SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1948 N THE DAILY '"TIMES:GAZETTE PAGE R jo} Rotary Plans E Gov't Is Rapped For Holding Back Figure On Wheat By D'Arcy O'Donnell Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Feb. 28 (CP)--The government's wheat policies drew sharp opposition criticism in the Commons yesterday after Trade Minister Howe announced that the proposed increase in the initial wheat payment will not be made known until legislation now on the order paper becomes law.' The opposition opened their at-® tack by criticizing the government for refusing to disclose amount of the increase planned for western farmers. Terming this "political trickery," the members said the legislation was a typical "pre-elec- tion" measure. They went further and criticized some phases of the long-term wheat agreement with the United Kingdom and govern- ment plans for the future handling ins. i 3 ire Minister Gardiner, in reply, said the new bill would in- crease the initial wheat payment from $1.35 to at least $1.56 a bushel. He said the government planned to see that the Canadian farmer made as much under Cana- dian wheat policies as other farm- ers did under any other system. Mr. Howe, moving a resolution to a bill amending the Canadian Wheat Board Act, made these main ints: : i The government is taking the power, now held by parliament, to make periodic increases in the in- itial wheat payment. i i 2. The government, while taking wer to place the domestic mar- hh of barley and oats under the wheat board, will not use this au- thority--because of constitutienal barriers--until the Prairie Provin- ces have passed complementary legislation. . . : 8. The new legislation, in giving the wheat board control over wheat products as well as wheat, will strengthen control over the basic wheat situation. The board now has no control over the movenfent of wheat products across provincial boundaries. 4. A pension plan which the board will be authorized to establish will be similar to the civil service pen- sion system and will provide for equal contributions by employees and the board with the board's con- tribution being regarded as an expense item. . A. Ross (PC-Souris) moved an amendment that would provide for introduction of three bills, on each for the initial payment, the marketing of oats and barley and the pension plan. Mr. Gardiner expressed belief that the amendment, supported by C.C.F. and Social Credit party spokesmen, was out of order. He said it was an unheard-of thing fro a government to bring in three bills on one session to amend the same act. Such procedure would delay payment of the increased prices and possibly would mean untold hardship for some people, er speakers included T. J. Bentley (CCF-Swift Current); Douglas Harkess (PC-Calgary East); Jean Francois Pouliot (Ind.. L-Temiscouata); and Cal Miller (PC-Portage la Prairie). At the house opening, External Affairs Minister St; Laurent said that financial, diplomatic and eco- nomic relations between Canada and Czechoslovakia are under con- sideration in view of the political upheaval there, Justice Minister Ilsley said he expects to be able to announce later in the session the establish- ment of a commission to study re« vision of the criminal code, +, More Summonses Issued To Editors Of New Liberty Toronto, Feb, 28--A Royal Cana. dian Mounted Police constable serv. ed two summonses yesterday at the office of New Liberty magazine in cqunection with the trial of three Ontario residents on charges of conspiracy to publish libel, to be heard at Edmonton, April 5, Wallace Reyburn, editor of New Liberty, said he and Keith Knowl. ton of Toronto, an assistant editor were served with summonses to ap- bear at Edmonton as witnesses to 3ive evidence in the trial, Jack Kent Cooke of Toronto, pub- 'isher of the bagazine; Harold Jingman, its Ottawa correspondent, and Dr. Charlotte Whitton of Otta. wa, welfare worker, are the three charged by the Alberta Attorney. General, . The charges of conspiring to pub. lish a defamatory libel were laid after an article entitled Babies for Export appeared in New Liberty last Dec. 27. In preliminary hearings at Bd. monton, defense counsel said the article was based on a report of Al. berta welfare conditions prepared by Dr. Whitten, There is a possibility that John Diefenbaker, distinguished western lawyer and Progressive Conserva. tive member of the Commons for Lake Centre, Sask, may act for Dingman. Mr. Diefenbaker is un. derstood to be agreeable to appear. ing, but a final decision will not be made until later, In the Commons, Mr. Diefenba. ker has urged that the Criminal Code be tightened to prevent the laying of such a libel conspiracy charge as permitted - those accused in the New Liberty case to be tried in a province other than that of publication, > Living Costs Going On Up Bureau | Says Ottawa, Feb. 28--(CP) -- A new jump in the cost of living can be expected as a result of recent boost in the prices of meat, fuel oil and gasoline, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said today. In the'January issue of its Cana. dian Statistical Review, DBS re. views the general economic condi. tions of the month, featured by "a possible reversal of the trend in prices, a rise in interest rates, a forecast continuation of the boom in investment expenditures and a continued high level of ac. tivity though with some rise in un. employment." "At the start of the year," the publication continues, "the an. nouncement of higher prices on the British contracts for the purchase of bacon, beef, eggs and cheese was followed by sharp rises in meat pri. ces to the Canadian consumers. "At about the same time higher prices for fuel oil and gasoline were announced by a number of major oll companies. "These recent advances can be expected to cause some further rise | and Son Banquet, Rotary Easter Seal Committee Officers NORMAN J. MORAN Vice-Chairman WALTER R. BRANCH Chairman "4 ROBERT ARGO Treasurer First Stars To 4 Members 16th CubPack The members of the 16th Cub Pack were a very proud group of boys last night, It was the occa- sion of their first annual Father and Son banquet and when each member of the Pack rose to intro- duce his father the glow of pride which was his was most apparent. The dinner, held in the Sunday School Hall of Knox Presbyterian Church, was served by the mothers' auxiliary who did themselves proud with a most delicious meal, casion was also outstanding due to the presence of Harry Rigg, presi- dent of the Oshawa Boy Scout Lo- cal Association; Leonard C.

After a delicious lunch served by the Ladies' Auxil. iary of the 7th Oshawa Group, Pa. trol Leader Bill Stark proposed the toast to the King. The Troop confined entertain. ment to their own ranks this year, and so leading in the spirited sing- song which followed were Scouts Alan MacTavish, George MacGregor in the cost.of-living index which, [and Bill Tane, with Rover Scout by Jan, 1, 1948, had already reach. ed 1483, about 17 per ¢ent higher than its level a year earlier. "Rising prices were also evident at the wholesale level and the in. dex of industrial materials advan. ced almost two per cent during January." DBS cited as another important January development, the rise in the cost of long.term investment funds. "This rise came afier a year dur. ing which capital expenditures reached a record level with a fur. ther increase forecast for 1048. . . taking into-consideration the high. er prices now prevailing, this would indicate that the real volume of in. vesiment expenditures will continue at about the same level."

The ensemble also put on a short play or "skit" of a very humourous na. ture. Patrol Leader Jack Dalby pro. posed a toast to the Fathers at this point and this was responded to by Mr. Harold Gay, acting on behalf of the fathers present. Mr, Gay lamented the fact that during the war many sons lost their fathers, and so "many boys have no recollec. tions of their fathers." However, he said that "We are very fortunate in having events as this "where we can come into comradeship with our sons." Mr. Gay publicly thank- ed the Scoutmasters and Cubmas. ters and their assistants for the splendid job they had done in the past year, Mr. N. H. Ashley, the chairman of the group committee, spoke at this time, and introduced the spe. clal guests of the evening, who were: District Cubmaster Lynda Fairhart, District Scoutmaster Ed. ward Alker, and Mr. A. Conlin, 2nd Vice-President of the Oshawa Boy Scouts Local Association. At this time Mr. Ashley brought to the attention of all "7th fathers the report of the nominating com. mittee, who had appointed the fol. lowing as group executives of the 7th group committee. They are as follows: Mr. N. H. Ashley, chair. man; Mr, Fred Douglas, vice-chair. man; Mr, K. Essery, secretary. treasurer. Mr. Rose Speaks Rev. D. M. Rose, Tth Group chap. lain, came next on the speakers' list and he applauded the group's amazing growth in the past twelve months, He congratulated Scout. master Alton Dunk on his splendid accomplishments in directing the troop even when he was sick. Cubmaster I. Grahame of the 7th "A" Pack presented her yearly re- port and introduced her assistants. She reported a total membership of her Pack of 32 boys, of whom 28 were registered Cubs and four new Chums, She reported a wiener roast held at Camp Samac last year as an example of the year's activities, Cubmaster Mrs. H. Duffield also had an interesting report to give. After presenting her ° assistants, Mrs. Duffield revealed that she had a total membership of 40, of whom 35 were registered Wolf Cubs and five New Chums. Reporting that the Pack had entered into many outdoors as well as indoors activi. ties, she added that six competitions had been conducted throughout the year and spoke optimistically of the future, The program continued with a very proficiently played piano solo by Rover Squire Leonard Witterick, Scoutmaster Alton Dunk contin. ued the annual reports with an out. standing mass of information. Re- porting that the Troop consisted of 47 boys and 11 honourary members, he pointed out that these boys had attended 41 organized meetings in the past year. He also pointed out that the Troop had engaged in a Bronze Arrowhead Camp at their Troop Cabin. He recalled the visit to Rochester with 28 boys and three leaders and the fine time given them there by the 19th (Tay House) Scout Troop, of Rochester. He re. vealed that the Troop had entered two full periods at the first Oshawa Jamboree, and two boys in the Sil. ver Arrowhead Award Camp. Once more he brought back to the fath. ers and guests the internationality of Scouting by recalling the return visit of the 19th Rochester Troop to Oshawa at Thanksgiving, when 30 American Scouts and two of their leaders enjoyed the 7th's hos- pitality in Oshawa. Leader Commended Mr. Dunk introduced his 'assist. ants, who were: ASM.'s Collard, Smith, MacLean and Baker. Mr. Dunk commended Troop Leader Douglas McKay on .his splendid energy and spirit in keeping up the planned Troop Progress programme of the 7th Troop. He also com. mended Patrol Leaders Alan Essery, Jack Dalby, Bill Stark, Don Clarke, Hugh Shields and Ron McKee on their splendid work, Turning to a very pressing ques. tion, Mr. Dunk emphatically called on the fathers to provide the older or honourary Scouts with a full con- tinuation of Scouting in the form of Rovering. Referring to the Troop as being "unbalanced," Mr. Dunk asked the fathers t appoint a Rover Leader so that a Crew might be formed. (Rovering is Baden.Pow. ell's answer to the older Scout who wishes to continue the exciting and preparatory training initiated in the boy by Cubbing and then Scouting. Baden.Powell's training for these boys is a continuation of Scouting but relating more closely to citizen- ship and maturity.) At this time the assemblage was delighted to hear Troop Leader Doug McKay in his impersonation physically and vocally of Al Jolson. Singing "Mammy," "You Made Me Love You," and "Carolina in the Morning." Troop Leader McKay entertained the audience. Mrs, J. Kemp was the accompanist at this time. This was followed by Len Witterick at the plano, this time the selection being: "Bumble Boo. gie." . At the request of all present, Patrol Leader Second Jim Ashley told several very humourous stories that were tumultuously accepted by the audience. Tells of Trip The main speaker of the evening was Scoutmaster Lee Campbell of the 10th Toronto Scout Troop, who was the Scoutmaster of the Cana. dian contingent to the World Jam. bree which was held last summer at Moisson, France. Mr. Campbell described different stages of the trip, and illustrated his very descriptive talk with souvenirs and' a two.reel movie, depicting scenes during the trip. Mr. Campbell was very con. cise in his report to the Scouts and painted some very realistic pictures for the Scouts and their fathers. | After the address by S.M.

In his remarks, Mr. Rigg com- mented that it was such occasions which made sons proud of their fa- thers, and their fathers wish they were young again. Scouting, he said, had become a big movement not only in Oshawa but throughout the world. Oshawa had been most fortunate in the assistance given to Scouting. Many of the things done for Scouting locally would never have been dreamed of years ago, Mr. Rigg made special mention of Camp Samac and the facilities af- fords for Scout and Cub work. Mr. Knight, in his remarks, con- gratulated the 16th Cub Pack on the progress made during its first year in existence and explained the Cub law and what it means in the development of youth.

The oc- | aster Seal Drive To Aid Crippled Children Week Of March 1 Set For Campaign To Help Society "Next week we will appeal to the citizens of Oshawa | and district for support in connection with our crippled | child en in a campaign similar to that which we carried on | Seal Committee of the Rotary Club of Oshawa, campaign is carried on in associ-® | ation with the Ontario Society for | Crippled Children," he said, "and | we will forward letters and Easter | Seals to several thousand citizens | next week and it is our 'sincere | hope that the citizens generally will be generous in their returns." - "The people of Oshawa and Dis- trict should know," said Mr. "Branch, "that this is an Ontario wide campaign with which the Ro- tary Club is affiliated. There are, for instance, 50,000,000 Easter Seals to blanket this province in the aid of the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children. This is an annual drive and will take place between March 1 and March 28 during the Easter season." Aiding the drive are 96 service clubs in leading Ontario centres who will participate by selling seals in their area. "Money raised this way last year gave direct results with more nur- ses and orthopedic consultants being placed on a full time basis in the field, I am informed," said Mr, Branch, "by Reg. W. Hopper, Ex- ecutive Director and a veteran of 25 years' social work. Every crip- pled child, regardless of race, color or creed, deserves a chance, The Society is pledged to eliminate crippling conditions and to this effect is backed by 180 Ontario Service Clubs who find cases and follow through to help alleviate the suffering of afflicted youngsters. The Society acts as a central or- ganization with a staff of field nurses. It operates special summer camps adapted to the needs of crip- pled children and arranges hos- pitalization, provides appliances and transportation among other things." With the money raised from this year's Easter Seals, further ex- pansion in the Society's work will take place. Plans this summer in- clude a more complete nursing coverage in Northern Ontario and the building of a new summer camp in the Eastern part of the Province similar to those operated at Georgian Bay and near London, where about 350 crippled children spend a portion of their summer under expert care, "Founded 26 years ago by a group of service clubs, the move- ment has grown until there is hardly a community which has not felt its direct influence. In Oshawa I feel that the eople generally have some knowledge at least of the work that the Rotary Club has been doing among the crippled children and feel that to further explain the need of public co-opera- tion at this time is unnecessary. "I_might add, however," "said Mr. Branch, "that the main fune- tion is to arrange expert ortho- pedic surgeons and consultants for diagnoses and arrangement treatment to outside clinics, It is estimated that over six million dol- lars in surgical services has heen donated by this group since the Society was organized, To further aid treatment and hospitalization of crippled children living at a dis tance from specialized medical cen- tres, transportation and accommo- dation is arranged for patient and escort. "The pathetic part of this worl," said Mr. Branch, "is the discovery that half of us do not know that crippling conditions are so preva- lent. Our big job is to discover these children who in many cases are of | last year," said Walter R. Branch, Chairman of the Easter "This right at our doorstep without oug being aware of them. For this reas son it was thought that the Easter Seals would serve the double func. tion of acquainting the public with our crippled children's problems and help finance the work through their sales." The Easter Seal Committee of the Rotary Club is again headed by Mr. Branch as Chairman and he has associated with him N. J. Mor= an, Vice-Chairman; Robert Argo, Treasurer; J, J.
