WHITNEY Moscow, Aug. 31 (AP).--A special decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet today gave every Russian citizen the right to build and own a home. " At the same time, a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. ordered municipal and rural gov- ermnments to make available to citizens desiring to construct their f° own homes land plots "in eternal use." 'The one problem, which has to be solved now is how to get the house built. There are no contractors to whom the Soviet citizen can turn, since private enterprise on an indi- vidual basis is illegal in this Social- ist state. There obviously are going to be several ways of getting homes built, o course, Apparent prospects in- e: 1. The citizen can build the house himself, getting help from rivate individuals carpenters, ricklayers, plumbers -- and pur- chasing the necessary materials from state retail outlets. . It is entirely possible that home building co-operative organi- zations will be formed to whom the prospective' homeowner can -turn for assistance on a contractual basis in constructing his house. 3. Within the next year it is quite probable that prefabricated houses will go on sale in Soviet! retail stores with the price probably including erection costs. In any event, it appears that the new decrees by the Presidium and e Council of Ministers are in- sided to get Russian citizens into wfivate homes and therefore the government probably will do some- a J about seeing that they get t. Playoff Hopes (Continued frcen page 4) down shortstop to first to retire the side and give Cobourg a 1-0 Pile Up Runs Although that single tally proved enough to win the game the Or- phans kept adding to it with one run in the third, two in the fourth, two more in the sixth, before ex- ! for six runs in the eighth e. Although only four hits were collected in the disastrous (for Whitby) inning eleven batters pa- * raded to the plate before three outs were made. Pitcher Ball start- ed it off with a single to right. Med- hurst did likewise. Campbell laid down a beautiful sacrifice bunt which moved both runners into scoring position. Carlson got on to load the bases when Mayne bob- bled his grounder. Corbett slugged a grounder to Sundin at second who threw to the plate to force the runner but his toss was late and Ball tallied, still leaving the bases crammed with only one out. Jt was then that Cooper smashed his grand-slam .homer over Watson's head in left-centre field. Ewart, the next batter, started it all over again with a long triple to right. After _ Quigley struck out, Ewart, who had te when a pitch got away from tcher Ed Samanski. Although no further runs were scored Mayne is- sued two walks in succession before Medhurst, batting for the second time in the inning, went down shortstop to first. Not Many Reach Base Only five Whitby men got as far as first base and all of them stayed ht there except Samanski when e was walked in the seventh after Bc around to third, crossed the Watson had struck out. He managed to steal his way around to third base but the only scoring threat died when Mowatt was out auto- matically as he ran into his own bunt and Mayne went down swing- ing. The loss meant that Whitby play- ers could hang up their uniforms for the season while Cobourg goes on to meet Trenton in the third round of the playoffs. Although dis- appointed at their poor showing most of the local lads agreed they were outclassed by the powerful Co- bourg club. R. H.

I'll bet 90 per cent of the people here wouldn't take the assessed value for a sale price of their prop- erty today," said Ralph Wilson, reading the assessment act which stated that property shall be as- sessed at its actual value. Mr. For- sythe agreed that perhaps Mr. Wilson was right but still as- sessment had "taken an awful jump." Look To Future ning was from N. G. Twist of Rouge Hills and Toronto who said it was futile to bicker about the assessment which is "an accomp- lished falt." "Our taxes will not be lower," said Mr. Twist. "But the assessor is looking at this district as a rural area, whereas it is really a munic- ipality getting rural services. We should concentrate on the problem of trying to get more services for our tax money." . Mr. Twist advocated: (1) Set up an organization to press for the services wanted; (2) Investigate the assessment with a view to pre- venting a large jump again with- out notice. Mr. Twist pointed out the folly of simply refusing to pay taxes and turning in the bills to the Court of Revision. He pointed out that there was nothing to pre- '|vent the county from reassessing that area at an even higher fig- ure. - FAMOUS JEWISH ACTRESS The famous 19th century French actress, Rachel, was born Elizabeth Felix, the daughter of poor Jewish peddlers in Switzerland.

Leader, Party Farmers Fear Of Fruits, Vegetable Crops If Rain Not Forthcoming Toronto, Aug. 31 -- (CP) -- The heat wave in Central Canada was definitely ended today but weather forecasters heid out no promise of rain badly needed throughout the province to avoid further damage to crops. An Ontario Agriculture Depart- ment crop report said pastures had been "burned up" in many sections. The heat wave scalded root crops, particularly tomatoes, and brought a sharp reduction in milk and egg products. Some dairymen are feed- ing hay and grain to cows, cutting into their winter feed supplies in order to keep up the present milk supply. The Ontario peach crop survived the heat and a peak crop of good quality peaches began moving to markets today. But the heat dam- age to the tomato crop has been heavy, Agriculture Minister T. L. Kennedy Monday said perhaps 40 per cent of the tomato crop had been damaged, but he disagreed with reports that the tomato dam- age alone would amount to perhaps $3,000,000. ' Ontario's tomato crop earlier wi estimated at $6,000,000 and on the basis of damage estimates in the Spoilage the tomato loss might reach $3,- 000,600. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that while much of the tomato crop is blistered, making it worthless on the retail markets, a great part of this crop can still be used by the canneries. For canning and for to- matp juice, the canneries prefer tomatoes fully ripe, he said. On retail + markets, tomatoes jumped sharply in the past two days. Monday tomatoes were selling betwéen 69 and 79 cents a six- quart basket, compared with 39 cents last week. Most other vege- tables were still selling at bargain prices. _ The peach crop was sald to be as heavy, if not heavier, than last year, with prices just as low. While the heat did not hurt the peaches, it speeded ripening. Farmers in the Hamilton and Niagara Peninsula peach-growing districts said it would be necessary to pick the en- tire -crop this week. Lack of suffi- cient pickers might mean a heavy foss on this crop too. Peach prices will be governed largely by the demand in the Que- bec, Maritimes and western market. No. 1 peaches probably will com- mand between 79 and 99 cents for a six-quart basket. By VIC MORRIS, JR. Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 31--(CP)--Quebec will support Premier George Drew of Ontario if he accepts nomination for leadership of the Progressive Conservative party, Ivan Sabourin, Quebec party leader, said in an in- terview here Monday night. "Drew is the logical man for Que- bec to support. Quebec delegates fa- vor him because of his strong stand for provincial rights," Sabourin said. He was unable to say if Mr. Drew would accept nomination to succeed retiring John Bracken as national leader. "It is something he will have to decide for himself but it is the opinion of most provincial leaders that he will accept.' Sabourin, who will Quebec delegates to .the national leadership convention in Ottawa next month, said Quebec probably would propose a candidate but it was too early yet for any decision. ; He repeated a statement that his delegation does not intend "to con- stitute a bloc" at the convention. "Our main purpose will be to co- operate with delegates from all pro- vinces in the best interests of the nation, But we will demand that Quebec provincial rights be safe- guarded," he said. The Quebec leader said he favor- ed return to the single name of Con- servative party without the prefix "Progressive." «It is not by adding or subtract- ing a name to a party that you can change its policies," he said. "The Progressive prefix was to saticfy some of the western provinces, I don't think it meant additional votes." He also thought would be a "forgotten issue" Quebec delegates. "It is not of great importance now that peace is here and I can see no reason why it should be brought be- fore the general assembly for dis- cussion," he said. This was interpreted to . mean Quebec delegates would not question the wartime stand of the party's accompany conscription for Top.
