- before and they are going to be an . trial will open today. ~"Jlbargey and defence counsel James WEDNESDAY. JANUARY '14, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE yor pon ps PAGE THREE Predict Beef Prices Buyer Resistance Reduces Meat Sales Up to 40 Per Cent By The Canadian Press Canadian housewives are continuing to use buyer resistance as a weapon against high meat prices but it has been predicted that beef prices may be the next to rise. In Toronto, N. D. Roose, Retail Butchers' Association, past president of the Toronto estimatea that a spontaneous buyers' strike had reduced meat ® sales as much as 40 per cent --al- though some other butchers said the effect had been less severe. All but chers reported sales down, especially in such lines as bacon. See Increased Beef Prices Housewives in Sherbrooke, Que., balking at high pork prices, have reduced pork purchases by about 50 per cent this week. So far, there has been no reduction in prices there. Vice-President B. B. Warnica of the Ontario Beef Producers' Associ- ation predicted "an almost immedi- ate increase of 10 to 15 per cent in the price of beef." He said produc- ers would need at least $2 more than the $17.50 a hundredweight paid this week for weighty steers on the To- ronto Livestock Market. War veterans attending univer. sity in Toronto sent Veterans Mini- ster Mackenzie a brief which pro- tested against high prices general- ly. The Ottawa Board of Control, scheduled to discuss housing with Monday, decided it also would urge Reconstruction Minister Howe next govéthment action to reduce living costs, Quebec Milk Going Up Milk is going up one cent a quart in Quebec Province. The Montreal retail price will jump to 17% cents a quart from 16%. District milk producers at St. Catharines, Ont., said they were negotiating for an increase to 18 cents a fuart from 17%. High fruit and vegetable prices plagued many sections and in St. Catharines M. M. Robinson, secre- tary of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, said the blame lay with wholesalers who preferred to import United States produce rather than deal with domestic growers. When restrictions were placed on U.S. im- ports, shortages arose. Public Opinion, a tabloid issued monthly in Ottawa in the interests of the Progressive Conservative par- ty, sald editorially yesterday that the party did not favor reimposition of price controls as the way out of Canada's present high cost of liv. ing problem. It expressed belief higher production and subsidies on the necessities of life would bring down prices and reduce living costs. Victim Of Shooting Marmora Will Ask Charge Withdrawn Belleville, Jan. 14 (CP)--Sixteen-year-old Bernard Lloyd of Marmora, 28 miles north of here, charged with wounding his father with intent to maim, will appear in magistrates court in Marmora next Monday. He was remanded yes terday after a brief court appeargnce here, * The father said from his bed in Belleville General Hospital that he would exert every effort to have the charge withdrawn, The wounded man, 44-year-old Frank Lloyd, was said in hospital here to have a good chance for re- covery after an emergency opera- tion removed the rifle bullet fired by the boy during a family argu- ment. x The shooting occurred in the Lloyd home at Marmora, 20 miles north of here, early yesterday. The father said the incident arose from a misunderstanding, He and his wife had been quar- relling "but 1t was nothing serious, said the injured man. "The boy evi- dently heard us and came down- stairs to take sides with his moth- er. I had a few drinks. He joined in the argument himself for a few minutes and the next thing I knew he shot me with my rifle." The boy acted purely on impulse when he thought his mother was in danger, said the father, The bullet nicked Lloyd's right lung and passed through the liver. While the operation was being per- formed on him, the son was lodged in Hastings County Jail. Police said the boy ran barefoot through the snow to the home of Dr. G. Donovan, who called police. Hougham Warns Consumers Upset Over High Prices Torento, Jan, 14--(CP)--Consum- ers are becoming articulate as never organized factor with which we have to deal, George S. Hougham, Gen- eral Manager of the Canadian Re- tail Federation, told the federation's annual conference Tuesday. He advised retailers to do their best to sce that consumers groups had correct information on their various problems, There is resentment, Mr. Hou- gham sald, because of some sky- rocketing prices in some commodi- ties and a widespread demand for reimposition of price ceilings, and it is possible that if the present "ra. ther hysterical demand" continues, "it may become such that the gov- ernment will be bound to respect that wave of opinion." Rule St. Pierre Fit 10 »cand Trial Chatham, Jan, 14--(CP)--Charg- ed with murder of his elderly fath- er-in-law ©ct. 1, William St. Pierre, 34-year-old cab driver, last night was ruled fit to stand trial by an assize court jury here. Mr. Justice Jean Genest earlier had directed a hearing on the issue of sanity raised by the defence. The murder | St. Pierre is charged in connec- tion with the death of Joseph Mec- H. Clarke told the court yesterday that he had "serious doubts" as to LC Protests $1 Per Acre Sale Of Lots Oshawa and District Labor Council voted last night to send a strong protest to city council against any move to sell city- owned lots to industrial firms at a price of $1 per acre. 8 H, Atkinson said any such action would be utterly unfair and he urged council to protest imme- \diately. "When several delegates pointed out that no action had been taken by city council and that the mat- ter was merely up for discussion, Delegate Atkinson reiterated his demand for a protest before any action could be taken. "Why not let the veterans have the property at $1 an acre?" ask- ed William Rutherford. At Monday's city council meet- *~g, Ald. Rae Halliday had given . btice of motion that he would move at the next meeting that the city sell industrial lots to any legi- timate industry which has received the approval of the Chamber of Commerce for $1 per acre. Council backed a motion calling on the Dominion government to halt shipments of munitions of war to the Chiang Kai-Shek "regime" in China. In its report to council, the credentials committee welconied delegates from Division 1255, Osh- awa Railway Employees' Union (AFL), which has decided to af- filiate, Membership in the local is about 60, it was learned, The railway employees thus be- come the first AFL affiliate to seat delegates at the CCL-affiliated labor council sessions. The council is made up of 37 delegates and 22 alternate dele- gates from 13 organizations, the credentials committee reported. Delegate Thomas Hart, the council's representative on the C.R.A. capital finance committee, reported that the capital debt of the C.R.A. had been cut from $17,000 to $10,000. All labor council delegates together with members of their locals should vi- sit the C.R.A. headquarters and see the type of program being carried out, Mr. Hart advised. Council approved donations of $10 each to the following: United Polish Relief Fund, Hospital for Sick Children and the Religion- Labor Foundation, The auditing committee reported expenses for 1947 totalled $2,388 with a balance as of January 1, 1948, of $1,171.66. DISCUSS PRICE STABILIZATION Ottawa, Jan. 14--(CP)--Possibili- ties for future stabilization of agri- culture in Canada will be ohe of the main subjects for discussion at the 12th annual convention of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Brockville, Jan. 26 to 30, federa- accused's sanity because he had not the case. tion officials said last night. ] | White House. i Public | fined to tie top floor of the old six- been able to get any definite in- | sessions will be held Jan. 27 and 28 | storey- building, which is located on structions from him on conduct of while the board of directors will | Penusylvania Avenue West of the | meet in private Jan. 26, 29 and 30. | G. B. Miller Heads Board At N. Oshawa George B. Miller was elected chairman of the Board of Trustees for North Oshawa School (S.S. 11) following his election to the Board at the ratepayers' annual meeting last night. ~ Mr. Miller was elected for a three-year term, defeating the re- tiring Sharman, B. J. Stredwick, while ur Moffatt was elected to fill'the vacancy caused by the resignation of Frank Crawford. One year remains in this term. The third member of the Board is B. J. Brown who has completed one year of his three-year term. The meeting extended a hearty vote of appreciation to the former Mrs. Douglas McArthur, now Mrs. Charles Silver, for her service as secretary - treasurer since 1939. Mrs. Silver is no longer permitted to hold the office as she is now re- siding in the city. The late Mr. McArthur was appointed secre- tary-treasurer in 1932 and Mrs, McArthur succeeded him on his death. Moving the vote of appreciation, E. A. Tattersall declared that the school section was "surely losing a real asset to North Oshawa School Board," The Board of Trustees has de- ferred the appointment of another secretary-treasurer until its next spring meeting. To Build Fence At the suggestion of Mrs, Glen- ford Taylor the meeting approved erection of a fence across the front of the school property to prevent children from running onto the road. After considerable discussion it was decided to con- sult the county engineer as to its exact location. Meanwhile, the Board is to con- tact the Roman Catholic Cemetery | Board in regard to a passage | across its property for children | entering the school grounds from the south-east, It was suggested that a bridge should be erected across the gully in this area. Others were of the opinion, how- ever, that a bridge might consti- tute as great a danger'as that said to exist at the present time, While a number of those at the meeting would have had the wil- low trees along the front of the school yard removed as a danger to traffic, the majority favored an amendment moved by Mr. Tatters- all that the trees be trimmed and properly looked after, rank Leeg made the original suggestion that the trees be re- moved, expressing the view that they were "a hazard to traffic, to the wires and to everything else." He said the trees were bending over the road and when one fell recently it narrowly missed strik- ing a car. r. Tattersall declared, how- ever, that he considered it "the craziest idea anyone ever thought of to cut them down." Advocating trimming them where necessary, he said he was one of those who helped to plant trees around the property some years ago and he valued them. To his suggestion that the school property would look barren with- out them, Mr. Lee replied that this would not be the case if land- scaping were carried out after their removal. To Meet Architect Regarding the proposed addition to the school, Mr. Stredwick in- formed the meeting that the Board of Trustees was to meet the archi- tect, J. B. Parkin, at an early date to consider proposed modifications | in the plans to allow for a reduc- tion in the cost. When these were agreed upon a ratepayers meeting would be called for acceptance or rejection of the project. Mr, Stredwick said that modi- fication had been considered when it was intimated to the Board that the Ontario Municipal Board would not approve the $95,000 expendi- ture accepted previously by the S.S. 11 ratepayers. As a result it had been decided to eliminate air-conditioning and use cheaper hardware. It nd been necessary, however, to re- draw the heating plans and no estimate on the revised plans had been received as yet. The question of use of the school grounds for baseball in the sum- mer was brought up by Mr. Lee and a motion was carried to the effect that the North Oshawa ball team be allowed to use the grounds at times when this would not in- terfere with their use by the school. It was understood that the grounds would not be used for or- ganized ball on Sundays. The rink on the grounds, equip- ped with temporary lighting, was not ready for use, it was reported and the meeting was informed that a schedule for its use would I# announced at an early date. The chairman indicated that there would be opportunities for other groups besides the pupils to make use of the rink. 2 1 Killed, 1 Hurt In Hotel Fire At Washington Washington, Jan, 14--(AP)--One person was killed and another in- jured early today in a four-alarm hotel fire four blocks from the The dead man was identified as W. O. Hickox of Cleveland. Harold Sill, 49, a resident of the Potomac Hotel's fifth floor, was ad. mitted to hospital with burns, His condition was described as "good." Fire officials said the blaze, which was under control a little more than an hour after it started, was con- presidential mansion, Legislature Session After Huron Election Toronto, Jan, 14--(CP)--Queen's Park sources were quoted last night as saying the Ontario Legislature's new session would open either Feb. 18 or Feb. 19 but in any event the Legislature would not meet before the provincial by-election called for Huron Riding Feb. 16. The Huron by-election is to choose a successor to Dr. R. H. Tay- lor, Progressive-Conservative mem- ber who died last month, By opening Feb. 18 or 19 the legis- lature would have five full weeks before Good Friday which is believ- ed sufficient time to deal with all legislation. An amendment passed last year removed the necessity of members sitting for 30 days before being eligible for their full sessional indemnity of $2,000. The idemnity now is paid on an annual basis. ee Are Next In Line For Increases Doctors Keep Close Watch Gandhi Fast By G. MILTON KELLY New Delhi, India, Jan. 14 (AP). --Mohandas K. Ghandi entered the distressing phase today of his new fast for communal peace in India and Delhi, Physicians watched his condi- tion closely and did all they could to conserve the strength of the little Hindu patriot, who once more is placing his life in the balance for his people's welfare. His friends decided Jesterddy, when he started the fast, that i 5 | nothing would induce him to stop except the conviction that peace had been restored to this capital ¢ity and that the spirit of peace was fanning out into the rest of the country. Promptly they set the machinery moving to do this, fearful lest the weakened reserve of his vitality would fail under the fast before they could accomplish the task. Ghandi is 78. He has thousands of followers in the Indian sub-continent, divid- ed into the dominions of Hindu India and Moslem Pakistan last August and torn before and since by bloody communal riots among Hindus, Sikhs and Moslems. Since 11 a.m. yesterday, when he sent away the remnants of a simple breakfast with the an- nouncement, "if is time," Ghandi has taken only clear water sipped from a spoon in quantities regu- lated by his doctors. "Funeral Ship" Survivors Spent Day In Boat Halifax, Jan. 14 (CP).--The freighter Union Victory docked at a rain-lashed pier in Halifax har- bor at 7:35 a.m. E.S.T. today to land 27 survivors of the fire- ravaged United States "funeral ship" Joseph V. Connolly. With their only possessions-- the clothes they had on--the res- cued men from the Connolly lined the deck of the little Union Vie- tory as she berthed. The men told reporters some of their experiences in a ship-shore interview. They said the fire broke out early Monday in the engine roomt and spread rapidly through the ship. They fought the blaze for a long time and when it was decided to abandon ship they estimated they had an hour in which to leave her safely. y The hazardous task of launch= ing the boat was made difficult by the fact that some of the boats were in the immediate fire area. There was a heavy swell running. But only one man suffered burns from the flames. They were in the boats for 12 hours throughout the day and watched their ship blaze and smoke. : : Then the rescue ships arrived in the area and it was while taking the men from one of the boats to the Union Victory that one sea- man, precariously working his way up an icy Jacob's. ladder in the rolling sea, lost his balance and tumbled into the lifeboat, breaking a hip.
