For Canada alone, tariff changes wrought by the Ken-| nedy Round negotiations affect exports worth $3,000,000,000 last year and imports worth §$2,500,- 000,000. The 47 members of the Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade have altered the terms of $45,500,000,000 in annual trade, fourth-fifths of the world total.

A report of the celebrations, which appeared in the July 3 edition of the weekly Oshawa Vindicator, follows:) The first morning of the New Dominion was ushered in Osh- awa with the ringing of bells and the firing of cannon, in- cluding a salute from the guns of the juvenile battery. The chief occupation of all seemed to be make prepara- tion to leave town. The greater portion of the population went to Whitby, others to Toronto and a few eastward, The after- noon here was one of unusual quietness. The numerous flags flying from flagstaffs and pri- vate houses were the only mark of the day. Every store was closed and every workshop silent, and Osh- \, S awa was literally the deserted village. The few people that had not left in the morning wended their way to Cedar Dale to a private picnic where the. afternoon was heartily en- joyed. In the evening the On- tario bank and other buildings were illuminated. The people of Oshawa having agreed to give way to Whitby and join in the celébrations there, strictly kept their faith. WHITBY ACTIVITIES At Whitby the day was hon- ored in a manner befitting its importance, Between 11 and 12 the Volunteers arrived from different parts of the country. The 34th mustered in good numbers.* The companies pres- ent were, number one and four from Whitby, two and three from Oshawa and the compan- ies from Greenwood, Columbus, Brooklin, and Uxbridge. The Cannington and Prince Albert companies remained at home. Major Buttons' troop of caval- ry were also present. The fine horses and soldierly bearing of the men added much to the occasion. After a lunch, the Volunteers, under the command of Lt.-Col. Fairbanks, marched to a large field north of Mr. Perry's resi- dence. After the reading of the proclamation by the mayor, the troops fired a feu de joie. They were put through sev- eral moyements and evolutions of a field day. The officers and men deserve great credit for the manner in which these movements were performed The horses of Major Buttons' cavalry faced the fire from the squares remarkably well, some of them rushing so close- ly upon the bayonets as to re- ceive severe thrusts. Dinner as well as Junch was furnished to the Volunteers by the Corpora- tion of Whitby in the hall of the Merchants' Institute. The justice done it showed that they retained their Camp Thorold appetites as well as their Thor- old drill. 7,000 PRESENT It was supposed that 7,000 persons were present on the field and witnessed the move- ments of the Volunteers. Many during the afternoon went home but a large number remained and witnessed the games on the agricultural grounds and the fireworks at night. The display of these was good and did credit to the liberality -of the town. The music throughout the day was furnished by the Batallion Band under the leadership of - Mr. William Andrew. The Whitby band played during the afternoon about the hotel doors but owing to some imagined slight, refused its services else- where, ' Several persons seemed in quite good condition and sev-| eral were walking. WORE LIFE PRESERVERS He said many of the survivors were wearing life jackets, indi- cating that they were aware of trouble before the crash. A government inforn.a- tion service spokesman said the aircraft, Flight 601 from Tokyo, Was making an_ instrument landing approach when. it! plunged into the harbor 300 yards from. the end of the run- way. Within minutes of the crash, rescuers in_ helicopters © and boats raced to aid survivors. Divers also were called out to |help.
