Interesting Story Hour Is Planned Let us take a peep {into the Boys' and Girls' Room at the Pub- lic Library on Saturday morning, January 25, A fire is crackling merrily in the grate. Rows of boys and girls are sitting on'benches around the fireplace. Miss Ross and Miss Brooking are there too, ready to tell two fascinating stor- igs over the radio. In the back- ground, Mr. Elliott and the an. nouncer are twirling dials and we hear strains of music coming over C.K.D.O, Everyone is tense with expectation. Finally, the great moment arrives, The voice of the announcer is heard saying "This is the Children's Story Hour at the Public Library." The first tale, told by Miss Brooking, will be a fairy story called Tattercoats, Tattercoats was the granddaughter of a rich old lord, He hated the little girl bitterly and her only friends were her old nurse and the mysterious gooseherd who played beautiful notes on the pipes. Of course, there is a prince in this story and a great ball and-- (but this is a secret) everything ends very hap- pily. Miss Boes will then tell the sto- ry "How the Whale Got His Throat" written by Rudyard Kip- ling. This is the story of the man of infinite-resource-and-sagacity, who was swallowed by the whale. This poor man made things so unpleasant for the old whale that its greatest wish was to get rid of all this indigestion, If you come to the library on Saturday morning you will hear how the man of infinite-resource- and -saggcity finally escaped and just what he did to the whales throat,' The Broadcast will be at ten o'clock. All girls and boys should be in their places shortly after 9.- 80 since the doors 1 11 be closed from 9.60-~--10.16, Albert United (Continued from Page 1) the church.

"We are not telling a man he has to charge so much but we are ask- ing him to co-operate by establish ing a schedule of new prices, ap- proved by the majority," he stated. The speaker also explained the procedure followed in getting the support and co-operation of the Government in approving codes or prices, for certain zones, He sug- gested that the day was not far off when all Ontario would be one zone. The Government does not set the minimum, they simply ap- prove the minimum, sent to them by the representatives, it was point- ed out, Spe on behalf of "the op- position" to the new 60-cent price for men's haircuts, Charlie John- ston stated that he had not been invited to attend the meeting re- cently when the 60-cent price was set, as he is not a member of the O.B.A. He stated that his group felt that the unsettled employmen and consequent economic condi- tions in Oshawa were such, that a 15-cent or 33% per cent increase was too much and that they were Johnson, Rickes, Jerry Mountenay and Vern E. Trimble. . The fact that journeymen had no right to vote on increase in prices was questioned by "the op- position" and Mr, Drane agreed that this was correct. Tender Resignations The fact that these barbers had not been !nvited to the original price-raise meeting of Oshawa barbers, together with the fact that journeymen were premitted to vote, was not denied, In fact, President Bill Peters and Secretary Ed, McCaffrey of the Oshawa Barbers' Association, tendéred their resignations, As Secretary, Mr. McCaffrey expres- sed his willingness to accept the entire blame for the lack of in. vitations. The meeting urged him to re-consider his resignation but he refused to return to the office. At a brief election later, Mr. Lloyd Shobbrook was elected Sec- retary, but Mr, Bill Peters was returned as President, with only one dissenting vote---his own, Other Prices Remain The question of the raise of prices of children's haircuts to 40c and shaves to 35¢c was not even discussed until after the con- tentious men's haircut price had been settled, When the matter wag raised, neither 'the opposi- tion" nor anyone else had any ob- jections and it was decided that these new prices would stand. Suggestions that "the opposition" consider the 60-cent price were all flatly refused, In commenting, at one stage, Provincial Organizer Larry Drane stated "This situation is foolish. There isn't any question we should be paying 60 cents, there isn't any question we should be paying 75 cents and how are you going to invite a better class of journeyman to the trade if you don't make 1t interesting for him. "A barber's actual salary, under And present prices, is less than $45.00 & week and less than that, he can not live on it today. If you consider this from the viewpoint of the public's wishes, they'l] have you cutting their hair for ten cents. "Consider yourself first and con- sider the public second", he added in another comment, President Wm, Peters, of the Osh- awa Barbers, in his comments; stated that at the original meeting, he had been in favor of a 50-cent price but when it came time to vote, did not wish to go agalnst the rule of the majority so had favored the 80-cent price. One or two others in the group of master barbers pres- ent stated that this had been their feelings also--"they didn't want to look like a piker" so had voted for that at meetings in school premises proceedings would be opened with a prayer. Trustee Blair Laing said that "any loyal Canadian group whether reli- gious or not should be prepared and proud to sing the National Anthem." in the past we have not in- od spa Edughy existence for 25 years. answer a question as been included in the the first place. Trustee Harold Male said: "If His Majesty were here he would prob- ebly laugh at us." 5 in | the 60-cent price rather than a b- cent raise Offered to Explain to Public President Otto Maluske, of the Ontario Barbers' Association, - gested that his organization run an advertisement in the local paper, announcing the results of the meeting and stating that the deci- sio had been to make the price of haircuts for men at sixty cents. The advertisement would be worded so that none of "the opposition" would have a 'red face', he stated. "The opposition" would have no part of this offer and re-afirmed their refusal to have any part of a 60-cent price, at this time, although admitting that perhaps in a few months, times would permit another increase above fifty cents. At the conclusion of the meeting, "the opposition" signified their willingness to co- operate with the other local barbers, by signing application forms for membership in the Ontario Barbers' Association, Honors Judge (Continued from Page 1) and career in my office, I am sure success will attend his work," said W. E. N. Sinclair, K. C.,, M. P,, with whom Judge Anderson was assoclat- ed in law practice for the past 20 years. Mr. Sinclair recalled that the new appointee to the Bench had been scmething of an "ex-man." He not- ed that Judge Anderson was an ex- mayor of Oshawa, ex-chairman of | pay the Public Utilities Commission and the Town Planning Comission, ex- president of the of Com- merce and the Ontario County Bar Association "He has been a tower of strength in the office for a good many years and he has left a mark on the city," Mr, Sinclair declared, affirming his belief that Judge Anderson was un- Jou qualified to be elevated e judiciary. "We all know the esteem in which the judiciary is held in this country of ours," Mr. Sinclair added. "Peo- ple have great confidence in and respect for that judiciary. The men who occupy positions on the Bench warrant that confidence." A telegram from G.D. Conant, K. C., Master of the Supreme Court of Ontario, who was unable to be pres- ent, offered his congratulations to Judge Anderson. R. D. Arnott, K. C, and A, B. Collins, K.

Smoke, For quick results--Times-Gazette Classified Ads, are best, a Ask Government Stop Lifting Of Price Controls At a meeting of the General Mo- tors Division of Local 222, U.AW.- C.1.0., on Wednesday night, a reso- lution was passed calling upon the federal government to stop any further lifting of price controls at this time and to give consideration to a program of subsidies aimed at rolling back prices. The text of the resolution is as follows:-- WHEREAS: during the war price control proved an effective instru- ment in stabilizing our cost of liv- ing, we view with concern the re- cent action of the Federal Govern- ment in lifting the price control on hundreds of essentials which is now being followed by widespread price increases, , and WHEREAS: we recognize that price decontrol is part of the Gov- ernment's policy "to return indus- try to the free competitive position it held before the war," we also con- sider the recent lifting of prices contrary to the promise that de- control would be gradual so as not to create hardships on the Canadian people and also consider the lift- ing of prices unwarranted at this time in view of the 9% increase in the Cost of Living Index during the past year, and WHEREAS: during 1946 Canadian workers were forced to seek wage demands to offset loss of take home and the increase in the cost of living at that time, we feel that similar demands which will again strain labor-management relations will be necessary unless a halt is called to the lifting of price con- trols, be it therefore RESOLVED: that Local 232 Unit- ed Automobile Workers of America, Oshawa, request the Federal Gove ernment to stop any further lifting of price controls at this time and to give consideration to a program of subsidies aimed at rolling back prices. Lets Contract Despite Threat St. Catharines, Jan. 24--(CP) -- Threatened with issuance of writs against every member of the Board, and application for an injunction to restrain awarding of a contract for the new $875,000 collegiate addition, St. Catharines board of education last night defied the threat and au- thorized entering into an agreement with the contractor and the imme- diate start of construction. The board acted on the advice of the Ontario Municipal Board and the city solicitor after an unnamed group of ratepayers, represented by a local legal firm, had protested to board chairman against the awaiting of the contract and had threatened issuance of writs and application for an injunc- tion, The action follows the calling of tenders in 1946 for an addition to Work | the collegiate, after the electorate had approved a bylaw for $200,000 to building. erect the y Having insufficient funds on hand, the board appealed to city oouncil the old bylaw was with- drawn and this year a $375,000 by- law was passed by the electors.
