WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 19° F23 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Canadian Warships Will Hold Exercises In Hudson Bay rr A 4 Carrier, 2 Destroyers, Auxiliary Ship To Sail In Sub-Arctic Waters » Montreal, May 5 (CP)--Canadian warships will enter Hudson Bay for the first time recognize the importance of nor this summer to show that "we n waters to us," Defence Minister Claxton told the Young Men's Board of Trade Tuesday night. He said that the squadron that will hold its summer exercise in the sub-Arctic regions will be led by Canada's newest alrcraft carrier, the 'Magnificent. The carrier her- self will not enter Hudson Bay but will accompany two destroyers and a tanker into Baffin Straights, The destroyers will go on to Churchill, Man. The minister stressed the need for a tightening of defence plans and he blamed Russia for flouting her war- won friendships and for "obstin- ately obstructing every move to ar- rive at understanding and promot- ing chaos and disorder and dark- ness as the only conditions in which Communism can exist and grow." Canada must have a foundation of defence forces capable of expan- sion as rapidly as possible and suit- able "to enable us to take our pro- per place for our security and our self respect." ) Mentioning the summer exercise planned for the Magnificent, Mr. Claxton saw the navy's future job as escort and supply in the North Atlantic and northern waters. The active army would provide an airborne brigade to look after any diversionary raid and supply the administrative and training staff to enable the reserves to be built into a large modern army from the framework of the present re- serve. "In the air," he said, "only three countries have the resources to have a strategic gombing force. Our job will be to supply the minimum quantity of interceptors and the ground forces to deal with local at- tacks, as well as to develop the staff and personnel to take their place as part of the major striking forces. The minister disclosed that Can- ada. is speeding up development of a two-seater, two-engine long- range fighter particularly adapted to use in Canada. In the meantime the dgnioion had bought from Bri- tains modern Vampire jet air- ~"The strongest efence against Communism," he concluded, "is a strong democracy. Each country so rar/taken by Russia has been des- royed from within. "The free peoples of the world must combine to prevent a war by making sure that Communism can- not win. If war comes, the free peo- ples must be able to win it as quick- ly 8s possible." Rev. C.A.

CANDOR NEEDS 15.000 FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL BOARD OTTAWA Dam Breaks, Floods Town While River On Rampage Winnipeg, May 5--(CP)--Prairie floods today were at their worst in Western Manitoba and Northern Alberta, with the situation else- where showing continued improve- ment. In Manitoba the town of Min- nedosa, 120 miles west of Winnipeg, was in the throes of one of the most serious floods in its history following collapse of a dam holding back the rampaging Minnedosa River one mile north fo the town. In Alberta Manola, 50 miles northwest of Edmonton, and White Court, 120 miles northwest, were threatened with inundation follow- ing ice jamming on nearby rivers. The Carrot River valley in North- ern Saskatchewan reported condi- tions improved today, with floods which earlier in the week forced several families to evacuate homes now receding. Conditions also were better in Southern Saskatchewan, although rivers maintained high levels, The collapse of the dam at Min- nedosa, whose populataion totals 2,000, sent tons of water over the centre of the town within a short time after it broke. Higher points also were threatened. Two hours after the destruction of the dam, which rescue crews had sought to save since last Saturday, the Minnedosa River had risen 10 to 15 feet, shoying 70 signs of re- ceding. Telephone - communications were out an hour after the dam broke and the Canadian Pacific Railway bridge was awash. A number of families had evacu- ated their homes earlier while oth- ers, who had thought they were safe, beat hasty retreats, minus furniture and other property, as | the water swept through the town | which sprawls along both sides of the river. For a while water covered the main highway through the town at a rising rate of a foot every 45 sec- onds. No loss of life was reported but fears were for the safety of cattle in district pastures. Improvement was noted at Win- nipeg, although a number of homes along the banks of the Red River remained - empty except for water, Brandon, Man., also was - believed over its initial flood peak. Three Orchestras Sponsoring Dance There have been dances spon- sored by the Oshawa policemen and dances by the firemen, but rarely a dance actually sponsored by the musicians of the city. Friday night, May 17, at the Jubilee Pavilion, Boyd Valleau, Bernard Tierney and Van Walker will share the spotlight with their complete orchestras as hosts and sponsors of the first an- nual "Musicians' Ball." Music will be continuous' through- out the four-hour evening and for listening pleasure Walter Scott, Steve Salmers, Louise Thomson and Shirley Harmer will sing with their respective bands. For the con- venience of non-drivers, it is re~ ported that buses will run a special service at 1 a.m. Saturday. FIRE DESTROYS BARN Renfrew, May 5 -- (CP)--Chil- dren playing with matches were be. lieved responsible for a fire which Tuesday destroyed a barn and stable owned by Jack Churchill. Located in the Barnet subdivision of this town, the barn was filled with hay, and for a time the blaze seriously threatened neighboring buildings in the area. OSHAWA CAMERA CLUB The Fifth Annual Spring Salon fo the Oshawa Camera Club open- ed on Monday night at Adelaide House with an informal gathering of members and friends. The prints, selected by the Toronto Ca- mera Club jury composed of John J. Lawson, AR.S.P., Rex Frost, and John Withrow, were hung to ad- vantage in the drawnif room, lib- rary and hall. Forty-five frints from the local club made the grade, and these are augmented by six prints each from the Belleville, Northland (North Bay), Sarnia, and Queen University Clubs. The best print of the show was judged to be "Sky Brown' by C. J. Johnson. Honour prints were "In November", "Fantasy in Straws", "Serious Business," all by C. H. Cooper; "Within These Walls" by T. E. Crooks, "Early Morning" H. L. Hind and "Birds of a Feather" H. E. Murphy. Refreshments were served to members and their guests, after which the trophy in memory of Paul Zavitski who, before his un- timely death during the war, was an active member of our club, was presented to Mr. C. J. Johnson for the highest total points for the year. This show of prints will be on until May 15, and we strongly re- commend that you make a point of dropping in to see the work of the local club.
