On the shield were the, emblems of the products G.M. had built for 25 years and more, and on the ribbon below the shield, the words, "Loyalty, Crafts- manship and Experience". Such qualities were by no means confined to the 25 Year Club but it was in that organization that one would find them exemplified to the high- est degree. : Recalling some of the events which occurred in the year when the new club members joined G.M., 1923, Mr. Wecker remembered that in that year Lord Byng was Gov- LONG SERVICE (Continued on Page 5) Fall Paving Program Is Under Way Board of Works workmen under the direction of City Engineer W. T. Dempsey are well into the fall paving program with half a dozen projects now under way. First Avenue is being paved be- tween Albert and Simcoe Streets with Duplate Canada,' Ltd, and The Pedlar People Ltd., bearing part of the cost; Gibb Street from Cen- tre to Nassau Streets and from Burk to Park Road; Olive Avenue from Simcoe to Albert Streets; Celina Street at Olive Avenue with a couple of. other smaller projects. Mr. Dempsey hopes that most of these projects will be completed soon. Tenders have also been called for the construction of a granular or macadam base on 5500 square yards of city streets. Such a base permits paving at a later date. Streets affected are Thomas Street, Stacey Avenue, Huron Street, Clarke Street and Grierson Street. Bids for this work, which can be done late in the fall, will close on November 1. Mr, 'Dempsey said he hoped that some of the new aluminum street signs will arrive in Oshawa at the beginning of the month. e foundry will deliver them as they are ready rather than hold up de- livery until the whole order is ready. . First streets to get the new signs will be King and Simcoe. Work on the new Colborne Street footbridge will start this week.

Driver of the automobile was George Walker, 194 Clark Street. Police were told conflicting stories. Nyshta said he was turning .right on Ritson Road from Olive Avenue when the taxi cab driven by Walk. er struck him. Walker said that Nyshta, who was riding a bicycle, ran into his car. Nyshta had the wound in his fore. head dressed at the Oshawa Gener- al Hospital. .r Injured Boy, Quebec Driver Gets ¥ined $50 As the result of an accident on Ritson Road South on October 13 during which Ronnie Reinkoster, 12, of 390 Verdun Road was injured while on his way to school, Forest Lloyd Lancaster, of Bury, Quebec, was convicted on a charge of care- less driving in police court today and fined $50 and costs by Magis- trate Frank Ebbs. Magistrate Ebbs said that while he ordinarily suspended the drivers' licence in the case of a conviction, he would, in this case, leave the suspension to the department. Lan- caster held a Quebec licence and Magistrate Ebbs was not sure just where his jurisdiction lay or to what extent there was reciprocity in such matters between the two provinces. Following the accident Ronnie was in the hospital for a week, said Dr. J. R. Bayne, who attended him. He suffered from multiple abrasions of the face, a severe contusion of the right thigh and concussion.

Bramuglia, | Acting Council President, ruled, and the resolution was rejected. Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky had told the Council he was prepared to veto the small-power compromise if it came to a vote. With both arms flailing the air, Vishinsky denounced a six-power resolution aimed at settling the crisis arising from the Soviet block- ade of Berlin. He said it was unfair to Russia. : Vishinsky said the Berlin question should never have been brought before the Security Council in the first place. Earlier, an authoritative source said the three Western Powers had rejected a Russian counter-proposal for ending blockade. The Soviet Deputy Foreign Min- ister said his main objection to the six-power proposal was that the blockade was to be raised at once, "only talks will be organized" im- mediately on the currency reform demanded by the Russians. "We cannot accept that," he de- clared. The six-power resolution called for immediate lifting of the block- ade, adoption of the Soviet Mark as the sole currency. for Berlin by Nov. 20 and meetings of the Big Four Council of Foreign Ministers by Nov. 30 to discuss the whole problem of Germany. . British, French and United States delegates all informed the council, before Vishinsky spoke, that they would accept the resolution, Today Vishinsky told the council | he 'had to protect the Soviet zone | of Germany against a "danger" created by introduction of the Wes~ tern Mark into Berlin. 1 "The removal of restrictions by' the | 1 the USSR. is predicated on the condition of the currency reform" in Berlin, he said. The present reso- lution. "leads us back to the Moscow agreement of Aug. 30," he added. That, Vishinsky went on, provided for simultaneous lifting of the sloekade and currency reform. During Berlin negotiations to im- plement the Moscow agreement of Aug. 30, Marshal Vassily D. Sokol- ovsky, Russian Commander in Ger- many, injected a demand that Rus- sia be given control of the airlift and the negotiations collapsed. The Russian plan, one informant said, called for lifting of the Berlin blockade by stages, in conjunction with currency revision and other adjustments of the German prob- em. British, United States, French and neutral delegates considered the Russian plan for an hour this morning at a meeting in the apart- ment of Juan Atilio Bramuglia, Argentine, Foreign Minister and Acting President of the Security Council. After the decision was reached against the Russian plan, Bramug- lia went to tell Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, the Western answer. Bramuglia was reported to have tried to convince the neutrals and the Western group they should ac- cept a new draft he prepared after he saw Vishinsky twice Sunday night.
