City To Clear 'Snow off King 'Simcoe Walks City Council last night instruct- ed Board of Works to buy or rent suitable equipment to clear snow off the sidewalks of King and Sim- coe Streets except for the business section for the whole of next win. ter. The move, sponsored by Al. derman Evelyn Bateman, is in the nature of an experiment to deter. mine the cost of such service and decide if it is feasible to extend it to other parts of the city in the future. Alderman Bateman contended that it was unfair to put the onus of shovelling snow off the sidewalk on the householder. The sidewalks are city property, she said, and it is up to the city to keep them clear. Alderman Sam Jackson, Jr. pointed out that sidewalks in front of city.owned properties were rarely shovelled and he thought that if the onus was to be placed on the citizens, the city should set an example. He added that following snowstorms, police had distributed notices to house. holders warning them to shovel their walks and wondered if the city had received such notices, Alderman Bateman cited a case of an elderly woman who faithful. ly shovelleq her walk after every snowstorm but the last. "After the last storm she did not feel up to shovelling and the next day she got a notice from the ro- lice. When she phoned me up about it, she was not angry, just deeply hurt and rightly so," said Alderman Bateman. She also re. marked that if sidewalks were shovelled and a thaw followed the storm, the water could not flow away from the walks due to the snow pushed on the boulevards by the city snow shovelling' equip- ment. If a freeze followed, the walks were coated with thick ice which was more dangerous thy) SNOW. UNCLE SAM TAKES CUT Los Angeles, March 9--(AP) -- These radio contests jackpots aren't all gravy, a federal internal revenue spokesman sald yesterday. He esti- mated that Mrs. Florence Hubbard of Chicago, who won $22,500 in merchandize in the "walking man" contest, would be subject to close to $13,000 in taxes, without consid- ering any possible exemptions she may have. Too Much Emphasis On Material Things Says Rotary Speaker Modern civilization was strong- ly criticized yesterday by Howard B. Moore, general-manager of the Federation of Automobile Dealers' Association, Toronto, for placing too much emphasis on material things and neglecting the spiritual side of life. Mr. Moore was ad- dressing the Oshawa Rotary Club's weekly luncheon meeting in the Genosha Hotel. "There is much too much em- phasis on material and scientific things to the neglect of character- building," said Mr. Moore. "It scares me and I'hope it scares you. We appear to be unable to control and use the fruits of our geniug." Deplores Lack of Discipline The speaker, who was introduced by Rotarian Allin F. Annis, re- marked on the lack of discipline and respect for teachers among school pupils today. This "brattish- ness," he thought was partly the fault of parents who transmit, though unconsciously. to.the chil- dren a feeling of superiority be- cause the teachers are not wealthy in a material sense. "It is an indictment of those of us in the home who send such poor raw material to the teachers," he said. "Our respect for people is measured in dollars and cents and goodness knows the teachers are poorly paid. "Then there is the feeling among many of us that those who draw their salaries from taxes are para- sites because they are non-produc- tive. If it comes down to brass tacks, in business, management is non-productive too. "Everyone is yowling for the re- duction of taxes, little realizing that it is a privilege of democracy to pay taxes and they should be paid cheerfully, Everyoné here will admit that the increases in teachers' salaries - have not kept pace with the increases in business salaries. We don't pay these mold- ers of our children's characters enough. : "The same thing applies to churches and institutions such as the Y.M.C.A, The Sunday School, a great dharacter builder, is sauy neglected. They have bare floors and poor equipment. And there is no selection of Sunday School teachers; we have to take what we can get and what we get are usual- ly girls who can't get boy friends. Parents, too, lack interest in the Sunday School; most of them look on it as a place where they can send their children for a couple of hours on a Sunday to get some peace and quiet." Inadequate Ministers' Salaries Inadequate ministers' salaries were also criticized by Mr. Moore who said that the givings in the United Church only amounted to ten cents per member per week. The Y.M.C.A, is also overworked and starved to death for funds and consequently the workers cannot do their best, he added. The average Canadian, he continued, thought nothing of spending dollars on en- tertainment but haggled over the giving of cents to such institu- tions which play so great a part in the character-building of his children. And when an institution such as the Y.M.C.A. does acquire a prom- ising young worker, because they cannot afford to pay high salaries, he is often "stolen" by the business world with offers of higher pay. This, Mr. Moore said, was a short- sighted policy because it meant the youth of Canada was being de- prived of a good, trained leader. To right this condition, the speaker stated, we must realize that all these assets consist of us --we own them and they ought to be ours. The public alone can pro- tect these institutions which 'build character. "And we need character; we need character to handle power, to handle money and to handle our leisure time properly. Although character is our most valuable as- set, we have no Ministry of Char- acter. Above all we need character to make blessings instead of men- aces, out of the great fruits of our scientific. genius." Mr. Moore was thanked by Ro- tarian Harry Kerr, Press Welcomes Barbara Ann Back to Canada * Refused Entry r HARRY POLLITT Leader of the Communist Party in Great Britain, who has been refused permission by Ottawa to enter Can- ada for series of lectures in April. He was also barred from the United States last June. Roofs Must Be Cleared of Snow Old By-Law Says Householders beware! During a city council discussion on snow removal last night, peru- sal of the by-law covering the subject revealed that household- ers who did not clear their side- walks are liable to prosecution. And what's more they will have to get up early in the morning to do it. For the by-law clearly sti- pulates that the snow must cleared off the walks by 10 a.m. every day except Sunday, when, it is to be assumed, people are free to fall and break their limbs. Not only that but in cases where the roofs overhang the sidewalks, the householder must get up an hour earlier (except Sundays) for the by-law is firm in saying that the roofs must be cleared by 9 am. at the latest. But, householders, don't despair. Council rescinded that portion of the by-law requiring you to keep the catch-basins and gutters in front of your house clear, It was pointed out that if everyone did that and a thaw came 'along, the storm sewers could not bear the traffic.

I. O., carries the story of how members of the Lo- cal at Fittings Limited, co-oper- ated with the Oshawa General Hos- pital and Walter R. Branch, per- sonnel manager of the company to save the life of an Owen Sound resident. The story is as follows: -- When Jim Young, a member of the International Woodworkers' Union, left Owen Sound to go to the CCL Winter School, he thought he was in the pink of condition. He'd never in his life been off work because of illness. A week later, fitted out with a fancy network of tubes, he was in a hospital bed in Oshawa with the odds about a hundred to one against his recover- ing. Unusual Blood Type Roughly, the story is this: One morning, at Ajax, Jim got up feel~ inng rather "queasy," as he put it. Before the day was out, he had been taken to, the hospital with a stomach ulcer on the rampage-- an ulcer he didn't even know exist- ed. The following day, Friday, Howard Conquergood, in charge of the Winter School, was asked to try and get, volunteers to give their blood for transfusions. The ulcer, it seemed, had formed on an artery and the hemorrhaging was very severe. As it happened, the pa- tient's blood belonged in one of the more unusual types (B) and the hospital had not enough on hand for a long siege. . A canvass among those attend- ing the camp revealed that none of those who knew their group were in B. Half a dozen of those who didn't know their group were rush- ed to the hospital but not one was in group B. It was obvious that it wasn't going to be easy to get the blood. Obvious, too, that as many people as possible would have to be typed as fast as pos- sible in-order to find enough in the right group. By this time it was about 3:30 p.m., Friday. In Oshawa, most plants shut down for the week-end at four o'clock or five. By five-fifteen men are scattered until Monday morning. Into Action Fast ° Mary Moodycliffe, Lab Techhni- cian at the Oshawa General, and Howard Conquerwood got into ac- tion fast. Contacting Steel Repre- sentative M. J. Fenwick; Conquer- wood 'explained the situation and asked the staff man to tell him the best plant to approach. They decided on Fittings, Limited, where the workers are represented by Lo- cal 1817. The personnel manager there, W. R. Branch, caught on immediately and by the time Con- querwood and Miss Moodycliffe got there with all the equipment for typing blood, Mr. Branch and Miss Milne, the nurse in charge of First Aid at the plant, were ready to go. ', Men who volunteered were tak- en of their jobs immediately. In just under three quarters of an' hour, eighty of them were typed as the team, consisting of Miss Moodycliffe, Miss Milne, Mr. Branch and Representative Con- querwood, operated on to handle the situation, On Saturday, Mr. Branch was again called what must have been more or less as- sembly line technique. But they found enough men in the right group upon to get men into the hospital, as Miss Ray Rutherford, another of the lab technicians, matched up the blood groups with the men who had been typed. Seventeen transfusions were were needed to keep Jim Young alive while the medical treatment took effect. As this goes to press he is getting ready to go home. When Jim tells his side of the story, he gets stumped when it comes to measuring out his gra- titude. Naturally, he has a pret- ty special feeling about the doc- tor who worked on him and for other doctors at the Oshawa Gene- ral who contributed their know- ledge and skill. But then there are his nurses, There are the two lab tecnicians, the minute Mary Moodycliffe and Miss Rutherford-- the people in the Fittings plant and the two Steel staff men. "They've all been swell," he said. "And you' just can't say I owe more to one than another because without any one of them, things would have been different." 2 BABES DIE IN FIRE Vauxhall, "Alta, March 9--(CP) --The two children of Mr, and Mrs. Frank Gow of Vauxhall suffocated to death in a fire Sunday while their parents were absent from home.

Study Suggested For New Measure Against Offenders Toronto, Marcn 9 (CP)--Shortcomings in the criminal code in regard to mental sex offenders and alcoholics are pointed up in the report of the Department of Reform Insti- tutions in Ontario. One of 13 reports tabled before the provincial legislature yesterday, it suggests a study of the ® two classes of offenders with a view to developing legislation for provid. ing special treatment. The report noted that the parole board is not in position to advocate treatment for such offenders al. though they may be mentally ill. The report further showed that efforts to curb juvenile delinquency in the province are beginning to show results. It said it can prove that parents were chiefly to blame for such delinquency as does exist. Other reports tabled at yester- day's brief sitting included the Northland Transpcrtation Commis. sion, Labor, Highways, Drainage, Niagara Parks Commission, Work. men's Compensation Board, Univer. sity of Toronto Board of Governors and the Ontario Research Depart- ment. Four government bills were given first reading. One introduced by Mines Minister Frost will consoli. date all the changes and improve. ments of the last 10 years in an amendment to the Mining Act. A bill amending the Real Estate Act provides for commissions being collected on rentals as well as sales of property. The Public Hospitals and SBanato. ria for Consumptives Acts will be amended to permit a municipality to pay $40 instead of $30 for burial of indigent persons. ; Bills amending the Industrial Farms Act, Reform Institutions Act, Hotel Act and Ticket Speculation Act passed committee without amendment although several were suggested by the opposition. The report of the provincial ree search commission strongly advoca. ted ccntinuation of the system of research scholarships in the prov. ince, instituted last year. The re. port said $44,275 was spent on scho- larships of the $50,000 set aside. It intimated that more money should be spent on agricultural research, noting that expenditure had been $300,000 when the industry produced more than $400,000,000 annually. The report pointed out that the United States spends one per cent of its annual income on-agricultural research. Final reading was given to a bill amending the Companies Act. The bill will give the government power to change the act to conform with a uniform companies code which is expected to he drawn up in the do. ALCOHCLIC (Continued on Page 10) Mr. Abbott To Shell Out $93 Million Tax Refunds To Canadians In March By DOUGLAS HOW Ottawa, March 9 -- (CP) -- In cheques ranging from one cent to hundreds of dollars, the federal Treasury is going to rid itself of more than $93,000,000 within the last two weeks of March, Revenue Department officials, computing the totals that emerged from weeks of mountainous toil, sald today that between March 15 and 31 individual Canadians would receive $57,347,425 as the compul- sory savings refunds of their 1942 income tax. They would receive, too, another $5,162,524 in interest, or a total of $62,509,949. - In the same period, corporations will have $31,200,000 refunded. The department has prepared hundreds of thousands of cheques for a mass distribution through the mails, All letters will be registered. They will go out as fast as the post offices across the country can han. de them. In Montreal, that will mean 30,- 000 a day; in Toronto, 25,000. And when the last of the 1,178,256 che- ques for individuals has vanished, there will still be another 100,000 Canadians who won't get their money because the department doesn't know where they are, Interest Added With interest, the average value of the cheques for individuals is about $53, but their ° extremities stretch all the way from one or a few more cents up into the hun. dreds. of dollars. Regardless of the amount, the department feels obli- gated to send it out. Sitting back after the weeks that made this possible, one department official said: "All I can say is that astremendous number of Canadians have moved since 1942. . . We must be becoming a nation of gypsies." Their inquiries divulged nearly 600,- 000 new addresses. Of these, only a minority were turned up through the plan of mail- ing out household reply cards last November, on which people who had moved and who were eligible for 1942 refunds were asked to state their new address. Scene 535,000 cards came back but, for one reason or another, only 150,000 were of any use, Others were sent in by thousands who had not moved or who submitted dup- jcates. The rest of the 600,000 were located from tax returns in depart- mental offices. Even then, officials estimate that 100,000 people with money 'owing to them will not get it, because no ad. dresses could be found. Any eligible person who receives no cheque by March 31 should write the depart- ment, give his 1942 address and his new address and his money will come in time. - May Be Hitch % Again, some of the cheques going out may come pack. The depart- ment will send them to the last ad- dress available. Its administrative staffs have been laboring for this moment since mid-July. In the eight months since, they have carried out what the department cails 10,000 opera- tions a day. These consist of get. ting the names and addresses, mak- ing out the cheques, having them igned and placed in addressed en- yelopes. Ye oent weeks, between 350 and 400 letters have been answered and they are still coming in, It is all good practice for the same sort of a rush in the next two years, March 31, 1949, will be the deadline for mailing out the refund. able portions of 1943 taxes. Marca 31, 1950, will be the deadline for those of 1944. . The cheques for 1942 are made out in Ottawa but wil Ibe distributed through the 19 regional income tax offices. Althougih dated March 31, an arrangement has been made with the banks so that they can be cashed anytime. The total of 1,178,256 will spread out this way: Charlottetown, 2,131; Halifax, 46,- 724; Saint John, 22,579; Quebec, 39, 907; Montreal, 231,605. Ottawa, 90,210; Kingston, 8,140; Belleville, 13,754; Toronto, 230,323; Hamilton, 111,260; London, 72,820; Fort William, 18,325.
