TORONTO--As a result of a breakdown in negotiations Bitween the United Packinghouse Workers of America, CIO, and' representatives of Canada Packers and P. Burns and Co. strike votes will be taken by 9,000 meat packing workers in 'plants of those companies, Fred Dowling, Canadian U:P.W.A. director said last night. "Spokesmen for the packers have officially informed us that they are unwilling to. grant any wage increases at present," said Dowling, "Our national policy committee has instructed each delegate to inform his local of the outcome of negotiations." Swift Canadian Still Negotiating A third member of the "big three" of the meat packing industry, Swift Canadian Company, is still negotiating with .the union on wages and other matters. Mr. Dowling said the wage demands of the union are for a $33.60 minimum for a guaranteed minimum week of 371% hours, which in some areas would amount to an increase of 26 cents an hour.

This decision was reach- éd as additional materials have been secured by the company's pur- chasing agents. Commenting upon a report in this morning's Globe and Mail to the effect that the plant would re-open Monday, T. R. Elliott, Public Rela- tions Manager, said that as the plant closes its week on Friday, work really would be continuing. He was also asked whether there was a possibility of the plant con- tinuing operations on a day-to-day. basis and replied in the negative, In a letter to employees explain- ing the shutdown of the plant, W. A. Wecker, General Manager, said among other things: "In a over-all sense our inventory of materials is large and that is why a substantial number of employees remain at work. Conscious of the abnormal supply situation, our Ma- terial Department took certain ma- terials whenever and wherever they | could so that stocks were built up. It is from these stocks that some departments will continue to fabri- cate parts and assemblies in limited quantities which can be stored in anticipation of resumed production." "In the case of certain other ma- terials, however, stocks have been exhausted. We look forward to set- tling down and eventually reaching the high production and high em- ployment we had originally planned. The time may not be long.

Limit For Three Suburban Roads In accord with recent discussions by East Whitby Township Council the Oshawa Suburban Roads Com- mission at a meeting Thursday night urged that steps be taken to control excessive speeding on the suburban roads. "First thing we know someone is going to be killed and now is the time to eliminate speeding, not af- ter there has been an accident," County Engineer declared. At his suggestion a motion was passed urging that a 30 miles per hour speed limit be established for the road north from Ross' Corners to a point 500 feet north of the entrance to Camp Samac and also for Ross- land Roads from Ross' Corners to Park Road and on the road from the Roman Catholic Cemetery to the Five-Points, Children Attend Health Centres During the month of July 183 infants and 46 pre-school children attended the two Guild Health cen- tres in the city and 35 pre-school children received a routine physical examination, according to the pub- lic health nursing report for the month, Thirty-eight communicable disease cases were reported, 31 measles, three chickenpox and three To Be Sure of Wrapping Take Along Shopping Bag . hoppers who don't want to run the risk of having to make their way home clutching an assortment of unwrapped groceries. will be well advised to take along a shopping bag or'a few used paper bags when they go shopping.

In the South Loblaw store, ordin- ary wrapping paper was being used in an endeavour to keep the cus- tomer's purchases together. Stores generally are feeling the pinch of the paper shortage.

New Ration Books To Be Issued At Armories Distribution Wil Will Be Made September 9, 10 and 11 ~--Centres In East Whit- by Township Announced By Local Ration Board With the exception of certain plants where books will be issued to the employees, all distribution of the new Number 6 ration books in Oshawa will take place on Septem- ber 9, 10 and 11 at the Armouries, it has been announced by the local Ration Board. Those who fail to obtain their new books at that time will face a delay of several weeks as their applications will have to be forwarded to the branch office in Peterborough through the local office here. The issuing of all the books from one central depot is a "departure from the practice in previous years when the various schools were used as distribution points. The books will be issued for the City of Osh- awa from 1 to 6 pm. on Monday, September 9 and from 10 am. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10 and Wednesday, September 11. Lines of desks will be set up in the Armour- ies and J. C. McGill, secretary of the local board, said today that a large number of voluntary workers are being sought to assist in - the distribution.

In announcing plans for the dis- tribution of the new books, Ration Board officials stressed the import- ance of obtaining books on the proper date. In previous years there had been arrangements for subse- quent distribution of books locally but this year the regulations re- quire all late-comers to take their cards to the local ration office where they will be forwarded to the "ranch offiice at Peterborough. This will mean a delay of from two weeks to a month before the applicants will receive their new books, "It is most imperative that all people apply on these dates," Mr. NEW RATION BOOKS HOSPITAL GETS GIFT OF $1,000 Port Perry Business Men Turn Over Celebration Proceeds A gift of $1,000 toward the Port Perry Memorial Hospital has been made by the Port Perry Business Men's Association as a result of the celebrations held in Port Perry on Civic Holiday, it has been announ- ced by M, A. Gerrow, president of the Business Mens' Association, Civic Holiday was the 15th An- nual celebration of this association. The celebrations included ball games, horse racing, and presenta- tions to the district war veterans. This is the largest donation that the Association has ever been able to make, and the officers of the as- sociation attribute it partly to the popularity of the sports day and partly to the community's interest in the hospital. Previous donations by the asso- ciation have been made to the Bri- tish War Victim's Fund, the Salva- tion Army, the Red Cross, the Tor- onto Hospital for Sick Children, the local I.O.D.E, the Santa 'Claus fund, and the Boy Scouts.

"I am not acquainted with court procedure," confessed Sam McCon- nell, 100 Willlam Street East, as he was conducting his own defence yesterday morning on a theft charge. "Why you have been in court more often than most lawyers," re- torted Crown Attorney A. C. Hall, who then read a long list of con- victions including several jail terms for stealing which accused readily admitted. McConnell was convicted yester- day of stealing 50 pounds of butter from Buehler Brothers Limited, King Street East, and was senten- cend to three months in jail by Magi- strate Ross Hossack, substituting for Magistrate F. 8. Ebbs, Found Case Missing Bud O'Brien, butcher for Bueh- ler's, testified accused visited the store on the afternoon of August 12 talked for awhile and then walked to the back of the store. "I was busy for a time and then talked to McConnell again when he came back to the front of the store," stated the witness. "He seemed to have been drinking, Lat- er on after information was receiv- ed by the police, we checked and found a case of butter to be missing. It was valued at $20.75." He added that accused had previously been employed by Buehler's. Edward Hayward, manager of Christian's Electrical and Hard- ware store, Simcoe Street North told the court he noticed accuse: "acting in a suspicious manner" near the rear door of his store on the afternoon in question. "A short time later I saw accus- ed again and this time he was struggling with a case and appar- ently trying to lift it to the top of a stove," stated Hayward. "I be- came suspicious because it was a small case and could be easily lifted.

D. Howe's announcement that prio rities are no longer necessary for the purchase of a car or truck are unanimous. The dealers consider it a happy step in the general lifte ing of controls. Again all are unaminous in their regret that the new freedcen in the disposal of cars and trucks will have to be purely theoritical for some time, In many cases there have been no cars for several months, and with the closing of the General Motors plant yesterday allot: source of supply will be cut off. "But of course it leaves us with a responsibility to those who have placed their priorities for new cars and trucks with us," said a spokese man for the Ontario Motor Sales. "In many cases they have had ap- plications in for some time, and they certainly need the automobiles if we can supply them." In the ore der from Mr. Howe outstanding pri- orities need not be honored. Oshawa First "Now we are in a position to see that the Oshawa. businesses are supplied with the trucks that they need, if any are supplied at all," he continued. "Too often men from ali over Canada would walk in with their priorities, and we would have to honor them, Now we will be only too glad to do what we can to help our local customers." "It really puts us back completely on a pre-war footing," remarked a representative of the Cook Motor Sales. "Instead of having the gove ernment telling us what to do with our priorities, i} is our responsibi- lity. The priorities served a useful purpose, now it will be up to us to te dur businesses. We are glad le to serve our old customers again--that is we would be if we had some cars." Can Help Old Customers The dealers all seem most satise fied about the circumstance. They can run their own business with some regard for their old custom- ers and their future. "Old friends could never understand why we weren't able to get them a car when they really needed them so badly. They didn't seem to realize that we were compelled by law to give cars first to those with priorities. Now we can help our old customers --that is as soon as we have the cars." Most people are already well aware of the new regulations. "When could I get delivery on a new car?" was the most common question being asked at the deal- ers. Or as one garage attendant put it: "There sure have been alot of peo- ple here in the last few days trying to get & car."
