Garden Hints By The Oshawa Horticultural Soclety . The weather we've had the lat- ter part of this week doesn't put one in much of a mood for think- ing about planting his dahlias, but the danger of frost will soon be past (we hope) and that is the time to plant the dahlia tubers. But first let's look into the Dah- ia's history, 'The Dahlia 1s a native of Mexi- co and was first discovered a lite tle. less than 100 years after Co- lumbus first set eyes on the Wes- tern Hemisphere, It wasn't till about 1789 that plants and seeds finally found their way to Eu- rope, and eventually to the gar- den of Andreas Dahl in Sweden, after whom, because of his exten- sive work with them, the plant was named. When dividing the clumps of tubers before planting, each in- dividual tuber must be cut so that it contains a "rowing eye or sprout, These are planted six inches deep and about 36 inches apart. The distance apart depends of course, on the type of Dahlia being planted, The above spacing is required by the large types, but the smaller flowering kinds, such as the pompom, can be planted much closer, By driving a stake in beside each tuber planted, you run less risk of breaking the tiny roots as would be the case if you waited till the plant was up. The May meeting of the Osha- wa Horticultural Society is this coming Monday night in the Cen- tre Street School auditorium at 8 p.m, wken the Brooklin Horti- cultural Society will be our guests. The speaker will be Mr. IL. W. Peér of the Canadian In. dustries Ltd., who will show two films entitled "Gardens of Plen- ty" and "The Lives Of The Three Most Destructive Insects." With the latter film Mr. Peer will tell the history and discovery of D.D, T, Also at this meeting is a daf- fodil show, We hope there will be a couple of warm days before the show so that a lot of the daf- fodils now in bud will be open. If on Sunday, some of your daf- fodils have broken the ends of their paper tunics, you can have them open in 24 hours by cutting them and bringing them into the warm house, This does not affect the size or coldr of the bloom, RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL Shirley Elliott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, William Elliott, 398 Bev- erley Street, who was severely burned when a bus was burned fol- lowing an accident at Brighton last November 8, returned home from the Sick Children's Hospital, Toronto, today. Shirley was con- fined to the Belleville General Hos- pital" following the accident. and was taken to the Toronto hospital on February 2 where skin grafting Fun Parade Show At Arena Monday Night Everybody in town is talking about the Fun Parade S how, with Roy Ward Dickson in person, that is coming to the Arena on Monday night. The big show gets und erway at 8 p.m. sharp but the doors open at 7 p.m. to let in the crowd. With the huge accommodation of the Arena, there are still good seats left for last minute buyers if they hurry. Over $1000.00 worth of valuabl e prizes will be given away during the show. With Few Materials U.K. Cuts Home Plan Britain, sapped by two wars and a great depression, is fighting for her national existence in an unprecedent- ed economic crisis. This is one of a series of stories giving™ Canadians a detailed picture of the crisis, its causes, effects and the bat- tle being fought to overcome it. By JOHN DAUPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer London, May 2--(CP)--Build- ing materials are so scarce in the United Kingdom that Prime Min- ister Attlee's government has had to lop 100,000 workers from con- struction's 1947 labor force al- though millions need new homes and industry needs new factories to reach post-war production goals, Timber, structural steel and clay products are the main short- ages 'in that order, Almost all the United King- dom's lumber must be imported and this year's deliveries will be no more than three-quarters of the minimum need, It is a short- age that will last for years. The 1947 goal of 240,000 permanent houses and 60,000 temporaries will have to be revised, "Production of steel, bricks, composition tiles and other mat- erials is far below normal, "Scarcity of materials is a ma- jor obstacle to the 1947 building program," sald Attlee's ecoppmic White Paper last month," an- nouncing the government will limit construction manpower to 1,300,000 .this year--100,000 fewer than was originally plan- ned. And yet delay in rehousing a nation badly battered during the war has consistently brought the government much criticism. Not so long ago Health Minister Bev- an said he was "frightenéd" by the slow rate of building in Lon- don, Repairs Delayed The industrial situation is a little better. Since 1939, all but urgent repairs to factories have had to be delayed. Many plants were wrecked by the enemy. Old machinery wore out and could not be replaced. Modernization must be carried out if it is to compete with that of foreign countries after the post-war '"sel- lers' market" disappears. Last year a normal pre-war 12 months' work of industrial equip- ment and maintenance was done and this year there will be an- other 15 per cent increase. But industrialists claim this is not nearly enough. i of shortage of build- ing materials, machinery and po- wer to run new factories, howev- er, strict control { being main- tained on the whole capital equip- ment program. "Otherwise," said Attlee, "the building and engineering indus- tries will be jammed, and not even the work of highest priority will be done, The exercise of this control may postpone some schemes which are in themselves great social value, but this is un- avoidable." Only one type of factory build- ing will have top priority--on a par with raw materials, fuel and machinery, That is building in the so-called "development areas" where new factories are being rushed up to make new jobs, TWO-TINE ANTLERS The antlers of the Maral, a Pers- ian deer, always terminate in more than two tines. ong boots, been done, o ° Branch Supervisor NORMAN G.

Canadian--Held Youth Checked Paris, May 3.--(Repters) -- Ca- nadian authorities have taken into custody 24-year-old William De- vane, who last week was rescued off the American freighter Benjamin 3 Hm, hoping to paddle to Eng- nd. "If he is a Canadian we will have to send him back, if not he will be- come a problem for the French police again," a Canadian spokes- man said. Devane said he came from Montmorency, Que. It was stated that he was being sheltered rather than jailed, pend- ing a check with Ottawa on his claim to be an R.C.AF. veteran. He told the French fishermen who picked him off his improvised raft that he was drying to get to Leeds, England, to join his girl friend Gloria Scinnow, whom he met during the war.

GREENE, 361 Buena Vista St, Phone 575 OCCIDENTAL LIFE Canadian Head Office LONDON, CANADA es, J Tickets Still Available For Fun Parade At the time of going to press today there were still tickets, and | some good ones too, available for | the big "Fun Parade" show which takes place Monday at the Oshawa Arena. The show is scheduled to start at 8:00 o'clock sharp on Mon- day night and the doors of the Arena will open at 7:00 to accom- modate the crowds. One of the best known radio shows in Canada, the "Fun Parade" is coming to Oshawa after a record breaking performance in Montreal where the huge Forum was sold out to the largest crowd in its history. The big drawing card of the "Fun Parade" shows is the giving away to people in the audience, grand prizzs ranging from cigars to wash- ing machines. Over $1,000.00 worth of these prizes will be distributed on Monday night to the lucky people from the audience who will be called on to come to the stage and also to other people who are picked in no definite manner, The Kinsmen Club, who are sponsoring the "Fun Parade," have done much hard work im advertis- ing and pushing the sale of tickets. With many unfortunate elements to contend with, the Kinsmen are still hoping for a sellout crowd. . Pro- ceeds from the event will go right back to the purchase of playground equipment for the kiddies of Oshawa. - CONVENTION BROADCAST Recordings made at the opening ceremonies of the Ontario Music Teachers' Convention in Hamilton last month will be broadcast over station CKDO tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock.

YESTERDAY 'The Commons heard Agriculture minister Gardiner say the govern- ment was still considering exten- sion of the Prairie Farm Rehabili- tation Act; heard External Affairs Minister St. Laurent say govern- ment plans for establishment of a Canadian Commission for U.N.E.S. C.O. still were under study; heard Health Minister Martin say ar- rangements were being made to have the provinces enter agree- ments with Ottawa to fulfill old age pension legislation requirements; heard Harry White (PC--Middlesex East) suggest immigration from the Orient should be on a quota basis; heard T.

Alexander | Spends Hour At Press Club Toronto, May 23 (CP).--Viscount Alexander, currently visiting To- ronto, spent more than an hour yesterday at the Toronto Men's Press Club. The Governor-General's visit was at his own request--he's one of the members. When he heard from members within a few minutes of the decision that the first week of racing in Toronto this year--the Greenwood Club's meet at Woodbine--had been cancelled because of a dispute over purses, he expressed keen disap- pointment. He hoped that the King's Plate would be run as scheduled May 24 hecause he said he'd been invited to attend that running and was keen to do so. His Excellency also told members he would check his datebook and if it was at all possible he would like to go on the club's fishing trip to Algonquin Park May 30. The Governor-General chatted with many of the members, played an "exhibition game of cribbage" and left with the word that he'd be back again sometime. Auto Production Up This Week Detroit, May 3.--(CP) -- Ward's automotive reports today estimated this week's output of passenger au- tomobiles and trucks in the United States and Canada at 107,967 units. This figure, the survey said, has been exceeded in the post-war per iod only by the 108,472-mark set in the week ended March 22, 1947. Last week's output was 102,447. This week's production included 3,590 cars and 2,145 trucks assembl- convention. ed in Canada. Scotia. Say N.S. Deal Near, Drew, Duplessis Resistance Wanes By D'ARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, May 3 (CP)--Sources close to the govern= ment said last night they expect "early settlement" of the differences which so fa. have hindered new taxation agree~ ments among the Dominion and Ontario, Quebec and Nova The sources, saying that Cabinet ministers were unwilling to commit themselves, stated they understood negotiations leading to new agree- ments were being held at official but not Cabinet level. Since last Monday, they said, there have been new indications that agreements were imminent. In the case of Nova Scotia, they pointed to Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King's announcement today that the federal by-election for the vacant Halifax seat will be held July 14. The seat has been vacant since last November. Some opposition members have claimed that the reason for the delay in calling the by-election was the reluctance of Nova Scotia's Premier, Angus Mac- donald, to accept the federal gov- ernment's terms for a new agree- ment, Even Liberal members have said it would be difficult for Mr. Mac- donald to support a federal Liberal candidate if he was at odds with the Dominion Government on tax- ation agreements. The sources said that Premier Drew of Ontario and Premier Du- plessis of Quebec were not dealing directly with Finance Minister Ab- bott in agreement negotiations. However, their information was to thé effect that officials ofthe three governments below the Cabinet rank were holding talks. To support their statements, the sources Said that Premier Drew and Premier Duplessis had been practi- cally silent in recent weeks on the qlestion of Dominion-Provincial re- lations. When the Premiers had mentioned the subject they did so in "very moaerated" tones. in the Quebec Legislature Mr. Dup- lessis had askea members not to throw oil on the Dominion-Provin- cial fires. The Premier, they said, declared that one could not cone tinually insist on rights without be- ing prepared to assume the duties which those rights entailed. They said that business firms in Ontario and Quebec were beginning to feel the pinch of the lack of new taxation agreements. In Ontario and Quebec the provincial corpor- ation tax had been fixed at seven per cent, In provinces which have agreed to negotiate agreements the tax was five per cent. As well, the sources said, Mr. Drew and Mr, Duplessis felt their arguments in ravor of provincial autonomy were "petering out." While the two Premiers had ar- gued in favor of decentralization they apparently had, said the sour- ces, overlooked the fact that most of the Canadiam industrial wealth was centralized in Ontario and Quebec. In an election campaign, for ine stance, the two Premiers could be charged with supporting centraliza~ tion of wealth while calling for dee centralidation of taxation author ity. Elections In Q said the sources, are likely to come about June of next year , CN THE DAILY TRIBUNE Toronto, May 3.--(CP)--Toronto's new morning newspaper, The Daily Tribune, came out yesterday with its first issue. Publication was scheduled to start May 1, but press trouble brought about a one-day delay. The paper was formerly a They said that in a recent debate weekly, The Canadian Tribune.
