While charging Ottawa with ac- tions threatening to disrupt Con- federation, the Quebec Premier de- clared in a speech here his govern- "collaborate" on taxation but on terms other than those now offered. The latest proposals advanced in last June's Federal budget speech, he said, were "even worse" than those put forward at the Dominion- Provincial Conference. "We have deep-rooted traditions to safeguard," he said. "We say to the other provinces and the Dom- inion, "we want to collaborate with you, but remember that collabora- tion is not a one-way street' The Federal government today is using the extraordinary powers it abro- gated to itself in order that they may administer the affairs of this country any way they see fit. "The Dominion government Is following the very policy which tens of thousands of Canadians sacrific- ed their lives to defeat--the policy | 4 of Fascism, Nazism, centralization." The Dominion's policy of dealing individually with the provinces on financial agreements was described by Mr. Duplessis as "encouraging the corruption of Confederation." It would cause disunity and set one province against another, Speaking at the opening of the Canadian International Paper Com- pan's plywood mill here, Premier Duplessis also lashed out at Com- munist labor leaders. He said Que- bec was on the verge of the great- est industrial development of any Canadian province. Eastern Canada fatalities record- ed during the week-end by a Can- adian Press Survey showed thut 12 pedsons lost their lives--six in On- tario, five in Quebec, and one in New Brinswick.

Marie, Nov. 18 -- (CP) -- Kicking the animal in the face with his bare foot was the method used by Arvo Ser- via, railroad section foreman, to his home near here ruhing the drive a bear out of the yard of week-end. "Algoma residents are either-getting braver or the bears are getting soft," was the comment of Al Jones, veteran guide and trapper, on hearing of Servio's claim. Reds Strip China Capital For War Yenan, Nov. 18 (AP)--This Com- -| munist capital of China is being stripped for action in the expecta- tion of assault by central govern- ment forces. The decision of Gen. Chou En-Lai, chief Communist negotiator, to return from Nanking means virtually a clean break with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. Yenan is becoming hourly more like a ghost city--stripped of its hospitals,, educational institutions, factories and anything that could hamper its defence or be of use to an invader. The Communists are convinced that Chiang's troops will strike a- new at Yenan with the hope that once it came into his hands he could proclaim to the world that the Communists have been reduced to impotency.

By THE FEATURE WRITER From _ Varsity This is a featitre story. Every day, we are expected to produce a few feature stories, To- day, there don't seem to be any around, and there is this great big hole in page 3 which must some- how be filled. Do you ever wonder about news- papers? Newspapers are very complicated indeed. There just is not enough news to fill them. And yet people expect a great big paper every day, with sixteen or eighteen pages of reading matter, So we have de- partments giving advice to the love- lorn, advice to parents, legal advice, etc. Then the editor writes things which gre bound to stir people.up to the point of letter-writing. This gives us a lot of letters, and an- other big hole is filled up. Some time ago an enterprising editor discovered that there are very many people indeed who can find nothing better to do with their Saturday afternoons than sitting around watching muscular young gents rub each other around in the dirt. This gave birth to the sports page. All these things actually are de- signed to produce enough reading matter to make an attractive border for the advertisement which are the real reason for newspapers, as any business manager will tell you. But when an enterprising business man- ager sells a lot more ads, the editor- ial staff have to produce stil] more literature for the masses. 80 we have society pages, and write-ups of tea parties and finan- cial pages where you can find out how much money you would have made if you bought Consolidated Corporations at 3% in 1929 But still the insatiable gaps must be filled, every day. And that is where features come in., A feature story is not a news story. That is perhaps the best definition that can be given. When all the news is in, and that big hole is still there in the page, the copy desk starts to scream for features. And the feature editor has to produce them. Stories which are not tied to the dateline, which are interesting, lively, and read- able, Stories. which satisfy the human desire to know about things. A feature editor lives a weird in- ternal life. He is always looking for something. When he glances up at « flagrole, and sees that the edge of the flag is frayed and worn, he doesn't dismiss it from his mind. No, He grabs an already over- worked reporter and sends him out to find out who makes flags, where the city gets them from, how long they last, and how much it costs to keep the municipal flagpoles paint- ed And a few days later, when the copy desk lets. out a shrill yelp at the sight of a column and a half of I There! Now You Know How We Fill The Holes blank paper, the feature 'editor pro- duces his three pictures of flags be- ge made and the feature story on gs. Someone mentions casually that a group has been formed to present the plays of Cyprius Di Screpansi, the 15th century Italian dramatist. Again the harassed reporter is hail- ed, handed an address and a street car ticket. What would an atom bomb do to Toronto? What does Lawrence Tibbett do with his spare time? And so on, and so on. Yes, it is a strange life. It may take anything up.to three days to gather the material for a story which is cut to 400 words, appears in one edition of the paper, and is forgotten. And still the copy desk is demanding more. 'The copy desk right here in The Varsity office is yelling at us right now. Here you are, George. This is a feature story. Parental Love g Fathers Downfall * Lindsay, Nov. 18--(CP)--Convict- ed of abducting his two sons, aged 12 and 10, Harold Gardner, Toron- to, Saturday was given two years suspended sentence. The two boys had been placed in their mother's custody following divorce proceed- ings. Evidence at the hearing show- ed that Gardner went to the home in Mariposa Township where the children were placed by the mother. He told the guardian he was reliev- ing her of the children then pro- ceeded to the school they attended and took them back with him to Toronto. dication hy the minister of the church, Rev. E. Donovan Jones, were a wine and gold pulpit drape and union table cover, in memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. William R. Burr; flower pedestals in memiry of Doreen Rebecca Nor- ton, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Norton, whose. un- timely death occurred in 1940; and brass railings with wine-colored velvet drapes about the choir loft, in memory of the late Mrs. Eliza- beth Ann Shemilt. Long Congregation Memba's The pulpit and communion table drapes were presented by Mrs. Hen- ry Hogarth, Mrs. H. Hoy, and Wil- fred, Irwin and Charles Burr, as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. Burr who served in Albert Street Church from 1915 until their deaths Mr Burr passed away in 1934 at the age of [~~ 84 and Mrs, Burr nine years later at the age of 90. Mrs, Elizabeth Ann Schemilt was one of the pioneers in the founding of the Albert Street congregation and served with Christian devotion until her death this year, She was president of the Woman's Associa- tion for many years and at the time of her death was honorary presi- dent," The furnishings dedicated in her memory were presented by Gor- don E. Shemit; Mrs. Cecil Bint, Mrs. James Beckel, Mrs. William Shemilt, Mrs. Jack Wilson, Mrs. Betty Shemilt and their jmmediate families, As a conclusion to the service of dedication, the congregation joined in -reading the psalm selection "Souls of the Righteous" from the third chapter of the Book of Wis- om, Spiritual War Declaring that there is a spiritual war going on in the world today be. tween God and the forces of evil, Mr. Beckel, who served in the south part of Oshawa from 1909-13 when the Albert Street and Cedardale congregations were merely Sunday Schools, challenged his listeners to 3u into the fight--on the Lord's e." "In our struggle against.fhe forces of evil, let us plan to win, organize to win, work to win--and win," the conference president urged, as he referred to Paul's words in the eighth chapter of Romans, written when he was in prison awaiting the execution of his death sentence: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." - 'We are wise to know that the forces of evil of strong, he went on, but we are foolish to believe that they can win, : He said that preparation to be "successful soldiers of Jesus Christ" was twofold. To win out in this bat- tle we must first have wrought in us the miracle of salvation and tiren fit ourselves for the battle by put- ting on the whole armour of God." Stressing the urgency of the task, Mr. Beckel declared that today the world "stands between spiritua) life and death." and time is no longer on our side. "If we are going to win the fight we must keep a vital relationship with Jesus Christ," he urged, des- cribing as "cutflower Christians" those who "cut themselves away from the source of their strength and so quickly die." NO SHRINERS INVOLVED A member of the Oshawa Shrine Club has asked The Times-Gazette to point out that none of the wives of the members of the club were in the elevator which stopped between floors at Hotel Genosha last Fri- day night, NOTHING MISSING BUT PROWLER Toronto, Nov. 18 -- (CP) -- When Mr. and Mrs. William Porter returned home about 8 o'clock last night, they surpris- ed a young man who was trying to rob thei: home, The Porters had,. gone out for a brief visit and left their door wumlocked. Nothing was missing but the robber -- he ran right by-'the Porters as they came in. . Local Salvation Army Enjoyed Music Festival The local Salvation Army Citadel was the scene of a week-end festival of sacred music, vocal an dinstru- mental, attended by capacity con- gregations, as the Oshawa Songster Brigade marked its 36th annivers- ary yesterday. ; Outstanding guest artists present were the Windsor Citadél Ensemble, composed of 11 musicians, Songster Mrs. Douglas Murray, AT.C.M. of North Toronto, and her accompan- ist, Jack Wood, who combined with the local Songster Brigade and Sal- vation Army Band to lead in in- 'spiring services of praise. - Guest speaker at the morning and evening services was Adjutant Arn- old Brown. He took for his subject in the evening "Not Far from the Kingdom." - The festival began Saturday eve- ning when a concert of instrument- al and vocal music was given and a similar program was given Sunday afternoon. The week-end came to a successful conclusion with another sacred program following the Sup day evening service. Of particular note among the musicians were Edward O'Connor, bass horn, Railton Wade, euphon- ium and Clifford Williams, cornet. Another cornet player in the en- semble, Edward Freeman, was also an outstanding baritone singer, his rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" being particularly impressive. Songster Leader James Badley and Bandsman ,Chris Osborne were largely respoasible for the arrange- ments for the successful week-end. foursome is proved by the picture.

H, Daniel, president of the local brarich, who as a that meeting. "The tremendous responsibility of guiding some 16,000 war brides and 7,000 children who have been wel- comed to the Province of Ontario since January, 1946, is now drawing to a close, the boat loads being scheduled to arrive before Christ- mas. Plans are being further evolv- ed however for keeping in touch with these mew Canadians, and for helping them in their problems of settling down to Canadian life. "The demands for sewing and knitting remain extensive; so much so that the Oshawa Branch finds itself in the position of having to procure increased space in which to handle the volume which its Wo- men's Work Committee, under, Mrs. P. 8. Lee, has undertaken to pro- vide," Mr. Daniel explained. "Over and above the needs of our Ontario outpost hospitals, which, according to a recent announcement by. the Ontario Government, are to be greatly 'expanded, Great Britain's needs remain the first responsibility. A warehouse has recently been opened in Bayeux, Normandy, whence Red Cross personnel are distributing badly needed supplies, particularly layettes and clothing for young children. A further ship- ment has recently been made to China. Mr, Daniel said an interestnig in- terlude to the business of the meet- ing were short talks given by Mrs. G. H. Dunbar of the Women's Vol- untary" Services of Great Britain, and Dr. W. Veenstra of the Nether- lands Red Cross. Examples of Application In thanking the Ontario Division for their wartime and postwar ef- forts Mrs. Dunbar referred to sev- eral examples of direct application of Canadian clothing and hospital supplies. She spoke of\ the .bringing of some 10,000 Dutch children from the Netherlands to Britain. The British government was forced to rule that Britain's United stocks of clothing could not be drawn upon. Largely from stocks of - Canadian Red Cross clothing these children now in Britain, are being clothed. The first convoys to Malta, in her dire need, carried Canadian Red Cross clothing and hospital supplies. The Channel Isles, when finally freed from German occupation, were quickly given Canadian Red Cross supplies. Near East repat- riates, women and children, ill and well, were met in the Mediterranean with Canadian Red Cross clothing, without which they could not have proceeded to more Northern climes. Recent allotments of Canadian Red Cross supplies from England have included a shipment to a group of some hundred elderly British wo- men in Hungary, who in many cases had barely managed to weather their wartime internment there. Tells of Arnheim Mr. Veenstra referred to tI forced exodus of the remaining 90,000 of the populace of the city were compelled to drive out the of Arnheim, when the Canadains Germans, some 18 months aro; to the systematic plundering oi thau city by the Germans before they left; to his own return to the deso- lated city; and to the wonderful help given, first by the Canadiai: officers and men who had occupiea the remains, and then by the Can adian Red Cross, in the tremendous job of re-establishing civilian life in Arnheim. The Oshawa Branch has under- taken to assist the Outpost Hospital at Antikokan in Northwestern On- tario, Mr. Daniel went ox. Reports were: given on the sundry activities, in support of D. V.

When I went to take it off the zipper became extangled in my sip and tore it. Before the dress and slip could be loosened and the damage depaired, the time on the parking meter expired." The ticket was torn up by the city manager. the rehabilitation of veterans; on the application of arts and crafts towards the development of hobbies as a means of livelihood. Courses in Nutrition, in Home Nursing and in Homemaker Service as particularly applicable to new arrivals were discussed. The progress of the Mental- Health survey commenced in Sep- tember by the Ontario Mental As- sociation, with Red Cross support, in the Niagara Peninsula has been very marked. Undertaken as an experiment to see what could be ac- complished towards overall health improvement by a systematic cov- erage of schools, the preliminary re- ports on this activity are indeed promising. ; Transfusion Service Major Probably the major undertaking of the Canadien 'Red Cross at this time, however, is the nation-wide Blood Transfusion Service. Already launched in the Province of British Columbia and now under develop- ment in the other provinces with the sista of their governments, this program >predicated on the wartime Blood activity, has as its object the furnishing of blood,. of plasma and of the sterile transfu- sion equipment necessary for their handling, without charge, wherever in Canada these may be needed. The thousands of veterans who owe their lives to the wartime Blood Donor activity, their relatives and friends, will perhaps be the largest group to appreciate fully the sig- nificance of this, as will also the Medical Officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, and Nurses who so directly witnessed the astounding results. "I have assured the Canadian Red Cross," Mr. Daniel said in conclu- sion, "that when the many vital details for its handling have been worked out, and the time is ripe for its launching in Ontario, Osh- awa will stand prepared, as ever, to do her full share towards this far reaching. endeavour." Youth by Thousands : Moves to U.S. Toronto, Nov. 18--(CP) -- One of the saddest features of Canadian history is that we have lost more than 20,000 of our young men and women to the United States, Health Minister Kelley said in an address last night 'before the annual con- vention of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy, "It is not right or sensible that we should pay money to educate our young people and then have them move to the United States," the Health Minister said. He added that another 20,000 voung people are waiting permis- sion to leave Canada. C10. REJECTS REDS; WAGES BIGGEST ISSUE Atlantic City, N.J., Nov. 18 (AP)--The Congress of In- dustrial Organizations opened its eighth convention today with all eyes on the main goal --higher wages this winter. . .To clear the decks for the wage drive, the C.1.0. leader- ship has seized the "Communist issue" by the horns and 'forced all elements in the organization to subscribe to a strong anti-com- munist declaration. These subjects stood out im- Portanily on the convention agen- a: . 1. The wage drive. 2. More steam behind the southern organizing drive. 3. A more effective Political Action Committee. President Phillip" Murray today appears before an estimated 600 delegates to present the economic difficulties that lie ahead, fling a challenge to industry, and open the convention with a_ keynote address exp-.ted to emphasize {the resistance the C.I.O, is likely. to meet in the next few months. The convention also was sched- uled to apprave the Anti-Com- - munist declaration, which was endorsed unanimously by the 51 _ man executive board yesterday. The statement puts the C.I.O. on record as pledging only one national "allegiance--ta the Uni- ted States, The declaration does not end the struggle for power beiween the C.I1.O's left and right wings, nor does it expel or remove anyone from office, Evidence was overwhelming the C.I.O. unions intend to push their wage demands with vigor regardless of what a Republican controlled Congress might do in January. 3 Mr, Murray. already hac issued a 77-page report to the conven- tion in which he called for higher wages and lower prices to avoid what he terred an economic col- 'Yes, I] Am Responsible,' Tojo Says Tokyo, Nov. 18--(AP) -- Wartime Premier Hideki Tojo, has admitted responsibility for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which began the Pacific war, the International War Crimes Court was told today.

"Yes, I am responsible , . . from the standpoint of assistance to the Throne, the Cabinet is jointly re- sponsible, and, hence, other Cabinet members bear responsibility. How=- ever, I, as senior member, am the one chiefly responsible, The army chief-of-staff and navy .chief-of- staff also bear responsibility." "Did you =ot, as Premier, know of and approve the attacks which were to be made on Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong, Malaya and the Philip pines... ? "Of course. I did know about them, and approved." This Mayor's A Busy Bee Walkerton, Nov, 18 --(CP)-- The citizens of this Bruce County town --some 2,700 strong -- claim their mayor is the busiest man in Can- ada, let alone the busiest mayor in "the Dominion, To bolster their claims, they point out that Mayor Irwin Lob- singer divides his daily routine as follows: 1, He owns and operates one of the town's main garage. and auto accessory businesses. 2.
