CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY A record number of people again attended the service of Holy Com- munion last Sunday.

In Seoul, a U.S. Eighth Army spokesman said:- "It is not true as far as this headquarters is concerned. We have at no time or in any place engaged in any such activities." Unofficially alliea officers said Red charges indicated epidemics, perhaps the bubonic plague, were sweeping North Korea and the mmunist propaganda machine s trying to blame it on the UN mand. * ANTI-SLAVE LEADER The New England Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1332 by William Lloyd Garrison, a year before the American Society at Philadelphia, ROOM AND BOARD By Gene Ahetn .

For many of these unfortunates, said the speaker, it was a case of going from one concentration camp to another. The British government's White Paper of 1939, which he termed infamous, advocated dissolu- tion of the Jewish Agency and oblivion for the state. In spite of that, said Rabbi Nor- den, 26,000 Palestine Jews served with the British navy, army and air force, especially in the Italian cam- paign, and the little state kept its artisans working at peak production on war material to be used against Rommel in North Africa. After the war the survivors of the Buchenwald and Dachau horror camps flocked to the new land, where in spite of poor living stand- ards and untold hardships, they at least breathed the air of freedom. The population of the little country is now. nearing 2,000,000, . Rabbi Norden showed some ex- cellent film strips illustrating vati- ous aspects of Israel's advance. The Rev. Mervin A. Bury, min- ister of King Street Church, who introduced the speaker, described how he had received his original training as a scientist in Germany, but because of Nazi racial restric- jos he had studied theology, and also taken responsibility for a children's orphanage in Breslau. Many of these children had been taken as refugees to Britain just before the last war _by Rabbi Nor- den, who was himself interned for ten months in England, but released after screening, and allowed to put his scientific bent to use in aid of the government, FINE PROGRAM The speaker was thanked by Stanley Myers, who expressed ap- preciation that the leader of the Jewish Congregation could speak to the Men's Club at their first meet- ing after Brotherhood Week. Frank Burrows proved an able and affable chairman of the meeting, while Al- bert Walker and Dr. George Werry co-operated to lead a rousing sing- song. Bob Coppin expressed the men's appreciation to the Friend- ship Group Women's Association who served the excellent dinner. Joe Anderson introduced two guest artists in the persons of Ted Frank- lin and. Fred Robbins, youthful cornetists from the Kinsmen Boys' Band, who showed their expert technique in a tuneful group of sel- ections. They were thanked by Frank Hare, The meeting closed with a dis- cussion of the club's purpose and possible future projects. Zone System (Continued from Page 3) from the standpoint of safety of the children on the streets. FALSE ECONOMY "If we were to allow our city to merely grow 'like Topsy' we would some day be the victims of confusion which can be avoided by sane planning' he said. While it is false economy not to estimate the future growth of the city fully enough, it is equally foolish to be too extravagant, he averred and stated that in his opinion, the estimated figure of 90,000 as Osh- awa's populaion in the future, was a sensible one. '"Even at this figure, the recently annexed area provides Oshawa with more space than needed and we have been able to allow for a 'buffer strip' surrounding our city". The speaker went on to explain that the buffer strip would permit full-scale development within, this area and if future growh is even greater than expected, than space for such expansion will be avail able, an area that will readily con- form to the planning that has al- ready been completed inside the buffer strip. BENEFITS IN FUTURE "While we ourselves will derive some benefits from our program of town planning and zoning, the greater benefit of course will be to our future citizens, our children who will carry on with the admin- istration of his community," stated the speaker. "The zoning bylaw effects us all and it is our civic duty to give it some thought. Meanwhile, he concluded, "com- prehensive study and thoughtful planning is being made on this problem, to make the zone bylaw the best and fairest for all." Kiwanian Russell Humphreys in- troduced the guest speaker, expres- sing the opinion that the citizens of Oshawa were indeed fortunate and shoulda ve grtaeful that a fellow-citizen of the talents of Nor- man C. Millman was willing to de- vote so much time and energy, without practically any remuner- ation, in the interests of the city and its citizens, Following tne informative and in- teresting address, Kiwanian Bob Coppin ably voiced the appreciatién of the Kiwanians and guests to the guest speaker. Confidence Vote (Continued from Page 1) tween such moderate leaders as Attlee and Herbert Morrison and the left-wing faction led by Aneurin Bevan. The confidence vote came on a Labor censure motion accusing Churchill of making secret mili- tary pledges to President Truman. Labor critics charged these pled- ges were hinted when Churchill promised in a speech to congress in Washington last month that Bri- tain would take '"'prompt, resolute and effective' action if a Korea truce were reached, then broken by the Communists. Churchill denied making any secret agreement with Truman. He said Attlee's government reached a secret military understanding with the United States last May to take joint action "outside Korea" if Communist planes blasted UN forces from Chinese bases. Churchill said Attlee was justi- fied in making such arrangements and added: : "We conformed in principle to the policy of our predecessors and, indeed, in some respects, it might be said that we did not commit ourselves even as far as they had done." Bevan denounced Churchill for what he called cowardly disclosures of cabinet secrets and demanded, without success, that Churchill produce the actual documents to prove his statements. The prime minister said he still is convinced the UN would make a mistake to start a war with Communist China and 'few ad- ventures could be less useful or fruitful" than to launch defeated Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek on a new mainland war . against the Reds. Central Parking (Continued from Page 1) divided into parking spaces. Whe- ther or not it would have to be policed would be decided at the time. Another question which was con- sidered was the financing of such a project. Members of the board thought that the city should not be asked to bear the full brunt of the cost but that the merchants who would be 'directly benefitted by the space should be tsked to share. This might be done as it is in some cit ies in the United States where such parking spaces have been establish ed. Those retailers who were con- sidered to benefit had a special "benefit area" tax levied upon them by the city. : SEE MOVE TO OUTSKIRTS It was not considered beyond the bounds of possibility that if the parigng problem in the centre of the "city got worse that eventually there would be a movement to the outskirts, It has happened in other cities and might well happen here. The establishment of shopping areas on the outskirts or even out in the country, on the highway, half way between here and Bowmanville where both communities might be drawn upon is being sericusly con- sidered. Such a move would of courst, de- tract from the business area of the city. This would be grave financial loss not only to the merchants whose investments were there but also to the city which has put all its heavy services throughout the district. 3 WAYS E TO GET A « Phone First . . . and make ap- pointment for fast 1-visit loan. 2.

Five others presumably died in the explosion. Seal Prairies (Continued from Page 1) covered with unslaked lime and buried. The first grave--200 by 60 feet and 10 feet deep--was dug on the farm of Konstantin -Haun where 40 cattle caught feot and mouth disease. Owners of diseased cattle will be compensated by the federal government at between $40 and $100 a head plus allowances for +the carcass value. Quick clean-up or early control of the outbreak appeared unlikely to federal officials although Dr. Kenneth Wells, associate chief veterinarian for Canada, said in Regina there is a possibility of it "before the spring break-up." Meanwhile, cattlemen were urged not to dump cattle on the market. George C. Ross of Aden, Alta., president of the Western Stock Growers' Association, called for cooperation 'to prevent a national calamity." "If there is a rush of selling, it will break the market and cause heavy financial loss to the stock owners," he said.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, February 27, 1952 § Price Wars Still Rage | In U.S. Retail Business New York (AP)--Are retail price wars flaring up again in the United States? "Yes," many independent mer- chants report. "Cut-throat price cutting threatens to drive us out of business." "Nonsense," scoff other retail experts, '"'Current pricing policies are following the usual February pattern." An Associated Press survey of retail price competion in 24 U, 8. cities gives this general picture of conditions six month§ after the bitter price battles of last sum- mer: Price wars. still are going on in several major retail centres. Bu they're being fought in a different way. It's an unofficial undercover style of warfare, concealed from the buying public but no less real and deadly than the noisy fracas of six months ago. ° + Why the continued price wars? Small retailers unanimously pin the blame on the U. 8. Supreme Court's decision last spring which pulled the props from fair trade laws in 45 states. The court's action paved the way for price cutting of nat- ionally-adverised brands. Faced with heavy inventories and lagging consumer demand, many stores are reported still using marked-down branded merchan- dise as "bait" to attract store traffic. That's the complaint from the small independent merchants, Big stores defendt he policy as one which results in lower prices to the consumer. NEW GIMMICKS But even where price competi- tion is violent, as in New York, you no longer find it proclaimed in fat black type in newspaper ad- vertisements, Instead, merchants are resorting to the "unadvertised special,' with reductions on brand- ed products that may range from 10 to 50 per cent below the manu- facturer's list price. The price is lowered from day to day, quietly and without fanfare. How much it is lowered generally depends on what the, competitor across the street is doing. Then there are the fat trade-in allowances paid by some dealers. 1} | And the dealers who later give the customer back the old range or refrigerator he traded in. In many cities discount houses do a thriving business in natiogs ally advertised refrigerators, ru toasters and television sets at su stantial reducions from manufa@' urers' list prices. A top merchandising executive of one of New York's biggest depart- ment stores confirms that unoffi- cial competitive price-cutting is in full swing, paricularly in the area where Macy's and Gimbels slugged it out last summer. But the New York merchandising moguls--re- membering what happened in the summer--would prefer to avold another open war, he says. Featured in New York's '"un- official' price war at present are small electrical appliances, long- playing phonograph records, sew- ing machines, cosmetics, drugs and books. Items -like refrigerators and tele- vision sets are being sold at sub- stantial discount§ in hastily rented lofts and warehouses by dealers who have sprung up overnight.
