progress changes in the growth of the community.Competent handling of his work caused Mr.Johnsdn's promotion to a railway mail clerkship between Montreal and Toronto.A position of even broader interest came his way in 1936, when he became an Ocean Mail officer, whose duty it was to look after the British and foreign mail despatches at the ports of Montreal, St.John and Halifax, throughout the war.Mr.Johnson is retiring this month on a pension amid the congratulations and best wishes of his friends and associates.TOW-TRUCK RUNS INTO AUTOMOBILE A tow-truck, unable to stop on the slippery

for a Happy and Prosperous New Year Queens School Closes For Holidays With Appropriate Yule Ceremonies Closing ceremonies of Queens School were held amid a gay Holiday spirit, windows decorated with artificial wreaths, and blackboard drawings and Christmas trees added to the happy atmosphere.On Friday morning the kindergarten pupils with those of Grades 1 and 2 presented a varied concert of recitations, songs, carols with the Rhythm Band providing selections.On Friday afternoon, a fine programme was given by pupils of Gradeg 3 to 6 and at this assembly recitations and carols, aided by selections from the choir which presented Christmas melodies in appropriate manner, were the highlight.Principal R.N.Bagnell gave ax brief address to visitors and pupils and offered all present the customary season's greetings.The pu- .pils of Queens School have been | particularly active in Red Cross work throughout the year and currently many Red Cross calendars l{ have been sold and contributions of money, toys, games and Christmas favours sent to the Junior Red Cross.One class filled many Christmas stockings suitably at a donation to one of the hospitals.Quantities of tinned foods, vegetables and fruits were collected and sent to bring cheer to several families for Christmas.Principal Bagnell extends his gratitude to pupils and members of his staff who so generously assisted and contributed in any way to the success of all Christmas activities at Queens School.Library Books Queens School Library has increased its total of excellent books by 160.All pupils have, during this Fall, attended Westmount Public Library and pupils of Grade 6 have been doing elementary research work in geography under the able instruction and guidance of Miss G.McEwan.Where books of reference and atlases are required the help has been invaluable.Further visits to the Westmount Public Library are planned for the future.Educational Films Pupils of Queens have seen upwards of 60 educational and recreational films this season and have much benefited thereby.These have been found to be more than ordinarily instructive and are a feature much anticipated by the scholars.Class hockey teams are being organized for the season and an excellent ice rink is again provided by the City of Westmount in the School grounds, which gives added interest to hockey.Basketball practice is held regu- snow.larly in view of the season opening in the New Year.Principal R.N.Bagnell and Staff offer their gratitude and appreciation to Miss J.Low, Miss V.Jamieson and Mrs.C.Forrest for assistance with the music at the Christmas festivities.CQUPLE INJURED IN COLLISION A taxi and a private car owned by John Black of 4328 Sherbrooke St.W.,.Westmount, collided on Greene Avenue, Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m.when the taxi turned north on Greene from St.Catherine St.Henry Kurtzman, driver of the taxi, was uñinjured, but his two passengers, Mr.and Mrs.S.W.Baker of 221 Clarke Ave, Westmount, both suffered injuries and were taken to the Western Hospital.Mr.Baker had three stitches taken for a cut over his right eye while Mrs.Baker suffered a fractured right collar bone.The taxi

street, G.E.Hall, 458 Mount Stephen Avenue, fell unconscious to the sidewalk near Vendome Avenue and Sherbrooke Street West, and was revived by a doctor who arrived with an ambulance on summons from other persons.Mr.Hall came to to find his necktie loosened and claimed the loss of a valuable tie-pin, gold with a cluster of diamonds, which may possibly have been lost in the + In a general statement on the trol, made on December 19th, the a number of steps which have been 1947, were the following: of banks to sell U.S.funds for travel purposes, without reference to the Foreign Exchange Control Board.Simplification of some Foreign Exchange regulations and adaptations of others to the new developments in sterling exchange, in order to maintain control over capital movements.Main Change Mr.Abbott pointed out that the main change in the regulations was that made as the result of an agreement between the Canadian and British financial traders will be authorized to make exports against payment in sterling to a number of countries from which they had hitherto been required to obtain payment on a U.S.dollar basis.Payment is, however, not to be restricted to sterling under the new arrangement, it being optional for transactions to be completed in U.S.dollars, if preferred.Canadian importers will also be authorized to make payment in sterling to these countries if they find it more convenient than making payment in U.S.dollars.In addition to all countries within the British Commonwealth, the following come within this new arrangement: tina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Faroe Islands, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Iceland, Iraq, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Philippine Islands, Salvador, Trans- jordan, United States and territories, Venezuela.Other countries will be added to this list as the necessary arrangements are completed with them by the United Kingdom, and covering public notices will be issued.by the Foreign Exchange Control Board from time to time.Important Step The Minister stated that the new arrangements represent an important step towards carrying out the agreement made by the United Kingdom to make the sterling earnings of foreign countries convertible by July 15th, 1947.While there would be no immediate improvement in Canada's overall foreign exchange position Canadian exporters and importera could do business more conveniently.The interchangeability of Canada\u2019s sterling receipts for a number of other foreign currencies, including U.S.dollars, would, however, make it necessary for the Foreign Exchange Control Board to exercise a greater degree of control over sterling transactions.New Trade Mr.Abhott also announced that several of the countries which had received export credits from the Canadian Government wish to use these credits to finance private trade with Canada.To meet this PRICE\u2014 FHRF CENTS | Abbott Tells Of New Foreign Trade Pacts subject of Foreign Exchange Con- Hon.Douglas Abbott made linown taken to meet recent developments.Among the steps that were announced to take effect on January 1st, Conclusion of arrangements under which a broader use of sterling may be made by Canadian exporters and importers.A revision of regulations to enable certain countries which have received credits from the Canadian Government to use them for private, as well as inter-governmental trade with Canada.Some increase in the authority * authorities, under which Canadian.Anglo Egyptian Sudan, Argen- desire, the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations provide that exports from Canada to France, Belgium, Holland, Norway and Czechoslovakie may be made for payment in Canadian dollars, as well as for payment in U.S.dollars.Exports to sterling area may continue to be made for payment in Canadian dollars or sterling, or in local currency which is freely convertible into sterling.Exports to the United States and the remaining countries not mentioned above will continue to be gov- erened in the same way as under existing regulations, and payment must ordinarily be obtained in U:S.dollars.As from January 1st ne:t, permits will no longer be required for the purchase of U.S.cash in amounts up to $100, and no form will be required on sales to Canadian banks of U.S.do'lars or other foreign exchange up to $1,- 000 it arising from sources other than exports.The authority of banks to sell U.S.funds for travel, without reference to the Foreign Exchange Conrtol Board will be increased from $250 to $500.Autobus, 2 Cars In Bad Collision Two private automobiles and a Montreal Tramways autobus were involved in a three-way collision Thursday morning at 835 am.The accident occured at the corner of Western and Victoria Avenues.Dr.L.P.Laporte, of 9334 La- jeunesse St, was the driver of the car who failed to see the traffic signal or the tramways bus approaching because of snow on his windshield.The violent Collision with the bus completely wrecked the front of the doctor's car and pushed the bus into a parked car, property of L.Marchand of La Bord a Plouffe.Driver of the bus was R.Bour- deau of 1135 Church Ave., Verdun, Only person injured was Miss Eleanor Chartrand of 213 Levesque Blvd.,, who was a passenger in the parked auto.She was taken to the Homoeopathic Hospital and treated for lacerations of the left knee.The bus suffered dents on the right side near the rear door and on the left side by the rear wheel.The parked car was badly damaged, the left side being pushed in and the front wheel being knocked off.The tramways vehicle was going west on Western Ave, and at the time of the mishap, was turning onto Victoria Ave.Aged Woman Dies Following Mishap Mrs.Catherine Mullin, 73, 80 Selby Avenue, died in the Western Division of the Montreal General Hospital early on Saturday morning as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident last Thursday.: a 00e sen AT PAGE TWO By George Cochrane With Oliver Towne, that well known gentleman of wit and wisdom, holidaying in the over-grown village which sportswriters refer to as the Queen City and which I prefer to call the den of the dead, lil o'l George has been pressed into service as a Westmount Whimsier.This state of affairs, I assure you, will last for one week only.This is the first guest column that I have ever written and I must confess that I am somewhat doubtful about where I should begin.So let me, before I or my secretary forget, wish you one and all a Happy New Year and a more or less restrained New Year's Eve, An obviously inebriated gentleman just telephoned to ask us to take a picture of his Christmas tree and publish it in the good old Examiner.The gentleman was politely informed that it is not the policy of The Examiner to go around taking pictures of people's Christmas trees.At which the obviously intoxicated gentleman hung up in disgust.But to matters of more moment.This is the time of year when people make up resolutions that they: begin to break about January 15th, and which they have completely forgotten by the time the suburban city\u2019s garb of sparkling white has melted away into the recesses of memory.Let us, therefore, gentle reader, consider resolutions which we might make at this time.First, be it resolved that no slander shall be directed at those two splendid fellows of the modern theatre, the Messrs.John Clennel Dickins and Arthur Aurel Voron- ka.These two men, and we use the term advisedly, deserve naught but praise and the heartiest commendations for the superb guest col- umning they're doing via West- mount Highlights.The two men are geniuses, genii if you prefer, but definitely very well educated fellows.Leave us, then treat them with the respect that is their due.Art and Jake, we salute you.Pardon our sitting down but it's easier io type this way.Second, be it resolved that Oliver Towne, that excellent columnist and all-round good fellow, also be ireated not as a journalistic rival but as a pal.Mr.Towne, even if he does smoke those vile Italian cigars and does make those puny puns, and even if he does print libel about me and my activities, and even if he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing three-quarters of the time, still deserves a hearty clap on the back.He really does his best and, after all, it\u2019s not his fault that he isn't Jake Dickins or even an Art Voronka.Third, be it resolved that Miss Muffin Warren, that little girl from Belfrage Road (the little street way up on the hill) be publicised only when she desires\u2014or, at any rate, only when it is absolutely necessary.'Nuff said.Fourth, be it resolved that every time Wright Balfour, Westmount\u2019s number one fictioneer, says that I'm at Santa Claus's parade when I'm miles away both physically and mentally, he shall suffer the penalty of having a whiff of grapeshot fired in the general direction of his posterior.And that I, or one of my most trusted lieutenants, shall have the pleasure of firing the grapeshot.Fifth, be it resolved that (as in the past) truth, and only truth, shall be published under the byline of George Cochrane.And that all those who maintain that my truths are not based on fact shall be subject to some very severe penalty, such as having delivery of their Examiner halted immediately.V sixth, be it resolved that if Cochrane ever writes another guest column as bad as this one he will be farmed out to the Hampstead Bugle and begin all over again as copy boy.HEALTH WEEK IN FEBRUARY National observance of Health Week in 1947 has been set for the week beginning Sunday, February 2, it is announced by the Health League of Canada which annually sponsors the event in co-operation with departments of health and education throughout the

Derek Cushing, the chartered accountant to be whose devotion to his job is really something to marvel at; Jake Dickins and Art Voronka, the two theatrical men about town who appended their pictures to a Westmount High card for the most original, and one of the most welcome, greetings of the year, which they personally delivered; Ian McCrae and Louie, Ian being a grade six student at Roslyn and Louie being his sturdily constructed cat; Mr.G.J.Ianitzky, a gentleman who lives in New York and whom I dont know; the Hon.Douglas C.Abbott, Westmount\u2019s M.P.and now Minister of Finance; my

earlier this week during which badges and diplomas were presented to 38 women, The ceremony was held in the Her- pert Symonds Parish House, University street.Mrs.Paul Hamel, director of the Quebec division of the Health League of Canada, was the speaker.Second Lieut.(Home Sister) Vera Scott, R.C.AM.C., Royal Red Cross, presented the awards.Mrs.Hamel stressed the need of trained attendants, particularly now when there is a shortage of nurses.She pointed out that a great deal of their work consisted of carrying health measures into the home.In this way they were supplementing the work of the Health League whose work is purely informative and educational, she said.She urged them to take full advantage of the opportunity to tell their patients how to prevent many -kinds of illnesses pointing out that it is estimated that 50 per cent of sickness today could have been prevented.Aims of League Mrs.Hamel explained that the Health League was seeking to enforce health measures in industry where it was felt that all families could be reached.Miss Louisa M.Parker, principal, stated that this province was about 25 years ahead of other provinces which are now instituting trained attendants\u2019 courses but with emphasis on - youth training.Badge Winners Badges were presented to the following: .Jennie Ashmore, Canaea, Sask.; Mrs.H.Fay Baird, Debert Stn, N.S.: Mrs.Lila

To Hear Verdict Given During Week Former Westmounter Durnford Smith, National Research Council physicist, will hear his verdict next week as County Court Judge A.Gordon McDougall reserved judgment when the case against the former resident concluded on Saturday.Crown Counsel John R.Cartwright of Toronto contended that the case for conviction had been overwhelmingly made out.Mr Cartwright said that the accused had been \u201cdriven to extraordinary explanations\u201d in an effort to explain\u2019 away Crown evidence.Some of Smith's testimony he found \u2018quite incredible.\u201d Lionel Forsyth of Montreal, defense counsel, contended that only one bit of evidence suggested that Smith was linked with a conspiracy.This was the testimoy of Edward Mazerall, former N.R.C.engineer, now serving four years for conspiracy, that Smith had asked him if they could cooperate in obtaining information.Taking the stand on his own De- half, Smith denied he had ever entered into an agreement to give information for Russia or that he had ever given any information.He estimated that while work ing with the N.R.C., he would draw possibly 1,000 documents North Ongonisn, N.S.; Marguer- its

rates -will be adjusted throughout the province of Quebec as a direct result of four major factors \u2014 the alarming increase in traffic accidents; increase in the number and cost of claims; and the sharp increase in the cost of automobile repairs, all of which have developed since gasoline rationing was discontinued.\u201cEffective January 1, 1947, there will be an overall increase\u2019 of slightly less than 15 percent in the cost of \u2018public liability, property damage, Collision, fire and theft insurance for private passenger cars and an overall average increase of just under ten percent for similar cover- ages for commercial vehicles.\u201cThe automobile insurance rating system is governed by the loss experienced in different territories throughout the province therefore the increases for individual vehicles will vary according to type, use, coverage and loca- from its secret library in the run of a year.He fell that his studies had to be related to subjects other than those in his own specific field \u2014 wartime Radar development \u2014 because a scientist had to keep abreast of the broad picture.ACCIDENTS.CAUSED BY ICY CONDITIONS A truck, driven by Michael Walsh of 8565 Lasalle Blvd, pulled out from the curb on Arlington Avenue at 540 p.m.Christmas Eve and smashed into a car driven by Miss Gwen Williams of 5128 N.D.G.Avenue.The truck had the bumper, grill and radiator badly mauled while the car suffered a badly dented left front fender and bumper.No one was injured.A little earlier, at 3.15 p.m, a street car and \"a truck collided at the intersection of Claremont and Sherbrooke Streets.The truck was going south on Clare- mont, crossing Sherbrooke on a green traffic light when the tram hit it.The truck, driven by Patrick Pellicano, had the left fender and wheel damaged while the street car escaped unscathed.tion.These new rates will not affect existing policies until their renewal.\u201cSince the beginning of 1946 the number of traffic accidents, deaths, persons injured and claims has shown an alarming increase.The principal reasons for this situation are the non-observance of traffic laws, speeding on the highways, the wanton disregard of safety rules and imprudent driving.\u201cAs an example of the situa- tion, during the first nine months of this year, in the province of Quebec, there was an increase of 22.5 percent in the number of traffic accidents compared with the first nine months of 1945, an increase of 38.2 percent in the number of persons killed, and an increase of 26 percent in the number of persons injured.\u201cThis recora Is inevitably reflected in the substantial im crease in the number and cost of insurance claims.If this trend continues a further adjustment of rates may be necessary because it is the accident record of motorists as a whole which determines whether rates in the province go up or down.WA.2323 We couldn\u2019t let a holiday season go by without saying Happy New Year to all our friends.HAMPTON

With this last issue of the -year we can look back over twelve months during which few of the fears expressed last January were realized.At that time, we were in the first stages of reconversion and many economic prophets were telling us that a serious business slump was in prospect \u2014 an eco- nomie readjustment, thev called it, co:se- quent upon the return to civil life of hundreds of thousands of men and women from the armed services, the laying off of hundreds of thousands more when war industries closed, and the consequent effect upon trade in all lines.However, this country\u2019s fundamentally sound economic foundation, and the huge backlog of orders for all kinds of goods and services which had disappeared during the war years, plus a reasonably effective price and wage control which kept the cost of living within bounds and allowed us a good margin of purchasing power, has taken up the slack and business has gone ahead by leaps and bounds.Since the beginning of the year, more than a million new jobs have been created and there is still a greater demand for help than there are workers to fill it.We can therefore look forward to the coming year with continued confidence, and with a good solid basis to our wish to all our readers that they enjoy happiness and prosperity.ECONOMIC DREAMS After the first world war, when conditions were not unlike today\u2019s, a politically astute but economically moronic city councilman proposed: (1) That the street railway be permitted to earn and pay an extra one percent on its capital.He argued that the capitalists had to be encouraged to save and invest.(2) That the employees of the railway be granted a ten percent increase in pay.He said the workers were as important to the vital transportation service as the capital- is (3) That fares be reduced.He said that THE EXAMINER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1946 EE since the cost of living was rising in other directions, it was only fair and right that public be given some relief.Much of today\u2019s economic dreaming follows the identical pattern.With few exceptions, most of us know the facts of life.We know that \u2018higher costs have to be retrieved from somewhere, and that this somewhere inevitably is our own pocket-books.In the sweet bye-and-bye, labor-saving machinery and chemistry may perform miracles, but we're living in the world of today and not tomorrow.IMMIGRATION QUESTION MARK The advocates of immigration are too hopeful if they think that immigration by itself is going to solve the farm problem or the labor problems.Nobody can guarantee that the immigrants will stay on the land or that they will even go to the parts of Canada most in need of settlement.They will come here with their own ideas about what they want to do, and are no more likely to accept good advice than anyone else.What we can hope to see among the immigrants when they arrive, at least, is a will to establish security for themselves, even if they have to work more than forty hours a week to do it.They will come to Canada not entitled to relief, to unemployment insurance benefits, to baby bonuses.The only way they can find security is through their own efforts.ROAD TO PROSPERITY Ralph Mueller may have been guessing when he wrote, \u201cSomehow or other a college training seems to tend to take away from the graduate the sort of initiative necessary to start an individually owned or controlled enterprise.\u201d I wonder if that statement can be supported by documentary evidence.It may be true, although I don\u2019t like to think it is, writes William Feather.\u201cCollege graduates,\u201d Mueller says, \u201cseem content to occupy key positions with comfortable and regular monthly salaries.\u201d \u201cFor the entrepreneur,\u201d he continues, \u201cit is, of course, fortunate that more men do not seek leadership.It is only the fact that so many men, otherwise competent, lack those certain \u2018elements of character that would cause them to seek leadership and are therefore content in secondary positions, which enables the captain of an enterprise to gather about him a capable corps of lieutenants.\u201d WEEKLY REVIEW A Communist Interlude By LEWIS MILLIGAN *John L.Lewis ordering 400,000 miners around by the raising of his dictatorial finger.As he beheld the industrial and economic chaos caused by the big strike, the Soviet minister probably exclaimed, \u201cSo this is Western Democracy!\u201d To which we could retort, \u201cNo, this is just a little communist interlude.\u201d A Canadian soldier was sitting Free enterprise must then go, There is a sense in which strikes are essential to a pro- musing on the steps of a hut in one of our big military training camps during the recent war.Looking around him, watching the trucks shuttling to and fro and taking in the entire organization of the camp, his thoughts suddenly crystallized, and he said to himself: \u201cWhy, this is Communism!\u201d This was not uttered as a criticism of communism, for the young man was rather enjoying his new adventure of soldiering.Like many of his companions who had joined up voluntarily to fight for their country, he had declared, \u201cThis is the life!\u201d I was reminded of this young soldier while reading a pamphlet entitled \u201cThe Ultimate Socialism\u201d, by Claude H.Weston of Wellington, New Zealand.Mr.Weston says that since the Labor Party of New Zealand had described its aim as \u201cUltimate Socialism,\u201d he had often been puzzled to forecast what a socialized New Zealand would be like.Mr.Weston lays down two axioms, which he thinks must be accepted in studying state socialism.The first is, in brief, that \u2018once a certain degree of socialisn has been attained, socialism and free enterprise can no longer exist side by.side.and socialism take complete possession of the field.\u201d The second axiom is that \u201cthe central and planning authority cannot function successfully, if it recognizes any authority or control but its own.It must be continuous and independent of the people whose lives it plans.Unless absolute obedience can he obtained, socialism simply will not work.\u201d Mr.Weston draws an analogy between a Socialist State and a Military Force.He says: \u201cThe likeness between our New Zea- land socialist state to be and a military force is very strong.They both have a central authority working to a plan.Where the likeness ends is that an army's authority owes its ultimate obedience to the civil power and is selected by it.Our socialist authority will owe allegiance to no one and be self-selected.Both are alike in that, to be successful, they must have implicit obedience from their followers.There can he no criticism, no slacking, no disobedience.Striking or going slow will be treated as criminal offences.\u201d The prospect of living under a system where there would be no strikes would probably appeal to a great many people in these days.Mr.Molotov and his staft attending the United Nations Conference in New York must have enjoyed the spectacle of gressive democracy, but when a labour leader achieves supreme power over the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers and is able to defy the law and representative government, then democracy becomes a farce and communism begins.The immediate obedience of 400,000 miners to the command of John L.Lewis, is a good example of communism and also militarism.It would not be true to claim that those 400,- 000 men were of one mind on the strike question.A large proportion of them, since they are human beings, must have had diverse opinions as to the advisability of quitting their jobs and.throwing themselves and their families into financial difficulties \u2014to say nothing of the effect of the strike on the lives of millions of people who were not concerned in the dispute.But it was not for the miners to decide\u2014\u2018\u2018Theirs not to reason why.\u201d Mr.Lewis may be quite justified in many of his demands on behalf of the miners, and he has repeatedly declared that he is in favour of free enterprise and opposed to communism.But an extensively organized and dictatorial labour unionism will ultimately lead to a communistic state, in which the \u201cworkers\u201d take over all industries\u2014as they did in Russia.Conducted by Howard S.Ross, K.C., D.C.L.In Which Subjects of General Interest Are Discussed © The opinions expressed, in this newspaper, and accept responsibility for them.8 President H.H.Hannam, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said recently that farmers in all countries seem to agree upon the following:- (a) That they cannot any longer let prices go where.they will.(b) That it is senseless to let them ruin producers because of the temporarily glutted market.(c) That it is stupid to have any marketable surpluses piling up in one place while near famine prevails somewhere else.(d) That they should not sell their products so low in the world - markets as to ruin production at home, their fellow farmers in other exporting countries, or even fellow farmers in importing countries.Mr.Hannan stated that the farmers see great hope in world farm organizations and in the food and agricultural organization.He said that the great aim is organized abundance.* * * Thanks to the discovery by army doctors that large amounts of protein could be accepted by starved stomachs when fed in the form of dried milk and dried eggs mixed, thousands of prisoners of war are living today.Of 92,000 soldiers liberated from German prison camps and treated with this bland diet only eight died, though forty per cent were suffering from severe mal-nutri- tion.* * * The British Government's National Insurance Plan is so far reaching in its provisions that a couple of years of preparatory organization will be necessary before it can he made effective, but in respect to one section of the Act.Dr.Stephen Taylor, M.P.of London, England, recently explained to a number of Canadian audiences there will be no delay.The new retirement pensions for men at sixty-five and for women at sixty are to be paid at onee because it is agreed that those citizens who have reached the pensionable age should not be required to wait; it is recognized that many of them will not live long to enjoy the pensions.This reminds us that Canadian costs of living have gone up, but there has been no comparable increase in the producing power provided to pensioners.* * * Young people from thirteen nations attended the International Cooperative Youth School at Bex- hill, England, last summer, the first of its kind to be held.* * * The German Co-operatives are to be studied by a committee appointed by the International Cooperative Alliance which met recently at Zurich, Switzerland.The most dramatic battle of the Alliance came over government controls versus freedom of trade.The Swedish delegation presented a proposal that controls and barriers to international trade be eliminated as rapidly as possible as a vital factor in raising the world standard of living.The British delegation was quick to oppose it.The leader of the English delegation stated \u201cFree trade is dead\u201d, and insisted that controls are essential now and as we move farther into a planned economy.The U.S.delegation and the Swedes threw in their picture gains to offset the British, There were a few in the British ranks of one hundred delegates and the Russian delegates, who were expected to vote, but abstained.A programme of rural electrification in the United Kingdom ty ef : ) this Forum are not necessarily those of it does not \u201cWestmeunt's Home Newspape.\" Ee ee RE SR à THE FORUM to cost $218,000,000 is being urged by the National Farmers\u2019 Union which believes that with better rural living conditions farm workers may be kept on the land and new ones attracted.* * > _ The U.S.Army is perparing a film on co-operatives to be shown in Germany and Japan.< * * * Whooping cough causes more deaths than poliomyelitis states the Health Officer of Calgary .* * * Four hundred delegates representing 100,000,000 families of twenty-four nations met at Zurich, Switzerland, the occasion being the sixteenth International Cooperative Congress, the first since the 1937 Congress in Paris.The peace formula which those delegates were striving to perfect has its roots not in politics but in economics.They seek to attain their goal through the more equitable distribution of goods and services within each country through the lowering of trade barriers and an improvement on an international basis of cooperative practices and understanding among peoples everywhere.They are trying to replace cooperative nationalism by internationalism.There was a reaching out of minds across state boundaries and across oceans.They were seeking to create a method of the future by which peace would he sought the cooperative way.* * * The most comprehensive and best financed of the state-support- ed pregrammes to aid the workers of the U.S.A.and one which includes management as well as labour is the New York State School of Industrial and Labour Relations which opened in 1943 at Cornell University.This school offers a 4-year resident course leading to a B.A.in industrial relations where subjects such as labour union organizations and operation, legal and constitutional aspects of labour protocols and social insurance and collective bargaining, amelioration and arbitration are included in the curriculum.Extension coufses in leading industrial centres of the state and short courses and institutes are also being set up.In addition, a research service is provided for management and labour.* * * With the increased importance of labour as a responsible group in the community many U.S.institutions of learning have come to realize that they have an obligation to labour as well as to other groups.This recognition of labour by U.S.colleges has been due, it is said, to a great extent, to the bridge between labour and learning which the Workers\u2019 Education Bureau has been building by its labour institute programme over the past sixteen years.Today over eighty universities have opened their doors to these activities.Some now offer extensive programmes designed to reach the rank and file in their home communities; others concentrate on training & selected group of leaders; while others have set up full 4-year joint labour-management courses leading to degrees.Outstanding in this field is the University of Wisconsin where the School for Workers has for over twenty years carried on & realistic programme of workers\u2019 education, emphasizing the need for industrial as well as political democracy.'.val Grd [29! eral celé the lod Oct tur: con rat Mr M.; IP.Rt.cha tre: Bal Ge Flo ton, er, ste ard ste sine

orderly sequence, covering the whole story of Redemption.The fact that nine different people read them (Choirboy, Server, etc.) should teach us, that it is the duty and privilege of all to spread the Gospel message.The ninth Lesson is the Holy Gospel for Christmas Day, proclaiming that our Saviour Christ is none other, than the Son of God, who with the Holy Spirit has lived from all eternity in the Glory of God the Father.The second part of the Service is à visit to the Crib, where prayers and incense are offered, and every boy receives a candle, to remind him, and the congregation there is the grand procession from the Crib to the Altar, symbolizing our pilgrimage from Earth to Heaven; the strains of the Adeste are sung, ending with a glorious descant by Choir and Congregation to the

Man of the Year in Canadian Sport is the great Joe Krol who, with a great display of ability and fight, led the under-dog Argos to the 1946 Dominion title, Krol ranks head and shoplders above any other present athlete in Canada.BILLY CONN, FLOP OF THE YEAR The flop of the year was undoubtedly the dismal showing of Billy Conn in his title bout of last July with Joe Louis.Rated as the fighter who had the greatest chance to beat the champ, Conn refused continually to mix it up with Louis, until finally Joe caught up with him in the eighth round.Canada also saw a flop, with the dismal showing of the 1945-46 edition of the Toronto Maple Leafs.who were rated as sure fire bets to win the N.H.L.title in pre-season tabulations, and who finished in a dismal fifth place after a terrible start.NAVY PROVIDED THE SURPRISE The Surprise of the Year in Sport, was the great show put on by the Navy football team in its game against unbeaten Army, in which the Cadets, a 20-point favorite, won by only three points.And not only that, but when the game ended, the Navy, trailing by 21-18, had the ball on the Army 3-yard line, and were denied the win only by the clock as the West Point team was out on its feet, and just hanging on.Canada\u2019s surprise could be the poor showing in the Dominion final football game by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who after holding the play by a great margin in the first quarter, fell before the supremacy of Joe Krol and Royal Copeland to lose in the end, 28-6.* *% * And so the story went for the football season, some old perennials again holding sway and some other Johnny-Come-Lately\u2019s rising to the top of the heap; and some other old favorites falling from the publie\u2019s eyes.Notre Dame again climbed to the top, sharing the national football championship with Army.The Canadiens again won the Stanley Cup in hockey, and the West again took back the Allan Cup to the prairies with Calgary beating Hamilton for the honors, The Junior hockey scene saw the Memorial Cup\u2019 go west, too, with the Winnipeg Monarchs taking it from Toronto St.Mike\u2019s.The Chicago Bears won pro honors in the U.S, National Football League, an old custom for them, and in Canada, as aforesaid, the Argos again claimed Canadian football supremacy.The St.Louis Cards again took the National League pennant, while Boston Red Sox, by capturing the A.L.flag, gave the Hub its first pennant in 28 seasons.The New York Yankees, perennial pennant winners, ended up about 20 games behind the Red Sox, while in the other circuit, the surprising Brooklyn Dodgers forced the St.Louis Cards to a play-off, after the Cards had been given the pennant long before the season started, on the basis of the great player material they had at hand.Golf saw an old favorite, Ben Hogan, return to his pre-war form to pass Byron Nelson as America\u2019s greatest golfer.Incidentally, it was during the past year that Nelson, greatest golfer since Bobby Jones, announced his retirement from golf.* % * And that's the way it went in the past year, a season of thrills and upsets, but a great season, nevertheless, and the year that marked the start of what should be the biggest and most successful era Sport has ever known.79th Battery Holds Monthly Boxing Show right on Hooper's face that sent the East End lad to the canvas.The results: ~ 80 lbs.\u2014Geary, 79th, decisioned Loiseau, Ukrainian Youth Centre (3).90 lbs\u2014Cartwright, Iverley, de- Laurentian Zone Ski Committee Releases Program The Laurention Zone Competitions calendar was released this week and readS as follows: JANUARY January 5: Downhill on the Red Birds Run for C men, C ladies and C juniors;

uphill fight to the Montreal Senior B school hockey title.The best individual performance: Frank Creaghan\u2019s spectacular knock out victory over \u201cJumbo\u201d Brown in the school's annual boxing show.The school\u2019s most successful team: The Bantam Q.AH.A.hockey squad who went through their season undefeated, with \u2018but three goals scored against them in eight games.\u2019 Top athletes of the year: In Senjor it was Dave Manning who took the honors and in Jun- for it was little Mickey Bourassa who led the Academy's sport favorites.St.Leo\u2019s gamest athlete: The job of selecting the boy who merits this distinction was a difficult task but plucky Ronny Shaw got the nod for his feat of practically playing the entire schedule of the football season at flying wing and turning in a smashing rugged game all the way.Most valuable player awards: Senior B hockey: Jimmy McCarthy.Junior hockey, Mickey Bourassa.Bantam hockey: Harold Wolfe.Senior A Football, Jimmy

safety in case of fire.\u201cOpen stairways, -leading from the lobby, and open elevator shafts act as flues which enable a fire to spread more rapidly.Therefore these should be regarded as danger signals.\u201cAn outside room, not too high above the street and within reach of fire department ladders, is preferable to an inside room in a closed court where there is no way for firemen to enter.\u201cAfter registering, guests should assure themselves of the location of fire stairs or fire escapes and make.certain that no locked doors or barred windows block their escape.\u201cSome hotels are equipped with fire doors, \u2018but if guests find PAGE ELEVEN Mel Bureau Of Missing Persons Actively Operated By Red Cross Missing Persons Bureau \u2014 Catch During the Second World War there was created in Europe a Missing lersons service that has since becoine world famous.It is now widely known as the Inquiry Bureau of the Red Cross Society.Some people think of it as the Missing Persons Bureau of the Red Cross, because its function is, indeed, to locate missing persons throughout the world.The Bureau has ils headquarters | in Ceneva, in Switzerland.There, in Geneva, the International Red Cross brings together information concerning these missing persons.The information is gathered by the Red Cross Society of the particular country in which anxious relatives initiate the inquiry.For example the Danisn Red Cross might communicate to the International Red Cross some information concerning a Danish person who has not been heard from and who is\u2014let\u2019s say\u2014believed to have come to Canada.The International Red Cross would hand on the information to the Canadian Red Cross Society in the hope that the missing person might be located somewhere in Canada.Sometimes there is a clue as to which city is most likely to be the new home of the person whose family are anxious to re-establish contact with him.The Canadian Red Cross has an important branch of its inquiry bureau in Montreal.And this Montreal bureau has just compiled some interesting figures concerning its activities throughout the Province of Quebec, where various branches of the Red Cross stand ready to help in this and other work of the Society.The Montreal Bureau has studied and classified and passed on information concerning thousands of inquiries.The lists that are from time to time published contain as many as two and three hundred names on each list.Already nearly one hundred persons have been located in the Province of Quebec, to the great joy of relatives and friends who have anxiously awaited word in Europe\u2014perhaps in one of UNRRA's camps for dis- W-7 placed persons.Take for example one couple brought together by the good offices of the Canadian Red Cross bureau in Montreal.Someone in Montreal had noticed the name in a listing of missing persons as published in the newspapers from time to time and had communicated to the Red Cross precisely the bits of information needed to establish contact between the man and his wife.As we remember it, the wife had gone looking for him in the United States, only to find that he was, after all, living in Montreal.Still another case is that of two them blocked open with wooden wedges, they should report this condition to the hotel clerk or manager.\u201cAs panic often spreads through inability to warn guests, they should inquire what fire alarm system the hotel operates and what plan is in effect for notifying guests in case of fire.\u201cIf exits appear unsafe, guests can work out their own plan for escape through windows or by means of rope made of bed sheets, which should be tied securely.\u201cMany lives are lost because in case of fire individuals try to escape by the door.If both door and transom to the corridor are kept closed, these provide some protection and delay the entry of a fire into individual rooms.An ordinary wooden door and transom, tightly closed, can hold back fire for some time before it burns through.\u201cIn the event a guest is trapped in a room, the safest plan to follow is to open the window, keep the door and transom closed, | and await instructions from the firemen, who can save more lives with ladders and nets if guests follow these suggestions.\u201d Europeans named Krummins and Herman.The other day a Que- ce paper published a Red Cross :renort that they are being anxiously sousat by their relatives in 1 rope, viro think that these two amen are working on a'farm, some- wiere within fifty miles of Que- bcz City.They could not name a more exact location; but even that mey seive to locate the men in ! question.Sti\"l another example among the scores cf people located by this co-operation between the Red Cross in Eurcpe and the Red ! Cross in Canada is Karl E.Olson, a Scandina!ou who was located in Montreal ard put in touch with the family he had completely lost track of and which had almost completely lost track of him.Many piilosonhic observers thing that this inquiry bureau of the Red Cross Society reflects a new era in human conceptions of in- ternationality.They find a welcome willingness on the part of the public of one country to help with the problems, even the individual problems, of the peoples of other lands.Yet the inquiry bureau for missing persons is but one of ile many services the Red Cross has rendered humazitv in the International field\u2014and which it is continuing to maintain in some cases, The international field is not Ly any means-\u2014now that the war is over\u2014the only field in which the Red Cross serves.: a Here in Canada, there 1s a peace-time programme for the Red cross which ranges from a nationwide blood bank to the teaching of water-security and preparedness for any disaster that might suddenly strike some Canadian community.It is now universally recognized that the Red Cross can, and should and must carry on in time of peace much of the work of mercy and of health improvement that it accomplished so magnificently ir time of war\u2014blood banks, for example.The Mobile Medical and Dental Clinics operated by the Red Cross in the outlying communities of the Province of Quebec are a wonderful example of Red Cross work.But their work admittedly accomplishes only a part of the task in outlying districts.For this reason the Red Cross hopes to one day have a floating medical and dental clinic to serve the sparsely settled districts of the north shore of the lower St.Lawrence.But this at present is merely a project of which we may have details later.SOUTH

about the lanes and thoroughfares suburb these chilly December days.Westmount- ers are mou.ning the approaching departure of Jimmy McCormick, the suburb city's recreation super- .visor, for the supposedly greener Ontario.Popular Jeems winds up his duties in Westmount next week, leaves for his post with the Waterloo Memorial Auditorium on January of our beautiful pastures of Waterloo, 6.* * * I was talking to Jimmy the other morning.\u201cI feel like a corpse,\u201d he told me.\u201cEverybod\u2019s writing obituaries about me and while they make me out to be quite a guy I think they're making people think I'm dead.And I wouldn't like to.leave the big city with a lot of wreaths around my luggage.\u201d * + * Well, I can understand how the McCormick feels about it all but, as far as Montrealers are concerned, when the wiry Scot pulls out for Waterloo on January 6, he might as well be dead.And there is genuine mourning at his departure.Mourning not only because People know that he did a superb job as Westmount\u2019's recreation supervisor but also because everybody who had any dealings with him know that Jimmy is a swell guy.* * * He's an energetic guy foo.His job as

EXAMINER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1946 hours a day.That would have been enough work for the normal guy\u2014but little Jeems is no normal guy.He used to pound out two or three thousand words of sports copy for The Westmount Examiner every week, copy about the multitude of leagues he organized and supervised.He was one of the Montreal Basketball League's best referees and also handled intercollegiate and school games.* * * He was active in basketball in other than a refereeing role as well.For several seasons he coath- ed Mont St.Louis and this year he had a hand in the management of that powerful Nationale quintet.x ox * Jimmy also tried his hand at newspaper work.He wrote sports for The Standard and about a year ago knocked out a fiction story called \u201cThe Pinch Hatter\u201d that appeared in The Standard\u2019s magazine section.I asked him a couple of weeks after the story appeared, how his fiction career was getting along, and he replied, \u201cI've given it up.I thought I'd better quit while I was ahead.\u201d * * * He had a few articles.published in the magazine section of The Standard as well as in a few other magazines and could have made a half decent living out of news- paperwork and free lancing df he had felt so inclined.* % * for ideas.I remember back in the fall of 1944 the thought came to him that a football program, sold every Saturday and Sunday at all the school and Q.R.F.U.games, Would be a veritable goldmine, He christened it \u201cThe Spor* Observer.\u201d Jimmy was editor-in-chief.He enlisted me as sports editor and then Leonard Mendel, the West Hillian, joined the staff with correspondents from other schools.Jimmy\u2019 even had a Toronto correspondent for the first couple of issues.¥ * + That Sport Observer gave Jimmy and me more fun than an intoxicated circus.After about six issues the McCormick decideu to capitulate.He paid off -the staff and his debts and ended up about $37 and 2000 unsold Sport Observers to the good.That after he had worked about 100 hours on the project.} * * * But it was still a lot of fun.I remember one night when Jimmy, Len Mendel and myself were gathered in the McCormick\u2019s apartment on Sherbrooke street.It sounded like a rifle range, with three typewriters going full steam ahead.Jimmy's wife sat on the sofa and placidly observed the pounding until a sudden thought struck her, she shrieked and then murmured, \u201cJimmy, the lease says we\u2019re not allowed to carry on a business in the apartment.And with all those typewriters making such a racket I think the janitor is going to get suspicious.\u201d And those were the days when the housing shortage was worse than it is today.* + æ.I remember another night when we were down at the Verdun

Kusack Hockey made its inaugural appearance as a television sport this season and is already winning\u2019 the world's fastest game a host of new fans.After having successfully telecast other major sports attractions television moved into the hockey sphere this year and right from the start proved a tremendous success.All home games of the Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers are being televised this season.The Black Hawk games are telecast by WBKB, the Bala- ban & Katz station, while the Columbia Broadcasting System Television Station, WCBW-N.Y.televise the New York games.The Rangers broadcasts are under the supervision of Bob Edge, sports director of WCBW Win Elliott calls the play-by- play while Bernie London, WC- BW sports staffer and assistant to Edge, serves as researcher and spotter and contacts the interviewees for all telecasts.WBKB in Chicago have one of the most advanced television stations in the United States.The station plans to log 35 television hours on the air each week and have already logged as many as 30 hours.Director of the Station is Bill Eddy, who has invented much of the equipment and devised many of the techniques in use throughout the is the engineer in charge of the Chihawk And Ranger Home Games Being Televised out to the 7,000 television sets in the Greater New York Area.A mobile television work crew numbers ten, sometimes more, including technicians and sports staffers.New viewers to television invariably ask this question: How far does it carry?Television does not carry as far as radio.Unlike radio waves which follow the curvature of the earth, television waves beam straight.This restricts to line-of-sight the area any station can cover.Currently, this limitation is accepted as roughly between 35 and 40 miles.However, one Milwaukee set owner, approximately 95 miles from Chicago makes frequent reports of how WBKB's programs were being received on his set.: Telecasting of games another milestone in the

Schmidt and Bobby Bauer, once the most feared line in hockey, visiteq Gerry Snyder's Sports Shop Saturday morning.The missing member of the trio was the fast-skating Schmidt who was nursing a bad cold as well ag a stiff neck.Schmidt still managed to do his duty against Les Canadiens Saturday night, though.The Bruins duo arrived at the store, 5017 Queen Mary Road, at about 11.45 and stayed an hour and a half signing autographs and talking with the 300 or so fans who gathered at Snyder\u2019s emporium to take a peak at the far-famed \u201cKrauts.\u201d The visit was one of a series which Gerry Snyder has Planned.He has a few more stunts tentatively scheduled for the New Year and prorgises more definite information in the near future.Technicolor movie cameras rost Here are records for

in televising a hockey game let us take you to Madison Square Garden, New York.In a cage suspended from the west balcony are two cameras with monitoring equipment.These cameras which are fitted with telescopic lenses for pulling in the end zone plays are continuously taking pictures of the game.Each of the cameras feeds into the control equipment room where two machines record the pictures on a small grid or screen about 4 by 5 inches in size.Watching these two machines are two operators and director, the latter constantly signalling to the operators as to which of these images is to be sent out over the wires.They are then relayed over special telephone lines and repeaters, to the AT.& T.headquarters downtown; up to the CBS Studio Control Room in the Grand Central Terminal Building, and then over to the station\u2019s transmitter in the Chrysler Tower for transmission ing Company, where the Observer was set up.It was something like 2 a.m.and everyone was more than a little sleepy, more than a little jumpy.Jimmy was particularly peeved because one page had been messed up and had had to be done all over again.It came time to make a proof of the last page.The printer asked Jimmy to hold the page form in place while he spread a piece of newsprint over it and began to hammer with a large wooden mallet.% » % The inevitable happened.The mallet descended on Jimmy's thumb and for the McCormick that was the last straw.He unleashed a string of profanity that almost melted lead in the linotype machines.The poor printer was more embarrassed than anything else.I made matters worse by almost splitting my sides laughing.% ¥ » Well, James, I'm sorry if this sounds like an obituary.It's just meant as a tribute to a very capable man and a really swell guy.All the best, Jimmy.¥ Xr =»
