A LE hn EE - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1948 THE DAILY TIME§\CAZETTE PAGE THREE Oshawa's Skating Club's Ice Frolics Scores Hit At Arena © Committee Scans. Big Butter Deals . By Manipulators By John LeBlanc Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, April 7 (CP)--The Commons Price Committee was launched today on the trail of persons trying to cash in on the butter shortage. Chief quarry were brokers alleged to be using butter as a tie-in inductment to boost the sales of other commodities. Others were persons using butter® as give.away premiums with sales in Montreal, and selling low-grade butter as first quality in Halifax. From Roland Beaudry, Liberal committee member from Montreal St. James, the committee heard re. ports yesterday that Western but- tér in carload lots was being offer- ed for sale conditional upon cus. tomers buying other commodities. The committee ordered witnesses subpoenaed for appearance Thurs- day. | Mr. Beaudry said he had been in- formed that the tie-in sale of but. ter was being practised on a large scale. If the reports were true, the scarcity would be due at least partly to "manipulation." Committee members indicated the give-aways were less serious than the other alleged operations, but they were interested in finding out. where stores--including a jeweler, drugstore and hairdresser--could obtain "substantial" quantities dur. ing the current shortage. Roch Pinard (L--Chambly - Rou- ™lle) said he had been told one such firm had not bought or stored butter and 5,000 pounds. Today, the committee will contin. ue hearing from witnesses for Sil- verwood Dairies, Ltd, of London, Ont., who began testimony yester- day. Company President Edward G. Silverwood told the committee his firm ad not bought or stored butter for speculation, and he said its holdings and purchases had not been in excess of actual sales re- quirements. Gold Subsidy, Labor Code Discussed In By GEORGE KITCHEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, April 7 -- CP) -- The Commons yesterday gave record approval to a government bill to subsidize the gold-mining industry. It took the chamber precisely five hours to debate second reading of the legislation and approve the 10 clauses that make up the bill. The formality of third and final reading likely will take place today and the measure then will go to the Sen- ate, In the remaining hour of the sit- ting, the house considered the gov- ernment's new labor code, giving the enabling bill first reading, and advanced amendments to the war Veterans Allowance Act through their initial stages. These amend- ments increase payments to needy veterans of the first world war and their dependents. The gold bill proposes, under a complicated formula, to pay sub- sidies to the mining companies in the three years beginning Jan. 1 -this year. ° The subsidy will be paid on gold uced in excess of two-thirds of production in the year ended June 30, 1947, and will be equal to about one-half of the amount by which production costs exceed $18 an ounce. The government will not, however, pay half of any produc- tion costs running over $50 an ounce. The «main objectivé of the legis- lation is to increase gold produc- tion and thus ease Canada's short- age of foreign exchange, It also aims at keeping alive those north« ern communities which depend on the mining industry for theifffexist- ence and livelihood. All parties supported the bill, al- though C.CF. and Social Credit members said they did not see why the government could not subsidize | other industries and products to keep down the cost of living. Pro- gressive Conservative and Liberal members, on the other hand, felt that the legislation did not go far enough. In the opening stages, Fisheries Minister MacKinnon said the gov- ernment is considering increasing the staffs of immigration officers at points along the Canadian-Ameri- can border. Finance Minister Abbott said he could: not indicate yet when he will bring down the 1948-49 budget. Mr. Mitchell said ship owners in- volved in the deep-sea strike have taken. a "final position" for full implementation of a federal con- ciliator's report. Prime Minister Mackenzie King denied "completely" a recent charge by Maj-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V.C. Parliament (PC-Nanaimo) that he had ousted former Veterans Minister Macken- zie from the cabinet in a dispute over the size of veterans pensions. Mr, Mackenzie left the cabinet in December and was appointed to the Senate. During the Labor Code debate A. L. Smith (PC-Calgary JVest), Pro- gressive Conservative labor spokes- man, expressed hope parliament and the provincial legislatures would outlaw the "sympathetic" strike, While he hoped parliament never would take from labor its right to strike, some walkouts tend- ed to be illegal. They should be outlawed, He declared his support for the check-off of union dues. Angus MacInnis (CCF-Vancouver East) said the general tendency in legislation had been towards There had been "very little" labor legislation. Labor had" been weak and the employers strong. - Piloting the gold bill through its legislative stages, Mr. Abbott sald the government was under no "de- lusion" that. increased gold produc- tion would 'be a major factor in the solution of the country's exchange problems. But the industry had a definite place in the Canadian economy and the government realized that the closing of mines, faced with high costs, would bring hardship to many communities. ! He sald the act would be pro- claimed just as soon as regulations were drafted and expressed hope this would be "very soon." several of his supporters urged the government take steps to see that a portion of the subsidy was used to improve working conditions | and salaries of the miners. Solon Low, Social Credit leader, | felt it a "strange.phenomena" that | a government which had refused bsidi on ial products should bring in a measure to sub- | sidize gold. He protested the re- fusal to extend subsidies to the es- sentialities of life. Alan Cockeram (PC-York South), speaking for the Progressive Con- servative opposition, said the in- dustry was opposed to being bonus- ed since this made them a "crea- ture" of the government. However, it felt that the payment would help to make up for losses suffered when the government) placed the dollar ion parity with US, funds. i tpt mamestmssp--" | SMALL BUT IMPORTANT | The republic of Panama is 480 miles long and 37 to 110 miles wide.

BD Decided to call for tenders for painting the interior of the police building, Kiwanis Club Hears Talk On Forestry William Glenister, of the D2part- ment of Lands and Forests, Pro- vincial Government of Ontario, was the guest speaker at the week- ly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, Speaking briefly on the work be- 'ing done by the department, which he pointed out had, due to lack of manpower, been neglected some- what during war years. Mr. Glen- ister stressed that a lot of work was needed to raise a tree, ready for delivery to some group or organiza- tion for planting, since each tree must be trans-planted at least ten times, before it is ready to go out. "Our supply this year will be a hundred percent greater than in 1947, and we think we'll be able to completely supply the demand," he stated. He also warned that fires were a great destroyer of trees and the work done by the department. "They tell us that one tree will make a million matches but we should remember also that one match can destroy a million trees," stated Mr. Glenister. Two of the finest natural color movies ever displayed for an ap- preciative audience of qutdoor sportsmen and lovers of nature, were a highlight of the program. The fine scenery and close-up scenes in the picture, "Fish Tails" was a real thrill to every angler, while the splendid work of two fine hunting dogs, "Bob" and "Ranger" was a revelataion to all, as well as a real treat for outdoor hunters, The latter "Pheasant Fever," as the name im- plies, showed a successful pheas- ant hunt, in which the splendid training and talent of the two dogs was brought out to best ad- vantage, The color and photography in both pictyres was of superb order. Kiwaniah Frank Taylor introduce "restrictions on organized labor." | M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, and i jed William Glenister to the Ki- , wanians and guests and at the con- ! clusion of the pictures, Kiwanian Harold Armstrong voiced the sin- cere thanks of the appreciative audience, R.C.A.S.C. Group Reviews Work The monthly meeting of the exe- cutive members of the RCASC Vet. erans Association was held on Fri- day, April 2, in the University Ave. nue Armories, in Toronto. Plans were drawn up for the dance on April 28, and review of the work ac- | complished in the past few months | brought several interesting points to light. Since the annual meeting in Sep- tember, 1947, membership has 'al- most doubled. It was remarked that, while the RCASC Veterans Asso. ciation is among the largest, it has probably the greatest potential membership of all groups. For this reason, there will be no relaxation of effort in the membership drive. Further discussion was held on the question of procuring perma- nent quarters as club rooms, and en. | couraging incidents point to future | success in this endeavour. Mr. Nor- | man Walker, secretary of the As. sociation, asked members to tell their friends about the organization, | and to continue soliciting new mem- ! bers. Membership has attained over 500 although it has not been static since the beginning of the year. A discussion was also held rela- tive to the fee for membership. A recent national survey shows that, at the present cost of living organi- | zations cannot survive with mem. bership fees of less than $2.00 per annum. Despite this fact, the RCA SC Veterans Organization feel will remain at $1.00 at least until the conclusion of the present member- ship drive, . Circus Clown Dies Telling Life Story New York, April 7--(AP)--One of England's great clowns went on the alr last night to tell of hig life-long circus exploits in America and Eu- rope--and an instant later fell dead from a heart attack at the micro- phone. At his side was his wife, billed as the only woman clown in the world. The radio appearance of the cou- ple, Albert V. Adams, 48, and his | wife, Louise, wag a prelude to the opening of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus to- day in Madison Square Garden. | The Oshawa Skating Club has uncovered a pleasant surprise for patrons i of tonight's performance of "Ice Frolics of 1948" with the announcement that Marilyn Ruth Take, Canadian Olympic star and 1947 Champion of Canada, will be on hand tonight. Miss take arrived in town today from | North Bay to see "Ice Frolics" and was persuaded by F. V. S*inner, club | president, to skate a number in the show. The show itself is already | jammed with stars and beautiful routines andthe addition of Miss Take | ish warship recently retired to the found in great artists. puts still another feather in the cap of the local club in presenting the | scrap heap, was the first best talent available. ~ Olympic Star at Ice Frolics . es] oid 140 Planes Expected At Air § Show At a business meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce held George Hurren, chief instructor of the Ontario Flying Club gave a resume of the Air Show activities to take place on May 29 at the Airport. ~ "This year," said Mr. Hurren, "we expect to have an even bigger and better show than was our good fortune to put on last year. Every registered plane owner in the To- ronto area has written his inten- tion of being present, which will boost the number of civil airdraft present to between 120 and 140. The Air Force has given us their sup- port in past shows and we fully expect they will do the same this year." ; Mr. Hurren congratulated the progress evident in their plans for co-sponsorship of the Air Show wigh the Ontario Flying Club. "If this enthusiasm continues," said Mr. Herren, "we can rest assured the Junior Chamber of Commerce will make their. part of the show run smoothly." The Flying Club is making great strides towards the completion of the program for the afternoon, and everything points to a very enter- taining day. In this show the Junior Chamber is taking over the responsibilities for the advertising and publicity; tickets and programs, grounds preparation, car parking; transportation; food concessions, and 'the Air Show Ball. It is also working with ihe {lying ciuv on i= vitations and special entertainment. FIRST OIL BURNER The Queen Elizabeth, the Brit- battle- | ship to use oil alone as fuel. in the Y.W.C.A.,, on Monday night," Andra McLaughlin Stars In Carnival Before Big Crowd e "Ice Frolics of 1948", eighth annual ice show of the Oshawa Skating Club, last night was presented to first night~» ers who crowded the arena..A colorful extravaganza" throughout, the program's highlights were visiting American ice star Andra McLaughlin, and the Oshawa Club the professional Alex Fulton. On an ice surface of sky blue, a' perfect setting for the wonderful performances put on by all the art- in the same colors. At the north Junior Chamber on the splendid | end of the rink, an orchestra pit high above the ice and walls of | blue with fuchsia pillars sided the | entrances for the performers. | The Oshawa Skating Club Orch- | estra conducted by J. Wilson Jar- dine, Mrs. Keith Gahan, soprano, land a vocal quartet including Fred Roy, Charles Joliffe, Chester Lam- |bert and Fred Curtis, provided melodious selections for the two. | and-a-half hour program. Announc- | ing was done by Fred V. Skinner. | Andra McLaughlin of The Skating | Club, New York City, and 1948 Sil- ver Skates Champion of that metro- | polis, first appeared on the ice in |8 flashing gold sequinned costume | with Indian chief headdress, to in- | terpret the "Indian War Dance" on [ blades. Her work was thrilling; no | other word can describe it. Her poses with make-believe bow and arrow and her prayers to the gods were executed with feeling always | Spanish Number To the haunting rhythms of geometric designs in fuchsia proved | ists. The boards too, were painted choreographic displays arranged by® "Allegrias", she showed knowledge of the true Spanish dance. Dressed in scarlet blouse with black tights and jerkin splattered with sequins, Miss McLaughlin «theoretically transported the spectator to roman- tic Spain where the beating cas. tanets and stamping, shuffling and swaying are all phases of the fas. cinating dance style. - Her contrasting pantomime per formances were evidence of the young champion's extreme versa- tility. Her little chapeau with the long.stemmed flower bobbing about on top, quickly transformed her In- dian costume to a humorous one. Her change in performance was even more evident. Loose limbs under perfect control brought screams of merriment from the crowd. Without her castanets, but still in Spanish costume, she performed surprising and intricate movements to the lilting "Linda Mujer". A total of six encores had to be ans- wered. Opening number by the Oshawa Skating Club was to Romberg's "Will You Remember" as sung by Mrs. Gahan and Mr, Joliffe ICE FROLICS (Continued on Page 12) Alternate Route (Continued from Page 1) Fair Grounds in Alexandra Park this year. Mr. Chapman traced the growth of the Oshawa Fair and enumerated the advantages it brought to this city. The pro- posed building would be 170 feet by T2 feet and could be used for cattle sales and stock shows, he said. To- tal cost is estimated between $16,- 000 and $20,000. The request was referred to the Finance Committee. May Sell Trull Property The Finance and City. Property Committees, City Engineer W, T. Dempsey and. Assessment Com- missioner W. E. Kerr will study an offer by L. S. Palmer to buy the Trull property on King Street at its assessed value. Mr, Palmer sald he would like to build five apartment houses, each with six suites, on a bungalow court style on the property at a total cost of $60,000. The buildings would be set back far enough to overcome restrictions. Mayor McCallum in- formed council that the Fire Mar- shal had condemned the old Trull home, now owned by the city. the building would be torn down. Julien Street, headed by Kershaw, appeared before council to protest that Nick Dudlaryk was still living in a garage og St. Ju- lien Street despite the fact that he had been ordered to move out, The matter has been before the courts. Dudlaryk last night denied he was living in the garage. ed a room on the street and on'p used the garage to store his too'. He admitted to Mayet McCalluta 'that he had not removed the bed which he placed in the garage. The mayor warned him that the police would keep a close watch on the garage and there would be trouble if he was found living in it. Council Ask Stricter Test endorsed a that driving licenses not be grant- ed until a strict test had been passed by the applicant, his eye- sight tested and a physical exam- ination passed. vo "1 agree with that resolution," sald Alderman Evelyn Bateman. "Accidents are increasing and fit certainly isn't the fault of the cars --it is the fault of the drivers. I know of a number of people in the city who have had heart attacks and are still driving." Scrambled eggs cooked in a dou. ble boiler are tender because .they are heated at low temperatures. Urges Tax Ottawa, April 7--(CP)--The Can. adian Chamber of Commerce today urged the government to lower tax- es and to cut down on its own spen- ding. The suggestions were made by the Chamber's executive committee in a 2,000-word statement to Finance Minister Abbott and Revenue Min. ter McCann, ts in personal income and cor- poration taxes did not "necessarily" help the spread of inflation. They would encourage greater production and lessen unit costs. Reduction of sales tax, excise tax and "other fevies entering directly into cost of production" also should be considered. The Chamber was "in sympathy with" social security measures but could give no "blanket endorsation." To apply too large a part of the national income would tend td wipe out the incentive for production. Chamber Of Commerce Reductions Without production, there could be no prosperity. Other recommendations: 1. An over-all tax setlement be. tween the dominion and all nine provinces. This should be "satisfac tory to the Canadian taxpayer." 2. Combination of personal in- come and corporation tax "to eli- minate double taxation of corporate | earnings." 3. Equal taxation: of all business, |: whether corporation or co.operative, whether privately, publicly or gov- ernment.owned. 4. An "adequate" allowance for depreciation, It should ensure that a business asset -- a building or machinery--"will be fully written off within its reasonable probable life." a ) v "5.
