BL cL ATE Party of Times-Gagzette Carriers Are To Attend C.N E. | Labor Delegates Will Fly to Convention In Vancouver N ext Month Bd Cline, president of Oshawa and District Labor Council, and Mike Fenwick, the Council's secre- tary-treasurer, are going to ily wo Vancouver to represent the Council at next month's Canadian Congress of Labor. At its monthly meeting last night it took the council ome hour of time and a lot or arguing to select the delegates. Members were not certain what type of voting should be used and to confuse the issue there were seven nominations for the two delegateships -- the leegest for years, Candidates were Messrs. Cline, Fenwick, William Ruther- ford, Lloyd MacInally, William Talbot, Roy Fleming and W. J. < Wilkins, FENWICK POPULAR Mr. Fenwick was elected on the first count as he secured a clear majority of 23 out of the 42 votes cast. Voices rose in argument as members decided to use the longest form of balloting possible. They agreed that the candidate with the least number of votes each time the ballots were counted should be dropped. By this method, Bill Rutherford got to the semi-final stage but was knocked out before finalists Cline and Mcnally. Trying to speed up the meeting, Mr. Fen- wick interjected remarks on the lines of "I hope you are enjoying: all this" He pointed out to the delegates that the ballots being used were CCF forms so "some members should' feel %at home." "Why do. we have this form of balloting?" asked Lloyd Peel. Mr. Fenwick said it was democratic, as Mr. Peel had known--for he had been in and out of the council enough during the seven years during which that form of ballot had been used. "Now you have hurt my feelings," said Mr. Peel rising to protest on a point of or- der, which never did get explain- ed GET $450 EACH The two delegates will each re- ceive $450 for the trip which will cover plane tickets, wages and ex- penses. That sum was agreed up- on by bhe Council's Executive be- fore the open meeting last night and members, with two objections, voted for the recommendation. "Let us be more democratic," ap- pealed W. Wilson. "Our organiza- tion should not tie down a man to one form of travel. The delegate might not be air-minded and might want to go by train." Mr. Fenwick pointed out that a plane fare was more economical. A delegate could get to Vancouver in nine hours whereas by train the trip would take four days. The Council was paying $15 a day for the man's loss of pay and could hardly be expected to finance a car trip to the west coast. Supporting the Executive for a change, Bill Rutherford said he thought that in the long run it would be more economical for delegates to fly. It would also be far more comfortable. Will Produce Large Labor Day Magazine Delegates to last night's meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council had a group photograph taken. The picture is to be used in the special Labor Day magazine to be issued on September 3 Copies of the 36-page publication will be circulated among the 12,000 union members in the Oshawa dis- trict. ' It was decided that President Ed Cline should follow the custom of previous years and place a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph before the Labor Day parade . The secre- tary-treasurer, M, J. Fenwick, re- that the Council was short of flags for the parade and Bill Rutherford suggested that dele- gates should carry placards pro- testing against price increases. Lonely Isle Enjoys Boom In Crawfish Cape Town, South Africa (CP) --- One of the world's loneliest islands -- Tristan da Cunha, south of Cape Town -- is being trans- formed into a bustling Centre of commercial development. by the lowly crawfish. A modern cannery on Tristan will soon be in full production, largely financed by the British Colonial Development Corporation. Within the first year the cannery expects to export 10,000 cases of canned crawfish and 30,000 cases of frozen crawfish tails. Islanders for many years seldom saw a ship. Now .one regularly makes runs to and from South Africa and another is scheduled to join it before the end of the craw- fish season.

MCINTYRE HOOD Article No. 9 Pittenween, Fife, Scotland, August 14 (By Airmail) -- Bright sunshine blessed our way today for a visit to the ancient and royal borough of St. Andrew's, home of the world's first golf club, the Royal and An- client, and of a famous university. But things of sports and things of education were far from the minds of the people of the city when we drove in there by bus this forenoon. This was "Lammas Fair" day in St. Andrew's, and the city was far from its normal, quiet self. The "Lammas Fair" is quite an institu- tion in many Scottish towns and cities. It is a survival of the old "feeing market" system by which farmers used to hire their laborers. On this day in each year, the farm- ers and those seeking farm employ- ment would find their way into town, and assemble in the market place, where dickering as to terms of employment would go on and en- gagements for the next year's work would be made. The farmer paid the laborer a small fee to bind the bar- gain, and this has become known as the "feeing market". And on that day, various types of amusements and entertainment would invade the town, to try to inveigle the young farm lads to spend their fees. oo The old feeing p: St. Andrew's be- came a carnival :2ity, with thou- ae nds of visitors ™M. M. HOOD [rom nearby places thronging its streets. There was no fair grounds such as Ww have in Oshawa. The streets we used for all the carnival booths and stands. When we got off the bus near the ruins of the old Cathedral, we found the first street we entered filled with two lines of large caravans, these being the homes of the show and carnival people who tour the country, mov- ing from one fair to another. They were elaborate affairs, with neatly curtained windows and ornate decorations. They were parked on this streets for the day, to the esclu- sion of all other traffic. The main street of the city, from end to end, was filled with all the type of thing that is found in the midway of a Canadian country falr, but on a much Targer scale than the Oshawa Fair. There were merry-go- rounds and other types of rides for children and grown-ups. There were games of skill and chance of all descriptions, fruit and candy ven- dors, gypsy fortune tellers, and sellers of novelties and souvenirs, all doing a tremendous business. It looked as if human nature is th: same the world over, because the various booths were surrounded by the crowds of people seeking to get rich quick, just as they do in the Midway at the CNE. But it seemed all too incongruous to find this staid old university centre, with its solemn and dignified grey stone buildings, given over forthe day to the spirit of the carnival. It seem- ed strangely out of keeping with the setting. Education and golf dominate St. Andrew's. The university buildings, some of them hoary with age, are to be found on every side, all of them built of grey stone, some com- pletely covered with ivy which has grown over them down through the centuries. We climbed to the top of the Tower of St. Rule, part of the Cathedral ruins, up a spiral staircase which wound around, in complete darkness, inside the tower. But the reward for the climb was ample repayment in the glorious vista of landscape and seascape spread out before us. To the south one looked away off to the Lothians and Edinburgh, to the north one could see the hills of Angus and the chimneys of the Dundee fac- tories. In the foreground, to one side, was the North Sea sweeping in on sandy beaches, and to the other the fresh greenness of the rural countryside, with the ripen- nig crops penned in within their narrow stone fences. The Cathedral of St. Andrew's, of which only gaunt ruins remain, was founded in the year 1160, in which year construction was begun. The buliding of the various wings of what must have been a massive structure was spread over the next two hundred years. As we looked at the pieces of wall, the broken tow- ers and spires, we realized that it must have been a great size. It was destroyed, however, during the re- gime of Oliver Cromwell, when his Roundheads, inspired by the zeal of the Reformation for Protestantism, destroyed the beautiful structure, and left its walls and towers jagged pleces of masonry, which the visitor can see today. FEW BATHERS SEEN From the Cathedral and the ruins of the Castle we went on to the sea front, to sit on a stone terrace over- looking a large artificial swimming pool built out into the sea, in the same manner was the one we had seén at Pittenween. In spite of the sunny. day, there were few bathefs. But the sands were dotted with people. An attendafit did a good business renting beach chairs at three pence each and collecting a fee of one penny from all who sat fences occured between May 9 an 8 [along the ledges of the terrace. Then we walked along the shore AILY TIMES-GAZE * Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle TTE VOL. 10--No. 196 OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1951 PAGE THREE Palesiine Said Hotbed Of Strife Pastor H. M, S. Richards, speaker of the VOICE OF PROPHECY vention on the campus of Oshawa radio and television group, address- ing the Seventh-day Adventist con- Missionary College on the subject of "The Times of the Gentiles" last night, said that "the question of Palestine §s-one of the most ticklish problems of the Middle East, It is a hotbed of strife." Mr. Richards visited Palestine a few months ago when on a radio world tour, and found not a single Jew in the historjc city of Jeru- salem. "The vast majoirity of Arabs hate. the British and American people because they admitted the formation of the Republic of Is- rael," the speaker pointed out. King Abdullah was recently murdered by reactionary Moslem groups be- cause they believed Abdullah had plans to make peace with the Jews. The Prophetic outline of Holy Scripture pictures unrest and polit- ical uncertainity in Jerusalem and the Bible land of Palestine, "To the Christian believer", Pas- tor Richards mentioned, "every Jew is a living testimony to the inspira- tion of the Bible." As all men are equal before God for salvation, so a Jew has the same chance as any other man or woman, whatever his nationality. But God rejected the Jews as a nation when the Jewish Sanhedrim rejected the Christian faith in AD. 34 at the beginning of the Times o f the Gentiles. Earlier in the day, Mr. Richards gave impressions of his visit to the Sinai desert in Palestine and his ascent of Mount Sinai. and his party followed the very route the Israelites took when they left Egypt, until they received the Ten Commandments from God as they camped at the foot of Mount Sinai, To-day® is Temperance Day for the Adventists assembled at the convention, and Pastor C., C. Weis, of Oshawa, temperance leader for the Dominion of Canada, is featur- ing a number of special temperance programs, This evening at a service to which the public is cordially invited, Pas- tor W. P. Bradley, of Washington, D.C, for many years a missionary to the Far East, will speak on the subject of "Earth's Climatic hour." Flower Show Expected Be Biggest Yet The auditorium of Centre Street School will be a bower of flowers, fragrance and color on Saturday, the Oshawa Horticultural Society holds its annual show there. Mrs: Thomas Fairbrother, chairman, says it will probably be the biggest show yet. Judge of the show will be Mr. district of Ontario Horticultural Society. Highlight of the affair will be the presentation of trophies at 830 pm. by Mayor Michael Starr. The trophies are now on display in the window of the Bank of Nova Scotia, along with cut flow- ers supplied daily by members of the Jocal society. No Spectators To Be Allowed On Track Rails When the Congress of Hollywood Daredevils presented' its thrilling show at Alexandra Park on Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday evenings, seats in the grandstand will be free, and no spectators will be allowed to assemble along the fence surround- ing the track. This is being done as a precaution against anyone be- ing injured should ome of the cars go out of control while going through the program of daredevil feats. The Oshawa Rotary Club, which is sponsoring the event, intimated this, morning that it would not ac- cept responsibility for anyone in- jured while standing along the track rails or fences. Everyone attending the events is therefore requested to take seats in the grandstand, for which no extra charge is to be made. ! to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club- house and Course. We noticed a touch of home near the golf course. This took the form of an Oshawa- dian Chevrolet car of somewhat older vintage, parked by the side of the street, At the entrance to the HR. and A. Clubhouse was an Am- erican Chrysler sedan. The club- house is a huge grey stone building, three or four storeys high, and, roughly, covering about the same area as the North Simcoe Street School in Oshawa. Just outside was the first tee, and we watched sev- eral players tee off to start a round of this famous course. They includ- ed, we were told, several Canadian and American visitors, but we did not venture-out on the course. We can tell Tom Wilson, however, that from what we saw in the way of tee shots, that he would be quite well up to the average golfers we saw playing there.

J.. Fenwick. Delegates were discussing rejection of an eight-point program submit ted last month by Gord Wilson. August. 25, from 5 pm. on, whens Mr, Wilson's resolution was sent to A. R. Mosher, President of the Canadian Congress of Labor, who replied that there should be non- concurrence in the program. Points proposed were against resolutions already passed by the Congress, in- cluding one about trading ' with countries with whom Canada was already virtually at war. CLAIMS ANSWER WEAK "That is just about the weakest answer I have yet heard from a President," stated Bill Rutherford, of Local 222. "Out of the eight points submitted he cannot find one with which he concurs. Here in Oshawa we are running into unem- ployment. Fittings Limited is lay- ing off men and there is the pros- pect of even more layoffs there. There is laying-off at General Mo- tors in a slow manner. "But in the fact of all that, la- bor is not prepared to take a posi- tion on unemployment," went on Mr. Rutherford. Turning to defence production he pointed out that in 1944, according to American Manu- facturers' Association reports, the peak in war production had been reached and lay-offs were in the offing. / "The only way we can have full defence production is to have half the men in the army and the oth- er half producing the things for them to shoot. That means half Clear Thinking Seen Need to Eliminate Propaganda Campaign will not come back while the other half work to make financial profits for companies in the arms race," said Mr. Rutherford. He also de- plof®d the fact that as yet there had been ne official government stand on price controls. That would have to be fought for and he urged that the council should go ahead and adopt the proposed program. LIST OF PROPOSALS The Wilson program, which ema« nated from the Skinner Division labor committee, proposed trade with all countries, the ending. of credit restrictions, a tax to take all excess profits over 4 per cent, a 50 per cent step-up in unemploy- ment pay and a harnessing of the cost of living index with the money brought in by the excess profits tax. "That all seems innocent enough except for its preface--two para- graphs of which we deleted," re- marked Mr, Fenwick. He reminded delegates that most of the matters had already come before the Con- gress of Labor so the two men (Messrs, Wilson -and Rutherford) were bringing nothing new to the Council. There was nothing to get excited about for labor was going to .press for price control and roll backs in prices. Mespite Mr. Ruth- erford's remarks, Mr. Mosher was representing the best interests of labor and making a good job of it. PLEA FOR CLARITY "If we feel that we should face trouble then we could put in a pro- gram but please let us not get it mixed up with peace campaigns and things like that which are not primarily concerned with matters affecting 'the auto industry work- ers," said Mr. Fenwick. There were only four opposers built 1951 Buick car, and a Cana-|.& R Labor Council CCL Delegates After a hectic battle which required five ballots fo elect the second man, the Oshawa apd District Labor Council (C.C.L.) last night chose its two top officers to represent local labor at the coming convention of the Canadi:a Congress of Labor. retary-treasurer, and Ed. Cline, president. Fenwick was elected on the first ballot from a group of seven candidates. It was a see-saw battle between Cline and Lloyd MacInally for the second post. Each time a ballot was cast one low man was dropped until the fight narrowed -| down to Cline and MaclInally. MacInally led all the way until the fifth ballot and then Cline defeated him.

Duri the next 10 days, the gates present unanimously agreed to hold the political discussion, as recommended by the Council's Exe- cutive. i Another Executive recommenda- tion agreed upon by members was that President Ed Cline and secre- tary-treasurer Mike Fenwick should t the Council on the city's Crest Committee. Mr, Fenwick was also delegated to state the Labor Council's position at the hearing, to be held in Oshawa at the end of October, t¥ deal with the applica- tion of the city's Railway Company to increase bus fares. The Council is strongly opposed to any in- crease. Without discussion the delegates last night agreed to make three donations to labor organizations. The sum of $10 each is to be sent to the Hollinger Mine strikers at Timmins, the Singer Company strikers and the local shop assist- ants' union to aid it in its cam- paign to get Eaton's employees in the union.
