TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE PAGE NIN Progressive Conser ®Diefen baker, Drew Leading Figures For Bracken Post By D'ARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Sept. 21--(CP)--The decision of Premier Drew 'to contest the Progressive Conservative leadership in the federal field may narrow down the list of leadership candi- dates at the party's forthcoming national convention, a par- ty official said today. He said the field might be narrowed down to three or four candidates by the time nominations close at the con- vention Sept. 30, Oct. 1-2. Headline for nominations has been set at 6 p.m. Oct. 1. Voting will take place the following day. Besides Mr. Drew, three other men® have announced their intention of contesting the leadership which John Bracken, 65, is giving up be- cause of his age and ill-health. John Diefenbaker. 52-year -old Member of the Commons for Lake Centre in Saskatchewan, announc- ed his candidature Sept. 17. Earlier, J. W. Hanna, 59, member of the Ontario Legislature for Hu- ron Bruce, and Garfield Case, 49, Member of the Commons for the Ontario constituency of Grey North, announced that they would be can- didates. However, signs of the nar- rowing down already were apparent Monday night when Mr. Hanna announced his withdrawal. He said Mr. Drew "is beyond all question the man. for the job. Now that Premier Drew, my leader, is definitely in the race, I feel it is only proper that I should withdraw and throw my support behind him." The official said there was a pos- ¢ sibility that Mr. Case also will with- draw his name before the conven- tion opens and throw his support ehind Mr. Drew or Mr. Diefen- ker. In any event, he said, it was nlikely that Mr. Case would prove ! to be a strong contender. There is a possibility, said the official, that Donald Fleming 43, { Member of the Commons for Tor- : onto Eglinton, and E. D. Sulton, 32, { member for the British Columbia * riding of Kamloops, may decide to enter the contest. Others might be nominated, but | it was unlikely that they would al- low their names to stand before the convention. In this class the official put Murdoch Macpherson, promi- nent Saskatchewan lawyer and twice before a leadership candidate, ! J. M. Macdonnell, member of the ! Commons for Muskoka-Ontario ! and President of the Progressive Conservative Association, John T. Hackett, Member of the Commons for Stanstead in Quebec, Ivan Sa- { bourin, party leader in Quebec, - 'Howard Greer, Member of the Commons for Vancouver South, A. L. Smith, Member of the Commons for Calgary West and Gordon Gray- don, Member of the Commons for in Ontario. Bn Mr. Drew be elected to the federal leadership, the official said, it. is possible that Mr. Graydon will be a candidate at a convention call- ed to choose a successor for Mr. Drew in the provincial field. Old. (Country | By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer . . That thoroughly English in- stitution, a "nice cup of tea," is in danger. : It isn't that the tea is rationed and hard to get, or that thin milk has replaced real cream. A shortage of saucers is the real calamity. You can drink tea without sau- cers, all right, but it isn't the same. the London Evening Standard mented jn an editorial, the "full savor of the rite, its refreshing quality, is weakened if the cosy rat. tle of the cup and saucer is remov- ed" Some lucky people manager to get export rejects, but the majority struggle along with the cracked, chipped relics of a pre-war set. The saucer scarcity stems from a shortage of colored pottery, long re- stricted to export markets. But there is another reason why saucers are less abundant than, *say, cups or glasses, ' They have ne "snob appeal." The pottery workers regard saucer-mak- ing as beneath their dignity. Any- way, they'd rather make cups. Nige] Blanchin, 39-year-old scientist and author of "Mine Own Executioner," _ brought the subject up at a meeting in Brighton. "We can't buy saucers," he said, "because saucer-makers are consid- ered the lowest form of life in pot- teries." ~Saucerless or not, it is hardly likely anyone will go back to the .primitive method of consumption reported used by Bohidharma, the Indian ascetic credited with intro- ducing tea to China in A. D. 543. Pledged to contemplate Buddha's virtues through nine sleepless years, Bodhidharma sliced off his eyelids in anger when he fell asleep after three years, Drowsy again after eight years, he plucked some leaves from a nearby bush to revive him- self and thus--so the story goes-- tea was born, And the poor, saucerless, tea-sip- Englishman has one consola- g n today. Jam, real strawberry , is back in shops. Around the |eq sizzling fire and the pissig urn at teatime, families no longer need do with marmalade to accompany the "steaming beverages: ' SEVERAL DIALECTS Chinese is spoken in several dia- lects, the most important of which are Manderin, Cantonese, Amoy and Foochow. d ~ OSHAWA CHADBURN SQUADRON By SGT.

I guess we w fill in some general 'comments for our first column of ason, but be prepared for a landslide next week, for there ust be acres of news we have missed. Dave Noakes is stationed at Clin- ton now, but still manages to be home almost every week-end. Any- one who would like to see Dave when he is home would do well to look for him in the Kingéway Milk Bar. The food there must be excel- lerit, or perhaps the little blonde waitress has something to do with his" patronage. We ran into a former cadet of another squadron by the, name of Jake Smalley. Most of the boys who were at Camp Borden in "45 will remember Jake; he was the lad with the magic fingers who rocked the rec. hall with piano or organ. Dave Noakes, Laurie French, Al Shortt and yours truly, will remem- ber him in particular for those four spent a lot of time together. Judg- ing from the ring his girl friend was wearing Jake may be thinking of entering the state of matrimony. Matrimony might the solution to the problems of the world today; for in that state one party is boss and the other party knows it; ab- solutely no room for argument.

Rundle and Miss Mary Murdoch, Public Health Nurse, begin the im- munization of the pupils in the Township schools. This year this service is being ex- tended to infants of pre-school age as well as those children attending school. We trust that the parents of the children wil] take advantage of the service and co-operate with Miss Murdoch and Dr. Rundle in carry- ing through this very fine work. The East Whitby Board of Health extends its very sincere thanks to the Welfare Council for their co-op- eration in advertising this work and also for supplying the equipment for. the immunization clinics and pro- posed baby clinics which has amounted to over $500.

Mr. Gavagan and his as- sistant were introduced to the club by Rotarian R, B. Reddoch, The thanks of the club was voiced by President John G. Geikie. It was explained that the demon- stration provided for the entertain. ment of \the club was part of the regular shew but only a cross sec- tion due to\time limitations.

Comprising seven parts only one of which is moveable, the engine at- tracted much attention after the luncheon, r Other demgnstrations were of a replica of the first phonograph de- veloped by Thomas Edison on which speech was recorded an tinfoil and later playéd back; the transmission of music on a beam of light and frying an egg with "cold" heat. Interpreting The > N ews By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst Some time ago this column point- ed out that the Communists ap- peared to be shifting the weight of their offensive for world revolution to Southeast Asia, and expressed the view that this important the- atre might become the Armaged- don of the fight by democracy against the red ism. Since then, conditions in the Orient have worsened until the western democracies are much con- cerned. Apart from other consid- erations, this vast area, including Burma, Malaya, Indonesia and Indo-China, is rich in rice, oil, tin, rubber, sugar and other necessities of both peace and war. Thé Democracies need some of these supplies for military security. Moreover the rehabilitation of both the Orient and Europe call for all these products. And of course un- told millions of folk in the Far East are dependent on them, es- pecially the rice which is their "staff of life." ~ So_this intensified red offensive is calculated not only to deprive the democracies of military supplies, but to block rehabilitation. This situation has impelled For- eign. Secretary Bevin to charge in parliament that the Communists are following a plan aimed at the seizure of Southeast Asia. He told a tense House of Commons that the scheme for stirring up civil war is an instrurnent of foreign policy, and that if it continues "no one can see the end to which it may lead the nations who are promoting it." He indicated Britain will do her best to oppose it "wherever it rears its ugly head." Simultaneously the United States State Department sharply counter- attacks in a statement against the Communist "drive for power" in Southeast Asia. The department made known that it was consider- Ing a "course of action," though it didn't disclose the type of action contemplated. The /| Communists have seized Madioen, in the.central part of the Indonesian Island of Java. This is the third largest city of the young republic and is a serious loss. The reds accuse the Republican Govern- ment of "selling the country to the imperialists," and of trying to de- liver Indonesia into the hands of the Netherlands. Word also comes from an inform- ed source in Jogjakarta, capital of the Indonesian Republic, that a document found in Communist party files discloses that a Commu- nist coup was to be staged in Java after & rebellion was under way in Malaya. The 'document is quoted as saying the Java, uprising was to form an integral part of the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia. Well, the Malayan uprising has been under way for some time, so this may be the appointed hour for the big red effort in Java.

KENNETH FLETCHER Correspondent Harmony, Sept. 20--Are you 'in- terested in the Community Chest Campaign, and the benefits which come to us as a result of it? For instance, do you realize that the money you and I subscribe helps boys and girls and adults everywhere, and that all of us are in some way dependent on one or more of these services? Take the Boy Scouts and Girl Guide associ- ations, for instance; without such an influence for good in their lives, many boys and girls would never become leaders, would be indiffer- ent citizens, would never do a kind deed each day, or-wonder why they should. * - Then look at what the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. have to offer to youth. Think of the happy hours spent in a Christian environment, learning: arts and crafts, - hobbies and many, many other worthwhile occupations. And what would a world be with- out a Red Cross organization, al- medicines, medical aid, and so on when tragedy strikes? No one has to be told what the Salvation Army stands for, and so it goes, down the line, and not one of us but af one time or another, during our lives has felt the influence for good emanating from one or all. Pretty soon you'll be asked for your donation, to help carry on this good work. Won't you feel happy that you had a hand in it? Have you heard of the immuni- zation clinics which are starting this week throughout the township? Mothers can bring their babies from six months of age and up to the various clinics, and have them im- munized, free of charge, against whooping cough, small-pox and diphtheria. It is the hope of the East Whitby Welfare Council that all pre-school and school age chil- dren attend these clinics and thus do # lot towards stamping out dis- ease and sickness. Full information about these clin- ics can be obtained from A. Korry, phone 360-R, also pamphlets and application forms. The first of these clinics will be held in Harmony Public School on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 9:00 am. Let's all do our part to support the good work being carried on in our community. This week will be a very busy one indeed, for a number of activities have been planned. First of all as we have just mentioned is the Im- munization Clinic on Wednesday morning. Then in the afternoon at the school will be held the first quilting bee of-the season, and it is hoped that many quilters will. be out bright and early after lunch. On Friday evening,-also at. thé school, the Willing Workers .are sponsoring a play, "Hot Water Hero," put on by. the Ebg¢nezer Young People. We haven't seen. the play, but if it's up to Ebenezer's usual standard, we'll have an en- joyable evening. In conjunction with the play, the Willing Workers are also staging. a honie-made candy sale, and several dozen Christmas cards will also be avail- able to the members or anyone else wishing to purchase them. The Willing Workers "Life in Canada" quilt which was shown at the C.N.E, will also be on display, thus providing an opportunity to those who haven't already seen it, to do so. Incidentally, this quilt is for sale. : , Your support is asked in 'this, the first event of the season put on:by September 22 -- at Harmony Westmount September 29 -- at Thornton's October 13 -- at Free IMMUNIZATION CLINICS begin for East Whitby on the following dates: North Oshawa Base Line West Base Line East ........... foees Maxwell's School Pereman's School ...... veeesnn. 11:00 AM.

By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 21--(CP)--When Commonwealth Prime = Ministers gather around a London conference table Oct. 11 they will help to de- cide the course of European unity. These statesmen, .united by the bond of loyalty to the King, have responsibilities beyond the com- monwealth for this reason: In this United Kingdom and Eu- rope, strong forces work Tor the creation of a European Assembly, where co-operating countries could decide policies for their common good. But the British Labor Gov- ernment declines support at the moment. © Prime Minister Attlee says he must await consultations with Dominions' Prime Ministers. 'The proposed European Assembly is 'a step beyond the existing West- ern Union Association, of Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Even on that first stage of Euro- pean co-operation the Dominions will have questions to ask. The Australians in particular, concerned over what their spokesmen call British preoccupation in Europe, want to know how Western Euro- pean co-operation will affect their markets in the United Kingdom, its influence on defence policies of Britain in the Pacific, whether it can be fitted into the. trading sys- tem within the commonwealth with- out loss of existing advantages, and what obligations are being assumed. But the Labor Government can- not: let the question of a European Assembly lie on the sidelines. Win- ston Churchill, still looked on as the strongest single voice in Brit- ish public life, stands sponsor for'a resolution, adopted by an unofficial congress of Europe at The Hague in June, asking the =2-se bly be created. An' international committee on European unity in July, proposed membership in the assembly should be limited initially to nations par- ticipating in the European Recov- ery Program, that it should meet not later than the beginning of 1049 and that the parliament of each nation should be asked to pass on & resolution asking the assembly be: convened, Want UK. to Lead Labor leaders know from experi- ence that a substantial group of their own back-benchers want Britain to take more aggressive leadership in European unity. Six Prime Ministers are expected from the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, India, Pakistan and Ceylon, The Australian Prime Minister, 63-year-old J. B. Chifley, visited London in July for 'consultations with the British Government. In October he will be represented by his deputy, outspoken Dr. H. V. Evatt, External Affairs Minister. Dr. Daniel Malan, 74, South Afri- can Prime Minister, has said Ife will be unable to attend, although he would be willing to visit Lon- don later if there were subjects he should discuss with the British Government. A Cabinet minister will represent him. He had no ob- jection to attending the Prime Ministers' conference but his gov- ernment's majority is small and home duties make it difficult to leave. Representatives of Southern Rho- desia, with a unique status as a "self-governing colony" which con- ducts its business with Britain through the Commonwealth Rela- tions Office, are also expected. If present plans carry through the following will review the changing structure of the commonwealth and face up to its problems: United Kingdom--Clement Att- lee, 65, son of a Conservative Eng- lish family, a former social worker in slum districts, an Army Major, long Labor Leader in the Commons, Winston Churchill's wartime dep- uty in Parliament and, since 1945, Prime Minister. and leader of-the first Labor . Government with a sufficient majority to carry through a far-reaching Socialist program. 'Elder Statesman' Canada--William Lyon Macken- zie King, 73, who will be the "elder statesman" of the conference. His grandfather, William Lyon Mac- kenzie, was counted "rebel" when he fought for constitutional chang- es in Canada, but during a record period of service as a Common- wealth Prime Minister, Mackenzie King has helped to form and main- 'ain commonwealth association. .New Zealand--Peter Fraser, 64, NOT The Oshawa Will Hold a GENERAL _ for Election of Officers R..W/WALLACE, Secretary. : 'FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 at 8 p.m, at the I.O.

He retains traces of a soft Scottish accent, but his actions 'are crisp, decisive and consistently in favor of continued close asociation of commonwealth countries, a key- note of New Zealand policy. India--Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, 58, Prime Minister, son of a pros- perous lawyer, who was educated at exclusive Harrow School *in Eng- land, went to Cambridge Univers- ity and adopted western dress and mannerisms, He became engrossed in Indian self-government aspira- tions and was Gandhi's right hand man. .He went.to prison for his part in Indian demonstrations against British rule, but accepted Dominion status a year ago and recently ordered "God: Save the King" to precede any Indian nae tional anthem at formal and mili- tary occasions. 1 Pakistan--Liaquat Ali Kahn, 53, Prime Minister, who comes to Lon- don after a flight through remote Indian mountain districts trying to bring peace among ever-restless tribal force. As, spokesman for his country he often protests against Indian "aggression" in border fights, but in the interim Indian government which preceded Do- minion status, he worked co-oper- atively with Nehru and other Hine du ministers. Tall, blonde, bespec= tacled, he was a prosperous lande owner in old India. Like Nehru, he was educated in England. CEYLON--Don Stephen Senana- yake, mow in. his 60's but still known to his people as "wild jungle boy" because of youthful prowess as a wrestler. A devout Buddhist, he was educated in a C 1 of England school. Long a protagonist of self-government, he was imprisoned briefly-in the first world war when disorders broke out, but remembers with apprecia« tion that British officials soon ad mitted their mistake and let him go. Hold Suspect In Robbery Of $190,000 Toronto, Sept. 21 (CP) -- Pro- vincial Police said Monday that Leo Burnell, alias Bruce Sloan of To- ronto, sought for 14 months on a warrant charging him with the $190,000 robbery of the Milton, Ont.; branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia. has been arrested in Vancouver, B.C. / Police began their search for Burnell following the arrest of John Krywiachuk, of Hamilton, Ont who was later sentenced to 20 years in Kingston penitentiary for the hold-up. Inspector Alex McLeod, of the Criminal Investigation Branch, and Constable Al Lemon, of Milton, left by plane to bring back Burnell. Police said the trial will be held at Milton. The hold-up netted about $90,000 in bonds and $100,000 in cash. Pol- ice say only some of the bonds have turned up since the robbery and they believe a large quantity were cashed on a bond black market in Montreal. About $6,000 in cash was recovered July 12, 1947. ut ¥ t e. ov ne ot dé id ) fost il 3 V. McLELLAN'S HOME and AUTO SUPPLY, Prince and Bond Sts. PHONE 1096
