It had its inception in July when the pow- erful, Moscow-dominated Commu- nist Information Bureau split with Tito, charging him with maintain- ing a "hateful" policy towards So- viet Russia and with departing from the Marx-Lenin philosophy. Tito has denied the allegations and declared his devotion to Stalin. However, at the same time he has made it amply clear that Yugoslavia is running its own show. Moscow is bent on breaking Tito, and the latest development in Yugo- slavia's charge Romanian officials are trying to foment revolution for the overthrow of Marshal Tito's regime, Now there are several significant points which emerge from this sit- uaation, In the first place it is obviqus that Russia contemplates no individuality for her subject states. They must toe the Moscow line precisely. Apropos of this the Times in London Thursday said the Russians' response to Yugoslav defiance, by clamping their grip more tightly on their other satellites, has the great- est significance for the west. The warning .of long-range Communist planning, harnessed to Russian for- eign policy, should be recognized in good time. The newspaper says it is more than ever necessary that plans for a Western European Union should be put into practice. Another point which we shouldn't overlook is that Moscow is handling the Tito case by indirection. In previous instances where puni- tive measures have been taken, Moscow has done the job itself. Why now does it hand the task to others? Well, in the first place it may well be Russia is making a virtue of necessity. That is to say, it prob- ably would take force to oust the Tito regime, and Moscow isn't pre- ( pared to stick its neck out that far. It prefers to try to create a situa- tion in which Yugoslavs themselves would revolt against their leader. In short, Russia's red empire al- ready is showing signs of being un- wieldy and hard to manage, HEAT KILLS 2 IN N.Y, New York, Aug. 27 (AP)--The temperature soared to 100.8 degrees at 3 pm.

London, Aug. 27-- (Reuters) -- A Foreign Office spokesman today des- cribed as "ill-tijmed and irrespons- ible" the Communist demonstrations in Berlin which prevented scheduled meetings of the city assembly Thursday and today. ; The matter was considered to be only of local significance, the spoke- sman added, and was not thought likely to influence the four-power discussions still going on in Mos- cow. London political quarters, how- ever, saw the demonstrations as be- ing most carefully timed by the Communist Socialist : Unity Party, with the aim of gaining control or at least splitting the city adminis- tration before any four-power sup- ervision of the currency question could be fixed in Moscow.

A five-man coroner's jury Thurs- day heard four hours of evidence and the testimony of two Toronto esgineering experts. After 20 min- utes of deliberation, it announced its verdict: "We are unable to determine the cause of the collapse of the bridge section." The six men, Ontario Hydro-Elec- tric workers, were rigging the 170- foot span astride the Ottawa River 40 miles northwest of Pembroke, when "a noise like a rifle shot" was heard. Witnesses said the bridge ap- peared to buckle in the middle, The accident occurred July 21. Bodies were recovered, The victims were Edward Picotie, Romeo Chapu, Eli Bertrand, his cou- sin Aldamore Bertrand, Roy Mc- Donald and Amie Jette, all of this district. Since circumstances surrounding the deaths of all six were idengical, coroner Dr. J. C. Bradley of Pem- broke conducted evidence only in the case of one of the victims, Ed- ward Picotte. Dr. A. J. Skelley of Pembroke, who performed an autopsy on Picotte, said the man did not drown but died Accidental Death Verdict With No Building Faults In Bailey Bridge Collapse from a "gross" haemorrhage of the stomach and fractures of the thigh bone, hip bone and pelvis in his plunge to the rock-filled rapids 110 feet below the bridge.. In the view of Eric P. Muntz, To- ronto consulting engineer, a defec- tive weld in the Bailey bridge span bought from the United States War Assets Corporation might have con- tributed to the collapse. However, he was not certain, A second consulting engineer, F, S. Lagzier of Toronto, also declined to say definitely whether the defective weld caused the accident. 'W. J. Munro, an inspector for the Ontario Labor Department, gave evidence as to possibly another rea- son for the span's collapse. He ex- pressed belief that the length of the span--170 feet--was the cause. It was the longest span of several in the bridge. "My. own personal opinion is that the shearing of the weld had noth- ing to do with it, Mr. Munro said. The concrete base of the tower on the Ontario side was damaged, he said, He believed the weld was sheared when the span fell to the river, striking the concrete base on its way. He emphasized that, when in- specting the other spans prior to the' accident, "everything I saw I considered quite safe." Is Shown Map Of Conservation Maple Grove, Aug. 24--The Ma- ple Grove Women's Institute held its August meeting with an attend- ance of 31. The President, Mrs. 8. Morton, posted a map of the Ganarsska conservation area showing the ex- act location of the holiday and re- creation ground, purchased by the Durheam County Federation of Ag- riculture, for the use of all people of Durham Conty. Publicity convenor, Mrs. L. C. Snowden reported on activities of the Canadian Association of Con- sumers. One item of interest was that a debate on Olee had been held in Ottawa (results not given); other subjects dealt with were meat, sales tax, standards of goods, especially shoes. Regarafng milk it is claimed that skim milk at 1lc per quart is nutritionally a better bargain than whole milk at 15c. Mrs. Snowden in charge of the meeting, spoke of the opportunity Women's Institutes have through working in a public relations posi- tion between the Federation of Ag- ric and the Canadian Associ- ation of Consumers of supplying accurate information on Agricul- ture to the C.AC. She also read an extract from the book "Pleasant Valley" by Louis Bromfield. The story of the Mason family from Pleasant Valley, Ohio, illustrated what can happen and what has happened to fertile, high- ly productive land where the in- dustry of food production is car- ried on as factory production, but with no regard for depreciation of the most important element, ie. the soil. After a few generations, land, once peopled with happy rur- al citizens, producing and purchas- ing to maintain a sound, economic balance, became barren and des- ertéd. Today in U.S.A. and in a lesser way in Canada, thousands of acres of such land are becoming a national liability. This tragic, true story should awaken folk, both ru- ral and urban to a sense of individ- ual responsibility toward the wel- fare of the farmers and their way of life. . : Mrs. Howard -Cryderman very ably conducted community singing after which a program prepared by the Northern Electric Co. for the use of Women's Clubs, was pres- ented by Mrs. K.

Leaflets on each sub- ject were distributed for use of members, This program emphasized what the use of electricity in the home can provide in the way of coinfort, cleanliness, good nutrition through the proper cooking and care of food and of leisure from constant house work afforded that women may take a more prominent place in community and other public life.

It wants to give him & cake. The railroad publicity office said the man boarded a New York-bound train at South Norfolk, Conn., a few days ago and handed the conductor a ticket bought in 1917 for a trip from Ridgefield, Conn., to New York. . It said the ticket had been punched for the ride from Ridgefield to Branchville, Conn., over a line which has since gone out of existence, and for the trip from Branchville to South Norwalk. Conductor Dante L. Del Vecchio was so surprised he falled to ask the passenger's name. Anyhow, the railroad thinks his use of the ticket after 31 years "takes the cake," and thus wants to present him with one--if the railroad can find him. Threshing on Full Swing In Enfield Area MRS.
