Head Table Guests 'The honored guests and members of the Newcastle Ball Club who sat at head table were as follows: Rev. W. W, Patterson, Rev. D. R. Dewd- ney, Reeve and President Geo, Wal- ton, Ex. Reeve C, R. Carneth, Vice- Pres. Earl Walton, Guest speaker C. F, Cannon, J. 'A. Smith, Karl Weyrich, Keith Alken, Geo. Crawth- er, Mrs, H. Hancock and Gordon Catter. Rev. D. R. Dewdney proposed a. toast to the King. Rev. W. W, Pat- terson followed with a brief word of welcome to speaker and honored guests. Gordon Catter, one of our returned boys, thanked the com- mittee, Churches and the Commun- ity responsible for the banquet, on behalf of the boys present. Mrs. G, Porter convener of the commit- tee replied to the "thanks" in a charming little speech. Mr. Fraser, a friend of Rev, Pat- terson, took his place at the plano while Reeve Geo. Walton led the guests in a lively sing-song. Vice-President Earl Walton in- vited everyone to go up to the main auditorium to enjoy an entertain- ment and dance provided by the Ball Club. All the Community was invited to attend this entertain- ment and reception given in honor of our boys who returned from overseas duty. The program was supplied by Russ Creighton's talent and was of a very fine quality. Reeve Geo. Walton gave a word of welcome to honored guests and citis2ns., In conclusion Reeve Walton asked ev- eryone to stand and observe one minute silent prayer in honor of Yicee who gave the supreme sacri- ce. C. R. Carneth introduced the guest speaker and one time citizen of Newcastle, Mr. C. F. Cannon of Toronto, Mr. Cannon's address Surgical Feat Offers 'Blue Babies' Hope; Main Artery Tapped : Chicago, Nov, 12 (AP)--A new way of performing the operation to save the lives of "blue babies" --introducing a surgical feat previously considered impossible--was an- nounced today by three Northwestern University physicians. The surgeons for the first time tapped the body's main artery, the great abdominal aorta, ®-- | which springs from the heart's left | chamber and gives rise to all the arteries of the circulatory system. Physicians said the operation would not benefit all "blue chil- ' dren," who are born with crippled hearts, but would help most to ' overcome otherwise hopeless inval- .idism and in some cases preveat death, , Details of the new surgical tech- nique, first performed on a human being (a 21-months-old girl) two months ago, were announced in the journal of the American Medical . Association by Drs. Willis J. Potts, : Sidney Smith and Stanley Gibson of Children's Memorial Hospital at . the University's medical school. They said the operation achieves the same result as one originated by Dr. Alfred Blalock and Dr. Helen ' B. Taussig, who in 1944 performed the first successful operation on a . "blue baby" at Johns Hopkins Hos- pital in Baltimore, + The malformed hearts of "blue babies" cannot pump enough blood to the lungs to pick up the vital oxygen needed by the body. This deficiency results in blue finger- nails, purple lips, bluish complexion and, sometimes, death. In the Blalock-Taussig operation, be physicians said, a lung artery Joined to either of two big arter- near the heart, the subclavian or the innominate. This rechan- neling of the blood stream forces blood into the lung artery and on through the lung. However, using the subclavian § artery sometimes results in a little danger to arm circulation and us- ing the innominate. artery entails the hazard of an inadequate supply of blood to the brain. The physicians said that only be- 'pause of the surgical work pioneered by Drs. Blalock and Taussig "did we have the courage to attempt this new operation," Three Car Deaths Blamed On Curve Criticism of the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways is voiced by H. Brown, president of the South Pickering Ratepayers' Association, for "lack of action" in remedying what he terms dangerous driving conditions caused by an "S" curve in No. 2 Highway at Petticoat Creek ; According to a statement credited to the association by Brown, the death on Saturday of 11-months-old Pamela Gray was the third fatal accident at the same spot in four years. The statement adds that all acci. dents there have been caused by fast driving on the part of some- one, plus "the blind spot of the De- partment of Highways to criticism and suggestions." Erection of special warning signs to the east and west of the curve is asked by the association, and it is pointed out the answer that the four-lane highway to Oshawa will relieve the situation "will not go down," ' "The new road will not be ready this winter, and even when it is open there will still be considerable traffic on the present road. What is required on the part of both the Department of Highways and the motorist, is a little common sense and a little humanity," says the statement. It also adds, in this connection, that a more rigid patrol of this sec- tion of the highway should be car- ried out by police, and "a few tick- ets a day for careless driving and speeding" should be handed out. Bus Crash Hero RUSSELL EDWARD McMASTER Of Gananoque, who was burned about the hands and face as he helped passengers out of the bus which he was driving after it had smashed into the rea: of a car that had stopped behind another bus, near Brighton. McMaster's bus rico- cheted off the rear of the car across the road into the path of a truck. Flames enveloped the car, bus and truck, Twenty-six persons escaped death in the triple crash. was one of the high lights of the evening, and his words will long be remembered. Present 14 Watches The men, who had returned from overseas since October 11, 1945, were asked to take their places on the platform while Mr. Cannon on be- half of the Ball Club, presented & wrist watch to the following: Alfred Adair, Frederick Adair, Milton Brown, Harold Brown, John Catter, Sidney Ferguson, Ray Foster, Regi- nald Meadows, Jack Nesbitt, Keith Rowe, Howard Rowe, Harold Rog- erson, Douglas Walton and Thomas Woodlock. ; At a previous reception and en- tertainment on Oct. 11, 1945, twen- ty-six of the boys were presented with similar watches. Thomas Woodlock expressed the appreciation and thanks on behalf of the men present, to the Ball Club for the lovely watches and also the cigarettes and gum that the Club sent to the boys while they were overseas, Reeve Walton asked all ex-sery- icemen to come forward to the plat- form where three chéers were given them by the large audience. programme closed with O' Canada. At 10 pm, the dancing started and 279 people as well as the guests attended.

The |. ment planned by the Board of 4 Above is the sketch by E. Ev. and Son, architects, of the first junior high unit of the major school develop- ucation of New Westminster, B.C. Nearly 70% of the cost of the first unit will be paid by the provincial government, the balance to be provided by the municipality under the terms of a bylaw submitted to the ratepayers in December. This unit will provide for 1,400 students. A senior high school and other units to relieve congestion in the schools of the city are to be erected later. The new junior high unit povides for 35 class rooms and auditorium to seat: 1500, a lazge gymnasium, two small gyms, a cafeteria and medical and teachers offices. ~--Cut Courtesy "British Columbian," New Westminster, B.C. Faith Great Need In India Cure Unrest The Christian message and Chris- tian faith provided the best solu- tion for unrest in India, according to Rev. Leslie Wilton, missionary from India, who addressed the sup- per meeting of the Oshawa Chris- tian Business Men's Committee last evening. Mr, Wilton has speat 19 years in India and during the war years was in government service assisting in rationing of food and medical supplies and in the service of the YM.C.A,, which in India is part of the military organization. Taking as his theme the words of Paul "This is the victory that over- cometh the world, even our faith" the speaker said that the great op- portunity in India was to reach the youth of the land who are growing up practically without any religion and without any convictions regard- ing honesty, decency, etc. Mr. Wilton quoted an Indian recruiting officer as saying he was instructed to give preference to Christians, particularly in the signalling corps, where loyalty and trustworthiness were so essential. The speaker said the missionaries "must work night and day to get the young people for the church and for Christ" and added "if we don't do this the com- munists will get them". The influence and importance in public life of the Christian com- munity in India is quite out of proportion to its numbers, Mr, Wil- ton said. He had found the Chris- tian faith and Christian fellowship a passport in many difficult situa- tions and in opening doors to useful service. He said self-government of India could only succeed "if we can get the message of Christ dominant in their thinking". Britain has kept hold on India because the Hindus know in their hearts they can trust their Christian rulers, was another striking statement of the missionary Speaker. The meeting was presided over by George : W. Humphries, vice-chair- man. A violin solo was given by Mitchell Glecoff and piano numbers by Mr. Weiner of the Jewish Mis- sion, Ald, Gordon Davis thanked thé speaker. Two minutes silence was observed, followed by singing a verse of "Onward, Christian Soldiers", At a business meeting of members following the supper meeting, H, B. Wilson was elected chairman for the 1946-47 season, and the following were elected members of the com- mittee: George W. Humphries, James Orr, Jack Warburton, A. R. Alloway, Albert Owen, Archie Dan- cey, O. Sharrard, Archie Goldsmith, Jack Hooper, Walter Lane and E. R. Stacey. TIMES.GAZETTE WELL READ An indication of how well The Times-Gazette is read and also the popularity of the editorial page feature dealing with news items of past years is given by an item ap- pearing in yesterday's '15 years ago column. The editor was informed this morning that it was Margaret Griffin, nof Winnie Griffin, who won the fire prevention essay contest in 1931. Margaret attended St. Gre- gory's Separate School and not Al. bert Street School. Galt Reporter Celebrates 100th Birthday Tomorrow Galt, Nov. 12--(CP)--The Galt Reporter tomorrow celebrates its 100th birthday and its second ma- jor anniversary this year. The only daily newspaper in South Waterloo County, it marked 50 years of dai- ly publication Oct, 26. : The Reporter will be the fourth Ontario newspaper to pass an im- portant milestone in 1946. The Brockville Recorder was 125 years old Jan. 16, the Hamilton Spectator published its centennial issue July 15, and the Oshawa Times-Gazette celebrated its 75th anniversary Oct- ober 1st. 'The Reporter was not Galt's first newspaper. The Dumfries Courier was founded here in 1844 but failed two years later and Peter Jaffray and his two sons, English immi- grants who had come to Canada to join the Couriers staff, launched the Galt Reporter and General Ad- vertiser Nov. 13, 1846. The news- paper grew up with Galt. The elder Mr. Jaffray was joined in the Reporter's management by a man named Ainslie and the pair carried on until Galt was incorpor- ated as a village in 1850. The part- nership then was dissolved and Mr, Ainslie founded ° another Galt newspaper, the Dumfries Reformer, but sold it to James Young in 1852. Mr. Young published the Reformer for 10 years and then sold it again; after a series of ownerships the second paper was absorbed by the Reporter in 1912, The Reporter was purchased in 1922 from a company of local men by Allan Holmes, H. M. Huelston and A. D. McKenzie, a newspaper group which already had acquired the Canadian Observer of Sarnia. Messrs. Holmes and Huelston had come from Prince Albert, Sask. where they published the Herald. During the following decade the group also bought the Welland- Port Colborne Tribune and the Woodstock Sentinel-Review. Galt Publishers, Limited, with Mr. Holmes in command, continued to operate the Reporter until June 1, 1944, when Roy H. Thomson of Toronto bought the newspaper and the Sarnia, Welland and Woodstock units of the Holmes-Huelston-Mec- kenzie chain. Mr. Holmes stayed on as publisher. 3 Since the 1922 purchase, the Re- porter's circulation had climbed from 4,355 to 8350 daily. A new |W building for the rewspaper--it has occupied its present home since 1900--is planned, when conditions permit, on Ainslie Street South, 'op- posite the Galt Armoury.

Sir Evelyn Barker as British commander in troubled Palestine on or about Web- ruary 1, 1947, TRAILER BREAKS LOOSE At 8 am, today a two-wheel trail- er loaded with metal. broke loose from a truck that wasgbeing driven east along King Street East. It's coupling tore along the road, and the trailer careened around and mounted the sidewalk at the cor- ner of Victoria Street. Had it over- turned it might have caused a seri- ous accident but although it teetered perilously it was held fast by the mud just at that spot and no one was hurt. Windsor Ensemble Due Here Great interest has been aroused by the announcement of the visit of the famous Windsor Citadel En- semble to the local Salvation Army for the coming week-end. This galaxy of musicians consists of eleven men. All are members of the Windsor Citadel Band, and with one exception they have all seen service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, A brief resume of them individually reveals that all are masters of their chosen instruments. Cliff Willlams was Cornet soloist for the famous RCAF Overseas Band, and as such played over the BBC. He also had the great privi- lege of appearing with the prize contesting band of the Fairey Avia- tion Works. Ed O'Connor, bass vir- tuoso, was a member of the RCAF Central Band, Ottawa, and toured Canada and the United States with that aggregation of remarkable musicians. Fred Harding, is the arranger and planist for the En- semble, as well as being considered the finest Bass Trombonist in Can- ada. He will perform on that in- strument ('just watch the old slide go'). Many of the arrangements played during the week-end will be original manuscripts from the pen of this versatile musician. Bandsman Ken Wade, trombon- ist of the Ensemble, 1s a member of an outstanding family of musicians in Windsor, Turing the war he was stationed in England and did solo work over the BBC. The other members of the group are equally worthy of note, but space forbids individual mention. All of them are "sons of the regiment", in that their fathers are Salvationist musicians. In several instances, both father and son play along side each other in the Wind- sor Band. The Ensemble will play Saturday at 8 o'clock, Sunday at 3.15 o'clock, as well as during the morning and evening service at the Salvation Army Citadel. Jehovah's Witnesses Have Scrap At Big Cleveland Convention Cleveland, O., Nov. 12.--It's sad to report, but the fact is the Jeho- vah's Witnesses, those 500,000 peo- ple throughout the country who are so imbued with the peaceful ways of humanity that they refused to bear arms during two wars, are now fighting among themselves. Politics reared its combative head at their recent convention here. There were sharp words and dirty looks. And several of the embattled brethren were given the old heave- ho by the leaders of the Glad Na- tions Assembly. Whereupon the dis- gruntled ones promptly equipped themselves with signs and picketed a meeting of 58,000 more tractable "Witnesses" at the Cleveland Stad- ium. Even as you and I and John L. Lewis. Witnesses are supposed to follow scriptural teachings to the letter. They refuse to salute the flag as a 'graven image", attack organized religion because of its worldly hier- archies, are convinced that Arma- geddon is just around the corner. They have faced mob violence and imprisonment as conscientious objectors and as practitioners of street-corner evangelism ° in this country; many have seen the in- sides of concentration camps abroad Their numbers increase yearly and they are now spreading in 28 coun- tries throughout the world as an outgrowth of a small sect started about 1876. "Too Worldly" The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society handles all earthly dealings for the movement, including most of its publishing. While worldly possessions are decried for indivi- dual members, the Society owns two buildings valued at more than a million dollars in Brooklyn, N.Y,, as well as two farms in New York state. It buys expensive radio time, pays high-priced attorney fees when its members get into trouble. Dissenting members feel that the wigole thing has become too world- M. P. Fogh of Cheyenne, Wyo. one of the leading "rebels, who has been a pioneer field-worker for 20 years, explains that a tight little governing body of self-appointed administrators of God's rule on earth (the Theocratic State) is run- ning things entirely its own way. He says that no criticism is tolerated, that much is kept secret including the bookkeeping. "Why, no one even knows who the editor of the Watchtower is," he complains. The Watchtower, a semi-monthly magazine, is the offi- cial mouthpiece. "Don't misunderstand. us," says Roy D. Goodrich of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla, who has devoted all his time to the movement since 1913. "We have no fault to find with what they say when they quote Scrip- ture, It's just that they don't prac- tise what they preach." Pickets Discredited In addition, these old-timers claim that Witnesses--who are sup- posed merely to "reveal" the light-- are now being encouraged to active- ly convert. The dissatisfied brethren--most of them enthusiastic workers in the movement for many years--are try- ing to show other Witnesses how they have fallen victims to the very demons the Bible warns about, It's a tough assignment. The Society has discredited them and they have been physically attacked by mobs of the "faithful", Guards have been placed at all entrances to the 120-acre trailer park, established for convention- attending Witnesses, to keep the re. bels from distributing their litera- ture. Goodrich had his hat knocked off, a carrying bag torn from his shoulders, and his literature stolen when he attempted to explain the set-up as he saw it. "All the while they were crying, 'A rope! A rope for Judas!' I finally had to call on a policeman for help," he said. ste ---------- OPEN NEW BREAD DEPOT Canada Bread Company salesmen from the Oshawa and Peterborough districts were honored guests last week at a banquet in connection with the opening of the compahy's new $30,000 distributing centre in Belleville.

Speaking in the fourth of a series of broadcasts designed OPEN ROYAL WINTER FAIR THIS EVENING Toronto, Nov, 12 -- (CP) -- The Royal Winter Fair opens today, re- lapse because of the war. Although the official opening is not scheduled until tonight -- with Ray Atherton, United States am- bassador to Canada officiating -- show-ring and other events get under way in the afternoon. More than 6,000 head of livestock and some 8,000 poultry are housed in the Coliseum buildings at the Canadian National Exhibition Grounds, groomed to compete for some of the richest prizes in Can- adian agriculture. Livestock experts look for one of the closest contests in livestock judging in the class for Holstein bulls between two animals of dis- tinguished lineage. One is Franlo Chip Douglas, owned by F. W. Gris- wold, United States industrialist from Minnesota. The Griswold bull has never been defeated in the show ring in his three years and recently won the grand champion- ship at the national dairy show at Waterloo, Iowa. His Canadian competitor is Marksman, a five-year-old owned by J. J. McCague of Alliston, one of the Dominion's leading Holstein breeders. Marksman has been all- Canadian champion for three years and sired a bull calf recently sold to the Waterloo County Holstein Breeders Association for $40,000, Resume Parcel Post To Poland Postmaster Norman J, Moran of the Oshawa Post Office announces that effective immediately parcel post services are being resumed to Poland.

"Under existing conditions of con- gestion and (housing) shortage," he declared, "any permitted adjust- ments would almost immediately be reflected in all rented properties." If controls were abandoned, "not only would rents rise substantially but there would be many thousands of evictions and painful distress in the process." The twin problem of rental and eviction control had given the Board J'more worry than all the other con- trols put together." Picturing frankly the prospect if controls were lifted the chairman sald: "I know that without the protec tion of rental and eviction controls at this time, there would be many thousands, yes, hundreds of thous- ands, of tenant families forced to move out of their present dwelling place, scrambling with each other for some place to go and bidding rentals up beyond all reason th an sentials of life--a roof over their head." . If landlords were permitted to evict at the end of a tenant's lease, it would be "humanly impossible" to enforce rental ceilings. "You know what would happen," he added. "The tenant would pay what {ie landlord asked and keep quiet ah ut it. The ceilings on rents would have little meaning, and inflation would follow. In other words, ou may be sure that the tenant will always pay a higher rent if it is within his means at all, rather than face eviction when there is an acute shortage of dwell ings." Many landlords had "a good case" for special treatment in the matter of rents, Mr. Gordon sald, Their costs had gone up and their profit margins had narrowed. The Board had tried to work out special means whereby special cases could be ade Jjusted. "I say frankly there is no solution which can be applied to meet the great variety of complaints arise in landlord and tenant rela- tionships." Some might be handled by special courts set up all over the country, but this step would be impossible "because practically every landlord today would want to have his case heard." effort to find one of the first es-: on CORINTHIAN LODGE NO. 61 Meets Every Thursday 8 p.m. 81% King St. West This Week GENERAL BUSINESS SECOND DEGREE We're proud of our money.
