SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1948 : THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Control On Home Rentals , Evictions Must Remain--Ilsley & Ontario Rules Out Move For Higher Old Age Pensions Toronto, March 13 (CP)--A Labor-Progressive party resolution calling for higher old age pensions at a lower age came in for considerable discussion in the Ontario Legisla- ture yesterday before the Speaker, on request for a ruling, decided it was out of order. The ruling was based on decision ® that the resolution would obligate the legislature to expend money. Bills or legislation involving money may be introduced only by the gov- ernment and not a private member, @ this case J. B. Salsberg (LPP.-- Toronto St. Andrew). In the short Friday session, the House also gave first reading to a bill which will provide municipali. ties with 'authority to vote grants or gifts to athletes for outstanding achievements. This amendment, introduced by Municipal Affairs Minister Dunbar, was inspired by the difficulty en. countered by Ottawa last year when it decided to present Barbara Ahn Scott with a car in recognition of her skating prowess. City Council had already decided to give her the car when it found it did not have the authority. Special legislation covering that instance had to be voted by the provincial government. As it turned out, Barbara Ann had to return the car after Avery Brundage warned her that accept. ance would jeopardize her amateur standing. The Bill, which contains a num- ber of minor amendments to the municipal act, also empowers city police to trap pigeons which are making nuisances of themselves. Private Bill One private bill was introduced. William A. Duckworth (PC--Tor. onto Dovercourt), in absence of A. H. Acres (PC--Carleton), moved first reading of a bill to establish Ottawa Ladies' College as a non. denomination instituation and to give the board of trustees more pow- er. In committee the House reported 12 government bills without amend- ment. There was considerable discussion, however, on one kill, to amend the County Courts Act, The amendment would remove the stipulation that the first day of any county court session in Ontario must begin at 1 pm. or later. It would be up to the judge to decide whe. ther to start at 9 a.m. or to walt un. til the afternoon. J. A. Habel (Lib.Cochrane North) charged that the bill was for the convenience of judges and did not give any thought to witnesses. He sald that in northern constituencies such as his that if the judge were to call a morning session on the first day it would require many wit- nesses to leave their homes Sunday morning in order to reach Coch. rane in time, Opposition leader Farquhar Oli. ver and W. J. Grummett supported a request that the bill be held over for a few days for further study and examination. However, Attorney General Black. well declined, saying that he was certain judges would take into ac- count train schedules before setting court opening time. Idea Is Opposed The Speaker's ruling on Mr, Sals. berg's pensions resolution followed discussion by Mr. Blackwell and Akrelien Belanger (Lib..Prescott), both of whom opposed arguments that it should be allowed to stand. Mr. Salsberg had argued that it was not a bill, only a resolution, thus only a statement of opinjef, which would not bind the House to its vote. 5 The Attorney General said pas. sage of the resolution would obli- gate spending by the government since it would. constitute a formal expression to the legislature. He quoted past records dating back to 1876 to show that similar resolu. tions had been ruled out of order. Mr. Belanger said he was fully in accord with the Attorney General but criticized him for suggesting that the purpose of the resolution was only to embarrass the govern. ment, County Garage To Be Built At Sunderland Ontario County Council award- ed the contract for construction of a county garage and machinery building at Sunderland yesterday to the Cannington Cement Block 0. The building is to be erected just west of Sunderland on pro- perty purchased from J. Stanley Miller, The only tender received was from the Cannington firm and its price was $4,500 for the building except the windows, doors and gra- vel box. Council also accepted tenders for a total of 25300 cubic yards of crushed gravel for county roads in the various townships. Landlord Jailed For Cutting Heat 'Windsor, March 13--(CP)--Wil. liam Mather, branded by the prose- cution Friday ag a landlord with a "soft head and a hard heart," was sentenced to 30 days in jail on a charge of unlawfully discontinuing heating at his apartment house. Defence Counsel told tne court Mather shut off the heat in a "mistaken idea to draw attention of the authorities to the high price of fuel." HOLLAND REDS STIRRING Amsterdam, March 13--(CP)-- Some 200,000 pamphlets were cir- culated throughout Holland yester- day urging Dutch Communists to form action committees "for.

Ed. Stelling, a distinguished evangelist, whose home is in Grand Rapids, Michi- gan. As a matter of fact, nego- tiations were opened some two years ago with a view to getting Mr. and Mrs. Stelling to come to Oshawa but owing to many prewi- ous engagements this spring was the earliest arrangements could be made for the visit. The meet- ings will continue up to and includ- ing Sunday, April 4th, with week night meetings each' night, except Saturday, at 7.45 o'clock and Sun- day services at usual hours, A lively song-time will introduce each service, ' At the opening meetings to- morrow, Mr. Stelling will preach in the morning on the subject "The Christian's No. I Debt" and in the evening his subject will be "The Lord's Difference." An additional feature will be a broacast ever CKDO at 1.45 when Mr. Stelling will be heard in song and sermon- ette on "Marriage to Jesus Christ." Preparatory for the opening ser- vices on Sunday there will be a prayer meeting at the church to- night at 7.45 to which all are in- vited. In addition to being a preacher of oustanding ability, Mr. Stelling is a Gospel soloist and Mrs, Stel- ling is an acomplished pianist who accompanies her husband for the song services and solo numbers. The visiting evangelist was born in Charleston, South Carolina, where he received his education. He spent two years in the regular U.S. Army stationed at Honolulu. Upon discharge he took a position with the U.S. government in the Census Bureau, Washington, D.C. { where he was converted through the efforts of a Sunday School teacher. His wife also accepted | Christ while a registered nurse in Sibley Memorial Hospital, Wash= ington. _ Feeling a call to engage in Chris- tian work Mr, and Mrs. Stelling left Washington and studied at Providence Bible Institute, Prov- idence, R.L, for three years. While there Mr. Stelling held a student pastorate in »renchtown, R.I. They then went to work with the Scrip- ture Memory Mountain Mission as missionaries in the Kentucky mountains, and at the same time Mr. Stelling held a pastorate in Missionary Baptist Church, Hind- man, Kentucky. Leaving their field for further training, Mr. Stelling entered the Moody Bible Institute, Chicigo. where he graduated from the music course. While in Chicago > was ~assistant pastor of the Central Avenue Baptist Church and later interim pastor for six months, | leaving to answer a call into the | evangelistic ministry, | Since 1944 the work of evange- lism has led Mr. and Mrs, Stelling | into many states and cities of | New England, the east, the south, the middle west, and Ontario, He has always felt that his intro- ductory campaign into the minis- try of evangilsm was held in the Wellington Street Baptist Church, Sault. Ste. Marie, Ontario, of which Rev. Ralph F. Willson, now of Oshawa, was then the pastor. Mr. Stelling is the author of two booklets entitled - "Meditation on Prayer." Several local churches have in- dicated a willingness to co-operate with First Baptist Church in this c.mpaign and all who feel the need of revival and would like to hear the Gospel message expounded by an able preacher are cordially in- vited to attend these meetings, FIRE LOSS $10,000 Peterborough, March 13--(CP)-- Loss was estimated at $10,000 in a fire which late yesterday destroyed a two-storey brick dwelling owned and occupied by Mr, and Mrs. Wil- liam: Clark of the main intersection of the village of Young's Point, 14 miles north of here on highway No. 28. The blaze was believed to have started from a short-circuit in an automobile in a back shed. Harmony Recreation Association Holds First Community Night MRS. KENNETH FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, March 13--Last night ir Harmony School, the auditorium was filled with recreational spirited people who had come to enjoy an evening of entertainment put on by the Harmony Welfare Associ- ation, in an attempt to make more people in the vicinity realize what a neighbourhood recreation associ- ation could do for Harmony. Mr. W. Powers, the president of the Harmony Welfare Association, gave a report on the winter's ac- tivities of the association, saying that the rink at the school had been in use thirty-six times during the winter. He asked for the help of Harmony people in the program htat was going to be planned for the summer months. At this time he introduced Ivan Richards who acted as the master of ceremonies. The program for the evening got under way with a school chorus from 8.8. No, 6 which sang two numbers. Mr. Richards expressed the hope that something could be done to have the chorus make a scool broadcast on the air, and thus further their achievements. A chil- dren's chorus from Harmony School then sang two numbers that were very well received. Mr. Richards commented on the talent that was in the neighbourhood, which he said should give the recreational association all kinds of support in putting on programs in the future. "Now is the Hour" and "Beg Your Pardon" were sung by "Freddy" Fountain who certainly has a grand voice. There wasn't a sound in the audience as this young singer he- gan his songs, and only the sighs of the younger girls in the audi- ence could be heard as the second number was announced. Grades 1 and 2 of Harmony School then sang "John Brown" and "I See You," which made quite a hit with the audience. Seeing these young people on the stage before a large audience makes a person realize that there is more to singing than just knowing the tune. Mrs. J. H. Hare gave two readings as the next item on the program, "The Lion and Albert" and "The Return of Albert." These two humorous stories gave the audience a great many laughs: When "Albert" had been safely returned, the program continued with a piano solo by Ann Marie Hoskin who played very well before the large audience. Sq. No. 6 then put on what was called a "Singing Dialogue." This consisted of a young girl and her male partner, who asked a question about a secret which the audience was never let in on, Mr. Richards as master of cere- monies then expressed the hope that the Harmony Welfare Associ-Y ation would have the much needed support of more of the community's citizens in their coming program, and said if he was able to give any help to be sure and call him. "Big things start as small things," said Mr. Richards, "and I sincerely hope that this organization being form- ed here in Harmony, will be the tenth such group formed in Osh- awa since'the end of the war." Dur- ing the evening there were two musical groups that played varied instruments as part of the pro- gram. Earlier in the evening, the first group 'played two selections, and after Mr. Richards remarks, a group- of Harmony musicians, in- cluding two guitars, two violins and a piano, played "Home on the Range", "Crooked Stove Pipe," and "Now 'is the Hour." The audience applauded so loudly and for so long. that Mr. Richards said they would more, than likely he called on later in the evening, but as time was. growing short, this was im- possible. The first musical group was from S.S. No. 6, their two selections being. "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover" and "The Sol- dier's Joy", A group of minstrels of S.S. No. 6 sang "Old Susanna" with original words and a drill that combined everything into one making quite a show for the audience. It must have taken a lot of time on the part of the music teacher to train thése children and congratulations are most eertainly in order. Mrs. Korry and Mrs. Fletcher who were both greatly responsible for the entire program, put on a humorous skit themselves, and sceing Mrs. Flet- cher in man's clothes was a laugh in itself, not to mention their dia-- logue. Mr. Richie of the National Film Board from - Orillia, and also a member of the Ontario County Federation of Agriculture, showed moving pictures at this time in the program, the first being '"Eye- Witness" and series of shots from all. parts of the Dominion. The second film shown was called "For Home and Country" along with a short comedy. This pointed out the importance of being Canadians and was very well received. The final film was a sing-song show that brought all the voices in the auditorium into being to sing such songs as "It's a Long Way to Tip- perary" and other marching songs of the Canadian troops. The entire evening was a great success and a lot of thanks should be given to those that were responsible for the program, A meeting in the interests of the C.C.F. party is being held in Har- mony Public School today, com- mencing at 8 p.m. E.

Murphy said McKinnon proposed that he resume publication on March 28 for a three-month trial period.

A resolution praliminary to a bill® to continue prices board orders, in. cluding those covering price con. trols, domestic rental ceilings and evictions -- operating until March 31, 1940--was adopted. The bill it. self was given first reading after a minimum of debate. Extended discussion erupted on second reading of a bill that would provide an increase in the initial price of wheat, establish a pension fund for employees of the Canadian Wheat Board and give the board rower to take over the marketing of oats and barley along with wheat. Progressive Conservative mem. bers criticized the latter two fea- tures of the bill, but the C.C.F, and Social Credit members said they would support the measure although it was not entirely to their liking. At the house opening Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King read into the record qa cable from the British government in which it said it could not agree to release five wartime dispatches on the international sit- uation. These dispatches were miss. ing from the Hong Kong evidence tabled in the Commons Wednes- day. External Affairs Minister St. Laurent said there had been no further advances made by Canada to Czechoslovakia in the last three or four weeks on the $1,000,000 bal- ance left of the $19,000,000 loan to that country, Finance Minister Abbott said he expected the contracts under which Canada has extended credits war.devastated European coun- tries will be "fulfilled," although he agreed it would be "false optimism" to expect that there would be no losses. In introducing the control resolu- tion, Justice Minister Ilsley said 23 of the 50 wartime Orders-in-Coun- cil contained in the transitional measures act passed at the last ses- sion have since been revoked. Of the 27 remaining, some have been partially revoked. In the brief debate that ensued, John Bracken, Progressive Conser- vative leader, said his party would debate controls on second reading of the bill. His party favored order- ly decontrol and did not think that some orders, such as those on rents, should be "abandoned preci- pitately." CCF. members asked nothing more than assurances that they would be given opporiunity to move amendments to the legislation once it wag brought to a more advanced stage. Solon Low, Social Credit leader, said his party was generally oppos. ed to controls, but it was ready, in times such ag these, to grant exten- sions to such controls as the gov. ernment could justify. J. F, Pouliot (Ind. L--Temiscoua- ta) said he was opposed to controls because they were an infringement on the liberties of the people. In the wheat debate, John Die. fenbaker (PC--Lake Centre) charg- ed the government had no inten. tion of bringing the marketing of oats and barley under the wheat board. A year ago, the government had opposed opposition efforts to have the coarse grains brought un- der tie jurisdiction of the wheat board. When the efforts were made, Jus- tice Minister Ilsley had stated such a move was unconstitutional and dangerous. 'When the efforts were made, Justice Minister Ilsley had stated such a move was unconstitutional and dangerous, Mr, Diefenbaker asked what change had occurred since then, and answering his own question said: "The only change is thai there was no provincial election coming up in Saskatchewan in 1947 but there is one in 1948." : In a cross-floor exchange which followed, Trade Minister Howe ac- cused Mr. Diefenbaker of being a "cheap lawyer speaking to the gods." Mr. Diefenbaker said he was not going to ask for a withdrawal of the charge because "it indicated the measure of the man who made it" Walter Tucker (L--Rosthern) ac- cused the opposition of trying to delay the legislation so that western farmers would not receive their cheques on time. This was denied 4 | Wright (CCF--Melfort). sent 12 head of cattle donated, and [oy Perey 8 Mr. Wright said he did not think the legislation went far enough but his party would support it. to | Leading Revival REV.
