WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE NINE i 2 2 sh PAGE Oshawa Bargain Days Thursday, Friday Saturday Today's Short Story i MONEY FOR LOVE By Louis Arthur Cunningham GR reporters are the bunk," growled Harrima., the crime expert, in the ne's-room of the Comet, The pulsing presses that shook the building getting out the last edition brought the toil- ers under the eye-shades a pleas- urable sense of rest after hard work well done. It was the ac- ceptable time for airing theories and grievances. "As 1 was saying," continued Harriman, "women in journalism end men in dress-making are one and the same. Now if Brickley, ordinarily a half-inielligent city editor, had shown any sense, we wouldn't be having this Alicia Delano around, making the news- room a place where you can't swear and , , "I love you, Dale," sald Alicia, solemnly, "Crab!" interrupted Dale Harmsworth, a fresk _oung re- porter. Dale had known Harri- man long enough to be in proper awe of the great man. But Dale had known Alicia Delaro long enough to be in love with her. He was her staunch defender in the group of married newspapermen., Alicia's recent' advent into the Comet reportorial circles, » trag- edy to them, was a godsend to Dale. Life, for him, took on a rosy tint, Further discussion of Alicia was postponed by the turbulent entry of tile city editor, Brickley. His derisive ey. swept the crowd. "Well, my merry mor- ons," he jeerea. "Extend your cobwebbed ears to this: The Prince Bartholdi, a wealthy Ro- man, has arrived in this city of sin. He is seeking his daughter, a runaway princes. Seems the lady objected to her father's idca of 'a husband. The old boy offers the modest sum of fifty thousand to the one who finds his little Mariana, W 're going to get her for the greater glory of the Comet. It's a general alarm. Here's a picture oi the rene- gade." As they clustered around a slim, quiet girl entered and walk- ed over to stand beside Dale Harmsworth. "Golden hair," orated Brick. "Unbobbed, plaited, pleated and piled. Some crown, you'll agree. The picture shows her queenly face none too well, so we can't tell if she's knock-kneed; but the presumption is that she is not." "What do you Alicia?" asked Dale, discovering his lovely neighbor and quickly telling her what it was all about. "Fifty thousand dollars!" he sighed, "Just imagine, Alicia, what one could do with that, Why ..." Later, when he had her alone in the secluded corner of their favorite restaurant, he took a deep breath. "I'm going after that money," he declared deter- minedly, "I need it, and if , . , if I get it... Alicia, darling, have I ever told you tha. I love you? If I get the money will you , , , marry me?" The girl smiled and raised her head. There was something in the warm blue eyes and the set of the lovely mouth, framed by her reddish hair, that made tke palm tree behind her dance a madrigal before Dale's dreaming eyes. "I love you, Dale," said Alicia, solemnly. "I will marry you." Then she twinkled, "Let's do it right away." Dale and Alicia were married that week and their radiant younZ faces in the newsroom ad- vertised their happiness. The marriage, however, they kept secret, although they managed to find a small apartment, to be furnished with their joint save ings. But how to keep it was a puzzle, unless Dale discovered the princess. "It seems a hopeless task, Alicia," lamented Dale, "Every- body's giving up. This Princess Mariana is the best little hider imaginable." "You'll find her to-morrow, Dale," whispered Alicia, her cheek against his, "I just know you will, But . . . but suppose when you do sie begs you not to give her away? You know what it would mean . . , that she must marry a man sh hates. Would you sell her for fifty thousand dollars?" "It's your happiness against hers." She pulled his ear teasingly. "Don't worry. Things will look different in the morning." Alicia was a prophetess. Dale awoke to find a strange girl sit- ting at the foot of the bed, The' morning sunlight was no more golden than her hair. Her eyes uanced with mischief, "What . . what , . , Alicia?" "I told you things would be dif- ferent in the morning. But it is still Alicia . .. minus the air dye . « « Mariana Alicia Delano di Bartholdi . . . Mrs, Dale Harms- worth, My mother was an Amer- ican. So I don't mind if you tell on me now, Dale, but be sure and get the money from dad before you mention that I'm your wife. We need it for our honeymoon." think of it, . hh hi Do you know about "C.R.A. and what it ih means to a, you?" The people of Oshawa and district are invited to the official opening of the Community Recreation Association Headquarters Building, 100 Gibbs HTT Street, next Saturday, January 31. A brief dedica- tion ceremony will be held. There will be "Open se" with a chance to see the recreation facilities this "many purpose" building offers. Can't Let World Go By, They Say The economic health of the world has a direct bearing on the welfare of the Canadian farmer, according to a resolution on the ILF.A.P. pass- ed by the annual meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in Toronto this month. International Federation Whereas it is becoming more and more apparent that our whole ec- onomic and social position at home is dependent on world trade and international relationships; Whereas Canadian farmers, through their dependence on ex- port markets, have a particular in- terest in world economic stability: Whereas the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, through the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, has joined with agricultural organiza- tions in other countries in the for- mation of the International Fed- eration of Agricultural Producers; And whereas the general prin- ciples forming the basis of ILF.AP. policy are as follows: 1, It is necessary to extend agri- cultural production. to meet con- sumer needs based on at least a minimum nutritional health stand- ard. 2. It is imperative that there should be an international examin- ation of annual agricultural pro- duction programs for the ensuing year, and as far ahead as possible, These programs should be integrat- ed to prevent scarcities in some nommodities and surpluses in oth- ers, and to ensure that, so far as is practical, adjustments can be made to meet world consumption require- ments without serious disturbance to the rural economy of nations, 3. While international competi- tion encourages efficiency and Is therefore desirable, such competi- tion should not be so unrestrained as to endanger the position of pro- ducers or. nations who do not have speedy access to capital, mechaniza- tion or inorganic fertilizers. 4. Emphasis should be laid on the need to 'create an orderly system of handling and distributing the tem- porary surpluses which may. result from the production drive to meet the present world food require- ments, 5. The provision of food from whatever source for the attainment of 'a health standard of a given country must be the responsibility of the government and the people of that country. It is the farmer's duty and responsibility so far as lies in his power, by means of effi- cient production and marketing, to produce and p te available his The ARCADE ANNOUNCES EXTRAORDINARY VALUES FOR SHOPPING DAYS!

For agriculture to function ef- ficiently those engaged in the in- dustry whether employers or em- ployees, must have the opportunity to earn remuneration comparable with that of others of equal capacity. Financial returns to people engaged in the agricultural industry must not be at the expense of depletion of soil fertility, exploitation of la- bor, or neglect of capital equipment required for efficient production. And whereas these principles in- dicate general policy to be followed, including a national action program for member organizations, within their own country, actions to be taken directly by IF.AP. and LF.AP's relationship to the Food and Agricultural Organization and the International Trade Organiza- tion; Therefore be it resolved that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture pledges its support and reccmmends that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture continue its full sup- port to the objectives of the Inter- national Federation of Agricultural Producers. And in order to secure effective participation in the activities of the IF.AP. the Ontario Federation of Agriculture recommends to its member organizations a continu- ing study of world trade, food and agricultural problems. Won't Play Marbles Supporting this resolution, Paul Fisher, Burlington, said: "I am one who believes that we never should enter a depression again merely be- cause some monetary lord says we haven't the money. Today Britain has more money than she ever had, yet we won't accept it, and so we can't play marbles with her." BECAME STATE IN 1922 Britain recognized Egypt as.a sovereign independent state in 1922, Will Inform Consumers On Farm Products Prices Aprointment of a committee to investigate consumer prices of food products and to offer correct infor- mation to ,consumers concerning prices received for farm products wal authorized by the three-day an- nual meeting of the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture held in Toron- to on Jan, 7, 8 and 9. The resolution, presented on be- half of Kent county Federation of Agriculture, states that consumers are led to believe that any increase in the price of food to the consu- mer is directly brought about by an increase in price charged by the primary producer; that this tends to create an unfavorable reaction. ADMISSION -- A MINCE PIE Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, Eng- land--("P) -- Admission to a Christmas party here was by mince pie, except where "hardship" could be proved in obtaining ingredients for the pies. Then a small cake was accepted instead. Year-Round Price "Any move to guarantee both pro- ducer and consumer a year-round price for butter would, I believe, be welcomed by Ontario's 70,000 cream producers, even if the year-round price began in this high-cost winter production period when farmers would suffer an initial loss," R. W. Morrison, Alvinston, Secretary of the Ontario Cream Prcducers' As- sociation, said in a statement issued immediately prior to the announce- ment of the ceiling on butter. "To reduce the price of butter now without any summer compensa- tion would be to reduce production and create a shortage that might be serious enough this winter and disastrous next winter," said Mr. Morrison, "The primary reason for the recent advances in the price of butter is the extremely strong con- sumer demand against a butter sup- ply largely produced last summer when prices were too low in rela. tion to year-round costs: "A secondary reason is the farm producer's ggvancing costs. Feed- ing costs have advanced by well over 50 percent since last September, and, due to the cold, wet backward spring last year, our farmers have been buying more of their feed than usual, Measured in other commo- dities, either the other commodities which the consumer must buy or the commodities which the farmer must buy, butter has not advanced in price. "Butter is still a. good buy," said Mr. Morrison, "Dairy products are the best value which the housewife gets for her dollar today, with the cream or butter producer the most poorly paid of all dairy producers. The greatest disservice which con- sumers could perform for them- Is Butter Proposal selves right now would be to ask for government action which divert= ed milk into other dairy products or drove farmers out of dairy produc- tion entirely. Some milk is going to be diverted anyway from butter to cheese production as a result of the recent increase in the British price for Canadian cheese. Year.Round Price "If consumers ask for a roll-back ceiling on butter they should in their own interests ask that such price be established as a year-round . serious shortage of butter before spring, and again next winter. A ceiling without a floor would dislo- cate supply and demand, and cre- ate a distribution preblem which might necessitate a return to rae tioning. A butter price ceiling by it- self is not enough. There has to be some compensation to the produce er--to induce him to remain in pro. duction. One-Way Control "Such one-way control would bring only temporary advantage to the consumer. There is a ceiling on butter now, created by the price of cheese and other dairy products. If the butter price were to advance out of line with cheese, milk would be diverted from cheese production to butter production .and hold butter down. Similarly, consumer demand puts a floor under the price of but- ter, and consumers have it in their power to let the price down by re. ducing their purchases. So there is a good deal of control over the price of utter now. Any more defi- nite control should be in a form which would be in the interests of both producers and consumers, such as the year-round price which I have suggested."
