SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Ss PAGE THREE --lp 5,000 More Europe's Homeless Are To Be Admitted Now > 4 48 Election Seen; Senate May Take Heavier Work Load Ottawa, July 12 (CP)--The Senate, which today stands | adjourned until Monday night, yesterday discussed a wide variety of matters ranging from redistribution of Parliament legislation to hearing Senator John T. Haig, Progressive Conservative leader, predict that a general election was a Pe certainty for the fall of 1948. Purpose of redistribution would be to bring about a change in rul- ings so that the legislative load now borne by the Lower-House Com- mons would be more evenly shared. 'The Senate, which heard Senator Wishart Robertson, government eader, call for "speedy considera- on," defeated by a vote of 23 to 6 a Progressive Conservative at- tempt to extend debate until Tues- day on a motion that would have permitted Cabinet ministers to en- ter the Uprer Chamber to initiate legislation and debate it. Swift Passage Senator Robertson said swift passage would assist in seeking agreement from the Cabinet to launch bills in the Senate, parti- cularly early in the session when the Commons time is taken up with Throne Speech debate while the Senate sits idle. Fighting for adjournment of the debate, Senator Haig said he doubt- ed it would save time because if any contentious issues were first intro- duced in the Senate, they would have to be fought all over again in the Commons. Senator J. W. deB. Farris (L-- British Columbia) argued that the change would give a chance to the Senate to do something in the Throne Speech period when many members come long distances at personal financial loss only to find no businéss on the agenda. Cabinet ministers had not wanted their bills launched in the Senate by other persons but they had appear- ed before Senate committees and defended them. Referring to C.OF. calls for abol- t @¥tion of the Chamber, he said the Senate would never frustrate laws passed by a C.CF. government if they were for the good of Canada. But if it sought to use its majority to deprive any minority, religious, political, provincial or otherwise, of its rights the Senate had powers of opposition. REVIEW PAST YEAR Members of the Oshawa Rotary Club, at their luncheon meeting on Monday, will review club activities during the past year, Rotarian W. H.

The Senate voted 23 to 6 to amend rules so as to have more government legislation initiated in the Upper House; taxation agree- ments with'the provinces were de- fended. Auto Production Over Last Week Detroit, July 11.--(AP)--Passeng- er car and truck production in the United. States and Canada this week was estimated by Ward's Au- tomotive Reports today at 91,670 units. Last week's four-day output was estimated at 63,460 vehicles. This week's output compared with 74,015 in the like week of 1946 and 114318 in the corresponding week of 1941, Included dn this week's produc- tion were 64,537 cars and 22083 trucks assembled in the United States and 3270 cars and 1,780 trucks made in Canadian plants, Warn Parents Check Camp Before Sending Children Toronto, July 12--(CP)--Parents should investigate fully before they send their children on far off back- woods camping expeditions, offi- cials of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests said today. They were replying to criticism of circumstances which led to eva- cuation of some 40 children from a camp at Pagwa, 150 miles north- west of Kapuskasing. The boys were flown out to Toronto and then to New York City, where they arrived last night. "This was_ entirely advertised and organized in New York City," the Department spokesman said. "The boys were flown direct to Kapus- kasing from the United States and the camp is not one of the regular official Canadian camps." "It seems the onus might have been on the parents to have checked a little more closely be- fore sending their children into Northern Ontario. This should have been done right at home in New York." 4 An investigation already has been opened by the department, with the sending of men in from Nakina and Hearst by gasoline car over the railway tracks to make sure no one was undergoing any hardship. It is understood the boys had plenty of food and the camp had medical and counsellor attendants present. John Gleason who promoted the camp said at New York he ran out of money. News of the Playgrounds Tonight, Eastview Park are having "Community Nite" on their play- ground. There will be all kinds of races, volleyball, basketball and--it is reported--lots of food. C.R.A. taff members will be there to help with the many different activities. Yesterday afternoon, Jack Kerr, the leadér of Eastview, took some of the boys and girls out on a "fungus" hike. They will gather fungus, and use the back of it to paint on; it works just as well as brown paper. It was at Eastview, too, that about 30 of the neighbor- hood men and women got together and wrote the name "Eastview" in stones on the side of the hill and planted rock plants and annuals in the new gateway to the park. An "Art" hike started last Tuesday from Connaught Park with Joan Lambert in charge. With pencils and some oils, they got far enough into the country to spend the after. noon sketching a barn. Crafts and © art are very popular at most of the playgrounds during the afternoon, and are in full swing at some of the areas which are short on playground equipment. Hikes and cycle trips have got well under way. Yesterday College Hill was off to spend the day at their own privaté "swimming hole." Mary Street School playground managed a picnic to a swimming pool north of the city, and all play- grounds seem anxious for as much' as they can get in this new activity pm, Which has been introduced this NF summer. Some of the C.RA. staff have fwrned in and worked as pick and shovel help this past week. Con- sequently volleyball, basketball and paddle tennis standards are getting setting up on many of the play- grounds. Swimming registration has been going on all week. The staff is trained and merely waiting till the filter plants are ready to open at the pools. Each swim class will last for 20 minutes at a time, and the staff hope that they will get a chance to teach every young person in Oshawa how to swim. A schedule i$ being drawn up for hardball for the coming week. Last Wednesday, in the bantam class, Sunnyside pitched a no-hit, no-run game when they defeated Con- naught 7.0. The Thursday game, in the Peewee class, between Con- naught and Cedardale, was rained out. Radio programs, planned espe- cially for boys and girls began last Wednesday with the story of the Nutcracker Suite, told in words and music. Yesterday children from North -Simcoe and Mary Street playgrounds sang some of the sing- ing games that they have been learning on the playgrounds. This special children's' program will be heard every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:15 to 5:30 over CKDO. py A clean-up campaign has been going on around the Recreation headquarters on Gibbs Street. The ground has been levelled off in front of the building, a driveway outlined, and already flower boxes, full of bloom, have appeared on each side of the front steps.

An atomic energy commission of- ficial said last night that all miss- ing material had been recovered. The Congressional sources sald that he had been told that the Jus- tice Department has not prosecuted the sergeants because 'it then would be necessary to bring into court the actual atomic bomb negatives - for possible public display. 4 Americans Get Poisoned Montreal, July 12--(CP)--Four Americans tourists were stricken with food poisoning yesterday as they were driving by car from Que- bec City to Montreal, and two of the victims were still unconscious in hospital here early today where Yel condition was reported criti- cal: The four, Mr. and Mrs, W.

Haig, Progressive Conser- vative leader in the Senate, from $6,000 to $13,000 and $10,000, res- pectively. Only the "on division" .shout of | Stanley Knowles (CCF, Winnipeg |organization are ready to admit the ballots are counted. If it drops North Centre) echoed yesterday's | sharp debate on the bill, Princess, Philip Relax Quietly at Windsor London, July 12 -- (CP) -- The world's most celebrated engaged couple, Princess Elizabeth and Lieut. Philip Mountbatten, relaxed today with members of the Royal Family at Windsor and with their departure from London the bright light of publicity that has blazed upon them for three days shifted to more mundane concerns, The 21-year-old Princess, who some day may be Britain's Queen, and her handsome 26-year-old fi- ance planned a quiet week-end af- ter two days exposed to the public gaze since' their engagement was announced Wednesday night. May Attend Races However, they may atend the ra- ces during the afternoon at Ascot. Morning papers turned from de- tailed accounts of the doings of Princess Elizabeth and young Mountbatten to such topics as the Paris economic conference and Bri- tain's dollar crisis. Both the Princess and her fiance said they were tired after a round of public appearances. After a quiet family dinner at the Royal Lodge with The King and Queen and Princess Margaret, they stroll- ed last night amid the lofty elms of Windsor Great Park before re- tiring. To Return On Sunday Elizabeth is to return to London to take the salute at an International Girl Guides rally. Philip probably will accompany her but they will return to Windsor in time to hear a special BBC broad- cast on the life of the Princess at 8 p. m. Early next week the bride-to-be will be shown the first tentative designs for the trousseau she will wear at the wedding in Westmin- ster Abbey, the date for which is in- definite. It now is certain that the Board of Trade will issue extra clothing coupons for the trousseau but sources close to Buckingham Palace predict it will be "on the conservative side" in view of Bri- tain's current austerity living. May Tour Many persons predict that the Royal Family will cut short its customary Highland holiday at Bal- moral in Scotland this autumn to prepare for an October wedding. While it is generally expected that the couple will reside in a wing of Buckingham Palace for a time after returning from their honeymoon -- which possibly will take the form of a tour to Canada and other parts of the Common- wealth--it has been suggested that they may take a house in London's west end, perhaps at fashionable Belgrave Square where the Duch- ess of Kent began her married life. Halifax Set for Polls With 3 Parties Gunning Halifax, July 11--(CP)--It would | as the Halifax by-election goes, so! | will Canada go, particularly if ex- | pectations of a Liberal win are ful- filled. But there are things happen- | ing in this campaign which should | be of interest to any student of national political trends. Roughly, the by-election picture, as it stands today, looks to an out- | side observer something like this: | There is, first a Liberal organiza- | tion which has been one of the most efficient in Canada and which has worked hard and steadily at and between election times and has held | Halifax concistently and comfort- ably in the Liberal fold since 1928. The Progressive Conservative 'or- | ganization has been working hard, ! but the frank members of the now that somehow they 'missed the boat, There is no issue between | -| fanatical zeal which paid off with them and the government in this by-election sufficient] y strong or fundamental to excite the Halifax electors. Then, finally, there is the CCF with the dynamic Cape Breton member, Claire Gillis, leading its campaign. With little or no organi- zation, it has worked with feverish the liveliest and nearly the biggest meeting of the by-election here last night. The Liberals are not afraid of the Progressive Conservatives this time but they are counting those 1,400 votes represented at last night's rally along. In 1940, the total' CCF poll in Halifax was hardly more than that. One Liberal said today: "If we can get a €0 per .cent vote out on Monday. the election is won before as low as 40 per cent, as it may do, the CCF has a good chance." 2nd Report On UN Deals With Set-Up Lake Success, July 12--(AP) -- The second report of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commis- sion to the United Nations Security Council will deal principally with the organization and function of a It will do little toward smoothing over Russian-United States differ- ences. These predictions came from au- thoritative sources as the atomic delegates began meeting regularly to discuss that second report, which must be handed in before the gen- eral assembly meets in Septem- ber. The first report, given to the Se- curity Council last Dec. 31, 'vas written at the insistence of Ber- nard M. Baruch, who soon afters ward resigned as the United States member of the Atomic Commission. The December report dealt prin- cipally with safeguards under which atomic control could be set up. Soviet Russia and Poland re- fused to go along with the 10 other members of the commission in ap- proving it. They balked chiefly at provis- sions for waiving the veto on atomic punishments. The basic disagreements have not changed in the intervening months. 'The United States delegation feels that some work must begin soon on a treaty setting up atomic controls, even if it is just a start. However, the concensus among the delegates is that there still is a great deal to be done before they reach the treaty stage. Girl's Body Washed Up Port Weller, July 12--(CP)--Body of 20-year-old Verna Ruth Huggins, who had been missing from her St. Catharines home since the night of July 3, was recovered at Municipal Beach here last night. A beach resident found the body washed up on the shore. Provin- cial constables Willlam Gibson and Norman Fach investigated and identified the body. Valentine Hug- gins, father of the dead girl, also identified the body. Verna disappeared during the night of July 3, leaving two notes, one to her family and one to a boy friend, indicating she was going to nearby Port Dalhousie. A skirt and purse®identified as hers were found on the pler there, and dragging operations were carried on for about 24 hours. Bible School (Continued from Page 1) ment of Christian teaching, Com- bined, the letters and their collec- tive meaning underlined the eter- nal values of a vital religious faith. Perhaps most impressive during the evening was God's Clock of the Ages, a demonstration by the inter- mediate class. Each pupil stepped forward to move the clock hand one hour forward as the story of Jesus unfolded. The 12th and final hour--the hour of "what will happen when Jesus comes" --Tre- quired earnest and soul-searching preparation, the pupils emphasized. Singing in bright, bell-like fash- ion, the full choir of the school sounded a note of conviction as they offered "All My Burdens," "rll Do It All For Jesus," "The Whole Wide World," and "Wounded For Me." Piano accompaniment for the beginner and primary classes was provided by Mrs. Emest Soanes, while Mrs. Albert Whitehead play- ed piano for the junior and inter- mediate choruses. Rev. Whitehead, who introduced the program items, thanked all those who played any part in the functioning of the school. Certificates Presented Mrs. Percy Taylor presented cer- tificates with gold seal attached to all those in the beginner and pri- mary classes who had a perfect at- tendance record during the school session. 'These certificate winners were: Alan Johnston, Patsy Eggert, Ruth and Carol Tanton, Dorothy Smith, Bruce Stacey, Gary Weir, Edwin Westfall, Marion Oliver, Bobby Henry, Donna Brant, Don- ald Masten, Robert Mitchell, Jim- my Smith, Joyce Garrett, Bruce Johnson and Donna May White- head. Junior certificate winners, who also won honor sess for comple- tion of their memory work, in- cluded: Ann Nichol, Dorothy Hoop- er, Bethamie Whitehead, Joan Brant, Helen 'Wiles, David Lager=- quist, Teddy Johmson, George Wis- kin, Betty Nichol, Gerald Blair and Billy Lyons. Intermediate winners of certifi- cates and honor seals were: Audrey Hurlbert, Barbara Dugan, Shirley Bartlett, June HBdwards, Myrna Armstrong, Jean Sturrock, Dolores Kirk, Caroline Mills. Certificate winners included: Pauline Hooper, Harvey Lainson, Norman Knox, Kenneth Harvey, John Wiskin, Shirley Brant and Joan Brook. As a special gward for bringing five pupils each to the school, Au- drey Hurlbert and June Edwards each received a real, live goldfish swimming in a bowl. HAY MIXTURES In experiments over a number of years at the Dominion Experimen- tal Station, Lennoxville, P.Q., mix- tures containing .alfalfa produced 13 per cent more dry hay than similar mixtures without alfalfa. A mixture of 8 lb. timothy, 3 lb. red clover, 1 1b alsike, and 4 lb. alfalfa yielded 4.67 tons, and was closely followed by a similar mixture com- posed of 8 1b. timothy, 4 1b. red clo- ver, 22 lb. alsike and 4 lb. alfalfa which produced 4.45 tons, world-wide atomic control agency. | 'health said last night.

WHERE TO PARK? Vancouver (CP).--A new problem has arisen to confound house- hungry Vancouver citizens -- a shortage of garage space. Permits for 66 new apartment blocks have been issued since the first of the year, few with any garage accom- modation and many with none at all. ately an ,additional 5,000 displaced persons from among the estimated 1,000,000 of Europe's homeless. This brings to 10,000 the number now to be admitted before Canada reaches her final quota agreement with the inter-governmental committee on refugees. Not Total He emphasized that these people would be over and above those ad- mitted as relatives of Canadians and said they would come as large groups for industrial and other em- ployment in the Dominion. After the Minister outlined the immigration policy, the reaction of the Commoners was both critical and full of praise. Mr. Howe, him- self criticized Premier Drew's plan to fly 7,000 Britons to Ontario as a "perfect example of a man playing with machinery that he did not un- derstand and getting his fingers burned." The Acting Minister of Immigra- tion, answering questions of Don- ald Brown (L-Essex West) during consideration of Mines and Re- sources estimates, was critical of the fact a contract had been signed with an American air line to fly the prospective British emigrants across the Atlantic. Position Explained It seemed only reasonable that any such charter should have been with a Canadian or British com- pany. Mr. Howe said the position was that Canada had an air agreement with Britain that only British or Canadian equipment would be al- lowed landing rights in the res. pective countries on trans-Atlantic crossings and since Canada wanted to keep this agreement intact, she could not let a civilian American {rans-Atlantic plane land in this country. The Result The result was that the prospec. tive immigrants would have to be landed in the United States and transported to Canada and he said Premier Drew was "out of line" when he arranged the contract with the U.S. company. Mr. Howe said the Ontario gov.' ernment had asked for the full co- operation of the Federal govern. ment and the full co-operation of the Immigration Department had been offered. Speaking of the plan to land the British emigrants in the US. and then transport them to Ontario he said that would protect Canada so far as her reciprocal Atlantic air agreement with Britain was con. cerned, 'but "it does not protect the United Kingdom and it leaves the United States in a rather peculiar position. However, Canada is quite satisfied to protect our own good faith in our agreement and we shall be quite happy if the movement can proceed without causing any violation on our part." PREFER GOLD LETTERING St, Thomas, Ont.

Belleville Welcomes Home 5,000 Sons, Daughters Belleville, July 12-- (CP) = Ac- commodation posed the main prob- lem as this Bay of Quinte com- munity founded 160 years ago pre- pared today to welcome home 5,000 of its old boys and girls -- plus thousands of visitors----who are ex- pected to attend a week's reunion program starting tomorrow. With the housing situation al- ready somewhat strained by its 20,- 000 inhabitants, it will be no easy task putting up the visitors. Growth of Belleville -- known chiefly as a dairy centre, although it has 20 other industries -- has been steady in recent years. Greatest progress'was made in the war years during which three air fields were situated within 15 miles of the community, incorpor- ated as a village in 1836, as a town in 1850 and as a city in 1877. The week's program -- picked up again after an absence of 12 yeays --arose out of a decision by city council it should honor Belleville's veterans of the Second World War, and appropriately starts off with a memorial service Sunday, followed by a full day devoted to the veter- ans on Monday.

Presentations, a picnic and a banquet and dance will follow. Festivities for the remainder of the week are in the hands of a company of professional organiz- ers who have lined up outstanding entertainers and other attractions on a high plane.
