JOHN NEIL WILKINSON An attendant at the Ontario Hospital, Whitby, for 20 years, Jchn Neil (Jack) Wilkinson died at the Oshawa General Hospital Tuesday, Oct, 27. Mr. Wilkinson, who was in his 63rd year, had been sick for three weeks. Driver Injured In Collision John Shaw, 1141 Hortop St., was admitted to the Oshawa General Hospital after his car struck the rear of a Port Perry bus, on Simcoe street north, early this morning, Mr, Shaw sustained a lacera- ted scalp. The bus, driven by Mervin De- Nure, had stopped to let a pas- senegr off at the Buckingham ling with {from European countries tralian and New Zealand butter. It will be used mainly for hlend- cheaper varieties to build up the supply without an undue increase in the retail price. New Zealand and Australian farmers have been holding down {the price of their butter sales to Britain, while prices for supplies have been advancing steadily. Last vear, continental imports flooded the market and brought the price down to around two shillings a pound. This year, however, there have been greatly reduced im- ports from Holland and Den- mark, because these countries, like Britain, have been hit by drougit. Their butter exports to Britain have fallen by some 300, 000 hundredweight, or 15,000 tons. Oniy Australia and New Zealand have maintained their supplies to Britain. With home production also down by a considerable amount, the call went out to Canada to help make up the shortage. Today, retail prices for butter in London's stores are: Austra- Yas 4s 1d a pound; New Zealand, 4s 2d; Danish 4s 8d and Dutch, 5s 2d. These prices are the high- est the consumers have paid for butter in Britain for many years. Apartments when the accident occurred. TRENTON POLICE RECEIVE FINE TRENTON, N. J. (AP)-- Trenton police were talking Tuesday about the »woman with two-fifths of a conscience, The department got a let- ter in a plain envelope. "I feel I should pay you $2 for passing a red light once. Although I didn't do it - intentionally, it is only right for me to pay. Women are no better than men," she wrote. The letter was signed: "Mrs. Over-sized Conscience.' Magistrate Albert Cooper pointed out the fine was under- sized, because the usual fine is $5. But he lauded the woman's intentions. Farmers Ask Medical Plan GUELPH (CP) -- A call on the federal and provincial govern- ments to implement an Ra ance plan for payment of all medical expenses was made Tuesday by delegates to the an- nual convention of the Ontario Farmers' Union here. The resolution said persons who have medical insurance poli- cies with private companies pay large premiums and still have trouble getting claims filled. Delegates said these companies also often refuse to pay legal claims and can refuse to insure anyone with an ailment that might be recurrent. A second resolution called for an amendment to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission Act so the cost of diagnostic and clinical services would be paid even if the patient were not ad- mitted to hospital, WEATHER FORECAST Thursday Cloudy, A Little Milder TORONTO (CP) -- Forecasts issued by the weather office at 5 a.m. EST: Synopsis: Although a Tage] high-pressure apea was pushing eastward across the province this morning only a few breaks in the cloudy skies appeared and light snowflurries coptinued at many points both in thern On- tario and in the north.

Concession, Pickering township, in his 97th. year. Among the late chief's prized possessions was |collection of medals earned by himself and his ancestors. An. other article me prized highly, and which is now a collector's | Chief Sitting Bull. association is the original medal presented to his ancestor, Chief Bald Eagle (Ogamah /Benase). This was given to him by the British government in the time of Queen Elizabeth 1st. to com- memorate the surrender of the state of Virginia to the British colonists, MEDAL UNEARTHED The medal was buried with Chief Bald Eagle at Rice Lake, Ontario, where many of the Mis- sisauga bands are now settled. The story of the medal was told to Chief Paudash by his father| many years ago. | Later, Chief Paudash visited] the simple mound where his an- cestor was buried, from which he unearthed the silver medal, still intact and untarnished. It was Chief Bald Eagle's grandfather who led the Missi- sauga tribe from Virginia, down the Ohio and west of the Mis- sissippi. He finally settled them near Chicago, which is a short- ened form of the Indian word meaning "habitat of skunks." By many of the medals award- ed-to his forebearers, Chief Pau- dash can trace the history of Canada. One medal was given an ancestral chief for the part he played in the American revolu- tion. Others were awarded dur- ing the Fenian Raids, the Mac- kenzie Rebellion," the Peninsula War of 1793 and 1814 and the war of 1812, SERVED AS SNIPER Chief Paudash himself served in the 1914-18 world war as a sniper with the 21st. Canadian In- fantry Battalion. He was deco- rated by King George V, for bravery in the field. His own medals include a Long Service medal with the volunteers prior to the first world war. The Mons Star, and Allied Medal. Chief Paudash has kept in his possession a blood stained flag. It is tattered, perhaps the first Canadian flag. On this the Union Jack is in one corner of a red background. This flag, made by the tribe in 1775 was carried through the American Revolution and the war of 1812. Many honors have been con- ferred upon Chief Paudash dur- ing his lifetime. He was present- ed to King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth when their Maj- esties visited | at Brantford just prior to the last war. He was a well known figure in Lindsay, and was a member of the Lind- say branch of the Canadian Le- gion. SECURITY GUARD The late Sir Sam Hughes was a close friend. After the war he served 25 years as a rural mail carrier. He was a member of the Corps of Commissionaires and was a security guard at Ajax for four years. A soft spoken man, he never tired of working for 'his people".

A crack shot with a rifle, he had no love for hunting. His daughters sald 'he would not hurt a fly." Fond of children he always carried candies in his pockets. Dogs were attracted to him because he always petted any he would meet and slip a candy to them Fond of travelling he covered Canada and the U.S.A. from coast to coast many times. It was one of his proud boasts that his forefathers all lived beyond the normal span of years to the 100 year mark. USED WOODEN SKATES Among his recollections was the fact that he once skated on wooden skates. One of his favor- ite comments on the present day was that the younger generation never seemed satisfied. He eninv- ed skating to well past his 70th year. He was always fond ef sports. He was the son of Chief Rob- ert Paudash and was born at Hiawatha, Rice Lake, Ontario. He married Florence Johnston in 1905. She prececeased him in 1945. Active all his years, Chief Paudash eujoyed good health until the past few months when his great age became apparent, Surviving relatives are a broth- er George, four daughters, and three sons. Belva (Mrs. Heenan) and Nellie of Pickering town- ship, Florence (Mrs. Duncan Haynes) of Lindsay; Dorothy (Mrs. E. Coons) of Cambrai, On- tario; George of Pickering; Larry of Brooklin, and John of Pickering. The late Chief Paudash rest- ed at 'he McEachnie Funeral Home, Pickering, until 2 p.m, Tuesday, then at the McArthur Funeral Home, Lindsay. The fu- neral service will be in "the tchapel Thursday.
