P ud SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE » PAGE FIFTEEN Snow Storm Stalks Cars, Rail Traffic Kansas City, Nov. 20 -- (AP) -- Parties in three western states to- day were cutting through deep snowdrifts. to rescue stranded travellers and livestock. Winter's first swoop across East- ern Colorado, Southwestern N2- braska and Western Kansas ridged the land with drifts from three to 20 feet deep. Trains, buses and motor cars were stalled. Telephone and power lines were down, and many communities isolated. One death was reported. A 15- year-old girl died at Hutchinson, Kans, of diabetes when drifts blocked efforts to get her to a hos- pital. Lack of severe cold lessened the hardships. Trains on the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and Rock Island railroads were moving slowly today as snow- plows rammed the tracks clear. Some trains were delayed as much as 20 hours Friday. Soldiers in Kansas, using military vehicles, were hauling s tranded motorists to shelter. Two airline pilots, flying separate .routes from Kansas City to. Den- ver late Friday, reported - seeing more than 200 automobiles stalled near the Kansas-Colorado border. They saw no distress signals, how- ever. ! Farmers still were having diffi- culty : reaching outlying flocks of sheep and herds of cattle. Sheep losses were expected to be heavy. Power -companies had the job of restoring electric service. Telephone , lihemen 'were plugging at the task of repairing more than 200 lonz- distance circuits across Kansas, be- sides: the countless breaks in short . lines. ' 'The storm tapered off to lighter snowfall and rain as it moved southeastward into Missouri today. The weather bureau reported the ' storm was weakening slowly but still producing snow over Northern Michigan, Northern Wisconsin, Southern and Eastern Minnesota, Western Iowa and extreme eastern parts of South Dakota and Neb- raska The New England and middle At- . lantic states, Central Wisconsin and . Michigan were getting rain. ~The bureau said the coldest weather was through the central * part of the gountry from the Can- + adian_bofder to the Gulf of Mex- icq.Chadron, Neb. had a reading «of 5 above, pi ADJOURN CASE Gananoque, Nov. 20 -- (CP) -- .A one-week adjournment was granted Thursday in the hearing of J.

RADIO FAILURE Toronto, Nov. 20---(CP)--Execu- tive Council of the Church of Eng- land in Capada Friday protested what it called the failure of private land government radio stations to | schedule Sunday . evening religious services. A resolution said the situa- | tion "implies an opinion that the | religious interests of the people | need no satisfaction at that time yand the suggestion that there is no desire for such programs during [these hours." Strike Not Responsible For Bustle Vancouver, Nov, 20--(CP)--Van- couver today is one of the busiest ports on the North American con- tinent, but shipping company and longshoremen's union spokesmen say the bustle is not directly due to the strike of United States Paci- fic coast longshoremen. The strike, in effect along the U.S. west coast for 12 weeks, ex- tended to the Eastern United Sta- tes seaboard 11 days ago and caus- ed virtual paralysis of U.S. ship- ping movements. The increased activity here, how- ever, is not due to vessels being diverted from American ports of call to Vancouver, spokesmen for both shippers and union said. Tifey attributed the present "boom" to | other factors. One, touching on the strike, con- cerns the unloading of more car- goes here than usual. Some of these cargoes are shipped by rail to Am- erican destinations, but shipping sources said no complaints have been received from striking long- shoremen at US. west coast sea- ports. More pertinent -te the "boom," they said, is heavy traffic this fall after a slack summer, caused in part by flood conditions in the Fra- ser River valley .and in part by light grain shipments. ; One official also referred to sta tistics showing a steady increase in shipping activity at Vancouver over a period of many years. In 1947 2,342,000 tons were handled while 1,530,000 tons were moved during the first six months of this year, Hirohito Said Near Quitting, Report Denied As an aftermath of the recent Japanese ' war "crimes verdicts, in which the Australian and French judges on the tribunal labeled Hiro- hito "Japan's principal war crim- inal", one American correspondent reported from Tokyo recently that "Japan is rife with rumors that the Emperor would abdicate." The correspondent, in close touch with the highest = authorities among the American occupation forces, declares that in spite. of these rumors the Emperor will not abdicate. "In separate minority opinions," said he, "the Australian and French judges labeled Hirohito as Japan's principal war criminal, and insisted that 'he should have been compelled to stand trial. That was more than enough to set the gossips talking. "The decision to grant the Em- peror immunity was made original- Feminine Touch Helps Airlift nm Three pretty long-time veterans of Britain's Women's Auxiliary Air Force --or W.A.AF.s--are pictured busy at their tasks as mechanics helping keep fit the big ships which carry Britain's end of the life-giving airlift into Berlin.» Left to right the girls are: Pat Humphreys, of Cappamore, Limerick, Ircland; Kathleen Phillips, of Mountrath, Leix, Ireland, and Muriel McGowen, of Birkenhead, Cheshire, Eng. They are working at Berlin's Gatow Airfield. --Central Press Canadian ly by the U.S. Government. The reason was once expressed graph- ically by General MacArthur: 'In maintaining peace and order in Ja- pan, the Emperor is worth twenty divisions to me.' So long as the Emperor tells his people to remain peaceful, the task of policing Japan is no task at all. "Palace functionaries have re- peatedly started whispering cam- paigns that the Emperor would ab- dicate. They want to get rid of him, because he is so democratic. His palace chamberlains still yearn for the old feudals days. Many Japanese politicians might agree, but they don't know what would happen after his abdication. If a regency were appointed, it would be headed presumably by one of the Emperor's brothers. No one, neith- er Japanese or American, knows how .they would act. That's why the emperor is not likely to abdi- cate." . COUPLE KILLED Boiestown, N.B., Nov. 20--(CP)-- Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Gilliland, aged 56 and 55, of West Saint John, N.B., were killed Friday when their car crashed into a slowly-moving Canadian Pacific Railway freight train at a crossing in the little York County village of Astle, five miles west of here.

Hosts Lacking In Humor By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Auckland, N.Z.-- (CP) -- British immigrants agree that New Zéa-' landers are friendly and helpful, but one criticism they nearly all .make is that they find the people too solemn. "You would think they had all Britain's troubles on their shoul- ders instead of living in one of the most fortunate countries in the world," declared one surprised im- migrant. "I hardly ever see people laughing or smiling in the streets. 'What has become of the Cockney wit and broad North Country hu- mor of their ancestors?" Other immigrants, as well as vis- itors from Europe and America, complain of the lack of gaiety in New Zealand life and the com- plete closing down of all forms of entertainment on Sunday. The complaints have now been formally . investigated by,;J. Laird lecturer in philosophy at Auckland University College, who finds that New Zealanders do possess a sense of humor but that they lack a sense of fun. New Zealand has develop- ed a laconic type of humor of its own that may not be immediately apparent to the visitor. Laird thinks New Zealanders have not yet learned to laugh at them- selves as people of older nations have. They have a certain infer- jority complex which makes them take criticism hard. It makes them strive to emphasize things at which they excel. Agreeing that New = Zealanders Men Wanted To Learn DIESEL ( AGE ........

Chicago Vocational Training Corporation Limited MONTREAL - TORONTO - WINNIPEG - VANCOUVER - EDMONTON Apply BOX 719 DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE are not naturally gay, Laird com- pared a party at a New Zealander's home and one given by a Irish or Scottish immigrant. In the latter case there would not be much to grink but the party would be hilar- ous. The New Zealand function might begin with 'dancing, but nothing as riotous as a Scottish or Irish reel. Then the beer would be brought in. That would be the main part of the evening and the guests would ser- iously settle down to drink it. Laird thinks New Zealand's ser- iousness is partly due to the strong pioneering spirit which still pre- vails. New Zealanders always want to be up and doing something. They spend their leisure time in some ac- tive pursuit instead of seeking en- tertainment. Another factor, he considers, is the strong Puritan strain which ex- ists. Only about 10 per cent of the present population goes to church but a large proportion re- tains the moral e of its prede- cessors. This is reflected in the re- tention of the Puritan Sunday.

ONE MINUTE NEWS \ amour SF JOHNS-MANVILLE Men Who Run J-M Plants Are Backed By Long Experience The question is often asked: "Have the men who run J-M's plants and niines come up from the ranks?" Practically all of J-M's plant and mine managers have worked their way up within the company. Some have worked themselves up from the very bottom. On the average they have behind them 18 years of Johns- Manville experience. In addi- tion, many of them had industrial or technical training before starting out with Johns- Manville. \ The long experience of these men helps assure continuin stability of J-M operations po. of the communities in Canada in which the company's plants and mines are located. The opportunity for, these men and for every Canadian to work up from the bottom to the top is a vital part of the Cdna- dian system of free enterprise. This is one of a series of answers to questions fre- quently asked about Canadian Johns-Manville and Canadian industry. » ct BIDDULP Presents This ADDISON Invest In a Radio That Will NOT Bocome Obsolete When Television Comes to Oshawa!
