(Elite Guard) today were convicted of wholesale mur- der in an American finding so biting that the death penalty for many seemed inescapable. tomorrow. Sentences will be announced A three-judge court found them guilty on all three counts of an Indictment charging' the killing of at least "1,000,000 Jews, Gypsies and others classified by the Nazis as rdcial undesirables. Only two were found innocent in any degree. The judgment was handed downé- by presiding Judge Michael A. Mus< manno. He summed up the counts as "plain murder." One S.8. Captain was acquitted on | two counts--war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was convicted of the third--membership in 2 crim- inal organization; namely, the S.8. and the S.') (a department that ran a spy system). One Corporal was found innoc- ent of all three charges because he once quit the 8.8. and got back into it only through the draft. Convicted of all three counts were four 8.8. Generals, 12 Colonels, three Majors and one Lieutenant. They were commanding officers of the Eisatz Commandos. These were units, none of more than 2,000 men, established by Reinhard Hey- drich, chief of the security service. They were sent into Russia behind the rampaging German armies to wipe out whole classes of people Hitler and Gestapo Chief Henrich Himmler thought were better off dead. Mainly they exterminated Jews. Their own records, introduced in court, showed at least 1,000,000 slain. The prosecution held that maybe 2,000,000 died from their bul. lets or in their gas vans. Among those convicted of all counts' were: | Maj.-Gen. Otto Ohlendorf, who admitted his Einsatz group slew 90,000 Jews. Brig.-.Gen. Heinz Jost, veteran po. liceman and law expert. Brig-Gen. Erich Naumann, devot- ed Nazi since 1933. Brig.-Gen. Erwin Schulz, time police official. Maj. Heinz Schurbert, who says : is a distant relative of composer Fanz Schurbert. The men had various civilian backgrounds. Some of the others convicted had been lawyers. One was & clergyman ,one a dentist, an- other a school teacher and a fourth an opera singer before going into the 8.8. In a general finding yesterday, he court held that a superior's ord. er is no defence against a criminal charge. It said a soldier is a reason. 'ng agent "bound only to obey the lawful orders of his superior." The American prosecution took only two days of the trial to intro- duce its case, but the trial took sev- :n months, long- KINGSTON HARBOR OPENS Kingston, April 8 -- Ontario car 'erry No. 2 was the first steamer .0 arrive in Kingston harbor this spring, It docked at the CSL wharf at the foot of Queen St. and will remain there for about two weeks before entering the dry dock at the palnt of the Canadian Ship- building and Engineering Ltd. where it will undergo repairs.

A.M. Hardy Terminates 50 Years Service With Bowmanville Company One of the most successful and active business careers in the his. tory of Bowmanville was terminated on April 1, 1048, when A. M. Hardy, consulting superintendent, Good- year Tire and Rubber Company, Bowmanville branch, announced his retirement from active duties with the company. In an official statement following Mr. Hardy's announced wish to be relieved of his duties with the com. pany, the vice-president and gen. eral manager of Goodyear-Canada, R. C. Berkinshaw, spoke in glowing |- terms of the great part played by Mr. Hardy in the Goodyear organ- ization ever since it entered into production in the Canadian field 37% years ago. In a general letter to the officers and employees of Goodyear-Can- ada, Mr, Berkinsiaw outlined the general story of Mr. Hardy's asso. ciation with the rubber industry for almost half a century and wigh- ed him many more years of activ good health. ; Pioneer Family Arthur Hardy was born on the McCoy farm at Tyrone, a son of Thomas Hardy and his wife, Mary Blackburn, Aside from farming, Mr. Hardy Sr. was widely known as a local preacher and the family was universally respected. Thrift was the order of the day and young Arthur had lis share of hard work as he absorbed the lessons of strict honesty imparted by his parents. The early pioneers were not afraid to raise large families and it is in. joining their fortunes in mutual affection. Today the family circle of that happy time is represented only by Arthur Hardy and his sis. ter, Mrs. F. G. Cornish of Oshawa. While living, every member of the family won the respect of all with whom they came into contact. - No greater tribute than .this could be accorded the memory of their God- fearing, industrious parents. The children received sound educations in local schools before choosing their respective spheres in adult life, Chooses Industry Young Arthur Hardy, spare of frame, but with muscles toughened by hard toil, persuaded himself that a place in industry offered bet- ter opportunity than cutting cord wood in spare time. He recalls the feat of Charlie Axford who split and piled 19 stove cords in a single day and these prodigious efforts were common among the men whose hours were not limited by a factory whistle. And they brought less than bie current factory wages of the ay. . It was over 50 years ago that the Bowmanville Rubber Co. came into existence. Mr. Hardy was one of the first Durham Rubber Co. em- ployees. From that day to April 1, 1948, he has been identified with the rubber industry in Bowmanville, The Bowmanville Rubber Co. was merged into the Durham Rubber Co. and Mr. Hardy became one of its first foremen. Then in 1910 the Goodyear Company bought out the Durham Rubber Co. and again Mr. Hardy went along as an experienced teresting to know that Mr. Hardy's married before + parents were each and valued asset to the new enter- prige. Conditions In British Isles - Are Outlined MRS. KENNETH FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, April 9--In spite of the fact 'that the attendance was only fair at the first spring meeting of the willing Workers on Wednesday night, yet several matters of im- portance were dealt with and on the whole, much was accompilshed The meeting, presided over by Mrs. John Wheelér, the president, opened with the Lord's Prayer in unison, followed by treasurers and secretary's report. An appeal from the Red Cross for knitting' was made and members willing to help are asked to contact Mrs. , 'Art Smith, Cadillac Ave. An appeal for good used clothing was also made. It was felt that at this season of spring cleaning, when an inventory is made in the fiomes, many outgrown garments, still good, would be found. The committee looking after welfare work in the Township would like to have on hand a box of good clothing, so that when calls come in for these "things, they would be available. For the present time these things will be kept in a cup- board at the school. Recognizing the need of money to go ahead with work on new quarters for the Primary depart- ment of Harmony Sunday School, a motion was passed to donate $100 to the Sunday School toward this project. Names drawn to look after the next regular meeting on May 5:h, are as follows: Mrs. A. Smith con- vener, Mrs. G. Scott, Mrs. B. All- church, Mrs. A, Rundle, Mrs, Den- shen and Mrs. Reg. Luke, The worship service, arranged jointly by Mrs. Howard Hoskin and Mrs. Ken Fletcher had as its theme "Spring". Opening with "This is My Father's World" a short verse "April" was read by Mrs. J. Hare, followed by the Scripture, St. John 21, by Mrs. Miller. The topic taken by Mrs, Fletcher dealt with the awakening season and renewal of life and promise, and the need to make * personal application of "house cleaning" to ourselves. The singing of "Fairest Lord Jesus" and a short prayer brought to a close this part of the service, The guest speaker, Mrs. T. Mur- doch, was intorduced by Mr.s Hos- talk by saying that it was just a year ago that she and her family had sailed from their native coun- try, England, to make a new life here in Canada. Speaking with reminiscence of an English countryside in the spring, with its rolling, greem meadows; with violets and primroses abloom in the- hedgerows; with the famil- iam sounds of bleating lambs and song of cuckoo in the air, Mrs. Murdoch took her listeners away to the days of tragedy and privations shared by all Britishers during those awful years of war. It wag 8 if the freedom had gone out of their lives. It was their good fortune to live out in the country, on a farm, vhus many shortages in food, escaped them. She recalled the first bombs that -fell only two miles away from their home, and of the frightening effect these things had on their lives. Reference was made to con- ditions around Coventry, only nine miles away, of the devastation wrought and of children roaming the countryside, with parents lost or killed; of the lack of parental guidance with so many parents working in factories, and having little or no time to see what was going on. The resultant delinquen- cy among children in England was laid to this fact, Hunger makes for discontent--Iit was natural that with such little food that meals became monoton- ous. p Mrs. Murdoch lived near the first Radar Experimental Station, and tolq of many: interesting things she had seen. "We like to think of the brighter side of life and of the brighter times that will come = when all things will be restored; when free- dom will once again be man's her:- tage". England is the home of great poels and philosophers; its people are the salt of the earth. In concluding her talk Mrs. Mur- doch sald that Canada had helped immeasurably to ease the burden and to make the lot of ner coun- trymen and women more pleasant, "Canada has opened her doors for new citizens to enter, the door of hope, with its heritage of freedom". "We are conscious of the great kindness $hown us--it will help us regain our faith." ° : On behalf of all present, Mrs. Wheeler tendered Mrs. Murdoch sincere thanks for her fine talk. A novelty in the form of "Cha- rades" was introduced by Mrs. Hos- kin, with some of the members acting a well-known nursery rhyme, and a much used word. Lunch was served by Mrs. Kemp and her committee. Mrs. John Wil- liams, fancy work convener, enlist ed the aid of those willing to make aprons, novelties, knitting etc. Some sample articles were displayed. Congratulations are extended to the members of the Michael family who played such a prominent part in the trophy competitions at tiie Oshawa Curling Club during the winter months. PLEADED NOT GUILTY An article in The Times-Gazette last Monday prejudiced the position of Arthur R. Maynard, Trenton, charged in Magistrate's Court with auto theft. It stated he pleaded guilty to the charge when his plea was innocent, and he was remanded on bail of $1,000 to April 12. Defence counsel is BR. D. Humphrey, K.C.

Photo Mark Birthday William Booth Here Sunday The. Oshawa Corps of the Salva- tion Army will celebrdte the 119th anniversary of the bifth of Wil- liam Booth, founder of the Salva- 'tion Army on Sunday when meet- ing will be conducted by Col. Rich- ard Adby, an associate of William Booth. Col. Adby, an outstanding evangelist for many years, at 82 years of age, retains the fervor of a lifetime spent in the service of One hundred and nineteen years ago, April 10th, 1829 William Booth, The Founder of The Salva- tion Army was born. Fatherless at 13 his early life was one round of drudgery and poverty, Converted at 15, he became the leader of a young red-hot band of soul savers. The secret of success, as he said in af- ter years: "I resolved that God should have all there was of Wil- liam Booth" Supplying for another evangelist in tent services on an old burying ground in Whitechapel, London, he discovered his life work. Returning home he said to his wife: "O Kate, I have found my destiny! These are the people for whose salvation I have been olnging for all these years. . .I have offered you and the children up for this great wasrk. These people sholl be our people, and they shall have our God for their God". Even in' his early years he pos- sessed a "fighting spirit", Later he expressed it as follows: "While women weep as they do now, I'll fight; while men go to pri- son, in and out, as they do now, 11 fight, While children fo hungry, as they do now, Ill fgilit. . .GO STRAIGHT FOR SOULS AND GO FOR THE WORST." Terrific opposition from all quarters was the lot of the infant organization, Imprisonments, mis- understanding, riots, seemed to be the order of the day. The enemy, not content with mere cries of de- rision, dirt and garbage were thrown, blows and kicks were a common occurrence. Thus cradled, the new converts developed into some of the finest soldiers of Christ that the world had ever seen. William Booth was an inspired leadér. He won for his people open-air freedom. In explaining his position to King Edward VII he stated: "Some men's passion is gold, some men's passion is power, some men's pas- sion i art, but my passion is man!" Death came to William Booth at the age of 83 and his last words were; "The promises of God are sure, if you will only believe" Over 65,000 people viewed his body lying in state at Clapton. Over 20,000 attended the service round the coffin in Olympia, Lon- persons proces= don. Seven thousand marched in the funeral sion. . . The impact of William Booths personality and his message been felt throughout the world, and many folk in Oshawa have to rise and call his memory blessed, 6,600 In Detroit Lose Day's Work Detroit, Mich,, Apgil 9--(CP)-- About 6,600 workers were idled by wildcaat strikes in the two Detroit plants yesterday.

May Be This Year Treasurer Replies To Budget Query Toronto, April 9 (CP)--A hint that Ontario residents may face gasoline rationing this year was given in the Legis- The word came from Provincial Treasurer Frost as the house continued budget debate. A. A. MacLeod (L.P.P.= Toronto Bellwoods) had asked why the estimates provided for a drop of more than $1,000,000 in gasoline tax revenue "There may be gas rationing," Mr. Frost replied. He. The house earlier heard Prem-® ier Drew assert that the province is continuing and increasing its immigration activities. . Its air immigration plan has ended but the government was working in other ways to encourage immi- grants, including a number of Netherlanders, to settle in Ontario. The house gave first reading to three government bills. An amend- ment to the Hotel Fire Safety Act provided, among other things, that a floor plan showing exits and how to reach them must be placed in every hotel bedroom. A light- ning rod act amendment called for licensing of lightning rod sales- men and installers. An amend- ment to the Crown Timber Act would give the province authority to increase or decrease Crown dues payable in respect of any kind of timber. i Budget debate speakers, in ad- dition to Mr. MacLeod, were Gar- field Anderson (CCF-Fort Wil- liam), Stanley Hunt (PC-Renfrew North), William Docker (CCF- Kenora), A. Holland Acres (PC- Carleton), J. Fred Edwards (PC- Perth), and J. A. Habel (L-Coch- rane North). The debate is ex- pected to continue next Tuesday. Speaking during discussion of health department estimates, Health Minister Kelley said it was planned to equip additional hos- | pitals with X-ray equipment for use in detecting tuberculosis. He also said ah extra $1,000,000 was included in this year's estimates to provide for improved operation of mental hospitals. = | : Mr. Kelley said the aim is to reach a stage where all nurses, at- tendants and patients are X-rayed when entering a hospital. He not- ed that 467 nurses had contracted tuberculosis during the last few years. Health estimates for this year are almost $22,000,000 of which $4,437,350 will go to tuberculosis prevention and treatment. Grants to thé various clinics are: Ottawa $11,700; Belleville $17,200; North Bay $15,700; Fort William $3,300. Last year $3,379,730 was estimat- ed for tuberculosis prevention and treatment. Mr. Kelley addressed a plea to the people to approach mental sickness with the right mental at- titude. He cautioned that mental sickness is the same as any other illness and can be cured. Mr. Docker suggested in the budget debate that a course might be given in schools and colleges to teach people to drink in modera- tion. Mr. Acres said the province's housing plan might well be ex- tended to include loans to war vet- erans to encourage them to settle on Ontario's vacant farms. He said hundreds of farms were either va- cant or used only as pasture. Mr. Anderson discussed accom- plishments of the C.C.F. party since it came to power in Saskat- chewan. Mr. Hunt urged construction of a bridge over the Ottawa River at Pembroke. It would link Pembroke os road from Hull on the Quebec side. Mr. MacLeod said Ontario's'$25,- 000,000 surplus for 1947-48 could have doubled expenditures on more than a dozen social benefits. Mr. Habel said he objected to the provincial government spend- ing $500,000 to bring immigrants from the United Kingdom. He said he was not opposed to immi- gration but thought the expendi+ ture too high. Mr. Edwards expressed hope the government soon would increase old age pensions and abolish the means test~ It was his maiden speech in the house. Poem Recalls 116th Ont. County Batt. The following poem was written by the late Percy H. Punshon, a former resident of Oshawa, on the eve of the departure of the 116th Battalion for overseas in World War I. Veterans of the C.EF. unit are holding their annual! reunion at the Genosha Hotel on April 23. In clarion tones from Motherland there comes a call for aid, And our County of Ontario has heard, And we answer with the courage that we know will never fade, Or in our Country's history be blurred. So in this our new batallion under Military laws, We will Sie uphold the honor of our clan And pray the God of Battles to aid our righteous cause, And give us victory, fighting man to man, "Fidelis et Paratus" our motto true and strong. A motto that should linger in the mind, Faithful to King and Country, ready to punish wrong. Willing to have peace with all mankind. But Peace must be with honor--and honor come with peace, Before we leave the field or sheathe the sword, No matter how the suffering and danger may increase. The future will produce its own reward. We will follow in the footsteps of the lion hearts of yore, Who fought for Britain's freedom and who guarded Britain's shore, "Fidelis et Paratus" is the motto that we claim, And we hope to earn its meaning too, in deed as well as name. We are going out to battle in the fue ture--overseas, For that old flag which long has braved the Battle and the Breeze. The County of Ontario now claims us as its Sons And in honor of the Empire we will bravely man our guns, "Fidelis et Paratus" a motto truly fit For those who leave their Country dear to do their little bit, In freedom, truth, and righteousness, our faith is ever steady "Fidelis et Paratus" teaches Faithful, Boys and Ready. ----P HP.
