Wealth Belongs To Workers, Says Knowles, CCF Speaker a pong of Suis omy be : to the people who create it, x Knowles, CCF MP, party 'whip, told a gathering last Lakeview Park. Because believed that, he said, it also believed the job of goveirn- ment was to bring about a more just distrubution of the national wealth. That was why the workers and the farmers were represented by the CCF. In the Times-Gazette last night, be noted that a federal member (Hon. Paul Martin) had said Can- ada's prosperity was due to the government nt. "But prosperity is not due to the gove nt," the speaker declar- ed. "It is due to the workers and farmers of this country." $8,000 EACH A YEAR Twenty years ago the national wealth was $3 billion. Now it was $24 billion. This country was pro- ducing enough to provide each wage earner an average of $8,000 a year.

The its proposed by thé i not something for noth ing, He said, "We suggest only that you get back what godu have produced. "That is whole premise on which we work." The question was: "How?'". The answer lay, Knowles said, in legis- lation guaranteeing proper prices to farmers, in labor legislation guaranteeing bargain rights and a guaranteed wage. GUARANTEE WAGE : What was more, the CCF be- lieved in a guaranteed yearly wage. "No longer," Knowles said, "should industry be on a yearly basis and the worker on a season- al basis." Outlining the CCF social security program, Mr. Knowles said his party favored abolishing the means test for old age pensions at 65 and favored an increase from $40 to $60. The $40 rate had been set in {1949, he said. The reason for the proposed increase was because the "What right have the bond - clippers to the wealth produced b, and farmers," he po STANLEY KNOWLES national produét has since gone from $16 billion to. $24 billion.

Times-Gazette Switchboard Became Balky Wrong impulses, queer quirks from unknown causes, have been giving the switchboard operator at The Times-Gazette severe head- aches in recent days. This reached a climax this forenoon when the switchboard became really balky, and confusion reigned supreme as calls went astray. The unusual thing about the com- plicated electronic picture was the fact that for the past. week or two, the switchboard girl had no idea when a call was completed properly or not. Sometimes the electronic equipment worked per- fectly; at other times'lines to de- partments went dead, despite the fact that the lights on the board were operating satisfactorily.

Defence counsel Greer readily Starr Likens Liberals To Old Vessel At Sea BOWMANVILLE -- Speaking at a meeting In support of Conserva- tive candidate Charles E. Stephen- son here last night, "Mike" Starr, MP for Ontario County, likened the Liberal party to an old "ship at sea". "When a ship has been at sea a long time," said Mr. Starr, "it becomes encrusted with barnacl- es, and its crew sluggish and in- dolent. "When barnacles cover a ship they take it into dry dock' and scrape the barnacles off. We need a new ship now, and we need a new helmsman to steer the destiny of our country. "The new ship will be the Con- servative Party, and the helmsman will be Mr. George Drew." Mr. Starr spoke briefly preceding his introduction of the guest speak- er, Mr. J. M. Macdonnell, MP, financial critic of the opposition. Other speakers included Mr. Alex Carruthers, chairman of the Dur- ham County Conservative Associa- tion, who introduced Conservative candidate Mr. '"'Charlie" Stephen- son. TRUCE SUNDAY?

Their widowed mother, Mrs. Dorothy Corbett, 52, formerly of Toronto, witnessed most of the dis- pute which culminated with Roger "Buck" Corbett, allegedly seizing a rifle and pointing it at his broth- er. Last evening the mother was in a state of hysteria and shock. TROUBLE OVER CAR . An auto accident, some lost stock shares and an argument over the house are among the grievances said to have led to the shooting. An accident in which Roger drove his recently-purchased automobile into a fence, precipitated the argument. Constable Wilton said Ted told Roger shortly before the shooting to leave the house and find other lodgings. He said that trouble had developed between the two broth- ers and the mother over ownership of the house. Mrs. Corbett said that the younger brother, "who was always having bad luck," had been in a mentally-depressed state for several weeks.

TIMMINS (CP) -- Fifty angry hardrock miners rushed into the strike-bound Broulan Reef gold mines this morning, attacked 30 workers who had crossed picket lines and forced some of them out- side the gates. Three shots were fired by a Broulan security officer as seven strikers sped back to picket lines in a car. At least 40 men were bruised and cut in the fighting. None was seriously hurt.
