2" EEE LEE 1 EET Savane, SREY ET K PACE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY ' : Phone 703, All Departments Business Office, Miss: G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Edicor. Announce Plans For Formation Of Whitby Figure Skating Club 'The formation of a Whitby Figure Skating Club was announc- ed over the week-end by Gordon McMahon, secre of Whit- by Minor Athletic Association. The announcement was made following the completion of plans for secur- fng an ice surface and a qualified fmstructor. Sneaking of the Jrojest, Mr. McMahon stated that the two main purposes in forming the club were to accommodate the many Whitby citizens who have been clamouring for such a club and also to provide additional recreational activity for 8. Mr. McMahon said that the association had been very fortunate in securing the services of a com etent instructress, Miss Dianne ambly, of Oshawa, Miss Hambly for the past two years has been a member of the professional skat- ing troupe known as Ice Capades but that for the present winter had devoted her time strictly to instructional work. Arrangements have been made with the management of Taylor's Arena here for the use of the ice every Thursday between 4 and 5 o'clock and these periods will commence on Thursday, January 29. There will be no limitation laced on the age of club mem- rs and Mr. McMahon stated that already he has had numerous in- quiries from adults and children alike as to the enrolment proce- dure, 'Fees for instruction have been set as low as possible and they will entitle the participants to instruction as long as good ice is available. Regarding equipment, Mr, Mec- Mahon stated that fin conversation with Miss Hambly she had said that figure skates are not essen- tial for novices but that ordinary pleasure or hockey skates will do. puri she pointed out that ordinary skates will not allow the pupil to practice the full comple- ment of school figures but are rea- sonably satisfactory for many of the elementary exercises, Considerable comment has al- ready been caused by the announc- ed intentions of the association to form a club and if the number of enquiries about it are any indica- tion as to future success, then the idea seems to have been a good one and one well founded on need. Enrolment will commence imme- diately and citizens are advised that they may do so by contacting Mr. McMahon at his office or by phoning either 329 or 2498. Woodstock Man Speaks At Rotary The guest speaker at Tuesday's luncheon meeting of the Whitby Rotary Club will be Allan Lawrason, Vice-President" and General Man. ager of Eureka Foundry and Manu- facturing Company, of Woodstock. Mr. Lawrason recently returned from Stockholm, Sweden, where he was representing the Canadian Em. ployers Metal Trades Committee of the International Labour Organi. zations which is part of the social and economic council of the United Nations. Mr. Lawrason will be the guest of Rotarian Bud Goode on Tuesday and Mr. Goode has promised all club members an extremely interest- ing address. No definite indication was given as to what the speaker will use as his tople but it Is ex- pected that he will give many of the highlights of his recent trip and perhaps an insight into what his committee is attempting to do in the field of labour. Ice Nite To Be Held On February 20 'The Whitby Minor Athletic As- sociation will hold their Second Annual "Ice Nite" on Friday Feb. 20. This announcement was made today by Donald Gaine and Gordon | McMahon, President and Secretary respectively of the association. Feature attraction of this year's event' will be a full program of figure skating by the Oshawa Figure Skating Club. The committee in charge reports that it is also mak- ing arrangements for a Pee-Wee hockey game between a team of locals and suitable opponents from either Toronto or Oshawa. A new innovation will be a series of races between both boys and girls in different age classes. Elimina. tions will be held prior to the twen- tieth with the finals being run off that evening. Officials of the Asso- ciation stated that they hoped to be able to announce time and dates for a eliminations later in the week, Quebec L director; Georges Cherrier, director; Tremblay.

BLAKESLEE Associated Press Sci Editor New York, Jan, 24--(AP)--An in- creasing number of earthquakes in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada is predicted by L. Don Leet, Professor of Seismo- logy at Harvard, In a book, "Causes of Catastro- phe," published today (Whittlesey House) Dr. Leet defines the area as New England, New York, Eastern Pennsylvania, Northern New Jersey, a large area of Canada north of Lake Ontario and the 8t. Lawrence River to its mouth, and Nova Scetia. The reasons are seven widespread earthquakes since 1909 in this great area. The region went for a cenutry without a quake of importance af- ter the Boston earthquake of 1756. In 1860 and agein in 1870 Canadian shocks were felt over 700,000 to 1,. 000,000 square miles, There were no more general earthquakes in the region until 1904. Dr. Leet says the present epoch of increasing quakes probably has not yet passed a climax. He des- cribes planes of weakness, lines where the earth can slip, one side of the line in one direction, the other in a different direction. These weaknesses follow the St. Lawrence River, also a line parallel, and inland from the Bay of Fundy; another follows Lake Champlain. Dr. Leet says there is a steady showing from below all through this region, due to the earth's crust re- adjusting its pressures, "There are," he concludes, "deep- seated forces at work in that zone which give evidence of ample energy fc destructive effects on any large community which has the misfor- tune to be located near the point at which it is released." "Seismologists," he says, "are sri- ving, and probably will have to strive for generations, to get large ctiles to prepare in advance rather than after the fact." . GIFT OF HEAVEN Chinese legend has it that tea was originally a precious "gift of heaven" to a few serene philosoph- NOW PLAYING LAST COMPLETE SHOW AT 8.20 -|'To Canadian Poet Dundas St. Pupils Hold Carnival Although it was one of the coldest days this winter with the mercury keeping itself well below the zero mark, the skating car- nival held for the children of Dun- das Street School, was well attend. ed. The skaters were a galaxy of colourfully costumed figures. and there were so ig A beautiful and unique costumes that the judges had a very difficult time in picking out the prize winners. No skating carnival is complete without its Satanic imp and the school had one, giving the rink its original touch by weaving among the skaters. The judges of the event were: Mrs, William Davidson, wife of the mayor here, and Mrs. Francis Me- Intyre, wife of the chairman of the Whitby Board of Education. The following were the prize winners, © accordin to grades: Grades 7 and 8--Rhona Ross as a lovely Chinese girl, won a blue scripto pencil. Donald Wilson won the green scripto pencil by bein an excellent darkie. Grades 6 a 6--Doreen Brown won an auto- graph album for her costume of a charming old-fashioned girl of the poke bonnet days. Raddy Wil- liams for his costume of a Ha- waiian hula dancing girl, won a nice bag of marbles. Grades 8 and 4--Joanne Johnson in the quaint costume of a Dutch girl received a comb and hair clip set, Leroy Mowat won a game of Snap for being a very capable fireman. Grades 1 and 2--Patricia George as a beautiful golden busterfy won the story and picture book, *Sunny Tales". Douglas Taylor in a Chi- nese boy's costume complete with dragon blouse won the story and picture book, "Danny's Secret". After the judging the children retired to the schoolhouse where refreshments, games, songs and story telling were enjoyed by all. John Masefield Offers Tribute London, Jan. 23.--(CP)-- Tribute to the late Canadian lyric and nar- rative poet, Duncan Campbell Scott, was pald yesterday by Britain's senior man of letters, Poet Laur- eate John Mansfield, in a simple memorial service at the Church of St. Martin-In-the-Fields in Trafal- gar Square, "As one who loved his work and owed much to hilm, I ask you to remember him kindly and with gratitude," Mansfield told the con- gration of about 100 at a mid-day service in the historic church, The British writer, a slender, silver-haired figure, spoke feeling- ly of the debt which British let- ters owed to Scott for his "declara- tion of the wild Canadian scene... ard the exhilaration of being young in a young country where... a new way of life was beginning." Scott represented "the best of our Canadian poetry and prose" and had given British readers a "living knowledge" of Canadian life. Mansfield also read a tribute from Prime Minister Mackenzie King which expressed the belief that much of Scott's work would 'find an enduring place in the vast er field of English literature." The service included. readings from three of Scott's poems, "Watkwenies," "The Forsaken," and the concluding lines of "Fragment of An Ode .to Canada." The congregation sang 'Lead, Kindly Light" and "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended" and stood at attention to "O Canada" at the end of the service. Canada was officially represent- ed by Norman Robertson, the Do- minion's High Commissioner in London. , EARTH'S RICHES Between the birth of the mod-/ ern oil industry in 1859 and the | end of 1945, 49,210,000,000 barrels of oil were taken out of the earth, Whitby Women Are Joining Association Of Consumers Still Seeking More The Canadian Association of Consumers, a women's organiza- tion recently founded in Canada to wage a consumers' war on high prices and to band women across the country together so that they can take any and all problems to roper authorities, is still on the ookout for new members. The association has been conducting a membership drive across the coun- try during the month of January and although hundreds of women have already joined the organiza- tion, officials are hoping that hun- dreds more will join prior to the end of the membership campaign. Mrs. G. M. Goodfellow, chair- man of the local branch of the association, said today that many women from the various organiza- tions in town have joined the association and that she had the names of those who would repre- sent these organizations on the local committee. The list of names of organiza- tions and their representatives to the committee received to date were released by Mrs, Goodfellow as being: Viscount Greenwood Chapter, I.0.D.E,, Miss R. G. Bryan; United Church W.M.S., Mrs, W. K. Bunner and Mrs, H. Phillips; Victorian _ Order of Nurses, Mrs. P. K. Draimin; All Saints' Church Parish Guild, Miss B. Fletcher; United Church W.A,, Mrs. C. Ives; Dundas Street Home and School Club, Mrs. W. R, Emer- son; Brock Street Home and School Club, Mrs. _ E. Bond; Baptist Church, Mrs. C. Sinclair; Women's Co-operative League, Mrs, M. Lindley and Mrs. G, Munns. Mrs. Goodfellow stressed the importance of other organizations in naming their representatives sometime during the week and representatives are reminded that the membership receipt books must be returned by the end of the month. In addition, any money received should' also be returned to the person from whom the book was originally received. Study Shows Cancer Cause Has Diet Link By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Sci Writer Auburn, Ala, Jan 24 -- (AP) -- Discovery that diet alone can cause cancer in rats, made two years ago at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has brought en experiments with other animals, This br! a new angle into cancer, the fact that malignant growths can be caused by too lit- tle food as well as by too much. Too much is illustrated by more than 30 chemicals which cause can- cer in animals; Always the cancers come from too much and too long use, The rats got cancer from too lit- tle of a necessary food. These are the first and thus far only examp- les of too lit ; The missing food was choline, sometimes caged a B vitamin, but identified by the Alabama experts as an organic base. Lacking cho- line, rats got cancers in muscles, bladders, lungs and livers. This same deficiency now is being tried on chickens and on dogs. Choline regulates fat in living tissues. Without choline, fat stores up in the liver instead of moving, as it should, to other parts of the body. Choline is necessary for man, It is common in egg yolk, liver, kidney, brains, glands and numerous other foods. The experiment began with a dlet completely lacking in choline, That killed rats of one strain in one to two weeks, Rats of a dif- ferent strain lived longer, but all died. With just a little choline the ani- mals lived, Washington Spotlight By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan, 23.--(CP) -- A responsible official with access to the United States government's most secret conferences, talking off the record the other night, said the War Department had information that would "scare the daylights" out of Congressmen, Probably he was exaggerating a little but there - is little likelihood that in this presidential electon year that Congress will be stamped- ed into doing anything approach- ing what the occasion demands, no matter what they hear. If both parties in Congress agreed to do what the overwhelming evi- dence indicates that they should do this year, they would have to re- strict election campaigning to mi- nor domestic issues or decide the outcome by the toss of a coin. Congress has been told by the President, State Secretary Marshall and others who are supposed to know about such things, that un- less the country spends upward of $17,000,000,000 on European ald in the next four years, it might'as well be prepared to spend far more and also sacrifice American lives in a third world war, 'That's pretty grim stuff but many Congressmen tend to dismiss it and even those who swallow most of it temper their belief with the sug- gestion that proponents of the plan are making the outlook blacker than it is. Thus the European rehabilitation plan, so urgently demanded to stem the totalitarian movement in Eu- rope's remaining free countries, is making laborious and difficult pro- gress through Congress. Now, Bernard M. Baruch, 78- year-old financier, philanthropist and adviser to Presidents since the first great war, has come along with his own idea of what faces the country and what can be done to save it, Politics = ridden Congressmen thanked him and commended him but obviously had not the slightest intention of adopting his plan be- cause it is packed with political dynamte. Baruch offered a blueprint for saving Europe and preserving home economy. It involved organization of the freedom-loving 'European countries into a union for defence, trade and balanced monetary re- lations; a guarantee by thé United States and other friendly powers to protect such countries if attacked by any aggressor. On the home front he would have government. controls sufficient to ensure a two-year "peace produc- tion drive" with longer hours if necessary, freedom from strikes, controls on prices and wages and rents, He would keep down food prices by giving farmers instead a guar- anteed floor price over the next three years. The raw products buying pro- gram would create an industrial urge all over the world. The tem- porary controls would increase pro- duction of consumer goods for the needy countries and home - mark- ets, and prevent inflation. "What about free enterprise?" Baruch asked himself, and his ans- wer: "You cannot save free enter- prise if you let the system that protects it go to ruin." "The time has come to organize, to mobilize, for peace. It cannot be put off safely any longer. The time for courage and decision is here." : AGGIE COACH NAMED Stillwater, - Okla. --- Art Griffith, wrestling coach at Oklahoma A. and M., has been appointed vice-chair- man of the National Athletic Union wrestling committee, In Brief Accounts of social events and of visitors to and from the Marg ber of+the faculty of the Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, has just recovered from a serious attack of the flu. She is expected to return here this week-end to resume her duties at the College. L 2 J The delicious and Spine array of Home Baking at the sale, on Fri- day afternoon sponsored by the Dundas Street Home and School Association, attracted many would be buyers, who soon purchased all there was and wished that there was more. The display of candy made by the members caught the children's eye, who also did their share to bring the proceeds up to a very gratifying amount, Former District Resident Passes In Toronto A well known former district resi- dent, Robert Edwin Ormiston, died at his home, 31 Queensdale Ave, Toronto, on Friday, January 23. Mr. Ormiston was born on the seventh concession, East Whitby Township, on the farm his grandfather, Robert Ormiston, settled in the early 1840's. A son of John Ormiston and Betica Lawrence, he received his education at the Columbus Public School. He lived on the homestead with his parents until they died and then he carried on the homestead for a few years with his brother Law- rence. Following the sale of stock and implements Robert went to To- ronto and soon after married Edith Ross, of Columbus. Surviving are three daughters Mrs, Cecil Bowden (Mary), Mrs. A. Abbott (Jean) and Mrs, P. Paine (Laura). His sister, Mary Ormiston, died as a girl in the winter of 1801. One brother, Lawrence, of Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio. The late Mr. Ormiston is descend- ed from two well known and re- spected Scotch families now settled in East Whitby. Resting at the Trull Funeral Home, 1111 Danforth Ave. Toronto, interment will be in the Erskine Cemetery, Dunbarton, with the ser- vice commencing at 11 am. Takes His Coffin To Native China Vancouver (CP).--Ah Tse Wu, now 86 and none too firm of step, is on his way back to China carry- ing his belongings in a coffin pre- sented to him 10 years ago by a pepliew: " He was one of the young coolies who landed in Canada and work- Led on eonstruction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He has not been back to his native land since. Ah Tse Wu has no son, but a nephew in Canton whom he edu- cated took over a son's duties and gladdened his heart by sending him a beautiful, hand-made coffin which was Ah's greatest treasure. It stood in his little Chinatown room here, was polished to a bright sheen daily, and shown to every visitor. Finally Ah succeeded in acquir- ing enough money to pay for passage home. He placed his few possessions in the casket, gave it a final polishing and has a special box made, lined with cotton wool and rags to prevent scratching, to go around it. After buying a few presents for his white friends here, he set out on his long journey. Times-Gazette classified ads pay ~--Why not try one .oday.

(Jan.26,Feb2,9) Toronto Diggins In Action Against Legionnaires Here Whitby's hard working Legion Hockey Club will swing into action again this evening against the Dig- gin's Jewellers Hockey Club of To- ronto. Tonight's game will mark the fifth game in eight days for the Legion club but following the game the team will be idle until next week. Despite Friday evening's toll tak- ing struggle against the League leading Markham Millionaires dur- ing which Tod Lintner and Dick Chad were injured, Coach Doug Maundrell hopes to have a well con- ditioned team in action tonight. The big question mark appears to be in the goal tending 'department where both Burkhart and Chad are suffering slight but painful injuries. Burkhart has several stitches in his finger as a result of an industrial accident and Chad has a badly bruised arm as a result of miscalcu- Tonight -- Rubber Match dation in stopping a puck. Lintner, the third man on the injured list, is nursing a badly bruise¢ wrist re- ceived in the Markham game. Whitby has beaten and has been beaten by the Diggins crew and to- night will take the form of a rub. ber match. The homesters' victory was scored in the first game of the current season here while Diggins turned back the Legionnaires in a return engagement last week. Coach Maundrell has not released the starting lineups for tonight's game .but if neither Burkhart or Chad can play between the pipes it is likely that Larry Heffering, big defence star, will undertake to do the job. Hefering played the third period in Markham on Friday night and although he was beaten four times he didn't look bad on any of the shots that trickled by him. Whitby Gun Club Seen Possibility The possibility of re-forming the inactive Whitby Rifle Club was ex- pressed over the weekend by Gor- don McMahon, Whitby Recreational Director, providing there is still enough interests among local citi- zens to warrant this step. Mr. Mc- Mahon has made several enquiries concerning such a step and the re- sults obtained are very encourag- ing, "Many former members of the club, which was disbanded when the armouries were closed here, have long regretted the fact that they are no longer able to continue their favourite pastime" he said, "and now we find that there is a very good chance of us being able to re-organize the club and get it going once again." "There is no doubt that consider- able interest still lies in the town and this is demonstrated by the numerous comments passed among former members and the enquiries that have already been made as to the possibilities of such a step," he added. A suitable range will probably be available for target shooting if the interest is available and any and all former members of the local club and any additional interested par- ties are urged to contact Mr, Mec- Mahon 'or Robert Deverell immed- iately, Big Market in East For Canadian Goods Victoria (CP).--There is a great potential - market in China for Canadian goods, in the opinion of Lee Kim, prominent- Chinese busi- ness man who recently returned from a trip to the Orient. "Japan is making a bid to cap- ture the Honk Kong market," he said in an interview, "and all sorts of Japanese goods similar to those sold in pre-war days have appear- ed there, There are little bits of sveryihing such as clothing, toys and textiles, "That market is also flooded with American Fonds of all sorts. The most startling thing about this United States merchandise is that it is being sold at lower prices than in Victoria." Mr. Kim, who visited Hong Kong to survey business prospects be- tween the Crown colony and Can- ada, said there was a great chance for Canada there. "China is fa need of flour and lumber. We are in a better position to supply these products than the United States." He said that hundreds of Chin. ese who left Canada to visit rela=- tives or settle down in their na- tive land were anxious to return to Canada because of the high cost of living. Hard-saved earnings of repatri- ated Chinese were not going far in Hong Kong and many had been obliged to return to their native villages to farm in order to make ends meet. Before the war, cof- fee and toast cost about three cents Canadian and now it was 45 cents. "Wealth in the interior of China is measured by the amount of rice erson may have," Mr, Kim said. "Food is what counts, "I've travelled quite a bit and from what I've seen, Canada is still the best place to live in. I w~uldn't change it for anything." HIGH PRICES Vancouver -- (CP) -- Tahit!, once famed as refuge from civilization's economic ills, has been hit by ine flation, officers of the steamship Walkawa reported on arrival here.
