"If we are to save this country the loss of many millions of dollars a year a different basis of regula- tion will be necessary. What should this basis of regulation be? We know that generally the truek is the economic carrier in the short haul field while the railway is the cheapest carrier in the long haul. This is due to the relatively high cost by the railways in terminal movements and cheap costs for road movements. The truck has the advantage in terminal movement and disadvantage in moving the traffic over the road. With this fundamental difference in ability to move traffic, as a background, it would seem that regulation design- ed toward the utilization of each transport agency in its economic field would be in order," he added. In conclusion, he urged that the railways of Canada, as the basic transportation machine, must be permitted to earn sufficient net revenues to ensure their continu- ance. The speaker was introduced by .J. H. McDiarmid, superintendent of the Oshawa Railway Company. .| Local Man Takes To Air Waves Frank Owen, popular member of the Electrical Maintenance Club, in Oshawa is now giving radio lis- teners in Durham and Ontario County something that he has been doing for a long time--story telling. Mr. Owen has for a good many years pleased his friends and ac- quaintances with his stories of travel on the seas. Frank also has presented many of his very popu- lar monologues complete with dia- lect. Appearing on the air is not a new experience for Frank. Many local residents will remember his broadcast over CFCA a number of years ago. At that time he sang for radio listeners, but since a nearly fatal accident a few years back Frank is satisfied to be part of a local choir. : His many friends in Oshawa and vicinity wish him every success in this new venture.

Ancient Egyp Process Helped Win The War Ottawa, Jan. 21, -- (CP) -- An Egyptian wax process of prevision casting first known in the time of the Pharaohs was revived to help the Allies fight the Second World War and now is aiding in construc- tion of precision parts of jet pro- pulsion engines. * The annual convention of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy got the story of the "lost wax process" today in a paper presented by N. C, McPhee and E. Davis who told of developments in precision casting at the physical metallurgy research laboratories. Egyptians in the time of the Pharaohs cast perfect statuettes and other objects in bronze with the wax process, but it was. lost except for a brief revival in medieval times. Later dentists and jewelers re-developed the method until now it has become "invaluable in indus- try and the scope of its usefulness is increasing rapidly," the paper said. Object of the process is to make voss'ble the mass production of ac- curately-dimensioned metal parts that are non-machinable, non- forgeable or of an intricate shape that is expensive to machine. "It was the use of corrosion-re- resistant, high-temperature alloys in the turbo superchargers used on high-altitude airplanes that inspire ed wartime researchers along this line. Now it is, in part, the uss of such alloys in jet propulsion en- gines that gives added keenness to the researcher." The process involves molds into which wax is poured and then.melt- ed out to give the cavity to be f with metal, Nineteenth centry ine genuity has improved on the pro- cess in the matter of the molds which originally were made of plas- ter of paris. It was found that plaster of paris would not withstand the high tem- perature at which stainless steel and similar modern alloys are melt- ed and recently it was found that pure silica sand, bonded with silica gel. made an equally perfect mold which would withstand a high tem- perature, Another modern method was to bond the silica sand with a suitab le phosphate and the paper terme ed this "the greatest single ad- vance in the whole process since ancient times, because they give Jreedom to cast any metal or al- oy."

St. Andrew's School Makes Presentations To Missionary, Pupils A presentation of money was made by the St. Andrew's Sunday | Martin School on Sunday to Mrs. R. Wilson, missionary on furlough, when the pupils received their annual attend- uke and study awards. t the close of the worship period Mrs. M. Kirkland, missionary super- intendent, introduced Mrs, Wilson, who will shortly return to her mis- sionary duties in Angola. On be- half of the members of the school, John Bingham presented Mrs. Wil- son with a gift of money with which she plans to purchase materials for Bible teaching among the natives. Mrs. Wilson thanked the school for the donation and demonstrated her methods of visual education by doing part of the story of the wo- man at the well as a project. The superintendent, C. A. Sadler, thank- ed Mrs, Wilson for her interest in the school while staying here in Oshawa and wished her success in her work in Angola. The Robert Riakes Diplomas and Seals with Ribbons were then pre- sented to the pupils of the junior, intermediate and senior grades who in the past year had attained 60 or 75 per cent of the points allowed for attendance, home study, memory work, church attendance and hav- ing a Bible at School. The superintendent congratulated those who were about to receive the awards and emphasized the neces- sity of worship and Bible knowledge in the normal development of mind, body and spirit. Rev. George Telford spoke of the red, white and blue ribbons used in tying the awards which he said were representative of sacrifice, purity and loyalty. At the close of his re- marks he presented books to those who had attained the maximum number of points, Dorothy Cooper, Dorothy McLean, Margaret Moore and Jacqueline Wright. The following 62 pupils received awards presented by Miss M. Sproule and J. G.

United Nations Make Check German Industry Berlin, Jan. 21--(CP) --In a de- tailed survey of Germany's remain- ing war potential, "back room boys" from the four allied occupation powers are checking and catalogu- ing some 900 war plants through- out Germany, : For the remainder of the year in- vestigating teams will be fanning out from Berlin, checking up on how the United States, Britain, Russia and France are carrying out the Potsdam plan to destroy Ger- man war power, A numter of the factories for in- spection are vast underground bomb proof vaults, hewn out by German- supervised gangs of foreign depor- tees and concentration camp vic- equipment are handled by the Roy- | tims. One of the great underground factories, at Ahrweiler, in the French zone, where rocket compon- ents were made, wil] be investigated as well as 36 plants, nine in each zone. Each team is to inspect a list of concerns in a zone of one of the other occupying powers. Rus- sian, American and French teams, for instance, are examining plants in the British zone The Krupp concern in the Brit- ish zone is not within the scope of the present investigation, but it is the subject of a separate four-pow- er liquidation plan on which nego- tiatioris have long been in progress. Officials are reticent about the '| course of these negotiations. Observers believe that though a final settlement has not yet been reached, discussion about Ger- many's most concentrated arms centre, with its 26 heavy units, is proceeding s:tisfactorily. Otherwise, it is thought, either the Unit:d States, Russia or Franc: would have asked for its inclusion in the present program. The job of the inspection teams is to check on the extent of liquida- tion already carried out and to de- tetmine whether the occupation powers' plan for the remainder of the work is adequate and effective. Some of the observers consider that the four-power inspection scheme designed to hasten the end of Germany's war potential, als> may help to speed the fina] break- down of the present geographical | bars to an economic and adminis- "trative unification of Germany, Would Give London, Jan. 21--(Reuters)-- Women of Malta, Britain's island fortress in the Mediterranean, will be able to vote for the first time in history if constitutional proposals made by the British government in a white paper are put into effect, The proposals, made public yesterday, are the first concrete step toward fulfillment of a prom. ise made to Malta at the end of the Second World War that re- sponsible government "within the same sphere as between 1921 and 1933" would be restored. Malta, whose constitution was suspended in 1933 and finally re- voked in 1936 following friction between Italian Catholic leaders and the British governor, has since been ruled by a governor with executive power and a coun- cil of 30. After the Second World War when Malta was awarded the George Cross for heroism during three years of aerial bombard- ment from Sicily and Italy, a na- tional assembly was set up unof- ficially to frame proposals for a new constitution, Last spring Sir Harold Mac- Michael, well-known as the nego- tiator of the Malayan Sultan's surrender of sovereignty, went to Malta as constitutional commis- sioner to submit detailed propos- als, His recommendations, based on what is understood to have been a large measure of agree- ment with the national assembly, now have been accepted by the British government. . The new constitution, now re- turned to Malta for further con-# sideration, will largely reproduce that of 1921, In the interests of security of the fortress the governor, former member of parliament Francis Campbell Dougles, will retain the power to act in "grave emer- gency." English and Maltese would be the official languages, following the precedent of 1929, instead of English and Italian, The British parliament will be called upon this Friday to vote £20,000,000 ($80,000,000) for reconstruction and rehabilitation in Malta, Canada's Flying Clubs Enjoying Growing Pains Ottawa, Jan. 21 -- (CP) -- Can- ada's flying clubs, which did a big job in training pilots during the war, are having post-war growing pains -- a convincing symptom of a strong Canadian future in the air. Generally regarded as the back- bone of any country's aviation, the clubs carried a heavy share of Brit- ish Commonwealth air training plan training and emerged from the war as the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association, under patronage of the Governor-General. Today the 25 clubs which operated 22 elementary flying training schools across the country in wartime have grown to a membership of 41. And new flying groups, largely organized by former R.C.AF. personnel are continuing to swell the membership. The Association, a- non-profit corporation whose membership con- sists of non-profit organizations, will survey its recent growth and lay plans for the future of the flying club movement in Canada at its annual meeting here Jan. 27-29 in- clusive. « It is expected, too, that discus- sions will be held with government officials aimed at fixing the peace- time relationship of the Association to the Departments of Transport and Defence and the Air Transport Board . A number of early landing fields originally developed by the clubs have blossomed into large airports now considered essential to the economy and defence of Canada. Among these are Uplands at Ot- tawa, Stephenson Field at Winni- peg, Regina Municipal Airport and Windsor Airport at Windsor, Ont. In addition to their defence value in training pilots, the clubs have long been a source of trained flying personnel for the entire aviation industry. It is estimated that 80 per cent of the pilots employed by Trans- Canada Air Lines prior to the war and during its early years received their early training at flying clubs. Many more were employed by other commercial companies and bush operators, The clubs also claim a safety rec- ord credited with "selling" aviation to the public.on a large scale. Dur- ing 1946, when more flying hours were logged than in any previous year in their history, they reported a perfect record of no fatal acci- dents. THIEF LEAVES CALLING CARD Peterborough, Jan. 21.--(CP) -- Discovery of an unemployment in- surance slip near a damaged safe in the Miller Auto Parts garage led to the arrest of Lep William Buott, 23, of Peterborough, on a charge of breaking and entering with intent to steal, police said. Buott pleaded guilty and was remanded to Jan. 27 for sentence. on CORINTHIAN LODGE No. . 61 Meets Every Thursday 8 p.m. 81% King St. West This Week: GENERAL BUSINESS INITIATION © More than 70 members of the 'Junior Church" of King Street United Church received attendance awards Sunday morning at the an- nual service held under its auspices.
