A mobile exhibition consisting of an.exact replica of the furnishings, carpets, drapes, silver, linen, glass and china of the dining room will visit major cities in North America. Responsible for the tour is a group marketing organization "Great Names of Great Britain", which is this year launching a British home furnishing prestige campaign in Canada and the U.S.A. Buyers at British Industries Fair 1951 (April 30 - May 11, London and Birmingham) will have a pre- view of some of the beautiful china and linen, etc, which are to be flown across the Atlantic for inclu- sion in the mobile exhibit. Total value of the B.LF. exhibits is over $30,000, and they form a special dining room "fit for a Princess" in- to which members of the group or- ganization have put their many years' experience of supplying fur- niture and furnishings for the Royal Family. Here is a brief Jlook-around the Royal dining room: . Gleaming mahogany furniture with satin inlays is featured. Chairs upholstered in yellow antique satin. Almond coloured walls make a pleasing contrast - to the forest green ceiling. Chintz draperies in varying tones of gold and green. Cream colored nylon curtains. Yellow candles and roses. Minia- ture coat-of-arms attached to rib- bons make effective decor. Apple green wall-to-wall carpet is a most refreshing note. Bullet spotlights flanking crystal chandelier highlight a festive table setting. Clarence House HM. The King designated Clar- ence House as the official residence of HR.H. The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, and H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in November, 1947. £50,000 (about $150,000) was voted by the United Kingdom Parliament for recondi- tioning and redecorating the house, which had been used as wartime offices since the death of the pre- vious occupant, the Duke of Con- naught. Little had been spent on the house since it was rebullt by Queen iVVctoria's second son, the Duke of Edinburgh, in 1873, and much work had to be done to equip it as a modern residence. Renova- tion was completed in July, 1949, when Their Royal Highnesses mov- ed in. Clarence House, adjoining - the west end of St. James' Palace, was originally built from designs by John Nash, incorporating an older house, for William, Duke of Clar- ence. When he succeeded to the Throne as King William IV, he and Queen Adelaide continued to reside at Clarence House. It was later oc- cupied by the Duchess of Kent, mother of Queen Victoria, after whose death it was reconstructed by the Duke of Edinburgh. It was oc- cupied by the Duke of Connaught from 1901-1942.

The attendance and inter- est were evidence of the progress made during the four and a half years since the organization of the Woman's Associations of Oshawa Presbytery into the larger group. Interchange of ideas and methods of work are more helpful. The splendid leadership given by the past prseidents, Mrs. Clayton Lee and Mrs, A. A. Crowle, has had much to do with the success of the movement. Mrs. H. T. Fallaise, Whitby, was welcomed as the in- coming president. The Autumn Rally will be held at Myrtle, on in- vitation.

Farmers are getting busy on the land, but only 'the high and dry places are ready for tractors. Horses are still best for the softer spots, but there are not too many of them on the farms any more. Some places you may not find any, and few have more than a team for emergencies. Leaves on the crab- apple tree are thick enough to ob- scure vision of the road, and the lawn-mowers are in demand. Rev. C. E. Fockler, Markham, representing the Ontario Temper- ance Federation, will occupy the pulpit at Kedron on Sunday after- noon. You are cordially invited to be present.

Highjacking (Continued from Page 1) coe Street South Plant of the Skin- ner Company in the early morn- ing hours of April 1. At that time police investigated a call that something was amiss at the plant and during their investigations picked up two men, Levy and one Max ° Mornstein. Subsequently, through the efforts of police offi- cers, a third man was picked up, Harry Swartz. He was apprehend- ed by Toronto Police, working on information given from Oshawa. Preliminary enquiries were begun by police here and Ontario County Crown Attorney Alex Hall, K.C. As a result all three were released the same day. No charges were laid at that time. Criticism Aroused Release of the men occasioned a certain amount of criticism includ- ing a querulous editorial in the To- ronto Globe and Mail. After con- sultation with the Attorney Gen- eral's Department, it was decided to press charges and Levy and Swartz were again apprehended. Mornstein, to this date, has evaded apprehension although police are seeking his whereabouts. Further investigation on the part of local police assisted by In- spector W. Franks of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ontario Provincial Police, result- ed in the laying of charges against the other accused men. The quintet appeared here in magistrate's court twice and on each occasion were remanded. Le- vy was held for a time in custody and then, like the others, was granted bail. Yesterday was set as the day to go ahead with the hearing which all parties concerned knew would take a long time. Because of the fact that the court room here was occupied Whitby was chosen as the locale. The five were arraigned on the first charge--that of conspiring to receive stolen goods. All five, through counsel, elected to be tried by a higher court so presiding Mag- istrate Frank S. Ebbs was obliged only to hold a preliminary hearing to judge whether or not the charges were without foundation or should go on to be heard before a judge and jury. In such a, preliminary hearing only the Crown witnesses are heard. Metal Dealers Testify A succession of Toronto metal dealers testified yesterday morn- ing. It was evidenced that at least two of them had bought nickel, in lots of over a thousand pounds: or more from Morris H, Baker, who, it was shown, was in partnership with Fruitman, It was shown that nickel, which, judging by the evidence of R. C. McQuire, Superintendent of the International Nickel] Company re- finery at Port Colbourne, Ontario, sold to the manufacturer at 55 cents a pound, was finally turned over at prices ranging from $2.50 to $3 a pound, Investigation® of the incident which was the basis for all charges --namely the attempted theft from the Skinner Company, occupied most of the afternoon yesterday. Tell of Investigation Four police officers were involv- ed in the investigation and the apprehension here of two and in Toronto one man. They were P.C, Dave Wood, Sergeant Alec Alexan- der, P.C. Ted Ferguson and P.C. Robert Smith, a "rookie" who, on April 1 had only two weeks service. The original "tip" 'came from Mort Carey, 865 Simcoe Street South, Mr, Carey was awakened at 3 a.m. by the barking of a dog. He looked out and saw unusual active ity involving a truck and two cars around the Skinner plant and thinking there was something else D. C.

Constables Ferguson and Smith, in a police cruiser, investigated. They kept watch and toured the confines of the plant. Several men were flushed out of the shadows in the neighborhood of the factory and the officers gave chase. During the pursuit Constable Ferguson fir- ed two shots, one in the air and one at the men he was pursuing. He was not successful in appre- hending anyone althfugh he chased one man over a seven foot fence, topped with barbed wire on the west side of Simcoe Street. Meanwhile Constable Smith flushed two men out of the shad- ows and, pistol in hand, herded them out near Simcoe Street where they were picked up by the cruiser. They proved to be Levy and Morn- stein. Find Loaded Truck A truck, presumed to be the one which the burglars were trying to take away, was found at one of the loading docks at the plant, It was loaded with 112 nickel anode bars and 50 nickel cathode strips. Constable Ferguson was subjected yesterday to a gruelling cross-ex- amination by several of the de- fence counsel, particularly Mr, A, G. Martin. He wanted, said the barrister, to be sure that all of the facts were disclosed and something would not be brought up later dur- ing the Supreme Court of Ontario hearing which will take place "six months or more from now." At this point the hearing was concluded. Adjournment was made to May 10, Tells of Deals At the morning session proprietor of the Accurate Machine and Tool Co., Bodi said Stern had offered "to help me out" by supplying the nickel. Bodi later re-sold about 1,000 pounds to M. B. Cohen of Leaside Metal Co. at a profit of 25 cents a pound. Called to the stand, Mr. Cohen testified he had again sold the nickel on the following day to Alloy Platers and delivered it to Pressure Castings Ltd., Weston. His sale price was $3 a pound. Joseph Heuberger, proprietor of Ontario Metal Importers Lid, Bazton St., Toronto, testified he had loaned one of his trucks to Sidney Stern on Feb. 9, and Stern had brought in a load of' nickel for which he wanted "either $2.25 or $2.40 a pound." "It was too much money," Heu- berger swore. "I was not interest- ed." Witness sald he had again let Stern use his truck to make some deliveries. John Telford, driver for Heuber- ger, testified that on Stern's instruc- tions he had taken the load of nickel to Pressure Castings in Wes- ton. By this time the price had risen to $3 a pound, testified Gordon Carr, assistant manager of Pressure Castings. Stern $9,351 for 3,117 pounds. In December, they had paid Stern He said his firm paid |$ $3,636 for a - shipment of 1212 pounds. Inco Official Testifies Superintendent of International Nickel Co. at Port Colborne, Ralph McQuire, swore that Skinner's in Oshawa was the only customer in Canada which purchased nickel anodes in the 4% by 30-inch size the Crown had entered as exhibits. A larger size sheet also exhibited, was not prepared for any one in Canada, but had been destined for a US. customer, he said. Under cross-examination, Mr, Mc- Quire said customers of Interna- tional Nickel Co. were on monthly quotas. He conceded that if a cus- tomer resold nickel, his company probably would not like +it "but there's nothing much we could do about it." He said that two U.S. customers purchased the nickel in the identi- cal size supplied the Oshawa plant. Skinner Co. Ltd. had been receiv- ing approximately 11,000 pounds monthly for the past five months. Received Sale Offer M. R. Cummings, Skinner pur- chasing agent, told of a telephone call in February from a man who said he was M. H. Baker of Toronto.

About a month later, the man telephoned again, this time offering zinc. When questioned about disposal of the nickel, he told Cummings the "shipment never came through." Questioned by Mr. Robinette, wit- ness said attempted thefts of nickel had been reported at the plant prior to Feb. 26, but he did not know if they had been reported to Oshawa police. He said a personal check of inventory between Jan. 1 and March 1 showed a shortage of 2,000 pounds of nickel. Theft was the only possible an- oye to the shortage, he told the court. sion.
