Gov't_Screening National Film Board Employees

OTTAWA, Nov. 19 - (C?) -- Hlghly-secret defence department work is being kept away from the Government-owned National Film Board and is being handled bv the R.C.M.P., the Commons learned last night.

Under persistent probing from the Opposition, it was brought out that Film Board employees are be- ing screened to assure the Gov- ernment that it can safely entrust the Board with film-production work of a secret nature.

In tho meantime, such work would be handled for the Govern- ment by several companies.

The issue was raised by Doug- las Hurkness tPC-Caigflfy E1151) during Commons consideration of defence estimates.

Prime Minister St. Laurent, De- fence Minister Claxton and Re- construction Minister Winters took port in the extended discussions of screening in the Film Board and among other departments of Gov- ernment.

Mr. St. Laurent said he regretted that this matter of screening had been made public. He feared it might leave the impression that the Film Board was "under a cloud" as far as security was con- cerned He didn't. think the public discussions of this matter were in the "public inicrr-st".

Mr. Clnxton sold the volume of secret film work wns small. It hail been done for tho Government dur- ing the war and since by small companies such as Crowley Films of Ottawa and Associated Screen News of Nlontrenl.

Earlier this year it had been dc- clded that. this work should bc (ions hy the National Film Board, a government agency. However, be- fore the secret work could be turtlori over to the Board, the employees must be investigated to assure that the secrecy would be maintained.

This screening now Wns in pro- cess. Mr. Claxton said that. as soon as the pcreenlng was finished, the secret work would be turned over to the Board.

During the discussions, Mr. St. Laurent unfolded a story of how tho R.C.'M.P. has been enlisted in investigate all departments of gov- ernment in which secret matter is handled.

Early Career

Henry Keene Symonds Humming was born in Montreal on Sept. 26, 1859. His father. Henry Hamming. kept the books of the ocmpany then constructing the Victoria Bridge at Montreal which was completed and opened by the Prince of Wales. 1n.t~ er Edward VII, in 1060. Young Harry Herrming was then s. year old. Judge Dunkin, a cousin who soon afterwards was prominent as one of the Fathers of Confederation, obtained a post for him in the Que bec Provincial Treasury. Thus Har- ry was brought up in Quebec apart from his boarding school years st North Hartley. He studied st Mor- rin College, and obtained his BA. degree from MoGill in 1880. During his summer holidays he joined a party setting out on a map-making survey of what today is the Prov- ince of Alberta.

After graduation Mr. Hamming entered the Bank of Montreal. Ow- ing to increasing deafness, however. he decided that there was ho fut- uic for iii-m in banking, so after a short while in Montreal he joined his brntlirr in busin-ess in Toronto. Later he formed his own firm, the Iicmlmillg Manufacturing Company.

In 1907i he removed to Montreal. null ten ycnrs later he amalgamated with three other firms to form the Cuundion Jewelers. Ltd. Soon after- wards he gave up manufacturing. and, like his father before him. bo- camc an auditor and accountant. practising in Montreal rind later in (ii1l\l'i'lTil"§O\\'ll until his retirement a ielv years a80-

Reclproclfy Issue

All through his life Mr. Hem- ming was: a. Conservative and firm- ly convinced of the value of the Im- perial tic. 1n 1911 when the Hon. W. S. Fielding, then Finance Min- lster, proposed a reciprocity treaty with ihc United States. Mr. Hem- ming felt very keenly on the sub- ject. lle wrote s. series of artlclest showing the harm he considered reciprocity would do-toCanadiun manufgcturnfg by forcing them to cQmpPle with the much more high- ly developed industry in the United States.

5i,- flugh Graham, later lord Atholstnn. proprietor of the Mont- real Daily Star, was so impressed with this exposition of the Did)- lem that ilc- published the entire series. and at the conclusion was in- strumentnl in forminK Ill Ah"- Reciproeliy 1.088110. Meetinfl hi which Mr. Hemmlng was a con- vlncing speaker‘ were held all over the country. The Government was fumed to amen! to the electorate 0n the rooxiprtogtv Issue. and was heavily d9 9B t‘ -

Throughout his career Mr. I-lcm- ming was interested in W51“; l!‘ fairs. at» was knOWIl to t u! people who had never met him per- sonally owing to his letters to the ediwr or whatever newspaper was in sympathy with the cause he had at hem-p H, spent n. great doll of thought and time on these letters, reading widely ill "I!"

lnteresting ‘ Account 0f Horse Show

The following is an interesting account of the horse show at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto contained in a letter received loc- ally, which gives a highly descrlp. tlve account of the event and should be of much interest to local horse lovers.

Attended the Royal Winter Fair Horse Show last night, and Lhmlllilt Perhaps you might like to i198!‘ a bit about it. Doubltess you have been to many of these shows but here are my impressions.

Arrived at the Fair grounds about 7.45, and the place was sim- Piy swarming with cars and poo- Dle. The arena. where the Horse Show is held is positively huge. 1t holds thousands of pfloplg’ and ""1! Beat W116 filled and many had to stnnd_

We saw five classes judged. The Single Heavy Express, 1500 1'35. or over, had seven entries and was W0" by E/lmny Boy (my choice. in- 61451158113’) of Sunshine Dairy Ltd.

To me. the second class __ Miiig- ary "Handy" Course was most thrilling. There were sixteen horsescntercd in this, four from the Chlleil" Army team . four from the Mexican Army team, and fum- each from the Republic of Ireland team and Canadian equestrian team. Four horses came through with clean performances two from the Mexican team, and two Chilean horses and these foul‘ ll.\d to go over the course again with the jumps raised 4 inches. No com- petitor was allowed more than one minute and is seconds to complete the course. It was quite exciting and the Mexican horses finished on top. Noticed that the Chilean horses are a bit smaller and finer boned than the others

Then came s. class of Harness Ponies, 13 hands, 2 inches and un- der which was won by Aisa Wren and Dufierin Pal of. the Dufferln Stock Farina. Little Vanity and His Sister, owned and driven by Mary Jane MoGrath, received quite an ovation from the crowd and placed fourth.

Will Dheck lip 0n Dommon Draw

An investigation to determine whether the common crow is the friend or enemy of the Tanner in Prince Edward Island is being planned for the next two years by the Dominion Wild Life Service, Mr. Harry obster, Dominion Wild Lite oiif cer of the Mari- timcs informed The Guardian last evening.

In conjunction with this study the investigation will fry to de- termine to what extent the crow preys on the nests of migratory and other birds.

Such investigations have been carried out in many parts of North America. Recently in the prairie provinces the findings were in favour of the crow, and from the results farmers urged that the bouniics on thess birds be discon- tinucd—especially in the grass- hopper areas and where certain types of cutworms are a problem.

More thanJwo-thirds of the animal food of the crow, or about one-fifth of its whole diet, con- sists of insects. Many of these arc the most destructive agricultural pests, it was found.

Mir. Webster has not only been making plans for this investiga-

which he hopes may be carried out by plane. It is expected that the inventory this year may show a substantial increase throughout North America, if the reports of the hunters in Prince Ffdward Is- land and the Maritimcs generally can be used as an indication, he stated.

‘Mr. Webster spoke at the meet- ing of the Fish and Game Associa- tion last Friday. He also paid a visit to the Black Pond Sanctuary.

OTTAWA, Nov. 19 -(CP)- A YIVHIOTnt defence program spear- headed by the R.C.A.F. in its role as "essential service" in the defence 0f Capada was urged in the Com- mons yesterday by Mai-Gen. GR. Pwkes. v.c.. former Pacific Coast Oiflhflllladvr.

The Progreasive Conservative meuniber for Nanalmo challenged the Defence Department lo throw of! what he described as its "slav- ish adherence to the C.E.F. corn. Ne)“.

This complex was based on the premise that in the event of war Canada would have the time to train an expeditionary force while other armies held off the enemy.

Gen. Pearkes recommended this program:

1. A fully-manned md equipped IlEhter-interoeptor network must be made ready.

2. The Government should un- dertake to lee that the air force would have adequate reserve foi- re. placements and qtuds expansion in the event of war.

3. Active garrisom should bo mobilized by the umy to defend the strategic areas of the north.

4. Either a center or land-based aircraft should be pmvided to pro- tect the now-vulnerable Pacific frontier.

5. Reserve army units should he trained to concentrate upon pm. tecting the great industrial centres of Canada. in which they are stat- ioned.

Gen. Pearkes said further that he is in agreement with the Gov- ernment policy of extending its radar nebwurk as an early warning protective system across, the Canad- ian mrth.

Defence Minister Claxton said he found the suggestions by Gen. Peartea unrealistic.

He estimated the oolt of the pro- pOsed program would be $600,000,000 a year for five years.

Mr. Claxton said he was fully in agreement on the importance of the role to be played by the Air Itvrce. But there was only a certain amount o! money that could be spent on defence.

Gen. Peas-ices bad suggested that the patio of spending should be $3 on the Air Ybrce for every $1. on the anmy.

‘Mr. Claxtoin said this could only be accomplished by "almost wiping out" either the Army or Navy or at the least. "cutting them right to the bone."

At present more than 38 per cent of every dollar was being spent on the Air Force.
