Added to this collection of trivia, paraphernalia and sometimes use- less junk are the dolls, vases, bal- loons, boxes of candy and countless worthless prizes won by Mr. Lucky on the midway and by his wife when that man failed to guess her age or her weight. One exhibitor seemed to hit the nail on the hear when it came to drawing crowds to his booth. In. , | stead of giving away samples, he just supplied paper cups. The at- traction; cold water. With a' 30-gallon water cooler in his booth, the exhibit is constantly crowded with thankful, foot-sore people who sigh "gee, cold water," and the thirsty number about 5,000 a day. Democracy Is On Trial, Royall Says Raleigh, N.C, Aug. 23--(AP)-- Army Secretary Kenneth Royall said last night that "the chips are down in this world-wide political game" in occupied Europe "and food and clothing are the initial plays." In a speech to the North Carolina 4.H council, Royall said that "the world can be reasonably certain that in the long run--and perhaps in the short run--such system of government will prevail as will fur- nish its people the best standard of living and the highest scale of life." He continued: "In order to survive, democracies must show that they can serve their people better than any other form of government. We have demon- strated this here in the United Sta- tes. It-can be demonstrated else- where in the world." Royall said that if the American- British zone of Cermany does not prove the success of democracy, "the failure will be considered by the worlg: as our failure."

Corrections In Report Of Case The attention of The Times- Gazette has been drawn to some errors in a report of a police court case which was dealt with recently by Magistrate R. P. Locke, K.C., involving charges of assault laid by Henry Bickle against Mrs, Hazel Tennier and her daughter, Mrs. Hazel Griffin, I» the press report the state- ment was made that Mr, Bickle and his father-in-law, Stanley Prevost, "were engaged in plow- ing for levelling the road in front of the Tennier property although they had received no authoriza- tion to do so from H. Hoskin, East Whitby road superintendent, who was called to the stand." An error was made in referring to. the location .of the work that was going on. Actually the "plow- ing and levelling" was being done on Sommerville Avenue which runs alongside of the Tennier property and the work was being carried on south to a point near the rear of the property so that the plaintiff stated in court, ac- in no way affected. With regard to permission be- ing given for the work evidence was' also given in court by Mr. Prevost that permission had been obtained from Edgar Glover, chairman of the Roads and Brid- ges Committee of the East Whit- by Council. Apparently Mr, Hos- kin had not been notified of this fact, In his judgment Magistrate Locke stressed the point whether or not permission was given for the levelling of the road the ac- cused parties had no right to seek to interfere with the work that was going on as it was on a public highway and not on their private property. / The Times-Gazette regrets any inaccuracies in the original re. port of this case, Pedigree Pup Boom in U.K. LONDON--(CP)--A boom in pe digree dogs is reported by officials of the Kennel Club, Piccadilly, which last year registered a record number of 111,000 dogs at 2s. 6d. (50 cents) a time. E. Holland Buckley, who is work- ing overtime to keep up with the rush, sald a further 56,173 dogs were entered during the first half of this month. "People seem fo be going in for pedigree dogs," he added, "and there's a swing-back from the war years when registrations fell off to a mere 12,000 in 1941." The current index contains 600,- 000 dogs and historical files contain the names of another 300,000. Cockers are the most popular with 25,000 registered last year. Next came Alsatians, 11,000; wire-haired fox-terriers, 8,000; Scottish terriers, 6,000; Pekingese, 5,300; Daschunds, despised during the First World War, numbered, 4,300. The once-popular Old English Mastiff and other large dogs such as Newfoundlands, are said to be on the decline because of the diffi- i culty of feeding them. 7 rouk, who was in Toronto yester- ik cess to the Tennier property was, First Post-War CNE Open | the United Kingdom, of goods and | gio te petween the union and three major lake shipping New paint, new products, and an old crowd eager to see postwar devel- opments in all lines of manufacture--all were on hand yesterday to greet the opening of the 1947 Canadian National Exhibition, first held since 1941, when the grounds and buir ings were dedicated to the training of Canada's armed forces.

The study, entitled "Fascism In Action," was authorized by the House of Representatives after months of ii rn and was made by the' legislative reference service of the Library of Congress. Except for foreword by Patman, who requested the survey, the bulky report deals entirely with the his- tory and operation of fascism in other countries, mainly Germany and Italy. Its purpose is to call attention to what happened abroad and to possible dangers at home. -- document notes that Fascist ps- try to accomplish their ends Within the law but if that proves impossible "they simulate legality for their actions." "There are many strong symptoms of fascism in our own democratic society, True, this movement in the United States masquerades under other names than the discredited one of fascism, but whatever it may be called, its peculiar characteristics are alarmingly evident." Patman named no individuals or organizations directly. He urged that every means be used to combat fascism, suggesting as the best wea- pons Full utilization of the educational system, maintenance of full employ- ment, increased national income and equitable distribution of it, an alert organized labor movement because labor "has more to fear from fas- cism than any other group," an honest and efficient operation of the democratic form of government. The study is a companion piece to an earlier survey called "Commun. ism In Action." Romania Ratifijes Paris Peace Pact Bucharest, Aug. 23 (AP)--The Romanian Chamber of Deputies, in a special meeting today unanimous- ly ratified the peace treaty with the Allied and associated powers. The entire cabinet was present as the chamber acted. Foreign Minister Gheorghe Ta- tarescu said the present peace treaties were but the definite form of all peace treaties of the First World War. "The interval between the two wars was nothing but a long arm- istice," he said. ' "The present peace treaty puts an end to a lost war that has been waged against the will of the peo- ple," he added. The treaty requires Romania, which ' fought the Second World War on the Axis side, to pay Rus- sia $300,000,000 in reparations de- prives her of Bessarabia on her eastern border, which goes to Rus- sia, and limits her defence forces to 138,000 men in the army, navy, air force and anti-aircraft force, 15,000 tons of warships and 150 planes, 100 of combat type. The pact was drawn up in a ser- ies of Big Four foreign ministers' meetings and a 21-power conference in Paris and was signed in Paris last Feb. 10. In addition to losing Bessarabia to Russia under the treaty, Ro- mania also cedes Southern Dobru- ja to 'Bulgaria.

Goods Lack, Not Dollars Hounds U.K. Washington, Aug. 2 Aug. 28 (OP) --The paradox of the dollar crisis is that in fact there is no "shortage" of United States dollars. There are more American dollars in circula- tion this year than ever before. But there is a shortage in many countries, including Canada and Thatgis the cause of the crisis. Need Fresh Source The United Kingdom, Canada and many other countries are buying so much more from the United States than they sell that they will have to stop buying here or find some fresh source of dollars. The reason is that the United States is the greatest existing and potential - producer of the things other countries need, Canada is buying about twice as much as she sells to the United States and so is able to pay for only half her purchases in goods. The other half is eating up the sizable store of United States dollars. The United Kingdom met' the situation with a $3,750,000,000 loan loan from the United States and as a condition of the loan agreed to exchange dollars for pounds ster- ling received by other countries for goods sold to Britain, Rush To Exchange Immediately every country then receiving pounds sterling, from whatever source, rushed to ex- change them for United States dollars. That set up a run on Britains supply of borrowed dollars. In mid- August these borrowed American dollars were being paid out at the rate of $240,000,000 a week. To stop this, Britain obtained Washington's permission to suspend the convertibility clause of the loan terms, which took effect last July 15. But, with practically all the loan used, she now has the job of finding dollars to pay for her own purchases of Aemrican goods.

[Union Hails Vote On 1948 Contract, Concessions Won Ottawa, Aug. 23 (CP)--Shrugging off the highly publicized Communist issue as a minor concession, officials of the Canadian Seamen's Unions today were jubiliant oven union gains in the government-announced settlement of the companies, Claiming tha' "Commative was never the issue" union presi- dent Harry Davis said the union had yielded on the question of non-Communism declarations be- cause it did not want a strike that would hit the Canadian eco- nomy and hold up shipments of necessities to Britam and Europe, On other points the union claimed it had gained ground, including concessions towards holiday pay and the smashing of an attempt to establish a '"'comp- any union." Result of Huddles The settlement announced yes- terday was the result of a series of huddles between Labor Mini- ster Mitchell and other Labor Department officials, C.S.UU, offi. cials, and the three shipping com. panies--Canada Steamship Lines, Sarnia Steamship Ltd., and Col- onial Steamship Company, Erincinal gain by the comp- anes was the concession of the union that before C.S.U, shore delegates board company ships, they will sign declarations that they are not "Communists" or "Communist agents." Also agreed to under the settle- fy in applying for shore delegate passes that the delegates are, '"to the best of the knowledge of the union," not Communists, and that liability claims for the death or injury of delegates aboard ship will be waived. Patrol Men Qualify {The third concession of the company--union certification vof felegates as war servicemen or merchant marine members--was accepted without reservations ,by the union, because, Davis sd, most of the patrol mer qualify in any case, Davis hailed as a big win for the union a clause stating that an early government-supervised vote among lake seamen on the question of whether the C.S.U. will act as a bargaining agency for the 1948 contract, On the bal- lot to be taken, the C.S.U., will be the only union mentioned. After a C.8.U. meeting here at ratified the settlement, a bor Department statement menioned as points also won by the C.8.U.: 1. An agrement of the Colon- fal and Sarnia Lines to reimburse seamen for part of last season's holiday pay, which the unio claimed was still owing, 2.
