The grants, which Prime Minister Mackenzie King said in announcing the move are intended as a step towards a national health service, were worked out mainly on the basis of estimated 1947 populations. They are topped by the $9,667,979¢- which Ontario will receive with Quebec next at $8,985,035, Britisn Columbia will get $2,529,153; Sas- katchewan, $2,001,742; Alberta, $1 - 968,738; Manitoba, $1,805,965; Nova Scotia, $1,541,779; New Brunswick, $1,226,052, and Prince Edward Island, $203,857. Thursday night Mr. Martin an- nounced the appointment of Dr. F. W. Jackson, Manitoba's Deputy Health Minister, as head of the new program. He will occupy the post of Director of Health Insurance Btudies. Announcement of Dr. Jackson's appointment and the exact grants available to the provinces was a major step in organization of the program, It now is open to pro- vincial authorities to apply for the grants on the basis of specific proj- ects and it was expected the first applications would be made in about a month. Ome grant--$100,000 for public health research--is mot being al- located on a provincial or popula- tion grant. It and the others actu- ally total $20,120,300, slightly more than the provision made by par- liament. The largest single grant is for hospital construction. Divided on a population basis, it makes $4,336,439 available to Ontario. ; "This is a "matching grant," avail- able if the provinces put up at least as much money as the federal gov- ernment. The hospital grant will be paid on the basis of $1,600 for each new bed provided for acute cases and $1,500 for new. beds for chronic cases. The amount paid from fed- eral funds is not to exceed one third of the total cost. The second largest grant is for mental health--$4,000,000 rising to $7,000,000 a year over a period of years. There will be a flat $25,000 grant to each province and the rest will be divided on the basis of populations. The government has allocated $3,500,000 for cancer control, again to be distributed for specific proj- ects to be advanced by the prov- inces. The grant will be divided on a straight population basis and On- tario will have available $1,167,503. The tuberculosis control grant totals $3,000,000 this year and rises over a period of years to $4,000.00. It will be divided on a slightly dif- ferent basis from the others. Each province will get a flat $25,000. Half of the remainder will then be divided on a population basis. The other half will be split up on the basis of the number of tuberculosis deaths, including those of Indians, in each province during the five- year 1942-46 record. The government allocated $500,- 000 each for programs to aid crip- pled children and to further profes- sional training of public health workers. Both grants will be divid- ed on the basis of a flat $4,000 Lo each province with the rest broken up by populations. To strengthen general public health services, such as the control of communicable dis- eases and the development of child and maternal health programs, $44,305,000 will be divided between the provinces on the basis of a straight 35 cents per capita. The amount will rise by five cents a year per capita until it reaches 50 cents a person. Under the new program the fed- eral expenditure on venereal dis- ease control rises from $225,000 to $500,000 and will be divided on a population basis. ¢ Kinsmen Discuss Motions Prepared For Convention At last night's dinner meeting of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, at the Cadillac. Hotel, the members ex- pressed their opinions on several proposals which will be placed be- fore: the National Convention of the Club, to be held in Edmonton starting on August 23. The Osha- wa represent:tive at the convention is to be President Jack Cooke. Among measures which are to come up before the convention is a request for a committee to inves- tigate the production of "Kin" ma- gazine. This publication is super- vised by Phil Holloway of the Osh- awa club, President-Elect of the Club for 1948-49. : Mr. Holloway defended the qual- ity of the magazine, as "the very best that can be done, considering that we are only working on this on a part-time basis." He said that costs of produ~tion of the magaz- ine are being kept very low, and that nowhere else could it be turn- ed out for so little. Although the magazine . was not originally in- tended to show a profit, but to be a service to members of the Kins- men Club, Mr. Holloway said that it has made money for the last six years. Some of the other resolutions which are to be discussed by the convention deal with voting privi- leges for life members, payment for the National Convention, voting by proxy at convention, and Conven- tion Representative. No Interference, Cripps Assures British Workmen By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, July 30 -- (CP) -- Sir Stafford Cripps talked fast Thurs- day in the House of Commons to soothe - British pride wounded by announcement of a proposed Anglo- American committee to seek in-| creased industrial production. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hastily reassured critical members the committee of industrialists and trade unionists will not mean that Amercians will be inspecting Brit- ish factories or telling old hands what they should do. It would discuss whether there could be a possible exchange of in- formation and of technicians which would benefit paritcular industries. "This is not a cure-all to evils but it is 'one which should be helpful towards attaining that end," Sir Stafford said. Oliver Lyttelton, former President of the Board of Trade, sald that Sir Stafford himself was to blame for "the very hostile" reception given the proposal. The country did not know what was proposed in detail and this time Sir Stafford must explain "a muddle of his own" instead of cov- ering up for his colleagues, Lyttel- ton told the Commons. Sir Stafford interjected that Lyttleton was trying "to make mis- vchief in America." 6 Prisoners Flee Burwash; Dunbar Says 'Carelessness' Sudbury, July 30 -- (CP) -- Six prisoners have escaped from Bur- wash Industrial Farm here within the last 24 hours. - , Four men made a break yesterday afternoon while working on a con- struction gang; one prisoner was found missing at roll call last night and another was missing this morning. : Yesterday's escapees are: Robert W. Dennis, 22, of Toronto, serving two' years less one day on a receiv- ing charge and a simflar term on theft charges; Douglas Miller, 21, Toronto, serving 12-18 months for assault with intent to rob; Harvey Frank Foreman, 22, also of Toronto, sentenced about a month ago to two terms of two years Jess one day for breaking, entering and theft, and Albert Denardo, 24-year-old Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., man, serving 18-21 months for theft.

The fast- ition in the (J1y20-23-27-30) missing at roll call. Atkinson was serving 12 months for receiving stolen goods and an additional nine months for uttering. Raspoli was sentenced in Hamilton, May 10, to 12 months for automobile theft and three months for stealing license plates. i Reform Institutions Minister George Dunbar at Toronto last night attributed the escapes to carelessness on the part of the guards. The group of four who escaped had been working near a gang of displaced persons employed by the Public Works Department on a building project. Late in the day, the DP's broke off work while they waited for their pay. In the resultant confusion, the four dis- appeared into the bush. The other two prisoners were in a physical training class exercising in the open, Wednesday evening. When the class returned to the dormitory, the guards failed to make a count and their absence was not revealed until the next morning. Mr. Dunbar said if the men attempted to hide in the vast expanse of bush which surrounds the institution, they would be driven out into the open by the flies. An investigation is under- way to determine what guards had been lax. . " Guest Conductor, Soloist Feature Band Concert A huge crowd jammed Memorial Park last night to hear the weekly concert 'of the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band, and to see several motion pictures which were pre- sented by thé Oshawa Film Council through the National Film Board. Heard as soloist with the band last night was Miss Leah Garrow, mezzo-soprano, and guest conductor was Martin Bounty, conductor of the No. 1 Royal Canadian Air Force Band during the war, and now of London, Ont. ' Miss Garrow was heard in tw groups of selections, and was best appreciated in the Vincent Youmans favorite, "Through the Years." She also sang "Bless This House," "I'll Walk Beside You," and "Alice Blue Gown," . Mr. Bounty conducted selections on the last half of the program, and the most popular of these was the march, "Death or Glory." Under his supervision the band also played two hymns, "Deep Harmony," and "Old Earth," and concluded with the regimental march, "John Peel." The rest of the program was conducted by the regular leader of the band, WOI1 Jack Broadbent. | Also on hand, although he took no part in last night's concert, was a WO Ed. Wood, a former resident of Oshawa. Mr. Wood is conductor of the Windsor Naval Reserve Band. The best of the selections con- ducted by Mr, Broadbent was a selection from Rossini's famous "William Tell." Listeners who were expecting to hear the familiar Over- for the selection did not include that very well-known piece. Other pieces which met with much applause were the community selection "Old Timers," the Batiste "Adante in G" and the march, "The Flying Squad." The opening num- ber on the program was the over- ture, "Morning, Noon and Night," and the band also played the waltz "Nights of Gladness." A cornet duet by musicians T. Broadbent and Ron Walker wi very well received. The selection they played with "Sandy and Jock." CRA director Ive Richards was the master of ceremonies, and he helped to pass the time while the movie screen was being set up by relating a few of his experiences with the band of the Ontario Regi- ment, during.the last war. One march, "John Peel." Present in the camp was another regiment which used the same march, and a con- test naturally followed. Although he could not claim that the Ontario Regiment had won the battle, which involved continuing playing of "John Peel" throughout most of the night, Mr, Richards did admit that the bands had succeeded in keeping him awake until nearly dawn. The only complaint which could be made about the movie presen- tation concerned the age of some of the selections. Although the sing-song picture and a Banff travelogue did not suffer much through time, the "feature presen- tation," a. hockey movie entitled "Hot Ice," was somewhat dated. It was made in the days when Leafs' | first line was made up of Syl Apps, | Bobby Davidson and Lex Chisholm, | and "Bucko" MacDonald was a de- fence stalwart. The Ranger de- fence contained "Babe" Pratt. The only player mentioned who has not now retired was "old reliable" Turk Broda. Despite the age of the pic- ture, however, it provided some very interesting shots of hockey action.

Morrison Secretary, Ontario Cream Producers To record the impression one gathers frcm a 12-cay visit to Hol- land, Denmark and Sweden in one short letter is quite impossible. A whele book could well be written but under the circumstances, one must be content with a few gener- al comments. In Holland, the people are indeed deeply grateful to Canada and to the part our boys played in their liberation from the Germans. On every hand this attitude was ob- vious. A Canadian cannot visit Hol- land and come away without a sense of pride in Canada and a de- termination to help make and keep | her name high in the eyes of the world. Holland is a remarkable country in many ways. I suppose every foot of Dutch soil -has been hand- led and placed where it is with a shovel. The tremendous amount of planning and work to reclaim her land from the sea is, in itself, a feat that only a people who have a real love for and an appreciation of the soil cculd ever do. Dutch farms are neat. There isn't a foot of land wasted and no weeds are tolerated. Field after field of good crops show that these people understand the soil and car- ry out good farming practices. The Dutch Friesian cattle which in general are not quite of the ex- treme dairy type as we know it, do show a great uniformity, indicat- | ing long years of careful breeding for production of milk eof & high butterfat content. Breeding stocks of the Dutch Friesian cattle are be- ing exported all over the world. The farmers themselves are' to | their | be admired, not alone for good farming practices, but for their farm organization which is outstanding in many ways. Thelr co-operatives which are under very able management are doing a fine job and through their own farm organization, they are constantly carrying on. research and experi- mentation in such fields as plant and animal nutrition and genetics. They are ever watchful for new and better ways of doing -things and efficiency is very important. Holland has some ten million people in a country that would eas- ily fit into western Ontario which means many small farms and there are many of their people who would like to come to Ontario to farm and should make fine itizens. The Dutch people's love for flowers is not on- ly evident in the country and vil- lages, but in the flowers io be found in every home. Denmark with its beautiful capi- tal of Copenhagen is another country of good farmers. Here again their farm organization, and co-operatives, working with their department of agriculture is in the lead in developing both the scien- tific and the practical side of farm- ing. In Denmark as in both Holland | and Sweden artificial insemina- tion is extensively carried on and | CASH! We Want to Buy a Good Building in Main Business Section of Oshawa Occupancy Within 2 Years All Replies Confidential Times-Gazette herd improvement will undoubted- ly result. The rolling countryside reminded one of Ontario and the very neatly kept and painted farm buildings with either red-tiled or thatched roofs form a picture one can never forget. The Danes have a long and col- orful tradition and are often com- mended on their advancement in education. It was extremely inter- esting to see first hand something of how this worked. Space will not permit going further into this field only to say in general that the re- farming, their whole co-cperative movement, their education and | their culture are all inseparable, I | | hope to say more on this gestion | | at a later time. Southern Sweden ductive and here is where most of the farming is carried on. Again, their farm organization is playing a very leading part. in the whole advancement of their agriculture. One is apt to think at times, that because a country is a long piece | away, that their status is not com- parable to ours. I would like to say here that in all * e important developments in practical farming, in the more scientific develop- ments in agriculture and, nore par- ticularly, in the field of farm or- ganization and co-operation we can learn a very grea' deal from Scan- dinavia. Just one example of the size of some of the projects here is re- flected in the fact that the co- operative milk organization in Stockholm employs trucks to the extent that if their daily mileage were totalled, it would be greater than the distance around the world at the equator! Stockholm is, of course, a very beautiful and mod- ern city and the Swedish people | are very cultured" and most hospi- | | table, | In trying to give briefly some of [ the secret of the high standard found in all these countries I would suggest understanding and loyalty in their organizations and the re- alization that efficiency is of prime importance. The practical applica- tion of this is reflected in the cali- bre of the men at the top. I have seldom, if ever, met any group of men as keen and able in adminis- tration and as genuinely concerned with giving sound leadership not only to their own people but, through sharing information and experiences with making farming throughout the world such that the forces which threaten our democra- tic way of life will never be able to gain headway because of our inef'" iency or inability to properly feed and clothe mankind. 50-53 PRINCE ST. sults seem to be that their good | is very pro- | Nfld. Group Asks Ottawa For Hearing St. John's, Nfld., July 30--(CP)-- Apparently having pulled its ranks together, the Responsible Govern- ment League Thursday asked Prime Minister Mackenzie King to receive a delegation from the league and hear its views. It was reliably reported Wednes- day that the league had split over the form of protest to be made shortly to top British and Cana- dian parliamentarians. Peter Cashin, one of the top leaders of the league, denied there had been any split. Other denials came from Secretary Wilford Col- lins and Malcolm Hollett, another member of the league. The request to Mr. King was in the form of a telegram, drafted after a joint meeting of the Re- sponsible Government League and the party standing for economic | union with the United States. In a protest Monday the league held that the small referendum majority for confederation with Canada--some 6,500--votes was not | decisive enough to take the country in union. Czech War Hero 'Will Live Here i | Montreal, July 30--(CP)--Chas- kel Bernstein, a 15-year-old war orphan who fought the Germans on the field of battle and tasted of brutality in a Nazi torture cham- ber, is coming to Canada to live. Decorated in the field for his military exploits, and acclaimed by the Czech government as a "na- tional hero," the youthful Bernstein is scheduled to arrive Sunday at Halifax aboard the Aquitania. It is expected he will be carrying the accordion he captured from a German soldier. | When Bernstein was 10, the; Germans killed both his parents as they set fire to the ghetto of Stanslawow, Poland. He fled with his 16-year-old sister Natalia, and after two years in hiding, the pair was adopted by a Polish regiment. Chaskel was made a drummer, Natalia a nurse. i But the young drummer was cap- | tured by the Germans, and sub- jected to torture. He deliberately gave them misleading information. Then, when they used him as a guide to the allied lines, he escaped and gave information which re- sulted in the capture of the German unit. For that, he was promoted to an N.C.O. and given Czechoslovakia's highest decoration.

The new price of wheat which is an increase from $1.55 a bushel re- sults from: the Canadian contract with the United Kingdom. It is ap- plicable to sales to Canadian millers as well, Government sources indicated a month ago that bread probably would be the first commodity upon which subsidies would be made to prevent a price increase. The subsidy; it was learned, may take the form of a refund to tne millers from the federal treasury. Action on other grains may be in oats and barley. Removal of the $5 ceiling on flax Aug. 1 was announced by Trade Minister Howe last March. He said this grain could be sold on ihe open market with the government giving it support should its price fall to $4 a bushel. There were also indications that the week-end's announcements may bring about some relaxation of Can- ada's controls on the export of caf- tle to the United States, rent re- strictions, limited imports of vege- tables and fruits from the U.S. und the prohibition or limit of imports of much industrial and commercial equipment. However, there was no govern- ment. comment on a report that it will soon launch a progressive re- moval of the 25-per-cent excise taxes imposed on a wide range of goods last November, CRA Children | Will Stage Show Next Thursday The CRA will .present a Play- | ground Children's program in the Bandshell at Memorial Park on Aug. 5, at 8 pm.
