Sims, % tario County road engineer, e of Rotarian George Todd, reeve of Pickering Township, put over some facts from his depart- ment to interest citizens and rate- payers when he addressed the lo- cal Rotary club on Monday eve- nin, He first, with a map, reviewed the territory included in Ontario County which because of its being long and narrow was a difficult one to administer. There are 17 municipalities in all with 11 town- ships. This county is divided into five sections for administration purposes. There are 250 miles of county roads, 150 miles of which are paved and 177 bridges to look after. Things have been made very difficult this year for the en- gineers in all counties, by the Prov- slashing grants by 10 per cent. SNOW REMOVAL COSTLY Mr. Sims showed where over in- sistence on snow-plowing in winter made the maintainance of roads more costly than if the snow was allowed to stay and keep damaging frost out of the road surface. The claim is often made here that Pick- ering Township could maintain all roads here at a lower cost than is being done by the county but Mr. Sims satisfactorily proved that this could not be done. Mr. Sims is a young man but has a remarkably good grasp of the situation as to roads in Ontario County and gave the Rotary Club a great many facts and information regarding same.

Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle THE DAILY: TIMES-GAZETTE | OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 179 OSHAWA-WHITBY, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1953 PAGE THREE After 14 months in the bleak wilds and rocks of Korea Private Bob Pritchard, 634 Montrave Av- enue, is spending his days sleeping and nights enjoying himself back at home in Oshawa. His intention, he said, is to get broke the quick- of |€st way he can find. Over in Korea the Princess Pats had very little actual warfare ex- cept for ambush and raiding pat- rols. "We lived in bunkers 12 feet underground with six feet of cov- ering on top as protection from the shells. They were damp in winter and wonderful in summer." As for the weather Bob found = the summers with a constant 90 degree temperature a little too hot and the winters only chilly. He believes that the Communists have what they want out of the Korean war and so are willing to sign the truce. Another thought he has about the North Koreans whom he describes as sly was that they could quite probably re-invade South Korea any time after the Allies pull out. "I didn't think much of Rhee letting out the pris- oners. The troops were on order to look out for any communists try- ing to get back into North Korea and if war ever 'breaks out again there, it will probably be over the prisoners," he said. Before going over to Korea Bob Oshawa Soldier Saw Little Action was in training at camps in Cal- gary--where he didn't have a pass to see the stampede; in Vancouver --he's seen better mountains than the Rockies; in Waynwright, Ed- monton, Rivers, Manitoba; Camps Borden and Ipperwash, Calgary and then the Aleutians on his way to Japan and Korea. i! Korea he describes as wild and crude with its people not too civ- ilized while Japan is clean civil- ized and has wonderful friendly people. The Japanese seem to know through association with Am- erican servicemen just what the soldiers would like to eat in their lovely restaurants and taking off shoes in homes are two of the customs he particularly noted. "I didn't do any real front-line fighting although the third was sit- uated on the Hook and Hill 355 but I spent 23 days in a Japanese hospital with acute appendix. There were 50-60 Australian Nurs- es there--I never took one of them out, though," he added. Bob didn't bring home any sou- venirs because of a lost paybook which was worth somewhere about $600. The army, he expects, will get around to giving him his mon- ey in about six weeks but they appear to be in no hurry. Most of the returned soldier's friends have "got hooked'. By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP)--There are 30 tons of unclaimed war medals lying stored in New Zea- land government offices. The government wants to get rid of the medals, but Second World War veterans for whom they are intended have not applied for them. Veterans are being asked to wear the medals during the visit of the Queen to New Zealand at the end of the year, but so far only 60,000 of the 300,000 men and women en- titled to medals have picked up their awards. The chief trouble lies in the method of distribution. The govern- ment says it would be too big a job to go through the file of every- one who served in the forces, Gongs Go Begging In New Zealand work out the medals to which he is entitled, and locate his present address. Large numbers of veterans claim they are entitled to be sent the medals and should not have to "go cap in hand" to the government asking to be decorated. Many veteraps also object to the fact that the medals are not en- graved with the owners' names as was the case after the First World War. They claim that "anony- mous' medals are not worth col- lecting. Some of those who served for comparatively short periods in home service units also feel it would savor of 'heroics to fill in a form applying for medals. Other home servicemen do not even realize that they are entitled to awards. NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)--An industrial executive declared here today that loss of production, low- ering of workers morale and a high accident rate among problem drinkers were primary reasons for his company instituting an alco- holism treatment program. Henry A. Mielcarek, personnel director for Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. among the pioneers of alco- holism programs in industry de- tailed his company's plan at the industrial institute of the Yale centre of alcohol studies now in session here. "Surveys show that heavy and continually heavier drinking do not Firm Starts Program To Save Its Drunks begin to show seriously for as many as 10 years," said Mielcarek. "By this time the employee may have developed highly specialized skills and to lose such a worker is a definite loss to the company. "We prefer to rehabilitate the men with an alcoholic problem rather than fire him and hire a new untrained man who unknow- ingly may be a potential alcoholic," he added. David H. Meharg of the medical division of E. I. Dupont de Nem- ours and Company said the Du- pont program, in assocjation with alcoholics anonymous, 4s rehabili- tating , about 65 per cent of their problem drinkers. TORONTO (CP)--Ontario's in- dustrial barometer has been climb- ing during the last five years at a pace unequalled in 30 years, the economics and research branch of the provincial department of labor said this week. The five-year record of plant expansion has dwarfed all other provinces and has created 50 per cent of all new jobs opened in Canada since 1948. And the depart- ment estimates at least 9,000 more jobs will be available this year as the result of carryovers in indus- trial construction from 1952. 9,000 More Jobs Created In 1953 Toronto and surrounding area have reaped the greatest benefits from this tremendous growth in plant expansion. A survey by the Labor Gazette discloses that 66 per cent of the total employment increase of 44,- 500 in the last five years was ac- counted for by three industries: Transportation e q ui pment, iron and steel, and electrical appara- tus. There was also a rapid ex- pansion in the chemical and non- metallic mineral products indus- tries. One hundred Oshawa arranging a day camp for th nine to 12.

By KINGSLEY BROWN, Jr. Canadian Press Staff Writer SYDNEY, N. 8. (CP)--Nova-Sco- tia's coal industry is facing the most critical period of its 230-year history. Production is falling, mines are closing and markets dwindling. Its 11,000 miners are without a con- tract, and many are without work, That's not healthy for an indus- try that raises nearly a third of Canada's coal and supports a sixth of Nova Scotia's population. fhe Dominion Coal Company and its three subsidiaries, which mine 87 per cent of the province's coal, tink, however, they have a rem- edy. They're installing giant metallic miners that can do the work of sev- eral men and twice as fast, and big tunnels are being pushed under the sea to cut production costs. In three years they hope to pro- duce an industry smaller but more prosperous than the one today that is losing $4,000,000 annually. Harold Gordon, the company's general manag.r, has termed mechanization the key to the exist- ence of an industry that supports more than 100,000 persons. Behind this sombre picture, how- ever, there is a puzzle. Why, ob- servers ask, did the miners vote twice this month against signing a contract with the company, nowing that their livelihood de- ended on its prosperity Particularly after their union ex- ecutive told them that a vote for the contract was in the 'best in- terests" of the industry. The ex- ecutive's stand was in line with a conciliation board's recommenda- tion that the company and United Mine 'Workers (CC() waive their demands because of the industry's production and marketing prob- ems. the closure of the No. 24 mine at Glace Bay, was 3,557-t0-2,870 for a majority of 687 against signing the wage increases. The miners earlier asked for $3.26 daily increase to bring their basic rate to $13. District president Freeman Jen- kins, who after the July 7 refer- endum asked UMW headquarters ers to investigate his district and Thursday's vote, on the eve™of |b Miners Vote Down Own Livelihoods (make some recommendations, had {no comment on the outcome of | Thursday's referendum. | He told The Canadian Press { Thursday, however, that the mat- {ter would probably be taken up at | the district convention in the event | that the contract was turned down. | The convention is expected to be held in October. The company, meanwhile, has | announced that Stellarton's Albion mine, one of the -eldest in North | Americu, will close Aug. 15, after |the miners' vacation, and that the | working force at neighboring Thor- {burn would be reduced. The Albion {employs 100 men. Nearly 1,200 men have been idle in Glace Bay for a month while mechanical miners are being in- stalled in the big No. 1B col- liery, which extends six miles un- |der the Atlantic. The job is ex- {pected to last at least another two weeks. The Albion and No. 24 were or dered closed because their produc- tion no longer warranted their ex |istence. The miners have been un- |able to come within a ton ofthe | company's "break even" target of | 3.75 tons a man per day. To produce cheaper coal, the company hopes to have 20 of its Dosco Miners, as the machines are called, in operation before the | year's end. The tunnels, of which {one will be two miles long and | the other nearly ome, will slant {from a pit head to central loading points deep under the sea. The {coal will then be conveyed on an endless belt to the top. The tun- nels are expected to double out- put. The company produces about 5,- 500,000 tons. In three years, if more mines are not closed, it is ex- pected to be about 2,000,000 more. The Maritimes take 3,000,000 tons annually, and the rest goes to Que- ec and South America. Ontario took 1,000.000 tons until Nova Seco- tion could not provide it as cheap- ly as the United States The industry figures its next big { competitor will be gas in the Que- | bee market. { From the forest, the farmer | often obtains a goodly portion of "his annual cash revenue. - at - NAMED R.
