The guest | of Rotarian Clarence Town, Mr. "mith was introduced by Merle Letcher, Port Perry, former Reeve of the village and ex-War- den of Ontario County. In his brief address meeting the speaker outlined several highlights in the life of a great German, Albert Sweitzer, who he said had Christmas in hjs heart all of the year. The speaker said that this was a most appropriate subject for his ad- dress due to the proximity of that season and also because the Ro- tary Club tried to have "Christ- mas in their hearts all year too." Mr. Smith explained that Sweitzer was a musician, theolo- gist- and physician. He said that he held fast to the belief that he could do mcre for the people of Africa, where he finally ended up, by practicing Christianity ra- ther than preaching it and that throughout his life fhe strove to this end. Mr, Smith said "that he, Sweitzer, believed that eciviliza- tion does not depend entirely on, scientific advancement but more particularly on the advancement made spiritually and ethically. The guest | day's luncheon of to the Conference Collapse No Surprise By DEWITT MACKENZIE | AP Foreign Affairs Analyst | The failure of the Big Four For- | eign Ministers conference in Lon- | don--a' complete and acrimonious | collapse--was a foregone conclu- | sion. | Ever since the parley began Nov. | 25 for the purpose of drafting Ger- Iman and Austrian peace treaties, | it has been a knock-down fight be- tween . Foreign Minister Molotov and the representatives of the three democracies--State Secretary Mar- shall, Foreign Minister Bideault and Foreign Secretary Bevin, the meeting drew to its bitter close Molotov charged that the western powers had formed a "common front" and had tried to heap every- thing on the head of the Soviet Union, but Marshall is quoted as declaring: "Three delegations at this con- ference have registered their will- ingness to 'take these decisions here and now. The Soviet Union alone refuses to agree." Well, what next? Indications are that Russia intends to intensify her drive to defeat the Marshall plan and extend her domination west- ward across Europe. This will be countered vigorously by the Ameri- can, British and French zones of Germany, leaving Russia in exclu- sive control of the rich eastern part of the dismembered Reich. In one important respect, Rus- sia- has received a distinct setback. When France entered. the confer- | ence she was maintaining a middle- | of-the-road course between the Soviet Union and the democracies. | Paris wanted to be friendly with Moscow. However, Molotov's un- compromising attitude and his vio- lent attacks on the western allies pushed France into the American- British camp. Undoubtedly France also was influenced by continuation of the use of strikes and other strong-arm methods by the French Communists in their efforts to un- seat the government. In any event, an almost complete rupture of re=- has developed. | be that Moscow has lost far more than it has gained by its methods in the Big Four conference. mk aviaiy RUBBER Liberia's rubber industry was first Xplore. by Europeans in 1898. like | lations between Russia and France | On balance it may well prove to Sentence Man for Car Theft, Theft of Money From Employer at yester- | Remanded last week until yos-| | terday for sentence on charges of car theft, theft of $140 from a former employer and causing a public mischief, Lloyd Pike, of Whitby, was sentenced to the Ontario Reformatory by Magis- trate Krank S., wnbbs yesterday. Pike was arrested two weeks ago in Cornwall after investigation of the story he told police there that he had been held up and forced £0 drive there from Oshawa by an unidentified holdup man, Pike received one year definite and six mnoths indefinite on each of the car theft and money theft counts and six months definite on the charge of causing a public mischief. The sentences are to run concurrnetly, Evidence presented at the accus- ed man's earlier hearing was that he had borrowed a car be- longing to @is employer, a farm- er in the Whitby area, for the purpose of driving to Oshawa, In- stead Pike continued on his way to Cornwall where he reported to police that he had been held up in Oshawa and forced to drive his assailant to Cornwall, Following his arrest, further investigation resulted in the charge of stealing $140 from a former employer in Lindsay last July. Pike made no comment when sentenced by the magistrate yes- terday and his only defence pre- viously had been that he had taken the car 'on a goose chase throughout the country." Asserting himself very strong- ly on the apparent lack of inter- est displayed by Whitby electors in the election of school board trustees on Monday, Deputy Reeve Duncan B. McIntyre, at last night's meeting of the coun- cil, said. that he believed it was a shame to spend so much money on an election with so many local citizens apparently disinterested in the outcome, Mr, McIntyre was referring to an of nearly $500 for the printing of voters' lists. "It seems a shame to me that Whitby people are so disinterested in public affairs," he said. "We spent nearly $500 for the benefit of less than 300 people who wish- ed to vote on Monday. It would almost be possible to buy the votes for that much money. It works' out to nearly $1.50 ex- pended for every vote cast." Town Clerk Jack Frost said that the voters' lists would be used again for the by-election which should be held shortly. In a confusing piece of action at the meeting, council requested officials of Price Yards Lumber Company to take down a fence that was erected across the north end of Pine street and move it back some 30 feet so that parked vehicles would not hinder the use of a driveway adjacent to the fence. The motion passed by council indicated that Price Yards could continue to use Pine street in the operation of their business so long as they move the fence. In the next breath council passed a motion requesting the town so- licitor to continue to press a suit against the company for the re- moval of all obstructions on the street. A deputation from the com- pany previously had sought per- mission of council to purchase the part of Pine street used at present by their firm, RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N., Whitby Tel. 707 Earn Christmas Money ow TIMES-GAZETTE CARRIERS Wanted for Whitby | Apply-Miss G.

During the course of the evening spokesmen for the variows groups in attendance briefly addressed the gathering expressing their appre- ciation for the invitation extended to them and pledging their fullest co-operation during the coming year. Francis McIntyre, representing the Whitby Board of Education, stated that the past year had been a big one so far-as the School Board was concerned and although the Board was criticized several times during the year he said that -he felt that the result of the vote held { Monday in which Whitby ratepay- ers approved of an expenditure of $125,000 for a school in the north west ward, was significant and in- dicated that the Board had ac. complished something to the ad- vantage of the town during the year, Deputy-Reeve Duncan B. McIn- tyre, speaking for the Council, said that he wished all Whithy citizens would remember that EN a major portion of the town funds would be in the hands of the school board and P.U.C. for the construc- tion of a new school and sewage disposal plant. He appealed to the members of those two bodies to use discretion in spending the money so that the Council could tell the electorate at the next election that during 1948 Whitby had been pro- vided with the best in schools and a fine new disposal plant, William Pringle, chairman of the Whitby P.U.C., pledged the full co. operation of his office to the Maver and Council for 1948.

At the conclusion of the dinner the Council retired to the Council Chambers for their last regular meeting of 1947, on November fourieenth 'at the home of D. A.
