THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1946 shawa Is Key Point In Bell Expansion Program Field Supervisor | Urges C.A.S. Use Long Range Plans Mr. Ecker, Field Supervisor from the Children's Aid Branch of the Department "the meeting of the Board of of Public Welfare, attended the Children's Aid Society of the County of Ontario and City of Oshawa on Thursday night. H. P. Schell, President, presided and reported the Society had been given a "B" grading by the Depart- ment for the year ending March 31, 1046. This is the same rating the Society has had for several years, - Illegitimacy Increasing Mr. Ecker, at the invitation of the president, enlarged on the De- partment's report. He stated that the war years the Depart- ment had felt some anxiety about the work of Children's Aid Societies owing to the increased demands be- ing made on Social Workers and staff demands made by the Ser- vices. Now that the war was over many of the social problems which made themselves felt following the First World War were again evident but on a larger scale. The divorce rate was rising, the number of common-law unions was appalling and illegitimacy was on the up- grade. All these conditions were increased general and on Children's Aid S8o- cleties in particular. Mr. Ecker urged that the Social work program of the next few years would probably determine the pat- tern of Social Work for the future, and called upon the Board to take a wide view of the work needing to be done and to plan on a long range scale. Miss M. Hancock in her monthly of the Social Work, showed t there had been: 200 visits paid homes, 100 children in care seen, B4 interviews in the office, 26 case conferences and meetings attended, 15 attendances at court. Children turned from foster homes, Six chil- dren had been placed in foster homes during the month. There had also been four children in Detention the month. The House Committee reported that at its monthly meeting pre- plans were made for the coming Christmas season. i Plan Anniversary Salvation Army Songster Brigade The Salvation Army Songster Brigade, which will be holding its '36th Anniversary on November 16 and 17, has had a very long history of Suet gervice in Oshawa. augura in 1910 under the leadership of William Gadd, who had just come from Peterborough, 'Ontario; growth was consistent and progressive, until at the present 'writing the Brigade numbers forty m During the intervening years, several local musicians have been leaders of the group, including such personalities as Fred Calvert, 'Thomas Coull, Harold Bailey, at 'present an army officer in Boston; Albert Owen, Albert Bryant, Arthur Bryant, now an army officer in To. ronto; Herbert Gentry, and at the present time James Badley. The personnel includes a large number who have "come up" from the Sunday School, and while youth is prominent, it is interesting that # goodly number of older choristers still render faithful service, The sweet singing, which is its chief ©haracteristic, is much appreciated in the gatherings in which it takes 'part, The 'Salvation Army has an intérnational force of 72,625 song- sters, all of whom freely give their time and talents to God's service. 'VANDENBERG PLEDGES US. CO-OPERATION New York, Nov. 9--(AP)--The 51 United Nations delegations, cheer- ed by Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg's Republican party assurance of an unchanged United States for- eign. policy, went on with their quest - for peace and a permanent headquarters. Sen. Vandenberg's post-election pledge of whole-hearted United States co-operation with the U.N. was looked upon as a promise that the incoming majority party In Congress had no intention of fost- ering any vestige of isolationism. The Republican Senator from Michigan was brief but pointed in his statement to the U.N, yesterday. He sald: "I reassert, with whatever author- ity I possess, that, regardless of what political regime sits in Wash- ington, you can count upon the whole-hearted co-operation of the government of the United States in striving, through the United Na- tions, for a system of mutual de- fense against agression and for organized peace-with-justice in a better, safer and happier world." ---------------- PythiansPlan Aid Vets At Sunnybrook A meeting of Oshawa Lodge, No. 47, held last night, took on the as- pect of an inter-city convention when Fred Hall of Brantford, Grand Chancellor of the Order of Knights of Pythias in Ontario, paid his of- ficial visit accompanied by a retinue of Grand Lodge dignitaries and a large number of Knights from Hamilton and Toronto, The keynote of the proceedings Wwés an open 'discussion of commun- ity service to be performed by the order and the planning of various projects which it is expected to complete within the present Grand Lodge term. Included in these pro- jects is the furnishing and main- taining of a solarium at the Sunny. brook Military Hospital in Toronto, and a further project which will, through the office of the Canadian Red Cross, add to the comfort and relaxation of disabled veterans now in various military hospitals. The great need for community service was stressed in discussions and Oshawa Lodge resolved to con- tinue its encouragement of organiz. ed juvenile play which recently cul- minated in the presentation of a Pythian Trophy to the champion- ship team in the Juvenile Softball League at a testimonial dinner, by Aubrey Orouter, Chancellor Com- mander of Oshawa Lodge, During the meeting Oshawa Lodge voted a donation to the cur- paign.

Move Peach-Fuzz Cargoes, Have Molasses Well In N.S. Truro, NS. Nov. 9.--(CP)--As the electric-eel-propelled S.S. Mari- gold, majestic flagship of the Brown Star Line Navigation Com- pany Ltd. sailed up the foot-deep Salmon River near Truro, laden with a cargo of peach fuzz for the nearby peach-manufacturing plant, she passed her sister ship, the Em- press of Parrsboro. The Empress was outbound with a cargo of molasses just piped into her hold from a molasses well discovered be- neath the sugar shale of north- western Nova Scotia. If you're a bit skeptical about all this any Truro resident will confirm it for you. In fact, he will quote you the Marigold's exact sailing times and her passenger list. And if you're lucky you might see aboard Sena- tor McSnuffy or Mr. Blather or Dr. William Yonkers Sudds, presi- deat of Cobequid University, an in- stitution of higher learning which grants only honorary degrees. All these wired goings-on and not-so-weird people are part of a vast legend built up by W. B. Foster, recently named president of the Nova Scotia Weekly Newspapers Association. He presents them to the public in' columns called "The Olio" and "The Marigold Sails Again" in the Truro Weekly News and the Guysboro County Advocate and Canso Breeze and through an inexhaustible flood of letters to the Editor of the Truro Daily News. Mr, Foster writes under the nom de plume of "Edwin Sherdlou," an Anglicized version of what you get when you run your hand over a line of linotype keys. He is in his mid- fifties, tall, wears an owlish smile and is advertising manager of the Daily News. Since he started The Olio in 1934 and put the Brown Star Line ("all the other colored stars were used up") into operation, the move- ments of the Marigold, which has rubber funnels so it can pass under bridges, are a subject as keenly dis- cussed as the weather and crops. For instance, if you ask to be shown the Marigold, you will get a deadpan answer something like this: "I'm sorry, but she clearea port at 4:27 a.m. with a cargo of hair tonic (Mr. Foster is bald) from the Browntop Hair Tonic Corpora- tion at Riverdale." Directors of the Brown Stat Line will call up an insurance company on the mildest day imaginable and take out enormous amounts of hur- ricane insurance on the Marigold. The company soberly accepts the order, Many an outsider has been taken in by Mr, Foster, who in 1935 founded the Imagination Party, whose sole p is to make big- ger and better promises than any other political group. A Georgia editor wanted to con- firm the story about the molasses gushers, a company wanted to buy time on television station ICU, vari- ous persons have sought to buy shares in the $100,000,000 Brown Star Line, a provincial chemist wished to verify that planted milk powder had preduced macaroni and cheese, and hundreds of persons, including Senators, have been is- sued free passes on the Marigold. Premier Angus L. Macdomald of Nova Scotia holds one. Into this whimsical spoofing Mr. Fcster injects some of the choicest wit and most brilliant satire to be read in Canada today. In particular he ribs the Senate and Senators and _governmental "interference." With his Senate lottery, similar somewhat to the Irish sweepstakes; Mr. Foster claims everybody has an equal chance of becoming a Senator and that cash from ticket sales will pay for the upkeep of that august Last August, at the time of the Nuernberg trials, he wrote: "The German war criminals' trial con- tinues, It looks now as if all but the youngest of the accused would die natural deaths before the ver- dicts are brought in. Only equal to these trials for sheer delay is the continued inaction about filling the two vacant Nova Scotia seats in the Senate." Mr, Foster often uses the names of his friends in his columns, The good ship Marigold soon is to move into waters far from the Salmon River.

Official Secrecy Defence Keynote As Ottawa Scientists Weave Pattern Ottawa, Nov. 9. -- (CP) -- Prob- lems of o the new Cana- dian Defence Research Department are as unique as the department itself. . The department, set up on paper early last year when Dr. O, M. So- t, 37-year-old former army scientist, was chosen to plot its construction, still is in the blue- print stage. As an equal partner with the three armed services, it _ will continue. research connections during the war and form a central administrative organiza- tion to scientific work for the land, sea and air forces. . It is the first time science has 'been on an equal footing with other forces. The United States has a central liaison office to co-ordinate the scientific work "of its forces, but it is believed ino other country has attempted to give cfence a seat on its chiefs-of-staff Wcommittee as Canada has done. 'Great Britain is understood, how- 'ever, to be considering such a step, 'and to be watching closely devel- opments of the Canadian experi- . 'ment. isays. Basic needs of the new depart- ment are the scientists ard re- search workers who will make up its personnel. ¢ "In research, the work is no good . unless it is good work," Dr. Eolandt .And the former army Col- "onel is laying careful plans to at- tract a staff of crack workers. One of the main problems to be faced, ®he director believes, is that of security, Defence research must necessarily stay to some extent at least on the secret list, But a scientist's reputation is based on the number and importance of the Publications he produces, and good research men cannot be attracted to the new department if such publications are prohibited. The answer, Dr. Solandt believes, lies in compromise. The depart~ ment's workers must be permitted to publish their discoveries when at all possible, and must under- stand exactly why not if security bars publication. - Another means of attracting an eager group of young research men will be by obtaining a number of reputable senior scientists, While no details have been work- ed out, Dr. Solandt is determined that the service will not be crippled by lack of funds. ; Administrative work will be sharply cut off and delegates to an administrative staff. It is expected the end of the next university year will bring forth many men who did research work during the war and returned promptly to college to supplement their war-shortened degrees. These men are considered ideal for the Separiment ig they Rave a goss g, field experience, an i vu Ww I their interest in research. Once organized, the Research Department will take part in many and various service jobs, working on everything from seasickness re- medies to aircraft icing. On cold- weather experiments such as Exer- cise Muskox, for example, it will send along its own staff, 4n full charge of scientific developments, with the purely military side of the exercise handled by the sek- vice concerned, ve One' field it will not enter, ac- cording to present plans, is that of atoiic research, which will remain under the Atomic Energy Control Board headed by Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton. ¢ "The government has -- quite wisely--decided to keep atomic re- search a peace problem," 'said Dr, Solandt. It will be administered by the National Research Council under the Board. The new department, while in- terested primarily in military re- search, will, the director believes, produce great peacetime benefits. He cited radar and insectides, pro- duced by the chemical warfare branch, as examples, "In 'the last war, the discovery, for example of a serum for rinder- pest alone was probably worth all we spent on the war," he stated. "Not to Canadians, perhaps, since we do not have the disease in this country; but to mankind general- ly, in the long run." ton, Grand Prelate Hedley Draper War Heroes Honored In Remembrance Day School Services Here Services of remembrance for all those who gave their lives in the two Great Wars were held in the Public and Separate Schools of the city yesterday, Wreaths were placed on the cenotaph in Memorial Park by representatives of the schools as a special feature. At eleven a. m. Sea Cadets and Boy Scouts from the various schools, led by A. W. Jacklin, principal of Centre Street School, laced wreaths in memory of Oshawa war dead on the cenotaph and a two- minute silence was observed. The wreaths were the gift of the public school pupils, many of whose broth- ers lost their lives in the Second Great War, Meanwhile at the different schools services were going on or were scheduled for later in the af- ternoon at which emphasis was placed on teaching the children the meaning of these great sacrifices as they applied to the youth of to- day. Gathering in their halls or in- hymns were sung, recitations given and addresses on the memorial theme were spoken, Albert Street School The guest speaker at Albert Street School was Rev. E. H. Mc- Lellan of Holy Trinity Anglican Church and the usual remembrance service was held in the hall with Principal R. H. Broadbent paying tributesto those recent school mem. bers who paid the supreme sacrifice, Cedardale School Cedardale School's principal, Jo- seph R Patterson, said that .cere- monies there had been held in the individual school rooms with a per. iod of two minutes silence held at 11 o'clock after which the various teachers told their pupils the story of the day and its meaning to them. King Street School F. Davidson of Knox Presbyterian Church spoke on the subject of "the picture, be said, wa sreally an ideal that the young peopie should main. tain for themselves and for the world in which they had to live. As an example of one maintaining this Jdeal he cited the case of Oshawa's Lloyd Chadburn, whom he knew well when he was overseas,--a man 'who held high an ideal until his death.

Two minute silence followed the prayer to the fallen. North Simcoe School Speaking on the fact that there is no glamor in war but that the great honor must be paid to those who died, Rev. B. 8, Morwood of Northminister United Church fea- tured the ceremonies at North Sim- coe School yesterday afternoon. Lindsay Drummond recited "In Flanders Field" and Maureen Lang also gave a short recitation, Hymns were sung and silence obsefved, Separate Schools Program At both St. Gregory's and Holy Cross Separate Schools services were held in the various classrooms with the teachers leading the pupils in prayer and song. Emphasis was placed on the need for prayer for the souls of those who left their na- tive land to perish on a foreign field in a noble cause. At St. Gregory's the ceremony was in charge of the school Literary Society, and severa] recitations were given, Ritson School Ritson School held remembrance services in the classrooms and at 11 o'clock opened the doors of the rooms during the singing of "Oh Canada" and the two minute silence so that the whole school might feel as one in its memorial ceremony. The suitable hymns and recitations were rendered and talks by the teachers given. South Simcoe School An unusual feature of the pro- gram at South Simcoe School was a choral reading of "In Flanders Field" by the 36 pupils of Miss Vida Langmaid's class. Rev, H.

The first pointed implication to Canadian authorities came last night from London, where an offi- cial of the Polish Embassy said Poland holds the Canadian govern- ment responsible for allowing the 32 trunks of "priceless" treasures to be lost. The Canadian spokesman said there was no basis for that state- ment. The Dominion was "sorry" for the present Polish Legation in Ottawa and would do everything possible to assist in recovery of the treasures but would accept no re- sponsibility. Still on the books was the meet- ing next Tuesday morning between Lester B., (Mike) Pearson, under- secretary of State and Dr. Alfred Fiderkiewicz, the new Polish Min- ister to -Canada, But indications were that their talks might be only a general dis- cusston of the situation, The Ex- ternal Affairs spokesman who an- nounced the meeting sald Mr; Pear- son still had no official knowledge of the disappearance of the treas- ures. These were the apparent facts 2%; days after the story became known: 24 trunks are missing from a church at the famous shrine town of Ste. Anne de Beaupre; eight trunks are missing from the Con- vent of the Precious Blood in Ot- tawa south; two trunks were found undisturbed in the vaults of the Sparks Street branch of the Bank of Montreal here but as yet have not been returned to Polish custody. Other statements, not proven to be fact, added confusion to the al- ready complicated picture, One came from a former Polish officer in Montreal who said the transfer of the 34 trunks from the original cache in the Central Ex- perimental Farm here was carried out under the direction of "high Vatican authorities," This officer said the "Polish pa- triotic oranization" intended to ship the treasurers to Rome if necessary to keep them out of the hands of the present Polish government, des- cribed by Poles here as "puppet Russian-dominated." ------------------------------------------ The tourmaline, found in 1703, is a newcomer to the family of gem stones, Will Install New 12-Channel High Frequency System Montreal, Nov. 9.--In a Bell Telephone report of widespread importance, President F. Johnson announces that the company's 1946 outlay of close to $38,000,000 is the first stride in a $100,000,000 planned project for ex- pansion and improvement to the end of next year. Further steps to be taken in the® immedigte future includes those de- signed to afford a complete catch- up on service orders deferred by material shortages; restoration and betterment of pre-war levels of standard telephone performance, conversion of more manual ex- changes to modern dial operation and rehabilitation of plant equip- ment generally to the point it had reached before all-out war effort and unexampled post-war activity strained it to the limit. Extend Service 80 broad and far-reaching are the plans involved to recondition and extend existing equipment that practically every point in Bell tef- ritory will share in them to some important degree during the nexs three or four years, it is stated. Earliest effect of the continuing program is revealed in a 10-month net increase of some 109,000 tele- phones added throughout Ontario and Quebec since the first of this year, Major projects are completion of the new Montreal-Ste., Agathe cable route, much of it underground, and the laying of buried cable between Montreal and Trois Rivieres to be placed in service next year, Carrier equipment 'which permits 12 simul taneous conversations over one pair of wires is being installed on cir- cuits in the Montreal-Ottawa~ Toronto cable this year, Equipment Similar Similar equipment is being added on open-wire lines between Toronto, North Bay and Winnipeg for ser- vice next year. More talking. one nels in the early future will link many branch routes with'main lines of the Trans-Canada Telephone System, while the latter are being enlarged from Montreal east to the New Brunswick border to provide more talk-tracks to the Maritimes, and from Oshawa westward to Win- nipeg. On this route installation of a new-type high frequency 12-chan- nel carrier system will be the first of its kind in Canada. Long dis- tance facilities thus augmented be- tween Ontario, Quebec and Mani toba will connect with open-wire at Winnipeg and a three-channel car- Roseneath Woman Suffers Face Cuts One person was slightly injured in a collision on King Street East last night when a car, driven by Clarence Varcoe of Roseneath, Ont., struck a parked truck belonging to Norman Irvine of Taunton, Mus. Hazel Varcoe, who was sitting in the front seat of the auto, suffered facial cuts and shock and is still in hospita] here today. Mr, Irvine told police he had parked his truck in fron{ of 245 King Street Bast to make a call, when the car came into collision ° with left rear end of the truck, Po. lice sald that considerable damage had been done to both vehicles, The cause of the accident was not re- vealed though it was a wet night and the pavemepts slippery. rier system running to the west coast. Total outlay announced for land and buildings inclides a large pro= ject associated with the Montreal long distance centre and covers ex= tensions to many telephone ex- changes and repeater stations situe ated at regular intervals along ine tercity cable routes, New Bell bulld- ings already under construction are Montreal, Trenmore, Toronto to Ore chard and St. Catharines dial ex- changes. Extensions are now being made to existing exchange premises at Chatham and Simcoe, Nears Completion At Quebec City excavation work is almost complete in preparation for the erection of a new west end dial exchange that is part of the biggest telephone expansion pro- gram ever developed in that dise trict, North Bay, Wallaceburg, and Willowdale, Ontario, are among other points at which Bell building extensions are to be put under way shortly.
