Hemisphere Standard For Arms Is Sought Washington.

May 23. UP) The State, War and Navy Departments will seek quick Congressional action to set up an arms standardization program for the Western Hemisphere including Canada. Officials who asked not to be named said here President Truman has prepared a message to Congress asking the authority to establish the Military Co-operation Plan. The legislation to be sought will be identical with that the President requested last year. Under the proposed program, the United States would be enabled to sponsor the standardization of equipment, training and organization of the armed forces of Western Hemisphere Republics and Canada.

House and Senate Republican Leaders told a reporter the measure stands an "even chance" of passing. Mimico Bride's Rites To Be Held on Monday Orillia, Hay 23. In the little Mimico, church where she was married two weeks earlier, funeral services will be held Monday for blonde Christina Kettle-well while police probe circumstances surrounding her drowning last Tuesday near her honeymoon cottage. Discarding theories of four play, police said they were investigating possibility of suicide as they poked through the charred ruins of the five-room frame structure, destroyed by a fire of equally mysterious origin a few hours before the 22-year-old girl's body was discovered. Jack Kettlewell, her 28-year-old bridegroom of eight days, was home in Mimico, unable to account for a head injury and what hospital officials said were the effects of a drug that left him dazed in the burning building at Dinnertime Rapids on the Severn river.

He was dragged out by Donald Barrie, his close friend and business partner, who was sharing the honeymoon cottage. Medical examiners who examined the body said they found no marks of violence and no trace of drugs. Both Kettlewell and Barrie said they did not smoke or drink. Police said there were no suspects in the case and that their investigations might continue for some time. All possible angles, including the suicide possibility would be checked.

Appropriately enough the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire has chosen "Empire Day," tomorrow for formal opening ceremonies of its annual meeting here, when "Empire" will form the keynote of discussions during the general sessions to continue the greater part of next week. Delegates and members from across Canada have gathered for the convention of this world-renowned body, which was founded in Montreal at the turn of the century as a "women's patriotic and philanthropic organization." Since that time it has developed along several lines and has worked extensively in such fields as education, Empire study, immigration and Canadianization. and in a variety of wartime activities during both World Wars. Most of the order's 911 primary chapters, extending from remote sections of Nova Scotia, to the distant Yukon, are represented at this year's meeting.

"It is wonderful to meet members from all Provinces of our Dominion and to express our views," said Mrs. R. E. Smale, of Regina, president of the Saskatchewan Provincial Chapter. "I find in fundamentals our hopes and ambitions are the same and we are proud to be interpreters of the British Empire from the Atlantic to the Pacific." Among I.O.D.E.

members attending the convention are: Mrs. Bruce Ritey and Mrs. K. L. Dawson, Halifax; Mrs.

A. T. Murray and Mrs. B. B.

Barnes, Fredericton; Mrs. George Whtie and Mrs.K. I. Campbell, Saint John, N.B.; Mrs. Randolph Parker, Moncton, N.B.;Miss Mae Barwick, Montreal.

This is an appeal to benevolent Montrealera to include in their Wills a bequest in the following terms: "I bequeath to the Art Astociation ot Montreal the sum of dollars." which marked Canadian progress from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. He was assisted in his work by Kenneth H. Holm-ticn of Montreal. The first panel shows a scene near Saint John, N.B., in 1778, two years after 12,000 Empire Loyalists began their epic Journeys into Canada following the outbreak of the American Revolution. A newly-arrived Loyalist family has been landed on the shores of the bay, and is being allotted its holdings.

A British officer points out on a map the boundaries of their new home. "The Home the subject of the second mural, portrays a Highland family, one among a tide of 403,000 hardy nation-builders who, in the twenty years 1813-1834, poured into 'British America' in a steady stream up the St. Lawrence to Lake Ontario. The family is building a home-stottd. using a covered wagon as temporary shelter until their cabin is completed.

In another mural, "The Fur-Traders," the artist has shown traders from Montreal visiting an OJIbway encampment on the Ottawa River. The ypar is 1790, midway In the period when fur was Canada's wealth and the fur-traders venturesome founders of Canadian commerce rolled back the frontiers in their competitive voyages of exploration and discovery. The panel shows a buckskin-clad interpreter haranguing the chief of the tribe, whose furs are being bartered for a bolt of red cloth. On the right stands a canoe-man. The fourth mural, "In Hudson Bay," treats an event leading to the founding of a company.

In 16C8 Chouart des Groseilliers sailed the Nonsuch into the mouth of a great river flowing into James Bay and established a sea route directly to the fabulous fur trade of the North-West. Unable to return to England that year, the ship's company built a rude fort and called it Fort Chnrlcs. The mural shows des Groseilliers trading with the Cree Indians who visited the fort to exchange their furs for knives, hatchets, iron pots and the like. "Jacques Cartier," the final mural, illustrates the moment when, on August 14th, 1534 at Gaspe Peninsula, the intrepid explorer erected a great thirty foot wooden cross and pronounced a benediction as he rlnimed for France this fertile land. His followers kneel, while some Indians look on.

In the background Cartier ship, the Grand Hermine, lies at anchor. training courses that have been carried on at the Children's Art Centre. The Gallery, however, is offering the Gallery premises and the Art Centre, free of charge, to the Provincial Education Department for activities that the Department may from time to time decide to carry on in replacement of the Gallery classes. The Gallery will continue its educational classes for children of members and its other educational activities specifically related to its collection and exhibitions, which are particularly directed to adults and young people in the undergraduate and secondary school groups. This, however, does not provide for the continuation of the services of the Art Gallery to the community such as recreation and training courses and social agencies at the Art Centre.

The classes which the Art Gallery is thus relinquishing were initiated during the presidency cf R. Y. Eaton, under the able direction of Dr. Arthur Lismer, whom the Gallery appointed as Educational Supervisor, and who was largely responsible for the training and efficiency of the staff which, has carried on so devoutedly since his departure some years ago. The work was greatly developed through the financial support of the Carnegie Corporation but, in accordance with its well-known policy, this support was given for a limited period in order to demonstrate the possibilities of the activities involved and in the expectation that local support would be forthcoming for their continuance if they were proved to be of value.

After the payments from the Carnegie Corporation ceased these classes were continued by the Art Gallery with some financial support from the Provincial Department of Education. The fundamental purpose involved in the operation of these classes was the experimental development of methods of instruction and techniques of recreational expression through art media, which could be carried into the school system of the Province and also into community and social centres. Much valuable work has been done in this field. The Gallery is glad to extend its co-operation in the future so as to assist in the attainment of the desired results, thus helping to preserve and expand the valuable development which the generosity of the Carnegie Corporation made possible. BRITISH INDUSTRY RECOVERY SHOWN Sir Frederick Bain Addresses World Trade Dinner at Vancouver By GUY S.

CUNLIFFE (Gazette Staff Reporter) Vancouver, May 23. Sir Fred-irlck Bain, addressing the World Trade dinner of the National Foreign Trade Conference here, gave a dynamic picture of the recovery of British industry from the severe setbacks inflicted on it by the war. A misleading picture of British industry's present position had been conveyed, he felt, by reports in U.S. newspapers and, to some extent, in Canadian publications. Actually more people are employed in U.K.

industry than in 1938, he said, but in plant and distribution of employment there is a severe disbalance and acute shortage of output in key industries. "The war has cost Britain years of handicap in regaining a competitive and outstanding position in world commerce," he declared. Whatever British industry might think of the Socialist policies of the present U.K. Government, Sir Frederick remarked, it was nevertheless regarded as "the King's Government" as long as it remained in office. But he recalled telling Sir Stafford Cripps, the president of the Board of Trade, that any move to rationalize the iron and steel industry would be regarded by industry as "criminal interference" with the post-war recovery of British industry as a whole, and would be opposed as such.

To illustrate the confidence of British industrialists in the future, he noted that his own company Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. was committed to outlay of on new sites, new processes and new Sir Frederick strongly urged action by Canada to open her "empty spaces, of unimaginable riches to the half starved peoples of Europe. BRITAIN TO RECEIVE TONS OF POTATOES P.E.I. Produce Will Leave Montreal Harbor Within Two Weeks Almost 7,500 tons of Prince Edward Island potatoes destined for Britain will be shipped out of Montreal harbor within the next two weeks. Since May 11, when the steamship Boston City cleared here with 1,457 tons, Montreal longshoremen have loaded 4,430 tons of table stock potatoes for the U.K.

Part of a movement for Britain, bulk, of which has already been shipped through Halifax and Saint John, N.B., the shipment from Montreal marks the first time any quantities of potatoes has been shipped through this port. Douglas Gillespie of Gillespie-Munro Forwarders who is representing the Potato Export Board of P.E.I., here, said the heavy movement marked the first time potatoes have been shipped to the U.K. "from any Canadian port fcr over 20 years." Destined for the British Ministry of Food, the potatoes are being shipped by the P.E.B. of Charlotte-town, P.E.I., through the Special Products Board at Ottawa. Quality of the potatoes is being supervised by Department of Agriculture inspectors from Montreal and P.E.I.

Transportation equipment is padded to prevent bruising and fumigated to guard against infection, Mr. Gillespie pointed out. Shipments still to be loaded here comprise 34,000 bags in the SS. Parthenia, which sails Sunday; bags in Beaverford, sailing May 30; and 70,000 bags aboard the Lord Gladstone which is scheduled to clear port June 5. Percy Tunnecliffe of the British Food Ministry's Potato Division, and M.

J. Griffin of the British Food Mission at Ottawa are supervising tho shipments. New industries -developed in India during or since the war include machine tools, heavy chemicals, plastics and medical supplies.

Jonathan Robinson, K.C., M.L.A., In the gallery of Robert Oliver, 1486 Sherbrooke street west, is an exhibition of paintings by John Humphries, Mary Grey Robinson, Margaret C. Thompson, Kathleen Chip-man Liebich, Frances B. Sweeny and Helen S. Wickenden. The show, which will remain open until June 7, is marked by evidence of much sincere endeavor.

Kathleen Liebich, who works in watercolor, besides manifesting her habitual fondness for flowers varicolored pansies in glasses or vases, yellow and red roses in a blue vase, red and white carnations, an Autumn bouquet which introduces crimson and purple asters and marigolds in a yellow and brown figured vase, and capitally handled roses in a dark bowl, also contributes a portrait and an autumn scene in which trees in orange leaf are seen beyond trees stripped of foliage. In her one winter scene she shows the rear of old houses on Mansfield street which makes an Interesting work. Frances B. Sweeny has two examples in oil "Birches on Mount in which the trees are mirrored in a pond, and has gay color notes in her anemones in a vase, but the bulk of her entries are in watercolor. Effective in ar-rangment and true in form is her naintine of rink tulins.

and. amoni? other flower items, her study of gladiolus is confidently handled. A sketch at Ambleside, with church, trees and rolling country, is a record of travel, and an old house at Varennes and a street in Caughna-waga make good subjects. Helen Wickenden works in oils and has a spirited painting of girls before easels in "Sketch A -woman seated under an archway with baskets of blooms nearby are the pictorial elements of "Roses for and her effectiveness with flowers is also evident in a painting of irises. She has a good subject in the old presbytery at Caughnawaga, and makes effective use of buildings in "Farm near St.

with lake and hills, and likewise in "Early Pasturage" where sheep cluster about a girl. Of the Laurentian country is "Mountain while about the city Verdun at twilight and a scene on the Back River have occupied her brush. Trees bending in the wind with the tower of a church in the background is a watercolor. Margaret Thompson has a group which indicates travel, one of her three watercolors dealing with mountainous country in Europe and the other a towering rocky height above water called "Mirror Lake, In oils she is effective ui "A- Passing in which the distant hills are blurred by rain, and sea breaking in foam on rocks features "South Shore, Bermuda" and "The Fisherman's Lake, island and mountains attracted her when clouds were lifting, and there is a good sense of distance in Mary Robinson, fond of the sea revealed in "Long Island Sound" and in "Blue Horizons, has found good material nearer at home the bush, snow and open water in "North River, St. the snow covered hills and house in "Sports Centre, Ste.

St. the red-roofed building edging a stream, and "Farmhouse, near St. with a man in the curving road, are good subjects, and there is action in the sea in "Chandler Bay.

John Humphries shows water-colors of typical cool color and precise treatment. In "Laurentian Homestead" he paints a characteristic country home and barn under snow, with a sleigh in the road, the only other example of the winter season being an oil called "Winter showing a bit of a village with its church in moonlight, a work of good arrangement and values. He has a fondness for Laurentian lakes in hilly settings, adding interest to the stretches of water with a distant sail. A lighthouse and a placid sea caught his eye at Casco Bay, and rougher water made an appeal in "Rocky Shore, South Kamouras-ka has supplied good subjects and picturesque bits at Ville La Salle and at St. Laurent have not been overlooked.
