Farm Labor Shortage 5 Forecast Toronto, May 16. -- (CP)-- With Ontario farmers' requests for help- ers exceeding by far the number of workers available, a serious short- age of farm-labor is indicated in the province for the coming season, B.

Applications for Polish war- veterans, now totalling more than 1,000, continue to pour in, he said.

Eighteen months ago the Canadian diplomatic re- presentatives in Moscow frequent. ly received special favors from Sov- iet government officials. In Doghouse Canada now shares the cellar along with Greece and Australia, highly unpopular in Moscow as a result of persistent Auslralian at- tacks on Soviet foreign policy. During my month in Moscow, on- ly a few Russians mentioned the spy trials to me and they seemed a little embarrassed about it, giving Canadian--Moscow Stock Has Hit Rock Bottom the impression they felt Russian of- ficials had been clumsy in handling this particular aspect of interna- tional espionage. Canadian and Aprous My Russian visa and exit permit from Moscow were issued without difficulty, My treatment seemed no different from that given any other foreign newspaperman and I made no bones about the fact I was a Canadian, But there were Russians who backed up discreetly when they found out I was a Canadian, rather than the American they first thought me to be. As far as I could find out, the Russians are not in the least con- cerned about Canadian military ex- periments in the Arctic. They can- not understand why the Dominion makse such a fuss about it all. They would have understood it far better if the experiments had been done secretly. Gives Cabbie $50 Honest Driver Returns Money Toronto, May 16.--(CP) -- Five minutes after he had stepped out of a Toronto taxi-cab, Dr. W. Bryant of Kirkland Lake, realized he had given the "hackie" a $50 bill in mis- take for a $2 bill and told him to keep the change. The excited delegate to the On- tario Medical Association conven- tion 'here immediately telephoned police but he should have waited and saved the nickel.

Material shortages for plant con- struction and car construction were cited as reasons for the deferrment. They cited "material shortages" and "public demand for the estab- lished line." The material shortages applied both to new plant con- struction and to car production. Construction of two plants in Cleveland, Ohio, had been contem- plated at a cost of $15,000,000. All manufacturing and assembly of the light Chevrolet had been planned for that city.

CCL to Discuss Wage Policies , Toronto, May 18. -- (CP)-- The (Canadian Congress of Labor has announced its wage co-ordinating committee, reconstituted at a meet- ing of the executive council in Montreal April 18, will meet here May 22 to discuss an ove-rall cam- paign for higher wages. Comprised of leaders of C.CL. unions, the committee will repre- sent 250,000 members of C. I. O, and national unions across Canada who are employed in practically all' of the major industries, including steel, electrictl, rubber, railroading, textiles, packing, lumbering, auto- biles, construction and gold mining. By The Canadian Press An optimistic outlook for this year's field crop prospects today re- mained the keynote among Cana- da's f: ers despite a serious threat fostered by a lingering winter which left them far behind schedule with their seeding operations. Their one cry--as shown in a coast-to-coast survey by the Ca- nadian Press--is for warm weather to safeguard Canada's No..1 indus- try with its estimated value of more than $1,900,000,000 annually. Delays Delays ranging from 10 days to five weeks are reperted throughout the country with only two provinces --British Columbia and Prince Ed- ward Island--offering no com- plaints. - But with a break in the weather, it was reported generally the worst that can happen is that harvests will be late reaching stor- age bins this fall. In the west seeding and cultiva- tion are said to be 10 to 21 days behind normal. Only 20 per cent Farmers Take Optimistic Outlook Despite Serious Seeding Delay |of wheat and 11 per cent of coarse grains' have been sown in Sas- katchewan compared with 60 per cent and 43 per cent respectively at the same time last year, while.80 per cent of wheat-seeding remains to be done in Alberta. 3 to 5 Weeks Balked by sub-normally cold wea- ther with three successive nights of frost last week and flooded lands in some areas, spring work on On- tario farms suffered delays of three to five weeks. In the Sarnia district, planting operations are said to be the latest since 1911. The pictue darkened for the province whose field crops in 1946 had a value of $232,000,000 when an official of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture described the situation as desperate. He spoke cf the possibility some farmers might turn to late crops such as corn, rye and buckwheat to make up for the expected drop in vital cereal grain-acreage. However warm weather last week-end enabled farmers to get ~ started, and later reports indicated crop prospects are not likely to be on a par with otQer years only in southwestern Ontario. Danger of injury by frost worried greenhouse operators while shortages of feed were the source of concern in sev- eral districts. Quebec Not Started Work still has not started. on Quebec's total arable land of 6,- 453,700 acres whereas 20 per cent of seeding had been completed at this time in 1946. An official of the Department of Agriculture said crop prospects remained good in spite of the late start but the har- vest will be late. Neither has any seeding started in New Brunswick whose field, veg- etable and fruit crops in 1946 were valued at $40,000,000. Prospects are considered "uncertain", a term lat- er qualified by the comment it is too early yet to offer a forecast on the 1947 harvest. Essentally the story Is the sam: in Nove Scotia where the gross in- come from agriculture for 1946 to- talle1 $45,000,000. Has Best Record DONALD M. CORNETT Son of Dr. and Mrs. A. D.

See Recount Of Harrow Liquor Vote Harrow, Ont., May 16 (Special).-- While Harrow voters succeeded in making a dent in the dry front here when the largest number of voters to turn out in the town's history approved of the establish- ment of a beer and liquor store-- the bulge wasn't big enough to carry approval for a public house license for the sale of beer to men only. - Recount Hinted Beer in a public house ran into what was almost a photo finish when the ballots were counted. 'The number of spoiled ballots and the narrow margin of eight votes required for a 60 per cent majority in favor of a public house license where beer can be sold spells the possibility of a recount. In one poll alone, it was reported that 16 ballots were cast aside be- cause the voters on those ballots had made a cross which looked like a "V" instead of an "X." 717 of 883 Vote There was a total of 883 votes on the voters® list and 717 cast their ballots--an indication that the matter was being given ample con- sideration by the voters of Harrow. Harrow has a population of 1,340 but only those over 21 and British subjects or Canadian citizens had the right to a ballot. . The anti-liquor and beer interests in the town confined their cam- paigning to four circular letters and efforts to get their people out. The wet element headed by Harold Pigeon sent a letter out telling the advantages of a partially completed hotel which they said would be soon completed if a public house license 'were made available. Rev. John A, Walker, pastor of the United Church at Harrow inti- mated that the members of his congregation and the Baptist church felt Harrow didn't need a hotel when there were some four miles away. Five Questions : Five questions were submitted to the electors. To the question: "Are you in favor of the sale of beer only under a public house license for con- sumption on licensed premises to which women are admitted?" voters cast 401 ballots yes and 295 no. The results showed that this question required but 16 votes to carry it. The lounge license required 402 yes votes, got 394 yes and 276 no. On the public house issue for men only, 398 voters were on the yea side of the column against 282 nays, creating a shortage of eight yes votes. Government stores for the sale of beer rang up 450 votes for to 243 against. The establishment of a liquor store in Harrow found 436 voters for it and only 258 who wouldn't have one. Sets Precedent It was the first time since the Ontario Liquor Control Act has been amended that five questions were submitted to the electors at one time. Those of Harrow's citizens who were willing to vote for a licensed hotel in order to have hotel ac- commodation in town felt that had the vote been on a single question of whether the voters were in favor of a hotel with a public house li- cense, the hotel vote would have carried a definite affirmative nod from the electors. A large staff of poll clerks, deputy returning officers and agents was on hand to tabulate thc total of 3,434 votes which were cast on the five questions. Harrow has been dry since 1916. A vote was taken in 1940 and failed to carry the necessary two-thirds majority.

Libel Suit Aa yesterday in the $25,000 libel suit against the Montreal Standard brought by Mr. and Mrs. William P. Young of East Chester, N.S., was dismissed by Mr. Justice W. L. Hall of the Supreme Court. The East Chester midwife and her chiropractor husband sat tight- lipped as the verdict was announc- ed after the nine-man jury had de- liberated an hour and twenty min- utes, They had brought the action be- cause of references to themselves and the Ideal Maternity Home and Sanitarium, which they operated until last summer, in the Standart last August. The references were contained in an article entitled "Traders in Fear." Mr. Justice Hall, in summing up for the jury, said the title was the closest to libel of anything in the article. But he interpreted the word "traders" as implying the peo- ple who traded with unmarried mothers-to-be "who were in fear because of their condition." Sees No Ground For Admission Of Evidence Toronto, May 16--(CP)-- Further to the judgment made by the On- tario Court of Appeal two weeks ago granting Sidney George Chambers a new trial, Mr. Justice J, A. Hogg yesterday said no authority could be found which would be ground for the admission of Crown evidence ob- Jected to by the defence. He referred to the question of ad- missibility of evidence relating to suicide attempts by Taylor who was convicted of the murder of eight- year-old Marion Rusnak at St. Catharines last December. "Nothing may be given in evidence which does not directly tend to prove or disprove of the matter in issue," said Justice Hogg, quoting from an auth- ority on criminal evidence.

Division .The policy was divided into the following sections: education, health, welfare and social security; youth, mining, lands and 'forests; tourist industry; agriculture; ems ployment and labor; highways; Hydro; Dominion-provincial relae tions; administration of justice; finance civil service; liquor; mune< icipal; and the franchise. The general policy outline furthee said that the solution of industrial strife by the adoption of profit. sharing and . co-operative manages ment plans was to be encouraged. culture The section on agriculture cover ed 22 points with support of the principle of floor price for farm products as the highlight. Other recommenation were financial ase sistance to farmers to organize into commodity groups; establishment of a marketing branch; increased agri culturfal education facilities; and amendment of legislation to dairies to carry on co-operatively. The importance of education made it necessary that a separate minister 'of education be appointed, the policy committee said. Equality also is sought in educational oppors tunity for all, as well as the ess tablishment of adequate minimum salary for teachers. Needy Students Deserving but needy students would be givén assistance and programs of cultural and adult edue cation would be instituted.
