Knotty Problem For Court One of the problems raised by divorce, but certainly not the greatest one, is, who gets the wedding presents? Judge D, B. Coleman had to solve this knotty problem yesterday, while sitting as Local Master, Asked His Honor, "What 1s the status of a wedding present," --when the two parties to a di- vorce are unable to agree to a di- vision of the property, as was the case in question, Both counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for the defendant tri- ed to give the presiding judge some assistance on this question, unsuccessfully apparently, be- cause the judgment gave most of the wedding presents to the plain- tiff and defendant as joint prop- erty, to be disposed of as they see fit, The property in question was household furniture, some of it wedding presents, the rest obtain- ed later. After listening to de- tailed descriptions of every plece of furniture from both the plain tiff and defendant, Judge Cole- man observed that it was a very difficult case. Whether length of friendship with the giver makes any differ- ence, he wouldn't say, and 'in his judgment gave some of the prop- erty to the plaintiff, some to the defendant and the rest he lumped as joint property, which they could either sell or divide as they willed. 'Canada's Policy For Agriculture Truly National In the November issue of the Ag- ricultural Institute Review appears an address given at the 26th annu- al meeting of the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada by Andrew Cairns, Chief of the Food Division, UNRR A, Washington, D.C. In this ad- dress he stated that "Canada has not yet evolved a Canadian agri- cultural policy worthy of the name", In the same issue of the Review, A. M, Shaw, Director, Marketing Seryice, and Chairman Agricultural Supplies Board, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, proves under the caption "No Agricultural Pol- fey?" that Canada has and agricul- tural policy, and a 3 Sood one at that, Mr. Shaw writes, in part,-- The report by Andrew "Cairns on UNR RA, given at the June Conference of the Agricultural Institute of Ca- nada, calls for no comment at this time, because UNRRA with its splendid aims, its successes and its mistakes, is now about to close its books. But when Mr. Cairns states, 88 he did during that address, that "Canada has not yet evolved a Ca- nadian agricultural policy worthy of the name", one is inclined to ask how it happened that a country without an agricultural policy was able to mesh its wartime food pro- duction with the food requirements of Britain and others of the United Nations: or how, at a time when a substantial proportion of Canadian farm workers were in the services or in war industry, Canada man- aged to increase her overall farm production by 45 per cent and to send out of the country quantifies of foodstuffs that surprised Capa- dian producers themselves, gnd caused Mr, Cairns to remark of'Ca- nada that "she is 'almost . . the world's greatest exporter 0 " farm products", "The fact 1s", sald Mr. Shaw, that Canada has in the past seven years (and probably while Mr. Cairns has been out of the country) built up a rather comprehensive, but flexible agricultural policy. This is not a paper plan worked out by one Master Planner or even by a committee of experts -- although specialists in many lines have been freely called upon for help. It is a many-sided program that has been framed, bit by bit, at thirteen full- dress 'conferences of Dominion and Provincial officials and representa- The Virgin Islands were purchas- ed by the United States from Den- | i mark in 1917, ' Now PLAYING Two Shows at 7: 00. and 9: 00; Saturday Matinee at 1:30 Ernest Fusco Weds | Dorothy Hoad St. John's Catholic Church, Whitby, was decorated with yellow 'mums for the wedding of Dorothy Hoad, daughter of Mrs, G.

"The policy thus worked out has been approved by the Government of Canada, and public funds to the amount of almost $400 million have been spent to subsidize the increas- ed production or to keep down the cost of supplies (feeds, fertilizers, etc.) required by Canadalan farm- ers, Furthermore, special provin- clal machinery has been set up to implement recommendations of the yearly production conferences, so that the policy can be said to be truly national in that it reaches in- to every part of the country." Medieval Doings In Chief's Kraal Louis Trichardt, South Africa, (OP).--~One of the major Bantu chiefs of the northern Transval- | Sibasa, who ruled over 200,000 Bavendas 50 miles from this little | town--has been deposed by the South African government, This action was the sequel to re- ports of strange happenings in the chief's kraal, including the run- ning of a "night club." In deposing Sibasa, Major D. G. artman, chief native commis- sioner for the northern areas, de- clared: ? "The government does not act hastily and is slow to move, but it will not tolerate the oppression of the people by a chief and it has now decided that you must give way to someone who will rule his people by law and not by violence." Strange happenings had been re- ported from Sibasa's kraal. After reports of "a sort of tropical cone tinental night club," and of "medie- biog rights," the government stepped "rhe Native Affairs De ent took the drastic action Department Sibasa only after careful examina- tion of the reports that those who did not comply with Slbasa's wishes had been "severely dealt with" by the chief.

Skate Swap Shop to Operate Here For Next Two Weeks A boon to parents, and to their children, too, will be the new "skate exchange", which is going to operate in Whitby next week. It is the idea of the Director of Recrea- tion, Gordon H. McMahon, and the Whitby Minor Athletic Association are co-operating in its operation. A "skate exchange" is a swap shop where youngsters can bring in the skates that they have out- grown, put them up for exchange, and try and get a good fit from the other skates being exchanged. Most parents already know enough about the problems of out- grown clothes and skates, as do most of the younger children in a family, so they will appreciate the advantages of this plan. Next Wednesday This exchange shop will be held in two sections, on the next two Wednesdays, according to present plans, Next Wednesday afternoon, between the hours of 3 and 5 pm, those who have skates they wish to exchange will bring them to the Council Chambers in the Town Hall, where they will be marked with the owner's name and the val- ue of the skates. To allow time for the organiza- tion of all the skates into sizes, etc., the fitting day will not be held un- til the following Wednesday at the same hours. Then youngsters are invited to come back to the Council Ohambers and find skates to suit them. If there is any difference in the value of the skates turned in and those chosen, the would-be hoc- key players will have to pay the dif- ference, but this sho be only a small amount compared with the cost of a pair of skates themselves. The organizers hope that in this way, more young Whitbyites will be able to play hockey at smaller cost and with better fitting skates on the ice, that can't be very long in coming.

A group of some 30 men, some of who have been with this choir for over 20 years, the Lyric Male Choir under the direction of Frederic G. Thomas, showed excellent training and amazing power in the selec- tions presented. Three assisting artists helped to provide a varied program, all of them choosing Scottish songs for their offerings. Bicycle Pump Flute Probably the most interesting and surprising of these solo.sts was J. Pritchard, who proved capable of drawing a better brand of music from a simple bicycle pump than most of us are capable of doing playing the radio. The tone of a bicycle pump, played like a combi- nation flute and trombone, is simi- lar to that of an ocharina, or sweet potato, high and quiet sharp, but Pp! g. To show his versatility, Mr. Prit- chard also played two solos on the musical saw, an instrument which to the present we have always identified with Marlene Dietrich. The choir's was varied, and the voices melodious. Most of the songs presented were familiar, but the ents renewed their beauty. Sullivan's "The Lost Chord, in the first group, is a marvellous showcase for a choir's power and musicianship, and Mr. Thomas' leadership was apparent here as in the other parts of the concert, The Scottish melodies included the Border Ballad, "Ye Banks and Braes," "Scots Who Hae" and "Road to the Isles," which, by in- sistent demand, was sung twice, Two Soloists The two soloists were Mrs. John A, Newstead, soprano, and William Black, baritone,. and their songs were appreclatively received, Mr, Black also gave a humorous poem connected with the rites of haggis, which the audience enjoyed. J. W. Elliott acted as chairman for the program, and expressed the hopes of the congregation that the pastor, Rev. David Marshall, would soon be well again, The concert was given under the auspices of the St. Andrew's Ladies' Aid, and the members served re- freshments for the choir after the program was completed. The sing- ers showed their appreciation for Because this by presen two numbers especially for the ladies.
