N MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1948 PAGE NIN™ fHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE atives' & * S00 Resolutions On Progressive Conserv Stewartville's Power Aids Ontario Districts As Far West As Oshawa Stewartville, Ont., Sept. 27--(CP) --Another 80,000 horsepower was added to Ontario's critical power supply Saturday when a 10-year-old Toronto boy sent three big hydro Jengrators here roaring into opera- tion, Several hur fred officials, includ- ing Hydro Chairman Robert Saun- ders, watched Edward Drew, son of Premier George Drew, press an or- dinary button switch and thus open the third post.war power project in Ontario. Stewartville is 30 miles west of Ottawa. Provincia] Treasurer Leslie Frost, in the official opening address said: "Instead of being depressed by the power shortage, we ought to be glad because of the industrial develop- ment it indicates." Electric power, said Mr. Prost, was "the life blood of the nation and should not be wasted. Every light turned off provides that much more power for industry." Mr. Frost said that Canada now » Was the second largest manufactur- ing country in the empire--and On- taria was "an empire in itself," The Provincial Treasurer noted that Stewartville was one of eight new projects. The next will be the Agusabon development to serve the thunder Bay region. Stewartville itself is the third project of its kind since the war. Three years in the making, it will ship 80-cycle power over 161 miles of transmission wirg jnto Southeastern Ontario centres, as war west as Osh- awa, Costing an estimated $13,900,000. the big concrete Stewartville dam riess to a maximum of 206 feet above the Madawaska River bed and brid- ges the 1,300-foot gap between the cliffs at its banks. Above the dam, the flooded area covers about 1,100 acres and extends nearly 13 miles upstream, Six thou- sand cubic feet of water is discharg- ed by the big turbines every second. The development is part of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission's plan to add another 750,000 kilo- watt to the overall system by 1952. Other post-war projects are at de- cew Falls near St. Catharines and Ear Falls on the the English River in Northern Ontario, Assault On Catholicism Said Extending In Europe By FRANK BRUTTO Vatican City, Sept. 27 -- (AP) -- East of the iron curtain, the Roman Catholic Church today bears the brunt of an assault, currently most bitter in Hungary, mildest in Po- land. But, Vatican sources say, there is it will be extended and inten- fed in coming months. 'ope Pius and Communist lead- ers in Italy have indicated such a development. Both tne church and Communism, aware of the long- range aspect of the conflict, are di- recting mighty efforts towards youth, Only an hour before the Pontiff this month addressed a vast throng of 300,000 Girls of Catholic Action, he warned the German people of assaults against their religion. Speaking to Germans by radio for the first time since the end of the war, he told them they may have "to fight to the last drop of blood" for thé independence of the clhiurch. Thursday, in the directive meet- ing of Ttaly's Communist party, Luigi Longo, its reputed under- ground leader, gave another index of coming battle, At the head of the table, pallid from his convalescence since a Sic- ilian student shot him July 14, sat Communist Chief Palmiro Togliatti. His policy in solidly Catholic Italy apparently has been an attempted conciliation. Togliatti voted for the inclusion of the Italian-Vatican lateran pacts in the Republic's con- . stitution. But, Longo said: "The essential task of the party today is to work among the masses, all the popular masse, to tear them from the reactionary influence of the Christian Democrats and the church." a The right to educate youth has . become the crux of the conflict. In Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania Catholic schools have been nationalized. There 'is fear at the Vatican, sources say that this deveiopment, gradually, will be extended to o'her countries in the Soviet sphere cof influence. situation: Vatican sources give this as the Hungary--Josef Cardinal Minds- zenty, Primate of Hungary, last June excommunicated members of the government and parliament who nationalized the Catholic schools. "2 action followed dismissal of 600 Sentary school teachers who, ac- rding to Vatican reports, had re- fused to swear allegiance to the government. Bulgaria--Here, where Catholics are a minority, the situation is little different. Recent decrees have nationalized Catholic schools. Romania--After the 1ecent de- nunciation of the 1929 concordat between the state and the Vatican, prélates here predicted "open hos- tility" would follow towards . the church. Schools have been nation- alized. . Czechoslovakia--A pastoral letter of Msgr. Joseph Beran, Archbishop of Prague, this month spoke of con- stantly increasing hostility towards the church. Here, too, Vatican sour- ces say, decrees are being prepared for nationalization of Catholic . schools. Poland--Catholic schools are still open, but, I is fearéd here, paft of them may be nationalized during the coming scholastic year. The Catholic press is censored. Catholic Bishops who were supposed to have made their regular visit to Rome have not yet received permission to leave. Urge Tractors Carry Licenses Vancouver, Sept, 27--(CP)-- An attempt to have tractors ranked with other motor vehicles under the On- tario Motor Vehicles Act has been launched by Chief H, M. Hall of ~~odstock. I idressing the convention of the ufef Constables' Association' of Canada Saturday, Chief Hall said tractors were classed as "field hus- bandry implements" and exempted from licensing regulations. He sald tractors driven by boys under 16 had caused three deaths in the last year. Police could take "no action because no operator's li- tense was required. "There is no provision which pre- rents children under 16 from driv- ng them," he said. "Re Yy Al33VS O3DIW Business Spotlight By The Canadian Press Stock markets have been subjec- ted to somewhat of a beating re- cently, but just as notable, they have been standing up under it very well. This presumably is because mar- ket prices have been, to put it mildly, the least-inflated items in the economy. The current issue of "Exchange," published by the New York Stock Exchange, notes that in spite of the ploughing back of profits, most companies have maintained "yields" on stocks comparable to former years? and that the "asset value" of their stocks is improved, even if the market prices haven't ad- vanced. The publication says further that although there's a chance that a recession will make some of the new plants unprofitable for a time, for the long haul the expanded equipment promises ever greater earnings." * The current business review of the Bank of Montreal includes this comment on prices: "Such soft spots in the price structure has have appeared to date do not yet justify the conch - sion that the long upward trend of prices has run its full course. "Steel, other essential materials and capital goods are still short in relation to demand sustained by buoyant incomes and the unfilled needs of both domestic and export markets. "Moreover, with continued ten- sion in world political affairs, the material réquirements of defence will probably be large for some time to come. "But as foodstuffs and other consumer goods appear in more plentiful supply, as specific scarci- ties become alleviated, as the pres- ent high rate of capital expansion assumes more normal proportions, and as consumer buying becomes more selective in terms of price and quality, a situation is created in which the pattern of prices may well show a greater diversity than it has for many months past. "Sharp price increases occurring since 1946 must, frcm a monetary standpoint, be regarded mainly as a delayed adjustment to a situa- tion previously established. It can- not yet be suggested with any cer. tainty that this adjustment is com- plete." Markets Saturday Security exchanges have had their last long week-end before re- suming half-day trading next Sun- urday. Grain prices retreated under selling pressure.

Jerome Scalise, CPO Jack ---Winnipeg Citizen Photo Close Fight Is Predicted In PC Party By D'ARCY O'DONNELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Sept. 27--(CP) -- The leadership contest at the forth- coming national convention of the Progressive Conservative Party may prove to be the closest fought in the party's history. At the party's three previous con- ventions, new leaders were selec- ted after two ballots were taken, This time, some observers are pre. dicting that as many as three and possibly four ballots will be neces- sary. Their observations are based on reports from various parts of the country which indicate support is split for those candidates who have plated themselves in the running. For instance, the support of Quebec's 322 delegates to the con- vention Sept. 30, Oct. 1-2 appears to be split three ways. Ivan Sab- ourin, leader of the party in Que- bec, has said he will support Pre- mier Drew' of Ontario for the lea- dership which John Bracken, 65, is giving up because of age and ill- health. But John Diefenbaker, 53.year- old member of the Commons for Lake Centre in Saskatchewan, told & recent press conference he found considerable support in Quebec. Then Donald Fleming, '43-year- old member for Toronto-Eglinton, told another 'conference he would win 250 of the votes from Quebec. Garfield Case, 49-year-old mem- ber for Grey North in Ontario and the fourth leadership candidate, has not made any predictions as to the support which he will draw. Quebec's support is all-important because the leadership winner must have a clear majority over all oth-|1 er contestants. The 322 Quebec delegates, some observers: believe, may hold the ballots which will break a deadlock. Ontario will be entitled to 465 delegates, Prince Edward Island to 31, Nova Scotia 63, New Brunswick 59, Manitoba 94, Saskatchewan 194, Alberta 76, British Columbia 103, and Yukon Six, : Voting for the leadership will start at 145 pm. EST Saturday, Oct. 2. The previous evening the leadership candidates, their movers and seconders will address the con. vention. Each candidate will be al- lowed to speak for 20 minutes, the Radio Park Unqualified Success GLADYS SIMONS Correspondent Westmount, Sept. 25. -- One thousand hot dogs, 65 dozen cobs of corny and gallons of coffee were sold at the huge outdoor fireplace during the fair at Radio Park yes- terday. The track events started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Ball games, the soap box derby, bingo and dancing were held in the even- ing. The soap boxes were raced across the grounds all evening but the of- ficial contest was won by the "Bone Shaker" and her two operators, George Wilson and Kenneth Rea. Jim Shearer and Ronald Yarrow won second prize with their entry, "The Rocket." Another soap box, "The Shmoo," was the objéct of a lot of praise but, unlike its name- sake in the comics, there were no little "shmoos" to satisfy its young (and old)) admirers. Brooklin defeated Westmount in the intermediate softball game with a score of 5 to 3. The soccer game between Courtice and Westmount ended in a tie, 3 to 3. Truack Results The winners in the track events were as follows: Senior boys high jump--Ken Rea, Bob Ferguson and Jim Shearer. Running broad -- Ken Rea, Jack Shearer and Jim Shearer.

BIG COFFEE PRODUCER Colombia is the second ' largest Agen Form Committees To Discuss Plans On Party Issues By D'Arcy O'Donnell Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Sept. 27 (CP)--A 193-man resolutions commit- tee will start work here tomorrow on close to 500 resolutions submitted for insertion in 'the Progressive Conservative party's platform. The committee will be an advance guard of delegates to the party's national convention Sept. 30, Oct. 1-2. To speed work on the mass of resolutions which touch on-all major Canadian issues, the committee will be split into seven sub-committees. There will be sub committees on external affairs, agriculture, labor, natural resources, social security, veterans and trade and taxation. It is not known how many of the®-- resolutions the committee will recommend for incorporation into the party's platform. It is known there is a good deal of duplication in, the resolutions, drafted by pro- vincial delegations and forwarded for submission to the committee. Representation on the committee by province's follows: Prince Edward Island, five; Nova Scotia, nine; New Brunswick, eight; Quebec, 50% Ontario, 62; Manitoba, 14; Saskatchewan, 16; Alberta, 14; British Columbia, 14: Yukon. one. A major battle may be fought on the question of Communism, The Alberta delegation has urged in a resolution that proper action be taken to suppress Communistic ac- tivities in Canada. The Quebec delegation has urged the outright banning of the Comimunist party. Resolutions from all provinces have urged that the party go on record in favor of heavy tax reduc- tions. The Quebec delegations have ask- ed that the party support the call- ing of a new dominion-provincial conference which would deal with the housing problem and with the redistribution of taxation rights between the Dominion and the provinces. Immigration may prove to be a ticklish problem for the committee. A Quebec resolution favors an im- migration policy that would permit only entry of persons whose services are required. The Alberta delegation favors a "better immigration policy, favoring Britain, the United States and France." Other resolutions call for the re- opening of wheat trading in the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, for ex- tended social security services, for a Trans-Canada highway, for a national fuel policy, for elimination coffee producer in Latin America. of price controls and for re-estab- lishment of the supremacy of par= liament. The women's associations in. the party and the Young Progressive Conservative - Associations are ex- pected to present resolutions deal- ing with matters, of particular in- terest to their respective groups.
