® ¥ ¥ late news flashes Government To Help Gold Mines OTTAWA--Government plans to help Canada's gold mining industry overcome the effects of the recent revalua- tion of the Canadian dollar were announced unexpectedly to the Commons last night by Acting Finance Minister Abbott. Making the announcement at a time when financial markets were closed, Mr, Abbot disclosed this threefold pro- posal--1. The budget proposal that new mines coming into production after next January 1 pay only half rate corpor- ation income tax on profits for the first three years of pro- duction will be changed to allow them complete exemption for that period; 2.--The government formula for determina- tion of depletion allowances in respect to gold mining com- panies will be modified temporarily to assure the minimum tepletion allowance of two dollars per ounce of gold produced ; 8.--The charge made by the mint for the handling and marketing of gold will be reduced from 35 to 20 cents an |. ounce. These measures are aimed at offsetting financial losses resulting from the adjustment of the Canadian dollar to par with the United States dollar, which had the effect of reduc- ing $88.30 to $35.00 an ounce the price Canadian gold mines ~ receive for their products, Wage Demands Threat To Stabilization OTTAWA--Labor's demands for higher wages, are a threat to the whole stabilization program and labor must decide whether or not it wants price controls to continue, Donald Gordon, Prices Board chairman, said yesterday at a meeting of the Commons Industrial Relations Committee. The committee had spent the day questioning Mr. Gordon, and he was still in the witness chair when it adjourned for the week-end. He will be on hand when the committee re- sumes its study of industrial unrest Monday. By CANADIAN PRESS STEEL TO SET PATTERN Questioning of the Prices Board chairman wag directed particularly to conditions in the steel strike where some 15,000 workers are af- fected in walkouts at Algoma Steel Cofporation, Sault Ste. Marie Steel pany of Canada, and Hamilton, and the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation at Sydney N.S. It also 4 into the whole field of stabilization, and its relaticn to in- dustrial unrest in which a total of some 50,000 Canad n ~orkers are idle, Mr. Gordon, while he declined to suggest the figure at which the steel strike should be settled, said steel would establish the general ttern of wage increases and if the creases were much in excess of 10 cents he would find it impossible to carry on in trying to control prices.

Lola McLatchie, pathologist, who performed the autopsy on the body Thursday night, said the ac- tual cause of death was difficult to determine as there were so many contributing factors. No definite time has yet been set for the inquest as tests are being made on the cloth. ing of the child and on four splot- ches of what is believed to be blood on soil scooped up by police near the scene of the murder, DISAGREE ON REPARATIONS WASHINGTON--A sharp conflict already is shaping up for the Paris Peace Conference between State Secretary Byrnes of the US. and Russia's foreign Minister Molotov over Soviet reparation demands on Hungary. The United States is in- aisting that a new economic deal in Hungary is essential to establish a firm peace in Europe. It has pro- tested strongly Red Army seizures of Hungarian foodstuils and Soviet removals of Hungarian factories as well as current industrial produc- tion contending the result is econ- omic chaos in the Balkan countries. The protest, made public by the State Department last night, high- lights the difficulties confronting the 21 power conference, opening in Paris Monday, which will write peace treaties for the former enemy state of Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, Armenia, and Finland.

Unable to buy individually, they thought of the idea of organizing with the plan in mind of buying enough property to start up a vet- eran's community, On approaching the owner of the land opposite Harmony school, H. Hoskin, they found that he was in full agree- ment with the idea, on the condi- tion that enough men could be found to buy all the property, An advertisement was placed in the Oshawa Times-Gazette, for men interested in building - under the Veteran's Land Act, and to the satisfaction of the three originals, a large number of people answered the ad. Soon afterwards, & meet- ing was called at the home of C. Hill, Bond St. E., and after explain. ing the situation, it was decided to go ahead with the scheme, and find out as much about the plan as pos- sible, At this meeting, a committee was appeinted, to act as a group, in the interest of the men involved, On the committee, were: C. Hill, V, Welsh, F. H. Hare, J. Plowright, and J. Neill, The committee met Mr. Hoskin and agreed upon a price with a few other things brought into the plan.

Connecting with a new 110,000-volt transformer station at Barrie, the new line was placed in services on June 30, The new line connects with the Patricia Avenue sub-station in Osh awa, running two towers east from the sub-station, then north for four towers over the Hydro right-of-way and thence west, It is located a short distance south of the heavy, high-voltage tower lines running from Quebec to Toronto and Burl- Three Divi- These new facilities provide means for interchanging power between the 60-cycle Eastern Ontario and the Georgian Bay divisions of the Hydro System, thus increasing the power resourses available to each, and improving the efficiency of use of the water resourses at the vari- ous generating plants located within these areas. 'The new transmission line runs to Barrie via Scarborough where a new frequency-changer station will be placed in service in the summer of 1947. This will again improve the availability of power resourses by the further inter-connection of the Niagara, Georgian Bay and Eastern Ontario divisions. Oshawa industries will benefit to some extent from the new line just constructed through the facility it offers for the transfer of any sur- plus power in the Georgian Bay division.

P, Mangan, K.C,, who appear~ ed before council on behalf of Mr, McKeever, said that the demolition of the present residence on the property was not contemplated in the immediate future, the proposal being to erect an L-shaped building which would run in front of and along the east side of the residence. The application called for a mod- ern one-storey building of steel, frame and concrete construction with exterior walls of stucco. Ac- cording to the sketch submitted the proposed building would have a frontage of 40 feet on King Street with the front part extending back 35 feet, five inches and a wing ap- proximately 25 feet wide at the rear making the total depth of the building 110 feet. On the applica- tion W. 8. Pogson was named as builder.

B. Bennett | The contract for straightening the Division and Alice Street inter- section was awarded by the city council Thursday to the W, B. Ben- nett Construction Company of Ajax, the firm which is straighten- ing the Mary Street bend, The work will be done on the same unit price basis as that on Mary Street and the specifications will be the same. _ The Division-Alice Street Inter- section is one of some four similar traffic hazards in the city which the council proposes to rectify. Work is already uriderway at the bend in Mary Street at Wood Street and the earth removed in that job is being moved to Hillcroft Street in preparation for straightening that street west of Jarvis Street. The other irregular intersection which has been discussed by coun- cll is that at the corner of Gibbs and Centre Streets. The Division-Alice Street inter- section will be adjusted by angling Division Street through the proper- ty on the northeast corner of the intersection, thus eliminating the sharp jog to the west in that street. The property on which the street will be diverted was purchased some time ago from J. Klapow for this purpose. : Work is proceeding rapidly on Mary Street and it is expected that operations on Division Street will begin at once. Belgian Paper Shows Dedication Of Cemetery Mrs. A. J.

The Corona appeared to be at a point almost directly over- head, with radiations to the north, |. west and south, It varied in color from a reddish-purple tone to a greenish-yellow, A report obtained from tke Dun- lop Observatory, Richmond Hill, stated that the display was of an unusual and spectacular nature, The reason given for the appear- ance of the spectacle was that a large sunspot had become visible on the side of the sun from three to four days ago, and has now mov= ed over until it is almost directly in the centre of the sun, The report also added that another brilliant display may be expected this eve- ning. From Malton Airport came word that the appearance of the "Lights" is having no bad effects on flying conditions, and little effect, if any, in radfo transmission and recep- tion. In a report from the Marconi ship-to-shore station at Toronto it was stated that no interference was being noted in shipping communic- ations, A report from New York yester- day stated that international radio communications and domestic tele- graph transmissions had been in- terrupted as the result of what was termed a * sun spot curtain", YOUTH FOR CHRIST CRUISE SUCCESS Speaker Urges That Each Accept Christ As Personal Saviour Drawing upon illustrations from the Bible, 8/L A.
