THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1947 \ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE "Again Dema Mayor, Reeve Meet nd Provincial-Municipal Fact-Finding Board & Renews Demands; As Community Aid Ottawa, June 5 (CP)--Mayor J. Emile Brunette of and Reeves, renewed today a call for appointment of a fact- finding board to study provincial-municipal relationships in this province. Speaking of the Association's an-® nual three-day conference, Mayor Brunette recalled that the Associa- * tion had asked the Ontario govern~ ment for a fact-finding board last year and said he still thought it advisable as "a channel by which representations on behalf of muni- cipalities may receive full consid- eration." Taxation Basis It could be used to consider "the future basis of municipal taxation in relation to proper municipal responsibilities." . The board "would offer some as- surance that municipalities are given fair consideration and that they would know to what extent their submissions would be com- plied with and, if refused, the rea- sons for such refusals." Mayor Brunette said that "inas- much as it is the function of muni- cipal governments to see that assess- ments and taxation are placed at the lowest possible rate, consistent with adequate public service, it is necessary that the revenue to muni- cipalities from sources other than direct taxation on real property be safeguarded and that possible new sources of revenue be explored." Cost S| He urged continuation of exami- nation by the Association "into the matter of how far municipalities have been engulfed in a complexity of taxation and services far from the purposes of rendering services directly and basically municipal in their scope and responsibility . . . on the present basis of sharing costs between municipal, provincial and fede governments, the basic municipal services are decreased if social services are increased." i The point had arrived where "each division of social service is a major item in municipal taxation," including indigent hospital care, grants to capital hospitalization costs, relief and child welfare. "I believe it to be the task of this association to continue to make representation to relieve munici- palities of those social service costs directly related to the over-all eco~ nomic position of the nation as a he said, a. their own right or in co-operation with neighbors under the Ontario Planning Act of 1946. These com- munities represented 75 per cent of the population of urban and sub- urban areas of Ontario. Most of their planning was concerned with traffic and parking problems. Dealing with civic consciousness, the president said "a community is no greater than the contributions made toward its progress by the mass of citizens" and wondered "if there is enough thought given by municipal governments to the for- mation of the civic character as expressed by the mass character of our citizens." Sch The Association two years ago had recommended a thorough school course in civic and civil government and he urged a further step now, suggesting creation of a system of public recognition by giving tangible awards for accomplishments by citi- zens in developing the civic good. "For students of civic perhaps scholarships could be offered and for citizens generally there could be created a medal of civic merit. Such recognition would not only extend to scholastic attainments in civicsd but to citizens who have done some act or thing of merit, without com- pensation, which makes other citi- zens more cognizant of the attain- ments in good civic citizenship." Can't Lie Dormant Looking at world movements, Mayor Brunette warned that "the democratic municipality cannot lie | dormant; it must march forward in its planning and development or the seeds of discord may well awurture and grow." "With the sound development of municipalities," he concluded, "there can be little fear of the democratic way of life tottering away."

The topic is expected to be rais- ed as members of the committee continue questioning of C. A. B. of- {ficials on recommendations, sug- gestions and charges made in a brief submitted Tuesday. On the question of freedom of speech on the air as a matter of right, and it adds: -- . The statute law of Canada pro- vides for: 1. Absolute governmental control of everything that is broadcast over the radio in Canada. 2. No right to freedom of expres- sion over radio. Every discussion, erpression of opinion, suggestion and criticism over radio in Canada is permitted only under rigid rules subject to alteration termina- tion without consultation, without compensation and without appeal. Joseph Sedgwick, general counsel for the C.B.A,, is expected to handle the questions as he did at the ear- lier sitting when he and Ralph May- bank (L--Winnipeg South Centre), chairman of the radio committee, disagreed on the question of whe- ther radio would benefit from es- tablishment of an independent con- trol body responsible only to Par- liament. Mr. ick said independent stations did not object to the com- petition from CBC stations but they felt that the CBC should not be al- lowed to control its competitors. He felt sure that an independent body would look favorable on the request of private stations that they be allowed to operate a network alongside a CBC netwrk. Revnu Minitr McCann, under whose jurisdiction the CBC falls, ex- pressed belief that the private net- work would serve only populated areas. Mr. Sedgwickk said he felt any independent radio body would make it cbligatory for a private sta- tion network to serve isolated as well as populated areas. Rev.

Mr. Macdonald is a Canadian who has served the church throughout a long ministry, dur- ing the course of which he has sat on every board of assembly except one. Last year when a committee to study the rural needs of the church was formed, he was appointed convener. Leader His leadership has been in- strumental in sending young men and young women into the ministry and into missionary work at home and abroad. Not once during his long pastorate has his congregation missed rais- ing its annual allocation for mis- sionary work. Selection of this rural pastor by the assembly was taken as an expression of gratitude to those who have served the church quietly and faithfully in humble Macdonald, minister | | for the past 22 years of the On- Dr. Joseph Wasson of Toron- to and Rev. Henry Brockville, were nominated but lost to Mr, Macdonald over- whelmingly on the first ballot. The new moderator has a son, Rev, R, D. Macdonald in the ministry of Tillsonburg. Two-hundred and twenty-two commissioners, representing 46 Presbyteries in Canada and New- foundland, comprising 173,000 communicants, 6,500 elders and 730 ministers, are in attendance at the assembly, the first in 18 years to be held in Western Ca- nada, The retiring moderator, Dr. W. G. MacLean of Winnipeg, in his opening sermon made a plea for the church of today to open the door to Christ, . " ... When Christendom 1s pervaded by the glory of the life and character of Jesus Christ, when it ig marked off a separate people with an elevation of dom- estic, social and national life, there will be few peoples in the world who will not long eagerly to live at peace and in sweet brotherhood the one with the other."

They have been taking advantage of every clear day and a good num- ber of flights have been logged. Providing that the ceiling is not low, rain itself does mot seriously hamper the tarrying on of flying operations. Visibility is curtailed slightly but the modern light plane is completely waterproofed and fly- ing 'is as comfortable as riding in an automobile. Last Sunday morning nearly 20 planes from various clubs dropped in carrying hungry passengers in quest of breakfast. These flights to Oshawa are becoming Jncressingly popular and the good food of A and Mrs. Grant Kilpatrick is be- ceming a legend throughout the clubs of southern Ontario. Among the planes were arrivals from To- ronto, Kingston and Gravenhurst. Congratulations are in order for Art Griffith, that popular local Air Cadet, who has been selected to visit. the British Isles and the Com- tinent this summer with a group of other Canadian Air Cadets who will be guests of the Royal Air Force. Art has put in many hours of flying during the past two years in the 'local club's aircraft and is known to many club members. Ed. Knox, another member who is now in the R.C.AF. took ad- vantage of his week-end leaves and continued to add flying hours to his log book by renting planes from the local club. When the final com- putation was made, he had visited eight different airports in club air- craft during the month of May and | thereby captured the monthly prize Cousens, ! of two free hours flying time. Dur- ing June another prize of free fly- ing time will be awarded to the | member flying the greatest number {of hours during the month. The fine weather of the past few days nas given them a good start and all club aircraft have been kept busy during the long daylight evening hours. Many members and friends. are contemplating a trip to Trenton airport on June 14 to look over the R.CAF. station which has been declared as an Open House by the Commanding Officer. No doubt this will prove a very worth while trip because Trenton is one of the few permanertt Air Force stations in this section of the country and has all the equipment and material be- ing produced and developed since the war for modern flying. Try a Classified ad in The Times-Gazette for quicls results, Italy's Black Mart Is Feeling Sting Of Police Drive Milan, Italy, June 5 (Reuters)--War on the black market seems to have started in earnest in Italy. - It now is being waged with spirited zest and apparently some initial success. The decision to attack its "point of least resistance'"-- supply lines--was taken when 1itg became abundantly clear difficult and often mposible it was to get at the primary sour- ces--producers themselves and hoarders. . Control posts. have been esta- blished at all the stragetic ap- proaches of large towns, railroad stations are guarded, while Well organic ty. well-armed flying police uads patrol the roads, stopping all vehicles, in- cluding private cars, taxis and even bicycles that happen to car- ry a bag or a parcel on the hand- lebar. Loads and parcels are in- spected and the origin and desti- nation of the goods are checked. Policemen no longer ' confine themselves to perfunctory inspet= tions. They carefully and thor- oughly sarch each truck, wagon. and cart they meet, with the res- ult that black marketeer. are finding it more and more diffi- cult to pull their tricks off. Smugglers of foodstuffs act exactly as if they were engaged how | in a war operation, showing both skill and ingenuity. They have their own intelligence agents all over the country, whose job it is to keep their principals informed about the movements of police patrols, But a big question mark still hangs over the struggle--will the law ever succeed in crushing out of existence tliese all-perva- sive nation-wide, illegal activi- ties? In a country where practi- cally everybody is dependent on the black market for his or her food, where rationing is almost non-existent, to assume that the law will be victorious over the black market is, to say the least, optimistic.
