SKATING CLUB ICE FROLICS TO BE NEW AND DIFFERENT The audiences at the Oshawa Skating Club carnival,' on March 27 and 28, will see something new and different when 300 junior and senior skaters take part in the Ea - "Persian Market" numbet. Mr. and Mrs. W. Distelmeyer, the club pro- fessionals, have had previcus- ex- perience with this number and, given a good group of skaters to work with, have a well trained vehicle to present. With jugglers snake charmers, merchants, beg- gars, scarf dancers, a prince and a princess together with the colorful costuming will produce all the at- mosphere of an eastern market, Here is shown a group of the skat- ers of the snake charmer cast. © "REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT By MICHAEL STARR We are now in the midst of the budget debate and every member in the House of Commons, particularly the members of the three opposi- tion groups, the Progressive Con- servatives, the CCF and Social Credit, are availing themselves of the opportunity of pointing out to the government the faults of the budget, as far as it reflects on the low income bracket earner. MAJORITY NOT HELPED There is no doubt now that the majority of the people have not benefitted to any great extent but have been handed the few and very small benefits. The very glar- ing concession is the one where the person deriving an income through dividends of the monies invested in the Canadian corporation to the amount of $9,600 has been elimina- ted from the income tax bracket and pays no tax whatsoever. One of the Progressive Conservative members has termed this buddet as the "Sunset Budget." As far as the farmers are concerned they are in the same category of low wage earners and, therefore, have very little to gain from the budget in rellef from taxation. A great deal of debate has been centered on the government's at- tempts to extend the Emergency Powers Act. This act gives the cab- inet of the government the power to pass legislation at - any time without coming to Parliament for . The members of the op- position are protesting this exten- sion of the Emergency Powers Act and argue that it virtually gives the cabinet the power of dictator- ship, and that the oircumstances at the present do not warrant any extension of this Act. finy INSURANCE BENEFITS A matter in regard to the sup- plementary unemployment insur- ance benefits has been brought to my attenti by Malcolm Smith, the sresigght of Local 222, UAWA. The benefits of unemployment in- surance were increased in July, 1952 and prior to that the supple- mentary benefits were 80 per cent of the total benefits. When these benefits were increased, the in- creases included only the five high- est categories but the two lowest remained the.same. The supple- mentary benefits, however, remain- ed the same, that is 80 per cent of the old benefits. This seems quite unfair and in opinion the supplementary benefits- should have been increas- ed as well. However, I am convinced that the whole Unemployment In- surance Act should be revised and amended in order to bring it more up-to-date and in line with the present conditions. I expect to take part in the budget debate before it ends and will endeavor to point out to the government some of the matters that I feel should have been taken care of and included in the Budget. : There is a privilege in the House of Commons that any member who requires information, may place the question on the order paper and various Ministers, 'depending upon whose - department is concerned with the question, produce the in- formation. Recently there have been various questions placed on the order paper requesting infor- mation on expenditures -in various departments of the 2:my services. The government has flatly refused to give any answers. One begins to wonder, "What are they hiding?" BEHIND THE BARN DOOR By T. GRACCHUS Jimmy Gardiner seems to be winning out in the war of attri- tion being waged with the packers over butter, if he can spread gov- ernment owned supplies over the next two months, he will all have some to spread on our breakfast toast at a reasonable price. "Ersatz" ice-cream made from getable oils instead of cream is practically indistinguishable from the real stuff we found when we tried it the other day. Last year Canadians ate about 150 million gallons of ice-cream containing about 15 million lbs of butterfat, made from over 400,000,~ 000 lbs of milk. The incorporation of the Cana- dian Co-operative Credit Society, the legislation for which was fore- cast in the Speech from the Throne at Ottawa, will give a great boost to the Co-op movement in Canada. Canadian National Income in- creased from $17,284 million in 1951 to $18,307 million in 1952; wages, salaries and supplementary labour income gained almost 12 percent, climbing from $9,732 millicn in 1951 to $10,855 million in 1952. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics "Accrued net income of farm operators from farm production declined by $255 million in 1952, a drop of 12 percent from the record level established im 1951." Maybe farmers should hire some labour leaders to look after their affairs. Dairy farmers will have to work out a plan along the line of one proposed by E. M. Biggs, Dairy Commissioner for Ontario. Mr. Biggs, Dairy Commissioner for On- tario. Mr. Biggs told the Ontario Whole Milk Producers that "too much milk is going into the wrong channel, at the wrong time, at the wrong price." He. recommended a mils producers marketing agency, zoning of the province and pooling of all milk; he advised farmers COMING EVENTS RUMMAGE SALE, ST.

It might be a good idea to make it compulsory for all paid farm workers. All too often a man has an accident and loses all his savings paying for hospitalization and medical expenses. The net hauling costs on the Pickering Co-op truck were 19% cents per can of milk in 1952, com» paring favourably with the offic! rate of 20 cents per can in ti same zone. Eastern farmers in their confer- ence prior to .the Annual Conven- tion of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Victoria decided to support their Western colleagues in their demand that the Wheat Board be the sole agency for sell- ing coarse grains on behalf of the Western producers, with two con- ditions attached: 1. that the specu- lative market for coarse grains be eliminated; 2. that Eastern feeder interests be protected by the Board keeping a reasonable feed grain re- serve in Eastern position for the winter all-rail season. After a very frank discussion in the C.F.A. convention and delibera- tions of its board of directors, it was unanimously agreed to appoint a committee, consisting of four Eastern and four Western mem- bers with Dr. Hannam as chairman. This committee will meet with the in Winnipeg to work out a plan forthe marketing of coarse grains to the advantage of both the feeder any the producer. - BIRTHDAYS 1a ti Aed Congr are ext to the following readers of the Times-Gazeltte who are cele- brating their birthdays today; William Johnston, 853 Simcoe Street S.

Moore, The charge was dropped because the boy had given his age as 17 and court proceedings were opened under that impression. Five other young men, charged with being found-ins, were freed when the magistrate said he could not admit a statement given to police by one of them. He said the police chief had read clauses in the Criminal Code which might have been construed as a threat. Magistrate Moore criticized the mother of the 15-year-old for ac- jcepting money from him, even if he did say he was the winner and was not taking any rakeoff. Cobourg To Have Woman Lawyer COBOURG, Ont. (CP) -- Mrs. Daisy McCullagh, at 38, wants to become this town's first woman lawyer. That's well in line with her past activities which have seen her serving at various times as presi- dent, secretary, and holding other offices in women's groups of this community, Now she's attending law lectures at Osgoode Hall, Toronto. Her daughters, aged 15 and 17, live in their Cobourg apartment while she's away during the week. Mrs. McCullagh says the sur- prising thing is not that she is working towards a law career at her stage in life, but that she has a husband "who will let me." Mr. McCullagh has an insurance agency here. ™~ "Combining a career with fam- ily life is easy when there's co- operation on both sides,' she says. REGIMENT ORDERS DAILY ORDERS PART I y Lt.-Col. A, G.

Tickets are available from any member of the choir; Church Conducts Visit Program A "neighbor to neighbor" visiting program is being conducted tdday by the Seventh-day Adventist church in a move to extend its community welfare services. Main purpose of the visits will be to learn what needs exist, either in the homes visited or in other homes to which members may be directed. L. W. Taylor, director of the Ad- ventist welfare society, told par- ticipating workers this morning that there are even hardship cases in the community that never come to the attenion of welfare groups because of individual pride or lack of knowledge of facilities that are available. "The church is obligated to give physical help along with the spiri- tual wherever it is needed," he said. Some 10,000 other Adventist con- gregations are conducting similar drives this weelk. Hk Welfare work of the church in Oshawa amounted to approximately $1100. today for 1953. There were over 300 persons aided.

The pin is emblema- "SAFE DRIVING HABITS REWARDED GM Truck Driver Safety Award tic of 20 years of gccident-free driving. His achivement is all the more notable when it is remember- ed that one minor accident, 'no matter where the driver is to blame or not, can wipe out his years of effort, --G.M. Staff Photo More than 200 people saw a film show with a difference in Oshawa last night. Movies collected from all over the world were shown in the second annual film festival of the Oshawa Film Council and the varied bill attracted the council's largest audience in its six years work. Charles H. Dowton, president of the council, welcomed the audience. He explained that it was the coun- ¢il's aim to promote the advance ment of visual education. "The films we bring here are of the right type for the good of the education of the people --both adults and school children. It gives the citizens a good idea of what films are available in that line," said Mr. Dowtan. Last night's show, which lasted | nearly three hours, was a verit- able feast of colored film master- pieces. The council secured the now famous color film which was screened beneath the Great Bar- rier Reef off Australia. The fan- tastic life of the fish, coral polyps, anenomes and turtles flashed across the screen in what is re- cognised as a 30 minue master- piece. It was immediately followed by a movie that was brought back by the council to meet the popular demand. The film showed, in mag- nificent color, all the pageantry | and magnificence of the trooping | of the colors at the Horse Guards | Parade in London before the late | King George VI. They were only two films in an | outstanding program. The spell bound audience was taken croco- dile hunting with the Australian Dial 3-2233. aborigines, to school with the 160,- | 12 KING ST.

Louis Breithaupt will person- ally pin on each of the drivers a safety award medal awarded by the league which has made a care- ful annual check on the record of each of the drivers. Winning of this medal is made more remarkable by reason of the fact that one accident of any kind, no matter whether it was the fault of the driver or not, could wipe out any chances of receiving the award. Mr. Reid, who lives at 10 Trick Avenue, is one of 38 General Mot- ors drivers, 32 of whom are to be iven awards by the company at a later date. Records of the 32 range from one to 20 years without an accident. The investiture took place in the Lieutenant - Governor's suite at Queen's Park. Official concern ov- er the mounting toll of death and injury by traffic accidents in On- tario is one reason for the fact that interest is being focussed on today's ceremony.

Ash, Ontario Safe- ty League president, in announcing the investiture: '"The mem whom we will honor next Saturday have driven on our streets and highways day after day, in good weather and bad, and by day and by night. Yet they have shown that through skill, courtesy and patience, traf- fic accidents can be avoided. There are undoubtedly many people living normal lives today who would have suffered death or in- jury if these men and others like them had been less careful and considerate." "The Church' Final Talk Lent Series Rev. R. J. Scott of Whitby gave the final address in the Lenten Series at Northminster United Church. His subject was: "The Church." Recalling experiences in the Church of his boyhood he com- mented on the grand fellowship which is an important part of the Church's function. The beginning of the Christian Church was traced, by discussion, to the fellowship of Jesus with His first disciples; to the meeting in the Upper Room; and the Pentecost experience when a new power and direction of the Holy of the other films, the United Na- tions showed a thought-provoking screen entitled '"This is the chal- lenge."

Speaking of the Church's purpose Mr. Scott led us to the conclusion that the Church seeks the redemp- tion of the fallen, always under the appointment of Jesus to "Go ye into all the world"; seeks the "abundant life" for each indivi- dual; and seeks to provide a fel- lowship in worship and work. The service of worship sends us out to service for men. the highest serv- ice to men is that of giving them an adequate idea of God and in- timate relationship with Him; and that will have the consequence of being supplemented by material | ministry. The Church must ever {have in mind those evils in society {that must be combated if man is to have abundant life. The Church is a God-centred fellowship of men and women com- mitted to true stewardship. A. W. Morrow led the worship {Service with J. C. B. MacMillan | giving leadership in the song serv- ice.
