TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1948 \ PAGE NINE B.C. Toll Is 10 Dead, Many er -------------- Receding THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Homeless, $25 Million Loss Waters Leave Devastation Over Wide Area Vancouver, June 15 (CP)--Rehabilitation was the key- note in flood-swept British Columbia today as the province surveyed the toll and licked its wounds. Rampaging waters were receding and evacuees were preparing to return to their silt-encrusted homes, weakened and otherwise damaged by weeks of unprecedented floods. The federal government was be-®-- ing asked what it planned doing to help put farmers in the stricken Fraser Valley back on their feet. James Sinclair, member for Van- couver North, said in the Commons Monday night that an "immediate" announcement of the government's plans would do much for the mor- ale of the victims, who have lost an estimated $25,000,000 in crops, livestock, farm homes, barns and implements. Surveys also showed a death list of possibly 10, with many more in- jured and thousands homeless. "Operation Sandbag" -- The task of the RC.AF. -- was suspended Monday. Navy and Army personnel recruited for flood duties were re- duced. Mr. Sinclair, querying the govern- ment concerning its pledge to join the province in financing British olumbia's recovery, said this coun- try has done so much for the hungry people of Europe that the people expect the government to do as much if not more, for the people of British Columbia. He wanted to see a long-range gram of flood control and dyk- to prevent future flood damage ill the fertile Fraser Valley. Meantime flood relief plans were discussed in Victoria at. a cabinet neeting called by Premier Johnson. A two-man Fraser Valley Rehabili- ation Commission continued its surveys, expected to be ready by the week-end. endered Shower At Whitevale L.

Two new tellers' enclosures have also been added, increasing the staff's efficiency and shortening customers' waiting time. Remodelling of the counter screen to give the office a more modern appearance and the addi- tion of a new door to give access to customers' safety deposit boxes complete the renovations. Painting and redecoration of the office, just finished, make the branch brighter and more pleasant for both custom- ers and staff. Commenting on the alterations, Mr. Argo says he is very pleased with the improved appearance of his office. He hopes many more Oshawa residents will come in and inspect the changes.

Y. June 15 -- (CP)--Western power concern over Soviet Russia's bid to send military ovservers into Palestine is expected to receive its first forma) airing to- day in the United Nations Security Council. Russian delegate Andrei Gromy- ko will probably force the western powers to vote out request that Russia be allowed to"$end such ob- servers into Palestine to check any violations during the four-week truce which entered its fifth day today. Informed sources here said that the Russian proposal will be couns tered at the council meeting this af- ternoon wit hthe claim that the staff of Count Folke Bernadotte, the U. N. Mediator, is adequate. Berna- dotte asked for 21 military obser- vers--seven from each of the coun- tries represented on the truce com- mission, the United States, France and Belgium. Monday night Bernadotte advis- ed Secretary-General Trygve Lie that he may put control officers in several ports to check on immi- grants embarking for Palestine dur- ing the four-week truce in the Holy Land, e Happeared to lie to ask U.N. member governments directly to in- struct their immigration depart- ments to co-operate and to take note of the immigration situation, Under Bernadotte's interpreta- tion, immigration of men of emili- tary age into Palestine is banned for the pericd of the truce. A U.N. press officer said control officers would have no authority to halt immigrants bu tcould make re- ports. Presumably the U.N. could ask governments to stop the immi- grants. FIRE IN HOSPITAL Toronto, June 15--(CP)--A fire in the occupational therapy room at Sunnybrook Hospital Monday night caused an estimated $400 damage to the room and $300 to its contents.

Y.,, June 15 -- (CP)--Russia is expected to renew her fight today to put three chains of American-held Pacific Islands within range of the United Nations veto. The former Japanese ' mandated islands, comprising the Marianas, Carolines and Marshalls, are being occupied and administered by the United States under a U.N. strate- gic area trsuteeship, They ingude such bases as Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Turk, Eniwetok and Kwaja- lein. The thusteeship agreement was approved unanimously by the Secur- ity Council April 2, 1947. Since that time a battle has been under way' behind the closed doors of the coun- cil"s committee of experts over U.N. rights in the area. Russia has insisted throughout that all authority be vested directly in the Security Council, where she holds the, big-power veto along with Britain, France, China and the Un- ited States. The majority contends tha tthe veto-less trusteeship coun- cil should be assigned most of the work. The experts finally gave up and reported the deadlock to the parent council. The issue comes up for dis- cussion at a 3 pm. EDT) council meeting today. Another point of difference be- tween Russia and the majority is the Russian demand that the Se- curity Council provide for periodic visits to the strategic islands. Triose opposing Russia apparently feel that such a clause would conflict with terms of the trusteeship agreement which gave the United States the right to close the islands for secur- ity 'reasons, erect fortifications and maintain troops and naval bases. The three chains include 98 is- lands with a total population of 48,- had been using in carpentry work. | 000 Boston Mills, June 15--Standing with bowed heads two Ontario may- ors, Hiram and Frank McCallum, chief magistrates of Toronto and Oshawa respectively, paid tribute on Sunday to some of their early ancestors buried in a small ceme- tery here at the foothills of Cale- don Mountains. Making a special trip from their homes, the two brothers paid hom- age as this tiny cemetery celebrat- ed its 125th anniversary. The burial place, in Peel County, is located 10 miles north of Brampton. The cemetery has a curious his- tory as a burial ground. In 1823 an immigrant from Mer- ionethshire, North Wales, David Williams, was felling a tree on a strip of land of what is now known as the corner of the second line and 27 sideroad, Chinguacousy Township. Crashing to earth, the tree fat- ally pined the unfortunate man, on- ly 29 at the time, beneat.. it. Later, wrapped in the bark from the same tree, he was buried at the foot of the stump. Born near Caledon East, both McCallum brothers have cause to know the cemetery well for it is here that their great-grandparents, Hi- {ram and Ann Everett Casley, are buried. In 1860 the Caslor family moved from the Streetsville district, and built their home on Lot 33 of the second line Chinguacousy. Six years later Hiram Caslor, after whom the Toronto mayor is nam- ed, built a grist and carding mill, which he operated until the time of his death. A sqn, John, married Mary Noble, a local farmer's daughter, and it was their oldest daughter, Janette, who is the mother of the two fam- ous mayor, brothers. Mrs. McCallum, Sr., still has two brothers, Hiram and Bill Caslor, living, Hiram just a short distance | from Boston Mills, and Bill in New Westminster, B.C. The latter retur- ned for this first time in 40 years to his birthplace, to take part in the anniversary services. Wk Today we Live in a Greater Canada Through their Eyes «+. CANADA is the most desired of countries, It represents hope and opportunity. It is where they want to be. The dream of millions overseas is a reality for us. "To see ourselves as others see us" strengthens our realization of our country's new importance in the modern world. The Canada that emerged from the war is a far greater country than we ever thought possible -- a country of vastly increased and varied productivity -- with a million more employed than before the war -- with a new wealth of interesting careers awaiting those alive to the oppor. tunities around them, 125,000 APPLICATIONS were on file in Ontario House, London, when Ontario began its immigration plan. It has been estimated that at least 809, of the displaced persons in Germany want to emigrate to Canada. SIGNIFICANT, too, is the number of new plants established here by foreign firms. Specially interesting are those built up by wartime refugees, of whom CANADA 'is increasingly attractive for visitors too!
