WEIGH QUESTION OF WORK OR NOT WHILE ON STRIKE The question of whether striking workers should take jobs in other industries during the progress of the strike was discussed during last night's meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, after E. A. Jones of Local 189 of the United Rubber Workers of America, spoke of the amount of help to the far- mers the mes, on strike at the Goodyear plant in Bowmanville, Mr, Jones, in' reporting for his Local, said the strike had lasted 16 weeks at the Bowmanville plant, but that "most of our boys are working and farmers of the com- munity were very pleased with the strikers help in getting in a bumper crop of tomatoes this summer." Many thousands of dollars in crops had been saved due to their efforts, he said, but soon the harvest would be over and the men would be without work again, "Several strikes have been settled for 13 cents or so," Mr, Jones went on, "but Goodyear had sat back and was offering only an eight cent in- crease." R. Bate also of the Rubber Work- ers then sajd he thought that a unionist should not take on an- other job during a strike as this weakened the workers' position since the employer would then tend to sit back and say if you can work at an- ther job for so much you can work for me at that, Mr, Bate then wanted to know whether or not there would be any action by General Motors workers regarding the use of Goodyear rub- ber, imported from the United States, used on the cars produced at the plant here, With this help, he went on, the Rubber Workers at Bowmanville might reach a settle- ment sooner with the Goodyear company, . In reply, Mr, Townsley of Local 222 of the Auto Workers, said that U.AW.A, strategy called for work maintenance at this plant so as to force the hand of competitive com- panies where other Auto Workers were on strike, The loss of custo- mers would thus force an earlier opening of the striking plants, it was felt, he said.

Asks Federal Léad To Cure Delinquency; Co-operation Needed ® Lg Windsor, Oct. 9 (CP)--The re. sponsibility of giving leadership in a national attack on delinquency belongs to the federal government, Dr. Henry M. Cassidy, professor of social welfare and director of the School of Social Work at the Uni- versity of Toronto, yesterday said in an address to the Fourth Cana- dian Penal Congress in session here, Dr, Cassidy pointed out that to a greater or lesser degree the con- trol of delinquency involves all the social problems with which govern- ments of all kinds and various pri- vate organizations have to grapple.

Canadian Airfields Now Vastly Expanded; Ontario Declared Most Air-minded Province Alrfields suitable for commercial and amateur flying abound in Can- ada--largely as & result of the war- time Commonwealth Air Training Plan--and Air Force-trained fliers are operating a number of flying schools thriughout the Dominion, a coast-to-coast survey by The Can- adian Press has disclosed. Combat Training Establishments set up under the monwealth countries and other United Nations were trained for combat have in many cases been taken over by commercial air lines while local flying clubs now operate others. Meanwhile plans are going ahead in several localities for the building of new fields as aviation plays a larger and larger part in the life of the Dominion. From east to west, here is the present picture: Prince Bdward Island has four airports. A large field at Mount Pleasant and a small one at Wel- lington are out of use but amateur flying is carried on at Summerside and Maritime Central Airways planes operate out of Charlottetown. Nova Scotia already has 12 fields many R.CAF.-bullt--and Hali- fax authorities are surveying.sub- urban land for a city airport, The field within the city now is oper- ated by military authorities. The large R.CAF. field at East- ern ge, across Halifax harbor from the city, is still the main Air Force base in the Maritimes and also serves ag easter terminus for the T.C.A. Maritithe Central oper- ates 'a Moncton = Charlottetown- Yarmouth-Greenwood feeder route. Moncton Hub Moncton is the air hub of New Brunswick, The T.C.A, operating out of Lakeburn--scene of a big RCAF. wartime development on the city's outskirts--and from Bliss- ville, between Fredericton and Saint John, served as a link between Montreal and Dartmouth, NS. Wartime fields at Peonfield and Chatham are not in use. Quebec plans no new airfields but an expansion program for Dorval near Montreal will get under way when post-war requirements be- come fully defined. All 15 fields in the province used for RCAF. training during the war still are open and many are used by civil aircraft, commercial fliers and am- ateur clubs, Ontario--most air-minded prov- ince--has its largest flying centre at Toronto, City - administered flelds at Malton, a few miles west, and on the Island in Toronto Bay, used by the R.CAF. during the war, now are ports of entry for American Air Lines and T.C.A. flights from New York, Flying schools operate at Barker and De Havilland Fields near the city. Former Air Force fields at many other Ontario. points are used by commercial and amateur fliers, and some new fields are planned. Oshawa Busy A group of R.C.AF, veterans plan to open a field at Pe in 1948 as a tourist centre and - will feature fishing trips and sight- seeing flights. London--said to be Canada's third busiest air centre, after To- ronto and Montreal--has many commercial companies in operation. Other busy Ontario fields are at Kingston, Welland, Kitchener, Hamilton, Belleville, North Bay, St. Thomas, Windsor, Brantford and Oshawa. A new airport is being built at Wiarton in the Bruce Pen- insula. No new fields are planned for the Ottawa area, already served by Rockcliffe and Uplands, The for- mer is used by the RCAF. ex- clusively while Dominion-owned Uplands is a stop-off point on the Toronto = Montreal T.C.A, run, northern terminus of Colonial Air- lines' New York-Washington route, serves the Laurentian Air Service and is extensively used by ama- teurs. Numerous RCAF, fields in Manitoba are being abandoned and their buildings moved to nearby centres to alleviate the housing shortage, Stevenson Field at Win- nipeg, recently granted $3,000,000 for expansion, serves T.C.A., North- west and Canadian Pacific Airlines. Port at the Pas and Flin Flon, only of use to pontoon and ski-equipped craft, are employed by bush service planes A relief field at Netly, near Gimli on Lake Winnipeg, was used last summer to train air cadets in glider flying. The G!mli field is an RCAF, winter experimental station, Other RCAF, establish ments at Portage La Prairie, Bran- don, Rivers, Dauphin, Carberry and MacDonaki are used as emergency bases. Scores more fields are operated westward to the Pacific.

Dr. Malkani is pres- endly taking a post-graduate course in medicine at Harvard, one of the few women accorded that privilege. It is her intention to return to In- dia and set up her own hospital. All, however, are unofficial good- will ambassadors of their great country and well qualified to ex~ press the sentiments of the people at large, Canadian Impressions The Indian party is touring Cane ada as the guests of Misses Anna~ belle and Ruth Bowditch, of Boston, Mass, who know this country well and felt it would be amiss - if the party was not able to return to In- dia with some impressions of the United States great northern neighbour, All like Canada and its people, and, as well as getting an insight into our way of life, they are taking the opportunity of view- ing Canadian scenic beauties, Four Nations While in Oshawa, the Misses Bowditch, Dr. and Mrs, Misra and Dr. Malkani were the guests of Mr, Hong Seto, owner of the Globe Cafe, on King Street. There, in a typical North American setting, a group embodying four great natfons sat quietly discussing world ills. It was Dr, Misra's confirmed convic- tion that the United Nations, as a body, must function as one unit and truly assert itself if peace and prosperity were but to be little oth= er than wishful thinking, Not Strangers Neither Miss Ruth nor Miss Annabelle Bowditch are strangers to the city. They first became ac~ quainted with Mr, Seto 17 years ago--at the time of the Canadian Chatauqua, when Dr, Fehhyl Hsieh, of China, lectured here, They ap= peared with the Doctor. Older resi« dents will remember Dr. Hsieh, who has often been respectfully referred to as "The Teddy Roosevelt of China, { The party will return to the United States shortly where both Dr, Misra and Dr, Malkani will re- sume their duties, The former has already spent considerable time at the Mayo Clinic studying latest me- thads in' plastic surgery and anes- thesia. Following her studies at Harvard, Dr, Malkani will study in London, England, for six months to a year and then return to India, LABOR-POLITICS SAID BAD MIXERS Winnipeg, Oct. 9--(CP)--Political interests must be separated from labor-management desputes if ine dustrial peace is to be permanently restored, H. Greville Smith of Montreal told the 17th annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce here today. Co-chairman of the Chamber's labor policy committee, Mr. Smith charged labor groups with publiciz- ing the "misrepresentation" that all who oppose union proposals were necessarily anti-labor, Yesterday, the chamber heard sharp criticism of federal tax poli- cles, It came from OC. Gordon Brod- fe, a Vancouver manufacturer, who declared Finance Minister Ilsley's budget of last June was "so dis- couraging that there was no Ine centive whatsoever for private en terprise to proceed with expansion."
