JAMES SKINNER Peterborough, Oct. 3 -- James Skinner, retired city passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Co, died yesterday morning at Civic Hospital after a lingering illness of nearly two years. The superannuation of Mr. Skin- ner, July i, 1938, ended 49 years of service with the company, chiefly in Owen Sound and Peterborough. He was born in Inverarie, Scotland, 80 years ago, and came to Canada with his parents as a child of three years, He received his education in the public school and Collegiate In- stitute of Lindsay, and, when he was 14, he got his first job there as a messenger boy with the old Great North West Telegraph Com- pany. . In that work he became a teleg- rapher, transferred to the C.P.R. at Woodstock, and subsequently at other stations between Toronto and Montreal. In 1897 he was transfer- red to the passenger department as chief clerk under the late T. E. Boddy who was the city passenger agent at the company's uptown office. Promotion made him city ticket and telegraph agent at Owen Sound, and after fourteen years in that responsibility, Mr. Skinner was transferred to Peterborough in 1912, succeeding the late William McIlroy as head of the uptown passenger and telegraph office of CPR. He continued in that posi- tion until 1938, retiring - with the reputation of having produced in twenty-five years "numerous men who have attained responsible places in our great company," ac- cording to the tribute paid to him by P. G. Galbraith, London, then inspector of the department of communications, at dinner in To- ronto at which Mr. Skinner was a guest of the company. His fatherly interest in the young men who passed through his train- ing and encouragement was reflect- ed in the fact that he "had never found it necessary to dismiss an | employee, which must surely be something of a record," as cited by Mr. Galbraith. Mr. Skinner was a charter mem- ber of Peterborough Kiwanis Club, a life member of Peterborough Bowling Club, and was for years | an ardent curler. He was also a member of Peterborough 'Lodge, | 155, AF. and AM. and Peterbor- | SuEh Lodge of Perfection, A. and . | Son of Alexander Skinner and] Margaret Fraser in Scotland, Mr. | Skinner leaves his wife, the for- | mer Annie Londerville, daughter | of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Londer- | ville, of Hastings; his son, Fraser | Skinner, of Kingston; his brother, William, of Kingston, and sisters, | Mrs. Wm. Grant, of Birmingham, | Alabama; Mrs. Albert Knight, Ash- | burn, Ont.; and Mrs. David Mac- | Kenzie, of Calgary, Alta. | The body is resting at the Bel- | leghem funeral home, Hunter St.,| until Wednesday afternoon, when | the funeral will take place, to Little | Lake cemetery.

He was not thought to be wearing a hat. It is gmite possible that Mr. Sly- | field may be suffering from am- nesia. He has not been well for the past few weeks, police were told. An intellectual type, well in- formed and a very fluent and exact talker, Mr. Slyfield, who was about five feet ten or eleven inches in height and weighed about 190 to 200 pounds, was well known as a naturalist and particularly as an ornithologist. He founded the Bur- roughs Field Naturalist"s Club, named after the naturalist John Burroughs of whose writings he was a particular keen student, at | the O.C.V.I. and often used to take groups of students out on walks and bird-watching hikes. The areas he particularly used to frequent have been thoroughly searched to- day by police but to no avail. Mr. Slyfield was of fairly stout build. He had blue eyes and brown hair and was balding. He walked with a slightly stooped carriage and a rather rolling gait. His face was full and his complexion slightly pale. His many friends in this district, all of whom were familiar with his characteristic appearance, were asked today to be on the look- out for him. Mr. Slyfield was 45 years of age. He attended the O.C.V.I. as a stu- dent and after graduation studied in Peterborough Normal School, Af- ter a period when he taught at Centre Street School he went to the O.C.V.I. as Librarian where he has been for 23 years.

Sloan has been appointed as the district commissioner in Ajax. The next Guide meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 11 at 8 pam, at the home of Mrs. Sloan, 13 Durham Street. Electric Iron Cause of Fire Ajax, Oct. 3.--Ajax firemen had a hurry call yesterday afternoon to the home of Mir. and Mrs. A. Currie, 4 Nelson Street. Apparently the children had used the iron to press something during the noon hour and forgot to switch it off before leaving for school. The ironing board had been placed across the backs of two chrome kitchen chairs and over the seat of a chesterfield chair. The overheated iron burned a hole in the board and dropped to the seat of the chair and was not discovered until the children came home from school. The alarm was turned in and the Ajax brigade immediately responded and had things under control in short order. Mr. and Mrs. Currie were both at work at the time. Court (Continued from Page 1) them by sections 91 and 92 of the Act and these powers must be found in either of these sections. "The constitution of Canada does not belong either to Parliament or to the legislatures: it belongs to the country and it is there that the | citizens of the country will find the | protection of the rights to which they are entitled." Argument in the case was heard last May when Ontario and Alberta supported the Nova Scotia argument that delegation of powers by govern- ments was constitutional. The Fed- eral Government, while not arguing against delegation of powers, held that such delegation was illegal un- der the existing constitution. The case dates back to 1947, when the Federal Government was concluding important tax- ation agreements with the prov- inces. The Federal Government asked the provinces to remain out of income, corporation and inheritance tax fields and re- ceive in return lump-sum an- nual payments. Nova Scotia signed an agreement and then decided to test the validity of the delegation of taxation and other powers. A bill providing for the delegation was submitted to the Nova Scotia Legislature and then referred to the Supreme Court of the Province for a ruling. (Drunk Driver Gets 10 Days A sentence of 10 days and pay- ment of court costs or an additional 10 days was imposed on Heary Townsend of Toronto who pleaded guilty to a drunk driving charge before Magistrate F. S. Ebbs in Whitby Police Court this morning. Townsend driver's licence was sus- pended for three months and his light truck was impounded for a similar period. He was arrested at 11 p.m. last night by P.C. Bruce Killens of the Whitby Police Force on Brock Street North. Killens told the court that he saw a truck owned and driven by Townsend proceeding north and weaving back and forth across the road. He stopped the car apd found the accused in an intoxicated condition. Townsend said that the truck was his only means of livelihood. There was no accident. Remand Accused For Judgment Clayton Meisenheimer, 170 Sim- coe Street South, Oshawa, was re- manded for two weeks for judg- ment on a drunk driving charge af- ter evidence was heard in Whitby Police Court this morning. He en- tered a plea of not guilty. Magis- trate F. S. Ebbs commented in re- manding the accused that it is a matter of who is to be believed. Evidence in the case conflicted. Meisenheimer stated that he was not in the car at the time he was arrésted, the motor was not run- ning and the lights were not on. P.C. Bruce Killens of the Whitby Police Force testified that the ac- cused was behind the wheel, the motor was running and the lights of the car were on. P.C. Killens told the court that he was patrolling on Brock Street South, near the lake, when he no- ticed a car stopped with the door open. He investigated and found the accused in what he called a "drunken condition". Meisenheimer had to be helped from the car to the police cruiser. Meisenheimer told the court that he had done considerable driving on that night, September 9, and to stopping near the lake at Whitby. There he had _ consumed some liquor and, he said, he intended to let a passenger in the car, James Fagan, drove the car home for him. Acting Crown Attorney R. D. Humphreys, K.C., pointed out dur- ing the cross examination the im- probability of the two men driving around for three or four hours and and beer in the car, and not having had any to drink. . Russ Gt ---- (Continued from Page 1) gation expected Rau to differ sharply with the Russians, and to demand that post-war elections in Korea be held under the strict su- pervision of a U.N, commission. Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet foreign minister, yesterday threw Rus- sia's Korea program into the debate after he had rejected the eight-country idea--already favored by a U.N. majority--to set up a commission with strong Asian representation to stabilize Korea as a unified country, supervise eleetions and arrange for relief. The committee's afternoon ses- sion yesterday was filled with a series of satellite repetitions of an earlier speech yesterday by Vish- insky. He charged that South Kor- ea and the United States were the agressors in Korea and that a U.N. watch-dog commission there tried to cover up for the U.S. Poland, white Russia and Czecho- slovakia argued, often in the same language Vishinsky had used ear- lier, for the Soviet viewpoint. South Africa then broke the Soviet thread by announcing complete support of the eight-power plan and rejection of the Russian program which had just then been made known, In addition to demanding an im- mediate halt to hostilities, the Russian plan asked immediate withdrawel of foreign troops. from Korea, holding of elections under a special Korean commission with U.N. observers to include Russia and Red China, and U.N. economic and technical aid. Foote and Wels". Rumored Resigning L.C.B. Positions The Ontario Government is not satisfied with conditions in some of the province's beverage rooms and bars and is planning steps to tighten its inspection service and exercise greater control. Thig~fact was stressed yesterday id' rumors of high-level changes in the Ontario Liquor Control Board. Reports of resignations or replacements have been prevalent at Queen's Park for some time. One of the strongest of these speculations was that Rev. J. W. Foote, M.P.P. for Durham and vice- chairman of the control board al- ready had tendered his resignation. Mr. Foote has been particularly in- terested in alcoholism research and the rehabilitation of alcoholics. It | was believed that the long-time lag in getting the province's projected hospital for alcoholics under way was the cause of his dissatisfaction. Mr. Foote's answer late last week, when asked if reports of his resig- nation were trde, was: "I have made no Statement about it." He referred questions to Premier Frost. Report Held Groundless Yesterday the Premier said the report was groundless, Also reported anxious to step out of the control board was Chairman Arthur Welsh. He also is provincial secretary sd recently was appoint- ed"head of Ontario's civil defense effort. Mr, Welsh, it was said, was tired | the program commences at 8:15 of tne pressure brought to bear on a liquor commission and, in addi- tion, felt he would need more time for the civil defense job than would be possible if he retained the liquor board post as well as his provincial secretaryship. The job done by Mr. Walsh as chairman of the Liquor Control Board, a post it was known he did not relish, generally has been re- garded as a good one. Perhaps of signigcance is the fact that his resignation has most freely been rumored by some hotel oper- ators. One, in fact, several days ago, predicted Mr. Walsh would re- sign or be removed at the first of this week. It is known that Premier Frost, while concerned with some aspects of liquor law enforcement, has full confidence in both' Mr. Welsh and Mr. Foote. Judge Robb to Remain Judge W. T. Robb, also rumored on the way out as chairman of the Liquor License Board, knocked that report on the head. "I have mo intention of relin- quishing my job on the Liquor License Board," he said last night at his Orangeville home, Somebody, said Judge Robb, had been doing some wishful thinking. It is almost certain, however, that some changes in the province's liquor control setup are in' the offing. Premier Frost conferred twice, for extended periods, with Mr. Welsh and Mr. Foote yesterday. It is expected the result of these deliberations will be made known within the next few days. J that he had nothing to drink prior | parking once or twice with liquor | Canada (Continued from Page 1) out for the years ahead is one of enormous defence costs, duty for thousands of Canadian service men abroad, higher taxes, expanding armed forces, sacrifices by the in- dividual which could get worse if Moscow steps up its many-sided campaigns. Korea started all this. It won't end with Korea. Ministers aren't pulling any punches about the cost. External Affairs Minister Pearson said re- cently in a broadcast from New York that "we (Cabinet) have de- cided for next year roughly to double our defence budget . . . to about $1,000,000,000." That is roughly double the entire annual average Federal budget be- fore the war. At Kingston Saturday, Mr. St. Laurent said: " . . . The maintenance of high standards of living and increased welfare is an objec- tive which competes directly with demands for ever-increas- ing defence activity. This is what is becoming for our gen- eration the old question of guns and butter. '"...1It is not really as stark as that in a country like Canada . . . though it is obvious that some of our personal wants will have to go unsatisfied . . . in building up our strength we must never lose sight of the fact that its primary purpose is to prevent war and that the prevention of war may require many years of sustained effort." To that, in a Navy Week broad- cast last night, Mr. Claxton added these remarks: "The apparently-imminent col- lapse of Communist aggression in Korea must not be taken as a sign that our efforts to build and main- tain strong defence forces may now be slackened. Far from it. The long-term danger still remains. And it will remain for a long hard pull over many years unless sooner ended by the Communists them- selves plunging us all into war." The alarm sounded by Korea, they say, is going to ring in the Western countries for a long time to come. Pierces (Continued from Page 1) bristles with 250,000 Russian troops. | He visited a new air base and an infantry tank compound. A westerner on such forbidden territory is vulnerable to arrest and possible shooting as a spy. The congressman said he was escorted on the trip by a Rus- sian officer he befriended while they both were doing liaison work during the Second World War. Chatham told this story: He recognized the Russian, in civilian clothing, in a West Berlin night club. "He threw his arms around me and we had a good talk. He asked if I would like to take a trip with him and I accepted." The next day the Russian took Chatham to the Soviet sector of Berlin, put on the uniform of a senior Red army officer and took a Jeep from the Russian motor pool. He barked his way through half a dozen check points, ex- laining his American com- panion as a friend from one of the East European satellite countries, At an airfield completed only six weeks before, Chatham said he saw new jet planes with swept-back wings that appeared to him as sleek and fast as the latest Ameri- can types. At another base, he said, there were about 20 tanks built lower than anything he had seen while in combat in both World Wars--about three feet high but armed with long guns. Chatham speculated the tanks might be almost immune to ordi- nary fire from weapons which could not lower their muzzles enough to aim at the low tanks, At the end of the trip, Chatham said, the Russian donned civilian clothes again and brought the con- gressman back to the West.
