2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, November 6, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN POLICE HONOR 2 FELLOW OFFICERS bs Long, meritorious service by police officers too often goes unnoticed, is taken for granted pretty well by the pub- lic who have, unfortunately, learned to regard such achieve- ments as routine. This is a sad reflection on our modern society. There was a reminder of this the other night when the Oshawa Police Association feted two fellow. officers who have, collectively and individually, compiled an impressive Jong-service record -- "each has accumulated 34 years of * @edicated service to the police profession," as President Fred J. Dionne, of the OPA, explained. : They are PC Joseph Allan Wright of 260 Greenwood and 'Desk Sergeant Duncan Foreman of 103 Ontario, both of "whom started their long service with the Oshawa Police Department on the same day, Aprif 1, 1928. PC Wright' who retired last October, served for 34 years and nine months -- Desk Sergeant Foreman will retire at the end of next De- gember to make his service of the same duration. "* "Joe" and "Dunc" -- as they are, affectionately known -- started out together when the department had 18 men (as compared with 74 today) and the starting salary for a cadet officer was $1,350 (as compared with $4,660 today -- a first- class officer gets $5,100). Both men 'worked the beat" for several years. "Joe" was then put on the motorcycle squad ("He was one of the best motorcycle 'men locally to ever put on a pair of leather "leggings," said Mr. Dionne.) "Joe" was seriously crippled by a runaway car at a traffic intersection, which almost forced his retirement; but he finally returned as a cruiser- driver after a lengthy convalescence ("Brother Wright was "and still is the best car man we have bar none," Mr. Dionne added.) "Dunc" Foreman resigned August 28, 1940, to enlist in the * Royal Canadian Air Force Service Police. He rose to the rank of flight-sergeant and received an honorable discharge October 16, 1945. He was promoted to patrol sergeant on the Oshawa force Decembér 1, 1945, and to his present rank January 6, 1946. He was president of the Oshawa Po- lice Association in 1951. DON JACKSON WOWS THOSE U.S. CRITICS *- Qshawa's Don Jackson has made an impressive debut in the pro world. As the great new star of the 1961-62 edition of the Ship- stad and Johnston Ice Follies (currently playing Detroit and due at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens next January 28- 'February 2) he is drawing some rave notices from the U.S. metropolitan critics, such as Dick Hackenberg of the Chicago 'Sun-Times (October 24 under the heading "Sickly Ohild To "World's Top Skater."') Mr. Hackenberg went into quite a critical tail-spin re- cently after witnessing = Don's Windy City pro debut, fas can be judged from the i following excerpts from his column: "You see young Jackson, as has been suspected for some time, is just about the best male figure skater 'in the world. When he re- turned to his home town of ging the world's champion- ship at Prague, Czechoslo- vakia last March, he was A given a hero's welcome. "More than 10,000 turned out to cheer him in a motor- cade down the main stem. bese In grateful appreciation of the fame he had brought to se Oshawa by adding thé World title to three North American and three Canadian cham- Plonships, the residents had chipped in and bought him a gorgeous new cer." Don attributes much of his succéss to the three winters he spent in New York under the tutelage of Pierre Brunet (Hackenberg says) who coached Carol Heiss to two world championships and an Olympic title. Writes Mr. Hackenberg: "Not overburdened with money, Jackson skated four to five hours a day on the Iceland rink atop Madison Square Garden, lived across the street in a modest hotel, cooked _ most of his own meals to make his meagre finances stretch a little further. He was up each morning at 6, on the ice at 7. 'Tt was ajong lonely road,' he'll tell you, 'but it was worth every painful mile. "Of course, Jackson was immunized early to the long, Jonely, painful road. He was such a sickly child that doctors -ofespaired of his ever being able to take part in any type of sports activity. "A premature baby of 74% months Donald was discover- éd to have been born with a rupture and during his infancy he suffered the throes of pneumonia three times. "As a second grade student, Don became interested in skating, Canada's national pastime. A year later, he received ' his first pair of skates and started studying the intricate fig- - ures under the instruction of the former Hungarian world | champion, Ede Kiraly. "He was no sudden phenom. He had to take his first fig- ure skating test five times before he passed it, his second four times before making the prescribed score. : "But, at 14, this persevering young man won the Cana- 'dian junior title in Toronto. The following year he passed «his Gold test.'In 1956 he was runner-up in the Canadian + then's singles. In 1957 he was seventh in world competition at * Colorado Springs. In 1958 he was fourth if Paris. In 1959 he became the first Canadian North American champion since 1941. "Then last March he brought 18,500 spectators roaring » te their feet in Prague with his dazzling free skating display. ; The kid that would never have been an athlete now is a 'tember of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame". How is Donald standing up under the rigors of the pro- _ fessional skating world ? ' "He's behaving like an old pro," said George Jackson, his father, Monday. "Of course, he knows what self-discip- 'Hine means, also what it means to perform in a "'pressure atmosphere'. For instance, he was laid low with a fairly bad ' Case of the 'flu' when the Ice Follies played in Chicago, but he didn't give in to it -- he never missed a single perform- ance. Yet he lost five pounds." The Jacksons have not yet seen their son perform in the Ice Follies (the show opened last September 6 in Los Angeles), but he has been home for quick visits since that time. George Jackson described Don's dazzling successes as "a long-shot gamble that paid off." He said: "Naturally my wife and myself made sacrifices to ad- vance Don's career, but isn't that typical of most parents who want to see their children get ahead? Yes, sacrifices did exist, but they were not as bad as they appeared at the time. Perhaps this was because the family. all pulled together as a team -- that's what it was, a team effort in every way." { That's @ chapter in Don Jackson's life that deserves a special story -- the sacrifice made by his parents to further his skating career. It would fill several volumes. , OTTAWA (CP) -- The Cana- dian government intends to con- tinue selling grain to Red China under its 2%-year agreement, Agriculture Minister Hamilton said Monday. He declined comment o whether negotiations have be- gun on another hard sale within the terms of that agreement which expires in December, 1963, However, informants said that shipments under the last order should be completed next month. If negotiations have begun, as stated in weekend reports, they have not yet reached the face- to-face bargaining level of the hammers out the quantities and prices with Red Chinas state trading representatives.

REITERATES STAND Mr. Hamilton's stand, reiter- ated recently in a » Calgary speech, is that "as a govern- Union Man Fined For Pointing Gun SUDBURY (CP)--A group of union men burning a rival in effigy last month abandoned the demonstration quickly when the man they were burning in ef. figy let loose with a shotgun. The men were _ standing around the burning dummy singing "We shall not be moved" when the shots were fired. "T assure you we did move," said Bill Stewart in court Mon- \day. | Mr. Stewart, a member of the executive of Local 598 of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (Ind.), was giving evidence at the trial of Leo Minor, charged | with assault and pointing a fire- jarm, Magistrate Anthony Falzetta fined Minor $25 on each of two charges of pointing a firearm. Charges of assault by discharg- ing a firearm were dismissed. Mr. Stewart testified he and other Mine - Mill supporters were celebrating the announce. ment Oct. 26 that supporters of the union's national office had won the Local 598 elections, held two days before. They were burning straw ef- figies of union rivals in front of the rivals' home in nearby Chelmsford. HIT BY PELLETS "I was part of a group burn- ing a bale in return for the bale he (Minor) burnt in front of my place," Mr. Stewart said. He and Armand' Lalonde testi- fied they were hit by shotgun pellets as the part of about 25 or 30 men stood about 50 feet from Minor's house. "T had to protect my property and myself,"' Minor testified in his own deferice. He said Mr. Stewart and other Mine-Mill supporters had tried to. beat him up a week before the inci- dent, and that some of the men in the effigy party had threat- ened him, Const. J. Farmer of Chelms- ford police said effigies were being burned all that night in Chelmsford streets and police were kept busy extinguishing the fires. | INTERPRETING THE NEWS Canadian Press Staff Writer The Vassall spy case is likely to prove embarrassing to the British government for some time. The opposition Labor party has accused the government of trying to whitewash the affair and several newspapers have been asking questions that so far remain unanswered. More broadly, this latest evi- dence of.a major breach in Brit- ish security, the third in two years, is said to have revived United. States fears about con- fiding official secrets to Britain. The centre of the storm is the admiralty, the British naval headquarters where clerk Wil- liam Vassail, a Soviet spy, re- mained undetected for six years despite two security crack- downs. Vassall, 38, now serving an 18-year prison sentence, is a homesexual who claimed he was compromised and _ black- mailed by Russian agents: in Moscow in 1956. He returned to London to be- come personal assistant first to the deputy director of naval in- telligence and then to the civil lord of the admiralty. In these positions he had free access to top-level papers. EXOTIC TASTES With the help of Russian funds he indulged his exotic |tastes with expensive clothes jand furniture, spending at least ldouble his £700-a-year govern- ment salary. Newspapers asked why Vas- sall, obviously living fat beyond his known means, was not sus- pected until it was too late. The government's reply, iven rather blandly by Defence Minister Peter Thorneycroft last week» seems to be_ that spies are endemic in a cold-war society and difficult to catch at any time. "How many of us," Thorney- croft asked the House of Com- Court Dismisses Appeal By Hoffa WASHINGTON (AP)--James R. Hoffa, Teamsters Union president, lost Monday his sec- ond attempt to get dismissal of an indictment by a_ federal grand jury in Orlando, Fia., charging mail fraud. The U.S Supreme Court re- jjected an appeal that asserted jury officials "consciously and deliberately manipulated' the racial balance of names placed in the jury box for selection of grand jurors: The appeal also contended there was systematic exclusion from the grand jury of '"'wage jearners, laborers, and working imen of the lower economic stra'a who were likely to be U.K. Spy Case Causes Trouble By DOUG MARSAL h mons, 'are not living above our incomes?" : from halted the hue and cry- The Daily Mail says there is an urgent need to discover why the Royal Navy, once known as the silent service, 'thas turned ws ' babbling brook." rime Minister Macmillan has appointed a three-man com- mission to investigate the Vas- sall case.

Red China still has consider- able grain to acquire under its agreement with Canada. The levels established early in 1961 were 186,700-000 bushels of wheat and 46,700,000 bushels of barley, plus some wheat flour. So far, 111,600,000 bushels of wheat and 27,000,000 bushels of barley have been sold in six separate contracts worked out at then-current prices on terms ;of 25 per cent down and the 'rest on nine months' credit. Penny Shortage Blamed On Ont. Sales Tax | VANCOUVER (CP) -- On- o's three - per - cent retail sales tax was blamed Monday for a shortage of pennies in British Columbia. The B.C. Retail Merchants Association asked housewives to crack open their piggy banks and get the pennies into circu- lation. Secretary Ray Hunt said pen- nies have been in short supply since Ontario put its sales tax into effect 14 months ago. But a Bank of Montreal of- ficial, who said that banks are unable to keep up with de- mands for pennies, added that the reason for the shortage is simply that the mint has not made enough. He said for the last five weeks the mint has been work- ing overtime to make more pen- mi es. We are cutting demands by a lot of our customers to make what we have-go round. I don't know what we're going to do at the Christmas rush." Nobody's getting the jump on the Toronto Junior Board of Trade. With its eyes on the Dec. 1 Grey Cup parade, the boara nas imported two kan- garoos from Australia. Dawn Export OTTAWA (CP)--This year's push to expand export sales ap- peared to have lost some of its steam during the summer months, it was indicated today in a new report on trade by id Dominion, Bureau of Statis- cs, Exports in the Ju'y-September third quarter, although at a rec- ord $1,609,600,000, showed a gain of only 0 ME oad pel --_, Any correspon per! ol! 1 September e x ports, totalling $492,600,000, were down 7.1 per cent from a year earlier. The marginal rise in the third quarter compared with year-to- ear gains of 11 per cent in the rst quarter of 1962 and 14.1 per cent in the second quarter. This hed the export total for the first nine months of 1962 to a record $4,623,100,000, a rise of 9.1 per cent from $4,263,500,- 000 in the corresponding period of last year. Part of this increase reflects the decline in the Canadian dol- lar's exchange value, which has meant a higher return in terms of Canadian dollars for exports sold on world markets for U.S. dollars. IMPACT FADES However, the immediate im- pact of a lower dollar rate in producing 'higher export earn- ings is becoming less. The spread between dollar exchange rates in 1061 and 1962--wide during the first half of this year has nafrowed since then, re- flecting the dollar's move to a discount level in the fall of last My lyear.

Cost Of Living Index Up Again OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's cost of living index jumped a half-point during September to a record high of 1315 on Oct. 1, due mainly to higher clothing and food prices. The increase in the cofisumer price index from 131.0 on Sept. 1, reported today by the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics, marked a resumption of an upward) trend that was interrupted) briefly by a decline during Au- gust. The index, which is based on 1949 prices equalling 100, had risen by 1.3 points during the three months May-July to its previous peak of 131.4 on Aug. 1, The new high mark is 2.1 points higher than the level of 129.2 at the start of October last year--a year-to-year rise of 1.8 per cent. Most parts of the household budget measured by the index showed increases during Sep- tember. But the sharpest rise was in clothing pfices, where the index jumped to 115.6 from 113.3. The index of food costs-- which make up 27 per cent of the expenditures in the general consumer index--advanced to 127.2 from 126.8. The ofly decline was in the index of transportation costs, which dropped to 139.9 from 140.3 due to lower gasoline prices, The September increase in living costs followed a slight de- cline in industrial wages during August for the second month in a row. The index of average industrial wages and salaries at Sept. 1--latest date available-- was 188.2 compared with 188.3 a month earlier and 188.7 two months earlier. The wage index was 182.2 on Sept. 1, 1961. September brought higher prices for eggs, beef, pork, cit- rus fruits, tomatoes and iettuce, though prices were lower for most other fresh vegetables, apples, ham and turkey. The housing price index in- creased to 135.4 from 1352. Rents were unchanged, but home - ownership costs were higher, The index of health and per- sonal ¢are costs rose to 160 from 158.2 due to nigher fees for doctors, dentists and optical care. Meanwhile, wholesale prices have been tending downwards. The index of 30 industrial mate- rials declined to 248.1 from 248.4 in the four weeks Sept. 28 to Oct, 26. 7 Policemen Hurt On Fawkes Night policemen were injured Monday night when a section of a Guy Fawkes night crowd in Lon- don's Trafalgar Square appar- ently broke through a police cordon to escape a firecracker tossed among them. Extra police were called in to try to clear the square of the estimated 10,000 persons. Po. lice said, some 100 persons had been arrested. Struggles broke out within the swaying mass of people and women fainted as fireworks ex- ploded at their feet. London firemen had gone to the scene of some 400 fires, none serious as the traditional ceremonies went on marking the defeat of an attempt in 1605 to blow up the Houses of Par- liament. LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- The provisional Ontario Milk Mar- keting Board has submitted a brief to provincial Agriculture Minister Stewart calling for a royal commission to investigate all phases of the Canadian daity industry. Foiiowing submissions of the brief, the board dissolved itself, ending six months of efforts to develop a marketing plan for all milk producers in Ontario, Harold Martin of Toronto, board secretary, said Monday. The brief requested Mr. Stew- art to urge federal Agriculture Minister Hamilton to establish the commission. It seeks a re- port by a commission at the earliest possible date. Mr. Martin said considerable criticism at county levels was directed toward a draft milk marketing plan presented by the board three months ago for producers' consideration. All producers were invited to submit to the board by Nov. 1} constructive suggestions for in-| corporation in the plan. WEED. FURNACE uEANOUT CALL PERR 723.3443 DAY OR NIGHT Dairy Industry ~ Probe Requested New reqiiests by the produc- ers "were similar to the criti- cism which had been received before," Mr .Martin said. "The board believed that if the sug- gested changes were included in the plan it would be impos- sible to secure a majority agreement from all -producer groups. "This brought the request for a royal commission and dissolu- tion of the board." Producers mainly objected to the system of electing repre- sentatives to the, board and such principles as the applica- tion and continuation of milk quotas Cheese and cream producers argued that a royal commission would delay action on a dairy plan.

' (Corner of Athol) 728-9441 LONDON (Reuters) -- Seven| Today's report listed other factors behind the export drop in September--reduced wheat exports and the smaller number of working days. During the third quarter, an 11.2-per-cent rise in exports to' the United States compared with last year mora than offset reduced exports to Europe and the Orient. Export sales to the U.S. in July-September rose to $962,- 200,000 compared with $865,600,- 000 a year earlier. Third-quarter exports to Britain, at $241,300,- 000, were fractiona:ly higher. Exports to other Common- wealth countries were up 2.7 per cent but shipments to all other countries were down 18.4 per cent, with large declinés in sales to Japan and in wheat shipments to Communist China. Push -- Loses Steam For the first rine months of the year, total exports to the U.S. rose 19.6 por cent to $2,- 768,500,000. Exports to Britain were down fractionaily to $667,- 700,000 from $671,400,000. Ship- ments to other Common' countries ' down 5.4 per cent, and to other countries $952,500,000, down 7.6 per cent.

He contended that only the federal government has the right to pass laws dealing with religious liberty. In rejecting the pétition, the Appeal Court ruled that the Je- hovah's Witnesses did not have the legal right to institute such proceedings, because they were not affected in any way by the provisions of the law in ques- tion.
