The 10-point national program -- to be considered apart from almost 150 other resolutions on the agenda -- was drafted by the party's national executive and approved Wed- nesday by the national council at a pre-convention caucus. 4 Briefly, it calls for socializing 26-Pounder ts a weight-lifting task for Mrs. Elizabeth Found of Long Beach Inn, Sturgeon lake, to hold up this 26- Pp d skie hauled out of the lake by Norman .Wakeford, .Port Perry, and Michael Rooney of To- ronto.

Cragg, Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario Legislature for Parry Sound, died early today in hospital here. Death of the Ingersoll-born law- yer brought the first vacancy in Ontario's 90-seat legislature since the provincial general election last June 17. It reduced Progressive Con- servative representation in the new house to 52, with 21 C.C.F., 13 Lib- erals, two Labor-Progressives and one Liberal-Labor. A loser by 124 votes to Liberal Milton T. Armstrong in the 1945 tion, Mr. Cragg came back to 4 by 439 over Mr. Armstrong in e June vote. He has been keenly interested in civic affairs at Parry Sound, serv- ing as a member of the town council for three years and on the town's Board of Education for 'several more. He was President of the Parry Sound Board of Trade. Funeral will be at Parry Sound Saturday. banks, railways and a wide range of primary industries, including several touching on agriculture. Consideration of this program-- which the C.C.F. hopes to put into action during its first term in con- trol of parliament--will headline the three-day convention agenda. Selection of a national leader fer the next two years also will be considered, but with no candidates rumored to be opposing M. J. Coldwell, his re-election is con- sidered a formality. Wednesday Mr. Coldwell, in an interview, suggested a fall session of parliament, with mid-November mentioned as best time for the opening. He said External Affairs Minister St. Laurent should have an early opportunity to meet parliament in his new capacity as Liberal leader. Also, there were many things re- quiring attention of the govern- ment, including the rising cost-of- living. In an address to the Common- wealth Co-operative Youth Move- ment meeting, Mr. Coldwell said "monopolized industries which have been gaining strength at an alarm- ing rate" were threatening the world with a loss of its freedom. Debate whether the C.C.Y.M. should - become synonymous with the C.C.F. took a prominent place in the movement's discussions, with National Secretary David Lewis of the C.CF. the C.C.F. opposing such a move and Harold Winch, British Colum- bia C.C.F. leader, favoring it. Mr. Lewis said constant associa- tion with the older group would bring. the youth into the fold in their own time. Mr. Winch sug- gested membership in the C.C.Y.M. meant acceptance of C.C.F. ideas, with amalgamation of the two or- ganizations a natural result. No decision was reached. Jacques V. Morin of Montreal was elected President of the youth movement, succeeding Ron Moats of Riverton, Sask. Ethel Jacobs of Vancouver and Jeannine Theoret of Montreal were selected as Vice- Presidents. A resolution, proposed by Kam- loops' delegates, called for a $50- monthly old age pension. The orig- inal resolution had called for a monthly pension of $250. with the stipulation it must be spent each month. In addition to the cut, the stipulation also was removed.

The chapter was given by Mrs. Seymour which was very interest- ing, telling us there is one new language a month, but there is still one thousand more languages to be written, so there is a lot of work to be done before our Bible will be in all languages. Some pla- ces one copy of the Bible is all they had and so it was past from one to another and so nearly all had learned it all by memory. The American Bible Society is the greatest in the world, it is printed in 136 languages and was started in 1816. The Bible Society building now covers one block in the city. The Bible is the most unread and yet the best seller in the world. Tv takes 169-12 inch disc to record the Bible. Mrs. E. Wright gave a temper- ance reading.

Mr. Stuart, wartime administrator of hides and leather for the Prices Board and a member of a tanning firm, said there was a fear that leather prices were becoming too high for the industry's own good. He added that he would like to see the controls reimposed. "What good would it do you now?" Prof. C. A. Curtis, chairman of the commission, asked. Leather and hide prices have both risen sub- stantially since controls were re- moved in September, 1947. Mr. Stuart then admitted he thought reimposition now would be impossible, but added: "Wouldn't the public be ble to buy shoes more cheaply? I wish they had been kept on." In explaining the industry's de- sire for the retention of controls un- til world hide prices became more normal, Mr. Stuart said tanners were always concerned over the in- troduction of substitutes for leather. Earlier in the session another wit- ness, "C." Worrell Conway, Vice- President of Anglo-Canadian Lea- ther Co. Ltd., testified that demand for leather was lighter this year than last. Fewer shoes were being produced, he said, and more substi- tutes, especially rubber, were being used for soles. Mr, Conway testified under ques- tioning that his firm's profits in 1946 were 6.9 per cent of sales. In the first half of 1947 they were 6.5 per cent and in the first six months of this year had dropped to 2.68 per cent. The actual sales and profits were not disclosed. Financial statements which Mr. Conway produced for the commis- sion, after Prof. Curtis had ruled that private companies could not ke exempted from revealing financ' = details of their operations, are being studied by the commission and its accountant. So far they have not been made public. UNION RAPS COLOR BAR Wellington, Aug. 19--(Reuters)-- The New Zealand Waterside Work- ers Union today appealed to other Unions in the Dominion to protest against exclusion of Maoris from the New Zealand rugby team which will tour South Africa next year. A Union statement said the color bar did not exist during the war when Maori troops fought beside South Africans and urged the tour be abandoned unless the Maoris were declared eligible. THREE NEW MEMBERS The Ontario County Flying Club has added three new members dur- ing the past week--Jack Mothersill, John Henderson and Bob Whattam., 15 Per Cent Hike Effective Sept. 15 On Both | Railways Ottawa, Aug. 19 (CP)--Industrial Canada, with nighly= developed waterway and highway transportationn, will ba mainly affected by a 15-per-cent freight-rate increase pro- posed by the railways. § The boost, effective Sept. 15, is provided in special tariff supplements issued by the Canadian National and the Cana= dian Pacific Railways and now in the hands of station agents of both lines. It covers haulage of freight over areas where the rails meet transportation competition by ships and trucks. A spokesman for the Board of® Transport Commissioners said Wednesday night these areas cen- tred around "industrial Canada'-- Ontario, Quebec, the and British Columbia. | The freight-rate increase, he said, likely will be felt particularly | in Ontario and Quebec, but added | that the Maritimes and British | Columbia, where both trucking and ! waterways transportation are in-! volved, also will carry some of the load. The Transport Board spokesman | emphasized that the 15-per-cent | competitive increase proposed by | the railways should not be con- fused with their application last' month for an interim 15-per-cent | general freight-rate increase and a | permanent boost of 20 per cent. It | is not known when the Transport | Board will hear the application. ! A general 2l1-per-cent boost! granted last April applied to "all | three classes of freight-rate tariffs | --standard, special and competitive. | The increase added about $70,000,- 000 a year revenue to Canadian railways. On the heels of the railways' an- nouncement, an increase in truck- ing rates was indicated by J. O. Goodman, Canadian = Automotive | Transport Association General Manager. : In Toronto, he said he "wouldn't | be at all surprised" if truckers raise their rates "anywhere up to 15 per cent." Labor and equipment | costs have mounted steadily. ! Railway sources in Montreal, | confirming the 15-per-cent' in-| crease in competitive freight rates, | did not disclose the expected rev- enue from the new boost. However, in Ottawa, a Transport Board source said that competitive rates would mean only a minor increase in the railways operating revenue. Copies of the new competitive tariffs were sent to legal counsel and technical advisors of seven provinces--not including Ontario and Quebec--which have opposed the original 21-per-cent freight- rate increase. The advisors are meeting in Win- nipeg to prepare material to oppose the application last month of the railways for the permanent 20-per- cent increase. Toronto, Aug. 19--(CP)--J. O. Goodman, general manager of the Maritimes | | rates To Supply Berlin A top ranking supply expert, Maj.- Gen. George A. Horkan has been assigned as Chief Quartermaster of the U.S. Army European Command according to an announcement from Washington. Horkan, for- merly in charge of the return and burial of Americans war dead, will take over direction of operation "yittles," the airborne .freight .line supplying Soviet-blockaded Berlin. Automotive Transport Association of Ontario, said Wednesday night Ontario truckers may boost freight following the 15-per-cent boost in competitive rates announc- ed by railways. The increase announced Wednes- day by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways, cffec~ tive Sept. 15, applies only to areas where railways compete with trucks or ships. { Mr. Goodman said he "wouldn's [be at all surprised" if truckers raise their rates "anywhere up to 15 per cent." He said labor and equipment costs have mounted steadily. Consumers would not suffer une duly from the new rates because "the cost of transportation is only a small part of the final cost of an item to the consumer," he cone tended.
