Staff Party Enjoyed At Flying ( Club On Monday evening, December 20th, about 30 employees of the Oshawa and Whitby Brewers' Retail Stores along with their wives and friends, gathered at the Oshawa Flying Club Community Hall, for a social evening, which included a chicken dinner, a program of en- tertainment, and three hours of dancing. After a sumptuous dinner, Mr. E. A. Donald, manager of the Oshawa and Whitby Stores, welcomed and introduced the guests from Port Hope. Entering into the spirit of the gala occasion, Mr. Donald, after telling an excellent story, said that he would refrain from making a long speech, and that he simply wanted everyone to enjoy them- selves throughout the evening. At this point, Joe Drapak, on be- half of the employees of the Osh- awa and Whitby Stores, presented Mr. Donald with a cane, as a token of their high esteem for him. Mr. Donald, in accepting this gift from his staff, said that he appre- ciated greatly the loyalty of his em- ployees and that the lengthy ser- vice of some of them was a true expression of the good will that prevailed. At the conclusion of the banquet, Harold Godfrey, master of cere- monies, led ip community singing. A program of .entertainment fea- turing the Godfrey group of enter- tainers then followed, a program which included singing, step-danc- ing, etc. Comedy numbers in. syn- chronization, by Clifford Gardiner, guest artist, were particularly en- joyed by all. Lucille Lyons of the Whitby store rendered a number of solos, including "I'm Dreaming of a 'White Christmas." The program of entertainment concluded with Pol- ish dances by eight girls of the Oshawa and Whitby district. The floor was then cleared for dancing and for three hours young apd old alike enjoyed an evening of dancing or bowling. The guests from Port Hope in- cluded Mr. and Mrs, John Mitchell, Miss Hilda Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. N. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. R.

ERHRAIM G. HALLMAN Matilda Clemens, wife of Eph- raim G. Hallman, died very sudden- ly. this morning at her home in Roseville, Ontario. She was in her Tith year. Although exact details are not available, Mrs. Hallman's death is believed to have been due to a heart condition. A life-long t of Roseville, where she was ed in October, 1804, Mrs. Hallman had been an active worker in the Evangelical Church and a member of several church organizations. She was for many years a Sunday School in- structor, and was a member of the Missionary Circle. Surviving are one sister, Mrs. John Bricker (Julina) of Greenville, Michigan, and one daughter, Mrs, Earl Stauffer of Oshawa. There are six grandchildren, and three great- grandchildren. Although the funeral arrange- menst have not yet been completed, it is understood that the service will be held on Monday next, De- cember 27, and that interment will be in the Roseville Cemetery. MRS. GEORGE E. BULL A resident of Oshawa for the past 44 years, Anna Gertrude Trumpour, beloved wife of George E. Bull, died in the Oshawa General Hospital on Wednesday, December 22, in her 74th year. Mrs, Bull had not been well for six months; but her death came suddenly. A daughter of the late Jacob Trumpour and Phoebe Bogard, the deceased was born at Adolphustown, Lennox County, on March 7, 1875. She was married at her birthplace in 1896 and prior to coming to Oshawa 44 years sgo, had lived at Stirling. Mrs. Bull was a member of Sim- coe Street United Church and was active in the work of the Ever Ready Bible Class and the Women's Auxiliary of the church. | Besides her husband, she is sur- vived by one brother, Mark Trum- pour, of Kingston. The funeral was held from the family residence, 404 Simcoe Street North, at 3.30 p.m. today, followed by interment in the Union Ceme- tery. Rev. J. K. Moffat conducted the services, assisted by Rev. J. 8S. I. Wilson. Sportrite Jr. Staff Holds Turkey Lunch Sportrite Junior Limited held a party yesterday afternoon. More than 50 employees, friends of the management and other guests gath- ered for a turkey and ham lunch with elaborate Christmas decora- tions, paper hats, novelties and gifts for everyoxe. President of the company, Max Rossman was not there, but he was represented by the Vice-President, E. H. Rossman. Also present were Secretary, M. Rosenberg and Treas- urer, W. Rosenberg. : Davis Weiser, manager of th Oshawa branch of the company and Office Manager, Cecil Walker were the hosts. Catharine Senyk who came to Oshawa from a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany two months ago thought the food and hospitality beyond compare. Another employee who had a good time was Clemen- tine Verheese, who came to Oshawa from Belgium a year ago. Guests included W. A. Wecker, President of General Motors; Tho- mas R. Elliott, Director Public Re-. lations, General Motors; Norval J. Willson, President Ontario Motor Sales; Mayor-elect Michael Starr, Mayor Frank N. McCallum and L. M. Souch, President of the Cham- ber of Commerce. Permit Sales (Continued from Page 1) would result in an unfair advantage over competitors. "It would at the same time defeat the number of United States dollars to be spent during the time for - which the quota has been issued. This would automatically result in a precious loss of Ameri- can dollars on the exchange which would normally be spent for the purchase of American coal and other commodities used by Cana- dians." Mr. Wilson suggested there were "rumors" circulating that 'blocks of import permits" were on sale in Toronto and Montreal and that if an importer "knew" the right man, he would have no difficulty in ar- ranging for the purchase of a syn- thetic import license. "Through information received, it was learned by our division that certain rumors suggested that blocks of textile quotas and citrus' fruit quotas were on sale in Montreal and Toronto," Mr. Wilson said. "As a result of this information, we discovered that if certain textile quotas were sold, more quotas for citrus fruits would be made avail- able through this illegal system." Mr. Wilson concluded his testi- mony by saying he had been in- formed through various sources that "synthetic quotas could be bought ifm officers in the Ottawa divi- sion." ~Roe was arrested by the RCMP several weeks ago. Evidence pro- duced at the two-day preMminary hearing was that he had accepted a sum of money from a Toronto fruit company for eliminating im- port-recording documents which normally would 'have gone to the Treasury Department.

All Canada In Festive Mood Today By The Canadian Press The volume of presents bought and the crowds of people travelling to celebrate indicate this Christmas will be one of the merriest in years. A Canadian Press cross-country survey taken as Christmas Eve approached found all Canada -in festive mood. Again this year, Canadians in Arctic outposts, on the mountains and the prairies, in the woodlands, the fishing villages, the mining towns and the cities will. have a chance to hear the King speak by radio at the close of the Christmas morning Empire broadcast. For many, the Christmas Day celebration will be ushered in by the beautiful and traditional re- ligious rites marking the anniver- sary» of the birth of Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. Carollers who toured the streets started the festivities in Quebec City and by their efforts raised money for the poor. Most of the snow which fell early in the week had disappeared by today in Toronto and other Southern Ontario communities but weather men made a guarded pre- diction of fresh flurries. Northern Ontario, of course, had all the snow it needed for a, white Christmas. Halifax, Saint John, N. B,, Mont- real, Winnipeg, Regina, Vancouver and other cities reported brightly- decorated business thoroughfares thronged with last-minute shoppers. Some Edmontonians had to look hard for a suitable Christmas tree. There were barely enough to meet the demgnd in the Alberta capital. Everywhere, travel facilities were jammed. ways, airlines and bus companies put on extra equipment. Private automobiles crowded streets and highways and police issued stern warnings against drunken driving. 400 New Cars (Continued from Page 1) pected to be recalled to the paint shop to try out the color combina- tion for the new models. The same procedure will be followed in the trim and hardware departments. Mr. Smith commented that indica- tions pointed to these bodies com- ing off the line early in the new year. Regarding the recall of 'senior men for general maintenance work, Mr. Smith said that during the past week the employment office had filled over 100. requisitions. Up to the present all men with 1912 to 1926 senjority have been looked after. It is anticipated there will be no more call for such work al- though there may be the odd man to be filled in. "The picture has also 'improved as regard truck line. production", said Mr. Smith. Production is to be "increased to 13 jobs an hour, an increase of eight per cent. over the present level. Lt is ex- pected this will mean an increase of eight per cent. in manpower, This will in turn bring about the absorption of senior paid-off men. "The company feels", Mr. Smith continued, that if the schedule of framing in the:body room is lived hy to that 400 new models will be off the assembly line by the end of January. This means that by the middle of January the production of thé new models will be well under way and that recalls will in- crease from then on. Times-Gazette Classified Ads Get ment. Good Results.

Ottawa Wins DVA And Others Assist Veteran To Regain Feet Fire Contest | Toronto, Dec. 24--(CP)--The Ot- tawa Fire Department won top listings over 500 Canadian entrants in the 1948 fire prevention week contest, it was announced yesterday by international judges of the Nt- tional Fire Prevention Association. Of the 174 Ontario municipal fire departments, 16 were listed among the 37 winners. Other municipalities in order of listing are: Galt, Kitchener; Keno- gami, Que.; Brantford; Malartic, D'Alma, Que.; Edmonton; Niagara Falls, Ont.; Kentville, N.S.; London, Ont.; Verdun, Que.; Montreal, Val- leyfield, Que.; Port Alfred, Que.; Brampton, Sarnia, Woodstock; La- chine, Westmount, Rouyn, Que.: Kenora; Matane, Que.; Point Claire, Que.; Preston; St. Georges Est, Que.; Kapuskasing; Iberville, Que.; 8t. Georges Ouest, Que. In the industrial section, three Canadian firms were among the first 15 winners in Canada and the United States. The Aluminum Com- pany of Canada, Arvida, Que., took third place while Searle Grain Company of Canada and Great Lakes Lumber and Shipping Ltd. both in Fort William, received 10th and 14th positions. Pole Location (Continued trom Page 1) agreements made years ago have the right of way in setting their poles close tor Ritson Road while the P.U.C's pole line is set back among the trees. "In future there should be pro- visions made so that the P.U.C. gets the choice pole positions," Mayor Frank N. MeCallum declared. "It is silly to have private companies holding the choice positions to the detriment of the city as a whole." Commissioner William = Boddy's motion that City Council appoint a committee to meet with the com- mission to determine the question of pole rights on Ritson Road was passed unanimously. It is hoped that some arrangement will be refched with one of thé companies to allow the P.U.C. to set up new lighting standards on choice loca- tions, allowing 'the 'company to hook' onto the poles. The Commission was informed by Mr. Shreve that during the past year the Waterworks Department had made 1499 installations, 850 in the city and 640 in the rural area. Installations made in the city were: Electric water heaters, 278; flat rate water heaters, 282; water connections, 280. In the rural area the figures were: electric water heaters, 381; flat rate water heat- ers, 108; water connections, 160. Christmas, this year, will find Williarth Ayres of the Veterans' Housing area, Bloor Street East standing on his own two feet; one of flesh and blood, the other of light metal, wood and leather. And be- cause of his determination to stand by his own efforts, he does not stand alone. Many hands have reached out to help him, Ayers who came unscathed through much of the European campaign of the last war, lost his left leg in a losing battle with a rare fungoid disease, blastomycosis. A carpenter by trade, he is a small- holder under the Veterans' ' Land Act. He and his wife were bitterly afraid they might lose their home. when his illness made it impossible to meet the payments. A year's work was lost and it seemed as though the Ayers' future was irre- parably wrecked by hospital bills and the seemingly endless expenses of sickness. + D.V.AA. Great Help Fortunately, the departments of governmental administration are composed of human beings. When Ayers' situation became known, the Department of Veterans' Affairs went into speedy action. Ayers was transferred from the Oshawa hos- pital to Sunnybrook Hospital in To- tonto. A special section of the reg- ulations as invoked to pay his bill in the Oshawa hospital. He was treated and saved from probable death, though his left leg had to be amputated, without cost to him. A rugged constitution and an even more rugged spirit, plus the best of nursing care, defeated a dis- ease that claims 75 per cent of its victims. And when Ayers. was able to go home, an artificial leg was built for him. Now, at Christmas, he is learning to use it. While her husband was in hospi- |.» tal, Mrs. Ayers was expecting their second child. With as much spirit and determination as her husband, she tended the garden on their holding at the southeastern corner of Oshawa. From it she obtained enough vegetables to reduce, sub- stantially, the food costs for the whole family. A DVA worker kept in touch with Mrs. Ayres, and made arrange- ments with East Whitby Township officers to provide adequate medi- cal care when her baby arrived. Meantime, a grant from the Army Benevolent Fund had wiped off out- standing surgical fees incurred by hér husband's sickness. The DVA worker, too, suggested that Mrs. Ayres might be able to obtain a little ready money by rent- ing a vacant room in "her Home. There was no furniture in the room, but the DVA representative Hix tat. The department. pul up | the held ever since with the ex- |$50, and got in touci with a To- {ronto furniture dealer, himself an |aviator in the First World War, |The Toronto man sent along more than $100 worth of furniture, mak- {Inga gift of the value he provided lover and above the DVA grant. | Income from the rented room kept |the Ayres family going until Bill | Ayres could start earning again. Payments Extended The VLA administration set the Ayres' fears of losing their home at rest. Payments were extended over a longer period, and an ar- rangement was made which gave Ayres every opportunity of meeting his obligations. > Ayres went to work as soon as he could. Unable to work as a house carpenter, he built up a small busi- ness filing saws. The Casualty Re- habilitation people tried to ~ find other jobs for him, in keeping with his idea that he would be well worth his wages as a factory car- penter. But times, in Oshawa, are a bit dull, just now. But Bill Ayres didn't depend sole- ly upon the efforts of the "Rehab" people to get work for him. In be- tween filing saws, he managed to assemble a bit of machinery, and now he's gone into business for himself, building sash in the base- ment of his home, Bill Ayres isn't kidding himself that he has an easy row to hoe. But 'his view is something akin to that voiced by Winston Churchill during the war that Bill Ayres helped to fight. Churchill said: "Give us the tools, and we'll finish the job." Bill Ayres says: "All I need, now, is a reasonably good job. I'll see to the rest. . .." Longer Term (Continuéq from Page 1) said it was designed to bring as- sessments in line with higher pro- perty values. . The Toronto Labor Council (C.C. L.) has approved a slate of eight aldermanic candidates, but has withheld support from Mr. Smith, two. Communist aldetman and an- other Communist candidate, Dewar Ferguson, a former alderman and an official of the Canadian Sea- men's Union (T.L.C.. The two Communists on the council, Norman Freed and Charles Sims, have been aldermen since 1944. Mayor McCallum and the present Board of Control support the two- year term, claiming it will save $60,000 a year--the cost of annual elections--and guarantee an ex- perienced ¢ity administration. Post Office Here "All Cleaned Up" By literally super-human efforts, the staff of the Oshawa Post Of- fice were able to report that they were all caught up with the Christ mas mail rush by Thursday evening --truly a remarkable feat. The sor- tation tables in the Post Office an- nex this 'morning were empty and all letters received in the city, even those arriving in today's noon train --which was an hour late--will be delivered today. Although the situ- ation in the parcel department is not quite so clear, Oshawa Post- master N. J. Moran reported that he expects all parcels received up to noon today to be delivered in this afternoon's mail. After two record-breaking days, on each of which the Post Office here handled over 120,000 letters, this achievement certainly deserves a cheer and a vote of thanks. The "posties' work their feet off, often for 12 hours a day or more, in the Christmas season. Pope Appeals For Peace Vatican City, Dec. 24 -- (AP) -- Pope Pius said in a Christhas mes- sage to the World today that the year 1948, after opening with hope, appears ending upon. a "precipice of anxiety." Once again--on the eve of Chris- tendom's commemoration of the birth of its Prince of Peace, The Pope appealed for peace. It was the 10th time the present pontiff has given a Christmas mes- sage to the world» The Pope spoke in reply to Christ- mas greetings offered him by the Sacred College of Cardinals. As in the past, he addressed his words to the world at large. The year 1948, he said, appeared at first to be one that would lead to reconstruction and "true peace." But this hope had not been realized. Moral strength, the Pope said, is necessary if the world is to advance with firm step towards peace. Also necessary is the "courage to look truth in the eye." He said 1948 appears today to be a crucial point. Yet 1948, despite its anxieties, had not been entirely barren of "rich and encouraging events'--of vis- ible fruits. Among these the pontiff cited the resistance of people against having new wars thrust upon them, and many religious services of the year. The Pope urged upon Roman Catholics two duties: 1. Faith in the "patrimony of truth" Christ gave the world. 2. Conscientious fulfilment of the "precept of justice and love ... a necessary presupposition for the triumph of the earth of a social or- der worthy of the Divine King of Peace." Two Brougham Firemen Retire Two members of. the Brougham Fire Brigade, Ralph Miller, and E. E. Annis, have retired, after twenty-five years service with the organization. Messrs. Miller and Annis were two of the original members, when the equipment con- sisted "of little more than a bucket brigade. The organization meeting twenty-five years ago, was held in the Feasby garage, now the Mairs Hardware. Mr. Annis was elected Chief of the initial meeting, a 'position he A ception of a couple of terms as deputy. Mr. Miller was one of the first directors of the Brigade, and has been president for a number of terms. ~ Of the one hundred and five fires, the Brigade has fought dur- ing the tenure of office of these two men, Mr. Annis told the Tri- bune that he had attended ninety- four. The retiring Chief could recall no casualties among the members in the twenty-five years. Succeed- irg these two men who have servs ed the village for a quarter cen- tury, are D. L. Mairs as president, and Ed Jones, chief. Lipstick, Not Blood Say Police Toronto, Dec. 24--(CP) -- Marks found on a coat belonging to the missing Sirkka Koivu were identi- fied late Thursday as lipstick, not blood. Police earlier ordered examina- tion of the stains on the coat in their hunt for clues to the fate of the 23-year-old dressmaker who disappeared two weeks ago. The coat was found on a riverbank but police said they were convinced its presence there did not indicate th girl was drowned. : . Investigators Thursday learned from friends of the girl that she read avidly the newspaper accounts last month of the disappearance of a Toronto University student who was found a few days later in Otta- wa, The friends quoted Miss Koivu as saying then. "I'd like to disappear like that sometime." The last time the Finnish seam- stress was seen was 13 days ago when she rushed out of the house after receiving a brief telephone call from a man. Her family does not know who the call was from or where Sirkka went, but they fear she met foul play. About $4,000 in her name has been untouched in the bank. WANTED Morn Carriers for Globe and Mail - Routes Very good 'earnings Apply--F. McCammond Phone ~-- 2086-3 FRIDAY, DECEMBER '24; 1948 ; % : Court Allows Twolncreases In Rentals In premises shared by landlord and tenant the mere proof of in- compatability between the owner and the renter is sufficient to just ify the issuance of an eviction order against the tenant, Judge W. 8. Lane of Picton stated yes terday afternoon at a Rentals Court held in Oshawa's Legion Hall. In. two of the six cases tried eviction orders were issued on these grounds, while two cases were ad- journed and higher rentals were fixed for two properties. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Tripp and their two children were ordered to leave the house of John Topper, Elizabeth Street, Pickering, after evidence presented to the Rentals Court showed that Mr. Tripp was incompatible with the Topper fam- ily. The judge explained that in cases of shared accommodation, where there was not a separate entrance to the rented premises, incompatibility was sufficient to bring about an eviction order, whereas in cases of seperate en- trances a landlord must prove that the tenant is obnoxious. A similar verdict of incompate- ability was brought forth in the case of Henry Stevens versus ten- ant John R. Jackson, of 15 Hall Street, Oshawa. Testimony by Mr, and Mrs. Stevens showed that both Jackson and Mrs. Jackson had re- peatedly told members of the Steve ens family that they "could make as much noise as they liked" or "do whatever we wanted to." Allin F. Annis, K.C, acted for Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. In application for increased ren- tal, Hugh D. Logan, 281 Mothrsill Drive, Oshawa, was granted a ren- tal of $41 per month for premises occupied by Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Cory at the same address. The previous rent had been $36. Logan explained that the increased rent was caused by improved services which had been installed, includ- ing a hot-water furnace and sep- erate wiring systems. The new | rental was calculated on the basis of a fair return on Mr. Logan's investment in the improvements. A similar case brought by Hugh | B. Miles, 48 Park Road North, for increased rentals on three aparte ments which he had built by ree modelling an existing building, was undefended. Mr. Lane brought ine creases of $2 per month, $3 per month, and $5 per month re- spectively in the rentals of apart ents let to Mrs. Owens, Miss A. Milne, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mafley, all at 48 Park Road North. Decision was reserved in an ace tion brought by Mrs. Annie Philip, Pickering, against Max Watson, who was occupying a part of Mrs. Philip's house. Mrs. Philip testified that Watson had disturbed her on several oceasions by -having quar- rels when he was drinking, ale though there had been no such dise turbances in several months. Wate- son told the court that he had stopped drinking, and had not caused any disturbance since Sept- ember 18. = In giving his decision, Mr. Lane told Watson that, while his con- duct was sufficient to be classed as incompatible, it was not obnox- ious. However, he said, if the dis- turbances continued they could be classed as obnoxious and an evice tion order would be made.
