Port Perry, Nov. 23--With good reason Miss E. Audry Kent (indeed, the whole Ként family) were proud of the success gained by the exhibit of Angora Rabbits. Thirty-five animals were shown; and, as will be seen by the list of prizes herewith, they "swept the boards." Tuesday, fire was discovered in the rabbitry in which 200 Angoras were housed; but it had gained such headway: that nothing cduld be done to save the group of buildings, ~ which were soon a mass of flames. Fortunately the prize winners were still in Toronto. ~The town fire truck which is equipped for regular water supply, was powerless in trying to operate from the lake, not having the long lipe of hose required. Even had it drawn water from that source, it is likely that the machine would soon have been plugged with weeds and 'mud.' . We are thankful that the lovely Kent home was not destroyed. was in imminent danger; but work of the fire brigade desgrves real praise. Nothing but thg'con- tinued work of the bucket ¥rigade under terrific heat, could have sav- ed the house, But the prize animals { are safe, too, thank goodness.

St. Andrew's United Church Saturday, Nov. 23, 7:30 p.m. Share Home 11 Years, Don't Talk The story of a husband and wife sharing the same apartment for 11 years and not speaking to each other during that time was a mat- ter of court record today. It began in 1934, said Charles W. Whitney, vice president of the Pet- rol Corporation, in petitioning the State Superior Court to set aside a $175-a-monh support order placed on him last May by a lower court. At that time, he said in his peti- tion, a woman and her "young daughter came to live in the Whit- ney apartment at the invitation of his wife, Florence, Whitney contended the two came into his household despite his ob- Jections, He further claimed that while the pair were in his home, his wife refused to accompany him to social functions which he regard- ed as important to his business con- nections. The pair remained until Febru- ary of 1945, he continued, and left only after an argument between the woman and 'Mrs. Whitney. Both Whitney and his wife agreed that during those 11 years they communicated with each other only by leaving notés and through their 23-year-old daughter. Mrs. Whitney said they ate meals together at home but did not speak. 'The 52-year-old woman said she left the family home last Febru- ary to\ enter a hispilgl for treat- ment and did not re because her husband ignored her, In his petition, Whitney said she left home without cause, adding that he was voluntarily giving her $60 a month subsistence pending outcome of the appeal, which the court took under advisement. 7 5 A | Two-Piano Team Here Monday The devotion of American music lovers to the internationally famous duo-pianists, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson #s a tribute to the im- peccable musicianship and delightful personalities of the two artists who will appear here Monday night in the second of the Oshawa Community Concert Series. The first two English artists to play works for two pianos, they have toured Europe, the United States, South America, Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Cuba, meeting with enthusiastic praise every- where. At the last London Music Festival before the war, they had the honor of »:vnearing under the baton of Toscanini. Great Alarm Expressed Over Canada-American Child Adoption Practice Ottawa, Nov. 23 (CP)--Canadian and United States welfare authorities soon will take steps to limit the number of Canadian children being placed in American foster homes, Nora Lea, assistant executive director of the Canadian Wel- fare Council, told The Canadian Press Today. Dec involved in trans-border adoptions, Miss Lea said Canadian institutions were violating American adoption practices in placing children from this country in U.S. homes, The practice in "certain" prov- of allowing: Americans to adopt Canadian children "is frown- ed upon on both sides of the line." It had created a situation that was not coatributing to good interna- tional relations. While there has never been any objection to children here being adopted by blood relatives in the United States, or even by close family friends there, at the same time Americans have many of their own children for whom they must find homes, she said. They feel so many Canadian children being put with American foster parents are taking places which rightfully be- long to their own young. When for one reason or another a Canadian child is to be placed in the U.S, she said, due considera- tion should be given not only to the welfare of the child but also to the legal and administrative procedures in existence in the place where it is proposed to take the child. US. requirements with respect to immigration and naturalization should be observed, for a Canadian child doesn't automatically become a citizen of the U.S. merely through adoption. For the adoptive parents to have the child naturalized, adop- tion must take place in the US. before 16 years of age and the child be adopted must have been in the legal custody of the adoptive par- ents for at least two years prior to the filing of the petition for the child's naturalization. Quads Due, 'Pleasantly Reconciled' Baltimore, Nov. 23.--tAP)-- Mrs. Charles Henn, Jr, British war bride, is "pleasantly reconciled" to- 4ny to the idea of having quadrup- ets. 'The expectant mother, taken to St. Agnes Hospital Wednesday to await the arrival of a foursome, smilingly described a new set of X- rays which "all told the same story --quads; so I'm reconciled, pleas- antly reconciled." The family's financial cloud, too, has begun to show a silver lining. 'The hospital is furnishing its fa- cilities free, and the physician at- tending Mrs, Henn is donating his services. The Red Cross promises four complete layettes "with feather and drop stitches," and local dair- les are contending for the privilege of supplying milk. To cap it all, her husband, a par- tially disabled veteran, told her the shrapnel wounds in his leg have healed enough to allow him to go back to his old trade, bookbinding. The quads are expected in time for Christmas. PREVENT BABY RASH Help prevent irritations, keep baby's skin healthier. Buy this highly advised, medi- cated oil today! Economical. Big value!

Wil- liam Dray, O.B.E. has announced. The 700 representatives of the branch served in every combat zone and from coast to coast in Cana- da. Services provided included- ed meals, snacks, canteen operation, moving pictures, lectures, sports ac- tivities, weligious services, recrea- tion huts and halls, entertain- ments,, personal advice and hostels. Col. .Dray was awarded the Order of the British Empire for his work with war services, Albert College Group Conducting Raglan Service L, M. LUKE Correspondent Raglan, Nov. 22--A group of stu- dents from Albert College, Belle- ville, will be at our church on Sun- day at 1 o'clock. As these young men and women are training to be ministers and deacOnesses, we are looking forward to a very interest- ing and helpful service and hope that as many as possible will at- tend, ; Next Sunday, December 1, the cir- cuit will unite in a sacrament ser- vice to be held here at Raglan at 3 p. m. Rev. Mr. Gardner of Colum-| bus will conduct the service, Mrs. J. Latimer attended Royal Winter Fair last Friday. "We are glad to report that Mrs. Geo, Stacey who is in Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital is recovering quite sa- tisfactorily. Also Marian Davidson who was hit by a car on the road in front of her home, is getting about again. Port Perry Tax Arrears Cut Port Perry, Nov. 21--At a recent meeting of the Council, late cler- treasurer Hutcheson presented a re- port on Tax Arrears in which he showed that arrears, which amount- ed to about $6,000 at the time he took office in 1942, have now been reduced to $553, all of which are 1945 and 1944, with the exception of some older business tax arrears which later, in his opinion, were uncollectabe and should be written off to Bed Debts Account at the next court of revision, If this is done and certain defin- ite promises of payment are im- plemented, the amount outstanding al end of year would probably be only $300, perhaps less. Clerk-Treasurer Raines reported splendid payment of the 1946 tax- the | es. The remainder to delinquents now being sent out would likely re- duce tha current roll outstanding at end of year to a record low. Oshawans Attend Academy Exhibit Mrs. Ewart McLaughlin and Mr. 'and Mrs. Eric McVeity attended the opening of the 67th annual exhibi- tion of the Royal Canadian Aca- demy by his Excellency the Gover- nor-General at the Art Gallery in Toronto last night. & Following the tradition observed by every previous Governor-General upon his first visit to the gallery, his Excellency responded to the toast to the King. The original port glasses belonging to the first gover- nor of Upper Canada, Colonel John Graves Simcoe, together with the crystal fingerbowl, are always used for this ceremony, and have been since the first visit of Lord Lans- downe to Grange House in 1887. LIVESTOCK LOST IN FIRE " Beaverton, Nov. 22--Several head of cattle, pigs and poultry perished tonight when fire destroyed the barn on Ernie Doiby's farm at Grambridge, four miles north of here. Local firemen answered the call, but were powerless to quench the flames. Mr. Doiby was putting down hay in the barn by the light of a lantern and the lantern upset, it was said. ! W. J. Green, Gideons' Sec'y 'Dies Will J. Green, general secretary _| of the Canadian Gideons, died here yesterday. Acting as secretary since 1924, Mr. Green played a large part in the association's rapid growth and in- creased activities which now cover the distribution of the Scriptures in hotels, hospitals, penal institutions, schools, and the armed forces. When he joined the Gideons theré. Bible placements amounted to 2,000 per year, as against 20,000 Bibles and 11,000 Testaments placed during 1945. Born in Dresden, Mr, Green taught school for five years before engaging in YMCA work. For 27 years he seryed the "Y" in various 'capacities in Toronto, Buffalo, Brandon, Montreal and Edmonton, and overseas during the First Great War. He travelled from coast to coast many times in Gideon work and numbered a host of friends among educational and institutional executives, business and profession- al men, members of parliament and cabinet ministers, and the clergy. An outstanding speaker, he was welcomed in pulpits and by service clubs throughout the country. He is survived by his widow, Laura Shildrick Green, and a son, William, both of Toronto. A daugh- ter, Georgina (Mrs. 8. Gibson), pre- deceased her father. Two sisters and four brothers, residents of Florida, also survive. Maintains Bird Act Ultra Vires Sarnia, Nov. 22 (CP)--Ross W. Gray, Sarnia lawyer, yesterday argued ih Magistrate's Court that the federal government's Migratory Birds Conservation 'Act is ultra vir- es in Ontario. The provinces, by its own game and fisheries act, had drawn up regulations controlling the hunting and shooting of game, he said. He added that the federal act, passed this year, was "an attempt to ratify a convention entered into between Great Britain and the Unitéd States in 1917 to which at that time Canada was not a party." Mr. Gray appeared as defence counsel for Dr. L. G. Hagmeier, of nearby Bosanquet, Dr, James Pe- tersen of Stratford, Ont., and Glen Van Valkenberg of Forest, charged by Royal Canadian Mounted Police with hunting and killing ducks in an area where the birds had mat- ed during the preceding 12 months and with killing birds during hours forbidden by the act.

Warns A-War Means Canadian Civilian End Ottawa, Nov. 28 (CP)--Canada's future in the world of the atom began to emerge today, and the one firm pros- pect appeared to be wholesale death for Canadian civilians in any new war, From the top research expert of the armed foices-came King's Is Presented To Scout Don Jackson The 7th Oshawa (St. George's) Boy Scout Troop held its annual Parent's night, with many parents in atten nce. As is usual, the Scouts were on their very best, and put on an excellent display of scouting for their parents. Nor did the parents merely act as spectators for the whole evening, for the fathers were conscripted intog the general activities of the evening, | and were compelled to compete against each other in a relay. The meeting opened with flag- break, roll-call, prayers and inspec- tion. Then, with the opening cere- monies dispensed with the program got off to a real start with a game called 'Move the Penny'. Needless to say, this game was enjoyed equally by the competing Scouts and their cheering parents oa the sidelines, At 8 p.m. the parents had a chance to see just what the boys learn at their meetings. A display of scouting activities was presented, which featured the Buffalo Patrol doing lashings, the Fox Patrol do- ing first aid, and the Eagle Patrol, with their eyes blindfolded, again doing some of the difficult phases of first aid. Instructed in Knots Now the fathers were conscripted into Patrols along with their boys, and were instructed in knots. They sat with their boys, and vainly strove to learn the knots that theri sons were attempting to teach them, Then, when Scoutmaster Dunk thought that they had had time enough, the fathers participat- a knot relay. Poor fathers! At last, when the fathers had tied the last painful knot, the Scouts felt it was time to show their par- ents something of knotting. With the fathers forming a really ap- preciative audience, the Lynx Pa- trol went through their paces. Fol- lowing this fine display of knotting prowess, Scout rge MacGregor presented a very cial demonstra- Que. Starts 'Witnesses' Prosecution Quebec, Nov. 23-- (CP) -- Premier Duplessis' announced plan to bring Witnesses of Jehovah into court on conspiracy charges has had its first result with the arrest of four of the sect members. in Sherbrooke . on charges of distributing pamphlets of a seditious nature. They were later released on bail. . was learned authoritati that conspiracy charges are being directed specifically at. members of the sect distributing a pamphlet entitled "The Burning Hate of Que- bec" (La Haine Ardente du Que- bec), which is considered by the Attorney-General's department to be a seditious publication. In Toronto, the Watch» Tower Bible and Tract Soclety said dis tribution of the pamphlet began Nov. 15 on a nationwide scale and the first English language printing comprised 1,000,000 copies. It added the publication is being delivered house to house by "personal visits of Jehovah's Witnesses." In Recorder's Court here yestere day four members of the sect were sentenced by Recorder Jean Mercier to maximum fines for disturbing the peace and illegally distributing pamphlets, tion of knotting. This was received with great acclamati pecially from the fathers, The next major item on the pro- gram was signalling, and in this the Bulldog Patrol seem especially expert, for they put on a really pro- ficient display. King's Scout Badge After clean-up a more serious part of the program was enacter. It was the presenting of the King's Scout Badge to Scout Don Jackson. To all not so familiar to Scouting the King's Scout Badge is just an- other proficiency badge. But that is a false impression. The King's Scout Badge is a badge given for |. proficiency in four bsidges, of which two are compulsory. The King's Scout Badge is the culmination of the boy's Scouting career, and is usually the stepping stone to higher Scouting. It denotes proficiency in many aspects of life, not the least of these being good citizenship. I am sure that Scouting all over Osh- awa conveys their good wishes to King's Scout Don Jackson, Also at the camp-fire, the seldom- seen Canoeman's Badge was pre- sented to Richard Ferrier. Good work, Richard! By 9:20 the evening had speedily come to a close. Flag-lowering was observed and the parents, wiser by their mew experience In Scouting, departed with their sons to their respective homes. FLOWERS BY RAIL In recent years Canadian Pacific Express has carried about 100,000 pounds of spring flowers from Byi- tish Columbia to towns and cities acrss Canada. On the Road There is a.large army of outdoor men who have learned to depend on Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Rid ing on trains or trucks causes a jarring which is hard on the kidneys a1 is also the exposure to all kinds of wind and weather, This medicine goes to stimulate the action of the kidneys and relieve the backaches which so often result. For over half a century they have been popular with railway 'men, truckers and farmers. HHO ER KidneyLiver Pills the bombs will destroy Canadian cities and kill non-combatant Canadians by the thousands if war comes. Simultaneously, officials disclosed some operations of Canada's Atomic Energy Control Board, which under Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton is work- ing mot only to control but to devel- op the mighty atom for purposes of both war and peace. The prediction of the atom's de- structive potential for the Dominion came from Dr. O. M. Solandt of Toronto, director-general of defence research for. the armed forces. Be- fore the Defence Medical Associa- tion of Canada here, he said yes- terday that the only defence against the atom is the outlawing of war. But if war should come, he de- clared, "we must face the fact that ..» we will be bombed and people killed." There would be "terrific destruction." " If a bomb such as hit Hiroshima were dropped on a big Canadian city, said Dr. Solandt, 50,000 people would be killed in the attack. An- grim warning that atomic® other 50,000 would need prolonged treatment. Many more would re- quire first aid. This same city would lose 3,000 houses outright. About 35,000 would need extensive repairs. Another 40,000 to 50,000 would be uninhabi- table for a short time. In the dead of a Canadian winter, the director-general said, the effect of such an attack could well be im- agined. Even the unborn would suffer, for Dr. Solandt sald in Hiroshima all pregnant women within 3,300 feet of the bomb blast had miscarriages; no children born to pregnant women within a mile survived, men in the area developed sterility: In a week, the Board is to take over the atomic energy pilot plant at Chalk River, Ont. Later, it is to assume control of the Crown-owned Eldorado Mining and Refining Com- pany in the Northwest Territory, one of the world's great sources of uranium.
