PAGE FOUR oT ~ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1951 7 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 ra WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Protest Bringing Of D.P.s to Canada As Canadians Enlisting ! If and when a war breaks out, end displaced persons brought from Europe drift into the indus- dries at big pay while young Cana- dians are in war service, they should be required to work for $1.10 a day or whatever the army pay may be. This was the opinion expressed by Immediate Past President of the Provincial Com- mand of the Canadian Legion, and chairman of the Poppy Day or- ganization, s at the of Zone E.1 held last night in the 'Whitby Legion Hall Zone + 'The rally, presided over by Commander Jim Lovell, 2 Osh- awa, brought together Legion members from Whitby, Oshawa, Port Perry, Uxbridge and Bow- manville. All branches were rep- resented on the platform with District Commander Frank Threadgold and the guest speaker "of the evening, and several im- t matters were discussed There was also t) tertainment re! The question of displ sons, some 76,000 of them it was sald, brought into Canada to take pi of Canadians now being asked to enlist for war ser vices was raised by Comrade Reardon, a member of the Whitby, branch, who sald that these men were being brought here while the government was cam, for "our young blood to fight while the DP.s take our places." He asked that the Legion should take some action in the form of a protest to the government. Assuring - him that the matter would be dealt with in the Coun- cils of the Legion and that strong representations. were to be made shortly 'to Prime Minister St. Laurent and his cabinet, Comrade Evans, said that these DP.s were brought to Canada under a mis representation, ihasmuch as they signed on to help in agriculture but soon, many of them, walked aewtly from 'the farms and drifted ined the industrial areas. They ewn seemed to be able to get hduges quicker than Canadians, andlihe knew of one who was able toysske over a whole apartment billikding. Canada, said Comrade ndedA a million and a half immi- gross in the next six years, but thai mrgest percentage of them should be of British stock, for thbgaare our kith and kin, blood ofgssur blood, speaking our lan- guage; and sharing in our com- memtheritage. "Le us screen and hagth pick every DP. who comes tomthis country, and not let them cade into Canada when a war if in the offing and move into our industrial areas at lucrative while our own men are upon to enlist," Comrade Evans said, amid applause. He sajd that he would advocate to ent that these people week for $1.10 a day or at the pypvoiling rate for soldiers. "If they do that they can still thank Gpd that they are in this country _ | received the care and attention of working for $1.10 a day, he added. Comrade Evang covered a wide range of subjects of interest to veterans, - but recommended in particular support of the scheme to set up child welfare commit- tees in every branch. The cur- rent essay contest, to promote an interest in child welfare, would be the means of giving out 30 scholar- ships of educational value this year as compared with 26 last year, because of support given by Legion branches and Ladies' Auxiliaries. He asked each branch to assume only such child wel- fare work as it could handle. It did not require a lot of money but involved much time, thought and effort. "Find out what the child needs, get next to him, as it were, and then bring his case to your branch for action," Comrade Evans said, He visualized a great work being done in this connec- tion if only two boys or two girls each of the 2,036 branches of the Legion in Canada. What a great contribution, he said, could be made to the cause of child wel- fare. Comrade Evans spoke enthusias- tically of the Poppy Day organiza- tion which he now heads and which, through the sale of vetcraft wreaths and poppies, gives shel- tered employment to 1300 ex-ser- vice personnel. He favored the setting up of a fund to pro- vide: against any ex-sérviceman or 'his ndents being in need of the Iping hand, not charity, and not being able to get it. He asked that careful consideration be given to the many resolutions soon to be brought before what he termed the soldier's parliament. He spoke of the further effort to be made to induce the government to enact total conscription for the reserve forces only, which had not been favorably received at Ottawa. He said that in one place he visited recently out of over 200 on the regiment reserve list, only nine turned out for parade. The situa- tion throughout the country, he sald, was appalling, with respect to the reserve army. "Let us grasp the opportunity to band ourselves under the banner of the Legion, and not only paying our duties, but taking an active part In that pertains to the welfare of our communities and this great country," Comrade Evans - con- cluded, ' Tells of Service Bureau The meeting was given much valuable information with :- the respect to the splendid work of the Service Bureau by Comrade Bob Read, who sought the co- operation of all branches in ob- taining the many benefits to which ex-servicemen and their dependents were entitled. Much had been achieved, he said, in the past, and more was contem- plated.

Practice It happens quite often when there is a fire in Whitby, that people rush to the scene, park their cars anywhere at all and very often hamper the firemen and endanger their own Thursday night when the plant of the General Mills and Lumber Company burned down, hundreds rushed to the scene, and the police had a most difficult task confronting them. As noted in The Times-Gazette, the mill is not far from huge oil storage tanks, and had sparks set them ablaze there would have been a terrific calamity, More than once, according to reliable information, the work of the firemen was hampered because of the number of people milling around. It was a bitter, cold night, and the firefighters were entitled to every possible break: They did a splendid job, one worthy of the highest commendation. The Oshawa fire de- partment quickly came along to help but were dogged by bad Citizens oftimes rush to a fire, and while they do not intend to interfere in any way, cars parked all over have been known to hamper the movement of fire fighting equip- ment and also the movement of members of the brigade. Fire, true enough, is big excitement, and it can very often, as the papers of the past few days have shown, be very tragic, wit® loss of life and property. Police reserves should never be necessary to keep a crowd away from a fire when so much is involved. But it seems to be necessary, not only in Whitby, but other places. It is, to say the least, a dangerous practice. In the words of the comic strip "they'll do it every time." Judges Mrs, Willlam Forbes, Mrs. Earl Fairman and Gordon Mc- Mahon had a difficult time yester- ! day afternoon at the Kinsmen Rink as they allotted prizes to children costumed for the Dundas Street Public School skating Saviiival. The party was sponsored by the Home Bnd. school Association, President Mrs, D. A. Wilson said. Even Principal Miss Florence Heard "got into the act" as she donned skates and was escorted around the ice by some of the big- ger pupils, Excellent prizes were given by the association, theatre tickets and other fine prizes. After the party, members of the Home and School Association got warm again in the rink office at a little informal team party. First prize winners in the various classes were: Mrs, Stork's room-- Margo Van Deuren, Jeffrey George, Lynda Crawford. Best comics -- Fred Harper, Holly Tavener.

Your gift will be Transport Body Backs Decision The Pickering Transport Co-Op- erative charged that the Milk Con- trol Board had been "hypecritical" in refusing the co-operative's appli= cation to include four more members in the organization. The Board ruled yesterday that four farmers in the Pickering area who now ship their products by commercial transport should not be compelled to use the co-operative's trucking facilities. spokesman for the Automotive Transport Association of Ontario voiced support of the Milk Control Boar 1's ruling, and said the Picker- ing Transport Co-operative had the wrong attitude. "The existing system of transport 3 licensing in the Toronto market was | $0 Job 1) Thursday sight snd unl created not to assist truckers but to help farmers," sald James Mc- Leod, secretary of the Transport As- sociation's milk and live stock trans- porters' division. He said two independent trans- porters now carrying the milk from the four Pickering area farmers would face loss of business if the co-operative had its way. "What the Pickering Transport Co-Operative wants is freedom to solicit business at large, involving duplication of service, wasting mile- age and unnecessary expense, while at the same time holding indepen- dent truckers down by agreement and a system of controls," he main- tained. Fire Investigation May Be Lengthy A air An investigation which will in all probability extend over several days or longer was started yesterday by Mr. Bishop of the Ontario Fire Marshall's office, inquiring into cir- cumstances surrounding the $300,- 000 General Mills and Lumber Com- pany fire Thursday night. Unable to say how the fire originated and faced with a multitude of rumors concerning the plant, Fire Chief Bruce Corner asked provincial authorities to take over. Yesterday Mr, Bishop worked in conjunction with Chief of Police Ronald Love. Meanwhile the levelled ruins of the lumber mill continued to smoul- der and periodically break Iifito flame. Whitby firemen stayed on 4.30 yesterday afternoon, Some of the older men were near the point of exhaustion when they were taken home. Even last night, it was neces- sary for the truck to return to the ruins to throw more water on a section which had again broken in- to flame, The breeze at that time was blowing toward Trinidad Lease- holds tanks, Manager A. G. Martin last night made what arrangements he could to look after the property. He put watchman Dougall McNab on the job to see that none of the standing piles of lumber caught fire, Then the fire was over, it was found that two company trucks were saved and considerable lumber piled & 4 here and there about the plant. Whitby Motors Feature New Buick Models In yesterday's issue of The Times-Gazette, a regrettable error occurred ir the announce- ment of the new 1951 Buick cars. This advertisement should have featured the fact that Whitby Motors, Limited, are the dealers for the new Buick. The new Buick is on display today at Whitby Motors, Limited, and the public is cordially invited to come and see this, the last word in modern automobile transportation. The Times- Gazette regrets very much this error in making the announce- ment, Most valuable "save" made by the firemen was of a large quantity of hardwood in a cement block build- ing. This building almost fell prey to _the flames, Practically all equipment of the Whitby fire brigade was expended during the big blaze. The radiator on truck No. 2 was frozen and had to be sent to' Oshawa for repairs.
