h | Opposition Flays ' Government For Stalling Tactics Ottawa (CP) -- Justice Minister Garson told the Com- mons yesterday that many independent retail merchants 'across Canada fear they might be put out of business by 'legislation prohibiting manufacturers to fix the retail prices of their products. That, he sdid, was one of, the reasons why the government had decided to establish a Senate-Commons committee to study a proposal that retail price-fixing by i ye | i manufacturers be abolished. Mr. Garson spoke before adopt of a resolution providing for the appointment of 26 members from the Commons and 12 from the Senate to the joint committee. Some CCF members, indicating their op- position, called "on division" when the resolution passed, but did not ask for a formal vote. A similar resolution now must be dopted in the Senate. Replying to opposition charges that the government has backed down from its original position, Mr. Garson said the government had decided to form a committee long before the Canadian Chamber of Commerce announced opposition to price-fixing legislation. i Reviewing events that led to the government's decision, he said that a year ago a commission was es- tablished to consider amendments to the Combines Investigation Act. That commission, headed by Mr. Justice J. H. MacQuarrie of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, Bed recommended the abolition of resale price maintenar : by manu- facturers. The government had accepted that recommendation and in the speech from the throne at the op- ening of the fall session October 9, had announced that it would in- troduce anti-price-fixing legislation. Once that announcement was made, the government received pro- tests from various organizations and ind dent retail merchants across the country. The government felt that the legislation would be more effective if the views of all inter- ested parties first were heard. At the House opening, Defence Minister Claxton said there is "not a word of truth" in charges that French-Canadian troops in Korea singled out for exposed duty. e charges were made Monday by P. E. Gagnon (Ind.--Chicoutimi). Prime Minister St. Laurent an- nounced that the government has decided to set up a House commit- tee to study defence expenditures. In the main debate, Mr. Drew said the government's proposal to form a new committee indicates it is little interested 'in meeting de- mands of the people for immediate action to fight inflation and stem rising prices.

LEWIS Correspondent Claremont--The 130th Anniver- sary Services of the Claremont Baptist Church were observed dur- ing the last week-end, Starting on Saturday evening with a service at 8 p.m. which was fairly well attend- ed, and carried through Sunday with morning and evening services, the services were in charge of the McMaster Evangelistic Band, a quartette of young men of various nationalities who go wherever they are invited to preach and sing the |. gospel. The Saturday evening service was fairly well attended, but the church was filled to capacity for both morning and evening services on Sunday. The speaker for the even- ing service was a Canadian-born Japanese who took for his text the apostle Paul's appearance before King Agrippa. At a party held on Hallowe'en night in the Claremont Community Hgll and sponsored by the Recrea- tion Committee of the Claremont Business and Community Associa- tion, prizes were given for the best costumes as follows: Children 9 years and under--Ray Ward, Wayne Norton, Betty Evans. Children over 9 years -- Wilfred Glidden, Gary Cooper, Bobby Red- shaw. In the adults class first prize was captured by Rev. George Davison, dressed as a scarecrow. Second prize was won by Miss Cox, a local teach- er-at the school, dressed as a Witch and 3rd went to Mrs. Ken. Ward who was dressed as an accident case. Another feature of the evening was the presentation of certificates to those who were successful in passing the swimming tests during 1950 and 1951. These were as fol- lows: Junior certificates, Joan Red- shaw, Wayne Redshaw, Donna Red- shaw, Geraldine Virgin, Ronnie Wil- liamson, Keith Norton, Willard Peddie, Rae Anderson, Ronnie Redges, gary Cooper, Jack McDon- ald, Lillian Austin, Stan.

Then the last item on the programme was the giving of a bag of candy to the children. Altogether it was a very good pro= gramme and the Recreation Com- mittee are to be congratulated on the efforts which they put forth. It was very gratifying to see so many adults turn out for the occasion, Policy THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT OSHAWA WHITBY OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1951 PAGE THIRTEEN VOL. 10--No. 260 em ----------.

Kankewitt waved his arm expan- sively over this prosperous town. "We're not a boom. town like Edmonton," he said. "I hope we never will be." But Edson, 1951 in population by this year's census estimate; may well turn out to be just that. Half way between Edmonton and Jasper, Alta., this steadily-growing town is the only sizable settlement between those better known places. It has added almost half to its population in 10 years -- a growth inspired by no single factor. Now industrial expansion seems likel yto double Edson's population within a few years. « "Where will we find the money to expand our services as the town grows?" Mayor Kankewitt asks. Edson, soon after the turn of the century, was a staging point on the old Grande Prairie trail from the American border to the Peace River country. The railway put it on a permanent footing. some 200 strong, and that is as it should be. The committee deserve all the encouragement they can get. The Brougham Lodge of the Ma- sonic Order celebrated a ladies night on Friday night last when they en- tertained their wives to a supper in the Claremont - Community Hall. Following the supper card tables were set up and some games were played after which dancing was par- ticipated in, the party breaking up about midnight after an enjoyable evening, But Edson retains it frontier flavor. Mackinaws, ski caps and Cowichan Indian sweaters are nor- mal garb in winter. Talk of the two activities which keep 'Edson alive -- the Canadian National Railways and the lumbering industry -- is everywhere. Even the town police pass by the drunks unless they annoy other people. BRIGHT PROSPECTS That casual approach to life may not last long. n district may soon have: . 1. A multi-million-dollar wood pulp plant at Yates, seven miles to the northeast. 2. A reopened cement plant about 14 miles away. 3. A brick-making industry, bas- ed on nearby clay deposits which could end Medicine Hat's Alberta monopoly on buff-coléred bricks. Best estimate is that these three films, if present plans go through, will employ at least 500 persons. All are so close that most workers could choose to live in Edson. With wives and families, they might double Edson's population within five years. "Just imagine the headaches that would bring," says Mayor Kankewitt, retired former owner of an Edson department store. "I hope the expansion doesn't happen all at once, as it did in Edmonton. Town finances never would keep pace. ON TOP OF THE WORLD '"'Right now we are on top of the us the revenue we need to pay for our new sewer system and wat- er extension. But where would we get the money--Without crippling ourselves -- to give public services to twice our present population? '"'So far our progress has been steady. The town supports only three unemployables. There's work for everyone." Edson, 100-odd miles west of Edmonton, is mainly a railway town, divisional point on the CNR. Logging is its next industry. Only in recent years has the sur- rounding grey-top soil been found ideal for some forms of agriculture, particularly growing seed potatoes. | toes. | The town spreads northward from the railway yards some 14 blocks.
