Demolition Of Old City Hotel

The week-end is expected to see

the complete "tian of an old landmark-the Morell Hotel on Kent street-to make way for

further expansion by R. T. Holman Limited in the development of a parking area for their customers. The hotel. which for many years was operated by the late William seller and Mrs. Seller, was a centre of activity on market days when farmers and their wives drove to the city to conduct their business at the "stalls" directly. with their customers of long standing. "Good stabling. hay and oats." was the sign leading into the rear of the hotel and equally good provision was made for the patrons who were always on hand for the noon meal. The new set-up provides for a parking area of considerable size and a concrete walk five feet wide direct from Kent St. to an ent- rance which brings the customers right to the main floor of the store The area will be levelled off neit week and the concrete walk com- pleted promptly in order to have this added convenience provided by I-Iolmans Ltd, available as soon as possible.

Indictments Bring

Dy ARTHUR EVERETT

NEW YORK (AP)-Four teen- agers were indicted on first-dsgree murder charges Thursday. nine days" after their chance arrest as alleged thrill killers.

The indictments cast the shadow of the electric chair over the Brooklyn quartet. The death sen- tence is mandatory with flrst-dc- gree murder convictions.

Their age is no bar to their execution, if convicted. Boys as young as 17 have gone to the chair in New York. However. commuta- tion of I death sentence is more likely for a boy of tender years.

Two of the boys indicted are 17- Jerome Lieberman and Melvin

More Than One Man For Every Woman In Canada

OTTAWA, ICPJ -Can-adas men folk are getting ahead of the op- posite sex, in numbers at least.

. The bureau of statistics estimated Thursday that men outnumberet women in the 10 provinces by 198.- 000 at the start of June-7,683,000 to 7,485,000. It was the greatest numerical difference between the sexes in five years. A year earlier there were 7,474,000 men and 7,- 281.300 women, a difference of 193.400.

The figures do not include the Yukon and Northwest Tenitories. whose population of 27,000 at June l brought the total to 15,195,000.

Canada always has had more men than women. The 1951 census. nowever, showed a majority of only 164.000, the smaliesl margin in al- most 50 years. Since 1951, the male population has increased by 608,600 and the female population by 575.- 000, In 1951, only one province, Que- bec, had a preponderance of wom- en. At the first of June this year men had an edge in every prov- ince.

The standing by provinces: New- foundland, 205,100 men and 192.906 WOYMH: Prince Edward Island 53,- 300 Ind 51.700; Nova Scotla, 342.- 500 and 330,500. New Brunswick, 274,600 and 272.400; Quebec, 2,194,- 700 and 2.193.300; Ontario 2,547,- 000 and 2.499.000; Manitoba, 420.300 and 407.700: Saskatchewan, 457,300 and 420,700: Alberta, 542,500 and 498.500: British Columbia, 495,700 and 820,300.

By 989 groups, women had a numerical edge only in the age brackets from 25 to 34 years, and over 74.

Looks For High Prosperity in Canada

TORONTO. (CP)-one of Con- ada's top industrial executive told a gathering of editors Thursday that, barring a catastrophic war or completn international turmoil. there is no single reason why Can- ada should not continue to enjoy

lc expansion and high W06- perlty.

Rhys M. Sale, president of Ford of Canada, told the closing session of the Canadian Weekly newspap- ers Association convention that "we have not been having a de- pression nor a recession nor any- thing of the kind.”

"We have been going through a perfectly normal period of adjust- ment and if I read the signs cor- rectly we are on the way out."

He said he could not understand why any business man should be unduly pessimistic.

"Our own swelling population guarantees steadily increasing home markets--these on the source of ll large part of our potential pros- perlty.”

Canadians had seen signs of I. betterment in world markets for Canadian products with the relaxa- tion of exchange and import re- strictions in some Commonwealth territories.

"The thing we haw to avoid." he said. "is taking our prosperity for granted. There is no magic formula which makes It Dotsible for the Canadian manufacturer. the Canadian agrlculturiat or the Com- dlan worker to sit back and expect the blessings of heaven to come

Iiusl May Cut Vlesiern Wheat 80 Million Bus.

WINNIPEG (CP) - Western Can- ada's ripening wheat crop may be cut by more than 80,000,000 bushels this year by rust. I wind-borne fungus that saps the strength of growing plants.

This was indicated Thursday by two Winnipeg rust authorities.

Dr. F. J. Greaney, director of the Line Elevators farm service. said following a survey of western Canada that the Prairies might yield only 400,000,000 bushels of wheat rather than the 487,000,000- bushel estimated Aug. 13 by the federal bureau of statistics. Last year's crop was 584,000,000 bush- els-thlrd successive crop of more than 500,000,000 bushels. Dr. T. Johnson. supervisor of the federal laboratory of plant pathol- osy. said it is too early to ac- curately estimate the rust's effect on yield but it could easily equal or even exceed the record year of 1935 when 87,000,000 bushels of grain were lost to rust. HEAVY L058 CERTAIN Dr. Johnson said losses from rust. particularly leaf rust, will greatly exceed rust losses western farmers have suffered in any year since 1935. Leaf rust infection is widespread, extending from Manitoba to east- ern Albtrta. In Saskatchewan, in a strip about 100 miles wide from Estevan northwest to North Bat- tleford-Lluydrnlnster. leaf rust de- stroyed the leaves of Thatcher and other susceptible varieties about three weeks before the crop would have been ready for harvest. Cool, wet weather earlier re- tarded crop growth. giving the rust more chance to develop, especially in the Carrot river val- ley of Saskatchewan. Durum wheat has suffered much more from stem rust than bread wheat, with many fields destroyed before any kernels were formed. Durum samples in Manitoba are grading too low for macaroni man- ufacture. Plant scientists are striving con- tinually to develop new grains cap- able of resisting rust. One of the most recently developed-Se1kIrk- still is not available in large enough amounts for general use. Stocks are being built up by 23,000 farmers who obtained six bushels each for planting small plots.
