WHITBY NEWS Tops Battle (Continued from Page 4) just two baskets of winning the game. Carl Reid was the standout per- former for the Simcoe Hall squad, potting 10 . backets and a free throw for 21 points. Brent Olfield sank ten for the winners, Art Ren- nick played a sensational game for the Ajax Terrors, racing through the Oshawa team time af- ter time, and running his total to 19 points. Jack Trail was good for 9, and Clayton Cary and Ber- nie McGriskin 6 each. The girls' encounter started out "as though it would be a very dull affair, but as the teams warmed up to.the game, and became more used to what it was all about un- der men's rules, the game took on all the earmarks of a real thriller, Whitby Tops held the edge in the first quarter by 9-5, but the Clean- | ereites tied it up at half time at 12-12. Ajax took the lead by the end of the third stanza by 18-15. Whitby really went to work in the last quarter and finally came out with a tie. Overtime was not play- ed due to the late hour. Bev Shearer notched the first and last baskets of the game, op- ening the scoring for Whitby and also creating the final tie, and in between these, she sandwiched an- other pair, giving her an eight point total for the night. Joyce Tucker tallied a pair of field goals in the first period for Tops, Mar- ion Fletcher one, and Carole South- well a foul shot. At this stage of the game it looked like it might be a runaway for the Whitby Grill gals, bu the Cleanerettes had other ideas. Nancy Fleming, Sonya Ronald and Moira O'Connor led the Ajax attack in the second quarter to tie the score, and put a different com- plexion on the game, holding Whit- by a meager three points. The third quarter was rather listless from a spectator point of view, with innumerable jump balls, and other stoppages of play, as both teams played it very close to the vest. In that third session, Marion Fletcher of Whitby was chased _~ from the game on five fouls. Those who thought the girls' game would be a dull affair ci ged their minds in the last quar- ter as the excitement ran at fev- er pitch. Three more of Whitby's | starting lineup bit the dust via | fouls, Joan Melrose, Helen Tera- vainen, and captain Joyce Tuck- er. However, those left in the | game not only held on, but rallied strongly to come up with a tie. In| the final minute of play Whitby | held a one point lead, Ajax tied it and went two up, and Whitby tied | it again. | Top scorer in the game Wwas| Joyce Tucker with 10 points. Bev Shearer, of Whitby, and Nancy | Fleming, of Ajax, each counted 8. Sonya Ronald and Moira O'Con- | nor turned in top efforts for Clean- | erettes and scored 6 points each. | The most pleasing thing about | this doubleheader was the fact | that it proved the need of more | of the same. Both the boys and | the girls turned in games that were surprisingly good, especial- | ly when their comparative inex- ~ perience and lack of practises and | games is taken into consideration. | It speaks very well for the future of the sport in the district.

But the present presentation of the matter is giving voice to the opin- ion of the General Council of the Urited Church, which is the most authoritative voice of the church. | It will be objected that the sub- ject is a purely personal matter, pursuance of which is an infringe- ment upon personal liberty, scid the minister. But such an atti- tude evokes the question: How far does personal liberty extend? Surely not to the point where it conflicts with law and personal responsibilities. Although provincial taxes upon beverase bring in many millions | » | won by | won by Jeff Thompson {moved into second round per year in revenue, the cost is broken homes, jail upkeep, police | costs and the like, outweighs the | revenue many times over, said the minister. It does not do to blame the situation of members of par- liament who only carry out pub- lic opinion. Responsibility and onus of action lie within one's own hands. Therefore it is now the policy of the United Church, instead of clamouring for legislative action to work within its own member- ship by way of teaching and pledg- es, to bring about improved con- ditions. Signing of the pledge cards will hearten both the sign- er and others, he said. After all, | it is a Christian tenet that one is his brother's keeper. The final answer to any doubts in the matter, said Mr. Scott, will be found by asking oneself, What would Jesus do? This is, Chris- tian standards should be the rule | of conduct of every member of the United Church, Badminton (Continued from Page 4) by Bob Harris and Cy Richardson. | Pete Bernhardt and Bruce Gould | vs Allan Kivell and John Medland-- | won by Peter Bernhardt and Bruce | Gould.

Dawes BLACK HORSE Brewery Duties and Taxes Take Gilt Off Inherited Peerages ry Redistribution Tan By ROBERT JONES London in Britain isn't what it used to be, what with death duties swallowing up most of the cash and land that goes with it. Phat doesn't mean that the Peer- age is dead or dying. During six years of post-war Labor govern- ment the aristocracy of tomorrow began taking shape-- the aristo- | cracy of the trade unionist. During the Labor regime nearly 80 peers were created--and about three-quarters of them have heirs. Some of these were war heros lik Earl Mountbatten, Viscount Montgomery, Earl Alexander and Baron Tedder. But the majority of the post-war peers have been politicians or trade unionists, honored for services to Labor. Included in the list are a miner's son, a former shop assis- tant, a union secretary who was once a newsbhoy and a teacher. NOT ANCIENT Most titles were created in the last 50 years. There now are about them were created between 1900 and 1950. In almost every case the new Labor peers have followed tradi- tion and taken out coats of arms. Complicated and expensive, they cost about $300 and are designed by the Royal College of Heralds-- set up in the days when every knight and nobleman wore his badge to identify himself on the field of battle. They generally include some ref- erence to the owner's name or oc- cupation. For instance, Lord Crook --a former union secretary--has a shepherd's crook in his arms.

There have been suggestions that the number of Commons seats might be boosted from the present 262 to prevent any province from losing seats. But an existing under- taking to the provirices by Prime Minister St. Laurent is seen here as thwarting any such move at this time. The system of determining the | number of seats alloted to each | province is, roughly, to divide the | total number of seats into Canada's total population and then divide the of each province. Prince Edward | Island is guaranteed four seats and Yukon one, so their populations are not counted in the calcuffations. The shuffle is made after every 10-year census. | Mr, St. Laurent gave notice on | the Order Paper Saturday that the | government is prepared to bring in the bill to provide for redistri- bution. Just how the 262 seats will be redistributed--some provinces are slated to get more, some to get less than they now have--will be determined by an gll-party Com- | mons committee. 15 from 20 seats, by far the worst of the proposed cuts. The big headache is that if some- thing is done to prevent Saskatche- wan from dropping, it can only be done at the expense of another province. British Columbia, as one example, now has considerably more people than Saskatchewan but has fewer seats in the present House. Under redistribution; B.C. is slated to jump to 22 from 18 seats. ! retain its Ottawa (CP) -- The inevitably- figure obtained into the population | Saskatchewan is due to drop to| Foreseen gle FBI Probes Attempt To Wreck U.S. Train | Philadelphia (AP) Federal agents .today investigated an ap- parent attempt to derail the crack Pennsylvania Railroad flyer "The Constitution." ¢ .
