Toronto Resident Wins Give Money PETER STANLEY SHODY classrooms after W. Gordon Bunk- er, business administrator, said de- partment authorities considered this type of window "highly de- sirable." Provincial officials, with whom Mr. Bunker conferred earlier this week, said the directional glass block type did a good job of re- flecting light to the far corners of the classroom and they assured him it would not detract from the architectural resign of the origin- al building. Trustee Dr. PF. J. Donevan came out strongly in support of the new window design, declaring he was "in favor of the best possible light- ing conditions" in order "to cut down the lighting kill." Monthly light bills for several of the city's public schools would "make you op- en your eyes," Dr, Donevan as- serted CALEB H. FRENCH Well known local real estate man, who passed away in Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital yesterday afternoon as the result of a sudden heart attack. Real Estate Man Passes Suddenly Prominent in the real estate and insurance field in Oshawa for the past 22 years, Caleb Henry French died very suddenly in the Oshawa General Iiospital yesterday after- noon, in his 58th year. Apparently in good health previously, Mr. French suffered a heart attack at his office and while removed to hospital failed to rally. A native of Rednersville, Ontario, the deceased had resided in this area for the past 22 years and had lived in Oshawa and Whitby. He resided in Prince Edward . County before coming here. Possessing a pleasing personality, he enjoyed a very large circle of friends. He was also held in the highest regard by all with whom he did business. In Whitby, the deceased took an active interest in civic affairs and "We would be spending the public's money more wisely on this directional glass block than we would in being penny-wise and do- ing without it," agreed Trustee George Fletcher. It is estimated that installation of directional SCHOOL ADDITION (Continued on Page 2) Drug Firm Is Formed By Lovell Family Formation of a new drug firm, Lovell Drugs Limited, is announced in a notice of incorporation carried in the latest issue of the Ontario Gazette.

The body was removed near the Canadian Maid of the Mist landing, and is believed to be that of Bdward W. Schiffhauer, 48, of Buffalo, N. Y., who lost his wife in a boating tragedy, last Sunday af- ternoon, Schiffhauer was drowned when he lost his balance while trying to start his outboard motorboat, and fell into the Upper Niagara River, a mile north of Grand Island.

Porter made his statement to The Canadian Press when asked of the possibility of a hitch in the immi- gration scheme through suggested contravention of the United King- dom-United States air agreement. The Ontario government planned to move the emigrants, starting Aug. 2, by a charter airline. A civil aviation spokesman here said today that the official view of the Minis. try was that trans-Atlantic flights such as those planned by the On- tario government would "tend to be- come scheduled" and therefore would contravene the Civil Aviation Act of 1946. The civil aviation spokesman had denied reports published abroad that "a direct refusal had been made" to move the emigrants.

When the band concert had fin- ished at about 9.40 o'clock, a good many of the music lovers invaded the carnival grounds where they could choose to play bingo, the old army game, crown and anchor, over and under, or any or all of the numerous games of chance.

To Britain, Says Barford Sarnia, July 25 (CP)--Dubious of United States public opinion to- wards another loan to Great Bri- tain, Ray A, Barford publisher of the Sarnia Observer told a service club here last night that British authorities should embark on a comprehensive campaign of educa- tion and propaganda "to acquaint Americans with the realities of the situation." Barford recently completed a | seven-week tour of Great Britain as |a member of 'a Canadian Daily Newspapers Association delegation who visited the Isles to stimulate trade and establish industrial rela- tionships between the two countries. "I feel that any money or other aid we may give this desperate country in the future, should not be a loan, but a payment for what they did and suffered for the whole world during the war, particularly when they stood alone against the enemy. "They have a chance to come back but I don't think they can do it under the piesent government which, by regulation, is strangling industry and discouraging initia- tive."

Employing the strongest words any Soviet commentator has yet used in reference to the Paris par- ley, the paper said: "Bevin and Bidault shut every- one's' mouth, closed the windows and handled the delegates by tail and mane as if they were not rep- resentatives of the sovereign peo- ples of Western Europe but a herd of rams being sent by Anglo-French exporters to a Chicago slaughter house. "Western Europe never was sO humiliated. Never was the downfall of the ruling bourgeoise so rapid. The want and poverty of the peo- ples of Western Europe became the pretext for'a dirty, unworthy polit- ical game."
