THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1940 Ask Youth to Combat Subversiv PAGE THREE ANTI-SUBMARINE SHIPS REACH EASTERN PORTS WELL AHEAD FREEZE-UP Shipyards Await Or- ders to Begin Construc- tion of 18 Cargo Ships "for Great Britain By R. K. CARNEGIE (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Ottawa, Nov. 20 (CP).--A number of sturdy corvettes, anti-submarine warships' built in Canadian ship- yards, have reached Eastern Can- ada ports well ahead of the freeze- up, D. B. Carswell, director-general of shipbuilding in the Dominion told The Canadian Press today. To Build Cargo Ships "Canadian shipyards are awaiting the final word to begin the con- struction of 18 cargo ships for Great Britain," said the director- general, who works in the munis tions and supply department. id "They will be 9,500-ton ships and 12 will be built in eastern tidewater ports and six on the Pacific coast. They should be ready for delivery next October." Mr. Carswell, a veteran of the shipbuilding industry who has step- ped out and established new pro- duction retords himself when oc- casion demanded, said he was pleased with current progress. "Five corvettes and one mine- sweeper were launched between Nov. 16 and Nov. 23 in Canada," he said. "That's a pretty good showing for one week." These ships will be fitted with engines and be ready to take over active service when the spring break-up comes. 54 Corvettes Ordered Mr. Carswell said the building of cargo ships would not interfere whin the steady flow of corvettes, 54 of which have been ordered by the British Government and 10 by the Canadian Government. Quebec and Montreal shipyards were putting in additional ways to look after the building of cargo ships. Much preliminary work is neces- sary in building a cargo ship, it was explained. The exact shape and length of the steel required has to be ascertained and ordered from the steel plants. Accordingly, while this is going on the ways can be installed so there will be no par- ticular delay. "When we start making cargo ships there will be no let-up in cor- vette construction," - Mr, Carswell declar-d. "Every shipyard now is working to capacity, except in one or two instances where there is a shortaze of supplies or other diffi- culties which cause temporary hold- ups. 1 Extead Shipyards "We have planned what every shipyard will do. 'It will entail some extensions to shipyards but for the most part they are doing this them- selves. "It will not require much addi- tional labor. The labor situation is pretty fair." Mr, Carswell is virtually the czar of Canadian shipbuilding. He has power to order anything he desires --the way work shall be allocated, how facilities may be used, where any ship must go for repairs. And when it comes right down to it, the shipbuilding director-gen- eral who served as a marine engin- eer in his native Scotland, China, Australia, the United States ana Canada, can take over any plant and operate it himself if he dcesn't think the work is going ahead fasu enough. He knows from start to finish what it means to build ships. Dur- ing the first Great War he set a record by producing a 4,000-ton steel vessel every eight days as sup- erintendent of the Detroit Ship- building Company. All-Canadian Product His plans for the fufure build- ing of corvettes in Canada call for the boats to be built and equipped entirely from Canadign products. Some of the equipment on the early corvettes came from Great Britain but now the patent rights to build this particular equipment Have been obtained for, K Canada, "Tests of the ccrvettes have been good," he said. "They have proven to he excellent seaboats. They are oil-burning and should prove to be great little fighters." As for the cargo boats, when they are completed they will be able to carry 9,000 tons--two large freight train loads. SPRINGFIELD IN TIE WITH CLEVELAND, 1-1 Springfield, Mass,' Nov. 29, -- Springfield's Indians | and Cleve- 'land's Barons, pace-setters in the Eastern and Western Divisions of the American Hockey League. re spectively, battled to a 1-1 overtime tie here last night. It was a costly battle for the In- dians, as Max Kaminsky, veteran centre, was injured in a second- period collision and was taken to hospital for X-ray photographs, of a possible shoulder fracture. Lloyd Finkkeiner, rookie forward, also was hurt early in the game and failed to return to action. Parliament | Day to Day (By The Canadian Press) -- TODAY -- The House will continue the throne speech debate with R. W. Gladstone (Lib., Wellington South) the first speaker. The senate will not sit. -- YESTERDAY -- The House heard Labor Minister McLarty suggest that labor's war- time sacrifices might be increased working hours and less overtime pay, and describe what is being done to meet steadily increasing de- mands for skilled workers; and heard A. H, Bence (Con, Saska- toon) say that war industries should be spread throughout the country to avoid economic. section- alism and assist in post-war adjust- ment. The senate did not sit. FREAK STONE RESEMBLES A HUMAN SHOLL Row of Teeth Imbedded In Darker Colored Stone An ordinary field stone like a human skull, and about the same size, with teeth imbedded in shaped | solidified clay in the proper place on the stone, was brought to The Times office this week by George Mack, who recently moved to Osh- | awa from Campbellford, Ont. Just whether the teeth and the material | which surrounds it is of a fossilized nature could not be learned, as those approached on the subject were not | conversant with prehistoric objects of this nature. The shape of the stone, of course, | is a freak of nature, but how the teeth and the form of the mouth of different material was deposited on the stone 1s for someone with a greater knowledge of such subjects to determine. The Times would be pleased to show anyone the freak and would be gi:ad if some one could give us the correct answer. The stone was discovered on the surface of the earth on a farm at Campbellford and is the possession of Mr. George Mack, 47 Celina street, who loaned it to The Times in the hope that someone might be found who could tell him all about | it. BUTTER PRIGES ON SAME LEVEL 40 YEARS AGO Won't Be Controlled Unless They Jump Sud- denly -- Board Surveys Cost Ottawa, Nov. 29.--Unless butter prices take a sudden jump it is unlikely that the War Prices Board will do anything about pegging them. In this connection it was pointed out that the prices were about the same 40 years ago 29 to 30 cents. Meanwhile the board was delving into the subject of mill feeds, claims being made from eastern and central provinces that benefits from the bacon agreement are much modified by the cost of bran and shorts. The export market for flour is not good and this affects the milling of it. The smaller the volume of milling, the smaller his output of feeding stuffs. Transportation costs of such feeds are another factor. Increase in the cost of living index compared with the start of the war is 59. In control of rentals, the common experience is the splitting of the in- creases half way between land- lord and tenant. The sugar and wool markets over which control is exercised are great. Since the war started, the price of sugar has advanced only 85 cents a hundred pounds. HARRY HURST REGISTERS T.K.O. WIN OVER BULLOCK Washington, Nov. 29. -- Harry Hurst, hard-hitting Mcntreal light- weight who has yet to lose a fight as a professional, scored a techni- cal knockout over Billy Bullock of Washington, D.C.,, in the seventh round of a scheduled eight-round bout here last night.

We have had a grand time." Such were the comments of 50 delighted carrier boys of The Oshawa Daily Times, when they came out of the Regent Theatre last evening after being the guests of the theatre management to view the epic of the Canadian west, "North West Mounted Police." It was indeed an enthusiastic group of lads who presented them- selves at the theatre doors promptly at 7 pm. They had rushed down to The Times office after school, hustled out with their papers and delivered them with all possible speed so that they could be on hand to view the gripping full-colour drama of the Dominion's and the world's most famous police corps. Action followed action and the lads were often on the edge of their seats as the picture progressed. The carriers would like to take this oppertunity to thank Mr, Osier, manager of the Regent, and Circu- lation Manager H. Boyce of The Daily Times for making the eve- ning possible. NPAM. UNIT WILL RECEIVE 30-DAY GRADS Belleville Area Trainees Ordered to Report to operating a disorderly | al No evi- | Argyl Light Infantry Nov. and district who re- Belleville, | of Belleville | cently finished their 30-day traine | | ing period at the Peterboro training | | centre received notice that they will be expected to report to the Argyll Light Infantry (Tank) unit] for further training. The notices mailed to the 21-year- old group were forwarded by Major | H. Alford, adjutant of the Argyll |' Light Infantry. | It is not known how many addi- | tional men the move will bring under the Argyll unit training, but it is expected the ranks of the unit will be swelled considerably. The Belleville battalion is at present re- cruited in excess of 600 men. So far as could be learned, Tren- | ton trainees have not yet been noti- fied to report for further training. The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, Second Battalion, a com- pany of which is now training at | Tremton, is already at full strength. The unit was recruited in record time last summer, and it is con- sidered unlikely that further train- ees will be allotted to this unit. a new garbage incinerator on the | site of the existing plant. "While our present incinerator is | doing an excellent job of disposal, it is old and may fail completely at | any time," said the chairman, going | on to explain that the cost of a new plant would be approximately $23,- | 000, of which there was already about $11,000 in hand. "We may be able to provide for the balance in our estimates next year, and so avoid a debenture is- sue," he declared. Alderman McCannan pointed out that the 1940 garbage rate had been seven-tenths of a mill on the assess- ment--a rate which he described as the lowest in Canada--and that there would be a surplus of approx- imately $1900 by the end of the year, despite unexpected expendi- tures for repair work at the incin- erator. Expenditure under this head for 1941, he said, was estimated at $17,- 412, leaving a sum of $15,459 to be raised by taxation after deduction of the 1940 surplus. For this purpose, he explained, a levy of seven-tenths of a mill would again be sufficient. Don't Put Apples In Mixed Parcels Going Overseas To conform with the require ments of the.

Moreover, due to the fact that mail sent to the British Isles is longer in transit while the war is on than in normal times, it is not likely the fruit will be delivered in edible condition, 20. --Young men | Due to the perishable | W. G. Corben Elected President at Annual Meeting Last Night Ten Troops Active in Oshawa; Fifty New Members Added This Year A plea for the youth of Canada to stand firm against subversive in- fluences and support for the cause for which we are fighting formed the keynote of an address made last night before the annual meeting to the Oshawa Boy Scouts Local Asso- ciation by Mr. W. G. Cairns, Pro- vincial President of the Boy Scouts Association. Enthusiasm a Virtue "Enthusiasm is one of the finest virtues that can be possessed by youth," said Mr. Cairns, who saw great danger in the modern tend- ency to withold enthusiasm for fear of criticism. Enthusiasi¥ for a cause and perserverance to see it through is the .only sure way to achieve a goal. The speaker stated that the | youth of Canada might well take a | lesson from the people of England | and from such men as Capt. Fegan | of the steamer Jervis Bay which fought a hopeless battle against su- | per.or odds because he had a job | to do and had a high sense of duty. | Mr. Cairns stated that he was | neither a war-monger nor a paci- | ficist but he hoped he would never see the day when young men would not fight for a cause they know to be in the right. | The speaker considered that loy- alty, patriotism, and service to oth- ers ranked as the three really im- portant phases in Boy Scout work today. The Boy Scouts Association activities in serving. others needed no explanation said Mr. Cairns who | cited the recent instance when Boy Scouts from coast to coast in Can- ada aided in the National Registra- | tion scheme by doing clerical work | and running errands in order to as- sist the officers appointed to con- duct the registration. "Patriotism, loyalty and service to | others are really: the things that | bind our democracy together and | Scouting is one of the foremost or- | ganizations teaching these princi- | ples to our youth," said Mr. Cairns | in conclusion. | W. G. Corben President Police Chief, Owen D. Friend, pre- | sented the report of the Nominating Committee which was unanimously | adopted by the meeting. As officers | for the ensuing year it named: | President, W. G. Corben; First Vice- | President, W. L. Pierson; Second Vice-President, Dr. S. J. Phillips; | District Commissioner, J. H. Rigg; Asst. District Commissioner, J. C. Fetterley; District Scoutmaster, H. L. Bell; District Cubmaster, C. H. | Cooper; Medical Adviser, Dr. F. J. Rundle; Treasurer, M. W. Reive; | Secretary, L. S. Peacock. Mr. N. H. Daniel, president last | year, declined office owing to his activities as officer commanding the Volunteer Civil Guard. | Honary Presidents will be the same as last year, namely, G. W. | McLaughlin, Col. R. S. McLaughlin, F. W. Cowan, Col. W. E. Phillips, W. R. Geikie, H. P. Schell, J. H. Beaton, A. G. Storie, C. M. Mundy, C. E. McTavish, H. J. Carmichael, Hon, G. Conant, K.C., W. E. N, Sinclair, K.C., and Col. Frank Chappell. The incoming president, Mr. W. G. Corben, expressed his apprecia- tion of the honour bestowed upon him and again thanked those who had assisted the organization during the past year, and especially Mr. Ray McLaughlin who was the kind donor of tHe new Boy Scout Hall in which the meeting was held. J. H. Rigg, District Commissioner presented his report for the year and stated that at the present time Troops in the district. the discolsure that the local Boy Scouts had contributed a total of 1,867 hours to war service in Osh~ awa. At the time of National Regis~ tration 56 Oshawa Scouts had con- tributed three days labour. Another and other reading matter for men of the 1st Bn, Ontario Regiment (Tank) when they were stationed in Oshawa. Mr. Rigg reported an increase of over 50 in the number of active Scouts in the city during the past year. Mr. J. C. Fetterley, of the Execu~ the Apple Day held earlier this year reported that $315.88 was realized from this source, a figure which is considerably higher than in previ- ous years. At the conclusion of the business Auxiliary of the Eighth Oshawa, Troop served refreshments to meme bers of the Association and their friends. REVEAL RALSTON NOW IN LONDON Reaches Britain With Major-General Crerar --Howe Goes Later . London of Defense Minister Ral= slon and Major-General H. D. G. Crerar, Chief of the General Staff, was announced tonight by Hon, C. G. Power, Acting Defense Min- ister. The brief announcement did not say exactly when Colonel Ralston reached the United Kingdom, or how he travelled. Colonel Ralston is the fourth member of the Canadian Oabinet to visit Britain since the war began. The first was Resources Minister Crerar, the second was the late Hon, Norman Rogers, former Defense Minister, and the third Agriculture Minister Gardiner, who has just returned to Canada. The fifth minister to make a trip overseas will be Supply Minister Howe. Prime Minister Mackenzie King told the House of Commons yesterday that Mr. Howe will go oierseas to confer with British ofe ficials. The Prime Minister said both Mr. Howe and Defense Minister Ralston would be in England during the greater part of December and he expected some Government legisla- tion would be Lased upon the results of their conferences overseas. Mr. King said he believed the approaching Christmas recess of Parliament should last until Feb. 17 because of the long absence of the two ministers and the Dominion~ Provincial conference called for Jan. 14 to consider implementation of recommendations made by the Rowell-Sirois Commission. This conference, he said, prob- ably would take up the Govern- ment's attention for the last two weeks of January, leaving only a fortnight for preparation of legis- lation for the resumed session. Mr. King sald "one or two mat- ters" might be taken up after the vote on the address in reply to the Throne Speech and before the Christmas recess. He said he might make an announcement tomorrow.
