TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 'Washington Directs Our Dollar Policy' Rotarians Hear Plea To Conserve Electric Power "Users of electricity can do the province a real service if they will do everything in their power to eliminate the wasteful use of this commodity. The turning out of one light in one house will not help but the turning out of one light in 800,000 houses will make it possible for us to maintain our high employment in-® dex and assure the continued pros- erity and expansion of the prov- ince," declared W. Ross Strike, a member of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario, in his address to the members of the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. Mr. Strike declared that an ad- ditional million horsepower would be available in the next three years with the opening of new plants. As compared with 18 months ago, the num*x » of men employed by the covam.ssion has risen from 5,000 40 12,000; while the power load has doubled in the past 10 years. Demand Up 25 Per Cent Reg .rding the current shortage of electricity, it was pointed out that the demand has increased 26 er cent since the war, over the wartime peak. This year the Commission hopes to bring an additional 100,000 kilowatt hours into the Southern Ontario system. As normal yearly expansion is es- timated at 60,000 K.W. this will leave a surplus of 40,000 K.W. for expansion. For this reason the Commission is not discouraging the securing of new industries by mu- nicipalities. At the same time, the Commission in the spring will in- augurate an ambitious program of rural expansion. Mr. Strike recalled that hydro had its start in Kitchener where industrialists conceived the idea of municipalities buying their own systems. This was at a time when there was one generating station at Niagara Falls generating 100,- 000 horsepower. It was proposed that the government should buy the transmission lines and guar- antee the bonds of the municipali- ties so they could buy their own systems. Before World War I there was only one other publicly-owned sys- tem in operation in the province-- that being .in the Georgian Bay district where power was generat- ed at Eugenia. The Queenston plant, with a generating capacity of 500,000 horsepower, was built during the war. In Eastern On- tario a number of privately owned generating plants had been built on the Trent River. These were pur- chased and Hydro operated the municipal systems as trustee. Advantages of Public Ownership At present there are 900 munici- palities in the province served by the H.E.P.C. with a little over two million horsepower being consum- ed. Such a large scale operation would not be possible under pri- vate ownership as all the Ontario systems are tied together permit- ting the sending of additional power to the section where it is needed. As the main Ontario gen- erating sites are located on boun- dary waters, government depart- ments must also enter the picture. Another factor contributing to the growth of Hydro in Ontario is the fact that it has been free of taxation except for the lands used. This permits money to be ploughed back into the system for expan- sion, renewals and to keep rates low. Due to the low rates Ontario consumers use twice as much per capita as the United States and four times as much as England. Ontario's saturation of ap liances is the greatest in the world. It can be readily seen, therefore, that the lack of taxation has béen a contributing factor to the pros- perity and expansion of the prov- ince. At the same time, the cheap- ness of electricity has contributed to the present shortage through its wasteful use. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian T. K. Creighton, K.C,, M.L.A., while the thanks of the meeting was voiced by President J. Norval Willson. Over-All Receipts $19,658 At St. George's Church, Building Fund Now $11,000 Along with an appeal by the rec. tor for .a fuller realization practice of Christian stewardship on the part of the congregation generally, the vestry of St. George's Anglican Church last night heard reports which showed a grand to- tal of $19,658 raised in the parish during 1947, of which $3,522 was for missionary and extra-parochial purposes. During the year, also, the sum of $3,387.75 was added to the par- ish hall building fund, bringing the fund to over $11,000, It was an- nounced that the firm of Page and Steele had been engaged as archi- tects for this project and a special vestry meeting would be called in the near future to approve plan for the proposed bujamg and dr lans for a campaign. rhe church wardens' financial statement showed that offerings during the year totalled $9,240.92 and expenditures amounted to $9,- 53922. The meeting authorized a budget of $10,060 for parish expen- ditures during the coming year with $2,530 for missionary and ex- tra-parochial allotments. The amount contributed by the church for this latter purpose dur. ing the past year was $2,550.61 in addition to $232.10 by the Sunday School and a total of $911.47 by the two branches of the Woman's Aux- iliary. During 1947 also, $3,368.72 was received for the Anglican Advance Appeal bringing receipts to date in this campaign begun two years ago to $18,216.42. Of this amount, $4,000 had been transferred to the parish hall fund. In his report, the rector, Rev. D. M. Rose, announced a net increase of 40 families to the parish list, bringing the total to 848 families, or some 2,500 individuals. There were 68 baptisms durifig the year, 3D marriages and 32 bur- ials, A total of 45 were confirmed-- 17 girls, 14 boys and 14 adults-- and 3,760 communions were made, a slight increase over the previous year, Curate Needed Mr. Rose stressed the need for a curate in order that the work of the parish might be carried out efficiently, the former curate, Rev. E. A, Justice, having been recalled from the parish early in the year. He was authorized by the meeting to investigate the possibility of ob- taining the services of a curate this year. Deploring the number of - "indif- ferent Anglicans", Mr, Rose said there were resources in the parish suffiglent for properly carrying out its work if these were put into ef- fect. Having been acting Superin. tendent of the Sunday School and teacher of a boys' class himself during the year, the rector appeal- ed for a lay superintendent and also several teachers for the Sun- day School. * He announced that Leon Nash, AT. CM. who had been named or- ganist and choirmaster following the resignation of Cecil A. Walker. A.C.C.O.,, would begin his duties next Sunday. Mrs. Hazel Corneal had been appointed to succeed Mr. and | tary. Walker as church wardens' secre- Mr. Rose suggested that commit- tee might be formed to assist those living a distance from the church in obtaining transportation to the services, He said the special ser- vices of Holy Communion with in- struction held at 9.30 a.m, the third Sunday of each month had met with gratifying response. These are particularly for those about to be confirmed and for newly confirm- ed members. New Rector's Warden Mr. Rose announced the appoint- ment of Harry A. Suddard as rec- tor"s warden for the coming year, expressing regret that W. E, Bake, rector"s warden for the past year and people's warden during the two previous years, had found it necessary to retire from the office. E. F. Farrow was re-elected as people's' warden and George Hart, C. A, Lamon and W. E. Baker lay representatives to the Synod. Ves- try representatives named for two. year terms on the parish Advisory Council were Mrs. F. J. Rundle, A. G. Hiltz and J. E. B. Shortt. Sidesmen elected by the vestry were J. Jackson, R. Joyce, O. Ma- gee, D. C. Moore, J. Shortt, L. Hind, D. Hall and 8S. Turner while those appointed by the rector were L. Beal, A, Ridgen, J. E. B. Shortt, G., MacGregor, L. French, W. Steer, G. Baker and G. Sheridan. Audi. tors for the year are C. H. Seaton and 8. T. Hopkins, Members of the Parochial Tribunal are C. C. Rich- ardson and J, B. Higgins. Guild Raised $2,583 Report of the Women's Guild showed total receipts of $2,583.81 during the year. The organization also holds $6,100 in bonds with a view to the parish hall project and a new sink ang electric stove had been purchased for the parish hall. The afternoon branch of the Wo. man's Auxiliary with 37 members, raised $513 during the year, con- tributing a large portion of this to missionary endeavours, In addition, the branch did considerable dorcas work, including sending a complete outfit to a boy in an Indian resi. dential school and a large box of Soning to the Save the Children The evening W. A. branch, with a membership of 26, raised $304.54. A complete outfit was sent to a boy in an Indian residential school, two bails Mere sent to the Bishop of Algoma for distribution among clergy and their families, two bails for Indians and settlers, and a box to the Save the Children Fund. A British family had also been "adopted" by the branch and feod parcels have been sent regularly. Sunday School receipts during the year amounted to $617 of which $141.75 was received in the Lenten mite boxes. Choir receipts totalled $161.64. The rector was chairman of the meeting and Clive File was named vestry clerk for the evening, GIANT . BEARINGS .

Walter G. Corben, the People's Warden, who presented the finan- cial reports to the meeting, declar- ed that the balance sheets were the finest ever presented. Attention was also drawn to the fact that the parish had remitted $600 to the Sy- nod for Mission purposes -- an in- crease of $200 over the allotment set for the parish. A parish budget of $5000 and a mission allotment of $500 for this year were approved by the meeting. A vote of thanks was tendered to Rev. H. D. Cleverdon and Mrs. Cleverdon for their work and lead- ership during the year. In appreci- ation of his work, Mr. Cleverdon was voted an increase in salary. In the presentation of his report Mr. Corben stated that offerings during the yer had shown a mark- ed increase over 1946. Receipts in the general account totalled $5,439.- 36; while receipts in the mission ac- count amounted to $661.64. Re- ceipts of the mortgage account amounted to $647, while those of the building account totalled $9,132.16, It was also shown that the mort. gage on the church had been re- duced by approximately $1,000 dur- ing the year. Rector's Report In his report to the vestry, Mr. Cleverdon stated there were 420 confirmed persons in the parish and 300 communicants, During the year he performed 42 baptisms, 32 confirmations, 14 marriages and 12 burials, all of which were increases over the previous year. Special mention was made of the death during the year of Thomas Shields, Joseph Francis and Miss Ada Mary Corah, ; Reference was made to the fact that 1947 had been a great year for the parish as it had seen the open- ing and dedication by Archbishop D. T. Owen of the new church au- ditorium. Improvements had also been made to the surroundings of the church and to the rectory. Mr. Cleverdon drew attention also to the fact that the parish is grow- ing with the addition during the year of three new residential areas. He commended the parish upon the fact that it had exceeded its mis- sionary allocation and that sub- stantial sums had been paid on the mortgages on the church and rece tory. Special thanks were expressed to the Chancel Guild for its work and the fact that it is donating hang- ings for all the seasons, the first of which are expected to be ready for the Lenten Season. Mention was also made of the gifts of a reredos, a cross, a litany desk and a paint- ing received since the dedication of the church. These articles will be dedicated during the Easter sea- son. May Purchase Organ The organ committee, set up at last year's vestry meeting, was em- powered to consult with Casavant Freres, well known pipe organ man- ufacturers, with a view to securing information. relative to the instal- lation of a new pipe organ. The in- formation secured will be placed before a special vestry meeting to- gether with the committee's suggest- tions of ways and means of raising funds to finance the purchase, Arthur Evans, reporting for the Building Committee, stated that the new church had cost $27,743.86, of which $10,000 was raised by a mort- gage. A vote of appreciation was passed by the meeting of the work of the committee, *- Thomas Gill prescnted the report of the Bible class which ,had an RAISE. $14,700 (Continued on Page 12) Simcoe Hall Tops 35,000 As Year Sees Activities Expand A year which saw Simcoe Hall, Women's Welfare League settle- ment house, take on a new vigor as a centre of club activities for boys and girls was reviewed yesterday at the annual meeting of the league. Highlighted by a marked expan- sion in the boys' work, this yedr brought an over-all attendance of 35350 at Simcoe Hall. This in- cluded attendance at the branch of the Public Library there which had a total circulation of 2,427. Mrs. F. N. McCallum was re- elected president of the Women's Welfare League for the fifth term and a hearty vote of appreciation was extended to her, along with the retiring treasurer, , Mrs, K. H Braithwaite, and Mrs. H. P. Hart, a former president, who is retiring as convener of the clubs commit- tee, Attendance Rise The girls work report, presented by Miss Anne Wilkes, chief social worker since September, showed an attendance of 15,291 during the fin- al four months, the number attend- ing October and December being close to double that of any prev- ious month during the year. The figure rose from 1,285 in Septem- ber to 4,412 in October, 4,737 in No- vember and 4,291 in December. The largest month previously had been May with an attendance of 2,429. In addition to the work among the school-age boys and girls, a nursery school had been conduct- ed five mornings a week with a re- gistration at the present time of 72. This had risen at one point to 80. Attendance! The registration is divided into two groups which attend on alter- nate days. During November, an inspector from the Ontario Departments of Welfare, Miss Marian Gibson, ine spected the nursery school facili- ties and expressed the view that bye and large these were adequate | if registration were allowed to drop | to not more than 30 in each group. Four different clubs for girls from six to 15 years of age were con- ducted in which activities such as arts and crafts were emphasized, rather than straight club procedure. These were highlighted by an open house during the Christmas season which was attended by more than 60 parents. Parties were also held for the nursery school groups, the two younger clubs, the older groups and the music pupils gave | a recital, Total registration in the clubs was 101 and 15 enrolled in a speech training class, 23 taking piano les- sons, 25 in a weekly art group, 11 in a newly-formed glee club and 25 in a dressmaking class. Boys Work Up The new boys' work supervisor, Harold W. McNeil, reported a steady rise in attendance among the boys, and from 498 in Septem- ber to 919 in Octobér, 1,104 in No- vember and 1,235 in December. Activities included sports, wood- working, cloth craft work, crystal radio building, art, stamp and coin SIMCOE HALL (Continued on Page 12) Higher Living Costs Reduce Contributions The opinion that increased liv- ing costs have a direct reaction on the church by tending to lower family contributions while the gen. eral expenses of the church follow the trend of higher prices was ex- pressed last night by Rev] E. H. McLellan, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, at the annual vestry meeting. "There is no doubt that many parishes have "felt the pinch through the rising cost of living," Mr, McLellan said, "It seems to give the people a of frustra- tion, even differen! than that which was noticeable during the war when everyone accepted con- ditions and felt they must do their best to face them. We find church contributions dropping off while general expenses of the church ad- vance just as do expenses in the homes. We pay more for our ser- vices now, more for materials needed for repairs." Mr, McLellan said that one item on the $3,956.70 list of expenditures for 1947 was the synod assessment of $85.79. The church would have 'to budget $100.82 for the synod as- sessment in 1948, 'he said, simply because under the usual trend it was found necessary to pay more for clerical service in synod offices, This was one example of rising costs among many others, he said. In submitting his report, the Rector said the congregation had dropped from 190 families in 1946 to 144 families in 1947. He said the church had about 200 active com- municants, slightly up over the previous year. But average attend- ance had: fallen off somewhat to about 65. J Mr, McLellan said the Men's Club had helped in reducing ex- penses of the church by taking over a good measure of the repair work, especially in the parish hall while the ladies had contributed in work and money to fit the kitchen with a stove and sink. Budget for 19048 was set at $3, 523.00, slightly below that of 1947. In speaking on the proposed bud- get, the Rector pointed out that envelope contributions were $560 less during 1947 than in 1946. The elvelope secretary had reported contributions in the red (mission- ary) side of the duplex envelopes at $309.31 for the year, $60 less than in 1946, Contributions on the black side (general) were $1,596.16, $500 less than for the previous year, Duty To Church "This is despite the fact that in a lot of cases salaries are going up. But so are living costs and it seems one off-sets the other and the church feels the pinch. We should all remember that our first duty is to the church," Mr, McLellan said. Although . the warden's report showed expenditures of $3,956.70 for 1947 with a balance in the bank as of Dec. 31, 1947, of $15.20 it was pointed out by Thomas An- derson, Rector's Warden, that ac- tually there was an outstanding debt of some $200 over this amount, The maintenance account show- ed expenditures of $622.82 for the year, including $106.22 in carpenter fees for repairs to the pulpit and steps, and $48.97 for new window screens made 'necessary through vandalism by small boys in the neighborhood using windows as catapult targets. The Missions and Extra-Paro- chial account for 1947, which in- tluded such services as synod al- lotments, church extension fund, pension fund, etc. showed expendi- tures of $611.51, The church school account was listed at $302.80. Report of the Women's Auxiliary showed expenditures of $994.59, much of which had been raised through dinners, rummage sales, teas and home cooking sales. The Women's Guild ral considerable through rummage s#les, socials and sewing and listed $472.76. Men's Club report showed that expenditures of $38.15 had been CHURCH DONATIONS (Continued on Page 2). VISITORS AT ROTARY Visitors at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club yester- day included M. Ryter of Peterbor- ough, H. F. Baldwin and R. A. Huestis of Oshawa, Ralph Bertram and Messrs Storrer and Muir of Toronto and Rotarian Bill Tennant Charge In H Green Says Trade Bossed From U.S.; Denied By . Abbott By D'Arcy O'Donnell Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Jan. 27 (CP)--The government's dollar-saving: program drew an almost steady stream of criticism from op- position benches in the Commons yesterday as members reconvened following the Christmas recess, and amid the barrage was a charge that the government was taking orders from Washington, 'The charge, quickly denied by Fi- nance Minister Abbott, was made by Howard Green (PC--Vancouver South), who added that "no Canad- ian government since Confederation has ever gone so far towards taking orders from the government of an- other country." "That is rubbish" retorted Mr. Ab- bett. "We take no orders from any- one." Mr. Green's charge came after he sald that the policy of extending to Britain and other countries the import restrictions being imposed against the United States "obvious- ly was designed by Washington or was designed to curry favor in Washington." This non-discriminatory policy showed "an amazing subservience to the United States," he said. When the last Conservative govern- ment was in power there was "none of this kotowing and cringing to an- other country." Canadians were a proud people and now they were "being humiliated by their own gov- ernment." Among other speakers in the de- bate on continued second reading to the Foreign Exchange Conserva- tion bill were Harry Jackman (PC-- Toronto Rosedale), F. S. Zaplitny (C.CF~--Dauphin); Park Manross (PC--London); 'M. A. McMaster of Bowmanville, (PC--Toronto High Park); G. R. Pearkes, V.C., (PC--Nanaimo); and Harold * Timmins (PC--Toronto Parkdale). New Development The House opening brought these developments: 1. Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced that the special Com. mons committee to investigate hoar- ding and profiteering in the price field will be established within a week. . 2. John Bracken, Progressive Cone servative leader, unsuccessfully mo. ved that the House adjourn its ore dinary business to discuss the "sude den and unprecedented" increase in living costs. 3. Members adopted a motion set- ting Wednesdays and Thursdays aside for continuation of the Throne Speech debate and leaving the other three days open for study of the exchange conservation and other emergency measures, 4. Mr. King formally notified the House 'of his recent cabinet reshuf- fle and tabled correspondence on the resignation of former Veterans Minister Mackenzie, appointed to the Senate. 5.
