McIntyre Hood, Of | freadom in this land. Are we as Oshawa, managing editor of The Times-Gazette, guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Ajax Rot- ary Club on Thursday, gave a highly informative and thought- provoking address on the subject 'Freedom Our Sacred Heritage". Based on experiences in Europe in the spring of this year, while at- tending an international confer- ence of newspaper editors, Mr. Hood told some graphic stories of how people even in countries that were supposed to be democratic, were having their freedom curtail ed and destroyed. "As I look back over these ex- periences", said Mr. Hood. "I can- not nelp wondering whether our people in this country place a suf- ficiently high valuation on the large measure of freedom and personal liberty we enjoy, and which we. take for Saute, Free- dom is a great privilege and right which we demand and on which we insist and rightly so, but every right brings with is responsibilities and every privilege has its correspond- ing duties and obligations. We woul would be quick to resist any at- tempt at encroachment on our zealous in accepting and rischarg- ing our duties and responsibilities as citizens in a free democracy." Mr. Hood pointed to the fact that only 44 per cent of the electors of Ontario voted in the recent federal election as an indication that too low a valuation is placed on the franchise, one of the elements of free democracy. "If we are to make sure that freedom shall live in this and be maintained in other lands, it is es- sential and vital that we recognize how important it is to have an en- lightened populace, a people alive to its responsibilities, and recogniz- ing its sacred trust to maintain for itself and for those in the suc¢céed- ing generations that freedom, that liberty of thought, speech, con- science and action which is our heritage from the past, but which we are in peril of losing unless we are on guard against those forces which would destroy it." Roger Conant. Visitors to the lunchoen were John Balsdon and Stanley Balsdon of Pickering, Ray- mond Card, Toronto and Samuel Gitterman, Ottawa. Corp. Profits in U.S. Up 18 Pc. On Last Year By WALTER BREEDE Jr, NEW YORK (AP)--A fresh note of optimism was current in U.S. business circles this week. Contributing to it were several factors. One was the outstanding profit performance of top U.S. in- dustrial corporations 'as reflected in third-quarter earnings reports. Another was continued easing of the money market. Wall street reacted with a mod- erate advance that pushed stock averages well above the levels of the previous week. By some strange coincidence the market's best showing came on the 24th anniversary of the disastrous panic of Oct. 29, 1929. The week also saw gains in such important areas of the economy as heavy construction contract awards and electric power output. Over-all activity was on a_high plateau, although industrial * pro- duction as measured by the fed- eral reserve board index failed to Show the customary seasonal rise. AUTO OUTPUT UP The Detroit auto boom contin- ued. October production was the second highest for that month since the Second World War. Passenger car output gained a shade this week; truck production eased as a result of a model-changeover and inventory-taking. Scheduled steel operations were slightly under last week's actual operating rate; crude oil produc- tion declined again; retail trade continued somewhat sluggish. Mer- chants said they expected to do better this Christmas than in last year's record-busting season, but figured it would take some extra- hard selling. : General Motors topped the week's list of highly favorable sales and earnings reports. The in- dustrial giant said its sales for the first nine months of 1953 we higher than in any previous full year.

With the large number of pay cheques now released on Fridays, and the stores open on | Friday evenings, it is felt that this chance will benefit both depositors at the banks and the merchants who have frequently been called upon to cash cheques after bank- {ing hours.

(CP) -- An has invented an oven which runs structed of aluminum, it weighs a little more than four pounds. In a demonstration to the Waite- mata electric power board here, Hounslow produced cakes, bread, marmalade, sauce, roasts and grills with the oven. The principle of the oven is based on radiation. The aluminum has a high reflective capacity, so that heat from the lamps, if not at first absorbed by the cooking food is reflected back by the polished sides. The radiation principle also ob- viates the need for costly insula- tion around the oven. The power needed in ordinary ovens -- 400 watts against 3,000.

The "palace'" a group of factory- made aluminum buildings, will go wherever 52-year-old crown prince Saud of Saudi Arabia goes hunting. The prince, heir to King Ibn Saud, ordered the palace from a British firm. Each of the buildings can be erected and dismantled within an hour. The equipment includes a shower and a water tower which will be filled from buckets. 3 Reservists Killed in Jeep PLESSISVILLE, Que.

WA Harvest Supper Western Style Raises $325 ALTAMOUNT, Man. (CP) -- Every year in most rural com- munities the end of harvest is marked by the traditional fowl supper, a tradition that seems to gain strength through the years. One of the first to organize this sessjon for gourmets in home-cook- ing was this little town 87 miles southwest of Winnipegs Like a lot of other customs, it lapsed during the war years, but about 300 per- sons turned up for the "eat all you can" classic this fall. ' Tables sagged under loads of cold turkey and chickens, with apple, rhubarb and raisin, cream and lemon meringue pies. Salads and rolls topped off the feast. BUSY COOKS The supper was organized by the Altamount United Church Ladies Aid as a money-raising project. Adults paid $1, children 50 cents. Each of 31 women produced 10 pounds of cooked fowl, a pot of potatoes, three pies and a large bowl of salad. Butter, sugar, cream jellies, pickles, and gravy were glo supplied on a co-operative asis. A third of all wealth from Can- ada's primary production comes WHITBY NEWS Work On Coronation Park Detailed; Call Annual Meet Delay in the development of Cor- onation Park, which evoked some criticism at the last meeting of the Public School Board, is dealt with in a letter being sent out to all members of the Coronation Park Committee, by the President, Gor- don Hawes and by the secretary, Ralph MacCarl. Work done so far on the community project in which several local organizations are in- terested and the amount that has been spent, are outlined by Mr. MacCarl. The letter is as follows: At the last meeting of the Whitby Coronation Park Development Committee a note of disappoint- ment was expressed at the lack of progress made to date. After con- siderable discussion it was felt by those present that any criticism made should be shared by all the committee and not just by those who have been faithful to the cause. The committee is composed of representatives from the Whitby Public School Board, the Separate School Board, Chamber of Com- merce, Rotary Club, Canadian Le- gion, Kinsmen Club; IODE, Whitby Baseball Club, Ratepayers Associa- tion, Whitby Fire Dept. and Credit Union, each one of whom is being notified of the next meeting which will be the annual meeting, to be held on November 9th at 7.30 p.m. in the old Recreation Office (above the Town Clerk's Office). At this meeting election of officers will take place for the ensuing year. This letter is being sent to each organization in the hopes that they will definitely make the necessary arrangements to see that their re- presentative will be present at this meetng. Nothing succeeds like success is very familiar to us all and success can only be achieved by each and every one responsible pulling their weight. This park is being developed for the sole pugpose of making avail- able to all children of Whitby a place of recreation worthy of them and the town that is proud to claim them. There is room for all sports each in its season. To date the sum of $17178.00 has been spent on grading, $1,168.64 on fencing $65.00, on seeding and so far on the coronation gates $200.00, making a total of $2,611.64. The committee has on hand $530.63. It must be apparent to all that a real effort will have to be made to raise funds necessary to finish thhis pro- ject in a manner complimentary to the grand old town we all call home. Remember some of the items ab- solutely necessary include bleach- ers, lights, rest rooms and refresh- ment booth. The IODE have made arrange- ments for the flag. Sincerely hoping that this letter will spur the organizations named above to a greater effort in the fu- ture development of the park. Signed on behalf of the com- mittee, President: Gordon Hawes.. Sec. Treas.: Ralph MacCarl Oshawa Couple Awarded Damages of Over $3,000 Damages totalling more than $3,000 have been awarded an Osh- awa couple following litigation in the Ontario County Supreme Court. A ury, after hearing evidence for two days, awarded Leonard and Laura Payne, RR 2, Oshawa, total damages of $3,039.75 from John Bannister, of Campbellcroft. The plaintiffs entered a complaint against Bannister following a mot- or car accident near the outskirts of Oshawa on November 29, 1951, in which Bannister's car ran into the rear of the Payne vehicle. The plaintiff's case was presented by A. W. S. Greer, QC, of Oshawa, and J. D. Hilton, of Toronts, ap- peared for Mr. Bannister. In the claim filed, Mr. Payne had' asked special damages of $2,852 and additional damages of $10,000. His wife had claimed damages of $1,000. In the assess- ment handed down by the jury. Bannister had already admitted liability, Mr. Payne was awarded $2,839.75 and Mrs. awarded $200. The chief complaint of the plain- tiff was that as a result of the accident he had been unable to return to his normal employment and now suffered severe pains in the arms and other disabilities. Defense pointed out that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Payne had consulted a physician immediately follow- ing the accident in which his car suffered $156 damage. Mrs. Payne at no time had consulted a doctor. Evidence was brought in that Mr. Payne, 73 years old at the time of the accident, had been suffering from arthritis although no pain had been evident. It was held by medical witnesses that the accident had caused a stretching of the nerves of the arms which caused the pain which was added to by the advancement of the arth- ritic condition. The case was presided over by Mr. Justice Kelly. Payne was Confirmation Rites At Church of St. John The sacred and solemn rite of confirmation was administered to a class of sixty candidates at the Church of St. John the Evangelist last evening by the Right Rev. Ben- jamin Webster, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese of Toronto, in the presence of a congregation" which packed the sacred edifice to the doors. Reflecting the fine spiritual health and growth of the congrega- tion, the class of confirmees was the largest in the history of the parish. Fifty-two children and eight adults knelt before His grace to receive the sacred rite, after being questioned on the meaning of con- firmation, and instructed in mat- ters of the fgith. The bishop was assisted by Rév. Father M. Darby, of Ajax, and the Rev. Father Lee, Ontario Hospital chaplain, with Rev. John O'Mara, secretary to His Grace. The service throughout was most impressive. The Bishop was escorted from the rectory to the church by mem- bers of the Holy Name Society who formed a guard of honor. In the church the candidates for confirm- ation were presented by Rev. Fath- er Hickey. Questioning the candidates, His Grace found them to be well pre- pared for the solemn rite. In a free and easy manner he asked many questions and elaborated on some of the s. He touched {rick Smith, QC, well-known bar- they had learned while preparing for confirmation was also stressed.

Team No. 2 .. Whitby Cleaners Team No. 4 With only one more week re- maining in the fitst section, team No. 5 and team No. 1 are tied with 13 points, three points ahead of the second place team. Team No. 5 skipped by Lloyd Sabins, square off with Manny Swartz' team No. 3, while team No. "1 with Dick Adams at the helm do battle with Vince McCabe's team No. 6. Both teams supplying the opposition for teams 5 and 1 can- not possibly win the section, but it is safe to say they will make it plenty dough for these two teams. Should both team No. 5 and team No. 1 lose all the points and should Wilson's Furniture win all three points against team No. 2 then a three-way tie would result for first place and pinfall would then decide the winner. Team No. 4 continues as the hard-luck team of this section as|! they lost all three points to team No. 1. It was a case of too many headpins as Gord Brown will test- ify. Gord picked out a cool dozen in all with as many if not more corner-pins. Stay with it Gord, it just can't happen again. For the winners, Dick Adams and Jim Ross were best with 716 and 708 respectively. Lloyd Sabins team No. 5 won two points from Wilson's Furni- ture squad. Smiley Cummings was top bowler for the winners with 818. This triple incidentally was high triple for the week. Lloyd was second best for his outfit with 668. Ernie White was best man for the losers with 744. The Whitby Cleaners who were white-washed last week took two points from Vince McCabe's team No. 6. Buzz James rolled a 770 triple for the Cleaners while Merle Reeson hit a 737 triple for the losers.
