I Bishops Will Make Report On Conference A chance to hear first hand and correct details of the Lambeth Con- ference and an opportunity to wel- come home the Canadian Bishops who have only recently returned from the conference, will be given the people of Toronto and district on Thursday evening, September 16. Under thé direction of the Mission- ary Society of the Church of Eng- land in the Diocese of Toronto, the affair will be held in Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto. The story of the Lambeth Con- ference wil dealt with briefly by the Rt. Rev. A. R. Beverley, DD, Bishop of Toronto; Rt. Rev. R. J. Renison, D.D., Bishop of Moosenee; Rt. Rev. J. S. Moyes, D.D., Bishop of Armida's (Australia), and the Rt. Rev. M. H. Yashiro, D.D., Bishop of Tokyo and Presiding Bishop of Nippon Seikokwali, Mayor H. E.

The department's weekly crop re- port indicates milk production has fallen off 50 per cent in some areas and farmers .are already feeding cattle winter grain. Fruit and root crops were withering from lack of moisture. Meteorological officials said they believed the monthly rain . fall would be far below the normal 2.79 inches. Scattered showers were forecast for Southern Ontario but elsewhere there was no rain in prospect for 48 hours. September, usually a month of considerable rainfall has received only one tenth of an inch to date, officials of the Meteorological Bur- eau said last night. Making this a sadder picture from the standpoint of crops, the temperature this month has been 10 degrees higher than the average. The present drought -- and wea- ther forecasters don't promise any rain at least within the next 48 hours--has been building up since the middle of August. During the first two weeks of that month there were several showers, which totalled .93 inches. Then things went dry and the rainfall for the entire month totalled 191 inches, .03 below average. To compete with the average, September should enjoy 2.79 inches but forecasters feel this will be un- likely this year.

JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer Margate, England, Sept. 4--(CP) --Omne of the top leaders of organ- ized labor in Britain Wednesday warned the trades union congress that forces' of Communism are at work in world trade unions and have penetrated even the British trade union movement. Arthur Deakin, member of the T.U.C. general council and leader of the Transport and General Work- ers' Union, said the world federa- tion of trade unions is "rapidly be- coming nothing more than a plat- form for furthering Soviet policy." He also charged Communist inspi- ration of a resolution calling on the T.U.C. to remove barriers to solidar- ity within the W.F.T.U. the resolu- tion was sponsored by the Bakers and Tobacco Workers Union. T.U.C. efforts within the world federation had repeatedly been ob- structed, he said. The T.U.C. tried to get the resqlution withdrawn, but the "people we have been discussing this resolution with are in the main members of the Communist party and are not free to depart from the party line." His statement was loudly cheered and the resolution was defeated by an overwhelming show of hands, A. E. G. Bowden, of the Bakers Union, denied, however, that it was Col munist-inspired or that Commun- ist forces were at work in tis organ- "ization. The T.U.C. earlier had told the government in effect to watch its step in nationalization of the iron and steel industry. It rejected a re- solution introduced by J. Gardiner of the Amalgamated Union of Foun- dry Workers who admitted: "I am a member of the Communist party." The resolution called for immedi- ate government steps to add iron snd steel to the nationalized induse ries. Instead the Congress accepted by an overwhelming vote on amend- ment sponsored by the iron and steel trades federation recognizing the * need for "care exercised by the gov- ernment" in determining the future or ifon and steel and rejecting any request for emergency action, * London--(CP)-- Dogs killed and injured in Britain last year in road accidents numbered 100,000. 12 tablets . 24 tablets . .. . 100 tablets . . , 79¢ LOWEST PRICES WILSON FURNITURE COMPANY Are "FAMOUS "3-PIECE KROEHLER" CHESTERFIELD Here is a really lovely, modern suite.
