FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FHREE ' Can't Eliminate Murder In Here's How Plan Works For Autos On Quota System (From The Financial Post) The Government's import restriction. plan for the auto industry began to take shape this week and the outline seemed to promise some rigid automotive belt tightening. For car-hungry Canadians, particularly those waiting for higher price models, the shape of things to come appeared to be anything but bright. Talks with some top executives suggest that it's almost certain that more expensive makes like Cadil- lacs, Packards, Lincolns and Buicks are go! to be almost as scarce as Stanley ers, . To a lesser degree, the outlook is gloomy for other less expensive im- ported . American cars, particularly new makes like Kaiser-Frazer. Some lines of small volume trucks are almost certainly to be discon- tinued in the industry's scramble to stretch its quota of US. dollars to the limit. The last resort will be to tamper with production of the low-price popular makes made in Canada. But if the dollar-saving program is as severe as some expect it to be, it might come to this. Even without this, 1948 supply is expected to be tighter than at any time during the postwar period to date. Those waiting for expensive makes will step down into the low- er-price class. is is expected to more than make up for those who 'have been priced out' of the low price market the by 25% excise tax. If production has to be cut also, things will un- doubtedly be considerably worse. The general quota plan which has been worked out is said to in- volve two important features: 1. Free, unrestricted imports of complete cars from countries which sold cars in Canada before the war but which never exceeded a 'certain general minimum figure. 2. A special arrangement for the one country (United States) whose sales to Canada exceed this mini- mum. (By this formula, it is hoped to give British car makers a break and let them .sell as many as they can in Canada.) Use Own Discretion The "special arrangement" cov- ering the U.S, is said based on' a fixed allotment of U.S. dollars for every manufacturer for every car he sold in Canada during a base period. . It is thought that roughly, this will be just about equal.to the amount of U.S. dollar content in the average made-in-Canada car (35% before the war). Once a company receives its. al- Jotment or quota of US. exchange, it will be free to spend it as it sees fit. Tt could spend the whole lot.on parts or the whole lot on complete cars, Presumably, the "Big Three" will have enough U.S. dollars out of such an arrangement to buy sufficient parts to keep Canadian plants roll- ing and probably some left over to buy Cadillacs, Chryslers, Lincolns, and Buicks, etc.; but not many. Howevédr, the independent . car makers, all of whom now import their cars complete, will probably find the 1948 going pretty rough. Already the industry has got wind of -the proposed plan and purchas- ing departments are hard at work trying to figure how to best use the US. dollars which are to be allot- ted, Signs in the Wind 'The 1948 pattern is by no means set, but there are signs in the wind. Trucks are one item the industry is looking at. Chances are that next year, production of several small- volume models will be dropped. Virtually all the parts for these are imported. This will save a good many precious U.S. dollars which could be used to buy parts for cars and higher-volume trucks. Some in the industry have also pretty well made up their minds that if the quota is as tough as e expect (a cut of 50%) they slash imports of big expensive cars to the bone to maintain Cana- dian production of popular models. The outlook, they fear, is any- thing but bright, American-made cars which have been coffipletely banned since mid-November are go- ing to be scarce for as long as the restrictions last, This in turn will make the whole supply picture A 4 tighter particularly if it means a cut in Canadian production. _In the meantime automobile men can find some consolation in the news that the Government - has agreed to cut the Canadian or Em- pire content requirement in Cana- dian automobiles from 65% to 50%. This does not mean any actual lowering of the physical Canadian content. Rather a temporary ad- Justment to allow for the fact that prices for American parts are con- siderably Ligher than Canadian, re. sulting ina lowering of the percen- tage content although the actual contént remains unchanged. Print Night Another print night constituted program of the Oshawa Camera club on Wednesday evening last at Adelaide House, ; The greater vproportion of the prints shown were made by the Junior members, who are to be gon- gratulated on their work. It proved rather interesting enthusiasm amongst the Junior members, for which the club has been striving for some time to accomplish. The sen- ior prints were not. too numerous, but their quality retained the usual- ly high standard. . The comemnts of the judges were given by Charlie oJhnson, and many interesting points relative to producing effec- tive' prints were brought out to the meeting to the- benefit of all pres- ent. The award for the print of the month was given to 'Birds 'of a fea- ther" by H. E, Murphy. . Other honour prints 'were ::"Fros- ty Morn" by Chas. Johnson, "Snow Fantasy" by Chas.

L. Fair gave a very interesting address on Junior Work throughout the county during the past year, and spoke to some extent on the trip which he took to Chicago early in December as group leader for the Ontario delegation to the 4-H Club Congress. He told of the generosity of the large firms in Chicago, who sponsored many of the banquets for the entire delegation, which con- sisted of 24 boys and girls from Ontario and about. 1500 boys and girls from the different States of the U.S.A. including Alaska. On the last day of the visit to Chicago the Ontario delegation was entertained by the International Harvester Company of Canada and they vis- ited the Breakfast Club while they were broadcasting from the top floor of the Merchandise Mart Building, which has a floor space of 93 acres, They also visited the Board of Trade Building where they | saw the grain pits in the grain ex- change while trading was going on. The next visit was to one of Chi- cagd's beautiful parks to see the Chrysanthemum show. There are 4% acres under glass in this park. From the park the party went to the International Harvestér Trac- tor Plant, where they followed the assembly line which was making the largest caterpillar tractors in the world, Ryerson Bears, county weed in- spector, and also the judge of the Clean Farm Competition, was call- ed upon. He complimented the boys on the fine work which they had done and expressed his hope that they would carry on the com- petitions.

After the banquet it was decided by the executive that the project should be carried on again, and all the boys who took part last year are urged to enter again and also any other boys who are interested. New members in the competition will have just as good a chance to improve their farms as the boys who were in this competition for the last two years. Amnesia Victim Dr. T.F. Nicholson Now In Hospital Toronto, Jan, 9--(CP)--Missing from his home since Tuesday, 48- year-old Dr. T., Frederick Nichol- son was found by police last night wandering along the highway east of Toronto suffering from partial loss of memory. "He admitted being very depres- sed and said that he had been wor- rying over his lectures at the uni- versity," said Chief Constable Moss of the suburban Scarboro Police Department, who called a doctor friend of the professor to take him to hospital. Dr. Nicholson is Associate Profes- sor of Pathological Chemistry at the University of Toronto. Dr. Nicholson told police that he remembered boarding a bus on the Kingston Road a few days back and thought he had been on the bus yesterday but he wasn't sure. He had last been seen boarding a bus on Tuesday. He said that he could not remember where he had spent the first night except that it was "somewhere north." Very Clear Two women were standing in the snow discussing the fuel shortage. "Yes, that's it," said one. "If we'd have got the cold weather, in the summer when it's warmer, instead of in the winter, we'd be able to do without a fire and save coal." ing to her father near the body. The girl's father denied that it could have been suicide and suge gested she had been attacked by some assailant while she was alone in the house, her parents having gone to church that evening. The first autopsy showed death was due to strangulation but this report later was corrected and at a second autopsy, Prof. W. L. Robin- son found death resulted from the bullet wound. Prof. Robinson told the inquest yesterday that death might not have been instantaneous. "It is quite possible for the girl ot have held the gun", he said. "Accidental shooting is a possibility. purely & pathologist I cannot eliminate mure der; that's the investigator's job. Prof. Robinson was one of four experts among seven witnesses calle ed yesterday with Coroner Dr, J. R. Scott presiding and Crown Ate torney B, C. Donnan conducting the questioning. The first post-mortem was cone ducted by Dr. C. B, Waite of Peter- borough who said: "In the original report I stated that the hyoid bone in the girl's neck had been broken, I originally thought that death had been due to strangulation. However I corrected this report which was given to the police." Prof. Robinson said death was caused by the gunshot wound in the head. The wound resulted in a brain hemorrhage and the post- mortem showed the gun must have been close to the head when it was fired. Possibility of accidental discharge of the rifle was small, according to ballistic expert Sgt. W. W. Suther= land, RCMP, Ottawa. There was a chance of it being discharged acci- dentally by a sharp blow on the fir- ing pin, if it had been loaded and trigger lowered in a safety position, He definitely stated that the bullet taken from the girl's head had been fired by the rifle found on the body. Durham Students Win More Honors At Kemptyville Five out of six Durham County junior farmers attending Kempt- ville Agricultural School won first class honors in the mid-term ex- ams at Christmas. The other stu- dent came through with second class honors, This is a remarkable showing in a student body num- bering 75 drawn from all over Ontario.
