First, let us correct a general feel- ing or impression that clothing is not being produced and shipped in as great quantities as before , , . 1045 was perhaps THE ALL-TIME PEAK YEAR in the number of units produced for civilians. Up to the present time, this year is keeping pace with last year and will likely continue to do so, barring strikes that may stop delivery of linings and trimmings which are already in short supply. The Canadian mills are produc- ing more yardage of civilian goods today than: ever before . . , perhaps too large a"percent- age is going to ladies wear . . . but they are producing, ' Any suggestion that the mills or man- ufacturers are holding shipments is pure rot! ; The Canadian and British mills are not producing as many fine worsteds, but there is a reason for that. To make it first requires a par- ticular type of wool . . . wool that can be combed to make tops. "Tops" 's wool processed to the point ready for spinning into worsted yarn. 'Wool Due to two seasons of drought in Australia they have lost millions of sheep , . . equivalent to two crop failures in Canada . . and while extraordinary demand of the war. And now almost every country in the world that makes textiles is clamouring for fine merino wool « + » and there just won't be suffi- cient of this fine wool to fill the demand. There is a very large stock pile, and no shortage, and not likely to be for years, of most, other types of wool. ? Top Making 3 ) _ The next problem is "Top Mak: wing." At the beginning of the war Lait was realized that practically the "entire top-making industry that supplied both England and Canada was centred within a few miles of Bradford, and should that district be blitzed there would be no cloth for uniforms or civilians . . . so they put on shifts working twenty-four hours, seven days a week, building up a huge reserve of tops and stor- ing them al} over the country. WHEN this reserve was built up, they then drafted the workers to other essential industries and all during the war this reserve stock pile was used for both DOMES- TIC AND EXPORT . require- ments. THERE IS, by the way, practi- cally no top-making in Canada + +. 50 we are dependent on Eng- land (a small amount comes from Australia) for tops and a large part of worsted yarns required to make worsted fabrics. DURING THE WAR, worsied yarns for uniforms were brought in from the United States . . . now the U.S. is in short supply and yarns from that source are not availabble. , . . THE RESERVE STOCK PILE in England has also been used up and they also find themselves" with a labour problem that as yet has not been solved, i Even now, almost a year after V-E DAY, the mills in England, , , and this applies to practically all | the branches of the industry . . . report their production staff still at only about 50% of the normal staff. After working in war indus- tries, it would seem that workers are just not going into textile mills. English mills, too, are clamouring for tops and yarns so it is not diffi- cult to understand the non-delivery of these essentials to the Canadian mills, which would give them an advantage over the . English mills who suffered such great handicaps during the war years. This that we t look to C ian mills for very great pro- duc of the finer qualities of worsteds until the situation out- lined above is improved. The English mills have done a splendid job all through the war and are doing everything possible to increase their production, but it is doubtful if Canada will receive any increase in English worsted fabrics. , It is a well-known fact that we have been receiving during the war practically their entire export quo- tas . . . they have gone without at home all during the war .'. , the clothes of the men and women of England are shabby and they are still rationed to such an extent that their clothes are worn and patched and they are desperately in need of all kinds of clothing. Then, too, they have buyers . . . old customers . , . from all parts of the world clamouring on their door- step for goods . . . countries that have not had one piece for five years or more and some of them willing to pay ANY PRICE. With this picture of their Labour Problems . .,. their Domestic Re. | quirements , . . and their Old Cus- | tomers' Demands it is not to be expected that Canada will get any | material increase in quota. Canada will, because of sentimental and financial reasons, continue to get goods while the folks at home still go without. Tweeds and Overcoatings Because of the different system of production, it is possible there will be more Canadian and, possi- bly, more English and Scotch tweeds and © available for 'Fall and Winter. The domestic over- coatings will be mostly in the lower price field. : iar More imported overcoatings should be available in 1947 due to a change in the allocation system ... from weight to square yard, When mills were allocated so many pounds for 'export, they naturally made more of the lighter weight materials . . . and since there does not seem to be any shortage of new wool, of the kind required for overcoating, it is MORE TWEED USE (Continued on Page 9) -- Protest Use of 0.P.P.

Dissatisfaction was voiced parti- cularly in connection with the use by the Ontario government of pol- ice in connection with the United Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers strike at the Anaconda American Brass plant in New Toronto. "The Provincial Police are simply slugging everyone around," M. J. Fenwick remarked and P, R.

FINAL APPEARANCE OF RADIO PASTOR HERE TUESDAY Gives Four Reasons Why Christians Should Not Be Worried The Voice of Prophecy cast made its last appearance before a large audience on the Seventh-day Ad- ventist campground, Tuesday eve- ning. Immediately preceding Pastor H. M. S. Richards' address, three much appreciated numbers were rendered by the King's Heralds Male Quartette. Pastor Richards traced the growth of the broadcast from humble be- ginnings to its present worldwide scope, He related many providen- tial happenings in the development of the program. Speaking on the Scripture found in John 14:1-3, the radio pastor pointed out four Teasons why Christians should not be worried. The first reason was given in the words of the scripture, "Ye believe in God." "Anyone who does not be- lieve in God is troubled," said Mr. Richards. "Science is a babe crying in the night and the greatest scien- tists in the world today are those who believe the Bible. "One eyeningy a number of Na- poleon's friends argued against the existence of God. Pointing to the starry heavens, Napoleon said, 'Your arguments are very clever, but who made these?' . The silence of the heavens provided the answer. "Believe Also In Me" "The 'second reason why we should not worry, is found in the words, 'Believe also in me.' To be- lieve in Jesus is to banish all worry and anxiety. To have "full confi- dence in Him is to enjoy serenity and peace of mind, which the world so greatly needs today. "The third reason is found in the words, 'In my Father's house are many mansions.' The anxieties of this life disappear before the con- viction that there is life beyond. In that life, there will be no housing shortage and all the - problems that alarm humanity today, and tax our greatest intellects, will be done away. "The fourth reason," concluded the speaker," is found in the words, 'I' will come again.' This assurance from the lips of our Divine Mas- ter, should bring rejoicing to all believers. Often, people speak of the grave as a last resting place. To me, it is not that at all. I don't plan to remain there long, I am looking for the uppertaker rather than the undertaker. From. the Bible, we do not know when He will come to call all followers from their dusty beds, but we know that He will come, and for that very purpose." Relates Mail Experiences D. A, Delafield, the announcer, related thrilling experiences re- ceived in the voluminous mail, of united homes, changed lives, and miraculous providential leadings. Both the broadcasts and the Free Bible Correspondence Course, play- ed their parts in making these pos- sible, Typical of the many was the following: ' A little boy was taking the Jun- ior course. His parents would often use profanity and' bywords in the home. After the boy had read the lesson dealing with this particular subject, he told his parents that every time they used one of these words, he would fine them one cent. Aftr a time, he had collected $2.00 from his parents, which amount he sent to the Voice of Prophecy of- fice in Los Angeles. One statement in the letter was of particular in- terest to the members of the staff. "It seems that this is all I can col- lect from .mother and dad. They den't use profanity or bywords any more." The vast audience rose to its feet in a gesture of appreciation for the visit of the well-known broadcast- ers; and they were cordially invited to return to Oshawa again. "ARRIVING HOME Thomas Dean Potless, son of Mr. and Mrs. Powless, 20 Maple Avenue, is expected home shortly on the Empire McCrae, He served in the British army in India as a gunner after enlisting in England in 1938, and married the former Olwen Eliz- abeth Parry in Wales last year. Flight Line By ROGER WILCO Activities at the Ontario County Flying Club are back to normal again after the Air Show and the flying program' 1s being organized to provide many interesting trips. Perhaps one of the longest mass lights originating from the local airport will leave next Sunday morning at 8.00 am. for Kingston airport and will 'return around noon. Next Tuesday evening a stn- set flight will le~ve 'or Lake Sim- coe at 8.00 pm. ...s should be a grand trip in the cool, smooth evening air with a bright red gleaming sunset spreading its glow over the earth below. Gen Club will get underway after a two week adjournment on this Thursday evening at 8.30. All mem- bers and their air-minded friends will profit greatly by these free ground instruction classes which cove! all the aspects of flying from line of aircraft at the hangar has been increased during the past ten days with the arrival of two bright new shiny Piper Cubs. Betty Mumford is the proud owner of a 65 J3 Special model and Marle Mackie has a 59 hp job which is going to provide many hours of flying time at a low gasoline con- sumption. The Club has all the facilities necessary for anyone wishing to purchase an aircraft and leave it at the local airport. Storage, gasoline, oll, ground handling by properly trained mechanics and the very best of maintenance supervised by our genial, good-natured "Stew" Burke are all readily available. New and better models of civilian aircraft are being produced in in- creasing numbers which will mean a lower cost product to the .buyer. Competition amongst the manu- facturers is keen and the latest models are equipped with all the gadgets found in a modern car. Plastics and chromium trim are predominant on the interior finish and the newer types are of all metal exterior construction, The 1946 models on display at the Air Show which seemed to catch the eye of the public were the Globe Swift, DeHaviland Chip- munk, and the Cessna 140 which are all available from Canadian distributing agencies. There were nearly 60 visiting aircraft at the Air Show representing more than 20 different makes and models. PRIORITY USERS TO GET PART OF TOMATO PACK Cauners of tomatoes and tomato juice will be required to hold a part of their 1946 pack for essential purposes according to a recent an- nouncement of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Since July 2 tomato and tomato juice canners whose, 1945 pack amounted to more than 10,000 cases of tomatoes, or more than 20,000 cases of tomato juice, must retain 15 percent of their total 1946 pack of canned tomatoes and canned tomato juice for allocation by the Board to priority users. CHARGE DISMISSED Magistrate F. S. Ebbs dismissed a charge of assault against Paul Zahrebel, 520 Sterling Avenue, after hearing the evidence against Zahrebel in police court this morn- ing. Zahrebel was represented by Louis 8, Hyman. "This is a case of one person's evidence against another's," His Worship said, "and under 'the circumstances I must give 'the accused the benefit of the' doubt." Report of Animal "With Whiteon It" Brings In Porky Wilma Cheseboro, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cheseboro, 119 Eldon Avenue, started a lot of excitement in her neighbourhood Monday afternoon. She brought in a report that there was an animal "with white on it" on their back fence; of course Mrs. Cheseboro could think of only one explanation for this with skunks reported in the district. However, on investigation it turn- ed out to be a porcupine, one of the first he has ever seen as.far south as this according to Garnett John- stone of the Oshawa Humane Soci- ety, Mr, Johnstone arrived to take the small "porky" out into the country and set it free.

A large turnout of members was on hand at "Rosshaven" for the weekly meeting. President Cyril Souch presided over the meeting but there was no guest speaker, Ki- wanian Ral. Huestis moved the vote of thanks to the ladies who prepar- ed the meal, Mrs. Ross, Mrs, J. L. Beaton and Mrs. E, Dixon. Sons of Ulster Band Is Active The Sons of Ulster Flute Band, which is taking part in the band concert at Memorial Park tonight, has been greatly strengthened by the return of a number of its mem- bers from active service. It is now available to play for suitable events and invitations may be sent to the president of the band, Robert J. An- drews, 216 Burk Street. Mr. Andrews would like to make it clear to the public that the band is not connect- ed in any way with any other or- ganization.

"If I were to classify the sins of the church, your sins, my sins, all of our sins this morning that make the nent 50 necessary," said the evangelist, "I would place them Endes one chief term--SELFISH- "In dealing with sin, we cannot do so in a general way. We must deal with the specific sins that make us a sin-conquered, crippled band of mourners, "Pride ranks first in this group of sins expressing the selfish spirit. Rich and poor are afflicted with it. There is self-pride, family pride, church pride, state pride, and na- tional pride. Some are proud over their good looks. Beauty ruined both Absalom and Lucifer. The ex- terior is apt to receive most of our attention, If a man could invent a camera to picture hearts, he would 80 out of business. "A lady asked her minister if one could not wear jewelry, and dress in the latest fashion without being proud. He replied, 'Madam, when I see the fox's tall showing out of his hole, I know that the fox isn't very far away.' "Significantly, David never once in the Psalms mentions that he slew the giant, Goliath. Pride changed angels into devils--humil- ity makes men as angels. Gossip "Second on the list is Gossip. This is a type of foot-and-mouth disease. 'That which lies in the well of your thought will come up in the bucket of your speech.' The Lord gave man two eyes, {wo ears, and one mouth, indicating that we should not re- peat everything we see and hear. Some people go through life as if they had but one ear, one eye, and two mouths. "A third member of this family of sins is Unkindness, The story is related of a person who told his pastor of someone who offended him, 'I resented it,' he said, 'and I think it was a manly thing thing to resent it, it would have been a godly to forgive it." "The fourth member of this un- desirable famiy is Suspicion. People who would be frozen together into unity, had better be melted together in love. Suspicion undermines con- fidence, and the result of this state of affairs is disastrous. "Another evil to be shunned is Criticism. If this leads to analysis, it serves a useful purpose, but al- together too often it leads to dis- section. The keenest critic of him who can is the person who can't. A horse stops pulling every time he stops to kick. Let us remember that faults are thick where love is thin. Envy and Jealousy "Another set of twins that we need to avoid, is the undesirable combination of Envy and Jealousy. These twins develop a cancerous condition in the character of the individual who gives room for them in his life, "The seventh and last form of selfishness which I want to discuss, is hatred. Why hate like the devil when we may love like God? The teaching of the Bible makes it plain that he who hates his brother, is a murderer, Two men in a certain church found it difficult to speak to one another. They were not on good terms. The preacher asked them to call at'his home, which they did. The preacher said, 'Before we dis- cuss your problem, I want both of you to pray.' They did. Following their prayer, the pastor turned to one and said, 'Now, just what is it you have against this man?' He replied, 'After I prayed, it all seems so foolish. Really, after thinking it all over, I don't have anything against him.' The other party ex- pressed himself in a similar fashion, and there was complete reconcilia- on." Pastor Wickman left for Wash- ington last evening, J Et HEY HANGMAN'S FEE In 17th century England, the hangman of Dumfries was entitled to dip his iron ladle into each bag of produce as his pay. from the inhabitants of the country.
