Owned by Louie Masoloff, it was burned to the ground with a small quantity of furniture. Loss was about $1,000, sending the 24- hour fire total soaring above the $8,000 mark. The alarm was turned in by an elderly lady who refused to give her name "for fear of reprisals". Standing well back under the shadows of a heavy clump of trees, she pleaded with newspaper re- don't put my | porters to "please | name in the paper.

U.K. Press Wants Commonwealth Ties Strengthened London, Aug. 27-- (Reuters) --Bri- tain's appreciation of the response of the Commonwealth to her econ- omic emergency today found ex- pression in editorials as newspaper commentators searched for a prac- tical means to sirengihen Empire co-operation. While the Liberal News Chronicle called for the dispatch of a high- ranking minister to the principal centres of the Commonwealth, the Communist Daily Worker took up a suggestion first made yesterday in the Conservative Daily Mail, for the calling of a Dominions conference. The Daily Express, independent Conservative newspaper owned by Canadian-born Lord Beaverbrook and "Empire Crusader" of long standing, exclaimed "they are aall Empire free traders now." The Labor Party's Daily Herald said that "ni has stirred the hearts of the British people more in the past few weeks than the re- newed signs of support and encour- agement for us in these islands which have been received from all parts of the British wealth." : Referring to the forthcoming con- ference of Commonwealth Labor parties in Canada, the paper spoke of the "powerful and growing la- bor movements" in the Dominions, adding: "Our Tories, who once re- garded the Empire as their own personal property, like to forget how much the Commonwealth is now a Labor.

The girls' course in physical and health education in Ontario schools will remain unchanged and the time allotment for the new course for boys will be the same as in the former course but citizenship corps training will replace the cadet training course. The Premier said that schools may continue to sponsor cadet corps but in the cadet training will of necessity be limited to a volun- tary activity outside of school hours, Membership in a cadet corps will not exempt pupils from participation in the course in giti- zenship corps training. ~ The decision to set up new training program of the Department of National de- | By JOHN DAUPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer Dundee, Scotland, Aug, 27. --(C P)--B8ir Henry Dale, president of the 116-year-old British Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sci- a few years and many of the ad- vances would bring peacetime bene- fits to mankind.
