TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Increasing Problems Facing Municipalities Are Cited é nA Capacity Audience At Fine Concert Motor City Choir Balance, restraint and an engaging warmth were key- notes of the Motor City Choir Concert, held last night at Simcoe Street United Church . The fifty-voice choir was under the talented direction of Reginald G. Geen, A. T.C.M., with Ronald Stewart of Toronto as assisting artist. Under Mr. Geen the choir has® learned to avoid the pitfalls of slipshod attack and uneven <n- semble work. Whether ied by organist Kelvin James, AT.CM. RMT. or unaccompanied, the choir was able to transmit theme and mood »f each selection to a capacity audience. Showed Excellent Form Ronald Stewart, young tenor artist, was particularly effective in his second group of songs, whose themes seemed to alternate between the sorrows of parting and the joy of a perfect love. ' Mr. Stewart, who is a comparative newcomer to the concert field, showed excellent form, especially in "My Lady Walks in Loveliness," by Charles; "The World is Mine," by Posford, and "Rudolfo's Narrative," from the first act of "La Boheme," by Puccini. Mr. Geen provided tastefully in- obtrusive accompaniment for Mr. Stewart. His delicate work was evident only as a blending element. Total proceeds of the collection will be sent to the Toronto Tele- gram's Christmas Cheer Fund for British war victims. Rising to the demands of Caesar Franck's majestic treatment of the 150th Psalm, the choir sent its pre- lude hallelujahs and its unison passages soaring out into the church. In an equally moving num- ber, entitled "One World," and written by a Canadian, Jeffrey O'Hara, the choir did not allow the intensity of feeling to upset their balanced tone. Wth its resplendent "rainbow" ending, this is the kind of number, which a choir can in- form with power and meaning, Attractive Setting Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was given an unusually attractive setting by the choir. This ballad, which could be considered a prototype for many later Hit Parade favorite, sounded more pleasing than any Sinatra or Perry Como version. Kern's wonderful melody, so much fuller than most of the current crop, can be treated amazingly well by a choir, Other selections sung by Mr. Stewart were: "To Music," by Schu- bert; "Sound an Alarm," a trum- pet-like 'call by Handel; "Old Mother Hubbard," a Mother Goose specialty, as Handel would have done it; "The Bitterness of Love," by James Dunn, and "Parted," by Tosti. Among the graciously rend- ered encores were "Mo McRee" and "Tally Ho!" an English hunts- man's song in :tter style. Additional choir numbers in- cluded: "Green Pastures," by Sanderson; "Waltzing Matilda," the Australian marching song arranged for choir by Thomas Wood; "Shall We Go Dance," by C. V. Stanford; "Love Leads to Battle," by Buo- noncini; "Londonderry Air," ar. ranged by Silver; "Here's a Health Unto His Majesty," by Savile, and "Virgin's Slumber Song," by Max Mrs. G. E. Fleming played piano accompaniment for the women's voices in "Virgin's Slumber Song" and for the full choir in "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Rail Freight Hike Request Slated For January 8 Ottawa, Dec. 10--(CP)--Hearings' into the application of the Cana- dian railways for a 30 per cent in- crease in freight rates will open here Jan. 8 before the Board of Transport Commissioners, it is an- nounced. Ohief Commissioner J. A. Cross said the Board had not yet decided whether it would move outside the capital to hear representations. Meanwhile, organizations from any part of the country could present submissions at Ottawa. Council Defers Tenders Question The matter of calling for tend- ers for the proposed incinerator building was tabled by the City Council last night until the city has had an opportunity to check the plans and specifications submitted today by Meadows, Cri- toph and Company, engineers for the project. It had been urged also by Ald. Michael Starr, Chairman of the Board of Works, that Council con- sider the advisability of the "sani- tary fill" method of garbage dis- before committing itself to the erection of an incinerator. The city engineer had investigated this system as it is functioning in Barrie and had made a written report to council. . . Ald. Starr asked that council * consider this last night, but Ald. F. M. Dafoe, who was in the chair at the time, ruled that this was out of order until the question of tend- ers for the incinerator had been dealt with. Mayor McCallum told council that he had an appoint. ment with Mr. iJeadows this morn- ing to discuss the city's agreement with his firm in this regard. Meadows, Critoph and Co, had informed council prewiously that they were prepared to call tenders for the incinerator building. Tend- ers had been « lled previously for the incinerator equipment. No Action On Cattle Deaths At City Farm After hearing letters from Dr. A M. Mackay, Medical Officer of Health, and City Solicitor T. K. Creighton, K.C. regarding the death of several cattle, owned by Albert Arnold, tenant of the city farm on Simcoe Street South, City Council last night decided not to take any action unless Mr. old enters a forr.al complaint to Céun- cil in writing. Ald. Harman explained he had been approached by Mr. Arnold and as a result had sought the ad- vice of the M.O.H. and the solicitor. The letter from Dr. Mackay t- ed that it was believed the cattle had drunk water from the creek into which the outfall sewer flows and were thought to have con- tracted some form of metallic poisoning. As no formal complaint had been made there had been no post-mortem examination and no formal investigation. Mr. Creighton's , letter suggested there should have been a post- mortem as without one there was no definite way of knowing from what the cattle died. He suggested the tenant should support his claim with evidence. DECEMBER GRASS FIRE Toronto, Dec.-10--(CP)--A grass fire at the Long Branch rifle ranges which 'threatened to spread to an ammunition dump was extinguished by citizens of suburban lakeview be- QUE. POLICE RAID LPP. OFFICE, HOMES 13 Montreal, Dec. 10--(CP)--Lett in the dark by refusal of police offi- cials to comment, Montrealers to- day watched to see what action special flying squads composed of municipal, provincial and royal Canadian Mounted - Police would take in their campaign to nip in the bud distribution of "The Defence ot Fred Rose" leaflet, allegedly sedi- tious and libellous and described as attacking the government, the courts and the Royal Commission on espionage. Sunday and yesterday anti-sub- versive officers of the Montreal po- lice, reinforced by members of the provincial and R.C.M.P. anti-sub- versive squads, raided a printing es- tablishment, branch offices of the Labor-Progressive party and several private residences in their search for copies of the leaflet. There has been no announcement on the number of the pamphlets confiscated. In Quebec, Premier Duplessis, also | Attorney-General of Quebes, could not be reached to cémment on whe- ther the raids came under his con- troversial Padlock Law, which en- titles police to search and lock up any establishment used for cissemi- nation of subversive literature. The law obstensibly was designed to curb and eventually eliminate distribution of Communist liter- ature in Quebec provinca The only arrest made so far was that of Simon Malamed, 22 former McGill University student, who was taken into custody Sunday and who pleaded not guilty on his arraign- tributing a seditious and libellous leaflet. Yesterday, officers swooped down on the English, Frenca and Jewish branches of the L.P.P. In the same building as the French office are the offices of city councillor Michael Buhay. Mr, Buhay's private home was raid- er, as were those of several L.P.P. organizers. The councillors is secretary of the defence for Fred Rose committee which police claim prepared and paid for printing of the pampllet.

The city engineer and the city solicitor were instructed to inves- tigate whether there was an agree- ment between the city and the Bell Telephone Compay covering a case where a pole had to be re- The améndment was |. moved because it Interfered with a street. The question arose when Board of Works Chairman Michael Starr reported that a pole would have to be removed at the corner of Wilson Road and Lakeview Avenue. He said the Bell Tele- phone Company had offered to re- move the pole for $33, half the cost of the labor. In accord with a request from the Board of Education, Council set aside the area bounded by Olive Avenue, Vimy Avenue, Wilson Road and Cadillac Avenue South as a school area. It was pointed out that this was a matter of planning for the future, to make sure merely that lots in this block were not sold by the city. Regarding Harry G. Fishers application to purchase the granary on the city farm, it was decided to notify Mr. Fisher he might re- apply when his lease expired next spring. Authorization was given for the installation of two street lights on Arlington Avenue, two at tae north end of Division Street and one on Simcoe Street South in front of Cedardale United Church. It was moved that the owner of the small construction building on the Bishop Bethune property be instructed to have it removed. Approval was given for the erec- tion of a sign at 160 King Street East by Kenneth D. Essery. An application from the Imperial Tobacco Company to erect a sign overhanging the sidewalk at 802 Simcoe Street South was refused, however, After repeated applications, H. Rudniski was finally given permis- sion to operate a store in the semi- basement of his building at 63 Celina Street. It was provided that he must pay the balance of the full assessment for the property and that the catrance should be from the side. The sanitary inspector was in- structed to report on the alleged nuisance caused by the burning of plastic by Duplate Canada Ltd. The Public Utilities Commission was given permission to erect a temporary pole on Central Park Blvd., when it was pointed out that it would be impossible to obtain materials for underground instal. lations for perhaps a year. It had been suggested by Council that this would be an appropriate street to try out underground lighting. It was announced that there had been no further word as to when the parking meters would arrive. It was reported that a proposed bylaw was being drafted covering the C.C.F. Associations petition that the Council consider appoint- ing a consumer representative to obtain information concerning the Taclory determining the orice of milk, Council adjourned at 11;15 p.m. " Winnipeg, Dec. 10 -- (CP) -- Ne- gotiations seeking settlement of is- sues in dispute between the South- am Publishing Company and the International Typographical Union (AF.L.) have ended in failure, it was made known here in a report to Labor Minister Mitchell. Named industrial disputes inquiry commissioner Sept. 25, in an effort to resolve the differences between the company and union, Mr, Jus- tice Richards said several confer- ences had been held, but without settlement, as "the parties refus- ed to change their respective posi- tions." After preliminary discussions, the report said that joint and separate meetings had been held in Montreal on Oct. 24th tnd 25th. In attend- ance were Philip 8S. Fisher, Wil- liam J. Watson, president and vice president respectively of the South- am Company, Woodruff Randolph, president of the Irtarnational Un- ion and Harry Finch, IT.U. re- presentative. Reporting on the result of these meetings, - Mr, Justice Richards said: "Mr. Fisher stated and took the position that it was the tradition- al policy of the company that the local publisher of each newspaper submitted by Mr. Justice 8. E. Rich- ! ards, of the Manitoba Appeal Court | Southam-Union Attempt To Negotiate Dispute Has Ended In Failure should negotiate independently any collective agreement in respect of the newspaper published by him, 'and that he would not negotiate for him. Mr. Randolph stated and took the position that he represented all of the local unions involved in the dispute and was ready to enter into negotiations towards a settlement of the issues in dispute. "He stated further that the union had no objection to local negotia- tions and separate collective agree- ments for each newspaper, But each agreement must be approved by the executive council of the un- ion and him, and the agreements must be entered into at the same time by all the publishers of the Southam Company's newspapers. "The parties refused to change their respective positions and I was unable to bring about settlement ot the issues in dispute between them." The appointment of Mr. Justice Richards as commissioner followed a recommendation of a three-man commission headed by Brig, Sher- wood Lett, that the Minister of La- bor take steps to bring together the principal officers of the Southam company and the union. The Lett Commission was investigating a disagreement between the Vancou- |ver Province and the Varftouver | local of the International *'Typo- | graphical Union.

PUT SCHOOL QUESTION TO THE ELECTORS Four )ylaws were given first, second and third reading and passed by City Council at its meet- ing inthe Board Room at the Public Utilities Building last night. The first of the bylaws author- ized the submiuting to the qualified electors of the question of whether they are in favor of granting $880,000 to the Board of Education "for the extension of Ritson School and the erection of a new school on Roxborough Avenue." In this regard Ald. Starr voiced objection to the rlacing of the Ritson School extension first as it was his contention it was the lesser of the two expenditures. City Clerk F E. Hare pointed out the bylaw had been drafted at the request of the Board, while Ald. A. G. Davis voiced the opinion Council did not have the ht to change the wording. A second bylaw was passed auth- orizing the issuing, if necessary, of debentures in the amount of $72,000 to redeem the gas plant deben- rarily until the gas plant deb nt- tures falling due in the years 1947 . to 1955 inclusive. It was stated this action had been ap- proved by the Municipal Board. Another bylaw authorized the City Treasurer to borrow tempo- rarily until the glass plant debent. ures are sold. The fourth bylaw authorized the construction of sanitary sewers on a number of city streets. This work, whith was ccmpleted this year, is to be paid for under the | Local Improvement Bylaw. The lengthy sch:dule of streets on ; which work was done was published |in The Times-Gazette and the passing of the bylaw last night was a formality. | said, "Yet the provincial ------------ Provinces, Ottawa Must Straighten Out Differences " "The responsibilities of local municipal governments are not appreciated. We spend money on the people as individu- als," declared Controller H. E. McCallum who spoke on the subject "Municipal Government" at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club in Hotel Genosha yesterday. Controller McCallum was introduc- @ ed to tae club by his brother, Mayor Frank N. McCatium of Oshawa. Good Recreation Work "Everything applying to home life, parks, swimming pools, garbage collections, etc., belong to the muni- cipal government" he stated. "Re- creation under municipal commun- ity centres are doing excellent work." Toronto has, and continues to use local schools. Nightly the | attendance often reaches 1,000 young people, where dances are held to the music of recordings." "Nothing has been done about de- linquency in the past' stated the Controller. "With nowhere to go boys are often driven off the streets into pool parlors. Churches are un- satisfactory due to various religions. An expected increase in delin- quency, after the end of the war, tailed to materialize. Continuing he said, "municipal governments have the. power to change the bylaws. Often. this af- fects property and districts. Yet sometimes these changes are for the worse." "The cost in operating the var- fous departments of the municipal gevernment is. tremendous. Social and welfare organizations are a terrific drain on city funds", he govern- ments offer little help." "Day care centres were provided for the children of war working mothers, yet these were left finan- cially forgotten by the provincial Peterborough Voters Favor New Sewage Plant, Airport By The Canadian Press A wide variety of by-laws, topped by authorization of a $4,500,000 pur- chase, were voted on yesterday as more than 100 municipalities held annual elections. Ottawa's electorate voted in fa- vor of the purchase by Ottawa Hy- dro of the $4,500,000 in assets of the Ottawa Light, Heat and Power sys- tem. The by-law allows the city to issue debentures for $3,500,000 to cover the purchase price. Of this amount, $1,000,000 is be- ing provided by the Ottawa Hydro Electric Power Commission, which Army Chaplain Tells of Work The experiences of an army chaplain on overseas service were praghically portrayed by word and picture in an address last night hy Capt. (Rev.) Walter Hughes, M.B.E., of Toronto, given at the supper meeting of the Oshawa Christian Business Men's Committee. Capt. Hughes told of many inter- esting experiences with the troops in England and on the continent, showing colored slides of groups of men listening to the gospel message. many of them taken during recess frem fighting in the front line. Other pictures were beautiful scenes in England and Scotland, and some depicting the effects of the blitz in London. The Nelson Brothers In- strumental Trio gave several fine selections. Tire meeting was presided over by H. B. Wilson, newly-elected chair- man, who introduced othar officers and members of the executive. guarantees to meet all payments of rrincipal and interest on the $3,- 500,000 debt it is asking the city to carry. Most of the other by-laws voted on dealt with civic improvements or building of rinks or hospitals, al- though three municipalities voted for daylight saving time -- North Bay, St. Thomas and Brantford. Other by-laws voted on affirma- tively included: North Bay--Municipal Bus Sys- tem; Peterborough--$375,000 sewage plant and $150,000 airport; Inger- soll--new hospital; New Liskhead--a board of education to replace pres- ent public and high school boards; Belleville--to spend $25,000 for in- dustrial sites; Stratford--to spend up to $1,000,000 for new hospital. / 'Try a classified advertisement for quick results- and federal governments at the close of the war" and they now constitute another responsibility left to the municipal governments." Provincial Aid Refused "Tests were made on the health and schooling oi 'tnese affected children, which proved the benefits of one good meal a day" said the Controller, "The City of Toronto asked the provincial government to carry on this fine work, but they refused." He said the housing situation is another well known problem. Such places as the Trinity Barracks, Lit- tle Norway, General Engineering, and Stanley Barracks were taken over as homes, The Province offer ed to pay half the costs. A large sum was spent on housing alone. Yet most of this was spent in suburban areas outside the city limits. It was asked of the prev- ince to pay the costs of providing these new houses with sewage and sidewalk facilities. But to no avail. The money provided for the Phy- sical Fitness Act does not take into consideration the populations. Com= munity centres in larger cities re- ceive the same grants as smaller communities. Yet thickly populated cities have greater need for recrea- tion centres than have smaller towns. He said "We must insist that Ottawa and the Provincial Govern- ments straighten out their differ- ences". He continued by saying "Provincial highways are only in good condition up to city or town limits. No financial returns are made of some $15,000 spent on tax- ation of buses each year, These buses never leave the city. Three and one half million dollars was spent last year on gasoline taxes alone, yet not one penny was ree turned to us" said the 'Controller. "Main highways through the cities must be paid for by the municipali- ties," he continued. "It is nearly impossidole to keep the tax rate down considering the increased cost of labor and mater- als." Federal and provincial gove ernments must realize the increase ing needs of the municipal governe ments, C.8.L. TO CONSIDER LIQUOR BYLAWS Toronto, Dec. 10--(CP)--Officials of the Canada Steamship Lines said here that whether liquor is to be served on passenger vessels on the Great Lakes next navigation season is a matter which will come up for study next month at a company meeting. The new Liquor Act of Ontario comes into effect Jan. 1 and under it the serving of liquor on lake pas- sengers will be legal 50 Brides Go Back 'ome, Nothing 'ere Like Blighty Liverpool, Dec. 10 --(CP)-- Fitty war-brides and their families have returned to Britain from Canada aboard the steamship Cavins, which normally takes brides to Canada from Britain. Many of the brides spoke of "high prices" in Canada and said that apart from food which is "better than in Britain" other conditions such as housing and clothing were "worse." i) Mrs. Ninette Bowen, 20, of Read- ing, Berkshire, said that she left Canada after two months because she was "homesick for the sight of an English dance hall and an Eng- lish pub." She added that her hus- band would follow her. With two children, Pauline, three, and Ivor, one, Mrs. Margaret Fann, 26, said that she left her husband in Saskatchewan because she was dissatisfied with the "the shack we lived in." / Here's a Christmas Gift Suggestion !
