ORLON LIVINGSTON Editor The Independent There was great confusion in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon when the members t:ltheml for the daily opening sesâ€" sion for they were buried under a deluge of luscious Grimsby Peaches, so also was the gallery of the Fourth Estate. It is safe to say that never in the history of any parliament in the world, or any Press Gallery, have the members ever gazed upon or eaten such lovely, ju:edy. flavorable fruit. And it was grown, packed and shipped from Grimsby. HOUSE OF COMMONS AW AKENED Grimsby Peaches Three years ago the daily newspapers of Ontario ans Quebec saw fit to attnerthe red leno covering used by the growers of the Niâ€" agara Peninsula on their baskets that conâ€" tained various types of fruit, particularly peaches and grapes. This m?uper Qt tangled up in that controversy as did N. Jâ€" M. "Mac‘" Lockhart, then Member of Parliament for Lincoln. There also entered into the picture a member of parliament from the wild and rocky bush country of British Columbia, by the name of George Cruickshank. He saw fit to take advantage of the argument and boom B.C.mehulm;ldnzlohrnto K:uent every of the House with a x of B.C. peaches and apples. He has never let that campaign die. He probably will now. It was my pleasure on Tuesday afterâ€" noon to stand in the packing house on the {:;'m t;fc Cecil M. Bonham and gh 200 u:; of Grimsby peaches g pack for shipment to m: for the members of the House of Commons. No finer fruit was ever grown on any farm in any country in the world. For size, color, flavor, juice and what have you, it could not be beaten anyâ€" where. The packing was done by the two most expert women fruit ‘reken in Ontario, Mrs. Wray Fisher and Mrs: Wally.

Battle of the Sign Miss Dixon was the first to ap» pear in the witness box and told the lengthy story of the battle of the sign. She purchased the land and the building, which she conâ€" verted into a restaurant. In May, 1948, and in June of that year bought the parcel of land nearest the Queen Elizabeth Way froin W. O.

She refused to remove the algn at Mr. Wrightman‘s requent and asked to see his supervisor, C G. Fuirs, before any action was taken. Mr. Fairs did not come to see her, Miss Dixon testified.

The highways inspector left the building and according to Mins Dixon‘s testimony, went out and sawed down the sign, leaving it lyâ€" Ing in the field,. Four days later, ahe said, a tow truck came and reâ€" moved the damagad sign from the feld, leaving it propped up against her building, where she said it was blown down by wind and broken in two.
