It asserted the country also is being flooded with indecent maga- zines, masquerading as American but in fact printed here. The council is made up of re- presentatives of all major churches welfare societies. It said in its annual report it is determined to bring about "a radical and sore- ly needed change in official policy' toward obscene plays and publi- cations. The report said a "definite de- terioration in the character of pub- lic entertainment on the stage" is taking place throughout Britain. "The exploitation of nudity in revues," it said, 'has now reach- ed such proportions that it is open- ly advertised as the chief feature of many of these entertainments." But the legitimate stage also is getting more and more obsessed with sex, but the council said. "In certain plays we see sexual depravity condoned, and American sailors leering through a telescope at a woman taking a shower," it said. The shower episode is one of the high spots o the Aunerican 28y "Mr. Roberts," based on a novel by the iate I'homas Heggen. In the field of pornographic writ- ing, the council said, there now are on sale here magazines "of a type so harmful and decadent that it is impossible to use words strong enough in condemnation."

It was Ridgway's first press con- ference. REDS FIGHT HARD TOKYO (AP)--Heavy rains and determined Reds fighting from allied spearheads in Communist Korea. On ' the central front, a Cana- dian battalion captured a hill fr a Red battalion Tuesday night only to lose it to a Red counter- attack at dawn. Thé battle still was under way Wednesday night. Canadian troops reported they fought under the heaviest Chinese artillery barrage since the allied counter-offensive opened. But the allies did grind out some gains. Field dispatches reported United Nations troops had fought to with- in 12 miles of Kymhwa, Commu- nist base in central Korea, and seized another crossroads above Inje on the east-central front. In Tokyo, Gen. Matthew B. Ridg- way, supreme allied commander, said the Reds were severely de- feated in their spring offensives but still were determined and capable to renewed all-out battle. Heavy rains swept most of the battlefront today, ushering in Ko- rea's rainy season. Zero visibility cut allied air attacks to 126 sorties. Red troops, seizing the weather advantage, lashed back at U. N. supply lines on the east - central front. A Communist attack cut South Korean defences on the Jnje- Hyon road. Reds set up road blocks, both sides of Inje, covering mined roads with bazooka and ma- chine-gun fire. An American armored force fought through heavy fire and thick mud before seizing a strategic road junction six miles northeast of Inje. The seizure represented a 1%-mile gain for the day. Red resistance X X picking up second para day lead. Red resistance mounted steadily. The Communists apparently were determined to make United Na- tions forces pay heavily for any furthér advance into North Korea, AP correspondent Stan Carter re- ported from Eighth Army head- quarters, U. N. troops had lunged 26 miles north of the 38th parallel border, cutting all motor escape routes from South Korea. But field dis- patches said apparently most Reds already had escaped -- or died trying to get out. Despite the stiffening fight north of 38, there was growing evidence of widespread discontent in Com- munist ranks. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway said 10,000 Reds have been captured since they began their ill- fated 3pHng offensives April 22. He ed: "Desertion has become a de- finite and serious problem for the Communists well back into their 'rear areas.' Ridgway, back from a two-day visit to the sodden front, warned | that Communist leaders would not compromise. And they still have | power to strike again, he said, des- pite "a major, severe defeat" in their spring offensives. Five Chi- nese armies are still in Korea. Rain-drenched U. N. troops had driven the Reds back to the start- ing point of their first spring of- fensive. eld dispatches reportéd Com- munist forces apparently reached a holding stage as allies threatened their staging bases in the Chor- won-Kumhwa-Hwachon triangle.

TRIBUTE TO CRA Mr. Cannon informed the large gathering that John K. Tett, Di- rector of Community Program Branch of the Department of Edu- cation, had told him earlier in the day that Oshawa has one of the best recreational programs in the province, It receives the second largest grant for recreation than any other community in Ontario and the Oshawa CRA seems to call on the departmént's branch offices and central office for guidance and assistance more than any other . community. The Deputy Minister, who be- came supervising principal of Osh- awa Public Schools in 1926 and Public School Inspector here in 1929, who termed Oshawa a "grand city" brought warm greetings and regards from Ontario Premier Les- lie M. Prost and told how sorry the Premier was that he had to 1 the + OSHAWA'S HIGH REPUTATION "In a great many communities in the province they have, as Oshawa has always had, a great citizenhood interested in sports, sports events and sportsmanship, but there is a great deal more to recreation than sporting events, as fine and all as they may be, whether a per- son is participating or watching them. Proof of that is shown around the walls of this building. The CRA here is carrying on a real recreation program," Mr. Can- non stated. Finally, Mr. Cannon said he was glad to see so many citizens of Oshawa so willing to give their time and talents freely to encour- age the further development of recreation, not alone for the young but the older people also, NEARLY 2,000 EXHIBITS Exhibits, numbering close to 2,000 and representing the pastimes of a cross-section of people in the com- munity, were exhibited by hobbyists from Oshawa, Port Perry, Bowman- ville, Whitby, Lindsay, Peter borough and other centres. Alderman Hayward Murdoch, president of the Oshawa and Dis- trict Community Recreation, As- sociation, extended a sincere wel- come to the opening night crowd and explained the fair was bigger than last year and much larger than the one presented two years cat- ago. He said he hoped the fair would be educational for all those who visit it and an aid in the develop- ment of their own hobbies. Mr, Murdoch urged those in at- tendance to act as "goodwill am- bassadors" and to make sure their friends do not miss visiting the fine fair which will be in full swing throughout the rest of this week. He also extended a vote of thanks to the staff of CRA and all those who helped in the setting up of the show, int¢luding the exhibitors, for a job "Well done." MAYOR STARR His Worship Mayor Michael Starr told the gathering he was attending the fair "in the capacity of just béing here and to congratulate you all on what you have done in the past. What will be one in the fu- ture, I am sure, will reach even greater heights." The Mayor explained that the Oshawa Hobby Fair was the larg- est of its kind in Ontario and per- haps in the whole of 'Canada. He praised the CRA for having a program in operation "which most municipalities dreamed about set- ting up after the end of the war. Other municipalities will take years to build up such an organization. The CRA embraces more people un- der its wing than any other organi- zation in Oshawa." The Hobby Fair, he said, was just one of the outstanding works out on for the citizens of Oshawa. "I am proud to be Mayor of such | Business.

Spotlight A move is afoot among principal wool growers of the Commonwealth to themselves against sev- ere price changes. : Details of the proposals, as re- ceived by the wool bureau, inc., Toronto, provide for a $198 mil- reserve price plan on designed to limit any sudden ma- jor price-drop; and for a seasonal level below which prices could not fall. John McEwen, Australian Minis- ter of Commerce, states that the governments of Australia, the Unit- ed Kingdom, New Zealand and South Africa have spent 17 months in negotiating the scheme. The plan, he states, means that in the wool auction rooms there would be an additional buyer with tremendous buying power, prepar- ed to pay the reserve price if it were not forthcoming from trade buyers. Main control, if the plan is ap- proved, will be vested in a central authority incorporated as a com- pany in London. Australia and the United Kingdom would have three directors each and New Zealand and South Africa two each. Before the proposed scheme can be vd into force, a referendum woolgrowers. Mr. McEwen states that the majority of growers favor the plan, but that some are oppos- be held among Australian ed. In Sydney, the president of the aziers' Associ- would be grower - financed, but not grower - controlled. The scheme provides that if the committed in additonal amount needed to main- tain the reserve price. Legislation will be needed by each of the gov- ernments concerned. Hon. K. J. Holyoake, New Zea- land minister of agriculture, states that New eZaland will join in the plan. While Canada is a relatively small wool producer alongside her sister dominions, and is not a part of their organizations, wool grow- ers here are naturally affected by what they do. Wool News, published by Cana- dian Co-operative Wool Growers, Ltd., comments in its current issue: . "Even if the high levels (of wool prices) of recent months do not continue, the raising of sheep in any areas, including Canada, can be depended upon for satisfactory returns. . . The days of the small flock as a side - line are gone -- They deserve a better position in the farming economy even at prices much below present levels for wool or for lamb or mutton. a city; as this, where such a group of people are working for the bene- fit of all the 'people of the com- munity," he stated. Mayor Starr commended the CRA staff, and individually mentioned Miss Mae Dalby, of the staff, and Eric McViety, Hobby Fair Committee, for planning on a show which is very worthwhile, VALUE OF HOBBIES chairman of the Mr, McViety added a word of wel- come to those present and explained that a hobby provides a lot of fun for young and old alike. The Hobby Fair, he pointed out, was a place where hobbyists have a chance to see what. there fellow men are doing for pastimes. "There are all sorts of hobby ex- Some people collect leathercraft T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, MPP for Ontario Riding, said the judges of the exhibits were greatly taken up by the craftsmanship of the dif- ferent exhibits, The selection of the winning exhibts was most difficult, he said. "Hobbies are a good thing to have as a pastime in distracting times," Mr. Thomas stated. He explained that the mass pro- duction methods of today tend to make men and women slump men- tally. "Having a hobby helps a per- son to do his or her own thinking. When we get to the point where we are all doing our own thinking I believe we will find that we will be living in a different world." Reiterating his support to the Mr. Thomas recommended George Roberts, Past President of the CRA, said it was a compliment to the CRA that Premier Frost had intended to come to Oshawa to open the fair. He praised the worth- while work being done by the De- partment of Education in the rec- reational field. Mr. Roberts introduced Mr. Can- non, guest speaker. Al Perfect, chairman of the Qsh- awa Neighborhood Association, on behalf of the citizens of Oshawa thanked Mr. Cannon for coming to Oshawa, Alan Quin, Director of CRA, stressed to the gathering that the exhibits of work on display were not just by people connected with the CRA, but by individual persons and organizations, all across Oshawa and other centres. He thanked those who acted as Judges and also all the people of Oshawa and district who helped make the fair possible, PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT Hobby Fair Award and the Gen- eral Enterprise Trophy -- Won by Edward Tozer, 310 Eimgrove Ave- nue, Oshawa.

In his présidential address be- he said "our business differs from other industries because it is im- possible to determine the cost of our product with any degree of certainty." , A manufacturer "at least knows the cost of his goods when he has something to sell, but the insur- ance business is continually sub- ject to wather conditions, conflag- rations, carelessness of people in home and factory and many other incalculable factors." Mr. Haskins said the 200-odd fire and casualty companies operating in Canada make an average profit of three and a half to four per cent, which he considered not un- reasonable risk to invested capital.

While some adjustments were necessary on certain special clas- ses, there was no general increase in rates although there was 'no underwriting profit on fire business last year." Any necessary adjustments were the industry "can only hope' for a drop in the rising fire and ac- cident waste during the present year. Mr. Haskins said the Dominion Board of Insurance Underwriters has again offered its services to dominion and provincial authorities in the defence program now being undertaken.
