THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1940 PAGE NINE Discuss Future Maple Leafs in Internat. League President Salter Hayden of the Torento Maple Leaf Baseball Club is at Saint John, N.B., on business. In the meantime no statement was available from other members of the Toronto club executive or man- agement on the situation involving the future of the Leafs in the In- ternatipnal League. The general opinion here is that no definite decision on Toronto's baseball future will be made until the December meeting of the In- ternational League at Atlanta, Ga., - next month. Montreal, Nov. 19 (CP). -- The Montreal Herald in a spcrts page story today says the Toronto Base- ball Club will propose a plan at the next meeting of the league execu- tive "which would make it possible for the Maple Leafs to remain in the International Baseball League." The Herald says that Senator Salter Hayden, president cf the Leafs, held a series of lengthy con- ferences with President Frank Shaughnessy of the International League here during the week-end. "While the result of their dis- cussions was not disclosed," the Herald says, "it is known that the perplexing Sunday problem seems to be the root of the Torcnto Club's financial difficulties." The Herald, pointing out there were intimations when Manager Tony Lazzeri was released recently that Toronto would not operate in the coming season, adds that "lack of Sunday gates owing to Ontario 'Blue Laws' was then given as the reason for the probable disbanding of the team, The Montreal paper says that Toronto, by not playing Sunday games at home, thus provides a greater number of home Sunday games to other teams in the league. It adds "it has been suggested in more than one source" that the Leafs should get a greater share of some of these Sunday gates than the regular 19 cents per paid ad- mission as provided in the league constitution. "The plan will be put up to other clubs of the International League during the December sessions of the National Association of Profession- a] Baseball Leagues at Atlanta, Ga." the Herald concludes. Leafs Battle Hawks In Week-End Games Toronto, Nov, 20. -- Coach Hap Day and his Toronto Leafs were back home Monday night from their successful invasion of Boston, where they walloped the Bruins 4-1, Sunday. They drilled at the Gar- dens Tuesday and were to take another two-hour session yesterday. Early this evening they go railroad- ing again, this time bound for New York for a Thursday night en- gagement with the Americans. Although the Leafs hold first place in the National Hockey Lea- gue with a two-point margin over Chicago Hawks and Detroit Red Wings, they have a stiff program in front of them. The coming week- end finds them facing Paul Thomp- son's speedy Hawks twice. The Hawks make their first appearance of the season here Saturday night. The same clubs continue their feud ing on Chicago Stadium ice Suns day night. Bob Davidson remains on the : elub's casualty list, with no indica- tion when he will be fit to rejoin his rampaging mates, who have won four games in a row. 'The talent array for the New York trip will not be made known until after today's drill. Red Heron, who was not in uniform here against the Canadiens, remained behind when the Leafs travelled to Boston. Lex Chisholm operated as the extra forward Saturday. He was in uni- form at Boston, but did not get into action. The Boston trip saw Coach Hap Day strictly "on his own". Manager Conn Smythe did not accompany the team, nor did any other mem- bers of the Toronto hockey family. PRISONER COMFORTABLE Karekare, NZ.

Crusader for Sober Driving Gets Experimental "Bun" On | And Improves His Motoring | Los Angeles, Nov. 20--Al! in the interest of science,' the police de- partment"s foremost crusader against drunk driving got two- thirds tight Monday night -- and proved he could drive a car better after six Scotch and sodas than the average motorist can when he's sober Capt. Bernard R. Caldwell, 39, heads the Police Tralfic Control Bureau. He returned a few days ago from a 10,000-mile trip through the Middle West, lecturing on the evils of mixing gasoline and alcohol. The Greater Los Angeles Safety Council set gbout to prove the same thing--scientifically. It used 12 sub- jects, mostly policemen and brews ery executives. The council proved its point, but Caldwell proved the exception that proves the rule. Beer Drinker Worst His six drinks contained an ounce of 86-proof apiece, taken at half- hour intervals. Other participants tried other liquors--rye, Bourbon, wine and beer. A 250-pounder top- ped seven beers with four Scotches and still finished well up on the list. Worst reaction was from a brewery association seccetary who had eight beers. With most of the group there was a noticeable lessening in co-ordin- ating ability after four drinks -- a definite drop after six. But Cald- | well, in some respects, improved | as he went along.

The Ontario Division has purchased for distribution among the men of the Canadian and Brit ish navies ana of the merchant mar- ine, 20,000 packages (20's) of cigar- ettes, 10,000 chocolate bars, 10,000 packages of gum and 5,000 pounds of plum pudding. Officials of the League have heen authorized tq send double those quantities if desired. Ontario Division has ordered be- tween eight and ten thousand "ditty ' + Education, whose department has In addition to those articles, the ! bags," at a cost of over $35,000. These are the bags which are fill- ed with a variety of Christmas com- forts by women in all parts of On- tario, who ara co-operating with the Navy League to ensure a happy Christmas for all sailors in Cana- dian seaports. Knitted wear is one of the prin- cipal gifts going into these "ditty bags," but there are scores of other articles, such as writing paper, tooth brushes, candy, razors and blades, playing cards, books, Last year's project of the Navy League proved so successful, elicit- ing words of thanks and praise from the men who =ail the high seas, that an earlier start was made this sea= son. The result is that the Navy League headquarters has already made shipments and hundreds of "ditty bags" are arriving daily. This work of the Nawy League will be given a tremendous impetus early next month when the schools of Ontarfo will hold their first "Navy Week." The plan has had the highest commendation of the Minister of co-operated by the distribution of 20,000 books to teachers, as material for use in their talks to pupils of Wi. | & How He Responded ; Here's how Caldwell stacked up: | the primary schools.

PIGS PREFERRED 10 CHILDREN Sales Tax Appeal Associ- ation Sends Letter to Wheat Board -------- November 6, 1940. 'The following is the substance of a letter sent to the Canadian Wheat Board, Winnipeg, by ti'c Sales Tax Repeal Association, Toranto: Dear Sirs: -- We acknowledge receipt of your letter of August 19 n'orming us that a new penalty of fitteen cents per bushel has been imposed, called a "processing tax," on the crime of preparing wheat for human food, a penalty not applying to pig feed. We hoped that by delaying our angwer for a month, an answer would be unnecessary, that the pro- cessing tax would be withdrawn, In writing now we wish to point out a few of the reasons why the propo- sal should be withdrawn without delay. 1. This processing tax at current Toronto prices, amounts to 16 2-3% of the cost of the raw ma'erial for many staple foods. A-ded to the present sales tax of 8% this makes a total penalty imposed on those who nrenare wheat for human food of almost 25% which does aot apply to wheat prepared for pigs. To this must be added other costs and in- terferences incidental to its collec- tion. 2. Such added penalties and the costs connected with them must in the end mean a proportionats bur- den on the consumer. either in higher prices, or reduced quality or service. 3. These penalties ave a very serious matter and bear most heav- ily on the smaller industries, You have spent money unnecessarily to discover that the millers and pakers cannot absorb this 162-3%. Com- monsense should have told you that Much less can the sma'ler concerns in the food business. 4. This added 16 2-3% on cost of wheat must add a proportionate or greater amount to the final cost of | staple foods based on wieat. 5. This increased cost of wheat foods must result in an equal re- duction in the purchase of other | foods such as milk, eggs, meat fruits and vegetables, in the case of a large part of our popnlation, 6. The average family of five | uses about 1,000 pound: of wheat | foods per year, at prices ranging | from six cents to thirty-five cents | a pound. Averaged at 12. cents means an expenditure cf $120.00 a year, The imposition of 162-3% means an added burden of $20.00 per year. 7. The reduction of $20.00 per year per family in the purchase of the more expensive 'protective foods" necessarily means to some extent loss of health and in some cases loss of life, 8. Reduction of food buying power of $20 per family means the destruction of a hbme market for Canadian food products of about $40,000,000 per year to provide your Board with some $6,000,000. 9. The processing tax with fits incidental expenses in bookkeeping. correspondence and bolher, adds to the spread between wheat producer and wheat consumer. The opposite | should be the aim of your Board. 10. The processing tax is a fur- ther discouragement to those man- ufacturers who might develop new products and new uses and markets for wheat. 11. The increased spread between producer and consumer mnjures both. 12. Since wheat foods are the most used, proportionately, by the poorer people It Lears most heavily on the poor. Economists call this a "regressive tax." The uld prophets called such Imposts "grinding the faces of the poor." 13. To serve others, to prepare good things for the use of others, to cooperate with others hy ex- change of goods and .:ervices is a duty. It makes civilization possible, The processing tax likz the sales tax places a penalty on a duty, Such an impost is contrary to public po- licy. 14. The artifical stimulation of business by war activit <r may par tially conceal for a time the effects pointed out above To neglect or ig- nore them on that account is to in- vite chaos when the war is over. Peace may be more terrible than war, if we permit unjust and un- wise measures to be establiched. 15. The expected revenue of $6, 000,000 per annum is entirely in- adequate for the problem your Board must face, that of a possible accumulation of from 400 to 800 million bushels of wheat to face a hungry and devastated world with- out goods or money. 16. This is a problem of finance rather than of taxation A little intelligent financial planning will make the tax quite unnecessary. 17. The problem of using this accumulation of wheat to feed starving Europe after the war should be faced and vlanned for now. 18. The wheat may be sent to Europs as a gift -- which can be made possible--or in exchange for the land, as Jeseph did in Egypt forty-two centuries ago 19. The full use of even 50% of the productive power of Canadians and Canadian resource: during the war will make possible suzh a gift to Europe without hardshin 20. Such unethical and unecono- mic measures as the processing tax and the sales menance the peace of Canada when peace is restored to BRITISH BUILD 84 NEW SHIPS INO MONTHS Also Completed 100 Naval Craft -- U.S. Has Launched 33 Merchant Vessels : New York, Nov. 19 -- Despite air uvttacks on her seaports, Britain con:pleted at least 84 new merchant ships, most of them fast freighters. during 'he first nine months of 1940, an u.official survey of British ship-building showed. By way of uontrast, during the same period th. United States launched approxima.:ly 33 vessels. New British ships aggregated at least 426,500 tons. At the same time, naval sources said, British shipyards completed many of the 100 destroyers and light cruisers and 20 escort and scouting vessels she was known to have had on the ways when the war began, The new merchant ships includ- ed 78 freighters averaging between 5,000 to 8,000 tons; four tankers and two passenger vessels. One British port alone produced 22 vessels and has almost a score on.the ways. Sir William Isherwood said re- cently on arrival here that "we are building ships like you people bitild autos--with assembly line meth- ods." Europe. We do not wish peace to prove more terrible than war. We strongly urge that your Board as individuals study this subject, and join with other intellizent citi- zens in demanding the cancelling of the processing tax at once. Yours for a fair break for children, A. B, Farmer, President. HAD WEAK, NERVOUS STOMACH; BACK, LIMBS PAINED BADLY! Tells of Prompt Relief After 5 Years' Suffering by Tak- ing Syntona Herbal Tonic.
