PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE | a A oy Wi SATURDAY, JULY 31, 194 Break British Will In Probate Court London--(CP)--The will of a man who left the whole of his 'property to his country, directing |. that it should be used by the Brit- ish Exchequer "for the secular good of England," was invalidated by the Probate Court. The testator, John Selley Buckle, of Blackpool, died in December, 1943. His will was dated December, 1921. ° . His nephews and nieces alleged that Buckle was not of sound mind, memory and understanding when the will was made. The court agreed. Counsel said Attorney- General Sir Hartley Shawcross, who had intervened in the suit, was supporting the will as made by Buckle. Buckle, it was said, was a tee- totaller and non-smoker and left investments of about £15,000 ($60,000). Monuments Mark Old Gaspe Deaths Douglastown, Que. -- (CP) -- The crash of a twin-motored transport aircraft into a rugged Gaspe cliff near here July 24 with loss of 29 lives, revived memories of other Gaspe disasters and recalled the cemeteries in which many foreign and native mariners rest, victims of the sea and Gaspe's cruel rocks. Tended by villagers, the ceme- teries, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, dot the rugged coastline. One of them is at Cap des Rosier, Gaspe North, where are buried vic- tims of the wreck in which the large sailing vessel "Carricks of White Haven" was smashed on northern rocks in a storm about 85 years ago. Most of the several hundred Irish immigrants the ship was carrying perished and were washed ashore at Cap des Rosier. A monu- ment in their memory was erected some years later by Montreal St. Patrick's parish. Among other remembrances of sea disasters is a monument honor- ing victims of the sinking, May 29, 1914, of the Canadian Pacific Em- press of Ireland, rammed by a Norwegian collier. The memorial stands among victims' graves in a little cemetery at Father Point. 10 Days in Mine, Scadding O.K. Now Toronto--(CP)--Grey-haired Al- fred Scadding sells stamps to col- lJectors in a Toronto department store these days and recalls only now and then the horrors of the 10 days he was entombed in the Moose River, N.S.,, gold mine back in 1936. : Toeless because of the exposure of that awful April, 1936, Scadding is the only survivor of the three men who excited the anxiety of the English-speaking world. Herman Magill died in the caved-in level, and Dr. D. E. Robinson died several years ago. Scadding says that sometimes when sleepless he remembers the tension and the waiting as some of the smartest and toughest min- ers of Nova Scotia chopped their way down the dangerous shaft and rescued the two survivors. Scadding, 56 and healthy looking now, lost 55 pounds during the 1936 ordeal. He weighed 90 pounds when he was hoisted to safety. Timber Output Creates Record Wellington, N.Z., July 27--(CP)-- A good example of what can be achieved through harmony between employers and employees has been given in recent years by the New Zealand timber trade--an industry which is playing an increasingly important part in the Dominions economy. This co-operation has resulted in output records being broken reg- ularly and annual target figures being exceeded, In return the work- ers have been awarded higher scales of wages than those applying gener- ally throughout the Dominion for similar work, The commissioner of state forests, C. F. Skinner, has announced that the output drive by New Zealand timber mills last year was an out- standing success. Production was millions of feet more than the most optimistic hopes at the beginning of the year and broke the ' previous year's record by nearly 70,000,000 feet. The total production for the year was 426,000,000 board feet and to this figure must be added peeler log production and the unknown |ed output of several mills. That the policy of the timber workers pays off was shown after the Arbitration Court recently es- tablished fixed wage rates for work- ers in all industries on the basis of whether the work they were doing was skilled, semi-skilled or un- skilled. In fixing an hourly wage rate of about six cents an hour for timber workers above the rate for other industries, Judge Tyndall said: "Be- cause of its importance in our in- dustrial economy, its recent produc- tive achievements and the arduous conditions under which many of its workers are called upon to work and live, the timber industry should be treated as an exceptional case." The employers supported the pro- posal, stating that they were con- vinced that a previous award giving timber workers a higher status had a very beneficial effect on timber production, Street-Car Houses Family in Edmonton Edmonton --- (CP)--Pressed for accommodation for his family of seven after renting his farm, Chris n of suburban Beverly bought a discarded street-car from the city transit system and conver- ted it into a home.

Emerging from the war as a lea- ding industrial and trading nation, the Dominion has a merchant fleet larger than ever before in her peacetime history. . Total Canadian tonnage -- of vessels of more than 500 gross tons --now is about 1,000,000 tons, com- pared with 1,000,000 in"1939. Ocean- going tonnage is 1,113,000, a big jump over the pre-war figure of 227,000. Coastal craft has a total gross ton- nage of 150,000; vessels on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence river total 627,000 gross tons. Wartime experience is a big fac- tor in the efforts to bolster Cana- da's peacetime commercial position. Of the 17,000,000 tons of exports which left the Dominion's ocean ports last year, almost 18 per cent --three times the pre-war amount --was carried in Canadian vessels. Meanwhile, ships of Canadian re- gistry brought more than 6,000,000 tons of imports to Canadian ports --about one-half the total landed from overseas. On top of that, Great Lakes exports carried in Ca- nadian ships exceeded 3,000,000 tons and imports, 13,000,000 tons. An indication of the importance attached to the merchant marine by the government was the esta- blishment last fall of the Canadian Maritime Commission. Its task is to co-ordinate activities of the various government departnfents' dealing with shipping and to advise the government on shipping and ship- building policies. A step expected to loom large in the modernization of the Canadian merchant fleet was the recent an- nouncement that Park vessels, built by the government during the war and sold since to private Canadian owned operators, now may ke of- fered for sale on the open market. The original sales stipulated that Park ships were to be operated on- ly under Canadian registry. By the new order, they now may be sold to non-Canadian concerns on con- dition that proceeds of sales be used for acquisition of modern, Canadian-built vessels. This arrangement will lend a helping hand, too, to the ship- yards, which knew lean years be- fore the war. The Canadian Shipbuilding and Ship Repairing Association said in its recent annual report that Can- adian yards last year built a great- er variety of ocean-going ships than in any previous year. Total tonnage for delivery this year will exceed 200,000 gross tons worth more than $90,000,000. Cigarets, Candy Safest Currency. In Berlin Today By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer Berlin--(CP) -- The philosophy that fundamentally everyone wants the same things -- comfort, secur- ity, prestige and affection --is su ported even in this city of rubble and confusion that was once the heart of Germany. For instance, give candies to a waiter. He'll probably tell you he could sell them for a good price on the black market--but wants them for his children. Give your taxi driver a cigaret that may be worth two or three dollars, according to the state of the panicky market. More often than not, with a grunt of satisfac- tion, he smokes it. I gave a bag of candies to the man on the elevator at Hotel Am Zoo, home of transient newspaper men in Berlin. He said he could sell them for a good price, but later I found he had given them to the receptionist--for her small daugh- ter. "One gift makes another," said the receptionist. "My daughter will share the sweets with her friends. She is always giving." A chambermaid described how she would use 20 cigarettes given her in payment for washing a re- portar's shirts: Four to smoke; six to exchange for three loaves of bread, giving her family two extra slices of bread daily for two weeks; three for a new hair-do; five for a new hat; two for her sister. "I have a gold mine," she laugh- With each new currency crisis the value of the mark has chang- ed. §o the German treats curren- cy as a farce. "What use are marks in your pockdt?" asked a smoke-grimed factory hand who works in the American sector of Berlin, but lives in the British. - "Better to have things you can enjoy and share with your ramily and friends. I never save. It it futile to save." Two actors contribute to the high value of cigarettes and can- dies: 1. They' are bought freely by wealthy racketeers frequenting the more expensive night clubs. 2. German . farmers pay large quantities of fruit and vegetables to secure them. In the stores, dealers would rath- er sell goods for cigarettes and candy than for marks. The day the Allies announced a new currency for Western Germany, dealers re- fused to sell for marks, and thous- ands of Berliners were turned away empty-handed. "Money has gone crazy in Ger- many," said a middle-aged Berlin banker. "Only a sane government can restore it to sanity and there will never be a sane government while our city is administered by four different powers."

We of the present day can read- ily underciand and admire these men and women of ancient times who were willing to risk their per- sonal liberties and even their lives to do what they thought right, or to save their people, or a friend. Even in everyday walks of life we know of rersons who risk their lives for others, or: even to save a cat or a dog from death. In a word where cruelty and brutality are all too prevalent, this is an heartening phenomenon. Jeremiah, the prophet, had been telling the king and people that the Lord was against them be- cause of their many sins, and that Nebuchadnezasar, king of Ba- bylon, would conquer and destroy their holy city. The princess of the land thought that such talk was treason, as Jer- imiah also told them that those who stayed and defied the Babylon- ians would surely perish. but those who surrendered would be spared and taken into exile. The princes of the land thought spirit of the soldiers to resist the aggressor was being lowered--which was probably true--and they peti- tioned the king to have Jeremiah killed. King Zedekiah turned the: pro- phet over to them. They tied his arms with ropes and let him down into a deep and muddy well, where they thought he would shortly die of starvation and hardship. When Ebted-melech, the eunuch, heard this, he, without considering what might happen to him, went to the king and pleaded with him to save Jeremia's life. The king was evidently touched by his arguments that the princes had done an evil thing so to treat the prophet of God. The king told Ebed-melech to make a rope of rags and let it down to the prophet by cords, which he could fasten to his arms. Ebed-melech took 30 men ---- with him and with the rags and cords they pulled Jeremiah out. Thereafter he vas a prisoner, but in the court of the prison. King Zedekiah went secretly to Jeremiah and asked him to tell him truly what was going to happen to his kingdom. Jeremiah repeat- ed his prophecy as before, telling the king that the only. hope was in surrendering to Babylon. Before he would repeat his pro- phecy, however, he made the king promise that he would not be put to death nor given up to his en- emies because of what he felt he must say. The king promised. Zedekiah said he was afraid of the Jews who were prisoners of the Babylonians, that they might kill him. Jeremiah replied they would not do so, and begged the king to "obey the voice of the Lord," but Zedekiah did not. He made Jeremiah promise him that if the princes questioned him about this 'talk he would tell them no- thing, and Jeremiah kept his pro- mise. "In the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it." Although the people of Judah resisted, they were overcome and many slaughtered. The king was taken prisoner, his children killed before his eyes and he was blind- ed, and taken to Babylon. Jeru- salem was burned and the walls pulled down. Nebuchadaezzar, how- ever, had Jeremiah well treated. The Lord told Jeremiah to go and speak to Ebed-melech and tell him not to be afraid. He would be delivered from the Ba- bylonians and his life would be sp~red, "because thou hast put thy trust in Me, saith the Lord." King Zedekiah, with all his wealth and power behind him, did not dare oppose his own princes to defend a prophet, even though he probably felt Jeremiah was right in his prophesies and warnings. However, the humble servant in the king's household put his trust in what he knew to be right and God's will, risking his life by so doing, to become a hero for all time. Birthrights or A Mess of Potage By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE It is a little saddening and sober- ing to realize that the country of the Lion-Heart, of Drake and Marl- borough and Churchill, has finally settled for a "Cradle-to-the-grave" security that, at best, is 'a very bare security indeed. Four empowering acts giving sub- stance to the Beveridge plan of 1942 have just been passed by the British parliamént. They provide insur- ance protection in cases of indus- trial accidents, health insurance and assistance in various other emergencies. It isn't all gravy, though it covers rich and poor alike for to neither is the return very adequate. Yet it is estimated that the cost in "1948-49 will Tun close to three and a half billion dollars. Half of this will be paid from the taxes, that the participants must first provide and the remainder will be deducted from wages, or pro- vided by imposts on industry that must further complicate price struc- tures. Under the National Insurance Act, as an example of this legisla- tion the average British worker, earning say $20 weekly, must pay 98 cents weekly toward this pro- tection. His employer must add 84 cents and the Government will ap- portion from taxes half as much. If the worker falls ill, or loses his job, or is retired at 65, he is entitled to receive $5.20 weekly with certain ad- ditional benefits for his family-- material benefits and baby bonus, If he dies, his funeral expenses are paid and his family is assured a weekly allowance adjusted to the amount of money paid in by the worker, If fully disabled in an in- dustrial accident he is entitled to $9 weekly and lesser amounts for lesser injuries. He cannot pyramid his benefits, He cannot accept un- employment benefits and injury benefits at the same time. Then, of course, he is given full and free medical service by the State. The National Assistance Act rounds out the picture by pro- viding against certain emergencies not applicable to other acts, such as payment for the flood damage of last spring. It is difficult to estimate how widespread the henefits may be, but this much is certain. The cost to the nation as a whole works out to about $73 for each man, woman and child or roughly $365 per family per year. Add to this the worker's own payments, and the possible in- creased costs and the charge be- comes substantial, One is led to wonder whether the old adventurous spirit, using its own money and abilities in its own ways, would not have done more for the people than the security of $5.20 a week; whether indeed security can be anything in the end but the selling of a birthright for a mess of pottage.
