THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THRER New Zeller's Store Britain Will Strike AtEconomy Threat Slashing Imports By JACK SMITH i London, July 31 (AP)--Britain today arranged high- ' {evel economic talks with the United States in a renewed bid to stave off her looming economic crisis. [ The government's board of trade said its president, Sir Stafford Cripps, would fly to Paris with William L. Clayton, United States undersecretary : state for economic affairs and Brit- ; ish newspapers said they would con- ' sider slashing Britain's imports from America to save dollars, { - Meanwhile, the British people , took calmly disclosures that the government almost immediately would cut its armed strength, scale down the standard of living and call for longer working hours to save British economy. Fe » newspapers commented editorially on the revelations, which followed a "crisis" meeting yesterday by Prime Minister Att- lee and his Labor Members of ' Parliament, Those that did wrote ' approvingly. uw "It is high time that they (the government) took this step, though it will mean a still more austere way of life for everyone," said the Conservative Yorkshire Post, owned by the family of the former Foreign Secretary, An- thony Eden, "We are eagerly waiting to see N the government take bold steps to \ 7 1 % " + ducted by Ad Lib music magazine, the fl 2 bass. appeal to the nation's patriotism i 'and self respect." ! The Daily Express, a persistent critic of the socialist regime, did . mot comment on the home front : plans, but said "the country will , hear with no fresh alarm, but with relief, of the cuts in the size of the army ,.."" i. Neither official nor unofficial sources cou'd say immediately the precise nature of the proposals which Cripps will discuss with Clayton. f General Discussion A Board of Trade spokesman sald merely that Cripps wanted to see Clayton for "a general discus- sion of matters arising out of previous discussions." Informed sources, however, have said that Britain plans to cut down her imports from dollar areas almost at once. The slash was expected to af- fect primarily American movies and American tobacco, and there was every indication that food imports also 'would be reduced. Additionally, deepening' the "austerity" which has marked British life since the war, the government planned to withdraw some industrial products from the home market and channel them 26 Ol into the export market in order to earn dollars, informed sources said. The first of several contempla- ted government appeals for long- er working hours went out yes- terday to the National Union of Mine Workers, whose coal output is the mainspring of the nation's economy, An authoritative government source said the Prime Minister asked mine leaders yesterday to produce another 300,000 tons per week and then discussed with them ways of getting that increa- sed output. Informed sources said the min- ers appeared to have ruled out the idea of abandoning their five- day week, which the Labor gov- ernment instituted last May 6 about four months after {it brought the collieries under pub- lie ownership. Production remained below the government's targets after the new schedule was adopted, Chief Scout Speaks To Jamboree Boys Miller's Lake, N, E, July 31 -- (CP)--The chief Scout of Canada, Maj.-Gen. D. C. (Dan) Spry, last night talked to 32 Canadian boy scouts who will represent the Dom inion at the first post-war interna- tional jamboree in France next month. The boys heard the chief executive commissioner of the Boy Scouts Association advise them to "remember that you are represen- ting Canada." "QUEENS" FOR AUSTRALIA Sydney, Australia (CP). -- Six queen bees flown from California with escorts, arrived in Australia in good condition and passed quaran- tine tests. Only the queens were retained--workers and all cage ma- terial were destroyed. FIRE LOSS GREAT Edmonton, July 31 (CP).--The main workshop of the Royal Cana- dian Electrical and Mechanical En. gineers at ,Whitehorse, Y.T. was destroyed by fire Monday. Loss was estimated at between $250,000 and $500,000 In a Dominion.wide poll con- Boyd Valleau orchestra is listed in seventh place. The poll is scheduled to run until late in the year. Boyd's organization as it now « stands is the result of years of co- . operative effort by about half a dozen boys who still play in the band. Back in 1939 when high school kids were beginning to feel spine ripples at the sound of the late Glenn Miller's "In the Mbod," Boy, Bob McNab, Bob Luke, Bill 8imons and John Beaton gathered their sadly delapidated instruments together -. and formed a musical group. After playing at a post- cadet inspection dance in the O.C.VI. gym, and satisfying num- bers of hep.cats whenever they could, they were soon christened : "The Collegians." A little - diplo- » matic negotiating resulted in their getting a spot in the weekly Top Hat Swing Club where one might say, they formulated their policy ior swing. It is no exaggeration to say % that the crowds who attended the : Top Hat performances were ex- : tremely well-pleased with every jam % session, About this time, Boyd in- vested in a new tenor saxophone bi and during the past few years so many shiny néw instruments' have 2 arrived, along with dapper uniforms, that an old follower would hardly recognize the band. The most re- % ~crt addition is Bob McNab's big .casional Camelot formals. and #other club dances were played for. One New Year's eve they handled . Local Orchestra Seventh In Dominion-Wide Poll the Firemen's Ball in the Armories. They were in the Piccadilly Room for a season, Today, contracted to the Jubilee Pavilion, everyone knows the band as J] oyd Valleau and his orchestra. Usually playing tenor sax or clari. net, Boyd conducts the group. Most of the arrangements he writes him- self and numerous original "riff tunes" have come off his composing pen. In the rhythm section on drums is John Beaton, on bass, Bob McNab and at the piano Len Clapp. The sax section displays versatility plus with Ab Darch on lead alto, also clarinet and flute. Brother Les Darch does fourth sax chores be- sides clarinet and oboe. Bob Wilson plays third sax while Don Hamm does just about everything; starting with baritone sax, he plays tenor, alto, and clarinet and joins the brass with a trumpet or a trombone, Bob Luke is the regular trom- bone man in the brass section with first, second and third trumpets be. ing handled by Bill Simons, Doug Creighton and Steve Salmers res- pectively. Steve takes some of the vocals. Miss Shirley Harmer contrbiutes her lovely voice to the popular songs as does Walter Scott who thri the most critical of his listen¥rs with his terrific rendition of "Ol Man River." fhe orchestra has come a long way since those days when the idea developed and with popularity proven by a poll, they can go a great deal further along the highway of Canadian swing. s r~ i LANES The main floor which has been entirely renovated presents a "big city appearance". The new lighting through the entire store is one of the outstanding attractions and newly installed air-conditioning equipment is being much appreciated, particularly these Zeller's Oshawa Store is now approximately 10,000 square feet, double the floor space of the previous store, _photos by Cam Has More Than 10,000 Square Feet . . .'Air Conditioning and New Lighting Are Prominent Features The new Zeller's Store on Simcoe Street South is attracting crowds of [entirely new.

Philip Mountbatten at 'a Privy Council meeting at Buckingham Palace. Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe attended for Canada. The King has already given his consent to the betrothal in the offi- cial court circular. Today, as re- quired by the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, he gave his consent to the marriage. The ceremony was brief. Lord President of the Council Herbert Morrison read an Order in Council. The King bowed and sald "ap- proved." Others Present Others present included The King's brother, the Duke of Glou- cester; the Archbishop of Canter. bury, Primate of All England; Prime Minister Attlee; Conservative leader Churchill; James Stratford, former chief justice of South Africa; New Zealand high commissioner William J. Jordan, and Australian high commissioner John A Beasley. At the conclusion of the meeting, The King sent a telegram to the governors-general, his personal rep- resentatives in the Dominions, ask- ing them to communicate his ac- tion to their respective councils--to the Privy Council for Canada, in the case of Canada, and to the exe- cutive councils in the case of the other three Dominions. More Preliminaries Two more essential preliminaries to the Royal marriage were carried out by The King after the Council. He signed an instrument submitted from the Home Office setting out | his consent to which the Great Seal of England was afterwards affixed. The King also sent a warrant to the Archbishop for the wedding. It is understood on the highest authority that The King's action at the Privy Council meeting is not properly described as giving his consent to the marriage of the heir- ess to The Throne. The position was that the Princess, like any other descendant of George II, petitioned The King to allow her to marry. The Council had to be held as a legal rather than a constitutional necessity. Must Be 25 A high constitutional authority said after the Privy Council meet- ing: "The Royal Marriage Act of 1772 provides that descendants of King George II who have not at- tained the age of 25 shall not be capable of contracting matrimony without the previous consent of the sovereign signed under the Great Seal and declared in Council. "Princess Elizabeth being' one- of the descendants to whom the Act applies, the consent of The King declared in Council is a necessary legal preliminary to the marriage of her Royal Highness. "At the meeting of the Privy Council held at Buckingham Pal. ace today His Majesty formally gave his consent to the marriage under the above action in the customary manner." ; EXPERIENCE COUNTS Experienced gardeners often raise two tp five times as much food as beginners from gradens of the same size, Zeller's New Store Is Popular With Patrons "The new renovated Zeller's Store on Simcoe Street South has created considerable attraction to both the citizens and visitors to Oshawa since our opening last week," sald Morley Wyman, Ma- nager, to The Times-Gazette. "The spacious floor and new dis- play and counter fixtures, togeth- er with the new improved light- ing, makes shopping much eas- fer," he said, "and favorable comments are continually reach- ing us. I would estimate that our store traffic has increased three or four times since our opening." "Zeller's" have great faith in Oshawa, Our organization be- lieves that Oshawa is designed to be a much greater city than it is at present." "Consequently," said Mr.. Wyman, "we had no hesita- tion in spending large sums of money in improving our store here, We are gradually adding a much larger inventory, making it possible to present to the people of Oshawa, all the facilities avail. able in a modern department store, Our range of merchandise this fall will be considerably en- larged over anything that we have presented in the previous years." . "I should like to take this op- portunity. of extending my ap- preciation to the people of Osh- awa who have shopped at our store during the period of recon- struction, under many handicaps and, in regard to our staff, words will not adequately express my gratefulness, They have been most co-operative through a very trying period." "And finally we came to the day when we opened to the pub- lic, Our messages were carried to the people through the columns of The Times-Gazette. We were more than pleased with the re- ception that we received from the general public. I would like to mention that the policy to be fol- lowed now, will be that each week, on a regular basis, the news of Zeller's shopping advan- tages and bargains will be car- ried in The Times-Gazette and we urge everyone to make it a regu- lar habit to read our advertise- ments and keep posted on what is available over Zeller's counters," concluded Mr, Wyman. Mr. Wyman, who has been in Oshawa for six years as Manager of Zellers' Store, is a very popu- lar citizen, having taken his place in the community in an ad- mirable manner. He has, apart from his position as Manager of Zeller"s Store, played a promin- ent role in the Victory Loans, Welfare Drives, The Retail Busi- ness Men's Association, The Chamber of Commerce and many other activities, Both Mr, Wyman and Oshawa may well be proud of the magnificient new store on Simcoe Street South, Girl, 3, Is Drowned, Fell in Cistern Toledo, Ont., July 31 -- (CP) -- Three-year-old ~Thelma Whiting was drowned in a cistern at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs, Willlam Riley yesterday when she fell through an open trapdoor.

West Coast Tuna Fishing Is Fairy-Tale Bonanza By PAUL HURMUSES Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, July 31--(CP) -- Accounts of 'iiry-tale bonanzas to be had in a new Canadian in- dustry are being told by tuna fish- ermen who ply the rich Japanese current off the west coast of Vancouver Island and bring home catches worth up to $7,500 after only 12 days on the Pacific, An exclusively United States enterprise until a few years ago, tuna fishing now is luring Brit- ish Columbia , fishermen with prices up to $460 a ton. Biggest catch of the season was hauled aboard the Troller Rosalie III, owned and skippered by Capt. Norman Ryall of Vancouver, who Monday pulled into Seattle with a staggering 15 tons of tuna, now the United States' number one canned fish. Formerly the only fishing grounds of this 15-pound mack- erel-family delicacy, whose meat resembles chicken, was off southern California, Mexico and Central America, Recently however, the fish, in- current. cluding yellowfin, skipjack and albacore varieties, have been mo. ving steadily north and this year the first recorded catch in B.C. waters of one type--the bluefin tuna-y-was taken, In one of the three methods us- ed dn catching tuna, operators of clippers varying from 90 to 130 feet in length and capable of carrying up to 200 tons, toss out live bait, unhooked. When the school of tuna get a taste of the lure they start a bit- ing frenzy snapping at every- thing, including the bare hooks then thrown out, Seiners use the same purse nets as those used in salmon fish. ing and the third method is to use small trolling boats. Included in the crew on a re- cent voyage of the troller Fisher Boy, with Captain Clarence Sim- mons of Vancouver as skipper, was Simmons' 16-year-old *'daugh- ter Joyce, Although violently seasick the first day out she did her share to land 10,000 pounds of the finned gold, . a R.C.A.F.
