Small Towns Best OAKV'ILLKâ€" "We don't want any more cities like Torohtoâ€" they're too big, they arc swollen atid they create territii' problems; it would be infin- itely rji tier fur (ianada as a whole If we had a millitm Oakville.s!" Geo. 6. Houfrhinan, secretary of the Retail Merchants' Association of Canada, told Oaks ille Business Men's Associ- ation. The spcakvr declared Canadians as a whole have not yet grasped the iniporiance of the revelations made by tlie price spreads inquiry. "This report has cost pmbably three-(;ciarterH of a million <lollars, but despite the average cynicism, it it oni ef the llnest investments the CaruK'.an taxpayers has ever made," ho saiil. "it is the first textbook of the new dawning social era in Can- ada." Mr. Hiiugham denounced the de- VelopMint of the mass buying prin- ciple in Caiia<lian business.

Several thousand farmers aroused because the strike had cut off a mar- ket for JIO.OOO worth of milk dally, marched on the plant. Armed with bricks, clubs and other weapons, they drove the strikers from the Ivy-covcr- ed building and demanded that the company resume buying their product. Sit-dowuers wore driven to the sub- urbs and told not to return. Qovernor George H. Earle ordered an investigation to 'fix responsibil- ity." Twenty-five persons were In the hospitals. "The bloodshed at the Hershey riant was a disgrace to the common- wealth," Earle said. Fire Hall Fire JIUMBER BAY. â€" 'The fire hall Is on fire," was the alarm that rang out to number Bay firemen. The brigade which is a volunteer one was on the scone In about 15 minutes and quelled the blaze which liad originated in the recreation room on the second floor as the result of an overheated stove.

''Lord Tweedsmuir carried himself In an extraordinary fine manner," Sir Herbert Marler said. ''Ho received a num-nificent reception in both the Se- nate and House of Representatives where ho made charniing and most cultured speeches." S;r Herbert said the visits of I'riino Minister King and Lord Tweedsmuir bad been entirely per.sonal and not political. They did much to iiicreaso the friendly sentiment toward Can- ada. Prophesying great development and tourist traffic and commercial trade with the United States in the coming years, Sir Herbert said, "It is amazing to find how gr(\'it an interest the Am- <!ricans take in C!anada. They secini to Ket tremendous pleasure from visiting the Dominion and when returning they have nothing but good to say of the country, its people, and its Institu- tions." R.C.M.P. Air-Minded O'l'TAWA, â€" All aviation seciion is being created within the Royal Canad- ian Mounted Police, it was learned here. It wllh start with four planes, each manned by a pilot and observer. For some years the mounted have been operating an air patrol on the .\tlanlle coast, but its personnel were officers and niechanics seconded from the Royal Canadian Air Force. The new service will Ik; administered and manned by the Mounted. The force has sufficient qualified pi- lots and observers, since (lUlte a num- ber <it airmen who were let out of tho R.(^A,1''. when the economiy nxo fell in lilol' wont to the Mounted. Also many of the cointables jiossess eom- ineiclal flying certificates. The R.C.M.P. air force will be bas- ed in Ilalifa.v, but In duo course the hope Is to have Honio planes operating on the Pacific coast and In the north country.

Six Diemakers Leave Oshawa Skilled Workmen Get Employ- ment at Peterboro, Their Na- tive City. PETERBOROUGH. â€" Six diemak- ers forced out of work by the strike at General Motors plant, Oshawa, were hired at Peterborough plants Friday morning, and places for others ar esaid to be available. Most of the men served their ap- prenticeship In local plants and be- ing informed of the impending strike last week, applied for work In their home city. These diemakers, skilled mech- Ics, who draw high wages, are In de- mand at several places in the Pro- vince and their loss will cause con- siderable embarrassment to General Motors ofQclals when work is re- sumed. At the present time, there appears to be a distinct shortage of skilled diemakers, machinists, and metal workers, and one local mau de- clares there will be an exodus of trained men from tho strike area. Four diemakers we.-e hired at one plant, and two others obtained work at another plant, both of which are booming at present. These men state they know of tour other skilled me- chanics who have moved to Toronto into new Jobs. Police Trace Montreal Thug Man Who Shot Pal in Error Be- lieved F.jaded For Toronto MONTREAL. â€" Search for the gun- man pal of slain Sam Wolman turned to Toronto as police here held their suspect's wife and girl friend of the ex-convict killed Thursday night dur- Ing a burglary. Montreal police, claiming to know the Identity of the accomplice who shot Wolman as ho fired at a police- man, telegraphed Toronto police to- day asking them to watch for the man. They said they had information he was heading for the Ontario capi- tal. All -police would say about the wanted man was that he had a crim- inal record In Montreal and Toronto and was wanted for burglary in sev- eral Ontario cities. He and Wolman were in the midst of a warehouse burglary late Thurs- day when the shooting occurred. Sur- prising the pair at work, a railway po- liceman grappled with Wolman. The other man ran oft Into the darkness and fired shots at the struggling pair. Two struck Wolman in the head, and he died instantly. Hepburn Predicts Peace When Agitators Leave Oshawa Accord Possible Without Hirelings of John L. Lev/is Te!l:ng What to Do â€" C. I. O. Man Is Issue "If wo can get these paid profes- sional American agitators out of On- tario, I am convinced that I can readily consummate an agreement be- tween fieneral Motors and Its em- ployees that will permit every one to go back to work, happy and con- tented with their lot, instead of walk- ing the streets listening to tho abus- ive talk of Thompson and Martin." Premier Hepburn told tho Globe and Mail Saturday night. Still in his oflice desk at Queen's Park, said the Prime Minister, was Ceneral Motors latest offer to the striker.s an offer involving wage in- creases and other concessions â€" which. In bis opinion, and that of Louis Fine, chief conciliator of tho Provincial Labor Department, would re.uilt In a speedy and amicable settlement of existing dilllculties it only it could reach the ears of those on strike. Rut Thompson and Martin "these slick fellows who operate from outside On- tario and make a fat livin;; out < f the pay envelopes of our working class" were bending every effort, lie charg- ed, to prevent th.at from happening. CAN SHTTLV: OWN PROMLE.M.S "We can settle our own problems in this I'rovince," declared the Prime Minister, ''without having the hire- lings of .lohn L. Lewis, the master mind behind all the unrest .and dis turbance In the United States, cumo in here and tall us what to do. I'm nut going to attempt to reply to all the abuse which Martin at Oshawa last night heaped upon the head of tho Oovernnient here. Siilllce It to say, It was In poor taste. What would I>eople of the country from which ho comes think and say If one of our la- bor leaders wer to go over there and openly attack the tiovernmont of a State, or, for that matter, tho Presi- dent? Why, they'd bo apt to take him for a ride on a rail." RALLY OP STRIKKUS OSHAWA. â€" General Motors will either sign a contract with the inter- national union or bo prevented from producing cars In eitlior tho United States or Canada, Homer Martin. President of the United Automobile Workers of America, fold 1!..500 cheer- ing strikers here on Saturday night. Making a quick trip to Oshawa, the slim, dynamic union chieftain, a for- mer Baptist clergyman, aroused his audience to tremendous enthusiasm when ho declared ; ''General Motors of Canada will agree to our requests. If they don't make cars in Canada under union conditions, they won't make any in the United States at all.'' Tlio arrival of Martin brought in its train a developinent which was hailed as a distinct achievement by union olllcials. The Oshawa local became alliliated with the Toronto District Trades and Labor Council and at the next meeting of tho Toronto body will be represented by delegates. This makes tho U.A.W..^. inovement a part of the (Canadian labor organization. THOMPSON VOTKn CONKIDKNCE lIuKh Thoni|.-son, C.I.O. organizer, who was refused pernilssion to sit in on a conference between Premier Hepburn and tho strike committee, was given a vote of confidence by tho meeting. The strikers roared their prot(>st.s when told that the Premier had refused to negotiate with tho r.tilke executives as long as Thomp- son was a member of it. 'â- Do you want mo to withdraw if I am the per.'jou standing in the way of you going back to your jobs?" ask- ed Thompson. "No, we want you." came the re- sponse. Egg Price Up Ueports from Quebec City show that, since the city adopted the t<riiuiple that only grade A eggs may be sold on the public market, the price has incrca.-^cd five cents per dozen. C- N Queen Elizabeth's Crown Gets 98 Years In Prison But Will Serve Only Two Sixteen- Year-Old Youth Is Sentenced at London on 33 Charges; Stayed One-Man Crime Wave in City Windsor To Marry Week of May 23rd Buckingham Palace Officials Re- veals Alleged Date LONDON. â€" - The Duke of Wind- sor and Mrs. Wallls Warfield Simp- son will be married during the week of May 23. a Buckingham Palace official said last week. They have not yet chosen the place "but France seems the best guess so far." Charles Bedaux, Mrs. Simpson's host by proxy at Monts, France, said upon arriving at Cherbourg from New â- york that the marria-je probabi:/ would occur at the Chateau de Cande. The Bucklng'ham Palace infoiln- ant said the Duke of Kent, Edward's youngest brother, would be best man and that Mary, Princess Royal, also might attend the marriage. Monday, .May 24, is Empire Day when the King and Queen are sched- uled to attend Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral, therefore, it appeared certain the wedding would not take place on that day. The week of May 23 was chosen in telephone conversations between Edward and King George, since it will not clash with the Coronation. Edward's friends, Lord and Lady Mountbatten and Lieut.-Col. Piers Legh. will attend. Legh may repre- sent tho King. Edward's financial affairs are gradually being arranged and only Parliament'j approval of the King's civil list delays final settlement. His debts to a large London banking firm $,500,000. and to a Paris jeweler, $.'!50,000. have been paid partly by himself and partly with the King's aid. The Duke Is now worth about $4,- 000.000 in jewels, property and mon- ey left him by his father and Queen .Mexandra and from his own invest- ments. He will have an annual income of $200,000 from interest on his own capital and the Royal Family's settle- ment after he marries. Mrs. Simpson sent for her British lawyers yesterday to complete plans for obtaining a final divorce decree April 2T. Favors New Crossing Sign Mrs. Chris. Somerville of Chat- ham Suggests Conformity CH.\THAM.â€" -A change from the present cross-bar warnings at rail- road level crossings on highways to other .<;igns more in conformity wi*h road signs along the highway is sug- gested by Mrs. Chris Somerville of this city. Mrs. Somcrvillt would substitute for the present signs 300 feet away from the track, signs similar to those which indicate curves and intersec- tions, but would place across them strings of red reflectors, indicating tho angle at which the railroad cros- ses the highway, and the number of tracks. The signs would also bear the word "Railroad Crossinfr." Mrs. Somerville thinks that such signs would be more apt to be seen by motorists, especially at night, when the other type of signs are sometimes hard to spot. They could be placed the same distance from the tracks. LONDON, Out. â€" Sixteen-year-old William Rutin, who staged London's biggest one-man crime wave, was sen- tenced 33 times this week. If he served all 33 sentences consequently he would be behind bars for 98 years. However, as terms run concurrently he will actually serve one year de- terminate plus two years less a day Indeterminate In the Ontario Reform- atory. Magistrate Menzles announced he would recommend to the Department of Inumigration that Hutln be deport- ed to Rumania when released from the reformatory. During February and March Hutln robbed stores, barber shops, shoe shops, refreshment booths, service stations and offices. He staged 30 crimes in London and three in Middle- sex County. Magistrate Menzles sentenced Ma- tin to one year determinate plus two years less a day indeterminate on each of the 27 charges of breaking and entering .Then he gave him a similar sentence for stealing a car. On two charges of theft the magis- trate gave two sentences of six months determinate plus two years less a day indeterminate. Say Signs Point To Big Fishing Season PORT ERIE.â€" Dozens of fishermen were out during the week-end along the Niagara River following the last run of ice of the season, in an effort to angle pike and perch, which sn other years have invariably followed such run from Lake Ene into the Niagara for purpose of spawning in tributary creeks. Old time fishermen, however, with the rising of Niagara's waters after a straight seven years of re- cession believe that 1937 is going to \>c a banner year for fishing. Thev explain with the low water the feeding grounds of the finny tribes were lost and the have in recent years sought other locations. The presence of minnows in millions along the shores gave indittitions the run of the latter from the lake 's already underway. They too seek creeks, and are always followed by the larger fish, such as pike, perch and bass.

SUDBURY.â€" En route to see the Dionne quints. Violete and Daisy Hilton, Siamese twins, said they were not "at all interested in the quintup- les." "We are going to see them because it is part of our business. Being in the show business we are exDcctcd to pay a visit to Canada's famous five children. I think Mrs. Dionne should be more of a curiosity than the quintuplets," said Violet Hilton, who did most of the talking for the two girls. Violet Is mar- ried. In private life her name is Mrs, Jim Moore. Her husband does not travel with them. They were married ot the Dallas Centennial during July. Members Pass $1,000^000 Plan To Aid Youths â€" No Can^M Propoaed â€" ^Wide Program Of Technical Training. OTTAWA. â€" With $1,000,000 at its disposal the Dominion Oovemment ta conjunction with the Provinces wUI this year tackle the problem of un- employment youth, Labor Minister Rogers told House ot Commons Fri- day. -\s the House approved the appro- priation the Minister said he could not outline in detail how the money would be used, but an effort would be made to train young men for vari- ous trades in which there was a pros- pect ot their finding employment. "1 do not suggest this is any more than an approach to the larger prob- lem," said the Minister. "I think there is no feature ot the general un- employment problem which chal- lenges attention more than that of unemployment aiiiong the youth." So far as possible In its training program the Government would S"els to use existing agencies, technical schools and other facilities instead of setting up new machinery. It was not proposed to establish camps such as tho C.C.C. camps in tho United States, except so far as camps might be necessary in con- nection with forestry or mining work. APPOINT.MENT ATTACKED Some unemployed youth would be trained for the building trades, lh« Minister .said. Although the building industry has sufCercd perhaps more from the dei'ression than any other there was a danger ot a real short- ago ot skilled workers in those trades In the future. Answering a question, he said the Oovernmcnt proposed to consult with trad? 'tmlona regarding the appren- â- 'â- 'T ct young men to skilled
