Strong Social Sense Shown By New Poems Toronto -- (CP)--Dorothy Live- say, distinguished Canadian poet, has just published "Poems for People" (Ryerson), which appeared on the same date as "The Making of a Canadian" by her late father, J. F. B. Livesay, 'Many of the poems reveal a strong social consciousness, a deep concern for "child's mind maimed before he learns to run" At the same time there is a quality of elusiveness, of an 'echo captured in a phrase. Miss Livesay's familiarity with the Canadian scene and her ap- preciation of growing things, trees, water and sunshine, constitute the charm of her nature poems. A strong al note runs through the book and she speaks for today in a way that gives them interpreta- tive depth. The book is divided in- to three parts, poems of childhood, poems for people and poems as pic~ tures. Her verse is characterized by intensity of feeling and origin- ality of expression; strength and compression of style take shape in well-controlled metric forms. Winner of the Governor-Gener- al's Medal for poetry in 1944, Miss Livesay was recently awarded the Lorne Plerce Gold Medal in 1947 by thé Royal Society of Canada, the highest literary honor a Cana- dian can win. The medal was con- ferred in recognition of work of outstanding distinction through the years.

Urges Uniform Labor Act, Ottawa, June 30--(CP)--The Ca- nadian Congress of Labor said today labor's necessity of the hour was uniformity of legislation across the Dominion and charged that the new federal labor code was a failure in this respect, that in fact the uni- formity methods proposed already had "broken down." The Congress, one of Canada's two major central labor erganiza- tions which claims to speak for an estimated 325,000 Canadian workers, suggested in a 22-page brief before the industrial relations committee of the Commons that the code should be made to apply to every- thing within the jurisdiction of the Dominion Parliament. It pointed out that the recent de- | cision of, the judicial committee of the Privy Council in the Canada Temperance Act case, ruling the power to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Ca- nada no longer was restricted to cases of national emergency, would broaden the power of the Domin- ion if followed by the courts.

Lopdon, June 30 -- (CP) -- Eros' tomes back today after a war: , enforced seven-year absence to pre- "side "once . more over the swirling traffic of Piccadilly Circus. A sight Canadian servicemen flocking through the busy inter- section during the war years never saw, . the small .aluminum statue. perched atop a pedestal in the cen« tre of the six.artery heart of -the west end will be welcomed back with warm recognition by London- ers--and particularly by the flow- ers--"girls" who nightly sell their violets at the statue's base. 4 Dean of Vendors Dean of the aged coterie of ven- dors is Mrs. Emma Baker, 72, who sold her first violet in Piccadilly Circus when she was 15. Her 52- year-old daughter is another mem- ber of the little clique whose pitch is the circus. Mrs. Baker sold a few bunches of flowers in Piccadilly Circus during the war but. the old cry of "violets, lovely violets" just wasn't the same without Eros. The figure of a winged archer dis- charging his arrows in the general direction of Lower Regent Btreet has looked down on most of the big celebrations of peace-time Lon- don--' though protected by boards ings: for such big affairs as George V's jubilee and George VI's Coro. nation, It has suffered minor dam- age on several boat race nights and New Year's Eves, . Evacuated Evacuated in- a mattress-lined crate to Egham, Surrey, in October, 1939, to dodge German bombs, Eros stayed hidden recently and despite public protests to the London 'County Council -- who pleaded manpower shortagé: for the work-- | was not permitted to see the giant victory celebration of June 8, 1946. But today, his fate washed, he returns to his Piccadilly Circus post 'with an informal ceremony mark- ing the reinstatement. "Eros" -- a minor figure of Greek mythology -- isn't the statue's real name. It was designed to symbolize Shatesbury's noble qualities, "Love sending forth indiscriminately, yet with purpose, . his. missile of kind- ness." But about 5 years ago some.- body noted the likeness to 'cupid, twisted the mythology, nicknamed the archer "Eros" and the name has stuck. Australia Nation Mrs. John Martin (Grace) of To-'| Of Elbow-Benders At Moo-Juice Bar Written for The Canadian Press By LEONE KIRKWOOD Sydney (CP,.--Australians like to say that their national pose is the bent elbow with a glass of potent liquid held in the hand. But actu- ally the glass contains milk. Unofficial estimates claim Aussies are among the most enthusiastic milk drinkers in the world. They | drink it in factories, their children { drink it at school, and the man on | the street will take a few minutes | off to dash into the bar and have a They are.encouraged to do by health departments and by the availability of milk bars. In Sydney, Australia's largest city, the 1,250,000 people are weleloek after by 5,000 registered milk bars, each of which distributes a weekly average of 21,000 gallons of milk. The bars are tucked all over the city--in theatres, in arcades, in de- partment stores and in corner groc- ery shops. Housewives can order groceries and sip milkshakes at the same time. Many .milk bars just have a counter against which the customer leans while drinking. Thus, even with the shortage of waitresses, a man can walk in, have a milkshake and walk out again in about three minutes. The bars stay open until the last theatre-goe? heads for home. But they do not constitute the social centre which Canadian and Amer- ican drugstores do. Few bars have jukeboxes or booths and the 'pro- prietors do not encourage Australian youths to linger. Sydney's first milk bar was intro- duced in 1929, 110 years to the day after Captain Cook larided in Aus- tralai. The idea spread like wild- fire and now Sydney's downtown area boasts several in every block. They are not confined to Sydney alone but appear in every city and rural town in the Commonwealth. Right now milk bars are in the enviable position of having more customers than can be catered to. The war with its accompanying shortage of farm labor partially re- duced milk supplies and recent droughts did the rest. Milk men figure the situation will not be rem- edied for several more seasons. Meanwhile, the bars offer fruit drinks to their thirsty shstomery when milk supply is short, Australian milk men claim they were the first to put milk bars on the map. The usual theory is that Australia copied the idea from Lon- don, England, but actually the re- verse is true. Milk men claim that as the United States-is the founder of the corner drugstore so Australia is the sponsor of the milk bar," vincial labor legislation, the Con- | 'Hail, Floods Damage gress submitted five methods which this might be Bran including amendments to the' Brit- | ish North America Act. There were five methods open to the Dominion to bring about this uniformity. First it could pass an act applying to all industry in the country, rely- ing on the Canada Temperance Act decision for authority. It would be the simplest and most direct method and it it was not recognized by the courts and there were alternative methods, Secondly, the Dominion could get an amendment to the B.N.A. adding "labor relations" to the enu- merated heads of section 01. Thirdly, the Dominion could get an amendment to theoB.N.A. Act under section 95 which would al- low both a nation-wide labor mini- mum and provincial experimenta- tio? above that minimum, A fourth method was that sug- gested by the late law clerk of the Senate, W. F. O'Connor; in his re- port to the Senate in 1939, suggest- ing that Parliament ask the Brit- ish Parliament to pass a B.N.A. Act interpretation act "saying the Brit- ish North America Act means what it says." The Dominion could then unquestionably go ahead and pass an act covering all the industry in the country. The fifth method would be to use section 94 of the B.N.A. Act which provides that the* Dominion may make provision for the uniformity of all or any of the laws relative to property and civil rights in the provinces other than Quebec but that no such Dominion act would be operativé until the provincial legis- lature concerned had adoptéd it, UNION ENJOYS EXCURSION Graced witn perfect weather the excursion from Oshawa to Roches- ter, N.Y, was enjoyed by over 500 | Crops on Prairies Winnipeg, June 30--(CP)--Rain- weary Manitobans, working fever- ishly to stem flood conditions which have caused untold Yamage to crops and highways throughout the province, today were faced with the added hazard of hail. Flax fields near Melita in South- western Manitoba were pelted by hail stones yesterday while else- where the unprecedented June rains showed no signs of abating.

Am din- ner table costs 78 per cent more than it did a year ago, beef and veal 62 per cent more. Other food, clothing and living costs in general also have under- gone sharp rises; trade and govern- ment figures show. Within the year many puizes zoomed to record peaks, topping the highs of the 1919-20 post-war period. Referring to meat prices, the American meat Institute said in a statement: "Ordinarily the present supply of meat would be reasonably adequate. However, an unprecedented de- mand has made the average supply level inadequate." With 1026 prices as a base aver- age of 100, the Associated Press wholesale prices index Friday was 175.64. A year ago the figure was 122.28. This represents an increase of 43.6 per cent in the year. The highest was reached in March at 184.32. All cost-of-living items included the index averaged 169 per cent above last June, with major items like food 288 per cent higher, clothing 17.3, and household furn- ishings 16.3.

Kinsmen Band (Continued from Page 1) up a Cornet Duet that took second place in the under 16 years group. Lorne Seeley, a member of the Cornet Trio that did so well, took second prize as a soloist in the 15 years and under contest. Ron Walker also got ahisecond prize when he soloed in the Cornet Contest, for those under 14 years. Austin Wiltshire placed third in the Euphonium class for those 25 years and under, Roy Langfleld another player of the big brass instrument placed third in his class, that of 16 years and under. Band Vetérans Also Win The younger members of the band did not, however, take all of the limelight, for Bill Askew a vet eran contestant from the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band won a splendid victory in the class for the monster Double Bass. Bill played one of the new Boosey Hawks in- struments which were recently ac- quired by the band. After winning first prize in this class he went on to take second prize in the Open Euphonium group, losing out for first place by only one point. Ernie Walker, the proud father of the two young Walker boys who did so well in the boys classification, came through with a third prize in the Bass class, to make it a really fine day for the Walker family. After the contest the boys were given a chicken dinner with all the trimmings, and in the near future will be presented with their medals and silver cup. When the band arrived back in Oshawa they were given a recep- tion at the Bandshell. Harold Davidson, secretary of the Kinsman Club was on hand at the reception and he remarked that their victory was the result of hours of study and practice and that the;Oshawa Kinsmen" were certainly proud 'of every. member of the Band. persons on Saturday.The excursion, which was sponsored. by Local 228, UAW, was all that cou1 be ask. ed for. London Theatreland Slump Said Just Merely Seasonal London, June 25.--(CB)--They're talking "slump" in London's thea- treland and some West End n- dits are gloomily sure the cufrent drop in business isn't just season- al, Britain's economic mood and a steep entertainment tax are blamed as well as the it "s-t00~ cold-it's-too- hot weather. . There seems nothing impresarios can do about either of these men- aces to "live theatre." Declines Start The decline began last winter, box office men report and acceler- ated during the bitter February cold spell when matinees were banned for a time to conserve fuel, and already-chilly theatres went unheated. Unusually hot weather in late May and early June -- few London theatres are air-condition- ed -- reversed the type of discom- fort. and kept ticket-sales dropping. C. B. Cochran, senior producer of large-scale musical shows, stoutly says no slump exists although he admits the cheaper seats for his current success, Sir Alan Herbert's "Bless the Bride,' are not always sold out. Cheap seats are always first affected by a recession, There is indeed a "so-called slump," argues W. A. Darlington, authoritative critic of The Daily Telegraph -- "inevitable, healthy and a cause for rejoicing . ., in fact not a slump at all but a high- ly desirable return to normal." Instances of worthy plays failing: are numerous and critical recep- tion does not seem an important factor. Sean O'Casey's imaginative "Oak Leaves and Old Lavender" was panned and lasted a fortnight. Joyce Redman -- ace ingenue of the Old Vic Company -- opened in "Angel" a sound little melodrama. The play drew huzzas from the cri- tics--and lasted 10 performances. Only Shows Set Only new shows that seem set for an indefinite run are the im- ported "Oklahoma!" and "Annie Get Your Gun." Sir Alan, Independent Member of Parliament for Oxford University as well a long-established satirist and playwright, isn't unduly wor- ried about "Bless the Bride" which is doing relatively good business; but he became a spokesman for the harassed theatrical industy by voicing an urgent suggestion that the 40-per-cent entertainment tax be slashed. ] | Hungary and Yugoslavia on which wouid greatiy cheapen the cost of transport and would make ! | connect the Aanetic with the North Sea. Such a scheme was already con- sidered in the time of the Austrian monarcily but it would now be of | far greater importance not only to Austria but also to Czechoslovakia, the one pide and Italy, Switzerland and southern Germany cn the other-- as well as to Romania and Russia for the export of their bulky pro- ducts to central Europe and the Mediterranean lands. The projected canal connecting Vienna and Trieste would by-pess the Alps and would run from Vien- na to Wiener-Neustadt,. thence in- to Hungary, down into Yugoslavia and so, by utilizing some of the Yugoslav river valleys, to Trieste. As canals are already being con- structed to connect Vienna with the Danube-Oder canal, this pro- ject: would. mean connecting: Tri- este with the Baltic Sea and the new canal would drain all the bulky and heavy loads of Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and parts of Poland to the port of Tri- este. Standing at the hub of this can- al system connecting four seas and with a great neiwork of branches linking up almost all central and southern European lands by wat- er, Vienna would have one more good reason for becoming the econ- omic capital of central Europe. A scheme has already been drawn up for the establishing of the free port of Vienna at Albern, a few miles to the southeast of Vienna on the Danube, Here an area of some 215 square miles has been set aside for the construction of docks and warehouses. The connection of the Austrian highway system with that of Italy and the completion of a new Vien- na-to-Solonika railway would make Vienna an even more important centre of overland communications, and the development of the many airfields which the Allies have es- tablished around the city would make it a still more important junction of airline routes than it was even before the war. Thus, Vienna plans to become the most modern port of the world --a port not only with waterway facilities but with air, rail and road communications connecting it with all parts of Europe--north, south, east and we:t--and making it the greatest port and economic centre of Europe. M.P.'s Hook Tactics Anger Fish Guardian Ottawa -- (CP) -- A fish story told by Patrick Ashby, Social Cre- dit member for Edmonton East has landed him in rather hot water among fish and game circles, Mr, Ashby told an Ottawa news- paper he had been fishing on the canal one day without success, so he decided to change his tactics. Sighting a fish in the water he tried to lassoo it in real western style, Failing that, he attempted to hook the fish, After several un: | successful attempts he finally land- ed it. Proud of his newly developed skill, Mr. Ashby told a reporter all about the incident and advised fel low MP.s to try it some time if the fish wouldn't nibble. Hearing the story, Wayne Rob- inson, fish and game overseer for the Ottawa district, made indign- ant protest and said Mr, Ashby's unorthodox tadétics were contrary to Ontario fish and game laws. Mr. Ashby has retracted his ad- vice to unlucky anglers but he fir- ed a parting blast at his critic by claiming the canal is under feder- al jurisdiction, and says he will ac- cept the advice of the transport minister on the matter.
