Tuesday seemed to be Barilka Day at the Timmins police court, the greatâ€" er part of the time of the court beins taken up with the hearings on cases in which Nick Barilka and his father, Steve Barilka, were concerned, and where relatives of the Barilkas figured as some of the witnesses. In brief the outcome of the cases was as follows:â€" Nick Barilka was committed for trial by a higher court on four charges, two of assault with bodily harm, one of common assault, and one of resisting arrest. Before the court adjourned still another charge of assault was read against him. This charge was for an assault that is said to have occurred after the other cases had been entered against him. He asked for a remand in this case, and the magistrate grantâ€" ing the remand told him it would be peremptory for next Tuesday. Steve Barilka, father of Nick, was fined $100 and costs or three months for obstructâ€" ing the police in the execution of their duty, A similar penalty was imposed on Alex Petrula, a relative of the Barilkas, on a similar charge. After court Steve Barilka went to the cells but later on his fine was paid with the costs and he was released. Nick Barilka is out on bail to await trial, or trials. He is under $2,060 property bail put up by two bondsmen. Other Cases at Police Court on Tuesday Commut N. Barilka For Trial on Four Sseparate Charges TT pPORrCUPINE ADVANCT, THiMNNS, ONTARTO fracas. One said that Steve had called out in Russian to Nick to get in the police car. The other heard this too but said it was in Ukrainian. A mar also was forward to say that Steve said it in both Russian and English. Steve Barilka, in his own defence, told a long story of how he tried to keep the peace. Pretula, a member of the army known as Zombies claimed that he had no part in interfering with the police. Instead he claimed that the police had been swinging their billies pretty freely and that Sergt. Thompâ€" son had used his billy on him without saying a word. Sergeant Thompson in reply said he did not even carry a billy, had not carried one for five years, and that in any case he would not use it or need to use it on the aceused. He had made the arrest without any trouble, simply putting his arm around the neck of the accused and lifting him off his feet. He could be handled very easily that way. Constable Munro‘s evidence told of going to the scene of the fracas and seeing the trouble in part. He had placed Nick in the police car and taken him to the station, including Steve, In the matter of resisting arrest and the obstructing of the police, Constable Christensen gave evidence of being givâ€" en a warrant for the arrest of Nick Barilka and being instructed by Sergt. Thompson to serve the same. He and Constable Lafieur were patrolling in the police car when they saw Nick and his father walking near the corner of Third and Cedar street. Constable Christenâ€" sen got out of the car and approachâ€" ing Nick told him to come over to the police office. Nick said he wouldn‘t or words to that effect. The father said to leave the boy alone and he would take him home and call at the station and put up bail." The constable replied that he had a warrant for Nick‘s arâ€" rest and he would have to go to the station. By this time he had Nick by the arm and was attempting to steer him towards the police car. Then Steve started pulling at his arm until ne had to let go. A mixâ€"up then ocâ€" curred Constable Christensen eventuâ€" ally having to use his billy on Nick when the latter kicked him in the groin The others in the battle tried to wrench the billy away from him.° To Mr. Langdon the officer said that a doctor had been called later in the night for Nick and that a wound in his head had to be stitched. Constable Lafieur corroborated the ecvidence of Constable Christensen. The young fellâ€" ows, who admitted to Crown Attorney Caldbick that they were nephews of Steve Barilka, told about seeing the Nick Barilka was charged with asâ€" sault with bodily harm to Miss Marie Bokoloskie, Mrs. Bonnah and Patrick Cushing, The evidence was largely the same in each case, Nick was in the hall before the kitchen of one of the hotels arguing with the manager who was seeking to get the young fellow to ygo home. Later, after the manager had moved away, Nick‘s attention was called to the sign, "Employvees Only," when he wanted to enter the kitchen. ;He slapped the waitress, Mrs. Bonnah, and when her sister, Miss Sokolosit!, tried to‘pull him back when it appearâ€" ed he was about to strike a second blow, Nick hit her with his fist, ‘she said. Patrick Cushing, a young fellow, brother of the two young ladies, saw this, and . calling, "You can‘t do that to my sister," he jumped into the fracas. He was also hit byâ€" Nick, he said. Both Patrick Cushing and Miss sokoloski went to a doctor, and> Dr. Minthorn told of the injuries he found they had suffered. Patrick suffered a black eye and a broken tooth. Miss Sokoloski had a small welt on the side of her face and a bump on the bzwk| of her head. Magistrate Atkinson felt thatâ€" Mrs. ~Bonnazsh ~had not been seriously enough injured to have susâ€" tained "bodily harm," and this charge was reduced to common assault, W, O. Langdon wasâ€" counselâ€" for the defence and questioned the witnesses, Each of them agreed that the accused seemed | under the influence of liquor at the time. Michael Demers, charged with drunk driving, was given thirty days, it beâ€" ing a second conviction, He was deâ€" fended by W. Shub. Dr. Giardine gave evidence to the effect that he did not consider him drunk when he was callâ€" ed to the station to examine him. Crown Attorney Caldbick pointed out that the doctor had not called until over an hour after the man‘s arrest and he had time in the meantime to sober up, and the police officers were quite positive ‘that he was drunk. He had been running his ¢ar in erratic fashion and attracted the police attenâ€" tion by this. The accused‘s excus> for running from side to side of the road was that he saw some kind of an anâ€" imal in front of â€"the car and was tryâ€" ing to avoid hitting it. He claimed to have had only two bottles of beer all day. ‘"‘That‘s the usual amount in thes> cases," said the magistrate. As a second offence drunk F. J. Farâ€" rell was fined $50 or thirty days and on a charge of indecent exposure there was an added fine of $10 or thirty days more. He left to. serve the sixty days. Another lad on a simple charge took the ten days in preferâ€" ence to a fine of $10. A minor for consuming beer in a beverage room paid $10 and costs. Arnold Centner pleaded guilty to two charges of breach of the liquor laws. After a visit to his residence and his office in the . Bucovetsky store, the police had seized two part bottles of Quebec liquor and seven bottles : of liquor not purchased on his permit. For illegal possession ofâ€" the Quebe: liquor he was fined $100 and costs, and for the seven bottles not purchased on his permit he was fined $200 and costs. All the liquorâ€"concerned was: confisâ€" cated. Careless driving cost another man $25 and costs. Mr. Langdon argued that Steve had been afraid that his son might be hurt. (At one place in his evidence Steve had said he had wanted the police to send for a doctor because he was afraid Nick might be dead.) Dceâ€" "ence in the cases against Nick was reâ€" served to the trial before the judge. Magistrate Atkinson pointed out that the officers had a perfect right to make the arrest and no one had a right to obstruct them. He did not believe that the police had used their billies unâ€" necessity or too harshly. The evidence made it clear that both Steve and Petula had obstructed the police, and he imposed the fines as noted. The charge against Peter Roznak was withâ€" drawn, the Crown Attorney feeling that the evidence did not show that he had interfered in the arrest. Both the Crown Attorney and the Magâ€" istrate commented on the unreasonable stories given by some of the witness»s, Crown Attorney Caldbick pointed out that the cases were of greatest importâ€" ance. It was the duty of every good citizen to support the law. "It is a moral, as well as a legal crime," he said, "for a good citizen to fail to upâ€" hold law and order. We must suport and protect the police in doing their duty." Irvin Rosner, R. 0.

For the defence, J. W. Lisberman pointed out that none of the counts were very serious, and were more due to lack of understanding of the reguâ€" FOREIGN TRADE A year ago I laid great emphasis on Canada‘sinternational trade. Canada toâ€"day is not exporting in the ordinary eense of the term. Much is being sent to armed forces in every theatre of war, but we are not trading. As producers of primary products from our farms, Jorests and mines, we know that we are dependent ubon and will continue to be dependent upon the markets of the world for the consumption of such goods upon which much of our prosperity rests. Our proâ€" ductive c::facity has been increased far beyond the present needs of our own people, and in any plans for postâ€" war reconstruction we must bear in mind that for full consumption of many of our products we must bave aceess to world markets and that we must develop such markets. When our future manufacturing K‘)licy is considered cognizance must : taken of the fact that these ontside taxes and individual taxes have played an important role. While no time limit is suggested for repeal or revision, having regard for the possible need for inflation control during the early stages of transition, it is clear that obstacles discouraging to investment in productive enterâ€" prise materially hamper the business expansion which has been mentioned and, of course, adversely affect maximum employment. 1t is trite perbhaps to point out that almost all economic discussion coverâ€" ing the future begins with a statement concerning the need for high levels of production and employment. This objective in effect suggests a counter» partâ€"a â€" relatively ii her â€" overall standard of living.. The one cannot be achieved without the other. In keeping with the policy of control against inflation, excess profits â€"be underestimated. Reconversion vull not be automatic nor can it be viewed as simply a change of heart, The tasks ahead will neither be simple nor easy and this fact should conâ€" dition us to a willingness to coâ€" operate according each to his ability, Consequently policies being formuâ€" lated: for postavas economic activity are bound to have a marked influence for some time to come and therefore become a matter of present concern, The tasks of recasting the proâ€" ductive machinery cannotâ€"must not Of a somewhat similar character are the loans which may be made by any bank under the Farm Improveâ€" ment Loans Act, the purpose of which is to ensure intermediate and shortâ€"term credit being more readily available to farmers for the purchase of implements and equipment as well as the construction and improveâ€" ment of buildings, fences and drainage wortks. POSTâ€"WAR RECONSTRUCTION Movements of population during the past few years necessitated by the exigencies of war production have brought into sharp relief the housing problems of this country. The Government has already taken steps to alleviate as far as possible the shortage in some districts; but a wider programme is contemplated according to the wording of the National Housing Act. In addition to this decennial reâ€" vision certain important ancillary legislation was also enacted. ‘The Industrial Development Bank was established as a subsidiary to the Bank of Canada with the object of assisting new as well as existing enterprises, particularly those of small or moderate size <to obtain intermediate and longâ€"term eredit. Attention is now being directed to the reconversion of our productive machine from war to peace, but it is necossary to plan carefully, yet with imagiration, to avoid the disâ€" location to the: nationai life which might result from too precipitate acton: task, or series of tasks, will not be achieved, without=conâ€" siderable care and foresight on the. {mrt both of Government and of musiness, and by effective eoâ€"operaâ€" tion on the part of all our citizens, RECENT FEDERAL LEGISLATION As you know, the Bank Act came before Parliament this year for decennial revision:. Preliminary to its discussion in the House of ‘Comâ€" mons the Banking and Commerce Committee of the House thoroughly reviewed the Act as it stood and gave full consideration to various amendâ€" ments which woere suggested. Many of these were I)roposod by the Governâ€" ment with the purpose of enabling the banks to serve more efficiently the credit needs of the public and of broadening the Ifhes upon which the banks may assist the trade and inâ€" dustry of the Dominion, both during the period of transition from war to peace and afterwards, FARM ITM PR(})\\EM ENT LOANS 'l‘ At the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of The Canadian Banok of Commerce, held in the Head Office of the Bank in the City of Toronto December 12th Mr. 8. H. Logan, President, and Mr., 8. M. Wedd, General Manâ€" ager, presented the Annual Stateâ€" mepnt of the Bank‘s operations in the past year, together with a review of Business Conditions. Mr. Logan‘s address to the meetâ€" ing follows: CANADA‘S ECONOMIC POSITION S. H. Logan, President, and S. M. Wedd, General Manager, The Canadian Bank of Commerce, Show Requirements for Prosperity NATIONAL HOUSING ACT Banking Service Improved by New Bank Act _ The crop outturns, close to the record bharvest of 1942, were not altogether the result of a favourable growing season,. They also represent, as does the high output of live stock products, a most strenuous effort o# the part of the farmers of this country. How strenuous this effort was can ze judged by the fact that a total agriâ€" cultural production abeut oneâ€"third above the preâ€"war average was achieved with an agricultural working population at least 25 per cent, below average. The Bank has been fully employed in every }"’“’“’ of this great annual output of goods and services and at the present time, as our figures will indicate, is in an excellent position to coâ€"operate in serving the futurg eredit needs of the Dominion 000. The amount for industrial projects, about $50,000,000, is almeost half as large again as in 1943. There was an overâ€"all increase in industrial activity of about 7 per cent., of 10 per cent. in domestic trade and of about 40,000 people in civilian occupations. One of the most sgignificant acoâ€" nomic developments this year is the physical expansion and improvement of the merchandising and industrial equipment of Canada, New warehouses, factories, stores, etc., as well as extensions and altera» tions to existing establishments, under= taken during the past tweive months invalve expenditures of over $75,000,« Pvery effort is being made to expand the service of the Bank, particularly to small borrowers, and actively to offer the Bank‘s loaning facilities to every creditâ€"worthy citizen. The more experienced. members continue to bear the responsihlity of instructing the large. proportion of the staff who had had httle or no previous training. Women employees now constitute 57 per cent. of the total, as compared with 21 per cent. in 1939. Members of the staff numâ€" bering 1,679 have joined the armed forces, of whom 178 have been casuâ€" alties: The Bank is proud of its personnel in the service and look»s forward to welcoming them back in the not distant future. is Such a fortunate condition of our national life cannot be brought about by Government paternalism or by CGovernment action alone. For its realizration there must be not on‘ly Soresight and thoughtful consideration by all of us but understanding and toleration between our rural and our urban people, and harmonious coâ€" operation â€" between employers and employees. The assets of the Bank reached ‘a new record at $1,178,647,000 at the close of its fiscal year on 31st October, an increase of $175,463,000 over the previous ~year. Quick assets at $003,780,000, of which $191,598,000 was in cash reserves, were 80.2 per cent of the Bank‘s liabilitiecs to the public. Holdings of shortâ€"term securâ€" ities include $254,385,000 of Cerâ€" tificates of Deposit issued by the Dominion Government to cover war expenditures pending tax and Joan receipts. Longerâ€"term Government securities totailled $226,323,000, an increase of $78,850,000. _ Current loans in Canada declined $13,706,000, reflecting a reduction in borrowers‘ inventories. Deposits by the public continued to rise to a total of $1,029,â€" 000,000. The number of deposit accounts rose to 1,219,000, 97 per (-mlxt of which were held by individâ€" uals, The results will not be achieved by following the theories of_ radical reformers or by the formation of multiplicity of political parties from which can emerge only national and economic weakness or impotenceâ€" a fact which has been demonstrated very plainly in other countries. There must be a unity of purpose between the people of all parts of Canadayunâ€" marred by emotional or other preâ€" judices if we are to attain the ulâ€" timate ideal of a free, happy, conâ€" tented and prosperous people. While we in Canada can produce in our own country many of our necessities and luxuries and while tradoe within our own borders will always be an important factor in our nationgal cconomy, international trade has been and must be a part of our ceonomic fabric if there is to be achieved full employment, worthy standards of living, and the prospect of a comfertable old age which all of us would so greatly Jlike to see. On the other hand, in addition to pbrimary products it must be remomâ€" bered that this country has this war developed a technical skill for the making of many kinds of chemicats, mannufactured articles, utilities and appliances heretofore undreamed of, and in the last analysis that must have its effect in a most substantial way upon what Canada can produce and export in the fuiure. War tends to make countries more selfâ€"sustaining, which means, in effect, that they are foreed of necessity to depend more and more upon themâ€" selves. This makes it all the more difficult for Canada to expand her foreign trade, markets cannot be negleeted at the start and picked up afterwards. Our markets abroad must be cultivated from the outset if they are to be developed in the future, There were a number of adjourn«= ments, including the remand of three young girls of around seventeen, and one of them looking younger even than that. They were charged with va=â€" grancy and the Crown asked for the remand in order to have time to se«â€" ecure some evidence that was desired. BUSINES® CONDITIONS GENERAL MANAGER‘S ADDRESS PACKE
