* DECEMBER 1, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE alestine Was Big Issue of U.N. Session Now Concluded & 4 Pulpit Is War Memorial ahh 'At Holy Trinity Church A 4 ox A pulpit was dedicated in Holy Trinity Anglican Church yesterday morning as a memorial to the mem- Jers from the parish who gave their dives in World War II and in thanksgiving for those who return- ed safely. .- Rt. Rev. A. R. Beverley, Bishop of Toronto, officiated at the dedi- cation which followed a service of «confirmation. There could not be a more fitting memorial to those who fought for freedom, he said, than a pulpit from which the Sternal truths of the gospe of Jesus Christ would be proclaimed irom week to week. .The - new pulpit, in oak-finish, bears the inscription: "In loving Juemory of members from this par- ish who gave their lives in World War II; and in thanksgiving for wn0se who came safely home." _ Prayers that those who would preach from the pulpit might be | #illed with the spirit of wisdom and! those | understanding and that taught might attain to "the way, fhe truth and the light," along with prayers in remembrance of those who laid down their lives in battle followed the dedication. The hymn "O valiant hearts" concluded the memorial portion of the services. Have Jesus in Thoughts In the service of confirmation; five candidates received the laying on of hands. Addressing those who had thus become communicant members of the church, Bishop Beverley urged them to have Jesus Christ ever in their thoughts and minds for them that which was fair and beautiful would be there also. The Bishop took as his text the precept contained in Paul's epistle to the Philippians: "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure . . » think on these things." One should think in particular of religious truth, he said, the great truths of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and also on venerable, august things rather than trivialities. "Thirdly, one should keep close to his mind his duty and obligations. "In all circumstances of life there is nothing finer we can do than our duty to God, to our country and to our King," he said. "I venture to say it is that conception of duty deep in the heart of the English people, that is the outgrowth and - Symbol of their loyalty to God, which has carried them through the great crises in their history and will enable them in these days of austerity and trial to carry through and make their contribution to the peace and prosperity of the world in the years to come." Pointing out that to think on things pure and lovely, men must also turn away from that their op- posites, Bishop Beverley said there were many today who let their minds dwell on that which is vain, trivial, unjust, impure and ugly. He deplored this tendency in 'much of the present "realistic" and in many motion pictures. Type of Reading Important Reminding parents that there was no_matter on which they should exercise more thought than the books their children read and the pictures they saw, he declared that there are some books today which are "a debasement to the minds and hearts of people" and some motion pictures which are "a defilement to behold." These things in the text should be thought on, he continued, be- cayse thoughts mould action and thought and action together makes character. Further, character makes destiny both in this world and in the next. . ~To the final question, how this precept should be obeyed, he said the true, the honest, the just, the pute and lovely were not mere things or abstractions but had been embodied in Jesus Christ. #4If Jesus Christ is in all our theughts, then every fair and beau- ud thing will be there also," he sal "The choir sang as an anthem "God is a Spirit." ." DIVORCE FOR TYRONE? _ Hollywood, Dec. 1--J(AP)--Ty- tone Power, who has been squiring Lana Turner, returned yesterday from a 32,000-mile aerial junket to 18 countries and learned that his wife, Annabella, is ready to give him a divorce if he wants it. Speaking Tonight JOHN F. CLARK Lecturer in Horticulture for the Ontario Department of Agriculture will be the speaker at the meeting of the Oshawa Horticultural So- ciety in the auditorium of Centre Street School tonight. Addition To Legion Hall Is Opened Opening the Legion Hall addi- tion here Saturday, Major-General C. B. Price, Dominion president of the Canadian Legion, said he had seen few Legion branches "as large or as well furnished" as Branch 4 3. After a tour of the building, General Price declared the Legion here must have had a great deal of whole-hearted co-operation from the city and its citizens in order "to get a building like this." Captain Douglas W. Smith, public relations officer for the Dominion command, added that, taking both facilities and member- ship into consideration, the local branch had moved ahead of other cities of a similar size. With 2,000 branches and a membership of approximately 300,- 000 across Canada, the Legion was determined to play its part in the community life of the country as well as remain on the alert for any subversive elements which might attempt to infiltrate, Capt. Smith pointed out. The present membership of 300,- 000, reduced from the immediate postwar period, was "strong and active," Capt. Smith said. Such a vigorous body was far better than a numerically stronger group lacking in drive and effort. Capt. Smith emphasized that although the Legion still regarded itself as the champion of veterans' rights it would not stop there. A broadly - based citizenship cam- paign among Legion members was one of the most important future objectives. CHURCHILL'S BIRTHDAY London, Dec. 1 -- (AP) -- Winston Churchill was T3 yesterday and ce- lebrated with two birthday parties.

Canadian ships funnelling grain, iron ore and coal down the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and carrying foodstuffs and manufac- tured goods in an ever-increasing | flow overseas, all contributed to a total that outdistanced 1946 ton- nage. The ships are still hard at it but this activity will cease when the last vessels tie up Dec. 10 and in- land navigation aids are removed for the winter. The St. Lawrence River canals were kept busy with 6,173,805 tons passed to Oct. 31 against 5,350,578 tons 'for 1946, and was nol far ofl the 1938 record of about 9,000,000 tons. The Great Lakes Canals set a " peace-time record. To Oct. 31, they recorded 108,663,337 tons including tonnage on the Welland Canal and Cgnadian and American locks of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, against , 303,167,041 tons for the season last Canadian and American firms to allow Canadian vessels to transport cargos from one American port to another. U.S. ships were permitted to carry cargos between Canadian ports. No breakdowns of figures will be available until later but one ship- ping firm sald grain, iron ore and coal were the major commodities carried on the lakes. The shipper, who operates from the lakehead to Father Point on the St. Lawrence, sald that in former years grain had been the principal cargo and, when grain cargos were not available, many ships were laid up and crews discharged. But this year the movement of other com- modities by water increased to such an extent that grain no longer totalled more than all other cargos combined. The firm forecast good prospects for 1948 if the demand for iron ore, coal and steel continues. Grain will not keep many vessels busy until the 1948 crop begins to move next September, TRAFFIC TOLL 1 FATALITIES INTOTALOF 11 By The Canadian Press Wintry conditions with roads made dangerous by ice and snow were a factor in seven traffic deaths out of a total of 11 week- end fatalities in Ontario, The Canadian Press reported today in a survey. : s Of the four week-end deaths in the province, one boy was acci- dentally shot, a girl was found dead of a shotgun wound appar- ently self-inflicted, a man was fatally injured in a paper-mill ac- cident and another was a victim of a fall. Joseph Nesbitt, 42, of Kingston, died in hospital] Saturday after suffering a fractured skull in a fall through a hole in a pigpen floor. Thirteen-year-old Terry Wilcox of St. Thomas was killed Saturday by a bullet from a .22 calibre rifle while playing. The body of Jean Badgley was found last night in the kitchen of her parent's farm home at Frankford with a gun be- side her. She was alone in the house at the time. Stanley Metcalfe, 83, of Sarnia, was hit by an automobile as he was standing by his stalled auto on the highway near there yester- day. Mrs. Lily Gill, 70, of Petrolia, was killed late Saturday when she apparently became confused after stepping off a motorbus and walk- ed into the path of an approaching automobile. Dr. Ralph Christianson of Ham- ilton was killed yesterday in an auto accident near Trenton. The body of Jan Pomorski, Polish Army veteran, was found yester- day on the roadside at Lakeview near Toronto apparently the vic- tim of a driver who did not stop. Clifford Boomer, 35, died in hos- pital Saturday after a car collision near Simcoe, and Leopold Dun- comb, 72, was hit by a truck as he Anson Smart, 19, was killed crossed a road also near that town.

Polish Vets Here A Year A year ago, on Nov. 21 and Deg. 3, thirty-five Polish veterans arrived in Oshawa. to work in farms in Southern Ontario and in Durham Counties, These agriculturists and the fur- ther group of veterans who arrived early this spring, bringing the total in this area to over 70, have con- tributed greatly to the high level of farm production in the Ontario and Durham Counties, according to Na- tional Employment Service officials. A number of these Polish veter- ans, having successfully completed their first year's contract to work on farms, are now endeavouring to locate through the National Em- ployment Service another farm where they can work and broaden their knowledge of Canadian farm- ing methods. Classes in English language - are being attended by some veterans jn Oshawa, Bowman- ville and Sunderland on a night school basis to better prepare the veteran for the day when he may someday operate his own farm or follow some other line of endeavour. Local manager of National Em- ployment Service, L. Coulson, stated the men will be under a year con- tract and will be allocated to the new jobs as they. become available on a basis of date of receipt of re- quest and placing of order for help at the National Employment Service, Oshawa.

George Telford, chair. man, presiding, the Oshawa Ad- visory Board of the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind met in St. Andrew's Church November 26. H. Henry, district supervisor, read his report. The Oshawa board has placed its order for four talking book ma- chines for use of blind folk here. These machines have been very dif- ficult to get but it is hoped they will be procured very soon. The annual Christmas remembrance is to be sent out this year. Death of the Hon. W. E. N. Sin. clair, K.C,, M.P.,, came as a shock to the Board. He was honorary chairman for many years and he took a very active interest in the Institute's work. N. 8.

Foreign Affairs Analyst French Communists are receiving the support of a powerful but evil ally in their attempt to bring about the downfall of the hard-pressed government, and this ally is harsh privation, due to a serious shortage of many necessities of life. Of course there are cases in France where, if you have the money, you can buy almost any- thing you want, and the farmers in general are better off for food than are their town cousins, The rank and file in Paris and other cities are suffering a scarcity of bread, butter, milk, meat, flour-- and most other things, Parisians are trying to cook on gas stoves which are virtually with- out pressure because of the gas workers' strike, Equally bad, there is a terrible shortage of coal, due to the miners' strike--and already temperatures below freezing are warning of ap- proaching winter. Not only is much of the country shivering but in- dustry is gravely affected. Production Minister Robert La- coste says if the coal strike con- tinues many electric plants in Paris will be forced to close. Speaking in general of the several coal strikes France has experienced this year, Lacoste declares: "This is progressive paralysis of French economy. It will be very difficult to repair the wrong already done." There you have the picture as the Bolshevists press their attack. This brings the harassed cabinet up against the truism that the peoples of all countries generally blame the government when things affecting their way of life go. wrong. And of course the Reds are using the hard- ships as propaganda to try to stir the citizens to anger. The question naturally arises whether this situation is due to Communist strategy, I think the answer is that the war left France with a badly dislocated economy, and the Reds have exploited this for their own advantage. Certainly many, if not all, of the innumerable strikes are due to Communist influence. Explains Duties Good Citizen To K. of C. Group ------ A large number of the members of St. Gregory's Council, Knights of Columbus, attended communion mass at St. Gregory's Church at 9 a.m. yesterday. Following the service the Council adjourned to the Blue Room at Hotel Genosha for breakfast, when T. K. Creigh- ton, K.C.,, M.L.A,, gave a very interesting and informative ad- dress. on the duties and responsi- bilities of a good citizen and its Telationship to democracy and our way of life. In contrast to conditions that exist in other parts of the world, he pointed out that it would seem civilization had not progressed too far in respect to trye democracy as it embodies a principle of free- dom, of thought, speech and ac- tion, not permitted under despatic or dictatorship rule. He urged all to take a more active part in the exercise of the true principles of citizenship to promote democracy. The only way of life agreeable and acceptable to all good Canadians. In concluding his address, Mr. Creighton stressed a few points to attain this end, by having intelli- gent interest, future vision and thought in regards to the most good for the greatest number in both civic and public interest.

All of these boys have done very well in musical festival contest work, have won many awards and trophies, as well as three scholarships. They show a maturity in playing far beyond their years, and they are much fur- ther advanced than similar aged ensembles of brass instruments. Saturday night they will be fea- tured in a Musical Festival, in as- sociation with the local Songster Brigade, Sunday at 11 am. and 7 p.m, they will also delight their hearers. Accompanying will be Mr, Norman Wombwell, pianist, and William Gallagher, their teacher, If You Hear 'Beep' You're on 'Wax' Washington; Dec. 1--(AP)--A new of the line. Such recordings, which long have been frowned on by telephone com- panies, were legally approved by the federal communications commission for interstate and foreign toll calls. The commission tested all sorts of warning sounds -- from musical chords to startled shrieks--before it hit on "beep!" which is something like a busy signal, but higher in pitch and shorter, with political issues. Arab states, even though it may lead to bloodshed in the Middle East, demonstrated that the U.N. has the courage and resolution to handle "hot potato" controversies. The Assembly adopted the parti- tion plan Saturday by a vote of 33 to 13 to finish up its year's work after nearly 11 weeks of labor. The majority felt it was the best solu- tion offered, despite its faults. Only the months or years ahead will determine whether the fateful decision was for good or evil. A perilous new east-west division was created by this Palestine deci- sion--a political split between the Moslem world and the Christian- Jewish world, The Arabs in their fierce. opposition to partition were backed throughout by the chief Moslem countries, including Pa- kistan and Afghanistan. But the future alone will tell what this real. ly means or how far it will go. Could Not Agree From the beginning of the As- sembly until nearly the end the old east-west battle between the Rus- sian bloc and the western powers raced on a series of other issues. The differences remained, just as great as ever. Some of them seem to have been increased in the bitter debates. They cannot be disguised. On the Palestine issue, however, Russia sided with the United States and other western countries. But this was the lone exception. The worst unresolved dispute be- tween the majority and Russian- bloc minority arose over three is- sues--the 'successful establishment by the Assembly of the year-round "Little Assembly," The Balkan Frontier-Wach Commission and the Korean Independence Commission. All these proposals were adopted by large majorities and were major achievements, next to Palestine, by the Assembly. But the Russian group declared a boycott on the three of them. The "Little Assembly," created to facilitate the work of the organ- ization on many of its problems, will go ahead in the new year without the Slav sates. Having a "limited U.N." working within the frame work of the main organizatin creat- ed dangerous new possibilities but the Assembly did not shirk its de- cision. Sharp Debate The sharpest debate of the ses- sion took place over the Russian "war mongering" resolution attack- ing "criminal war propaganda," al- legedly being carried out by the United States, Turkey and Greece.
