"BOOTLEG MILK' CHARGES AIRED * THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Producers Protest OSHAWA °° Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITBY OMPA Executive VOL. 8--No. 74 | SIXTEEN PAGES 'Dictatorship' Sunday Concert Ban Rouses Council's Ire Lord's Day Act Described As 'Outmoded, Bigotted', With 'Narrow Minded' Ideas US. SOLDIERS OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1949 Price 4 Cents Charges that Toronto dairies brought "bootleg milk" into the city -- milk from uninspected barns and from cat- tle not tested for T.B. -- were aired last night at a meeting at Brough am, of milk producers who ship to To- ronto from this rural area. The "bootleg milk" allegations were tied up with a scathing attack on the executive of the Ontario Milk' Producers' Association and particularly its Secretary-Manager William Willmot of Sharon. George Todd, President of Dist-4 7 rict No. 4 of the Milk Producers' pyt if it were broken down he would Association, was chairman of the !find that he was not being fairly meeting.

"There [Pe frightened and they thought by Persian Kitten Has Eight Feet The action of the Lord's Day Alliance in forbidding the Oshawa Community Concerts Association to continue the Sunday night presentations of outstanding musical tal- ent in a local theatre evoked strong language from mem- bers of the Oshawa City Council at their meeting last night. Not a single member of Council®-- spoke ir support of the move made by the authorities of the Lord's Day Alliance and a strongly word- ed resolution will be forwarded voicing disapproval of the closure. If a suggestion made by Ald. F. N. McCallum is followed, at the next meeting of Council, the resolution will be forwarded to other Ontar- io municipalities and Attorney- General Leslie Blackwell asking their support. "This is a cultural effort which is well patronized. These concerts are open to all and everyone who wishes can buy a ticket. I feel Council should do something to get the Lord's Day Alliance to pull in its horns. The concerts do not interfere with the evening church services as they are held late in the evening. All the churches are represented at these concerts. If they were held on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon it would be different," commented Ald. McCal- Jum. "The Lord's Day Act is a Do- minion statute. It can be suspend- ed by the provinces as is the case in Quebec. It is as outmoded as the horse and buggy," declared Ald. R, D, Humphreys, K.C., who held the view that it 1s absolute nonsense for the Lord's Day Alli- ance to stop an innocent affair such as the concerts when every- one can go out and play golf and swim at any time on Sunday with- out being told they cannot. "It is my opinion the Lord's Day Act is outmoded. They should pass legislation to bring it up to date. The idea of stopping the sale of a package of cigarettes or an en- tertainment is narrow minded and bigotted," added Ald. F. M. Dafoe. "Lots of people don't go to church anyway. There is no reason why they cant enjoy something like this." "It is things like this that stop people going to church," declared AK. Humphreys. "Among those who attended the concert on Sunday night were two ministers," said Ald. McCallum. Will Discuss Reunion Plans Thursday Night Further plans for the Oshawa Old Boys and Girls Reunion, to be held from June 30 to July 4 of this year, will be formulated at a meet- ing to be held in the Old City Hall on Thursday evening of this week at eight 'o'clock. This meeting will be attended by the executive and advisory committees and the com- mittee chairman of the Reunion Association. Initial reports will be presented by the committee chair- man, and a general resume made of the progress to date. The chairmen of the various committees have also been asked to have present with them she mem- bers of their committees. Chairman William Duncan stres- ses the fact that this is a most im- portant meeting, as it is desirable to push ahead with the reunion plans, and asks for a full attend- ance of the committee members. Named Chairman REV. HUGH F. DAVIDSON MA. Minister Jnox Presbyterian cent l HRF on BPL bree the Department of Labor at Ottawa of his appointment as chairman of the court of referees under the Na- tional Fmployment Service Branch. Mr. Davidson's appointment is for the Ontario Regional Division and particulary the Oshawa district. He replaces the former chairman, James Haxton, who resigned from the post some time ago, To Install 2-Way Radio At Airport If the efforts to be put forth by the City Council come to fruition, the Oshawa Airport will become a landing place for many large planes and the revenue accruing will swell the city's coffers by a not inconsiderable sum. Council authorized the Ontario County Flying Club to install a two-way radio communication sys- tem at the airport which will per- mit of the interchange of mes- sages between field and pilot. The equipment, which will cost an esti- mated $2,000, will permit of larger planes using the airport. Landing fees would be doubled and the equipment would pay for itself in several ars, At the request of the Ontario County Flying Club, Mayor Michael Starr will endeaver to influence the authorities at Ottawa to have Oshawa declared a customs port of entry. Such a move would not only increase the city's revenue but at the same time would per- mit of aircraft from the United States landing here rather than checking in through Malton. Council decided it would not defray the deficit incurred by the flying club during 1945-46. CBC Will Handle TV Broadcasts Ottawa, March 29--(CP)--Main task of, developing television broadcasting in Canada has been placed in the hands of the CBC. Revenue Minister McCann 'an- nounced in the Commons Monday that Parliament 'will be asked by the government to approve a $4,- 000,000 grant to the publicly-own- ed corporation to help it meet ini- tial television expenditures. The OBC will establish national television production centres and transmitting stations in Montreal and Toronto. It will provide a ser- vice of television programs for broadcasting by stations which may be established in other areas of Canada, A. D. Dunton, chairman of the CBC Board of Governors, said the CBC will be ready to proceed with In Canada development work as soon as the $4,000,000 loan has been approved by Parliament. It was not possible to say now when the Montreal and Toronto stations might begin broadcasting and programming. "We hope, and we emphasize the word 'hope' that it will be possible to start operations within 12 to 18 months after the loan has been approved," said Mr. Dunton, Dr. McCann indicated that priv- ate firms will be allowed only lim- ited participation in the television field. He said: "In any city or area in Caada including Montreal and Toronto, a licence to establish one private station will be granted to a private organization giving adequate as- surances of financial means and of service." . GUILTY OF ESPIONAGE Prague, March 29 (Reuters)--The Senate of the Prague State Court has found two American soldiers today, and has sentenced them to 12 and 10 years imprisonment re- spectively. The trial took place in secret. United States authorities were not informed of the proceedings. The statement named the men as "Corporal Alexander Hunter (alias Jones) and Private Clarence Hill, both of the occupation forces in Germany." Hill received 12 years and Jones 10 years, both with hard labor. The announcement said the two men, who were sentenced Saturday, crossed the Czechoslovak frontier illegally last December "with the intention of spying in Czechoslo- vakia." In "the course of these activities" they were caught by Czechoslovak security forces, it added. Iron Finds Will Benefit Province Toronto, March 28--(CP) Mines Minister Prost said in the Legislature Monday that recent discoveries of iron ore bodies in Ontario would be a great benefit to the province some day. ~~ Communities such as Peterbor- ough and Lindsay, near where ir- on ore bodies have been found, would someday be 'great iron ore centres like Pittsburgh," Mr. Frost said speaking during consideration of the Mines Department estimates. Mr. Frost said the government had done a good deal towards sta- bilizing revenues of Northern On- tario mining municipalities. CCF. leader E. B. Jolliffe said employees of the mines depart- ment hag recently taken part in a free-time radio broadcast des- igned to allow political parties to express their opinions. "This should not happen again," he said, "If it does there will be a lot of trouble about it." Mr. Frost said the broadcasts were non-political and designed to dramatize the work of the depart- ment. Heavy Damage In Two-Car Crash A two-car collision at the inter- section of Mary and Hillcroft Streets Saturday afternoon re- sulted in the automobiles being damaged to the extent of $525. No one was injured in the mishap. E. A. Lovell, 179 Simcoe Street South, - reported to police he was driving north on Mary Street when a second auto, driven east on Hill- croft by John Bondaruk, 510 Stirl- ing Avenue, crashed into his car.

British Face New Crisis; Fear Further Ration Cut London, March 29-- (AP) --A further eut in the meat rations was foreseen in government circles to- day if Britain suspends its pur- chases in Argentina rather than meet a demand for higher prices. Reports from Argentina, banner- lined in morning papers, said sus- pension of meat shipments was be- ing discussed. Argentine govern- ment officials said the shipments would continue during the Anglo- Argentine negotiations for a new agreement. The meat ration was cut only Monday from 10D (17 cents) worth of fresh meat to 8D worth a person weekly, The allowance of 2D worth of canned corned beef remained the same. Roughly one-third of Britain's meat supplies come from Argentina. If purchasés are suspended, a fur- ther one-third cut in the ration |, might be imposed. 'The current Andes agreement for 400,000 tons of meat expires Thursday. About 70,000 tons remain to be shipped to Britain under this agreement, Authoritaive sources said Argen- tina is demanding double the pre- sent price for its meat. It is the policy of the Ministry of Food not to disclose the price being paid for Argentine meat, or the amount of stoeks on hand. Ar-, gentina's Minister = of conomy, Roberto Ares, has said, however, that Britian is paying about 51/4D a pound. A British government official said the negotiations in Buenos Aires are "at a critical stage, with the question of prices and dollar con- vertibility the two stumbling blocks." The meat shortage is swelling the ranks of the vegetarians. In Nov- ember 1945, there were 42,100. In January this year vegetarians had increased to 106,904. Now vegetari- an foodstuffs are becoming scarce. To get the extra cheese ration allocated to vegetarians, it is ne- cessary to fill in a Ministry of Food form declaring that you are a ve- getarian and have it certified by a "person in a prominent position," such as a doctor or lawyer, [ Italian Foreign Minister Hails Atlantic Contract Washington, March 29 -- (AP)-- Italy's Foreign Minister Count Car- 16 Sforza headed for the United States State Department today to report his country's readiness to join the other western democracies in an alliance against Russian ex- pansion, , Sforza's first words on arrival late Monday night were to hail the pact, which the Communists have de- nounced as "aggressive," as an in- strument aimed at keeping the peace. His decision to call promptly on State Secretary Acheson raised speculation that he planned to de- vote part of the meeting to dis- cussion of Italy's request for truse teeship control over her three for- mer colonies in Africa. The United Nations Assembly is to decide the future of the colonies during the session beginning in New York April 5. Italian embassy . aides said the Foreign Minister will be on Hand when the Queen Mary docks tomor- row with the foreign ministers of Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The official business is scheduled to get under way Saturday when the foreign ministers meet in a secret session intended to smooth out details leading up to the sign- ing Monday. As the American administration prepared to welcome the foreign ministers, experts of the State De- partment hurried final work on plans for rearming the North At- lantic Allies, The State Department reported conversations with the budget bureau to determine a' spe- cific figure for arming the pact members and other friendly pow- ers. The sum needed for the first year will be from $1.270000,000 to $1,- 500,000,000, offic'~"+ -aid, with pos- sibly $500,000.000 wore for other countries such a: Greece, Turkey, Iran and Korea. Ex-Mayor Died Tod Toronto, March 29 (CP).--Dr.| Frederick Joseph Conboy, 67, form- er mayor of Toronto, died in hos- pital today. He had been in failing health since last April when struck by an auto in North Toronto. His wife is still confined to hos- | pital after undergoing a serious operation two weeks ago. The son of a Toronto market gardener, Dr, Conboy became a leader in his profession as a den- tist, in his career in politics and in the United Church. He was elected mayor of Toronto in 1941 and served four consecutive terms as chief magistrate. He pre- viously served four years as a con- troller, two years as alderman and five years on the Board of Educa- tion. He first started dental practice here in 1904, and 21 years later was appointed director of dental ser- vices for Ontario. Since 1917 he had been a professor of dental practice at the Ontario School of Dentistry and in 1935 was appointed a pro- fessor at the School of Optometry. Last June, he campaigned unsuc- cessfully as Progressive Conserva- tive candidate for Toronto Bracon- dale in the Ontario election. 8 CB.M.C.

(The Kaiser-Frazer cut was the second in the United States auto- mobile industry in the last month. A short time ago General Motors, largest of the producers, reduced passenger-car prices $10 to $40 and truck prices up to $150). (Two years ago Ford cut prices but subsequent increases more than wiped out the reductions. How- ever, President Henry Ford II said yesterday Ford might reduce prices again). Principal change among the of- ficers is the elevation of Edgar F. Kaiser, formerly vice-president and general manager, to the presidency. He succeeds Joseph W. Frazer, who receives the newly-created post of vice-chairman of the board of board. The management and pricing {changes were reported in, trade Icircles to be the outgrowth of long- |standing differences' between two Ifactions in the corporation.
