McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON The continued in flux of Italian laborers into Brit ain to work in brickfields has aroused so great a storm of op position from one area to which they were being allocated that the ministry of labor has had to change its plans and arrange to send 500 Italian immigrants to another part of the country of similar work The opposition was spear headed by the corporation of the town of Bedford It objected strenuously to 500 more Italians being brought to Britain to work in the mid-Bedfordshire brick fields.

When they first come, the men stay at brick field hostels, They bring their families to England as soon as they can, or marry locally, Then they try to find a house in Bed ford ] HOUSING PROBLEM 'One way to solve the housing problem in Bedford would be to build special houses for the Ital ians near the brickfields, There plenty of land and certainly there are enough bricks in the neighborhood, "It seems rather strange that the people of Bedford do not want any more Italians, because the brickworks are desperate for lahor. There has to be some sort of compromise.' Italians have been coming over to Hritain to undertake laboring work since 1954, and have been very well assimilated. However, the problem in Bedford seems to be one of finding accommodation for them and their families I. B. Harwood, deputy clerk of Bedford, has about the situation 'Since the Italians first coming here in 1954, the authorities have always consulted when there has been a move to bring in more.

It is a symbol already officially adopted by no less than five states of the USA, includ. ing one significantly named "Em pire State", and also adopted hy many foreign businesses engaged in adulterating syrup, Like all subjects affecting the human heart, the flag question will always arouse dissent in Canada, But perhaps the greatest dissent will follow suggestions that we abandon all symbols redolent of our antecedents, the alr gushing in and out with esch bellow would evaporite moisture, leaving dry nosey in | sides that would crack like clay L In the hot Arizona sun ' KILI GERMS Tearful moisture covers dell cate tissue inside the nose with germ-killing lysozyme.
