FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES- GAZETTE #4 PAGE THREE i Rivers To Hang December 9 For Slayi Early Signs Show Drew Is Favored In Convention Race By D'Arcy O'Donnell i Canadian Press Staff Writer . Ottawa, Oct. 1 (CP)--Premier Drew of Ontario was reported today to be picking up fresh support for Saturday's contest for the Progressive Conservative leadership. Though this first day of the party's national convention passed with few new developments in the leadership race, delegates said they believed the 54-year-old Ontario Premier was pulling far ahead of the three candidates who thus far have announced they will go to the balloting post with him. The three, in the order of their®- chances in the pre.balloting bet- ting, are John Diefenbaker, 53, member of parliament for the Sas- katchewan riding of Lake Centre, Donald Fleming, 43, member for Toronto Eglinton, and Garfield Case, 49, member for the Ontario constituency of Grey North. ' E. D. Fulton, member for Kam- loops, B.C., President of the Young Progressive Conservatives, with- drew himself from the leadership speculation with an announcement that he had decided against enter- ing the contest: He had been men- tioned as a possible candidate. As the three-day convention swung open in Ottawa's Lansdowne Park, delegates found the entrance to the convention halls placarded with huge posters proclaiming the smerits of the various candidates. Premier Drew's supporters began issuing 'George Drew" lapel but- tons and took over the adjoining horticultural 'building as a "Drew information" centre. Tea, biscuits and soft drinks were served to visi- ting delegates on one of the upper floors. Backers of the second and third- place candidates --Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr, Fleming -- issued pamph- Jets detailing the careers of their nominees while the genial fourth runner, Mr. Case, button-holed delegates in the convention lobby. There was little mention of the Jeadership race on the convention floor, aside from a non-comittal reference by retiring leader John Bracken in his farewell speech, but there was considerable jockeying for support and favored positions behind the convention scenes, ¢ "Nominations for the leadership 'tlose at 6 pm. today. As was done during the Liberal convention here two months ago, df no one is elected by the fourth ballot, last-place candidates would automatically be dropped from each succeeding ballot. The winning candidate must have a clear ma- jority of votes over all other candi- tes. The candidates are expected to outline their views on' policy mat- ters in their nomination speeches tonight. Each candidate will be al- lowed to speak for 20 minutes while his mover gets 10 minutes and the seconder five. However, as they buckled down to work this morning, delegates were more immediately concerned with the party's platform than with its Jeadership. Before them was placed the re- port of the 193-man resolutions committee, laying down a series of planks proposed as the party's po- « . Mcy for the coming years, The 1,311 delegates immediately tackled the job of approving, re- jecting or revising these basic items of the party makeup, on which it may ptand or fall at the next elec- tion. The day was to be given over largely to deliberations on the platform, and advance indications were that some of the policy reso- lutions would spark warm debate. Thursday, in a day devoted large- ly to rounting business and open- ing ceremonies, the convention heard from top party men a call for action to make the party the one for the common man. Anglicans Hear Primate's Address Kingston, Oct. 1--(CP)--Nearly 500 clergy and lay members of On- tario Diocese of the Church of Eng- land in Canada Thursday night at- tended a banquet honoring Most Rev. George F. Kingston, Anglican Primaté of all Canada. Speaking in the city where he 'was ordained as a deacon in 1916, the Primate referred to the recent World Council of Churches As- sembly at Amsterdam as "a striking pxample of what unity there can be." : Difficulties between denomina- fons had not been glossed over, he jaid. He commended Rt. Rev. John Lyons of Kingston, Bishop of the Diocese, for his wisdom, gracious- ness and strength of character in lealing with "the crucial problem if church reunion." Bishop Lyons is chairman of the porninion-wide committee of thurch union. ASK TAX CUTS Niagara Falls, Ont., Oct. 1--(CP) --Reduction of income taxes by me-sixth was urged today by the Janadian Electrical Manufacturers Association in a telegram to Fin- mce Minister Abbott. The associa- fon's convention unanimously ap- woved a resolution which said axes should be reduced 'because f the continuing government sur- duses and the present high level ¢ the cost-of-living index." - wl Ontario Spotlight TO OPEN BRIDGE Guelph, Oct. 1--(CP)--The Prin- cess Elizabeth bridge, formerly the Jackson Bridge, is to be formally opened Oct. 6, when the name plaque will be unveiled by Ontario Highways Minister Doucett.

BOTHERSOME BEAVER Barrie, Oct. 1--(CP)--Con- servation of wild life is fine un- til beaver flood your pasture with six feet of water and threaten to wash out a town- ship road. So James Emms, who has seen the beaver build suc-- cessively larger dams on the creek on his property about 10 miles north of here, has ap- pealed to the local game war- den, who in turn has applied to the Department of Game and Fisheries for permission to move the animals. Santa Claus (Continued from Page 1) installed on his throne in the Arm- ouries and will interview Oshawa children about their Christmas wishes. D. H. Stevens, representative of the Matlock Company, . addressed the meeting and outlined the nature of the 14 floats which will form the main units in the parade. Seven of them, he said, will be moved by their own motors, and the others can be pulled by boys dressed as clowns. The first float is to be a Mother Goose tableau, depicting the story- book characters so well-known to all children. The second exhibit is an animated elephant float, with music. provided by records and a self-contained microphone. Other floats are .to depict the legends of "The oud Lady in the Shoe," who is shown spanking a "bad boy," of the "Big Bad Wolf," and of other nursery-tale charac- ters such as Cinderella and her Prince; Old King Cole and his fid- dlers; Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, and Jack and the Beanstalk. A special Boy Scout float is pro- vided for a display of scout work. 'The float will be equipped with a pup tent and a place for a fire, and will be run by members of Oshawa Scout troops. Seek Aid From Business According to plans the money to finance the annual Santa Claus Parade, which the Association spon- sors, will be raised by means of an appeal to Oshawa businessmen which will start immediately. Chairman A. H. Dancey said that members of the Association would ; form teams of three or four to can- vass the business areas and con- tact firms and individuals. "A ten- tative list of expected donations has been made out," he said, "and we only ask each person to contribute his fair share of the cost. This year's parade will be expensive, in comparison with previous years, both because of a general Increase in prices and because we are get- ting a better parade. But it will pay for itself in the number of people it will draw to Oshawa from the surrounding districts, and in the business it brings to the town." Mr. Dancey said that a complete list of donors would be published as contributions are received and recorded from day to day. The canvas is expected to start im- mediately.

Cunty Road Chief under County Engineer Kean, John M. Rae up his position on Saturday, to take over a large tourist camp at Epinola, 44 miles west of Sud- bury. Mr. Rae left this week to assume his new purchase while Mrs. Rae and the family will fol- low next week. John Rae is an old Stouffville boy who left here to enter the gar- age business at Goodwood. After building up a good business there, he sold out. In the meantime he rose to the position of reeve in Uxbridge Township, and while holding that post received the ap- pointment of road man for the whole county. He did good work and merited much praise, but the endless driv- ing entailéd to look after the ter- ritory was interfering with his health. This led him to enter busi- ness again, which accounts for the purchase of the tourist camp. There are some 135 acres of land surrounding the tourist home, with good hunting right on the prop- erty and plenty of fishing in the district. The Raes will be missed in Sunderland where they moved to a couple of years ago so that Mr. Rae would be nearer the centre of the county.

The next morning the stripped and beaten body of the girl, stran- gled with a man's belt, was found sprawled across a blood-soaked bed in Rivers' hotel room. Rivers' version, given from the witness box and in a statement madé to police upon his arrest four days after the slaying, was that he and the girl went to the notel room the night of July 22. He told the girl that he had beer and whisky in his room and she sug- gested that they drink it, he said. Rivers claimed that during the evening he "blacked out" after said he came to four hours later on the main street, went back to the room, saw the bedy and left town.

These cards, the doctor said, are given to each child twice yearly, as an aid to the discovery and treat- ment of dental defects. Each child is instructed to visit the family dentist and have an examjnation of his teeth made, If any defects are found they are reported to the Board of Health on the blue card, which the student returns to his teacher. Those who cannot afford to have dental defects corrected by the family dentist may have this work done through the Public Health Dental Service.
