THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE MONDAY, JULY 12, 1948 torm Cuts Power Over 4,500 Square Miles Of & Heat Wave Faces Drange Marchers; Cobourg Is Centre By The Canadian Press This is the "Glorious Twelfth" of the Orangemen and those who march today--at least in Central Canada--will carry their banners and band instruments through sweltering midsummer heat. Orangemen who marched Satur- day--they thought a Saturday march would result in a bigger turnout than a Monday celebra- tion--had it little better. Every- where it was so hot the bandsmen could hardly thump the drums and tootle the fifes. The big doings in Ontario today are. set for Ottawa, with a gather- ing of 329 lodges and perhaps 25,- 000 persons: Cobourg and Clinton have smaller gatherings. Montreal Orangemen are to join in the Ot- tawa celebration. The 1948 celebration by this Prot- estant order marks the 258th an- niversary of the July day on which William III, Prince of Orange, de- feated the dethroned James II when their forces clashed at the Boyne River in Ireland. Celebrations in Kitchener were marred Saturday by the death of Kirby Tarzwell, 53, a horn player with the Hillsburgh Brass Band. Tarzwell, master of the Lodge at Hillsburgh, 25 miles northeast of Guelph, died of a seizure while on parade. Sarnia's walk Saturday drew 10,- 000 from Western Ontario and from Michigan, Kitchener saw 8,000 march to the music of more than 30 bands. Toronto's turnout was upwards of 6,000. Thornbury played t to 5,000. North Bay had a big ade and Orangemen from Ham- .'on joined others from the coun- ties of Lincoln, Haldimand and Welland in a march through the streets of Dunnville. Korean Factions Rush Setting Up Governments Seoul, July 12--(AP)--Koreans of the United States-occupied south and the Russian-controlled north rushed completion of separate gov- ernments today -- each striving for eventual rule over both zones. "North Koreans raised their own Bammer-and-sickle flag two days ago, said a North Korean radio broadcast translated here today. The assembly elected in South Korea approved today the 4,000-year old country's first democratic con- stitution. The North Korean radio said that the Soviet zone will elect its own legislative body Aug. 26. It added: A "Democratic Korean People's Re- public" constitution now is in effect, It will be enforced only in the So- viet north "until the time when the constitution comes to be enforced in all Korea," the broadcast said. Russia refused to let North Kor- eans vote in the United Nations-su- pervised election in South Korea.

The Fire Depart- ment had no calls while the police had no serious accidents or crime o handle, Seeks Emigration PRIME MINISTER J. B. CHIFLEY of Australia, who is en route to London to link plans for mass em- igration of Britons and decentra- lization of Commonwealth defence industries in talks with the British government, Chifley discussed the plans with the British government in 1946. The British government turned down a mass emigration scheme proposed by Australia and New Zealand, but Chifley was ex- pected to renew the proposal with more hope than expectation. Looking Ahead In Ottawa (By the Ottawa Staff of the Canadian Press) Ottawa, July 12--(CP)--The lit- tle and the big people of Canada, those who must shoulder the bur- den of rising prices, may once more be at the forefront of a government inquiry into the higher cost of liv- ing. Public hearing into a host of commodities, which ended a fort- night ago when the Parliamentary Prices Committee completed its work, will probably start again in two or three weeks. Most likely subjects for the Royal Commisssion to- investigate are those which the committee had on its agenda but never reached. It planned, if there had been enough time, to look into the costs of building materials, feed grains binder twine, boots and shoes and some steel products. C.CF. members of the Prices Committee were particularly anx- ious for it to investigate the build- ing materials position and the sub- ject, especially the shortage of nails and the high prices they bring on the black market, was raised in Parliament several times during the last session. The givernment increased the supply of wire to nail manufactur- ers -- at the admitted risk of caus- ing a shortage of wire in other forms--Ilate in the session. vs considered likely here that the gov- ernment would look favorably on an investigation that might fore- stall future opposition criticism. Its instructions to the commission were to "pay -particular regard to commodities and services in com- mon daily use." A start on the long-awaited re- vision of the Criminal Code may be made before Parliament meets again next spring. The question came up several times during the parliamentary session just ended and former Jus- tice Ilsley indicated his depart- ment was turning its mind in that direction, but stressed that the re- vision was a specialized task. He said it would not be taken up by the commission which is to be appointed to revise the Canadian statutes but that it would be nec- essary for the department to hire technical help from outside to. do the work. Presumably he meant that lawyers woldr have to be em- ployed. hurchill Sees War Danger If Allies Yield To Russians Woodford, Essex, England, July 12--(AP)--Winston Churchill said Baturday the Western Allies risk r with Russia if they yield to Soviet pressure in Berlin, "If we were to yield upon this gravye issue, we would, in 'my ppinion, destroy the best chance ich is now open to us of escap- png & third world war,' he said in speech at a Conservative Party ly in his home constituency. ~The Wartime Prime Minister balled the period of waiting for a Boviet reply to the Anglo-French- gaerican notes protesting the ade 'of Berlin "an anxious py Churchill speculated that a poli- Bical crisls may be developing in- de Russia, particularly in the ight of the Cominform's denunci- tion of Marshall Tito of Yugo- via. F "Their prime interest," hes said the Russian rulers, 'is to preserve jeir personal power over the ndreds of millions of people of many different races whom they rule with a rod of iron. "We cannot tell what internal stresses are at work in this grim oligarchy. It would seem to me that they must 'be be very severe at the prese e and that one part of pe AL i is working sep- arately or even contrary to the other, "How else can you explain the Soviet solemn denunciation and excommunication of Yugoslavia from the ring of satellite states at the same moment when they were bringing the crisis in Berlin to its climax?" : Churchill reiterated his support of Foreign Secretary Bevin's for- eign policy, "Although it is not perhaps very skillful," he said, "it is at any rate based on sound lines." Attacking. the government's fis- cal policies, Churchill expressed the hope that "better use" will be made or Marshall Plan aid than of the United States loan to Britain. on the words, Rev. R.F. Willson Gives Open Air Service Talk Despite the heat and humidity a fairly large audience assembled in Memorial Park last night for the open air service sponsored by the Oshawa Ministerial Association, The service was conducted by Rev. E. Donevan Jones, minister of Albert Street United Church, The -| address was delivered by Rev. R. F. Willson, minister of First Baptist Church, while assisting were Rev. H. F. Davidson, minister of Knox Presbyterian Church and president of the Association, and Rev. George Telford, minister of St. Andrew's United Church. The choral part of the service was led by the choir of Albert Street United Church, under the direction of Mrs. Robert Holden, Sr. During the service Miss Amy Sargant sang the solo, "When the World Forgets", very beautifully. Mr, Willson took his text from the third verse of the third chapter of John's Gospel, basing his remarks "Except a man be born again he shall not see the Kingdom of God". Mr. Willson said that rebirth was a needed experience for Nicodemus, At the same time a spiritual experi. ence is needed by all men as God must enter into men's lives. There is no hope in the flesh, but there is an available experience which is available to all. Men, he said, must learn that the blood of God cleanses all sins. Those, who are born again, know that they are His and He is theirs forever. It was announced that at the open air service to be held at the park on July 256 the address will be delivered by Rev. George Telford and the musical portion of the ser- vice will be taken by the choir of the Ukrainian Presbyterian Church.

Immediately frightened townsfolk began acting as if the 'quake al- ready had struck. Theatre attendance fell off con- siderably. Motion picture show re- ceipts dropped. Prefecture authorities took him at his word, too. They laid plans to distribute food and relief to the 'quake refugees. Police were ordered to stand by for an emergency. The storm, the most severe so far this season, ripped power lines, hurled lightning bolts at hydro sub stations and set barns afire in sn area inhabited by close to 1,000,000 persons.

Truman Choice Is Seen Certain at Convention By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Philadelphia, July 12--(CP)--The Democratic National Convention op- ened today to pick a candidate for next November's election and there was no doubt the choice would be President Harry Truman. The last-minute entry of Senator Claude Pepper of Florida as a can- didate of the "Liberal" wing, Sun- day night presented some opposition to the nomination of Truman. Dixie "rebels" picked Governor Ben La- hey of Arkansas. Few took the Pepper entry ser- fously. But his handful of followers immediately went into action. Earlier Sunday Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had still further head- ed off his supporters when he ad- vised and urged his die-hard sup- porters not to carry out their threat to nominate him over his objections. William Douglas, Supreme Court Justice, also delivered an unequivo. cal "no" to his supporters Sunday and left the field to Truman. Truman has enough pledged votes to ensure the necessary 618 to win a majority. There are 1234 votes but a far larger number of delegates, Many of them with fractional votes, A number of unpledged statés held caucuses Sunday night and dee cided to support Truman. But the Southern states, rebelling against the Truman policy on civil rights--ensuring negro minorities the same privileges and protection as white people--remained militant ly opposed to Truman. The Democratic National Come mittee worked over the vice-presi- dential possibilities and waited forf a note from Truman indicating who he wants. The Party Platform Committee worked on their draft which will be presented Wednesday and the fight was over the kind of a civil rights plank that might placate the cute raged Southerners. ! / he" past year. products obtainable.
