THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ) "NN PAGE THIRTEEN y United Church Urge os m---- Will Press For Probe Of Liquor Sales Government To Steepen Taxes On Capital Gains By Robert Phillips Canadian Press Staff Writer - Vanceuver, Sept. 30 (CP)--The United Church of Can- ada, its 13th general council concluded, has placed on record a demand for curbs upon the liquor industry in the Dominion and a Royal Commission to inquire into all aspects of its operations. The church made known its at-®-- titude toward alcoholic beverages and their manufacture, distribution and sale by accepting 'Wednesday - & report prepared by a committee under R. T. Richards of London, Ont. The report asked the church to urge governments to institute a "steeply graded tax on capital gains of beverage alcohol companies" and, in line with the British ex- 'ample, to increase taxes on beer, wines and spirituous liquors. ,' A study /of alcohol "to protect society against the evils and rav- 'ages of the drug," also was recom- 'mended, this to be carried out by y provincial health and education - departments. Rév. J. R. Mutchmoor of To- ronto, Secretary of the Evangelism and : Social Services Department, said there now was more money in the liquor industry, "six times over, than the richest gold mine in the world." Before concluding its nine-day . sessions, first held on the west coast, the council approved a $3,- 000,000 . development program de- signed to overcome three "obstacles." These were listed in a report nted by Rev. W. Harold Young Toronto as a lack of "spiritual viction and response" on the t of a large section of the h; a shortage of personnel candidates for full-time serv- ; and an insufficient number of Fecruits. In dealing with observance of the s Lord's Day, a report prepared by a committee under Judge Archibald Cochrane and Rev. R. C. Chalmers of Toronto criticized organized Sunday sport, called upon the church to undertake activities which would appeal to youth "who have no regular activities on Sun- day afternoon and evening" and asked the government to refrain from having armed force training on the Lord's Day unnecessarily, , . Lovesick Moose Dies, Victim of Civilization Barrie, Sept. 30--(CP)--A wild bull moose died from inflammation of the lungs Wednesday--Ilovesick for a red cow in a farmer's barn- His sickness was brought on by struggles with men who wanted to take him away from the farmyard and back to his natural habitat. The 1200-pound moose wandered out of the bush and struck up a friendship with the red cow on wrence Oilmer's farm near Port vern, 30 miles north of here on Georgian Bay. Lands Department officials de- cided it was dangerous to leave tn3 animal in a settled area with the mating season approaching. They lassooed and trucked him away to ' a provincial park. But the park pens weren't strong enough to hold him so he was taken to a barn' on another near- a farm Tuesday. He died Wednes- ay. Cancer Prevention Address Theme At Maple Grove Maple Grove, Sept. 28-- At the September meeting of Maple Grove Women's Institute, Mrs. Alex Campbell, Social Welfare Convenor, took charge of the program.

BALL'S GARAGE SERVICE STATION TOMORROW (FRIDAY, acon 1st) At Their New Address 136 KING ST. W. (At the Entrance to the Oshawa Arena) - _BRITISH-AMERICAN PRODUCTS ) Claims Killing Accidental In Malvern Store Robbery Toronto, Sept. 30 -- (CP)--Fred Aldred, 23, staked his life today on his story that storekeeper William Cowan was fatally shot with his own revolver Aug. 1 when it dis- charged accidentally in the merch- ant's hands while Cowan struggled with" Aldred in a darkened store. Aldred, on trial for murder, said in a statement admitted Wednes- day the weapon was discharged twice while he fought to escape from Cowan who had caught him breaking into his store at Malvern in the Oshawa area. Aldred said Cowan surprised him in the store and that he told Cow- an he had broken in to look for something to eat for himself and his girl friend, May Hill, 17, with whom he was eloping. Defence Counsel Harry Rose said there was no evidence Aldred had any weapon when he entered the Cowan store. The "revolver was in Cowan's- hands and in some man- ner it went off during the struggle. He said the most severe conclu sion that could be reached on the evidence was that it was a case of involuntary manslaughter. Crown Counsel W. O. Gibson said it would be practically impossible for a shot to pierce Cowan's breast in the way the fatal shot did. if the revolver were in Cowan's own hands. "In view of the fact that Mrs, Cowan (wife of the slain store keeper) was hit over the head with something harder than a fist and also that the revolver was found on the accused when he was arrest- ed, can you comf to any other con= clusion than that the revolver was in the hands of the accused when the second shot was fired." 4 dance is 17 this year not 16 as re- ported last 'week: .
