The 789 people in the Lake Erie village of Port Rowan are being asked for $789 to support 12 welfare agencies sharing in the Norfolk County Community Chest. Some 1,600,000 residents of Metropolitan Toronto have been an objective of $9,- 717,000 to help out 83 services taking part in the local United _Appeal.

Five years ago, some 90 sep- arate appeals raised $25,500,000 and last year the total topped $32,000,000.

Ot- tawa aiming at $1,110,000, had raised more than half the target figure by the halfway stage. But publicity chairman Mike Roberts said he was worried of tag days and fund drives. Opponents argue sometimes | that their own favorite charity could do better on its own.) They say the emphasis on or-) ganization and instalment giv- ing through payroll deductions taks spontaniety out of charity and exerts a subtle pressure on both givers and receivers to the mass. Indications are that the ap- peal of the United-Appeal idea is levelling off in some centres after the boom years of the 1950s, when agencies joined up most 30 per cent and total con- tributions grew by more than two - thirds. In the last five years, the number of cam- jpaigns has grown at about the same rate while giving has in- creased by less than half the rate of the 1950-54 period. Of the 35 cities checked this year, five have pegged their objectives at the same totals as last year and six have lowered their sights after repeated fail- ures to reach increasing goals in previous years. Sydney, Trois-Rivieres, North Bay, Saskatoon and Penticton held their targets at last year's level while Toronto, Brantford, Brockville, Cornwall, Kingston and Moose Jaw ail lowered in d and contrib ex. panded year by year. their objectives. Hbecause the drive was r two per cent behind last year's |performance while the goal is $88,000 higher. He blamed government au- sterity measures, which meant thousands of civil servants did mot get expected salary in- creases. Moose Jaw was 28 per cent off target after almost a month of campaigning:Lecal United Appeal officials said slow prog- ress resulted from poor crop in Saskatchewan last year and a drop in city business this year. This year's target was lowered to $95,000 from $100,000.

He said the Farm Credit Cor- poration seeks to establish eco- nomically - sound farm units its lending activity rather than merely maintaining 4\non-economic farm operations. That was the only reason why 4\some farmers might be refused loans, he said in answer to Que- bec and Ontario criticism that A\small farmers have trouble get- *4\ting 'oans. Quebec Leader Real Caouette Alof Social Credit said eastern 4\Canada needs the same policy as now applied to Prairie farm- ers--government guarantees of "\produce purchasing. He appar- ently referred to the Canadian wheat board which buys wheat, oats and barley, although only on a quota: system when sup- plies are in surplus condition. Farmers who had _ govern- ment - assured markets could produce themselves out of trou- ble, Mr. Caouette said. Loans were no solution. The matter remained under discussion when the sitting ended, EXCHANGE WORDS Strong words -- "perfidy," "lies" and 'betrayal' -- were exchanged between Mr. Caou- ette and Lionel Chevrier, Que- bec Liberal spokesman, in a spat over Mr, Chevrier's tele- vision attack' on the 26 Social Credit embers from that prov- ince, ' Finance Minister Nowlan, after a day's deliberation, agreed to provide day-by-day figures of payments from the Quebec .

Registered Music Teachers' Association Of Oshawa and District Presents the Annual Prize-Winners' Recital held SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20 ot the McLAUGHLIN PUBLIC LIBRARY COLLECTION By JOHN LEBLANC pass a government anti-gambling regu- |lations in favor of two Toronto Chinese clubs, directly disput- ing evidence given Monday to the Ontario royal commission on crime. He said former provincial ecretary Mackinnon Phillips must have been under a "'total misunderstanding' when he said the premier "'advised" that the two clubs were to be ex- empted from the regulation calling for forfeiture of social club charters for possession of gambling equipment. "T issued no such instructions, nor did I imtend to,"' said the lretined premier, who_told the commission he y was the author of the tough clause adopted in 1950. R. J. Cudney, deputy provin- cial secretary, testified Monday that the two organizations--the Chinese Anti-Communist '.Club and the Chinese Athletic Club --were facing possible loss of their charters when Dr.- Phillips came to the rescue with orders that the equipment clause , be deleted from the charters, purportedly on the premier's say-so. 'WOULD BE PUT RIGHT' The two clubs remain the only ones in the province with this special treatment, but Mr. Frost said Thursday Attorney- General Kelso Roberts has told him this will be '"'put right" promptly. Mr, Frost, who came out of rural retirement at "Lindsay, Ont., to make his second ap- pearance before the commis- sion after reading of the Phil- lips incident, also offered--but was not taken up -- to testify publicly or privately about: 1. Why he created the On- tario racing commission and put Toronto Magistrate S. Tup- per Bigelow--"the toughest guy around" -- in charge of it. 2. Why for years he main- ltained a ban against night horse-racing in Ontario"against all sorts of pressures" and with millions of dollars involved un- til it was lifted last year. ("It probably wouldn't have stood the test. of the courts."') 3. Conversations with Michi- gan and New York authorities on crime and dope rings. 4. Discussions with RCMP Commissioner C. W. Harvison about "people and affairs." 5. The current resurrection and amalgamation of ancient hamess-racing charters to pro- vide major mew track opera- tions in the Ottawa and Wind- sor areas. / Mr, Frost did no more than mention these points, and after Mr. Justice W. D. Roach, the commissioner, ad- journed the public sittings un- til Monday for questioning of provincial Secretary John Yar- emko on evidence he gave ear- lier in defence of his depart- ment's administration of social club charters, Under present i. Me. Yaremko will be the final wit- tess of the public sessions that started March 20. There may be brief further private sittings on the final in- quiry aspect of crime in On- tario generally -- one was held Wednesday after which the commissioner was expected to start preparing his report. There has been no indication of when this distillation of some 4,000,000 words of evidence will be delivered. Before Mr. Frost appeared Thursday, the commission con- cluded 3% days of testimony by Mr. Cudney with these develop- ments: 1, The deputy secretary, who has testified to evident manipu- lation of club charters by gam- blers, said he has never been under "'coercion" by politicians, though he has had "representa- tions" 7 a variety of subjects. 2 r, Cudney said social clubs 'have been a "bugbear" of his department for 30 years, with gambling or betting as the chief troubles. 3. New Democratic Party counsel Patrick Lawlor, exam- ining the deputy, said the evi- dence indicates there has been "trafficking" im at least 25 club charters, though commis- sion counsel Roland F. Wilson said he -counted only six. GAMBLING NOT ALLOWED The other witness Thursday was Sam Saltcman, treasurer of the Apter Friendly Society of Toronto, who said the club con- sisted of a Polish - descended group and permitted no gambl- ing on_its premises. According to earlier evidence, the club got its licence through the imterven- tion of Atian Grossman, now a minister without portfolio, in the face of an unfavorable po- lice reports. "Nothing Mr. Grossman did for his constituents was wrong, and there is no evidence of bookmaking or of this social club masquerading for a gam- bling club," said club counsel R. R, Hail. Former premier Frost, who read of the Chinese Club inci- dent while.on a hunting trip, said he hadn't been having good luck on the trip and '"'this didn't con- tribute to its success." He said that the stiff clause barring gambling parapharena- lia in social clubs had met with cpposition in some quarters and Dr. Phillips had "accumulated a considerable antipathy' to- wards it. Mr. Frost thought the former secretary--who left the cabinet in 1960--may have be- lieved it affected only Chinese groups. Mr. Frost had told him to try his hand at a better regulation if he could produce one, and Dr. Phillips did so. It was rejected by the cabinet July 30, 1959. Meanwhile, the minister had put through the relief for the two | cleats | clubs about two months before.icedure. PARLIAMENT NOTEBOOK» Frost Denies Advising Exemption Of 2 Clubs| justices. But no one has been able to improve on it." He had not heard of the Phil- lips - ordered change until it came out before the commis- sion. "I disagree with it entirely," he said. "But I suppose Dr, Phillips thought a few little Chinese were being pushed around." Mr. Frost also expressed puz- ziement that Dr. Phillips should have written him in July of 1959 -- as earlier evidence show for advice on what fo do about the Chan So- cial Club, another Toronto Chinatown establishment, which police wanted closed because of gambling. The former premier said he had no recollection of the letter and could not, under- stand why the minister would write the head of government about a routine departmental matter, The charter eventually was cancelled the following Decem- ber, and Mr. Frost commented: "Well, they did the right thing, but it took them a lot of time." The Chan Club cropped up in Mr. Cudney's testimony, when Mr. Lawlor noted that depart- mental files showed that, well before the cancellation, police had inf the government that thé \club officers admitted charging for the use of gaming tables, an action that calls for charter forfeiture. 'WROTE MEMO' "I wrote a memo about that," the deputy said. However, this was not acted on, and the char- ter eventually was lied for EX-PREMIER FROST AT CRIME PROBE other reasons. Mr. Frost also told the com- mission he never had intervened in any way on behalf of the Italian Niagara Frontier Club of Niagara Falls. According to earlier evidence, when the club was seeking to get mew prem- ises over police opposition, Mayor F. J. Miller of Niagara |Falls had stated that the then |premier favored the original in- jcorporation of the club. Mr, Frost said it was prob- able the mayor may have men- tioned the club to him at some time, but "'everybody comes to you when you're premier' and he had a standard brushoff pro- OTTAWA (CP) -- A pariia- mentary precedent, once cre- kelet, hidd Interim Supply Runs Out Oct. 31 1956, George Drew, then oppo- sition leader and now Canadian ated, is like a away in a closet. It can pop out at the most embarrassing times. This is the analogy lurking in MP's minds as the Commons faced its first interim supply bill today. Interim supply is the advance Parliament usually gives the government to pay its bills until the Commons and Senate get around to passing the annual appropriation acts. So far this fiscal year, Par- lkament hasn't passed a penny. Since April 1, the government has been paying its bills--in- cluding the civil service--on the authority of interim supply bills. Finance Minister Nowlan Rabbi Beaten, Dies In Street NEW YORK (AP)--A_ rabbi died Thursday as a result of a beating on the streets of Brook- lyn Monday night. His death set off an almost hysterical demon- stration by Jews. y About 10,000 mourners gath- ered in the streets of the Wil- liamsburgh section of Brooklyn. The body was borne in a pine coffin to a police station as a protest against what demonstra- tors called inadequate : police protection. A sound truck moved through the area, the announcer repeat- ing '"'We want our homes to be safe, The streets are not safe." The victim, Rabbi Bernard Eisdorfer, 55, never regained consciousness from the beating which occurred in a residential district as he was _ returning from a Talmudic study meeting with worshippers. A youth found him uncon- scious on the street and called police. Officers said an autopsy showed he suffered a fractured skull, brain damage and head injuries.

LAUNCH DEBATES On two occasions in 1957, be- fore the general election of that year, the Conservatives in op- position launched debates. Among the party's speakers were John Diefenbaker, now prime . minister, and Donald Fleming, now justice minister. After the 1957 election when the Conservatives first came to power with minority control of the Commons, and in 1958 when they had a sweeping majority, |debates again arose on interim jsupply measures. Though Mr. Fleming as finance minister protested, the new Liberal op- position was quick to point out who established the precedents, Now the government finds 'it- Bishop Declines Montreal Post OTTAWA (CP) --Rt.
