UT BA TTA NEWS OF WHITBY AND THE SURROUNDING DISTRICT HELP S.A. APPEAL FOR HUMAN NEEDS, AIR MARSHAL ASKS Salvation Army Appeal For Funds Will Start Next Week Montral, Sepiember-14.--"Remem- ber the human needs that make The Salvation Army's Home Front Appeal necessary," Air Marshal william A, Bishop, V.C,, C.B, D8.O., MC. D.F.C, LLD, urged in a"mes- sage released yesterday, The 1045 appeal will be inaugur- ated at services in Salvation Army Citadels and the general canvass opens soon in Whitby. Objective is $2,000,000 to care for deficit on pub- lic welfare operations and to per- mit of some expansion in social service facilities, Air Marshal Bishop, who is chair- man of The Salvation Army Na- tional Advisory Board, declared that, in its functions in behalf of suffering and erring humanity, The Salvation Army was incurring an annual deficit © now exceeding $1,000,000. Important Work "Few will dispute the need for making good this deficit on work for the poor, the ill and the erring," said Air Marshal Bishop. "If the vast amount of suffering, misery and waywardness daily dealt with by The Salvation Army were dump- ed" on the doorsteps of individual Canadians, they would realize with a horrified shock how important to Canada is the work of The Army. "Insofar as additional buildings and equipment are .concernea, I hope Canadians will agree that the * plant of this vital, humane organiz- ation should be equa] to the work it is called on to perform. Today it falls far short of meeting the de- mands for help. The opportunity is now presented for all those of good will within our borders to do their share toward extending this plant." ; Local Rotarians At Charter Night Two members of the Whitby Ro- tary Club, President Arthur Archi- bald and E. L.

Twenty-three would-be musicians, ranging in age from 12 years to 17 were on hand bright and early at the town hall leaving an opening for just one more boy. Gord Hawes was on hand for the Kinsmen and assured the boys of the goodwill and support of the Club, Kinsman Ragnar Steen was introduced and placed in complete charge of the band and their ac- tivities. Elect Own Officers For their organization the boys elected as officers for the year, Cam Marchant, president, Alvin Church, secretary and Clem Otten- brite, librarian, ' Following the election of officers, Ragnar Steen outlined the few rules governing conduct, attendance and progress. . There will be no smoking, chewing gum or drinking pop at the practices. Practices will be held on Thurs- day from 8 pm. to 9.15 p.m. Only sickness will be accepted as an ex- cuse for being absent, No sounding of instruments on the street will be permitted. Practice assignments must be carried out and imperfect work will be taken as & sign of disinterest. Proper care must be taken of instruments and they must be polished and shining on practice nights. ; Mr, Steen assured the boys that if 'they worked hard and obeyed these rules that they would soon have a band which Whitby would be proud to own. This short talk Wa followed by a period of instruc- on. Whitby Merchants Help There is no lack of evidence that many Whitby citizens are behind the boys in their desire for the band. As well as the expressed ap- proval of many people several per- sons have stepped forward with tangible evidence of their backing. The Heard brothers, who have in the past assisted the Town band with practice room and transpor- tation, have promised te foot the bill for any necessary repairs to the instruments. Herb. Wilson is donat« ing 24 much needed music stands and Charlie Snelgrove supplied the boys with music dictation books and pencils.

CLAIMS NATIVES IN SOUTH AFRICA LIKE GOVERNMENT Threat of Famine of Greater Concern in South West Capetown, Sept. 12--(CP)--Na- tives in Southwest Afrvica are more concerned with drought and the threat of famine than with incorp- oration of their territory in the Union of South Africa, Lord Hailey, noted authority on South African affairs, said in an interview follow- ing a tour of the area. Lord Hailey, who is collecting material to bring his book, "African Survey", up to date, said the natives are satisfied with the present ad- ministration which allows them to develop their tribal laws. They felt that it gave them the best chance of progressing and ensuring their own future, South Africa's system of recruit- ing native labor under which large numbers of natives came from the Portuguése tefritory of Angola was "most satisfactory" and had been approved by both the League of Na- tions and the International Labor Office. Lord Halley said that after study- ing the system. of recruiting labor he was convinced that such scheme, properly organized and) directed, was essential to the well- being of the natives, The South African Mint has re- ceived"an order from a Central African territory for 50,000,000 coins in three denominations. Dir~ ector J. Roux described the order as "quite a trainload of money" and said it would employ 100 people full-time. During the war the mint: filled a number of orders for African countries as far afield as Egypt and Madagascar. The Royal Mint in London will shortly issue the die for the obverse of the new five- shilling piece containing the King's head, and the new piece will be is- sued in the Union next year. More thdn £14,000,000 ($42,000,- 000) in loans and grants to ex- servicemen, in addition to clothing allowances, gratuities and pay In lieu of leave has been approved by the directorate of demobilization since it was formed in June, 1940. The directorate's report said the total was equally divided between loans and grants. Natives received approximately £150,000 of the "total. New coal fields have been dis- covered in the Cape Midlands near Aberdeen and samples have been reported as favorable as any South African or Welsh coal. About 3,000 acres are under option and the new discovery is expected to cause radi- cal changes in the industrial devel- opment of the area, now noted for wool production, WORLD GRANARY ROLE FOR CANADA International Food Stock is "Planned by FAO Board Copenhagen--(CP)--Canada may be asked to store wheat stocks of 100 million bushels or more for inter- national use if proposals for a world food board, now under con- | sideration by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organiza- tion, are approved, The board plan emphasizes the need in establishing buffer stocks of food for use in the event of hun- ger anywhere, Purchases of sur- pluses to maintain such stocks would assist In stabilizing prices. A report to the F.AO, by a com- mittee of economists sald there must be close study of whether it would be better to have the inter- national board own all such stocks or whether governments of mem- bers of the United Nations should share the responsibility. Reserves Already Held "In normal times a number of governments hold apart from their pipeline stocks special reserves as part of an ever-normal granary program or as a price-control measure or as a security reserve in Ky Suse of war," the committee report- "The danger that governments would immediately unload these re- ? | sponsibilities onto the world food § | board is probably theoretical; they are more likely....to continue their N | own independent insurance policies WED., SEPTEMBER 18th BASEBALL GAME 6:15 P.M.

SEEK OIL UNDER SEA WITH RADAR Ex-Naval Officer is Testing Development Off Bahamas "Islands An adaptation of Canadian war- time radar equipment. to oceanic survey has been devised by G. R. Johnson of Calgary, and is being tried out by a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co, (New Jersey) in a search for oil beneath the shallow waters off the Bahamas Islands, says The Calgary Herald, Served With Navy _ Mr, Johnson retired in March from the Roya] Canadian Navy in which he served more than four years as a radar officer. Since leaving the navy he has spent most of his time setting up his radar equipment for the oil ex- ploration concern. Should its trial prove it a success, great possibilities for future development in the field of commerical exploitations of radar are indicated, This is the first timg it hag been associated with a search for ofl, During his years at sea Mr. John- son toyed with various ideas for civ ilian uses for radar and, on leaving the service, he went to New York and laid before Standard Oil offi- clals a plan he had worked out for plotting points on open water, He had heard the oll company was planning to seek for oil under some 2,000 square miles of shallow water off the northwest Bahamas, The company' saw merit in the plan and decided at once to give it a trial, Use Diving Bell Petroleum engineers possessed the required instruments which, used in a diving bell, could determ- ine the nature of geoglogical forma- tions beneath th.> ocean bed. Radar was not to be used for this purpose. What Mr. Johnson's apparatus was designed to do was to make possible easy charting, down to within a few yards of various points on the open sea where geo-physical readings were made so that, after the entire area was charted, it could be asses- sed for drilling possibilities and ov- erwater rigs sent to the exact spot or spots where oil was most likely to be found. The equipment comprises radar set on the ship from which the div- ing bell is operated and radar re- flecting targets 50 feet high placed on rafts floating at distances up to 156 miles from the ship at charted points, As the ship carries its explora- tion further and further out of sight of land the targets are moved to fixed successive distances fur- ther from shore. The ship takes its location by reference to its own po- sition and then repeats the process. The original chart location of ship and targets, of 'course, are related to shoreline known poins. Water 20 Feet Deep In the area now being surveyed the water is rarely more than 20 feet deep even at points miles out of sight. The oil company is using a form- er Canadian naval anti-submarine vessel, a Fairmile named the Stan- ba, for its search. Mr, Johnson has provided his ra- dar set with three screens instead of the usual one to depict reflected images, The first screen shows the operating ship as a bright spot in the centre of concentric rings radi- ating outwards, eath representating 1,000 yards distance on the water surface. The targets appear as bright spots semewhere among the rings at a distance from the cen- tre of the screen, which corres- ponds to their distance in 1,000's of yards from the ship. A second screen transfers all this into 4 graduated line running across the centre representating a horizontal view of the surface of the water. The third screen takes the two rings between which the tar- get is located, and magnifies the reading by graduated scale down to fractional location of the target in terms of yards instead of thousands of yards, Folds and domes of rock forma- tions under the ocean floor can be mapped by gravity meters operated by a man who goes down in a div. ing bell, The deeper, non-oil bearing igneous "basement" under is sur- veyed by a magnetometer which can be flown in an areoplane. * May Be Used In Air ¢Mr. Johnson believes his radar equipment can be adapted to aire plane use. Thus far another system, known ag Shoran (short range navi- gation) has been about the only practical method of utilizing radar for air navigation, It requires cone struction of two or three costly shore-based tower installations, Canadian Arsenals Ltd. officials whose aim it 15 to see that Cana- dian surplus wartime equipment is disposed of in the best possible way have shown interest in Mr. Johy , son's work and are renting the mf terials necessary for trial and ¢ ° velopment of the system. EFFECTIVE "MINES" STOP TRESPASSERS '° Johannesburg, Sept. 1.--(CP)-- Trespassing motorists who choose to ignore the signs telling them fo stay out of the Dongola botanical reserve in northern Transvaal are likely to regret their decision. The intruders, most of them would-be game poachers, have an excellent chance of winding up in the middle of the park with a set of flat tires. Roads in the park are skilfully "mined" with bent nails and other sharp-pointed obstacles, laid flush with the road and almost com- pletely invisible to motorists, who may continue for several miles into the park before the "mines" take effect.
