D. THOMAS, M.LA. The swweak irom the Throne took yh Yorer eye 1a week. Jovernment m:tmoe,re wert engaged in defend- ing; oe government and opposition menbers in attacking the adminis- tration : Premier Prost has indicated that a number of cabinct members would take part in the Throne Speech de- bate this session, a procedure which has not been followed in recent years. He sald they would deal with the policies of their various depart- ments. Probably his most import- ant statement was one which seem- ed to indic: te that the government was not prepared to accept those sections of the Hope Commission report on education which would in- volve interference with the Separ- ate schools. He pointed out that the commis sion's report on that point was far from unanimous, and that the gov- ernment did not intend to depart from "the way of experience which we have been following" over the past 100 years. There were many other changes in the report, he said on which the commission had greed and they could not be set Kside, although their accomplish- ment would take time. He strongly criticized the Liberals for having announced they would repudiate the Report, having as he said, "tos- sed it out of the window," before they could even have had time to read it. The Premier also criticized a re- cen: radio broadcast by Henry Nix- on, (Lib. Brant) in which, Mr. Frost said hé had completely misrepre- _ sented the financial situation of the government. He also made ref- erence to some of the recent re- marks of the newly elected Liberal Leader, he said "When I look at the hon. member for Brant. (Mr. Nixon) and realize he has been in the house for 32 years, and when I read this radio speech of his, 1 think how much he had yet to learn, about this province of ours. I suggest to my hon. friend (Mr. Nixon) that he go down and discuss with his leader (Mr. Thomson) and point out that if these errors can arise on the part of someone who has been here all these years, what about some- ody who hasn't the opportunity of ting in the House and listening o the discussions which take place." The government had' done and would do great things for the farm- ers, the premier said. He referred to the promise to improve rural tele- phone. communications, the wide spread program of snow ploughing on country roads and the big Hydro expansion program' which, he said, had brought Hydro power to 136,000 new farm families. E. B, Jolliffe (C.C.F.) Leader of the Opposition, referred to the re- cent decision of the Milk Control Board respecting the application of four farmers in Pickering to join the Pickering Milk Transport Co- sane of the Legislature for] operative. This co-operative was initiated in Pickering some months ago and in the few months it has been operating has been highly suc- cessful. A group of farmers forme ed and incorporated a co-operative shipping company and they have been allowed by the Milk Control Board, the Joint Transport Com- mittee in the Toronto market, and by the government to transport milk to Toronto for a limited number of members. They are growing, so that they sought to add to their numbers. Four more farmers in Pickering applied to the milk board in Toron- to, join this co-operative and the application was turned down last Tuesday afternoon. The experiment in co-operatives in Pickering, in particular has been most successful for with a capital investment of $3,- 600.00 the 16 farmers have amassed a surplus of $672.00 in eight months. This experiment has been watched with interest right across the Prov- ince, and with the statements of the minister of agriculture who has said on numerous occasions that he would back co-operatives for farm-mark- eting to the limit, many in the rural areas are surprised at this decision of the milk board. This application was refused mainly because of the pressure brought forward from the vested interests in the shipping business of this area. The Leader of the opposition, E. B. Jolliffe, challenged the government to state its policy on co-operatives, but up to now the premier has refused to reply. The government will be pressed by all our C. C. F. members taking part in the Throne Speech to take a definite stand on the question of co-opera- tives and state their attitude to this decision of the Milk Board. Farquhar Oliver (Lib.) repeated the call for a provincial municipal conference. He said it should not deal with financial problems alone, though they were important, but with such other matters as civil defence and decentralization of in- dustry. The Liberal house leader mention- ed the excellent report presented last year by the legislative commit- tee on conservation, which had been approved by all groups in the House, and said it was a tragedy the gov- ernment had given no indcation that it intended to implement the basic principles of that report. He urged the government to pro- vide better old age pensions on its own account without waiting for a Dominion-Provincial agreement, and to inaugurate a scheme of pen- sions for disabled persons. Referring to the Satement Premier Frost, the previous day, t none of the Liberal members had stepped out to. make way for a seat for the new leader, Walter Thomson, Mr. Oliver indicated that Mr. Thomson would contest a seat in the next election and not before. ~ Oshawa Agent Attends Two-Day Sales Clinic om Travel agents from many parts of Clinic organized by Trans-Canada Air Lines were guests of the airline on operations. the last day of the meeting and were and return, Ontario attending a two-day Sales flown from Toronto to Niagara atone | The Sales Clinic was held for the purpose of acquainting travel agents representing TC.. with the many phases of the Company's Included in the picture is H.

PARKINSON Correspondent Port Perry, Feb 12--Friday was a great day for the lads from Port Perry High School for on this last day of the Port Perry-Uxbridge Whitby basketball schedule, the PP.HS. cagers put an end to the undefeated streaks of Whitby schol- ars the home seniors taking their tilt 30-26, while the Port Juniors really pulled the upset of the cage series as they downed the powerful Whitby Junior aggregation 43-34. In both contests clean play, top- otficlating and the continuous tight score provided for the most exciting basketball displayed here during the past cage se... .. The senior game was of particular importance since, by winning their last game against Whitby, the Port Perry Senior squaa tied théir Whitby rivals for icague honors over | the schedule play, and by so doing they forced a two-game, total point play-off series, the first of which will be played Monday afte noon February 12 'in Whitby, while the d game is slated for Port Perry, Ask Price Freeze As Of Last June oting there "was a general ramble on the part of businessmen to increase their prices" the quart- erly meeting yesterday of the East ern Ontario Area Council of the United Steelworkers of America de- manded a freeze on prices as they existed in June last year. Control of present prices would bring no relief to the consumer since costs have already been increased 'to an abnormal level, it was charged.

The junior game, while it meant nothing as far as the play-offs are concerned (the Whitby squad hav- ing qualified for this right som2 time ago), raised plenty of enthusiasm for the local juniors, who played well previously, but just failed in the final frames of previous games, to come up with enough offensive strength to hit the victory tolumn. Senior Game The senior game opened with the tall Whitby crew making three clean baskets from about centre-floor and before the first quarter was six minutes old the visitors had jump- ed into a 10-2 lead. From then un it was fairly even, with the home squad displaying clever ball-hand- ling but seeming to be baffled by the height of their opponents, The second quarter saw both squads bat- tle on even terms with the Port lads missing many close-in tries that kept bouncing right back out of the hoop. Before the first half had clos- ed, Sutherland had tallied 6, Moore- house 5, Rowley and Stott each picked up 4 for tne visitors to give them a total of 1§ points; all the home squad could muster wee 11, these being tallied as follows, Rodd, 4; Griffin and Cawker, 3 each; Wal- lace and Haugen 1 each. 3 The second half of the contest took on a different aspe:t as the home cagers also tripled their rivals scoring during this twenty minute interval as they racked up 19 points to 7 by the Whitby crew Nimble George Rodd once again proved he can't be kept down too long and, contrasting with his usual clever tactics of sinking them from close in, Rodd drifted home long shots and tallied 8 points to bring his evening's total to 12 an individual high for the senior tussle. Biz Norm Haugen cut loose with a few of his unusual one-handers to sink twc baskets and one foul, and thus garnered 5 during the hectic final session. With about five minutes to go confusion arose concerning the amount of time left, the home squad erroneously thinking there were but 3 minutes left being at that time leading by three points had elected to rag the ball, only to find out that minutes later there was still about three minutes leit. At this point the Port lad. were lend- ing by a single point, this having been picked up seconds prior on Haugen's free throw. The actual three minutes of the game were as thrilling as a game could be, with the play-offs being the pay-off of a basket being sunk at either end. After the visitors had rolled the ball around the ring at the Port end of the floor Haugen and Rodd salted the whole issue away as they took rebounds ai ihe opposing end, to drop in all-important baskets that] sent the under-rated locals int> a| two-game total-point play-cif series with the Whitby Squad. The win- ners of this series must be declared in time to meet Bowmanville on Friday of the coming week. Junior Game Although for overshaded in height by their powerful Whitby opposition, a game quintet of unexperienced Port Perry Juniors came up with a terrific display of both offense and defense to upset a previously un- defeated junior aggregation of vis- itors by a 43 to 34 tally. While Jack Kippen carried the home offensive' as he tallied 18 points, Collins, and Dobson deserved much credit for some line offensive work; this com- bined with heady play by Ed Prent- ice and the strong all-around play of captain Johnnie Waldinsperger spelled defeat to the powerful Whit- by cagers. Waldinsperger, was greaty greatly responsible for set- ting up his mates early baskets; during the final half of the tilt Wal- dinsperger sank four sensational | field, goals and two free throws to] provide the margin of victory. Lanky MacDonald of Whitby was the best man on the floor for Whitby as he tallied a dozen points in a loosing cause while the rest- of the scoring offensive of the visitors was fairly well divided between Beckman, Don- ald, Henstock, and Schmidke. In the initial half the lead see- sawed back and forth between the homsters and the visitors as Mac- Donald of Whitby and Kippen of Port Perry piled up 8 and 10 points respectively to lead their teams offensively. Against the towering tirst line of Whitby, Port Perry first | elected to use their two 6 foot for- wards, Dobson and Collins in a| strictly defensive capacity and this| tactic seemed to be largely respon- sible for the home team coming off the floor with a 20 all tie at the half. In the second half the homesters came up with another defensive bit of strategy, electing to use the reg- ular guards, plus an additional for- ward, Jack Kippen on guard when the towering first string from Whit- by came on the floor. During this time, Waldinsperger carried the play to the visitors and tallied four bask- ets for the home squad. Against | the second squad Kippen was John- nie-on-the-spot and garnered eight more, which added with his first half's score totalled 18 for him dur- ing the evening. During the senior play-off it is expected that several of the juniors most probably, Kip- pen, Waldinsperger, Collins, Dob- son, and Prentice will be moved up to the senior squad.

Sales Course Has Splendid Start Off The Retail Sales Course sponsor- ed by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, had its first lecture last week, and it was attended py store owners and managers and their employees who were vitally inter- ested in the advancement of better public relations between the gen- eral public and management. George Allen, who is sales and advertising counselor for the entire ly recommended. He is Director, Advertising Course, Shaw Schools Limited, Tqponto, also Director .of Advertising "and Sales Courses of the Central High School of Com- merce in Toronto. This course is put on by the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce for the sole benefit of every Retail Store in Oshawa, and it is our hope that re- tail stores will avail themselves of the opportunity of having their staff participate in these lectures which are so beneficial. The second of this series of lec- tures will take place in the Gen- osha Hotel tomorrow night, Tues day, February 13, at 7:30 p.m. The World In Review Is B.L.F. Theme (CONTRIBUTED) A very interesting lecture was heard by the Oshawa Branch of the British-Israel World Federa- tion on Sunday afternoon. The speaker was J, Sproule of Port Cre- dit, his subject "The World in Re- view." Even the man on the street is becoming conscious of the world storm that is gathering. We have seen the Victorian era give way to- the industrial era and we are about to pass from mass produc- tion, We have stated there would be a war between the forces of God and anti-god, we have met with deri- sion in the past but many of these people do not scorn now but listen, they cannot ignore the course of world events. We have seen the passing of kings since World War 1 and the rise of three dictators. In 1939 a war was launched during |, which two of these dictators van- ished leaving Russia and in the countries the Soviet have overrun are factions of Nazism and Fascism. The iron curtain has divided the world into two camps and the countries under Soviet control are a solid block of Communism, the third war may even now be started in Korea. The conflict called Ar- mageddon is on the agenda. In Bible times when nations reached their ultimate in wicked- ness God destroyed them." Because Israel rebelled against God, He gave world rule to Nebuchadnezzar for seven times or 2520 years. We have seen the passing of the Babylonian succession of empires, Babylon, Medo-Persian, Grecian and Roman. The British Common- wealth is the fifth world empire, that Empire told of in Daniel that would . never be destroyed. Britain may .be in difficulties and men may think she is finished, but she will come through. PROFESSOR SUCCUMBS Quebec, Feb. 12--(CP)--Dr, Andre Simard, 51, professor of surgery. at Laval University, died Sunday night following a heart attack, He was the grandson of Dr. Alfred Simard, former dean of medicine at Laval and of the Hon. F. G. Marchand, Song Recital At YWCA The local chapter of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers' Asso- ciation represented the third in their series of Sunday evening musi- cales at Adelaide House on Febru- ary 11. : Mrs. Fleming, program convener for .the. "Y", expressed delight at the quality and variety of these presentations, voicing the hope that they may find a permanent niche in the Y.W.CA's wide range of community activities. Reginald Geen introduced the young artist, Miss Geraldine Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H, Lee of this city. Miss Lee is studying with Mr. Geen in preparation for her associateship degree and she played an exacting program with distinction and finesse. The Prelude and Fugue in E flat Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach was the very beautiful opening number, played with understanding and clarity, The difficult entrances 'lof the theme in the Fugue were handled with ease and competence. Beethoven's A flat Major Sonata, in four movements, was the big item on the program. The familiar theme and variations was followed by a brilliant Scherzo that con- trasted dramatically with the som- bre Funeral March of. the third movement. The final movement, in Rondo form was nicely articulated and brought to a close the first group of pieces. Following an intermission were three well chosen numbers begin- ning with Chopin's A flat. Major Etude, a composition showing marked contrast between its melodic and rhythmic elements. This was very beautifully played, with sensi- tive phrasing and artistic shading. Tango, by. Albeniz was a dreamy, lilting number in the Latin manner, Waltz in E Major, by Moritz Moszkowski was a brilliant bit of playing showing mud grace and delicacy of ornamentation. With this number the young pianist con- cluded her recital. Thanks and appreciation in be- half of the Y.W.C.A. and the vis- itors was expressed by the program convener and announcement made of the next in this series to be held on Sunday evening, March 11. The geheral public is invited to enjoy these programs and there is no charge for admission. CARRIER'S BICYCLE TAKEN On Thursday evening last, a C.C.M. maroon bicycle, the property of a Times-Gazette carrier, was wantonly removed from the bicycle racks at the back of the Daily Times-Gazette building. This bike, earned by persistent saving of route profits by the carrier, was the mainstay of the carrier's fast efficient service to over 100 Osh- awa newspaper subscribers. Any- one that has any knowledge of the whereabouts of this bike, is asked to call 35, Circulation Department, or 1054-M.

Seven or eight medical examinations have been given and on Wednesday the first of the young men will be sworn in by Lieutenant Commander L. M. Picard, R.C.N. (R), recruiting officer. all these young men will be accepted as recruits as the stan- dards, physical and mental, of the R.C.N. are high. It is not at all certain that Lieutenant Commander Picard said that he was pleased with the response from Oshawa. Inasmuch as only one other centre, Peterbore ough has been visited by this unit, he had no standard for comparison but he thought that the work of recruiting here was quite satisfac tory. Processing Takes 48 Hours Processing of a recruit takes about forty-eight house before he is finally sworn in. He must under- go a rigid medical examination which is conducted by Surgeon Lieutenant W. M. Little. He must be provided with educational cer= tificates showing his scholastic at- tainments and with letters from the Chief of Police and others showing him to be a person of good char acter. \ The unit' is operating from the Sea Cadet quarters on the third floor of the Bank of Commerce building at the corner of King and Simcoe Streets, The unit is composed of Instructe or Lieutenant Commander Picard, Surgeon Lieutenant Little, Chief Petty Officer G.
