Tax Rate Up Seven Mills At Port Perry Port Perry's tax rate takes a seven mill jump this year, it was learned this week when the an- nual money-raising by-law was con- firmed by council at a special ses- sion. The rate is 58 mills. Officials said the increase is chiefly due to school costs. Outside of the increase in school rate of half a mill for high school and six for public schools and the county increase of two mills, the big feature was council's succews- ful effort in paring the general rate one and a half mills. Despite this reduction that means almost $1,000 less in the general account, council budgeted for a new side- walk Jud caution light at the new The new levy of 58 mills will raise $73,778.85 compared to $62,- 272,78 last year, a difference ol $11,500. The county levy jumped almost $3,000 to $13,520.42 le welfare increased slightly from $1500 to $1,600. The over $51,000 increase in the total assessment to $1,272,049 will help property own- ers slightly. The high school levy jumped from 5.48 to 6.02 mills and the public school from 17 to 23 mills or $8,000, an overall increase of six and a half mills compared to 1952. Estimated receipts in addi- tion to taxes, which means deben- tures recovered from school board or municipalities increased from over $26,000 to $43,000 this year ¢ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 84 OSHAWA-WHITBY, FR IDAY, APRIL 10, 1953 PAGE THREE Dowty Eq uipment Buys Ajax Plant Oshawa Reporter Is Promoted Again Hickam Air Force Base, Hono-|partment of The Toronto Star be- lulu, Hawali, (Specjal) -- The Unit- fore moving to Oshawa and The ed States Air Force recently an-|Times-Gazette.

CLARKE The first of the big meat pack- ing corporations to publish its fin- ancial statement for the business year 1952 boasts that it was the biggest and best in the company's Ristory. - Farmers who have lost millions of dollars on their cattle since last year will wonder why it is that never producer prices go down, butor profits go up. «Consumers who still have to pay big prices for their meat will won- der why they are not allowed a larger share of the price drop. After all the meat price paid to the producer has been cut almost in half. Probably the farmer has nobody to blame but himself. He is as , or better, as any soil-buster the world as far as the produc- end of his business is ¢oncern- But when it comes to the business end of his business, he lacks the interest, the enterprise, the imag- ination and the co-operative spirit which characterize his cousins on land in other countries. E DANISH SYSTEM "Perhaps the most outstanding ex- ample of successful collective mer- chandising and marketing is set by the farmers of little Denmark. "In Denmark about 80 - 90 per "of all dairy and meat prod- uets are handled by producer co- operatives. They are divided in commodity groups, but they all under the roof of one over- organization, which represents em when dealing with the govern- mient, industry or the export trade. ~The Danish co-operatives had many difficulties to overcome caused mainly by the "rugged in- dividualism" of the farmer. It was only after the farmers decided to give up a little of their 'independ- ence and to accept the principle of contracts, that the turn- came. I 2s products are pooled and ed. The initial payment is based on grade and the final payment distributed at intervals. 'The pricing by grades had the ef- fect of improving the quality "| products and helped to open up new export markets. CANADIAN EXPERIENCE Canadian farmers had the same experience during the war years when government bonuses were paid on hog carcasses of Grade A and B. To get the highest possible return Canadian hog producers bred and fed their hogs to com- ply with British standards. The great mistake of the farmer was to rely too much on govern-| ment assistance. In the future it will have to be prepared to accept self. The federal government has lost the British markets; the American government is slapping on embar- goes; the Ontario government is Jewing food imitations come in bit y bit. MUST ORGANIZE Unless Canadian farmers get busy and establish their own mark- | eting agencies, not only on a pro-! vincial but on a national level, they | will have to be prepared toa ccept lower prices yet. To organize for inter-provincial and export trade, they need legis- lation which has to be worked out | 'through co-operation of federal and | provincial governments. They can then pool their sur- pluses of bacon and cheese and eggs and sell them whereever they can at competitive prices. Their safest bet, of course, would be their traditional market in Britain. The argument that the British have no dollars and that the pound Sterling is not "convertible"', does not hold any water. Let us accept payment in Sterling, to be used for purchases anywhere in the Sterling area which, after all, comprises almost half the world. A number of goods, presently imported from other countries, could be bought in Britain. Brit- ish tractors and automobiles are being imported right now. The distribution in Canada of these imported goods could be handled by the wholesale co-opera- ves. It can be thought, therefore it can be done. What is needed is the initiative of the farm leaders to bring togeth- er the producer associations, co- operatives and credit-unions for the designing of a blueprint for co- ordinated action.

Wednesday afternoon as Miss Mar- | erite Yanuziello, from the Betty | phant School of Ballet in To-| ronto, puts her three classes of | ballet students through their paces. | Starting with the Beginners' pre Ballet group in the three-to-five age group, the lissom mistress of the dance, with her dark hair bound severely back in the classical bal- let tradition, exercises her pupils at the "barre", the waist - high metal rail which runs around the s of the standard practice . One of the first exercises y learn is to "plie", (plee-ay) gracefully and fluidly at the ees. Later they find out how to glisse, (glee-say) slide the toe out at an angle from the body. And part of the whole discipline is| rhythm and posture, movement of | the hands and arms in sympathy | with the legs, keeping the back straight and the head erect. As Beverley Thomas provides a | steady rhythmic background on the piano, Miss Yanuziello puts her Be- | nners' Class,- including Bonnie | fleas Judy Caruthers, Carolyn . } V Stackaruk and Janice Tierney through their exercises, providing the physical foundation that will make them graceful, poised and self-assured persons in later life. Among those enrolled in the Jun- ior Class are Verena Barr, Mar- garet Bull, Sharon Oxford, Linda Sawyer, Connie Wilson and Su- zanne Winter, while the Elemen- tary Class includes Marlyn Bittorf, Jeannette Drew, Frances Palter, Eleanor Parkhill and Toby Ruth. Many of these dance pupils hope to go down toTorontoon Mayl7 and see their ballet mistress per- form at the pupils' recital of the Oliphant School. Miss Yanuziello, who has danced in the CNE Grand- stand Show and appeared profes- | sionally in New York, will do a | Spanish number on that occasion, and dance in the ballet, 'Hansel and Gretel". !

D. E. BUTLER Cpl. Butler is another one of the younger members of the Ontario Regiment Reserve Force, having joined the regiment in 1949. Born in Oshawa, he received his early education at Albert Street School and he attended the OCVI. Corporal Butler is a driving and maintenance instructor on tanks, trucks, etc., with the regiment. In 1951 he was promoted to the rank of Corporal. In private life he is employed at the Fittings Ltd., on electrical and maintenance work. His residence is at 183 Court Street, Oshawa. How many years has the Ontario Regiment been organized . . . and how many men have been the com- manding officers of the famous regiment? Delving through the files we find that the Ontario Regi- ment was formed in the year 1866 which means that to this date the regiment is over 87 years old.

REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT By MICHAEL STARR, M.P. The House of Commons at Ottawa is still endeavouring to dispose of the many Government and Private Bills before it. The Estimates are expected to be dealt with any day now and this means a great deal of work, because it gives an oppor- tunity for members to speak on the first item of any department esti- mates. Most members will be plead with the Government for public buildings, harbours, and a great many other things for their Ridings. These of course can only be asked for under Public Works Estimates. As a result commencing on Mon- day, April 13 the House will sit in session in the mornings as well as afternoons and evenings. This should help to clean up most of the work before May 15, when it is expected the present session of Parliament will end. This week Geo. Drew moved an amendment to the motion to go into supply. The amendment was to the effect thatthe Government amend he present Sales Tax Act | to exempt municipalities and with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps during World War | II. He is also a veteran of four | years combat duty in World War ish Army. tions placed there, mostly by the members of the opposition groups. The questions are all relative to government business and these questions are expected to be answ- ered by the government. Some of others need a great deal of research and preparation. Ministers to whose departments these questions relate, are at times very much annoyed. We have had a number of occasions where the production of informa- tion has been refused. _ The new amended Criminal Code is now undergoing a careful scrut- iny by a committee of the House. This code has been passed by the Senate Committee, who heard many delegations protesting cer- tain clauses of the newly amended code. It is quite certain that this Act will not be passed during this Session of Parliament, because of the many objections. These objec- tions and protests have been pres- sented by the Canadian Congress of Labour on behalf of all affiliated Labour groups and by many other Srgalizavions and their representa- ves. June 2, the day of the Coronation of our Queen, has been declared a statutory holiday by the Govern- ment, It is to be hoped that in- dustries, business, and all citi- zens co-operate to mark this histori- cal event in a suitable manner. Total estimates for the fiscal year 1952-53 were $4,090,958,997. The es- timates as presented for the fiscal year 1953-54 are $4,404,976,236. An increase of $314,017,239.
