Bucket Brigade Organized by Teacher Saves East Whitby School 'Dahlia' Died Port Dix, N.J., Feb. 7 (AP)-- United States army records show Cpl. Joseph Dumais was in Fort Dix at the time Elizabeth (Black Dahlia) Short's nude and mutilated body was found on a vacant lot in Angeles. Public relations officer Maj. Cor- nelius T. Morris made that an- nouncement after Dumais had been questioned in connection with the slaying, but the officer declared the army records might be in error. Morris quoted Dumais es saying he had a date with Miss Short in California Jan. 9 but that his mind "planked out" at the time and he reniembered nothing until he found himself in a New York railway sta- tion. The public relations officer said Fort Dix records showed Dumais ar- rived here from furlough either the night of Jan. 10 or the morning of Jan, 11 and had not been absent Miss Short's body was found Jan, 15, and.police said then she seemed to have been dead only a few hours. . Morris said army investigators still were questioning the soldier while Los Angeles police studied hotel registers in an effort to trace his movements there. The army officer related that the questioning of Dumais in the "Black Dahlia" slaying began when the soldier dropped a remark about the killing while he was being ex- amined in connection with another soldier's complaint that Dumais had failed to pay him some money owed.

Call In A Psychiatrist Regina, Feb, 7.--(CP)-- If bossy is hard to handle, you had better call in a psychiatrist. Prof. W. H. Peterson, professor of dairy husbandry, University Farm, St. Paul, Minn, told dele- gates to the 39th annual convention of the Saskatchewan Dairy Associa< tion here that there were meurotic cows who suffered from frustration complexes. These were the most troublesome to handle. "Be determined to boss the cow," was Professor Peterson's advice. The psychiatrist cases were to be found in the "middle social strata" of the herd which had a form of social life all of its own. It was headed by a "queen" who won her way to the top by force or per- suasion, The lowest in the social strata was the cow with no ambition which had to be prodded into the milking stall, "Every counterpaft of human be- haviour can be found in a cow so you've got to meet themi half way," he said. "A cow cannot be won ov- er with ill treatment--it has too much self-respect to be beaten into submission." When a cow was well adjusted to its surroundings it could produce well and if maladjusted is would be a poor producer. "Petting can go too far," the pro- fessor said, warning that some ani- mals receive too much attention at boys' and girls' farms and clubs and should be handled only by one per- son.

G. R. Pearkes, VC, Progressive Conservatice Member for Nanaimo in British Columbia. The 58-year-old general, a vet- eran of the last two conflicts, en- livened the slowly-moving Throne Speech debate with a vigorous at- tack on the government's plans to reduce the strength of the peace- time forces, plans which he sald would delay by six months the placing of an active division in the field. "I suggest," he added, "that a scheme for the defence of this country which pictures the first da; division being ready to take "the field six months after the outbreak of war is of as much value as would be a system of calling for the an- nual muster of rangers and fence- posts as we had 100 years ago." Plans based on the old formations of the First World war never would be effective enough to meet today's problems. In the Senate, Senator W. D. Eul- er (L -- Ontario) introduced a bill, similar to one voted down last ses- sion, to provide for the manufacture and sale in Canada of margarine products as a substitute for butter. But in the Commons, the spot- light of the debate was on Gen. Pearkes a8 he urged the formation of a defence force which would be able to withstand the first thrust of an outside attack and would be capable of joining other United Na- tions forces in defending another country. He touched on the relationship between Canada's defence and for- eign policies with these words: "I believe that if we had foreseen, as it might have been foreseen, the effect which the withdrawal of the Canadian occupational forces in Europe would have on the influence which Canada has today in decid- ing and helping in the reconstruc- tion of Europe and in the prepara- tion of peace treaties, we might not have withdrawn that force so has- tily without the consent of Parlia- ment, embarrassing those other countries who were maintaining forces... "We said that it was administra- tive difficulties which made it im- possible for us to maintain our oc- cupational force in Europe. I sug- gest that if we are to be a world power our military officials have got to learn to overcome administrative difficulties." While he commended the govera- ment for the amalgamation of the armed services under one minister, he said he felt "all the substance has been taken out of our defence force and that today there remains only the rubble of the overhead." The "stupid and boastful" state- ments made a year ago about the size of the armed force had been "debunked." No one could deny that under present plans it would take at least six moaths for the first division to be ready for the field in the event of war and 12 months for the sec- ond and third divisions, The Un- ited States had not had six months to prepare after Pearl Harbor and neither had Poland. * Vet Studen Need More Time Brockville, Feb. 7 --(CP)-- Stu- dents attending the Department of Veterans' Affairs training and re- establishment institute here voted yesterday to return to their form- er eight-month syllabus on matri- culation subjects rather than con- tinue on the new six-month time- Kia Plan Box Social At Prince Albert MRS. F. E. SMITH Correspondent Prince Albert, Feb. 6 -- A com- mittee to plan for the Box Social met at the home of Mrs. Bert Fear on Wednesday evening.

A prize will be awarded for the box getting the highest bid. A debate and musical program is also planned. Mr, and Mrs. Jim Doupe were in Trent River on Monday and Tues- y. Miss Irene Bonnell, of Oshawa, spent Monday and Tuesday at her home. Mrs, Albert Harber and Mrs. Bon- nell enjoyed the Ice Follies in Tor- onto on Wednesday. Bees are really buzing around here these days even though Spring is a long way off. Mrs, Henry Collins offered her home for quilting and on Monday two Dresden Plate quilts were put on. Each afternooA a fine group of ladies plied their needles diligently for the benefit of the Women's As- sociation. { A fine turnout at the church on Monday evening did their bit in preparing the basement for the decorator. Though much has yet to be done the anticipated results will be seen in the very near future.

Traces Waterbury, Conn., Feb. 7 (AP)-- An eastern rebellion against the International Union of Mine and Smelter Workers (CIO. and its president, Reid Robinson of Butte, Mont., centred in Bridgeport and Torrington today after employees of the Bristol Brass Company, at Bristol, had formally approved se- cession of their local from the union. In a plant election supervised by three impartial observers, Bristol Aside In Special Plot Set Beautiful Diever Cemetary Since the cessation of hostilities a great deal has been heard of the loving care and attention bestowed by the people of the Netherlands upon the graves of fallen Canadian servicemen. During his visit to the Nether: lands in February of last year, Har- ry Newman of Dunbarton paid a visit to Diever to see the grave of his son, Flying Officer Richard John Newman, who was killed in the/ crash of a bomber near the community. Set Aside Plot Mr. Newman was asstred by the Burgomaster that officials would take special pride in having a plot, set aside in their beautiful ceme- tery, which would always be a constant reminder to them of what Canada had done in their libera- tion, and that the municipality would take a great deal of pleasure in seeing that the graves of the fallen Canadians were well -and properly cared for. 'The Burgomaster, who is & very able administrator and who has a large territory under his jurisdic- tion, made application to Her Maj- esty, the Queen of the Netherlands, and who by royal decree, September 3rd, 1946, did grant to the Muni- cipality of Diever an unique hone our--a Coat-of-Arms, which in it self is a work of art, and when ex- plained to one not familiar with the early history of this province, it is very interesting. Heraldry Explained The heraldry of the coat-of-arms is explained as follows: By the Royal decree of September 3rd, 1946, d coat-of-arms has been granted to the Mumicipality of Die- ver in the province of Drenthe in the Netherlands. Although Diever is one of the earliest inhabited places in the Netherlands and its history Presented to Town As the result of an application by the Burgomaster of Diever, Nether- goes back many centuries, it had never | Dutch a -arms or seal. The chosen coat-of-arms shows at a glance, that it is not one of es ago, but designed in 1045, b it contains one motif, which workers voted 311-16 yest y to be represented for collective bargain- ing purposes by their local, with the understanding that it had with- drawn from' the international union, Edward Green, president of the local, said the vote represented a "stand on the side of good CIO. trade unionism as contrasted with the unwholesome type of dealings personified by Reid Robinson and his fellow travellers." A spokesman for the Robinson forces said the vote "means nothing and settles nothing" because the ballot was "rigged in such a way as to prevent the members from voting .to stay in the union, State CIO. secretary John J.

Vegetables Galore And Cheaper, Too Vancouver, Feb. 7--(CP)-- Housewives had good news from the Canadian Fruit Wholesalers' convention here yesterday with forecasts that imported fruits and vegetables will be plentiful and cheaper. "All vegetables for ex- port to Canada will be sufficient in quantities and possibly at low- er prices than last year," sald C. B. Moore of Los Angeles. Christened In 275-Year-Old Robe The infant of J. C. H. Gibsone, former B his wife, is still too young to realize the historic er and significance ih the flowing christening robe he's wearing. Tiny David Alexander Hope Gibsone, held by his mother, wears the robe in which the famous Scottish heroine, Flora Macdonald (born 1722) was christened. This is the first time that the robe has been photographed. has only recently become well known to us. : The motifs, which together form the design of this coat-of-arms are: 1st--In the middle a post, divided into 16 pants; 2and--In the right-hand upper part an um of cromlech pottery; 3rd--In the left-hand lower part a maple leaf; ne Emin crosses all over the An explanation of each of these motifs follows: Ad 1--The post divided into 16 parts represents a "Dieversche roede", is an old longmeasure. Now a "roede" was subdivided into 14 feet, i.e., 14 feet in the whole prov- ince of Drenthe, except in the "Die- verder Dingspil", the old jurisdic- tion of which Diever was the prin- cipal town; in this jurisdiction the "roede" was subdivided into 16 feet. This would be a sufficient reason to include the "roede" in the coat- of-arms, a subsiduary reason ex- ists in the fact, that, the "roede" was mainly used for the measuring of land. Thus the "roede" will serve as a symbol of the importance of Diever in olden times and at the same time draw attention to the an character of the village. Ad 2--What is an um of crom- lech pottery? For this we first have to know what a cromlech is. Well, a crom- lech is a prehistoric structure, con- sisting of one or two large rough stones laid horizontally on upright ones, used as a place of burial. These stones up to 50 tons in weight have been left behind dur- ing the ice-age. They were carried from Northern Europe by tHe ice. When the temperature rose and the ice melted away, they were left in the fields and our prehistoric an- cestors used them to build their tombs. How they did this with only their physical strength will probably remain one of the un- solved riddles of history. A cromlech was & mass-grave. Sometimes the bodies were buried underneath these stones, usually in a sitting position, sometimes the bodies vere burnt, and the ashes put in an um, which was buried there, In Western Drenthe these wns were of a shape as shown in the coat-of-arms. Similar ones have been found under the crom- lech in Iilever made of a very rough earthenware. These prehis- toric times are also symbolized in the new coat-of-arms. : Ad. 3--The maple leaf, symbol of modern history, will forever keep clear in our memory, the part play- ed by the Royal Canadian Army in the liberation of the Netherlands in general and of Diever in parti- cular. On April 8th, 1945, paratroops landed in the woods near Diever. After having made contact with the Slowed Up by Snow? they would be back next day, Frightened by what had happened and what might happen next day, try and reach Diever before Germans. Notwithstanding the many diffi. culties, for instance the repairing of a blown-up bridge, the Cana- dians managed to be there in time, Besides this there is another bond between Diever and Canada. On November 22nd, 1943, a bomber crashed near Diever. The crew, among whom were 6 Canadians, were killed. They were buried in the Diever cemetery. In most cases the bodies of fly- ing personnel buried in various places in the Netherlands have been exhumed and repuried in the cen- tral military cemetery. The graves in Diever, however, have not been touched. The airmen will rest forever in the quiet of the village churchyard. May the Maple Leaf be the symbol of the growing friendship between the Canadian parents and the inhabitants of Diever. Ad, 4--The fourth motif, the er= mine crosses, stands for the churche yard, its influence on the village life since the people's conversion to Christendom, The Diever church dates frcm the 11th or 12th cens tury. Originally it was a Roman Catholic church, but towards the end of the 16th century it was tak- en over by the Protestants. Both before and after the change-over the influence of the church has been considerable, extending far outside the present village boun- daries. Finally, 'considering the complete coat-of-arms, we see that it sym bolizes the three main characteris- tics of the village population: vis: tradition, liberty and religion. May this coat-of-arms aid the people in holding on to these quali- ties for the good of the village and its inhabitants. 'SEALTITE I the time to get a barg OSHAWA 3258W 47 QUEEN ST.
