ur ] * TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE: ___ PAGE THREE Cost- f-Living Index Climbed To All Ti 'Loggers' Funds Tied Up InBCInter-Union Fight Vancouver, Oct, 5--(CP) -- The 27,000 loggers of British Columbia's multi-million-dollar timber indus- . try today were virtually without a union and the dues they have paid since its inception in 1937. They also were told by James . Fadling, president of the Interna. tional Woodworkers of America (C, 1.0.), that some of their funds had been diverted to help finance the " chief of the province's Labor Pro- gressive Party. Fadling, of Portland, Ore. late Monday obtained a Supreme Court injunction "freezing" all monies and records of the B. C. division of the IW.A. The interim order will re- main in effect until Friday. It also declared "illegal" the new- born Woodworkers Industrial Union of Canada, formed by the Leftist General Council of the B, C. Divi- sion when it severed all internation. &l labor ties in a disaffiliation move. A courtroom battle loomed on an- other ¢harge by Fadling--that $100,- -000 has been spent by "the Ccm- munist-dominated B. ¢. Council" and in no way has the Council ac- counted for the way it spent it. The rebel District Council, dom- inated by L.P.P. figures Ernie Dals- kog and Harold Pritchett has filed a counterclaim against the Interna- tional Union, claiming $9,634 ad- vanced to the I.W.A, for contract negotiations. Earlier Monday, in- ternational officials claimed $18,- 946 is unaccounted for in the B, C. Council books, Meanwhile, throughout the prov- ince, locals of the mighty lumber union assembled to decide whether they would remain in the I.W.A. Fold or follow their leftist Council into the new Woodworkers Indus- trial Union, if it is certified. Dalskog, who was president of the strife-storn I.W.A. in B.C. and boss of the new organization, said he ex- pected 20,000 of the 27,000 unionists to support him. There are 13,000 non-union loggers in the province. In 1046 they supported the B.C, union in a strike that almost crip- pled the industry, British Reds Fight Drive For Recruits London, Oct. 5--(CP)--The Com- munists have served warning that they will fight the Government's present preparedness recruiting drive, They are distributing pamphlets attacking the campaign. One typi- cal example: A leaflet bearing a picture of an atomic bomb explo- sion and the words, "Fall in for this? Not B---- likely!" At one major recruiting rally Monday at London's Mansion House in the heart of the City, they shwered Defence Minister A, V. Alexander with this and similar leaflets in a stormy scene, Banners were raised and two men climbed on to a balcony from which Alexan- der was addressing noonday crowds. Police broke up the demonstra. tion and arrested 11 men and one woman charged with disorderly con- duct. They are scheduled to appear today in court, The Communist Daily Worker re- ported the demonstrations had been "organized by the London Commun- ist Party." The newspaper said those arrested included '"ex-army offi- cers" and that the demonstration had taken "police and Mansion House attendants, , .completely by surprise." of This apparently was not the case at the evening meeting in Croydon Civic Hall where Air Marchal Lord Tedder was officiating at the open- ing at the Borough's Territorial Ar. my recruiting week. Here the police searched men entering the hall with bundles and took from them many of the leaflets. The men were afterwards allowed into the hall, Lord Tedder, Chief of Air Staff, was given a quiet hearing but the subsequent speakers were interrupt? ed. Army, N.C.OS. ejected the inter- rupters, No arrests were reported. Alexander was not disconcerted at his reception. The minister spoke from the steps of the Mansion house, official resi- dence of the Lord Mayor in the heart of the financia] quarter. Young men in the crowd distri- buted pills and posters with slogans calling for disarmament and prohi- bition of the atom bomb. Others raised banners saying: 'Fight for peace, not Wall Street." Northern Ontario Bush Fire Rages 100-Acre Area Blind River, Oct. 5 -- (CP) -- After a two-day lull, the big Geras- sett Township forest fire near here roared to life again Monday and ravaged 100 acres in a few minutes. The largest of 19 bush blazes in the Blind River-Sault Ste. Marie area of Northern Ontario, it cov- ered more than 800 acres Monday night and was still spreading. Aircraft flew in emergency crews to the fire scene, boosting the num- ber of firefighters in Graesett to about 185. Forestry officials said rocky terrain hampered fire fight- ing methods. Three new fires broke out in the same district Monday, but all were reported under control. Blaze Threatens Manitoba Hamlet Winnipeg, Oct. 5 -- (CP)--The forest fire threat to the north-cen- tral Manitoba town of Riverton was believed over today after 24 hours of- continuous flame combat work by more than 100 yolunteers and experienced fire 'fighters. Another bush fire, however, was moving in the direction of a set- tlement 350 persons on the shore of Hetla Island in Cake Winnipeg, with observers predicting a west wind would spell ruin for thé ham- let. Fire fighting equipment was flown to the vicinity Monday and an overnight vigil maintained by residents of the little settlement.

Disney, Lift Penalty For Absence From Council Subject to the approval of the Municipal Board, the by-law gov- erning penalties inflicted on alder- men who miss meetings will be amended. A motion passed the City Council last night at its monthly meeting in Old City Hall, that city representatves be exempted from penalties for non-attendance at least once during the annual ad- Jjournment period. The adjournment period, it was pointed out, begins at the end of June and lasts until the beginning of September. During that period Aldermen attend only special meet- ings, meetings that is, called by the Mayor. Under the present system Aldermen missing these special meetings have been penalized their regular $10 fee. It was to correct this condition and give the coun- cillors at least one exemption that the motion was introduced by Alderman Evelyn Bateman. Discussion as to when and why exemption shofild be allowed prompted the remark by Alderman Beary, "Perhaps we should bring a note." A previous resolution, also by Alderman Bateman, provided that the penalty for non-attendance be waived when an Alderman was otherwise occupied. with city busi. ness. J CORNWALL MAN HELD Shawinigan Falls, Que. Oct. 5 -- (CP)--Nicolas Attonasoff, 19-year- old resident of Cornwall, Ont. is in jail here awaiting trial on a charge of breaking, entering end theft. Police sald Atonasoff has ad- mited breaking into the store of What . Council / . Did Application was received from L. F. Irwin, who appeared in person before the City Council last night, to move a building measuring six feet by eight feet, from East Whit- by to the rear of a used car lot he operates on Simcoe Street North. He also wished to erect an il- luminated sign, measuring four feet by thirty-six along the front of his property. The building would be used, said the applicant, as storage space for tools and tires. It was clean and would be repainted. The sign would be eight feet from the ground and would be electrically illuminated. The matter was referred to the General Purpose Committee. A letter was received from repre- sentatives of the north-east-section of the city approving the city's suggestion that it buy five acres of land at Elgin Street and Wilson Rd. and the rear of Colborne plus two lots on Patricia Street for a tot park. Council decision was to turn the area over to the Parks Board and Board of Works to be put into usable condition. It would be impossible, due to high costs, said a letter from the Oshawd Street Railway to accede to the Council's suggestion that a five cent, four-for-a-quarter bus fare be instituted for worksmien at certain hours of the day. The Oshawa Fire Fighters' As- sociation, Local 465, wrote to ex- press its gratitude to Alderman Clifford Harman and City Council. Alderman Harman appeared before members of the Association to ex- plain why it was impossible for the municipality to grant a cost of living bonus of $1 a day to the fire fighters. ? Accounts were passed. They were: Finance Committee, $39,011; Board of Works, $30,361; Fire Protection and City Property, $9,554; General Purpose, $1,173. Council approved Alderman Har- man's motion that a water hydrant be installed on Ritson Road, north of the Oshawa Box Lumber Com- pany. The hydrant, which will be added to previous lists of new installations, will service eight new homes: in the area. Council approval was given Plan- ning Board schemes to continue Nassau Street to provide for access from Kinsmen's Park. Also pro- vided would be parking space to relieve congestion in that area. Reclassification of the area bounded by Edward Street, Ritson Road, Graburn Avenue and How- ard Street was approved. The area will not be available to "light Industry" and not purely residen- tial. The tender submitted by Dix- on Coal Company to the Fire Protection and City Property Com- mittee was accepted. Coal will be bought by the city from this com- pany at $15 a ton. Mrs. Alice Thornington appeared on behalf of the Oshawa Home and School Council to request the City to do something about a west John Street footbridge, which, she said, children crossed daily to and from school and which was a menace to their safety. She was assured by the Mayor and Board of Works Chairman Starr that repair work had been started that morning. Under the system in force at the present time the Provincial Gov- ernment collects forty - cents of every dollar paid in parking meter fines to the municipality, Mayor McCallum pointed out. Under re- solution proposed by Alderman Bateman, fines will be paid at the City Hall rather than to the Mag- istrate's Clerk and the city will collect the whole dollar. Mayor McCallum pointed out that out of the sixty cents remain- ing after the province took its cut, the city had to pay administrative expenses which left only 79 per cent of the sixty cents. Just what percentage will be left of the dol- lar after expenses no one cared to calculate, Name Oshawa Man Film Unit Officer Kingston, Oct. 5 -- (CP) -- §. E.

Very, Fa a ted Kitten This is no feline fable, the six-week-old kitten shown here is a natural born sitter-upper. Owned by Jimmy Tonkin, 17 Lloyd Street, the little tabby sits up practically all day, in much the same manner as a squirrel The kitten is either part something else or a natural born entertainer for she packs more talent per square whisker than a backyard ~--Times-Gazette Staff Photo In a whimsical ands philosophical address, George A. Fletcher, Assist- ant Sales Promotion Manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, speaking to the Oshawa Rotary Club at its weekly luncheon yester- day, made a plea for a new type of Christian and unselfish citizenship for the world of tomorrow. Drawing examples from the life of Oshawa to illustrate the differ- ence between these who were good citizens, contributing much to the life of their community and those who made no contribution and seemed unaware of their responsi- bilities, Mr. Fletcher extolled the virtues of those who gave their lives to the service of their fellow- men. The speaker was introduced by Norman Millman, and at the close of his address, the thanks of the members' were expressed warm- ly hy the Rev. Father J. C. Pereyma. Rotary Club Praised Mr. Fletcher opened his address by praising the Rotary Club for its work of citizenship building. "You are experts in citizenship" he said, "because of your creed and your practice of service club member- ship. I would be remiss if I did not thank you as a club and as indivi- duals for the contribution you have made to the things in this com- munity in which I have been in- terested. In the last few years ray experience has been rich with men who rendered anonymous service for better citizenship. Speaking of the need for develop- ing a better type of citizenship, Mr. Fletcher said the term . "juvenile delinquency" was wrong, and caused a great deal of confusion, as the root of that trouble was parent de- linquency." If we allow a child to go on beyond the age of 15 years with no knowledge of moral rules, we are heading for trouble. Citi- zens are becoming concerned with edutation more than ever before because chenge is on the march, end the tempo of change is an ever kecoming factor. We must be in- Rotary Speaker Asks New Type Christian, Unselfish Citizenship terested and know the answers to our changing problems, so that we can know what our part is in the citizenship of tomorrow. "Educators are worried these days. The teacher is afraid of the prin- cipal; the principal is afraid of the superintendent; the superintendent is afraid of the school board; the school board is afraid of the par- ents; the parents are afraid of the children, and the children are afraid of nobody." Conscription For Public Service Mr. Fletcher advocated the con- scription of individuals for public service in the same way as young men are conscripted for service in war. A great many promises had been made to the young men who fought in the world wars, and these promises could only be kept by working diligently to create a finer citizenship for tomorrow." The an- swer must come through indivi- duals," said the speaker, "because we believe in a society of free in- dividuals. It will be worthless if we do not obey the unenforceables that we know are right. The child must have it inculcated in him to obey the rules that have come down to us through the ages. Two thousand years ago there was a young man who knew everything. People say they do not understand His message. Yet the simplest peo- ple can understand. That is part of our citizenship, because we cannot talk of citizenship without referring to Him." CAPTURE MENTAL CASE London, Ont, Oct. 5--(CP)-- An escaped patient from Ontario Men. tal Hospital chased a farmer's wife with an ax before he was captured and d=2turned to the institution Monday.

The Bureau attributed the rise generally to =n advance in the costs of foods, clothing and home furnishings. The index climbed to an all-time high of 158.9 at Sept. 1, com. pared with 139.4 at the same time a year ago. Deplore Poor Condition Of Cemetery Described as "disgraceful" and "in deplorable condition" the old Wesleyan Ccmetery, on Bond Street West, last night when City Council met for its statutory meeting at City Hall. "This 'condition is so serious", said Alderman W. J. Lock, who introduced the matter at the end of a two and a half hour meeting, "that I hear it said by someone connected with the church in the vicinity of this cemetery that they are even thinking of moving the headstones--without consideration even of the question of reinter- ment". Could not, asked Alderman Lock, the Cemetery Board be in- duced to do something about the matter. "It is not our property," said Mayor F. N. MacCallum. "So far as I can see we just do not have the authority to do anything in this matter. 'The matter was once before referred to the Cemetery Board and nothing further was heard." General concensus of opinion seemed to be that the cemetery, which all members of Council ad- mitted, was in shocking condition, was the property of the Simcoe Street Church and that the onus was upon members of that church to look after it and keep it in con- dition. Some members of council thought that the Cemetery Act might give the council authority to enforce a clean-up. Finally Alderman Lock, who first introduced the matter, car- ried it away as his responsibility. The General Purpose Committee of which he is Chairman, was assign- ed to look into the matter and re- port. 10 Delegates From Riding At CCF Convention Ontario riding will be represented by seven delegates and three alter- nates at the Provincial Convention of the C.CF.

District Attorney Frank Hogan said Clark's wife had obained a court order committing him to the hos- pital after he had attempted to commit suicide. But all budget groups, said the Bureau, moved upward during the period August-September. The new 14-point sweep compared with the 0.6-point advance in July and the- 2.0-point increase in June. Calculated on the basis that 1935-39 equals 100, the index had climbed 57.6 per cent between the period Aug. 1939 and Sept. 1948, the Bureau said. Specifically, among the sub- groups, the food index mounted from 202.6 on Aug. 2 to 203.9. This increase, explained the Bureau, was recorded because rising lard, shor- tening and meat prices outweigh- ed sharp seasonal reductions in vegetables and lower quotations for eggs." In the fuel and light es, the rise was from 127.7 to 1285, due mostly to changes in coal and coke prices. A change in the weather making necessary th purchase of fall clothing spurred the clothing index from 175.9 to 179.9. Home furnishings and services also moved up substantially, said the Bureau, from. 161.4 to 164.2. Even newspaper rates added to the general increase. Personal care items and some changes in news- paper rates advanced the misce.- laneous index from 1234 to 1244. Reflecting some minor adjustments between May and September, the rent index moved up slightly from 120.9 to 121.0. Request Care In Home To Save Power That domestic consumers of el- ectricity in Oshawa are mot "pull- ing their weight" in the matter of power conservation was made amp- ly clear by members of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission last night when they stated that tours of the city last Friday and Satur- day nights showed that many homes were illuminated far beyond the need. It was stated that the tour on Friday night showed that there was less power being used than on Thursday night while on Saturday night the consumption was less than cn either of the previous nights. Some homes were found to he illuminated from top to bottom early in the evéning while porch lights were being allowed to burn for indefinite periods. Members of the Commission emphasized that householders can help the critical situation by turning off all un- necessary lights and holding light- ing to a minimum. The co-operation of home owners and housewives wag also asked through care in the use of water heaters and the boosters for heat- ers. It is suggested that hot water be not wasted so that the use of the heaters and boosters is not neces- sary to an undue degree. C.C.F.
