F, Mackay, to inform the Board of Education to anticipate the initiation of a secondary school health program in 1947. Details of the health i spec- Son program are still being worked out. All members of the Board agreed that the adolescent age group re- quired further attention. "We get into most of our trouble with adol- escents," Dr, W. S. Milliman com- mented. Miss Gertrude Tuckbr, Public Health nurse, described some fea- tures of the Toronto secondary school program, which - has been operating since 1943.

Murray P. Johnston, who for a time was Officer Command- ing the 11th Armored (Ontario) Regiment during the campaigns in Sicily and Italy, played the role of guest speaker, Not only was the talk thoroughly enjoyed because of the calibre and laugh-provoking qualities of the speaker but it was especially appre- ciated because it was delivered by a . Kiwanian Murray, in friendly and informal manner, related to the Kiwanians numerous anecdotes and incidents, based on actual or alleged actual happenings during the war years in England and on the A Continent during the campaigns. Following a session of mirthful narrative, Kiwanian \ Murray left two challenging thoughts with his audience. "Looking back on what happened during the war and the manner in which the leaders of the Armed Forces conducted them- selves," he stated, "the success of the Allied Armies was due, I be- lieve, to the fact that the fighting came to know the men for whom they were fighting and working. The leaders made a point of right out in front of the men and being with them. "I think there is a lesson for us, as Kiwanians, and for all men in business, industry or public life to- day, to be learned from the tactics which proved so successful in the war, We should acquaint the men, who are working for us and with us, with what is to be done, what is wanted." He added that this display of confidence will in turn increase the sense of responsibility and spirit of co-operation in most men. In conclusion, the speaker sug- gested to the Kiwanians that in their club life as well as other ac- tivities, a resolution should be made for 1947, not to criticize the thoughts and endeavors of any other individual unless we are pre- pared to offer an improved idea concerning the work or problem to tackled + A highlight of the entertainment Eo ae slo pasion.

Airplane Flight Manteo, N.C, Dec, 18 -- (AP) -- With several old timers who worked with the Wright brothers in attend- ance, this remote, eastern North Carolina community yesterday cele- brated the 43rd anniversary of his- tory's first successful airplane flight. The exercises began when a flight of army and navy planes zoomed overhead, 'Adjustments in Automobile in- surance rates effective January 1, 1947, are announced today by the Canadian Underwriters' Associa- tion and the Independent Automo- bile Insurance Conference. It is stated that traffic accidents in. the first nine months of 1946 in he Province of Ontario, have in- reased 36 per cent over the first nine months of 1945, and the aver- e cost of bodily injury and pro- y damage or collision loss, has increased since 1939 from 15 per cent to 40 per cent, depending upon he type of cover, to the increased number of traffic accidents and the increased cost of repairing automobiles, the knsurance companies state that it is hagcessary to increase the rates for liability for bodily injury and Namage to property insurance by proximately 10 per cent to 15 per bent other than in North Bay and Sudbury and the remainder of grth-eastern Ontario. For the une reason the rates for collision urance, i.e., insurance for dam- gp to the insured's own automo- bile, are increased 10 per cent, ex- pt that in districts such as Otta- | London, Niagara Falls, King- ton and St. Catharines, it is nec- ss: to increase them 20 per cent, e in North Bay, Sudbury and fi remainder of Northeastern On- tario there is no change in the col- lision rates.

Else- where in Ontario there is no change in fire and theft insurance rates. For reasons similar to those stat- ed in the case of private passeng- er automobiles it has been neces- sary to increase legal liability for bodily injury and damage to pro- perty rates for commercial auto- mobiles (trucks) 10 per cent except that in the cities of Toronto, Ha- milton and Windsor, and such ci- ties as Ottawa, London, Niagara Falls, Kingston and St. Cathar- ines, the increase is 20 per cent.

"We couldn't give away a toy tank today," said the manager of one Brantford store. His words were echoed in varying degree by edalers across Canada as a sur- vey by The Canadian Press show- ed huge demand for mechandcal toys like trains and autos, wood- en pices Mke wagons and sail boats and plastic toys. With some exceptions, dealers reported toys of better quality than during the war years and in good to excellent supply, al- though shortages of rubber, pa- per, cloth and steel made them- selves felt in some lines, Prices were 'reported lower on such toys as were available last year mainly because cheaper lines were harder to sell with the re- turn of better quality toys. Slight- ly higher prices for the latter ca- tegory did nothing to hamper brisk sales, Some centres report- ed lower prices because of com- petition. Here is how Santa Claus fared: Halifax reported big demand for metal and mechanical toys; cooking sets, plastic dishes, dolls and doll carriages also in good demand. Charlottetown reported prices for quality toys slightly lower than last year with airplane mod- els, target games and engineer sets popular with boys, dolls, household articles in miniature liked by girls, In Ontario, Canadian toy mak- ers were sald to be making more items this year than ever before. Prices at Toronto were higher for dolls imported from England and metal toys from the United Sta- tes. Supplies reached an all-time high at Toronto. Other Ontario cities had similar reports, with Peterborough dealers at the bare shelf stage. Reports from the west were much the same as in Eastern Can. ada. Mechanical and fretwork toys from England were selling well and department stores had better selections than in years. GREAT ARTURO . HITS SNAGS AT FALLS Niagara Falls, Ont., Dec. 18-- (CP)--The Great Arturo -- or Arthur Trosl, isn't having much luck obtaining permission to risk his neck on a tight-rope stretched across the Niagara gorge. On the American side of the gorge he was refused per- mission to stretch the cable and now Mayor George Inglis, on the Canadian side says he also disapproves of the idea. Alleges He Has Meanest Neighbor Detroit, Dec, 18 -- (CP) -- Mike Schych says he has the rheanest neighbor in the world--and backs up his statement with this proof: 1 Mitchell Gorozyca-- the neigh- bor--plants unclipped hedges and trees to shut out the sun from Mike's victory garden. 2. Gorozyca keeps a pile of lum- ber in the yard to attract rats which he traps and tosses into Mike's yard. 8. Gorozyca's young .daughter shakes the ladder every time Mike climbs up to paint his own house. The judge issued a temporary res- training order against the Gorozyca clan protecting Mike from rats and ladder shaking, V-2 Rocket Hits Record Height 'White Sands, NM.,, Dec. 18--(AP) --A German V-2 rocket trailing a long string of white fire, soared comet-like to a record of 111 miles into the heavens last night, but its man-made meteorites were so puny they eluded most eyes. A scientific valuation of the me- teorites experiment awaits develop- ment of film from cameras, some 300 of which were trained on the heavens over this southern New Mexico ordnance proving ground. The rocket shoot itself was term- ed the best so far by Lt.-Col. Harold R. Turner, White Sands command- a nt. Not only did the 14-ton missile crack the July 30 altitude record of 104 miles, but also it established a speed record of 5350 feet a second --more than a mile a second and about five times the speed of sound. The rocket engines' white hot blast lasted for 66 seconds. For 44 more seconds, the carbon rudder fins heated by the exhaust blast, flowed in the sky. The rocket land- ed 27 miles north of the 'launching platform.

The Association's annual meet- ing was told the carry-over would cut into sales of early pota- toes next summer. "It's easler to do things like cur- tailing acreage when we're taking a licking, but it's also more expen- sive sometimes," said S. Murray Clark, Liberal Member of Parlia- ment for Essex South, a member of the Association, No decision was taken on the suggested reduction but the Associ- ation will confer with other grow- ers' organizations in the Blenheim and Leamington districts.

None of the filve made any final statement or request before the traps were sprung. The German prisoners were hanged for the murder of a fellow- prisoner in a Canadian interhment camp while the Canadian, Donald Sherman Staley, 29, paid with his old Donnie Goss in Calgary last life for the sex-slaying of six-year- July 24. Staff Sgt.-Maj. Bruno Percenow- ski, 34, and Sgt.-Maj. Heinrich Busch, 29, were first to face the executioner. The traps were sprung on them at 10 minutes after mid- night, M.S.T. (2:10 a.m. ES.T.). Sgt.-Maj. Willi Mueller, 31, and Sgt. Walter Wolf, 29, followed them to the gallows 32 minutes later. Staley, a native of Bracebridge, Ont, was hanged at 1:05 am. MAB.T. (3:05 am. EST), Shortly before the procession to the scaffolds started, prison officials disclosed that Percenowski, Mueller and Busch tried unsuccessfully to end their own lives yesterday. The men, convicted along with Wolf for the murder of Cpl. Karl Lehmann in the Medicine Hat prisoner-of- war camp Sept. 10, 1944, slashed their wrists and arms with pieces of razor blades. Prison officials said they believed the blades were smuggled into the jail concealed in books borrowed by the men from the prisoner-of-war camp here, But the attempt was discovered almost immediately by alert guards. The Germans, who lynched Leh- mann after a "kangaroo court" had decided the victim was the leader of a Communist plot to overthrow their Nasi camp leadership, con- tinued to ignore Staley to the end. The contemptuously refused to speak or even to recognize his pres- ence, claiming he was a common criminal, They maintained that they had simply executed a military order in "removing" Lehmann, Only Wolf, a former Africa Korps infantryman, failed to take part in the suicide bid. He told officials "I didn't want to die that way." Earlier all four men had asked to be shot. Percenowski and Wolf were the only married men of the quartet. The former is survived by a wife and daughter living in Austria and the latter by a wife living near Es- sen, Germany. Mueller, a Luft- waffle mechanic and Busch, a pilot, were single. All five executed men will be bur- ied in a common grave dug in the jail yard. The bodies will be placed in individual coffins. Early today no one had come forward to claim the bodies from jail officials, Chickenpox Most Prevalent Disease In City Last Month Chickenpox was again the most prevalent communic- able disease in Oshawa during November, with 46 cases ? reported, the same number as in October, the monthly public health reports show.

A temprary "dip" may-come in 1947, the board of three economists told President Truman, but "cour- ageous and sensible" action by bu- siness and labor can hold the re- cession to "moderate proportions, if not avert it." The report was the first submit- ted by the high economic advisory body created by the Employment Act of 1946 and headed by Dr. Ed- win G. Nourse. The council is in- structed to report on economic trends and advise on legislative and executive steps which will eon- tribute to "maximum employment, production and purchasing power." After next year's possible reces- sion, the report said, "broad basic conditions suggest that it will be easy to have some years of high production, employment and pur- chasing power without the display of any ex economic statesmanship by leaders of indus- try, labor, farming and finance." Yet a policy of drifting in those years, or of being content with less than country-wide high production, the council cautioned, could bring on a subsequent period of "serious unemployment, under = production and want." and one of mumps. the month 106 children - were vaccinated against smallpox at the immunization centres, 41 doses of diphtheria toxold were ad. - ministered and 124 doses of com- bined serum for protection against diphtheria and whooping cough.
