FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1948 THE. .DAILY. Ti MES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Film On Powers Of Atomic Energy To Be Here Sun. A motion picture, "The Way of Peace", produced by Christian Films Incorporated in collaboration with the American Lutheran Church and Protestant Film Commission, will be shown on Sunday night at the Baptist Church at 8.30. This film presents the means and the way to a lasting peace. It also shows the alternative in the awful destructive power of atomic energy. In vivid pictures of sound and technicolor this film shows man's deliberate misuse of the gifts of God in nature and points out how he will destroy the planet with atomic energy unless be finds a new plan of co-operation between men and nations. The final se- quence of the film is a terrifying and yet sublime spectacle of what man is now capable with this new weapon of atomic energy. A spec- tacle of the Earth dissolving in space through the effect of radio- sctive rays with an appeal to accept the Christian way of life brings the film to a dramatic conclusion. The film will be shown imme- diately after the minister's message on Sunday evening, The nfinister will speak on the subject "What part is the atom bomb likely to play in the divine plan of history."

Thrilled With Canada The Strattons are thrilled to be in this country. From what they have seen, they say, they are sure they will like Oshawa.

Gold Piles Up In U.S. Vaults | Washington, Oct, 29 (AP).--The United States government's mount- ing gold pile appears on the verge of topping the $24,000,000,000 mark, after rising about $1,700,000,000 the last 12 months. The most recent report, for Tues- day, showed $23,996,169,474.59. Never before has any country ever had so much gold. The United States board represents over three- fifths of the world's known supply. Mining in the United States ac- counts for only a small part of the increasing gold stock. Most of the * _ gain results from foreign countries' Ddigging into their dwindling gold psupplies to pay for purchases here not offset by sales or American aid | | funds. P) Although officials wish to golden inflow would stop, the Usited States stands ready to buy an unlimited amount of "the rest of the world's $14,000,000,000 or so of gold at the standard "price of $35 an ounce. One explanation for this sftuation is that if the United States stopped buying, the rest of the world might quit regarding gold 'as worth its present price--and the United States stock would lose value.

Commissioner William Boddy said he thought that the Ontario Hydro had been holding off further cuts as much as possible but he feared that there were more coming. "If one of our major industries closes down, as has been announced, we will have no trouble keeping in our quota," Mr. Shreve said. "How- ever, if it does close down it will only be temporarily and then we will be back in the same position." The Commission took exception to a letter from the Township of East Whitby which protested about the charges made by the Commission for installation of water main con- | nections. "Are we charging any more than it costs us?" asked Commission Chairman S. J. Babe. "No," replied Mr. Shreve. He thought the Township was getting the service cheaply. "Our whole dealings with East Whitby is on a basis which they do not understand," Commissioner R. D. Mills declared. "They don't seem to realize that we have an expensive layout which costs money to main- tain." Mr. Boddy moved that a meeting " be treats and prizes for the best) 2th East Whitby representatives be called so the situation could be explained and the motion carried. Will Remove Tree Given the go ahead signal by City Council in regard to moving trees to provide adequate street lighting, the Commission decided that the project would be started and car- ried out as soon as possible. The question of lighting on Ritson Road where choice pole locations are held by private companies will be decided by Mr. Shreve and Mr. Bake after | meeting City Council, it was de- cided. The Commission received a letter from the committee in charge of constructing the Civic Memorial Stadium, asking that they install transformers for floodlighting. It was decided to purchase the trans- formers. and add a1 extra charge so that the cost may be amortized over a period of years. Another letter, from the Oshawa General Hospital, thanked the Com- mission for installing a feeder line which prevents the necessity of cut- ting off the hospital during the regular periods. "Let's flle that," remarked Com- missioner Baldwin. "It isn't often we get a compliment." A record was set in a report, sub- mitted by Mr. Shreve, showing that for the past six months all pubiic utilities bills had been paid by the public and there are no arrears outstanding. Last year at the same time there were two bills totalling $22.54 outstanding. "That is a very fine record," com- mented Mr. Mills. Financial Reports The electrical operating budget as of August 31 showea an actual ex- penditure of $56,767.33 as against an . estimated $51,506.50. This rep- resents an increase of $5,860.74 or 11.37 per cent. However, actual revenue was $582,874.87 as against an estimated $553,936.96 or an in- crease of $28,737. The water works system showed an actual cost of $61,556.33 as against an estimated $55,138.38 or an increase of $6,417.95. In the revenue column the actual receipts amounted to $136,614.31 against an estimated $132,164.74 or an increase of $4,449.57. The Commission authorized the purchase of an acre of land to the north of the present pumping sta- tion to provide for future expansion. A delegation from City Council composed of Aldermen Clifford Harman and Cephus Gay appeared before the Commission to enquire about a bathing beach on the lake- front. The Commission will study the matter. Alderman Harman thanked the Commission for the courtesy and co-operation extended to him at all times by Manager Shreve. Australia Plans Whaling Industry Sydney, Australia--(CP)--Whal- ing experts are -surveying Austral- ian coastal waters with a view to establishing a whaling industry based on Australia. Prime Minister Chifley made the announcement in the House of Re- presentatives in reply to a question whether Australia intended to es- tablish a whaling station in Antar- tica in the light of Japanese inter- est in the area. He replied that the government had employed a Norwegian 'whaler to examine two centres--one at Al- bany, in West Australia, and the other at Twofold Bay, the head- quarters of the old whaling fleets on the coast of New South Wales. Mr. Chiffey said the hold-up in establishing a whaling fleet for the Antarctic waters was the difficulty in getting a suitable factory ship. "Staggering profits" were waiting to be snatched from Australian coastal water, according to F. F. Anderson, fisheries expert, on his return from a survey of the fisher- ies research vessel, Warreen. Mr. Anderson made the trip in company with Norwegian and Aus- tralian whaling men. He told that with modern equipment a company | could make a yearly profit of about |i $500,000 by catching 2,000 hump- back whales in a year. (Before the war whalers caught on an average about 3,000 hump-backs a year in |i the area the government proposes |§ | to fish.) With whale oil worth $440 a ton h on today's market, 2,000 whales would yield 15,000 tons of oil at a || cost of around $120 a ton, leaving a profit of $320 a ton to the com- pany.

The board, which holds another public session today, heard six com- panies apply Thursday for permis- sion to establish television broad- casting stations in Toronto and Montreal. The six members of the board took the representations un- der advisement without indicating when their decisions will be made public, Five of the six applicants said that even if their applications were approved now it would take them from 12 to 18 'months to begin tele- vision operations. The board's powers are limited to recommendations to the licensing authority in. the Transport Depart- ment, but the recommendations almost invariably are accepted. making | Displaced Arabs ToDemand Return Of Lost Property By SEAGHAN MAYNES Rhodes (Reuters)--Homeless Arab refugees from Palestine, crowded into neighboring Arab states, are demanding "eye for an eye" treat- ment for the hundreds of thousands of Jews living in Moslem countries. United Nation officials in touch with Arab politicians have received hints that, unless the Jews in Pales- tine permit Arab refugees to return to their homes, many thousands of Jews in the Middle East may be driven out "in the same condition as Arabs were driven from Pales- tine." Arab refugees who have lost pro- perty in Palestine are reported to be receiving semi-official support for their demands that they should be compensated from Jewish homes and property in Arab countries. Jewish authorities have described the wiping out of Arab villages and town quarters as "slum clearance" or "civic improvement schemes." But the Arabs are convinced the demolitions are part of a plan to ensure that Arab refugees can never return--even if return were ordered by the United Nations. In Palestine's major port of Haifa, where only 10 per cent of the ori- ginal Arab population remains, sec- tions of the Arab quarters are being razed by demolition squads. Many buildings, particularly around the Arab market place, could be classi- fied as slum property. Dozens of evacuated Arab vil- lages, particularly in Galilee, where most of the territory has been oc- cupied by Jewish forces, are being dynamited into rubble. Reports of demolitions, coupled with the Jewish provisional gov- ernment's refusal to permit the re- homes in Jewish-occupied areas, are (turn of Arab refugees to their | inflaming Arab feeling against Jews living in the 'Arab countries.

Middle-East experts believe the Arab populations, embittered by the non-fulfilment of the promised ob- jective, would be ripe for trouble if the Palestine conflict were halted either by a compromise or by the power of the United Nations. Competent observers in the Mid- dle East consider that demonstra- tion in Iraq, Syria, Trans-Jordan and Egypt have already paved the way for more serious disorders. If the Arab peoples felt they had been "let down" on the Palestine situa- tion they 'might turn on their leaders. The same sources believe, how- ever, such demonstrations could easily be deflected from Arab offi- cialdom towards Jews in the Arab countries who would then be at the mercy of venegeful mobs. Expert Explains Scottish Names - Winnipeg (CP)--If you're not sure whether a Scottish name be- gins with "Mc" or "Mac" -- use "Mac." So says Norman MacLen- nan, president of the Winnipeg Gaelic Society. Mr. MacLennan presided at the society's second Caelidh of the sea- son here. Caelidh is Gaelic for gathering and is pronounced Kaylee. Mr, MacLennan said " 'Mac' is a word meaning 'son' as in 'Robert- son." However, 'Mc' is just an ab- breviation. It is not correct in either Northern Ireland or Scotland." Scottish people at the meeting were told they could brush up on their Gaelic or learn it at weekly Gaelic classes, The instructor is a local high-school teacher -- Daniel MacLeod. . "He's the finest Gaelic teacher in Canada," said Norman Cameron, past president of the Society. Some - Scottish names have odd meanings, Mr. M-cLennan said, pointing to Mr. Cameron. "Cameron means crooked nose. And Campbell means crooked mouth." Nova Scotians Plan Long Trip Yarmouth, N.S--(CP) -- A sea- going vessel is no uncommon sight to Yarmouth residents, but when |it sails up the main street it makes both landlubbers and old salts stop and look.

Navigator and owner of the ship is Alan Kempton of Truro, N.S. who intends to sail with a com- panion on a three-year voyage of international goodwill and explora- tion along the coasts of North and South America and up tie Amazon river. Kempton plans to finance the trip by writing letters to subscribers describing the geography and social .conditions of places and peoples he encounters.
