However, few of them know that before settling down here he travelled with a vaude- ville act, trained wild animals and won championships with his entries in dog trials. Mr. Nanson made the news again recently when he exhibited what he believes is the only Siberian shepherd dog in Canada. The dog is a five-months-old pup that re- sembles a bear cub with fluffy, jet- black hair, but he already is as well-trained as the average sport- ing dog is-at a year. It took Mr. Nanson 10 minutes to hide a glove. When he released the pup, it was back in less than two minutes--with the glove dang- ne in his mouth. anson never uses a stick or a whip on his dogs--he merely says "hurry" when he wants them to start. If they don't obey as quick- ly as they should, he says in his broken English, "What did you done? I tell you." The pride and joy of the Nan- gon household at the moment is not an unusually smart pup or a show dog--but six two-weeks-old puppies that have been cross bred 80 they will not lose their hair.1 The mether of the puppies was brought from Siberia. Nanson has trained several kinds of animals, including lions, leo- pards, horses, elephants and even a cat. He finds the easiest animals to train are dogs, horses and ele- phants. Once rated as one of the best animal trainer" in the wrld, Mr. Nanson now lives in a log house on the outskirts of Edmonton, He finds life peaceful here and is en- gaged in horse-training at present. Someday he hopes to re-enter the Show world with another famous og. TWO ARE POISONED Bancroft, March 16--(CP)--MTr. and Mrs. Daniel Goodwin and son Karl of Maynooth Village, 15 miles north of this Hastings County cen- tre, were stricken yesterday with ptomaine poisoning. .Mrs. Goodwin was rushed to hospital here for treatment. It is thought the pois- oning resulted from eating porridge held over from a previous day's cooking. Speaker From Port Credit Was Here On Sunday (CONTRIBUTED) J. Sproule, President of the Port Credit Branch, British Israel Fed. eration, was the speaker at the Osh. awa Branch monthly meeting on Sunday March 14. His subject. was "British Israel and the End Time." From the thousands of letters pouring into headquarters as a re. sult of the radio broadcasts from coast to coast, it was learned that many who believed the Bible found it a closed book, until they found the key, through British Israel truth. Modern scholarship has fail. ed to declare the difference between Israel and Jewry. It is unscriptural to uphold the view that the Jews are God's cho- sen people. Jewry was not the in. heritor of the promises :made to Israel. The Jews were cast off and the Kingdom given to-a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. The Anglo.Saxon nations have been doing the work that Israel was to do. Nationally, the Jews were scattereq and broken in AD. 70, never to be a nation again. Indi- vidually, they may come into the Kingdom through Christ, the Door, When they rejected Christ, they re- jected the kingdom. There is a vast difference be. tween the terms "Jews" and "Is. rael". Israel was to be multitudin. ous. The Jews bereft of child. ren Isratl was to be called by a new name -- the Jaws still claim to, be the chosen people, Israel was to have a new home in the appointed place, while the Jews were to be scattered throughout all nations. Israel was to come under a new covenant. The Jews have remained under the old law. The nations of the world have been weighed in the balance and" found wanting. In a world rapidly heading up to a terrible climax, it is very important that we take stock of ourselves, and see where we stand. Men and nations have tried almost everything, Comprom. ise with Russia is useless, for she takes all and gives nothing, and is bent on world conquest. It is the time of the assessment and judg- ment of the nations. It began in 1914, It has been one long war, though we speak of world wars, 1 and 2, and now, a possibe tlhird. There were periods between, to give us an opportunity to repent. The prophet Daniel saw the beginning of these days in a vision. The year 1335 on the Mohamme- dan calendar corresponds with our year of 1917 and was an important time mark in history. The genera. tion which saw the deliverance of Jerusalem (1917) was to be blessed. There have been wars, rumors of wars, bloodshed, depression, want! How, then, were they to be blessed? "This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled", said Jesus. We have seen the thrones cast down, All the thrones left today are of the lineage of David. Of the dictators, Hitler and Mussolini ere gone. Stalin remains, a constant threat to world peace. The world is rapidly dividing into two camps, Rightist and Leftist. Prophecy, which is history prewritten, shows that the custodians of the Holy Land have all been of Israel stock. Ishmael, Abraham's first child, fore. told by God, (like Isaac) was the forefather of the present day Arabs; They did not possess the land by Divine inheritance, but were grant. ed tenure. Then there were the Saracens (or Sarali's sons) follow. ed by the cruel Turks, or Idumeans, Esau's children, trying to wrest away the birthright. "Esau", sald the prophet, "is the end of the age, and the beginning of it that fol- lows." It is, indeed, the time of |p Jacob's trouble. The Armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, was a trumpet blast to Christians. The eleventh hour had begun, We are now on the very threshold of the midnight hour. "When !ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the door (Matt. 24, 33). Of that day and hour knoweth no man, but we are told to watch! "Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his gar- ments." (Rev, 16, 15). Legislature (Continued from Page 3) was right, The member said he brought the point up to remove any possibility of becoming a prece- dent for future rulings. Later, A. A. MacLeod (LPP. -- Toronto Bellwoods) declared that Labor Progressive pills were not called in order as reqUired in rule 31 of regulations governing procedure, The Speaker said it has been the practice of many years for the lead- er of the House to decide in at order bills may be called. It been practice long enough to give it the "authority of a rule." Mr. MacLeod said it was "grossly unfair" that a member, after giving study to the regulations as laid down, should be confronted with a rule based on precedent about which he knew nothing. Hint Arms Plant May Be Re-Opened Toronto. March 16 (CP).--The Evening Telegram of Taronto says today that small industries renting space in the government-built Small Arms Ltd. buildings at sub- urban Long Branch have been in- formed they may continue to rent space only on a day-to-day basis. The paper says this support rumors that the plant is to be re-opened. Former employees of Small Arms Ltd. and of Research Enterprises at suburban Leaside, a second gov- ernment-built munitions plant, have been questioned about their pre- Sent employment, the newspaper said, The Small Arms plant was built in 1941 and produced rifles and Sten guns during the war. At one time 1t employed more than 6,000 persons.

However, after considerable worry and a lot of economising, they have announced that tickets this year will be only raised in price very slightly for the better seats. There will be two prices in effect as usual, $1.00 end $1.25. In addi- tion there will b a childrn's matinee for 35 cents for.the kiddies which will cut down the family overhead. These prices are only a slight in. crease from last year and the lo. cal club is absorbing the differ- ence, A comparison with other ice shows in other cities throughout Ontario show that the locals are by far the most reasonable, Nearly IN Prices For Ice Frolics Remain Very Reasonable all of the skating clubs scale their tickets from $2.50 down to stand- ing room at $1.00 or even higher. Several of the out-of-town clubs have enquired from the local club as to its method in pricing tickets so' reasonable and cannot under. stand how the Oshawa club breaks even on the project. The secret is that the club mem- pers do £ lot of gratis work and ex- penses are kept to an absolute minimum. Sets are built as econ. omically as possible and local agen. cies co-operate as nfich as possible. The Oshawa prices as a result are the lowet in Ontario and yet the how it ranked with the best offer. ed anywhere in Canada. An announcement regarding the opening date of ticket sales will be made soon and mail orders are now being, accepted.

They assumed that a Communist-led Italy, like other Communist-led states, would keep out the plan. Italian Com- munist leaders have said as much. L'Humanite, French.

Tass, the Soviet News Agency, said: "Journalistic circles empha- size that the Paris conference will be used by Bevin and Bidault to draw into a military bloc several other countries besides Britain, France and the Benelux countries." Most of the Foreign Ministers will leave for home tomorrow. The "work group" of officials will stay for weeks, however, to hammer out details of the projected accord. Foreign Minister Bidault of France came down to cases on what the. charter should do. Outlines Principles "To be fruitful," he said, "that accord must incorporate precise principles concerning the develoff® ment of production, its harmoniza- tion and the concerted exploitation of pooled resources, following a rational division that will not hurt national independence. "The moderation of customs tar- iffs, when a customs union is not immediately possible, the interna- tional organization of availabie manpower, the specialization of in- dustries and their complementary organization can and must enter notably into the goals sought in such a common accord." This union would overlap a series | of other blocs which have developed in non-Communist Europe. It would also differ from them in purpose. They are: 1. A Scandinavian group includ- ing Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. This bloc is based on high living standards. common economic interests and common fear of Russia, 2. Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, well on their way to a Benelux economic union, 3. A revived 'cordial under- standing" between = Britain and France, based largely on common democratic ideals and problems .of common defence. : 4.

London, March 16~--(Reuters) Field Marshall Viscount Montgom. ery, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, was criticized in the House of. Commons last night for his in. formality in dress. Col. Gomme Duncan, Conserva. tive, urged War Minister Shinwell, "to persuade the Field Marshall to go about dressed as a Field Marshal and not in dress which is not laid down in any regulations of the re. gular army." Shinwell replied that he regarded the Field Marshal's dress as 'most picturesque and atiractive," YALIIVS ONIIW | Monty's Battle Dress Criticized In Commons - Duncan retorted that the dress was entirely outside the regulations, and asked: "Is it right that the private sol. dier and officer should have to comply with the regulation and not the Chief of the Imperial General Staff." Shinwell said that he would have to look into the precise regu- lation, adding: "If the Chief of the Imperial General Staff is to be castigated--well, we shall do it in private."

"The operations were not exten. sive," sald Magistrate Ebbs. Det..Sgt. A. Alexander told the court he had conducted a search on accused' premises January 31,. and found a 7.65 m.m. automatic pistol "hidden amongst scme cold drinks." He said Rosnik did not produce a certificate of registration on request. His Worship ordered the weapon confiscated. When asked by Defénce Counsel A. F. Annis, K.C.,, why the search was carried out, Det.-Sgt. Alexander said, "We have been keeping the place under observation for some time." Further gvidence was that ano- ther visit made on February 21 when a book of Kentucky Derby sweepstake tickets was found. Two tickets had been sold and accused' name was on the stubs. Assessment (Continued from Page 1) ment was not based on the number of people living in a house. "Should ratepayers not have been informed about this radical change in the system?" inquired one of the taxpayers. "No, it was in the press," answered the Reeve. No Right To Dictate "The council has no right to dic- tate to the assessor ,.. I think he has done a good job .., You have the right to see the assessor on anything you think he has been unfair about, and if you do not get | satisfaction there, you have the | Thomas explained. "We're not allowed to see the roll," one man claimed. "You should be. They are pub- lic," retorted the Reeve. A number of the ratepayers sharply criticized the method of handling the assessment system this year, and claimed that Stewart Sparling, township assessor, had not properly cartied out his duties. Many flatly stated that he had not been inside their property. | Mrs, S. Williamson of College { Hill, complained that she was assessed to pay $200 a year for land 70 by 110 feet, of which I can build on only 50 feet. It cost me $150 in 1929 and when I complained to the assessor, he said it, should have been $185 but that 300 was easier to work with." Boisterous laughter at this point held up the meeting for several minutes and several men and wo- men shouted, "He can only work with round figures" and "why doesn't he come out of the office?" Deputy*Reeve Noble quickly de- | fended Spalding with, "There are {3,300 houses to assess. It's one big job. Sometime in the past three years I can assure you that the assessor has been in your house." | "Mr, Wilber (previous assessor) |came around every year," inter- | rupted one woman. | The council has a right to break | the job up over a period of years, | Mr. Noble replied, and stated that it would have bee too expensive to undertake the task in one year. Some Not On Roll Mr, Thomas was in sympathy with the Deputy-Reeve's remark, and explained that when the new system started they found that there was property that was never on the roll, and for which taxes had never been paid. "We made 1,000 searches," he said. The Reeve asked for the voters confidence and patience with the council plus the under- standing that they were striving in the best interests of the commun- ity and those that live in it. We are aiming at an equitable assess- ment system," he concluded. John Labrash, College Hill, de- |manded to know why those who had paid cash for their share of the water installation charges should be required to pay a yearly water tax rate of $1.58 and also what had become of the $750 gov- ernment grant for this work? "It isn't 'shown on township books," Mr. Labrash asserted. Mr, Noble explained that it had been put towards the $3,000 that the township paid and asserted that Mr. Thomas and himself were instrumental in' getting the grant in the first place by a personal visit to Queen's Park, "There's nothing shown in your books," insisted Mr. Labrash. "OK." replied Labrash, "I pay for lights and get water." Committee Appointed Prior to adjournment the rate- payers voted into office a commit- tee for the purpose of forming a ratepayers' association for school section 10. On the committee are Al Teno, chairman, Joe Childe- hose, C. Game and R.

He had been shot through the right temple. Although police have launched a widespread search and have ques- tioned numerous persons, residents remembered the still unsolved death of another taxi driver in Pembroke. In January, 1945, 17-year-gld Ar- thur Seelinger was slugged\Wth a 22-inch length of iron pipe on the axe factory road southeast of Pem- broke and died in hospital without being able to disclose the name of his assailant. Among those questioned yester- day was an Minidentified man who, according to police, owed Edwards $1,000. A resident of the district, he was reported detained by police who declined to say whether any charge had been placed against him, Although word of Edwards' death quickly spread from house to house, it was successfully kept from his young widow for eight hours. Edwards was found by a fellow cab driver, drawn to the motion- less cab when he believed mech- anical trouble had stalled his bud- dy on the lonely road. Some of the towanspepole's com- plaints centred on the reported slowness of the police. Inspector T. W. Cousans, of Perth, Ont. did not arrive until six hours after the body was discovered and the body itself was not removed until two hours later. Yesterday, Inspector Cousans was joined by Inspector Robert Wannel of the Criminal In- vestigation Department. Level Crossings Toll Is 182 Dead 638 Hurt In 1947 Ottawa, March 16 (CP)--Stop! Look! Listen! Failure to act on the traditional warning at level crossings last year killed 182 persons and injured 638, the Board of Transport Commis- sioners noted in its annual report today.

The bulk--367--hap. pened at unprotected crossings. Railway accidents investigated by the board during 1947, caused the deaths of 418 persons and injured 3,023. There were a total of 2,533 railway accidents, 395 more than in 1946. The report also disclosed that locomotives caused 502 fires along the 13,685 miles of line which runs through forest country, despite the special anti.fire patrols maintained by the railways. The fires burned 15,800 acres of timber and buildings valued at $35,002, : The commissioners noted that of the 159 days spent in public hear. ings, 150 were devoted to the rail- ways' application for a 30 per cent increase in freight rates. More than 99 per cent of the 2,374 applications and complaints which came before the board were disposed of without public hearings. Most of them were minor.

The doctor then explained about the Bible and the work and love that went with it into villages like the one that the untouchable lived in. This family gradually grew to love the Bible and became Christian; because they believed in the Bible they were 'ordered from their home by the village elders. The family went to the next village where they had some Christian friends and were given a plot of 1and of their own where they worked out a much better living then they ever had in their old village. The children went to a Mission School where they learned to read, and the young lad went to a Chris- tian college where he learned to mingle with boys of other races and creeds and studied law and the sciences. Today he wants to take what he has learned and help to awaken India to the love and happiness that the Bible brings to the people of the world. Mr. Young was introduced by Rev. D. B. Langford.

'athe White House simply an- nounced that Truman will discuss the "foreign situation." Withgut any hint of what the President has to tell them, legisla= tors generally directed their thinke ing along these lines: . 1. There may be new Soviet ex- pansion plans, possibly directed at pushing past Finland toward the Scandinavian countries. 2. Thsee may involve a Russian gesture toward defence pacts with Norway, Sweden and Denmark -- the sort of treaty Finland is in the process of being forced to swallow. 3. If any such moves should prove successful, they might help swing the April 18 Italian election to the Communists, 4. After Italy, whatever the out= come there, the Soviet Union may | turn its attention anew to Turkey. Meanwhile, the Swedish defence staff was said in Stockholm dis- patches to have asked King Gustav V for measures to strengthen that | country's defences. The staff | stressed "the nicreased danger of war," In Washington, some officials (saw trouble ahead for Turkey in | the word that Moscow is going to | fill its leng-vacant ambassadorship |in Ankara. That post has been empty since the Kremlin let up in its campaign ef more than a year ago to win a voice in control of the Dardanleles and gain other con- cessions from Turkey. Some quarters regarded the Pre- sident's talk as most likely to be a summing up of world conditions-- without any finger-pointing at spe= cific Russian actions. Council Approves (Continued from Page 4) brought a tie vote .and Deputy- Reeve D. B. McIntyre, who was in the chair at the committee-of-the= whole session, cast the deciding vote in favor of the motion. The two other costly extensions | dropped from the list were those | on Dundas Street West to Picker- | ing Farms and on Henry Street | between Ann and Colborne Streets. | These would have amounted to | 8,400 and 3,812 feet respectively. Council also voted against car- rying the Dundas Street extension s far west as the Spruce Villa Hotel. Twelve extensions were granted, servicing a total of more than 20 existing properties. They covered applications received from June, 1946, including that on Dunlop Street to the tannery. These are on Dunlop Street, | from Green to Peel Street; Kent Street from Walnut to Chestnut Street; Burns Street from Green Street to a point 174 feet west; | 150 feet on Colborne Street to | service Whitby Cleaners; Euclid Street to 460 feet west of Chest- nut Street; Ann Street from Cen- tre to Henry Street; Palace Street from Dundas to Mary Street; King Street, from Ann to Burns Street: Maple Street, from Byron to Cen- tre Street; Kent Street from Beech to Maple Street; John Street from Kent to Euclid Street, and Mary Street from Pine Street to a point 450 feet east.
