Premier Frost to Retire in Sept. Frorn The Peterborough Review cornes an interesting article which, if frue, could provide provincial Liberals with inspiration and hope. However, simlar stonies have been appearing froni reliable sources for many years, but the facts have neyer borne out the predictions. Here is the article as it appeaned: -"If a political birdie who nested in our ear is correct you'll see big changes ini the Ontario Government cerne the fail. The changes: the retirement in September o! Premier Leslie M. Frost, appointment of an interini premier and what could be a wide open battle fer the leadership by Ontario Tories. "It's ne secret Premier Frost and bswife want to get out of politics. He'll be 65 in September and feels he'd like to live out the remaining years of his iffe away froni the rough and tumble, heartbreaking and demanding job of Ontario's number one citizen. "Our source gave us the rundown and said it is certain, not just talk. In lune for the temporary premier until a Aew leader is picked is Hon. James Allan, provincial treasuren. But he won't go for permanent leadership be- cause retirement is just anound the corner for bum. "Who'll be the new leader? If you Msten closely you can hear the brain wheels turning here, there and every- where. Hon. John Robarts, minister o! education, is hinted as the eager suc- cessor but don't ceunt out other Tory banner-carriers. "Battle for the leadership could turn the air blue. Once a leader is picked look for an Ontario election probably in 1962. "The outcome could be a shift of power. The provincial Liberal Party is wonking day and night and hope the 44people" figure it's tume for a change after more than 20 years of Tories. "But befone that happens Leslie Miscampbell Frost will retire. And in one rnan's opinion we think it'll be a sorry thing. The Grits-Libenals, that is.-have done everything in their power to brand him with bad marks but in oun books he has been net only a great Ontario man but a great Canadian. "A shrewd politician, an able ad- ministraton, a wise counsellor, and one of Canada's top citizens, he bas made tremendous contributions net only te Ontario but, to Canada. For years he has served Ontario. He's taken the insults, the grîpes and all the rurnor- talk that gees with politics but the facts point te one peint: he bas been good for Ontario. Mn. Frost, in our book, you deserve a rest and the right to enjoy in peace the future." N ot Reverend, Please We have long winced at those people who insist on calling ministers "Reverend", wnites Editon Roy Cornish in The Trentonian. As a matter o! good English, and courtesy, we have long made it a point to refer to ministers as Rev. J. J. Jones, and then in subsequent 'eferences to refer te theni as Mn. Jones. For the word Reverend is an adject- Ive, net a title. Stnictly speaking the Lerm should be written eut thus: The Reverend J. H. Jones, and if an initial is lacking, the Reverend Mn. Jones. - Thus we sympathize with Rev. John -4LI,,vell, writing in the Anglican Chunch News, who begs "Stop calling me Reverend!" He justly points out that the terni Reverend should always be followed by the minister's initials, Christian name, or the term Mister. The adjective is affixed to the min- ister's name as a descriptive terni, de- noting that he is set apant te the work o! the niinistry. In direct address, he needs nothing more than te be called Mn. Jones, on, if the occasion is suf- ficiently informal, John Jones. It is difficult te break incorrect habits, but this is one we should all stnive te correct, since the misuse o! the word Reverend is a never-ending source of embarrassment te niinistens. Se fan as we at The Statesman are concerned, we do our best te use the correct terminology for the clergy, but actually don't worry toc much about it and can't understand why some min- istens are se bothened. When the news- papers and their congregation membens stop calling theni "Reverend" is the tume te really start worrying. One Every Ninety Minutes One person will be killed on 'Çanadian highways every heur and a haï! this Labeur Day weekend if last year's record is duplicated, wanns the AIl Canada Insurance Federation. The last long weekend this ycan will be the most dangerous according te the records cf the AIl Canada Insurance Federation. The Federation, which tepresents more than 220 Canadian fine, automobile and casualty insurance companies, makes these safety sug- gestions which are particularly valuable te those contemplating long trips over the holiday weekend. 1. Take long trips in easy stages; don't tny te travel toc fan in any one day. 2. Avoid fatigue by stopping often for coffee or by changing drivers. 3. Avoid the main tra.ffic arteries *herever possible. 4. If you are tired, but can't stop ovennight, pull te the side o! the road and cat-nap until you are nested. 5. When travelling with children, take plenty o! books and quiet games se they will net create ncisy distractions for the driver. 6. Study in advance the different driving rules o! strange cities where you may be dniving. 7. If you bave a blowout or othen mechanical failune, continue slowly until you can pull completely off the highway. 8. Set eut flares when making re- pairs on the highway at night; don't block other drivers' view cf your car lights. 9. Keep your speed within safe limits, especially on wet highways. 10. When in doubt, yield the right o! way te the other driver. ~be 0afl4bxa» ~t~1tt~m4n Durham Couny a Great Family Journal Establlalzed 106 Yeats aqo in 1854 Aloo Incorporating The.
