Ohituary MRS, MARY C. BLACKMORE The death occured suddenly at the home of her sister, Mr. C, C. Stenhouse, in Toronto, on Saturday, January 31, of Mrs. Mary Catherine Blackmore, beloved wife of the late Carlton Arthur Blackmore. The de- ceased was a former resident of Mrs. Blackmore is survived by three sons, Carlton C., Kenneth and Donald. Also surviving are her mo- ther, Mrs. H, A. Wright of Tampa, Florida; five sisters, Gertrude and Jean of Tampa, Florida, Mrs. C. C. Stenhouse (Lily) and Mrs. 8. Mer- cer (Lottie) of Toronto and Mrs. 8. Graham (Reba), 44 Colborne Street East, Toronto. The funeral was held from Brown Brothers Funeral Chapel, Toronto, on Sunday, February 1, The serv- ice was conducted by Canon F, W. wilkinson of St. Paul's Anglican Church. Interment will be at Chat- ham today. The pallbearers were her three sons and three brothers-in-law, C. C. Stenhouse, S.

If we don't do that we are not worth being in this government Declaring again his personal shame for failure to save Gandhi's life, the Prime. Minister, who was one of the slain man's closest asso- cates, declared: . "It is a shame to me as an In- dian that an Indian raised a hand against him, It is a shame to me as a Hindu that a Hindu should have done it to the greatest Indian of the day and the greatest Hindu of the age." Earlier, at the services beside the Jumna, a throng of 5,000 marched quietly as the ashes were sifted carefully. One object sifted out was handed to Nehru. Witnesses specu- lated that it might have been one of the bullets which struck Gandhi down Friday night. Later a close adviser to the Gan- dhi family said the object was not a bullet. He said it might be the charred remains of a steel pin someone had thrown into the fire, Gandhi's bones were picked from the ashes during the service and put into an urn. The ashes were pour- ed by hand and with a garden shov- el and clay scoops, into sacks. : The remains were left to be pick- ed up by military lorry and hauled away to await final 'disposition. The flowers around Gandhi's funeral pyre were carried off to be cast into the Jumna. ¢ Crowd on March Socialists marched through New Delhi shouting clogans against the militant Hindu Maha Sabha, the organization some blamed for Gan- dhi's death. Many carried staves and clubs. They were orderly. Hindu was set against Hindu by Gandhi's assassination. Unofficial estimates were that at least 50 had been slain in rioting since the pistol killing of the 68-year-old patrist. Home Minister Sardar Vallabhai Patel told correspondents last night that he, Nehru and Education Min- ister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad had been marked for murder by a group decrying leniency toward Moslems. The Mahatma's ashes were gath- ered up this morning in reverent funeral rites in the burning ground where he was cremated Saturday. Leaders of the ceremony said all ashes and unburned bones would be taken later to Birla House, where Gandhi died, and kept there in pots to be scattered Feb. 13 in the Ganges. Both the Ganges and the Jumna and holy to Hindus. Gentle fingers separated the bones from the ash and dipped the unburned fragments in the red earthen "and brass pots. In these pots were water and the milk of the cow, held to be sacred. Hindus believe the water purifies and the milk nourishes the departed spirit even in heaven, Gandhi's son, Ramdas, performed the rites with the help of a pandit (learned man) and others, Mobs Are Active The ashes lay in an oval mound on a brick platform. Incense sticks thrust into the edges sent smoke toward a clouded sky. Mobs formed in this city today when reports of the assassination plot spread. Rifle fire was heard. Mobs attacked members of the mil- itant Hindu Mahasabha (Great Hindu Organization) during the week-end, Gandhi's accused assass- in was reported by police to belong to the party. Patel, India's chief law enforce- ment officer and so-called "iron man" of Nehru's Congress Party, told correspondents the conspiracy was under investigation and arrests were being made. He urged the Desi xo} to take the law into their own hands Patel would not say whether Gan. dhi's death had resulted from the plot. But another high govern- ment official indicated the Home Minister knew it had. "There is ample evidence that we were marked to be liquidated," Pat. el sald, "because a certain group believed we were making too many concessions to Pakistan and Mos- lems generally." India and Pakistan were created British dominions in a split of the Indian sub-continent last Aug. 15, Gandhi had fasted and pleaded in an effort to allay Hindu-Sikh-Mos- lem strife that followed, The Hindu Mahasabha criticized him publicly for that, The organ- tion seeks an India with a legal code rooted in ancient Hindu relig- WS, combined in the office of Township | joc 1a Police Chief A.

May Handle Building Permits It is expected that the new engi- neer's department will assume re- sponsibility for handling permits and it. was suggested by Councillor Neil Fraser, K.C, that one man in the engineer's department could handle the duties of weed inspector, "I certainly hope more time is devoted to the elimination of weeds," remarked Councillor Down, pointing out that action in this di- rection would achieve two objectives, (a) eradication of the weeds them. selves; (b) make snow removal much easier with the elimination of weeds now clogging the roadsides. * Council decided to study the ques- tion again at its regular meeting next Saturday after consultation with Chief A.

At right is the hostess, Mrs. Henry Glecoff, standing at a coffee urn which was a relic brought to this country ~--Photo by Campbeéll's Studio With Canadian Naturalists By The Canadian Press The courtship flight of owls--a phenomenon very few bird lovers have the good fortune to observe-- has been seen by a man who lives in Credit Valley, just west of To- ronto, and reported to a neighbor, Mrs. Cornell Mitchell, naturalist and author. A nair of snowy owls--the malg an immaculate white, the female a larger and darker bird--had been wintering in the .fields near his house. They spent the chilly months in well-defined territories about half a mile apart. On a late March evening how- ever, they approached each other in the same field. At dusk, but while the sky was still clear, the two owls suddenly took wing and "rose gradually... up the clear stair of eternal sky." As they as- cended they "fought!" thay is they came together, grappling and tumb- ling in mid-air. Then, when they reached a great height, though still in excellent view of the watcher in the field, they set their course northward toward the semi-polar tundra, and, flying side by side, vanished from sight. They have not been seen since and there can be no doubt that this was a "courtship flight" culminat- ing in migration. This takes place hundreds of times every season among many species 'of birds; but it is seldom that the birds, the time, the place and the intelligent watcher are on hand with such happy coincidence. Five thousand acres in extent, the Royal Forest at Windsor, England, during the war supplied about 300 tons of timber every month for the construction of military camps, air. fields, air-raid shelters and the thousands of bunks which furnish- ed them. Altogether, there are about 3,000,. 000 acres of woodlands in the Bri- tish Isles, and the Canadian Fores- try Corps handled a substantial share of woodcutting therein wher importations from Scandinavian and other sources were cut off. But the Canucks did more than tree-felling. They planted literally millions of seedlings and saplings to replace the trees sacrificed to me needs of warfare. en in peacetime Canada was taking the lead in helping to refor- est Britain.

Of course the public already knows the story's just a bit of folklore, but a large fraction of it still doesn't credit the groundhog with being of much eco- nomic importance. It's only recently that wildlife experts have concluded Monota monax (the chuck's society monic- ker) is playing a big role in main. taining the wildlife cycle. He digs burrows that cottontails are too lazy to dig for themselves and which snowshoe rabbits can't dig anyway. Those same burrows shelter a lot of pheasants and other game birds and animals seeking any old port in a storm during winter gales and Scores Visit (Continued from Page 1) the EF.T.S. building on condilion that the C.R.A. would move it to the city.

The groundhog is pretty fair eat. ing -- much better than the storied porcupine. Most of us wouldn't care for a. steady diet of woodchuck, but while his food value for humans is inconsiderable, he does save a lot of those cottontails and snowshoes, and he does very little damage.. Some- times he invades a farm garden and makes off with some vegetables and eats tops of others, Few farmers complain of him. By furnishing free housing and refuge for foxes, pheasants, mink and a lot of other creatures, the groundhog plays a big role in pre- serving the balance of nature and conserving the outdoor picture. He furnishes sport for the target shooter, but he shouldn't be killed indiscriminately as a pest, which he certainly isn't.

B. Jolliffe, Ontario CCF leader, declared here last night. n Canada, Mr. Jolliffe told a CCF Forum meeting, the Liberal party leaders "because of their own incapacity, want to tie this country to Wall Street for all time to come." The Liberals had embarked on .| 8 policy of "integrating the Cana- dian economy with the American" and the prominent position given to the dollar crisis in connection with this policy .was merely "a polite way" of making Canada "an ap- pendage" of the American econ- omy, he charged. Mr. Jolliffe said the Progressive Conservatives, for many years strong boosters of the British Em- pire connection and loyal to a "con- servative Great Britain," had now swung away from the British tra- dition and were "looking south- ward to the stronghold of so-called free enterprise." Echo of Republican Sentiment "Tory speeches" in Canada sounded more and more like an echo of Republican party sentiment in the United States, he said. In the other direction, the Labor Progressive party, like Communist parties throughout the world, was solely "an instrument for the for- eign policy of the Soviet Union." Only the CCF in Canada, the party of democratic socialism, of- fered an alternative to the clash- ing ideologies of Moscow and Washington, Mr. Jolliffe asserted. The Ontario CCF party leader said people who were "mesmerized" by the military and economic pow- er of the United States and the Soviet Union should realize that both these great powers were ac- tively seeking allies and satellites --concrete proof that meither held the wholehearted support of the rest of the world. "The great majority of the world's people do not look for leadership to either Washington or Moscow." Those nations which had chosen democratic socialism -- such as Great Britain, New Zealand, Aus- tralia, the Scandinavian countries --didn't want "any part" of either the police rule of Russia or the monopoly rule of the United States, he said, Almost 500 million people in In- dia and Pakistan had looked to Gandhi, "not Harry Truman o: Joe Stalin," for leadership .and in- spiration, while millions in China and suffering Europe were moti- vated by utterly different political aims than those set up as ideal in either the U.S, or Russia. The spectacular nature of the conflict between America and the Soviet Union tended to overshadow the potentialities of democratic so- cialism with its twin aims of indi- vidual freedom and economic col- lectivism through social ownership of the country's resources and its great "wealth-producing institu- tions." © But, Mr. Jolliffe emphasized, people should not allow their thinking to be governed by "what happens to be the most spectacu- ar." Appeal To Oppressed Soviet Communism had a definite appeal to the oppressed peoples of urope, Asia and Africa, he said. Communism made its strongest ap. peal to the masses in Asia and Af- rica who for several hundred years had been "mercilessly exploited by European and American imperial- ism." Yet, Mr. Jolliffe continued, Rus- sian Communism, which was sup- posed to be a dictatorship of the proletariat, had actually developed into "a military dictatorship of a committee of the Russian Commu- nist party." As for the American dream of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" under the banner of free enterprise, it had ° "boiled down" to political and economic rule by men whose headquarters was "much more in Wall Street than in Washington." In an open discussion which pre- ceded Mr, Jolliffe's talk, A. G. Shultz, newly-elected president of the CCF Ontario Riding Associ- ation, said unemployment was ris- ing ominously in many Ontario municipalities. Stories about job openings should be read carefully he advised, with particular atten- tion paid to whether they were ac- tually vacancies or attempts at re- placement. Unemployment figures, particu- larly among workers in the over-40 bracket, might soon reach a peak where municipalities would be forced to call for additional wel- fare aid, he said. This whole picture of threatening job scarcity was in contrast to Liberal party election promises of "jobs for all" in 1945. Times Gazette classified ads pay -- Why not try one today.

The broadcast, quoting a Tass 5News Agency dispatch, said Ruse sia sent a note to 'Walter B. Smith, United States Ambassador, last Friday demanding that the neces- sary instructions be issued to stop the actions which produced "legiti~ mate resentment on the part of crews and passengers of Soviet streamers." Saturday, a later Moscow broads cast said, Russian Ambassador Ivank Sadefaikov handed to the Ir. anian government in Tehran a note asserting that activities of the American military mission in Iran , constitute a threat to the Russian frontier, which adjoins Iran to the north, The note, according to a Pravda dispatch from Tehran, said Ameri- can officers were directing the erection of fortifications along the border and that American advisers were directing the building of aire fields there. The dispatch declared that tours by American advisers of border dis- tricts, "ostensively" for the purpose of inspecting Iranian Army units, were "in actual fact. . for the pur- pose of making photographs and making a military study of the Sa. viet-Iranian frontier." New English Movie Portrays Crafty Widow The portrayal of motherhold on the screen seldom departs from a ri. gidpattern. American films there is either the starry-eyed, agitated kind (call. ed Mom) who know there's some good in their boy even though he has killed several men and wronge ed several women, Or the leathery, cow-voiced kind (called Maw) who rule the ranch with a rod of iron. In English films mothers are usu. ally gg brave and restrained that you sometimes wonder how some of them ever brought themselves to the point of becoming mothers at all. v It is a refreshing change there. fore to have The Woman in the Hall a mother who is in every way a tho- roughly bad egg. : Widowed, and with two daughters to bring up, Lorna Blake has the idea of turning begging into an or. ganized business. Working systematically through Who's Who, she makes regular calls on rich people with one of her daughters and tells a hardluck story making enough money out of this work to educate both daughters ex- pensively. She gets away with i until one of her victims happens to be a friend of the man who is ale N hard-luck story; and her lounger | daughter reveals the effect of her upbringing by stealing. At this point probability has to be stretched by the author( G. B, Stern) until, frankly, it snaps. And, for 'that matter, even before this stage it doesn't do to wonder too closely how the police have failed to catch up with Lorna. But this is a case for overlook ing the implausibilities of the whole and enjoying the parts. Ursula Jeans plays Lorna with a splendidly vicious relish, Cecil Parker infects all his scenes with that delicately ironical comedy in which he is in a class by hime self. And Jean Simmons, blooming like a 'young rose, confirms her place among the few potential interna. tional stars unearthed by the Brie tish film industry CAUSE OF BOILS Boils #re an infection caused by the micro-organism = "Staphylococ cuss pyogeness .
