MAU MAU (Continued from Page 1) hese were the Mau-Mau tac- cs: They knew their intended vic- tims' huts were bolted and barred, so they set fire to the huts. When the tribesmen rushed out to escape the flames, they were attacked with axes, pangs (hacking knives) and short swords. Many of the Kikuyus, unable to escape the flames, were burned to death in their huts. One of the intended victims was chief Makeni. However, he fought off the Mau Maus and shot one of them dead. . It was the biggest single outrage in the strife-torn colony since the Mau May society started its terror campaign last fall to drive out thi RE man from the British colony. There are about 30,000 whites and 5,000,000 natives in Kenya. Nearly 300 persons, most of them Africans who refused to join the Mau Mau, have been killed during ast year a . ine 5 by the fanatic ter A OSHAWA AND DISTRICT HAS HAND CRUSHED Miss Helena Dobosz, 268 Willing- don Avenue was taken to Oshawa General Hospital yesterday with a crushed hand, the result of a ma- chinery accident at Oshawa Engi- neering and Welding Company, Limited.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 'Age of Wood ' Sees Dawn Of Greater Forest Industry By FORBES RHUDE [ Canadian Press Business Editor | Trees, always vital in the life of man, seem to be at the dawn of a wider usefulness. The annual report of the Min- nesota and Ontario Paper Com- pany goes so far as to say his- torians may call this present time the "age of wood," and.presents a situation which promises long prosperity for forest industries. The report says that through ad- vanced research and study scien- tists have found many new ways to turn wood into useful products. New industries are springing up and new discoveries, yet to come, will mean still more new uses for wood. Wood, unlike man's other re- sources such as iron or oil, will never run out as long as he man-| ages his forests wisely. | It is made up of the element's | that are vital to life. Cellulose, for | example, is the basic ingredient | of paper. Cellulose is made up of carbon | and water, and so is sugar. How- ever, it has one less unit of water. 5 a simple acid process, you can add this missing unit of water and get sugar. This wood sugar can be con- verted into ethyl alcohol and the alcohol can, in turn, be converted into plastics, solvents, oils, syn- thetic rubber and liquid fuels. Another basic ingredient of wood is lignin, and you can trace the taste of a vanilla ice-cream cone to a spruce or fir tree. For most of the vanilla flavor used today comes, not from a tropical bean, but from lignin, a by-product of the pulping process. : The frames of your eyeglasses and your fountain pen may be of wood plastics. Even your telephone comes from wood. Many people wear suits and dresses made from wood. Your belt may have been tanned with a wood derivative or made of synthetic leather from wood. The film in your camera very likely came from wood. The dash- board of your automobile is often made from wood plastic and so is your steering wheel. The tires are either natural rubber from trees or synthetic rubber that can be manufactured from wood. Cattle feed can be made from wood. Yeast, too, can be pro- duced as a by-product.

Council members said the width {of Bloor there was too narrow for | parking to be allowed. If one car parked and another stopped at the | other side of the road then a traf- | {fic jam resulted. The council could not recommend any change in the | present restriotions. | STRATHBURN, Ont.

Entertainment | Closes Tavern | TORONTO (CP)--The liquor li- cence of the Metropole Tavern in Windsor was suspended Thursday | for two weeks by the Ontario li-| nN quor licence board on grounds that it did not serve food with drinks in the dining room and that it Staged "improper entertain- ment." Reuters Chief Main Speaker At CP Meeting LONDON (CP)--Sir Christopher Chancellor, CMG, will be the speaker at the annual meeting dinner of The Canadian Press in Toronto April 15. The 49-year-old general manager of Reuters, the world-wide Brit- ish news agency, will fly to Canada a day or two before the dinner which is in the middle of News- paper Week. « Sir Christopher has been general manager of Reuters since it be- came a co-operative association, like The Canadian Press and The Associated Press, in 1941. Prior to that he was for nine years Reut- ers' chief correspondent in the Far East, stationed at Shanghai. He is a well-known world travel- ler and in the last two years has visited virtually every country of the free world," studying Reuters services. As president of The Canadian Press, Roy H. Thomson, president of Thomson Newspapers will be chairman of the meeting. Subdivision Is Approved Revealed in The Times-Gazette for the first time yesterday the proposed huge residential area in south Oshawa was looked over by the traffic advisory council last | night. The preliminary sketch of the area was made after city council | asked for opinions of various com- mittees on the location of a road leading from Simcoe to Park, start- ing near Wentworth = Street and taking in the Lakeview Gardens area. Placing the road the city plan- ners also mapped out the south- west area which they predict will start 'booming' within two or three years. There are already sewer and water pipes in the area. Ald. Herb Robinson was the man who originally asked for the new road which would be a vital cross- town artery to funnel traffic away from the new GM plant. Looking at the plan at a traffic advisory council meeting last night he said: 'I am very much inh favor of this." He observed that the planners had chosen the easiest place to bridge the creek and the road would meet every requirement. Ald. Robinson and Ald. Cephas Gay proposed that the plan be ap- proved and council is to be asked to order a survey of the site as soon as possible. CEDAR CREEK GEORGE A.

THE WEATHER TORONTO (CP)--Official fore- casts issued by the Dominion weather office in Toronto at 9:30 a. m. EST: Synopsis: A disturbance on the New England coast swept warm, moist Atlantic air westward into Southern Ontario Thursday. Over- cast skies and rain spread rapidly into the Great Lakes regions. The disturbance, although weakening, is moving very slowly in a north- westerly direction. As a result there is little relief in sight of the wet weather. Showers are expected to continue in southern and cen- tral regions of Ontario today and Saturday. Widely scattered snow- flurries will change to showers this afternoon in northern regions. In sharp contrast to this unm- pleasant weather in Eastern Can- ada, the Prairies are enjoying sunny skies and moderately warm temperatures. Regional forecasts valid until midnight Saturday: Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Niagara, Georgian Bay, Haliburton, Kirkland Lake regions; Windsor, London, Toronto, Ham- ilton, North Bay, Sudbury cities: Overcast today and Saturday. Oc- casional rain or drizzle today. Widely scattered showers Satur- day. Mild. Winds northerly 20 to- day decreasing to 15 this evening.

Earlton, North Bay and Sudbury 35 and 42. Summary for Saturday: Cloudy with widely scattered show- ers, ing an ambulance service in Brant- ford, Chief Elliott estimated it would take at least six extra men to enable him to function efficient- ly in both the fire-fighting ~ad am- bulance sections. These extra men have been added to the staff on probation, "But, of course, they will be the replacements for the time being for the experienced and veteran men that will be going out on ambulance journeys," commented the chief. He revealed that the men on the staff were a bit dubious about operating an ambulance. They were worried about the medical knowledge they would have to have to handle terribly - injured cases and the procedure to be fol- lowed in cases where the accident victim was dead. SIREN QUESTION "That has all been cleared up," declared the chief. "Doctors have confirmed the fact that at the scene of an accident if a person is obviously badly hurt and it is known that a doctor is on the way then the ambulance attendant should concentrate on keeping the patient warm and comfortable -- and should not move him. "In fatalities the instructions are firm. The body must be left at the scene until the coroner has given his' orders. If the patient should die in the ambulance then the orders are for the men to drive on to the hospital where there is a morgue." Drivers of the new ambulances "will not be speeding", assured the chief. They will go fast enough to get to the scene of an accident as quickly as they can but on the return trip they have been in- instructed not to swerve and speed uncomfortable. are under the hood and they will stay there," remarked Chief El- liott. The Cadillacs come equipped with a rotating red light on the top which flashes an approach warning in every direction. Over the years the chief has built up his own private scrap- book of hundreds of cases that might face an ambulance driver. Quiz 'sessions for the firemen are now being conducted on informa- tion in this book. looked during the preparation men when they take out the am- bulances. White coats of a strongly-woven material and with hidden buttons will cover the men to below the knees. 'Patients don't like to see bare hands on a job like this," said the chief. A supply of grey soft gloves that are washable and hygienic has been purchased and the pati- ents, like merchandize in advertise- ments, will be 'untouched by hand." Mayor Naylor freely admitted that "some of us were a bit leery about having the fire department take this over." That was no re- flection on a fine organization but on the surface the merits of other proposed schemes looked better, One idea that found favor around the city was that the hospital and make the patient generally | To back up Ald. Halliday's assur-| ance that "nothing has been over- | golds stage," the chief showed the types | of uniforms to be worn by the fire- | AMBULANCE SERVICE ALL SET (Continued from Page 1) should rate the service. That was studied, the mayor revealed, but it was found that the expense to the hospital of having men standing-by and unable to perform other duties for 24 hours a day would be prohibitive. In addition the hospital, with its current ex- pansion program, didn't have the space, BEST IN CANADA Another scheme that was inves. tigated was the possibility of oper- ating the ambulances from the po- lice station. Policemen, however, were in and out of the station all the time and in case of emer- gency it might be doubtful whether enough men would be in the sta- tion. "So the decision was made that it ghould be run from the fire sta- tion. And in view of the progress and careful study made towards the civic service so far it looks as if that was the right decision," commented Mayor Naylor. "Oshawa will have a service that is as good as any in Canada and, as we will be saving the $10.- 000 subsidy we would otherwise have paid to Mr. Boyd, it will not cost us too much," was Ald. Halli- day's opinion. "If 1 can only have a service that is as good as the one oper- ated from the fire hall in Brant- ford 1 will be well satisfied. That was also started as an experiment. Now it cowers its own expenses and you couldn't take it away from the citizens who send in many letters of thanks," conclud- ed Chief Elliott.
