"It will only serve to accentuate the serious ills from. which the pop- ulation and industry of Scotland have so long suffered," said John Cameron for the Saltire Society, founded to foster the Scottish way of life. "Instead of being an ornament in the new Scotland it will only serve to become, at its best, a dormitory of Glasgow and, at its worst, an- other ultimate derelict Lanarkshire Opponents of the scheme forecast the new town would be occupied by people who could not afford to be Hicks if they paid an economic rent.

Oil Replaces Coal As Locomotive Fuel Wellington, N.Z., -- (CP) -- The New Zealand government is con- verting some of its larger locomo- tives to fuel oil in an attempt to restore railway timetables which have been restricted since the war owing to shortage of coal, Before the war New Zealand im- ported large quantities of coa] from Au tralia but post-war shortages of shipping, mining strikes and the greater Australian demand have held back shipments. Endeavors to obtain supplies from the United States and Canada have been only partly successful.

Ottawa Kids Itself, Burt Declaration Windsor, Feb. 3--(CP)--George Burt, Canadian director of the United Automobile Workers (C.I 0.) declared here that "govern- ment is kidding itself if it thinks it can solve the unemployment prob- lem by uprooting families." In comment on the government's proposal to transport Windsor's unemployed workers free of charge to employment elsewhere in the e! into he on is very con- cerned with this problem." Meanwhile, Frank Clark, director of social services here, said he be- lieved comparatively few of Wind- sor's 8,000 unemployed will take ad- tantage of the government offer. "Outside of single men I don't think many will find themselves in a position to accept," he said.. "Most of the married men are established here and have homes. Due to housing conditions, they found it necessary to make down payments on homes and so they have a stake in Windsor. It isn't going to be easy to move them." Red Cross Given Grant By Province Toronto, Feb. 3--(CP)--The On- tario government has to make a grant of $100,000 to the $25 a transfusion unless can provide two donors, or there is one donor the charge is. Directing the service in will be Dr. W. Stuart Stanbury, MBE, assistant national com- missioner and national director of blood transfusion servcie Canadian Red Cross Society and a | Servi further grant of $10,000 each year in aid of the Society's hospital plan, Premier Drew has announced. Uader the plan every public hos- pital in Ontario will provide free patient requiring it, thus making it unnecessary to obtain or pay for private blood donors. Most smaller centres have not had the facilities to handle blood transfusions in their hospitals, Mr. '| Drew sald. The new arrangement will improve the standard of medi- cal care by making transfusions available without delay, particularly in cases of surgical operations, burns and severe hemorrhage. The Red Cross explained it is endeavoring to provide these facili- ties on a national scale through agreements with other provinces. The Red Cross Society will furn- ish every public general hospital with materials for such transfus- fons, maintaining stores of blood and other preparations at strategic locations throughout the province with the main laboratory at To- ronto. The Central building, still to be constructed, will house all the lab- oratory staff and equipment nie- cessary to prepare blood for hos- pital distribution. Depots will be built at Ottawa and London. The new setup means a saving to patients needing transfusions. As many as 3,600 transfusions have been performed in one Toronto hospital in a year, officials said.
