Arrest of Russian Minister Hints Kremlin Stirring Purge By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (AP)--Pravda today, the on an obscure deputy idk, oN bgdan idragid security ministry's former chief for being taken in by the false evidence. The Communist party organ said the culprit, identified as one Ryu- min, was arrested. It charged the former minister of state security, 8. Ignatiev, with "political blind- ness and gullibility" and denounced a commission of medical experts in the case for making "incorrect con- clusions." The prominent doctors, accused last January of plotting against Soviet leaders and having caused the deaths of two, were ordered freed Saturday in a surprise move new internal affairs min- istry headed by Lavrenti Beria, , | first deputy premier in the Soviet ernment, OV! . (This was the first word the West had that Ignatiev had been security minister early this year. He was not further identified by Pravda, but it is possible that he is Semyon Ignatiev, recently elevated to one of the highest pogitions in the Soviet hierarchy--a seat on the five-man secretary of the Commun- ist party's powerful central com- mittee. If such a ranking leader is under attack, a purge already may be stirring within the Kremlin.)

Richard Cart- wright, one of the province's first legislative councillors. This was pointed out by O. J. Henderson, president of the Durham County Club of Toronto, who delved into the archives and brought to light how county municipalities received their names. The Honourable Mr. Cartwright was one of the members of Lieut- enant Governor Simcoe's legis- lative council. It was Simcoe's pro- of 1798 that defined the surveyed along the lake front, "'to- gether with all the land northward to the chain of small lakes back of Peterborough". The territory | north of this belonged to the Mis- sissauga Indians and the boundary line remained indefinite for a num- ber of years. Most of the northern part of the county was surveyed in 1816-17 und- er the direction of Samuel Wilmot and in 1821 Cartwright, Manvers, Cavan, Mariposa, Opps and Emily wee named as new townships. In 1849, however, the last three were made part of the new Victoria County leaving the present six townships comprising the county of Dr rham. anvers received its name from Charles Pierrepont, Earl of Man- v t prom: .nt family of ot- tinz..amshire, while the Irish set- tlers had their turn, naming Cavan after County Cavan-in the Emerald | e. Portions of Hope and Darlington were surveyed by a Mr. Jones as early as 1791-92 at the time the county was consituted. The survey was continued by Messrs. Hambly, Iredale and McDonnell and by 1797 the three townships along the lake were almost completely laid out. Hope was named after Col. Henry Hope a member of the legis- lature; Clarke after Maj. Gen Al- ured Clarke, first Lieut. Gov. of Lower Canada and Darlington after the town in Durham Co., England.

Easter Service Largely Attended Speaking ' before an overflow Easter congregation in St. An- drew's United Church yesterday Forming: the Rev. George Telford, MA, DD, preached on the theme, "The Power of His Resurrection", using as his text, Philippians 3:10, "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death." Dr. Telford chose the analogy of the great new power development at Kitimat, B.C., with its tremen- dous dynamoes to express the meaning of the power of the resur- rection. Saint Paul had used the Greek word "dunamos" (from which dynamo and dynamite is de- rived) to express the phrase in his letter to the brethren in Philippi. Christianity, said Dr. Telford, was not a stained glass window affair nor a collection of lifeless wax- works, There was dynaniite in it. Jesus said, '"Ye shall receive power and be my witnesses." The church fathers gathered strength from that primal source, and went on from generation to generation in the power of the spirit. Modern power is of no interest to us until we turn the switch on said the minister, and see what it can do for us. When men and women seize upon the cource of spiritual power, which is Jesus, then miracles oc- cur. Then we feel the effect of the vivid, energetic, living Christ. It takes the power of Jesus, to unveil the buried talents that many of us possess, to let us see those around us not merely as men and women, but as sons and daugh- ters of God. Choral music at the morning service included an anthem by the oir, ** the Lord is Risen", by ¢ Thiman, and Dudley Buck's "My Redeemer and My Lord" sung by soprano soloist Joan Black. Special music by organist and choir-director Kelvin James, Alefred Hollins, West's "Easter Morn," and Karg-Elert's 'Praise the Lord with Drums and Cym- bals". Preceding the evening service, Mr. James played an organ recital made up of the first movement of Mendelssohn's Sonata in F Minor, Four Pieces for a Musical Clock, {lavan-Bigzs) and the Dubois "Marche eroique de Jeanne d'Arc". The choir san ceptably Baynon's "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name"', Marryott's the God and Father", and the Dutch carol, "This Joyful Easter Tide", for women's voices. Soloists in the last two anthems were Mrs. J. J. Pegg and Mrs. E. K. James. UEHLER 12 KING ST.

D. THOMAS, MLA The third session of the 24th legislature ended on Thursday aft- ernoon. While it was not an excit- ing one, it was a busy session. Over 150 bills were discussed and approved by the members. Bill 80, an act respecting the metropolitan area of Toronto, with quite a number of amendments, was finally approved. With the ap- pointment of the new metropoli- tan council, the area will be the sixth largest municipality in North America. Some system of co-ordin- ation was long overdue. The repre- sentatives of the various municipal- ities will now have an opportunity to discuss general problems ob- Jjectively and to appreciate the dif- ficulties of the local' councils. The ground work for future consulta- tion has been laid. The rest is up to the area representatives. CEMETERY COMMITTEE NAMED When speaking in the throne speech debate, W. J. Stewart (Parkdale) brought to the atten- tion of the members, that certain companies concerned in the de- velopment of cemetery plots, were ing exorbitant profits. Mr. Stewart is a retired funeral direc- tor and is well qualified to refer to these companies. A door-to-door | sales force is now operating in To- ronto and across Ontario, selling cemetery lots to the public. Com- panies are granted charters by the provincial government. It is reli- ably reported that newly - form- ed incorporated companies are sell- ing land for cemetery plots with- out any preparation or develop- ment in the Toronto area. The sell- ing prices are giving tremendous returns on the original purchase price. One concern is reported to have built up the original invest ment of $500 to over $1,000,000 in five years. At the present time cemeteries are exempt from local taxation in most municipalities, If these companies are operating for profit, then they should contribute towards local taxes. A portion of the selling price of a cemetery lot is apportioned for cemetery maintenance or perpetu- al care. hese sums are invested in a trust fund. Under the present | cemeteries act, a report is to be | presented. to the government every 12 months. It is doubtful if this re- quirement has been complied with. The operation of these companies, now brought to the attention of the government, has resulted in the ap- pointment of a select committee of the legislature to investigate the cemeteries act, and to make rec- ommendations at the next session of the legislature. A committee of nine members has been appointed. I am one of those named. GIVE UP RENT CONTROL The provincial government has decided to secede from the field of rent control in March, 1954. I was a member of the select com- mittee on rent control last year. When the amendment was intro- duced by the minister of travel and publicity for second reading, I told the house I was very disappointed with the decision of the govern- ment. I am sure the majority of members in the legislature agreed with me that there is a need for the continuation of controls in some areas. I was conceded that point, but the difference of opinion was in respect to the agency to admin- ister controls. Last year over 900 municipalities were canvassed re- specting rent control. Seven hundred replied and stat- ed they wished to be de-controlled, leaving a balance of over 219, ask- ing for controls to be continued. The minister stated in the debate he thought it was unfair that 30 per cent of the municipalities should contribute towards a serv- ice for 20 per cent of the munici- palities. My reply to this was, and I take my actual quotation from the official Hansard: 'I did not hear the hon. minster rise and complain when the minister for municipal affairs, said the cost of the assessment of the metropolitan area of Toronto would be $825,000 up to the end of March, 1954." The cost of the assessment for greater Toronto is to be paid by the provincial government, whose revenue is received from the whole province. I think this statement by the minister of travel and publicity is very norrow, parochial in fact. While it is true only 20 per. cent of the muncipalities are under rent control, they consist of some of the most nsely populated areas. I have taken about 20 of them, cities like Oshawa, Hamilton, To- ronto, Windsor, Brantford and Galt. They consist of about two and a half million people, These figures were taken from the re- port of the department of munici- pal affairs, year-ending 1951. They would be even greater at the present time. In the 219 mu- nicipalities interested in controls there are over three millon peo- ple. The government admits, in the light of the present housing situa- tion, there is still need for con- trols, but maintains the local coun- cils are in a much better position to administer this service than the provincial government. HOUSING STILL CRITICAL This contention is hardly a sound one. I do believe local councils are subjected to much greater pressure than the provincial gov- ernment. The government, I think, will concede the point, there is need for controls in congested areas, such as the larger cities, because of the tical i situation, but maintains the local couneil should administer controls. At a meeting of the Toronto city council last week, a motion was supported by 19 to 1, that the pro- vincial government be petitioned to continue controls. The premier, replying to me in the debate, said we are on the verge of a great building boom and the law of supply and demand would adjust this situation in the fullness of time. One municipality which had asked to be de-controli- ed as of March 1, 1953, now peti- Awards Presented By Skating Club Successful Year Closed By Party The Oshawa Skating Club brought a most successful season to a close on Sunday night with a bang up party and night of fun. The highlight of the event was the presenta tion of awards won in the club championships on the previous Sunday. The trophies, to the various skaters for their hard work during the season, were presented by Mrs. Ewart McLaugh- lin. Mrs. McLaughlin also offered the club's congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wally Distelmeyer for their part in making the year such a fine success. Little Catharine Learmonts won the novice Championship and was presented with the Tonkin Trophy. The Junior Champion this year is young Don Jackson who captured the Victor Trophy. The Intermediate men's trophy, which is the Hambly Trophy, was taken by David Lowery. Intermediate ladies', T he Mec- Laughlin Trophy, was won by Toby Keeler, and the Senior Trophy don- ated by Fred V. Skinner was won by Hughie Smith. Due to the fact that Dawn Steck- ley, who has held the senior cham- pionship for a good many years, did not enter competition this year, left the field wide open and Hugh Smith was the victor although he had very keen competition in Gloria Kavanaugh, Elaine Richards and David Lowery. Dawn Steckley was presented with a little trophy that she can keep as a memento of the many years she was senior Shap on in the Oshawa Skating u The junior pairs this year were won by Donald Petre and his young sister Mary Ellen Petre, who did a wonderful job and deserved to take the Finia Trophy. The senior pair was taken by the Domion champions Dawn Steckley and David Lowery. Last but by no means least the dance champions of the club made a clean sweep and captured trophies. Margaret Jean Carr and Hugh Smith won both events, the Felt Trophy for their Tango and Fox Trot and the Basset Trophy for the Waltz and Ten Step. profit motive is uppermost. If appraisals are fair, and give a reasonable return on investment, then I see no reason why controls should not continue. Ido think the provincial government is in much better position to administer this service, for the councils are sub- jected to. so much local pressure. Now the thrd session of the legislature is ended. I trust these weekly reports have been of inter- est to readers of The Times-Gaz- ette. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the staff of The Times- Gazette for their co-opera- tion in givng me space to present these reports to the people in our tioned the government to have con- | ridin, trols re-imposed because in some cases rents in the area have been increased by 100 per cent. While we have landlords in: our own area who are just and reasonable, there is a minority, where the My services are available to everyone, and although sometimes requests for advice are beyond the realm of provincial jurisdiction, I am always happy to help anyone in the many problems which arise. " given as a reward As a token of appreciation for their wonderful work this year for the Oshawa Skating Club, on be- half of the mémbers, Don Dulmage presented Mr. and Mrs. Wally Dis telmeyer with a traveller's clock, and wished them the best of luck on their summer skating school at Stamford, Ontario. During the evening the skaters had a broom ball game and a base- ball game on ice which was a lot of fun for them and very enjoyable for the speactors. After the game was officially over everyone adjourned to the lounge where a very nice lunch was served by Mrs. E. Smith committee. UK. Even Ends Food Rationing For Livestock LONDON (CP)--Dates for the de- control of animal feeding stuffs have been announced by Britain's food ministry. Rationing and price control of feeding stuffs end Aug. 1. On the same date, United Kingdom wheat growers will be free to dispose of their Sheps for human consumption or seed. Announcement of the decontrol dates follows the original an- nouncement in January that free ing of controls was in prospect for grain, cereals and feeding stuffs. It had not been announced yes when the grain trade will be handed back to private enterprise, both | but it is expected to be this fall Shedding of grain controls may slightly increase Canadian wheat sales to Britain, as the British gow ernment intends to use dollar wheat as a kind of bargaining counter to avoid paying premium prices for non-dollar wheat.
