' B.C. Universit pStymied By Queer Insects? Savants Know The Answers Vapcouver, March 10--(CP)--A rare insect? Perhaps. be. J _ A strange type of mold? Maybe. A valuable mineral? Could When someone is stymied by a discovery, the whatever- it-is usually winds up at the University of British Columbia. The accompanying letter contains What is it? or," a stock question: sometimes, is it worth anything? The university takes a look. A er unearths a strangely-shaped bone; a house- wife finds a weird bug in the pantry; a fisherman stumbles over a curious-looking rock. The list is endless. Anthropologist Charles E. Borden tells of the time his wife opened what she thought was a carton of groceries. She gasped. The carton contained a human skull, sent along for examination. In most cases a fast answer can be providea; novhing to get excited about. Occasionally, however, a top- notch find is made, Prof. D. C. Buckland, forest path- ologist, says he has added a num- ber / valuable specimens to his collection of tree blights and para- sites through the efforts of curious amateurs, Other departments have added to their collections in the same way. Even laguage instructors become quizz<casters and sometimes the stories have a touching ending. Take the case of a Polish immi- grant, who wished to establish his professional standing in British Columbia." One of his documents was a Latin degree certificate granted by a Po- lish expatriate college at the Uni- versity of Edinburgh. Latin scholars translated the scroll and the man got the position he was seeking. ~Missionary 5 i "From China At Myrtle Church 8. M. PERCY Correspondent Myrtle Station, March, 9--Church service was not so well attended on Sunday, as there are many people sick. Mr. S. A. Saywell be- ing away for a vacation, in his absence, Rev. A. Day, a returned missionary from China took the "arvice. A year before they left ~~ hina, he said, they expected Communist troubles. They do not like missionaries, so the mission- aries sped up their duties in case they had to leave in a hurry, that the work would go on without the help of missionaries. The hospi- tals hid their valuable medicines in hopes that the Communists could not get them. The university also hid its valuable papers. In homes preparations were made by hiding things any place where it was thought they could not be found. People who rent farms did not pay taxes and after the Commu- nists came everyone had to pay taxes. The workers were encour- aged to bank a certain portion of their wages. They seemed to want the younger people to become Communists. There was not- quite so large a crowd at the Myrtle Community all euchre on Friday, March 2. "he ladies first went to Helen imlett; the gents' went to Don- ald Johnson. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The next euchre and dance will be held on Friday, March 16.

President: Gwen Prout's message to the State which was heard early this year was given its third read- ing and was accepted by Congress. Plans were then laid before Con- gress by Ron Wilson for the setting up of a Memorial Fund for the late speaker, Arthur Slyfield. There was no basic idea given as to what form the memorial will take but it will be connected with something that the late speaker took an interest in such as a scholarship, plaque or outstanding books. It is planned to ask all former students of O.C.V.I. for the last ten years to voluntarily contribute to the fund, as well as all students now attending the school. More about this fund will be heard in one of the future assemblies. School Spirit The speeches under the one- minute rule produced some of the hottest debates in a long while at Congress the other night. Most of the people who did get on their feet talked about the much kicked around subject of school spirit. Many agreed that the .spirit of O.C.VI. was dead and had been dead for 'many years, while others claimed that it had been only dor- mant during the vears of the shift system and was now slowly com- ing back. We are inclined to go alqng with the latter statement although it was certainly contradicted at the last dance. However the last dance was not a true indication of real school spirit. It was a poor venture right from the start. The boys in par- ticular could not see getting all decked out in a costume. True, they announced at the last moment that you could come in your "good" clothes but many thought they would feel out of place among everyone who did wear costumes. Despite the poor attendance though Congress didn't go into the red on it, and those who attended certainly enjoyed. Naturally Gwen Prout and Helen Hutchins who did all the hard work felt disappoint- ed and they had a right to but as we said before it just wasn't the right kind of a dance that pleases everybody like a hard- times dance does. Basketball Although the basketball season is usually over this time of year the teams are still being mentioned around the school, concerning the team pictures. 8 The other night when the Seniors had their taken they divided up a two pound box of chocolates given to them earlier by Miss Van Luven as a consolation for losing that close decision to Peterboro. Needless to say the boys got rid of them in short order. Speaking of basketball and the Seniors, O.C.V.I. is expected to enter a team in the city series which begins March 20. Other teams competing in this tourna- ment for the championship of Oshawa will be Central, the Grads and the Flying Irish, Bets FUE 2 In local track circles a few ar- dent runners have been training vigorously this past week for a meet to be staged in Hamilton to- day.

In the brief, the directors said the C.W.N.A. views with concern the big-city and big- business trend toward "arbi- trary curtailment of productive hours of work." . The delegation of 25 weekly newspaper men from all provinces was headed by C.W.N.A. President Lang Sands of Mission City, B.C. publisher of the Fraser Valley Record, and W. E.

"The C.W.N.A.. believes every effort should be made by management, government and la- bor; by farmer, fisherman, small business man and large corpora- tion to increase production not only as the most effective means of combatting inflation but in the interests of national defence," the brief said.

Gov't Wheat Policies Under Fire In Commons Ottawa, K March 10-- (CP) --The |i, setting wheat prices in the last government's wheat - marketing policies came under fire in a spirited Commons yesterday. In fighting mood, the chamber heard a day-long procession of charges and counter-charges siem- ming from thé complex four-year Anglo-Canadian wheat agreement. It heard Hon, Earl Rowe, minis- ter without portfolio in the 1935 Conservative government, charge that the government was guilty of a "colossal blunder" and that its "muddling and meddling" in the farmers' business had cost the wheat grower a cool $1,000,090,000. And It heara Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner, one of the men who negotiated the wheat deal, report that the United Kingdom Govern- ment had turned down an offer of $166,000,000, later reduced to $65, 000,000, as a final settlement under the contract. Much Heckling The debate, on amendments to the Canadian Wheat Board Act, was punctuated by heckling on both sides of the chamber. The dispute, both within the chamber and between the two governments, arises from a clause in the contract which said Britain, | from- that figure to take into ac- two years of the agreement, would take into account the low prices at which she got wheat in the first two years. When the time came for final settlement, the United Kingdom Government held that its obliga tions had been fulfilled. The agree- ment expired July 1 last. Government Paying The Canadian government, to compensate prairie producers who claim they lost money under the agreement in the light of so-called world prices, now is paying $65,- 000,000 out of the federal treasury. Mr. Gardiner, describing . high loss figures as "ridiculous," told the chamber the Canadian govern- ment estimated the loss at $166,- 000,000. It then trimmed $48,000,000 count a traditional differential be- tween Canadian and American wheat prices-- generally regarded as a world rate--and agreed to accept a final settlement of $100,000,000. It lopped another $35,000,000,000 from that total, bringing it down to $65,000,000, because Britain could argue that the $2 price paid in the last two years of the contract was Ontario Spotlight STORE TILL LOOTED Hamilton, March 10--(CP)--Two teen-age crooks sauntered into a candy shop here last night, chat- ted merrily with Mrs, Alice Had- den, the clerk, then forced her in- to the rear of the store while they opened the till.

The meat had been sold in stores as boneless beef but before it reached the public an investigation showed it to be horsemeat. Dr. Seguin said no prosecution was made under the recently-amended law which re- quires horsemeat to be labelled as such. The packinghouse had been warned, however. C.N.R. Orders 12 Diesels From G.M. Diesel Ltd. Toronto, March 10 -- An order for 24 diesel electric switching lo- comotives has been placed by the Canadian National Railways it was announced at Montreal today by E. A. Bromley, vice-president, pur- chases and stores. The units will cost approximately $2,500,000. Twelve of the diesels, of 800 horsepower, are to be built by Gen- eral Motors Ltd, at London, Ont. The others, of 660 horsepower, have been ordered from Montreal Loco- motive Works. The 660 horsepower locomotives are for industrial service where relatively light tractive power is required. When received, they will release the present more powerful units for heavier work. The new. order will bring the roster of diesels on the Canadian National to 289 units. 20 cents above that set in the international wheat agreement, recognized as a world wheat price barometer. Mr. Gardiner clashed with C.C.F. members when they quoted the official record of Parliament to prove their contention that Trade Minister Howe, whose department administered the agreement, had ded that the United Kingdom LAW THERE OUGHT TO BE A By Al Fagaly and Harry Shorten LY So vo voes se PICK FOR A LIFE PARTNER!

J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, urged Mr. Gardiner to produce official documents to prove his point. Mr. Coldwell said he had received letters from western Ca- nadians threatening to launch a boycott of British goods. Mr. Rowe, who sits as Progres- sive-Conservative member for the Ontario riding of Dufferin-Simcoe, said the Canadian government -- not the British government -- was responsible for the dispute. The contract had confused relations with Britain. Ross Thatcher (CCF -- Moose Jaw) charged Liberal members with starting a "contemptuous campaign" to make Britain's Social ist government the "scapegoat" in the wheat deal. To say Britain was to blame was "patently dishonest and untrue."

Drama League Will Present Fine Comedy Monday at 8.00 p.m. over CKLB the Oshawa Radio Drama League presents a story guaranteed to draw the chuckles from the most serious of radio listeners. Directed by Thelma Severs, the play "A Blot on the Landscape," is a comedy written by Spranger Barry and brings to the microphone some in- teresting portrayals of many very laughable characters. | The tale takes place in a bright little American city, containing the usual number of bright and little citizens, 'are dealers and second- hand shops, also a cello teacher for good measure, It revolves around two young struggling people, Kay and Tom Bradley, Kay interested in cello playing, Tom interested in art. The circumstances surround- ing a blot of ink on a portrait causes many moments of anguish for both, as it necessary to have said blot removed, since Tom acci- dentally deposited the blot on the priceless painting in the first place. The climax is reached when Tom's employer requests him to return the picture in just so many hours -- or else. Tom is played by a newcomer to the radio drama league, Tommy Fairbrother while his ever loving wife Kay is played by Pat Major. Steers, the owner of the art gal- lery is played by Bob Greer while Joe, gallery handiman, is played by |, Jack Switzer who doubles in the role of Pete.

LONGER LIFE SPAN Johannesburg -- (CP) -- South Africans today can look forward to six more years of life than people of their age could 25 years Production | Ottawa, March 10--(CP)--Canada has developed a new sulphur-re- moval process in steel making which scientists say will boost the output of total steel by mills of North America. : It was developed in the Ottawa metallurgical laboratories by two young mines aepariment scientists --mainl because Russia controls most of the strategic steel-making material, manganese Dr. J. Convey, head of the project, sai . the new process, now being tried in at least two Canadian mills, could be "very important militarily". Can- ada was ready to let American steel men have the process when it is perfected. It is estimated that it can increase Canada's 8,200,000-ton annual steel output by 10 to 15 per cent, Applied to the huge 100,000,000-ton annual U.S. production of steel, the increase could be "staggering." The project was begun a year ago by S. L. Gertsman, 33, grad- uate of Queen's University and Bruce Richardson, Toronto Uni- versity graduate enigineer. Sulphur removal in steel making is vital. Any great percentage of sulphur left in the steel will cause it to crack or shatter on impact, particularly in frigid temperatures. Present methods of removal in- volve putting the sulphur-removing element, manganese, . directly into the steel furnace . during melting processes Dr. Convey said this is a time-consuming process. The new process calls for man- ganese alloy to be put in the ladle which removes the molten steel from the furnace. The sulphur-re- moving action, Dr. Convey said, is "almost instantaneous" and as a result time and power is saved. The new process now is being tried out at the William Kennedy and Son steel plant at Owen Sound, Ont. It is also being applied at the Que- bec Iron and Titanium Company's plant at Sorel, Que Other plants in the Hamilton and Montreal areas are interested and American steel engineers have visited Ottawa to investigate the project. Mr. Gertsman has visited steel mills in Michigan for con- ferences with steel men there on the new process. Tito Claims Russ Troops Back Foes Belgrade, March 10--(AP)--Yugo= slavia has formally accused Ruse sia of applylng "military pressure" against her and of supplying the Soviet satellites with arms and troops with which to overthrow Marshal 'Tite's anti-Cominform government. Deputy Foreign Minister Ivo Vej- voda summoned a special press conference and told foreign cor- respondents the complaint is being handed to representatives of the Western powers stationed in Bel- grade, It was not being given to the representatives of the Comin- form gover ts only b the Yugoslav government felt these countries already were sufficiently aware of the border incidents and provocations, The document appears to be the Tito government's toughest-talking indictment - against the Kremlin and Soviet satellites since the country's independent Communists broke with the Cominform almost three years ago. The minister was asked whether Yugoslavia is concerned about the possibility of invasion from the East this year. He replied that the Yugoslav gov- ernment is not given to making prophesies, but added that the de- tails outlined in the White Paper show "that the people in Yugo- slavia should be concerned and ready for any possible occurrence."
