Severe Flooding Not Anticipated So long as present weather condl- tions prevail with thaws bit-at-a- time, there will not be much danger of severe flooding of city streets and residential basements this spring was the consensus of City Engineer W. T. Demsey this morning. There have been no basement floodings reported to the city engi- neer's department yet and the city yard office termed the condition of city streets now as "fair", That there is a possibility that some basements will be flooded was not Senied, however, Comme on a police order that householders keep their side- walks shoveled off, Mr. Demsey said it was an excellent idea, but some are doomed to disappointment when walks between banks of snow be- come covered with water, - Study Market (Continued from Page 1) the war ravaged sections, but in taking food off the land at the soupce.

KENNETE FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, March 9 -- The regular monthly meeting of the Willing Workers was held in' the school auditorium on Wednesday evening, with a good number present. After a word of welcome to all by the president, Mrs. W. A. Fleming, the worship service commenced with the singing of "Will Your Anchor Hold". The scripture was read by Mrs, Albert Rundle, and a short talk in keeping with the theme "Women of the Bible" was given by Mrs. R. J. Luke, In her talk, Mrs. Luke likened the women of Harmony to the wo- men of Bible days. She compared the village of Samaria, to our own community and pointed out that each community has its own "Marys" and "Marthas'--those wo- men who quietly and unselfishly carry on the work of their master. We are his disciples -- there is something for us all to do. She concluded her remarks with these verses: "Be Your Best" If you can't be the pine on the top of the hill, Be a shrub in the valley, but be, The best little shrub by the side of the rill, Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush, be a bit of . the grass, And some highway happier make, If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass, But the livelie:: bass in the lake. We can't "all be captains -- some must be crew, There's something for all of us here, There's work to be done, and we all must do, Our part, in a way that's sincere, If you can't be a highway, then just 'be a trail, If you can't be the moon, be a star, For it isn't by size that we win or we: fail, Be the best of whatever you are. A second number -- "Brighten the Corner Where You Are" was sung, with Mrs, Frank Michael at the plano. This concluded the de- votional period. New Cub Pack After the regular reports had been read, a report on the newly formed 12th Harmony Cub Pack, was given by Mrs, Clarence Green- tree. Mrs. Greentree reported that great interest in "Cubs" was being shown by the boys, with a total of 32 boys enrolled at present. Some equipment had been purchased and the "pack" was well established. With Camp Samac available for camping this year, it will not be necessary in the future for Associa- "| tions to pay the one dollar fee for each boy attending the Camp. Motions were put through at this point in the meeting as follows: Mrs. Clarence Greentree was named Chairman of the group com- mittee in charge of the 12th Har- mony Cub Pack. A. BE. Maycock was named secre- tary and Mrs. W. J. Wheeler treas- urer. Some discussion followed in con- nection with forming a C.GILT. group, and it was suggested that Mrs. Lloyd Currell be invited to speak on this subject at the next meeting. A decision was made that in fu- ture, meetings be held in the school, rather than in homes, owing to the increased membership. At the conclusion of the business a program consisting of two duets --"Hiawatha's Melody of Love" and "Missouri Waltz" by Miss Aletha Crawford and Miss Allie Vickers, accompanied on the piano by Miss Ruth Noble were much enjoyed. A reading 'Grumbling" was given by Mrs, Charles King, and the "Miz- pah" Benediction brought the meet- ing to a close. Lunch was served and a social half-hour spent together. Enjoy C.R.A. Carnival Those from this community at- tending the Carnival sponsored by the C.R.A. in the Arena last Friday evening have nothing but praise for those responsible for arranging such an event. It was the kids' night for sure, but it's a toss up as to who enjoyed the evening's activities most -- grown-ups or kids, Perhaps the highlight of the eve- ning was the hockey match between pupils and teachers representing the different schools. The referee and his bride caused much laughter as did the antics of the men goal- tenders in turning the nets around, and in once instance having two goalies instead of one. Ome teach- er, thinking he was playing ball in- stead of hockey, picked up the puck and threw it into the net. All in all it was good sport and a most enjoyable evening and Har- mony pupils made themselves known with Joan Patterson carry- ing off 1st prize as a C tmas Package in the most unique class in the costume events, and Joyce Smith and Joyce Huxtable winning honors in two races. . A total of 101 were at Sunday Bchool today, with the Intermediate Boys' Class aggin the Banner Class for highest attendance. Keep in mind the "Sugar Foot Minstrels" put on by the Corinthian Players in Harmony School next Wednesday evening, March 12. We here that this show is well worth seeing, and is being sponsored by the Willing Workers, Mrs. R. J. Luke, and sister, Mrs. Howard Stacey, spent the week-end in the city with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. August Geisberger left last week for a month's holiday In their native homeland. We wish them a safe and enjoyable trip. CHANGE IN DIRECTORS The Christian Science Board of Directors, today announced the re- signation of W. Stuart Booth, CS. B., for eight years a member of the Board, and the appointment of Al- fred Pittman, CSB. to succeed him. As Mr. Pittman's successor as Publishers' Agent, the Trustees un- der the Will of Mary Baker Eddy announce the appointment of Hud- son C.

Formosans Ask Self Government Nanking, March 10--(AP)-- For- mosans today demanded self-govern- ment, a few hours after Chiang Kal- served with Japanese expeditionary forces in the Pacific" for prompti the Island's unrest. sig Representatives of six Formosan organizations, here to present their demands to the Chinese govern- ment, charged that 3,000.to 4,000 of their countrymen were killed in the Feb. 28 rioting. They sald Chinese troops that-day conducted a "whole- sale massacre that put to shame even Japanese cruelty." Chinese sources had reported 500 casualties. The Formosan delegation told a presg reception: "Six million For- mosans have sworn to achieve their aim of self-government and to dis possess Chen Yi from the governor- ship for our self-preservation and safeguarding our precious liberty." The Formosan delegation said it would present 32 demands to the Chinese government including im- mediate self government; severe punishment for Chinese soldiers who fired on Formosans during the Feb, 28 riot; abolition of government monopolies; compensation for vic- tims of the rioting and guarantee against similar incidents. Freight Car Order Rescinded Ottawa, March 10--(CP) -- The Transport. Department announced today withdrawal of the federal gov- ernment priority order holding box cars for shipment of export grains and domestic feeds. Rescinding of the order, issued Feb. 14, returned to the railwdys control over the apportionment of freight cars to industries and agri- culture. Transport Controller B. 8. Liberty said he had made the recommenda- tion to the Transport Department because it was felt the railways could themselves handle the distri- pution in "a fair and equitable man- ner." In a statement following the an- nouncement, he said the railways had found the order "restrictive" and, difficult to comply with while storms and blocked tracks kept their equipment tied up. The de-control measure took ef- fect late last week, but was not an- nounced until today. The Depart- ment has retained the privilege to "advise" the railways on suitable apportionment of their equipment when necessary. ' Vatican Film Attracted Large Crowd Here Parishoners of St, Gregory's Roman Catholic church last night thronged the parish hall to see movie films of the Vatican and the Toronto reception of James Cardinal McGuigan last year. While Oshawa Roman Catholics were pleased to see their own Rev, K. BE. Morrow in His Excellency's procession, they were thrilled by the voice of narrator Monsignor Sheen well known in R.C. circles. He told the Vatican's story as flashes of architecture and price- less paintings appeared in the film, An estimated 260 persons packed the hall.

In this time a fur- ther investigation will be carried out, by the police, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT "MAN" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in all churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world, {including First Church of Christ Scientist, 64 Colbourne Street East on Sunday, March 9. The Golden Text was: As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (Romans 8:14), Jerusalem Army Club Bombed Rescue workers view the devastation wrought by terrorists' bombing of the British officers' club in Jerusalem, killing 16 people and injuring many others. A truck was ran up against the barbed wire barricade and thén exploded, blowing out the front wall. Australia's Geneva Trade Conference Largest Ever Gathered Canberra, March 10--(CP)--Aus- tralia's deep interest in the April conference at Geneva on interna tional trade is shown by the fact the country will be represented by the largest delegation ever sent abroad. As an exporter whose foreign sales amounted to $700,000,000 in the last fiscal year and a country still developing industrially, Aus- tralia is vitally concerned with the outcome of the meeting at which 17 countries including Canada, will discuss the establishment of an in- ternational trade organization. Before. proceeding to Geneva, Australian delegates will take part in Commonwealth trade discussions in London this month, Effect of the Geneva talks and decisions on tariffs, such as have protected growing Australian in- dustries against. foreign competi- tion, and British Empire preference arrangements made at the Ottawa conference in 1932, has provoked discussion and debate here. Both Prime Minister J. B. Chifley and Reconstruction Minister John Dedman have explained that the line to be followed by the Austral- ian delegates will be that Australia, depending heavily on tariffs and British preference, is willing to consider tariff revisions though it intends to maintain progressive in- dustrialization with additional pro- tective tariffs and such devices as Delegation domestic subsidies as they are nec- essary. The Prime Minister has said, however, that while Australia was purincipally a primary producer until recently, she now seeks out- lets for manufactured products, must depend on world markets and may gain by reducing Australian tariffs as other countries grant tar- iff reductions on Australian goods. If the Geneva conference is suc- cessful, said Chifley, world demand for exports will remain high and stable and Australia can hope to maintain full employment and im- prove her living standard at the same time. "1f these world conferences on trade and employment fail," he added, "there appears no alterna- tive in the sphere of international trade to the anarchy and wide fluc- tuations in demand which charac- terized the years between 1919 and 1939, and from which Australia suffered greatly. "Some countries may ask for re- duction in the margins of prefer- ence accorded to members of the British Commonwealth, It is clear that Britain and Canada substan- tially agree with the United States that preferences will be progressive- ly reduced. "British countries, including Aus- tralia, agreed to take action on these lines under the arrangement for United States to give lend- lease ald during the war." (as Blast Kills One, Injures 4 Blackwell, Okla.,, March 10--(AP) --An explosion and fire at a gas company compressor station last night killed one man, injured four others and shut off service to indus- trial users in Kansas and Missouri. Officials estimated damage at more than $1,000,000. Buildings housing the booster plant, auxiliary plant, office build- ing and cooling tower were dam- aged. Explaining the blast, officials said, a gas heater at the outlet of the plant exploded. "Apparently the line gave way under the severe pres- sure and the gas was ignited by hot machinery in the plant." Mowder Case (Continued from Page 1) ed, "that there has been a definite preconceived, studied premeditated, deliberate course of conduct adopted to delay this trial." R. A. Wallace and R. Ward Allen, representing two of the co-defen- Gants in the second action, Mrs. D, McLeod and Mrs. Irene Smith, also expressed their readiness to proceed at the present time. Stating that he had some 40 wit- nesses to bring on, Mr, Roy claimed that this was "definitely preconceiv- ed" to have the case precipitated at the last days of this sitting." In g judgment, Justice Che- vrier held that there wag not suffi- cient material to justify posipone- ment, Regarding reference to there being some 50 witnesses, he sald it was immaterial to him whether there were 500. "I have no right to choose my ca- ses. When a case is on the list and is ready to proceed, I shall hear it," he said. Jury notice had been given by the plaintiff in the first action but Mr, Greer expressed his willingness to have the case tried with or without jury as the court would direct. When asked for his opinion Mr, Roy how- ever asked that it be tried by a jury, 374-pound 'Drunk' Stumps Sarnia Police Sarnia--Local police constables were stumped Wednesday, The trouble arose when.a 374.pound man, imbibing during the day, "passed out." Answering a call to a local restaurant, they found that his dead weight was too heavy to carry and that his long frame couldn't be guided through the door of the police cruiser, After a conference, the gendarmes struck a plan, They called an am- bulance, the intoxicant was wheel- ed from the restaurant in state and was taken to jail, where he was a guest for the night. Yes- terday he paid $10, Russia Competitor To Canada in Future Niagara Falls--The necessity for production at low cost of com- modities produceable by the use of our natural resources was stressed as being essential to the future stability of Canada by Dr, Charlotte Whitton, prowinent so- clal worker of Ottawa. She was sp-aking before the convention of the Ontario Horti- cultural Society here last night. It was essential that Canada learn conservation, she said, and she could picture Russian as a competitor for world markets in years to come, SEEK ATOMIC STUDIES Stockholm «(CP)~TIt is hoped to increase the number of student ine terchanges between the United States and the Scandinavian coun- tries, Scandinavian students are eager to he brouht abreast of de- velopments and to participate in atomic research, MANILLA CHILD DROWNS Lindsay, March 9---Allen Atelaar, 3-year-old son of Mr, and Mrs. W.

The jury, including six farmers, ted shortly before noon had been called and was released until tomorrow after being warned by the presiding judge, Mr. Justice Wilfrid Lazure, not - to discuss the case except among themselves. One interruption marred the brief morhing session when a young wo- man, she had the protec- tion of Prime Minister Mackenuie King and Justice Minister Isley, interrupted the proceedings and asked to be heard. She sald she did mot want the judge to be misled during the trial and stated that Dr. Boyer was in- nocent and that she could prove it. Despite orders to sit down, she con- tinued to speak until escorted from the courtroom by two constables. Dr. Boyer, last of 18 Canadians to face court charges in conse- quence of the espionage investiga- tion, is charged with conspiracy to violate the Official Secrets Act and with violating the federal measure. He has pleaded innocent. Called as Crown witnesses were Gordon Lunan, H. 8S. Gerson, J. 8. Benning and Durnford Smith, all awaiting outcome of appeals against five-year sentences, and Edward Mazerall, who already has begun serving a four-year term, 2 Men Shot In Card Game Holdup Hamilton, March 10 -- (CP) -- Victims of gun-wielding holdup men, two Hamilton men today were in hospital, one of them wounded critically as he resisted attempts to hold up a card game in a Hamilton home early Sunday. Norman Smith was shot at point- blank range by one of the bandits after he aimed a blow at the man, and Arthur Campbell was shot as he attempted to pursue the robbers on foot. A bullet was removed from Smith's spine after he had been shot through the stomach, but his condition was critical, Campbell was wounded in the leg. The two holdup men fled without taking any of the loot after they surprised 10 men playing cards early Sunday in the basement of an Edgar Avenue house. "Holst em up; we ain't kidding," one of the two young armed thugs told the party. The bandits stepped back to the door and suddenly Norman Smith aimed a blow at one of: them. Re- covering his balance, the thug fired at Norman Smith and they both fled. The men in the room ran in pur- suit and Campbell headed them. He ran to the rear of the bandit car, a shot was fired and he fell saying, "they've got me." One of the players said he recog- nized the first bandit as one who had worked at the Natiomal Steel Car plant here. He sald he had seen the man "shooting craps be- hind the jockey club" during race meets, Roza Brown (Continued from Page 1) Mrs, Brown couldn't supply a job but with her scant resources she groubstaked this hungry:prospec- tor and started him on the road which led to discovery of one of the most fabulously wealthy gold mines in the world--Lake Shore. The prospector--Harry Oakes, who was later knighted, was mur- dered in his Bahamas home in 1942, "No one knew him as well as I," Mrs, Brown was quoted as saying at the time, "Many times, alone, I have yent his passing." Attiréd in a heavy fur coat and carrying a Union Jack larger than herself. Roza was one of the first to greet the late Duke of Kent when he toared Northern Ontario. When the King and Queen sailed to Canada Roza was at the Que- bec City waterfron with the same flag, How she did it nobody knows but this legendary figure of the gold belt broke through a cordon of police to be close at hand when the boat doched. Among her most-prized collec- tions were numerous envelopes bearing the Royal Crest and she also treasured a letter from the late President Roosevelt. Many wondered at Mrs. Brown's exceptional admiration for Royal- ty. Her answer: "I have always loved Royalty. My mother told us children to respect members of the Royal Family and tbat's what I do." The fur coat she usually wore was worth $900 but the knee- high rubber boots she wore with the garment, cost $3. Whenever she moved she was surrounded by animals, She kept dogs, cats and chickens, When she attended a movie she took her dogs along and the firmest of ushers never were able to stop her, Mrs, Brown was reputed to be a wealthy woman but when news- paper men asked her the extent oy her fortune one time, she re. plied: "It's none of your busi- ness." Addicted to use of profanity, she called some of her best friends names which made. even the most broad-minded blush. Irom, Roza they considered it a compiiment, SHOT DEAD Providence, R. I., March 10--(AP) --Three men who police sald were atl to rob a Providence res- taurant were shot to death early vesterday by officers who had been tipped off in advance and were wait- body beneath the creek ice, ing for the men. 'Joined' US Army At Eight, | Boy Stayed With Unit In Europe Three Years Newhaven, Sussex, England, March 10--(AP)--An 1l.year- old boy who gave his name as Richard Lawrence, dressed in a be-ribboned uniform, told detect- ives today he "joined" a United States army unit as a mascot at the age of eight and spent the last three years travelling in Europe.

Their representatives in a Con- stituent Assembly--threatened with diszuption before its work of government can reach full strength--are drawn from the Congress party and Moslems. These developments the princes and their advisers watch from the sidelines. The British government will not hand over its authority and obli- gations concerning the states to any government of British India. Attlee said the future relations of Britain and the states can be ad- justed by agreement between them, irrespective of any third party. Britain knows the colorful prin- ces well, they come to Britain with bright gars, jewelled turbans and veiled women, Some delight in ex-- pensive racehorses, some give a- deceptive appearance of poverty and some seem to have ho other - wish than to look as like English- « men as possible, But each at home has autocra- tic power tempered only by the presence in the states of Brit- ish representatives who will step. in if mis-government becomes too - obvious, 7 The princes maintain contact - with each other through the - Chamber of Princes formed in-: 1921 and they have the assurance - they can be represented in a cen- tral government if they so desire, = If the states entéred the Con- * stituent Assembly which may take over from the British, they would insist on retaining most of: their present powers, including sovereignty, constitution, dynasty laws and boundary rights, The - central government could not in- . terfere with their internal admin- istration, Fourth Offence Brings 3 Months Norman Marsden, Port Perry, was sentenced to three months in county jail by Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs this morning, Marsden plea- ded guilty to a charge of intoxi- cation in a public place, This was the fourth charge of intoxication against Marsden, within the year, and the minimum sentence that Magistrate Ebbs could impose. Pleading to a charge of intoxi- cation, Frank Edgar, R. R. 3, Port Perry, was fined $10 and costs or ten days, It was the first charge of intoxication against Edgar. Fence Turkeys In And Save Losses It has been observed that where chickens and turkeys run on the same land the turkey losses soon become heavy. Several reasons are given in- explanation, but the most common source of trouble is the turkey disease known as blackhedd, which chickens frequently carry without much harm to themselves, says E. Van Nice, Dominion Experi~ mental Station, Scott, Sask. Turkeys running where they like are constantly being picked up by coyotes and dogs, and being killed by passing cars on the roads, In addition to these hazards, turkeys raised year after year on the same land, even when separate from chic- kens, become infested with sofl- borne diseases and internal para sites. A simple solution to all of the troubles mentioned is to raise tur- keys in large yards using land but one year at a time and returning to the same land after growing at least one crop on it. The turkeys saved and the security of the business will more than pay for the fence requir- ed. At the Experimental Station at Scott, turkeys have been successful+ ly grown in yards for 17 years, ro= tating to different yards each year. It has been found that a two-acre yard was big enough for raising 75 to 100 birds to maturity. A small portion of the land is seeded early to furnish fresh, green feed while the poults are small and the re- mainder of the yard is cultivated as necessary to control weeds, hdlf of which is seeded about June 1 and the remainder in July or early Aug- ust, depending on the season and rainfall, The seed used is two bus hels of oats and from three to five pounds of Dwarf Essex rapeseed per acre. The rape is usually not eaten until the oats are gone, but is useful for late fall pasture and re- mains green until severe frosts come in the fall. A higher fence is needed if tur- keys are being produced for breed- ing purposes and have to be graded, but if growing for market the fea- thers on one wing may be clipped so that the birds cannot fly, and not sych a high fence is required. Perches for such birds may easily be modified to begin close to the ground, Turkey concentrates can be bought which, when mixed with home-grown feeds according to in- structions, will give good growth. Some specialized producers have successfully grown turkeys in bate teries or wire cages, but more ex- perimental results should be avail able belore a beginner tries that At an oratorical contest sponsor ed by the W.C.T.U, and Temper- ance Federations Post, held in the Salvation Army hall on Saturday, Dorothy McLean and Alan King won gold medals in the intermed- fate group, and Lois Stubbings and Louis Powless won silver medals in the junior group.
