RELIEF FUND CONTRIBUTIONS Outside of the $1,100. forwarded by the Legion to the National Eu- ropean Relief Fund, it is estimat- ed that close on $1,500 was sent through churches and other organ- izations and through the banks. It is thought ible, also, that some citizens might have sent personal contributions to the fund head- quarters. Firemen Burn Over Lots To Avoid Fires A false alarm brought the fire, men out on Saturda afternoon {about six o'clock. The fire was Subbosed to be in the Alger Press building in the east end of the town but when the firemen arriv- ed there was no one around. These false alarms are becoming all too frequent, Fire Chief Bruce Corner said afterwards. It is never pos- sible, of course, to find out the offenders. In order to cut down the num- {ber of 'grass fires that are usually {frequent at this time of the year, |the firemen are burning over va- |cant lots. Eight of these were {burned off on Good Friday and | more since. The Fire Chief requests all citi- zens lighting fires outdoors at this time to watch them carefully, They should never be left unattended, and particular care should be tak- en to keep children away. The co- operation of the citizens will be appreciated. Memories of the famous battle of Vimy Ridge of the first great war, which marked one. of the great strug- in whic! adian units covered themselves with glory at great sacrifice, are to be recall by members of Whitby branch 112 of the Canadian on and ex-servicemen Jonerat.

Mr. Gentles came to Ontario 26 3 years ago and was employed by | the General Motors plant in Osh- awa. He was a member of the plant's 25-year club and an assist- ant fire chief. He is survived by his widow, Gladys Mingo Gentles, and his daughter, Charlotte, and six brothers and sisters in England. EDITORIAL Improving Welfare Administration History will be made in Whitby this week -- in fact in the province of Ontario--when the Honorable William Goodfellow, minister of Public Welfare in the Frost cabinet, will visit Ontario County's Fairview Lodge and formally in- augurate a school for the training of such welfare institu- tions as the lodge in the province of Ontario. The school, to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, is the first, so far as is known, not only in Ontario but any- where else, and it emphasizes the importance attached by the government not only to every modern facility for com- fort, convenience and happiness in welfare institutions where so many men and women are spending life's twilight years, but also to their proper operation in order that the institu- tions may be all that is expected of them. For the most part the 15 students who are coming here from all parts of On- tario are superintendents and the government believes that the importance of their task requires specialized training, or instructions, however brief these may be. When Fairview Lodge was opened fifteen months age the minister of welfare announced that it was planned to make it a training centre, for he said that it was one of the most modern and best equipped in Ontario, many new and very necessary features being incorporated in it. Ever since he took office the Hon. Mr. Goodfellow has shown a keen interest in welfare institutions that come under his juris- diction, none the least of these being those devoted to the care and comfort of aged men and women, many of whom are descendants of pioneers who worked hard at great personal sacrifice to give to us many of the social and other benefits we of today enjoy. The County of Ontario, and the City of Oshawa, giving leadership in this connection, should be justly proud of Fair- view Lodge, and should be happy in the thought that the government has chosen it as a training centre, so that every similar institution in the province may be able through its service personnel to not only practice efficiency but also manifest the spirit of kindness and love towards their charges.

Finland Wondering By THOMAS HARRIS | HELSINKI (Reuters) -- Russia | probably will become Finland's | best customer this year under a new trade agreement concluded in Moscow, but the big question is --will she pay? Many firms fear that Finland's | exports to Russia may exceed her | imports and that she will pile up| an uncollectable payments surplus | behind the Iron Curtain. i This would mean the Finns had | been led into exporting large] amounts of goods to the Soviet | Union free of charge placing Finns in the same position as the Iron | Curtain satellites which Russia is already "milking'"' in this fashion. One feature of the tarde agree- ment is that Poland and Czecho- slovakia are to make deliveries of goods to Finland in repayment for | the goods she sends Russia and | Russia sup) dly would repay the Czechs and the Poles. Under thd new Finno-Russian | agreement, the Soviet Union has undertaken to buy 35,000,000,000 marks (about $148,000,000) worth of Finnish goods. They include pre- fabricated houses and othet wood industry products, ships, cables, factory plant and other machinery. gpa aes= ok [f Red Market Pays Last year, Russia imported only 27,400,000,000 marks (about $127, 000,000) worth of goods from Fin land. Finland's best customer was Britain, who bought 47,200,000,000 marks (about $159,600,00) worth of goods. The Finns fear they will not be able to sell so much to Britain this year and that Russia will re- place it as their best market. Russia sends Finland indispens- able primary products like grain and fuel and take from it manu- factured products such as cables and ships. The great advantage of the new agreement -- if it works -- is that it insures Finland an adequate sup- ply of foodstuffs and raw ials which otherwise would have to be bought from the West, partly with scarce dollars. It also gives them an outlet for the production of their former re- {parations industries, built expres- {sly to fulfil Russia's demands for war reparations to the value of $300,000,000 at pre-war prices. When the last reparations were delivered last year, Finland was left with new industries and no markets for their output because its prices were too high for the free markets of the West. NATO Job Big Chore To Airmen FONTAINEBLEAU (CP) -- To some, "infra-structure'" may just | be a stumbling block in a cross- word puzzle. To Group Capt. E. C. (Ted) Luke, of Montreal and Van- couver it's a day-to-day worry. Luke is on the staff of Gen. Lauris Norstad, commander - in- Europe, and infrastructure is his special responsibility. He is sta- tioned at this French base. In Canada, Defence Minister Brooke Claxton has called "infra- structure' an ugly word. How does Luke define it? '""The best way is by a process of simple subtraction," he says. "If you take away the personnel, the planes, movable equipment and | supplies of an air force, what is| left is infra-structure." : This means airfield construction | and facilities, plus such national | additions as may be required hy! forces using above the bare mini- mum North Atlantic Treaty Organ- ization standards. That makes Luke something of a figure in European real-estate | circles. The bulk of the 126 air-| fields being built in the NATO | program lie within the scope of | AAFCE: 41 in France, 30 in West- | ern Germany, 14 in Belgium, 3 a embourg. "Consider that each site repre- sents 1,100 acres of ground," said the Canadian officer, 'and you get an idea of the spread of our super- vision." Luke was deputy director of works and building for the RCAP during the Second World War, with special responsibility for the Brit. 2h Commonwealth Air Training plan. Describing the difficulties of his present job, he says: "It's something like six families, each with lots of ideas and tight rein on the money, all trying to build one fine house in which they are all going to live together in comfort and security. That would take some doing, wouldnt ft?" The Netherlands and one in Lax- AGAINST ROYALTY .
