THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1940 PAGE SE ILSLEY WARNS BIG LEVELLING FACING PUBLIC Comforts of People in 'High Places' Expected to Be Reduced Montreal, Dec. 11.--A great deal of levelling of standards of living must go on in Canada to win the war, Finance Minister Ilsley said to- day in an address before a joint meeting of Montreal service clubs. "There are apostles of softness who believe that the government should not appeal for sacrifices on the part of the people," said Mr. Tisley, whose address was broadcast. "But, as someone said, we cannot win a 'made in Germany' war while enjoying a 'made in United States' standard of living. It is for all of us, rich and poor, to make a special effort during this war period to save, to avoid extravagance, to give up luxuries, to make sacrifices. "When we are calling upon the people of small incomes to deny themselves even some of their mod- est comforts, it is not too much to ask that there be plain living in high places." "Our mobilization must be econo- mical as well as military. Full scope must be given for the voluntary economic effort. The people are prepared for an intensification of this effort." Mr. Ilsley said civilians were not immune from "the inspiration of the heroic exploits of which they read," and he cited acting Capt. Fogarty Fegen, of the Jervis Bay, who, wounded, radioed to his convoy. "Am closing up closer to the ene- my." "This is today the spirit of Brit- ain. Let us make it the spirit of Canada," he urged. Discussing war savings, Mr. Isley said he believed its "significance is underrated by many people, par- ticularly those in our financial centres." The government must reach the wage earner, the farmer and others with small or moderate incomes. This could be done by war savings stamps, he said. THIEVES CRACK SCHOOL VAULT TAKING $100 Believe Robbers One Who Burgled Collegiate Four Years Ago Belleville, Dec. 11-~Police investi- gating the burglary of the Belleville Collegiate vault during the week- end are convinced the persons re- sponsible are the ones who, four years ago, successfully burgled the school in almast the identical fash- fon. So coolly did the burglars work that four doors were broken open before 15 inches of brick and plaster in the office of Principal P. C. Mac- Laurin were drilled through into the vault. The loot amouted to slightly more than $100. of which half con- sisted of War savings stamps. A considerably larger amount of money in a large safe in the prin- cipal's office was intact due to in- ability of the robbers to crack the safe. After breaking into a basement window, the burglar forced two doors before 'reaching the main floor. There tools necessary to enter the vault were obtained from the tool-room of the vocational depari- ment of the ool. Detective Fred Isard, in charge of the investigation, took fingerprints which have beén forwarded to Ot- tawa for identification, and a care- snow outside is also being INDUSTRY FACTOR IN WINNING WAR Importance and Develop- ment Traced by Speaker at Rotary Club Whitby, Ontario, December 11.-- "Our main thought is that we must win the war and that every- thing else must be submerged order to bring this about," declared Haydon MacDonald of Oshawa in an educational address on the hiss tory, development" land importance of the tobacco industry, given at the weekly luneheor of Whitby Ro tary Club, Tuesday; at Hotel Wh by. Mr. MacDonald said that in this effort to win the war the tobacco industry was playing a part, He was introduced by Rotarian Gray- don M. Goodfellow. Turning back the pages Of his- ' tory, Mr. MacDonald gave & very interesting historical "background of the discovery of wha%, he was pleased to term a very beneficial weed.

It was estimated that the public would buy this year 7,500, 000,000 cigarettes, and that 30,000,- 000 would buy smoking tobacco, and this despite the general price in- crease. It was Mr. MacDonald's opinion that the industry coula stand a still larger taxation be- cauce, he declared, "we have not yet been asked to make by way of sacrifice as much as we are willing to give." In the tobacco industry, therefore, he saw possibilities of more revenue for the government to carry on the war and he felt that the consumers would be will- | ing to pay. He pointed out also that England was now buying mil- lions of dollars worth of tobacco in Canada formerly bought in the United States and this was furnish. ing the British government with ready cash to help the exchange system. Touching on the historical aspect of tobacco, Mr. MacDonald said that the first actual knowledge of it was acquired by the sailors of Columbus when they landed at Cuba where natives were observed thrusting sharp Instruments into leaves which proved to be tobacco. Tobacco was also associated with tribal services and religious rites, and in the 15th century doctors and herbalists used it as medicine for over a hundred kinds of illnesses for which It was supposed to be a cure. The speaker pointed out that great strides had been made in the growing and marketing of tobacco in Canada. It was first introduced in Essex County by Charles C. Mel- vin, who came from Maryland. Ih Essex and bordering counties a great deal of tobacco was grown today and he. believed that it had paid the producers well, except in one year in twelve, and six of these years were years of depression. In closing, Mr. MacDonald gave some detalls of the marketing and mer- chandising of tobacco and stressed the importance of the industry. The vote of thanks to Mr. Mac- Donald was given by Rotarian J. M. Roblin, James Heffering, well-known dis- trict farmer, was welcomed as a new member of the club, and a visitor was the Honourable Gordon D. Conant, K.C.,, Attorney-General of Ontario, a member of the Osh- awa Club. Canadian Corps Head Wants Conscription Toronto, Dec. 10. (CP)--Col, C. | E.
