SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1948 lS AS PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Eye to Future, Council Plans R.R. Extensions The town: of Whitby - has done considerable preliminary work with a view to making. -inter-switching arrangements with the CPR. so that industries soon to be estab- lished in the Port Whitby area can be better served with transporta- tion facilities, It is also felt that the presence of spur lines would be a distinct attraction to other firms considering locating here. ? Just who will pay for the instal- lations is not known but it is es. tablished that the request for such: facilitfes would properly be initiat- ed by the town of Whitby. and brought before the Board of Trans- port Commissioners for considera- tion. The matter is not one to be settled immediately but neverthe- less an item of importance when related to the industrial future of Whitby. Councillor Harold Mace has been very active in his investi. gations and has told council speci- fically what will have to be done and how much it will cost. Logical allocation of cost would place pay- ment upon those who stand to benefit most from the inter-switch- ing arrangements. Only Whitby Pays Lock-up Costs For Use of Jail A sore point of long standing was broached at the special County Council meeting yesterday by De- puty-reeve D. B. McIntyre of Whit- by. He pointed to Whitby's annual payment of $300 to Ontario County for privilege of using the jail as a lock-up. Other municipalities paid nothing. Some councillors rose to protest that there was scarcely any crime in their areas, It was revealed that by a previous agreement, municipalities were to be billed on a pro rate basis but due to bookkeeping difficulties it had been abandoned except in the case of the county town. Mr. McIntyre contended that it was unfair that Whitby should pay the $300 plus what it pays in the county rate. He said it is up to the clerk to bill these municipalities. No one has been billed since 1943. Clerk William Manning forsaw some difficulty in properly divid- ing costs but promised to investi. gate the problem and report to council what was feasible to collect. Sea Lions Gorge On Fish School Nanaimo, B.C, -- (CP) -- Huge herds of sea lions feasted on ooli- chans, little silver fish valued for its oil and as a table delicacy, and de- parted for the north one month earlier than usual this season, For Dominion Fisheries officials charged with the annual sea lion hunt, the early departure of the quarry came as a surprise and dis- appointment, After the usual five- day hunt for the salmon-destroyers, the patrol ship Atlin Post returned with a kill of only 58 instead of the usual 300. It may be necessary to send an expedition to northern breeding grounds where sea lions can be dis- patched with machine-guns. Ex-Premier in Factory Newark, NJ. May 8 -- (AP) -- Workmen at a radio parts factory learned with surprise Friday that a quiet, hard-working foreigner in overalls at a machine in their midst is Jonas Cernius, former Prime.

Harris, Proprietor PHONE 136 BROOKLIN What County Council Did Clerk of Ontario County Council William to be relieved of his voting power as a member of the Consultative committee on Education. Appoint. ed before he became clerk, he.now wishes to avoid any embarrassing entanglements because of his posi- tion. All members of council wish- ed to continue to have the benefit of his wide knowledge on the sub- ject of areas but agreed that this could be given by him in an unofficial capacity. Therefore Er- nest Hayes was appointed in his place. * eb Crown Attorney Alex 'Hall ad- dressed council on the question of allottment of witness:fees in sum- mary 'conviction cases such as drunk driving, prosecutions under provincial statutes and particular- ly under the Deserted Wives Act. Mr. Hall pointed out that when a person is aequitted and when an appeal against the Crown suceeeds, there is no authority for the Coun- ty treasurer to pay witness. fees. Because some of these cases are in the nature of a personal com- plaint but are laid by a police offi. cer, the officer finds himself liable for payment of witness fees and has to collect from his employers. "I propose that a by-law be passed to authorize the county treasurer to pay the witness fees of those municipalities here ' repre- sented," said Mr. Hall. Procedure would be to charge the fees back to the separate - municipalities. "They have been paid by the Coun- ty in any event, but up until the last couple of weeks no municipal- ity has received a bill for its wit. ness fees." D. B. McIntyre pointed out that as things stood now, the small mu- nicipalities were sharing the load of all townships. W. H. Westney: "This is discour- aging to a police officer to know that he may be saddled with the od of a case if he doesn't win It was decided to do as Mr. Hall suggested for the time and a fur- ther report will be heard in June. * op + Council decided that "the clerk be instructed to ask the county so- licitor .R. D. Ruddy to -prepare an agreement between the county and Oshawa regarding Oshawa's separ. ation from the county home and that a meeting in this connection be arranged. Mr. McIntyre: "Why do we need another agreement -- don't we want to cancel the one we have?" Motion carried.

(CP).--Agricultural experts blame the felling of trees, which act as wind-breaks, for wind- erosion of East Anglian fields. Farmers this year have to resow their fields because of damage by gales, George Burt Raps Minister Of Labor For Union Views Windsor, May 8 (CP)--Prime Minister Mackenzie King should immediately fire Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell or at least change his title to "Minister 'Against Labor", George Burt, Canadian Di- rector, United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.) urged in a statement here Friday. The labor minister should, at the very least, be removed as far as possible from the Commons indus- trial relations committee now at work preparing Canada's new labor code for third reading in the House of Commons, Burt said. "Mitchell was quoted in Thurs- day's newspapers as endorsing indi- vidual bargaining even 'where a union has been certified," Mr. Burt recounted, "By its very definition, collective bargaining means that a union bargains for the group. "On the surface that might look like the infringement of the indi- vidual's rights which the Canadian Manufacturers = Association and Humphrey Mitchell say it is, but how far would I get if I walked onto the floor of the House of Com- mons some day and started talk- ing? I'd be thrown out and nobody would cry about my rights as i citizen being infringed. "It is the same thing in industri- al relations. The union is the demo- cratically elected representative of the workers and no individual work- er has the right to ignore the union and start talking for himself."

A quantity of gold.-bearing oré was found hidden in his Timmins home, Police said they believed DeLuca's connections with the underworld extended from the gold country East to Welland and West to De- troit.
