FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Historic Whitby Township Farm Has Changed Hands Moral Re-Armament Assembly Held At Niagara Inspiring "It was one of the most inspiring events I ever wit- nessed," Howard Bradley, well-known local business man, told The Daily Times-Gazette this morning, upon his return from a Niagara Falls, Ont. assembly that included" repre- sentatives of 10 nations and leaders of management and labour among the 500 delegates in attendance. J Outstanding among many inter- pationally known personages present at this Moral Re-arma- ment Assembly was-General of the Army Ho Ying-Chin, described as second only in rank to General- {ssimo Chiang Kai-shek, in China, and to whom the Japs surrender- ed, "Generalissimo Ho served as Chief of Staff through the war years," explained Mr, Bradley, #and although known as a man who reserved judgment on most occasions, he unhesitatingly de- clared himself most impressed with the principles underlying Moral Re-armament and the spirit animating all those seeking to put them into effect, "With the General on the plat. form during his great address was His Excellency Dr, 8, 8. Liu, the Chinese Ambassador to Can- ada; Dr. N. G. Wel, Chinese rep- resentative on the U.N, Atomic Energy Commission; A. R. K. MacKenzie of the British Foreign Office and adviser to Sir Alexan- der Cadogan, British representa- tive on the Security Council; Al- bert E. Goss, Master of the Na- tional Grange, representing 750, 000 farmers in the United States, and other distinguished visitors." Addressing the large gathering, Gen. Ho said, in part, "Our gen- eration 1s now standing at the crossroads. If we are to avoid another Armageddon and save our elvilization from retrogression perhaps utter destruction, we must make stupendous efferts in the moral rearmament of the peoples of all lands, The benevo- lent spirit of Christ and the moral code of Confucius, as well as other lessons of virtue, should be practised and developed along- side with the development of At- omic Energies, Only in this way could we expect a future world of peace, of happiness and of pros- perity. "The very name of this As- sembly," he sald, "carries with it a deep and far-reaching meaning that is closely connected with the future prosperity and peace of the world, While statesmen and gen- erals are fully occupied in clear- ing up the debris and wreckage of the last war, people are again haunted with the spectre of an- other possible conflagration, In short everyone of us agrees that something must be done to save this miserable world, but what is to be done?" General Ho answered his ques- tion in a call that emphasized the revitalization of the moral and spiritual values that are the core of both Eastern and Western cul- ture, rather than in a feverish VERY, INSPIRING (Continued on Page 12) Linemen Extend Telephone Lines In Raglan Area L.

Publicity For Ski Club Was Effective That publicity in The Dally Times-Gazette brings excellent re- sults is a fact well-known to come mercial advertisers, but it is equal- ly true in relation to the promotion of events of all kinds. In this con. nection the following letter speaks for itself: Dear Mr. Alloway:-- We wish to thank you for co-op- erating with the Oshawa Ski Club and the Community Recreation As- sociation in the publicity for the special program "Ski Night in Osh- awa" which was held on Monday, January 6th. The evening was a real success with something between five hun. dred and six hundred interested people overflowing the Piccadilly Room at the Hotel. Many non-skiers attended, which is one of the things we hoped would happen. The Swiss Instructional Film was especially interesting to the whole audience. All in all it was a good community event, and the full-page display .in The Times-Gazette, which you help- ed to make possible, contributed largely to the success. (signed) Harold B. Armstrong, President, Oshawa Ski Club, R. L. Coleman, Director, Community Recreation Assn, The Times-Gazette is proud to be associated with the Oshawa Ski Club and the Community Recreation Association in the good work both are doing and assures them and all other worthy organizations of con. tinued interest and si in keep- ing their activities before the pub- lic.

Now Only 59, Behind Bars 28 Years North Bay, Ont., Jan 10.--(CP)-- A man who has spent 28 of his 59 years behind prison bars picked uj another two-year sentence in Ni Bay police court today. > He was Alfred Moisan of Mon- treal. A week ago he pleaded guil- ty to breaking and entering a store and stealing a windbreaker. His record, produced in court to- day showed that the 58-year-old man had been sentenced first in 1909 in Montreal to three years for breaking and entering and theft, Then followed a list of sentences varying from one to six years for similar offences, all committed in Quebec. The sentences showed that Mol- san has spent 23 years in St. Vin- cent de Paul Penitentiary and slightly over five years in other jails, Magistrate M. G.

G. Faludi, Tororto planning Susultant, sala last night in an ad- approval by Toronto ratepayer; of a clearance project will have a | profound influence on the thinking of city councils across Canada. in which he also declared that | 'ed an exhibition of the cily's 1943 master plan, Hamilton was the only city in Canada with the ideal minimum park area -- 10 acres for every 1,000 residents--but its parks were diffi- cult of access, Hamilton was unique in that it took 100 rears for its resi- dents to realize the mour.ain-top was an ideal residential area. Other In Peterborough and Str: 'ord, cities with similar topographical "the best citizens become mem- situations usually developed higher bers of city council" and represen- areas as the best residential sec- tatives from all walks of life serve on planning committees, he said. In Peterborough 25 per cent o° the citizens were interested enough to | attend a city planning exhibit while in Toronto only thre per cent view- tions. The Toronto slum clearance vote was the first popular recognition that blighted areas shculd be clear- ed and replaced by subsidized, low- rental housing. Hawaii Citizens Flee Wrath of Stormy Pacific Depressed Area Work U.K.'s Plan London, Jan, 10--(CP) -- Efforts to reduce unemployment in areas where it was most prevalent be- fore the second world war by bring- ing in new secondary industries, seem to be getting results. On the basis of construction costs, more than half of all new factory building planned for the United Kingdom is taking place in these depressed districts which have less than one-sixth of the country's total working population. "The building programs have had to face great initial difficulties, but the stage of plannng is now com- plete, and the physical realization of the schemes is now beginning," says the Weekly Board of Trade Journal in a progress report, Government and private building will total £53,700,000 ($214,800,000) in the "development area' to which it is administration policy to attract new industries; and £46,800,- 000 in the remainder of the coun- Between the wars, unemploy- ment was most serious in regions dependent on the heavy industries --coal and iron in South Wales, shipbuilding in Scotland, to give two examples -- or on one industry subject to maintained export de- mand, such as cotton in Lancashire. Even now, when the United King- dom has an acute over-all shortage of manpower, there are pockets of unemployment in these same dis- tricts. The government's plan is to give construction priorities for es- tablishment of new secondary in- dustries there to bring a better-bal- anced economy. But because of construction de- lays, short-term projects must be provided to give work to the jobless and road, bridge and tunnel works are going ahead to improve develop- ment area communications. One project is a new bridge across the Severn river to Jink South Wales with Bristol, the Midlands and Lon- don, Selection of suitable factory sites is left to the Board of Trade. Re- serves of land are being set up by government acquisition, both for immediate building programs and possible future expansion, Ladies Guests Of Men's Club At St. George's On Wednesday evening, in the Parish Hall, the members of the St. George's Men's Club enter- tained their ladies, After a fit- ting welcome to the ladies by President Gordon Brough a full evening of fun and frolic was headed off with a sing-song and a grand march, Marguerite and Ted Farrow presented lively piano numbers which were well received, while Bill Askew and his euphonium "Began the Beguine" in a manner never before heard by.the aud- ience, Many and varied group games were played and by the enthusiasm of those participating, proved that one never grows old.

Local police were advised of the truck's recovery and said they believed the load of groceries was intact. Civilians evacuated from a suburb of the city emergency truck as one of the huge tidal waves which inundated the shores of the Hawaiian islands roars towards them. The wave climbs half- way up the trunks of the seaside palm trees and tosses debris on its crest as it bears down on the refugees. Thanks Is Due Britain For Maintaining Butter Supply in Lean Months Ottawa, Jan. 10 (CP)--Canadians today had ration- short Britain to thank for the comfortable prospect of a full six-ounce butter ration during the coming "lean months." Assurance that the butter ration would not fall below that figure during the seasonally short period of February and March came yesterday with the announcement that the United Kingdom has agreed to divert 12,000,000 pounds of New Zea- land and Australian butter--ap- proximately a pound per person-- into Canada from her own im- ports. The diversion, arranged by agreement between Britain and the South Pacific Dominions which normally ship their entire surplus to the U.K., was afinoun- ced last night in Lodon and New Zealand. Most of the shipments will arrive between Jan, 31 and April 1. It did not mean that the ave- rage Briton will find less butter on his table, His weekly uota of six ounces of butter on his table, His weekly uota of six ounces of butter and margarine combined will be maintained, But it did mean that Britain had virtually dipped into her own reserves to the extent of 12,000,- 000 pounds, since the butter nor- mally would have gone to that country, Two reasons were advanced here and in London for the move, The first was that, with rationing no longer in effect in the United States, Canadian officials did not feel a ration of less than six ounces could possibly be main- tained, Last year the Dominion's ra- tion fell to four ounces for a few months, but officials stated that anything below six ounces would be "dangerous." The second was that the Cana- dian position was due partly 'to the "diversion of milk to the man- ufacture of cheese specially for the United Kingdom, It was pointed out in London also that Canada has no margar- ine to supplement her ration. "In effect," sald an Ottawa spokesman, 'we pointed out to Britain that we were running short of butter because we had been using our milk to make - cheese for Britain and sald we would appreciate some butter to maintain our ration. Guerillas Flown Goods Greeks Say Athens, Jan, 10 -- (AP) -- A For- eign Office spokesman said today unidentified planes had been flying over Northern Greece recently at night, apparently supplying guerilla bands battling government troops in the area. The spokesman sald Basil Den- dranis, permanent Greek delegate to the United Nations, had been in- structed to inform U.N, officials. Representatives of the major pow- ers also have been advised, the spokesman declared. He added that if the flights con- tinue, "the Greek government will be forced to take measures provided for under international law" and defend its territory by shooting down the planes. Baby, 18 Months, Is Fire Victim Smiths Falls, Jan. 10--(CP)-- Eighteen - months . old Stanley Charles died in hospital here yes- terday from burns received when fir' dstroyd their one-storey frame house at nearby Andrewsville, The child's mother, Mrs, Robert Charles, seriously burned when she attempted to save her son, is in critical condition while anoth- er son, Sydney, aged four, was reported to be in "favorable con- dition, An overheated stove pipe was believed to have started the blaze, Neighbors noticed the fire, but arrived too late to save any of the family's belongings. Andrewsville is about 40 miles west of Ottawa. Toronto, Jan) 10--(CP)-- Higher prices for farm products and the removal of all price controls on agricultural produce were some of the changes proposed yesterday at the annual convention here of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Ontario Agriculture Minister T. L. Kennedy told members the soon- er all controls were removed "the better it will be for the farmer." "Removal of controls would be the best thing for the farmer, the consumer and the province as a whole," he said, adding that it would finish the black market in agricultural produce by restoring the balance of supply and demand. The value of government subsi- dies to the farmer was upheld by Kennetlh Betzner, federation presi- dent, who said removal of subsi- dies without an increase in basic prices would be an injustice to the farmer. H. H. Hannam of Ottawa, presi- dent of the Canadian Federation of Blame Farm Products Shortage On Controls; Removal Pressure On Agriculture supported the forma- tion of a world food organization by the United Nations. : He said its chief value to farmers everywhere would be the institution of floor and ceiling prices on the world market for farm products. The Dominion government's plan to import 12,000,000 pounds of New Zealand 'butter to ease a possible lag in production was criticized by H. H. Scott, of Norwich. He urged the federation to pro- test this policy as unfair to Cana- dian butter producers who 'can't get the cost of production for our butter." Agriculture Minister Kennedy in a statement earlier had blamed the meat shortage on the uncertainty about price controls on livestock, which he said led farmers to with- hold their cattle from the market. He told the federation: "If the con- trols were off, the farmer would have certainty of mind. We cannot produce the maximum yield so long as there is uncertainty." of Hilo Cower in theiré B.C. Benefit $8,000,000 In Tax Plan Vancouver, aJn, 19.--~ (CP)--Bri- tish Columbia will benefit by more than $8,000,000 under the new fin- ancial agreement with the federal government, compared with present conditions, Premier Hart said here last night. The Premier, in an address pre- pared for broadcast over a provin- clal network of the CBC, gave a statistical outline of the agreement and reviewed Dominion - Provin- cial relations, He sald the west coast province would have total rev- enues of $23,799,000 under the agreement compared with some $15,000,000 now. Mr, Hart made no direct refer- ence to the protest of Premier Mc- Nair of New Brunswick, who term- ed the federal offer to B.C. "an af- front" to his province, but reiter- ated that the formula B.C. used to reach an agreement with the fed- eral government, was open to all provinces. British Columbia will receive $21 vy capita instead of the feder- 1 budget proposals that offered a per capita subsidy of $15 in return for vacating the income, corora- tion and succession duty tax fields and statutory subsidies, 120 Years Old; Originally Held By Four Irishmen One of the oldest farms in the district, located on Lot 18, third concession of Whitby Township, has changed hands for perhaps the third time in its 120 years history. Since 1869 the farm has been owned by the Pascoe family and the new owner is Henry Bouskill who has come from North Battleford, Sask. Bartered Bride Kicks Over Traces Rochefort, France, JaJn. 10, -- (Reuters) --Ginette Camille, an at- tractive 17-year-old French girl, sold by her father to an admirer at the age of 14 for 20,000 francs ($160), doesn't want any part of being a "bartered bride." Last week when M. Camille, a laborer, went to the civil court here and asked for authority to rein- state his daugh! in the home. of her purchaser, "Gabriel Laille, an air official, he complained that Ginette had been recalcitrant, re- fusing to stay with her "owner." 'The father told the court he had given his daughter to Pallle in set- tlement of a debt and that he drew a deed of transfer on which he af- fixed stamps to make the transac- tion "legal." But instead of receiving further power from the court, the father and 38-year-old suitor both were arrested. Ginette, in an interview yester- day, said she was/only 14 when "my father encouraged the union and threw me into Paille's arms." "At first everything seemed all right and Paille told people that I was his niece. But life became un- bearable and I tried to run away three times, but my father took me back each time. "My father told me that if I broke the contract with Palille, he would be sent to prison. I went back and Pallle exhausted me with ows." Ontario-Preduced Cattle Top All Toronto, Jan, 10 -- (CP) -- The quality of Ontario produced cattle is famous throughout the world and the province leads both ,England and Scotland as a breeder and ex- porter of purebred stock, officials of the Ontario Agriculture Depart- ment said yesterday. They said that in the past year representatives of 21 countries had applied for and purchased cattle in the province. Plan for Immigration But No Legislation Sighted This Session Ottawa, Jan. 10.--(CP) -- A new Canadian immigration policy is under study by the government, but authoritative sources here be- lieve it unlikely that a new immi- gration Aact will be brought down during the coming session of Par- liament, The new legislation, when it is finally brought down, is expected to be broad, long-term policy which may take the form of the uota immigration system in force in the United States, It is believed the Canadian uo- tas will eventually be fixed so that immigration could be con- trolled more flexibly than in the U.S., where the immigration laws make little allowance for chang- ing conditions, Immigration, a subject of in- tensive committee study and much debate during the last session of Parliament, popped into the fore- front again when Agriculture Minister Gardiner, on a speaking tour, advocated in a Vancouver address an "open door" policy. Mr, Gardiner, whose speech brough no official comment here, suggested Canada could do with another 10,000,000 or 12,000,- 000 people, and that she should populate and industrialize more fully to contribute her full share to world stability. Resources Minister Glen, under whose department {immigration falls, stated in the Commons last session that an immigration po- licy was being formulated. However, an inter-department. al committee working on the pro- blem is not expected to complete its studies in time for new legis- lation to be brought down this session, Many thousands of applications to allow persons eligible to enter Canada already are in the hands of authorities and this will pro- mote a heavy flow of immigrants into this country without further lowering present bars, It is expected that some amend- ments may be made to the immi- gration Act this session respect- ing Oriental immigration. Western Members of Parlia- ment generally favor Mr, Gardi- ner's view, and Premier Manning of Alberta and Saskatchewan Treasurer C. M, Fines last night approved in principle the bring- ing in of 12,000,000 people, Four Irish Youths The land is believed to have been taken up originally in 1826 by four young Irishmen who came to Can~ ada to seek their fortune. They were Lawrence Heyden just 16 years of age, and his school fellows, John and William Warren and Callagham Holmes, After enduring the trials and tribulations of pioneer farming for about two years, the Warrens and Mr, Holmes sold out their ine terest to Mr. Heyden and opened a store a mile east of the present town of Whitby. Little is recorded of the farm's history from that time until 1869 when it was purchased by the late Edward Pascoe, father of Edgar Pascoe who has lived there all his life. Mr. Heyden had meanwhile entered the legal profession, being appointed clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in 1850. Came From England Edward Pascoe was born in Eng- land but came to Canada with his pareats at an early age and took over the farm as a young man. He died some 20 years ago and the farm has been operated by one of his three sons, Edgar Pascoe, who now plans to move to Oshawa. While the house has been re- modelled, mdst of the buildings oa the property have been there as long as the farm has been in the hands of the Pascoe family, One building of particular interest is & brick structure now tised as a woods shed. While it is not known what its original use was some have suge gested that it may have been a store at one time, Drew Takes |Wallop At Toronto Star Toronto, Jan, 10 -- (OP) -- One tario will not sign any agreemens with the federal government which involves any surrender of provincial rights, Premier Drew repeated last night when he addressed a meeting of the Women's Progressive Con- servative Association in Toronto Tigh Park, the riding he represents in the Legislature. Premier Drew said of New Bruns- wick's action in cancelling the agreement it had signed with Ote tawa that on the day New Bruns wick's decision was ann Toronto Daily Star carried a head- line reading "Drew and Duplessis Blocking Agreement." He said that Premier McNair of New Brunswick "Doesn't even belong to the same party, and what relation we had to the matter was entirely beyond me." Premier Drew continued: "The only reason we are not moving for- ward today is because of the failure of the federal government to carry on the conferences. "We are not going to reach any ultimate satisfaction by showing who was wrong, but by getting the government together, and that is the only objective of the Ontario government." India's Lepers In Dire Need Toronto, Jan, 10--(CP)--Need of care and treatment for the million lepers in India was stressed by Canon Heber Wilkinson, secretary treasurer of the Kangra Mission of the Missionary Soclety of the Church of England in Canada, speaking tb a meeting here.

Gas and Butcher Strikes | Now Plague Australians Sydney, Australia, Jan, 10 -- (CP Cable)--Sydney housewives cooked over backyard fires again today as gas supplies to 300,000 homes petered out due to resump- tion of a pre-Christmas gaswork- ers' 'strike, The strike came without warn- ing and despite an undertaking by gasworkers in privately owned Sydney plants that they would re- main at work under a controller appointed a week before Christ mas by the New South Wales gov- ernment, Premier James McKell, men. tioned prominently as the succes hor to the Duke of Gloucester as Governor General, conferred with workers' representatives but there is no indication when Australia's largest city would have gas again. Gasworkers here joined the idle ranks of Melbourne and Adelaide gasworkers who have been on strike since Dee, 12. Households in those cities have been getting only a trickle of gas for cooking and heating. Melbourne housewives are now trying to arrange coal deliveries themselves to gas plants so that volunteers may keep up produce tion which may fail altogether, The gas dispute for higher wages. and better overtime pay is one of several which has brought strikes or prospects of strikes ine volving many thousands of Ause tralian workers, At the same time Sydney is in the midst of a bute cher's strike which has kept all but about 90 of the city's 1,000 butcher shops closed eince it star ted a week ago. Butchers are protesting against wholesale meat prices which they claim are higher than the control- ° led prices at which they have to sell,
