lp ---------- EL sr ed RAT Mastery Of Human Relations Seen N eeded For Survival Local Family Excited When Reporter Tells Of Husband's Return A press notice that an Oshawa soldier had landed in Canada from Korea put a city home in a tur- moll this , For Betty Moores, 226 Eulalie Avenue, it was CPL. LOUIS E. MOORES the first indication that her sol- dier husband, Corporal Louis E. Moores, was coming home after 10 months' hard fighting in the Far Fast. Their little son, Gary, who was only a week old when the cor- poral went overseas, is now walk- ing about. "This news 1s so marvellous that I just can't believe it," said Mrs. Moores this morning. A reporter from The Times-Gazette called on her to show her a Canadian Press yeport that Cpl. Moores landed last night at Vancouver. His return was completely un- expected and his family had not re- ceived a cable or telephone call from him." Twenty-five members of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry arrived at Van- couver last night by plane from Tokyo. They were all Korean war veterans and are coming home for paratroop training at Rivers, Mani- toba. - They will get 30 days' leave first and Mrs. Moores had to sit down and take things quietly to get over the joyful news. A mew dress and & case of beer will be bought imme- diately to celebrate the family re- union. Gifts the soldier has sent home from Korea ornament the Moore's home, Chief item was a tableaux of the seven Oriental gods of good fuck--"and they brought us good fortune," chortled the housewife this morning, She didn't care if her husband was training as a utist so long as he came to Canada. . Twenty-three years old, Corporal Louis Moores went overseas at the end -of last year, not long after he volunteered for service. In Oshawa he worked first for the Ontario Malleable Iron and was then a driver on a dairy route, He is a native of Marksday, in Ontario, but his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Moores, now live on Varcoe's Road in Oshawa. Biggest change in his home life for the soldier will be his little son, Gary, now a strapping youngster who, despite his 11 months, seemed to catch on to the morning's ex- citement.

Collections Of Customs Are Lower The onset of the winter season 'with the consequent reduction in al traffic was reflected in Bern's Custom figures for the month of September. The figure for the month was $3,897,720.02 which was a sharp reduction on preceding figures. However, the healthy state of Oshawa's economic life is revealed when the figure is compared with that for the same month last year when only $2,448,393 was collected. In September, 1949, the total was only $1,732,364. September usually shows a slight reduction which makes up again in October as far as Customs collections are con- cerned. Figures released by Customs men in the city this morning showed that import duties during Septem- ber brought in $384,021.92 while the remunerative excise taxes raised $3,- 612,728.38. For the third month in a row excise: duty amounted to $334.12 while sundry collections in September were $635.60. This summer has seen every re- cord broken for income in the Cus- toms branch. June's figure was the Lighest ever at $8,632,133. Receipts dropped a little in July to $7,827,828 and a little more in August to $6,- 117,933. : Home Burned At Uxbridge; Friends Help Residents or the Ajax and Ux- bridge districts are rallying behind Leo Merrick, an employee of Gen- eral Motors at Oshawa, who lost his home, three miles east of Ux- bridge, and its contents in a fire on Saturday night. He carried no insuran ce. The fire, which is believed to have had its origin from an over- heated stove, started while Mr. and Mrs, Merrick and their five chil- dren, ranging in age from one to five years, were away from home. Mr, Merrick started building his home during his spare time and gradually built it from a one room shack to a five-room home com- plete with basement. He and his wife took great pride in their home and were overcome with grief to find their work reduced to ashes on their return home. While forced to live with neigh- bors for the time being their friends in Uxbridge and Ajax are stepping into the breach and giv- ing them every possible assistance. Rev Father McCormick of Ux- bridge announced the news of the disaster which befell the family at mass yesterday morning. After the service Father McCormick and a group of his parishioners drove to the Merrick home. On their arrival they found 15 automobiles, crowded with friends and neighbors already on the scene with household goods for the family. It is learned also that the Kins- men Club of Uxbridge is also taking a keen interest in the family and proposes to build them a home, SHOPPING NOTES! THIS HOLIDAY WEEK-END ONLY!

HIGHTOWER Washington (AP) --United States state and defence department of- ficlals shortly--perhaps this week --will begin working out the list of land, sea and air bases which the U.S. will want to retain in Japan. Officials said the job is compli- cated by the fact that so long as the Korean war continues the U.S. will require more facilities than it will need if and when peace is Jestors to that area of the Far ast. The Japanese islands constitute a key position in the U.S. West- ern Pacific island defence system against Asian Communist forces. Immediately after the Japanese peace treaty signed Sept. 8 the U.S. signed with Japan a treaty author- izing American forces to remain in the Japanese islands following the occupation period. The occupation ends when the treaty takes effect, Before that time, however, probably early next year. state department officials feel that an agreement spelling out in detail base arrangements and the whole relationship between the American military and the Japanese gov- ernment must be completed and agreed to by both sides. At least two strong reasons are advanced for this timing. One is that this country is now in a better bargaining position with Japan than it will be after the peace treaty becomes effective; the other is that when the peace and security treaties go to the senate for ap- proval next January senators will want assurance that adequate base provisions have been made. While the U.S. is under no com- pulsion to cut down its forces in Japan, the expectation of officials is that without the Korean war the facilities now required there could be somewhat reduced. One informant said: "We don't want to ask for rights indefinitely which we really need only for the period during which we are running the Korean war from Tokyo." Speculation is that at a minimum all three American armed services will want to retain indefinitely the main bases which they are using during the- occupation. Want to buy, sell or trade?

D, THOMAS, MLA. Last week's special session of the Legislature approved necessary leg- isidtion so pensions can be paid to those between 65 and 69 years of age on January first. This is in accordance with the agreement be- tween the federal and provincial governments. Pensions will now be paid to all over 70 years without a means test, and pensions to those between 65 and 60 years with a means test. The full cost of pensions over 70 years will be assumed .by the fed- eral government and will be ad- ministered from Ottawa. The cost of pensions between 65 and 69 years will be paid by the provincial and federal governments on a 50-50 basis, being administered from Queen's Park. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT The minister of public welfare in- troduced the bill, also one respect- ing pensions for blind persons. I am sure all our people welcome the legislation, for pensions between the age of 65 and 69 years were long overdue. While we in the opposi- tion regard this as real progress, there is still room for improvement. Torty dollars a month for these in need is far too low, when we consider the value of the depreci- ated dollar. When pensions for the aged were first awarded in 1926 the amount was $20.00 per month. On a 50 cent dollar we are still only paying $20.00 a month, Speaking i support of the bill, Agnes MacPhail (CCF) flayed the government for being so niggardly in the amount of the award. It was appropriate that Miss MacPhail should be the first member of the OCF to speak on the bill, for it was this same lady who supported the payment of pensions in 1926, when she was a member of parliament. Union and CCF groups in the provincial and federal houses have consistently fought in past years for pensions for the aged and will con- tinue to insist on still further im- provements for the aged citizens of our province. At the present time there are 93,000 persons over 70 years in receipt of part or full pen- sions in Ontario. Under the condi- tions of the allowable income, none are allowed more than $600.00 per year, including the pension. These pensioners all received the pension on a means test basis, and although the allowable income has been increased to $720.00 per year their position is almost the same as previously. I am sure they all welcome the extension of. pension awards but with the tremendous increase in the cost of living their position is becoming most serious. We of the opposition asked the government to consider the award of a supplementary pension to aug- ment the federal pension, but the Frost government said "NO", In the previous pension act there was a clause which stated the pro- vincial government could, if it saW fit, award a cost of living bonus or supplementary pension. This has been omitted from the new act. I brought this to the attention of the government, and pressed the argu- ment a little farther by moving an amendment to section 12, so that the government could pay a supple- mentary pension, or cost of living bonus. AMENDMENT REJECTED This amendment was rejected by the chairman, because the rules of the house are, that no opposition member is allowed to move the ex- pendifure of public money. It would have been quite an easy matter for the government to have got one of their own members to have moved this amendment. I am sure the opposition would have given it un- animous support. Supplementary pensions of $10.00 a month are paid in British Co- lumbia and in Alberta and $2.50 a month in Saskatchewan, but in the case of British Columbia and Sas- katchewan, complet. hospitalization, medical attention, dental care and optical treatment are given to all pensioners, In Alberta the same limited scale of medical service is given as in Ontario. The Ontario government's attitude is very diffi- ¢ 1t to understand, for according to present estimates it will cost the province approximately one and a half million dollars less for pensions under the new regulations. According to the minister of wel- fare this amount, with an additional sum, will be spent to extend medical services and dental care, but he was very evasive and could not give us an estimate of the extra amount. Whatever it may be it will only include medical and den- tal care. Those pensioners depend- ent entirely ag the $40.00 a month, if hospitalized will still be a charge on the municipality. The cost of pensioners hospitalized will still be the responsibility of the municipal government. . Premier Frost speaking in the debate said, "I am glad to say due to. the financial stability of our province, where we impose no sales tax, no person income tax and many of tI . taxes which are common else- where in Canada, that to bring about our end of this great reform, these will be no additional taxa- on." As it will cost the province no more than two or three million dol- lars, we agreed with the premier, especially if he is able to show an- other surplus at the end of the fis- cal year of twenty or thirty million dollars. The payment of a supple- mentary bonu: could quite easily be paid without increasing taxation for the smaller people in this province. LET 30 MILLION SLIP Last year the' provincial govern- ment collected seventy-one million dollars in corporation taxes by only taxing seven per cent of profits. According .to the agreement with the federal government, the prov ince can eollect up to 10 per eent. RS 4 So the Conservative Government at Queen's Park let slip through its fingers 30 million dollars in cor- poration taxes. With the greatly increased profits this year it should, be much more. It is estimated it would cost the province seven million to pay a supplementary pension of $10.00 per month. If Ontario had collected the full ten per cent. corporation taxes, it could have paid this addi- tional $10.00 per month, four times over, or in these times of greatly increased municipal taxation, it could assume without difficulty, be- tween 60 to 70 per cent of the total costs of education. We agree with the premier that this is an historic occasion for Ontario, but if the means test is unfair for those 70 years and over, it also is unfair for those between the age of 65 and 69 years. Our next job _is to convince the government that the means test should be abolished for the lower age group and the pensions be fur- ther increased comparable with the great increase in the cost of living. My sincere thanks to The Times- Gazette for giving me space in this issue and if I can help anyone re- garding the new regulations, I am completely at their service. Legion Takes Sunnybrook Probe Offer Toronto (CP) -- Ontario Com- mand of the Canadian Legion Sat- urday decided to take up a Vet- erans Affairs department offer of a complete investigation of condi- tions at Sunnybrook veterans hos- pital. - Maj.-Gen. E. L. M. Burns, depu- ty minister, offered the inquiry after Arthur Padbury, chairman of the Legion's provincial service bu- reau, claimed in a speech at St. Catharines that the treatment at the hospital is of the 'sausage mill type." The charge was promptly denied. The administrative committee said it welcomed Gen. Burns' offer and asked that the investigation start at once.

It was the second train-car crash at the Monaghan Rd. and Romaine St. CPR crossing during the week. Several nights ago, two Peterbor- ough men escaped injury but their auto was wrecked when they crash- ed into the side of a moving freight car, Injured Saturday were Albert Maio, 25, his brother, Alfred Malo, 27, and Ralph Hunter, 29, Immediate Start Held Essential pat Communism tery of "the exact science of human relations" ine dividual to individual, group to group and nation to nation was seen as a condition of Western survival by Kingsley E. Brown, editor of The Rural Co-operator and writer and lec- turer on farm subjects particularly in their relation to the co-operative movement. Mr. Brown was the speaker at a Communion Breakfast held in the basement of Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church on Sunday by the men of the Osh. awa Council of the Knights of Columbus. 'The speaker was introduced to the _ 75-0dd men present by Edward" Clarke, past Grand Knight of the council. In his brief biographical sketch of the speaker he pointed out that he first developed his interest in hgricultural co-operatives during three years spent in German prison camps after being shot down. over Germany in the last war. INHERENT PRINCIPLE It .was .inherent .in .man, .the speaker said, for him to co-operate with his fellows. It was found early in the dawn of history that a num- ber of men grouped together could do things and attain a mastery over enyironment that they never could singly. It was the application of this principle in its best form that had enabled co-operative movements in this and other countries to grow from the most humble beginnings to a multi-million dollar a year business, It was the application of this same principle of co-operation Mr. Brown said which, when applied to national societies enabled them to subversive, Proof of this was evi- denced during the last two wars when the group of nations most cohesively bound together survived in the end. SERIES OF CRISES The word crisis, whether used in a personal or a national sense, was often a misnomer the speaker con- tinued, All life was a series of crises and the growth of nations could be traced by the manner in which they hurdled the successive prob- lems they had to meet. Crisis was a natural and ever-present thing and it was not its presence but the technique used In mastering it which counted. This again was where co-operation came in. Communism, in a sense, aside from the men in the Kremlin and its patently obvious imperialism, was born out of the need of men to belong to a well-ordered and disciplined group and in that way ensure themselves of sustenance, BETTER "GET CRACKING" It was this same Communism, the speaker said, which threatened to engulf the Western world. ¥ was this same Communism which could be effectively fought only in the application of the science of human relations. He said, further, that we had better "get cracking" or it might be too late, Mr. Brown traced the beginning of the co-operative movement in Nova Scotia, He told how, under i 2 Appeal Of Murder Without Body Wellington (Reuters)--New Zea land's famous no - corpse murder case -- which ended with a mur der conviction six weeks ago == reopened today on appeal. George Cecil Horry, 44, opened his appeal against a life sentence ordered Aug. 15 for the nine-year- old murder of his bride. Her body was never found. When sentenced, Horry mum mured: "All I can say is what I stated at the beginning of the case, that is I ammnot guilty. Eileen went to America and to the best of my knowledge she is still there." Horry's grounds of appeal centre on the contention that no body or part of a body had been found. YOUTHS ESCAPE Brampton (CP) -- John Ericson; 17, and William Blakemore, 18, both of Galt, escaped from the On= tario Reformatory here Saturday night and slipped through road blocks set up by provincial police.
