|, MONDAY, MAY 1, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ° PAGE Fivis WHITBY NEW Whitby Legion Corner The regular monthly meeting of the branch will be held on Wednes- day evening of this week in the hall, As there is some very impor- tant business to come up all mem- . bers are urged to be present. The branch was represented at the District Convention held in Lindsay recently by District Com- mander Frank Threadgold and Reg Wood. It is reported that most branches in the district were repre- sented. Highlight of the day was the address by Premier Frost and the big parade. There was a good attendance Friday at the ladies' night held in the hall. The sound pictures shown by Director of Recreation Gordon McMahon were interesting and greatly appreciated. Refreshments were served at the close. The Saturday night dances held egery two weeks continue to be very popular. The attendance last Saturday night was large and there was an.evening of real enjoyment for all who attended. Many tables for the luncheon were reserved beforehand. . Members of the championship dart team are being extended the congratulatory hand these days on capturing almost all the premier honors in the first year's competi- tion of Zone F.1 division,in the Inter-City Dart League. Members of the team who were honored at a banquet at the Legion Hall in Oshawa Friday night, and pre- sented with their prizes, are: Jack Frost, Clinton Pascoe, Gene Hunt- ley, team captain; Ted Thorndyke, \ Doug McGuire, Bill McGuire and {Tom Donahue. The team were the winners of the team championship, Grand Challenge Trophy and of 'the Peller Shield in special compe- tition. Ted Thorndyke won the "out- 'standing Feat Award," for his sen- sational three "triples." More and more members of the Legion are taking advantage of the facilities provided for their enjoy- ment in the building. Shuffleboard has its many devotees and every night is the great centre of attrac- tion. Quite a few members of the Oshawa branch are to be seen play- ing. The billiard tables are also well patronized and the library is com- ing more into use. More books are to be added shortly. " Whitby District Men's Bowling League By the looks of the high triples this week, most of the bowlers have the play-off jitters. A. Scott of Builders led the parade with T17 followed by P.

Softball (Continued from page 4) Westmount in 1940 and, since the league was disbanded after that season, it has been in the posses- sion of Joe Childerhose, manager of the Westmount team, ever since. The cup is a real beauty, stand- ing about two feet high, with cross- ed softball bats at the top. In the past it has been won by several illustrious teams from Oshawa, Westmount, and other centres in the old Southern Ortario League. With a new base and a good clean- ing, this cup will be a truly worth- while trophy for league winners. The Whitby Softball Association will do most of the paper-work for the newly organized league and will work in conjunction with league officials at all times. To look after the league business, a board of three trustees consisting of Joe Childer- hose of Westmount, "Dink" Bye of Pickering and Bill Dyer of Brook- lin, was set up. Alfie Reardon, presi- dent of the Whitby Association will be chairman of the hoard and Fred Hatch, secretary of the Whitby As- sociation and Frank McCullough, vice-president, will assist. Friday, May 5, was set as the date for the next meeting which will be held in the Town Hall, Whitby at 7:30 pm. This meeting was called to work out a schedule for the sea- son. It will also be the last day for the entry fee of $10. Representatives from all clubs have been asked'to be present. Representatives from North Osh- awa, Westmount, Whitby and Brooklin Junior teams have also been requested to attend this meet- ing, to try to form a Southern On- tario Junior League.

He was 42 years old 'and had served only a few months of his first--and present -- term as a Democratic Senator from Connecti- cut. The Hiroshima blast was as much of a surprise to him as to anyone--"the first I knew of the bomb was President Truman's an- nouncement that it had been drop- ped," he said in an interview--but he quickly concluded that atomic energy was something -that must be leashed, What information he could pry from reluctant sources bolstered this conclusion and convinced him that America's atomic energy must De unger civilian, not military con- rol. He informed himself so fully on the subject, and expounded his views so widely, that he was a na- tural for chairman of the Senate atomic energy committee set up in the 79th Congress. When the 80th congress, controlled by the Repub- licans, established a Senate-House atomic committee, he was named a Democratic member. Now, in the Democratic-controlled . 81st Con- gress, he is chairman, There is an air of urgency about McMahon. In considering the atomic and hydrogen bombs he radiates a feeling that time is run- ning out--swiftly. He expressed it in a recent Sen- ate speech: "The clock is ticking --ticking--ticking--and with each swing of the jendulum the time to save civilization grows shorter." McMahon has forced himself to absorb all he can about atomics. He has even taken courses .at the U.S. Bureau of Standards to help him follow unfamiliar terminology and ideas, He believes in freedom of news and abhors secrecy. Yet he often expresses fear that anything he may say as chairman of the joint atomic committee may be twisted through ignorance or design to serve Soviet propaganda purposes. It was authorship of the McMa- han Atomic Energy Act, plac- ing control of atomic energy in civilian rather than military hands, that projected McMahon into chaif- manship of a major Congression- "Shine coal BUDGET PLAN IS "LIFE SAVER" FOR POCKETBOOKS 3 Big Advantages Convenient s-p-r-e-a-d out payments...easy terms to suit you No worries!

CORNELL 'Washington --(CP)-- Indications of another atomic-weapons test this summer seems to be in the wind. J That is true literally, from April until around August, prevailing winds at the test: grounds at Eniwetok Atoll, far out into Pacific, move in a favorable westerly direction. An easterly wind might push radioactive cloufis across Hawaii, Therefore . summer seems to Be the best time for such experi- ments. : Whether a hydrogen bomb might be ready for a test in the next few months, along with improved atomic bombs, it is a matter for speculation. There have been un- verified conjectures that the gov- ernment already may have run some hydrogen bomb tests in a minor way. But some atomic bomb experts have said it would take at least a year or two to develop H-bombs. And some even have suggested we may never succeed in perfecting one. Beides the factor of favorable winds at this time of year, there are other signs that an atomic test may be coming up at Eniwetok. Without mentioning dates, the United States Atomic Energy Com- mission and defence department ad- vised President Truman last No- vember that they were planning a new series of tests. Since the war, there have been only two, one at Bikini Atoll in 1946 and one at Eniwetok in 1948, so the time may be about ripe for number 3. A contract has been let for re- because al committee over the heads of his seniors. Following that McMahon's pri- mary concern was, and still is, world control of the destructive forces. In recent Senate speeches he urged a bold new approach to world stewardship of its new found force. In them he conceded that Presi- dent Truman had no choice in or- | dering development of the hydro- gen superbomb. He cautioned, however, that building a hydrogen bomb will not promise positive se- curity to the United States. He expressed his "intense con- viction that our decision, born of necessity, to build the hydrogen bomb must be accompanied by the immediate initiation of a moral crusade for peace having far great- er potential effect than physical weapon, even chunks of the sun." "My conscience is not troubled," McMahon told a reporter, "at the manufacture of the atomic or hy- drogen bombs for defence use. It is moral to do anything in self de- fence. But our responsibility lies in finding a way to avoid the neces- sity of such manufacture for any destructive purpose, That respons- ibility truly lies heavy on my mind." Scientists of the American Can Company have completed extensive nutritional tests on both red and pink types of salmon and have con- firmed the fact that each variety possesses similar nutritional value. U.S. May Stage New Atom Tests In The Pacific pairing and improving technical facilities at the Eniwetok proving grounds, obviously to get ready for something. An army construction force recently was assigned to help with the work, and a joint task force, commanded by Lt. Gen. E. ing | R. Quesada of the air force, has been set up to manage the next tests Cunard Founder's Descendant Dies Bedford, England (CP)--The last member of the Cunard family to work in the company formed by Halifax shipowner Samuel Cunard is dead. Anthony Gordon Cunard, great- grandson of Samuel, died here re- cently after a long illness. He was 56. Cunard held various posts in the line's New York and Paris offices and during both world wars was connected with the Royal Navy. A new automatic clock thermos- tat by Minneapolis-Honeywell = is said to be the first device of its kind that can be installed by the home- owner unaided. PLANE CRASH Lebanon, Ill, May I1--(AP)--A United States Air Force B-25 bomb. er struck a tree Sunday, showered flaming 'gasoline on two adjacent houses and killed six men known to be aboard. Army officers said parts of four bodies had been re- covered. They continued to search for the other two, but said there was no chance any of the plane's occupants survived. fi DANCING MOST POPULAR Truro, NS--(CP) -- When 8& youth centre was opened here re- cently teen-agers were polled as to the type of activities they would like carried on there. Dancing, swimming instruction and first aid topped the list. Least popular was boxing, and bagpipe instruction was low on the list. Ships Sail For Eni k Evidently . some U.S. ships are moving to Eniwetok. The "Elder", a small naval vessel which caught fire and got in trouble recently, is a buoy-marker layer that was Eni- wetok bound. Presumably it was going to drop new or additional buoys to mark the asfe channels into the area around Eniwetok where the United States has posted "keep out" warn- ings. This forbidden area, roughly 150 by 200 miles, was blocked off at the start of 1948, when word was passed that was a danger zone, and only persons authorized by the gov- ernment to take part in experi- ments at Entiwok would be wel- come, But despite such precautions, and although government authori- ties are keeping a strict silence about details of tests, military of- ficials believe Russia will manage to find out about new atomic ex- periments, And if the Russians do get a line on the next tests, authorities here fully expect them to take up patrol stations this side of the Marshall Islands, where Eniwetok is located, to check on ships outbound from this country. : Even if they stationed submarines far outside the danger zone, they still might be able to pick up sci- entifically-vauable information or elues with seismographic or radio- logical recording instruments, or with balloons sent into the upper air to take radiological readings. They might even get something out of visual checks, since radioac- tive clouds at Bikini were visible through polaroid glasses for several hours at distances of 30 to 40 miles or more.
