Farmer Earl Fends Against Coal Pits Rotherham, Enzland, Jan, 20-- (CP)--The ministry of fuel and Earl Fitzwilliam, whose Went- worth Woodhouse estate has been chopped up by the steel buckets of surface coal-mining machinery, are at it again. Six new open-cast coal siteg are to be requisitioned on the beauti- ful farm and park, says the mini. stry, to help meet the country's fuel crisis. "Nonsense," says the Earl, or words to that effect, It will take months to open the new work- ings and the crisis will be ended by spring. "It will be a much better es- . | tate when we have finished than 14d 28 ER I i beljy : ES gi 255 Ed I 23 g HHL 33s' He iE g i gEak od] § ; before," says the ministry. "Sheer rubbish," says the Earl in a hotly-worded statement, "Agricultural land . , , is not improved by building roads over fields which should be growing crops or grazing cattle. Neither is it helpful to the farmer to lose the Sroater part of the top sofl, which contains humus, in the pro- cess of coal-getting; to leave on the surfgce of land, said to have been 'restored,' clay, shale and stones , , ." But probably, as it did in 1946, the ministry will go ahead. When first warned his estate would be used for surface mining, Earl Fitzwilllam made a personal appeal to Fuel Minister Shinwell and Prime Minister Attlee. When that failed he tried to give his property away--to the National Trust, the unofficial Parks Board which preserves famous old buil- dings and natural beauty spots for the nation, a Despite that effort, 1,500 acres 'were refuisitioned. Now more than 200 acres of woodland have been cut down and even the gar- dens of Wentworth Woodhouse have been torn up in the search for coal.

Jan, 20--(CP) --Dartmouth residents will see an unfamiliar sight late this month if the dreams of a small group of air-inded young r:en and women come true. The Gull Gliding Club of Dart- mouth hopes to have its first gli. der in the air soon. It will be the only glider seen here for some titiie and the club probably is the only one of its tybe east of Mon- treal, With only 12 active members the club decided to build its own single-seat glider at a cost of $500 instead of purchasing one already-made, Now almost com- pleted, the craft is of the English "Kirby Kadet" type with a wing span of 40 feet, The idea of the club originated a year ago in Dartmouth when several members of the Fleet Air Arm were stationed at the nearby Eastern Passage airport. In early 1946 a small membership had been enrolled and work on the glider began, President of the club is George Dunbar, a chemical engineer and graduate of McGill University, who is the only member to have any previous gliding experience. He hopes to be able to assist other members of the club in passing tests set for glider pilots under new Department of Trans- port resulations. The club, inci. dentally, includes women as well as men; and all ages too. |May Change Site Of Dick Retrial Hamilton, Jan. 20-- (CP) --A change of venue for the re-trial of Mrs. Evelyn Dick, charged with the torso murder of her husband has been considered by defence counsel, John J. Sullivan, Mrs. Dick's law- yer, declares. No request for the change of venue has been made, he said, but the idea has not been dis- carded Mrs, Dick today was in the wo- men's cell corridor at the Barton St. jail, released from a solitary confinement cell in the "death row" by an Ontario Appeal Court judg- , | ment which granted her a new trial. Sometimes defence counsel ask that a re-trial be held in a city to | other than the one in which agccus- ed person was first tried if they consider publicity given a case might have prejudiced the defence. Mr. Sullivan said he felt that in the Dick case, wide publicity had been given in all parts of Ontario.

It appear- ed the Legionnaires were heading for a victory but the Petes were not out of the running yet and came back and tied it up with Parsons being the sniper. The period ended with the score 5-5. In the extra session the Petes took every ad- vantage and scored two goals with- out a reply from the Whitby crew.

New Zealand Ups Car Body Imports Wellington, N.Z.,, Jan, 20 -- (CP)--A further increase in im- port licenses for commercial chas- sis, in component parts, from Bri- tain, Canada and the United Sta- tes, has been granted in New Zea. land, to the extent of 30 per cent of similar imports from these sources in 1938. The new increase will mean that in 1947, provided the coun- tries concerned can make sup- plies available, commercial chas- sis will be imported to the value of 260 per cent of 1938 imports from Britain and 150 per cent of 1938 imports from Canada and the United States. 2 Owing to the increase in prices the actual numbers will be only about 1,800 from Britain, 1,800 from Canada, the largest pre-war supplier, and 855 from the Uni- ted States, "Gas" Says Officers "Ghost" Says Vicar Leamington, England,-- (CP) --Sentries didn't wait to issue a challenge when they saw a mys- terious white shape, something like a horse, leap a hedge near the army dump and disappear, "Marsh gas," said their officers but Rev, J.

Owner yn A 4 Al the Dominion Govern- ment s of the Veterans Land Afy 7s Sontilally receiving com- p of concerning homes bought by veterans under the V.L.A, and Small Holdings Act, 'it would appear that the three returned servicemen residents of the Hill. court sub-division | the V.LA., Whi: ut Me oe y, are sa 1 extent at least, § spin Although completed for some time now, only three of the five houses in the sub-division have been de- finitely sold while rumours are abroad that the other two will be ogccupled in the very near future. In a recent interview with the owners of the houses it was learned that although not entirely satisfac- tory, the houses appear tp be es- sential sound and it is understood that the government will insist that the complaints which have been submitted by the tenants con- cerning the actual finish to the homes will be investigated and re- paired. The Hillcourt tenants, Gordon McMahon, C. Tindell and David Cuddy, have been in their homes for some months now and already have formed basic ideas as to what they want their little community to look like in the future. Each house is situated on 'a half acre of land giving each owner plenty of space for a back garden, garage and driveway. However, Mr. McMghon and Mr. Cuddy in addi- | purc! tion to their house lot have pur- chased a further six acres of land and are planning to turn it into a picturesque playground and orchard. They already have placed an order with a Provincial Reforestation Officer to deliver trees and shrubs n in the vicinity of 2500 individual plants. Included in the hoped for assortment are Scotch Pine, oplar. Coat and Spruce trees along many flowering and evergreen shrubs and fruit trees. The two ambitious owners plan to do the required and nursing of the trees themselves. They both say that although it will mean a lot of work it will he well worth it in the end. "In addition," they point out, "it will be a safe place for the young- sters to play, and at the same time we expect to make a certain amount of profit from fruit receipts." The -homes in the Hillcourt sub- division are pleasantly situated at close proximity to one another with. out being crowded together. They are of two popular stylings some being bungalows and others being one and one half storey structures. They all have plenty of window Sate and the rooms are reasonably arge. Mr, McMahon stated that his home is very easily heated and so far no water has managed to seep into the cellar as has been the case in other houses built under the VLA. The houses are insulated through- 8 lie -pumped water ly they say' that it works Sat as well any other system. Each home its own well which supplies wate An appealing feature about houses at least as far as the fe- minine members of the family are concerned are the large, bright: kit- chens complete with built-in fixe and the abund-~ ance of counter space. The houses have been attractively finished on the outside and al- though landscaping has not been completed it is expected that the government will undertake this task in the early spring or make provision in the purchase price which will allow the owner to do the work himself at no extra cost. The government will enter into a contract with the Township to care for the roads and to see that latter fact was the source of some concern earlier this winter when the snow began to mount in drifts, However, the situation has been rectified now and everything seems to be under control. "We are satisfied with our new home" sald Mr. McMahon, "and in view of the critician and complain ing coming from other veterans wha hased homes under schemes, we feel that maybe we very lucky. If all our plans out and we are able to do the posed work it should not be long before we have one of nicest V.L.A., communities in area."
