Dairy | Council officials today sighted relief for most parts of the Dominion. ~ Butter Shortage Seen, But Price To Stay Up Non-Fiction Circulation Up in March While children's reading has been in the Oshawa Public Library to he end of March this year showed an the same period in 1947, the Li- brary Board learned last night.*To March 31 of this year the total was 217,400 in adult non-fiction over March, 1947, while the amount of fiction Surveys show greatest bovine ac. tivity smack in the centre of On- tario. In other centres, too, there are signs that spring has accelerated production, making real those gold- bricks which did a disappearing act, especially from Eastern Canad. ian cities, at the beginning of March. From now until June, officals of the council and of the agriculture department say, production will in- crease. In June, no part of Canada will be without adequte supplies. This is being accomplished even with a noted drop in milk produc- tion and a continued overseas de- mand for Canadian cheese. Milk production had declined three per cent in the first three months of the year. "Perhaps for 'this reason," a dairy official said, "a drop in the price of butter should not be anticipated. In fact, the 21-per_cent freight-rate increase granted railways has made it necessary to add a half-cent to the pound price." In Ottawa there had been rumors that the retail price, now 72 and 73 cents a pound, might be shaved to 67 and 68 cefits by mid-May. Spiking the rumor, the dairy spokesman disclosed that his orga- nization had received reports of but- ter Dblack-marketing during the shortage. . Consumers in unidentified cities had been paying as high as a $1- $1.50 a pound. Mending Course For Brougham This Thursday MRS. T. C.

Clarence is a very influential person around the 'Oshawa Chadburn Squadron. Come in and say hello to my read- ers Calrence. (I do have readers you know). "Hello folks; I'm Clarence. Yes sir, this is the first time you have ever heard from me. I have been around thougth for some time, nigh on to six years. You see I started out with the Oshawa Chadburn Squadron; you might say I'm its oldest member even though no one has ever seen me. I have never been seen because I am a gremlin, That's what I said son, a gremlin. It all started when the chief gremlin heard there was to be an Air Cadet Squadron formed at Oshawa, and he appointed me its official gremlin, We gremlins have been with the R.C.AF. since The beginning of the war and we decided we might as well assign one of our number to each Air Cadet Squadron as it came into existence. Yes, there is a grem- lin in every Air Cadet Squadron across Canada, even though most of the Cadets don't realize it. We are the little imps that make things go wrong, and sometimes, if we feel like it, we make things go right for our squadrons. We are not what you call the spirit of the squadron; but rather we are little fates that mold the history of the various Air Cadet Squadrons. We give the squadrons the breaks, or the bumps. That is our job. Enough of who I .am, and on with business. Joe has persuad- ed me to make my first public ap- pearance and tell you good people the history of the Oshawa Chad- burn Squadron. Today the 0.C.S. is recognized as one of the top squadron in Ontario. This was not always the case.

Nation And Army Need Same Ideals ~The idea advanced by Viscount Alexander recently when an honcr- ary Doctor of Laws degree was con- ferred upon him by William and Mary University in the United Sta- tes was re-iterated by A. T. White- head, Toronto barrister, in, his ad- dress to the members of the Osha- wa Rotary Club yesterday, . Viscount Alexander stated that the three essentials for the success ful moving of an army can also be applied to civilian life, namely: there must be a plan; morals must be maintained, and there must be co-operation, Applied, under a de. mocratic form of government, these prequisites can make life happy and contented for the people of a nat- jon 'as well as tended to extend the ideals they love.

Since that time there have been 14 acts amending and extend- ing its powers. These culminated in 1931 with the passage of the Statute of Westminster which gave Canada her present status as a great nat. jon and as a part of the common. wealth of nations. Mr. Whitehead recalled incidents in connection with the fall of Lou- isburg and the interception of a British convoy on Laké Ontario by a United States naval force to show that the gallantry which pre- vailed between foes in those days is not to be found in present day warfare. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian Rev. George Telford while the appreciation of the club was voiced by President J. Norval Will- son.

Dr. Nash said that 555,000,000 man-hours a day are spent listen- ing to soap operas which fail to even challenge "the mentality of a seven-year-old moron." One of every seven persons in the United States went to movies night- ly to see pictures which were an in- sult tothe intelligence. "The mechanical age," he said, "has brought us a tremendous amount of leisure, but in spite of all the time-saving devices, there is hardly a person in this audience who is doing as much for some worthy cause as did his mother and grandmother." 51 Ontario Fire Toll In First 3 Months Toronto, April 20 -- (CP) -- Twenty-seven children were among the 51 persons who died in Ontario fires during the first three months of 1948, according tc the fire mar= shal's quarterly bulletin issued yes- terday The remaining deaths included 14 women and 10 men.
