WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE " PAGE NINE Goes On Parade Today At Royal Championshi p Stock 20th Winter Fair Ends Tonight With Brief Ceremony Toronto, Nov. 24 (CP)--The Royal Winter Fair will close up shop tonight on its 20th annual show -- in many ways the biggest and best yet. With the completion of judging Tuesday, the show today will put its championship livestock on par- ade, auction off much of ifs beef cattle, present two more of its fam- ous horse shows, and finally pull he curtains in a brief closing cere- ony. , Tuesday's horse show was climax- ed by the faultless performance of a six-year-old chestnut geling jum- per--Wings -- who romped off with the rich $1,500 President's Jumping Stakes donated by the fair's President, J. A. Northey. Veteran steeplechase rider Bill Ow- ens rode the horse to its win for W. R. Ballard of Weston. The crowd's biggest applause, however, went out, to a 16-year-old rider, Doug Cudney of Winona, who guided his father's horse, ..ortino, to third place over the difficult course with only one point in er- rors against him. Thirty-eight old- er riders didn't do as well. The Olympic-champion Mexican team left no doubt of its jumping superiority as Col. Humberto Mar- iles, team captain, rode Arete through an errorless performance in the "knock down and out" stake. .It was the seventh successive win for Mexico's jumpers in as many nights, One Canadian team member, Lieut. W. R. Ballard, jumped to a close second place behind the col- onel. Only one hurdle knocked down vy his mount, Skip Across, barred im from tying the winner. The show's grand championship for two-horse heavy-draught teams was decided at Tuesday night's show. Two high-stepping Clydes- dales entered by Zimmerman Bros. of Tavistock, ended the undefeated record of Belgians from Meadow Brook Farms of Rochester, Mich., to take the award. The American entry won the reserve grand cham- pionship. An American entry, Kalamara Honey from Green's Farms, Clar- ence, N.Y.,, won the $1,500 Phillips Saddle Pony Stake. Tuesday's final judging of thor- oughbred horses gave a grand championship rosette to Lilac Grove Belle, shown by Alvin Tay- lor of Grand Valley, as the show's best Clydesdale mare, Taylor's en- try also won the Mark Duff Me- morial Shield for Clydesdales. «Four more grand champions were chosen from a line-up of purebred beef cattle. Grand championship females in their breed were: Herefords -- Sil- ver Trophy, owned by W. A. Craw- ford-Frost, Nanton, Alta.; Short- horns -- Maxine Duchess, owned by T. G. Hamilton, Innisfail, Alta.; Aberdeen-Angus Pardella M,, owned by Witham Farms, Romeo, Mich.; dual-purpose Shorthorns -- Cheapside Betty Anne, owned by H. M., Atkinson, Nanticoke. Auctions , Tuesday of beef and swine carcasses brought average prices of 56 cents a pound for beef, 61 cents for Wiltshire sides and 51 cents for hog carcasses. Ribbon-winning carcasses brought top prices. Grand champion beef parcass shown by William G. Jack- n and Sons of Downsview, prought 90 cents a pound; the champion Wiltshire side entered by Preston Hooker of Cooksville, sold at $140 a pound, and the winner of the Todd Trophy in swine car- cass judging, William Pinkney and Sons of Cooksville, received $1.25 a pound for the carcass. Championships were announced Tuesday in the judging of the fol- lowing breeds of sheep: Southdown rams and ewes --Don Head Farm, Richmond Hill; Shrop- shire rams and ewes -- F. W. Gur- ney, Paris; Lincoln rams -- John Gardhouse, Weston; Lincoln ewes-- Leeland Farms, Highgate; Hamp- shire rams -- David E. McDowell, Mercer, Pa.; and Hampshire ewes-- R. B. Glaspell, Bowmanville.

Harry, former Cal- gary druggist, Tuesday was fined $10,000 after pleading guilty to a charge of attempting to smuggle $35,000 in United States currency into the United States last Oct. 12. It was decided that the money would be changed into Canadian currency a the amount. 'Harry would then re- ceive the balance in Canadian funds. MEMORY O.K.

He said the United States gov- ernment is about to make a long- awaited announcement calling the 11-country wheat preparatory com- mittee into session. ; Among delegates to the United Nations food and agriculture organ- ization, there is speculation that President Truman will make it of- ficial in his address this afternoon to that world body. The arrival in Washington of Charles F. Wilson, Canada's top wheat expert, lent weight to re- ports that the wheat pact is ripe for new discussion. A spokesman for Canada's F.AO. delegation said last week: "Mr. Wil- son will not be called from Oftta- wa to Washington unless there are going to be discussions on a new wheat pact." Wilson, chairman of the Prepara- tory Committee, confirmed to re- porters that he came to Washing- ton in that capacity. The committee includes Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Egypt, Brazil, Indian and Benelux coun- tries. A full-dress conference of the 36 countries which wrote the pact of last March can be brought toge- ther only on the committee's au- thority. That agreement, approved by Cahada and Australia, provided for those countries and the United States to export a total of 500,000,- 000 bushels during the next five years. The 33 importing countries were to have paid prices ranging from a $2-a-bushel maximum to minimums of $1.50 in 1948-49 and $1.10 in 1952-53. The F.A.O. conference agenda does not call for discussion of wheat-agreement possibilities. But general interest in the question has made that a major topic of infor- mal exchange of views. H. H. Hannam of Ottawa, presi- dent of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said last week he thinks the conference will "miss the boat" if it does not "stress the impor- tance" of early completion of a wheat agreement.

'| system? --Globe and Mail Photo Church Ban Cuts Sales Montreal, Nov. 24--(CP) -- On Quebec's booming French Publish- ing front a risque novel is given less chance of becoming a best seller than one from which the spice has been blue-pencilled. "The (Roman Catholic) church is still a strong influence against any suggestion of immortality in books," says Robert Charbonneau, publisher, critic, poet and novelist. Thus a book likely to incur a church ban is abmost certain' to wind up amongst the also-rans. Neverthzless competition today waxes hot among 20-odd publishers for all literature by home-brew tal- ent. Says the dapper Montreal pub- lisher: "All this competition is a far cry from the days when a writ- er couldn't crash into print unless he had the means to have his work published; Oftentimes the mort- gaging of his salary was part of an agreement reached with a publish- er." The preponderance of literature continues to be of a-religious na- ture. But more and more novels, historical bocks and . poetry are finding their way to the market from the pens of a promising lot of some 40 new writers. Montreal is 'he hub of French publishing ac- tivity in Canada. Ameng established: Canadian writers whose Work remains much in demand, Charbonneau lists: Rin- guet (Dr. Philippe Panneton), nov- elist; Leopold Desrosiers, historian and novelist; Chanoine Lionel Griulx, Jean Burhcesi, assistant Provincial Secretary, and Victor Berbeau, historical writers. Charbonneau rates Jean Jules Richards as the most promising of new authors because of his '"crea- tive ability." A young veteran who campaigned throughout the war overseas, Richards first novel, "Neuf Jours Haine, (Nine Days of Hate)," had a war theme and creat- ed a sensation. Other talented young writers in- clude Roger Lemelin whose first novel about Quebec City, "Au Pied La Pente Douce," was translated into English under title of "The Town Below;" Alain Grandbois and Anne Hebedt, poets; Germaine Guevremont, novelist; Robedt Ru- milly, provincial historical novelist; Abbe Felix Antoine, lyric novelist, and Roger Duhamel. "The perennial best-seller among French-language novels continues to be "Un Homme Et Son Peche" (A Man and His Sin), the story of a miser by Claude Henri Gringon, Mayor of St. Adele, Que. The run- ner-up: Gabrielle Roy's "Bonheur D'Occasion," the English transla- tion of which sold under title of "The Tin Flute." News Budget Of Prince Albert F. E.

Best wishes go with them in their new adven- ure, London, Nov. 24--(CP)--Early in the new year British newspapers will learn whether they are likely to come under the watchdog super- vision of a permanent Press Coun- cil. Some time in February the Royal Commission on the press is expect- ed to publish a report, based on evidence fiom scores of persons con- nected with newspaper and period- ical publishing in this country. No reference to establishmen of a Press Council was made in the instructions giver the commission when it was formed in March, 1947, but questions asked by its members indicated lively interest in the pos- sibility. The National Union of Journal- ists, which agitated for the com- mission inquiry, since has passed a resolution urging creation of a council on which newspaper own- ers and journalists' unions would sit under an independent chairman. The council would concern itself "with preserving freedom of the .press, promoting high standards in the conduct of newspapers and pub- licly expose distortion or suppres- sion of news, but would not have the power to impose penalties. The commission's views on the subject cannot, of course, be guess- ed. During the long inquiry, which had cost £11,000 ($44,000) to the end of August, a surprising number of publishers indicated willingness to accept some such body. The general feeling was, however, that other things--notably larger supplies of newsprint--must come first if there is to be an improvement in present- ation of news. More than one editor, admitting error in the handling of a story, blamed the newsprint shortage. "In a four-page paper we have an average of just over 17,000 words per day, and I suppose that raw Permanent Press Council Urged By British Union material at our disposal each day is in excess of 150,000 words, so you can see the possibility of misjudg- ment or error," said Arthur Christ- iansen, editor of the Daily Express. Besides sounding out witnegses on the advisability of a Press Council, the commission, headed by Sir Davis Ross, provost of Oriel Uni- versity, Oxford, was concerned with such questions as: 1. Are newspaper chains.an un- healthy influence? 2. Do individual newspapers dis- tort news? 3. Should newspaper men be spe- cially trained? 4. Are certain people boycotted in the press? 5. Do advertisers exert undue in- fluence on the press? H. R. Davies, a director of the Newspaper Society, which repre- sents about 1,100 papers, claimed that group ownership had resulted in "the best and most accurate re- porting of news" by smaller papers. Individual charges of distortion generally boiled down to admissions of errors in judgment by editors working under extreme pressure or limited by space. On the third question opinion was that good newspaper men are born rather than made. Top-ranking men in the profession as often start from office boys as from schools of journalism. Some newspapers admitted that the names of certain personalities were banned from their pages. The usual explanation was that the pa- pers had "trouble" with them in the form of real or threatened libel suits. The fifth question was answered by the newsprint shortage. Advertising space is so scarce that advertisers seek the goodwill of the newspapers rather than the other way around. Dominion Bank Assets Mount Liquids Strong A strong liquid position, sub- stentially higher deposits, an in- crease in investments and commer- cial loans, and a new high in to- tal assets of over $393,000,000, are features of the annual statement of the Dominion Bank for the year ended Oct. 30 last. Net profits, after Dominion and provincial government taxes of $950,000 and deduction of $247,000 for bank premises depreciation, were $1,122,097, as compared with $971,678 for the previous year. Div- idends at the rate of 10 per cent per annum totalling $700,000 were paid. The amount of $422,097 car- ried forward to profit and loss brought the latter up to $1,054,510, capital and reserve of $10,000,000 re- main unchanged. An increase of $35,000,000 was shown in deposits, which totalled $358,051,000 as compared with $323,- 277,000 for the previous year. An increase of $13,804,000 brought non- interest bearing deposits by the public to a total of $125,803,000, while interest bearing deposits also increased $13,449,000 to $213,595,000, deposits by Dominion and provin- cial governments were up $7,970,000 to $19,103,000. Cash assets of $68,053,000 were 18.63 per' cent. of public liabilities, and immediately available assets of $241,283,000 were 66 per cent. of these abilities. An increase of over $23,000,000 in investments brought -the total to $162,335,000, of which $143,907,000 is in Dominion and provincial gov- ernment direct and guaranteed se- curities. The balance is represented by municipal and other high grade holdings. Commercial loans and discounts in Canada' Increased' $4,720,000 to a total of $132,000,000, while call and short loans of $10,858,000 and letters of credit, acceptances, etc. totalling $9,912,000 remained about the same. . After writing off $247,337, "the Costs Rising At Generally Slower | Rate Ottawa, Nov. 24--(CP) -- Except for the lucky people who live in Iceland and Portugal, it still costs everyone else more and more to live during the first half of this year. The Portuguese and Icelanders, were the exceptions in a general upward trend in cost of living in- dices reported Tuesday nignt by the Bureau of Statistics survey of | World prices during the first six months of 1948. Wholesale prices presented about the same picture. Again there were only two exceptions in the genera upward movement. In this case, however, the countries were whole- sale prices declined were Spaia and Italy. The increases i ncost of living indices throughout the World were generally from one to 10 per cent and on the whole the trend up- wards was slower than in the last half of 1948. : On the basis that 1935-39 costs equal 100, Canada's index jumped from 135.9 in July 1947, to 146 in December and 154.3 in June, 1948. In the United States the rise was from 158.4 to 167 and then to 171.7 for the three dates. In both these cases the rise in the most recent period was smatler than in the preceding six months. In Britain,' however, this was rever- sed. With 100 representing living costs in June, 1947, the increases | were from 101 in July, 1947, to 104 | in December and 110 in June, 1948. In the Canadian wholesale ptice index, unlike the cost of living in- dex, 100 represents 1926 prices. In July, 1947, this index stood at 129.1, By 'December it had risen to 143.5 and by the fallowing June had jumped again to 151.9. value of bank premises is shown at $5,803,570: Shareholders are advised that the annual meeting will be held at M.P.s Differ In Attitude On System By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Nov. 24--(CP)--Should Canada change her federal voting Members of Parliament are split, but among those answering a Canadian Press questionnaire the single transferable vote got a bare nod over the present method. Aim of the single transferable vote is to prevent election of a candidate on a minority vote. The present system allows a candidate to be elected in, say, a three-way fight with only 34 per cent of the total vote. ' The single = transferable vote figures to get around that situa- tion this way: In multiple contests, the elector marks first, second, third and fourth choices, to the number that there are candidates. If on. the first count no one has an absolute majority, there is a second count. The tail-end candidate is dropped, and the other choices on his bal- lot are assigned among the survi- vors. This process goes on until one candidate comes up with a clear majority, or until the transfers have been exhausted. A form of the single transferable vote has been used in Alberta provincial elections since 1926 and in Manitoba since 1927. But some authorities here say the Alberta-Manitoba system can-- and often does--defeat the purpose of the transferable vote. In those provinces, the voters are not required to list preferences be- yond the first. A valid ballot need cnly show a first choice; after that, the elector can indicate subsequent preferences: for any, all or none of the other candidates. This opens the way for "plump- ing"--voting only for a first choice. And, say federal 'authorities, plumping can bring about two re- sults: -- 1. Election of minority candidates. 2. Election, as a rule, of the con- testant in the lead on the first ballot. Where these developments take place, they reduce the transferable systenr in effect to that of the or- thodox one-vote-to-an-elector me- thod. Australia has a more rigid single transferable vote system. There, electors must list choices for all candidates or the ballot is spoiled. That of course, eliminates min- ority election. Also, records show that the candidate leading on first- choice votes is defeated more often on the subsequent counts. Here is the breakdown of opinion by the 83 out of 245 members of parliament who answered The Can. adian Press questionnaire: The present system for dominion elections is favored by 36; single transferable vote, 37; proportional representation with all seats multi- ple-member, 2; a combination of the single transferable vote and proportional representation, 4; no opinion, 4. The choice by parties: Liberal (30)--Existing system, 18; transferable vote, 9; transferable- proportional combination, 1; no opinion 2. Progressive Conservative (34)-- existing system, 11; transferable vote, 22; no opinion, 1. C.CF. (9) --Existing system, 6; proportional representation, 2; no opinion, 1. Social Credit (6)--Existing sys- tem, 1; transferable vote, 2; trans- ferable-proportional combination, 3.

In the tentative arrange- ments of last year, it was estimated that the island's entry into Con- federation would cause an addition- al drain of '$15,000,000 a year on the Federal treasury. Since the negotiations were re- opened last month, the Newfound- land delegation has been abiz to amount to little more than $7,000,- 000 a year. In the original terms, it was esti- mated that, as a province, New- foundland could raise $9,600,000 in revenue and would spend about $14,500,000 for provincial services leaving a deficit of $4,900,000 an- nually. show that the federal deficit will | Newfoundland, Canada Revise Financial Term \ | In the current negotiations, | Newfoundland presented budgets !covering estimated revenues ari | Sxpendiiares for the first cigha years of 'union.

As a result of discuss®ns, that |average deficit now has been cul {to $3,500,000 a year, and it is ex- j pected that Newfoundland will be able to fill this gap through tie im- {position of a provincial gasoline tax and possibly a sales tax.

Canada Must Prepare For 'Rainy Day' Ottawa, Nov. 24 -- (CP) -- Fi- nance Minister Abbott believes Can- ada, like her individual citizens, muss realize the importance of put- li something aside for a "rainy ay." _ "I may be old-fashioned," he said in a_ speech before the Canadian Tax Foundation Tuesday night, "but I hold the view that it is just as important for the nation as for the individual to put something away for the rainy day..." He said the way the governments can do this is by paying off debt and referred to the $17,000,000,000 national debt which Canada has built up mainl as a result of the Wars. Mr. Abbott, who is heading to- wards his third successive surplus, made it clear to the that he would not disclose any bud- get secrets, and added: "In budget matters, it is particu- lowed which carry the gener] sup- port of the people as a whole! This, I think, is as it should be in a democracy." But, he noted, it is undesirable to have unduly frequent or drastic changes in tax rates unless ezo- nomic reasons make them neces- It is very difficult to obtain wide- spread public acceptance cf or en- thusiasm for a level of taxation appropriate to gocd times--"A level of rates that will tend to restrain inflationary influences and to pro- duce substantial surpluses with which can be made in the retirement of the public debt," he said. ¢ The cyclical philosophy, he said, has been opposed on the following grounds: 1. Some individuals and business concerns want reascnable stability in tax rates to plan their affairs without féar of too much disturb- ance by fiscal authorities. 2. Frequent and drastic changes create inventory problems. The Finance Minister answered another doctrine, which urged that taxes be set to provide for a bal- anced budget and a.surplus, with the 'remark he was sure, the pub- lic would demand that in times of depression the tax system should be used not to aggravate bub to minimize the deflationary economic forces that are at work. As to the national debt, unless surpluses were built up in times of prosperity, the debt would go on increasing.
