WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE B.LF. President Special Speaker Monday Meeting On Monday, March 31, Russell 'Gage, President of the Oshawa Branch of the British Israel Feder- ation, conducted an interesting study and discussion on the subject "And Satan Came Also", The study of Scripture is by no means an haphazard or an easy process, said the speaker. The av erage person needs a good concor- dance. It is better to take one sub- ject at a time and follow it through, than to have a smattering of many different things, and not know much about any of them. Many people no longer believe in a Devil. Yet it is not possible to believe in God unless we also believe in the devil, 'God must have had some reason or plan in writing the Bible! As christians, what basis have we to stand on? Has anyone ever been able to write another book like the Bible; or to offer a better system than the one it contains? No!. Why then is there so much confusion among Christian people, concerning the Bible. Is it because people do not think too much, do not read the Bible thoroughly, and because our religious leaders as a whole have not tried to prove to us that the Bible is true? There is so much "higher" criticism, so much sub- versive teaching, the devil is work- ing so hard, that we as a people have lost the faith of our fathers. When God created man He gave him the power to choose whom he would serve. There is some sub- versive spirit on this earth respon- sible for all the things that happen contrary to God's will. To know the devil, we have to recognize him in a great many disguises, and his most effective one is the benevolent manner he sometimes assumes. He has many helpers, both spiritual and mortal. The spiritual "devils" are demons, There are many de- mons, but only one devil--the prince of demons. To accomplish his ul- timate objective, to set himself above God, it was necessary for him to corrupt the children of God. He started his evil work in the Garden of Eden. He was a liar from the beginning and accomplished his purpose there by a half truth. After the flood, Canaan was curs- ed, but Abraham, of pure blood stock, was made the father of the nation Israel, God's Kingdom on earth. Then follows a sad story of God's people fighting a losing battle with sin Finally God divorced Israel, caus- ed her to lose her name and ident- ity, but did not alter His promises. He has promised that Israel will be restored again. With the coming of Christ, the devil saw his authority challenged. He works through men and nations to accomplish his pur- pose. Through Herod, he tried to kill the infant Christ. He tempted Jesus in the wilderness. He set up idol worship, and false religious systems. Through the Babylonian succession of empires he has always tried to overthrow God's Israel na- tion. Jesus' worst enemies wére the religious leaders of His day. Of the hundred and one "isms" in our midst today, the most subtle and deceptive is "Modernism". The devil is still using some religious leaders to deceive the sleeping peo- ple of today. We have only to read the statements of Professor Gifford in his book "The Story of Faith", as quoted by the Rev. Perry Rock- wood, to see what is being done. Thank God for men like Perry Rockwood, with enough intestinal fortitude to speak out and tell peo- ple the truth. But what of the future? Let us turn to the Book. It is the only light remaining in a dark world. And the Book without Israel is void and empty. There is so much con- fusion today because Israel has been left out. We know where Israel is, who they are, and what is to happen, said Mr. Gage. Let us renew our faith, study our Bible, and we need have no fear of the future, for fear is but the result of uncertainty. Has C.B.C. Cut Red Broadcasts P.C. Member Asks Ottawa, April 2--(CP)--Revenue Minister McCann took under con- sideration in the Commons yester- day a question by Lawrence Skey (PC--Toronto Trinity) as to whe- ther the CBC has given instructions that the Labor-Progressive party is to have no more free time for poli- tical broadcasts. The question was parently provoked by the Liberal tory in the Montreal-Cartier by- election, thus taking the lone seat formerly held by the Labor-Progres- sive party.

By DARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, April 2. --(CP)--Quebce and Ontario, in the absence of new taxation agreements with the Do- minion, have taken identical steps to raise the revenue for the ad- ministration of matters under pro- vincial jurisdiction and both have forecast a surplus for the 1947-48 fiscal year, Meantime, Nova Scotia, the third province which has been unable to come to agreement with the Do- minion, is still carrying on nego- tiations. Premier Macdonald dis- closed last week that in an effort to bring about agreement he had made a new request to the Domin- ion to move out of the minor tax fields and to undertake to hold an- nual Dominion-provincial confer- ences during the five-year term of the taxation agreement, Later he said he had recieved a reply to his proposals, but did not divulge the contents. Finance Minister Abbott likewise remained silent on Mr. Macdonald's proposals, but during a recent de- bate in the Commons he said he could see "no purpose" in calling a new. Dominion-provin:ial coafer- ence until other provinces indicated their willingness to enter into new financial agreements with the Do- minion. He said the responsibility for the failure of the government te initi- ate social security and public in- vestment programs rested with those provinces which had "not seen fit" to enter new agreements. The Quebec budget made public March 25 and the Ontario budget brought down March 11 showed that the two provinces, at least for the 1947-48 fiscal year, will not re-enter the personal income tax field which they occupied jointly with the Dominion until 1941, Both provinces, however, will re- enter the corporation tax field and collect seven per cent levy on cor- poration profits for 1947. They will also increase their gasoline taxes from eight to 11 cents a gal- lon as from March 31 when the Dominion gives up the three-cent- a-gallon tax it imposed in wartime. These changes were the main ones contained, in the budgets, brought down after two provinces found they were unable to conclude satisfactory new taxation agree- ments with the Dominion to re- place the expiring wartime agree- ments of 1942. Hon, Onesime Gagnon, Quebec's Provincial Treasurer, estimated a surplus of $9,500,364 for the 1947- 48 fiscal year, with revenues fore- cast at $147,434,000 and expendi tures at $137,843,636. Surplus for the 1946-47 year was estimated at $1,131,000. Hon, Leslie RFrost, Provincial Treasurer for Ontario, forecast a surplus of $367,143, with revenues set at $166,936,451 and expenditures at $166,569,308. Surplus for 1946- 47 was. estimated at $54,000. The other six provinces--British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island -- all have flew agreements awaiting ratifica- on, Under the 1942 agreements, all the provinces gave up the income and corporation tax fields to the Dominion and received as compen- sation amounts equivalent to what Conference Results Show Quebec, Ontario Planning Alike For Surpluses each of them collected from the taxes in 1941. The agreements be- gan expiring last October and the last of them expire March 31. From August, 1945, down to the end of January efforts were made to negotiate new agreements. On Jan, 25, in what Finance Minister Abbott described as a final offer, the Dominion put forward to the provinces two new options. In return for exclusive use of the personal income, corporation and inheritance tax fields for the next five years, the Dominion offered to pay $12.75 per capita of the 1942 population, plus 50 per cent of the provincial tax receipts from income and corporation taxes in 1940, and plus the subsidies already provided for by statute. As an alternative the provinces could take $15 per capita plus the statutory subsidies. In presenting the Ontario budget, Mr, Frost said that acceptance of the Dominion's tax proposals would have been a "betrayal of the inter- ests of the province." "We are not asking any huge handout from the Dominion gov- ernment," he said. "Our taxpay- ers contribute nearly one-half of the direct Dominion taxes. One- half of such handouts will there= fore come from our own people and we recognize how unfair would be the burden which they would bear." Only with a tax productivity of about $163 per capita was being of- fered a subsidy of $17 per capita. On the other hand, Prince Edward Island with a productivity of $32.80 was being offered a minimum sub- sidy of $23.33. Premier Drew of Ontario said that if his province had accepted the Dominion proposals the Ontar- io taxpayers would have had to pay $74,000,000--the amount of the proposed Dominion subsidy to On- tario--in the income, corporation and inheritance tax fields. Instad of having to pay that $74,- 000,000, the taxpayers, through the changes in the gasoline and cor- porations tax rates, would provide $53,000,000 to their own govern- ment, This, he said, presented a "direct and positive saving to the taxpayers of Ontario of $21,000,000." Hudson Output Stops One Day ~ Detroit, April 2--(CP)--A strike yesterday at the Hudson Motor Car Company here threw 14,000 workers into idleness. A company official said the walk- out was called to protest disciplin- ing of a shop steward who did not follow grievance procedure in the firm's contract with the United Au- to Workers (CI.O.). The strike halted assembbly lines which turn out 580 cars daily. Railways' Hearing Recesses Ottawa, April 2 -- (CP) -- The Board of Transport Commissioners inquiry into railway applications for a 30-per-cent general freight rates increase stood adjourned for week-long Easter recess today, not yet at the half-way mark after six long weeks of continuous hearings. The case of the Canadian Pacific railway will not be completed for some time after the hearings ree conveffe April 9. Then the case of the Canadian National Railways and probably a lengthy summing up by batteries of legal talent for the raliways, and the provinces op- posing the increases, will be neces- sary before the commissioners will render a decision. At yesterday's sitting Hugh P. Millar, assistant general purchas- ing agent of the C.P.R. predicted higher material costs this year would send C.P.R. maintenance bills upward. He foresaw increases in coal, steel and lumber prices. Col. J. L. Ralston, Maritimes counsel, who engaged in many warm exchanges with railway law- yers during the day, and Manitoba counsel Wilson McLean, suggested the freight rates increase the rail- ways sought would have the effect of sending costs' of manufactured goods even higher. Gandi Back In Political Limelight New Delhi, April 2.--(AP)--Mo- handas K. Gandhi has returned to the centre of the political arena following weary attempts to pacify disturbed sections of Bihar and Bengal provinces where Hindus and Moslems were at one another's throats last fall. Whether he. has succeeded is a controversial proposition in India. For dreary weeks he walked from village to village in the Noakhali district of Bengal where Moslem firebrands had turned on the Hin- du minority, He talked to Mos- lems and Hindus, lived with them and preached the doctrine of bro- therhood each evening at regular prayer sessions. Moslem 'League members assailed his efforts in Naokhall as designed to focus attention on the section where the Moslems had killed Hin- dus, while he ignored a subsequent outbreak in Bihar where Hindus have killed Moslems to perhaps a greater extent. Despite criticism Gandhi con- tinued his weary trek through the villages of Bengal, until about 10 days ago when he shifted his acti- vities to Bihar. In Bihar, where it has been offic- ially estimated that 5,000 persons-- mostly Moslems -- were killed in communal riots, he preached that the Hindus should have died to prevent harm befalling the Mos- lems. The size of his meetings was evidently greater in Bihar than in Bengal, but as in Noakhali, he con- tinued to draw mixed Moslem and Hindu throngs to his prayer meet- ings. Plaintiffs Win Action For Farm In a judgment handed down by Mr, Justice E, R. E, Chevrier in Osgoode Hall this week, Jessie L. Munro, vendor, and Hardy Noble, purchaser, were granted possession of a farm in Scott Township and damages from the tenant, Franklin Hardy. ' The action had been heard in Whitby during the week of March 9, at which time Mr. Justice Chev- rier reserved judgment. A, W. S. Greer, K.C. acted for the plaintiffs, Mrs. Munro and Noble, and R. D. Humphreys, K.C. for the defendant Hardy. The plaintiffs were granted their entire claim, with costs, namely; possession forthwith, an order of eviction and an order for payment of double the yearly rent. Mrs. Munro was allowed her claim for interest on the sum of $1,500 at five per cent and on the sum of $4.- 500 at four per cent from April 1, 1946 until possession and for the amount of insurance. The claim of the plaintiff Noble for $1,000 dam- ages was also granted. = Outfit the Whole Family at Ladies!

Three Dimensional Films Make Strides In Soviet By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press Staff Writer Moscow, April 2--(CP)--Russia's movie industry is making great ef- forts in the field of three dimen- sional films and the latest one, "Ro- n Crusoe," is playing daily to packed houses in a downtown thea tre near Hotel Moscow. This development, introducing the dimension of depth to the screen in a fascinating and uncanny man- ner, may well be the focal point of future film trends and Russian movie makers seem farther ahead on the art of depth production than anyone else. I saw "Robinson Crusoe" last night and while it was impressive there will have to be improvements before these stereoscopic films can provide a real threat to the public appeal for the ordinary two dimen- sional movies. It was announced before the film | began that it was bést to sit still while watching the picture to get the best results. But even follow- ing this advice during the hours of the film showing, I found the im- ages frequently faded and went out of focus. It also was more tiring on the eyes than the films to which North American movie-goers are accustomed. But sitting there in that Rus- sian crowd I felt the same way as I did years ago when I went to my first talkie in Toronto--I think it was Al Jolson in "Sonny Boy." You get the same feeling that you were witnessing something quite revo- lutionary in 'entertainment. This new type of film gives the impression that persons moving on the screen are being projected right into the audience. Conversely the audience seems to be drawn far closer to the screen itself and the Russians were spellbound by this | new visual miracle, | Baby's Card Wool SHIRTS Sizes 08- 1-2-3 Elastic Waist 85.
