BOWMANVILLE AND DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE--DONALD HENDRY, 77 ONTARIO ST., PHONE 881 Stephenson Scores Liberal Financing BOWMANVILLE--Speaking at a gatherin held on the lawn of Miss ntosh, Newcastle, yester- day, Charles Stephenson, Progres- sive Conservative candidate for Durham Riding, outlined in brief the general election manifesto of the Conservative Party in Canada. Said Mr. Stephenson in refer- ence to Mr. George Drew's prom- ise to reduce federal taxation by some five hundred million dollars a year, "When a municipal govern- ment sets its estimates for a year they are set high. They make sure there is some to spare. You may rest assured that the present gov- ernment has employed the same means. Their estimate has been set high. Plenty high." "The Conservative Party prom- ises to cut taxes by that five hun- dred lion dollars, or 10 per cent, and my experience in Ottawa has led me to believe that it can be done." THE CURRIE REPORT Continuing his reference to waste is the present operation of Eov- bc the well discussed Currie report. "Mr. Currie was chosen for this job because of his personal integ rity and efficiency," said the can- didate. 'His reputation was well known in all governmental circles, and yet, when his report was fin- ally completed and submitted our Prime Minister, Mr. Louis St. Laurent was prompted to say, 'I am not going to call Mr. Currie a liar, but -- the real facts are dif- ferent from those reported." Mr. Stephenson then mentioned specific instances of waste and in- efficiency, saying, "There are many cases, some of them almost laugh - provoking, and yet death- ly serious, because it is your money."" There were boots and shoes for the army, a cool $22,000,000 worth, 20 pairs for each member of the armed forces, and a $380,000 ex- penditure for neckties, 1,500,000 of them, which caused Mr. St. Lau- rent to remark, 'This might have well been a mistake." SAYS GOVERNMENT LAZY "A government which has been in power so long, some 18 years or so, tends to become lazy, a little sloppy, and perhaps not fully aware of the true problems con- fronting them." "It is time for a change," said Mr. Stephenson, "We need some new life in government, some new blood, a new spirit." The Conservative candidate spoke also concerning natural re- sources in Canada, referring spe- cifically to United States capital in industry here. 'We welcome Amer ican investment in industry," stat- ed Mr. Stephenson. "But we would recommend that factories be built here to manufacture the products derived from these Canadian raw materials." "Raw materials will go out of our country, and return to us at, higher prices in the manufactured state. We want to keep our fac- tories within our limits, for em- Ployment's , as well as profit's FARM FLOOR PRICES Mr. Stephenson went on to dis- cuss the Conservative approach to farm floor prices, saying, 'We will appoint a National Agricultur- al Board for the purpose of estab- lishing fair floor prices related to actual farm production costs." Summing up his brief address, the candidate assured his listeners of the Conservative promise to re- establish the true principles of the | Confederation Pact set forth in the British North America Act, and return control of the nation's busi- ness to the elected representatives of the people, which would put an end to government by secret Or- ders - in - Council. "This coming election on August 10 is a serious matter for us all to consider," said Mr. Stephenson, "There are many of our freedoms at stake." Referring to a statement by Hon. Douglas Abbott, Mr. Stephenson quoted, "Let us not try to fool ourselves, even if we are trying | to fool the public." The Conservative candidate then intimated that this sort of state- ment was the type of infringement on representation of the people that must be duly considered and cor- rected on August 10. Young P.C.'s Secretary At Newcastle Meeting BOWMANVILLE -- Miss Mary Bowman, Executive Secretary of the Ontario Young Progressive Conservative Association spoke briefly in Newcastle yesterday at an outdoor gathering assembled to hear Mr. Charles Stephenson, Con- servative candidate Ws Durham Riding. Mise Bowman told briefly of her travels about the province in re- lation to her various campaigning tasks. Speaking to a group which was largely female, Miss Bowman stat- ed that despite what the detractors might say, it was still the women that won elections. On behalf of Mr. Stephenson Miss Bowman stated, * id lost its Conservative candidate by some 40 votes at the last election in 1949. It is up to us to work and work hard for our success this | Avgust 10th. There are many young people in the community that will be voting for the first | time. It is up to us to visit these young people, and talk to them. We must convince them of the] importance of their first time vot- | ing decision." Miss Bowman also mentioned the | ill feeling arising out of the elec- tion date, but stated that with co- operation on the part of every duti- ful elector. Mr. Stephenson, now the candidate, would be in three weeks time the member for this riding. '"We will be celebrating Mr. Step- riding | henson's victory as well as others across the province,"and across the country." Drew Attacks Abbott Talk By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer THETFORD MINES, Que. (CP) Hon. George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, said Monday night that Liberal speakers see the issue of centralization of power at Ottawa as a 'bogey' being used by the PCs to frighten Quebec voters. Addressing an outdoor crowd of 2,000 persons in this asbestos mining cenfre, 70 miles south of Quebec City, Mr. Drew said: "If Quebec is afraid of anything, it is certainly not a bogey because nothing is more real than the centralization of the Liberal party, which will surely lead you to a unitary state if you don't stop its advance next Aug. 10." He said his is the "only party now supporting provincial auton- my in the "House of Commons," and described federal-provincial re- lations as "the issue at stake" in the current election campaign. Speaking in both French and English, he added: hi | 4 bec to be Quel has anything afraid of, it is the 'centralizer,' the Liberal party." Mr. Drew also said Finance + Minister Abbo.t had overstepped his rights by naming his successor in the cabinet. He referred to a speech by Mr Abbott in Montmagny-1'Islet con- stituency Sunday night, in which, he said, the finance minister had said that Jean Lesage, Liberal candidate in that riding, would be the next finance minister. It was not Mr. Abbott's right to choose his own successor, he said. "That is the right of the next prime minister, and he has not | been chosen yet." (In a statement issued in Ot- tawa, Mr. Abbott said Monday he apparently had been misunder- stood. He said he had expressed the view that Mr. Lesage 'might go farther" than being the next solicitor-general, as a previous speaker had mentioned. Mr, Abbott had said that Mr. Lesage 'might some day become the first French- speaking minister of finance." The minister added: "Obviously, I can- not say who will be appointed minister of finance. That is the Jesponsibility of the prime minis- yh ; The PC party leader arrived here at supper time, shortly after Prime Minister St. Laurent left the city, following an earlier speech. Be- fore his speech here, Mr. Drew motored to: nearby Black Lake for a brief speech. This morning and afternoon, Mr. Drew was scheduled to visit the Quebec towns of Beaumont, St. Vallier, and St. Jean Port Joli, before making a major speech at Rimouski tonight. On the federal-provincial issue, Mr. Drew added that his party is "determined to block the trend toward centralization and to re- spect the letter and spirit of the Confederation agreement."

The climber, Georges 'Barachi, fell into the chasm while scaling L'Aiguille du Fou (The Fool's Needle) Saturday. Efforts of res- cuers to haul him to safety since then have been fruitless.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, July 21, 1908 § Canadian Conductor Leads U.K. Orchestras LONDON (CP) -- The Canadian and British broadcasting corpora- tions share a major problem, says music director Geoffrey Wadding- ton of the CBC. Television takes up a lot of space. The impression is one of several that British-born Waddington has picked up in a crowded European visit, first since he was appointed CBC music director late last year. He has not had all the time he'd have liked for browsing through the BBC TV realm, but what he's seen has convinced him that the '|twe state-operated systems face the same difficulties in taming the latest broadcasting medium. The Canadian conductor spent a day with the BBC and watched a TV production of an opera, an ex- tensive operation that reminded him of similar efforts in Canada. Despite its infancy, Waddington said, the CBC effort 'stacked up well" with what he saw produced here. It has been a busy summer for the musician, who left Leicester for Lethbridge, Alta., in 1908 at the age of three. Waddington was one of three official Canadian delegates to a conference sponsored by the United Nations educatoinal, social and cultural orkanization, dealing with the role of music in educating the young and adults. The Brus- sels conference, from June 29 to July 9, established an international society for musical education and named Dr. Arnold Walter of Tor- onto as president. Bulk of the 40-nation meeting was devoted to reports on country- by-country progress in musical education, Waddington said. Returning here, Waddington was "on call" at CBC headquarters to British musicians who are inter- ested in going to Canada or have already decided to go. He also fitted in two BBC invita- tion concerts. At: Glasgow, Waddington included works by two Canadian composers, conducting the orchestra through Coronation Overture by , Murray Adaskin, professor at the University of Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland Sketches by Howard Cable of Toronto. A later Manchester concert in- cluded Our Canada, a suite for orchestra by Toronto's John Jacob Weinzweig.
