Canada’s trains will start to
rumble over rusty tracks forty
eight hours after parliament
passes the strike- settlement bill.
Railway strikers will be or
dered back to work under the
federal order which lays out un
conditional terms of settlement,
Passage of the bill will mark
the climax of mounting tension
and’ confusion throughout the
country. Since management and
union talks broke down
pletely over the week-end,
side has hollered long and
over injuries.
Pending a final settlement of
the dispute workers will receive
a provisional wage increase of
four cents an hour. If unions
and railroads don’t settle their
grievances in fifteen days, the
government will use compulsory
arbitration.
In an attempt to get the em
ergency bill passed in record
time, Prime Minister St, Laurent
ignored traditional parliamentary
decorum in the opening of the
special session,
Members heard the govern
ment’s plans shortly after parlia
ment opened Tuesday. Conditions
of the bill were made public at
8 p.m. Members were allowed to
consider the bill over Wednesday
night, Sessions were continued
at 11 a.m. Wednesday
government hoped for
vote.
As the strike entered
day, government sources estimat
ed 19 2,000 Canadians are out of
work because of the shutdown
of the railway system. But that’s
hardly the whole picture. Effects
of the strike touched every sec
tion of the Canadian economy.
Never before in Canadian his
tory has a dispute between labor
and management so crippled the
nation. It marks the greatest
display of strength organized
labor has ever attempted.

Zurich Fall Fair Attracts
Strong District Entries

featured the Zurich Fall Fair
Tuesday, Competition was keen

The school fair drew close to
100 entries in the various
classes. There was stiff competi

in domestic science.
Strong local support for the
fair was indicated by the district
contestants who constituted a
big majority of the entrants.
A school children’s parade led
by the popular New Dundee

The defence minister announced
a $200,000,000 appropriation for
Canadian-made long- and short-
range jet fighters and
pansion of the aircrew
scheme to include 200
a month from Britain.
This increase in the
schedule, coupled with . ___
own stepped-up recruiting, means
that another flying training
school will be established in the
west to lighten the load on
R.C.A.F. Stations Centralia and
Clinton.
The announcement that U.K.
will be sending recruits for
training in Canada under a small
scale revival of the Common
wealth Air Training Plait will
bring back memories to people
of this district of World War ii
days when they entertained men
from the British Isles.
Within one year_ a vastly ex
panded R.C.A.F. will have in
service more than 600 first-line
fighters, most of them hard
hitting jets of the most advanced
design,
It is the most momentous an-
nouncement the peacetime R.C.
A.F. has ever known.
There was no mention of spe
cific quantities in the plane
order announcements but from
other sources came disclosure
that Canada is buying 300 U.S.-
designed F-86 Sabres and 100
Canadian-designed CF-100 Can
ucks.
Until the Canadian jets come
into mass production, R.C.A.F,
formations will rely on seventy-
three British-built Vampires and
100 U.S.-made Mustangs, pro
peller-driven fighters being drawn
from war-surplus stockpiles. The
Mustangs were purchased this
month from t h e U. S. Defence
Department tor $7,000,000.

’Sharing the same courses as
Canadian recruits will be aircrew
candidates from Britain, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Nor
way and Portugal. The R.C.A.F.
expects 399 trainees a year from
these sources. Britain, with her
initial contribution of 390, will
be the principal partner in this
scheme.
To increase the domestic flow
of potential airmen, provision |
was made for a fifty per cents

w..,..., jury’s statement said “We
find that the driver, Lawrence
Taylor, was negligent and partly
to blame for the accident by
exceeding the speed limit at the
time and thereby not having his
motor car under proper control
and we also find that the de
ceased boy Kenneth Walter Sul
livan was also partly responsible
in that he was pulling out from
behind other traffic without
keeping proper lookout for ap
proaching traffic while crossing
onto the other side of the road”.
Evidence showed that the boy
pulled out from behind a tractor
drawing two wagons toward
outskirts of the village. He
lided with the car driven by
Taylor and was thrown over
hood, crashing headfirst into
windshield.
Witnesses who appeared

Watts, who were travelling be
hind the Taylor car; Dr. M. C.
Fletcher; Gerald Gaiser, Joseph
Woodall, who were riding on the
wagons; Jack Doerr; and C. W-
