of a store that will never sell anything are Miss Charlotte Abbott (left) and Mrs. Reg ae, Owen. The shop is: being styl- ed on a general store of the last century and will be a showplace in the Henry House RE Museum Is Seeking General Store Items Housewives in the Oshawa area are being asked to hunt through their attics and base- ments for old bottles, jars, or other objects that might have been found in a general store during the last century. . The appeal for the old mer- chandise comes from members of the Oshawa and District His- toric Society who are helping to build a general store of that os in the Henry House eum. Objects can be loaned or giv- em to the museum for the store which will open to the public-- with nothing for sale -- next month. MAY BE PERMANENT It will stay open until Octo- ber when the museum closes for the winter months. If the project is thought to be a suc- cess the store may become a permanent part of the museum. Mrs. Reg. Owen, a member of the Hisooric Society is con- vener of the project, and she has so far gathered together an impressive display of old store goods. One of the first problems that faced Mrs, Owen was finding a suitable counter for the store. Then she and Miss Charlotte Abbott, curator of the museum, heard the old general store at Cadmus was going up for sale, The Cadmus stére had an ideal counter -- it was bought for $10 and dates back to 1880. ITEMS SOUGHT they have gathered from friends, old store owners, and interested people are candle moulds, a coffee grinder, glass candy jars, baskets, shelves, medicine bottles, shoes, and an old clock for the wall. More candy jars, od tins, posters, a pot bellied stove, small kegs, and a host of other objects are still badly needed. Mrs. Owen said: 'We would be very grateful to anyone who will help us fill the store. It will bé of great interest to the people of Oshawa and will help school children in their history lessons. "We are going to build beams over the counter much the same as they were in most general eae other stores of the last century." Among the Shell Explosion Hurts Soldiers CAMP PETAWAWA, Ont.

SKILLS NEEDED Their research showed that a major improvement would be to give the old man direct control at critical times. "Surely this is the very time for the captain to bring all his skills and ex- perience to bear in the most direct way possible," Mr. Lewis says. This basic change led to a complete redesigning of bridge and engine room. The new look has been approved by the navy for incorporation in future fight- ing ships. A future captain will sit at a master console to which all the necessary navigating and fight- ing data is funnelled. When the time comes for direct control, he will move a few steps to his driving seat opposite an instru- ment and communications panel like that in an aircraft. I place of a conventionel wheel, upright and. spoked, there will be two small, angled wheels in tandem -- one for The panel will probably include' a small television screen, con- ted with a rotating camera on the mast and showing what's alongside and ahead. REDUCE MANPOWER The next family of Canadian navy ships will also have an engine room unmanned except for regular maitenance checks and repairs. : Probably one deck above, sci- entists say, will be a nerve cen- tre that will control largely automated systems for propul- sion, power generation, damage control and _ decontamination.

High schools from Lindsay and Peterborough to Whitby and Co- bourg and the Lakefield Prepar- atory School and Trinity Col- lege School. Festival sponsors, the Port Hope High School Dramatic So- ciety, broke even with expenses in 1963 and hopes to do so again this year. A profit is not look- ecu said its secretary, Judy ill. The festival is only part of the dramatic society's active pro- gram each year. With the as- jsistance of history teacher Mal- colm Wilson, interest in the so- ciety was stimulated three years ago and the group has not look- ed back since, Several hundred tickets and 'ams must be made up for the festival and accommodation arranged for feeding several hundred hungry students at the school cafeteria. More than 100 sat down to dinner after Friday afternoon's performances. Members of the dramatic so- ciety executive this year are: president, Lynn Cameron; vice- president, Thomas Fowler; sec- retary, Christine McMahon; treasurer, Susan Bird; and "fes- tival secretary, Judy Demill. Two or three men would mon- itor control panels and keep track of the ship's performance. Both the researchers and the navy believe there will be sub- stantial savings through in- creased efficiency. Fewer men will be needed and there will be fewer costly accidents. Jack Wiggin, chief super- ayer of the Downsview cen- tre, says scientists Lewis and Churchill have produced the most advanced design ever in ship control and engine-room management. Mr. Lewis, meanwhile, is go- ing to Washington to speak with United States Navy officials. "We've taken some big strides out in front and they're inter- ST.

Ralph Malcolm of the assess- iment branch of the department of municipal affairs said he did not think this would be the case.

JOINS TOURISTS WASHINGTON (AP) -- johnson interrupted ans in Halifax plan a protest|ists provincial government. The de- lawn. By HAROLD MORRISON WASHINGTON (CP) -- Presi- dent Johnson has ushered in a new national wheat program which authorities say will tend to reduce the heavy United States surplus without rocking world wheat prices. To that extent, they add, Ca- nadian growers and exporters who traditionally com- pete against the south for world wheat markets may find the program somewhat beneficial. The over-all U.S. wheat sur- plus, at a high of 1,400,000,000 Cie in 1961, is expected to drop to about 300,000,000 bush- els by miid-1965, following a de- cline of about 100,000,000 bushels in the new crop year starting next July. U.S. wheat reproduc- tion averages about 1,200,000,000 bushels a year. French T PARIS (AP)--France, with a touch of pride, proclaims itself the champion aid-giving nation of the world and some taxpay- ers are protesting. A new word -- Cartierism-- sums up the protests. The word came from a series of articles by Raymond L. Car- tier, editor of the magazine Paris-Match. Cartier contends France could better spend its largesse at home where there is an urgent shortage of hous- ing, highways, classrooms and teachers, along with underde- velopment of the telephone sys- tem and inland waterways. - One of the arguments is that "At the moment when France seems to want to increase still more its excessive aid to the un- derdeveloped countries, Amer- ica is retiring from the game. The United States had made this the base of its whole for- eign policy." To African nations receiving French aid, Cartierism has al- most become a dirty word. treatment to 15 per at a time, a medical team from Seattle reported Sunday. It promises to cut the cost of treat- ment sharply--from the present $10,000 a year for each patient wo perhaps $6,000 or $7,000. Ma- chines now in use can treat only one person at « time. Leopold Senghor, president of Senegal, says he fears a trend to shift the centre. of aid from Africa to Asia and Latin Amer- (ca. ap France does not spend" as much on -foreign aid as the United States, but it claims it uses a bigger percentage of the Aid Costs Irking axpayer Gross National Product -- the value. of yearly goods and ser- vices produced. SHOWS FIGURES According to the Organiaztion for Economic Co-operation and Development, France in 1961 devoted 1.78 per cent of its GNP to foreign aid. .Compara- tive figures for other members of the committee were: Portu- gal, 1.35 per cent; Belgium, .92; Germany, .88; United States, .72; Great Britain, .66; Holland, .62; Japan, .53; Italy, .21 and Canada, .19. Percentages for later years are roughly the same. In actual contributions, the United States gave $3,410,000,000 in 1961, and France $943,000,- 000 Cartier claims .that France really used almost three per cent of its GNP. He cites hid- den charges and the method of calculating the GNP. A number of French political figures made protests before Cartier. All this is not likely to make much difference. Presi- dent de Gaulle makes up his own mind about such things, and he has the votes in Parlia- ment. Still, the government is stung by the attacks. Premier Georges Pompidou has prom- ised a report to answer some of The new program is complex and includes minimum price supports, certificates that can be converted into cash and fed eral payments: for diverting|P@ land from wheat production. WILL AVERAGE $2 Farmers still will get an av- erage of $2 a bushel for wheat sold for domestic consumption but on wheat sold for export, total production payments will drop to about $1.55 a bushel from the $2 received last year. This support on exported wheat will be more in line with world prices and will reduce heavy U.S. ,export subsidies. U.S. export subsidies on flour --which Trade Minister Mitchell Johnson Planning To Trim U.S. Wheat Stocks Sharp has criticized as exces- sive and as handicapping Cana- dian flour exports--will be con tinued if American millers find their domestic wheat costs re- main above world prices. In any case, the government. has power to control exports so that large quantities of U.S. wheat are not dumped on for- eign markets to wreck world price stability developed under the International Wheat Agree- ment.
