Some years ago the Fund raised hundreds of dollars, and many a Whitby family has reason to re- member the happiness brought to their homes at Yuletide when through no fault of their homes, cupboards were more or less bare.

GAVE MISSIONARY ADDRESS On Thursday last the Rev. T. Daulby, missionary from Pond In- let in the Diocese of the Arctic, gave an interesting and inspiring address in St. John's Church. The missionary service was conducted by the Rector. Mr. Daulby took as his theme, "How do the Eskimo troy | respond to the Gospel?" BATTERY STOLEN Officers of the Whitby Police | Department are investigating theft of a battery from a parked car in Whitby early Sunday morn- ing. At 11 a.m., Gordon McGregor, 1115 Dundas Street E., tried to start his 1953 model car and found that it would not start. In- vestigation revealed that the bat- tery was missing. Sgt. William Dia- mond was called to the scene and found that the battery had been taken and an attempt had been made to remove the generator. In-' vestigation is proceeding.

' Mungo Martin, 8a member of the Kwakiutl tribe and one of the few totem pole carvers left in B.C. has all but finished a reproduction of a tribal home at Thunderbird Park here. A modern machine was employed to hoist into place in front of the house an imposing, 38-foot totem pole, carved with the assistance of his son, David. |T0 HOLD POTLACH Martin, in the tradition of his tribe, climbed to the roof and an- nounced a potlach and house- warming for white guests to be held soon. More than 200 Indians from many parts of the province will | Sather at the potlach to pow-row, | dance and watch what anthropolo- | gists have described as the weird. est tricks in the world.

OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada has agreed, reluctantly, to cut oats ex- posts to the United States by about alf next year. The decision, announced Monday in the Commons by Trade Minis- ter Howe, will limit shipments of Canadian oats to the U.S. to 23 000,000 bushels between Dec. 11, 1953, and Oct. 1, 1954. In the cor- responding 1952-53 period, Canada exported about 50,000,000 bushels. Mr. Howe said the government had been forced to make this de- cision '"'as the lesser of evils." It followed a recommendation to President Eisenhower by the U.S tariff commission that because of | domestic surpluses and U.S. price- | support programs, imports should be restricted. Mr. Howe tabled an exchangeeof notes between the two countries and noted that the matter had been discussed at a preliminary meet- ing here Dec. 4 of the newly- formed Canada-U.S. joint economic and trade committee. | U.S. SUGGESTION The U.S. suggested the 28,000,000 bushel limitation and noted that Canada supplies nearly all U.S. oats imports. Canada agreed to the quota, though it "attaches the greatest importance to the extension of mu- tually profitable trade between our two countries and to avoidance of restrictions which would interfere with such trade." The Canadian note added: 'The Canadian government. wishes to make clear that it will reconsider the decision . . . in the event that substantial quantities of oats are imported into the U.S. from other countries during the period in ques- tion." Mr. Howe said "it 1s not a limita- tion which should cause significant REG BRYANT ELECTRIC Wiring & Repairs 213 BYRON ST. SOUTH TELEPHONE 628 Unwillingly. Canada Cuts Oats Exports concern to the producers of oats | during the short period it is in| effect. Oats are not in over-abun- dant supply in Canada." Canada reaped a 466,000,000 | bushel oat crop in 1952, of which | about 373,000,000 bushels were used ! in Canada. This year the crop was 405,500,000 bushels. Mr. Justice Smiley has been ask- ed to settle a disagreement be- tween two Pickering Township brothers over an estate left by their parents. Frederick Beelby, of Claremont, brought an action to establish an oral agreement he claims to have been made be- tween his late parents and him- self. His parents had died without a will. Ernest Beelby, his brother, was the defendant. Lu bourg and Lavinter were counsel for Frederick Beelby and R. D. Hum- hreys, QC, appeared for the de- endant. During the hearing, it was re- | vealed that the two brothers were Dispute Between Brothers Settled In Supreme Court the sole heirs of their parents. The plaintiff's wife had looked after the plaintiff's invalid mother for 15 years on the farm where the plaintiff had * helped his father make his living. The father had bought a farm for Ernest Beelby 30 years ago, a farm on which he now lives. The action was dismissed with the plaintiff ordered to pay costs of $750 to the defendant. After all debts are settled, the farm is to be sold and the balance is to be divided between the two brothers. Ernest Beelby was ordered to pay his brother, the plaintiff, $1,500 as his share of the care for his de- ceased mother. A number of five-room bunga | lows, consisting of five rooms with bath, will, it is said, be erected on the Mason subdivision, formerly | part of the W. A. Broughton farm, |in the east part of the town. According to the assessment rol], the property is assessed to Harold T. Fishleigh, real estate broker, in Toronto, but it is an English firm, whose names has not yet been disclosed, that will erect the houses. Some time ago a representa- tive of the firm submitted plans of one of the houses to Building In- spector Frank Threadgold, who sug- §osted that some changes be made. his man has not yet returned nor has any building permit been f{s- sued but at the present time ma- terials for the houses are being lod- ed on the property and it is pre- sumed that they pass the building inspector plans will proceed for their erection. The building project is said to be | in the nature of an experiment | which has worked well in several | other places. It is presumed that ' Housing Project Planned In Mason Subdivision in E. End that they will be for sale and that a campaign to place them on the market will be be launched as soon as building starts. The houses will all be one storey, with fair sized rooms and will have a front porch. Some call them pre- fabricated and others semi-finish. Not until the plan is finally ap- proved will the full details of the' project be known. The Public Utility Commission last year extended the water serv- ice to the sub-division for which Mr. Mason, the owner at that time, paid. There is no sewer service, owever, and it is presumed that septic tanks will be used subject to the approval of the medical health officer and the Board of Health. There have been persistent rumors for over a year of a housing dev- elopment on that property. It is learned that materials for 15 houses are being unloaded now but that more houses are contem- plated, opening up a new residen- tial district in the town. It is a very ideal location for such a dev- elopment. Seven Confirmed At Bay Church The Rt. Rev. F. H. Wilkinson, Bishop Coadjutor of Toronto, eom- ducted a confirmation service in St. John's Church at the Bay, on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. The rector, the Rev. A. E. Kemp, pre- sented the seven candidates. The bishop, in a short address, stressed the importance of being loyal to God, the local church and the rector. "Christianity," he said, | "'was weakened in its influence by | t inconsistent living of Chris- | tians. Our motto shounld always | be, "For me to live is Christ." | The Bishop and Mrs. Wilkinson | were entertained for the afternoon | tea at the rectory. Miss Gwen Fawcett and Mrs. L. Sargant were also guests of the rector and Mrs. Kemp. Lauds Record Public Service Eapressing regret that J. H. Ormiston would not be a member of Public Utility Commission next year, Chairman James Ross at the | Commission's final meeting, refer- | red to the public service Mr. Ormi- | ston had rendered during a long period of years in town. He said: 'Mr. Ormiston has served for two years on this Commission and has | been closely identified for many ' years with the civic life of Whitby. He has served as councillor, dep- uty - reeve and chairman of the Library Board, and has also been | closely identified with such organ- | izations as the Whitby Christmas Cheer and Welfare Fund and the Whitby War Relief Fund, and Chamber of Commerce. "I feel sure that his retirement at this time from the civic life of Whitby will be regretted by many citizens and I trust that he will return be- fore long. Replying, the retiring commis- sioner said that he had enjoyed his association with the Commission, the two years of service revealing to him a lot he did not previously know about its operation and serv- ice to the public. He added that all the time he had been in Whitby his aim has been to be an active ' participant in the life of the com- munity, and he hoped that his ser- vices has been of some value fo the citizens. ; pg ------ W.
