City Council Awards Contract 'For Bond THE DAMEY 'TIMES-GAZETT * ® / Carriers Greet Trip Announcement With Great Enthusiasm > Unbounded enthusiasm greeted the announcement that The Times- Gazette is planning another won- derful free three-days' outing for its carrier boys and girls. The an- nouncement that a return visit is to be made to Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, which was the goal of the trip made in 1948, has been a great inspiration to every one of the carrier boys and girls to work with all their might to be winners of this free trip. Details of the con- test were eagerly read by the car- riers, and many of them started out at once to reach the objective of fifteen new subscribers for the per which they deliver daily to the homes of Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Port Perry and other district com- munities. - NO LIMIT TO PARTY As was stated in yesterday's is- sue of The Times-Gazette, this trip is absolutely free to every boy and girl who qualifies. There are no strings attached, because every boy or girl who reaches the objective of fifteen new start orders will be in- cluded in the party, and there is no limit to the number that can be taken to Ottawa. And in addition to the trip and all its essentials be- ing absolutely free, the carriers have the opportunity of earning substantial amounts of pocket | money, as & cash allowance will be 'made for every new subscriber over and above the number of fif- teen required to qualify. The contest is now in full swing, end already some of the carriers have turned in their first start or- ders towards the required number. The contest will last until 6 p.m. on October 2, and it is expected that by then the great majority of the staff of carrier boys and girls will have qualified to make the trip. GREAT INCENTIVE In the last three years, similar boys' and girls' parties have gone on three-day trips to Ottawa, Mont- real and to Niagara Falls and Buf- falo. These have been oustandingly successful, with from 60 to 75 mak- ing up the party. With the ex- perience of these trips behind them, the carriers of The Times-Ganztte have a great incentive to work to secure the new start orders required to qualify for the 1951 trip to Ot- tawa. The carriers will appreciate any assistance which can be given them by the readers of this newspaper, and citizens are asked to assist their carriers by giving them tips as to possible new subscribers who can be secured to make up their quota of fifteen. Wrap Parcels For Troops Carefully A report Has been received to the effect that parcels addressed = to members of the Canadian armed | fr forces in Korea are being received in that country in damaged condi- tion due to the fact that flimsy packing and wrapping material is being used on the parcels. A great number of parcels of all shapes and sizes are being mailed to troops overseas and senders should bear in mind that consider- able handling is necessarilly in- volved in connection with the sort- ing, bagging and shipping of the parcels. Therefore, it is essential that if the parcels are to be deliv- ered in good condition, care must be taken to see that they are care- fully and securely packed to en- able them to withstand handling in the mails, The following form of packing is recommended: Strong double cardboard boxes, preferably those made of corrugat- ed cardboard, and having lids which completely enclose the sides of the box. Several layers of heavy wrapping paper and strong twine should al- 80 be used in wrapping the parcels. Foodstuffs, such as cakes, bis- cuits, fruit, etc. which are liable to deteriorate should not be sent unless enclosed in air-tight re- ceptacles. Further, honey, jams and similar semi-liquids must be packed in tins with lids and joints well soldered down, and anything likely to become soft or sticky, such as chocolate or sweets, must be packed in tins with well-fitted lids, Rotarians Hold Lunch At Golf Club Members of the Oshawa Rotary Club held their luncheon meeting at the Oshawa Golf Club yesterday, when a large number enjoyed the excellent meal provided. Follow= ing the luncheon, which was con- ducted on an informal basis by President Everett Lovell, about a dozen of the Rotarians availed themselves of the opportunity of playing a few holes of golf. Among the visitors at the meet- ing were Ross Strike of Bowman- ville, E. Dandy of Brantford, Col. McNamara of New Orleans, Gordon Wanless of Toronto and Rev. P. Coffey of Oshawa. During the evening 17 of the members who celebrate their birth. day in September were presented with roses. Classified ads are sure to pay Phone The Times with yours today. Coming Events MADAM NEVADA, PALMIST, Looking At Britai By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Article No. 25 - Glasgow, Scotland, August 30 (By airmail) -- At least we have had bone whole day of glorious summer sunshine, with not a drop of rain. That is really something, For over a week we have had either sunny forenoons and rainy afternoons, or vice-versa. But today there has been a blue sky and warm sunshine, and aaginst that 'blue background, we saw Britain's giant air liner, the Brabazon, with accommodation for 200 passengers, winging across the sky above the Glasgow roof-tops. It was an impressive' sight. The huge plane flew over at a low level, and we had an opportunity of as- sessing its magnitude in comparison with even the BOAC stratocruiser which fly the North Atlantic route. The Brabazon, like the Canadian on jet transport plane produced at Malton, has not yet been put into passenger service. giving a splendid ™M. M, HOOD account of itself in test and demonstration flights, of which we saw one today. Glasgow is @ great change from Edinburgh. In the Scottish capital, the atmosphere is that of culture, education, romance and beauty. Here there is an atmosphere of humming industry and thriving business, of utility rather than beauty, and as we walked its streets and rode on its street cars and buses we sensed that industrial urge which has made it a city of a mil- lion people. CONTRIBUTING TO DRIVE Here on the River Clyde, are the great shipyards which have pro- duced great vessels like the Queen Elizabeth, huge warships, and the host of other smaller ships which have, in years past, made Britain the world's leading sea power. Here, too, are iron and steel works, con- tributing to Britain's drive for ex- ports. The clear, pure atmosphere and brightly clean streets of Edin- burgh are vastly different from the smoky, blackened and busy streets of Glasgow. But each makes 1ts con- tribution to the national whole, and in the sense of material prosperity. Glasgow is the hub of Scotland. We came here by non-stop. train om Edinburgh in exactly one hour. At the station we were met by an old friend, Mrs. Charles Hall, who 'two years ago spent some time with us at our Oshawa home. Most of our time in this city has been spent in her home, and with her family-- just a typical working class group of people who face the day-to-day dif- ficulties of life in this country. And today we have been doing the shops -- as they are called here -- joining with a great mass of people throughout the streets, and sensing the fact that we were seeing many more Canadians over here on a visit to the old land. It has been inter- esting to compare quality and prices of goods here with those at home, to find that for articles of com- parable quality, there can be no savings made by purchasing over here, even at the deflated value of the pound sterling. MORE FOOD IN SCOTLAND We have found, however, that food conditions are better in Eng- land than in Scotland. It is hard to figure out why this should be, It has been suggested that the frugal Scots have learned how to make better use of the allowances they receive than the English housewives, but we hesitate to accept that. Our experience of eating in restaurants, hotels and cafes, however, has been that the meals offered in Scotland are far ahead of those on the Bri- tish menus. We have, however, little cause to complain of the food situ- ation, The waist-line we have been zealously reducing for some months past has increased alarmingly since we left Canada on August 1. We would feel ashamed to admit how many pounds we have gained in weight since then, but the number has been substantial, as our Osha- wa friends will probably note when we return next week. One 'contribution to this, we feel, is the large amount of sweet cakes and good things of that nature that are available in abundance. 'The sugar ration to the individual is small, but the intake of sugar in iced cakes and iced biscuits, which are not rationed, must be tremen- dous. But we like them, so must be prepared to pay the penalty in add- ed weight. From the newspapers, and from conversations, we have learned that the people of Britain expect a coud and uncomfortable winter this year. This is due to two things, the ever- increasing shortage of coal, and the lack of sufficient electricity to sup- ply the demands of industry and of of the 'coal industry has certainly not improved the fuel situation. To- day we read a statement by the chairman of the National Coal Board. This is what he said: ANXIOUS ABOUT FUTURE "We are full of anxiety as to the immediate future. People who shiver this=winter-will-not-be-warmed-by the better prospects of the years hence. Industry which may be in BRITAIN will be at 28 Warren Ave., Tuesday $e Friday, hours 10-9.

Nationalization' OSHAWA" ° WHITBY VOL. 10--No. 212 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1951 PAGE THREE Places Times-Gazette Carriers Will Visit Above is Canada's National War Memorial, in the heart of Ottawa, with the Chateau Laurier in the back- ground. These will be among the places which will be seen by The Times-Gazette Carriers' party when it visits Ottawa on, October 8, 9 and 10, as a result of the salesmanship contest now under way. The Royal Mint, where Canada's coins are made, is one of the most interesting buildings in Ottawa. A visit to it is included in the program which has been arranged for The Times-Gazette carrier boys and girls who are fortunate enough to win a three days' outing to Canada's capital city at Thanksgiving time, Special Council Meeting To Consider PUC By-Law Regarding Rates for Work Faced with an important by-law that had only been drafted a few hours before, members of Oshawa City Council last night rebelled at being the whipping-horse for de- lays in public matters. The Public Utilities Commission submitted a draft of important and highly technical variations in construc- tion rates for water mains for inclusion in the by-law. The variations were made just before the Council met and by the time they came up for considera- tion it was 11 pm. Ald. Harry Benson launched a strong attack on such tactics. He was anxious to Ahe people who had new houses Ss into them as soon as possible --at present they could not be- cause the water was not laid on-- but he also wanted the Council to give proper consideration to the important matter. "All too often the Council is placed in the position where a thing drags and drags for ages and then up it springs from some other body which gives us 24 hours in which to make our decision. We make that decision and often regret it. It is not fair to us and we should not tolerate it. "Certainly the urgency in this matter could have been recognized before the past few days. I say we don't want to be pressured'into a postition were it looks as if we are holding things up", declared Mr. Benson. City Solicitor John Hare was in- structed to confer with PUC heads with respect to the variations and to report at a special meeting of the council called to discuss the matter at 4 p.m. on Friday. Members were confused about the whole set-up last night and it was not surprising. The PUC which formerly kept up construction charges in perpetuity has now agreed to bring them down to a limit of 20 years but, according to Mr. Hare, that is still arbitary and incorrect. In Mr. Hare's opin- ion the Council actually had noth- ing whatever to do with the lay- ing of water mains as dealt with in the" proposed by-law, and he strongly opposed the idea of civic employees doing the PUC's work.

W. Rundle of Oshawa, gave a talk on "Rock Gardens" explaining how to establish a rock garden by first deciding on a suitable location, the right kind of material and heavy Humus soil. He gave a long list of plants that would enable the garden to give almost continuous color throughout the growing sea- son, introducing the names of some very new plants and shrubs. A new idea that is gaining popularity is the rock wall planted in the usual way with a recess on top for a flow- er bed. This kind of rock garden is very easy to culture and does not require the attention of the usual rock garden. The President, A. Whitmee, re- minded the members of the forth- coming District meeting on October 17, when the Oshawa society will be host, Many helping hands will be needed for this event. The members are looking forward to the next meeting on October 9, when Mrs, Hooper and Miss Dove will present a lesson on arrange- ments, This has always been a popular feature and a good turnout is expected. The regular executive meeting will be held this Thursday evening at the home of Mr, and Mrs, A. Whitmee.

'Work in Vac' Now Routine In Britain By KEN BOTWRIGHT London (Reuters) -- More Bri- tish students than ever before are working their way through college. During this summer vacation, thousands have been forced to take jobs as railway porters, barmen, hotel-kitchen hands and factory workers to earn tuition fees and pocket money, That includes many from well-to- do families who before the last war would have spent their three month holiday period in country mansions or travelling abroad. Heavy government taxation and increased living costs have hit parents so hard that only the most prosperous now can afford to pay their offsprings' way through col- lege. : Even at Oxford and Cambridge-- where for. centuries the aristocracy of Britain has sent its sons-- more undergraduates are relying on government grants and scholar- ships to continue their studies. ' Educational authorities estimate that this past summer at least 7600-students took vacation jobs. in industry and on farms. Today the atmosphere in British university towns is far more seri- ous than in the 30s when students Scout Work Is Explained To Jaycees Scouting across the world was he topic illuminated for the Junio! Chamber of Commerce at their sup- per meeting in the Genosha Hotel last night by Stan Richardson, Executive Commissioner of the Boy Scout Association of Oshawa. There are 17 separate groups in this city alone, he said, with 1200 boys par- ticipating, comprising a good 50 per cent of the school-age lads. They are a part of the 10,000 scouts in the national movement, which figures in the 2,000,000 scout regis- tration throughout the British Com- monwealth, The commissioner explained how scouting is divided into three groups, according to age: the Cubs, from 8-12; the Scouts from 12-17, and the Rovers from 17-23, A Court of Honor, composed of the scouts themselves, decides on the admission of new members, who are eligible regardless of race, creed, or social status, Their chief duty is loyalty to God and the king, with obedience to the ten scout laws, performance of a good deed every day, and ad- herence to the scout motto, "Be Prepared." Scouting's emphasis on the de- velopment of powers of obsérvation, resourcefulness and co-operation was cited by the speaker as a rea- son for Junior Chamber of Com- merce to sponsor and encourage such youth movements of today. It was, he urged, one of the positive forces for democracy so needed by the youth of this generation. In con- clusion, Mr, Richardson quoted the admonition of the prophet Micah, to "do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God." With president Don Lander in the chair, the fifty Jaycees, including quite a number of new members, heard reports of the summer's acti- vities and a stirring preview of fall and winter activities. Don Brown described a new sales promotion course, to begin on Mon- day, October 8, and run through fourteen nights of the season, with a different speaker each night, films and class demonstrations. Doug Wilson publicized the membership drive, and Jim Hare gave some re- vealing figures on the Jaycee's op- eration of its Tourist Information Bureau through the summer months. He reported that 1,404 cars had stopped at the booth, with ser- vices to over 2,500 individuals from 37 of the 48 American states and all the Canadian provinces. Don Campbell reported the organization's finances in good shape, and a pub- licity convenor was elected in the person of Don Allman, A pleasant feature of the evening was the piano stylings of Rod Coulter. The membership was invited to a conference sponsored by the Mid- land Junior Chamber of Commerce, to be held at Honey Harbor Septem- ber 22 and 23. At least a dozen members signified their intention of going. Committee To Delve Into Subsidies One after the other seven pro- vincial auditors scan the accounts of Oshawa City Council that deal with subsidies. Their wages have to be paid and the time of local workers is taken up by the repeti- tion. That is one of the things that a newly-appointed City Council spe- cial committee is likely to incor- porate into a brief to be forwarded to the recently formed Ontario Municipal Committee, At its last night's meeting the Council re- ceived a letter from the Committee which comprises four municipal association representatives, four government representatives and an independent chairman, asking for briefs. "It is definitely important to look into this", said Ald. William Noble. "It is far more Significant than it appears on the surface." The whole tax set-up had changed in recent years. Ten years ago about 40 per cent of tax revenue went to the municipalities. Now they get about 13 per cent, Admittedly, the pro- vincial government coughed up more subsidies but at the same time they put in their own people to direct how those subsidies were spent. He thought the Council should set up a committee to go into the preparation of a brief to bring back to the Council. The Council decided to set up an investigating committee consisting of Mayor Michael Starr, the Fin- ance Committee and City Solicitor John Hare. Mr. Hare gave some indication of the matters to be contained in the brief when he spoke of the seven auditors, STAMP COLLECTION Southampton, England (Reuters) -- The stamp collection of the Bri- tish Post Office left for Canada Thursday in the strong room of the liner Samaria.

Council May Reduce Costs With Digger Last year the city of Oshawa lost $1,604.23 on its transactions in the charges for sgwer and water main connections. The average loss was about $5 per installation. That was reported at last night's meet- ing of the City Council when the City Engineer was instructed to report on the advisability of obtain- ing a trench digger as soon as possible. Engineer W. T. Dempsey told the Council last night that prices of the mechanical digger ranged from $8,000 to $25,000. Investigations on the diggers had been carried out for the past five or six months and it was thought that some- thing could be obtained that would be suitable. It would be far less expensive than digging out the trenches by hand. Members made comparisons be- tween the charges made by the Council for the digging of trenches and the charge made by the Public Utilities Commission--the = com- parisons being odious to the PUC. Ald. Harry Benson ilkened the situation of the Board of Works digging out the excavations and the PUC using them and still charging householders as being on a par with the bird that laid its eggs in other birds' nests. "Obviously we are not charging the householders the right cost or we would not be losing money on this", pointed out Ald. Benson to members who had 'urged that the present charge was the right one. The Engineer said the charge it would if a trencher was used. TOBACCO TYCOON DIES Winston -Salem, N.C.

His attitude, according to City Solicitor John Hare, was "I'll build you the best bridge possible but whyfworry about this paper work." Mr. Hare's description of the ne- gotiations was the humorous high- light of last night's work-fest for the Council. "Bluff and hearty, Mr. Blythe Just brushed aside 'details like a contract with finishing date and maintenance and compensation bond", reported a rather incredu- lous Mr. Hare. "When asked when he could 'start Mr. Blythe said 'Next Wednesday'. We still don't know if he was just kidding, Steel is the reason he can't give a com- pletion date but he said he could always steal some steel rods from his other jobs. "When we said that was why we wanted a compensation bond, Mr. Blythe just laughed and said 'OK. then I won't do any steel stealing", Mayor Michael Starr, also ime pressed by the man who builds bridges all over the country, point- ed out that Blythe Construcion 'Company's tender was $9,000 lower than any other.

Herbert Robinson said the Bond Street effort was bot a large bridge for Mr. Blythe--an expert at the game--but it was large for Oshawa, If the Council did not ac- cept his offer it would be another year before they could get anybody else. The other tender, according to the City Engineer, was out of the question, : "Well, I'm just letting you know in case the bridge isn't finished this time next year. Then there will be nothing you can do about it", warned Mr. Hare. Lana Turner Ends Fourth Marriage Try Hollywood (AP) -- Lana Turner is calling it quits after three years of marriage with millionaire Sportsman Henry J. (Bob) Topp- ng.
