16 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, July 7, 1953 Buffalo Rides Again After 3-day Trek BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)--A three- day bus strike in this industrial area of 1,000,000 persons was set- tled Monday and AFL drivers star- ted buses rolling in time for the evening rush. The 1,800 drivers, mechanics and clerical workers of Niagara Front- ier Transit Corp. voted to accept a one-year contract providing a wage increase now and another Jan. 1. The Amalgamated Street, Elec- tric Railway and Motor Coach Em- ployees Union Division 1342 an- nounced the vote as 790 to 320 for acceptance of the company offér. The strike, affecting Buffalo, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and adjacent points, began Friday night after the union voted to reject a com- pany offer. The union sought a pay boost for drivers to make up for the loss caused by a reduction in hours last week from 44 to 40. Other employees, already on a 40- hour week, sought an increase. The new contract gives drivers a 14-cent hourly boost retroactive to July 1 and another three cents Jan. 1. They will receive $1.85 an hour now and $1.88 Jan. 1. Increases for mechanics amoun- ted to 5.3 per cent now and another 3 cents an hour Jan. 1. MLA Alleges Parole Given Sex Offenders TORONTO (CP)--Sex offenders are being paroled from provincial reformatories, the Ontario legisla- ture's reforms committee was told Monday. Despite previous assurances by parole board chairman Rev. George Dix that such was not the case, committee chairman W. J. Stewart (PC-Parkdale) said that it was true. Mr. Stewart told the committee that acting on the advice of a "res- ponsible private citizen he had established it as a fact" that such offenders were paroled. "This sort of thing has let the department down," said Mr. Ste- wart, referring to the evidence given earlier by Mr.' Dix. The parole board chairman had told the institution committee that drug ad- dicts, arsonists and sex offenders are never considered for parole. Mr. Dix said later that when he made the statement to the com- mittee concerning sex offenders he was speaking of "dangerous" of- fenders, not the type who were what he termed "merely a nuis- ance to society." The committee is expected to re- sume its hearings Friday. Mean- while it will inspect Burwash re- formatory, Sudbury jail, and Min- now Lake Training School for boys. Col. Hedley Basher, deputy min- ister of reform institutions, amn- swered questions concerning differ- ences in maintenance costs at various institutions. Mr. Stewart said Cobourg showed a cost of $2.48 a day for each per- son for maintenance, Bowman- ville's cost was $3.61 and Galt's 4.16. $18 v Basher said some of the differences were caused by extra food being issued, such as at Bur- wash, where men worked outside in exposed weather during winter. Long-term Minister New Lieut.-Governor WINNIPEG (CP)--John Stewart McDiarmid, whose appointment as Manitoba lieutenant-governor was announced Monday in Ottawa, had the longest period of service of any active Canadian cabinet minister when he retired June 30 as Man- itoba's minister of mines and nat- ural resources. He had held the post since 1932. ! His job as mines minister sent him ranging over the 250,000 square miles of rural Manitoba that con- stituted his domain with the same tireless efficiency that made him a fine curler and put hole-in-one zip into his golfing. Of the Manitoba northland that he loves and worked to develop he once said: "Nature'is beckoning with a finger dipped in gold." He was born Dec. 25, 1882, in Perthshire, Scotland. He came to Canada with' his parents in 1887 and spent his early youth on a farm near Portage La Prairie. A lumber merchant in private lif® he entered politics for the first time in 1925 as a city alderman. He was elected to the federal house in 1926 and served until 1930. MOUNTAIN BUILDING NAPIER, N.Z.
