The Canadian Weekly Newspapers Port Perry, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20th, 1953 Ontario, fh . - \ Association THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE "NOTES AND COMME The Political Comedy i 5 . It's almost ridiculous to talk about elec- tions once, they're over. and done with. Particularly in Canada where it's almost dmpossible to get people to talk at all even before the election! However, Canadian politics have now reached a point where - thinking people just have to speak out. It's _ something worse than apathy to keep quiet. : : The last élection disclosed a fact that we should have learned long ago. . There is only one party in'Capada apparently, most of the people are opposed to it! The Liberals continue to roll up fantagtic representation in spite of the fact that only once in the last 32 years have they achiev- ed a majority of the popular vote! Only -onee in that time have we had an effective opposition! And yet the Canadian people as a whole are not for the Liberals, Nova Scotia'has a Conservative provin- cial government ; Quebec has the most anti- liberal and anti:federal government of its history; Ontario for more than ten years has been overwhelmingly Conservative; Saskatchewan, C.C.F.; and British Col- umbia and Alberta, Social Credit. In spite of this, our one national party is Liberal! Why? How? : Because with multiple parties and an outmoded system the people of Canada have swindled themselves-out of represent- , presentative when it represents . . . . 'ative government, ) And the people do nothing about it, ; o* And the machines of the official parties . : do nothing about it. . - Because of the development in our-vot- ing system since 1921, nothing 'short of the most flagrant misconduct on the part of the Liberal administration can rob it of ~ "it hold on the country. .. Now lest somebody get the wrong idea, let us plainly and clearly state that we are not against the Liberal party . . . if the Conservatives had been in the same posi- tion we would be writing precisely the same editorial and that goes for the C.C.F and Social Credit too. It is our solemn contention that a two- party system cannot function with the pre- sent set-up . . . and that goes for what- ever party is in power. : Representative government is only re- when it controls without representing . . . you may have government but it isn't demo- cratic government. And this we shall learn to our cost. : i Of course, we can do something about it. But will we? If we are a good Con- servative and believe in- democracy . . -if we are a good Liberal and believe in de- mocracy . . . or a good C.C.F'er or Social Creditor--and believe.in democracy we will + +. we must, : 2 Cligped Comme 'BUS SAFETY MEASURES * Have you ever. been passed by & -- onference on Evangelism held at Whitby College Once In A While The Canadian Institute of modern bus on the highway? If yo 'have you most certainly must. have felt some concern for the safety ofits. passenger's as it roared by loaded with people and controlled by only one in- «. i+ dividual.. The matter of bus safety enhancement is a problem which ap- . pears to be a need of some thoughtful study Ly bus. line operators and high- way offieials. For too long now peo- ple have been lulled into a false sense of safety and security by the size of these buses in relation to other motor vehicles and have dismissed as un- likely the probability of an accident occuring with disastrous consequences to bus passengers. However, there has been ample evidence in recent times to indicate a very definite need for more effective safety measures, One of the more important steps which could be taken to make bus travel safter would be to bring bus speeds into line with other related factors. Doesn't it seem unwise to permit buses to travel at the same speed as other highway traffic with ~ the lives of so many people dependent upon the skill of only one individual ? And another question: If buses are to be allowed to travel at high rates of speed, shouldn't there be a driver's as- sistant to relieve on long hauls and to act as a check? We expect and get this in other modes of travel, why not advocate it for bus travel ? « This is only one phase of bus, line Once in a while a good picture can be seen at the movies, We discovered that the other night when we went to see a picture entitled, THE MAN ON THE TIGHT ROPE. : The picture is suspenseful drama . . the characters are human beings (who are rare in Hollywood) ... the unfolding events are not only creditable but logical ._, the camera work is superb--and not in colour . . and don't miss the music. The picture, we note, has just been ban- - ned in Vienna and we doubt that it will be 'shown in Moscow. Public Affairs ~~ ~ Last week, at Geneva: Park, Lake Couch- iching, delegates to the Canadian Institute of Public Affairs met and heard and later had a chance to discuss some of the great problems that face our world to-day. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation car- ried the meeting over the national hook-up = *- and are to be congratulated for their enter- prise in doing so. It was a most inform- operation which, it would seem, could do with some checking into in the in- terest of public safety. There may be, and probably are, other things con- nected with this business which could be impraved in the interests of the travelling public's safety and the gen- eral welfare of the industry. To ne- glect- these is to invite unnecessarily frequent bouts with disaster. : --Lindsay Post ;..On September 7th, every employed . HOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CANADA The Annual Conference on Evan- gelism, sponsored "by the ~ United 'Church of Canada, Toronto and Mon- treal conferences is to be held at the Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, from Sept. 2 to 4. Ministers and. laymen will attend, = Soa Rev, Charles B. Templéton, young Toronto-born evangelist who is now with the Presbyterian Church®in the United States, will be one of the speakers, He was here last year and his outstanding messages were a fea-' ture of the conference. Another speak- cr will be the Rev. Dr, James Clarke, of St. Louis, and Dr. E. Denman, of Nashville, Tenn.

The Conference is expected to bring many people from the two provinces. ---- Labour Day In its original conception, Labor Day was one set aside to honour the industrial - worker and the achieve- ments of trade unions. Today it is still marked officially only by organ- ized labor. Everyone else takes a holi-. day, but pays little attention to the significaance of the day itself, Yet the day has a meaning' for all of us. Trade unions themselves would be the first to acknowledge that the wheat areas o A) New Control for Wheat Blights Large sketch at left shows the effect of wheat plants.

Beautifully printed, with scores of effective pic- tures, this booklet is a veritable store- house of information regarding Can- ada, its present industrial, economic, social and cultural life, and its great possibilities for future development, The foreword to the book gives ample explanation of why it was pub- lished. It points out that it has been said that the twentieth century be- longs to Canada. Here we have a nation with all the vigor of youth, In a century of steady growth, this vast sprawling country has been trans- formed from a few. struggling colonies into a great cohersive nation. With but fourteen million people, Canada has come to rank as the third great- est trading country of the world. Like any healthy youth, Canada has her eyes fixed on the future--on her great opportunities for development of the nation and on her responsibility for the part she will play in the family of the United Nations. rich_for Canada.
