No other method could be used which would provide such educat- ion to those who wish to take axl- vantage of it and in these days of intense rivalry and keen competit- ion your plan is mos! practical and beneficial.

Play It

By The Canadian Press

Canadians lucky enough to have them took long, hard 100k; at their $10 bills today.

From Montreal to Vancouver counterfeit bills turned up in stores and banks.

But some victims are wislng up rapidly. At the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto a few were passed last Saturday. However, concesslonaires now play it safe. Yesterday they refused to accept any $10 bills and sent the owners off to banks for change. '

So far, bogus bills have been reported from Ottawa, Carleton Place, Cornwall, Toronto, Hamil- ton, Niagora Falls, Fort Erie, Lon- don and Windsor in Ontario: Winnipeg. Montreal and Van- couver.

Search for the printing press which turned out the fake money

centres in the Toronto-Hamilton district. A Toronto police of- ficer said: “Certain information leads us to believe that the print- ing press and plates are only a short distance from Toronto for this city was made the distribut- ing centre."

However, biggest recovery of fake bills has been in the Great- er Vancouver area where 394 of them turned up. Two suspected members of the ring were charg- ed in Vancouver yesterday — Lloyd Presley, 28. with possession of and circulating counterfeit money; Eugene Lewis with pos- session.

SUTTON MALL-ET. Somerset, Bigland, Sept, ‘I — (OP) - Pbod of the Pharaohs of old Egypt may become part of lftrglsnd’: daily ration if an experiment taking place on a farm here proves suc- cessful.

It is the harvesting of wheat claimed to be directly descended from seeds unearthed in a tomb discovered in the eerie Egyptian Valley of Kings.

The seed had been sealed in the chamber for 7,000

mysterious years.

F. Newman Turner of Goose- green Farm, sowed seeds of the first Ienerstion of the strange variety given to him by Jean Pierre Geoffroy, a lirencbman touring western England.

Named "miris." the new variety is said to give a heavier yield than native varieties - about 20 sacks an_acre and average 10-15 branches to each single head. g

"Apparently the ancient Egypt- ians had something." Newman said, "for the new wheat seems healthier than our own and sup- erior to the standard grain cultiv- ated today."

Feuds Keep U. S. Philippines Air Base 0n _Alert

MANILA, Sept. 7 —(AP) -You might think a war was on frcm a quick look at Clark field air base, biggest United States military in- staliation in the Philippines. Sentry boxes at entrances to the base 55 miles north of Manila have been sandbagged. Armored cars and armored Jeeps patrol its 20- mile perimeter o1’ steel fence. Tight security is maintained by two squadrons of United States Air lilorce police and 600 Filipino civil- ian guards.

The reasons for these measures are feuds among law-enforcement agencies; disarmings and beatings of American military police; raids

There are no social service schools in Newfoundlnnd—the per- sonnel being drawn from the Maritime School.

Newfoundland Welcomed Into Church Sfiynod

By IRVING C. Wl-IYNOT Canadian Press Staff Writer

HALIFAX. Sept. 7 - (C!) — Newfoundland was admitted as the 28th Diocese of the Church of England in Canada today aa the church opened its 17th General Synod here.

The vote bringing Newfound- land into the Church was un- animous in both the upper and lower house.

Following the vote, Rt. Rev. P. Abraham, Bishop of Newfound- land, was informed of the deciaim, and welcomed to the Synod by Most Rev. George Frederick King- ston, Archbishop of Nova Scotln and Primate of all Canada.

Bishop Abraham said the move bringing his diocese into the Synod was "a very moving oc- casion." Invitations to join the Canadian Church had been made previously but had been declin- ed because the Newfoundland Diocese was not ‘ndependent.

"NO BARGAINING"

Evidently referring to negotia- iicns which brought Newfoundland into the Dominion as n 10th pro- vince March 31, he said there had been “no bargaining" to bring his Diocese into the Chureh-"as X believe there was in another place."

Admission of the Newfoundland diocese brings 100,000 Anglicans in the Island Province into the Can- adian church. The Diocese form- erly was part of the Church oi England. (The Church of Eng- land in Canada ls s completely autonomous body with no ties with the Church in England.)

Tonight, delivering his charge to the Synod, Archbishop King- ston called for "every person to join upto ‘make Christ King‘ in‘ international affairs, in na- tional policies, ln the economic and industrial areas, in the social realm, in the home and in the individual heart."

"Our responsibilities will ne- cessarlly increase as we are thrown more and more into the vortex of a most tragic world “We will not however, shrink back from what- ever actlcn may be necessary to defend the Church against the aggression of the state, and to up- hold the ideal of the Christian society against the Godless and worldly ideologies which have captivated so many human beings." Terming the lack ofhousing “one of the very serious situations to-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 -(CP)— Flnance Minister Douglas Abbott of Canada said today Canada, the United States and the United King- dcm must “go up or down togeth- er."

He told the British-Canadian- American Financial Conference that economic co-operation between the three countries was as import- ant as political co-operallon.

“If we really believe that," he said. “we have some real chance of finding a solution for the prob- lem before us-and possibly going on to something bigger.

"lf We don't, we might as well go home, and learn the hard way that it is true."

Ablbott said “aggressive Com- munism" had received a. set back by the signing of the Atlantic Pact. But Communists "hoped to regain that lost ground by exploiting the economic instability which they claim is inherent in our system."

"It is up to us here-and in what

these hopes and calculations are false."

The Canadian Finance Minister said Canadian prosperity depended on flourishing international trade. It was the principal supplier of the U.K. and the biggest customer of the U.S.

"we are therefore inevitably found in the middle of any squeeze which the United Kingdom finds in her dollar position, and we are one of the instruments through which the shock of such a squeeze is transmitted to the United States."
