2AGE NINE Aldershot Bears No Grudge - THE, DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE CROSSWORD - - - By Eugene Sheffer| TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1948 New Minister Doubt If War Prime Minister In College Always At ead Of His Class By REGINALD HARDY Citizen Parliamentary Writer EARLY DAYS When A. L. Breithraupt, King's room mate at Varsity, decided to get married he selected King as his best man, "We were both about 28 years of age at that time," he recalled. "How about King in those days?" I asked. "Did he show much of an interest in the girls?" "He had many girl friends in hist youth," said Breithaupt, "but he never seemed to single out- any one individually for his particular attentions, He was popular, took girls to dances and entertainments, but I guess he just never fell in love with any of them like you or I would. If he did he suppressed it. "King played football with the rest of us," he continued, "but he did it just for exercise, not because he was particularly keen on sport." Was he a smart student? He most certainly was. He was always at the head of his class. And you know, of course, that he was a medalist at Varsity. "King was always ready to help a fellow out at college,' he con- tinued. "Anyone who wanted help merely had to ask and King would give him his assistance. King just knew his subjects, and could give an extemporaneous - lecture off the bat on any of them." "What about Saturdays?" I ask- ed. "Did King ever take any time off for fun?" "I can remember on Saturday af- ternoons when some of us would hike down the Don Valley," remin- isced Mr, Breithaupt. "Half the time King would stay at home to get his work in shape for Monday. "He was always a moderate man. never smoked that I know of, hough he never objected to any- one else doing so. I don't think'he drank at all during his college days, but he was no prig and he didn't mind what the other fellow "I have never seen him in what you might call a rage. He always had such perfect control of his own mind. He didn't always agree with you, and he usually was able to prove you were wrong, but he was always ready to admit your right to your own opinions. "He was always popular. He was mever a bookworm to the extent that he forgot everything else. I think he had political ambitions, though, from the time he was a small boy. These were no doubt inspired by stories which his mother had told him about his maternal grand- father, William Lyon Mackenzie." Mention of King's mother touch~ ed off another train of reminisc- ence. "As to 's parents," said Mr. Breithaupt, "his father, a lawyer, was a very fine man, much looked up to in the community. But he had a particularly brilliant moth- er. She was a truly brilliant per- son, a fine hostess. We all thought Mrs. King an exceptionally clever woman, And she was warm-heart- ed and kind, a real mother. They used to give parties at the King House and Mrs. King always enter- ed into the spirit of them as if she was of our own age. King's father, on the other hand, was more digni- fied and quiet." Mr, Breithaupt remembered the King sisters as "very nice girls." "They were a nice little family," he added. He recalled the Kings' horse, "Billy," as a gréy one, although it was more nearly khite. "Everyone knew everyone else's horse," he ex- plained. * b + "It was no secret that the Kings left Kitchener because there just wasn't enough legal business lying around to provide a business for all the lawyers in the town," ex- ned Mr. Breithaupt. 'There too many lawyers in the place nd the were not good nough in the little law-abiding ommunity to provide a living for 11 the members of the legal fra- ity. There was a particular reason for this, too. The citizens were largely of Pennsylvania Dutch origin, and it is against their re- ligion to go to law. They settled eir differenees in church through he medium of a church commit- tee. They still do, very largely. | "And this was, no doubt, a de- inite contributing factor to the ack of law business. It was not or any lack of ability or popularity on the elder Mr. King's part he eft Kitchener and went to Toronto o practice." LB 3 Going back over the years when he boys of the town used to go horse-back riding, Mr. Breithaupt phuckled when he remembered one pccasion when Canada's future Prime Minister and himself very nearly found their way into the own lock-up. "We used to have a little riding ub in those days," he explained. Six or eight of us had horses and ve used to go riding on Saturday fternoons. One Saturday we'd dden down. to Preston. On the vay back, when we came to the dge of town, we decided to have race. We were tearing along at , great clip when we reached the own limits and then we found that hi right | 4 we couldn't check our horses. So we galloped madly down the main street, "The clatter of our horses' hoofs and our shouts and cries as we at- tempted to rein in our steeds, at- tracted the atténtion of the town constable who, as a rule, was usual- ly decorating the inside of some hotel. But this time he happened to be on hand and he ran out into the middle of the street and tried to stop us. "But we couldn't stop our hors- es and we clattered by in a fine flurry of dust and excitement. We all expected to land in jail (reck- less driving would have been the charge today) and we were scared stiff. But apparently we were go- ing so fast that the constable couldn't make out who we were. At any rate, although we worried for a time, we heard no more about it." LA BE Serious again, Mr. Breithaupt said he believed that Canadians could not see King in true perspec- tive, He believed that the "British and others throughout the world" saw King as an outstanding figure. "They see. him in his homeland, the leader not only of the great party, but the leader of the govern- ment and as the representative of Canada. The British think a good deal of Canada, you know," he ad- ed Certainly locally, King had not been properly appreciated," he thought, "One of the biggest mistakes this riding ever made was to turn down Billy King," he declared. "It was the hardest crack Billy ever got." (To Be Continued Daily) Australia Seeks Defence Plants From Gt. Britain Canberra, July 6--(Reuters) -- Prime Minister Chifley, now on his way to London for talks with the British Government, is to revive plans for a decentralization of Com- monwealth defence industries. An official statement issued here said that these plans will be linked with "Australian and New Zealand proposals for mass emigration of Britons to the two Dominions. So far the British Government has turned down any suggestion of mass emigration and it is believed that Chifley will put it forward more in hope than expectation. The idea of shifting British in- dustries to Dominion countries has also not been received enthusiasti- cally by the British Government but some quarters here are of the opin- ion gaat the march of events will force Britain to adopt it. The Australian Defence Depart- ment has always believed that if Australia is to take a bigger share in British Commonwealth defence, steps must be taken to build up her industrial capacity. This would mean emigration and the transfer of complete sections of industry.

DAWES BLACK HORSE BREWERY 2 One of a series of advertisements in tribute to those Canadians in the service of the public Will BeSequel To Blockade (Editor's note: Norman Cribbens, Canadian Press staff writer, has just returned to London from a story-gathering trip to Berlin, The story gives his views on the implications of the present delicate situation in the former German capital.) By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer London, July 6. -- (CP) -- The Western Allies' stubborn refusal to be pushed out of Berlin had prompted this universal question: "Will the Russian blockade of the slender causeway connecting Berlin with the Western occupation zones lead to war?" % The general view among Foreign Office officials here is that, while the present situation in Germany could lead to local incidents in Berlin, the Big Powers will stop short of war. Though Soviet Russia seems ada- mant in its refusal to lift the block- ade of Berlin, no been made, as far as is known, to interfere with the fleet of aircraft now taking vital supplies to Ber- lin' from the' British and American zones. If the Russians were determined to force a showdown over Berlin re- gardless of the consequences, it's likely they would have taken dras- tic steps to block the air corridor by now. Russian officials and pro-Com- munist Germans in Berlin assured me repeatedly that the Soviet will go a long way to preserve peace. British, American and French of- ficials insisted that the Western Powers would do all in their pow- er to avoid a large-scale clash . in arms. To quote a Russian writer in the Russians' daily Taeglische Runds- chau: "No sane power would seek to plunge the world into a fresh war so soon after the last. Russia wants peace as much as any. country but she is determined to protect Ger- many from capitalistic aims." At the time of the currency cris- is, most Germans seemed doubtful whether the Western Allies would be able to remain in Berlin. They argued that the Russians control the city's power station and could easily obstruct air traffic if they wished to do so. Events of the last week may have caused the Germans to change their views. CANADIAN BELLS HUNG London, July 6--(CP)--A chime of 18 Canadian-donated bells were hoisted Monday into the belfry of All Hallows Church, Barking-by- the-Tower. The bells, donated by J. W.

"If you meet anyone who says he is still disgruntled over windows be- ing smashed by Canadians just you take no notice because Aldershot doesn't feel like that," S. G. Bad- ham, fruit store owner, said in an interview. He recalled how three years ago Canadian troops broke '611 plate glass windows and 167 smaller panes in a riot protesting slow re- patriation. "There was a kind of good humor about the whole business," said D. Lewellyn Griffiths, Town Clerk. His doughter Evelyn married a Ca- nadian, Capt. G. R. Bradshaw cf Victoria, B.C, and now lives in London, ? Total riot damage was estimated at £10,000 ($40,000) with 232 pro- perties damaged. But Badham emphasized today: "The Canadian government treated us well and I am quick to say it." Porker Objects To Being Bacon, Snaps Man's Leg Waltford, Ont, July 6--(CP) --A pig made one last heroic effort to prevent her conversion into bacon Sunday--it was all in vain, but her efforts cost the would-be executioner a broken leg. . As she was about to meet her end, the porker lunged sudden- ly against William Gagon, frac- turing his leg. Gagon was taken to hospital and the execution postponed, Chinese Students Wreck City Hall Peiping, July 6 -- (AP) -- Angry students Monday wrecked, the City Council Chamber and mauled two officials and several policemen in protesting a resolution to send them to military training camps.

Every window inside was smashed as was the furniture. All wiring was ripped out. Chinese students consider them- selves privileged and are always indignant at suggestions that they serve in the army. COAL LOSS EXPECTED London, July 6 --(Reuters)--The National Coal Board, which runs the nationalized British coal min- ing industry, was expected to re- port a loss of about £20,000,000 ($80,000,000) on the first year .of operation, indicating at the same time that in the last three months the industry has begun to pay its way. The coal industry became the property of the country Jan. 1, 1947. No Request Made For Dominions To Lend Planes London, July 6--(CP)--The For- eign Office has discussed the pos- sibility of the Dominions providing aircraft for moving supplies to Ber- lin but no formal request for such belp will be made unless the situa- tion requires it. The Forejgn Office, in a statement issued July 1, said Foreign Secre- tary Bevin had discussed the Ber- lin situation with the high com- missioners "and referred to the pos- sibility of seeking concentrated food= stuffs and transport aircraft." Because of Russian restrictions the only communication route open between the Western occupation zones of Germany and Berlin is by air . The statement added: "No request for the supply of aircraft will be made unless further developments in the situation should reduire this." The Canadian Press, in reporting the Foreign Ocfice statement, in- terpreted it to mean that the For- eign Office had decided not to press the request. The preyious day a Foreign Office spokesman told the Canadian Press in a telephone con- versation that the request for air craft had been made. Text of the foreign office state= ment of July 1 follows: . "In speaking to the Common- wealth High Commissioners on Monday concerning the situation in Germany, Mr. Bevin mentioned the difficulties which would arise in supplying Berlin by air and referred to the possibility of seeking concen. trated foodstuffs and transport air- craft from any of the free countries which might have these readily available. "It is understood that certain gov- ernments have already indicated that they have foodstuffs available. No request for the supply of air- craft will be made unless further developments in the situation should require this."
