TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1948 PAGE NINE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE London Stevedores Vote To Return To Jobs Wednesday PRESS Pecision Follows Appeal by Attlee To Nip Emergency London, June 29-- (CP)--Striking London docks work- |. ers voted at a mass meeting today to go back to work to- morrow. Confronted by a labor government determined to smash the 16-day old work stoppage which has slowly pinched off London's food supplies, the dockers voted by a wide margin to get back on the job. The union leadership. strike was not authorized by The strike began 16 days ago®- when 11 dockers demanded higher pay for handling a "dirty cargo" of zinc oxide. A national emergency was pro- slaimed Monday night and the cab- inet immediately moved to arm it- self to beat down the costly strike. About 2,000 soldiers moved into the dock areas, where 232 food and sommodity ships were tied up, to anload vital supplies for the port of London, where official figures showed more than 19,000 men idle. The King declared the state of smergency under a 1920 law used oly once before in peacetime -- in she general strike of 1926. The London strike committee made the decision to return to work a few hours after Southampton lockers voted not to support the strike. But along the Mersey River was 'no indication as to pher or,not it would continue. the Merseyside area at least 12,000 of the 16,000 dock workers were still out, Other, ports were aormal. Prime Minister Attlee went to the microphone at 10 Downing Street a few minutes after the King signed the proclamation. He issued a per- sonal call to the dockers to come oack to the job and end a "strike against your mates." In what many listeners said was the "most effective" broadcast he Bad ever made, the Prime Minister said: "Your clear duty to your fellow citizens and to your country is to return to work." The whole country has been deep- ly worried by the strike. The Times of London editorially voiced the common thought when it said: 'These may turn out to be the gravest days since the war." Municipal Board Approves Hospital For North Bay North Bay, June 29 (CP).--The Ontario Municipal Board has given the green light to construction of North Bay's new civic hospital on the site bounded by Vimy, Brown- ing Scollard and Beattie Streets. Official approval of the amend- ment of a restricting by-law re- moved the last obstacle in the path of the hospital site of which was objected to by a number of citi- zens. R. A. Sheppard Chairman of the Hospital Commission, said Monday onstruction will start within a few days. "He also said the Ctomission ad "already" moved to take ad- antage of recently-announced fed- ral government grants to hospi- als. This financial assistance is on he basis of $1,000 per bed for ac- ve treatments, and $1,500 per bed or chronic cases of convalescents. 3,000 Workers Aid With Harvest Essential Need Ontario Regional Officials of the National Employment Service an- nounced in Toronto to-day that it is of the utmost importance that 3,000 workers are secured to assist farmers with harvest operations throughout Ontario. During this time of emergency---men need not be idle. A bumper hay and grain crop throughout the province has been placed in a position of tremendous importance owing to the fact that d. o adverse weather conditions in the Prairies, seeding operations were retarded, greatly increasing the risk of Fall frost. Added to.this serious situation western crops are now being attacked by grasshoppers and in some cases drought. During' previous years we have had the co-operation of western farmers who have come to assist in the Ontario Harvest, usually ob- taining in the neighbourhood of 2500 men. However, indications are that help cannot be expected from that source in anything approach- ing the number required. Assist- ance has been sought from other regions in Canada but without a great deal of success. An urgent appeal is being di- rected to all men and boys cver 16 years of age, husky and strong, who are seeking summer employ-~ ment. A number of young lads have already been placed on farms for this work. Those interested can register now at their nearest Na- tional Employment Office. All you need to say is, "I am interested in summer farm work"--the office will do the rest. ' Ontario farmers are urged to realize that in view of this acute shortage, it is of the greatest im- portance that every available man or boy, experienced or inexperienc- ed in harvest work, be utilized. Ontario Appeals For Farm Help Toronto, June 29 (CP).--In an urgent appeal to all men and ybuths over 16, the National Employment Service announced Monday that it was of "utmost importance" that 3,000 workers find summer employ- ment on Ontario farms, Harvesting the bumper hay and grain crop in Ontario is considered imperative because of adverse wea- ther ' conditions on the prairies which retarded seeding and in- creased the hazard of fall frost. Prairie farmers feared grasshoppers and scattered drought might fur- ther reduce the harvest. 4 Kt What to Do To-Night RECREATION HEADQUARTER! 100 Gibbs Street DAILY 2 - 4 pm.--Leathercraft (except Mon- day) ~--Shellcraft Keb shop --Collegiate-age Gym --Colleglate-age drama group --Ceramics and woodcarving for 'girls and women dally until the end of June. --Tumbling and boxing class- es for teen-age boys dally until the end of June. $-530p.m--A1 boys and girls activi- es. ~--Woodshop --Leathercraft ~--Boys Boxing ~--Junior Drama --Music and Rhythm Band, Monday and Thursday. --Boys Shellcraft Wednesday. ~--Woodcarving --Tumbling 7 = 9 pm.--Adult Leathercraft --Shellcraft --Woodshop closed until fur- ther notice. =m amas gym class, Tues- ay. --Family Night Friday night.

Little Drop In Apples Reported The Marketing Service of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture reports that all varieties of ap- ples in the lakeshore district of Eastern Ontario that had a fair blossom have set well with very little June drop in evidence. First cover spray is now applied and second being applied in some Cistricts. Some DDT will be applied shortly for control of codling moth. Orders for packages are now being placed by growers for this season's crop with more boxes.and crates being ordered than usual as it is felt apples will sell more readily if attractively packaged. A special meeting of the Northumberland- Durham apple growers was held at Port Hope on June 22. This was to discuss recent changes proposed in the grade of apples. The set of plums is below average but the fruit is developing well. No June drop has occurred in sour cher. ries. Trees are spotty, however, as to load but indications generally are for a good crop. The prospects for the pea canning crop were cut between 10 and 15 per cent. by drying winds and high temperatures. Aphis damage is pre- valent in some districts and planes to be used for dusting, Prices of strawberries to growers from ,pro- cessors open at 2lc per quart. Only a few packers expected to process at this price. FINE FOR RELIEF Vancouver--(CP)--A man here recently pleaded guilty to permit- ting his spaniel to hunt game birds. He was, given suspended sentence after costs were paid.

Introducing a resolution commit- ting the federal parliament to con- tinued development of Ottawa as a national capital, Mr. King said he thought Canada would even- tually hold first place among the nations of the British Common- wealth. After two hours debate the reso- lution was approved. Just before it passed, Joseph Harris (PC--Toron- to-Danforth) declared: "This is not a monument to the Prime Minister. alone." In discussing the future of Ot- tawa, Mr. King mentioned the cap- itals of the United States, Britain, France and Italy, and said: «I pelieve, as I think all mem- of this house believe, that C a has a future greater than thal of 'any of the countries which I have mentioned." The resolution, in effect, defined federal policy towards the capital and Mr. King said he thought it would be preferable to have an as- surance from parliament of its in- tentions." The plan for Ottawa's develop- ment would be beyond the means of any municipality, he said, adding that "the day will come when Ca- nada will hold first place among the countries of the common- wealth." Mr. King"s resolution calls for a special "national capital fund' with annual appropriations by parlia- ment to finance projects recom- mended by the federal district commission. He sald improvement, including construction of new bridges and re- moval of the railway freight ter- minals, will be "extremely costly." The federal government, the City of Ottawa, and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec have direct in- terests and responsibilities in de- velopment of the capital area. It would be impossible to bring them together harmoniously unless there wag some broad, general plan. He warned that the development could not be implemented at once and would require federal appro- priations over a period of years. The resolution guaranteed that projects started one year would not be abandoned the next. In emphasizing the necessity for a national capital, the Prime Min- ister declared that Canada "has possibilities no other countries have" and predicted that it would reach first place in the common- wealth, M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, doubted that Ottawa's site was sur- passed by tiat of any other capital in the world. He regretted that planning had not been carried out years ago because the city was poorly laid out, vulnerable to traf- fic congestion and beset with such things as "antiquated street cars." It should be remembered, howev- er, that there were other things that should come first, such as a Trans-Canada Highway.

Its beautiful trees made it "one magnificent park." Mr, King"s "admirable speech" would be read with satisfaction 100 years from now. Mr. Blackmore foresaw the day when Canada would be the centre of the British Commonwealth. R. R. Knight (CCF--Saskatoon City) assailed the commercial signs | which blemished the approaches | and the city, itself. Sensational | and glaring posters sometimes took up the whole sides of buildings. The first step in developing Ot- tawa should be elimination of "screaming signboards" and "juke joints." John Bracken, Progressive Con- servative leader, asked where the plan was, and what it was. Parlia- ment could hardly vote money for a plan it knew nothing about. George MclIlraith, (--Ottawa West), parliamentary assistant to Trade Minister Howe, said he was pleased that, through the annual appropriation necessary, parlia- ment would be able to consider de- velopment of the capital from year to year. Replying to Mr. Coldwell, he said he was disappointed that the C.C.F. leader had sough to make a party matater of the resolution. "Surely in the development of the nation's capital we can have the position taken where there is not this attempt to raise party ad- vantages," Mr. Mcllraith said.

It is well, too, for young Canadians not to overlook small towns and rural parts, because in these places the door is ajar, life can be gloriously free and very full." ...says ROY SHIELDS of Coboconk, Ontario.

Now Canada can do more -- can make more -- offers far more opportunities to young Canadians commencing their careers today. While established industries: have been expanding, new ones have been springing up. Over 200 new products formerly imported are now being made here.
