SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY. NEWS Tomato Plants Too Little, Too Late, Settles For $200 ¥ / The case of Fleming versus Wil- llamson and The Claremont Can- 2 Company was resumed before Honor, Judge D. B. Coleman Mangan K.C. appe: ; tiff and J. W. Carrick K.C. for defendants. The plaintiff, James J. Fleming of North Oshawa, was claiming loss of revenue from seven acres of land prepared for the growing of toma- toes in the summer of 1945, and for he claimed the defendants ailed to deliver the tomato as promised. The defendant out that plants were de- to the plaintiff which he refused to accept, but Mr. Fleming claimed that they' were "too little and too late". According to witnesses for the de- fence the season of 1946 had been a bad one for tomatoes. A cold, spring, had delayed planting most farmers had harvested half of the normal yield to a combination of late plant- and a frost between September and 20th. that an earlier planting was pos- sible on the Fleming farm which has light soil and was suitable for an earlier crop than the heavier clay loam generally found in the b¢ near the base line. "defence called W. H. Down of Brooklin and R. Lewis, farming south of the base line. These men, according to the defendant, had re- ceived the plants which Mr. Flem- ing had refused to accept and both men stated that the plants were good healthy stock. Mr. Down said that he had received some worse and some better but had been glad to get them, After hearing the evidence, Judge Coleman held. a conference with counsel for both parties in the ac- tion and recommended that an at- tempt be made to reach a settle- ment. After a short delay, they an- nounced that their clients had reached an agreement, and that the defendant and plaintiff had agreed to a settlement of $200. Judge Cole- man complimented counsel and both parties for their avoidance of continued and costly litigation and brought the case to a close.

Yeovil, Somerset, England--(CP) --A new record for house construc tion--erection of an aluminum house in 40 minutes 27 seconds--is claimed by Prefabricated Construc- tions, » International Exchangees Five girls from Smith College on exchange at the University of Toronto are shown looking over the local newspaper as they sit on the morning balk campus. Sitting are Annie Wurtele, Carol Winslow and Marilyn ] Robertson Heyman, while the standees are Marianne Thompson, and Joanne Smith Students Impressed By Fifty Cent Steaks From Toronto "Varsity" "The exchange system goes fur- ther than differences in customs and dress," according to Marilyn Heyman, one of five exchange stu- dents from Smith College, North- ampton, Mass. "It means. more than just having men around." Marilyn, who hails from Manhat- tan ("I live between the tall build- ings") is living in Whitney Hall Joanne Thomson, from the Bronx, N.Y, and Carroll Winslow from New Jersey are at Wymilwood. St. Hilda's is playing host to Ann Wurteld from Minneapolis," Minn.,, and Marianne Robertson from Lowell, Mass, "Everyone Nice" "Everyone has been so nice to us, from President Smith down", said Joanne, "We are greatly impressed with Toronto's hospitality. The professors have been very helpful to us, despite the extra work caused by overcrowding, except for their annoying habit of recommending text books which are out of print." Although the girls miss the peace and quiet of the New England aut- umn countryside, they find the cul- tural life of our city surprisingly full and stimulating with music and theatre, to suit every taste. Two things which all the girls miss very much are the "Sunday Times" and their bicycles. However, this is more than compensated for by the fact that steaks can be procured at Mac's for fifty (50) cents. "The architecture of the build- Ings exudes atmosphere," comment ed Ann, 'but there is certainly an air of seriousness underneath the superficial galety of the campus." "Students here seem to be train- ing very seriously for life, particu- larly in the specialized colleges." Despite the protests of many that Varsity lacks college spirit, the girls think we have all kinds of that old "Rah Rah". Footbal] week- ends, college dances, international students clubs, and political clubs all help to make a lively atmos- phere around the college. Political clubs don't seem to be very differ- ent here from other places, how- ever, al! wanting to do a lot but never seeming to get anywhere. Debating Clubs "Your debating clubs are a lot of fun, and show that the students are taking an active Interest in cur- rent affairs," said Carroll, "The idea of modelling them on Parliamen- tary procedure lends an air of col- or but doesn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the debaters." Of particular interest was the In- ternational Students Club because Smith College has been very active in the ISS and other international student organizations. The first meeting of the club here impressed the girls with its size and spirit. Canadian universities haven't gone as far as many American colleges in adopting "sister" or "brother" col- leges in foreign lands however. Smith has a "sister" college in China, "My first impulse when I came up here was to tell all my friends at home to come too and see things for themselves," commented Mar- ilyn. "Canadians know so much more about the States 'than we know about Canada, but we are gradually coming to: pay more at- tention to our neighbor to the north, and it is about time." There js not apparently much difference in the methods of teach- ing in the two colleges, although, naturally, the classes at Smith are not as crowded as here. One big &if- ference is in the method of choos- ing courses. At Toronto, courses are pretty rigidly mapped out for the student leaving only a few min. or choices in pass subjects. On the contrary, at Smith, after the fresh- man year in which there are several compulsory courses, the individual student is free to choose her sub- Jects, within certain limits. How Exchange System Works The exchange system can only work if students from both institu- tions express a desire to partici- pate, Girls from all the colleges who are now in second year are urged to contact Marilyn if they are interested in going to Smith College 'as exchange students next year, Marilyn has considerable literature about Smith College and the States in general in her room in Falconer House, Whitney Hall Last year a considerable amount ot difficulty was encountered in get- ting girls to sign up for the ex- change. It was felt that this was due to lack of information about the whole exchange system and the idea behind it. This year there has already been a.much greater inter- est shown. "The four girls who were here last year have made the system both famous and popular, and the Tor- onto girls who were at Smith have been simply wonderful to us, show- ing us around, and being generally helpful," said Marilyn. "When our connection with Smith is revealed everyone takes an immediate inter- est in us." "I love it here, I find something new and interesting every day," was her final comment.

After some discussion, the Board possed a resolution approving of the dissolution of the present district and the formation of a larger area. Special forms will be filled out and sont to the Department of Educa- n. The step taken was the result of work and discussions which have been going on for some months, and which culminated in the hold- ing of a meeting on the subject in Orillia last Wednesday night. Trustee Harry Tissington said that the proposed new high school area which includes Orillia and Coldwater and the Townships of Orillia, Matchedash, three-quarters of Medonte, and one-half of Oro, could mot start functioning at least before January 1948. There was no doubt that more room would be required at the Orillia Collegiate Institute to look after from 700 to 750 students, He suggested that if other municipalities approved the plan the Board should meet with the heads of those municipalities early in January, 1047, to decide exactly what the requirements would be and to draw up plans for an addition to the Collegiate. He pointed out that according to the figures estimated as to the cost of the new area, the munici- palities would pay 22 mills for Collegiate purposes. At present Orillia was paying 5.1 mills. Medical Equipment To Gorlovka Sydney, N.S., Nov. 16 -- (CP) -- Mayor Jack MacLean said today he had received a letter from the Rus- sian Embassy in Ottawa suggest- ing that money raised during the war to aid the Russian steel city of Gorlovka might be used to purchase badly needed X-ray, surgical and dental equipment. 3 In recent weeks the Gorlovka fund matter has been subject to discussion after it was disclosed that $9,400 raised here to aid the city had not been forwarded and still reposed in the bank.. Sydney Steel Workers Union ap- proached Mayor MacLean who wrote to the Russian Embassy ask- ing for advice as to where the mon- ey could be sent. The letter received yesterday said the medical equipment would be a valuable gift to the citizens of Gorlovka, Mayor MacLean will call a meet- ing of the fund committee to de- cide a course of action, Fire-Balls Marsh Gas Peterborough, Nav. 16, --(CP)-- Freakish fireworks displays, describ- ed as "balls of fire" and attributed to spontaneous combustion, have been occurring lately in a marsh at the head of Lake Chemong near here. The fire balls, about the size of a man's head and repeatedly seen by farmers, shoot up from the swampland in rapid succession and then quickly burn out and disap- pear. On one occasion 3,000 tur- keys on the farm of Vernon Lowes became panic-stricken by the phe- nomenon which occurred in pre- vious years, Chemistry experts said it is caus- ed by the spontaneous combustion of methane, commonly known as marsh gas. The highly-inflamable gas is believed to be ignited from heat originating in rotting vegeta- n. Caustic Soda Output Is Said Lagging Windsor, Nov. 16. --(CP)--It is doubtful whether full production of caustic soda and chlorine--vital to several Canadian industries--will be reached before 1947, H. Lloyd John- ston, manager of the alkali works of Canadian Industries Limited, said here. The C.IL. plant, strikebound most of the summer, resumed op- eration Oct. 18 and the manufac- ture of salt resumed Oct. 26. Sen.

Bulletins trickling back home from the U.N, front report that liv- ing prices around there are getting fantastic, For instance, breakfast of a couple of eggs, toast and cof- fee at the hotel where the Cana- dians are staying has risen to $1.75 at last reports and was threaten- ing to climb clear out of sight. * Bd» Incidentally, despite the widely divergent views of Canada's U.N. delegates on domestic affairs, the they are working together in com- plete harmony. As' an example, when Opposition Leader John Bracken spoke Wed- nesday how the costs of operating U.N. should be shared, he was ace tually setting forth the official view of the delegation, despite his position on the opposite side of the political fence from the govern- ment. LE I Mr, Bracken himself - confirmed this view of the smooth-working Canadian combination at New York in an interview here this week in which he told how the delegates riet daily and consulted on what position they, as representatives of Canada, should take, "The Canadians aren't taking any particular stand in the battle rag- ing over the permanent home of the U.N. organization. They feel that, with the United States settled up- on as the country, the actual locus should be left to countries more distantly separated to settle to their own convenience. Best guess of Canada's delegates is that San Francisco will pick off the plum. [LR Trade winds: Some changes in the Empire preferences likely will develop from the deliberations of the International Trade Organiza- tion at London. Before the I.T.O. meets again in April to draft a charter, Empire delegates will ga- ther to deal with the special inter- ests of the Empire countries, It can be taken, though, that there will be no general abrogation of the references by Canada for the sole purpose of joining in a world-wide trade organization. What is more likely is that any preference given up will be bargain- ed off for a quid jro quo in some other direction, Cartels, a subject in which Ca- nada has considerable interest, can be counted on to give the I1.T.O. considerable worry. Different coun- tries have diametrically opposite views on the question. The Canadian viewpoint, it is believed, is that there should be no general stand either for or against cropping on its own merits or demerits, Auxiliary Plans Christmas Party STAN WEEKS ndent Westmount, Nov. 15--The Novem= ber meeting of the Fourth Oshawa Girl Guides Mothers' - Auxillary dealt with tentative plans for the Brownies and Guide Chris Party to be held in the school, De= cember 11.
