"This is indicated with the dis- &-------- closure Monday that Fred Dowling, Canadian Director of the United Packinghouse Workers of America (CI.O.-CCL., a well-known CCF. supporter and a consistent anti- Communist, was refused permission to trave] to the United States," the story says. The Globe and Mail says Dowling would not comment on the report. The newspaper adds: 'Although the U. S. immigration screening ac- tivities are aimed at barring Com- munists in the trade union move- ment from crossing the border. Sev- eral non-Communists have recently been prevented from entering U, S. Seven trade unionists were re- fused permission to enter the United States at Chicago Saturday, it was learned Monday, Three others were denied entry when they applied to the U.S. immi- gration office here Monday. The group of seven, all from Sud- bury and members of the Interna- tional Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (C.I.O.), were on their way to a union meeting in San Francisco. Nelson Thibault, president of the Sudbury Local of the Smelters' Un- ion, said Chicago officials gave no ieason for the order to "take the next plane back." Others in the group were Michael Swiddle, Char- les Tonsaker, Arthur Michel, J. L. Charlebois, Mrs, Elizabeth Gunter and Mrs. Frances Cuddy. The othér three are from Kit- chener-and are members of the Un- ited Rubber, Cork, Linoleum and Plastic Workers of America (C.1.0.). Several other members of the same union were granted permits to enter the U.S. fer a union conference at Omaha, Neb. Thibault said: "We made routine arrangements as we have been do- ing every year since 1945 to cross tke border. When we landed at Chi- cago after taking off from Malton, (Ont) Airport Saturday, we were met by at least four uniformed po- lice, "They did not ask us whether we were Communists or affiliated with Communists or anything of the sort: 'When they finished questioning us, 3.. were ushered into a room and doors were locked until the time of cur departure." At Ottawa, an External Affairs spokesman, while aware that the United States were barring suspect- ed Communists frcm entry, did not believe this move was applicable to trade unionists generally. ; The spokesman expressed surprise that a known anti-Communist should be refused admittance to the United States and added "There may be other facts involved."

Dr. Mackay stated that examina- tions in most cases are done early and patients are supplied with mimeographed sheets of instruc- tions. It was the feeling of one member of the advisory board, he said, that pre-natal classes of 'in- struction would not materially re- duce infant mortality. A report on diet.was considered and it was felt that something along this line might be advantageous. Dr. Mac- kay commented that his depart- ment would do all in its, power to help the V.O.N. in this connection. Mrs. B.

Of Logs First of Its Kind Scarboro Township In Over 75 Years (From Scarboro Mail) The first log house to be built in the Township of Scar- boro for more than 75 years is being erected by former Flying Officer J. W. Richardson formerly of Oshawa, on the. 2nd Concession (Ellesmere Rd.) in Highland Creek. The Scarboro Mail visited the lo-®---- cation and was cordially welcomed by Mr. Richardson and his wife. "Our desire for a log house," Mr. Richardson stated, "was the result of several hunting trips in Northern Ontario." As log houses or cabins are more plentiful in that part of Ontario, Mr. Richardson had plenty of opportunity to find out whether he would like one for a permanent home, After serving five years in the R.C.AF. this young veteran decided he wanted a log house for his wife and family. Mrs. Richardson shared his fondness for this type of dwell- ing and they started to plan their new home. Thought Type Prohibited Mr. Richardson told the Scarboro Mail that they experienced diffi- culty in getting a permit as it was believed that log houses were pro- hibited in the Township. However, after a thorough search of the Township Records no by-law was found - prohibiting this type of dwelling. The house is 25 feet by 40 feet and built on a cement block foun- dation. It contains three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom. The outer walls are constructed entirely of cedar logs. The building of this home is a story of ingenuity on the part of this veteran who wanted a beauti- ful home and had the courage to work hard to fulfill his dream. Two years ago he felled enough cedar trees just north of White-\ vale in Pickering Township to pro- vide the logs for his home. Then came the difficulty of obtaining a building permit which held up con- struction for a considerable length of time. But this young veteran, who had flown aircraft in the 45th Atlantic Command during the war, was not going to be daunted in his desire to provide the home of his dreams for his wife and little family. Final- ly the logs were delivered to the location of his property which Mr. Richardson had partly cleared and the work of building the house be- gan while the family lived in tem- porary quarters in a deuble garage. Felled 134 Trees Mr. Richardson had felled 134 trees and all the logs had to be trimmed and peeled before the ac- tual work of erecting the house began. After this operation was completed and the foundation laid, the logs were put in place. To weather-proof the building the logs are caulked with oakum and chink- ed with cement and lime mortar, The Richardsons will have a warm house because, using the logs, they havea wall which is ten inches of solid wood. It is strapped on the inside and lined with gyproc for fireproofing, making a finished wall of approximately 12 inches thick. The longest log in the house is 36 feet and the shortest three feet. The logs have been stained a beautiful rich brown which harmon- izes with the trees and foliage on the grounds. A red brick fireplace is nearing completion in the spa- cious living room and the walls are covered with wall-paper which looks like red cedar boards. Mr. Richardson plans to panel this room. The roof is covered with as- phalt shingles. The whole idea of the home will be carried out in pioneer style with the exception of the modern kitchen. When the work of constructing the house is completed Mrs. Rich- ardson plans to carry out the pio- neer idea by having furniture cove DREAM HOME (Continued on Page 2) ¥ Today we Live in a Greater Canada = & TopAy CANADA'S manufacturing EE capacity has been increased --and diversified -- to an extent never thought possible in pre-war years. Now Canada can do more -- can make more -- offers far more opportunities to young Canadians commencing their careers today. While established industries have been expanding, new ones have been springing up. Over 200 new products formerly imported are now being made here. EMPLOYMENT figures, too, tell the story of our emergence as one of the world's great industrial nations; today almost twice as many Canadians are engaged in manufacturing as there were be- tore the war. { CAPACITY for steel production doubled; chemical output more than twice 1939 level; pulp and paper mills operating at 509, above pre-war: everywhere the magnitude of the advance is- evident. ",..UNTOLD OPPORTUNITIES" "If one wants to give service and work, Canada is full of untold opportunities -- greater than ever. It is well, too, for young Canadians not to %verlook small towns and rural parts, because in these places the door is ajar, life can be gloriously free and very full." ...says ROY SHIELDS of Coboconk, Ontario: He and his brother Charles have, by industry and initia- tive, supported by loyal, hard-working employees, attained a remarkable success as General Merchants in their rural community. Their store has been referred 'to as the "Biggest Little Department Store" in the country. DEVELOPMENT continues: on new plant and new equipment nearly tour times as much was spent by Canadian industry last year as in 1939. : ONE OF A SERIES PRESENTED BY Wobtsons T0 PROMOTE A FULLER CANADIANS OF CANADA'S PRESENT GREATNESS ~ REALIZATION BY
