FALSE DOPE LEADS TO TROUBLE Jack Herron, St. 52 Gre-sham charged with committing a public mischief by giving false information to a police officer who was making out a jay-walking ticket, was committed to stand supreme court trial when he appeared before Magistrate R. V.

Read in city police court Thursday. Bail was set at $200. Const. C. G.

P. Harper told the court that on Oct. 6 he gavi Herron a ticket for jay-walking on 1st St. E. between 6th and 7th Aves.

and that Herron gave the name of Arthur Pruett, 9-i 20th Ave. N.W. Pruett, who goes to the same school as the accused, told court that on Oct. 6 he was in Edmonton. He testified that later Herron phoned and said he had used his (Pruett's) name on a jay-walking ticket.

Pruett testified at the time he thought it was a joke but later his father had to provide police with evidence he had been in Edmonton on Oct. 6. Pruett said he had known Herron at school and recognized his voice on the telephone as Herron had phoned him several tim previously. Refugees Influx Predicted "There vill be a new influx of refugees and we must do more to integrate them than we did after the last war," Eric Sletholt told the Kiwanis Club of North Calgary at the Royal Hotel Thursday Mr. Sletholt, a former professor of Upper Canada College and freelance broadcaster with the CBC International Service, is now director of the Western Travel cies in Calgary.

He was with the Norwegian Intelligence Service in the Second Great War. Mr. Sletholt stressed the point that bringing people to Canada was no good, if we promptly forgot about their problems as soon as they were inside our borders. He felt they had been simply dropped here, with almost no program of education for citizenship, eithsr public or government sponsored. SAME PROBLEMS The result was the same as in the past, when discrimination misunderstanding and hard feelings arose between old Canadians and new.

"There are many more means to bring about understanding between peoples now than ever before," Mr. Sletholt said. "The Aftermath of the theme of his speech was outlined vividly through the problems of 12,000,000 displaced persons who were left in collection centres after 1945. Mr. Sletholt, who worked among these people at that time, described the conditions, and the mistakes that were made in settling those people.

NO COUNTRY "A displaced person is one who for reasons beyond his control, has lost his country. His morale is low and he has few means left to help himself," continued Mr. Sletholt. The new Canadian who has come to Canada of his own free will has problems enough, but the displaced person has even tnore, he pointed out. Mr.

Sletholt feels that the revolts and unrest in Europe will cause us to face these problems once again. Driver Charged As Car Overturns William McCulley. 10-1S 19th Ave. S.E., was charged with impaired driving early today after the auto he was driving overturned on Ave. between COth and 30th Sis.

Warmth and depth of feeling was a marked feature of her performance.

Her voice had the effortlessness of perfected technique and control. She generously and graciously acknowledged the demand for encores from her audience. ZENITH OF ACHIEVEMENT Her audience was one with her. A New York reviewer has said, "Any descriptive comment one could make concerning tone, technique, volume or grace, would be mere hairsplitting she has to be heard to be believed." Unfortunately there were not overwhelming numbers of Calgarians present reached the proportions in building supply forms. In the U.S., rio-it-yourself has extended even to plumbing and heating, and dealers are selling package equipment with which home-owners are able to install their own plumbing and heating svsiems.

NO INVOLMENT In Canada, while such package equipment is on the market, it is not widely distributed. Some dealers sa.y they do not wish to become involved in their complaints following amateur installation of complicated equipment. The mfjor field of do-it-yourself craftsmanship in Canada is carpentry. Popularity of home workshop projects has been promoted principally by plywood manufacturers and makers of electrical tools. Lumber dealers now offer "take home" plywood panels in a wide range of sizes, that can easily be carried in a car or even a bus.

"Exotic" wood panels, including mahogany and birch, are also prominently displayed for the home craftsman who wishes to try his hand at making a coffee table or other piece of furniture. FREE INFORMATION Free pamphlets giving specifications (or home projects are distributed by the major plywood makers, while publishing companies are printing magazines and books for the do-it-yourself fans. Electrical tool manufacturers, with a new mass market available, have designed small units specifi-on some tools, such as electric drills and sanders. Many firms hvae designed small units epecifi-caily for the home workshop. Electric drills, for example, are available with a multiplicity of attachments which convert the drill into a power hand saw, table saw, jig saw.

drill press, polisher, buffer, sandcr and grindstone. EVEN CEMENT tA-cn concrete firms are giving considerable attention to the do-it-yourself handyman, and are distributing material indicating projects that may be undertaken by amateurs. These projects include patios, fences and outdoor planters. Fretwork, dealers say. has gained considerable popularity, and recently craftsmen with a creative bent have begun showing greater interest in wood carving tools.

Taint manufacturers have taken advantage of the trend and have designed paints and varnish finishes adapted to the needs of the home handyman who wants a finish that is easv to applv. nnri that looking" job without requiring the skill of a professional. HOW'S IT fiOINfi And how do the professional craftsmen view the do-it-yourself trend? A Turner Bone. Montreal, president of the Canadian Construction Association, says he is "very much in favor" of the trend, because it creates enjoyment and a sense of achievement. Mr.

Bone, at a recent meeting in Vancouver, denied that do-it-yourself" is cutting to any significant extent into work that would otherwise be done by building contractors. He added, however, that the do-it-yourself handyman is not likely to save any money. "You'll get better value for your money and spend a good deal less in the long run if you hire a professional to do your building for you." he declared. Mr. Bone said the value of "do-it-yourself" is not in money saved, but in personal satisfaction.

Speeches Wind Up UGGConfab Hours of speech-making by visiting grain marketing experts and agriculturists, featured the closing COCciinC l-i tVl A innilll mAAtinn n' "-Mi'Jiw ui urc annuo iiicruiig Ui shareholders of the United Grain Growers Ltd. Thursday at the Pal- ijcpr Hotel Delegates also a tackled a number ct resolutions dealing with grain marketing problems during the closing hours of the two-day session. The perennial question of abandoning the bushel measure in grain was again brought to the fore by D.

G. McKenzie of Winnipeg, chief of the board of grain commissioners. NOW POSSIBLE Mr. McKenzie said it was now technically possible to substitute the hundredweight measure for the bushel measure. He said the board and the western committee on grain standards had been studying the question.

However, before any change is made, all farm organizations will be given an opportunity to take part in the discussion. Hon. L. C. Halmrast, provincial Minister of agriculture told the delegates that there was still acres of land in Alberta that could be used for fanning.

He made it clear that agriculture was still Alberta's basic industry despite large oil development, and also despite the fact that the income of Alberta farmers was less in 1955 than it had been in 1954. INCREASING At the present time, there are more than 84.000 farms in Alberta and more farmsteads were bein that 1 dustry in the province made great strides during the year and cash sales of livestock were aiding the economic condition of the farmer. During the session on resolutions, the delegates discussed one which criticized the subsidized exporting of wheat by other countries the U.S. in particular. GIVE SUPPORT The resolution asked that western farm organizations the parent body, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, give every possible support to the efforts of the Canadian government in restraining the practice of subsidized wheat export.

Such action by othr countries constituted a grave threat to the international wheat price structure.

No Evidence Chief Justice C.

C. McLaurin dismissed a charge of receiving interest on bail against George Thompson at criminal assizes after the Crown offered no evidence. "I think Mayor Hawrelak has taken a liberty with his enthusiasm when he states Edmonton has men, market and material in bigger proportion than Calgary," he said. COMPARABLE Dealing with Edmonton's manpower claim, the Calgary mayor said was "compaiable on any basis." Turning to the capital city's market as compared to Calgary, Mayor Mackay said "this city has a tremendous advantage. We can go only in the forward direction He foresaw Calgary as occupyin the position of the major market Alberta.

"When it comes to material it all depends how far Mayor Hawrelak wishes to claim his sphere of influence. He likes to travel 100 miles in order to justify Edmonton's industrial growth. But he will have to go even further than that for there are industrial developments that have been by-lined Edmonton." on. ROOSTING As for oil boosting Edmonton's trade, Mayor Mackay said it was discovered "in their own backyard and automatically gave them a tremendous industrial potential." The Mayor stressed: "I certainly have no quarrel with Edmonton. I wish the city well in the expansion that nature has blessed it with.

But let it never be surrested or claimed that that expansion has been localized." i He said "cities by their atmos- I ohcre and thrir pnteniiaiity radiate themselves in the field of spncifie endeavour.

Both types should have a place in the Canada of tomorrow Mayor Mackay mentioned that statistics had shown Calgary, by its rapid growth, was second only to Edmonton in size. "Consequently there is very little for the Stam pede City to be worried about in its hopes for the future.

He said Calgary's expansion was indicative of its citizens. We have inn uri wiiii nmm gifts of oil discoveries."

Salmon explained that the- partial cause of war lies in the hearts of men, and that one of the key methods of eleminating the threat of a third great war lies in each man's expansion of his circle of friends. WAR THREAT "We can't rest." he said, "until we can look upon all men, regardless of race, color and creed, as friends. When this is accomplished throughout the world, war will not brar the threat it docs today. "We can't let those men down who died in the First and Second Great Wars and in the Korean War. God help us if we hold lightly the things for which they died," the padre continued, Capt.

Salmon told the group the most effective way in which Calgarians, and Canadians as a whole, could achieve the end of world friendship is to hurl themselves with re-newed vigor into the work of the Christian church. REMEMBER lie urged the memhers of the club to remember, in their prayers and thoughts, the many gallant men who died in the Great Wars and in the Korean war, and also the relatives of these men, the widows and orphans, the parents and immediate family who lost someone close to them. "But," he added, "your memory of these people should be coupled with gratitude for those whose great friendship met and passed the supreme test, that of self-sacri fice. Each of those men loved life, but they loved honor more." "The men who died fighting the wars did not call their effort patriotism, there was little talk about king and country among them," Capt. Salmon said, "but rather, there was something deeper, something to do with the cruelty of dictatorship and oppression they could not stand.

HEM, OF WAR "They knew Canada is not a perfect country, but they were aware that it is the best place in the world to live, and because of this, they were willing to go into the hell of war for their way of life." He told the group that they dare not forget what the soldiers went through, but added that they were not to remember them with a spirit of malice or hatred, as the thought of another war is too hostile to describe. "Those who share the Christian way of life cannot hold self sacrifice lightly, for sacrifice is the key-note of the Christian faith and the cross itself is not a beautiful thing, hut an ugly symbol of sHf-saerifiee and r. horrible brutal example of death." "Those who died knew the meaning of self-sacrifice," the Padre concluded, "and those who live should try and match the sacrifice of the dead in working to bring world-peace to our way of life." COL.
