IKE TOLD FRIENDLINESS EVER Back from a five-week tour of South America, Dr. Milton Eisel hower is shown at the White House with the president as he reports on the trip. Dr. Eisen- hower said he had been met with "unprecedented friendliness' in every one of the 10 South Ameri- can republics he visited as the personal envoy of his brother. ~--Central Press Canadian Drew Repeats In Last Election Speech TORONTO (CP)--George Drew made the final major speech of his general election campaign Thurs- day night and urged Canadians to preserve the two-party system by voting the Liberals out of office next Monday. The Progressive Conservative leader addressed between 5,000 and 6,000 persons in Exhibition Park on the shore of Lake Ontario. Earlier in the evening he made his final radio broadcast of the campaign, reviewing his party's platform in a half-hour speech over the CBC's Trans-Canada network. Today's schedule calls for Mr. Drew to spend the morning in Ottawa, doing no campaigning, then to travel by automobile through the Ottgwa valley south of the capital, speaking at Hawkes- bury and Eastview ore return- joe to Ottawa for an evening meet- Ig . Introduced to the park rally as *"a great Canadian" by Premier Frost of Ontario, provincial treas- urer when Mr. Drew was Ontario mier from 1943 to 1948, Mr. w said the Conservatives are ready and able to form a govern- ment. Replying to Trade Minister Howe's assertion that the party is in no, shape to take office after 18 ears out of power, he said that the voters take Mr. Howe's word, "it means the end of the two- party system in Canada." He said he is confident the dem- ocratic instincts of the Canadian people will result in preservation of the two-party system in Mon- day's vote. Repeating his party's promise to cut taxes by $500,000,000, he Tax Pledge said Prime Minister St. Laurent had expressed shock at the oppos- ition suggestion that 10 per cent of the $2,500,000,000 defence budget could be reduced without impair- ing defence efficiency. "I only wish he had been suf- ficiently shocked to do something about it." There was nothing more certain than death and taxes--"but the latter doesn't need to be so perm- anent if you-make the right de- cision on Monday." Earlier, addressing a picnic aud- fence of about 350 at Orillia, he promised two trade-building visits, one to Britain and the other to the United States, if the Conserv- atives are elected. He said he would go to London with the new ministers of trade, finance and-_ agriculture to "re- open British markets" to Canadian farm products and would confer in Washington with President Eisen- hower on U. S. restrictions on im- ports of some Canadian foodstuffs and U. 8. "dumping" of textile products in this country. '"There is_only one way we can make our farmers prosperous--and in that way keep our villages, towns and cities prosperous. That is to find export markets for our farm products." Last year Canada had sold no pork, beef, salmon, dairy or poul- try products to Britain. The atti- tude of the Liberal government was that Canada had to wait for U. S. action to improve trading conditions with Britain and the rest of the sterling area. Said Mr. Drew: '"Canada is able to take care of her own affairs." Deutsch No Danger To Welsh Tongue RHYL, Wales (Reuters) -- The Welsh cultural festival Thursday confirmed a first prize award to a German boy octet after deciding that their singing in German did not "endanger" the Welsh lan- guage. The appeals committee of the annual National Eisteddfod made the decision in overruling an ob- jection against Wednesday's award to the youthful Bach- choir from Brunswick, Germany. The second- 'place Welch choir, after mastering a Welsh translation of English lyr- ies, complained that rules of the competition required all singing to be done in Welsh. The committee agreed that the regulation was in the books. But, they decided, its purpose was 'to afeguard the status of the Welsh nguage,'"' and singing in "German or any other contoinental guage," posed no "danger" to Welsh. The Eisteddfod's coveted bardic chair was awarded to a 46-year- old Baptist pastor, Rev. E. Llwyd Williams for his poem 'Y Efordd" (The Way), adjudged the best of 23 entries. Judges said that his work rises '"'at times to the realms of truly great poetry." The shy pastor was escorted to the bardic chair % Welsh actor- playwright Emlyn Williams to the cheers of a record 12,000 persons crowded into the vast pavilion. Williams wore the white robes in which he was earlier initiated into the order of the Druids.

RABBIT FOOD MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Mrs. Bettie Brooks lives on Bettie Brooks Lane and has quite a problem, The 75- year-old widow grows and sells pansies, and wild rabbits have been invading the pansy beds. She's set traps but can't find any- thing the rabbits like better than the pansies and they won't go in the traps when they can get pansies outside. The caribou's hair is his built-in life preserver. Since each hair has many air cells, these tiny buoys enable the animal to swim swiftly and easily. | THE CARLING BREWERIES LIMITED WATERLOO --MONTREAL--TORONTO --TECUMSEH Wild Life of Rufus, Restless Hornbill, Ends By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP)--Heaven help a pigeon on a day like this Rufus the restless hornbill was aloft over lower Manhattan for a second day. What a crazy, mixed- up hornbill! Traffic was blocked in the streets. Hundreds of New Yorkers passed up lunch to cheer and ap- plaud Rufus, who did everything but take a bow. The U.S. weather bureau got all mixed up. And pigeons, innocent bystand- ers of the whole pageant, had a rough time. Rufus, a $200 red-necked horn- bill from Siam, escaped from a pet shop Wednesday. Freedom made the turkey-sized bird giddy. He spent Wednesday keeping a flap or two ahead of agent Joseph Schles- inger of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. Thursday Rufus opened his per- formance in the role of weather vane. With a magnificent sense of audience appeal, he posed atop an instrument tower of the weather bureau in lower Manhattan. Then he hopped onto a real wea- thervane, fouling it up so it re- corded steady northwest winds. Actually the winds were variable. A pigeon, a regular tenant of the weather tower, started in for a landing. But he got one look at Rufus and his seven-inch bill, pulled up his flaps and wheeled off into the sky in terror. . All this brought Schlesinger back into action, net in hand. Rufus looked on 'in delight as Schlesinger scrambled up the wea- ther tower. When the agent was almost close enough to shake hands, Rufus flapped away disdain- fully to the 20th floor of a nearby skyscraper. Schlesinger chased Rufus in and out of three more skyscrapers. But hours later, Rufus--or his twin--was captured in ignominious fashion. The hornbill blundered through a trap into a pigeon coop belong- ing to Frank Renda on a down- town Manhattan roof. While Renda's pigeons fluttered nervously, Renda collared Rufus and took him to the cellar where he put him in solitary confinement in--of all things--a large canary cage. ! Lost Market For Wheat Is Disaster PORT ARTHUR (CP) -- George Hees, Progressive Conservative candidate for Toronto-Broadview, said Thursday night if Canada fails to sell her wheat to Britain the results "will be disastrous both for the farmers and for our whole economy." Addressing a rally in the inter- ests of R. A. Robinson, party can- didate for Port Arthur, Mr. Hees said: "We can continue to be the largest supplier of wheat in the British market by sitting down with the British government in a spirit of co-operation and mutual under- standing, instead of by adopting the arrogant and take-it-or-leave-it 3ititude of the present govern- ment." Royal Oak History TORONTO (CP)--The Royal Oak Sea Cadet Corps of Stratford has won the national ship's name con- test, it was announced Thursday the vy League of Canada's national cyuncil.

Second place in the contest went to the John Travers Cornwall VC Corps of Winnipeg. No Clues In Crash LINDSAY (CP)-- Two persons were killed and three injured. Thursday night when two automo- biles collided almost Read-on on Highway 7, seven miles south of Lindsay. Dead are Newton Armstrong, 65, of RR 2, Pont 1, and Nellie Watson, 50, of Kirkland Lake. In hospital here are Garnet Arm- strong, 35, who police said was driver of the car in which his father was a passenger, who suf- fered severe facial cuts and shock: and his brother, Everett, with shock and minor injuries. In hospital at Peterborough, 26 miles east of here, is Fern Dorothy Gallinger, 55, of Ottawa, who is suffering from severe shock. The two women were in one car and the three men in the other. Provincial police have not been able to determine which woman was the driver or in what direction the cars were travelling.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, Augusi 7, 1968 9 More Evidence On Truck Which Death Bus Hit SMITHS FALLS (CP) -- Mervyn Burleigh, 24-year-old Smiths Falls transport driver, managed to avoid a pick-up truck hit moments later by a bus near Morrisburg, July 31, it was learned Thursday. The Colonial Coach Lines bus plunged into the Williamsburg canal after ramming the truck, killing 20 pas- sengers. Burleigh, who has been ques- tioned by Ontario provincial police investigating the accident, helped to pull bus driver Lorne Chese- brough of Kingston, and truck driver Max Roodman of Toronto up the canal bank. Burleigh is a driver for H. 8S. Edwards Transport Company. Ed- wards gave this account of the crash as told to him by Burleigh: Burleigh was forced to swing to the right to avoid missing a truck which was moving without lights in the centre of the Highway No, 2. Burleigh parked his tractor- trailer off the road. The smaller truck, apparently the one driven by Roodman, pro- ceeded slowly by Burleigh's parked transport, stopping at 15-foot in- tervals. Burleigh did not see the bus pass but heard the impact when it hit the truck about 500 yards away. The transport driver saw both vehicles plunge into the water. Menace Of Small Turn-out TORONTO (CP)--G. K. Sheils, general manager of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, said today the proportion of Canadians who vote in municipal, provincial and even federal elections is "so small as to constitute not only a shame and disgrace, but a real menace to national welfare." In a "get out and vote' address to. the Toronto Rotary Club -Mr. Sheils urged citizens to take at least the same interest in electing the Parliament or "board of direct- ors of Canada unlimited' as they would in electing the board of In their most recent provincial directors of a business. elections, he said, only 54 per cent of voters turned out in Manitoba; 59 per cent in Alberta; 64.6 per cent in Ontario. The record im municipal elections was worse. In a study of a representative group of cities across Canada, Mr. Sheils added, only Quebec polled more than 60 per cent of its voters in its last eivic election. Percent- ages for other cities included: Windsor, Ont. 57; Halifax and London, Ont., 46; Vancouver 43; Toronto 35; Montreal 32; Calgary 20; Edmonton 12.5. The 1949 federal elections had produced something better "but was still far from satisfactory." About 75 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballots, but some con- stituencies fell far below that fig- ure. Ordinary kerosene is one of the most effective controls of erab grass in lawns.
