'Papagos Likely To Have Big Majority In Greek Parliament King Has Stated His Opposition I To Rally Party Athens (AP) -- Despite the op- position of King Paul, Marshal Alexander Papagos' new Greek Rally Party is expected to domi- nate the next Greek parliament. Even his opponents admit he may have the largest bloc of de- puties after the Sept. 9 elections. Some observers predict he will have 90 to 100 deputies in the 250- man A Fifteen to 20 per cent of the Greek vote is generally independ- ent. A shift of these floating bal- lots to the 67-year-old military her would insure him of a substantia! majority. J _ If Papagos does win, King Paul will be in an embarrassing posi- tion. In a recent. interview he voiced his dissatisfaction with Pa- 0s's candidacy, although the ne is not supposed to express political opinions. Anti-Papagos newspapers display- ed the interview as the King's of- ficial opposition. Pro-Papagos news- papers accused the King of med- dling in politics. Papagos announced his candida- cy as a royalist who would "re- inforce" the crown. The palace said the King didn't need help. King Paul has made known his dislike for two of the three major party leaders. After the March, 1950, election, he tried to avoid giving the mandale to General Nicholas Plastiras, lead- er of the Progressive Union of the centre. It was only through direct inter- vention by the United States that the King gave the mandate to Plastiras. Only the parties led by Papa- gos, Sophocles Venizelos and Plas- tiras will be of any significance in the new parliament. That leaves Venizelos, leader of the traditional- ly - Republican party, the palace favorite. Miners Back At Hollinger After Strike Timmins (CP) -- Approximately 550 Hollinger miners, most of them off work since July 9, went back on the job today. he a0 others will go back to work Monday. .

Boss, addressing the Empire Club of = Toronto, said Western troops serving in Korea had ac- quired a "superiority" attitude which was reflected in their deal- ings with the Koreans. The pattern had been set by other countries' troops but that apart from two battalions, the Canadians were tending also to conform to it. The 2nd Battalion of the Prin- cess Patricia's Canadian Light In- fantry and the Royal 22nd Regi- ment, he said, were less guilty of the attitude than were others of the Canadian force. But generally the Canadians were more sympa- thetic to the Koreans than were others. ' Boss, home on leave after nine months in Korea, said it might also be considered that the troops abroad had acquired their attitude because they had not yet reached the point at which the ideological issues involved in the Korean con- flict had personal significance. He said: "By this I mean that while the army can make good soldiers of them, and also could prepare them for service in foreign theatres, it is no part of the army's job to teach them religion or a personal philosophy. "That is the job of our homes and our schools right at home. "It might be that--as these men are our representatives abroad -- all of us ought to re- define our appreciation of the issues." Japs Would Salvage Ships Sunk In War Hong Kong, (Reuters) -- A team of Japanese experts has reached Hong Kong on the way home after surveying the possibilities of sal- vaging Japanese ships sunk in In- do - China waters during the Second World War. A spokesman said that 100 Japanese ships totalling about 500,000 tons were sunk off the Indo - China coast. ow The first general census of Bri- tain and Ireland in 1801 showed a total population of 16,345,646. Dixon Family Has Been Active Here For 49 Years The name of Dixon has been one to conjure with in the realm of commerce for upwards of half a-century in Oshawa. It goes Dixon. back to 1902, when the father of the family, Robert owned and operated his flour mills on the banks of a creek out on King Street West. These mills ground their grist and helped to feed the citizens of Oshawa for a couple of decades. Then, in April, 1922, Robert Dixon wr and his son Elmer founded the Dixon Coal Company," with their first building on Court Street. Within three years those premises had become too small for the smount of sales and the quantity of storage that was required. So, the present property, occupying most of a city block, was purchased in 1925. Through the years new buildings A , storage space have bee. oon- { cted as needed, with the last new building, just completed and comprising approximately 3500 square 'feet, used for show rooms principally, as well as offices and service departments. OPEN NEW BUILDING The new building of the Dixon Coal Company Limited, , recently opened, is located at 313 Albert Street. Designed by staff members, in conjunction with Delco Appliance Division and General Steel Wares Limited craftsmen, the building, 80 feet long, is constructed chiefly of brick and concrete block. It is well- lighted, with a large display area, and so designed that oil heating units are on view in actual oper- ation. This, of course, necessitated the building of some extra chimneys and additional oil lines. The units on exhibition are set up as they look in the domestic home. Since 1922, that is, for 29 years the company has sold the products of Hudson Coal Company, with its brand name of D. and H, Anthra- cite. Many other lines of solid fuel have been handled by them for all kinds of heating plants, domestic, commercial and industrial, ranging from the smallest to the largest. They regularly run a fleet of 12 GM. vehigles, and hire additional trucks in the busy season. Hoe imports considerable ton- "7dNge of Western Canadian coals. "-«hey have storage space both at the Albert Street yards and at their dock properties for some 60,000 tons. All the bi coal is brought to the Port of Oshawa in vessels ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 tons. The construction, of their latest additions to space is evidence of the company's continued faith in the prosperity of the country at large and particularly in the progress of the City of Oshawa. : In 1946, feeling that heating equipment was the natural field of a fuel company, the firm was for- tunate in obtaining from Delco Ap- pliance Division of General Motors Corporation a distributorship, com- prising oil burners and boilers, oil- fired conditionairs and coal stokers. This line has proved popular, with many hundreds now installed in the Oshawa area. . In order to give complete service to this added line, they established installing, service and electrical de- partments, so that efficient and adequate protection for all heating equipment is available from the company. NEW DEPARTMENT ADDED In 1949, a new department was added, to include tinsmithing, gra- vity and air-conditioning furnaces, and all types of metal work. Early this year, 1951, there was established an agency for General Steel Wares Limited, manufacturers of the popu- lar McLlary line, which includes electric refrigerators, stoves and washing machines. The company feels that it can now offer the public a varied line of attractive merchandise, and in- vites the people of Oshawa 'and sur- rounding communities to visit the showroom and compare values, without obligation of any kind. Latest additien to a courteous and efficient staff is Fred Cochrane, well and favorably known in the city, and an ardent lawn bowler and curler.

Hamilton (CP) -- An elderly Hamilton man thinks he has struck oil in the city. Wednesday he ask- ed a startled clerk at city hall to issue him a permit for drilling an oil well within the city limits. "I don't think I have struck oil, I know it," he told the clerk with an air of intense conviction. On being told he couldn't get such a permit at the City Hall, the man' left the building before he could be questioned. NATURAL OIL Fort Erie (CP)--As he turned on his kitchen faucets for the first time yesterday, Louis Den- tenbeck lighted a ocigaret. A 10-foot jet of flame sprang from the taps. He turned them off--and the flame stopped. Dentenbeck had ted his taps with his new artesian well and he believes that a pocket of natural gas had been tapped by the digging. NUMEROUS PROBLEMS Toronto (CP)--Industrial society creates numerous problems which must be settled on the spiritual as well as on the technical level, Rt. Rev. Leslie Hunter, Lord Bis- hop of Sheffield, England, said Wednesday night. Speaking under the auspices of the Diocesan Coun- cil for Social Service, Bishop Hun- ter said that the job of the church was to bring to those in power the insight necessary to appreciate this point. SURGEON DIES Toronto (CP)--Dr. Charles B. Shuttleworth, 81, surgeon who practised here 50 years, died yesterday. For many years ne served on the surgical staff of the Toronto General Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren and was an associate pro- fessor in surgery and anatomy at the University of Toronto. Mrs. John MacRobie of Pet- rolia, Ont, is a sister, DIES AT 76 Kitchener (CP) -- Valentine W. Wettlaufer, 76, retired manufac- turer of oil burners, died last night.

Barbara Ann Docking, 5, jumped from a moving tractor, fell under its wheel and suffered a broken hip. In addition, William Taylor, 3, of Stratford, was ad- mitted to hospital with a skull jracture after being hit by a ck. DOES NOT LIKE STUDENT JOBS IN VACATION Wellington, N.Z, (CP) -- New Zealand's education minister R.M. Algie has declared strong op- position to high school pupils work- ing during holidays. "I was not pleased to read that large numbers of pupils were go- ing to seek employment in the next vacation," he said. "I should issue a word of warn- ing. The vacations, of which ther are two in each year, are given partly for rest and refreshment and partly to enable scholars to re- view for coming examinations the school work they are doing." Mr, Algie said both these objec- tives were defeated if the pupils go out to active employment. "Such work is unsettling in its effects. 1 agre¢ the position may Ibe different the summer holidays but I hi parents will take all the factors into considera- tion and that they will give due weight to the educational interests of their children. These should be paramount at this stage of their careers." The holiday system here is dif- ferent from Canada, since the seasons are reversed, with summer starting here at the time winter starts in North America. New Zea- land schools have a vaoation of two or three weeks in the fall, a simi- lar one in the spring, and the 'long vacation" of six to eight weeks in summer. With the current labor shortage it has been easy for. children to get temporary work at high rates of pay during their vacations. More than 50,000 children attend full-time secondary schools and half as many more get part-time technical education. authorities disagree with the edu- cation minister's view. ey say that light work in the cities, or open-air work on farms, is a good change from school work and that pupils return from such jobs just as fit to resume studies as those ation. I This section maintains there is | no reason why pupils should not get valuable experience of the 'working world and at the same | time earn some pocket money when 'the opportunity offers.

King to Visit Physicians For Check-Up London (Reuters) -- The King, now on vacation in Scotland, will pay visit to London Saturday to give his doctors an opportunity of making a thorough examination, it was announced from Buckingham Palace Wednesday«--~" cation is proceeding normally and he is expected to attend the annual highland games at Braemar to- morrow.
