WHITBY Correspondent Port Perry, June 16--Yesterday was a red-letter day for the 1st Port Perry troop of Scouts and Cubs. An appropriate ceremony marked the turning of the first sod at the Scout property on Perry and Lilla Streets. At seven o'clock the Girl Guides and Brownies under Guide Cap- tain Godley and Guide Lieut. Ba- dour formed one side of a horse- shoe facing the Scouts and Cubs under S. M. Whitmore assisted by ASM, Godley and Griffen. After the hoisting of the national and scout colors, the national an- them was sung lustily and the gave a short talk on the splendid efforts of all concerned to achieve this objective and to keep on until the building was ready for occu- pancy. He explained that many of the leaders present had started as Scouts and worked then for a Scout House in Port Perry. The Scout Mothers Auxiliary was thanked for their untiring work and Mrs. Ryder, the president, was complimented for the large amount of money raised for the building. Mrs. Geo. Lane who was the SM.A.'s first president was given the honor of wielding the spade to turn the marks. Then Leaders, Guides and Scouts gave three loud cheers. The Scout Chaplain, Rev. J. T. Coneybeare, officiated in a formal dedication. The assemblage was complimented for their attention and steadiness, Mrs. E.

The fact that a late session was five years, and included a pension, welfare and wage increase package which the Union there stated would amount to thirty cents an hour at the end of the five-year period. The fact thta a late session was held last night, and that a further meeting has been arranged for this afternoon, gives rise to the belief that the Union and the company are coming close to the basis for a settlement, but lacking any official statem from either side, this can regarded as entirely in the field of speculation.

Canadian output for the week was 6,677 cars and 2,373 trucks. Production of cars and trucks in the US. set another new all-time record this week with an estimated 194,639 units turned out. This compares with 191,417 last week and 139,005 a year ago, This week's total was made up of 164,426 cars and 30,213 trucks. Gains by Chevrolet and Chrysler Corp. division accounted for the inicrease over last week. Bulk of the record production is being reali- zed on five-day schedules except in the case of Ford and Chevrolet where Saturday work is continuing. Overtime hours, however, are be- ing put in at a number of plants from Monday through Friday. Fire Hall (Continued from page 1) such as the new collegiate institute. The building is designed with a minimum of "ginger-bread" and ex- traneous decoration and with a maximum utility value. The build- ing is chastely severe in its lines. It is even without that traditional appurtenance of all fire halls, a tower. ; These plans show that the build- ing will be constructed of brick and stone, Color of the brick has not vet been determined but it may be buff. Trim will be stone, Principal room in the fire hall is, of course, the equipment' room on the main floor. Here there are four double bays to hold eight trucks or one ladder truck and seven pump- ers. The floor will be concrete and egress to the room may be obtained from the front which faces on Sim- coe Street or from Ontario Street on the east from which a right-of- way will -lead to a large cement apron at the back. Modern Drying Room Also on the first floor but raised above the truck room will be a wing which will contain an entry and general waiting room, the office of the Fire Chief, a signal room, a battery room and a mechanics' room for tools and spare parts. Be- low this wing will be a furnace room and a long drying room in which wet hose may be hung on racks and gradually dried. This will take the place of the tower which adorns most fire halls. Usual practice is to pull the hose up into the tower on pulleys to dry them. The building may not have a tower but it has two things which are traditional and which are not in the old building. There are chrome-finished sliding poles from the storey above the truck room to the main floor. Above the truck room are the firemen"s living quarters. There is a large common room for the men and a kitchen and dining room. Aside from a couple of rooms for the Deputy-Chief most of the re- mainder of the top storey is taken up with dormitory. . Floods In B.C. (Continued from page 1) trical storm severed telephope lines, hampering flood control, while farther down river near Chilliwack two huge spotlights went on as 'watchers probed the possible trouble spots. First flood took place at Ladner in the low delta land at the mouth of the swollen river. Elsewhere, the Skeena River of the north threatened roads and rail lines as well as chasing some resi- dents to higher ground. Main danger point, however, re- | mained the Fraser Valley where some 45 families moved out yester- day. The Canadian National Railways main line at Cisco, 140 miles east of Vancouver, was cut, forcing westbound trains to switch to Can- adian Pacific Lines at Kamloops. In the flood of 1948, British Col- umbia was isolated for days by rail with telegraph and telephone communication also knocked out. The run-off, becauze of cool wea- ther, has been about 15 per cent behind schedule although snow fall was above normal. Electric Storm (Continued from page 1) at Ottawa and district during the night, starting fires, temporarily crippling hydro transformers and putting one Ottawa tram line out of operation. Benjamin DeVdeyen, 21, suffered severe cut hands when he smashed his way out of the window of a Brittania Street car which caught fire when struck by lightning. He was treated at hospital. The tram line was blocked for half an hour. Within an hour after the storm broke, Ottawa firemen answered six alarms to various parts of the city for minor fires. A cottage owned by R. Turiff of the nearby summer resort of Britannia suffered damage when electrical wiring was struck by lightning.' No one was injured. Sixty chickens, and bales of hay and farm equipment were destroyed in a barn fire near Blackburn, Ont., 10 miles southeast of Ottawa. Report Guerillas Rebel in Columbia \ enezuela, June 17 -- army of 2400 trained jungle fighters has set up a "Free Republic of Colombia" and controls the strategic plains, a rebel leader claims here. He is Luis Buitrago, 26, who says he is secretary to the rebel chief of state, Eliseo Velasques. Buitrago said the rebels got their scanty supply of arms by fighting government soldiers with machettes --heavy knives used in cutting su- gar cane, Caracas, Business And Markets Farmers' Market Security markets this week enter- ed their second year of a bull drive. It was in mid-June of 1949 that the current, almost uninterrupted ad- vance began. Profit-taking increased in leaders of the year's steady climb. Traders became selective and caution was the market watchword. The increas- ing flow of predictions by observers of a market setback began to take effect. After a year of almost uninter- rupted advance in stock prices, some sort of reaction is to be expected. However, many observers maintain that there is still much dife left in the bull market. Booming busi- ness conditions are yet to be fully accounted for by markets, they say. New York took a slight battering durjng five sessions this week while Canadian markets moved on their own into higher ground. In New York, the Associated Press 60-stock average closed yes- terday at 78.6, a drop of 1.4 from the previous Friday. In Canadian industrial markets, papers paced a strong climb. Li- quors, refining oil stocks and select- ed steels and constructions were also well ahead. Big news events of the week was annour t of a possible new oil field discovery = by a British American oil-Shell team in the Peace River district of Northern Alberta. The Toronto Exchange's index of representative industrial stocks gained 4.90 and was at the highest point since the index was first com- piled in 1934. Western ofl stocks held the re- mainder of the limelight. Interest has been high in western oils in recent weeks and the list has climbed. steadily to the highest price peaks in 13 years. The index added 485 on the week. Gold stocks were largely ignored. Leading gold producers declined to the lowest average price levels in a year. The index was off 3.06. Base metals held to a narrow price path. The index added .69. In Montreal, papers featured, gaining 10.09 on the averages. Other changes were: Banks up .06; indus- trials up 18; combined up 1.2; golds off 147, Grain markets slumped. In Chi- cago, losses ranged up to 10 cents in July wheat, corn, oats and rye.

For a great engineer he had only a limited knowledge of mathema- tics and never used a slide-rule. He was what few can be -- an artist with tools; whose designing has been described as more the product of an innate sense of correct bal- ance than of intricate formula. (Personally I have known only one man like that. It was Alfred Skattebol, who until his retirement was Canadian Press traffic chief in Vancouver. Knowing him is the reason I can understand Henry Royce.) An associate describes Royce's ap- pearance as that of a typical Eng- lish farmer, bearded, five feet, 10 inches, not easy to talk to -- unless you were discussing engineering. He would come into the shop and look at a car chassis or aero-engine for hours, while the boys were paid to follow him around with a glass of milk and a sandwich to make sure that he would eat. He would instruct a sweeper on the proper use of a broom and once expressed the thought that "what- ever is rightly done, hewvever hum- ble, is noble." This was translated by Eric Gill, English sctilptor, into the motto: "Quidvis recte factum; Quamvis humile praeclarum." He was still engaged in the hoist= ing-machinery business when he turned out his first motor-car in 1904. In less than 10 years Rolls- Royce had established its peculiar reputation of quality and perform- ance. In the meantime, in 1910, his health a). broken and it can be a said thay his colleague, Claude Johnson, /kept him alive; virtually coaxing the strange genius to con- tinue living and working. Johnson himself died in 1926 but Royce lived until 1933, aged 70: War in 1914 put Royce and his firm into a field he had previously avoided -- aviation. By 1915 he had produced his first Aero Fagle en- gine, and it is estimated that five- eighths of the Aero-engines used in British aircraft in the first world war were Rolls-Royces. : Then, after the war, the first non- stop trans-Atlantic flight was made by John Alcock and Arthur Whit=- ten Brown in a Rolls-Royce-en= gined Vickers Vimy bomber, June 15, 1919. It developed 360 horsepow-. er, compared with the 1,760 of to=- day's Merlin, In 1925 work was started on the Kestrel engine, from whose basic design sprang the Buzzard which served as the pattern for the Schneider trophy and world speed= inspired the Merlin which went into the Spitfires and Hurricanes. Here briefly is how airplanes are developed in the heat of war: Rolls-Royce had evolved a self- contained and interchangeable power plant around the Merlin XX engine for installation in the twin- engined Bristol Beaufighter. The A. V. Roe Company had de- signed the Manchester, a twin-en- gined bomber with two. Rolls-Royce vulture engines, However, the Vulture was barely in production stage, whereas the Merlin was being heavily produced. It was decided, therefore, to al- ter the Manchester wing to take four Merlins, This machine, the result of all these steps, was the famous Lancas= ter bomber. Hear East Arabs Sign Security Pact Cairo, June 17 (CP)--Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen today signed an Arab col- lective security pact. A League spokesman said Iraq intends to delay her signature un- til the fall meeting of the League with the idéa that Iraq and Jordan will then sign simultaneously. Jordan is boycotting the present League session because of the dis- pute over Jordan's annexation of Eastern Palestine, British Press Calls On U.S. To Join Pool London, June 17--(CP)--British newspapers today continued to urge Prime Minister Attlee to make clear Bé#itain's desire to promote Buropean co-operation, contending this would repair the "damage" and aboard to the government's atti- aboard tao the government's atti- tude. The Manchester Guardian and Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express join in sharp rejoinders to Ameri- can press and official comment on the party executive's document. The statement on. "European Un- ity" is widely interpreted as a Bri- tish Socialist refusal to co-operate with non-Socialist governments. The Liberal Guardian asserts that the Labor government's reserved attitude on the Schuman plan for a' European coal and steel pool "would certainly be that of the United States were congress pre- sented with the same peremptory demand from any other country." The Imperialist Express chal- lenges Americans to "show Britain the way" by "declaring their willing- ness to integrate the coal and steel industries of the United States in the project which Mr, Schuman has presented and Mr. Acheson has blessed." h Foreign Minister Robert Schuman of France is sponsor of the pool plan, Acheson is United States Sec- retary of State. Noting that "there are other forms of international control than the one Mr, Schuman proposes," the Liberal News-Chronicle suggests that Britain should "take a con- structive lead" in pointing this out. "What must be made plain above all else is that it is quite false to suppose that we have to choose be- tween Europe and the Common- wealth, or between Europe and the United States. Indeed, a living community of interests exists be- tween the three today." Special Prize! ROTARY FAIR PARADE MONDAY NIGHT FOR BEST DRESSED SPORTS ORGANIZATION First Prize $15.00 Second Prize $10.00
