Banks, His Worship said: "I am not at all satisfied with the evidence by this witness. I do not think he has told the whole story." When passing the original sent- ence, His Worship said to defence counsel A, W. 8. Greer, KC.: "I hope you were not suggesting, Mr. Greer, that any person who gets a few pints of liquor in him, can travel at midnight to the Chief's house and the Mayor's and cause trouble." And to the accused: It is most unfortunate at this par- ticular time that tijese two officials had to be singled out to be visited in the small hours of the night, at this time when other complaints are being made against them.

In the main shop- ping centre of Oshawa there are 24 shop sales ranging from "gigantic clearances" to inconspicuous signs announcing "reductions." The Times-Gazette this morning conducted a survey of the main shopping arteries to see how the factory holidays were affecting the stores and retail outlets, Sixteen businesses have followed the lead shown by industries and have shut down to give their staffs a holiday. One lunch counter has put out the cryptic sign--'gone fishing." Another establishment, a barber's shop this time, looks like a modern counterpart of the Marie Celeste mystery. Coats hang on the chairs, magazines are opened ready to read and the barber's salon looks as if the hair-clippers put down their tools and fled off on their vacation.

"But one condition is indispens- able to freedom and to progress the world over. You and we -- the United States and the British Com- monwealth and Empire -- must stand and work together. When we are disunited we do the Soviets' job better than they can do it themselves. "The Soviets may from .time to time offer friendly words and ges- tures. We should not of course re- but them, but we should test them out. On no account must we relax our purpose which is to seek peace through strength. Any success we may have attained so far must be just an encouragement to preserve. It is proof that we are on the right road.
