lately that the site of the old football field would be gone over so that the teams could stage their workouts there. In fact there was a government man with us and work is to be started immediately.

An athletic field, combining a cinder truck. baseball, softball and football fields, is to be erected. It will serve as a memorial to the many fine boys who laid down their lives in the second great war and also at the same time mark the first step in a movement to get the up and coming generation inter- ested in athletics once more.

Bill, himself a veteran of this war and a boy who has been and still is interested mightily in ath- letics-he was quite a performer himself, particularly in football-As letting no grass grow under his feet since his appointment, He is bending every energy in getting things underway and if his efforts meet with success then it should not take long before athletics should be once more one of the main attractions of the province.

4 4 4 4

Another thing, and this is a real good one, is the idea of Bill's of ‘forming a referee's association. All through larger centres such assoc- iations are in force. It has never been put into effect here but it is something that is really needed and there should be enough inter- ested to form a bang-up associat- ion and by so doing guarantee the iilIerent sports bodies of having capable officials on deck for -the various contests that take place.

Tomorrow afternoon Prince of Wales and second Saints tangle in an exhibition game that should provide fans who attend with bet- ter than a fair indication of just- how the Island intercollegiate ser- ies will go this year.

At the present time the City squad. coached by Professor Gor- don Bennett are the f-ivorites, but as we have said many times before this will not mean a thing. P.W.C.. fielding the heaviest team in years and with several of their old-time stars back after service overseas. should put up quite a battle in their struggle to retain the crown they now hold.

4 4 4 4

But whichever way it goes, foot- ball fans are bound to see another great series between two keen riv- his. It will not be one-sided by any means and although Wednesday's match will be only an exhibition affair—and again the writer is re- peating himself-—it will serve the purpose of giving fans an idea of just how the best of three ti‘le series will go.

Amazingly enough, the worst world series of them all produced enough records to cover ten such play-offs, and, we strongly suspect. the Detroit and ChicBlI° players are mighty glad the battle is over.

The last game, which gave LAP! Detroit Tigers the world's baseball championship, provided the flnisli- lng touches to an erratic string of gamgs that get up records all over two ball parks.

German Prisoners - Charged With Murder

‘i Dick Irvin Still Juggling Lines

(By The Canadian Press)

MONTREAL, Oct. 15-Coach Dick Irvin of Montreal Canadians is still juggling his lines around and to date at least two forward trios seem destined to play regu- larly. The powerful Laoh. Rich- ard, Blake combination will be one and the other is the new Ben- oit, O'Connor. Reay trio which ob- servers predict will flash as a com- panion line to the line which has paced Canadians for the last two seasons. Legs Fraser is showing up well in the nets and will be good insur- ance foi- Canadiens if regular Bill Durnari should be injured during the season. Canadiens tiuvel to Ottawa for week-end practices as ice ls un- available at the Forum and Satur- dfly lllsht will see the Montrealers in an exhibition game there.

Manager Tommy Gorman was in Detroit during the week-end ostensibly to wind up the Billy Rosy deal but there are reports that Jack Adams of Detroit Red Wings is keen on getting one or two of the Canuck reserves.

TOKYO. Oct. 10 — (Tuesday)- (AP) —- General MacArthur an- nounced today that demobilization

DGE. AlfAL. Oct. 15 —

he w

of Japan's once great army and navy had been completed.

The Supreme Allied Command- el'. in a speech PNPQ-"d 1°!‘ world-wide broadcast, added that defeated and devastated Japan would need much time and kreat patience from the entire world to “restore the dignity and free- dom of the common man" in the

island empire. Gen. MacArthur said that for the first time soldiers of the

occupation forces had given the Japanese people an insight into "a free man's way of life in actual action and it stunned them into new thoughts and new ideas." More than 7.000.000 Japanese in the home islands and outlying areas have laid down their arms, Gen. MacArthur said. Then he added:

"Nothing could exceed the ab- jectness. humiliation and finality of this surrender. It is not physic- ally thorough but it has been equally destructive of Japanese spirit."

In contrast to "some concepts that have been advanced." the Japanme army was thoroughly defeated before its surrender, Gen. MacArthur said!

Sharp Housing Debate Expected In Briiishiliouse

By JAMES McCOOK LONDON, Oct. l5 - (GP Cable) — Aneurin Bevin. as housing minister, has said that 5,000,000 houses were the final target of the much-debated building piro- gram but the House of Commons this week will demand that the minister give an accounting of what is being done to meet the urgent demand for the 1.250.000 homes needed. not years from now but immediately.

Whitehall expects the housing

debate scheduled for Wednesday will be sharp. On the order paper 30 questions have been asked of Mr. Bevan by members, many of them supporters of the Labor Government. These questions cov- er about everything from the broad national housing policy to local complaints about the stow- ness of construction. Some members expressed re- gret that Winston Churchill. con- fined to his home by a sore throat, may not be in the House on Wed- nesday. Mr. Churchill and Mr. Bevan are old house-ante ouists and the former Prime ulster, once in heated wartime debate called Mr. Bevan "that architect of disloyalty."

Mr. Bevan. fiery Welshman. was sharply critical of some aspects of the war policy and foreign af- fairs-handlipg hlle he was a private member. ‘

The Opposition motion to be debated expresses grave appre- hension over ho '_ pmspcctc,

Mr. Bevan is expected in make a comprehensive statement which will include up-to-date figures. The last report six weeks ago said that 130,000 temporary houses promised to local author- orily 3.600 actually were completed. A program in detail for permanent houses also is awaited.

Some Labor members eufleei. that Mr. Bevan lh0llld accept thel problem as a full national erudrg-

tag hampering building.

nether or not the Labor Gov- erumentlikee the idea. some critics say big-business methods must be employed to overcome the housing shortage, with large firma undertaking mass produc- tion aud abandoning the tradi- tlprial king and alow op- erationa of individual email build- en.
