Mclntyre Hood for a new post in London, England. SOther than for com- parative newcomers to this area, there is little need ta explain Sthat Mr. Hood is the 1 editorial page editor of the Oshawa Times- Gazette. He has beld more post and many moeimportant ones during bis long resi- dence in Oshawa. Un- fortunately, a series of ilinesses a few years ago forced him ta relinquisb some of the more arduous duties. His body just refus- eto keep Up witb bis most fertile brain and bis insatiable desire ta be of service ta his cammunity. "Mac" bas been a good friend of The Canadian Statesman and is a colleague we shall miss. We were pleased ta learn that he will continue ta write for the Times- Gazette. His new position will be as chief of the London, England, bureau and Lon- don correspondent for the Thomson news- papers in Canada. His many friends and acquaintances will wish him every bappiness in his new endeavour. McIntyre Hood is an out- standing newspaperman who bas given much ta bis profession and mucb more tban most riti4ens ta bis country and bis commuity. For the f irst time in many montbs, we were pleased' ta have a chat this week with the sitting provincial member for Durham, Hon. Major John W. Foote. His many friends will be bappy ta know tbat be looks well after a rather unpleasant winter during whicb be bas been ill a great deal of the time. Our conversation deait with many problems concerning the county and this commun ity and we gained information which is passed along for the benef it of aur readers. One controversial question on which Major Foote assured us some action could be expected was the rather bazardous entrances ta the Village of Orono. Appar- ently, since Higbway 115 was completed, the abrupt cutoffs at bath the south and riorth end of Orono bave resulted in a traffic bazard. Major Foote stated that he bas been in direct contact with the Minister of Highways on several occasions in an effort ta have tbis situation corrected and that recently the Minister assured him he would look into the matter. A team of lgteel affects the lives and pocketbooks of everyone li tbe country. That is why Canadians everywhere believe that this country'. important steel industry would be acting in the public interest if it held the line on wages in the face of demands put forward by the United Steelworkers' Union. Higber wages for steel workers wil mnean higher prices for automobiles. Higb- er wages for steel workers will mean higber prices for all kinds of housebold appliances. Higher wages for steel workers wil increase the cost of transportation. Rail- ways are big users of steel. Sa is higb- way trucking. Farm implements are It must have been a surprise ta many Canadians ta have read in the press last week that Rev. Dr. James S. Thomson, eminent Canadian theologian, was report- ed to have said that Canada sbould be neutral in any future global war. Deep bumanitarian considerations, which led Dr. Thomson ta this conclusion, are under- standable. He rightly regards war, under present-day conditions, as the ultirnate disaster that can befail mankind. Neutrality, however, is flot likely ta save Canada from disaster sbould war break out on a global scale. Kremlin atheists, who recognize no moral values and who treat every pledge as a scrap of paper, would be unlikely ta respect canada's neutrality, even if« this country were ta declare it.

On one other point, tbe cloverleaf at the western approach ta Bowmanville, there still was no sign of any impending action. Apparently, tbe tremendous pres- sure from ail over the province for road work bas put Bowmanville in a low category in this regard. There Just isn't enough money available for ail the work that should be done, was Major Foote's comment. This is indeed regrettable, because the cloverleaf would bave been a tremendous asset ta add ta Bowmanviile's attractions and ta mark its Centennial year. As we intend sending- a copy of this editorial ta tbe Minister of Higbways, we can only add that the people of Bowman- ville would be most appreciative if he and bis advisers wouid reconsider their decision and make a start this year. The claver- leaf is needed for the benefit of towns- people and should have been taken care of when Higbway 401 was originally con- structed. Ca nadian Costs Too Canada is a country trying ta build Up its own industries, but it is still dependent on foreign trade, and still vitally needing ta remain campetitive in tbe world. Bath domestic and foreign expart -industries depend on maintaining a bealtby level of costs. We know there is hardly anytbing which we could not produce for ourselves if we did not mid wbat It cost. Mast Canadians are quite ready ta pay some extra cost ta get bame-produced goads. But if this extra grows beyond a certain point, then we are heading into real trouble. igb The unbappy facts leave no passible daubt that aur cost structure is building up ta the danger point. It is already a mare seriaus problem than most of the political issues that sanie people are getting excited about. Witbin the last year, the average out- put of each industrial worker bas dropped by at least 351. For a bealtby econamy we ought ta be able ta caunt on an annual increase of about 217. Yet at the same time average wages bave rîsen about 6%7. These were honoured in their genera- tions, and were tbe glary of their times. made mainly of steel. Higher wages for steel workers will rnean higber costs for farmers and higber food prices for con- sumers. Higber wages for steel workers won't increase purcbasing power. Rather, the resuit would be a furtber sbrinking in the purchasing power of every Canadian. Higher wages for steel workers could mean fewer jobs for Canadians. Steel workers' wages are already amang the bighest in Canada. Any furth- er increase in costs because of excessive wage demands could anly resuit in jeopardizing the future of tbe steel industry and its thousands of émplayees, and the chances of recovery from tbe recession. prospect'of a policy of neutrality, which wauld be a repudiation of aur solemn pledge of mutual defence with the United States and other members of the Nortb Atlantic Alliance. Wbatever differences rnay ruff le Canadian-U.S. relations, the United States is the greatest bastion of defence for Western civilization against Soviet com- munism 's objective of world conquest. Fate of Canada, were U.S. defences weak- ened, or U.S. isolated, as cammunists wish, from ber frierids and allies, would be no better than that of Hungary. A Boy A boy is a bank where you may deposit your mast preciaus treasures-the bard-won wisdom, the dreams for a better world. A boy can guard and pratect these, and perbaps invest them wisely and win a profit-a profit larger tban you ever dreamed. A boy will inherit your world. Al your work will be judged by him. To.- morraw he will take your seat in Parlia- ment, own your company, run your town. The future is his, and througb him, the future is yaurs. Perhaps he deserves a little more of your attention now. -Anonymous Observations and Opinions Greatness is only by camparison; a ship looks buge at dock, but tiny at sea.

Mm. and Mrs. Sim Pcniound, Mark, Todd, Lee and Clare; Reply to an Open Letter From Newcastle Folk -à Drafted by School Bd. Some consideratian was given by the Durham District High School Board, Wednesday, April 16, on the options for the pur- chase of land in the Orono area for the erectian of a new school. The meeting was their regular April ,meeting which was held in the Orono High School. Mr. R. R. Waddell, a member of the site committee outlined the seven parcels of land on which options had been taken. He described the location of these parcels and also stated the price that was being asked for them. The majarity of the Board members had viewed these sites a number of weeks ago. Three of the sites were chosen on wbich further investigation is ta be held. These three sites are the property of Mr. Lawrence Hooey, nortb af the Cemetery; the parcel af Mr. Donald Staples, south of Orono, west of 115 and east af the County Road, and the parcel of land north af the Fair Grounds in the Village of Orono. A motion was passed by' Messrs. Tamblyn and Tramner that the Department o! Health investigate these three sites as ta suitability for water and sew- age disposal and ta report their findings ta the next Board meet. ing. The motion carnied. The secretary was instructed to write the Department ta se- cure deta ils on the propen pro. cedure ta be followed in pro. cessing the ncw school. Mr. Clarence Allin asked if any consideration was ta be given two sites which are locati, cd on the third and fourth line. Mn. Allun moved that these two sites, C. Glcnney's and A. Turn- er's, be considered and alsa that options be taken an them. Ne one seconded the motion. The Board also passed at the meeting a letter wbich 'was drafted as a reply ta tbe Open Letter addressed ta tbemn by a Citizens' Cammîttee from New- castle.
