Packing of apples is general and shipments by rail are lighter than usual with the truck move- ment quite heavy to the eastern part of the district, A shipment of Snows is being prepared for ex- port at the Picton cold storage. The potato crop is now all har- vested with the yleld larger than anticipated and mostly of good size, Bacterial ring rot is quite prevalent in some fields and these are being disposed of as quickly as possible at reduced prices. The processing plant at Brigh- ton is reported hard at work ma- king apple juice and apple ple filler. The dehydration plant at Belleville is being rebuilt as ra- pidly as possible, Several consign. ments of canned goods have been shipped to Newfoundland recent- ly. Conversion ($200,000,000; 20 Years Estimate For 60 Cycle Hydro Toronto, Nov. 20 (CP)--Inauguration of a 60-cycle frequency in the Niagara district to replace the existing 25 cycles. would be practical from a technical viewpoint and would involve an expenditure of approximately $200,000,000 covering a period of 20 years. This is the opinion expressed by#® The Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion of Ontario #h an interim re- port submitted yesterday to the On- tario Municipal Electric Association executive: The change would not materially increase wholesale rates for power, nor would it entail any increase in retail consumer rates, the report submits. The estimate of the expen- diture takes into account the con- version of existing equipment op- erated by several classifications of consumers and would be effected without any cost to the domestic, rural and commercial customers with equitable adjustment for in- dustry. To keep changeover costs to a minimum the Commission said it would require a speci eering organizatoin, includ fleld and shop crews, which would make con- versions in predetermined areas with despatch and at a minimum cost, With such an organization it would be possible to salvage the maximum of material and equip- ment and reduce to a minimum the inconvenience to consumers. The Southern Ontario or Niagara district runs west from Pickering, which is 20 miles east of Toronto, to Windsor and morth from Lake Erie to an irregular line stretching from Lake Simcoe to Lake Huron, just above Palmerston and God- erich, Sixty cycles has become the standard frequency in Canada and the United States. The report emphasized that cost i| Bloody Ontario Feud ¢| Claimed Still Still Burning London, Ont, Nov. 20--(CP)-- There's still some spark in embers of an ancient feuding fury that brought six dedths among the Don- nellys and the Farrells and made the nearby village of Lucen a place of terror in the 1870s. That became apparent here when the feud story was recalled at a London and Middlesex Historical Soclety meeting an tales of alleged Donnelly atrocities sent one man stalking angrily into the night. He was not identified by name. But others who went to last night's meeting a dozen strong from Lucan and Biddulph Township said he was a friend of the Donnellys. He openly disputed stories the Donnel- lys, originally from Tipperary, Ire- land had ever cut out the tongues of harses. "The Donnelly's might cut the tonques of people," he declarég. But another resident of Biddulph Township, the son of one of the men accused but found not guilty of the mass Donnelly killings on the night of Feb. 4, 1889, said: "That man knows the Donnellys cut the tongues of horses. He just won't admit the stories are true." The Dotinelly murders, outgrowth | of feuds which sent five of their family members to the grave and brought the death of one Farrell, not ww mention considerable injury to the Flannigans, were the subject of a paper given by Miss Alice Mc- Farlane of London, It was a story that might do cre- | dit to the Hatfields and McCoys in | the Kentucky Hills, the story of {James and Johannah Donnelly "squatting" on land and eventually | feuding over it with their neighbor Farrell. Finally Donnelly ended the feud with a fatal blow given Farrell and the man from Tipperary went to jail for seven years as a result. His family, James, William, Pat- trick, Michael, John, Thomas, Ro- bert and Jennie grew up while he was in jail and things were peace- able until the Donnellys got into | stage coach competition with the | Plannigans. Then there. were coach- burnings barn-burnings, maiming of animals, shootings and thefts. Finally a committee of vigilantes was formed of residents. Members of this committee eventually were charged with the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly, Sr, and their sons, John and Thomas and a nice, Bridget Donnelly. The Donnellys died under blows from axes or spa=- des or from flames that destroyed their house. Then a group of men visited the home of another son and there shot John when he answered the door. Two trials followed but each time the jury brought in a "not gullty" decision. : Dr. John Dearness of London, in- spector of schools at Lucan at the tinje of the murders, told the meet- ing' that he believed the juries felt that "half the town of Lucan was guilty" and if one man was found guilty the 'charges would go on to involve a great many. 'Ary a classitied advertisement for quick results! of effecting a changeover would increase if postponed too long. While the report does not detail a complete plan for conversion, it in- dicates the initial steps. Commenting on the proposed changeover, Gordon Mathews, of Peterborough, past president of the Ontario Municipal Electrical Asso- ciation, sald the plan would have "all of Ontario behind it." "The commission," it was said, "proposes to pay for it out of its reserves on the condition that the municipalities assume a status quo on rates and walve any potential reductions." Conversion To Peace Progressing Granby, Que, -- (CP)-- Trans port Minister Cheverier sald last night that reconversion of Cana- dian industry from war to peace now is three-quarters completed and more than 1,000,000 former members of the forces and war workers have been absorbed into peacetime positions. In a speech prepared for deliv- ery before the Granby Chamber of Commerce, Mr, Chevrler said the government by means of reduction in excess profits and income tax and special depreciation allowance had assisted private industry "con- siderably." "Since Canada's economy is bas- ed chiefly on private enterprise it is felt that government assistance should be provided to industry," he sald, Special depreciation allowances op to Oct. 1 amounted to $400,000,- Canada now was third among the industrial nations of the world and had 1,000,000 more people gainfully empoyed than in 1939." There were now more jobs aval® able than persons to fill them, he sald. Last month there were 138, 608 jobs available and 135989 per- sons seeking employment, "This figure of unplaced persons is well below normal unemployment in times of relatively high levels of employment," said Mr. Chevrier, "Even during the peak period of the war there were at times as many as 50,000 or'more people unemployed. Mr. Chevrier said he deplored the fact that Christian Democracies were doing so little to defend their Democratic ideals against attacks from all sides. ASK PROBE OF JUSTICE IN WINDSOR Windsor, Ont., nt, Nov. 20 ) -- Windsor city council, with only one dissenting vote has asked Attorney- General Leslie Blackwell of Ontario to conduct an inquiry into its ad- ministration of justice. A resolution je nis soy wus passed at last night's council meet- ing with only Alderman Albert Long dissenting. It came just before adjournment, and without prior notice, from Al- derman Thomas F. Brannagan and brought from Controller Gordon B. Ellis an attack on the administra- tion of justice throughout Ontario with criticism of the "appointment of magistrates by processes of poli- tical patronage." "We know it has taken place in Windsor City Court," he declared. Only last week the Windsor Police Commission considered charges by Aldermen J. Al, Kennedy and Al- derman Ernest Davenport having to do with administration of justice in Windsor and Mayor Arthur J. Reaume said then the matter would be taken up by the Commission and council after the municipal election- at the end of the year. Last night's resolution from Ald. Brannagan came as a surprise, He based it on a recital of facts surrounding acquittal of a promin- ent citizen on a charge of drunken driving after evidence had been given by four constables and a desk sergeant that the accused was drunk, He did not 'name the "prominent citizen." Ald. Davenport expressed 'grave concern" after the resolution had been put forward--"I'd like to say if I was gravely concerned before, I'm much more gravely concerned now." He based his concern on what he sald was failure on the Court to ac- cept evidence of four police officers given on oath, Houses Sell ~ Quickly in Oshawa And District A recent check check up showed that one of the "turn-overs" in real estate was extremely interesting. A house was or. dered to be advertised in The Times-Gazette's classified page for three insertions, but after the two insertions had appeared instructions were received to please cancel the third insertion, as the house was sold after the first in- sertion . . . it certainly pays to use The Times-Gazette's advertising columns . , . this case can be multiplied many times. Say Vancouver Water Unfit Vancouver, Nov, 20--(CP)---Van- couver's water supply, piped from cool mountain streams, is back in the news today with notification of Canadian Public Carriers by the federal Department of Health and welfare that it is "unfit for human consumption." Mayor J. W. Cornett disagrees and says the verdict of three experts is that Vancouver has the pest water on the continent But the public health services of Canada and the United States say the oppo- site. The Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways compan=- ies and the Shipping Federation of Canada have been notified by Ot- tawa that the city's unchlorinated Fula) is "unfit for human consump- on," Jap War Trials Stretch To '47 Tokyo, Nov, 20--(AP)--The Unit- ed States prosecution abandoned hopes today of completing the war crimes case against Tideki Tojo and 26 other Japanese leaders by early December, The United Kingdom and the Philippines, it was reported reliably, insisted at a recent series of conferences that the full story of wartime atrocities.be told, carry- ing the prosecution into 1947. To Head French : EDOUARD HERRIOT 74, who has been in French politics since 1912, and for many years the leader of the radical Socialists, may become the mnext president of France, according to informed ob- servers in Paris. Since the Com- munists emerged from the recent elections as the strongest party, Herriot appears as the most accept- le candidate to head up a coali- tion government, . Alps Holds 7 Air Wreck Survivors Frankfurt, Germany, Nov. 20 -- (AP) -- Two United States bomber pilots spotted the wreckage of an American Army transport plane on a 12,000-foot-high. plateau in the southern French 'Alps today as French Alpine troops struggled up the steep slopes to ald the seven passengers, including four women and a girl, and four crew members, A C-47 transport plane was re- ported en route from Turin, Italy, with food, blankets and medical supplies as the two bombers circled the wreckage of the C-53--which crash-landed yesterday -- to guide rescue parties. Reports from Vienna said five persons aboard the downed craft were hurt, but that there were no fatalities, There was no informa- tion as to who was injured or how badly. Passengers of the C-53 included a United States Brigadier General and his wife and the wives of two other Brigadier Generals, one of whom was the mother of the pilot, Capt. Ralph H. Tate, Jr, Rev. H.

R, Philp, K, C, to charges of driving a motor vehicle exceeding the maximum length al- lowed by the Highway Traffic Act, Charges were laid against House and Bougie following an accident Friday, November 8 on Highway 28 near the Springville garage when Ross N. Carr, Bethany, was in colli- sion with an unloaded car carrier parked in the garage driveway, Investigation of the accident re- vealed that the car carrier was hauled by two tractors. Prior to the accident the detached tractor con- nected to the trailer-carrier had broken down, and a field artillery tractor was hooked to the disabled machine and the three-piece cara- van continued along the highway until it stopped at Springville to check lights, House was driving the leading tractor, and Bougie steered the dis- abled machine connected with the carrier. The over all length of the three machines was 72 feet, exceed- jue the maximum permitted by 20 feet. Atlantic Record To 'America' Cobh, Eire, Nov, 20--(CP) -- The 8.8. America, flagship of the United States lines, dropped a=uchor in obh-Cork Harbor last night after setting a record of four days, 22 hours and 22 minutes for an east- ward Atlantic crossing by an Am- erican vessel. The American aver- aged 24.54 knots during its first commercial passage, 'Cocktail' Plebiscite Deemed Wise Course Toronto, Nov. 20--(CP)--Opinion appeared growing behind the move started by Toronto's Board of Con- trol to hold a referendum in the province's "Big Five" cities -- Tor- onto, Hamilton Ottawa, London and Windsor--on proposed estab- lishment of cocktail bars. Toronto Board of Control approv- ed a motion calling upon the pro- vincial government to amend exist- ing liquor - licensing = legislation which excluded the so-called "Big Five" from holding referendums on the question, But in Toronto Controller McKel- ler said he would submit another resolution today to submit the question to a vote of the electorate Jan, 1 anyway, He said he realized the submission would have no legal status but it "will at least give the citizens a chance to speak on the question and offer guidance for the provincial government." Similar sentiment appeared de- veloping in Windsor where the ques- tion is to be considered further to- day. Mayor Reaume sald: "The cost of the plebiscite for Windsor would be $5,500. guess, because we can't go far wong if we leave the matter in the hands of the people. If they want cocktail lounges, they'll vote for it." Quebec Plywood Maids Three little plywood maids are we.

Mr. Adams, a former member of The New York Stock Exchange who won the Pulitzer Prize for American history in 1922, made the prediction at the annual meeting of the. .Am- erican Academy of Arts and Let- ters. "In this world war we have destroyed more capital goods than ever before in the history of the world and the crash will be corres- pondingly great," he said. It would be worth it, I| that the provincial governmeént be asked to amend the Act so a plebis- cite could be held. It was approved with one dissenting voice. Soon afterwards city solicitor Wallace Angus admitted such a plebiscite, prior to government ace tion on the legislation, would have no legal effect on the provincial government, Controller Smith opposed any suggestion of a plebiscite prior to amendment of the legislation and in this he had an echo in Windsor. Controller Brophey told Windsor council: "I would not like to see a referendum on cocktail bars sub- mitted to the people to distract their attention from municipal is- ues at the election here in Decem- rn" From Windsor's Controller Arthur L. Mason came another reaction: "I feel the people should have a right to express their views anyway. Toronto should not have tried to shove cocktail bars down our throats without first asking us about it." the troops overseas on the battles fronts of Europe, he said, that he cAme to the conclusion that "men think more about God than they are willing to admit." Once the "men realized that compulsion was cast out, they wanted to go to church services." This, he declared, was one of the "grumbles" which he as an army chaplain had had-- "that no army should force its men to go to.church." As soon as his Qnit got away from the brass hats in England and into Italy," he adde ed, "we held volunteer services." Speaking on the topic "The Cane adian Chaplain," Mr. Cleverdon, who spent some {five years as a chaplain with the Canadian Army, sald the chaplain's job was not ale ways a happy one, "The major job was to see that the men in the regi ment were happy" and this involved helping out with the many personal problents which loomed very large in England where a large group of soldiers were constantly thrown toe gether, The chaplains were supposed to "represent the spiritua] and moral values for which these men were fighting," he contended, and this was often hard since many come manding officers felt no greatiine terest in the work of the chaplain. However, once the test of battle had been given, they often found that the work of these men helped to maintain that contentment of mind necessary for good fighters, " Domestic Problems Besides the boy-girl problems, the chaplains had to deal with domes tic and social problems during the years in England, but he stated that many homes had been prevented from breaking up because of the work of the chaplain service, He spoke of the sobering effect which the first heavy blow to his unit had. Thinking themselves ime pregnable, they began to realize that war was war, Then it was that the real work of the chaplain began, Besides the graveside services, there was the grim job of searching the dead for identification and mapping their burial place. "Be« cause this job was done well by most chaplains," Mr, Cleverdon said, "there are very few unknown soldiers' graves in this war as come pared with the last." Mental Injuries There was also the important job of talking to the men in hospitals, "settling their minds--minds that were injured" Mental injuries were as bad as physical and the chaplain had much to do to help in this. But, he sald, there were good times in army life, both in and out of the lines. "I cannot speak too highly of the Auxiliary Services during 'the war" He told of a montir of entertainment which he and an Auxiliary Services man planned together which included trips to the fine historical sights of Rome, Mr, Cleverdon was introduced by Bill Gibbie who traced the guest speaker's career since his start as an accountant in England, Earlier in the proceedings, Mayor Frank N, McCallum introduced a guest from London, James R. Millman, who was president of the Chatham Ki« wanis Club at one time and is now celebrating his 25th year in the ore ganization, Mr, Millman put on a scintillating display of piano play= ing for the members as he rendered his versions of "The Bells of St. Mary's" and "Roll Out the Barrel." ary a classiried advertisement for quick results!
