Hl hy £2 pr 340 \ & MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Voters Go To Polls In Two Federal By-Elections Today CCF, Social Credit Oppose Pearson In Algoma East Ottawa, Oct. 2 5 (CP)--This politically-conscious capital awaited with keen interest today the outcome of two federal by-elections being decided in Ontario and. Saskatchewan. 4 The contests are in Algoma East, D P Quarters In Manitoba 'Improved' Ottawa, Oct. 25--(CP) The living conditions -of displaced per- sons at Emerson, Man. -- described by Federal investigators as "very unsatisfactory" -- have been 'ma- * terially improved," Labor Minister Mitchell said Saturday. The same improvement has ben made in three other D.P. camps in Manitoba, he said in an 800-word statement. Mr. Mitchell also releas- ed the reports of five men who in- spected the camps following disclos. ures by a Winnipeg newspaper. 'The newspaper said displaced per- 'sons at Emerson were living in "squalor, filth and misery" under conditions they felt were in many cases worse than in camps in Ger- many. One of the investigators is Fred J. White of Winnipeg, kegional Su- perintendent of Unemployment In- surance. Accomodation at Emerson, he reported, was "what could be termed 'a bare minimum.'" In Winnipeg, Agriculture Minister Campbell of Manitoba said he would not associate himself with the Federal investigators report. He maintained that investigation by Provincial authorities showed con- ditions at Emerson were "much above the minimum standard." Mr. White's report said in pari: "It appeared to me that there was over-crowding in the dormitcrie: . one very serious omission at his camp (Emerson) was the lack of hot water for washing . . . the sanitation facilities were inadequate. There is no staff responsible for the care of the privies or dormitor- ies. Each person is expected to look after his own with the result that the condition is demoralizing . .. " Mr. Mitchell said he believes the "main- difficulties" are due to in- sufficient camp help and "some carelessness on the part of the men themselves." But "the worst feature of the whole affair" was a letter sent te the Emerson D.P.S. "implying that men who failed to carry out instrus. tions might be sent back to Germ- any." This letter, which Federal and Manitoba officials disclaim, was signed by an official of the Mani- toba Farm Help Service. 'Not only was the letter unwar- ranted," said Mr. Mitchell, "but it was contrary to the well-publicized instructions of the Labor Depart- ment that threats of such a nature were not to be even hinted at." Senator G. White Dies In Hospital Pembroke, Oct. 25--(CP)--Sena- tor Gerald Verner White, active in Canadian politics for 42 years, died in hospital Sunday night after a brief illness. He was 69. He was a Conservative and a son of 4 former Speaker of the House of Commons, the late Hon. Peter 'White. He was elected to the Com- mons in 1906 for the constituency of Renfrew North, which his father represented until his death that year, Senator White was re-elected in 1908 and 1911. He did not seek re- election in 1917 and was appointed to the Senate in 1919, shortly after 'his return from overseas service with the Army. His death creates the 14th Senate vacancy. The Liberal strength in the 96-seat Senate is 63, Conserva. tives hold 19 seats. Senator White, a native of Pem- broke, was a director of the Steecl Equipment Company 'of Canada, Pembroke. He went overseas in 1915 as a major, second-in-command of the 223rd Forestry Battalion, and be- came director of timber operations for the Forestry Corps, with the rank of Colonel. He was created a commander of the Order of the Order of 'the British Empire in 1918 in recognition of his war services. Senator White was a member of the Rideau Club of Ottawa, the University Club of Montreal and Delta Upsilon Fratérnity. He was a Presbyterian, Surviving are his widow, the for- mer Mary Elizabeth Trites of Pet- itcodiac, N.B,, and a daughter, Mrs. W. L. Wigginson of Pembroke. P ASPIRIN | RELIEVES "oe PAINS vCgibS SORE THROAT \ in Northern Ontario, anl Rosthern, in central Saskatchewan. In both constituencies, the polls opened at 8 a.m. today and will close at 6 p.m. local time. In Algoma East, External Affairs Minister Pearson is seeking a scat in the Commons. He is opposed by John Fitzgerald of Blind River, So- cial Credit candidate, and Lorne Callahan of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, CCF. In Rosthern, the contest is be. tween W. A. Boucher of Hoey, Sask. Liberal; P. G. Makaroff of Saska- toon, CCF. and George W. Beil- harts of Rothern, Social Credit. The Progressive Conservative party did not nominate candidates for the by-elections. Both seats formerly were held by Liberals and the result of the vot- ing will be of major importance to the Liberal government. At present, it holds a four-vote majority in the 245-member House of Commons and defeat in today's contests would further reduce the slim margin. The present Commons standing: Liberals, 123; Progressive Conser- vatives, 66; C.C.F., 32; Social Cred. it, 13; 'others, eight; vacant, three; total 245. Algoma East and Ros- thern account for two of the vacan- cles; the third is in the Quebec constituency of Ldval-Two Moun- tains, Algoma East missed voting Lib- eral only once since 1926. That was in 1930, when a Progressive Conse. - vative was elected. Rosthern has voted for Liberal candidates in ev- ery election since its establishment in 1933. The last member for Algoma East was Thomas Farquhar, appointed to the Senate recently to open a seat for Mr. Pearson. In the 1945 general election, Mr. Farquhar drew 4,855 votes to 3,610 for A. Moniece Austin, Progressive Conservative, and 1,468 for William L. Strain, C. CF. Walter A. Tucker sat last for Rosthern but resigned this year to take over the provincial Liberal leadership in Saskatchewan. In the 1945 election, he polled 6,898 votes to 4,678 for C. A. Mycroft, CCF; 1,209 for J. M.. Currie, Progressive Conservative, and 1792 for L. P. Kurtenbach, Social Credit. FREIGHTER SAFE Norfolk, Va.

To Open Community Concert Series First of the four concerts arranged by the Community Concert Association will take place at the ' Regent Theatre, Oct. 31 when a little symphony orchestra under the' direction of Daniel Saidenburg will present a aad balanced program of 1 and porary music. Three soloists appear with the orchestra,~Edward Erwin, trombone; De Vere Moor, oboe, and Paul Schaller, clarinet. Saidenberg Sinfonietta To Open Concert Series The Saidenberg Sinfonietta, con- sisting of 20 outstanding orches- tral players and conducted by Dan- iel Saidenberg, eminent young American conductor, will open the series of Community Concerts here, October 31. All the great music of the estab- lished masters such as Bach, Han- del, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert Tschaikovsky, as well as the com- positions of more contemporary musicians is included in the reper- tory of this unique ensemble which is én fact a complete small orches- tra. The refreshing variety of the programs makes for an unequaled musical experience. The program opens with "The Marriage of Figaro" and is followed by "Iphigenia in Aulis" by Von Gluck. Tue biggest work of the evening will be the Symphony No.5 in B flat major by Franz Schubert. Following intermission the ' or- chestra will play "A Siegfried Idyll" written by Richard Wagner for his wife, Cosima, and will in- troduce modern compositions by Alec Templeton, Zez Confrey, Ar- thur Benjamin and Morton Gould. The program 'ends. with the per- petual favorite "Voices of Spring" by Johann Strauss. Organized in Chicago in 1935 while Mr, Saidenberg was first cel- list of the Chicago Symphony, the Chicago Sinfonietta met with in- stant success. Claudia Cassidy, one of Chicago's most exacting critics, writing in the Chicago Tribune, stated that "Daniel Saidenberg knows how to pick programs as well as conduct them . .. I have not discovered an ounce of humbug in a Little Symphony concert and I treasure its professional approach, its simplicity, its glowing and com- prehensive style." This review was a prophetic forerunner of the ac- claim to follow. At first the group confined 'its activities to Chicago proper, but, yielding to demand, performed in cities in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota, From time to time distinguished soloists such as Fou- ermann Szigeti and Bauer were invited to play with the group, As a result of the success in the midwest, Mr. Saidenberg was invit- ed to come to New York just before tie war to organize an eastern or- chestral ensemble, When the or- chestra made its debut at New York's Town Hall the reviews of the critics and the reception of the audience left no doubt as. to the stature and accomplishment of the group. Requests for appearances outside the city quickly followed. Mr. Saidenberg has been heard frequently on the radio over CBS serious music programs as well as over NBC conducting the orchestra on the Chase and Sanborn Hour, featuring Alec Templeton. He has also . conducted small symphony groups in Denver and on the West Coast, as well as engagements as guest conductor of the Philadel- phia Orchestra at the Dell Con- certs, ; Available for the first time .since the war, audiences throughout. the country will hear the Saidenberg Sinfonietta give a musical evening not soon to be forgotten.

RCN Task Force Joins U. S. Navy In Operations " Ottawa, Oct. 25 (CP)--The five- ship (Canadian task force visiting Pearl Harbor is teaming with units of the United States Navy and Air Force for joint exercises in the Pacific, Defence Minister .Claxton announced today. The exercises, Yoder combat con- ditions, are the "most thorough workout" by Canadian and Ameri- can forces since the end of the war, he said. They include defence against submarine: torpedo and air attack; bombardment firing, eva- sion tactics and control of air strikes. ' During the voyage to Hawaii, the Canadian ships became an "enemy" fleet and were located and shadowed by U.S. planes. In another operation, six US. subs were to locate and "attack" the Canadian cruiser Ontario, her screening destroyers Cayuga, Atha- baskan and Crescent and the frigate Antigonish. The Canadian ships' de- fences were supplemented by U.S. combat aircraft, organized and con- trolled by Ontario. Prior to arrival at Pearl Harbor, they were subjected to a dawn "attack" by U.S. Air Force planes. U.S. Navy aircraft provided .cover for the Canadian force. During the all-day visit at Pearl Harbor, Ontario will do bombard- ment firing and exercises ip de- fensive tactics against torpedoes and air attack. The destroyers and the frigate will engage in anti- submarine practice -- individually, as a group and in company with U.S. anti-sub forces. To acquaint Canadian personnel fully with American tactics and methods, arrangements have been made for officers and men to go to sea in U.S. submarine and escort vessels.
