C.P. Express Subsidiary Examined Ottawa, March 12 -- (CP) -- Ex- amination of operations of the Can- adian Pacific Railway's express sub- sidlary was due to be continued today at the Board of Traasport Commissioners' inquiry into the railway's application for higher freight rates, - Counsel for the provinces were to cross-examine C. N. Ham, traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Express Company, concerning the company's competitive transporta- tion rates, on which it seeks the same 30-per-cent increase as the parent company wants for its freight; charges, Yesterday, Mr. Ham told the board it was estimated an increase of this extent would bring the com- pany an additional $1,000,000 a year. This amount, he said, would be just about what the express firm ex- pected to lose through reduction in traffic from the 1946 volume. Without the increase, the official estimated, Canadian Pacific Express in 1947 would show a profit of $6- 729,000, compared with $7,370,000 last year It was expected, he said, that the drop in volume would be brought about by stiffer truck and air trans- Fort competition, along with a shift the Balure LA, shipments that would transfer of the express traffic to freight.

Plan Recreation Conference For May 23-25 Plans are well under way for the second provincial conference on re- creation to be held at McMaster University, Hamilton, the week-end of May 23-25 and it is expected a delegation from Oshawa will at- tend, according to George A. Fletch- er, president of the Oshawa Com- munity Recreation Association. Mr. Fletcher is also a member of the continuing committee appointed at the 1946 conference in Brantford and vice-chairman of the 1947 con- ference. ~"Recreation organizations in Osh- awa are very much interested in plans for this conference," said Mr. Fletcher. "We realize how much we can learn from others in this fleld and we welcome the opporun- ity of talking over problems, ex- program ideas and hear- ing outstanding leaders that such a conference affords." Following on the successful ini- tial recreation conference held in Brantford in 1046, decision was made to hold a second conference this year and Hamilton was select ed as the meeting place. It is ex- pected that delegates will be present from community recreational agen- cies all across the province. Assurance has been given by the planning Committee headed by E. A. Hutton of Hamilton that "pro- fessionals and amateurs" will both find common ground for discussion and mutual benefit. While out- standing leaders in recreation will address general sessions, there will be a number of round table dis- cussions planned when delegates will "get down to brass tacks" in the consideration of problems of large and small communities. Tentative plans are for the open- ing of Conference sessions on Fri- day, May 23 at 2 p.m. continuing until Sunday, May 25. BAT OUT OF SEASON Usually associated with hot nights during the summer months, a bat was killed in an alley, behind the Central Hotel, this morning by Dennis Kellar, 115 Montrave Ave. | he was not fooling, Mr. Kellar brought the bat the The Times-Gazette to show reporters Kiwanians Hear About Problems Building Estate A. Gordon Nairn, Executive Vice- President of the Life Underwriter's Guess speaker. at Tuesday's. weekly t speaker al 's im Ra of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club and members present heard an interesting and thought-provok- ing address on the matter y an estate", Winning instant appeal with his expert rendition of a couple of dia- lect stories, Gordon Nairn continue ed to hold the undivided attention of his audience for an enlightening half-hour "talk", in which he dis- cussed the problems confronting "you and the next fellow" in build- ing an estate today and distributing an estate. The speaker was introduced to the club by Kiwanian Wm. Brownlee and at the conclusion of his address, Kiwanian Bert White voiced an en- enthusiastic vote of thanks. The at- tendance of club members was aug- mented by numerous guests, Stressing that the problems aris- ing from increased taxes, such as income tax and the further handi- cap of lower rates of interest on investments, has made it much harder for a man to either build up his financial position for retire- ment or to assure a comfortable estate for his survivors, Mr. Nairn declared that insurance today ap- pears to be the only way ghe aver- age man can build such an estate and procure security for himself and his family, while still giving him- self the most possible to spend while doing that building. He stressed the need for adequate liquid funds in an estate to take care of succession duties, income tax, a possible long illness prior to death and the usual debts of an estate. "The tax and interest picture has greatly affected the problem of dis- tributing an estate to one's family and to securing retirement position for one's self," stated the speaker. He discussed the annuity princi- pal and recent legal legislature in Ontario which has made it profit- able for a man to save money and make arrangements to leave that money for the protection of his de- pendents, on a non-commutable basis, "The ideal program in insurance is the repeated desire of most men," stated Mr, Nairn and gave his own personal definition of the ideal pro- gram to be "the arrangement which enables a man to give his family the maximum protection they need, measured in terms of income, for the period of time that income wil have to be paid, purchased on the man's ability to pay for it." "Security for a man's family and his need to come to a period of re- tirement having enough to live for his full period of retired life, is one of the great social needs of the world today," declared the speaker. In 'conclusion, he paid tribute to the tremendous steps forward tak- en by insurance companies to edu- cate their salesmen and secure the best possible type, so that the pur chaser, in doing insurance business, can deal with confidence in the as- surance that insurance is being op- erated today on almost professional standards and ethics, 2 New Members Added To C.G.LT.

Members sat a half hour beyond the regular 11 o'clock adjournment in an attempt to conclude the de- dang and open the ay Jon the sds of emergency control le on which must be in force before exist- ing legislation expires March 31, A dozen speakers held the floor dur- ing the day and it was reported that there still were a few who wished to speak. Amid the flurry of speeches Wal- ter Tucker (L-Rosthern) rose to agree with the government at times and disagree at other times. As Parllamentary assistant to Veterans Minister Mackenzie he de- fended administration of the Vet- erans Land Act. As leader of the Liberal party in Saskatchewan he asked the government to go farther than 1t already had on matters af- fecting the welfare of Western far- mers. And as a private member he criticized the government's immi- gration policy and urged that it be broadened. After the House opened, Prime Minister Mackenzie King stressed the necessity of an early conclusion of the Throne Speech debate be- cause of the urgency of control legislation awaiting passage prior to March 31. Expiring on that date is the legislation under which the con- trols now are enforced.

Churchill Again Flays Government London, March 12--(CP) -- Con- servative leader Winston Churchill charged the Labor government to- day with "a crime against the Bri- tish state and people" and accused its Socialist leaders of placing party interests above those of the govern- ment. The wartime Prime Minister made ly, his most concerted attack on the government in demanding a vote of no confidence which he will pursue in the House of Commons tonight, at the end of a three-day debate on the government's economic re- covery program. '"Before they nationalized our in- dustries, they should have nation- alized themselves," Churchill de- clared. "They should have set the country before party and shown that they were Britons first and Socialists only second." Churchill declared that the gov- ernment has "divided this nation in its hour of serious need in a differ- ent way from which it has ever been divided in the many party conflicts I have witnessed in the "In less than two years, our coun- try has fallen from its proud and glorious, position in the world to the plight in which it lies today," he sald. "There is no need for a bread shortage and there was no need for a breakdown in coal. These short- ages were merely marginal and could have been provided against by foresight and prudence. "The British people today are un- dernourished." benches shouted Government Nonsense." Churchill declared that the Bri- tish pecple were less well fed than | py the people of Holland, Begium and Denmark, "who had just emerged from four years of Prussian rule."

Scugog Island Area Isolated MRS. D. HOPE Correspondent Scugog, March 11.--Snow. Snow. Everywhere. The snow banks are getting higher as the roads are be- ing opened up. The sun is doing its bit.

B. Elmore which ruled that operating a skating rink for Sunday practice of young hoc- key teams, could in some instances be deemed a "work of necessity." In court yesterday magistrate El- more's judgment quashed the case brought by the Lord's Day alliance against Icelandia rink and James Allan, its manager, charged with unlawfully leasing the rink for Sunday practice to teams of the 'Toronto Hockey League. While sportsmen viewed the judg- ment as a move towards general re- laxation toward Sunday sport in the Province, Andrew Brewin, coun- sel for the Lord's Day Alliance an- nounced the decision would be ap- pealed to the Ontario Supreme Court. "We should be able to play sports after noon Sunday and I hope eventually to see this program in To- ronto," commented Lloyd Douglas, commissioner for amateur baseball in Canada. "We are not a bit dif- ferent from or better than people in the United States. They devote their Sunday morning to worship and what they do after that is their own business. Our Sunday blue laws are outmoded and I hope some day we can take them and drop them into Toronto Bay." Magistrate Elmore told the court that section 11 of the Lord's Day Act permitted "work of necessity or mercy" on Sundays. To be decid- ed was whether lease of the rink on Sundays was a work of necessity, as contemplated by the statute, Because of the large membership and limited rink facilities in To- ronto and suburban centres "it is still impossible tosprovide one game a week for each of the teams," said magistrate Elmore in his judgment. Service of Icelandia on Sunday con- sisted of "very little work on the part of two employees," making pos- sible hourly practice for seven or eight hockey teams. Sportsmen generally plumped hard, for eventual Sunday sport, al- theugh Charlie Querrie, former operator of the Toronto St. Pats professional hockey team comment- ed: "Toronto does not need Sundav sport." ' : : . Protest Closing (Continued from Page 1) yy have to complain through a Tor- onto office?" "There is no use one man crying aloud in the woods about price con- trol," Mr. Fenwick declared. He placed two proven methods of overcoming the current situation before the council: By approaching employers for higher wages or by refusing to buy high priced goods. Mabel Mayne said a buyers' strik in Detroit had brought the price of pork from $1.25 down to 90 cents a pound. There picketers were "beaten up" she said -- "something that we don't know much about." "I don't understand it" continued Mrs. Mayne, "But people just don't show the fight like they did back in 1937." Mr. Fenwick urged Labor Council members to flood their member of parliament and the local newspaper offices with letters to the editor relative to the extreme economic condition the worker now faces. "That's how psychology works -- even if you the workers write them it will make someone sit up and take note . , . we've never used these channels before here, so I say get busy and write your member of parliament and The Times-Gazette between now and Thursday." "Why should we cry about price controls when we don't use the channels open to us to protest," continued Mr. Fenwick. "It is the unorganized mass which is suffer- ing -- not the big industrialists. I'll wager if a carload of shortening pulled in here tomorrow there'd be a line-up a mile long waiting to buy it; yet we squawk about prices -- and do nothing." Another important item on last night's agenda was a resolution to be presented to the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce regarding wages paid by firms wishing to locate in this community. The resolution de- manded a scale comparable to other basic industries here. "We don't want sweat shop wages in Oshawa," was Mr. Fenwick's comment on the matter after a la- bor councillor had told of a worker in this district who was receiving 35 cents an hour. . Resolution to Chamber Another important item was a resolution to be sent the Dominion Government regarding the old age pension, It demanded a raise of pension to $50 a month and a re- duction in age limit from 70 to 65 years, "I think it is time we got down to brass tacks and saw this thing through," said Mrs. Mayne. She told of an old gentlemen she knew who had received the old age pension before the war but who now was getting $4.50 a month, His son was killed in World War II and I's wife was trying to get along on the gratuities that were her son's. Meanwhile the two were faced with the cost of upkeep of a home --rent, fuel, food and clothing. 12 Motions Carried Here are the motions carried at last night's meeting: 1. To give $10. to the Oshawa Community Recreation Association to help in its work and urge our affiliates also to make contributions for that purpose. 4 2. To give $10. to the strike fund of District No. 26, United Mine Workers of America, Nova Scotia. 3. To urge the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to request the Do- minion government to reduce prices on goods at least by 10 per cent. 4. To ask the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to obtain assurance from firms wishing to locate in the city that they will pay a fair wage to their employees and in any case no less than the going rate in the community. 5. To buy a $5 certificate in the proposed Daily Tribune Foundation Fund 6. To give District No. 26, UMWA, five minutes of our time on our ra- dio program on March 13 so the striking miners 'can bring their case before the public of Ontario and Durham counties. 7. To endorse the resolution of the striking deep-sea fishermen of Nova Scotia urging the government to take steps to compel the master fishermen to recognize the strikers' union, 8. To invite Bros. W. E. Noble and W. F. Rutherford to join our radio speaking staff as both have good radio voices, Any delegate of Council who thinks he has a suit- able voice and wants to help in broadcasting our program is invited to get an audition at CKDO and if his voice is suitable we will place him on our string of speakers. 9. To ask the Dominion govern- ment to raise the old age pensions to $50 monthly and reduce the age from 70 to 65 years and eliminate the means test. v 10. To ask our affiliates to seek an arrangement with their respective managements for an annual TB X- ray survey of all employees in their respective industries, 11. To protest the decision of the government to close the Oshawa office of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board at the end of this month in view of the work in the field of price control which is still to be done. 12. To authorize Bro. Fenwick to attend the meeting of the public relations department of the Can- adian Congress of Labor in Ottawa on Thursday, March 13 and that at the same time he act as our dele gate when the CCL meets the gov- ernment the next day and submits its legislative proposals to the King cabinet, v Libel Case (Continued from Page 1) need for the plaintiff to prove mal- ice. The law presumes malice is the mere act of the defendant publish- ing the matter complained of. The state of mind of the publisher of the matter is immaterial, except where the occasion is privileged and except when the plaintiff has to prove malice." Where malice had to be proved it was necessary to prove the pub- lisher mad a direct motive, some spite or ill-will, " +. . libel does not rest on the intention of the publisher, but on the effect of the words used and on their meaning. Whether the words Jury to decide." - - used are capable of an innocent | or defamatory meaning is for the Toronto, March 12.--(CP)-- As- surance came from Provincial Treasurer Frost here that cities, towns and villages in Ontario will receive provincial help in their road building and road maintenance pro- grams. In his budget address tp the On- tario Legislature, Mr, Frost out- lined the grant system to be made effective by legislation to be intro- duced later in the session. Southern Ontario towns and vil- lages--those in counties-- will re- celve g subsidy of 50 per cent of their road expenditure provided that the maximum subsidy shall not exceed an amount equal to their county road levy for the year. All cities and towns and villages in Northern Ontario are to get 50 per cent of their road costs, but not more than an amount equal to one mill on their general assessment. Thus the maximum grant for a city with $20,000,000 assessment be $20,000. Cost of this would be $2,729,481. In addition, Mr, Prost gave as- surance that the one-mill subsidy to municipalities, inaugurated several years ago, would be continued at a cost of $3,250,000, Another piece of municipal inter- est news was the announcement that the government would contri- bute 25 per cent of the cost of building county homes for the aged.
