GIBBONS' RE-TRIAL UNDER WAY Pembroke, Ont., Nov, 4 -- (CP) -- First re-trial of a murder case in the history of Renfrew County today before Mr. Justice A. M. Lebel of the Ontario High Court of Justice when Thomas Gibbons faces a fall assizes jury. The 46-year-old Adamston Town- ship farmer was found guilty at the spring Assizes of murder in con- nection with the shooting of two brothers -- Joseph and John Fitz- maurice -- who were his neighbors. He was sentenced to be hanged last June but a re-trial was ordered. The brothers were shot last Feb. 1 on a lonely, wind-swept road leading to a bush adjoining Gib- bons' property. It was understood Gibbons, who is unmarried and lived alone with his sister on their farm 14 miles east of Renfrew, had had a long-standing dispute with the brothers over the use of the road. Gibbons lawyer is expected to base the case, as was done previ- ously, on an insanity plea. During the earlier trial evidence was intro- duced to show that some of Gib- bons' relatives were in mental in- stitutions and that he himself was subject to periods of depression. 'The farmer, 'who admitted the shooting and gave himself up to provincial police a few hours after it occurred, testified in a statement read in court that he had seen a '| "vision" in a dream and he believed he had been chosen by God to do the killing. Later, parked in an automobile on his snow-choked lane, he encounter- ed the Fitzmaurice brothers, who stopped their sleigh to ask if he was in trouble. Following a brief con- versation, Gibbons related, he reached in the back of his car and brought out a high-powered rifle, saying to himself, "well, here she goes boys," before shooting the brothers with two shots. Controversy Follows Sermon London, Nov. 4--(CP)--A propo- sal by the Archbishop of Canter- bury, "full communion" be between the Church of England and other Protestant bodies in the Un- 30a Sigdon 'provoked wide discuss Dr,* er sald in a Cam- bridge sermon yesterday that he be. in | lieved the time had arrived for an unhindered exchange of ministers and ministers among the churches and for members of each denomin- ation to take communion in the churches of the others. The Times of London said there would be general agreement with the Archbishop's statement that his proposal avoided "the fearful com- plexities of a premature constitu- tional union," and approved the lowering of church barriers "so damaging. . to the mora] recon struction of the world." Dr, Fisher said the non-Episcopal churches could guard most effec- tively "against the abuses of Epis- copacy" by "taking it into their own system"--that is, by instituting bishops of their own in preparation for the time when each Christian communion "should contribute the whole of its separate ministry" to 21 other ministers willing to recog. Duke of Gloucester Donates 3 Trophies Melbourne, Nov. 4 -- (Reuters) -- The Duke of Gloucester, Governor- General of Australia, today present- ed three silver cups bearing his personal crest to the chiefs-of-staff of the Australian Navy, Army and Air Force, for annual competition on conditions to be decided by themselves. BUS TERMINAL FOR LINDSAY Lindsay, Nov. 4--A new bus ter- minal has been opened here by A. E. Denure, of Peterboro, operator of the Peterboro-Lindsay line to serve the muitiple bus lines which radiate from the town. Independently own- ed, the new terminal will provide headquarters and waiting room fa- cilities, while additional property has been purchased, adjacent to the new terminal, for immdediate ex- pansion. Death Winner In Race To Halifax Halifax, Nov. 4--(CP)--Mrs. Lil- lian Blocksidge died in hospital kere today of cancer of the liver as a Montreal-Halifax limited, carrying her husband and daughter, raced southward through eastern New Brunswick. Albert Blocksidge of Mimico, Ont, and his daughter, Mrs, Vera Tweedle, had lost their grim race with death. 'The 57-year-old woman, who had come home from a visit to relatives in England on a stretcher, died shortly after 8 am. Her husband and daughter were aboard a train which then was still about 60 miles north of Moncton, N.B., where an Siicrate waited to fly them to Hali- ax. Bad weather had turned a fateful hand in the race. Last night it had caused cancellation of a Trans- Canada, Airlines flight from Mont- Bedside real, which would have sped the pair to the bedside of the dying wo- man in a few hours. Today a bleak fog hung over Halifax and a con- stant drizzle fell from low-hanging clouds. But the flight to Halifax would not now be needed. The sands had run out. Visiting relatives in England when she suffered a stroke, Mrs. Block- sidge returned to Canada as a stretcher case on the Empire Brent, which docked Saturdey. She had booked passage to Britain two months ago with money she had saved all her life for the trip. Soon after her arrival in England she was taken ill and London doc- tors told her she had but six weeks to live, They urged her to go into hospital in England immediately, but she came home to die. Cabinet Minister' s Wife at Work Expressing the sentiment that things done by "oneal are well done, Mrs. Emmanuel Shinwell, wife of the British minister of fuel and power, scrubs the entrance to her home in a London suburb, She does all the family's shopping and housework each day of the week. Success or failure in life is very often determined by one's ability to discern the important from the un- important and in having the happy facuity of being awe 0 concen- trate upon the immediate task to the almost complete exclusion of all potentially disturbing influences. Too many of us go through im- provising instead of following a prearranged, ' well-considered plan. The weakness of such a policy is that we rarely pause to consider worthiness of many of the things which occupy our minds and our time, The very act of planning ahead includes the selection, or at jeast the recognition, of those activ. | &F ities or duties which are of most lasting importance, Nowhere is the habit of planning of greater importance than in the ase of the collegiate or university student, To one who has spent seve eral years as Dean of a University Boys' Residence there is no more valuable message to pass on to our young folks than to "start thinking of and planning for a proper use of your spare time." Until a student stops taking his orders from adults who feel that it is their duty to make his decisions for him and un- til he begins to fee] that each hour and each day of his life is his own to make or to spoil, he cannot be said to be an adult or responsible person, Must Chart Course The day is going to come, sooner or later; in every young person's life when he or she is going to have to start making important deci- sions, is going to have to start weighing the advantages of a cer- tain course of action against possi- ble disadvantages and is going to have to make these decisions in the to | light of his or -her own accumulated knowledge and experience. It would seem to be only wise, therefore, to have this shifting of responsibility take place as early in life as possi. ble. Let's have the mistakes (and there are bound to be mistakes) made before the issues involved have become far-reaching in their consequences, For a moment then, let us: con- sider this question of budgeting of one's spare time. While the follow. ing suggestions are made with the student particularly in mind, the principle and its application applies to all. ps Time spent by an individual on any one activity may be classified into three component time areas or periods: the time spent in anticipa« tion of, and preparation for, the event; secondly the time occupied by participation in the specific ac- tivity, and thirdly, the time spent thinking and talking about the event after it is over. Where stu- dents in school are concerned, it 'is not the time spent in actual parti- cipation in the sports or club activi ties that may overload any certain student's program with resultant bad progress in classroom subjects. Free all points of view this time spent in team games, swimming, literary, music, dramatic and art groups is time w=" z"ent.' The good all around student, if he or she is to take a proper place in life after graduation, should have training under good leadership in | as many extra-curricular activities as possible, The Rhodes Scholar- ship Selection Committee recog- nizes this principle. Properly planned, the number of different skills and experiences which a student may require dur- ing his school career can be fairly great if--and this is an important "if"--the individual can reduce to a minimum the time wasted before and after the events proper. Let us take an example. Suppose, for the purpose of this article, that our subject is a boy of eighteen who is a member of the Collegiate Sen- for Boys' Baskétball team Suppose further that it is the middle of the schedule and that mid-term exams are just around the corner. Comes a very important game in which his team is to meet and play an eimin. ation game against a rival school. What happens, all too often? Planning For Success This article by R. L. Coleman, Director of Recreation, City of Oshawa and District, is the first in a series of three whith are being published this week in connection with the observance of Education Week. This article is written especially for young men and women of the collegiate rad uniyersity age group. The second in the series will appear in Wednesday's issue, From perhaps two days before the event our student's mind is full of thoughts and dream-plays to the exclusion of much that is happen- ing around him including lecture lectures and lab. instruction. The afternoon of the game is likely to be a complete waste ag far as classes are concerned because the anticipation of the approaching contest has become so great as to dwarf all else into insignificance. Then comes game time and tekt books and personal obligations are scattered in. the whirlwind of ex- citement, The game takes place and perhaps our student is a poor- icipant because of the®lack of keenness and ability to concen- trate, these having been drained away in useless excitement and un. restrained anticipation, Now : the great game is over, but does our student return to normal? Oh no! Nine times out of ten the rest of the evening is spent by our prodigal in cooling off and re- living every moment of the big contest 'There's the excitement of the locker-room, there are the fang ganged up in the local hang-out awaiting to pat our hero's back, there's the fun of thinking over and talking over the whole affair, It's much too exciting to miss. Later, much later, he arrives at home where he again recounts his experiences and then, after reading the papers and making some 'phone calls, he eventually arrives in his room to work. But even yet his mind is full of the game; books are far from his interest--further ac- tually than he had infended, since they are stil] reposing in splendid isolation in the darkness of a de- serted, tightly-locked school dress- ing room. Oh well, he's fatigued anyway and hasn't he earned the night off--all the fellows said he had played a marvellous game. And so to bed, "to think, to dream" and to leave to tomorrow the Problems that are tomorrow's. Must Eliminate Nou-Essentials Now this may be slightly exagger- ated, but not really very much. Especially is it a true picture of the student who is not too interested in, or inclined toward, an academic career. A very little in the form of a counter-attraction can result in many hours of pure waste. Not, let me repeat, that the time spent in the actual participation is wasted, but that the activity good in itself, may 'provide the vehicle by which the year's course is lost, because of a lack of judgment and the inability to eliminate the non-essentials. Teachers, coaches, parents would do well to give this matter more thought and spend more time ex- plaining to our young folk about good habits of study, good practices learning concentration and in as- ting them to eliminate the waste that surrounds special events and extra-curricular activities. Nor is the fault all with the stu- dent in this budgeting of time, so as to obtain the greatest value frcem each day, each week, or the whole year's course. Students can be as- sisted in a proper budgeting of their time and given good habits of study. The parent-teacher can do much when it pulls as a real team, in understanding, and to- ward a common goal, Many par- ents would be surprised, and de- lighted, to know just how much the teacher knows and can suggest regarding their boy or girl, if they would take the trouble to arrange a discussion. There is not nearly enough close liaison between teach. er and parents ally in the collegiate stage. , of course, parents who don't take a real in- terest in the study habits of their children, or who are not at home at night themselves to know what does happen, are inviting disaster and will likely get it. More and more more it is becomingg necessary for our young people to add good judg- ment to this greater freedom which which they are enjoying. And, in developing this greater sense of discernment and perception, the day-to-day budgeting of spare time may well become the first steps leading toward a more orderly and successful life. team | this national shrine and then issued > 4 MUST FAGE FEARED NAZI VENGEANCE Creston, B.C., Nov. 4--(CP)--For 12 days war prisoners Lorena Kaz- mierczak and George Jaeschka liv- ed as men shorn at last of a fear of German vengeance. But no more. That ended Sat- urday with their recapture in a logging camp at Destiny Bay, 30 miles west of Creston, What happens to them mow was obscure but presumably they soon will start, along with other prison- ers, the return trip to Germany. For weeks Kazmierczak and Jaes- chka quaked at the very thought of repatriation. Theirs was a con- stant dread that Nazi vengeance would catch up with them for their testimony which helped convict a fellow-prisoner of murder in the Medicine Hat prisoner-of-war camp. They talked freely of this fear of death "when we return to Ger- many," so much so that to protect them they were segregated from other prisoners and for a time sent to work on farms, As a reward for their testimony at the trial of a prisoner, accused with three others of killing another prisoner who had expressed anti- Nazi sentiments, Kazmierczak and Jaeschka had hoped to be allowed to remain in Canada. The word last August that all German pris- oners of war would be returned to Germany dashed these hopes, turn- ed Kazmierczak and Jaeschka into two me never in fear of death. Almost immediately they escaped but were recaptured after only a few days of freedom. In the big prisoners' camp at Lethbridge, 38-year-old Ka:mier- czak, former soldier of the Werm- acht, and Jaeschka, 27, once a Luft- waffe private, watched departures for Germany. As their turn appeared nearing they became more and more worried. Twelve nights ago the two swar- thy men cut throug. > rows of barbed wire and, once clear of the camp floodlights, melted into the Alberta night. Both speak English. But how they travelled across the Rockies was un- known. Fmally at Destiny Bay fel- low workers recognized these two "lumberjacks," new to the camp, and word went out to constable L. A. Doree who went to the camp himself, disguised as a lumberjack. "I recognized them from the pol- ice photographs," he said. "They surrendered without any trouble and just came along with me." Favor G.0.P. In Off-Year U.S. Voting New York, Nov. 4--(CP)--An es- timated 35,000,000 of 60,000,000 qual- ified American voters are expected to cast their ballots in tomorrow's off-year elections for the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 32 of the 96 Senate seats, 34 governor. ships and a long list of state and municipal offices. Majority guessing gave. the Re- publican party a good chance of making the small gains necessary to gain control of Congress for the first time since 1930. President Truman was at home to vote in Independence, Mo. fac- ing the possibility of having to get on for the next two years with a Republican Congress. It also was likely the Republican nominee to oppose the President in 1948 may be decided in tomorrow's voting in which. such . idential timber as Governor omas E. Dewey of New York who lost to Franklin "Roosevelt in 19844, John W, Bricker, losing vice-pr dential candidate in the same elec- tion, are facing tests at the polls. Gov. Dewey, almost a certainty for re-election, evidently hopes to beat the Republican tradition against re-nominating for president a one-time loser. In the Sénate a majority is 440 seats and the Republicans already hold 39, In the House of 435 mem- bers a majority is 218 and the Re- publicans now hold 192. Thus a gain of only 10 Senate seats and 26 house seats would put the Grand Old Party in the saddle and enlarge its hopes to elect a President for the first time in five tries, in 1948. Molotov Honors F.D.R. At Grave Hyde Park, N. Y., Nov. 4--(AP)-- Foreign minister Molotov of Russia yesterday placed a wreath on the grave of Franklin D. Roosevelt at a statement calling for "eternal memory to the great president." Mr. Molotov stepped to the grave after Paul-Henri Spaak, president of the United Nations Assembly, place. flowers for the U. N, Sale Interrupted As Auctioneer Wed Spokane, Wash, Nov. 4--(AP)-- The daily livestock sale at the Col- lett Auction House was interrupted while the auctioneer took care of some private business. While 200 friends and buyers looked on, auc- tioneer Harry Collett was married on the barker's platform to Ruth McKinney. After the ceremony, Collett served refreshments, then continued the auction. ANCIENT CITY 'The site of the ancient city of Isfahan in Iran was settled about God Is 'Speaking To His Followers Says Rev. Gallagher "Many today are asking the same question as King Zedekiah of old, 'Is there any word from the Lord?" " declared Rev. W. J. Gallagher, M.A.;-D.D., anniversary preacher at Simcoe Street United Church, in his sermon last evening. The Christian Church should, he said, answer with assur- ance as did the prophet Jeremiah, "There is." & ° 'ed him by inches. the time of Nebuchadnezzar, 600 NAPANEE GETS CIRCUS PREVIEW Napanee, Nov. 4 -- (CP) -- A truckload of trained circus ani- malsi--ncluding bears, monkeys and dogs--went on the loose near here Saturday after the truck was /stolen and wrecked but police and Humane Society officials rounded them up. The thieves were mot apprehended. The truck was parked here while proprietors of the Nelson Wild Animal Circus went to a hotel to sleep. Awakening in mid-afternoon they discovered the truck was gone. Eleven Dead In Week-end Accidents Week-end accidents took 11 lives in Eastern Canada, reports compiled by The Canadian Press revealed. ive persons died in highway mis- Laps, bolting horses fatally injured two, ong was killed by a train, an- other was burned to death and one man fell down some stairs. Two Hamilton area residents were knocked down by automobiles, Catherine M. Marshall, 78, in Ham- ilton and Frances Henrietta Eng- lish, 80, near her home at neigh- boring Ancaster. A car hit John E. Salisbury, 69, of Toronto as he sat on a curb, Seven-year-old Rod- rigue Pilon ran into the path of a motorcar near his Rockland, Ont., home. Struck by a car near his home, James N. Messecar, 39, of Waterdown, Ont., died in Hamilton hospital. Charles 'Thrasher, middle-aged farmer, died in hospital Saturday from injuries suffered Thursday when a team of horses bolted on his farm near Orillia, and threw him to the ground. Near Bathurst, N.B, Douglas Watson, 37, was trampled to death when a horse he was hitch- ing to a wagon bolted. Struck down while talking to his wife on the way home from shop- ping, George Edward Benjamin, 32, of Arnprior, was killed by a Can- adian Pacific Railway train at a town crossing Saturday might. Wit- nesses said warning bells were ring- ing and the whistle blowing. At Truro, N.S, 19-months-old Clara Elizabeth Jackson was burned to death Saturday night when fire, blamed on an 'overturned lamp, de- stroyed the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson, - Truro negro couple. John Graham of Toronto died in hospital Sunday of injuries suffered when he fell down a. flight of stairs in his home Saturday.

AF. members who escaped injury Saturday night when the small civ- ilian-owned plane in which they were flying from Crumlin to Chip- pawa, crashed here, were identified yesterday as Adair J McDonell, 21, of Verdun, Que., pilot, and John L. Den Ouden, 19, of Chippawa. The aircraft, rented from the Aviaco Company operated by J. M. Dobson of London, Ont,, ran out of fuel and crashed into trees during an at- tempted landing, ' Hold Driver Of Death Auto Pefferlaw, Nov. 2--Bert Pollard of Stouffville was killed almost in- stantly last night when a car in which he was a passenger failed to make a turn on the town fi. near here and crashed into a d pile at the side of the road. Police are holding the driver of the car, Norman Mantle, 31, of Claremont, who escaped injury.. When the car hit the sand pile Pollard was thrown forward, striz- ing his head on the windshield. The radiator was buried in the sand: Dr. M. D, Tuchtie of Sutton pro- nounced the man dead. Provincial Constable William An- drews of Beaverton investigated. . Queen Elizabeth Way No Place to Rest Toronto, Nov. 4--(CP)--The busy Queen Elizabeth Way which runs west from here to Hamilton is no place for a Saude) night rest, William C. Gilbert, 38, of Toronto, discovered. ' Police said Gilbert, wearing a motorcycle crash helmet, stretched out om the pavement as automobiles which whizzed by miss- He will face a charge of being intoxicated in a public place. "We are living in a terrible time," Dr. Gallagher asserted, In the. last 25 or 30 years there have been more martyrs of the Christian faith than in the first 300 years of the Christ ian era. For people today the fu- ture is fraught with the possibilities of atomic energy and the fears and suspicions of nations. The Christian Church should hold before men today the good news about God, Christ, man and history, sald the preacher. It is God's will that all kingdoms should become His, Christ is still today the Word of God, the fact of history. To evangelize, he pointed out, is so to present Jesus that men accept Him as Saviour and King and enter into the fellowship of the Church. Learn "Under the Cross" As secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches, Dr. Gallagher told of receiving weekly reports of the work and life of the Church throughout the world. The Christ- ian Church and the leaders in it in the occupied countries and in Nazi Germany, living as they called it "under the Cross" learned many things. They learned the fundamental importance of the Christian faith, the speaker declared. He termed as "silly" the statement so often made here. "It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you live right." "As a man thinketh in his heart 80 is he," he said, is true, 'The great trouble today is that the world has no common authority, no common faith, no common agreement about the meaning of the terms, justice, democracy and truth, We may use the same words but their content varies with per- ons and countries, Dr. Gallagher said. { Universal Need of God's Grace Christians in the occupied coun tries also learned the need of Divine grace, he said. The veneer of civil- ization is very thin upon us all, and the danger of degradation very near all of us. All, he asserted, need the grace of God. Another truth these martyrs learned was that God is available. He quoted the testimony of Dr. T. Z. Koo, who after suffering much hardship at the hands of the Japane ese in Hong Kong and Shanghai finally escaped on foot to Sian and then Chungking: "When one faces stark realities, one realizes that Christianity is true. I found a freee dom within which could not be take en away." Still another truth learned by the persecuted people in occupied coune GOD SPEAKS (Cotinued on Page 8) Trees Prevent Second Fatality Only a few hundred feet from where a transport truck driver plunged to his death off the Rouge River Bridge a week ago, Ralph Oh= lenes, Toronto, was saved from the same fate last Friday when his dumptruck was held" from rolling down the 150-foot embankment when it collided with some trees. The heavy truck, swinging out of a line of traffic immediately west of the Rouge bridge, left the highway, tore up 50 feet of guard rail and rolled over, coming to rest against several trees on the rim of the eb- bankment. Provincial Constable Charles Hef« feron, who investigated, said the driver was not injured. If the trees had not held it, the truck would have rolled, end over end, to the river below, a distance of more than 150 feet.
