Ebbs in court this mor- ning and fined $26 and costs or one month in jail. The accused also had his driver's licence sus- pended for a period of three months. The charges arose over the pur- chase of an auto by the accused in which it was contended by the Crown that Mr. Chinn had signed "A, Smith" in order to obtain the registration of the sald vehicle. Joe Perfaniak of Toronto, Crown witness, testified that he had sold his car last June 7 to one signing himself "A Smith" and sald that the man was the accused. Other evidence by High- ways Department and Wartime Prices Board officials showed that "A Smith" had' been signed to sale and transfer documents, 8. J. Hennick for the defence, brought out that Mr. Perfaniak and the Mr. Smith had not signed before witnesses, the signature of the witnesses being appended ear- ler and said that the Crown haa proved that 'A. Smith' was Mr. Chinn, However it was stated by the W.P.T.B. official that witnes- sing of the sale was as good as the witnessing of the signatures.

Unusual, Improper Counsel Says Of New Charges "I think this procedure is most unusual and improper and that it is a case of attempted intimidation by the department," said J. P. Mangé an, KC, in court this morning when the case of William A. Knox of Brougham, charged with making a false statement to the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission; was brought 'again before Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs The magistrate had reserved un- tl today his decision on such a charge and Mr. Mangan said that now six more charges had just been laid under a similar act against Mr, Knox. Defence counsel said that he did not feel like proceeding with the new charges until the decision of the magistrate had been given. Four previous charges regarding the making of a false statement had al- ready been dismissed or withdrawn, he noted. Magistrate Ebbs said that "the accused has had reason to expect that these matters were all through and now these new charges have been laid."

Reports from Pelping said the si- tuation in Manchuria had grown so tense that the U. 8. field team members were flown out Saturday in 12 planes. In the Manchurian fighting sev- eral thousands communists with artillery support were reported at- tackig positions around Nungan, 31 miles northeast of Changchun, the Capital. Chinese press reports, un- confirmed, said a Communist force of 2,000 attempting to take Tien- taishan, near Nungan, was repulsed in a five-hour battle. Benefit People (Continued from Page 1) 000. The provincial treasurer, Clarence Fines has worked out a satisfactory tax agreement with Ottawa, while, he said, Ontario has no agreement and nobody here knows what tax system will be next year. Turning to the measures the government had taken to protect the livelihood of the people, Mr. Jolliffe told his audience that the "Trade Union Act of Saskatche- wan is the most advanced on this continent . , , and the only one in Canada which ensures labor of some measure of union security, if they want it, Here in Ontario labor must fight for it." He went on to say that "Saskatchewan was the first and only province to in- crease the scale of the workmen's compensation benefits to equal 75 per cent of the workers' wages. These benefits are sald to be the highest in the world." He pointed out whera the first comprehensive farm security act in Canadian provinces had helpea the farmers and had made it im- possible for the farmer to lose his quarter section fo: causes be- yond his control. Also the burden of debt, which usually fell hard- est on the farmer when his crop failed had been eased by govern- ment aid, Free Hospitalization Measures to protect the life and health of the people were such that it appeared that the 'Saskatchewan government was more interested in health services and educational advances than it was in the price of wheat," the speaker contended. All persons were able to have free diagnosis and treatment for cancer, while free dental and medical care was at present available to the aged, new mothers and mental patients, Soon this would be extended to all persons in the province. From January 1, 1947, everyone would be able to have free hospitaliza- tion whenever they need it, The cost of this would be $5 a year to the people of Saskatche- wan, he said, while here in Onta- rio hospital bills were on the in- crease and in Toronto lately had even gone up as much a. a dollar a day, Turning to improvements in education, he mentioned that the minimum salaries for teach- ers there of $1,000 <o $1,200 were the highest statutory mini- mum salaries in Canada, gain, to attract the youth to the farm and the small toyn and hold them there, the government was spon- soring all types of recreation ana community centres. Social Measures Finally as regards measures of socialization, the government had sponsored industrial development in a largely agricultural province and many thousands were em- ployed at present in new govern- 'ment-run industries--many peo- ple who formerly would have had to leave the province for other centres of industry, mong these industries now establish ed in Saskatchewan, "he listed, a wool- len mill, shoe factory, fish fillet- ing plant, brick plant, seed filing plant, government printing plant, laboratories for investigating chemergy, box factory, - tannery, bus service, Saskatchewan Power Commission and an insurance company, This latter had reduced fire insurance greatly, in happy competition with private enter- prise, and had introduced motor accident insurance for all. However, he warned against thinking of a socialist government as anything that is static, "It is a process that depends on the people's ability to co-operate with one another, It comes in stages and is not a brightly-wrapped package placed on the people's door-steps the morning after eléc- tions." Since their entrance into office over two years ago, the Saskatchewan government had retained the support of its peo- ple just as the present Labor gov- ernment in Great Britain, whose domestic aims were similar, had done. Injured Man Is' Out of Danger The condition of Martin Gallas, 82,, of 125 Bloor Street East, injured in an accident last Thursday even- ing, was reported today by Doctor W. J. Graham as being "satisfac- tory" and that the elderly man was now out of danger. The X-rays that were taken revealed no frac- tures, he said and the extent of his injuries were mainly shock and ex- ternal bruises.
