From now on, there will be two: edi= tions of the Times-Gazette published every day from Monday to Friday, inclusive. One edition only will be published on Saturdays, when the newspaper goes to press at an earlier hour than on other days, The first edition is timed to be on sale in book- stores and available in boxes at the larger Oshawa factories at 12.45 p.m, It will also serve some of the outlying areas in the district, and will contain all the district and local news of the day up to the time of publication. It will therefore be known as the "District Edition." The second. or "Final Edition" will be timed for 3.30 p.m, distribution, and will contain the latest wire and city news up to the time of its going to press. 4 With this addition to its service to the public, The Times-Gazette will be the first afternoon news- paper on sale in Oshawa and district with the latest news of each day. By close timing. it will be right up to the minute in its néws content. The second edition will feature the last minute wire news as received from The Canadian Press, and will thus give a much more complete coverage than the early afternoon edi- tions of other newspapers distributed in Oshawa. News-dealers of Oshawa are enthusiastic over the inauguration of the two-edition policy of The Times-Gazette. This policy has been in operation for the past week on an experimental basis, and the trial runs having proved highly successful. it is now an nounced as a regular feature of The Times-Gazette service to the community. Plans are to have the first edition available to news-dealer's stores by 12,45 p.m., when it will also be placed in The Times-Gazette boxes at local factory gates for the conveniences of workers desiring to have.the latest news available. body."

IAGARA ICE JAM DAMAGE MOUNTS No Let-up Looms; Bridge In D NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. (CP)-- Ice floes poured into the Niagara river without letup today, glutting the long, winding river and crush- ing small houses and cottages along the way. Gigantic piles of ice, some as high as 35 feet, have demolished wooden buildings below the falls, caused flood walls to split into low- lying areas and now threaten the suspension bridge at Lewiston, N.Y. In its nine-mile stretch be- fore entering Lake Ontario the river is jammed with ice, riding like a mammoth cork on the ris- ing waters. eteran rivermen say it's the worst ice jam on the lower Niag- ara river in nearly 20 years. The area of destruction was centred in the final six-mile stretch of the river before it empties into the lake. The ice under the Lewiston bridge has piled to a height of about 55 feet, It was rising at the rate of 1% feet an hour. The bridge normally spans the river by 75 feet. If the main ice Jam above the bridge breaks loose first it could cause serious damage. BUILDING DAMAGED A dock and office building occu- pied by the Cayuga Steamship Company and customs and excise at Niagara-on-the-Lake was badly damaged by ice pressure Thurs- day. The Cayuga dock at Queen- ston was submerged by ice. Families were moved hurriedly from the three small houses on the river side. Two of .the houses were later wrecked. The third was se- verely damaged. A giant steam shovel was moved into the river and covered by the floes. High water threatened the On- tario hydro-electric power com- mission's Queenston plant. One of the five generators was shut off when it was feared that flood waters would cause 'a short circuit. However, the plant was in no im- mediate danger. . River residents described th anger 1938 and as bad as the mighty jam cf 1909, United States engineers have made unsuccessful attempts to clear the American falls of ice by blasting with dynamite, At Niag- ara-on-the-Lake, police chief Lou Warner blocked off the river front area Thursday night when ice be. gan crunching over the banks.

The whirlpool was piled deep with ice. Officials say nothing can be done to battle the jams and that they will have to break up under their own pressure. Although there was some reduction in the Hydro out- put, officials at plants in 'the ares do not regard it as serious.

OTTAWA (CP). -- External Af- fairs Minister Pearson 'says he fears United States defensive in- tervention in any battle for Chi- nese offshore islands might lead to world war--the last: war, But if any fight between the Chi- nese Nationalists and C ists for Quemoy and the Matus could be kept localized, Canada would not become involved, Mr. Pearson told the Commons Thursday. He said there had been some ri ding of his, stat ' in a recent Toronto speech that "we could not stand aloof from a major war which threatened the very existence of the people of the United States." That did not mean 'that when- ever the U.S, 'is engaged in any kind of 'war we are at.war." "It certainly does not mean that we must participate in limited or peripheral wars. . .," Canada would not consider any conflict between the Chinese gov- ernments over Nationalist - held Quemoy and the Matsus as involv- ing Canada or requiring this coun- try's intervention in support of the Nationalists. Mr. Pearson added, however: "What I fear. most in this matter is that even limited intervention, defensive in purpose,-by the United States might have a chain reac- tion with unforeseen consequences which would cause the conflict to spread far beyond the locality where it began, and even across the ocean. y "If a little 'war were to spread like this it would become literally a little war before the last." Mr. Pearson spoke for 75 min- utes in launching a foreign policy debate which was Joined by spokes- men for three opposition part- ies before being adjourned until some time next week. CCF CRITICAL OF U.S. CCF leader Coldwell was strongly critical of U.S. policy, which 'is, based on a decision to defend Quemoy and- the 'Matsus if a Communist attack on them ap- pears a prelude to invasion of For- mosa. He rediculed talk -of -Quemoy be- ing a potential jumping-off point for attack on Fermesa and said the government: 'and 'Commons should speak out against a "'drift to war" undeg U.S. policies: Mr. Coldwell 'said 'Chiang Kal- shek and his "bloodthirsty war- lords" should: be exiled from For- mosa and that Canada should back a move to- displace 'Nationalist China on the: United Nations with the representatives of "the effec- tive government" of China, COLDWELL CRITICIZED Social Credit leader Low accused Mr. Coldwell of making a speech hich "paralleled the Communist ine." Amid cries of *'shame" and 'withdraw' from . CCF Lenches, Mr. Low said the CCF leader had given comfort 'to the enemy." Mr. Coldwell replied: "Nonsense, nonsense." Present U.S. policy, said Mr. Low, will prevent rather than start a war. John Diefenbaker, Progressive the base of the falls, were in n high a ol wd iad y in . Pearson's speech to the Come mons. The realism shown at Tore onto seemed to have been dissic pated. ASKS GREATER. AID a Mr. Diefenbaker also demanded greater Canadian ®effort in pro- grams such as the Colombo plan to give economic aid and techni~ cal assistance to poverty-ridden countries. On this point Mr. Cold: well and Mr, Low were in agrees ment, The Conservative member said Canada's "pious declarations' are far from being matched by deeds. Mr. Pearson said he does not minimize the importance of eco- nomic aid to free Asian countries but that alone could not buy off communism and purchase peace. The West could help even more by co-operating with 'genuine leaders of the Asian peoples" in establishing strong and free demo- cratic governments, J He hinted at a slim hope for progress in seeret diplomatic moves for a Formosan cease-fire, SOME INDICATION There were indications on the Communist side 'of at least. a desire to avoid all-out war" al- though that desire might be in spired by fear of nuclear war. The major part of Mr, Pearson's speech dealt with the Far-East situation and Canadian-U.S. tions, and included an expression Conservative spokesman on foreign affairs, said there is general Cana- | dian support for Mr. Pearson's | stand in his Toronto speech that | Canada could not remain neutral in any major war threatening the | existece of the U.S. of doubt over the U.S. view that Quemoy and the Matus are impor tant to the defence of Formosa. He said the situation is so coms plex that it is not surprisi that differences of opinion exist the free world. k Although details of its per- | formance are still on the secret list, the Canadian army's latest anti-tank weapon, the 'Heller," can still boast about its super- ior qualities of accuracy and ( penetration.
