOR Baltimore, Md., Oct. 30 -- (CP). --Lighter but stronger materials-- the never ending search in aircraft construction--are reported by the Glenn L. Martin Company here. The company claims an achieve- ment in a "bomb-bay" door, 14 feet . long, weighing but 41 pounds and stressed to bear more than 1% tons. The material is wood, a special plywood, and a strong plastic. It should be explained that bomb-bay doors on a bomber plane are part of the underside contour and are thrown open by the plane's "bomb- ardier" just before he is ready to release the lethal eggs over the ob- jective. BRIDAL TRAGEDY Melbourne, Austraila -- (CP) -- Flying Officer K. I. Macdonald of the Royal Australian Air Force was found shot dead in his apartment two days efter his bride was killed in a motor crash. Thev had just finished a wedding trip. Hitch-Hikers Thumb Ride at Own Risk London, Oct. 30--(CP). -- Pedes- trians caught on London's streets during night air raids wondered why so many motorists ignored their endeavors to "thumb" rides. Some indignantly charged drivers with selfishness. Then a spokesman for the motor- ists gave their side of the case. Many drivers, he said, hesitated to offer strangers a lift because their insurance policies did not cover them against injury to passengers. Lt.-Col. J. Moore-Brabazon, min- ister of transport, offers this sug- gestion. Drivers should put a no- tice on the sides of their cars say- ing "free lifts at your own risk," he declares. This would absolve them from liability for any in- juries suffered by passengers. ORDERS EXECUTRIX SETTLE ESTATE Law Frowns on Long Post- ponement in Settling Wills, Says Judge Belleville, Oct. 30--Two motions before Hon. Mr. Justice Keiller Mc- Kay in the Fall Assizes of the Su- preme Court here were disposed of, The first, Twiddy versus Dean, was traversed until the Spring Assizes at the request of J. Goodman, coun- sel for the defendants, who stated that his client was seriously ill in New York State and unable to at- tend. The adjournment was made with full consent of the plaintiff's solicitors, Collins and Cushing. In the second case, Hon. Mr. Jus- tice McKay ruled in favor of settle- ment of a will giving Donald Chris. tie, of Trenton, one-third share in his father's estate. Charles A. Payne of Belleville represented . he plain- tiff, Donald Christie, who, it was claimed, had been unable to obtain his share of the estate because the executrix of the estate would not agree to a sale of the real estate and | various stocks left in the will. Mr. Justice McKay said in decid- ing the case: "The law frowns on long postponements in settling wills, Since the father died in 1825 in this case, and there is r.o reason to be- | lieve the estate will increase in value with more time, I can see no reason for further delaying settlement." The plaintiff's solicitor charged | the executrix, Miss Christie, a sister of the deceased man, was charging a commission for looking after the estate, and was "procrastinating" in bringing about a settlement. "Miss Christie's commission is eating up the estate," Mr, Payne declared. "My client demands that which is rightly his. He is now an elderly man, and if not given his share now he may never get it." the Justice ordered the motion to take effect on April 1, 1941. EMPHASIZES NEED OF UNITED EFFORT Judge Hawley S. Mott Opens Belleville Club's Campaign Belleville, Oct. 30--At a joint meet - ing of Belleville service clubs, Judge Hawley 8. Mott, of the Toronto Juvenile Court, guest speaker, em- phasized the necessity for united and painstaking effort on the part of every British subject in carrying the war to a successful conclusion His address served as an introduc- tion for the campaign being opened by local service club members for the sale of war savings stamps. The Kiwanis Club is sponsoring a scrap metal campaign in the city. The speaker was introduced by P. C MacLaurin, and thanked by Owen Herity. Jim Barclay, chairman of the war savings campaign, outlined the am- bitious plans of the Kiwanians for the sale of the stamps, and notified the club members that each is ex- pected to purchase his share. Ross Stiver, chairman of the scrap metal campaign, announced that ar. rangements had been completed to pick up anything from garbage cans to baby buggies, and a committee consisting of P. C. MacLaurin, Cliff Baragar, Fred Deacon, Reg Ander- son, Rev. Grant and Jack McVeigh with William Lynch as assistant chairman, has been named.

"This will be the first time that aerial bombs of any kind, other than a comparatively few practice bombs, have been made in a Cana- dian factory." The long-range program of the Munitions Department will even- tually embrace all sizes and types of bombs for which there is a de- mand. They will range in weight from 40 to 1,000 pounds, and from the common high-explosive bombs to aerial projectiles capable of plercing heavy armor plate. The Minister's statement said Canadian plants will be ready "within a very short time" to begin manufacture of a large quantity of two-inch and three-inch trench mortar bombs and .303 rifle gren- ades, Plans are also under considera- tion for the production in Canada of anti-tank mines and depth charges, This type of munition has never before been made in Canada. Only last Sunday the Munitions Minister said Canada now is ship- ping motor vehicles to the United Kingdom at the rate of 400 a day. and said some gun barrels for Bofors guns are being made in Canadian plants, with a few al- ready going overseas. He sald "great quantities" of | shells are being shipped to the | United Kingdom. e3N0L 3 AST2INAAS "blue coal' THE COLOUR GUARANTEES THE QUALITY LANDER COAL CO.
