Wrong Word In McInnes Story In a page three story of The Times-Gazette yesterday, it was er- roneously reported in the second paragraph fhat Mrs. Grace McIn- nes of the Cooperative Common- wealth Federation 'accused the Progressive Conservative and Labor governments of favoring the big in- terests . . ." The word 'Labor' should be replaced by the word 'Liberal'. The paragraph should read: Mrs. McInnes accused the Progressive Conservative and Liberal govern- ment of favoring the big interests and large corporations and gave this reason for the relaxing of price con- trols. The C.C.F. party would main- tain the necessities of daily living such as bread, milk, butter and eggs at a just price, Mrs. McInnes con- tended.

Hogs Toronto, May 15--(CP)--Hog pri- ces were unsettled at Stratford, in markets reporting today. Spitfires Attack (Continued from Page 1) dropped her 25-year-old mandate in the Holy Land. The raiding planes were described unofficially as Spitfiares or Spit- fire-type fighters. They came in low, dived and dropped six bombs at the edge of the Tel Aviv airport, near the power station. Airport workers said Jewish fighters drove them off. Persons in the neighborhood said they believed the casualties were caused by one bomb that hit a small building. Tel Aviv was blacked out all night, but no siren sounded for the raid. Israel, recognzied by the United States Friday night after the decla- ration was signed, faced a threat of invasion of Palestine by Arab neighbors--said by one source to be already under way. The Cairo newspaper Al Assas re- ported without confirmation Fri- day night that two Egyptian Army columns entered the Holy Land at dawn Friday, Egypt later announc- ed she had ordered her armed forces .into the country. Hgaana, the Israelite army, rush- ed troops to frontiers to fight off any attack. In Haifa, Hagana sour- ces' sald Jewish troops had sur- rounded Arab Acre to the north across a bay, on the coastal route from Lebanon. Inhabitants of Haifa, Palestine's biggest port and now largely in Jewish hands, heard cannon and mortar fire and saw gun flashes from Acre. Britain, who captured Palestine from the Turks in 1917 and became official League of Nations manda- tory power in 1923 = gave up the mandate when her High Commis- sioner, Gen. Sir Alan Cunningham, sailed from Haifa at midnight. British troops are expected to be out by Aug. 1. - The Jews quickly brought into being their first mation in nearly 2,000 years, claiming the statehood promised them in the partition plan voted by the U. N. Assembly Nov. 20 but not carried out. The seven-state Arab League, whose leaders conferred this week in Damascus, has proclaimed a state of war with Palestine Jews and promised to set up civil ad- ministration over Palestine Arabs. 1st $30 Million (Continued from Page 1) | struction of additional hospital ac- | | commodation, on the basis of $1,000 a bed for active-treatment beds and $1,500 a bed for chronic or | convalescent beds.

He said hospitals now Bre | overcrowded and until the situation | is corrected a national health insur- | ance program could not properly | operate. He recalled that the Dominion | first outlined its health insurance | program to the Dominion-provin- | cial conference of 1945 which broke | up in failure a year later. The gov-- ernment had decided that the fail- | ure to reach taxation agreements | with all the provinces should not longer stand in the way of improve- ments in health services. i Health Minister Martin said la- ter at a press conference that he could not indicate when the federal | proposals will become effective. He would meet provincial health min- | isters and their assistants as soon as | the money was voted by parliament. | The announcement provided the | highlight of the Commons day. Al- | though several pieces of legislation were dealt with; debate moved slowly and without major incident. In the opening question period, | External Affairs Minister St. Lau- | rent said he does not think the dis- orders in troubled Palestine are as | bad as it was first feared they might be. He stressed the hope the United | Nations will continue to exert an influence there. Later, he obtained approval of a bill giving the federal cabinet au- thority to implement the peace treaties with Italy, Romania, Hun- gary and Finland. During debate on the measure he said he does not think that Britain will ever again | sign treaties on behalf of the whole ! commonwealth. | Another measure providing for in- | corporation of the Canadian Legion | was adopted after Jean Francois | Pouliot (Ind L.-Temiscouata) com- | plained that the organization is re- | fusing to give membership to vice | who did not volunteer for service overseas with the Canadian forces, | even though they actually may have | served overseas under conscription | legislation.

Oshawa has no enclosed park with proper facilities to watch outdoor events of any type in the evening. Play-off season means early games which the work- ing man cannot attend. Recreational facilities for all ages are strongly needed in this city.

All finances have passed through Mrs. Gorrie's hands, and are, I am' sure, in good order, though there has never been a clear-cut arrangement of column headings, nor has Mrs. Gorrie had definite instructions regarding the exact placing of certain items of expense. This should be ,organized as soon as possible. Articles of equipment and all supplies are in a state of use. An 7 inventory has been taken of sup- plies and equipment. The leather- craft shop makes the best showing in both service rendered and in its present financial state, with some $50 worth of tools in constant use and a three.weeks' supply of leather on hand. Turnover has been in the neighbourhood of $250 and $275 per month. Present in- vestment in the leathershop is approximately $300 as per inven- tory. Other inventories will show the | state of each department. Sports equipment on hand should, I feel, be regarded as nil for carry- over purposes since softball bats and balls and the inflated balls deteriorate very badly during win- ter storage. There wasn't much left over after last summer's opera. tions anyway. Hockey pads are in good condition and are now in storage. We have never been ahead of the demand on any of these sup- plies. New buying for the summer program of 1948 has not yet been | authorized or budgeted for. In the woodshop, most of the expenditure has been for bringing the supplies and equipment up to a good working level. There has not been a very great cash return, but an inventory should reveal that this department could operate effi- ciently if interested staff were in charge. Sufficient money is being spent here to have a good staff person. Gyn equipment is mostly the property of the Air Cadet Commit- tee of the Rotary Club and is just on loan. Good use has been made of the gym facilities by all age groups and a better staff plan would show even finer possibilities and results. Again, this depart- ment has been costing enough for part-time staff to pay a qualified instructor. Relations with all civic groups, service clubs, neighbourhood asso- ciations and youth groups have been friendly, co-operative and progressive. No attempt has been made to dominate or force the sit- uation; our role has rather been one of encouragement and the pre- senting of the opportunities for full community development. Under this policy much has been accom. | plished in a quiet but sound way. | Neighbourhood Associations are a strong, valuable development. They will need constant and sym- | pathetic assistance from the direc- tor of recreation. Everything pos- sible should be done to assist their | growth and strengthen their role in | the community. They are the heart | of this community movement and can keep C.R.A. practical in the face of doubtful theories and prac. tices. No attempt should be made to cut down either their influence or their voice in C.R.A. affairs. They are the people. I would recommend reconsidera- tion of the policy that limits the attendance of youth at the C.R.A. Building. , If boys and girls from 13 to 17 years of age are banned from good recreation facilities after 6 o'clock, we have no right to speak with concern of juvenile delin- quency in this city. > We have been | mills; 85. 11, 5.1 mills; USS. 4, 2.3 shutting the door on them at a mills; USS. 5, 3.8 mills; USS. 6, road maintenance, $32,000; bridge | and bridges, $5,659 for charity and most effective work and at a time in their lives when good staff would make the most lasting impression. Adults seem to enjoy mixing with the younger group as it has been tried in the Friday night periods during these past five months. In all my work and planning I have tried to keep in mind the fact that recreation is for the bene- fit of all the citizens of a whole community, that those who hold positions of trust, either as repre- | sentatives of these citizens or as | paid employees of them, have ! clear-cut function '0 perform. Per- | sonalities should be secondary to! the greatest good of the whole | number In having my work with you brought to an end at this time, I | can only hope that Oshawa may | continue to progress to better things and that whet we have done and how we have done it during | these past two years may stand up | well and be proven genuine. Yours very sincerely, BOB COLEMAN. East Whitby Rate (Continued from Page 1) improvement of road beds an econ- omy measure in the long run. Road Maintenance, $32,000 The $60,000 estimate is. broken down as follows: new roads, $7,200; new bridges and culverts, $4.300; and culvert maintenance, $4,000; machinery, new and repairs, $6500; and overhead, $6,000. While total outlay contemplated is approximately $220,000 it is estim- ated that revenue from sources oth- er than taxation will amount to $52,392, Of the latter amount, $40,748 will be applied to the general rate; $2,300 to charity and welfare; and | $9,343 to school debentures. General township rate, to raise $61,880, is 10.5 mills, compared with 14.7 mills last year. Total estimated expenditure under this head in- cludes, besides the $60,000 for roads welfare; $30,013 for administration; $2,000 for sidewalk repairs; and $10,816 for miscellaneous outlay. Under the latter, Council last night approved a grant of $1,500 to the Oshawa General Hospital. The amount originally asked from the township by the hospital was $3,000. Council was of the opinion fhat the township had a definite com- mitment to the hospital in view of the service rendered to its residents but felt that $1,500 was all that it was in a position to pay tais year. Under administration, $12,800 was provided for salaries; $2,000 {or school nursing service; $1,400 for health and sanitation; $8,000 for fire protection; $4,500 for police; and $1,313 for street lights. The school nursing amount covered the employment of a full-time nurse during the latter half of the year. Miscellaneous included a recrea- | tion grant of $1,400; $3,000 for in- terest on loans; $1,400 for printing | and supplies; $400 for court of re- vision; $200 for agricultural grants; and $600 for alterations carried out at the township offices. County levy, which is up from $29,808 to $45,166 this year, amounts to 7.8 mills as compared' with 10.8 last year, while the general school rate is 2.7 mills as against 56 in 1947. Amount to be raised by the latter is approximately $15,287. The remainder of the 21 mill rate is made up of .6 mills for relief and 4 mills for general debentures. These rates compare with one mill and .8 mills respectively a year ago. The separate schoor rate this year is four mills while those in the var- ious school sections are as follows: S88. 1, 82 mills; S.8. 3, 4 mills; 8.8. 4, 2.1 mills; SS. 5, 3 mills; SS. 6, 3 mills; 8:8. 9, 2 mills; SS. 10, 5.1 time when we could be doing our | 5.4 mills, Invasion Troops (Continued from Page 1) troops regularly stationed in the Sinai Peninsula. Recent estimates of these troops have ranged from 6,000 to 16,000. The Premier's statement followed King Farouk's decwee declaring martial law throughout Egypt and appointing Nokrashy Pasha military governor, The decree was effective the first minute after midnight, just as the Jews' new State of Israel was born in Palestine and just after the Bri- tish mandate ended. About the same time, Sheik Ma- moun' Al Nainawi broadcast a call for a Mosleen --Jihad (Holy war) on Israel's Jews. He is rector of Cairo's 1,000-year-old El-Azhar Un- iversity and spiritual leader of the world's Moslems. The seven-state Arab League, whose leaders have met this week in Damascus, two nights ago pro- claimed a state of war between Palestine Jews and the League countries--Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Le- banon, Trans-Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Vemen, It is pledged to set up a civil administration over Palestine Arab communities. Iraqi troops have been massing in Trans-Jordan, and some 3,000 of Trans-Jordan's Arab Legion al- ready is in the Holy Land, brought there by British authorities for po- lice duty. Party Yoaders (Continued from Page 3) public meeting that the proposed council would establish rent con- trols on commerical premises to protect the small" busmess man from increases such as some have | been forced to pay since federal controls were lifted. Mr. Joliffe said private enter- prises and mew partnerships had increased under a C.C.F. govern- ment in Saskatghewan. "In 1946 Saskatchewan had 754 partnerships registered as compar- ed with only 201 in the last year of the Liberal regime. New com. panies increased from 74 in 1944 to 182 in 1946. In the first 21% years since the C.C.F. took office, 1,307 new partnerships got under way in the Western provinces and 335 'new companies." Mr, Jolliffe said the Drew govern- ment, if re-elected, might try to outlaw trade unions. "Don't be too sure it can't hap- pen here under a Tory government if it can happen in Prince Edward Island under a Liberal government. It is difficult for a bona fide trade | union .to operate in British Col- umbia and it is becoming so in Al. berta and Quebec."
