: Group Will Bring | Quality Artists Beginning its annual membership campaign on Monday, April 27, Oshawa Community Concert Assoc- jation emphasizes the quality of the artists it brings to this city by presenting for its closing concert of the season at the UAW Hall, Mar- Lipton, mezzo-soprano of the Detioptizan Opera on Wednesday, 1 29 Thus Oshawa gets a pre-view of a diva who will be appearing with her colleagues of the travelling Met in the Maple Leaf Gardens at To- ronto during the last week in May. This is the sixth year of opera- tions locally by Community Con- certs, which has brought such phen- omenal talent as Rose Bampton, dramatic soprano, Whittemore and Lowe, duo-pianists, the Saidenburg Symphony, San Roma, pianist, Bartlett and Robinson, duo-pianists, Igor Gorin, baritone, Tossy Spiva- kovsky, violinist, the Boyd-Neel Or- chestra, John Knight, pianist, the Jaroff Don Cossak Choir and Leo- pold Simoneau, tenor. Many subscribers have asked it was not possible to bring dance at- tractions here under the subscrip- tion plan, It must be pointed out that the stage at the UAW Hall is both too shallow and has a concrete surface quite unsuitable for dance presentations. Until the city has an adequate civic auditorium, Oshaw- ans will have to go outside the city to enjoy such entertainment. For the $6.00 membership which entitles the holder to four concerts next season, artists will likely be chosen from such masters of the violin as Gerhard Kander, Ossy Renardy, Erica Morini, Camilla Wicks and Caroll Glenn, such great voices as baritones George Lon- don, William Warfield, Cesare Spi, Theodor Uppman and Walter aCs- sel, sopranos, Frances Yeend, Carol Brice, Plerette Alarie, Pat- ricia Neway, Polyna Stoska and Dorothy Maynor; such fine pianists as the Casadesus team, father Rob- ert and son Jean, Paul Badura- Skoda, Clifford Curzon, Jorge Bolet and Samson Francois; and such comedy musicians as Alec Temp- leton and Oscar Levant, Whatever the panel of artists chosen for next season's concerts, members may be sure of hearing artists of high quality and profes- sional finish. Memberships may be obtained-during the coming weak at campaign headquarters, the Royal Bank at 27 Simcoe Street North. . Will Open Campaign | With Dinner Meeting ®inal details for the member- ship campaign of the Oshawa Com- munity Concert Association to be held beginning Tuesday, April 28, are completed, according to Judge F.

Rudubon Tour Lecture Draws Large Crowd A capacity audience greeted the last Audubon Screen Tour of the season presented by Tom and Arlene Hadley of Holly, Michigan, in the CCI Auditorium last night. Their subject was "America, the Beautiful," and the lovely 50 min- ute color film illustrating their 50,- 000 mile trek across the continent and back proved entrancing to the nature fans old and young in the audience. Oshawans, who have seen mighty d little snow in the winter just past, saw pictures of snow drifts eight feet deep after a South Dakota blizzard. Glimpses of the blue fast- nesses of Oregon and the coas range followed aerial views of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the rugged totems of underbird Park in Victoria, B.C. Eyes stretched up to the towering tops of the giant redwoods of California, and scann- ed the trackless deserts of Nevada and Texas, relieved only by cattle skull or a rolling tumble- weed. i The audience was talen through the swampy bayous of Louisiana and the Everglades of Florida, to see the wading egret, ibis, and crane and out along the Overseas Highway to Key West for a glimpse of the grotesquely pompous peli- cans and the frolickin, ises Up through the ag eal so the trek led into Quebec, with poetic views of Ottawa and Frontenac's ancient citadel. Then back to "home country" for the Hadleys, the Michigan waterways, where they recorded an amazing assort- ment of bird and animal sounds and finished the picture with the rainbow hues of autumn pagentry. While Mrs. Hadley operated the projector, her husband gave a folksy travelogue, spicked with homespun humor and gently philo- sophy. The talented duo were greeted by Trustee S. C. Saywell, representing the Board of Educa- tion which sponsors the series, and introduced by Mr. M. F. Kirkland, principal of OCVI. 3 Artists To Feature Lion Concert Three artists of note will be heard tonight in concert at the OCVI auditorium when the Oshawa Lions Sab presents i Spring Musicale.

McINTYRE HOOD Managing Editor The Times-Gazette (Article No. 3) PARIS, France (By Airmail)-- We came to Paris today, Harold Vaughan of Windsor and I, and found it in a happy, warm and smiling mood. We have just re- turned to our hotel room in the Hotel Scribe, formeriy the CNR hotel, after hving had lunch with Bob Farquharson, former manag- ing editor of The Globe and Mail and his wife Rica. Bob is now director of information for NATO with headquarters in Paris and Rica joined him here about two weeks ago. It was for them like a breath of home when we met with them after settling in our room, and the four of us enjoyed a typical French "dejeuner." IN SUNNY MOOD Paris today is in a sunny mood. Her tree-lined streets are already a mass of greenery, without av- enues of chestnut trees in blossom as well as cherry and flowering almond trees. Again, we are en- joying a rapid change from the cold and snow which we left be- hind at Goose Bay, Lbrador, yes- terday (Friday) afternoon. Our departure from Goose Bay, by TCA North Star, came at ex- actly 3 p.m. The snow, which kept us tied to that air force base for 14 hours, had ceased and the plane made a perfect take-off circled ov- er the waters of Lake Melville and its surrounding forest, and headed out over the Atlantic. We saw noth- ing of the ocean, however. We flew at an altitude of 17,000 feet, well above a deep blanket of clouds and that was all we saw. Sunset above the cloud bank was a glor- fous picture and then darkness closed in on us, a thick dense pall of night through which our craft raced on its way eastward. At exactly four o'clock, Irish time, we came down at Shannon airport, Ireland, to greet the grey dawn. The soft Irish accent of a receptionist, attired in green uni- form with a jaunty green cap, brought our initial notice that we were in a new country. As we left the plane and went to the main airport building for an hour's rest, Harold Vaughan was amazed at the wealth and beauty of tulips, wallflower and other spring flow- ers in the beds around the build- ings. They were in full bloom much earlier than at home. ' IRISH ENTERPRISING The airport at Shannon proved that the Irish are an enterprising people. Huge rooms were filled with products of Irish industry and handcrafts for sale to air travel- lers. American cigarettes of all kinds were on sale at $1.40 for a cartoon of 200 and Irish and other brands of liquor and liqueurs were sold at fantastically low prices as compared with Canada, but avail- able at these prices only for ex- port. Shannon, of course, is in the Irish Free State, or Eire, so we had to send off some post cards bearing Eirrean stamps. After an hour at Shannon we were again airborne, and saw noth- ing until two hours later we slip- | ped down through fog to Croydon | | airport on the outskirts of Lon- AIRPORT BUSY Croydon airport is a fascinating place. there is a continuous stream of large modern aircraft of many countries, particularly American, French, Dutch, German and Brit- ish, arriving and taking off, While we watched, one of the big new BOAC jet liners came in from South Africa. Croydon airport is a tremendous place, with long run- ways extending in all directions, and a constant rush of air traffic. Every few moments we heard soft English accented voices announce the departure of a flight.' An hour at Croydon, and we were off for Paris. For the first time, we rose into a cloudless sky so that we could see below us the pattern of English fields and the clusters of houses that marked lit- tle villages. We went over Surrey, the Sussex, and crossed the coast out over the English Channel, over Rye, and cleared the sharp prom- ontory of Dungeness. The channel was calm and lay sparkling in the sunshine with cargo boats heading westward. We flew straight south and came to France right over Dieppe, an ever-to-be remembered name to Canadians. We saw the shore and the streets where that bitter struggle took place about 10 years ago, in which so many of our boys were killed or captured. Then on to Paris, over French farm land showing a patchwork quilt of green and brown, until we saw below us the twin ribbons of the River Seine and at 10.40 a.m. Paris time made a perfect landing. DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE A delightful surprise awaited us at Paris, where we were met by Mr. Garneau of the Canadian Em- bassy and A. J. Gauthier, French director of Trans-Canada Airlines. They quickly saw us through im- migration and customs; told us where rooms had been reserved for us, and put us on a bus to take us into the city. The bus fare was 200 francs, about 60 cents in our money, and a taxi to the Hotel Scribe, prononced "Skreebe' cost about 45 cents. However, the usual | tip is a 100 franc note, equal to about 30 .cents. In a few moments we were settled in a lovely bed- sitting room suite, provided for us by the International Federation of Managing Editors. We had lunch with Bob and Rica Farquharson, and are now resting, with Harold Vaughan sound asleep. We have as yet seen little of Paris, but we did note the great array of lovely flowers in many places. The trees in full leaf, too, caught our attention. As we drove to the hotel, we could see that Paris is indeed a city of great loveliness, of the world's most reck- less car drivers and of busy people. Tomorrow we go on to Nice with the confederation and will enjoy all the proaeedings there with editors |from 47 other countries. Thus ended our chequered flight across the Atlantic, a flight which showed the great skill and con- summate ability of the many fine pilots who are in charge of the aircraft. Tonight, with Bob and Rica Far- guharson, we are going to see some of the sights of Paris, but that will be another story. Record Attendance At Jaycee Fair Like a miniature Canadian Na- tional Exhibition and just as scin- tillating, the Oshawa Jaycee's Home Builders and 'Home Furnishings Fair opened last night in the arena. It continues tonight and tomorrow. The fair was the biggest and best year. No available show space was left to waste as the majority of 16- cal firms set up interesting dis- plays. Dominating the centre of the fair was a white-sided model home completely furnished and attrac- tively finished, even to the scarlet geraniums growing outside. Winner of a draw made last night by Fair Chairman Roy Smith was Mrs. N. Petre, 106 Sutherland Ave- nue, Oshawa. Though not present, Mrs. Petre will be given a mer- chandise credit voucher worth $100, redeemable with any one of the exhibitors at the show. The fair was culmination of months of hard work and plan- ning on the part of the Jaycees. Public response plainly showed that Oshawa and district residents are interested in this specialized type of display, coming as it does at a time of year when thoughts turn to improving the home. It was a Opening marvelous illustration of what local ! industry and local merchants have to offer.

Henry S. Swabey, rector of Anglican lin, and his family, left by plane Wednesday for England to attend the funeral of his mother Edith Katherine Swabey, who passed away suddenly April 17. The funeral service was held to- day t St. Leonard's, Sussex, where Mrs. Swabey had been living in recent years. The news of her death was en- tirely unexpected as she had been in good health and had been pre- paring her newly acquired apart- ment to welcome her only son and family on their proposed month long visit in July. She was 71 and hor husband predeceased her in Although Rev. Swabey received the sad and sudden news of his mother's passing late Friday af- ternoon he went ahad with his part in a play presented at his other charge at St. Thomas Church, Brooklin a few hours later. He al- so conducted services at Brooklin | and Church of Ascension over the weekend.

THE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa' Times and Whitby Gezette and Chronicle VOL. 12--No. 96 OSHAWA-WHITBY, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1953 DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY PAGE THREE Judge Reserves Appeal Decision * BEHIND THE By ROBERT BARN-DOOR F. CLARKE We have read with great interest the thought-provoking Report from Parliament on agricultural matters by our local member of the federal House, Mr. Michael Starr. The more we read it, the more our thoughts were provoked. We heartily agree with Mr, Starr's opinion that the federal gov- ernment is to blame for the dis- appearance of our traditional Brit- ish markets for food products. Whe- ther Mr. Gardiner says they were '"'cancelled out" or 'lost'"" -- they are gone. This column, however, has al- ways maintained that the farmers could do the job themselves if they were given the necessary legisla- tion by the federal and provincial governments. If Danish or Swedish or Australian farmers can handle their products in inter - national trade through their own associa- tions, 'so can Canadians. ; Until such time as this legislation is on the books and the farmers marketing agencies are establish- ed, the federal government could easily resume trade negotiations with the British without spending a nickel, if it only wanted to. All that is needed is a telephone call to the office of the British High Commis- sioner in Ottawa. EXPLOSION? WHEN? Food prices are high at the con- | sumer level and low at the produc- er level. Who is to blame for it? | We read with great astonish- ment in the Report that the "theory" of blaming the "middle- man' has been '"'exploded". This must have happened quite recent- ly, because it is the first report of | |the explosion to reach our ears. .The Hon. Member for unuario will be hard put to it to substanti | assertion that "food distribution | and selling costs are no more than | they are for selling insurance or cars or hardware" and that "ac- tually they constitute a lower per- centage of the consumer price than in most other commodities." In fact the producer gets the | smallest share out of each dollar the housewife spends for food and by far the largest part goes to dis- tribution. TO WIT How little the farmer actually gets from the consumer's food dol- lar can be seen in the following column: Price Farmer's Share 10c 3c 3%e 3%c 24c¢ Commodity Milk Bread Canned corn Canned tomatoes Roastbeef, 1b. 55 Skim milk powder lb. 39¢ nothing Cabbage 1b. 5c 1c No automobile dealer has that wide a margin, no insurance agent | that large a commission. | The Ontario farmer realizes that the answer is not an increase of | food prices to the consumer, but e wonders why the consumer | should have to pay so much for milk and bread and meat ara ves- etables when the producer gets so little. The Ontario farmer believes that | consumer prices could and should come down and that then consump- ! tion would go up. | QUESTIONS | The Ontario farmer works hard | and produces as much as he can, at as little expense as he can. He has no control over his prices and has to take what he is told to take. | But he knows that as soon as his {product is out of his hands, too | many middlemen take too much out of it. He would like to know why he gets nothing out of the 39 cents the consumer has to pay at the store { for one pound of dried skim milk | powder. He would like to know why the i profits of the meat packers were the highest ever in 1952, when pro- ducer prices went down by almost 40 per cent, and why consumer | prices did not go down accordingly. | He would also like to know way | {he has to pay higher prices for his |farm implements when the share of wages and salaries in the farm machinery dollar has gone down. THE ANSWER , The hon. member for Ontario sits on the wrong side of the House | in Ottawa and what he says will not | | carry much weight with the federal | government. But it so happens that the party |to which the hon. member be- !longs forms the government in the Province of Ontario. Maybe he can exert some influence in Toronto and press for the appointment of a Royal Commission which could an- swer these--and other--questions which are on the minds of produc- ers and consumers. fo 4 GOING TO MIDLAND James Wilson, a former mem- ber of the Biltmore Theatre staff and more recently manag-. er of the Plaza Theatre, who has accepted a position as man- ager of the drive-in theatre at Midland. St. Catharines' Man Probes Real Estate OTTAWA (CP)--A St. Cathar- ines lawyer, Murton A. Seymour, has been appointed by Premier Frost of Ontario to investigate charges regarding real estate deals in Ottawa housing projects, it was learned Thursday. Nature of the charges, which have been made by Mayor Char- lotte Whitton, has not been made clear. They mainly concern real es- tate dealings in the Manor Park area at Ottawa's eastern out- skirts. pnd It was understood here that Mr. Seymour will investigate all as- pects of the Manor Park hous- ing area and all other recent hous- ing developments in the capital area.

J. Mac- Rae on an appeal by John Fialka, 303 Ritson Road South, Oshawa, which was presented by Peter Slaght, QC, Toron- to barrister. Fialka was convicted of bootlegging by Magis- trate F. S. Ebbs on March 23 and sentenced to three months in jail. Alex C. Hall, QC, appeared for the Crown. Although Judge MacRae said he ® would have quashed the appeal in' respect to the evidence alone, since there was sufficient to con- viet, Mr. Slaght also advanced ar- guments contesting Section 3, sub- section 1 of the summary ccnvie- tions act to the effect that the ma~istrate had no jurisd:ction ev- en to try the case and it was on his constitution~!. issv~ that His Honor withheld judgment, The two chief points of argument in the appeal from Fialka's ccnvic- tion on selling liquor illegally were" An error in fact finding by the magistrate in arriving at the convic- | tion in thet the magistrate said tha* the Crown witness, Hubert Peyton of Whitby bought "this" bottle of liquor from Fialka whereas the evidence did not establish that the bottle exhibited was the same bottle al- legedly purchased and secondly that the evidence of Peyton (an accom- nlica by reasons of several previous convictions on charges involving liquor) was corroborated by the evi. dence of his wife. It was not really corroboration, Mr. Slaght argued, because it was not corroborating any established fact. Evidence in the case was that on Sunday night, November 2, 1952, Peyton, (who was afterwards fined for .illegal possession before he turned Crown witness,) went to Fialka's home. There, he testified, | he purchased a 'made-up' mickey of liqucr for $3.25. While Peyton was in the house, Detective-Sergeant McCammond drove up to watch the house. When Peyton came out, he mistook the police car for his own. Then he went to his own car and when getting in, a bottle was thrown away. The police approach- ed and recovered the bottle of liquor. Mr. Hall contended that there is no statutory need for corrobora- tion even when the evidence is the evidence of an accomplice and al- though Judge MacRae expressed the thought that there might have been some ulterior motive in Pey- ton turning Crown witness, yet taking together all the facts of the case, His Honor had no doubt that the conviction should be upheld. RCR's Land At U.S. Port, Head Home SEATTLE (CP)--The biggest contingent of Canadian troops to return from the Far East arrived here Thursday aboard the navy transport Marine Lynx. Most of the 1,063 Canadians are members of the Royal Canadian Regiment's 1st battalion. On board also were 1,410 returning . United States troops. At the dockside the Canadian regiment's band played a favorite Japanese juke box tune as a final salute to the land the troops left behind. Then the Princess Patri- cias band from Calgary responded from the pier. The rival unit was accorded a chorus of good-natured boos from the RCR men at the ship's rail, which quickly changed to cheers as the band swung into the '"RCR March Past," the unit's own song. Brig. W. J. Megill, B.C. area commander, was on hand to wel- come the troops. He made his greeting a short one after one of the impatient home-bound soldiers drew laughter from his shipmates by yelling '"'that's enough' after Brig. Megill had opened with a cheery "welcome to Seattle." Most of the Canadians boarded a CONVENTION SPEAKER Rev.
