TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE 290 Candidates Qualify To Seek 90 Seats In Ontario * Three Party Fight In Provincial Poll Is Set for June 7 Toronto, June 1 (CP)--With 290 candidates officially nominated, the Ontario election today entered th: home- stretch. he close of nominations Monday left the June 7 con- test a fight between Progressive Conservatives, Liberals and the C.C.F. A Canadian press compilation showed that both the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals are contesting every seat while the C.C.F. has candidates in 81. The fourth 'largest group is the Union of Electors with 12. Independents round out the field> o The Communist Labor-Progres-" sive party, which in the 1945 gen- eral election ran 31 candidates, has only two entrants in this election. Elsewhere it has announced it will support C.C.F. candidates but the C.CF. repudiates the offer. A record 317 candidates competed for the 90 legislature seats in the 1945 campaign--27 more than in Here Is Ontario Election Line-Up Toronto, June 1--(CP)--Here is the way the three major parties and nine smaller groups line up for the Ontario election June 7 from nom- the present contest. The difference in the number of Labor-Progres- sive party candidates largely ac- counts for the reduction in the total. Premier Drew, in a three-way fight for re-election in Toronto High Park, heads the list of 90 Pro- gressive Conservative candidates. His party won 66 seats in the last election and at dissolution held 65, one being vacant by death. Heading a slate of 88 straight rals, Farquhar Oliver is in a Prar-way fight in the Grey South constituency he had represented since 1926, His party supports Lib- eral-Labor candidates in the re- maining two ridings. The Liberals held 11 seats at dissolution and Liberal-Labor one, E. B. Jolliffe, Ontario C.CF. leader, faces Liberal and Progres- sive Conservative opponents in the York South riding he represented from 1943 to 1945. The C.C.F. house leader, W, J. Grummett, is in a four-way contest in the Northern Ontario riding of Cochrane South. The C.CF. held seven seats at dissolution byt another member was killed in a traffic accident shortly before the election was an- nounced. Sixty - one constituencies have three candidates: there are two- way contests in seven; 19 have four candidates; three have five- man fights; in one, Toronto St. David, there are six candidates. Loses Out H. 8. Emel, who sought to con- test Waterlgo North as a Social Credit ¢éandidate, failed to get into the race because nomination papers were not in order before the 2 pm. deadline for qualifying. Seven women . are - numbered among the candidates--five C.CF. and two Liberal. Three members of the last legislature are contesting the election under new party af- filiation and 10 members of the last house are missing from the field. Majority of the candidates have been in the field for. more than 10 days, but there were a few sur- prise starters at the last minute-- most of them in the independent category. R. Emel, who failed to get into the race because his nomination | papers were not in order before the 2 p.m. deadline for qualifying, had only 92 signatures on his nomina- tion papers when he first visited returning officer F. W. K. Bing- ham's office Monday--100 is the re- quired number. Mr, Emel obtained the remaining ven signatures and 'was waiting Mr. Bingham's office when the wurning officer returned from the ficial nomination meeting in the county court house, Mr. Bingham refused to accept them on the grounds. that closing hour for nominations was passed. Mr, Emel said that he did not know the official meeting was being held in the court house. Mr. Bing- ham replied that day, hour and place of the meeting were clearly shown on the election proclamation. Mr. Emel applied to County Judge E. W. Clement. However, the judge said later there is nothing in the Election Act which would give him jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the candidate. * Of the women candidates, best known is Agnes Macphail, former . Member of Parliament and of the Ontario Legislature, who is contest- ing York East for the C.CF. Three members of the last legis- lature and contesting the election under new party affiliations.

In Sudbury, union leader Robert H. Carlin is running as In- dependet C.CF. The C.C.F. refused to support him in this election on the grounds of his connections with reputed Communists in his union. In Waterloo North, Joseph Meinzinger is running as an In- dependent Conservative. He won the last election as Liberal-Labor. Ten Are Missing Ten members of the last house are missing from the field.

Tanks, Planes Demonstrate Co-Operation Ome of the interesting features of the third annual air show, held at the Oshawa airport on Satur- day, was a demonstration of united action by the 11th Armored (On- tario) Regiment and a squadron of Harvard type planes from Toronto A troop of tanks carried out a mock maneouvre in which a mined area was encountered. The _com- mander of the troop communicated by radio with the leader of the plane group which was cruising over Columbus and the planes came in at roof-top level to clear the area. What made the demonstration more interesting for the crowd was that the tank unit had one of its wireless sets connected witha the public address system on the field CHADBURN SQUADRON AIR CADETS By SGT.

Participants did every- thing from exhibiting their skill in old-time waltzes to collecting milk bottles while garbed as ghosts to win valuable prizes. Prizes included washing machines, 'automatic iron- ers, fishing tackle kits, portable radios, jewelry, handbags and sun- dry other items. . Contestants ranged in age from elderly to the very young and each was awarded a suitable prize. One young couple caused gales of hilar- ity when they were told to exchange clothes and go in search of a "Mrs. Guggenheimer" whose only clue to identity was a strawberry birth- mark just above her left knee. After a search of more than an hour they returned without "Mrs, Guggen- heimer" but for their diligence in searching they were given a num- ber of valuable household goods. In all some 50 men, women and child- ren participated in the program and each was awarded a prize.

Next there were summer uni- | forms to be issued; then a list of supplies to be taken to camp. Then there was a waiver to be signed by Smitty's parents before he would, be allowed to take a flip at camp. Finally there was a brief physical to make sure that Smitty and his friends were fit to take to the air. At last that long awaited day ar- rived; the cadets assembled at the station; the roll was called, and the cadets marched aboard the train. Toronto was the first stop, and the cadets left the train and were marched upstairs where they could have their breakfast if they wished. Some had their breakfast while others decided they would scout around a bit. A funny thing about those who had their breakfast was that they were all raving about an omelette they had had that wis made from powdered eggs. Little did they know that when they were in Toronto on the return trip that they would be so sick of this. type of omelette, and eggs in general that they would not care if they 'ever saw another one, The cadets who decided to scout around were told not to leave the station, and you can rest assured that they carried out the command. If is just that they didn't hear the word "not." Toronto is a dull city a few minutes after eight, but it is never-the-less interesting to see a big city so still in the early morn- ing, almost as if it were dead. Train time arrived again and the cadets sét off for Borden. There was lots of fun and horse-play on the train and the trip is one that has not yet been forgotten by the cadets. The trip to Borden was very slow and the cadets were dressed in their blues which added to the discom- fort of, the boys. Soon the land- scape became sandy and we - all knew Borden was there somewhere. {20 Furniture Workers Strike Get Back Pay Refusing to do any more work until they receive wages for work they have done, 20 employees of the Oshawa Box Company walked out yesterday morning.
