PAGE TEN N THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1940 CANADIAN WHEAT DEAL WITH FRANCE NOW CANCELLED Britain Refuses to Approve Sale as Blockade is Tightened Vichy, France, Aug. 10.--Cansda has cancelled a French Government order for 100,000 tons of wheat be- cause 'Great Britala refused to lift her blockade so that it could be delivered, it was learned today. The newspaper Temps said the Canadian Government had cancell- ed the order after Britain refused to approve the sale. The scheduled sailing of three Greek ships from Buenos Aires with Argentine wheat was cancelled by France when Britain notified the owners that the vessels would be subject to seizure. Practically all the wheat in the unoccupied areas nf France has been harvested. Considerable wheat has been harvested in the occupied areas also, but in the northern battlefields the crops have been damaged so badly that the cost of harvesting 't would be prohibitive. Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, Chief of State, me: with his cabinet last night smd mapped plans to count existing livestock in prepara- tion for meeting this winter's food needs. PLEADS GUILTY TO FALSE PRETENCES AND TO UTTERING Farm Worker Near Bow- manville Remanded for Sentence ' Bowmanville, Aug. 10.--Pleading guilty to four charges of uttering + and one of false pretences, Bruce Thornhill, Toronto relief farm place- * ment, was remanded one week in sustody for sentence by Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs in district court here Fri- day afternoon last. A charge of theft of two sows to a value of $24, property of the De- partment of Public Welfare. of the city of Toronto, was dismissed after evidence was heard. It was charged that Thornhill had during the month of July sold two sows and converted the money to his own use. The sows were part of a quantity of livestock and equipment given to accused when he had been put on a farm under the farm placement plan of the Department of Public Welfare, Toronto. Thornhill said there had been some misunderstanding as to whe- ther sows or calves were to be sold. He had been told to sell two calves, but declined to d> so because he figured he would get better value for the sows. He pleaded guilty to a charge of false pretenses by means of worth- less cheque which he passed in Burketon on June 17, and four charges of uti{ging. The uttering charges were that he did on June 25 pass and use as genuine a cheque | for $12.50 knowing the same to be forged, and had obtained cash and supplies from Mrs, E. C. Eliott at Cadmus. He also pleaded guilty to passing other forged cheques at the same store for $15, £22 and $7.20. 25 U.S. Editors To Tour Ontario Toronto, August 12--A party of 25 United States newspaper editors, eager to discover at first hand the attractions which Ontario offers American tourists, will undertake a tour of the province this week, it was learned today.

Beaverbrook is 'minister of aircraft production. The gift was announced 'by the ministry of alrcreft production which sald the Canadian presents to the ministry "16 Hurricanes and Spitfires to replace the total losses sustained by Britain in Thursday's battle aver the English Channel."
