wsoussmvfluna 971954 Congested Highways May Lead People Back to Trains Will clogged highways result in people taking to trains for pleasure jaunt The question is raised by The Sudbury Star which asks Has the wheel completed its turn in the loss of revenue passengers by the railways Will the diesel horn lure the weary traveller away from the raucous blast of an impatient motorist Continuing The Star says Clogged high ways on the Victoria Day holiday in which one and onehalf hours was the elapsed time to travel the 25mile stretch between Barrie and Orillia may turn the traveller from the nervewracking dustchoked fumefilled highway to the restful clean liness of the railway coach There was time when the call of the road merited all the finely turned phrases that are to be found in verse and song There was time when pleasure driving was recognized as something distinct from business driving transportation When man took his family out for pleasure driving he would rarely exceed 35 miles an hour He soaked in the new greenery of the spring season joked over the frisking lambs in the wayside fields noted the prosperity or poverty of the farms and slowed down to read the sign that read Fresh Eggs For Sale beside the farm gate The man who engaged in business driv ingb was the travelling salesman hurrying from town to town andcity to city He breezed right along with his mind on con tracts and commissions and later in the friendly chatter of the hotel lounge could boast how he pushed the gas pedal right to the floor to keep an appointment on time Where is the pleasure in driving bumperto bumper to cover 25 miles in 90 minutes It is not much faster than brisk walking It means 90 minutes of breathing smoke and gas fumes and severe trial of nerves and senses Even the highway loses its allure with an edgingof trash thrown from passing cars Arrive at your destination rested and relaxed Not by travelling over our modern highways on weekends and holidays What is the answer Perhaps it is to be found in new highway engineering and new traffic control thinking Perhaps the an swer is in twin highways between main central points with aged machines and slow drivers confined to one highway and the speedier traffic designated for the sep ond highway On the other hand the solution might be found in twin highway system that will permit only oneway movement of traffic Experience has proved that the divided highway such as the Queen Eliza beth Way in Southern Ontario doesnt have the 25 miles in 90 minutes kind of driving experience As Others See Us Noel Coward is reported to have said on viewing Niagara Falls for the first time that it would be far more impressive if it went the other way As cynicism the remark is merely amusing But it shows the value of an unusual approach to ktimeworn subject Among the thousands of newcomers ar riving in this country every year there are many liVely minds that can be held up as fimirrors to Canada First impressions cap immigrant can tell us things about our ivselves that we tend to overlook through ifamiliarity or disregard for fear of being branded egoistic Many Canadians have recently shown themselves disturbed by what the world has come to know as the North American Way not life the restless search for an unknown Equantity the snowballing rush ofprogress isWhen the New Canadian walks through his ig first weeks in his adopted country his brain lworkslike the photoimpressiVe film of movie camera Before the record becomes obliterated by Canadianization it makes interesting study young Britonwho landed at Halifax recently was surprised by the serious ap proach of Canadians tothe business of liv ing He found them apparently yisorbed in cars holises and business opportunities in that order These impressions were modi fied as time passed In Britain men and women are more placid They make early choice of pro fession or trade and usually seek promotion within the company that first recruited them in the town where they were born So he was startled by the unconfined em ployment frontiers of Canada where man will start earning as taxidrlver graduat ing through logging building Journalism and salesmanship to market garden or company presidency He found Canadian children carefree selfreliant and outspoken to an unusual degree He wondered how they grew through uninhibitedadolescence into quiet well mannered and poised young men and women with an intelligent interest in their sur roundings He marvelled at the flamboyant girl teenagers who appear to pass through chrysalis stage into wellgroomed Canadian women who he says are smarter in toto than the women of any country in Europe Editorial Notes Highway 93 many parts north from Crown Hill to Waverley is in bad shape Residents along the way and motorists who have to use it are complaining with reason As one correspondent says Surely something can be done about it The report from the secretary of the board that much damage is being done by gangs of youths in our parks should bring action The best way to stop this vandalism is to impose stiff fines and costs on those responsible Citizens should report inci dences at once to the police Prime cause of most accidents is bad manners comments The London Free Press Speed drinking and lack of skill play their part but in the majority of cases it is be cause some driver refuses to recognize other peoples rights He must get there first even if he has to take chances There is very little chance that the On tario government will allow the sale of beer and wine in grocery stores No public approval is in sight for widening the outlet Conservation will depend upon the Co operation of every citizen points out the Farmers Advocate of London JIGovern merits can enact laws and organizations can conduct campaigns yet in the long run what matters most is the behavior of the people while at work and at play The farmer at work on his land the timber oper ator taking off the annual cut the man and boy with rod and gun all individually and collectively determine what our conserv ation effort will amount to and what the end results will be OPINIONS OF OTHERS Social Security The Printed Word common misconception of the times is that governments invented social security The truth of the matter is that governments got into the seeial security usiness only when they realized the political kudos to be derived from baby bon uses old age pensions and the like In Canada today the vast bulk of existing social security is provided not by government but by private enterprise Life insurance accident and Sicknms health insurance old age pensions and an infinite variety of social security benefits are provrded for those who want them by competent experienced and prudent businessmen The flexi bility of these private social security schemesis far greater their cost in the final analysis far les than the kind of social security peddled in exchange for votes by the politicians Grey induiry Cancelled Durham Chronicle People throughout Grey County Were horrified and shocked when they learned the nature of charges in connection with officials at the county home at Markdale The Chronicle carried mild report but those interested in more intimate details should read the OWen Sound Herald lt The editor of The Hanover Post called upon womens groups to take up campaign for the protection of old people confined to the home Mrs Sinclair Webb of Chaisworth said religious organizations Were able to mobilize thelrresources quickly enough whenever the liquor question was concerned But in the case of old folks in the home she referred to church people emulating the Pharisees who passed by onthe other side When the 41 reeves and deputy

CHARLEB TAYIDR News Editor HARE COOPER Hanoiintentions Vv wkti WM JENmu audience in American Legion Honda Oh nol Here comes another First Haircutl Troubles of Tobacco Industry Simcoe Reformer After starting out with the car marks of an uneventful year one that would be free from contro versy and criticism the tobacco in dusiry in Southern Ontario now appears headed for plenty of diffi culiy It started with buyer members of the Ontario Fluecured Tobacco Marketing Board for equal representation on the board This demand was vig orously opposed by the 1grower members reaching the point where two of them temporarily tendered their resignations only to with draw them laier Finally compromise was reach ed subject to approval by the as sociations annual meeting where by only seven of 14 grower direc tors will have voting power during the coming year while in the fol lowing year lhe growers will elect only seven members No doubt this compromise will provoke con siderable debate at the annual meeting Meanwhile more alarming de velopment is the demand of the Combines Act administrator at Ot tawa for copies of the associations constitution and bylaws with view to determining whether there is reason for investigation under that act the demand of Demand Precipitated This demand was precipitated by the action ofa number of independ ent growers who evidently were netitled by failure of the association to take them into membership and by action of the board in deferring the sale of their crops last year until January last No doubt the inquiry by the tawa officials will extend overfl considerable period but in the meantime it gives cause for some alarm in the tobacco belt as the association today is regarded gen erally as bulwark of the flue cured industry Any action to un dermine the association or to de siroy the powers which it has cnv joyed could only be regarded as calamity in Southern Ontario Apart from these two develop ments there is some misgivings among the industrys leaders as to the boards wisdom in having re stored full acreage growing rights this season to the growers In other words the oneihlrd cut oil the 1952 season and the onequarter cut of last year have been abolish ed in favor of allout production Planting Largest Acreage The net result is that the grow ers are planting the largest acreage in the industrys history Inde pendent growers are reported to be planting large acreage while many new farms have come into being An estimated two thousand new tobacco kilns are in process of erection With favorable weather the 1954 fluecured crop in all districts may well run to 175000000 pounds by far the largest production ever at tained in the Ontario tobacco belt The buying companies which stand in need of large supplies of leaf to replenish their stocks were largely responsible for the decis ion to throw acreage wide open al though the increasing consumption of cigarettes in Canada and the prospect of larger export market in Great Britain played part in the decision flope for Ready Market It is hoped that all of these pros pects will materialize and that ready market for fluecured leaf will be found for the anticipated record output Otherwise the Marketing Board will assuredly have another serious problem on its hands to add to the difficulties which it is already facing Judging by what has transpired in the postwar years there is just no hope for peace and harmony in the tobacco industry We can only wish Chairman Fred Cunningham and his associates full measure of courage and wisdom in dealing with these besetting problems The Barrie floriiculiurul Society GARDEN NOTES By JEAN GABLE WE WERE VERY pleased in deed to receive the kind invita tion from Mrs Firth of Big Bay Point to visit her garden and have any of our readers do so WAS OUT to visit this splen did array of flowers and found quite few readers had beat me there am sure they were as delighted as was only the dark ness drove me away THIS GARDEN is so interest ing because almost everything in it is grown from seed by the owner Not only that but in some plants Mrs Firth has been picking the choice seed from new plants each year for 10 years and the resulisare much finer plants WHILE THE SEASON for early rock plants is nearly over still her primroses werelovely in all shades They were such velvety shada they reminded me of the wall flowers in my fathers garden in BC Mrs Firth gets most of her seeds from England She has large estate and is able to give her plants room OF PARTICULAR interest was new Oriental poppy which is now registered under the name Suzanne after one of Mrs Firths grand children This poppy is lovely pink and has real stiff stem that doesnt flop it THERE WERE MANY Shasta Daisies grown from seed and also lovely new shade of Mauve Arabis which will certainly be nice addition as so far Arabis is only available in whitedouble and single Mrs Firth is con templating letting some nursery buy her new originations and

Barrie Examiner Dear Sir should like to com ment on short item concerning CBC finances which appeared in recent issue of your newspaper refer to the statement In the re centlyended fixal year CBC marked up $2503118 deficit on TV operations also radio loss of something like 53000000 This erroneous statement appear cd in several papers across the country and so was obviously sup plied by news source which did not check its facts The source was wrong by $6000000a fairly sub stantial error Instead of an alleged radio loss of something like the CBC in faci had SURPLUS of approximately $3000000 Consequently CBCs net surplus for both radio and television was about 5400000 fr the period in question the 5243 fiscal year and not $5500000 deficit as your news source charged hope you will find it possible to bring this information to the at ieniion of your readers and so cor rect another bit of misinformation about the CBCmisinformation which certain sources appear to spread diligently
