Seek Park For p North West City Area The Northwest Communist Asso- ciation, covering the area west of the creek and north of King Street, was organized at a meeting held at the home of Cecil Rowden, 50 Glad- stone Avenue. Object of the associa- tion is to press for a park in the area. At present the nearest park to this district is on Park Road South which means that the child- ren are forced to cross the highway to get there. At the: meeting, which was at- tended by C.R.A. advisers, it was de- cided to send out teams of canvas- sers who will take a petition. for a park to all area homes for signa- tures. It was also decided to hold a meeting open to all district resi- dents. on the evening of November 19 at the C.R.A. building to discuss further plans. A provisional executive elected last night consisted of Cecil Row- den, president; Donald Collins, vice= president; Orville Mitchell, secre- tary and Alex Blythe, treasurer. Trains Rell From Capital St. John's, Nfld, Nov. 13 (CP)-- The first train out of this capital in more than a month will steam across Newfoladland today to re- open operations on the island's only extensive transport system. Some 2500 workers accepted a compromise wage offer Friday and went back to their jobs after a paralyzing strike that began Oct. 11 and threatened to extend into the winter freeze-up. When the end came, it was sud- den and took 'most observers by surprise. Trans-Canada Air Lines had announced only hours before the settlement that it would trans- fer its staff to Sydney, N.S. from the huge Gander airport, where fuel supplies were running low. There were fears that the north- ern outports -- already facing a shortage of food and other necessi- ties -- would face dire hardship if the tie-up continued into the win- ter. Many of Newfoundland's 320,000 inhabitants are dependent on the 550-mile narrow-gauge 'right o' way" that "is the sole means of transport in large inland regions. The Railway Co-operative Board --Trepresenting 18 brotherhoods -- originally asked for a, 15-cent hourly wage hoist but finally settled for a 10-cent increase to hourly paid men and a $20 a m "th jump to salaried workers, The increases are retro- active to June 16. The back-to-work call came at noon, just 32 days and one hour af- ter the strike started. A previous offer by the Commission Govern- ment, owner of the railway, of a 10 cent an hour increase depending on the type of work done had beer refused by the strikers, Coming Events MADAME NEVADA, PALMIST, AT. 195 Huron St., Wednesday, Thursday, Fri- day, Nov. 10-11-12, from 10 a.m. till 9 p.m. (Nov, 12) TEA AND SALE OF WORK held in Simcoe St. United Church on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. Westmount' W.A.

Lie Pleads For Berlin Settlement Paris, Nov. 13--(AP)--The presi- dent of the United Nations Assem- ly and the U. N. secretary-general made an urgent personal appeal to- day to the political leaders of the United States, Russia, Britain and France to settle the Berlin dispute t once. » Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, Australian Foreign Minister, who is president of this Assembly session, and Trygve Lie, the secretary-general offered their good offices to the four big powers in efforts to solve the dis- pute. Their action was without pre- cedent in the U. N. ' The two invoked the recent Mex- ican resolution, approved unani- mously by the Assembly, which had called upon the big four to do all possible to settle all their differen- "Every day that the deadlock over Berlin continues, the danger to thé peace and security of all nations continues undiminished. "Fear of another war is crippling the effort of all nations to repair the damage of the last war and re- turn once more to the ways of peace. "The work of the General Assem- bly an dof the United Nations as a whole in every field of emdeavor is being delayed and undermined." Evatt and Lie told the four lead- ers it is within their power to end this danger to peace. "We therefore respectfully urge upon the governments of France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics, the United Kingdom and the United States. . .The desirability of immediate conversations and of tak- ing all other necessary steps toward the solution of the Berlin question, thus opening the way to a prompt resumption of negotiations for the conclusion of the remaining peace settlements for Germany, Austria and Japan." Evatt and Lie said in their letter they believed the great powers should lend full and active support to the efforts at mediation of the dispute by the November president of the Security Council, Juan A. Bramuglia, the Foreign Minister of Argentina. He led the neutral ef- forts. Big Demand For Apples The Week] Crop and Market Re- port of the Federal Department of Agriculture revealed today that Napple harvesting in the Ontario County area is almost finished, with a continued heavy market de- mand for the fruit. A few Spys and Ben Davis remain to be picked. The bulk of apples, according to the report, are now in dealers' hands in common and cold storage, and prices show a slight increase on good quality fruit. Prices on juice and peeling apples have also TO BE| firmed a little. MacIntosh and Snow apples are becoming ripe in common storages, and need to be moved out fairly rapidly. Supplies of potatoes and other vegetables continue heavy, with de- mand "only fair."

The special speakers of the day will be Rev. Ivan E. Kennedy, of Claremont, and Rev. Gordon W. Porter of St. Paul's Avenue Road United Church in Toronto. Mr. Kennedy, who will speak at the morning service, is the Chair- man of the Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church, and Mr. Porter is a former Chief Chaplain for Eng- land and Scotland, during the last War. The aninversary services will be held in the new North Oshawa Church building, which was built | and dedicated only this year. The dedication services took place in April of this year. The lay Minister of the church is Stephen G. Saywell, Cadillac Avenue, Oshawa. Rev. George Telford, minister of St. Andrew's United Churéh, is the su- pervising pastor. The history of the church dates back to 1910, when a group of resi- dents organized a North Oshawa Union Sunday School, which was held in the homes of several of the people of the area until the first North Oshawa Church building was erected in 1912. This building was situated on Lot 1 of the Second Concession of the Township of East Whitby. The first minister of 'the church, who served from 1920 to 1922, was Rev. John Doe. Following Rev. Mr. isters, including Clarence Ferguson, Doe, there was a succession of min- from 1922-23; Frank Maxwell, 1923- 25; Rev. Joseph Barnes, 1925-26; Rev. W. A, Bunner, 1926-20; Rev. A. M. Irwin, now retired and living at Whitby, 1929-31; Rev. John Bunner, 1931-32; Rev. Dr. Smith, 1032-34; and Rev. Robert Wylie, 1934-46. Since 1936 Stephen Saywell has been the lay minister of the church. Some years ago a parcel of land for the prospective new church building was donated by the late J. W. Borsbery, and it is on this land that the new church was erect- ed this year. Mr. Saywell has acted as the lay minister in the church since before the erection of the new building. Plan Available For Inspection At Local Office Plans for three important con- struction projects, for which ten- ders close in the near future, are available for inspection at the office of the Oshawa Builders' Exchange at 3 Simcoe Street South, O. S. Hobbs, secretary, reports. These are plans for a new transmitter build- ing at the Oshawa Wireless School, and heating alterations to the existing buildings.

Dymond, it was announced in The Port Perry Star this week that the Port Perry hos- pital has been forced to close. The statement was as follows: { For the first time in some 30 | years Port Perry is without a hos- | pital for its people. Operated as a | private venture for many years and | not without sacrifice to the owners on many occasions, and latterly as a community venture, the hospital on the 31st of October had to cease admitting new patients for lack of trained nurses. And we as citizens as well as two of the doctors charg- ed with the responsibility of caring for the sick feel this is indeed a tragedy yet it seems scarcely to have a ripple on the surface of our living. We are told the hospital has clos- ed because nurses cannot be ob- tained. For some months now three graduate nurses with the help of a practical nurse and the occasional help of married nurses have kept the hospital going. They have worked 12 hour shifts without com- plaint and often have put in extra hours to help out in an emergency. And this has been done in times when all emphasis is placed on shorter working hours. But now one of our nurses has had to resign and it is humanly impossible for two to carry on alone. Perhaps some among us would question the need of a hospital in our village. A look at what is done here should dispel all doubt in this direction. For example, since Jan. 1st the hospital has had 1,545 pa- tient days; 45 major operations; 79 minor operations; 48 obstetrical | remembered too, that apart from | Lack of Trained Nurses Forces Hospital Closing cases and has cared for 15 accident | cases. All those patients would have had fo be accommodated else- | 4&8 where had the hospital not been | here, and we believe all know how | difficult it is to have patients ad- | mitted to outside hospitals, because | they too have their problems of bed | and nurse shortage. It should be | Oshawa Hospital, ours here was the | only other General hospital in On- tario County. As one goes about one is amazed at the great mass of misinformation | one hears concerning the hospital | here. We are told the rates are too | high but on checking with other | hospitals in the area we find the | rates charged here are no higher! and often lower than other hospi- tals, and that there is no secret about the rates charged here. Then we hear complaints about the nurs- | ing service, yet we can say truth- | fully we have never yet had a pa- | tient complain about this, indeed ! we have heard many say how well they were cared for and nursed while in the hospital. We cannot say all that should be said about this subject in the space of one short article but we have taken the liberty of making, these few observations in the hope that it will give rise to some real and concerted effort on the part of the entire community to the end that the hospital may again be opened for the meeting of a need that is very real. We stated this was a tragedy; we repeat this and say with conviction that it could not be any worse if we had had to close our schools or our churches. And we are certain that would never be tolerated. Old Resident Of Pickering Dies Suddenly BARRY MURKAR Correspondent Pickering, Nov. 13--One of Pick- ering's most esteemed and gracious women was laid to rest yesterday in the person of Mrs. Miles 8. Chapman. Mrs. Chapman passed away in Oshawa Hospital on Wed- nesday, following a sudden illness last Sunday morning. Mrs. Chapman was a member of one of the older Pickering families, the third daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Wright, a former hardware merchant here. Mrs. Chapman attended the 'Pickering College when it was located in this village. In 1902 she married Mr. Chapman and they have lived here and conducted a successful business ever since. She was always church, first in_ the : Presbyterian congregation and then in the United Church, She was Presby- terial treasurer for many years. Her acts of kindness and cheery dis- position will long be remembered by the many' who know her and her passing is a great sorrow to the whole village. The funeral service was conduct- ed by the pastor, Rev. R. C. Cope- land, assisted' by Rev. H. Crosier and Rev. E. G. Robinson. - Inter- ment took place in the Friends Cemetery. Very few pheasants were shot during the two-day annual shoot active in the here last week end it is reported. It is learned that hunters in Mark- ham Township had much more luck and a good many bagged their limit. A township quiz will be conducted at East Woodlands Community Hall next Monday evening, when Mr, T. D. Thomas, member of the Pro- vincial Legislature for Ontario and Reeve of East Whitby Township, will be the master of ceremonies. Members of the Township Council and Clerk L. T. Johnston will be participating. Everyone is invited to attend this meeting. Horace Brown has one of his stories on the CBC on Sunday, November 21 at 7.30.

Court of Revision for the Town- | ship will be held next Monday and about 80 appeals will be presented. | This is considered very good, in view of -the new assessment. An- other smaller township in the county had over 300 appeals. Pickering will soon be a com- munity of artists if things keep | going the way they are.

Ayre As An 'Old Guard' A pleasing and appropriate part of the program at the Royal Winter Fair, Nov. 16-24, will be the dinner tendered the "Old Guard" by the Board of Directors. This small coterie represents only 36 members who hold the distinction of having exhibited at the first opening of the Royal 28 years ago, and who have exhibited annually ever since save for the period of the war when the Fair was closed. ' Durham County's member of the "Old Guard" is Alf Ayre, Hampton, who has carried off most of the honors in his sheep exhibits since the opening in 1922 and has never missed a single show. At the ban- quet the 36 honored guests will be given a green and gold seal to be added to the diplomas they won in 1922 and for their long and faith- | ful support. Police Investigate Two Minor Accidents There were two accidents yester- day, both of them minor and in neither was anyone injured. John Penicka, 446 Simcoe Street South, was driving in a southerly direction on Simcoe Street North. He reported to police that when he stopped at the intersection of King Street his automohile was struck in the rear by a car driven by Rev. 238 Division Street. Stewart Daniel, Peterborough, was driving in a westerly 'direction on King Slice! East, Lie told police, when Mrs. Hazel Stewart, Wilson Road North, who was making a left turn, collided with the rear of his automobile. Left rear 'fender anc hub cap were damaged. Centre Street. Kiddie Car Race From Four Corners Is Big Highlight Last night the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce entertained their wives, girl friends and friends at a social evening and dance at the Masonic Temple on Larry McGovern as master of ceremonies, provided a most humorous and enjoyable evening of dancing, skits and lunch, not to mention the truth or consequences program which was a highlight of the entertainment. started the program of variety which at ten o'clock turned into a show of short skits. With the ladies in attendance, it was thought fitting to introduce them to "Jaycee" busi- ness meeting procedure and the curtain was opened to reveal six of the chamber members asleep around the meeting table. Not only were they asleep, but they had their feet on the table and were snoring most loudly. With all the work at the Ontario County Flying Club air show under their belts the members thought the women should be shown some of the behind the scenes activities that took place last spring. Don Brown came forward in grand Style and put on a short skit involving mem- bers of the chamber hard at. work erecting a building of a temporary nature while a jet fighter "zoomed" overhead. Following this "The Sul- tan of Kataan" made an appearance on the stage and entertained his gift carrying guests while the audience shouted its approval. Bob Behm as the sultan, did a fine job dressed in the robes of office with a towel wrapped turban style around his bald head. The truth or consequences pro- gram proved the hit of the show when three members, two of whom are on the executive, were asked to tell how many rivets there were in the Queen Mary. The master of ceremonies allowed ample time to answer this simple question, ten seconds to be exact, but when no answer was forthcom- ing, the three members were decked out in women's clothing including wigs and driven to Burn's Shoe store at the Four Corners. Here, to their delight, were three kiddies skooters which they had to ride back to the Masonic Temple, along King and down Centre Street. The crowd at the. Four Corners was a little bewildered when these three men alighted from the car with their pants rolled up around their knees and wearing blond om brunette wigs but their expressions changed to one of despair when this trio took off -down King Street on the skooters. The race. was just under way when a uniformed policeman made an appearance on the street ir. front of the Central Hotel and halted the contestants. After en- quiring as to their sanity, and after giving a Times-Gazette staff photo- grapher time to take a picture, the racers were allowed to continue on their way. When the race was completed at the Masonic Temple it was found that Dr. Doug Langmaid had gone out in front with a four-length lead to capture first prize. Berne Mona- gnan came in a puffing second to win a box of chocolates, followed closely by a somewhat bewildered and out of breath Walter Fowley. The master of ceremonies question- ed these contestants as to the en- jcyment of the chamber members and friends. At this point the fun continued Ww. zn three blind-folded ladies had to feed three bibbed men with cream puffs. The results were a little con- fused as it was imp ssible to iden- tify the men until they had been cleaned up a little. Tv was finally agreed that Mr. Henry Monaghan had accomplished the feat in the least time so he was given the re- mainder of the cream puffs to take home. Another: "lucky" number was drawn from the hat and we found Don Cranfield had been picked to take part in the next act. After be- ing blind-folded, he was asked to hold the hand of three of the girls, ard then was to propose to the one he thought most eligible. Miss Fran- cis Lowe was the lucky girly and with Don on one knee with the mi- crophone under his chin he follow- ed the usual tradition and asked hc to marry "im. All this time Mrs. Cranfield was taking rather a dim view of her husband's performance with another girl, but it was enter- taining. A Joven lunch was served at the coriclusion of the program after which dancing followed. Mr. Hay- ward Murdoch the president of the chamber thanked Mr. Larry McGov- ern for the fine program and ex- pressed the hope that another such evening would follow. PROG-CON.

Paris, Nov. 13--(AP)--Russia ask ed the United States before all of the United Nations today: "You are preparing a Pearl Hare bor for the Soviet Union, aren't you?" Soviet delegate Andrei Y. Vishine sky declared heatedly on the U.N. Political Committee that "the Euro- pean part of Russia--this heart of Russia--is being aimed at." Vishinsky said Lt.-Gen. George C. Kenney of the United States Air Force wrote in the magazine News= week last May 17 of a plan to use the atom bomb against Moscom and other key Soviet cities. The Newsweek article was the subject of two other blasts from Moscow earlier this year. On June 9, an official Soviet note complain- ing of alleged American war-mon- gering cited the Newsweek article. A week previous, the Soviet member of the Allied Council for Japan wrote to Gen. McArthur saying the article contained "insolent slander" about Russia. Newsweek said then that the arti« cle simply reported military think- ing at the time in both Washing~ ton and Moscow. The story describ- ed how the United States Aid Force would operate and how the Rus- sians probably would operate "iff the Russians suddenly went berserk; and swept into Western Europe."
