By utilizing & special grade of sand found on the beaches of Loch Aline in Argyllshire, this industry is going to manufacture high quality eolor ed glassware, The idea was horn in the mind of Robin Sinclair Caithness councillor Was ahle to enlist the support on the form of capital from some well known Highlanders, and launch the project in a factory built by ihe the governme ni INSIDE YOU Whe appointed, and now the gover t seems to be gambling that between the presentation of the commission's report and the May 15 deadline, it can produce some sort of solution that will at least resolve the present deadlock between the railways and their employes, A temporary solution, however, is not good enough, Not the least of the con- siderations is that railway workers can- not be treated like second-class citizens in the world of labor, with Parliament stepping in periodically to freeze their wages and forbid their strike action, What is called far-reaching action to give the railways stability, not for is simply a patchwork revision of freight rates, It may for example, that privately-owned lines should be taken be, into the nationally-owned system Challenged "We found 192 women and children, who were murdered by the Soviets in the Tartu jail" Nor Mr, Luitsalu his denial of the Tass Estonian Central Council, 15,000 Canadian - Estonians, backed him with this "Alex Luitsalu never participated in any crimes com- mitted by the Nazi occupation forces in Estonian in the years 1940.41, Neither has he ever been a commissar of the 8.D, as alleged by Tass, On the contrary, Mr, Luitsalu is a living witness to countless atrocities committed by the Communists" On his own behalf the Toronto man added; "I can name 500 Estonians now living in Canada who can disprove the Communists lies about me." In the story it distributed here the Russian news agency addressing itself to Canadians with the words, "We should like John Diefenbaker and the Canadian people to know," But it is the whole truth that Canadians would like to know and in may be hoped that Mr, Luitsalu will succeed in his attempt to make Tass the libel action, Failing that, some official help in pre. senting sworn evidence on his side of would not out of order, Somehow it should be displayed to Tass that in this country libel is a serious matter added persons, men, does stand alone charges, The representing statement defendant in a the case be Dispute About Power I'he Cornwall seems to rok o David, country's largest electric utility Goliath Mayor L, G, Levigne wants the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission to sell electricity to his eity's two privately mayor of the Ontario city ol have been cast in the with the as his owned distributing The wall power companies, that only if Corn the Commission indicates will get its power city buys out the two companies and forms a municipal public utility, But the mayor seems to have right if not might on his side, for the Commission's state The Oshawa Times TL WILSON, Publisher and General Manager € GWYN KINSEY, Editor art Street Monte eal SUBSCRIPTION RATES Average Daily Net Paid as of April 30, 1960 16,999 ment, reported by the Canadian Press, is that the basis of its policy for not selling electricity to the private operators is that they would be able to resell it to the public more cheaply than the 354 municipally-owned systems now in the "Hydro family" This David-and-Goliath contest came light when the Commission applied to the National Energy Board for licen ces to export what it defined as "surplus power" to customers in New York state, The Cornwall mayor appeared at the Ottawa hearing to argue that it was no "surplus power," since his city will face acute power shortage within Further, he urged the Energy Board to deny the export licences because, while the Commission was prepared to sell power to private corporations in New York state, it would not with Cornwall's can, an three to four years deal two private campanies, Mayor Levigne gave the Board two pretty sound arguments to counter the Commission's suggestion that Cornwall could solve its power problems by buying out the private companies and setting up a municipal system, One was that the cost of establishing a municipally owned public utility would involve an initial outlay of $5 million, an expense the city could bear at The other was that the city believes the costs of power to Cornwall consumers would increase if the city established & public utility, There is wide support for the theory that non-profit public ownership is al not this time ways the cheapest way of doing some thing.
