PAGE TWENTY ~ ~ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1940 BOMB DAMAGE 10 GREENWICH NOT FELT HERE Ottawa Observatory : Stabilizes Canadian Time 2 But Shipping May Suffer artial destruction of Greenwich ory by Nazl bombers, [Which was revealed last Friday, will ve no immediate effect in Can- , according to observatory and asiversity officials. In the long run, however, there will be some effect if the damage {s considerable because all British ships are directed by means of cal- culations published by Greenwich Observatory. Canadian time is stabilized by the Observatory at Ot tawa, the officials said. The Greenwich Observatory is re- sponsible for publishing a "Nautical Almanac" giving this data and also does other astronomical work of less importance. In peace time these almanacs which are also published in other countries, are made up on a co- operative basis, but a staff is main- tained in England so that the almanac may be issued independ- ently. The British and American observatories exchange data, but in- fercourse between Germany and the other two has been stopped. Used by Germans "The Germans are dependent in their year book, "Berliner Jahr- bach," to a great extent on the ob- servations made at Greenwich. Greenwich time which is used by them is known for nationalistic pur- poses as "Weltzeit" or "universal time." The Russians wanted to measure latitude and longitude from Moscow in the 1920's, but they found that it would be too difficult and decided to let Greenwich keep this distinc- tion. The Greenwich Observatory is en- tirely under the control of the British Government and the director of the Observatory automatically Decomes the Astronomer Royal. The 1941 Nautical Almanac has been published and the damage to the observatory might, if consider- able, prove embarrassing to the pub- Heation in 1942, which would in turn embarrass the direction of Britain's merchant and naval marine. Third Oldest in World The Greenwich Observatory is the third oldest in the world. It was founded in 1675 by Charles II, who made a grant of 500 pounds to Christopher Wren, the famous architect, to design and build it for the use of Britain's expanding mer- chant marine and navy. The ob- servatory at Leyden was built in 1632, that at Paris followed in 1671 It was disclosed Friday that the revolving globe and the observatory clock had been damaged and parts of the telescope room also had suffered. The famous time ball con- tinues to function and at 1 p.m. each day the Observatory sends the exact time to English cities by an electrical impulse. COBOURG TO ELECT TWO-YEAR COUNCIL No Provision Made to Abolish Parks Commis- sion as 200 Names Not Signed Cobourg, Dec. 11--Cobourg voters not having filed a petition with the town council for a by-law to vote upon election day regarding the two-year term for the 1941 council, next year's council will sit for two 'years. The council of the present year has not availed itself on its own initiative of the right to place such a by-law before the people on elec- tion, interpreting the lack of pub- lic expression on the matter as acquiescence of the voters to the two year term idea. The last coun- cil meeting was the dead line and when no petition was forthcoming, the two-year term became auto- matic. Council was advised by the Muni- cipal World that there was no pro- vision at this time for abolition of the parks board as requested by a comparatively small petition two weeks ago. The councll was advised not to put it to a vote unless it re- ceives a petition of 200 names, or the same number required to secure a vote to set it up. Council took no action in regard to a request from A. N. B. Rogers for an additional grant to pay off creditors of the Old Boys Jamboree, held two years ago.

"The artificial heart which has been implanted in the people of Germany can't beat that long," he said... He referred to Chas. A. Lind- bergh, who gained repute with his flight across the Atlantic and who more recently had developed an artificial heart. "Now Lindbergh has been found to have an artificial heart himself," the speaker said, "but the American people told him what they also told John L. Lewis--and #f2cted the greatest statesman on this continent to a third term as president, in the effort to convince Britain that they not only have a friend, but fellow- participants in the struggle for humanity and democracy. Now the Lindberghs, the Lewis's and the Fords have gone into their rat holes, and we have to produce all we can to help and strengthen the hands of democracy." "When the war is over we will find ourselves in a new world," add- ed the speaker. "Labor will assume a new role in an entirely new way. It will come into its own but not at the expense of other branches of society." 4th Peterboro Man Loses Life In War Peterboro, Dec. 11--The fourth Peterboro man to lose his life in the war, Christy Albert Mason, a private of the Rpyal Canadian Army Service Corps, died in a motor accident in England on Dec. 7, according to word received from Ottawa by his father, Albert Mason, a member of the Peterboro Fire Department. No details were given in the official telegram, Private Mason, who celebrated his 20th birthday last may, was the first man to enlist in Peterboro, having been accepted for service with the Permanment Force on Sept. 2, 1939, the day before (England declared war. For four years previously he had been a sergeant with the Prince of Wales Rangers (M.G.), having attained this rank at the exception- ally early age of 16 years. "It's pretty tough, but I suppose we have to expect that," said Fire- man Mason, a Great War veteran, after receiving news of his elder son's death. Private Mason's mother and a brother and sister, Jack and Betty, are left to mourn his loss. BILTMORE LAST TIMES TODAY!

N COAL BENES 50 SURE BRITAIN'TO WIN FORMS COUNCIL Former President in London Plans Re-Estab- lishment Czech Republic London, Dec. 11--Germany has lost the war , former President Eduard Benes, of Czechoslovakia, sald in a press conference. Announcing the formation of a Czechoslovak "state council" to func- tion here as an advisory body until Parliament takes over, Benes ex- pressed his belief in "the certainty of British victory and the certainty of the re-establishment of the re- public" at Prague. Benes said he felt the war was in the second half, "where the Axis will begin to descend," because: 1. "Only two countries in the world can be master of the seas-- Great Britain and the United States. 2. "The aviation potential in the hands of Great Britain and the United States is so big it cannot be equalized by Germany." Benes listed further reasons for his confidence: tion which assured continuation of American ald to Great Britain with- | out a break; the victory of Britain in the Battle of England; war against Greece; the increasing difficulties of Germany in all oc- | cupled countries where Germans are | facing an impossible task; the in- creasing difficulties of Germany | from an economic, financial and | moral point of view and as a con- sequence of the blockade."

One hundred and ten hogs from ship- ping point No, 1 were carcass-grad- ed as 50 per cent "A's" and 85 per cent of the carcasses were of weights suitable for sizeable Wilt- shires, Eighty-seven hogs from shipping point No. 2 were carcass- graded as 34 per cent "A" and 60 per cent were of weights suitable for sizeable Wiltshires. While both these shipments were of good quality, it may be readily seen that the hogs from shipping point No. 1 were of much superior quality, and in this connection it is of interest to note that hogs pur- chased at shipping point No. 1 had been bought from the farmer on the carcass basis for a considerable period while at shipping point No, 2 the practice has been for the dro- ver to do his own grading for pur- poses of settlement to the farmer. Even though a drover may be effi- client at grading, .his work cannot be as accurate as carcass grading, and as is shown in this instance, hog quality suffers accordingly. The Hog Carcass Grading Regu- lations now require that all hogs be settled for to the farmer accord. ing to official carcass grading.
