CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Back From Greece Harry Vorvis Says Canada Is Best "Here come a couple of Brooklyns." That is how the people of Greece today look upon all tourists--many of whom are from New York. Just back from his native land, Harry Vorvis, Whitby businessman, was classed as a "Brook- lyn". Mr. Vorvis and his brother-in-law, Louis Laskaris of Bowmanville, spent two months in the rock-ribbed promon- tory which they call their native land, but they would not now exchange "the whole country for Whitby or Bowman- ville." Eager To Come "If the government of Canada would open the doors, there would be a flood of people from my coun- try come here," said Mr. Vorvis yes- terday upon his return to Canada. "The standards of living are so very low because of economic poverty. Store clerks receive the equivalent of $12 to $15 a month. When you consider that prices such as res- taurant meals are $1 and up, and other things correspondingly high, it is no wonder that some af the people in the country have to go barefoot. I think that after I have been home a while, I will see what I can do about getting some collec- tion of clothing under way." It is 38 years since Mr. Vorvis carhe to Canada. He has not for- gotten his native tongue. Like many Greeks, he glories in the magnifi- cent past of the country which dis- covered logic and gave mankind an ideal of a life guided by the mind. He visited the ruins of old Sparta, Adelphi and other famous places. New Sparta is a modern town of 10,000 people where Mr. Vorvis' sis- ter lives. During his visit, the weather was fine--very hot most of the day yet quite cool at nights. It did not rain once in the two months. All this may make the tourist happy but it spells disaster for the farmers who try to grow crops on rocky, barren ground. How- ever, grapes, oranges, lemons and other fruits grow well and these, with the products of their distil- leries, are exported. Marked By War The excitingly beautiful moun- tains and scenery made splendid subjects for picture-taking. Socially, there are no barriers in Greece; there is no titled nobility. During the last war, a valiant Greek army drove the Italians back. Scarcely a home was spared the sacrifice of a son, Mr. Vorvis said, and the marks of the war are everywhere. It was during this time that Canada be- came well and favorably known from the material aid she sent to Greece. When travelling in Greece today, one feels proud that the United States and Canada have the intelligence to help them again. The practice of drinking coffee at outdoor cafes is the way modern Athenians and Spartans demon- strate their fervent [®e of discus- sion as they drink and talk politics. Today, only cigarettes and a few other small items can be purchas- ed more cheaply than in Canada. Saw Home Paper "When I first came to Canada it took a month of travel," said Mr. Vorvis. "Yesterday we came in 26 hours flying time. We stopped for a day in London and I took the op- portunity to see the sights. Canada House, I picked up a couple of copies of The Times-Gazette. It made me feel as if I were at home to see the pictures of Francis Mc- Intyre and Bob Andersan, and to read about the Merchants latest ball RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED -- IMMEDIATE BUTT RADIO & APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N. Whit'yy Tel. 707 At | School For Leaders To With an attendance of between 100 and 125 expected from all parts of the Bay of Quinte Con- ference of the United Church of Canada, the annual School for Leaders will open this evening at the Ontario Ladies' College. The School is held under the auspices of the Women's Mission- ary Society and during the week the Executive will meet. This af- ternoon the delegates will register and in the evening the formal op- ening will take place. The presi- dent is Mrs. F. W. K. Harris, of Peterboro. During the school ses- sions, which close on Friday af- ternoon, several outstanding mis- sionary leaders will be held. A vari- ed program of studies embracing the entire field of missionary ef- fort for which the United Church is noted has been prepared. The school started in 1934 was the first of its kind, the Bay of Quinte Conference Branch giving leadership in this respect. It has grown extensively since that time. In the United Church here Sun- day morning the minister, Rev. Robert Scott, announcing the school, expressed the hope that the W.M.S. branches of the church would be well represented. HARVESTER COMPANY STRIKE Chicago, Aug. 28 -- (AP) -- A system-wide strike against Inter- national Harvester Company was called Sunday by the farm equip- ment division, Unted Electrical Workers (Ind.). The strike call, directed to 27,000 F.E.-U.E. workers in 11° plants, will virtually bring the big implement firm's operations to a standstill. Nine other Harves- ter plants have been shut down since Thursday by another strike called by the United Auto Workers (CI1.0.) who represent 22,000 em- ployees. Union contracts are the issue. PILOT SHORTAGE Montreal--(CP)--A shortage of pilots is plaguing ship captains on the St. Lawrence. Capt. Alfred Levesque, superintendent of pilots here, says the shortage is caused by retirement and sickness. An ap- peal for mariners has been sent out, game. But I am glad to be home to- day." The children and Mrs. Vorvis were glad to see him also. For them, there were souvenirs and beautiful hand-made articles to remind them that Dad had not forgotten to pick up something fine for them in his travels. Mr. Vorvis found that in spite of the present-day disabilities of Greece, it is still'a nation that is on guard at the frontiers of civil- ization and freedom and a nation whieh deserves to be helped out of the economic morass into which world conditions have plunged it.

Cobourg Downs Stokers 11-7 To Tie Series Play Here On Tuesday By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Stokers must have got a bit of bad coal in their Stokers on Saturday night down in Cobourg as they dropped an 11-7 count to the home team. It was played be- fore one of the largest crowds of the season, weil over the 1,500 mark. The Stokers who were handicapped by the fact that they had never played under lights before, gave a good show anyway. The drastic seventh inning when with the Stokers carrythg a 7-5 lead saw the roof fall in. The Co- bourg Orphans really got the breaks and scored no less than six runs before the Stokers could .stop their fire. The Stokers had to call in Mayne to stop the rally. The best blow of the game for the Stokers came in the sixth with the Stokers behind 5-2 and two men on. Mayne came to bat and came through with one of his hardest hit homers of the season, Even the good Cobourg fans cheered as they saw the ball sail well out of the park. The Stokers started off in the first inning by getting one.on with two away but that was all the dam- age they could do. The Orphans however were a'little better lucked as they got two free passes off Samanski and then an error by A. Samanski allowed one run to score and the score read 1-0 in favor of the Orphans at the end of the first. The Stokers, however, came back in the first half of the second and tied the score. E. Samanski led off with a free pass and took second on a passed ball, Mayne fanned, Ross went down, pitcher to first, W. Samanski next batter up lined a clean single scoring brother Ed Sundin then went down third to first to end the rally. Cobourg again took the lead in their half of the second as Jones first batter up was safe on an error and got to second on a sacrifice by Galley, Medhurst, next man up singled to centre field scoring Jones. Platt fanned and Bevan flied out to left field. The Stokers failed to get a hit in their half of the third but did manage to get one runner on via an error with two away. Law, next man up, forced the runner out at second with no damage done. The Orphans appeared as if they might be headed for another rally in the third as they worked on the slants of Samanski for a free pass and a double but some nifty chucking by Whitby's curly haired pitcher (it isn't a 'Toni' in case some fans wonder, as did some of the Cobourg fans) fanning two ended the in- ning. * The Stokers went down in order in the fourth as they found the lights very hard to work under. Samanski took no extra time in re- tiring the side for the home team in the last of the fourth as he faced the minimum of three in this in- ning. The locals tied the score in the first half of the fifth as Sundin led off with a single after W. Sam- anski had gone down short to first on a neat pick up by the Orphans short stop. Sundin stole second and scored as Dafoe hit a ball down to the short stop and he muffled it Dafoe getting to second on the play. A. Samanski and Spencer went down to end the rally. The Cobourg team, seeing that the Stokers were no pushover, even being handicapped by the poor lighting system and the announcer coaching the Cobourg team over the loud speaker, decided it was time they got a rally going. They rap- ped out four hits and made them good for three runs and the home team appeared to have the jump on the locals that was going to spell defeat. The Stokers put. a different slant on the game in their half of the sixth. Law, first man up, was safe on an error, E. Sam- anski singled, Mayne next man up his his lusty homer to tie the score with none out. Ross went down second to first, W. Samanski got his second hit of the ball game, Sundin fanned, Dafoe singled scor- ing Samanski but A. Samanski went down second to first. The score now stood Whitby 6, Cobourg 5. The home team went scoreless in their half of the sixth. The Stokers went two up in the first half of the 7th as Spencer led off with a double, Law then came up and singled Spencer scoring on the play. Law was caught out going into third on a very close play that looked to many of the fans to be called wrong. E. Samanski fan- ned, Mayne got his second hit of the game with Ball now pitching but Ross fanned to end the rally. Then came the drastic second half of the seventh when the Orphans worked on Samanski and then Mayne for six runs. This was the blow that stopped the heating of the Stokers and they were forced to play the third game, which will be played here on Tuesday night. So plan to be on hand for a real bang-up game.

Osborne who moved to Tucson, Arizona, early this month. Reproduced below are portions of the letter which their Whitby friends will read with in- terest. We arrived in Tucson on Thurs- day, August 17. At present we are staying at a very lovely motor court. The furniture is modern and the color combinations stunning, There are two tiled bathrooms, two big bed-sitting rooms and a white kitchen. Prices are real low now, but in the winter they get $10 a day for each unit. The swimming pool is enclosed in a cement wall across from our units and is most luxur- ious. - The water is a pretty crystal blue. The pool is drained, vacuum- ed and disinfected every morning. The children are mad about it and as brown as can be even now ... The temperature has been 108 here in the daytime and 80st night but it is so very dry. The nights are balmy. The houses and motel have a cooling system, so inside it is very cool and comfortable. Tucson is on the desert and almost completely surrounded by moun- tains, the largest, the Catalina, a beautiful range. Winter folks are rolling in so we have been busy house-hunting and now have a very nice house on 2625 East Drachim Street. We hope to get into it not later than Septem- ber 1. All the houses are bungalows with no basements and this is a five-room bungalow. It has three nice bedrooms with a double bed in each and is nicely furnished and fully equipped. The stores are very nice, though we figure groceries are about 15 percent higher than in Canada. The war scare has put priees up. We are told that the school standards in Tucson are supposed to be the highest in the U.S.A. We will be living near a grade school ana the children' will be in a Junior High which has from the 6th to the 9th grades. Spanish is taught here in- stead of French. Tht University of Arizona is here, enrollment 6.000. It is a magnificent spot set in grounds spotted with palm trees. They are very strict about traf- fic laws here, especially in school zones. For every mile you exceed the 15-mile speed limit you spend one hour in jail and pay $50 fine. Everyone here seems to 'be from somewhere else -- and so friendly. I've never had to drink so much water, lemonade, etc, in my life; you simply have to keep drinking but the tap water is lukewarm. We had a pleasant trip down. It just took us one week from Parry Sound. We had no mishaps except a blowout on the desert. You never saw a tire get changed so fast! Even the spare was so hot you could scarcely touch it. Then we got stuck $35 for a new tire! To go back to the trip down. We found the motel accommodation excellent and prices in the middle west were reasonable . . . We will be glad to hear from our friends in Whitby. A number of important matters were dealt with at a meeting of the Executive committee held in the library of the hall, with a good representation present. Plans for the 25th anniversary of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, and for the 24th anniversary of Whitby branch 112, were reported to be well ad- vanced. It is to be held on the evening of September 29th, and lat- er a complete program will be re- leased. Another important event to be held is the observance of Remem- brance Day on November 11th, The program will include the annual memorial service in a local church, the service of remembrance at the cenotaph and the banquet in the evening. Committees have been set up to make all arrangements. A number of our members took part in the Warrior's Day parade at the Canadian National Exhibition' on Saturday afternoon. This is al- ways a chance to meet with old comrades. New furniture has been placed in the library but the furnishings are not yet complete. It is expected that the new bookcases will be in place very shortly. First regular meeting of the fall season will be held on Wednesday evening, September 6th. Claim Driver In Collision Was Careless Eric Butler, 20-year-old resident of Pickering, was arrested by Whit- by police on Sunday afternoon and was charged with careless driving as the result of an accident in which two automobiles were ex- tensively damaged. In the accident an auto driven by Butler and owned by Bert Jenkinson of Vancouver, was in collision with an auto driven by George Broome, Perry Street, Whit- by, at the intersection of Byron and Ontario Streets, The charge was laid following an investigation by Sergeant M. C. Banks of the Whitby Police Force. Butler was travelling south on Byron Street while Broome was proceeding west on Ontario Street. The impact drove the Butler vehicle over a ditch and on to the lawn of the house owned by Donald Gibson. |. Neighbors said children had been playing on the lawn a few seconds earlier. SEARCH FOR FLAMING PLANE Callander, Aug. 28--(CP) -- A provincial police search party head- ed into the bush near here Sunday night in search of a plane that several Callander residents said they had seen go down in flames. Airports, landing floats and Govern- ment agencies reported they had not planes in the area.
