Quick Action Saves Trio From Fire Stirling, Ont, May 7--(COP)~The quick action of passing motorists who gave the alarm when they saw flames shooting from the home of Pred Martin, farmer residing four miles northwest of Stirling and 20 miles from Belleville shortly after ten p.m. last night, probably saved the lives of three people asleep in their befls at the time. The motorists Stanley Royal and Ray Sine, neighbor of the Martins, leaped from their car and rushed into the blazing building in time is syears ,old invalid daughter of the family and Clifford Lelire, a cousin, resid- ing at the Martin home. Miss Martin was taken from the home in a wheel chair. 'The house, a modern frame struc- ture, was destroyed and only a few of the contents were salvaged.

Conservatives (Continued from Page 1) understanding and co-operation of all Conservatives. James MacBrien talked briefly of the Ottawa scene and particularly of the fact that it appeared the Government seemed bound to break up James Maodonnell's rid« ing to the north of us, in which case Uxbridge Township and Scott Township, plus Uxbridge town would be added te our riding. In closing the meeting the chairs man, Grant Christie, expressed the opinion that never before had the farmers of Canada expressed such an unanimous desire for a governs ment under the leadership of Mr. Bracken.

While recognising the price a e maintained that the millions of dollars the federal government paid out in milk subsidies and in family allowances gave Ottawa a direct interest in the subject. He moved that the Senate's na- tural résources committee ascer= tain by official inquiry how much the milk-producing farmers of Canada secure for their product less than five cents a quart and how much the milk collectors and distributors secure better than 10 cents a quart." Senator J. J. Donnelly (PC-- Ontario), chairman of the com- mittee on resoureés, said such an investigation would cause "great expense," mixed farmers would have to be called wo Ottawa tes- tity at a bad time, and the Onta- rio commission had probed the whole subject and would report next month, However, if the Sen- ate passed the motion, the com- mittee would do all possible to fulfil its purposes, Senator Arthur Roebuck (L-- Ontario) said, in a general way, he supported any "effort to at. tack the cartel which I suspect is engaged in the distribution ef milk." M.B.Dulmage Dead at 73 Owen Sound," May 7--(CP)-- Marcus B. Dulmage, 73, associate editor of the Owen Sound Sun- Times, died suddenly in hospital last night after a brief illness. He had beén in failing health for several months, Native of Belleville, Ont., Mr. Dulmage learned the printing trade in the office of Sir Macken- zie Bowell there, He served on newspapers in New York and Michigan and in 1908 became composing room foreman of the Guelph Herald. In 1912 he join- ed the editorial staff of that newspaper and in 1924 moved fo Owen Sound, Active in sport and fraternal organizations, he was for a nums ber of years secretary of the On- tario Amateur Baseball Associa« tien, He is survived by his widow, the former Helen Mitchell of Guelph, and three sons, Elmer, now in newspaper work in New York; George, city editor of the Pete. jorough =~ Examiner; and Jack, night sports editor of the Windsor Daily Star. Barbara Ann (Continued from Page 3) such an extenuating circumstance might clear up the matter." Learns Decision He gave the opinion after being told that Barbara Ann's mother, Mrs, Clyde Seott, had announced the car would be returned to the donating city so her pretty 18-year- old daughter would not be ruled in- eligible for the 1948 Olympic games. Whether Barbara Ann keeps the car 'will depend on the ruling of J. S, Edstrom, president of the ---international Olympic Com- mittee at Stockholm, who reques- ted the Canadian Olympie Asso- ciation to forward a report on the matter, Brundage had filed his objection to the skater accep- ting the gift with the president of the international body, Canadian Statement A statement by the Canadian Olympic Association after a clos. ed meeting here yesterday said the committée had brought to the attention of Mrs, Scott the Olympic rules regarding amateur status,and had been informed by her that Barbara Ann would "take steps to return the auto- mobile" immediately on retufn- ing to the Capital from & visit in London, Ont, The committee expressed the Association's anxiety "to protect the eligibility" of Barbara Ann for the 1948 Olympic "anl also her amateur status." The Associa- tion had sent a complete report to Edstrom. Unselfish At London, in confirming that the car would be returned to the donors, Barbara Ann sald "it would be selfish of me to keep the car and lose & chance to bring honor to Canada at the Olympic games." The skater said earlier she thought the "Americans want to get rid of me for the Olympics," while her mother charged that the American Olympic committee was "trying to oust" her daugh- ter from the Olympics in order to enhance the chances of Gretchen Merrill of Boston, who placed third to Barbara Ann in the world championships at Stockholm, New Angle A new angle was introduced by C. H. Cumming, past president of Ottawa's Minto Skating Club, who said that if Barbara Ann were de- clared a professional because she accepted the car, all amateur skaters who competed against her at the North American champions ships in Ottawa recently also would lose their Amateur stand ing and therefore be barred from the Olympics. H explained that under the amateur code any amateur con- testant who entered into competis tion with or against a profession. al can lose his or her amateur standing, LAND TRAVELLER, TOO Although a water mammal ani mal, otters can make lengthy over land journeys. x It's a 'Hoppicopter' vid v Do you want to get away from it all?

Redistribution Suggestion | Is Adopted By Committee Ottawa, May 7. -- (CP) -- The Commons vedistribution committee has adopted on division -- without a formally recorded vote -- recom- mendations for changes in the boundaries of federal electoral con- stituencies in Manitoba. The changes may mean that Jolin Bracken, Progressive Cotiser- vative leader, who now represents the Manitoba riding of Neepawa, | will have to find a new riding. Under the committee's recom- mendations Neepawa will be join ed with Portage Ila Prairie, now held by C. C. Millet, a Projressive Conservative. Thus either Mr. Bracken or Mr. Miller weuid have to seek a new seat unless commit- tee's recommendations are reversed by the Commons as a whole. The recommended Manitéba changes were submitted by Far- nend Viau (L-8t. Boniface), chair- man of the Manitoba suZ-commit- tee, to the main committee which has been striving for several weeks to carty out thé provisions of a bill to increase Commons memberships from 246 to 266 members. With Manitoba, Nova Scotia and British Columbia reports adopted at the day's sittings, only the re- port of Saskatchewan remains to be dealt with, 'The Nova Scotia report also was adopted on division aftér members voted 9 to 7 against an alternativ report, . Under the bill, Manitoba, through | a loss of one seat, will have a re- | presentation of 18. Also changed would be the ridings of Macdonald, | now held by Gilbert Weir, govern- ment chief whip in the Commons, and Lisgar, held by Howard Wink- ler, a Liberal, which would be join- ed together. A new constituency sof Norquay would be created in the city of Winnipeg. Afthur Ross (PC-Seuris) said he had never and could never agree to amalgamation of the Neepawa and Portage la Prairie seats. He said the reasons were obvious. His sug- gestion had been that Macdonald riding be eliminated and divided among six other constituencies, However, this could not have re- lieved the situation in Selkirk which had a po tion of 56,000. However, he felt that as Prime | Minister Mackenzie King's riding of | Glengarry--the smallest in Ontars io-- had been left unchanged, it might have been possible to leave unchanged the seat of one "who 'may be the next Prime Minister of Canada." 6 Meet Death In Ontario Toronto, May 7--(CP)-- Six persons met death in Ontario Yesterday from a variety of mis< aps, two being fatally burned. Mrs. David Boucher and her nine-year-old son were burned to death at their home at Britt, 60 miles north of Parry Sound. The body of John Hamilton, 71, was found in Lake Ontario near here .and Leonard Dusome, 22, was drowned when his canoe capsized near Penetang, The death of five-year-old Car- ol Lytwyn at Windsor was due to coal gas fumes and at Toronto 79-year-old 1da McLean was kil- led when struck by a streetcar a8 she wag crossing the streét, Music Festival (Continued from Page 1) In the second of these, each phrase had a shapeliness of its own and at the same time remained a part of the song. The last was remark- able for the intelligent treatment of thé words. The first part of the program was concluded by Pspestor T. R. Me- Ewen who spoke briefiy. A piano solo, Schwarwenka"s "Polish Dance" was played by Miss Ruth Skinner (Grade 8, King Street Bchool) skilfully and enthusias- tically. That one of the aims of the school music course is to acquaint children with the best 6f musical literature was shown by the choice of songs for a Grade 5 class from King Street School. This group sang in translation two lieder by Brahms and Schubert: "The Little Sandman" and "The Thorny Rose." Grade 8 from Centre Street con- tinued the program with Mozart's "Welcome to Spring" and "The Robin's Prophecy" (Johnstone). Work with changed and change ing boys voices was demonstrated by "Blow the Man Down" and "Vesper Hymn," sung by a Grade 7 class from Ritson School The guest soloist for the evening Was Mrs. E. G. Storie, a former pupil of the Oshawa Public Schools, "A Dream," (Greig) and "A Swiss Echo Bong" (Eckert) were given with competence and charm. In response to the audience's enthusi- asm, she sang again. The Grade 7 Festival Choir made its second appearance with "Hunte ing Song" (Moffatt); "Music Every- where" (Johnstone), and "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" (Bach), The second, a two-part canon for equal voices might have been more ef fective from the antiphonal stand- point had each of the two sections contained both altos and sopranos. In the Bach, the treatment of the words was again outstanding. Mrs. B. C. Colpus brought greet- ings from the Oshawa Board of Education. after which a Grade 7 class of unchanged vocies (South Simcoe School) sang "Lord of Love" (Beethoven), and !Gently Evening Bendeth" with good tone-- and ama:w.fig concentration! The highlight of the evening was a four-part graduation choir from all Grade 8 classrooms that sang Schubert's "Slumbér Song," a' sea chantéy, "Heave Ho My Laddie" "Ten Little Indians" and "Fairest Lord Jesus." Mr. Young very wisely placed his tenors and bases at the front so that their tones would not be obscuréd by the more firmly established voices of the altos and sopranos. This choir, like the Festival Ohoir, displayed musicianship as well as accuracy: its phrasing had flexibility, the clis maxes of its songs were well pre- pared and the students sang with obvious enjoyment. Mr. Young was ably assisted at the piatio by Kelvin James whose accompaniments gave unobtrusive support to the choir and at the same time had artistic value of their own. In addition to the class téachers who were directly responsible for the training of the individual choirs, there was a commjttée that looked after' the organization of the concert. All concerned are to be congratulated for apart from the musical worth of the program it ture, Calls Film Board 'White Elephant' Ottawa, May 7T-- (OF == G, K. Fraser (PC-Peterborough West) told the government in the Cot. mons last night it had a "real white elephant that eats more than you ever saw." The elephant, he sald during the budget debate was the Nats fonal Film Board, which are aske ing this year for $861,000 more than its appropriation of a year ago. He agreed that perhaps the board was doing "some good" iu providing films for schools but said he thought the method of processing film was too costly to warrant this produétion. , GRAIN LOOKS PROMISING H.

One is Harry 8. Ham- ilton of Sault Ste. Marie. Ont, a forter federal member and a for- mer president of the Ontario As- sociation, who was looked on for a time as a strong possibility. Ane other is John Robinette of Toronto whose name was mentioned at one stage, : Acute Bread Shortage Eire's Fear By PATRICK QUINN Dublin, May 7 (Reuters). --There will be an acute shortage of bread in Eire by the end of June unless the new world comes generously to the rescue. With about 10 per cent of im- ported wheat added to the Irigh- grown article, the present ration of six pounds per person a week can be maintained to the end af June. The bread position has not been so uncertain for more than 80 years and many are conjuring up memories of "Black 47. Just 100 years ago this year the greatest Irish famine in known history oc- curred. More than 3,037, 200 out of a population of aro: 8,000,000 died of hunger or disease or fled the country. The trek to the United States and Cahada was enormous. Though hardship may confront Eire this year, everybody knows that the horrors of a century ago dould not be repeated. Even if the bread ration had today to be cut by 75 per cent nobody need die of husger in Eire, though there un- doubtedly would be -hardship and inconvenience. Eire has f large surplus of some of the essJatial foods, irrespective of the weather. She only consumes now about 25 per cent of her beef. Great Britain gets the balance. Fifty per oent of the egg produc- tion is exported. Failure of the potato crop is now almost impossible. If the worst should happen in the bread situation, the govern- ment would be obliged to step in and control other food supplies and less would be available for Great Britain. Cemetery Lot Rate Increase Seen Possible Possibility of an increase in rates for lots at Union Cemetery was un-= der consideration today after a meeting of the Cemetery Board of Governors. A sedond meeting ill be held within two weeks to dgoeide on any upward revision follow dol- lection of data on the average cost of digging and Ubkeeep per lot, board members agréed. Dr. W. H.

Medical evidence by five wit- fiesses completed the plaintiff Hughes' case this morning. Skull Fracture Caused Death Dr. O. J. Austin of Enniskillen, who attended at the scené of the ac- cident, said Mrs. Hughes was dead when he arrived. He attributed death to a fracture at the base of the skull, . Referring to evidence that Mrs, Hiighes' head came into contact with the windshield at the time of the first impact, A. W. 8. Greer. counsel for Hughes, asked if the in= jury deséribed was consistant with this type of blow. "It would," the dootor replied sta- ting that it wotild also be consistant with her being thrown out, striking hér head on the road, as a result of the second impact, = The doctor said the injured wo- man would not necessarily lose con- sciousness immediately after receiv- ing the type of fracture he found. "The first accident could have caused it and the second accident could have caused it, you can't tell which", he added. Dr, Vernon Storey of Bowman- ville, the first doctor to arrive at the scene of the accident, also said Mrs Hughes died of a fractured gkull. In cross-examination by counsel for the respective transport firms 'he said it would be possible for either blow to cause the injury and the more forceful one would not necessarily be the cause. Suffered Number of Lacerations Dr. B. A. Hodgins, who treated Frederick Hughes in Oshawa after the accident said there were a humber of lacerations on the face and the eye was swollen. Leonard Hughes, he said had contusion of the left eye, a number of small lacerations and also a back injury. Dr. John Brock, dentist," who treated Sally Hughes, aged 8, said her four lower front teeth were driven back about 456 degrees. He said the one tooth would eventu= ally have to be pulled. Dr. A. K.

He said he was driving at 28 to 30 miles per hour on the south half of the road and saw the Terminal Warehouses transport approaching on the north side of the road about 200 yards away. Mr, Hughes went on to say that as his car and the transport wete about 100 yards apart, he saw a oar in the driveway on the north side, start to baok out. "It was moving slowly and jump- ing up and down in the snow," he said with regard to this car. "1 proceeded easterly and as the truck got close to the driveway it swerved to the north side of thé highway. Then the car stopped and went ahead quick," he testified. "The truck then came across to my side of the road. I put the brakes on and got over to the edge. I think my two wheels were off the pavement when the truck hit me." When his car came to rest, it was facing south-east, he said. - Asked about his wife's injuries at this time, Mr. Hughes said: "I asked her if she was hurt very badly and she just looked | around at me and smiled. She was sitting up in the front seat." "I got out the left door and walk= ed around to the front of my car," he continued. "There was a space of about four feet between the Ter= minal Warehouses truck and my oar. "I had just got around to the right front fender and was going to open the door to let my wife out when the Burford truck cathe and hit the car just behind the gas tank." Wife Thrown Qut When the collision took place between his car and the Burford transport his wife was partly thrown out, her head and shoulders! resting on the road. He added that he thought she only lived about five minutes afterwards. Mt. Hughes' brother, Léonard, and the two children had alfeady got out of the car. Ih the aceident his two-yeas-old son, Ronald, suffered a broken leg, and his daughter, Sally, aged 8, re- ceived a broken jaw. Mr. Hughes himself received less severe injuries including cuts about the éye. ? In crosssexamination by G. W. Adams, counsel for Terminal Ware- houses, Mr. Hughes sald the car in the driveway did not come out on the highway, the rear bumper com- ing to within about two feet of the edge of the pavement. * To a question by R. R. McMurtry, counsel for Burford Transport Ltd. he sail it seemed as if his éar was thrown back several feet by the im- pact with the Terminal Warehouses vaste. #His wife, he said," Was thrown forward against the wind shield. He estimated that about three minutes elapsed between the two collisions with his car. : Leonard Hughes, who was riding in the baok seat of his brother's caf, said he heard Mrs. Hughes scréam ° and then saw the transport in front of them, on the south side of the road. After the impact he had gone to the Vetzal house and was there when he heard the next crash. Re- turning to the highway he saw the Buriond transport. Gordon Hughes, a brother of the plaintiff and a motor car salesman, estimated the value of his brother's car, prior to the accident, at ap- proximately $700.
