Bell Telephone Conducts Microwave Tests At Uxbridge Grim Life Conditions In the British Isles Outlined By Speaker A graphic picture of the grim conditions of life and the low standard of living in Britain, as compared with that in Canada, was given to the Oshawa Kiwanis Club at it8 luncheon yesterday by the .guest speaker, M. McIntyre Hood, managing Editor of The Times-Gazette. Stating that only a long-term program of recovery, backed by greater production on the part of the workers, would solve the problems of the British people. Mr. Hood asserted that no government, regardless of its po- litical ~composition, could bring abo iraculous recovery over- night: The speaker, by illustration, showed how the heavy burdens of taxation took away from the people so large a part of their income that there was scarcely sufficient left to meet the necessities of life. Things that are looked upon as necessities to the Canadian work- ing man's home, such as tele- phones, motor cars, 'electric re- frigerators and ranges, and other modern equipment, were unattain- able luxuries to British working people. That in itself emphasized the difference between the living standards of the two countries. AUTO SALES LIMITED Mr. Hood touched on the auto- mobile situation in Britain, where dealers are limited to a very few cars each year, and are now mak- ing deliveries of cars which were ordered over three years ago. Cars are sold under a regulation waich prohibits the buyer re-selling- the car within a period of two years. Any individual who has bought a car since 1945 cannot have his name placed on an order list, and even those with pre-war cars are required to have a' certificate that! they are unserviceable before their orders for a new car are accepted. Yet the people there know that in 1950 Britain exported over 78,- 000 cars to Canada. Looking at the political scene, the speaker said the most bitter battle was not between the Con- servatives and the Socialists, but between the right and left wings of the Socialist party. While Aneurin Bevan and Clement Attlee had effected a reconciliation, he said, the people of Britain knew only too well that it was a tempor- ary expedient, as they were well aware of the bitter struggle be- tween the two Socialist groups for supremacy. This, he felt, would drive many floating voters. who had previously supported the So- cialist party to give their backing to the Conservatives. CANADIANS FORTUNATE In closing, Mr. Hood said the greatest impression on returning to Canada was that of how fortun- ate the people of this country were to live in a land of plenty and to have the high living standards they enjoyed. This placed on them, individually and collectively, a re- sponsibility to share their good jortune with the suffering mother- and. The speaker was introduced by Stephen G. Saywell, and thanks of the club were expressed by Douglas Trivett. FINAL HANDSHAKE Fort Wayne, Intd. (AP)--Attend- ants at a funeral home were sur- prised last night when a mourner walked up to the casket and shook hands with the deceased. Later, they told police, they found a $150 ring was missing from a finger of the dead man.

They are Gerald Gray and Lewis Elliot, both 14, and they were evidently setting off on an excursion of sorts, because they had their red bikes, and knap- sacks carrying food and clothing, and even a cardboard box con- taining two of their favorite collie pups. They were last seen Sunday af- ternoon, as they entered an old blue Chevrolet, driven by an eld- erly man, in which they set off, holding their bikes on the running boards. Gerald, who is described as tall for his age, and dark of com- plexion, was wearing blue jeans, a dark blue sweater with white deer design, and a dark wine jacket with black-and-white checks on the body of it. Lewis, more stout- ly built, is also dark complexioned and wore dark jeans and a yellow wool sweater. Anyone having information about either of these boys is asked to communicate either with The Times-Gazette or Mrs. M. Gray, R.R. 3, Oshawa. 'Combine' Bakers Are Penalized Calgary (CP) Six western baking firms yesterday were con- victed of operating a combine for a 17-year period up to 1950 and the three major groups were fined $10,000 each plus heavy court costs. Mr. Justice Boyd McBridge hand- ed down the judgment at criminal assizes of the Alberta Supreme Court to end the longest proceed- ing in Alberta judicial records. He delivered a scathing denunciation of the "dishonest trickery' carried out by the firms. He said they were more intereste in price than in quality, service and salesmanship. The maximum fine of $10,000 he was empowered to impose was "quite inadequate." Penalties imposed: McGavin Bakeries Limited, Win- nipeg, $8000; McGavin Limited, head office, Edmonton, $1000; Mc- Gavin Limited, registered office, Vancouver , $100; Canadian Bakeries Limited of Calgary, $10,000; Weston Bread and Cake (Canada) Limited, Win- nipeg, $9000; Edmonton City Bak- ing Limited, a Weston subsidiary, $1000. McGavin, Canadian Bakeries Limited and Weston were ordered to pay 33 1-3 per cent each of the court expenses, which were ex- pected to form the heaviest part of the total penalty. Harold W. Ri- ley of 'Calgary, crown counsel, said {it would be "terrific." [ Defence. counsel are considering {an appeal. The eompanies were convicted of conspiracy unduly to prevent of lessen competition in the baking in- dustry in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

K. CREIGHTON, K.C. The charm of Scotland is of a sort completely different from that of England. Within Scotland itself it varies greatly from the border to the highlands and from place to place, but it all has a peculiarly Scottish quality. I may offend good Scots in saying so, but it must be said that it has not anywhere the gentle rustic loveliness of the English countryside. Yet I do not mean that there is not rich beauty in the plains and hills of Scotland. Rather the quality of this beauty is quite changed. There is here a touch of ruggedness as in a square-cut stone cottage with low roofs, and then somewhere there is a beauty of wildness as in the tangle of the wooded hillsides about Loch Lom- ond. The farms are well tended and appear prosperous, but they are plain and businesslike in their or- der. The towns are solid and well- kept with an air of careful prosper- ity. The hills are steep and rocky in places with expanses of moor- land and, of course, behind and around it-all is the solemn grand- eur of the highlands with their misty and often gloomy hillsides and valleys, Small wonder that the Scots are serious and studious peo- ple for the very land about them seems to impre:s that character upon them. All garrulous behaviour and levity seem to be discouraged by the native hills and glens. IMMERSED IN ATMOSPHERE We were overtaken gradually by this north British atmosphere and were quite immersed in it - before we had crossed the border at Gret- na Green. While still ten miles or so short of Scotland we drove cn a dull rainy afternoon into Car- lisle, a prosperous industrial town. Many of its buildings including the cathedral and old castle are built of a red stone characteristic of the locality. The castle is a group of rather stern and solid buildings surrounded by a wall and approach- Test Tower ed over a bridge crossing what was | '# once a moat leading to an arched gateway. The building is in part oc- cupied by a military unit but the ancient royal quarters, for it was once a royal palace, are still main- tained, although their barren. and rugged interior, with dark passages and staircases, would not commend them for such use today. Mary Queen of Scots was imprison- ed and escaped only to suffer a worse fate. The city was once for- tified by a wall but little of it is to be seen today. The cathedral is only | a handsome remnant of a once much greater structure. Cromwell who was no respector of architec- ture, especially in cathedrals, has been blamed for much of the same sort of destruction elsewhere and is said to have been, indirectly at least, responsible for this damage at Carlisle, for on his approach to the city the royalist citizens tore down enough of the cathedral to repair the city walls, The cierk with whom I fell into conversation Here | A temporary tower such as this has been erected near Uxbridge 'to lest | a prospective location for a radio- relay station in the Bell Telephone's new Buffalo-Toronto-Montreal mi- crowave system.

Cups will be presented for the best shot in the unit, best shot sergeants and best shot officers. There will be a regimental dance Friday, November 2, 1951. The dance committee is already work- ing on plans for this. It should be a great success and a large turn out is expected. Members of the Oshawa Chap- ter, Ontario Regiment Association, left Oshawa Armoury by special bus on Friday evening .to attend the regular meeting of the parent chapter in Toronto. Proceedings there were conducted by Ted Field- ing, at the close of which refresh- ments were served. Former members of the Ontario Regiment who will be attending the reunion to be held in Oshawa Armoury on November 17 and 18 will not find a big din- ner with guest speakers, etc., but there will be good food and plenty, buffet-style, and the speakers will be themselves renewing acquaint- ances.

Many of the farm hoses of the district, he said, were built out of stone from the old Roman wall quarried in the second century. Some distance across the farm lands and moors of the lowlands lies on the sea coast the brisk and prosperous town of Ayr. Active as an industrial and commercial cen- tre, its shops and banks show signs of a busy trade. Only a few miles away is the plain little village of Alloway where stands at the very edge of the road the little white cottage in which Scotland's most" lovable and beloved son was born.

To Blame Using simple mathematics, Judge F. J. MacRae yesterday destroyed involved legal arguments in Gen- eral Sessions Court in Whitby. Dealing with an auto damage ac- tion the judge pointed out that after the two vehicles became visible to one another, one of them travelled 150 feet and the other only: 50 feet before the resultant accident happened. "I would just like to check that simple matter of physics With counsel," said Judge MacRae. "Which was obviously travelling the faster? I have worked it out in the ratio of three to one which answers the speeding question: in this case." BASIS OF ACTION , Curran and Briggs Limited, of Pickering, were plaintiffs in an ac- tion brought against George and Harold Davidson, also of Pickering, arising out of damage caused in a collision at Pickering on August 10, 1950. The accident was between a | truck owned by the construction tompany and a taxi owned by George Davidson and driven by Harold Davidson. Plaintiffs were represented by R. W. Macaulay and counsel for the defendants was G. R. R. Frame. The hearing was first of the non- | jury cases to come up in the three- week-old General Sessions. Evi- dence was given by Fred Clark, who was driving the plaintiff's truck, Neil McBride, clerk of the quarry company, and Harold Davidson. | Summing up the judge said the |two vehicles involved were travel- | ling in opposite directions along a | gravelled road, only 10 feet wide | leading to the company's office | south of No. 7 Highway. The re- | spective drivers apparently saw | each other when 200 feet apart and | Clark, who was travelling at 25 to 30 m.p.h. tried to pull into the side. He managed to get the front wheels of the truck off the road but the rear of the truck was struck by the | taxi. NEARING BROW OF HILL "Both these drivers were ap- proaching the brow of a hill and | for such hazards it is necessary | that they should have beth exer- cised more than reasonable care," observed he judge. Defendant was occupying too much of the road and was travelling at an excessive speed. However, plaintiff's speed was also excessive for a driver who knew the road. "Therefore I find the defendant was 90 per cent negligent and plaintiff 10 per cent negligent," an- nounced the judge. He and the two counsels worked out the per- centages of the damages claimed, and counter-claimed. It worked out | that. the Davidson's will have to | pay $340 to Curran and Briggs, who | | will, in turn, pay the Davidson's | $45. | the same percentage. j Pays Four Dollars 'But Wins Argument mn.

To Handle Pensions For 65-70 Group | | The Oshawa Welfare Department office is now taking applications for old age pensions for residents of Oshawa between the ages of 65 and 70. These individuals are elig- ible for old age pension provided they can establish their need for them under the terms of the new legislation passed by the federal parliament and the Ontario legis- lature. They are required to make their application to the welfare depart- mnt, of which Miss Marion Bannon is the administrator, and can ob- tain application forms at her of- fice only. Forms for applicants be- tween the ages of 65 and 70 can not be secured from the post office. The only forms available there are those for old age pension applicants over the age of 70. These pensions beco.ie effective | as of January 1, 1951, and individu- | als entitled to them are urged to | make early application, so as to {avoid a last-minute rush which | might delay start of the pension.

It will also des liver television programs to broads casting stations being built by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto and Montreal. The site where the temporary tower was-erected is about five mileg south of Uxbridge, off the road bee tween Concessions 6 and 7 in Ux- bridge Township, a Bell Telephone spokesman said. TO TEST TRANSMISSION A similar tower has been erected about 25 miles east of Uxbridge, near Bethany, and the transmission path between these two prospective sites will be tested. Another tower also is being erected on top of the 14-storey Elgin Building in downe town Toronto to test the Uxbridge Toronto leg of the proposed route. The tests are conducted by beam- ing microwave signals between the towers. Each tower has a special saucer-like antenna that can be raised and lowered so that transmis sion can be tested at various heights, The installations dt Uxbridge and Bethany are entirely portable. The transmitting equipment is housed in trucks. The towers, which are made up of eight-foot sections and can be erected or dismantled in a few hours, also are transported im trucks from site to site along the proposed radio-relay route. Permanent steel towers will be erected later at Uxbridge and the' other sites if the tests prove satis< factory. PLAN 12 STATIONS In all, about 12 permanent relay stations will be required for the Toe ronto-Montreal section of the nei- work, in addition to terminal sta" tions in the two cities. The relay stations - will be located anywhere from about 15 to 35 miles apart, de= pending on the transmission probe lems to be overcome. The telephone conversations or television programs will be flashed over the network by microwave transmission. These super-high-fre- quency radio waves will be focussed * into a narrow beam by special ane , tennae and relayed instantaneously from station to station. High-gain amplifiers at each station will give . the signals a million-fold boost im. power before they take off for the next relay point. DUAL ANTENNAE Each permanent relay station will have two receiving and two transe mitting antennae, mounted on a - steel tower. The towers will range in height from about 50 to 225 fee, - depending on what obstructions are to be cleared to obtain a line-ofe sight path to the next station. To relay network television pros grams from Buffalo, the Buffaloe Toronto section of the network is scheduled to be in operation by the time that television broadcasting is innaugurated in Toronto next year. The Toronto-Montreal section is planned for completion in 1953. . FRIDAY, OCT. 12th $4.00 PER COUPLE SECOND ANNUAL ¢ BIRTHDAY BALL GOLDEN JUBILEE CHAPTER ILO. DE , 198%...
