The Secretary read the minutes of the last meet- ing, and it was moved they be adopted as read. The Treasurer gave jhe Jatest financial report, me larger ex- penses Oo De incurred lately, but the club's balance is quite satis- factory for the present. The President brought to the member's attention that the Anten- na Masts were recently erected These were erected by "Doug Hin ton's Gang" of workers, and the honorary president, N. Irwin, loan- ed his jeep to do the work. The Bowmanville Radio Shop has do- nated the necessary Antenna wire so the club's transmitter will be heard all over the world before very long. 1t will be approximately 500 watts of power. Volunteers were taken to transport the transmitting equipment and install it at the clubhouse this Wednesday. 1t was reported that the Stewart- warner Co. of Belleville has donat- ed considerable surplus radio equip=~ ment for the club's use. is ges ture s greatly apprecia by all members of the club, and an official vote of thanks to Mr. Young of Ste- wart-Warner was moved and se- conded by all present. Mr. Young was also invited to visit the club in tthe futuge, and see his donated equipment built up and in opera- tion. The President reported that 'the Canadian Marconi Co. has effered to sell the club a very accurate Fre- quency Meter-Monitor for the nom- inal sum of $25.00. Means were dis- cussed to arrange to raise this sum separate from the club's treasury, as such a price for equipment is a prime necessity to the successful operation of the club's station. Post cards were provided by the faithful secretary, Mr, Ted Brant, for the convenience df all radio club members in sending in their frequency preferences to Ottawa. This matter of Amateur frequencies is a most important one, apd all present were urged to make their wishes for frequencies strongly known. A special meeting of the club is expected in the near future to con- sider and amend and adopt a tena- tive constitution. The date of this will be announced lager.

Fear Girl Plunged In River Cornwall, Dec, 10 -- (CP) -- Citizens and police joined forces today in a search for 19.year-old Noella Borris, Cornwall, who has been nvissing from her home since seven o'clock last night. Discovery of the girl's coat on the southern end of. Roosevelt International Bridge led search- ers to fear that she had plunged into the waters of the St, Law- rence River. The coat was discovered last night by a Cornwall Island Indi- an, One of the bridge attendants recognized it as belonging to a girl who had passed the number one house, unaccompanied, a few minutes previously, A pack- age of cigarette in the coat poe- he bore the name "Noella Bor- ris." ? Members of the girl's family said she had left the house say- ing sha was going to visit a girl friend, They sald the girl had been "rather depressed," lately. #he is the daughter of Mr and Mrs, Willam Borris, of Ottawa and was living here with two sis- ters and a brother, .of All Saints Anglican Church, Parade By Army Cadets Very Popular The 11th Armoured Regt. Cadet | Corps of Oshawa took the town of Brooklin by storm Sunday might, when they paraded to the Brooklin United Church. The Brooklin Army Cadets alho made history for the girl's unit which is attached to hte Oshawa Army Cadets paraded with them. The girls were very smart in their movements and commands and were a credit to the Corps. Fine Showing Cadets from all over the district the Oshawa Corps serves were pres- ent. Hundreds of people watched the Corps as they paraded down the street behind a smartly drilled band. It was the first time that the Oshawa Unit had ever goné out of town to parade with an affiliated group but it will not be the last. The Corps has already swung into a new training programme which includes the showing of many films 60 minutes of which will be shown at the Armouries, this Wednesday along with regular drill and train. ing. The Army Cadets hope to have the largest and "best" Corps in the Dominion and have set as their aim that new boy no matter what his health or physical features may be, will be able to take part. The Army Cadets also boast that it is made up of boys of every reli- gion and nationality from Chinese to a full blooded Indian. It has al- s0 had in these ranks crippled boys, who because of their handicaps could not join other groups. The Army Cadets took these boys train- ed and graduated them as better citizens and men. Not Trained For War The Army Cadets do not serve to train boys for War, they serve no object, their aims are unlimited, they serve where needed, help when This is what your local Army Ca- dets do. They must have made a lot of friends in Brooklin on their fine showing just as they have made friends wherever they go, bringing credit not only to themselves but to Oshawa. The Army Cadet recruiting office is open every Wednesday from 7 to 10 p.m.. Remember the Army Ca- dets serve to make Oshawa a better place to live and to make better citizens, No Faltering (Continued frcm Page 1) children at Uxbridge. An hour or so before sentence was to ba carried out, curiosity seekers began gathering outside the jail yard. A numbet of youths climbed trees overlooking the wall of the jail, evidently under the im- pression that the execution was to take place outside. Their morbid curiosity was left unsatisfied, how- ever, since improvised gallows had been erected in the governor's office. In order to facilitate the hanging, a hole was cut in the floor of the office and the gallows erected there. It was noted by observers that no carpenters in Whitby or vicinity would accept the task of building the scaffold, with the result that the grisley job was done by the jail governor, J. D. G, Sutherland and the official hangman, traditionally known as Arthur Ellis. The identity of the hangman is never made known publicly. It is believed the same executioner carried out the task at Whitby as attended the exe- cution of Mr. and Mrs. Popowich, at Welland, last week. The former welder, who battered in the heads of his two victims at a lonely stretch along the Queen Elizabeth Way, a half-mile east of Ajax, Thursday, June 12, had re- peatedly expressed a desire to die. contending he could not live with- out the slain mother of six with whom he had had illicit relations. Previous to sentence of the court he had attempted to hang himself in his cell. At the last he was said by Rev. Channen to have "aroused himselt from an apathy into an almost cheerful frame of mind. The weight of his mind seemed strangely les- sened by the fact that he confessed so readily and did not attempt to escape," the rector said. Throughout his Incarceration, Bilton at no time was reported to have denied the killings. An appeal against the judgment of the court was turned down at Osgoode Hall, when his defence counsel Louis Is- sacs, was told by Chief Justice Rob- ertson that there was no evidence of provocation or excuse for what looks to me like a "very deliberate, brutal killing", Bilton, by his own admission, had strangled the woman and then dropped a 25 pound boul- Ger - her head four times, follow- 8 Ss u th a like a the child, Pp e attack on The body was claimed immediate- ly by Bilton's mother. Burial took place early this morning at the cemetery, St. John's Church, Port Whitby. Rev. A, Gordon Channen, chaplain, was the condemned man's spiritual advisor at the last. Oshawa R.R.

TWO WOMEN 101 YEARS OLD London--(AP)--Two British wo- men observed their 101st birthday today. In London, actress Helena Cresswell--who knew Disraeli and once appeared with Lily Langtry-- recited Shakespeare for friends. In Bristol, Mrs. Helena Bellow recalled that King Edward VII had greatly admired her first husband's beard-- A. E. Arscott, CBE, President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, addressing the Bank's annual shareholders' meeting in Toronto today, emphasized that not all the difficulties of this transition period had yet been solved. New problems and issues that were in the first instance considered of secondary importance now are developing to an extent that commands careful thought and study, Taking the past year as a whole the record of reconversion was a worthy one. "Canada," Mr. Arscott sald, "has so long been considered by many to be a ¢ 'untry dependent for its prosperity on the procucts of the land, be it in agriculture, forestry or mining, or of the sea, that the industrial development which took place during the war years might be overlooked." The change-over to peace-time activities involved the cancellation of war contracts of over $1,000 million, the transference of at least 1% million people from the armed forces and munition plants to civilian occupa- tions, the reconditioning of over- worked industries and the redistri- bution of available materials. Up to six months ago excellent progress had been made but then delays ensued through a series of employer. employee disputes which crippled the production of many factories and mills during the past summer. A very large volume of industrial production had been lost in that period, which might now be re- garded as the "unfinished business" of the current year and which must be undertaken anew. Civilian employment had, how- ever, reached a record peace-time level during the year, with an estimated 4% million people gain- fully occupied last spring. Exports averaged $175 million monthly, about double the pre-war value. Imports of a monthly 'average of approximately $150 million were the highest in the recent history of the country. Desire For Stability "From the maze of ideas and ideals tha. pained prominence during the war years," continued Mr, Arscott, "two stand out: the objective of a high level of employ- ment and the desire for stability. In approaching the problem of re- 'taining a high level of employment we must remember that during the war years our productive capacity and our productive possibilities in- creased many times--but mainly for war purposes. Now we have the tasks of encouraging and increasing the rate and volume of consump- tion of our products both at home and abroad, "With respect to stability, our efforts must be dir- ected to maintaining a balance between deflation and inflation Over-all policies must be designed to match consumption with maxi. mum output." By means of price and wage controls, investment of savings in Government bond issues and taxa- tion to meet the costs of war, price inflation has been moderate. How- ever, the increase in money supply brings with it ominous possibilities, the seriousness of which depends on a number of factors. If people decide to hold their cash or savings deposits and to retain Government bonds bought during the war in- stead of 'making purchases while goods are in short supply, then to that extent the threat is reduced but it will still be present until increased production at relatively stable prices brings the post-war supply of goods into balance with the present volume of money. The quantity of money available now for consumption purposes' in rela- tion to the present supply of goods emphasizes the inflationary poten. tial. The Bank's President drew at- tention to the fact that when the war-time urge of patriotism and duty subsides the continued heavy burden of taxation become notice- able and acts as a deterrent to in- vestment, to risk-taking, to saving, and also to productive activity. It must be recognized that taxes, whether they are levied on goods or services or earnings, in the end fall upon the citizens. In the indi- viduals mind the question of whether or not he is being reason- ably rewarded for his work hinges on the net amount he receives in his pay envelope. Thus the natural incentive of the worker to put forth extra effort to aghieve maximum per capita production, with higher gross earnings, tends to diminish when heavily graduated income taxes have the effect of allowing a relatively lower net return for the extra work; consequently produc- tion suffers. In like fashion very high taxes have the effect of dis- couraging venture capital necessary for the development of those assets which have a relatively high rate of depletion. The effect of continued heavy taxation on peace-time activ. ity in all spheres suggests fresh study towards revision of the whole tax structure. Also, consideration may well be given to the advisa- bility of turnover or selective sales taxes to a greater extent to allow of a modification of direct income taxes which are having a hamper- ing effect on business and produc- tion in general, Wages and Community Welfare "Wage issues," Mr. Arscott point- ed out, "cannot be segregatéd from the well-being of the community. Changes in rates of pay for cer- tain groups do little more than give these groups greater command over the available supply than those groups not included in pay in- creases. And an over-all increase, assuming the same route of pro- duction, ultimately completes the cycle with everyone back in his relative position." In conclusion Mr. Arscott called for recognition of the difficulties involved in replacng the war in- centive of "self.-preservation" with the ideals of individual freedom and liberty. "In this task," he said, "we must not lose sight of the prin- ciples of ':mocratic society, as we "magnificent it was, 18% inches { know them, in spite of the seem- High Employment And Desire For Stability To Fore Among Workers I A. E. ARSCOTT, OB.E. General Manager Canadian Bank of Commerce ingly attractive alternative pro- posals which ultimately must lead to the subjugation of the individual to the state. It is not my intention to attempt to allocate responsibility but it becomes our business--the business of everyone--when condi- tions arise which make it impossible to operate as a free people. We Canadians, and I believe I speak for all of us, understood that the recent war was fought to destroy the possibility of control over our lives by the arbitrary exercise of power. Maintenance of this ob- jective through the transition is of equal importance. Let it be remem. bered that individual freedom and democratic government were recog- nized many centuries ago as the highest yet most difficult way of life to attain." Bank Assets Are Record 8. M. Wedd, Vice-President and General Manager, presented a strong Statement of the Bank showing record assets as at 31st October of $1,441,000,000, an in- crease of $157,000,000 in the past fiscal year. Deposits by the public also increased to a& record amount of $1,233,000,000. Profits for the year were higher, and after pro- viding for increased dividends the amount carried forward to Profit and Loss Account was $601,000, about $200,000 greater thah a year previous. Mr, Wedd expressed great satisfaction at the return of many of the Bank's staff from war service and emphasized that all possible steps were being taken to see that they were not handicapped by their absence from the Bank in the war period. He also pald tri- bute {to the competence and ag- gressiveness of the Bank's staff, a splendid group of men and women. The number of the Bank's custo- mers, both borrowers and depositors, continued to show a substantial increase and now aggregated over 1,500,000. Non-Jury Assizes Open At Whitby With 44 cases scheduled for hearing, the fall session of the non-jury Assizes began in Whitby vesterday afternoon before Mr. Justice Keiller Mackay. The ma- jority of the cases are divorce actions. . After hearing the plaintiff's case, His Lordship at noon: today ad- journed an action for alimony and custody of the child, brought by Mis. Ethel Beattie, 113 Eldon Av- enue, against her husband Walter Beattie, 353 Arthur Street, until to- morrow morning in the hope that a settlement would be reached, The hearing had taken up most of yes- terday afternoon and this morning. Before court adjourned last night, His Lordship granted judgment nisi in an action for divorce brought by Mrs, Vera Topping, 378 Gibbons Street, Oshawa, against her hus- band, Gordon Raymond Topping, Crawford Street, Windsor, with Nan MaclInally as co-defendant. The plaintiff was also given custody of the flve.year-old child. R. D. Humphreys, K.C., appeared for the plaintiff, and J. P, Mangan, K.C., for the defendant. In the Beattie vs. Beattie action the plaintiff charged that her hus- band had assaulted her on five specific occasions, had called her vile names and had been constantly nagging. Evidence was that the couple had separated after an altercation last July 19, Mrs. Beattie going to her parents' home. Since that time the child had been living at the home of the defendant's sister with provision for the mother to visit the child twice a' week, In asking custody of, the child, Mrs. Beattie said she would take him to live at her parents' home where she has been residing. She said it was not her intention to take employment at the present anyway. She complained of being in a somewhat run-down condition, There was evidence that the de-| fendant had twice asked her to return and he still had the apart- | ment where they had lived on! Arthur Street. | Constables Harvey and Van Allen of the Oshawa Police Force testi- fied that they had answered a call to the Beattie house on July 19 last and found ttie with cuts on his face and a black eye. Mrs. Beattie's father and brother had also been present and there had been a com troversy over who should take the child. Dr. H. M. MacDonald testified | that he had examned Mrs. Beattie the following day and she had a swelling 'over the eye 'and other |, bruises. He added that she seemed nervous and rather run-down, Mr, and Mrs, Lorne Sandford said that they had been accus- tomed to visit the Beatties fre- quently and had heard the defendant call his wife names. Power Defect Shuts GM As the result of a transmission defect which resulted in low voltage in Hydro lines throughout the city this morning, the General Motors plant shut down at noon today at the request of the Public Utilities authorities here. George F, Shreve, manager of the P.UC. explained that difficulty arose at 7:45 this morning from a defective bearing in a 5,000 K.V.A. synchronus condenser in the No. 1 HEPC. sub-station on Court Street. Mr, Shreve explained that it was possible to carry on at a low voltage but rather than ask a number of plants to cut down on their con- sumption it was considered advis- able to ask General Motors to close completely for the afternoon. He said the bearing was being replaced this afternoon ad he hoped it would be possible for the G.M. plant to operate as usual in the morning. No trouble is reported in the local distribution system though numer- ous calls were received by the Pub- lic Utilities Commission and calls were made to electricians to exam- ine household appliances. Milk Strike Starts In N.B. Saint John. N.B., Dec. 10--(CP)-- Only 30 per cent of the regular sup- ply of milk for 'this city of 60,000 arrived today as the strike by far- mer-producer milk suppliers in the area got underway and began to take effect. T. E. Desmon, president of the Saint John District Milk Producers and Suppliers Association, said that by tomorrow there would be just enough milk for hospitals and other public institutions. The Association had set today as the deadline for an increase of 35 cents for 100 pounds of milk which would bring the price up to $3.80. It declared the increase was neéces- sary because of higher production costs, but the New Brunswick Dairy Products Commission gave notice that no increase would be allowed. Dutch Will Sign Treat, 'The Hague, Dec. 10--(Reuters)-- The Netherlands government an- nounced today that it would authe orizes the signing of the Dutch- Indonesian agreement to bring peace to the Dutch East Indies, scene of bitter fighting during the last year.

Sir Robert, now touring Cana- da, ve his criticism in a dis- pate. to the newspaper from Montreal, "I am constantly being . told that the two things Canada needs most are Welsh anthracite and 25,000,000 more people," he said. "The French-Canadian section of the population, which largely out- numbers the rest in Montreal and the Province of Quebec, is against a big increase in immigra- tion as this might rob them of the balance of power in the poli- tical world, We know at home how tiresome a minority can be if it holds the balance of power in' a weak parliament."
