Smoke caused damage throughout the house and the lower story suf- fered some water damage. Furni- ture belonging to the Etmanski's was nearly completely destroyed in the kitchen and bedroom.

Cardinal Requests Catholics To Stop Drinking For Lent Toronto, Feb. 9--(CP)--A call to all Roman Catholics of the Toronto Archdiocese to abstain from alcholic beverages 'during Lent was made Sunday by James Cardinal McGul. gan, Archbishop of Toronto. Cath. olics here said it was the first time the point had been so strongly stressed in the traditional Lenten appeals, Reports from elsewhere in the dominion indicated that it was not a general appeal. The call from his eminence however was read Catholic pulpits here in the form of a pastoral letter and was pub. lished in the Canadian Register, of. ficial church organ, drawing ex. pressions of approval from leaders of other denominations. The call was made on the eve of Ash Wednesday which this week opens the Lenten season, His Pminence declared in the message that '"'ever-increasing con. sumption of such (alcoholic) bev- erages together with the growth and spread of so-called 'social drinking' are the causes of serious in to individuals and to fam. es.' He declared further: "The story of sin and misery directly attribut. able to excessive indulgence in In. toxicants shows the need for Unit. ed, earnest effort to better the sit- uation." At Winnipeg Archbishop G. Mur. ray, head of the Winnipeg Arch. diocese, said no specific appeal to abstain entirely from alhohol Lent had been made to Winnipeg Catholics. Church officials at Cal. gary said also that while advice against over.indulgence during Lent might be given there, no stringent order regarding drinking would be made. The same sentiment was expressed at Edmonton and Vancouver, where the appeals were particularly to youth. Cardinal McGuigan"s appeal brought immediate support from Rev, Dr. C. E.. DeMille, General Se- cretary of the Ontario Temperance Federation, who said at Toronto "I am thrilled to hear it." Rev. Dr, J. W. Macnamara Secretary, of the Presbyterian Church Board of Ad. ministration, said "I would go fur. hes Yay, Hierdly abstaining for , bu a te dat move in the right a ETE Tondon -- (OP)<-A flaw in the dialling system sometimes results in going direct in lowing the dog's bark and discover- in [f Dog In Well 37 Days Loses 38 Pounds, Lives Perth, Feb, 9--(CP)--Nigger, a black spaniel, was back in home of his master, Garnet King, today, quite a bit thinner but otherwise none the worse for spending 37 days in an abandoned well, The dog disappeared on New Year's Day and for the last two weeks, children and residents had heard a dog barking but had pald little attention. Then two children approached a half-demolished stone house fol. ed the dog at the bottom of an old uncovered 10-foot.deep well, still alive, Nigger was brought up by a young lad who was toed to a rope by Pro- vincial Constable J. E. Grubbe and lowered igto the well. The dog trot ted to the ro~d and made his way back to his master's house--a mere 17 pounds of his former 55. An amazed veterinary, called to examine the animal, said twenty. four days were suppoled to be the limit a dog could live without water. King St. (Continued from Page 1) in the world. Not a Barrier . "But we do not look on it as a block, a barrier that is going to hinder," he declared, 'but we see beyond it something that is going to happen," a "We see beyond it to the day of-| redemption, when racial hatred will be eliminated," he added. What made the cost and anguish of heart endurable was the "sheer Christian confidence" that God has a purpose, that it is at work, and that for which life blood was given was not in vain, Choral Service The service was predominantly choral with the choir singing the anthem "Souls of the Righteous" by Noble and the guest soloist, Miss Winona Denyes, of Toronto, sing- ing two selections, "The Company of Heaven" by Besly and "How Lovely are They Dwellings" by Liddle, The organist, Matthew Gouldburn, played Bach's "Arloso" during the offertory and as a postlude, "Acliiev- ed is the Glorious Work" from Haydn's "Creation." Another special service took place in the evening, when Rev. E. S. Lautenslager, minister of Howard Park Church, of Toronto was the guest preacher. The anthem by the choir was "Green Pastures" by San. derson and Miss Denyes sang "Abide With Me" by Liddle and "The Be. atitudes" by Malotte, Mr. Gould- burn played a brief organ recital at the conclusion of the, service and on Wednesday evening, - Frederick C. Silvester, F.C.C.O., organist and cholr master of Bloor Street United Church, Toronto, will be guest re- citalist. . Choir Loft Renovated Along with the installation of the new organ, the choir loft of the church was renovated, placing the pulpit immediately in front of the organ screen. The new instrument is a Casavant model with three manuals and a total of 30 stops. The organ committee, appoint. ed in 1946, was composed of An- thony Scott, chairman; L. V. Beoth, secretary; P. A. Langmaid, J. A, Coleman, George F. Shreve, E. J. Luke, H., M. Brooks and L. M. Souch. Plan | Expansion For South Isle - Of New Zealand Invercargill, N.Z.--(CP)~T.c bodies in the South Island of Ne Zealand have decided to campaig: | for bringing immigrants, tourists, industries and overseas air termi. nals to the south to counteract the flow of population to the North Is- land. A major population shift to the north has been in progress in New Zealand for many years. Settlement began in the North Island early last century but the Maori Wars, which were largely confined to the north, and the discovery of gold in the south soon produced a much larger population in the South Island, During most of the formative years of the new oclony the South Island was the dominating partner, centre of much of its wealth and source of a great part of thé finance Begin New Trial In Mowder Divorce Action Another chapter in the prolong. ed litigation between Alired C. Mow=- der, Claremont storekeeper, his wife Elsie B. Mowder; and Robert G. Roy, Toronto antique dealer, opened to- day .when the second hearing of a divorce action brought by Mowder began in Whitby before Mr. Justice G. A. Gale, The new trial had been ordered by the Ontario Court of Appeal fol. lowing dismissal of the action last March by Mr. Justice E. R. E. Chev- rier./The case had been heard at that time in the absence of the de- fendants when the latter left the courtroom on refusal by His Lord. ship to grant an adjournment. At the same time a similar action com. menced by Mrs, Mowder was dismis- sed, Counsel sald today that she has since commenced a further action.v Prior to the divorce proceedings the plaintiff Mowder had beén giv- en judgment in an action for allen. ation of affections against Roy. The latter subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada but his appeal has not been heard. Today Mowder was represented by A. F. Rogers, in place of A. W. 8. Greer; K.C., who had acted for Mowder throughout the greater part of the proceedings, Andrew Brewin appeared for Roy and John Osler for Mrs. Mowder. On the request of Mr. Brewin, His Lordship ordered the witnesses to be included but he did not make a final order in connection with Mr. Rodger's application for the co-de« fendant to be included while the defendant was giving evidence. The plaintiff, Mowder, was in the witness box when court recessed at noon, Acquitted (Continued from Page 1) and had observed marks on the roadway leading up to the over- turned car. He said that the marks led from the east side of the road diagonally across to the west ditch, Constable , Fred White, investi- gating officer, told the court that when he arrived at the scene he had found Gauthier dead, the car overturned in the ditch, two hy- sterical women and the accused suffering from a severe cut on thé wrist. White testified that he had measured "drift marks" for a dis- tance of 465 feet north of where the car overturned. He said that the marks drifted from the east side 'of the road toward the centre line 'and back to the east to a point where the "car apparently hit a culvert on the east side of the road, went out of control and over- turned in the west ditch. White said Oullette had told him of being blinded by the headlights of an approaching car. He said he had pulled over to the east side of the road when the lights of the approaching car appeared to swerve to the west side. Oullette said he turned the eat back to- ward the west and "remembered nothing more." Had Been Drinking Constable White said it was ap- parent -that Oullette had been drinking but that he was not 'in- toxicated. : In cross-examination A. W. S. Greer, K.C., counsel for Oullette, brought out the point that it was possible that a car had approach ed from the south without leaving any outstanding, visible, marks on the roadway. In answer to a question by Mr. Greer, Constable White said his final measurements were from the culvert to a large gouge in the roadway and then to the over- turned car. He said there were no marks leading' directly to the over- turned car. Following the completion of the crown's evidence, Mr, Greer ad- dressed the court, declaring: "As the evidence now stands it is pure- ly a case of conjecture, There is no mention of drink affecting Oul- lette's driving, The accused says he was forced aver to east side of the road .by an approaching car; the car apparently hit a culvert and went out of control." "There is no evidence that the accused was driving in a danger- ous way," he submitted. Following a brief adjournment Judge Coleman announced his ver- dict of "not guilty." Judge Cole- man stated that the onus was on the crown to satisfy the presiding judge or jury that the accused was guilty. ; "I am of the opinion that the crown evidence falls short of what is necessary to satisfy the trial judge, There are unusual circum- stances in this case. There is no evidence that the accused was in- toxicated." Judge Coleman stated, that he was not satisfied that the accused's story. was true but it was unlikely that anyone would really know exactly what did happen. The south was also looked on as the educational and cultural headquar. ters of the colony. In 1881 the South Island, with a population of 296,355, had 60 per cent of the country's in- habitants. Yet the dominance of the south has steadily declined. Early. in the present century 'the populations of the two islands became equal. The , North Island has steadily gone fur- ther ahead and today has 1,146,202 people, against 556,000 in the South Island. Withh 67.3 per cent of the population and a large proportion of the country's industries, the North Island today. completely overshad. ows the South. Varied reasons have been given for the remarkable change. The one most widely accepted is that the warmer climate of the Nortia Island has proved more attractive. The North Island is nearer other centres of population and the establishment there of more fully-developed ports and the terminals of overseas air services has tended to hasten the flow of population to the north.

The answer for most of them is, it won't be long now. There now are 19 television sta. tions on the air in 13 cities located in nine states and the District of Columbia. Sixty-one other sta- tions have construction permits. When they go on the air, television then will be available in 47 cities in 28 states and the District of Columbia. And at last count, there were 80 applications on file for still other stations. This doesn't mean teleyision will come overnight to most of the country, It is largely a question of how fast stations can get equip- ment and install it, and how many new permits are granted by the Federal Communications Commis- sion. The demand both for tele. vision transmitting equipement and for home receivers appears likely to exceed the supply for some time to come. Stations now on the alr regular. ly are: WMAR.TV, Baltimore; WBKB, Chioago; WLWT, Cincinnati; WEWS, Cleveland; WWJ.TV, De. troit; KTLA, Hollywood, Calif.; WTMJ.TV, Milwaukee; WABD, WNBT and WCBS-TV, New York; | WFIL.TV and WPTZ, Philadel phia; KSD.-TV, St. Lous; WRGHB, Schenectady, N.Y.; and WMAL. TV, WI'TG and -WNBW, Wwashing- ton. Experimental stations W6X. AO of Los Angeles and WOXZV.of Chicago also are in operation. Because many of the stations going on the air in 1948 will be in areas already having one or more stations, only about 10,000,000 more persons will be brought within range of television. In 1940 the spread is expected to be 'much greater as stations start springing transmitting equipment and more receiving sets, manufacturers are greatly expanding their television production facilities. Last yeas, 178,000 television sets were turned cut--a big gain over 6,476 of the previous year but still only a com. parative handful. Industry leaders forecast 500,000 to 750,000 sets this year with much greater output in 1949. A Although higher-priced sets are selling as fast as produced, manu. facturers are devoting major atten. tion to trying to bring prices down to mass market levels. Prices now range up to $2,500 and more dor deluxe sets with large screens, and down to $169.50 for table models with seven.inch picture tubes. Some manufacturers have promised even lower priced sets a little later but the $100 set is not yet in sight. Industry leaders expect net. works to develop along regional lines, with an eventual linking of eastern, mid-western and west coast networks into coast-to.coast hookups. Television broadcasters are agreed that 1948 is television's year. Some predict it will reach $500,000,000 proportions before the year is oud and that in five years--10 at most --it will attain the status radio en. joys now. In time, they expect television to attain . perhaps five times radio's billion.dollar.a-year stature and to have a ound ef. fect on the nation's entertainment, education and economy.
