h | of FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE v wa 'PAGE THREE Link With Italian Communists Uncovered In Montreal -- Canada Asks U.K. Take More Meats As Sales Dip Here By R. K. Carnegie Canadian Press Staff Writer : Ottawa, Feb. 13 (CP)--A consumption of beef and pork has led to a re-opening of the Dominion's meat contracts with the United Kingdom and meat-hungry Britons may soon see greater stocks coming from Canada if financial arrangements can be worked out. sharp reduction in Canadian L 4 out, January figures, placed in the hands of Agriculture Minister Gar- diner this week snowed Canadian housewives had cut their purchases of beef and pork sharply. Officials were not prepared to say what! part of the reduction was due to con- sumer reaction to higher prices and what part igh be due to stock- iling far-see! persons. Me the reduced buying, coupled with an unexpected increase in the keting of both hogs and cate dross Canada, has resulted ina us. The present bacon-beef contracts with Britain envisage Canada send- ing Britain 45,000,000 pounds of ba- con and 8,000,000 pounds of beef in the first quarter of this year. But at the present rate packers are turning over meat to the board which handles the shipments, these figures could be greatly exceeded. Because of this, negotiations now are under way with the British Food Ministry to see what can be done about it. Britain wants the extra meet but the problem is how to pay for it. However, Mr. Gardiner said to- day he did not think the situation would cause any unsurmountable difficulty. It would perhaps require and additional $5,000,000 to pay for the increased shipments. The Unit- ed Kingdom could possibly provide that pr Canada could allow her to increase here deductions from the Canadian loan by that amount. Fingnce Minister Abbott an- nounced recently that Britain had undertaken to pay in United States dotlars for all her adverse trade balance in the first three months of + this year in excess of the $45,000,000 which she could draw from the Ca~ nadian loan. This covered the en- tire range of purchases, including wheat, base metals and lumber, in addition to foods. It is understood that Britain planned to spend $30,000,000 in Ca- nada in the quarter for meats, eggs, and cheese, using a small portion from her crzdits and paying for the remainder in goods exported to Ca- nada and in United States dollars, This amount would Ite increased if Britain takes all the bacon and beef Canada can ship. It is possible that shipments of eggs in powder form, which may be easily stored, may be held back, and the extra meat shipped instead.

As the result of a sugestion by Ald. Evelyn Bateman that the city undertake this work, a delegation had visited Peterborough where a system has been in force for a number of years. Reporting last night on the information received from Peterborough officials, City Engineer W. T. Dempsey said the clearing there was done mainly by horse-drawn plows and contracts were let for the work. The walks were to be cleared by 'nine o'clock in the morning and in the event of snowfall during the day, to be plowed as soon as possible, He said the method was not con. sidered entirely satisfactory be. cause of the amount of snow left on the sidewalks, This caused considerable slush in the spring and also more sand for sanding. Mayor McCallum said the feeling in larger centres such as Ottawa and Montreal -was that a suitable machine had not yet been develop- ed to clear walks properly. After considerable discussion, during which Ald. Bateman urged that the benefits of such an un. deriaiing would outweigh its dis. advantages, it was decided to take no action at the present. Mean. while, however, the engineer's de- partment was to watch for further developments in machinery of this type. Police Investigate Hold-up Attempt Toronto, Feb. 13--(CP) -- Philip Feder, brother of Manny Feder the late "King of Toronto bookies,"-- sald last night that two unmasked men forced their way into his north suburban Forest Hill Village home in an attempted holdup and that he routed them with the help of his three young children.

The children, hearing the com. motion in the hallway, came to the aid of their father. Their blows and screams, as Feder scuffled with -the intruders, frightened the men.
