TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 0 PAGE FIVE > WHITBY NEWS 'Refit Scow, Dredge, Tug | A small tig, the "Col. Ruther- ford", and a wartime ammunition carrier have arrived in the Whitby harbor for the Consolidated Dredg~ ing Company from Sorel, Quebec, during the past week. At the same , time, the sand sucker belonging to the company, which has spent the winter tied up in the local harbor has returned to Toronto, R. A. Brant, of Ajax, company workman, said yesterday. ; At present, workmen .are busy tearing down the ammunition car- rier to convert it into a scow, and the tug is being remodelled. When the work is completed, the tug and the scow will leave for Fort Wil- Ham. The workmen are also busy refitting another dredge belonging to the company. . The blacksmith shop of the com- pany, located only a few feet from the edge of the lake has about four inches of water on the floor, and this prevented its being used. How- er, most of the work is carried from the dredge, and bad wea- ther has not hindered the work noticeably. The best comment on the weath- er, came from one of the workmen, in the blacksmith shop, who said, "It would be all right except for the water", May Build Homes For Employees The Whitby Town Clerk, Jack Frost, told Council at last night's meeting, of a request he had re- ceived from the president of the Brunton Lumber Company, Port 'Whitby, regarding the purchase of suitable town-owned property for Council Orders Payment Of Following Accts.

Bad Weather Hinders Fisherman "The weather in the past two weeks has been so bad that it has been impossible to set the nets", Joe Stephens, well-known Port Whitby fisherman stated as he worked on his boat during the rain yesterday afternoon. Stephens has been building a new boat for the past three years, and it is now nearly completed, he said. Working in his spare time, Steph- ens has been hindered by shortages of materials, but the 40 footer, which will be christened the "Shirley 8", will soon be ready to take to the water. The boat has a 12 foot beam, and the rudder, which is made of oak weighs half a ton. In addition, it has a transom stern, and a full bow. Commenting on the height of the water in the bay, Stephens said he did noi think that it was as high as three years ago, when the water was over the dock, and the floor of his fishing shack was covered. Ger. y Bracey Near Winner At Orillia In an Ontario Secondary Schools District Meet at Orillia on Saturday afternoon, Gerald Bracey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bracey, was runner-up to the Senior Champion, winning the half-mile run, and fin- ishing second in the quarter-mile and the one-mile events.

The bride, formerly Teresa Holley, is the Roman Catholic Rectory. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holley, Whitby, and the groom is the son of Mrs. Gifford and the late Frank Allard, Port Whitby. Sulfa Drugs And The Beekeeper Many requests have been re- ceived by the Bee Division, Cen- tral Experimental Farms Service, for instructions on how to feed sulfa drugs," as a prevention or cure for 'American foulbrood. In the first place it should be remembered that the control of all bee diseases is under the ju- risdiction of the various Provin- eial Departments of Agriculture, and that each province has devel- oped its own method of control, under the administration of its Provincial Apiarist, says C. B. Gooderham, Dominion Apiarist, If any new method of control is de- veloped or advocated, permission to use such method must be ob- ined from Provincial Apiar- ist, otherwise the method as out- lined in the provincial disease act will be applied, The use of sulfa drugs for the control of American foulbrood is a new method of control, under development but not yet proven as a cfire, The Bee Division at Ot- tawa is experimenting with these drugs and during the past sum- mer obtained some highly prom- ising results, which were recent- ly published, No doubt the letters received are from beekeepers who have seen these articles but who did not read them any too care- fully. In the majority of the col- onies treated in the summer of 1946, tfie bees succeded in free- ing their broodnest of all signs of the disease, this was no assur- ance, however, that spores of the di ease did not lurk in some other part of the treated colonies, in fact, this very danger was em- phasized. It was also pointed out that the results of this work"can- not be fully assessed for at least one or two years, A clean brood- nest does not necessarily mean a clean colony, spores of the disease may be harboured in the honey and, therefore, constitute a pos- sible source of recurrence of the disease for one or more years fol- lowing treatment. All colonies treated last summer are being held for future observation, Be- cause there is yet mo assurance that the treated colonies are ab- solutely free of the disease the Division is mot yet prepared to fly CAME T0 FIND OUT IN 1847 when the Canada Life was founded, few people understood just what life insurance was. Many were opposed to it. Some thought they would be inviting the wrath of Provi- dence by insuring their lives. So lecturers were sent out to explain life insurance at public meetings. Grad- ually, as people learned of the benefits / LL Co, 458 URANCE of life insurance, the early hostility gave way to implicit confidence. Since its beginning 100 years ago, the Canada Life has issued some 800,000 policies; it has paid policy- . holders and beneficiaries, or accumu- lated for them, / millions -- $100 millions more than the premiums it has received. more than $940 CANADA LIFE COMPANY JAMES MARSHALL, District Manager W.

Any beekeeper desiring to give this new method a trial must obtain permission to do so from his Provincial Apiarist. Further- more, any such trials should be under the direct supervisoin of their Apiarists, Dairy Cattle Shipped To China A shipment of 797 head of Cana- dian dairy cattle--637 Holstein, Ayrshire and Jersey heifers in calf and 160 pure bred bulls; also 90 Yorkshire hogs, 75 sows and 15 pure bred boars, left Vancouver on April 12 aboard the 8.8. Linden- wood Victory for Shanghai, China. This shipment may prove to be the first of several such shipments in the future. The consignment of cattle was made up of 637 heifers in calf, 317 of which were Ayrshires, 160 Hol- steins and 160 Jerseys. Of the 160 pure bred bulls, 80 were Ayrshires, 40 were Holsteins and 40 were Jer- seys. The live stock is to be distri- buted on arrival at Shanghai to Chinese hospitals and agricultural colleges to be used for breeding purposes. All the boars and sows | were bought in Alberta. The cattle were bought in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia.- Of the 317 Ayrshire heifers, 175 came from Quebec, 69 from Ontario, 68 from British Columbia and five from Alberta. Forty-two of the Ayrshire bulls came from Ontario, 10 from Alberta, and 28 from British Columbia. The Holstein heifer shipment was made up of 130 from Manitoba, 25 from Quebec and five from British Columbia. Of the 40 bulls, 30 were from Ontario, 5 from Quebec, 4 from New Brunswick and 1 from Alberta. Seventy-seven of the 160 Jersey heifers came from British Columbia, 70 from Ontario and 13 from Alberta. British Columbia also provided 30 of the bulls, with eight coming from Ontario and two from Alberta. All th> cattle were tested before being shipped for bovine, tubercu- losis and blood tested. The hogs also passed rigid tests by Dominion Department of Agriculture veterin- arians. Two qualified veterinarians and 34 cattlemen are accompanying the pment, which is being made by Ten of the cattlemen are university students. The live stock will evidently be to Shanghai, as 940 tons of feed in the form of hay and grain are being carried aboard the ship. Purchase of the livestock was made for UNRRA through the Canadian Commercial Corporation, a Crown Company at a cost of $231,000, and the selection was made by an officer of the Produc- tion Service, Dominion Department Tot Agriculture.

'The Association, which represents 89 out of the 103 independent, radio stations in Canada, made these four recommendations: 1, Overhaul of radio broadcasting legitlation to establish a charter under which publicly-owned and in- dependent commercial stations can expand, prosper and serve. 2. Appointment of an independ- ent licensing and regulatory body, appointed by-.and directly respons- ible to Parliament with power to license and regulate all radio in Canada. : 3. Continuation of the OBC as a national broadcasting system with- out power to regulate its competi- 4.. Establishment of freedom of speech on the air as a matter of right. The brief said the CBC, which now controls radio in Canada, was not an independent body, but for all intents and purposes was "leg- ally in the hands of the govern- ment-of-the-day. "We think it important to draw the line of distinction between gov- ernment-of-the-day and Parlia- ment," said the brief. "The gov ernment-of-the-day consists of a Prime Minister and his Cabinet. That group attends to the govern- mental day-to-day business; it is the executive power. . . "While it represents majority opinion--sometimes only in theory due to factors in the results of vot- ing--it represents only one shade of political opinion. . . "Parliament, on the other hand, consists of all the people's elected representatives, acting on behalf of the people. Any government-of-the-day could exercise arbitrary power over the operations of all radio stations in Canada as long as existing legisla- tion remained unchanged, said the brief. There had been no over-all survey of radio legislation and regu- lation since the first act was passed to govern ship-to-ship and ship-to- shore operations. ] "It was not known that radio would everq develop beyond that stage," the brief added, "Yet the act applies with full force to today's Ask Body to Regulate All Radio in Canada very wide radio operations. Some of the situations created as a result may be humorous; but without in- tent, some of them are dangerous by the [to fi grown up haphazardly, n ete revision. The revision should made in the light of our past ex- perience and present knowledge; the revision should recognize the potentialities of radio and the essentiality of providing that it be free from interference and even from the threat of interference, while subject to necessary regula- on. "In such a revision recognition should be given to the fact that there has grown up in Canada-- not one national system of broad- casting--but two separate and com- peting systems and each should be accorded its proper and rightful place in which it can fully serve the people of Canada." .. In leading up to the recommen- dations, the brief reviewed the powers the government could exer- cise through the CBC and said that "as matters stand the government- of-the-day could constitutionally, promptly and without changing a word of present legislation, prevent expression of any opinion other than its own. "We concede that the present government has no such intention, but the danger is there." The brief said "we feel that the full implications of existing law have remained obscure because no government has so far attempted to interfere on a very large scale with freedom of speech on the air. The important point is that free- dom of speech on fhe air is not in Canada a matter" of established right. y "That it may be permitted in some measure by indulgence or grace is not good enough. It should be established as a matter of right, not a matter of 'grace.' " Radio should have the "estab- lished rights and safeguards asso- ciated with freedom of the press," but the government, by executive action and through its CBC, has "absolute control of everything broadcast over radio in Canada." It was desirable and "in the in- terest of all our people, of all politi- cal parties" that the great power of radio be removed "from even the possibility of political control and be given a charter under which it can expand, prosper and serve," the brief said. National Barley Contest Planned Announcement is made by Jchn D. MacLeod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the On- tario Department of Agriculture, of a new National Barley Contest for the year 1947, This contest is be. ing sponsored jointly by the On. tario Crop Improvement Associa- tlon, the' Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, and, for this provincec, by the Ontario Brewers Association. While the competition in Ontario was confined to a specified list of counties, it is announced, this year's competition will be open to the entire province. The winners in the Ontario competition will then have their barley entered in an inter-provincial contest with the winners frem the Province of Quebec. The prize money offered is again of a generous nature. In the re- gional competitions throughout the districts of Ontario, the prizes will be: 1st, $75; 2nd, $50; 3rd, $25; 4th to 8th, $10 each. In the provincial competition in which the regional winners will take part, the prizes will be: 1st, $150; 2nd, $100; 3rd, $75; 4th, $50; 5th, $25. For the in- ter-provincial competition, four prizes are offered, as Tollows: 1st, $250; 2nd, $150; 3rd, $100; 4th, $50. Thus the competitor who wins first place in the regional, provincial and inter-provincial contests stands to win a total of $475 in prize money. To enter the competition, each contestant must sow at least five acres to one of three approved varieties, O.A.C. 21, Montcalm, or Mensury (Uttawa 60). There will be twelve regional contests through- out the Province, with a minimum requirement of ten contestants from each region, The judging will be done on the basis of field in- spection, fall seed inspection, lab- oratory analysis for determination of grade and weight per 1,000 ker- nels and physical appearance and malting quality. To qualify for a prize the seed must be at least equal to No. 1 commercial seed grade, It is anticipated that the Regional and Provincial judging will be completed lat the Royal Winter Fair, and the Inter-Provin- cial contest in the Province of Quebec some time before January 15, 1948. ' All entries must be made before June 1, 1947, and full particulars and entry forms can be secured from local Agricultural Representa- tives or from the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture.

R.A, shipment of 800 cows to nicely but their 32 Canadian "nursemaids" were very ill, one of the volunteer herders reported in a dispatch from Shanghai, Stanely Burke, University of British Columbia student, said that most of the boys arrived much the worse for wear. "But not the cows. In spite of having four stomachs to get up- set, it seems a cow never gets sea- sick. Their 'sea legs' are per- fect." Burke's report continued: "In a 50-knot blow on the trip over, the crew was clutching for every hand-hold in sight. The cows just stood there and laugh- ed at us, "With the deck swerving at crazy angles, they stood sedately swaying back and forth, eating everything in sight. We arrived in this Chinese port to find a land of contrasts, where liquor costs $45,000 a drink, where the Amer- ican dollar rules supreme. "But Shanghai is also a city of misery for the poor. Here and there bodies of starved Chinese children lie unnoticed in the gut~ ter. And a few feet off the street, poker players light cigarettes with $500 bills; pay $25,000 for a cup of tea. yi "Living in Shanghai gives. you a wonderful sense of well-being and prosperity--if you come sup- plied with enough U.S. dollars. The Shanghai dollar used to ex- change at the rate of four to one U.S. before the Japanese inva- sion. Now the official exchange rate is 12,000 to one U.S. And of course, there is a thriving black market, "A single hotel room costs about $2,600,000 a month. But the most amazing thing is the Shanghai dice game. The floor is literally ankle-deep in $10,000 bills. Hun~ dreds of thousands of dollars change hands every few minutes. "The shipment of cattle we brought is part of the answer to this problem. The 800 head will be taken to a government exper- imental farm for further inocula= tions, then shipped to government farms and missions throughout China." 0%, + 16 Ritson Rd.
