win Role f Navy In Wartime Is Explained To Kiwanians THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES: GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazerte and Chronicle VOL. 10--No. 126 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1951 PAGE THREE Hobby Fair Owes Debt Gratitude Many Local Groups, Individuals BY MISS S$ MAE DALBY, CRA ' Supervisor of Crafts and Secrétary of the 1951 Hobby Fair Committee The thousands or spectators who will visit the third annual CRA Hobby Fair at the Oshawa Recrea- tion Centre before Saturday night probably won't take a moment to think what all this array of care- fully planned exhibits means in terms of work to the mapy Osh- awa individuals and organizations who contribute to the success of the Hobby Fair. First and foremost on the plan- ning side is the Hobby Fair Com- * mittee--this year made up of Mr. Eric McVeity, doing his third term of duty on this annual event, Mr. A. Perfect, busy chairman of the Cen- tral 'Council of Oshawa Neighbor- hood Associations, Mrs. Per- fect, Miss D. Van Luven, Mr. R. F. Broadbent, Miss Mary An- drews of the Oshawa YWCA and Mr. Harold McNeill of Simcoe Hall. All of ther have spent untold time in planning the Fair. Perhaps the people who have car- ried an even greater burden are new to the Fair set-up this year, the - conveners of the 20 Depart- ments who day by day met all the problems which arose in: connection with the exhibits. The long list of conveners in- cludes Mrs. R. Thomas, Mrs. C. Dolly, Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Hester (Leathercraft), Miss Josephine Beard and- Mrs. Jessie Roonie (Shellcraft), Mrs. Godden (Weav- ing, John Bentley, OCCI (Wood- working), Harold McNeill and D. Hambley (Model Building), H. Gordon (Collections), Miss D. Van Luven, Miss F. Hart and Mr. C. Jolliffe, (Pictorial Art and Design), ¥. Picken (Photography), Mrs. G.E. McLaughlin (Ceramics), Mrs. H. «Ros and Mrs. J. A. Patterson, Miss Viola Lidkea and Miss Mary Allen (Sewing and Fancy Work), Mrs. A. Perfect, Mrs. H. E. Bathe, Mrs. Han- na (Home Cooking), Stanley Rich- ardson- (Scoutcraft and Campcraft) and Bill Owens (Fishing). Another major contribution to the 1951 Fair has been the work put in on decorating the booths and ex- hibits by the Ladies Auxiliaries of all the Oshawa Neighborhood As- sociations 'under 'the leadership of Mrs. H. E. Bathe. Organizations too, like Simcoe Hall, the YWCA, the Oshawa Public Schools, the Osh- awa Stamp Club and the Silver Cross Women of Ontario, have born€ their part of the burden by setting up completely their own ex- hibits. f To these people and to the judges, trophy donors and to many: other individuals and business concerns and organizations, the 1951 Hobby F 1 owes a debt of gratitude.

Government | 0f Curtailing s Accused Freedom 0f Press Across Canada OTTAWA (CP) --. The govern- ment. was accused in the commons yesterday of proposing,. either by design or oversight; to curtail the dissemination of news and the free- som of the press by increasing postage rates on newspapers. The charge was made as Pro- gressive Conservatives opened an attack on a new and revised postal act which proposes, among other things, to boost the mailing charges for newspapers and periodicals by almost 100 per cent. George Drew, Progressive Con- servative leader, saidnothing should be done to limit the circu- lation of newspapers at a time when democracy is threatened, and urged the government to withdraw the legislation pending further study. Joseph Noseworthy (CCF -- York South) bespoke CCF approval of the projected increase and said he thought the people would support increases which would bring news- papers and periodicals "closer to {a point of paying. their own way." * Postmaster- 'General Rinfret, Pi- loting the legislation, said the rates are not taxes, but fees charged for The post of- fice had to increase rates to meet highér - costs but, even with the new rates, it still would be carry- ing papers and periodicals at a loss.' The bill later was given second reading, indicating approval of the principle. Mr. . Rinfret reported that the handling o0f newspapers and perio- dicals cost the department $15,816,- 015 in the 1950-51 fiscal year, com- pared with a postage return of $3,993,963, leaving a deficit of near- ly $12 million. The increase would bring in another $2 million in re- venue. He said the department would be able to reduce the letter rate for all parts of Canada to three cents from four if it collected enough to cover the deficit on newspapers and periodicals. Gordon Graydon (P.C. -- Peel), urging the government to leave the rates unchanged for the time being, suggested the overburdening of those distributing news would be a retrograde step. Stanley Knowles (CCF -- Win- peg North €enter) said he wonder- ed whether the freedom of the press really would be curtailed by the "slight" increase being pro- posed. Mr. Drew gave these examples of the effect the new rates will have on newspapers: A newspaper with a circulation of 10,000 or more, averaging 45 pages each publication day, now pays a postal rate of $3 a year on each copy. The new rate will bring this -up to $7.64. A paper with a 24-page average will find its rate boosted to $4.19 from $1.56. A newspaper with a circulation of under 10,000, avering 12 pages each publishing day, now pays 93 cents and will pay $1.54. among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Bob Reid, Mr. and 'Mrs. Doug Hil- lier and Mr. and Mrs, Lorne Wilson.

Lake Scugog Steamer Trip Is Recalled A very interesting account of the first steamboat trip between Port Perry and Lindsay, just 100 years ago, appeared in the "One Hundred Years Ago" column of The Globe and Mail. The article, which is of considerable interest locally, is as follows: TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1851 Steamer on Lake Scugog. From the Colonist. Perhaps it may arise from my not seeing all the Toronto papers, or those published out of the city, but it has appeared to me strange, that as yet no notice has been taken in the public prints of a recent inter- esting addition to our means of in=- ternal communication. I refer to the, fact of the waters of Lake Scugog being traversed by a steamboat for the first time, on Friday, the 25th ultimo. _. A number of gentlemen from Toronto, Streetsville, Whitby and Oshawa, having accepted the invitation of the owners to be pres- ent at the trial trip, proceeded to the point of embarkation by the really excellent road which leads from Windsor Bay, on Lake On- tario, to Port Perry, on' Lake Scu- gog. After'some delay waiting for the stragglers, the steamer Wood- man (for such is the very appro- priate name bestowed on this new craft) got under way with a num- erous party on board; and, on reaching the foot of the Lake, en- tered on the more intricate navi- gation of the River Scugog. Making her way round sharp turns, and through narrow places surrounded by drowned and decayed timber, the steamer at length reached Lindsay, where her arrival was hailed by a large assemblage in the most en- thusiastic manner. Preceded by a band of music from Oshawa (which had enlivened the steamboat with their performances during the day), the happy crowd of residents and the more staid-looking strangers proceeded to Mr, Mitchell's Inn. Early Spotting Of Cell Changes Cancer Weapon TORONTO--(€P) -- The greatest hope for cancer treatment lies in the early recognition and treat- ment of certain changes in the body's cell structure, Dr. John D. Hamilton of Queen's University, Kingston, Ont., yesterday told the Ontario Medical Association's an- nual convention. Abnormal increases in the num- ber of normal cells in normal body tissue may not be cancerous but may develop into cancer, Dr. Ham- ilton said in a report prepared for delivery to the gathering. These increases -- a condition known as Hyperplasia -- are often imperceptible, but once they have occurred it is impossible in many cases to reverse them, he said. Persistent skin sores should be examined for hyperplasia. and if this is present, they should be treated as a skin cancer even if they are not cancerous. Among women in certain age groups and with certain medical histories, cancer of the breast would develop in one of every four cases if hyperplasia was not treat- ed by amputation, Dr. Hamilton said. "This operation cannot be under- taken lightly," he said, "and for this reason we tend to be conser- vative in our treatment, possibly more conservative than we should be. "From the standpoint of the pathologist, I am convinced that every breast, in which marked hyperplasia of skin cells occurs, should be removed."

OSHAWA Friday, June 1st C. L. COX, |Enemy Submarines r Will Constitute Very Grave Threat "The anti-submarine job of any future war constitutes an extremely grave threat to the essential sea-lines by which we live and on which our fighting power depends to an over- whelming degree," declared Commander H. E. (SB) William Strangé, OBE, RCN, Director of Naval Information, who was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club yesterday. "The anti-submarine job of the® future constitutes an extremely grave threat to the essential sea- lines by which we live and on which our fighting power depends to an overwhelming degree," de- clared Commander H. E. (8B) Wil- liam Strange, OBE, RCN, Director of Naval Information, who was the guest speaker - at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club yesterday. Kiwanian Art Crockett, an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy dur- ing World War II, introduced the guest speaker, revealing to his fellow Kiwanians the meritorious naval career of speaker as well as review- ing briefly his success in other fields of endeavour, as a writer, lecturer, world traveller, etc. The author of three books, Commander Strange received the first award given by the American Institute for educa- tion by radio, as the result of his radio broadcasts on Britain, in war- time. Following the extremely interest- ing and informative address in which the speaker revealed for his listeners many facts not generally appreciated and left a challenging thought with each listener, as to his personal responsibility in the welfare 'of the navy, President Don Storie, in a sincere speech, voiced the keen appreciation of the club meémbers, to the guest speaker. THE NAVY MEANS BUSINESS At the outset of his address, Com- mander William Strange pointed out that its title, "The Navy Means Business," had been carefully and deliberately chosen to attract the interest of the layman and ordinary businessman. The speaker took the first few minutes of his time to point out that the title'of his address, while meaning that the navy is serious about its efforts, also means that the navy protects and fosters busi- ness for Canadian citizens. In turn, he indicated how the navy was a producer of business and a defender of business. Speaking of the development of the navy, he declared: "There is no fooling about this. We are recruiting men as fast as they can be trained and manning ships as fast as the trained men become available; we are acquiring new ships of ultra- modern design and equipping our ships with ultra-modern armament. We are not underestimating the navy's job." } The speaker pointed out that no business can survive without trans- portation facilities and that while in Canada transportation is usually thought of in terms of railroads or highways, nevertheless, without ships, there would inevitably be a catastrophic reduction in Canadian business, since so much of the country's welfare and progress is dependent upon sea-borne trade of exports and imports. 'Commander Strange went on to point out that in 1950, gross national income of Canada was over 17 billions of dollars and of this almost 25% .(23%2 %) resulted direct- ly from exports by ship. Canada, it was stressed, . despite .a population of only some 12 millions, is the third largest: trading nation in the world. He went on to show also that in a large measure, the major portion of Canada's import trading is via sea -- and this' statistical picture, the speaker stressed, is in terms of peace-time business. "In time of war, these vital factors are changed only by an alteration in the nature of the goods transported and a Forestry Graduate. WILLIAM HISCOCK Son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hiscock, 312 King Street East, who will ¥e- ceive his Baghelor of Science of Forestry degree from the University ol Torento at the annual convoca- tion, greatly increased urgency," he s#id. "The danger to our sea cofne munications lies, of course, pringie pally in the submarine," declafed Commander Strange. He pointed that in the last war, in the year 1942 alone, German submarines sank 1,064 merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean and more tHan six millions of tons of cargo went.to the bottom. In addition to this 16ss, there was the effort required to produce both that cargo and the ships carrying fit. "You may remember that Mr. Churchill has written that the sube marine -- and only the submarine -- gave him some doubt as to the final outcome of the war. The total toll taken by the U-boat in the Second World War amounted to 141. mile lion gross tons of shipping. The truth is that the U-boat very nearly brought about. our 'downfall. Yet, by modern standards, it was hot such a very dangerous U-boat! ™ "Its top speed under water was about 10 knots, and it could no# remain submerged . for more than about 36 hours when bn patrol. Thé modern submarine can attain almost twice that speed under water, and can remain submerged for any time up to two months! It is harder:to detect, harder to catch and harder to destroy. Indeed the two factors I have * just mentioned alone have profoundly affected the whole strate egy of submarine warfare. They have reduced the difficulties . of countering submarine attack ine finitely greater than anything that was encountered in the Serend World War. SUBMARINES IMPROVING, T00 "Furthermore, there is nothing static about the development of the submarine -- or ideed its weapons! Under-water speeds of 25 knots -- around 30 miles an hour -- are cone sidered entirely possible. Ability te dive to a depth of a thousand feet is now envisaged.
