The 24-year-old farmer's wife won the Miss Great Brit- ain contest in Morecambe, Lancashire. --(CP Wirephoto) 'Norris In TORONTO (CP) -- Liberal Leader .John Wintermeyer's charge that there was "heavy trafficking" in lucrative Ontario social club licences in late 1961 has been denied by Provincial Secretary John Yaremko before the province's royal commission jon ies The minister also sought Tues- day to reject Mr. Wintermeyer's allegation that criminals used the club charter system to "ex- the law,, but was re- Justice W. D. Roach that the inquiry has received much evi- dence of unlawful gambling ac- tivities carried on behind the cloak of charters. Mr. Yaremko, first witness called as the investigation dis- engaged temporarily from its running battle with gambler Vincent Feeley to look into the club system, undertook a point- i reply to the Liberal leader's legislature speech of last Nov. 29, which touched off the inquiry. He came before the commis- sion with a 75,000-word brief re- inforced with 15 appendices, all adding up to 1,465 pages of de- partmental organization, history and defence of policies stretch- ing back for years. He was bout half-way through when Miviios Trafficking' Denied Before Probe chance to read his "formidable" submission in advance. But Mr. Justice Roach refused to grant an adjournment for Mr. Brewin and Liberal party coun- sel B, J, MacKinnon when they sought time to digest the hefty volumes. The commissionr said enough time already had been wasted--a reference to the last two weeks bost through Feeley's court moves, © Much of Mr, Yaremko's pres- 'jentation now is history. It is dated March 19, the day the commission started operations, and it deals heavily with the allegations of Mr, Wintermeyer, some of which.were not too fresh last November and many of which have been touched on in previous evidence. The Liberal leader had stated that 'beyond any reasonable doubt there has been and is a heavy trafficking in the charters of so-called clubs." The secretary said Mr. Win- termeyer had presented no evi- dence to substantiate this. But 9 Witnesses he himself declared that early in 1960, after reports of such trafficking, the law had been tightened and five licences can- celled as a result. The department felt this effectively stopped the practice and it was incorrect that it was going on in November, 1961, JUDGE INTERRUPTS When the minister said Mr, Wintermeyer had submitted no evidence to justify his claim of "exploitation" by, criminals through the club charter sys- tem, Mr. Justice Roach stepped in to state that there had been evidence that 'certain persons" carried on unlawful activities "hidden behind club charters." In response to the commis- sioner's question as to whether he would deal with this evidence the provincial secretary, whose department has tight power over issuance of charters, said he had not had the opportunity of reading this evidence but igo be pleased to comment ii would draw it to his attention. "There are volumes of evi- dence,"' Mr. Justice Roach said. Much of it had dealt with gam- ing activities carried on at the Roseland Club in Windsor, the Centre Road Club at Cooksville the commission lawyers|.

RECALLS FROM MEMORY Mr. Todd dredged his mem- ory to testify about the 1952 "trial"--only to be confronted later by what SIU lawyer Bruce Thomas said was the transcript of the hearing. Maurice Wright, lawyer for the Canadian Labor Congress and several affiliated unions, promptly asked for an early ad- journment to study the surprise document, "This is a document we have ry looking for for years," he Farm Families Fear Hunters On Weekends BELLEVILLE, Ont. (CP)-- Farm families in Ameliasburg township, 120 miles from Tor- onto, say they live in fear of weekends, For every weekend hunters from Toronto converge in car- loads for two days of shooting. Farmers fear for the safety of their children. Threats have been made to farmers who bar hunters from their land. Two weeks ago a hunter was shot. He was among a party which ignored trespass notices at the boundary of Harvey Brown's farm. When Mr. Brown warned them to leave, they refused. The farmer fetched/a shotgun from the house, and one of the men was shot in the leg. : Brown has been charged with shooting with intent to wound. Monday night 125 local resi- dents met the. Ameliasburg bk ang Council to discuss the em. A resident of nearby Consecon Lake told the meeting she called police after she discoy- ered a group of hunters shooting eons in her barn.

He said he delivered copies of the 1952 SIU contract to sea- men aboard a ship owned by Reoch Steamships Line, but was told by the captain that Mr. Banks had made a "private deal" with the shipowner that the terms of the contract were not to be enforced and copies were not to be given to the sea- men, backdoor." He contended that he was given no opportunity to substan- tiate the charges against Mr. Banks at the "trial," "It was strictly putting me on trial and whitewashing Banks," he said. APPOINTED IN OCTOBER Mr. Todd said he was ap- pointed secretary - treasurer of the CMU last Oct, 16--seven days after the Maritime Union was formally founded. He said he receives a monthly salary of $400 plus certain expenses while CMU President Michael Shee- han gets $500 a month.

Later, the total was brought to 14. No complaints were received about eight.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS British Market Program Fought By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Britain is poised at midfield on her drive into Europe, but the Commonwealth family's tight defensive formation fore- shadows a desperate goal-line stand, Pointed speeches by Canada, Pakistan, New Zealand, Aus- tralia and India, following in rapid succession on the second day of the conference of prime ministers, suggest that Britain's sister nations are as reluctant as ever to see her cross the channel, All are speaking circum- spectly. The tone is milder but the case remains substantially the same, In reminding the United Kingdom of lukewarm te- ments about the European ¢éon- nection made three years ago by British ministers, Prime Minister Diefenbaker may have used a technique as. em- barrassing as the more forth- right criticisms expressed by Canadian spokesmen at the Commonwealth meeting in Ghana a year ago. KEEPS PLANS SECRET Whitehall is unlikely to dis- play much enthusiasm over Diefenbaker's vague references about '"'alternatives" to British membership in the European Economic Community. It is un- derstood the prime minister lans to keep these alternatives i" a pigeonhole unless his Com- monwealth colleagues insist that he produce them. "He keeps waving these al- ternative plans in the back- ground, but with strings at- tached," one British source commented. 'Why doesn't he put m on the table? After all, s had plenty of time." In meetings with reporters, Diefenbaker has declined to give the slightest clue to any new Canadian proposals. It is understood he may hold them in reserve for discussion by the Canadian Parliament after his return, Before the Marlborough House talks opened, there was a disposition in some sophisti- cated circles to write the con- ference off as a sham fight with an inevitable conclusion. Britain is halfway into Europe, it was argued, and nothing the Commonwealth countries may say will make any difference. GETTING OWN MEDICINE Much of the opposition to British entry has come from Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the "old white" dominions whose fully indepen- dent status within the Common- wealth was given legal recogni- tion by the Statute of West- minser in 1931, Some observers comment tartly on the irony of a situa- the: he' tion in which countries that clamored in 1931 for liberty of action now appear to be deeply upset when Britain, the founder of their freedom, seeks a little independence for herself. "You could say the Statute of Westminister is coming back to clobber us," said one Common- wealth source. tipped them by telephone the sea lion was sunning on rocks. Dr. Scollard, curator of the zoo, said Jocko was covered with several small wounds and had one large wound just in front of his left flipper. "He was probably just worn out from running around the lake," Dr. Scollard said, "and that's why he was captured so easily.""
