| SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Provincial Title Winners Feted At Pickering It was Hockey Night in Pickering last night. Most of the community turned out to do honor to the Midget "D" club which captured the provincial Minor Hockey Association championship by defeating Ayr. Also guests of honor were the Bantam and Juvenile Clubs which both did well in their own groupings. After a splendid banquet in the United * Church hall, the group adjourned upstairs where they were joined by their adult friends of the community. Secretary of the Village Trustees ® . Cyril Morley, was chairman. He said that the gathering was a real com- munity affair sponsored by the Rotary Club and the Village Board of Trustees. Throughout the sea- , son, the Midget team was under the 'direct sponsorship of Pickering druggist Jack Boyes. ; "I have seen a lot of boys' teams, but I have never been in contact with one that conducted itself bet- ter, that played cleaner or better hockey," said O.M.H.A. vice-presi- dent Redmond Kinchsular of Whit- by. "You lads are a credit to your- selves, to your families and to your county." Then, acting for the O.M.H.A. Mr. Kinchsular presented the handsome gold trophy to team captain Bill Jones. OM.H.A. secretary Jack Christie congratulated all the boys. He noted that, although Pickering has no covered arena and has to journey to Whitby and Brooklin for its prac- * tices, nevertheless the team was or- ganized with success and achieved fine wins throughout the year. Others who spoke briefly were the Midget coach Ray Doble, Reeve of Pickering, W. H. Westney, and Mrs. Kenneth Clarke, Women's Institute president who congratulated the .. teams. H One of the highlights of the even- i ing was the presentation of jackets, the gift of the community to mem- bers of the championship team. Musical entertainment was pro- vided by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ker- shaw. Men's Major League Bayviews and Orphans won two points from the Riverdales and Pin Masters, respectively while the Cobblers were busy taking three from Valmaes and the County Bowl team was shut out by GM.S.

Dear Sir: While I disagree with much of "Citizen's" letter in tonight's paper dealing with the high school teachers' troubles, I do agree that the issue now is not primarily one of salary at all but "the question of recognition of the Federation as a union bargaining agency", I am not at all posted on the leg- islation, but if it is a fact, as your correspondent implies, that the Teacher's Federation has the power to have teaching certificates cancel- led when they "blacklist" a board, that is dictation at its worst, control which goes far beyond the closed shop of labor unions. If there is such legislation, it should be review- ed at once. I am old fashioned enough to think that the board should run the school, federations notwithstanding. I know something about the sal- aries paid here and believe, that while they may need adjustment in individual cases, on the whole they are very good for the days in which we live. The provision of an annual increment of $200 a year in itself guarantees that if a teacher is satisfactory and stays on the job for a few years, he or she will be making far above average wages for the majority of his teaching year. Your correspondent takes a fatalist attitude. It is sheer nonsense to say -that "the board will have to capitulate or leave the school closed". For the past few years, the board has been far from deaf to requests for salary increases from its teachers and has granted substantial amounts over and above the annual increments. The fact that female teachers are making over $3,000 a year is in itself reassuring. It may be true that some teachers should have an increase but surely it is neither logical nor just to say that simply because two or three are due an increase, all should have the same. While it only has a small bearing on the subject, it is a fact that most high school teachers work during the sumer months, either marking papers or at some other job and thus augment ' their income con- siderably. Forgive me for saying so, but it is a fact that many of their wives work, further augmenting the family income. Thus, some of the "underpaid" teachers are actually earning (in terms of family income) about twice as much as you or I. Mr. Editor--we all can't work for General Motors. Finally, two of my friends, also have university degrees. One earns $2,600 per year, the other $2,800. They both have families and their wives don't work. They seem to get Farmers Leave Margarine Motion Strictly Alone The Ontario County Council de- cided yesterday morning that it has enough troubles to deal with, with- out wasting any time on a resolu- tion of the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers Association which was before it for endorsation. The resolution called for county councils to refrain from giving any grants to any institution within its juris- diction that makes use of margatine in any form. Although most of the council dre farmers producing cream for but- ter, they left the resolution strictly alone. Reason: the County Home for the Aged and the County Jail are consistent users of margarine, Yesterday, meeting for its third day this week, council approved of the issuing of a special licence to those who would shoot ground hogs and the Department of Lands and Forests will be so advised. Conversion of Television Actor By R. BARCLAY WARREN Television actor Harvey Fritz had a program, "Out Wickenberg Way" which was hedrd regularly on KFI- TV in Los Angeles. In October 1949, he attended the revival campaign sponsored by hundreds of churches and at which Billy Graham was the evangelist. People may have thought Harvey a good man but he knew differently. A year before he had lined his family against a wall and threatened to kill them all Only the courage of a thirteen- year-old son who had stepped in front of Fritz's divorced wife and said, "Don't kill my mommy," had kept him from being a murderer. Following the service, Fritz went to the prayer room. He became bel- ligerent. He tossed chairs around. In anger he tried to' strike the chairman of the committee, But near midnight that evening, God won the victory. When Harvey Fritz began his next television pro- gram he opened it with "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and "Shall We Gather At The River." He explain- ed to his audience that there were more than mere words to a song. He also told of what God had done for him. When the program was over, his sponsors told him not to mention the name of Jesus Christ on his programs again. To this, a new gentle but born-again Fritz could only say, "Jesus Christ means moré to me than all of the radio programs in Hollywood." The con- tract was cancelled. He was a man without a job. But. . .he had Christ. Within a week he had visited his estranged wife in Arizona and left the children with not a fear for their daddy but a Gospel of John and a way to say grace at the table. So God is changing lives to- day. by pretty well, though they can't afford liquor or automobiles, They own their own homes and pay their taxes--the whole 52 mills.

Says Highest Toronto, April 28 --(CP)-- Pro- ducers have seen to it that very little copper has reached the hands of speculators, but scrap metal, which is beyond their control, has been sold and resold at prices well above virgin copper, J. Y. Murdoch, president of Noranda Mines, Ltd. said yesterday. Addressing the company's annual meeting, he said producers have followed the United States price even since it was put under ceil- ing. The reason for shortage to Cana- dian consumers, he stated, is that producers, after providing for what had been expected to be the home demand, had made forward con- tracts for their surplus, and such commitments must be honored. Since the Korean war demand for copper had been so strong that Canadian producers have had to allocate sales. However; "The copper supply would, at least for a time, have been ade- quafe, had it not been for the ex- port, at fabulous prices, of copper and brass scrap. Fortunately, this practice has recently been stopped." Mr. Murdoch said demand for copper and other essential materials will increase as defence prepara- tions proceed. Mr. Murdoch said Noranda had estimated net earnings in the first quarter of this yeay of $1.19 a share, after providing fof increased taxes. This compares with $1.23 in 1950. In regard to copper operations in the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, Mr. Murdoch said the company's con- sulting engineer, Oliver Hall, has estimated that the Gaspe property contains some 57,000,000 tons of low-grade copper ore, and there are indications of further ore bodies. "Initial steps have already been taken towards the development of this large project. However, an un- dertaking of (his magnitude will HEY, POP, cer up LOOK IN THE MIRROR Copper Price Has Been Given for Scrap Mud Still Following Old Rules In a moment of keen obserwa- tion mother remarked, "This time of year the best broom is a shovel." It's mud season again, and while the rest of us get the blame for it, 1 think the dog brings in most of the dirt. He doesn't wear rubbers and such, and we haven't been able to teach him to wipe his feet, John Gould writes in The Christian Sci- ence Monitor. I notice the world is. changing, and new ideas have devoted fol- lowers, but that mud season con- tinues to be about the same. Change In Road The only change is in the road out front, and that is probably a good thing. But there is one as- pect of that which I think may not be wholly for the better. It's a matter of attitude among men. Years ago our road was the pro- duct of utter necessity, and had no particular aspects of pleasure. Tt was dry between Fourth of July and Labor Day, and even a load of hay behind oxen would stir up a dust that browned adjacent vege- tation, In the winter the snow fell and stayed there, and in the spring came mud. We had no traffic howl- ing by and no crying need for ex- pensive grooming. You went some- where by slow stages, and life was not in a high-octane hurry. When mud season came, you just quit using the road, and a complacency descended on people's ambitions. Now, right by our driveway was and is a ledge. It is a deep-seated affair, designed in the beginning for permanency. It exudes a spring of living water which, in former times, came out in the middle of the road just below. Then beyond, that again the ledge came back. This left solid road way on each | side of a muckhole. Seasonal Victims In mud season some farmer was always trying to get one last load of logs out, or get home one last load of hay to see his cows through. When the horses hit the ge they would feel good about'it, require several years and the mine will not, likely come into production in less than four 'to five years..." Concerning subsidiary companies, Mr. Murdoch said Waite Amulet Mines' new Waite Mine now is estimated to contain some 1,000,000 tons of ore averaging 4.1 per cent copper and 3.15 per cent zinc. It is expected to be in production in about a year," . "Fear" Was Topic At Meeting of Ashburn Ladies MRS. WES. ROUTLEY Correspondent Ashburn, April 28 -- Rev. J. Rid- dell had charge of the church ser- vice at Burn's Church on Sunday, April 22, at 11 o'clock. He chose for his text, Genesis 39, verse 1, "And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Iskmeelites; which had brought him down thither." During the service Misses Catherine Fisher and Shirley Lynde sang a duet, "Back of the Clouds." The sympathy of the community is extended to the wife and family of the late Edward K. Graham who passed away at the Ross Memorial Hospital, Lindsay, on Friday, April 20. The funeral service was conducted at the Mackey Funeral Home, Lind- say, on Monday, April 23. Interment took place in Groveside Cemetery, Brooklin. The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies' Bible Class was held on Tuesday evening, April 24, at the home of Mrs. Luther Bradley. Mrs. Wm. Gardner, the president, occu- pied the chair and opened the meet- ing with a short poem, "Fear." Mrs. A. Paynter led in prayer. The scripture lesson, Psalm 46, was read by Mrs. C. Bryant. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The invitation to attend the regu- lar monthly meeting of the Faith- ful Group of Myrtle, in the Myrtle Church on Wednesday, May 2, was accepted. Mrs. R. Batten, Mrs. Ed- gar Heron, Mrs. W. Routley and Mrs. C. Andrews were appointed as a program committee for this meeting. The report of the visiting com mittee was given and Mrs. Wm, Gardner, Mrs. Norman Anderson, Mrs. Wes. Routley and Mrs. Edgar Heron were appointed for the visit- ing committee for May. Mrs, J. Duff and Mrs. Russell Lunney were appointed as the program committee for the regular May meeting. Mrs. Edgar Heron kindly offered her home for this meeting and it was decided to have a plant exchange. Mrs. A. Paynter then presided for the program. Miss Peggy Graham gave the tpoic, choosing for her subject "Fear." Mrs. Lorne Parrott read a number of quotations on "Fear." A short poem "Anxiety" was read by Mrs. A, Paynter." Mrs. E. Heron sang a solo, "Away Far Over Jordan." The meeting closed with the Miz- pah benediction. Mrs. Lorne Pare rott, on behalf of the class, extend- ed to Mrs. Bradley a vote of thanks for her kind hospitality. A delicious lunch was served and everyone enjoyed a social time to- gether. The final meeting for the season of the Social Club was held on Friday, April 20, in the Myrtle Com- munity Hall, with a good attend- ance. Twelve tables of euchre were played. Mrs. Russell Batten and Mrs. Oliver Lane were the prize winners for the ladies, and the men's prizes were won by Messrs D. Johnston and Harold Walker. Following the cards, dancing was enjoyed until the wee small hours of the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Wes. Routley and daughter Helen, visited last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lilley of Markham. Mr. Walter Anderson of Toronto, spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Purdy of Toronto, visited Miss A. Dowson, during the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Poil of Bow- manville, visited the Batten home on Wednesday. and would kind of ease off in their labors. This got them in exactly the wrong frame of mind for the muck- hole ahead, and they would flounder in it nicely. Upon fording it, they would then find themselves on the ledge again with the stupendous job of getting ithe load through the mire, and their feet would slip. Then they'd just give up, and the man would come in to see grandfather and ask for some help. I still have the logging chain he used -- a long 'hand-forged device intended for the heavy work of that generation. At times he'd keep the team harnessed in their stalls so he wouldn't lose time. He'd put his team up ahead so'they"d have good footing, and then out would come the load. Beyond a "Thanks, Tom" from the other farmer, nothing was ever said about payment. In those days it was considered proper for a man to need help now and then, and for another man to give it. If a debt of some kind was implied, the creditor would say, "Oh, no -- that's all right. every year. DONALD H.

The minister told the Commons that immigrants were examined overseas and again at the point of entry in Canada. The second check on arrival was necessary "because it is in Canada that landing or en- try is granted and the department has experienced impersonation." He did not elaborate on this point, Mr, Harris made the statement in reply to complaints by John Fish- er, CBC commentator, that physical conditions at Moncton airport were "deplorable," that immigrants were delayed at Montreal and that de- partmental personnel there lacked an adequate knowledge of foreign | languages to deal with newcomers from foreign lands. Mr. Fisher, in articles printed in The Toronto Telegram, said that the "very human factors of excite- ment or emotion were apparently not considered" by "departmental personnel in dealing with immigrants he accompanied recently on a plane from overseas. Dealing with each of Mr. Fisher's points, Mr, Harris said that there is only one immigration officer at Moncton, where incoming planes do not usually land unless diverted. Better facilities there in the form of a new waiting room are being constructed. None of. the staff at Montreal re- called any difficulty during the in- terviews of passengers on the flight made by Mr. Fisher. As for linguis- tic qualifications, the staff there could, in addition to Engilsh, con- verse in 13 languages and had a "working knowledge" of Russian and Dutch. Leipzig, April 27 (AP)--Disgrunt- ed East Germans have found a simple method by which to criti- cize their Communist government and get away with it. They call this tiny outlet for dis- sent the practice of "free discus- sion." The phrase is an exaggera- tion; the conversation isn't free, it must be guided by a Communist. But they can voice opinions which otherwise probably would land them in a concentration camp. Here's a typical instance: An American travelling to Leip- zig recently was telling his fellow passengers of life in the United States. A dapper young man broke in: "What you report of America's economic achievements may all be very well, but we here are more in- terested in what you did to Dres- den." Destruction of large parts of Dresden by American bombers is a major theme in Communist anti- U.S. propaganda. A dental surgeon from Leipzig, said, "well now, let's discuss this for a moment." * "Of course," the Communist re- plied, "this is a discussion." These were magic words, bestow- ing the licence to criticize. The dentist accused the East German rulers of authoritarianism, denied that West Germany had been transformed into an armed camp, declared the U.S. wanted peace. The Communist argued back, and when the train pulled into Leipzig departed amiably. Why have the Communist per- mitted this carefully fenced-in area of almost free expression? Partly because, as one Leipzig non-Communist put it, "free dis- cussion" is essential to the Come munists' far-flung system of agita- tion by Stalinist missionaries. These are specialists well-schooled in- the arguments for and against German Free Discussion Can Criticize Red Leaders Average Ontario Pay $50 Week Toronto, April 28 -- (CP) -- Em- ployment in Ontario, with a few regional exceptions, remains at a high level, the Ontario bureau of statistics and research reported Friday. Only in' the North Bay-Parry Sound-Bracebridge area and at the lakehead were there any declines in the first few months of this year and those were slight. The average salary and wage in manufacturing across the province broke through the $50 figure early in the year. It was at $49.08 in January and went to $52.18 in February. The bureau reported construction contracts valued at $215,000,000 were awarded in Ontario during the first three, months of 1951, This figure was more than three times the amount awarded in the same period for 1950, the bureau: said. . Defence contracts awarded in Ontario between Nov. 20, 1950 and March 15, 1951, were valued at $33,558,000. More than half of the contracts went to Greater Toronto and district.
