The course was gaily decorated with a new feature this year in the Finish Line Bridge, donated by Ontario Steel Products, on top of which judges, time-keepers and telephonists play their part in the biggest sporting event of C.R.A.'s summer season. Trumpets blared, bands played ® lusty music and color and gaiety | was the keynote as from 9 am. to 10 a.m. youngsters from the C.R.A. | playgrounds paraded their racing course. Right up the 1000 feet course a crowd of Oshawa young- sters in fancy dress dragged the sturdy little cars which are today out to win an Oshawa Racing Car Derby championship. Time Rounds This morning's session was de- voted entirely to time rounds with the fastest sixteen cars in each Derby class going into the elim- ination rounds this afternoon. At 2 pm., Mr. T. L.

Mr. Thomson will also be the guest speaker at the Racing Car Derby dinner to be held at the Hotel Genosha at the close of rac- ing when every driver, win or lose, will receive a measure of cheering and applause for his enthusiasm, hard work and good sportsman- ship. Opening Address Acting-Mayor, Russell D. Hum- phreys, in a brief opening address to the 52 racing car drivers and the many spectators, said he hoped the sun would come out 'to beam on, you all and make it a good day for such a splendid event." He noted that the number of motor- less cars in the Motor City were increasing in number year by year. "It's a great thing for all you young fellows to take part in a display of sportsmanship of this type. I am sure the citizens of Oshawa generally 'would like. me to express their thanks to the rac- ing car derby sponsor, Ontario Mo- tor Sales, and all the other indus- tries which helped to make the event possible " the acting mayor said. Wishing the drivers all the suc- cess in the world, Mr. Humphreys said, "while you can't all win prizes you can have a lot of grand fun displaying good sportsmanship. Good racing to you all." First Heat Starts Racing Following his address, Mr. Hum- phreys lowered a black and white checkered flag which was the sig- nal for the first two cars, driven by . Gregory Vanson and Earl Drinkle, to commence their "hot" race. 'Vanson was the winner by a short margin. Allan Quin, director of Oshawa's CommUnity Recreation Association, introduced Mr. Humphreys to the 1a gathering.

Foresters Plan Activities To Create Interest The problem of securing larger attendance at lodge meetings form- ed the subject of an interesting discussion at a meeting of Court Oshawa, Canadian Order of Forest- ers on Monday evening, and plans were developed for a program which would stimulate the interest of members in attending. The plans included the final debate in a dis- trict debating . series, in which' Pickering and Oshawa courts, win- ners of the preliminary debates, | will oppose each other. This will be held at Pickering in. the near fu-| ture. District Deputy H.C.R. Charles Ferguson announced that the bowl- ing league will soon be started, and that plans are being made for an-| other successful season of this rec- reational outlet for the Foresters and their ladies. The next meeting, on September 11, will consist of a brief business session to be followed by a corn: roast. | AUSTRALIAN IRRIGATION PROJECT READY TO BEGIN Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 10-- | (Reuters)--A lengthening shadow | of solid rock, earth and concrete | is expected to bring promise of | abundant power and prolific soil to a huge area of the state of Vic- toria, It will be the outline of the 13,000,000-ton Eildon dam---largest single project of Australia's far-| reaching irrigation and water pow- | er plans--which, after years of | blueprinting, is nearing the con- | struction stage. ! A beginning on the five-year task | of building the £10,000,000 dam is! expected in the autumn. | The Eildon dam is part of a mas- | ter plan entailing a total expendi-| ture of £20,000,000 in the next 10 years. Experts believe that in that period it will double the state's production from irrigated areas. The plan dovetails. with an even | more far-reaching plan extending | from the 1,600-mile Murray River along the Victoria-New South Wales border and calculated to benefit. both states. The Murray with its Victorian | tributaries, the Darling (1,760 | miles) and the Murrumbridge (1,050 miles), now services 1,250,000 | acres. | Capacity of the completed Eildon dam, 60 miles northeast of Mel- bourne, will be nearly 130,680,000,000 cubic feet. Under the billions of gallons of the pent-up Goulburn River will lie thousands of acres of rich, dairying land, the site of once-prosperous farming commun- ities and part of the town of Bon- nie Doon.

Aerial Ladder Demonstration Provides Thrills --Times-Gazette Staff Photo. Story of Modern Chemistry to Be Shown at C.N.E. Toronto, Aug. 17 Pirouetting puppets, the world's largest lollipop, nylon fur, wax fruit artistry and colored motion pictures are among the featuers which will tell the fas- cinating story of modern chemistry and its contribution to the lives of Canadians in the Chemical Won- derland ' exhibit of the Canadian National Exhibition. The colorful cast of the puppet show is made up of several recent- ly-born chemical marvels who will give several performances daily. They will be. controlled by the nimble fingers of their creator, Mis. Dave Keogh, well-known Toronto | puppeteer. The giant lollipop, believed to be the world's largest, was made by a famous Swiss chef now employed by a Montreal department store. The candy portion is solid sugar mixed with other ingredien&s used by lollipop makers, and is almost five feet in diameter and three inches thick. It is mounted on a nine-foot hardwood stick and is so heavy, three husky men are requir- ed to lift it. Youngsters attending the exhibition will have a chance to win a prize each day if they can guess the weight of the huge "sucker", One of the most revolutionary developments in recent years--a nylon fur suit--will be on public display for the first time in the ny- lon section. It is the same type used by the R.C.A.F. for winter flying in the Arctic. While warm in the cold- est weather, it is several times lighter in weight than the conven- tional caribou. Eskimo suits com- monly used by northern travellers. A new display of wax artistry by the veteran Chatham entomologist, Albert Wood, will be seen in the agricultural chemicals section. This year it will include life-like wax re- plicas of several species of Cana- dian apples damaged by insects and diseases which are responsible for reducing Canada's crop by millions of bushels annually. In the ammunition display, a large illuminated plastic map will show the migratory route of several Canadian game. birds. Push buttons controlling moving arrows indicate the route of any specific bird. Geo- graphic distribution sf game ani- mals in Canada are also shown. Other display include a lecture demonstration of the meaning and use of color in interior decoration and a brush-making machine which will manufacture nylon household brushes on the spot. These will be given away to visitors.

Phe M.P.'s Criticized For Stand on Labor Votes The Oshawa and District Labor! Council charged last night that the | voting records of Walter C. Thom- son and J. M. James, M.P.s for | Ontario and Durham respectively, !in the House of Commons "indi- cate they have failed to represent the interests of labor." It was de- cided to urge council affiliates "to | intensify political education among their nfembers with the object of | securing sufficient support at the | next election for candidates who | | are pledged to work for interest of the working people of these two constituencies." | Members maintained that during the past session of Parliament the members for Ontario and Durham ridings consistently voted against enacting certain measures in favor of labor, or absented themselves | when items of interest to labor were decided by vote. They also pointed out that during the elec- tion campaign the two members promised to serve the interest of all their constituents. "They turned their campaigning to labor indicating they would be our spokesmen in - parliament," said M. J, Fenwick, secretary- treasurer, "and quite a number of workers fell for it because they were elected." Noting from a PAC-CCL (political action committee of the Canadian Congress of Labor) pamphlet, Fen- wick said that out of four certain issues voted upon during the last session of Parliament the member Jor Ontario Riding voted against once and was absent when the other three votes were taken while the Durham member was absent once and voted "against" in the remaining three votes. How They Voted The four issues involved, said Fenwick, and how the two members voted were as follows: 1. Price Control--C.C.F. motion to reimpose selective price control. Thomson, against; James, absent. 2. Retirement payments to C.N.R. President Vaughan (to disclose the retired C.N.R. president). Thomson, absent; James, against. 3. Voluntary Revocable Check- off of union dues. Thomson, ab- sent; James, against. 4. Reinstatement and Compensa- tion Bill. Thomson, absent; James, against. | "Mr. Thomson wasn't even there to be against," Fenwick said, "and this is the man who is aspiring to become the Premier of Ontario... need I say more." Walter C. Thomson Replies Approached for a statement by The Times-Gazette this morning, | Walter C. Thomson, M.P, for On- | tario Riding, said that he had never missed a vote in the House of the interests of Ontario Riding. | "Furthermore, these labor mate | lin L | government, how much the government paid to | ters were fully discussed in govern- ment caucus, and a policy adopted which the government believed was in the best interests of labor. The CCF. proposals referred to Mr, Fenwick were. introduced for the purpose of embarrassing the and were vexatious and frivolous. They were made a matter of want of confidence in the government, and any vote I gave against them was made be- cause I am satisfied that the gov- ernment's policies are in the best interests of the labor people of this constituency." PLANS FALLS PLUNGE Niagara Falls, Ont, Aug. 16-- (CP)--Leslie Sanders, 38, of New York, 'say: he will try to go over the Horseshoe Falls In a steel bar- rel in Sept. He has ordered a bar- rel from a welding company here and will return to the city within a few days to complete details for the plunge, he said. Demonstration Of Aerial Ladder Given Aldermen Members of city council and of- ficials of the fire department were given a demonstration of an aerial ladder truck at Memorial Park yes- terday afternoon. The truck, which was en route to Mount Royal, a suburb of Montreal, was assembled in Woodstock by the Bickle-Sea- grave Company Limited. Recommendation of Fire Chief Wesley R. Elliott has, for some time been that a aerial ladder truck be acquired. A number of demonstra- tions have been given members of council and others both here and in Toronto, The 85 foot extension ladder, all automatically controlled, was man- oeuvered through a full 360 degrees, raised and lowered and inclined. Climax of the demonstration was when a fireman controlled a hose line from the highest elevation of the ladder and shot a stream of water the full distance across Me- morial Park from south to north. Present were Aldermen Russell T, Humphries, Cephas Gay, Clifford At the monthly meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council last night Ed Cline, president, and Michael surer, were elected as delegates to the Canadian Congress of Labor convention, 25 in Winnipeg.

Labor Council Votes Assistance To Strike Fund The Oshawa and District Labor Council last night decided to con- tribute $10. towards the strike fund for employees of the Continental Can Company who have been on! strike since July 12. Some 500 workers of three of the company's! plants, two in New Toronto, and one in Toronto, are involved. Alex Clark, chairman of the] union's negotiating committee said' the base rate for male employees | was 85 cents an hour and 75 cents | an hour for girls. He asserted that | the average base rate for workers in steel plants in the United States was $1.21 an hour and the Conti- nental Can Company pays its em- ployees in the United States $1.23 an hour, "They pay higher rates than the average steel plants in the United States and I can't see why they can't pay at least the same base rate as the steelworkers get in Can- ada," Clark said. "Our rate must come up to the level of other steel plants in Toronto and district. We must have a better contract." Clark said 'the rate for pro- duction in the strike-bound plants was about $1.00 "Why, our hiring rate is $1.12," William Rutherford informed Clark. Much Wheat Good Only for Feeding Heavy rains of two weeks ago have caused much of the fall wheat in Ontario County to grow in the stook, so that it will be good only for stock feeding purposes, say the weekly report of the agricultural representative, H. L. Fair of Ux- bridge. The spring grain throughout the county, however, is well filled, | and should give a higher than aver- | age yield, the report says. Pastures | are also better than average for' this time of the year. | Somewhat similar conditions pre- | vail in Durham County, according to the report of E. A. Summers, agricultural representative. There the wheat had sprouted in many cases, and with the low prices now prevailing, most of it will be used ! for feed. | CAN TELL IT'S FROM IDEAL DAIRY-- IT'S SO FRESH !
