THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Election On Dominion-Provincial 1 Pleasing Maj ority 'Said Aim of CBC 'ByBoard Chairman Ottawa, May 22 (CP)--A. D. Dutton, chairman of the CBC board of governors, told the Commons radio committee yesterday that in the matter of radio entertainment he did not belieye the "wants of the majority should submerge the wants of a minority." Testifying before the commit-® tee with Dr. Agustin Frigon, gen- eral manager of the CBC, Mr. Dunton said it was difficult to find out what people wanted in the way of radio entertainment. He made the statement after Thomas Reid (L-New Westmin- < ster) said some people preferred to listen to good recordings rath- er than to poor local talent. Mr. Reid felt a station should not be asked to sponsor local talent when listeners preferred record- ings. The discussion arose shortly after Mr. Dunton declared that "quite a few" private stations "disliked" having to fill promise of performance questionnaires sent out by the CBC. He said the questionnaires, in which statiora were asked to outline what they planned in the way of programs, were sent out as a result of a recommendation made .by the ra- dip committee last year. The questionnaires and a rec- ord of actual performance would be used next year by the CBC when it was recommending re- newal of licences for private sta- tions, The aim was to improve the service provided by private stat- fons to communities, Discussion in the committee al- ONCE BITTEN, TWICE-- NO MAIL Detroit, May 22-- (AP) -- De- troit's thousands of pet dogs faced a stern federal edict yes- terday.

Plenty Sugar In Storage, No Easing Ottawa, May 22 (CP).--Canadian sugar storage bins may be starting to bulge but sources in close touch with sugar administration here said last night it was no indication that sugar rationing would end soon. "In fact," one source declared, "it would be safe to say that the abandoning of sugar rationing is out of the question for a long time." The spokesman explained the bulging sugar bins by saying that Canada now was getting some of her: portion of the Cuban Sugar crop. Under the international allo- cation of sugar the actual shipments to Canada were governed by a aumber of factors and she took the sugar when she could get it and stored it for future use. Canada's international allecation of sugar will allow her an approxi- mate per capita consumption of about 80 pounds this year, about nine pounds better than last year but still 10 pounds or more below the pre-war per capita consump- tion. The world sugar situation re- mained tight, the source added. Quit Hiding Beer In Cemetery Channel Islands, May 22.--(VP) --Islanders attending dances at the unlicensed Sark town hall used to carry their beer and spirits to a tomb in the nearby cemetery, lift off the eop and hide the bottles for later use. Now this custom has ended -- abruptly. One night when the bottle-own- | ers returned and opened the tomb they were shaken out of their wits by a "horrible moan." Now Sarkese are asking for a license for drinks to be sold at dances. No one will go near the tomb--even for free liquor. Daily Times-Gazette Enjoyed in Wales That people from Oshawa appre- ciate receiving The Daily Times- Gazette even' when a long way from home is indicated by a letter received recently from Mrs, H. M. Hinton who is in Pembroke, South Wales. In writing regarding her Harry | subscription, Mrs. Hinton Suys: "I look forward to the news from Oshawa! "The Times-Gazette Is a great improvement since the 75th anni- versary and resumption of daily publication. It is also very gener- ous with so many pages of news from all over the world. Most all the dailies this side ,are just two pages and never enough to go around to all who would like one." 19 Baronetcies Open, Awaiting Rightful Heirs By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer London, May 22 --(CP)-- That bulky red-backed volume known as Debrett's "Peerage" is out again and this year it shows 19 baronet- cles "to let." Cyril Hankison, tall, austere edi- tor of the publication founded in 1675, says there may be some who do not know the title is there for the claiming. : "On the other hand," he added, "some of the rightful holders have no desire to be called 'Sir so-and-so, Others are unclaimed be- cause the heirs cannot be traced or because .the claimant cannot prove that 'all senior branches of their families have died out." He mentioned a case in point: -- A claimant to the baronetcy of power of Kilfane, Kilkenny, which has been in abeyance since the death of the Seventh Baronet in 1928, is Maj. Anthony Power, of the Leicestershire Regiment. Maj. Power is the senior known living descendant 'of the First Bar- onet but he cannot assume the title, because in the middle of the last century, Gervase Parker Power, cousin of Sir George, the last Bar- cnet, went abroad and lost touch with his family. "Even the country in\which Ger- vase Power settled is not known," Hankinson said, "though it is thought that it may have been the Argentine, "Inquiries made through the South American press have failed to trace anything concerning him, though I have received many letters, mostly in Spanish from people claiming to be descended from Mr. Power. "On investigation, they all failed to sabstantiate their claims." The Debrett editor is sometimes asked for advice in tracing heirs, Last year Sir Charles Hardinge, Fift Baronet of Lurran, Fermanagh, called to say that he did not know who was his heir. "His nearest male relative, Char- les H. Hardinge, had emigrated to Canada last century. Sir Charles remembers hearing of his death years ago and knows that he left a son and a daughter. But he has never , been able to trace their whereabouts.

It was sounded by Bona Aresnault (L-Bonaventure), who contended the whole question of Dominion-provincial relations should be "put to the peo-¢ ple" and argued that the federal proposals contained no threat to constitutional provincial rights. Mr, Arsenault was replying to J. I. Hamel (BP--St. Maurice-Lafle- che), who said the Dominion atti- ture left Ontario and Quebec only three courses--to sign agreements and surrender their autonomy in the field or direct taxation; to re- fuse an agreement and lose $50,- 000,000, at least so far as Quebec was concerned, or to seriously con- sider withdrawal from the Can- adian Confederation. His Belief Mr. Hamel also argued that the federal proposals were aimed not at 8 Dominion-wide social security but at enabling the Dominion to undertake more freely foreign com- mitments such as the last year's loan to Britain.
