He pictured Canada's defence aims as threefold--to pe ready to defend herself against sudden direct at- tack, to have a force Schecien and to act as a nucleus for ex- Sine and to "work out with other free nations plans for joint defence." Tells of Forces The forces now are 35748 or 85 per cent of the authorized recruit- ing strength of 42,150. The stress this year would be on development of the air force. Work will. be accelerated on a jet engine two-seater airplane frame being designed specifically for Canadian needs. Wing Cmdr. Skey suggested that Canada should urge British and American manufacturers to come here to produce planes for use by all three countries. This would be a move toward standardization of equipment. : Mr. Claxton said he did not think such a move would be economical. What Canada needed was a plane which would meet Canadian needs and work now was being done on such a craft. Gen. Pearkes said no Canadian should feel he is paying an undue amount toward national defence this year. Defence expenditures were less than the amount the gov- | ernment would pay out in family allowances. . Mr, MacInnis said Canadians could be thankful that the threat to peace was not of their own mak- ing. But it was difficult for Canada to prepare for the emergency with- | out adding to the emergency. Maj. Fulton, a veteran of the ce- cond world war, said Canada can- not afford to keep 'a strong per- manent army and urged that the stress be placed on the training of reserves. : If adequately trained, said Maj. Fulton, Canada could deter an ag- gressive Russia. Mr. Claxton said "it is only com- mon sense'" that a nation of 12,- 000.000 people could not stand up against the manpower and other Berwick, Eng.-- (CP)---Mrs. Mar- fon Gauld, who celebrated her 105th birthday, enjoys good health and can recall incidents in the mine.

B. Currey of Manitoulin Island. Miss Harrigan | is suing Flood for $5,000 damages for |dnjuries received in an auto accie |dent on the might of Dec. 8, 1946, near Brechin. A. W. S. Greer, K.C, counsel for the plaintiff and B. V. Elliot, K.C., | of Toronto, defense counsel, will ad- | dress the jury this afternoon and a | verdict is expected this evening. Two medical experts called) to | testify yesterday afternoon present- |ed contradicting opinions of the seriousness of Miss Harrigan"s in- | juries which included two broken | vertebrae and the loss of two teeth. | Dr. H..G. Armstrong, of Toronto, | said that in his opinion Miss Har- rigan would not be permanently handicapped by complications from | two vertebrae broken in the crash, | which. involved a truck belonging | to William Flood, of Huntsville, He said that he believed Miss Harri- | gan's pain to be at least partly a | "traumatic neurosis," rather than a result of her injuries. In con- trast, Dr. F. P. Dewar, also of To- ronto, contended that the broken spinal bones are responsible for the pain that the plaintiff still feels. The accident occurred on the road | between Brechin and Gamebridge when the car driven by Alex T. Dure, of Sudbury, in which Miss Harrigan was a passenger, struck a parked truck in attempting to avoid Flood's truck which was park- ed on the west side of the road fac- ing north with its lights on. Durée said that it was drizzling and foggy, and that the poor visibility cavsed 'him to think that Flood's vehicle was moving. He testified that he swerved onto the shoulder in order to evade the truck, and thus hit a second truck which was parked there. Dure admitted under cross-exam- ination that he had failed to apply. his brakes, but claimed that he did not do so because he knew the road well, and believed that there was ample room to pass on the shooul- er. | Flood and Angus Dunbar who was helping Flood to load some lumber on his truck, testiffed that there was na rain and that the fog was not dense. Dunbar said that al- though it was 11 o"clock at night, it was "just getting good and dark." cross-examination Flood ad- mitted that he had failed to place flares on the highway t6 warn on- coming autos that his truck was rarked on the pavement. He said he had not done so- because it had only been there for a very short time. Miss Harrigan testified that she had last two teeth, in addition te her broken vertebrae, as a result of the accident. She said that she was confined to bed with a frae- ture board for three weeks, and away from work for three months. "Even now," she said, "my back hurts a great deal in damp wéath- er, and my shoulders get tired very | easily." She testified that she has | worn a leather brace on her back | ever since she was injured, a period | of 18 months. Miss Harrigan's pere sonal physician, Dr. N. W. McQuay, and her dentist, Dr. James Devine, also testified as to the extent of | her injuries.

Too Much Interference By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE Even if we liked and agreed with the government's theory that it can | handle our money much better than © . do ourselves, we would be re- luctant to admit .h.at the change of handlers 'made much difference to the considerations ot inflation or deflation. There are so many more factors involved than the in- | dividual one that concerns the amount of free money that the gov- ernment is satisfied to permit us to spend for ourselves. the preceding year, and that wages gross national production 13 per| cent higher for the year 1947 than | for the preceding year. Knowing these facts and realizing that he is no better off, there is. a resulting wave of discontent among all work- ers, a feeling that working isn't worth while when it does nothing for you. The inevitable result is slow-downs, either as a policy or an individual practice, or another wave of wage demands. Either situation adversely effects the geéneral well- being of the citizen. Either rep- resents disorganization, discontent, | lower production, higher costs and | all the factors of inflation against which we were supposedly protests ing ourselves. One reason for this is the ettec- | One such item is that wages were tive and astute policy of govern-| a student at Boston Colege, scored up $68 millions in February 1947 as ment in turning businessmen and | seven victoriés pitching for the col- compared with the same month of executives into tax collectors.

No amount of argument will convince ! the worker that what he receives in his pay envelope is no. the total of what his employer is actually paying him. Whatever his knowl- edge of the facts, that is the dir-, ection of his thirking, and that direction is, ii. our opinion, more inflationary in effect than would | be the buying of satisfied workers on a market adequately supplied by the products of their work.

Breakfast Service To be well nourished you must be well fed. Only the physical strong can make their complete contribution to the world. There are many people who could lead more effective lives if they had a little more energy. Energy comes from food. Food, well-nourished bodies, civic service, are dependent on each other. Buoyant heath begins with breakfast. All too often this meal is skimped and it is difficult to make up for its lack at lunch or dinner. A heavy dinner provides nourishment for the hours when it is least needed. The only energy required at night is for breathing and the usual digestive and absorpe tive functions. 2 you can now ride exclusive tire-tube gripping traction . . . longer mileage, greater The New B.
