Civic. Memorial Stadium on Wednes- day and Thursday, August 12 and 13, it was announced today. Manager Eddie Stanky stressed the importance of tryout camps by re- lating that, "The Cardinals since 1926 --when they won their first pennant and World Series--have been a first division club in 23 out of 27 years - primarily because they operate .the finest farm system ever seen in pro- fessional baseball. ; "Right now," Stanky said, "three- fourths of the players on the Cardinal squad were developed in the Red Birds farm system. And on top of that, one- fourth of the Cardinal stars of to-day were originally discovered in Red Bird tryout camps." EDDIE STANKY Each summer the St. Louis National Leaguers conduct tryout camps in Canada and the United States as a means of giving young players be- tween 17 and 23 a chance to win a professional baseball contract with the Red Birds, "Major League talent," emphasized the Red Bird skipper, "must be de- veloped in the minors. And today the Cardinals have the best system for the development and advancement ofT young talent. . "Tom Burgess an outfielder from London, Ont., is doing fine with our Rochester club. in the International League. He is hitting over thé .300 . mark at present and looks like .a fine prospect. And Tom advanced to our AAA club from Class A competition the year before." Workouts at Oshawa are scheduled to begin each day at 10 a.m, -- Arsenic In Candy Police Allege Stanley Cowling, R.R. 6, Bowman- ville, was taken into custody by On- tario* Provincial 'Police late Sunday and charged with attempted murder. He is lodged in jail at Cobourg. It -is alleged that Cowling sent chocolates to, his family and that in- vestigations showed each candy con- tained 2.6 grains of arsenic. Cowling is also alleged to have sent anonymous letters to the family. Yvonne Sounders, 19, of Bowman- ville, told Ontario provincial police she received the chocolates while working at the Bowmanville hospital and pass- ed them around to fellow workers on a bus, None of the passengers were affected but police said eight of the chocolates '"'contained--emouUgh Hrsenic to kill any man." Miss Saunders and her mother later noticed that the chocolates had been tampered with and took them to police. The girl also told police she received some anonymous letters that threat- ened "to get you". ~ Cowling runs a farm near Bow- manville, about 41 miles east of To- ronto. auf Approve $100, 000for | Ont County Roads Ontario County Council has receiv- ed "permission from the Provincial |" Dept. of Highways to issue debentures up to $100,000 for the construction of new pavement in 'the eounty. A special meeting. of the 'Council was held to decide where the paving will be laid. If thé 26 miles are completed, the county's paved road mileage will be increased 60 per cent. County Road Superintendent, R. E. Sims said. Further, it will represent the largest road construction undertaking in the county since it was organized. The decision of the Department of Highways, which cut the county's road | budget for this year. substantially, thus ruling out any possibility of new paving, is big news, and will no doubt be well received by the county legis- lators, The Council has long felt that to do much 'paving per year is in the long run the most economical, but the lack of funds has been a stumbling block. The traffic on county roads today is greater than it ever was and roads will have to be constructed to take care of it. Meeting The Ontario County Holstein Club held a very successful Twilight meet- ing at the farm of Mr. Earl Howsam and Sons, Greenbank, on Wednesday evening, July 22nd. * Around 350 Hol- stein breeders and their friends were -| in attendance, The first part of the program was under the direction of Mr, Gerald Nel- son, Holstein Fieldman for this dis- trict.

"Rare "29-Hand + Turned in Sutton Once in the lifetime of a very oc- casional Cribbage player come a turn- up of the "Perfect Hand", a count of 29 maximum possible): which showed up in a friendly game in Sutton last week. The amazed player was Jack Russ, employee of Sutton Electric, who having a game with Frank 'Paddy' Shannon and had Paddy cut him the fourth 6-card to match three 6's and Jack in his hand. ' The one-in-twenty-million turn did not do' Russ any good, however, to- ward winning his game. He did not even get a chance to count it. Be- cause it was the last hand of a game, with Paddy counting first, in need of only very few points to go out and win the game! PEGGI LODER One of the cutest little actresses in Canadian radio is Peggi Loder of To- ronto, heard in such CBC series as The Tglers, Summer Fallow, Cockoo Clock House, Cross Section, and Aunt Lucy, as well as in a good many other programs from time to time. She was one of the few child radio performers who had steady work right through her teens, and now married to a musi- cian and the mother of two, she is heard on the air nearly every -day. Hottourable Earl Rowe Predicts Michael Starr In New Cabinet (Times-Gazette Stat Reporter) Speaking at a Progressive: Conser- vative picnic on Saturday at Green- wood Park, in support of candidate Michael Starr, Hon. Earl Rowe of Dufferin-Simcoe, lashed out at what he termed the "Muddly mess of extra- vagance of the Liberal administra- tion," the high taxation caused by reckless spending and the loss of Bri- tish markets for Canadian wheat, and other agricultural products, Dr. M. B. Dymond of Port Perry was the first 'speaker to the gather- ing which numbered about 200. He exhorted the party stalwarts to work for Mike Starr's election. He said, "We have an excellent program, and are the only party with the intestinal fortitude to come out and say what the party stands for. Dr. Dymond said, "We are not a- shamed of our candidate, or our party leader, George Drew." PLENTY OF TRAVELLING Dr, Dymond then introduced Mi- chael Starr who thanked those who were working hard to re-elect him. He spoke of his travels throughout the riding and also of the heavy demands upon his time by other candidates. in other ridings and said that he must rely upon individuals to take the re- sponsibility for him in their own sub- divisions. He said the last session of parlia- ment was a momentous session. In that short time it was fully shown that confidence was lacking in the Li- beral government and exposures were made of waste and extravagance and poor adminigtration in high places. CAN CUT TAXES Mr. Starr said it would be possible to cut 600 million from taxation that exemptions for single persons be raised to $2,000 and married persons to $3,000 and hidden taxes could be reduced. Health insurance was a vital ques- tion and the Progressive Conserva- tives proposed to launch a program in co-operation with the provinces and municipalities which would work and not be doomed to failure as the pro- gram suggested by the CCF. EXEMPT MUNICIPALITIES ; | championed the cause of muni- cipalities in seeking to have the Fed- eral sales taxes lifted from purchases of equipment they and 'their school | boards require. The provinces do not pay this tax, and I believe the muni- cipalities should be exempt," said Mr. Starr. Mr. Starr spoke of the tax on auto- mobiles which amounts to more than the labour costs on each machine. A car is not a luxury any more, it was the only transportation many have. MEDAL IDEA HIS "Regarding the Coronation medals which were given to our children, I brought the matter up," said Mr, Starr "and by 6 p.m. the next day Mr. Ab- hott said the medals would be issued. This item alone saved all municipali- ties thousands of dollars." "I have also helped many individ- uals whom I cannot name," said Mr. Starr. "I was able to provide addi- tional postal facilities for. Ajax upon the suggestion of a resident of that town. It has been an hour to repre- sent this grand old historic riding which has had great representatives i in the past, "I have tried to follow in their foot- steps with dignity and respect. I hope I am re-elected so that I can continue as Ihave begun. I am always at your service regardless of your political af- filiations." M.P. 256 YEARS . * The Hon. Earle Rowe, of Dufferin- Simcoe, was introduced by Mr. Starr as a highly respected member of par- liament for the past twenty-five years; an agriculturist, and noted horseman. . He thought Mr. Starr was too mod- est in speaking of his work 'in. the House of Commons, and that in his opinion' the capididate had made a greatér mark in six months than many a member in four years in office. He had made his presence felt and was al- ways in place in caucus and never spoke unless he knewi'what he was talking about. He had never seen a member do as much in six months in the past twenty-five years. IN CABINET The present contest, said Mr. Rowe, was like matching a free for all pacer against a green horse. He predicted that Mr. Starr would be a prominent | * * membet-of- the cabinet in the next gO- grnment, Mr. Rowe said that taxes could be cut, He recalled the old adage, true for over 1000 years, that the power to tax was also. the power to destroy. High taxation, extravagance and reckless spending had driven out ex- port markets. DEFENCE SCANDALS " Mr. Rowe spoke of the exposures in the Curie report and the purchase of neckties, nylons, and 'other equipment which was the speaker alleged, costing more to keep 100,000 men equipped than it did for a million during the war. The -Audior-General had reported the breakdown of the. Government's bookkeeping system. POOR HOUSING The speaker charged the govern- ment had fallen down: badly on the matter of housing, and said the coun- try was not in a healthy condition when young people could not afford to build homes. - Canada was the third ranking nation, and had more potential resources than any other country, yet the construction of homes had fallen away behind that of other nations. In rebuttal of charges that a _Con- servative Government would cut off pensions 'and baby bonuses, Mr. Rowe said this issue was settled and would be continued though he doubted the wisdom of giving millionaires an old age pension when he already had more than he knew what do with, while the old person without means only got 40 dollars a month. The speaker charged it was an absolute lie that. pensions would be in danger if George Drew were elected. NEED BRITAIN Mr. Rowe declared 'that British markets were essential to Canadian agriculture. British markets had slipped away under the Liberal ad- ministration and Britain had signed a contract to take Argentina wheat and surplus wheat from France at lower cost and our Canadian granaries were bulging and another crop yet to har- vest. Canadian bacon, cheese, eggs, and other farm products have also lost overseas markets. George Drew had promised to break down the dollar-pound barrier, estab- lish overseas markets, stop extrava- gance, lower taxes, remodel the whole 'system of taxation, provide for Pro- vincial-Dominion conferences, build homes with our money, and break down the centralization of power in Ottawa and government by order in couneil, "I urge you to work hard for Mike Starr and get us out of this muddy mess of extravagance," concluded Mr. Rowe. Wallace Picnic At Greenwood On Saturday, July 26th, the Wallace family held their picnic in the Green- wood Park. Hiss Olive Wallace, and Mrs. Lionel Kemp, both -ef Guelph, were in charge of games and sports during the afternoon. "After supper, Mr. M. F. White took charge, and asked all who would like to have the picnic another year to raise their hand. It was decided to hold it about the same time next year, and a committee was then appointed, consisting of Mr. Wallace McMillan of Orangeville; Miss Olive Wallace, of Guelph; Mrs. Frank Woods, of Pick- again many cousins, and others, whom they had not seen for years; the chil- dren playéd happily at games, on swings and in the pool. All were descendents, with their families, of the late Mr, and Mrs. George Wallace, who came to this country many years ago, and pioneer- ed in Reach Township. SUMMER DRIVING-- This year, added to an all-time high record in motor vehicle registra- tion in Ontario, travel authorities are anticipating the largest visitor traffic ever experienced in the province.

A good attendance of the ratepayers were at a meeting in Prince Albert in regard to the overcrowding at the school there, The chairman of the School Board, Fred Wilkinson, explained what had been planned by the Board for the starting of the September classes. A bus would be supplied to take the sen- ior classes to Chalk Lake school, a distance of about eight miles (that be- ing the nearest. school with the most accommodation) this plan did not seem satisfactory to the ratepapers. The other plan suggested by the Board of Health--that was to enlarge the present basement room, adding other windows and a floor and fixing the evestroughing on the school, so as to keep as much water as possible from seeping into the basement, which was causing so much dampness at the] present tine. The first plan men- tioned was the cheapest; but as yet the Star has not learned what plan or plans will be used. 3.7 People Are Average in Family OTTAWA .--The number of families in Canada is growing but the number of persons making up a family hasn't changed, the bureau of statistics re- ported. The number of families in 1952 in- creased to an @stimated 3,413,000 from 4,282,000 in the census year 1951. The average size of families was 3.7 per- sons, unchanged from 1951. The bureau also said the number of households, a group of persons living in the same dwelling whether related or not, also increased, to an estimated 3,661,000 in_1952; The average size of households was four persons, un- changed from 1951, Hall- Million Gallon Reservoir Planned For Lindsay Lindsay town has decided on the building of a new half-million gallon witer storage tank, "al ed, at cost approrimately $210,000, needed to supplement the present tank on the Provincial Highway near western edge of the town. The present sup- ply tank, in use since 1930, now is inadequate for thé needs, according" to consulting engineer W. B. Red- fern. The proposed new tank would be located in the East Ward of the Humour Coming upon a football the farmer's son. had brought. into the yard, the rooster called his hens around him.

Sunday morning completely destroyed the plant of Beaver Lamb & Shearling here as a result about 30 men are unemployed. The fire was first sighted by Con- stables Wilton and Swinson when they were on patrol, They heard a window crash and thinking something was amiss, they turned to see a flash of flame coming through the broken pane. Turning in the alarm, the police went to waken Ross Rodman. Said Ross; the first thing 1 knew, I. was awakened by the Police siren and then Con. Wilton banged on the door. 1 was on my way to the fire hall when the siren started." Firemen were on the job within minutes but they. didn't dare enter the building because of the inflammable liquids and exploding chemicals inside. One of the telephone wires runs quite close to the building and it was already damaged so C 'onstable Wilton radioed from his car to the O.P.P. in Newmarket who in turn telephoned Port Perry Fire Brigade for help. It was already known to. be impossible to save the building but a lot of attention was paid to seeing that neighbouring houses did not cateh fire. 62nd Anniversary Celebrated by Janetville Couple Janetville, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heaslip of Juanetville, were receiving the congratulations of their host of friends, on the occasoion of their 62nd wedding anniversary, which they cele- brated on the Sunday previous, at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Robert Wright and Mr. Wright in their Janet- ville home.
