CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Red Cross Ends $347 Ahead Of Objective When the Whitby Branch of the Red Cross opened its 1951 campaign for finances with an objective of $3,000, doubt was expressed in some quarters that the obligations would be met. Now that Finance Chairman W. F. Kelsey and his canvassers have fully completed their work the total receipts stand at $3,347.05. A gratifying feature of the cam- paign is that the 1950 collection was topped by $209.06. Much of the money will be spent - locally while the balance goes to projects of national scope. At the present time, money is being spent in Whitby in a number of ways. The Swimming and Water Safety committee are conducting classes every Monday at the Ontario Ladies' College; the Women's Work Committee makes garments regularly and the articles of the Loan Cupboard are continual- ly in demand for sick persons.

D. Humphreys, KC. rep- ented the Crown. the hearing in magistrate's court, the penalty was $25 and costs or one month, plus licence suspen= sion for six months. Counsel for Reymar submitted that there was no evidence to show carelessness but the Bench chose to accept evidence of Constable Wal- ter Higgins that the accused ad- mitted drinking four or five pints of beer prior to the accident. The accident happened on the Altona Road North on September 13 at seven in the evening. Accord- ing to Constable Higgins, the road was very narrow at this point as it led up to a bridge.

Report From Westminster By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, April 4--(CP) -- A new twist on an old party line has re- sulted' in some breathless research on what things were like in Brit- ain 130 years ago. Prime Minister Attlee started it last Saturday night. He said in a political broadcast he had just been reading a new book by Arthur Bryant, "The Age of Elegance." It dealt with the period before and after Waterloo. Attlee quoted the book as refer- ring to distress and unemployment in Britain after 1815. The author said that because of its blind ac- ceptance of false economic doc- trines the Conservative government of that time allowed this misery to exist. One of the arguments of post- war Britain is whether the coun- try is better off than it used to be. By now, the subject has been pretty well explored. But nobody before has gone back to the Napoleonic era, and unfriendly newspapers raced to the library to sweat up some counter-claims. The Daily Mail, always a lusty critic of the government, came out with a front-page editorial. In it the Mail admitted things were pretty bad in the early days of the industrial revolution, but said "Mr. Bryant himself" acknowl edged In his book that the manu- facturing men who caused so much suffering mostly came from the ranks of the workers. Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, equally hostile to the Attlee ad- ministration, chided the Prime Minister for saying the general level of well-being is higher in Britain today than ever. It turned to Page 134 of "The Age of Elegance" and quoted from the budget of a Leicester wool comber in 1796. The wool comber earned enough to buy every week 10 pounds of meat, two pounds of butter, 34 pounds of cheese, about 19 pints of milk, and so on. The wodl comber's diet sounded convincing enough in this age of austerity, but the argument wasn't over. The Liberal Manchester Guardian rapped both the Express and the Mail, saying Bryant's statistics came from a book pub- lished in 1797. Turn to Page 228 of THAT book, the Guardian said, and it would be seen that the wool comber actually earned about nine shillings a week; his oldest hoy, a bricklayer's helper, drew about £8 Three Years Old Yesterday KATHRYN ISABELLE WELLS Daughter of Mr and Mrs. D.

Crown, Cadi Laud Mechanic Who Fixed $50 Job for 60c "If you were the maintenance man over in the Oshawa Court House building, I wouldn't be feel- ing so kindly toward you," Magis- trate F. S. Ebbs told Robert Goose, 710 Byron Street South, Whitby, yesterday. His Worship dismissed charges of failing to report an ac- cident and failing to stop after an accident. "I don't think they have a maintenance man there or ever had." Goose is employed by Ontario County as painter, plumber, floor- finisher, electrician and general handyman. The court was amazed when Goose said he was able, using his own time and talent, to repair his 1938 model car for 60c. Police esti- mated it sustained $50 damage. "It is apparent from this that Mr. Goose is.a maintenance man rather than a garage man," commented his counsel, Duncan B. McIntyre. "I wish you could do my repair work at those rates," added prosecu- tor Russell Humphreys. Evidence given by Constable Crozier was that at 10.15 on March 25, Goose was driving west on Dun- das Street near Kent on his way up to the County Home. He stopped to pick up a passenger. Just then a truck driven by Gerald Rowland of Ajax, struck his left rear fender. Goose testified: "I got out and looked at the damage. It was neg- ligible to both the cars. I didn't ask his name and he didn't ask mine. I drove on but he reported to the police. I just didn't think anything further was necessary." Magistrate Ebbs ruled that be- cause of the small extent of the damage nothing further was neces- sary. Mr. McIntyre to Chief Love: "You know this man well, Chief. You don't think he's the type of man who would seek to avoid re- sponsibility after an accident." "No, he would not." Mr. Goose said his only comment at the time of the accident was to Mr. Rowland: "You were going at quite a lick, son." Found Mickey In Car, Fined ---- With a warning to be more care- ful next time, Walter E. Dunnet, 29, of Toronto was fined $10 and costs in court yesterday on a charge of having liquor in his car at 5 am., Sunday, March 25 while he was on his way from Peterborough to To- ronto. Constable George Dunbar sa'd he stopped Dunnet's car and found a partly-consumed 12 ounce bottle cf whisky in the glove compartment. He said that Dunnet admitted own- ership and the charge was laid ac- cordingly. However in court, Dun- net denied ownership saying he didn't know the liquor was in the compartment. He said he was tak- ing some friends from Peterbosough to Toronto and had stopped in at his father-in-law's house in Whit- by. There was no evidence that Dunnet had been drinking. "How did you come to stop this car?" the magistrate asked Con- stable Dunbar. "We do, on occasion, at such an hour of the morning," was the re- ply. a year. The. family spent more than it earned and, the Guardian editorial added, probably made up the difference from parish relief, Loftily, the Liberal newspaper refused to draw any political con- clusions. "Not that this proves anything either for or against the Labor government; but he might as well keep the record straight." Doctor's Opinion IsMan Was Drunk "I feel he was intoxicated," Dr. B. A. Hodgins testified yesterday when 'called to relate his findings after examining Howard Kay, 628 Centre Street. North, Whitby, charged with driving while intoxi- cated, Kay enfered a plea of not guilty but after the doctor's evi- dence was taken an adjournment was granted for one week. Dr. Hodgins sald he has not yet re- ceived the results of a blood test but his clinical examination of Kay indicated intoxication. The accused was involved in a minor accident on Byron Street North on the night of March 25. Kay was not represent- ed by counsel. $671,805 PAID ON CLAIMS Toronto, April 4 -- (CP) -- A total of $671,805 has been paid in 298 claims against Ontario's Un- satisfied Judgment Fund, Highways Minister Doucett announced yester- day. The amount represented pay- ments of $553,006 to 399 persons in judgments for death, injury or property damage arising from high- Secretary Stole Funds Of Bowlers Because he has a wife and two children to support, Harry Binns, 26, of Ajax, was allowed suspended sentence yesterday. He pleaded guilty to a charge of theft by con- version. Evidence was that Binns had been the secretary of the Weston Aircraft Bowling League, employed at the Oshawa Airport. Members paid him 75 cents each week, part of which was to have been banked. Some weeks ago it was discovered that $111.70 was missing. "My wife was sick. I had debts and I used the money, thinking I could replace it," said Binns. He told the court that he is well em- ployed now at Ajax and also works part-time as a waiter in a beverage room. A condition of his probation was that he will return the money forthwith. Answers By Vags Didn't Add Up Two vagrants whose answers to Police Constable Bruce Killens "didn't add up" appeared in court yesterday, They were found guilty and remanded in custody for one week, pending investigation of pos- sible records. The pair, Marcus Hogan, 39, of Almonte and Alex Wentzell, 37, of Annapolis Royal, N.S.,, were found on Whitby streets the other morn- ing at 5.15. In court they protested that they had merely asked the officer for a bed over night and were assured that they would be released from the jail in the momn- ing. The magistrate agreed with the action of the officer and told them that they had no business roaming the streets- all night, whether or not they were hitch-hiking some- where, Plan Directive To Control Rise In U.S. Profits Washington, April 4 -- (AP) -- Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston is drafting a new price control di- rective fixing a "fair and equit- able" standard of industrial pro- fits, government officials reported yesterday. It may be issued in a week or two. It would rule out any price in- crease that would bring manufac- turers' earnings above 85 per cent of average dollar profits in the three most profitable years from 1946 to 1949 inclusive. The Johnston formula would re- quire manufacturers to -absorb in- creases in wages, materials and other costs until profits fall below the 85-per-cent level. Then upward adjustment Would be permitted. * 72 MILL TAX RATE Tillsonburg, Ont, April 4--(CP) --The tax rate of 72 mills struck at the regular meeting of the town council last night was the highest rate in the town's history, and an increase of 18 mills over the 1950 rate. FIND BODY IN RIVER Trenton, Ont., April 4 -- (CP) -- The body of Joseph A. Coveney, 46, was found in the Trent River yes- terday. Coveney had been missing since Jan. 30. Coroner Dr. A. E. McQuade of Trenton said Coveney died of drowning. Citizenship Is Topic Of Excellent Address By C. of C. Manager Tracing the evolution of citizen- ship in Canada and making an appeal for Canadians to continue to be worthy of "the high ideals already in our possession," Lew Mc- Conkey, secretary-manager of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Whitby Rotary Club yesterday. His remarks were highly informative, First the speaker pointed out that new Canadians cannot, even if they would, divest themselves of their cultural inheritances. These will be absorbed after a few generations, into the general cultural stream. However, racial origin is not in any way a barrier to good citizenship in an adopted country. It can actually enhance and embellish the adopted culture, Anxiety as to problems that might arise was clearly reflected in the framing of Canada's constitu- tion. Provision was left for appeals to the Privy Council, or instance. Conflicting loyalties have been a real problem in Canada but during the past 25 years there have been definite signs that they have? sub- sided in intensity. / Worked Out Well After 1763, the French decided to remain in Quebec and were granted all the privileges of British citizen- ship. This arrangement has worked out so well that Canada's national life today rests on the basis of both French and British ideals. Again, in the opening up of Western Canada, many racial streams were introduced. This re- sulted in a more careful definition of citizenship as the new population was added to the old. Today, Cana- dian citizenship has evolved to the point where the Canadian parlia- ment is in complete control. But Canada will go further. It must now translate its thinking into terms of world citizenship for the future, and a continuing conscious effort must be made to reconcile all existing conlicting loyalties. As for the] Commonwealth of Nations, the best | and only basis for its continuance | is a well-defined declaration of our | own citizenship plus the realization | of our own destiny. Provincialism Bad A 4 Stiff Sentence To Man Found With Rubby-Dub Know from frequent court ape pearances to have a strong affinity for the type of alcohol used in shav= ing lotion rather than the brands sold through the government oute lets, Herbert Harrison of Oshawa, appeared in Whitby court yesterday. He was charged with consuming lotion and after being found by Sergeant M. C. Banks in a Whitby store with a bottle of after-shave- lotion in his hand. In spite of a barrage of alibis offered by the accused, Magistrate Ebbs had no doubt in the case and fined him $100 and costs or three months in jail. Yesterday, Harrison had no money to pay the fine. thinking which would place the province ahead of the Dominion -- which would view the Dominion as a foreign government seeking to en- force its will by trickery upon a province. He stressed that above our provincial associations, Canada is a great Dominion, first, last and always. Therefore, animosities of race and creed can be removed only by wider recognition of democratic way of life One practical method is to im=- press fully upon new Canadians the importance of the step they are taking. "We can point the way to a bete ter world organization," said Mr. McConkey. "Ours is the greatest traditirn of freedom the world has ever known." At the luncheon meeting yester- day, C. O. Thomas performed the honors of introduction while Clive Hatch well expressed the apprecia« tion of the Rotarians to Mr. Mc- Conkey. With him as guests of the club were George Terry, James Flett, Sydney Goodfellow and Doug- las Langmaid of Oshawa, and H, J. Mr, McConkey scored the type of | Hiscox of Whitby.
