FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE: Gas Price Rise Seen April 1st Ottawa, March 14.--(CP)-- The Federal three-cent tax on gasoline and price control on both gas and tractor distillates are going by the boards come April 1 but indications are that the Canadian motorist won't pay any less when he orders "fill 'er up." In fact he will probably wind up paying more through retail price adjustments, Ontario, Quebec, British Colum- bia and Saskatchewan already have signified their intention of moving into the gas tax gap left when the Dolinion moves out. And only in Saskatchewan will the motorist reap an immediate benefit -- the one-cent difference between that province's two-cent gas tax boost and cancellation of the federal three-cent levy. In Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, the provincial tax will be increased by the amount of the federal tax being withdrawn so the motorist won't see any difference in price on that score in those provinces. Other provinces have not yet dis- closed what they plan. But it was indicated that motor- ists in all provinces, and probably tractor fuel-buying' farmers too, could expect an upward trend In fuel prices with the lifting of price control, if not from the tax change- over, because of cost incrsase through abolished subsidies. In announcing the April 1 .lift- ing of the ceilings on gas and trac- tor distillates last night, the Prices Board referred to the gas tax as one factor but said future "price adjustments" would also depend on any "increased laid-down cost to refiners on imported crude oil." The Jodernl three-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline was imposed by the federal government as a war meas- ure in 1941. In more recent Do- minion-provincial conference al- most all provinces were unanimous in urging that the Dominion leave this field to them, a field that reaps most of them millions of dol- lars annually. Earnings from gasoline taxes, which now will raise for those pro- vinces which increase their levy, returned $12,388,342 to Quebec and $26,608,201 to Ontario in 1944, Both of which have eight-cent taxes. Landlord Gets $500 Damages In gn action settled at the con- clusion of the present Supreme Court Sittings in Whitby yesterday, Leslie Nugent of Blackwater, land- lord, was awarded possession of a farm on Lot 6, Concession 3 of Brock Township and $500 against the tenants, James Stanley Mar- Spring Weather Brings Out Anglers The steelhead derby in Vedder river, near Chilliwack, east of Vancouver, brings out many springtime anglers such as the one shown here, Unlike many parts of Canada, which are still covered by snowdrifts, British Columbia is enjoying weather favorable to anglers who are taking every advantage of it. . Montreal, March 14. --(CP)--The Montreal Star said here "it was learned on good authority that "be- cause of the failure of Montreal constables to gather the proper evidence, the city can expect to lost up to 75 per cent of its 1,200 cases pending against Witnesses of Je- hovah in Recorder's Court, The charges against the Witnes- ses are they distributed pamph- lets without first obtaining permits from the city as required by muni- cipal law. The pile-up resulted from unsuccessful attempts by counsel for the Witnesses to obtain Cops Failed To Gather 'Witnesses' May Lose Most Cases Evidence; a Superior court Culing that ad- herents to the sect are ministers of religion and consequently not bound by the city by-law requiring permits. The Star said that in preparation of many of the cases it has been revealed that constables, answering calls to go to addresses where the Witnesses were distributing cir- culars, "simply arrested the sect members on the street because they carried some literature, not even bothering to inquire in the district whether the proof of peddling and distribution could be made." quis and James Keith Marquis. A. W. S. Greer, K.C, acted for the praintiff and W. G, Greig for the defendants. Damages were for breach of the terms of the lease, the plaintiff claiming that the farm had not been properly tilled and looked af- ter and that certain timber had been felled. Amputate Leg So 13-Year-Old Girl May Walk Springflied, Mass., March 14.--(C P) -- Thirteen-year-old Joan Marie Stumpek's right leg has been am- putated--at her own request-- so she can "get around" like other without crutches, Dr. Garry de Hough, who per- formed the operation at Shriner's Hospital, said she was "getting along fine." Joan, Marie personally made the decision to undergo amputation af- ter doctors told her that in a few months, with an artificial limb, she could discard the crutches worn since she was five. Joan, an honor student at Pitts- field Central Junior Hifh School, suffered a malignant tumor in her left leg eight years ago. She broke the leg two years ago and it has never healed. Queen's Park Tulips Poke Through Ice Toronto, March 14, -- (CP) -- Front-lawn flower beds at Queen's Park, home of the Ontario Legis- lature, are showing signs of life, tu- lips poking their heads through the ce. For Toronto some considered this a victory after a string of defeats in weather competition with Otta- wa. The:tulip beds on Ottawa's Parliament Hill are still covered by snow. Last year the Dominion Capital claimed its tulips came up first and all winter Ottawa experts have been telling Torontonians how to remove snow from the streets. King's Printer Made 3 Miscues Toronto, March 14. -- (CP) --It isn't often the King's Printer makes a mistake other than a min- or typographical error that might slip the eye of a proof reader. But when the program for the visitors' gallery of the Legislative Assemb- ly was prepared last week, three er- rors crept into the copy. Giving the population of the pro- vince, the approximate figure was shy more than one-half million. Today the programs in the gallery were distributed with corrections. The figure 3,612,059 was crossed out and 4,125,000 was in its place. Other corrections showed that R. H. Taylor, Progressive Conservative Member for Huron, originally was listed as sitting for Durham, R, P. Vivian's riding. Member for Leeds, Walter B. Reynolds, who is chair- man of the committee of the Whole House, was listed as William B. Reynolds.

Oecles *BREWING COMPANY LIMITED F143 It Doesn't Need License We aren't talking about a toy automobile. Toni Lynn Nieri, 314 years old and the world's youngest automobile driver, is driving an automobile that goes under its own power. The little Woodside, Calif., girl seems to be having a little trouble with the law as represented by Chief of Police Edward V. Wheeler, of Woodside. Actually in view of the speed of the car (nine miles an hour for five hours), plus 'he fact that Tony is not riding on regular streets or highways, the matter of a license has been waived. The motive power is derived from a rebuilt starting motor of a regular car plus a six-volt auto battery. Judge German's Damage Suit Due Next Week Cobourg, March 14. -- (CP) -- Judge J. C. M.

Delinquency Curb Plan Forwarded Kingston, March 14.--(CP)-- Di- vision of Ontario into 13 districts and appointment of a juvenile court judge for each area was sug- gested here by Ellen Mitchell of Toronto in an address to the Uni- versity Women's Club. She said she believed a system of that kind was needed to enforce provisions of the Juvenile Delinquency Act, No Unanimity Is Seen ~ Over Daylight Saving By The Canadian Press Ontario cities have not yet reach- ed unanimity either on when to change to daylight saving time this year or whether to make the change at all, a Canadian Press survey showed today. Indications are most of the cities which plan to go on fast time will move their clocks ahead an hour April 26 or 27 and the others a Jew days later. But the possibility been raised that some, consistént with their position in former years, will not take the extra hour of day- light at all. Leading off in the summer time parade 'will be Niagara Falls, Wel- land and Cornwall, all of whom have agreed upon Saturday, April 26, allowing themselves the added daylight for the whole week-end. The following day, Sudbury, St. Catharines, Oshawa, Belleville, Pe- terborough, Ottawa and Toronto move onto the new schedule, while the rest of the province, with the exception of North Bay, will carry on on standard time for an- other week. North Bay last year adopted day- light saving May 1 and has as yet shown no sign of changing the date this year. Woodstock and Kingston favored May 3 in 1946 but report a possi- bility that the date may be chang- ed this year to conform with the rest of the province, Others still have to adopt the system formally and decide when it will be introduced. in- clude Galt, Preston, Hespler, Kitch- ener, Waterloo, Stratford and Guelph. Owen Sound too, has yet to decide how to reconcile its cus- tomary observance of summer time with reluctance by adjacant Syden- ham Township to adopt it. Port Arthur and Fort William have so far not changed their minds. They are still said to prefer sticking with :the railways which, as everybody knows, will have nothing to do with meddling with the clock. Life and their timetables are complicated enough as it is.
