| FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Charge Skullduggery In U.S. Dodge-Chrysler P Labor Union Riot Flares In Jamaica Kill 1, Scores Hurt Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 15 (CP)--Uneasy quiet settled today over the May Pen section near Kingston after one man was slain and scores injured yesterday when Jamaica's troubled unemployment situation boiled up and over. Reinforced squads of police kept a constant watch at . May Pen, an agricultural estates® area 40 miles from the Jamaican capital, where members of the Bust- amante Industrial Trades Union clashed with police called in to quell disorders which broke out during AB.1LT.U. meeting. (The Bustamante Industrial Trades Union is headed by W. A. Bustamante, Communications Min- ister in the government, the Island's labor leader and virtual Prime Minister). The government today was mak- ing final preparations for a com- mission of inquiry in the riot, to be Sided over by a Supreme Court at the same time, Bustmante is- sued orders to the unemployed members of his union to keep off the streets as much as possible. The disturbances began Wednes- day night at a union meeting when .a large number of unemployed threatened trouble if they were not given work immediately. U.K. Troops Check War In Greece Athens, Nov. 15--(CP)--Presence of some 20,000 British troops in Greece is the chief factor which prevents guerilla activity along the northern frontier from spreading into civil war, says a United States diplomat who has toured the north- ern regions, Elements of the 4th and Ih British Infantry Divisions are Greece, but' each division is ine gradually reduced and they now total only about four brigades, com- pared with a normal six brigades. brigades woul 22000 fighting men, with the other 8000 in Greece made up of base poh in Athens and line-of-com- to cope with This is the responsibility of the Greek Army itself. But the mere presence of British troops in the danger zones seems to deter the Greek Communists from extending the guerilla warfare to a t where a clash' with the Bri- forces would be practically in- evitable, said my American inform- ant. . Thus the frontier skirmishes are fairly scattered and there is no co- hesive action between one band and another. Ernest Bevin, British 'Foreign Secretary, has stated many times that British troops are in Greece to see that Democracy is re-es- tablished--to give the Greeks a chance to put their own house in order without civil war and blood- While some progress has been made towards this goal, the situa- tion here is still uncertain and ex- plosive. Advances towards the Democratic government which Bri- | tain would like to see in Greece |g could be eliminated possibly in a few weeks, some diplomats here say, if the British force were sud- denly withdrawn and the two ex- tremes in Greek politics--Royalists and Communists--opened a political battle that might easily lead to one with gums, TALK OR BE HANGED . . EVELYN DICK Toronto, Nov. 15--(CP)--Talk or be hanged . . . , in effect, was the choice given her by the Crown, Mrs. Eve- lym Dick said in Wer notice of appeal against' conviction of the March 0 killing of her husband, 40- year-old John Dick. Of proceedings since her convic- tion just one month ago today when an Assize Court jury recom- mended mercy, her appeal notice said: "It was intimated to me that if I did not testify against others charged with the same crime the recommendation of mercy by the jury would receive scant considera- tion." So far she has remained stead- fast in her refusal to talk further about the March 6 murder, her refusal to testify for the Crown against her father, Donald Mac- Lean, and her former boy friend, William Bohozuk, with whom she admitted intimacy five days after she married John Dick in October, 1945. Both men are charged with the killing. The Crown has made it evident | *% that the young widow's testimony is vital to the case against the two men who stood trial for two days following her conviction last month asd then, when she refused to tes- tity, had their case remanded to Jan. 16. The notice of appeal was filed at Osgoode Hall yesterday by defence Counsel John Sullivan just one before the deadline of 30 days after conviction. plication for an order of reprieve from her sentence of death on Jan. 7 would be filed some time next month. In the notice Mrs. Dick sald her with the slaying of her son-in-law whose dismembered body was found March 16 on Hamilton Mountain but last spring the charge was with- drawn and she was released on bond as a material witness. Mrs, Dick, mn her appeal notice, mentioned the holding of the grand jury in session during her trial and sald there was no reason for this "except as it might possibly concern my mother." "It was a procedure shocking all sense of decency by compelling a mother to testify against her own daughter under fear of prosecution against herself." +The condemned woman sald statements she gave to police were obtained by trickery and cajolery . ++ "I was without benefit of legal advice; alone and helpless, and hounded by agents of the law; wheedled and cajoled by promises of r an tion of a less- er charge it "I would implicate others." Also her notice objected to the trial judge, Mr, Justice F, H. Bar- , allowing as 'evidence her five tements to police, the last of which declared Bohozuk killed her husband by firing two bullets into Dick's head from the back seat of a borrowed car while the murdered man sat in the fromt seat beside his wife who drove the car to a lonely spot about 15 miles from Hamilton. Call Those Islanders Anything But 'Newfies' St. John's, Nfld, Nov. 15--(CP)-- Though the derivation of its name is as logical as its prosaic title im- plies, even Newfoundianders--never never "Newfles" -- are a bit hazy about the pronunciation of the name of their island. But on one point they're pretty well agreed--it isn't the pronuncia- tion given by the Oxford dictionary, which places the accent on "found." = them that's particularly obnox- us. ' Here are other variations, a few adopted by native islanders and the rest regarded with the scorn which would attend the pronunciation of "ironical" as "iro-nickel." 1. Newfn'Ind, accent on the first syllable. 2. n"nLand, accent on the last syllable. 3. Newf'nLand, acceat on both first .and last syllables. 4. New-Found-Land, all three syl- lables accented equally. 5. N'F'L'D, the abbreviation, de- livered in the manner of a quick sneeze by those who admit they haven't got the slightest idea how to pronounce the name correctly." 6.. The horror of horrors, Newfie, employed by the ignorant or by those who wish to offend deliber- ately. The term "Newfie," though prob- ably not planted by Canadian serv- icemen during the war, certainly was cultivated by them and in the island it is a foul weed which the natives are trying--sometimes vain- ly, it seems--to dig up and cast forth forever. When explorer John . Cabot re- turned to Bristol in August of 1497, he informed Henry VII that he had discovered, naturally enough, =a new-found-land. For his discovery of 42,734 square miles of abundancy Mr. Cabot was paid $50. But this $50 and a later annual pension of $100 to "hym that dis- covered ye new isle" was paid out of the coffers of the people of Bris- tol. Consequently Bristolites had a good deal to say, most of it bad, about this new-found-land. Thus the name Newfoundland came into general usage. Unless Newfoundland were pro- nounced as three separate words the line would not scan and a pro- nunciation . adopted merely to fit the rhythm would make the whole thing ridiculous. So today the formal pronuncia- tion of Newfoundland calls for three "connecter-separate" words with no special accent on any of them. However, in conversation Newfoundlanders have a tendency to slur the middle syllable and it cones out as Newi'nLands He said an appeal ap- | Shown in this architect's drawing is the proposed new East York Town- ship municipal hall which will cost an estimated in Memorial Park, at the corner of Mortimer and Coxwell Avenues, the new building will include police offces, welfare department, health offices, To be built $200,000 Memorial Municipal Hall Planned In East York as well as a spacious council room.

Ottawa, Nov. 15--(CP)--If law- yers debating the question of rhu- barb before a United States Cus- toms Court at Buffalo, N. Y., expect any help from hotanists in settling the matter of whether the plant is a fruit or vegetable, they're going to be disappointed. Although, Dr. F. L. Drayton, Dominion Botanist, Avers, one thing is quite clear botanically: It's not a fruit, The matter cropped up when U. 8. customs brokers protested a 50 per-cent duty on rhubarb shipped from Toronto to a Lockport, N. Y., canning. company. Fresh fruits car- ry only a 35 per cent duty, and the brokers are anxious to prove rhu- barb should fall in this latter cate- Ty. While quite certain the plant is not a fruit; botanically. speaking, Dr, Drayton admits that there is a by the layman and the botanist. "Actually, there's no such thing as a 'vegetable' botanically speak- ply a piece of vegetation. To a lay=- man vegetable is term for things day | ced .as a-side dish, sort 'of, with meat." ing," he said. "A vegetable is sim-' Is Rhubarb A Vegetable Or Fruit? $50 Question A fruit, on the other hand, is de- fined as an organ in a plant which has resulted from.the fertilization of the flower. On this basis, the Dominion Botanist stated, pump- kins and squash are both fruit... Dr. Drayton then launched into a discourse on the sex life of the pea- nut, which, although it grows un- derground, is also a fruit. The pea- nut, he related, was formed from the flower above ground, and then was pushed underground by the plant itself. Rhubarb? Well, the part that is eaten is the stalk, which is really a "Petiole" or extension of the leaf. "Not many petioles are. eaten," Dr. Drayton said "At the moment, I can't think of any. .." "Swiss chard," offered Mrs. Dray- ton, intrigued by the telephone in- terview. Her husband agreed. . How would he define rhubarb, say, if he weren't speaking botani- wide variation between terms used | cally? "Well, I certainly wouldn't call it a fruit. » He offered one suggestion, how- ever, which may or may not help the jawyers in Buffalo:-- . "At the Experimental farm here, we'd get around it this way: "We'd call it a 'field crop.'"

Ottawa, Nov. 15--(CP)--Canada's stock of butter dropped last month, although fluid milk, cream, and butter, were sufficient for local needs, the prices board reported to- day in its October food survey. The Board predicted this winter Cana- dians will find a "moderate" im- provement in supplies of types of food which have been scarce during the year. Cereals, packaged flour, cream corn, corn syrup, popcorn, yellow= eye and white beans, bananas, can- ned goods, apples and potatoes, were in better supply during the month, Powdered milk and ice cream were still short in Montreal, and there was little improvement in the cheddar cheese and evaporated milk situations, Retailers in districts where fresh milk is available gave priority on canned milk to infants and invalids. Nov. 1 these "restrict- ed areas" were widened where pri- ority sale of canned milk is by cou. pon, In the first eight months of 1046 tinned milk sales exceeded those for the whole of 1944. Supplies of chicken and fowl were adequate, and large process- ing plants in Manitoba worked to full capacity.

The Princess yesterday visited Ex- eter"s famed orthopedic hospital, named for her 19 years ago, and then left by train for London. On her visit to the hospital she paused by a cot endowned by The King and Queen at the time of the dedication of the hospital and stud- ied a picture of herself at the age of 10 which hung on the wall. "Why, I don't think I've seen that one before," she remarked. "Perhaps they forgot to show it to resolution this week to increase |me. 'The Princess toured the wards and talked with many patients, includ- ing 16-year-old Margaret Pitkard of Bude, Devonshire, who presented [her with a pair of gloves she had mad e. "Thank you," said Princess Eliza- beth. "They're very lovelyy' Devonshire newspapers dlsplayed the Royal visit prominently with numerous pictures and the Western Morning News published an editor- fal reviewing past royal visits in- 'cluding that of Charles II to Ply- mouth after the civil war of the 17th 'century.
