American Champions Much local interest is centred around the appearance of the new United States Pair Champions from New York City, Miss Yvonne Sher- man and Mr. Bob Swenning. Osh- awa has never before hod the op- ty to present American ar- ig to the fact that most championships take place in the Unite States and the skaters pre- fer to stay there and practice. This year however, with the North Amer- jcan Championships being held in Ottawa at the end of March, it was possible to sign these top notch skaters to appear in Oshawa during their Canadian trip. Yvonne Sher- man and Bob Swenning are the outstanding pair skatérs available in North America today and Osh- awa is extremely lucky to have them appear here. Canadian Champions Coming Also of importance to the cast is the appearance of our own Can- adian Champions. Miss "Marnie" Brereton, 1946 Junior Pairs Cham- pion of Canada is another of the large cast who has held the coveted crown of Canadian Skating. Miss Brereton, who is as pretty as she is graceful on the'ice, is one of the most popular Canadian skaters and is in great demand all over United States as well as this country. The 1947 Men's Canadian Cham- plon, Gerard Blair, is another of the stars scheduled to appear here next week. Gerard Blair is one of the most forceful men's skaters ever to win a championship and great things are expected of him. He al- so is stopping in Oshawa on his way to Ottawa to contest the North' American Championship. He is most sought after for carnival ap- pearances due to his crowd pleas- ing manner and the tremendous amount of energy he puts into every appearance, More Comedy Still more comedy has been add- ed to the already star-studded cast in the person of Gerry Lacroix of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Formerly the star comedian with the travelling ice show "Holiday on Ice" Lacroix will do his comedy numbers here in Oshawa for the first time. All com- edy in the show will be appearing in Oshawa for the first time and therefore there is no danger of re- pitition from other years.

Arrest Orillia Juveniles Near 'Sunderland Orillia, March 9--Three Orillia juveniles are in the Children's Shelter at Oshawa following their arrest near Sunderland this mor- ning, All three are charged with car theft, A car, owned by Robert Jack- son of Atherley, was stolen be- tween 5.30 and 6 o'clock on Sun- day morning and became stalled on the road about one-half mile south of Sunderland. When aid was sought police were notified and County Constable Gus Doyle of Sunderland arrested two of the youths shortly before 10 o'clock. 4 The third youth, who had left the car when it got to Sunderland, was picked up about 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, All three of the lads are expect- ed to appear in police court at Beaverton on March 17. Provin- cial Constable William Andrews of Beaverton is in charge of the case, Money So 'Hot' It Nearly Burned London Ont, March 10--(CP)-- Although a local resident will. tes- tify she hasn't money to burn, she almost lost $150 in a moment of for- getfulness over the week-end. With | 108 the bills "burning a hole in her pocket," the woman said she stuff- ed them into a toaster for safe- keeping. Later she returned to the kitchen to make a lunch and plug- ged the toaster cord into an outlet. A puff of smoke was a quick re- minder. She grabbed the toaster inn rescued the scorched bills in e. Vancouver Cops Planning Appeal « wlicouver, March 10--(CP)--Ap- peals against demotions and dismis- * 1als In the recent police department thakeup here were formally filed Baturday by 14 former police offi- ters, who served notice that most of the affected men would fight the police commission's action in "open Jublic hearings." VARNISH GIVES TONE The secret of the tone of Stradi- rari and other old violins is believed Britain's Aim At Moscow Three-Fold Moscow, March 10--(CP)--Britain is going into the Big Four foreign ministers conference which opens here today with three basic alms on the German peace treaty--to guar- antee firm control of future Ger- man foreign exchange, to establish a federalized German state, and to achieve alliances with other big- powers for at least 50 years as pro- tection against new German aggres- sion. It is understood that Foreign Sec- retary Bevin of Britain strongly believes one of the keystones of the German peace treaty should be adequate provision for control for years to come of German foreign exchange which contributed greatly in the past to the building of the German war machine through pur- chases abroad. This would mean extensive con- trol of German foreign trade which only now is restarting on a small scale under Allied control. The conference also is likely to take up in this connection the ques- tion of hidden German foreign ex- change still held in South American countries and in Switzerland, about which little has been done. Bevin also will come out flatly for a federal Germany as opposed to centralization, which Russia backs. By a federal state Britain means something like Canada, Australia or the United States. The British Foreign Secretary be« lieves this is what the Germans want and also that it is the surest guarantee against revival of Ger- man militarism, which he feels is the greatest threat to European peace. 'The differences over this issue are likely to lead to plenty of lengthy debates and, pith all the other tick- lish problems before them, Britain is reconciled now to the reality that it is going to be possibly two or even three years before the German peace treaty can be formally signed. The treaty may be ready much sooner but establishment of a Ger- man government is required before the treaty can be signed. On the question of alliances for long-range guarantees against Ger- many, Bevin believes that it is use- less to talk in terms of 20 or 30 years and that 50 years is the mini- mum for such agreements. He is going to press for 50-year alliances on every deal he makes. Predicts Rises In Canned Food Toronto, March 10-- (CP) -- Donald M, Mounce of New Toron- to, general manager of a canning factory, said Saturday that if proposed new prices for 1947 field crops for canning were authorized by the Prices Board then canned goods prices would be bound to rise too, Mr. Mounce was referring to new prices recommended earlier in the week by the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board.

Some 50,000 natives, many mount- ed on ponies and large straw or fur hats, will greet The King Wednesday at one of the greatest "pitsos" (tribal gatherings) of all time, For the last three weeks brown- skinned sturdy Basutos have been ponies and mos of them will be encamped before the Royal arrival. At their head will be j t chieftainees 'Ntsebo Griffiths, sen- ior of the six widows of the last chief and regent for his nine-year- old son Bereng. The Royal House of the Basutos took the name of Griffiths many years ago as a compliment to a Bri- tish colonel who fought gallantly against them. The week-end visit of the Royal Family at Bloemfontein, Captain of the Orange Free State, was marked by a visit to the huge game preserve at Somerville. To reach the 30000- acre reserve The Royal Family made a 20-minute flight by a ir from Bloemfontein. During the flight back from the reserve, Princess Eli- zabeth took over the. controls of an airplane for the first time in her life. Princess Margaret, who had never flown before, also went to the control cabin of the plane but did not take over the controls. An Afrikaans-speaking leader of the local Nationalists at Bloemfon- tein said that the Royal Family made "many staunch friends" dur- ing their visit. "We liked their simplicity, we liked the way they entered into the spirit of the %brasivieis' (barbecue) without fuss or formality," he add- ed. "Maybe we didn't cheer as loud- ly as some, but that's our afrikan- der way. I think we all want them Ib return to Bloemfontein some ay." Meanwhile, it was disclosed Sun- day that Princess Elizabeth will broadcast to South Africa and the Bmpire on her 21st birthday, April Rev. H. D. Linnen Addresses Local B.LF. Meeting On Sunday, March 9, Rev. H. D. Linnen gave a splendid address to the Oshawa Branch of the British Israel World Federation (Canada). Cain was a murderer and a liar, he killed his brother and lied to his father, Satan built up his kingdom from him and his descendants. The kingdom of Babylon was built up by Nimrod who caused the woman to be worshipped and she is still wor- shipped by them being exalted above God and Christ. Herod loaned him- self to the devil and caused little children to be murdered but he didn't succeed in destroying the Christ. Likewise Hitler and Musso- lini acted under his influence. The Kingdom of God was estab- lished from Seth, coming down throten Shem, Abraham, Isaac and 1912-3 was a time of severe de- pression in Britain people were starving, After that judgment came the 1914-18 yar, In 1933 the Big Five met in London, Britain and United | States refused to return to the gold standard, the Big Three in Europe then were Moscow, Berlin and Rome. These were the headquarters of in- ternational finance. The second woe spoken of in Re- velations started in September 1939 with the war through which we passed. The judgment has been very heavy since last fall. We have had very bad weather and never in the world's record has there been such a heavy snow fall. Britain has suf- fered severely. The third woe which will follow soon will be much worse than anything we have experienced. We have to some extent returned to the gold standard through the Bretton Woods agreement. There is nothing wrong with gold. It was a symbol of power and beauty. The throne of God was etched in gold, it was used in the Ark of the Cove- nant, and Solomon's temple wag lin- ed with gold. But gold became de- based, Charging interest on loans is contrary to God's laws. There is no condemnation upon investing mon- ey in legitimate business, under the present system we must charge and pay but we seek to enlighten men about the economic system of God. When the new economic system is set up it will be started first in Bri- tain where the throne of David is and where the ark of the Covenant 35, formerly of Vancouver, who faces a forgery charge uttered at Schriber, | Ont. Martin will also be questioned in connection 'with the disappear- ance of the two men. is. God organized the Nation of Is- rael at Mount Sinai. He gave them commandments, statutes and judg- ments. They became his kingdom. After Hb organized the nation the tabernacle was brought into being. The Church did not surplant the nation Israel. There you have His two witnesses State and Church. Aaron and his seed were set aside as the priests of the Temple. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai and found the children of Israel worshipping the golden calf he broke the tables of stone, for if they had accepted what was written thereon they would have been stoned to death by other na- tions for the penalty of breaking the law was death by stoning. But Moses caused the golden calf to be destroyed and ground to powder and strewed it upon the water, He mdae the children of Israel to drink the water. So the people couldn't be judged by what was written on those plates of stone for they had not accepted them. In these days the innocent are suffering in the Isles especially. We are having to be beaten down through suffering. In this third struggle which will soon be upon us we will be brought to see that God's judgments are in the earth and upon the evil system under which we are living. The kingdom of the devil. will die the hard way. We have again raised the golden calf. We will never be called Israel again until we return to the econcmic system of God. The time has come for us to awake. New Plastics Era Foreseen Toronto, March 10--(CP) -- The plastic era that will see automobiles with permanent lustre full finishes requiring only wiping with a damp cloth, low prices baby carriages, and plastic dinghies which will not ab- sorb water is just around the cor- ner according to A. E, Byrne, man- ager of the chemical division of the Canadian General Electric Company who addressed the Royal Canadian Institute here Saturday night. The silicone group of plastics would pro- vide much of the benefits to come, he said.

C.I.O. Signs 'Model' Pact Brantford, March 10--(CP)--Offi- cials of Local 307 United Automo- bile Workers, (C.I1.0.) announce the signing, with the Crown Electrical Manufacturing here, of what they term a "model" agreement. The agreement declares that all present employees of the Company who are members of the union must remain members for the life of the agree- ment. 'The agreement provides for check- off of dues, initiations fees, and as- sessments.

Cobourg Plans Civic Arena Cobourg, March®9--The Town of Cobourg will apply for a priv- ate bill at the present session of the provincial legislature for per- mission to issue debentures to the amount of $50,000 for a memorial rink and recreation centre. Be- fore the debentures are issued, the sum of $10,000 must be pro- vided by public subscription, A committee has looked over a number of sites for the rink and preliminary inquiries have 'been made in regard to getting such materials as structural steel and metal sheeting. The committee fels that fit must be artificial ice, and it is possible that the arena will house a rink for hockey, skating and curling. A great many details re- main to be worked out but the town council and the rink com- mittee have approved the agree- ment in respect to the debenture issue. The ratepayers will later vote on the by-law, $500,000 FIRE Danville, Va., March 10--(AP)--A $500,000 fire wiped out six business establishments and damaged seven others in one city block early yester- day. evenue Sources Sale, Meal, Luxury And Entertainment Levies Are Possible Toronto, March 10 (CP)--Though the Third Session of the 22nd Ontario Legislature is only two days old and still is engaged in routine business, speculation is rife as to tax plans of the government. This tax talk arises from the Throne Speech announce- ment that "because of the refusal of the Dominion government to call another Do-#- minfon - Provincial conference," there would be no new agreement with the Dominion to replace the Wartime Tax Agreement of 1942 which expires at the end of this month, : The government gave no offi- cial indication as to what steps it would take to raise its own revenue and possibly that will not be known until Provincial Treas- urer Frost brings down his bud- get later in the session. But in op- position circles the announcement was viewed with interest. The Liberal party's policy is expected to be formulated at a caucus to- day and opposition leader Farqu- har Oliver opens the debate on the Throne Speech tomorrow. C. C.F. spokssmen say they are pre- pasted for the debate but they de- cline to define their attitude in advance, Opposition sources say that con- sidering Premier Drew's insist- ence that the province must be assured revenue of its own to in- sure its financial independence, the decision was not surprising. Before the war, Ontario's prin- cipal sources of revenue were cor- poration tax, income tax, gasoline tax, liquor permits and profits, succession duties, mining tax, mo- tor licences and timber dues, The first four became restricted after the 1942 agreement and succes- sion duties, too, fell off in the war years after the federal govern- ment entered that field. The Dominion-Provincial agree- ment of 1942 called for Ontario to suspend collection of corporation tax first imposed in 1927, to sus- pend provincial income tax inau- gurated in 1936 and to suspend collection of minor imposts in the Insurance Act, In return the prov- ince received a fixed subsidy of about $29,000,000, In addition, the Dominion guar- anteed to make up the difference if provincial gasoline tax revenue fell below $26,608,290. The Dom- inion added thre cents a gallon to the eight-cent provincial gaso- line tax as well, but will abandon this at the end of March. The Throne Speech brought speculation that Ontario might fmpose income and corporation taxes up to five per cent of feder- al taxes as provided for in the 1946 federal budget, Under this budget provision if a provincial income tax were imposed, it could be deducted by the taxpay- er from his federal income tax. Thus the Ontario taxpayer would not pay a higher income tax than a taxpayer in a province which ac- cepted the Dominion plan, The Domislon Propossls to re- place the Waritme Tax Agree- ment--which Ontario did not ac- cept--called for surrender of per- sonal, corporation and estate tax- es to the federal government in return for a guaranteed minimum annual subsidy of __-67,158,000 with higher payments determined by the province's contribution to the gross annual product in a giv- en year, The subsidy this year, for example, would have worked out to $73,969,000. A Queen's Park source said the problem facing the provincial gov- ernment now is how to raise some C.N.R. Promotion adian National Railways, with headquarters at Montreal, is an- nounced by Alistair Fraser, vice- president in charge of traffic. Mr. Pullen, formerly traffic manager, last week after more than a half- a-century of service with the Na- tional System. ..c ..e cco coo soece $74,000.000 to fill this gap in revenue. One high government source told The Canadian Press that the fact Ontario now would have to raise its own revenue "did not necessarily mean double taxation" --a duplication of ominion and provincial taxes. Moreover, some official circles oppose income and corporation taxes on the grounds that industry is just getting back on its feet after the wartime per- iod and such taxes might hinder production, consumption, on the other hand, these quarters said, cannot be too greatly discouraged by taxation. This gives rise to reports that the government will seek to raise revenue by taxation of sales, meals, luxuries, entertainment and the like. Other sources be- lieve that gasoline tax will re- main at 11 cents a gallon, giving the province the extra three cents when the federal government drops that tax, and that an added tax will be put on tobacco, Life Membership To Press Gallery Ottawa, March 10--(CP)-- P.
