Hope to Have Arena Ready Next Winter obourg, March 10--Cobourg's re. creation centre may become a rea- lity by next winter, according to Ro <i' Holland, chairman, who said his building committee had looked over plans with the architect and it appeared that the building could be built for $100,000. Witl. installa. tion of artificial ice the total out. la; would be $140,000, The framework would be of struc. tural steel with cement foundation and cement block wall to tha eaves. The roof sheeting would be guar- anteed for ten or 20 years. The com. mittee believes 'the ice pipes will function satisfactorily if 'covered with shallow cement. The essential factor at the mom. ent is the financial help of citi. zens, "Ine ratepayers have agreed to a corporation contribution of $50,000, the balance to be raised by subscription.

Junior Radio Drama Group Inaugurated Al boys and girls or collegiate students interested in, taking rart in radio program activities are ask- ed to get in touch with CR.A. at once. Groups are being formed under the leadership of Dorothy Henry and production will commence im. mediately on junior radio scripts. There has been considerable de- mang for this activity and arrange. ments have finally been completed for Miss Henry to be on duty each afternoon from 2 to 5. Colegiate students will meet from 2 to 4 on their free afternoons, and the boys and girls will attend after school from 4 to 6. Times and dates will be more definitely settled when the groups get started. A number of very fine scripts are already available through courtesy of CKDO and CBC. Len Peterson, outstanding author and playwright, 'hose work appears regularly over e CBC network, has given per. mission for the use of some of his scripts by the Oshawa C.R.A. group. A special story hour for children is also being arranged to start in the very near future. This will be of special interest to boys and girls of pre-school age. 1st 3rd 1st BOY IS KILLED Kingston, March 10--(CP)--Sev- en.year.old Edward Thomas Dav. idson, was killed Tuesday when he slipped under the rear wheels of a city bus from which he had just stepped.

Drynan Mother Of 6 Faces Trial For Murder Timmins, March 10--(CP)--A 32- year-old Iroquois Indian woman who came to this northern Ontario gold-mining town as a bride in the early '30s will stand trial for mur- | der in the axe-slaying of the man who won her hand in a bushland | courtship, Mrs. Clara Irene St. Cyr, sandy- | haired mother of six young chil- | dren, was committed for trial after | preliminary hearing yesterday be- | fore Magistrate Siegfried Atkinson. Nervously fingering the plain gold wedding ring which Jerome St. Cyr once placed on her left hand, | she heard police describe events surrounding the death of the 34- | year-old laborer whose throat-slash- ed body was found last Friday in a darkened bedroom of the dingy tar- | paper shack the family occupied. Constable A, Guolla of the Tim- | mins police department said he and Sgt. G. Beacock talked to Mrs. St. | Cyr at the home of her brother, Art Rice, early Friday. Constable Guol- la quoted her as telling him: "I done away with my husband." "I asked her, 'with an axe?' " continued the Constable. "She said "Yes! » The officers drove to the five- room shack, in which the fire in| the Quebec heater had gone out. Twelve-year-old Robert St. Cyr, the | couple's eldest child, met them at the door and told them: | "Daxddy's asleep and I can't wake | him up." .o i Only one light burned in the house. The officers used flash- ! lights to search the squalid rooms. In a front bedroom, as if asleep, on | a blood-stained bed lay the body. A search of a shed at the back of the house revealed a blood-spatter- ed axe. \ Stress Need (Continued from Page 3) ment. As early as 1932 or "33, the engineers of the H.EP.C. foresaw the need for the use by Canada of a greater volume of international water, and the northern part of the country was carefully examined for suitable waters that cowid be di. verted to the Great Lake System. This resulted in the Ogoki diver. sion, This development caused wa- ters that normally flow into Hud- son Bay to be diverted so that the flow would enter Lake Superior. This added 4,000 cfs. to the Great Lakes, which was purely' Canadian water, and could be taken out at any point of the system desired. A later diversion named the Long Lac added another 1,000 c.f.s. These di. versions made possible the develop- ment at De Caw Falls. As you know, DeCaw Falls is between St. Cathar. ines and Niagara, Here we take 4,000 cfs. of the water that was placed by ourselves in Lake Super. ior. There is a very interesting com- parison on this development. There is an old plant built by the Hamil. ton Cataract Light & Power Com. pany, The first unit installed in 1989, an dthe last in 1912 has now nine great units housed in a long building and supplying a total of 50,000 h.p. This is, of course, operat. ed and owned by the HEP.C. The new plant now has two units hous. ed in a very small, compact, modern building, producing 140,000 h.p. So does science advance. The Long Lac diversion has made possible the construction of a great paper mill and town site as Terrace Bay on the Agaasabon River. The extra flow caused by this diversion has made it possible to: develop power to provide this plant and town site with the means to oper- ate. The plans were conceived by engineers 10 to 15 years before it was possible to put them into oper- ation. We must remember when we are oonsidering developments now | under way, that there was a period from 1939 to 1945, when everything that was undertaken had to be un. dertaken in the light of the neces. sity to diverting every activity to- wards the essential of winning war. In one department alone of the H. EPC. there is presently employed 500 engineers of technicians and draftsmen. What would have hap. pened had an attempt been made to take this number of scientifically trained men from the Planning De. partments, Production Departments, which were producing armaments, vehicles, ships and aeroplanes. As a matter of fact, to place the DeCaw Falls project in operation at as ear- ly a date as possible, without inter. fering with the war effort, a tur- bine at Abitibi Canyon was disman. tle dand. brought down from that far north point to the Niagara Pen. insula, 80 that the manufacturer would not be diverted even tem. porarily from his other war activi. ties. Each of the five branches of en- gineering are represented in the great development work now in progress in Ontario, Chemical, Mining, Civ{l, Mechanical, and Elec. trical, There are other big works being undertaken that effect the business life of each of us. An ex- ample taken from the mining in. dustry, and I use a gold mine; not the biggest one, one that in 1946 preduced something like 6 million dollars in bullion, In preducing this pamount of gold, this firm surglies to the extent of 1% million dollars supplied by 315 Canadian firms and 15 firms from the United States. In addition to this important addition to the business life of Ontario, the mine paid 2% million dollars in wages. In 1946, our exports amount. ed to $277,000,000. So that you may ride in compa. rative comfort on'ttie highways of | this Province, covering distances | that were not dreamed of by our | grandfathers in the horse and bug. | gy days, engineers in the employ of | the Provincial Department of High. | ways designed bridges and roads and carried to successful conclu. | sion the construction, in 1947, 56 | million dollars worth of highway. | This construction campaign, and | of course I have just touched the | fringe, brings dollars into the poc- | kets of each of us, but it brings even more than that, it is our as. | surance of the future, it is our as. { surance of a better way of life. Now, in Ontario, the ing School Pressure Pattern Flying Perfected By RAF Group By DONALD FRASER London, March 10 --(Reuters)-- Royal Air Force navigational ex- perts have issued their verdict on | Royal Air Force Lancasters which ended a fortnight ago. They said that flights to polar regions now are routine and present no abnor- mal hazards. The Lancasters, acting as flying classrooms for 18 expert air navi- gators taking a post-graduate spe- cialist course at the Royal Air Force's Empire Air Navigation at Shawbury, Shropshire, flew from Shawbury to Gibraltar and then in a giant circle mnorth- wards into the Arctic and back to Scotland, . Among the navigators on the flight were Flt. Lt. Robert Baynes | of Ottawa) veteran navigator of a | Canadian Pathfinder Squadron | during the war, and Flt. Lt, Bruce | Cameron, of Toronto. , { Between Gibraltar and Reykjavik, their only landing places, they tried out a new system of air navigation i tern flying is a way of called pressure pattern navigation. Used occasionally, "chasing tailwinds" by varying the -altitude |'a 5,500-mile arctic flight by seven |to fly at a constant pressure. The aircrgft thus ensures a continually favorable wind , lengthening the distance covered over the groun but reducing the airmiles and time in the air. Success of the system was proved when the Gibraltar-Reykjavik flight, which should have taken 11% hours, was completed in 10% hours, From Reykjavik, the Lancasters flew to Jan Mayen Island, Bear Is- land, and then back to Scotland in a l4%-hour flight sufficiently far into the Arctic Circle to try out po- lar methods of navigation evolved on North Pole flights by the Lan- caster research plane Aries in May, 1945. A new system of plotting called grid navigation was perfected dur- ing the flight, and now will become standard practice for the R.AF. in high latitudes. profession is controlled by the As. sociation that it is my privilege to represent, In each of the Provinces of Canada, with the exception of Prince Edward Island, there is a Statute which governs the practise of engineering and the use of the term 'engineer". Similar Statutes exist in each of the States of the Union with the exception of the District of Columbia. To practise as a Professional Engineer, or to term oneself an "engineer" in On. tario, one must be registered with the Association of Professional En- gineers. To qualify for such regis. tration, one must be a graduate of a recognied School of Aprlied Sci- ence, and have five years engineéer- ing experience, or have five years engineering xperience, and write the examinations of the Associa- tion. To the end that no young man who shows brilliance in his early days, but is for any reason prevent. ed from attending University may be lost to the community, provision is made for articling to a Profes- sional Engineer until he has gain. ed sufficient knowledge to write the examination of the Asscciation, The profession is governed by a Council elected partially by the members of the Association, and partially appointed by the Lt. Gov- ernor in Council, Shortage Is Fortunate Today we are unfortunate, in that we in Canada are suffering from a shortage of Professional Engineers, even. though there are in Ontario registered over 6,300. But we are particularly fortunate in that the future holds for us a satisfactory supply of ability. In the next four years, there. will emerge from the schools of Applied Science in Cana. da 15,000 young men training to en. ter the enginneering profession, Gentlemen, we need these young men. On paper and in addresses, it may sound like an excellent thing to send our young men to other countries of the world to assist them with their progress. We are a young country, seemingly on the thresh. old of the greatest expansion we have ever known. We require all of our young ability. It can be retain- ed in this country by offering it opportunity. 15,000 young men emerging from engineering schools. From these you may select the men who will carry out the research that is necessary to your business. From these you may select the men who will apply the research of oth- ers to your business. From these you may select your future Executives. An engineer training, is a training in factual and logical thinking, that can be applied to any type of busi. ness. Members of Kiwanis Clubs are men who have been successful in their own line of business. They are also men who have a mission. The mission, the living up to the ideals of, and thre advancement of Kiwanis, The young men who are emerging from University are the Kiwanians of tomorrow. They are confident that they can attain this success by the use of their own ability and training, but they ask one thing of you--opportunity, I suggest to you gentlemen, that it is the privilege and duty of each of us, who in any way influences the employment of others, to provide the opportunity that will keep our ability within our own boundaries. Must Exercise Duty "One final thought. Members of service clubs do, by their member. ship, clearly show that they each have a very high understanding of their duty to the community. Pro. fessional men, by reason of their professional activity are definitely tied into community life, There is a task today that each must accept. It is my opinion that at this very nstant we are at war. Not a shoot. ng war, but a war of diplomatic conversations; a war of nerves; a war of the dollar; a war of the supply and distribution of the es- sentials of life; a war to remove from the faces of little children the fear and anguish caused by their experiences; and a war to bring back roses to the gaunt cheeks of these children of war torn lands. By no means a shooting war, but all the essentials are there. The duty that rests on the shoulders of each of us is as community leader to di- rect the thoughts of others in safe sane channels to promptly stamp out the talk of irresponsible radi- ¢a's. If need be, to hold meetings of our friends and ensure that dis. ruptive ideas are overwhelmed by constructive thoughts produced by | ourselves and our friends. In short. | to so lead community thinking that | nowhere will irresponsible tongues be given the opportunity = to set alight "the fuse that will lead to general conflagration. Gentlemen, if we do not accept this responsi- bility, I fear that ahead lies disas. ter, but if we co accept, and in full measure 'discharge our responsibil- ity, there can be little doubt but that ahead will be peace and pros. perity, such as we 'have never known before. MONTH FOR BEGGING \ Charged with hregging, Cb Davidson, no fixed abode, was sen- tenced to one month in the ceunty | Jail by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs here today, rles LJ Bill Would Make Husband Support Deserted Family Toronto, March 10--(CP)--A bill | resigned to make it easier for On- tario courts to force husbands - to support deserted wives and children was given first reading in the legis- lature yesterday. One of the 10 bills introduced by Attorney-General Blackwell, it will eliminate need for bringing the de- serting husband back to Ontario. Instead all evidence in "the case would be sent to the court nearest the husband's place of residence. It also provides a three-month maximum sentence for a husband who fails to satisfy the court that he cannot pay the maintenance of his deserted wife or children. A second bill will enforce' main- tenance orders issued against ser- vicemen living in Ontario who have wives and families outside the pre- vince. This applies to other jurisdictions which have reciprocal legislation, including the United Kingdom, Brj- tish Columbia, Alberta, Saskatche- wan and Manitoba. An amendment to the commis- sioners for taking affidavits act provides that barristers, municipal treasurers, heads of municipal councils, reeves, Deputy-Reeves of all towns and controllers and alder- men may take affidavits in their respective districts. Under an amendment to the no- taries Act, the privilege as a notary public is automatically voided for any barrister who is disbarred or any solicitor struck off the roll, E. B. Jolliffe K of C Speaker E. B. Jolliffe, leader of the C.C.F. Party in Ontario, was the speaker at a well attended meeting of the St. Gregory's Chapter of the Knights of Columbus last night. The guest speaker was introduced by Albert C. Love. Mr, Jolliffe gave a very interest- ing and enlightening address on "Social Security and Freedom," emphasizing that a strong United National Council would go a long way toward winning peace. Social security must go hand in hand with social freedom. He gave for illustration the con- ditions that exist under a proper system such as New Zealand has acquired. The mortality rate, due to their hospitalization plan for new-born infants an'mniothers, is the lowest of any country in the world today. The satisfaction of the . people with their daily life having security and freedom is the one sure way of thwarting Communism. He pointed out that a happy and con- tented nation makes poor hunting grounds for the spread of Com- munistic propaganda. Charles E. Egerer, on behalf of the Knights thanked the speaker for his fine address which was fiotaugnly enjoyed by all the mem- Jers. - Breezes Are Warm At Atlantic City Atlantic City, N.J.--With Spring and Palm' Sunday arriving almost. together, this resort has an auspic- ious start for one of the finest sea. sons in the year. Despite the early Easter Season, thousands of visitors who come to Atlantic City in the Spring know that the weather is delightfully mild here and the sun warmer weeks earlier than in the surround- ing cities. TThe Easter holidays | have been planned for extensively | in the three Fetter family hotels, The Jefferson, The Monticello and The Boscobel, under the General Manager, John E. Fetter. At the Jefferson, as always, onc will find comfortable ac¢ommeda. tions with meals of exceptionally high standard, if desired.

Riots At Burwash Blamed In Probe' On Administration | Toronto, March 10--(CP)--Dis- | satisfaction with fodd, housing, long | | hours of work nad lack of recrea- | tion and medical care were the |'chief factors resulting in the dis- turbance at the Burwash industrial farm near Sudbury, last October. . This was disclosed in 'thé repdrt of Commissioner Stuart K. Jaffray to reform Institutions Minister Dunbar, tabled in the legislature yesterday. 3 Responsibility for the outbreak of the riots "is clearly on the adminis- tration and not on the inmates," the report said. | The commissioner reported "a. gradual weakening of the adminis tration under the previous superin- tendent" and the heavy adminis- trative load "which piled up on him and finally clogged the administra- tive process to the danger point." He added: "The: pressure for this explosion has been building up for some time, but particularly for the last two years, True : there are - certain troublemakers among the inmates as in every penal institution . . .. but with good administration their effectiveness would have been mini. mized." : He said responsibility must be shared by the previous superintend- ent, under whom the disturbances took place, and by the Department of Reform Institutions. "The impossibility heavy adminis. | trative load is the inevitable result | of failure. of the Ontario govern- | ment. (the present government and previous governments) to provide sufficient senior administrative staff." Legislature (Continued from Page 1) were dfrected at the remarks of Premier Drew last wek that many trade unions were being overrun by Communism. . N The Liberal leader described the government agricultural program as "anaemic" as outlined in the throne speech, a . The" government, he said had started its program by setting up a county committee and a commis- gion on farming. These were "but a fifth 'wheel in' agricultural or- ganization." The commission had not 'sat for 22 months and it had never been necessary. The Minis- ter of Agriculture knew as much now as he did before the commis- sion's report."

Drew replied that the government is looking forward to the time when it will be able to put food to industrial uses. He add- ed that it had already gone'a long way in that department, by set* ting up the Ontario Research Council to co-ordinate and stimu- late research'in every field"in the Provinee, ~<a. Would Build Roads Mr. Oliver, in discussing Nor- thern Ontario advocated develop- iment 'over 'a long term, This wounld repay 'itsef" ome' hundred fold in the years to come. He suggested the highway pro- gram be speeded up to open up isolated communities, new mining and forestry and tourist wealth. The north needed a . land settle- ment policy different than coloni- zation schemes of Ontario in the past, he said. . He also suggested. a processing plant should be established on a trial, basis to eliminate the need of reshipping raw materials to Southern Ontario "cities and back. Premier Drew charged that pre- vious Liberal governments never were much interested in Northern Ontario development. He spoke of Marathon, Espanola, Terrace Bay and Heroh Bay as the most "thrilling" developments of the north in history. These were power developments, part of the electric power commission develop- ment. He also referred to the new road to Red Lake, an inroad into the "best" sporting 'area on the continent, as an accomplishment of the present administration in respect to northern development, Premier Drew declared that when his party came into power in 1943 it found Liberal instructions to tear up northern sections of the Ontario. Northland Railway. The Liberals could not see any use for it, he said. : : Now the section of the railway | military value from a strategic | Premier said he had and could | produce it for the Liberal member. ! cal "manager. addition is expected by the end of | tember as a possibility for the Pre- the year.

This outstanding event, which is to take place in St. George's Church, Oshawa, in May, is meeting with the enthusiastic support of the members.

"Fhe trio in the McLaren car all suffered injuries, Murray McLaren, a farmer, said that as he approach. ed the intersection he slowed down to beween five and six miles an hcur. There was a high bank to his right and he was unable to see if there was any on. coming traffic from the north. When his auto had reached half way across the intersection, he saw the Edgar car bearing down on him from about 45 feet away. It was go- ing "very fast," he said. The Edgar car struck his coach at the decor on the right hand side with a heavy crash, he continued, and his auto "jumped" into the air and ended up facing in a northerly direction. There were heavy skid marks 35 to 40 feet long to where the Edgar car came to rest, he claimed. McLaren quoted Mrs. Ed. gar as saying she had not been driv. ing fast as her husband had told her not to speed because the tires were poor. He had examined them and found them tg be smooth, he said, McLaren claimed that two verter. braes in his neck had been dislodg= ed as a result of the accident and he still suffered considerakle pain. The injury also handicapped him in the operation of his farm tractor, he claimed. A. W. S. Greer, K.C, is acting for the plaintiffs and Joseph P. Mang. an, K.C., for the defendants.
