gi | I THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE VY EQRTIESS -- PY v | ®o Relief In Sight On Home Problems . Corp. Chief Says Kingston, Sept. 23 (CP)--D. B. Mansur, President of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, believes no re- lief is in sight from Canada's housing headache. Nor does he think building costs show any sign of com- ing down, he said Wednesday at the closing session of the Ontario Municipal Association's 50th annual convention. The head of the federally-owned® housing corporation said the Do= minion Government! hopes to com- plete 85,000 housing units this year. But an additional 90,000 family groups will need housing by the end of 1948. "Our estimates today show that 800,000 household groups in Can- ada are sharing accommodation. And of these about 250,000 families wish to have a place of their own. "Our surveys indicate that 17 per cent of houses are shared by more than one family, while in small towns in Ontario it is as high as 20 per cent." The volume of construction of mew housing units was breaking records, But under present eco- nomic conditions coupled with an extremely high marriage rate and heavy immigration, that construc- tion .was only preventing the situa- tion from becoming worse. It costs 188 per cent more to build a house now than in 1939, in addition to added costs for ineffi- ciency of labor and delays in de- livery of material. Costs increased in the first half of 1948 by 49 per cent. "As to future trends, I would not dare to make an estimate. I will only make the comment that as long as construction of all kinds is proceeding at" a rate beyond the full capacity of the construct industry, it would be amazing' if the cost level fell." The OM.A., which elected York | Treasurer W. W. Gardhouse s its President, heard charges that the provincial government is "act- ing like a dictator" by forcing mu- nicipalities to arbitrate wage dis- putes with civic police and firemen witholit appeal. KE. L. Thompson, Warden of York, County, argued that the municipal ity should have the sole right to say how much of the taxpayer's money shall be spent and where it goes, including wages for firemen and police. "The authority of the municipal- ity is being taken away by a dic- tatorial government," said Seth Bush, North Bay Welfare Commis- sioner. "This is the thin edge of the wedge." f List of Carriers Who Have Qualified For Free Ottawa Trip Compiled up to 9 am.

George's Parish fan, 3:00 o'clock, Friday, September 3 (223a) Manager Tells Employment Service | Work "The National Employment Ser- vice can supply you with # snow- shoveller and it can also supply you with a general manager," de- clared Leonard Coulson, manager of the Oshawa branch of. the Na- tional Employment Service, in an enlightening address of the Osh- awa Kiwanis Club, at their week- ly luncheon meeting on Tuesday. Stressing the objective of unem- ployment insurance and employ- ment service, the speaker declared "employment is the fundamental purpose of our organization," and in this phase, he proceeded to deal with certain unusual factors not so well known to the public. The speaker briefly referred to the work accomplished by the "ser- vice" in reconversion of munition workers, following the war, the re- establishment of veterans, etc. Experts Help Amputees Mentioning the group known as "handicaps", which includes ampu- tees, Mr. Coulson stressed that th en are dealt with by ex- peris, and that a policy of utiliz- ing the available faculties of the employee has proven. extremely suc- cessful. Youth, another group in which the N.E.S. has performed a splendid job, was a group which must be started off right in their first employment. The speaker urg- ed the necessity for apprenticeship by employers. The day is fast ap- proaching when industry must train their own skilled labor for their own particular needs, since skilled labor is already very scarce. National Employment Service can also supply men in the executive group, it was stressed. The "Ser- vice" is not merely a supply house for labor but that the big field of executive help has also been well handled and men have been placed in positions at salaries of $4,000. per annum, and up. A system of clearance in vogue enables National Employment Ser- vice to distribute the requirements of any employer, regardless of how far they may be apart and the em- ployer and applicant are brought together, whether both located in one city or at different localities in the Dominion. D. P.'s Prove Valuable The importation of immigrants has been another enormous task for the "Service" and Mr. Coul-~ son, in his address, revealed some interesting figures pertaining to this locality. Of the 85 Polish immigrants brought to this locality over two years ago, 60 of them are still here, continuing on past their two-year contract, most of them on: farm work in this area. Of the 85, "on- ly two were "duds," declared the speaker. : Displaced persons, another group brought here, divided into three elasses, the single men, single girls apd married® couples, have also been established here and weil es- tablished. The single men have been employed mostly on farms with the single girls as domestic help, Many of these displaced persons are extremely well educat- ed, one couple each have a Univers- ity degree. Dutch immigrants and Maltese are also been found to be successful types, with very few ex- ceptions, ; "Over 350 have been placed on farms in the Oshawa area and it solved the farming situation in this area," stated Mr. Coulson. Tries to Meet Crises In concluding his address, the speaker stated that "National Em- ployment Service is a service which will endeavour te meet any situa- tion that constitutes a crisis and it has been proven in the handling of various situations in the past few years, that the National Em- ployment Service is now in a posi- tion to face almost any possible situation. In 1947, National Employment Service placed three-quarters of a million employees with over seven thousand employers. In 1946, a million and a half dollars was paid out in the Oshawa area, a large "payroll" in -the form of unem- ployment insurance that no doubt relieved what could have been a financial depression in this area, at that time, » "National Employment Service is as wide as the employment field it- self," concluded Mr. Coulson. The speaker, a former member of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, was in- troduced by Kiwanian Murray Johnston = with Kiwanian Harry Picken voicing the thanks and ap- preciatien of the members, at the conclusion of the informative 'ad- dress. PILLS, NOT DRINK 8t." Catharines, Sept. 23--(CP)-- Police thought a resident of nearby Jordan was drunk when he passed out in a beer parlor. However in court Wednesday it turned out that he had obtained some sleeping pills from' his doctor for insomnia, took some of them just before drinking one beer and promptly passed out. MAJOR RICHARD L. JOHNSON Has smashed the world's speed record in a jet fighter during a flight at Murdoc, N.Y. recently. Johnson's speed in a North Ameri- can F-86 jet fighter, was an average of 670.981 miles an hour, 20.185 miles better than the previous record. Creamery Butter Production Rises Toronto, Sept. 23--(CP)--Slightly higher production of creamery but- ter and .a reduced cheddar cheese output was noted in Ontario dur- ing August, as compared with August, 1947, the provincial De- partment of Agriculture said today in its monthly dairy report. However, production of processed milk products was "substantially higher" in figures showing up to the end of July. Production of creamery butter totalled 8,195,100 pounds, as against 8,195,800 pounds in August last year. This brought the total to the end of August for this year to 53,671,500 pounds, slightly below the 54,965,600 pounds of 1947. Cheddar cheese was reported at 10,809,400 pounds, compared with 13,191,100 in August, 1947, with cumulative output to the end of August 50,211,500 pounds, a decrease of 19.5 per cent from the same period last year. : At the end of July processed milk products, such as condensed, evaporated and powdered milk, amounted to 121,542,400 pounds, an increase 'of 9.9 per cent over the first seven months of 1947. THREE NEW MEMBERS Three new members have enroll- ed by the Ontario County Flying Club. They are Max Roberts and Bill Meldrum of Port Hope and Gor- don Loudfoot of Ajax. Find Yvonne Brouillette Guilty of Manslaughter bh 4 Toronto, Sept. 23--(CP)--Freed of a murder charge, Yvonne Brouil- lette, 38, will be sentenced Friday for manslaughter in the hatchet- slaying last June of John F. Far- rell, 33. The assize court jury Wednesday rejected a defence plea for acquittal on the grounds that when the wo- man hacked Farrell 35 times with a hatchet in the couple's rooming- house . bedroom she was defending herself against the man who had earlier threatened to kill her. Mr. Justice Keiller Mackay told the jury he agreed with its verdict and its decision to reduce the charge. He added: "The evidence did not support a charge of murder." Defence Counsel Harry Rose will present arguments for leniency be- fore sentence is passed. The maxi- mum penalty for manslaughter is life imprisonment. The trim, dark-haired woman showed no emotion when she heard the jury foreman announce that she had been spared the gallows. She had breken down and wept in her cell when the jury retired three hours earlier at the close of the three-day trial. The 'most dramatic moment of the hearing came late Tuesday when the black-garbed woman, sob- bing in the witness box. declared she took the hatchet to Farrell, with whom she had lived intermit- tently for a year and a half, after he beat her and threatened to kill her. She told She gous: "It was his life mine." Mr. Rose insisted the woman was in fear of her life when she seized the hatchet in the roominghouse basement and took it up to her bed- room. When-Farrell sought to at- tack her again, she struck him. Crown Counsel W. O. Gibson told the jury that when the woman left the room where Farrell lay intoxi- cated, she could have either fled or gone to others in the rooming- house for protection. Instead, after a few minutes, she returned with the hatchet. . "pid she stand at the doorway at the head of the bed and cut him to pieces without any more ado?" Mr. Gibson asked. "There is strong evidence to support that. She went at the business enthusiastically, ex- haustively, then went and asked the landlord, Nicholas Tennyson, {io come and see what a lovely job she had done on him. "She made no mention to Tenny- son of self-defence. We have only one side of the story of what hap- pened in that room. The other. one died with Farrell." Ho Hem, Silver! Spokane, Sept. 28 -- (AP)-- _Mrs,. Maxine Mayther testified at a divorce hearing that her husband, Robert, spent his time listening to children's radio programs. "He thought the height of en- tertai was listeni to 'The Lone Ranger on the radio," she said. Judge R. M. Webster ruled that was "ample grounds" for divorce. hr A Doucett Adds To Department Toronto, Sept. 23 (CP).--High- ways Minister Doucett Wednesday appointed C. H. Nelson as Chief Engineer of Construction and Charles A. Robbins, Chief Engineer of Maintenance. The appointments were announced after a reorganiza- tion of department personnel. Mr, Nelson was former Assistant Chief Engineer and Mr. Robbins was district engineer for Southern Ontario. Their assistants will be T. F. Francis and W. B. Hutcheson. Mr. Doucett said J. D, Millar re- mains as Deputy-Minister of High- ways and A, A. Smith as Chief Engineer. He also said J. H. Hawes, Divi- sional Municipal Engineer at Owen Sound, had been superannuated because of ill health. N. H. Cooke will succeed Mr. Hawes. ; H. Irwin has joined the engineer- ing staff of the Municipal Roads Branch. Make of Butter Shows Decline The make of creamery butter during August, in both Ontario and Durham Counties, was lower than in the corresponding month of last year, it is reported by the Statistic Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In Ontario County the make was 90,833 pounds as compared with 92,129 pounds in August, 1947. The make. for the eight months of this year in the county. was 600,415 pounds as against 622.364 pounds for the same period of 1947. The make in Durham County in August was 109,766 pounds as against 120,338 pounds in August a year ago. The make for the eight months of this year was 692,077 pounds. as compared with 750,149 pounds for the same period of last year, UNUSUAL VISITOR The Oshawa Airport had an un- usual visitor last week. It was an American Steerman with a special 450 h.p. engine, This particular air- craft has put on spectacular flying shows for air-enthusiasts all over the continent, It's the one 'lucky Lott" flies inverted. The yellow let- tering advertising 'Lucky Lott" is written up-side-down on the fuse- lage 'as most of his flying is done that-a-way. The committee in charge of this years' Lindsay Fair has contracted "Lucky" to drop leaflets over all the neighbouring towns and cities. es .GOOD CORN CROP Some very good 'fields of husking corn are reported in Ontario Coun. ty.

Representatives of seven prov- inces--all except Ontario and Que- bec--today are preparing to follow up their initial victory Tuesday. They gained a three-month delay in hearings on the railway applica- tion for a new interim 15-per-cent freight rate increase and a general permanent increase of 20 per cent. The hearings were set aside until January 11, A five-point attack will be made by the provinces against the 21- per-cent boost when they appear before the cabinet Monday and Tuesday. The provinces will contend: 1. That there was no real finan- cial necessity for the increase. . Some claims by the railways were not fully investigated by the Board of Transport Commissioners which granted the increase. 3. There was insufficient evi- dence to show that the two major carriers had made all possible eco- nomies by full co-operation. 4. Authorization of a flat per- centage increase across the country was beyond the jurisdiction of the board. The railways are expegted to ar- gue that their case was fully proved and that the board had ample authority to make any kind of an award. They will probably place consider- able stress on their idea that the cabinet appeal is little more than a device to gain time in the cur- rently-pending 20-per-cent increase case. It is certain they will contend that the initial 21-per-cent boost was not enough. .

Marshall outlined the United States' basic foreign policy in a speech to the fall session of the Unjted Nations General Assembly. He referred to the Russians and their six eastern European satellites as the "small minority" which consist- ently boycotts the Balkan and Korean U.N. Commissions and the "Little Assembly." "It would be a tragic e rror,"@--- Marshall declared, "if, "because off misunderstanding, the patience of others should be mistaken for weakness." Marshall served notice the United States will not "compromise the es- sential principles" or 'barter away the rights and freedom of other peoples." In an apparent reference to the! Berlin crisis, Marshall said the United States "is prepared to seek in every possible way, in any ap- propriate forum, a constructive and peaceful settlement of the political controversies which contribute to the present tension and uncer- tainty." The first reply to Marshall from the Soviet bloc came from Poland's Foreign Minister, Zygmunt Modzel- ewski, who savagely attacked the European reconstruction ,program and western efforts to unite their zones Of occupatiomr in Germany. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines led off the general de- to unite in a "third force" that could maintain a balance of power between east and west, Romulo said: "The conscience of | the world deserves a stronger voice than has spoken for it during the past three years. Let the small nations, speaking in unison, be tha voice." Later, in an obvious reference to the Soviet-led Eastern Eupopean { bloc in the assembly, Marshall said the work of the United Nations had been seriously hampered by "the refusal of a group of nations to. participate in certain' of the im- portant commissions established by ~ this assembly, such as the Balkan Commission, the Korean Commis~ sion and the Interim Committee. "More important than this boy~ cott, however, is the disturbing lack of co-operation which the United Nations has received in its efforts to resolve such questions as Korea and Greece and to bring about the international control of atomic energy. " "This persistent refusal of a small minority to contribute to the ac- complishment of our agreed pur- poses is a matter of profound con cern." He assured the Soviet bloc there was 'no plot among members of this organization to keep any na- tion or group of nations in a minority. The minority is selfs imposed. "Nations consistently in the mine ority would be welcomed among the (Continued on Page 2) stronger too. Sincerely, In that year the first little Laura Secord Candy Shop was opened as a demonstration of an Ideal, which began as a tiny bud, and ultimately blossomed into a- full-blown flower of idealistic simplicity. That candies which would be the freshest, and of the' most superior quality, should be sold in an atmosphere of friendliness from a neighbourhood shop to neigh-' bours, was the ideal which we set before us. Today the daintily distinctive Laura Secord Candy Shops have come to be familiar landmarks in many Canadian neighbourhoods. ! : Yet our greatest pride is not merely in this unprece-' dented development but in the pleasant fact that down through the years, the neighbourly touch has grown: It isin the friendly smiles exchanged across the counter in the years-long preference given to these favourite : candies by so many friends and families. Tt is this loyalty we appreciate and value above all else, as neighbourly approval of the Laura Secord Ideal which was born thirty-five years ago, to blossom throughout the succeeding years . . . and which today we pledge ourselves to maintain in the highest degree.
