Mr, Krushchev is undoubtedly blunt, but very, very clever. He is extremely hard and could be a nasty customer to deal with, in the raw. How- ever we should expect these things from a man who has fought his way to power in an environment of the type he has had. Undoubtedly he has a genuine desire for peace in his time so that Russia can devel- op econmically. If Russia goes ahead eco- nomically there is no need for the State to produce a scapegoat in the form of be- yond the borders aggression. If She does not develop economically, then the people's attention must be drawn to wrongs outside and a fiery zeal for righting those wrongs must detract the people's attention from the inadequacies of its own leaders. Which way Russia will go depends large- ly on how much trade she can drum up across the world. Mr. Krushchev's plea for lifting trade barriers is closely allied to Russia's peaceful.expansion. . His deadly. cleverness. in suggesting total disarmament is another thing. Rus- sia can disarm completely in four years if she wishes. We cannot. Russia can close Prime Minister Deifenbaker began his politica) leadership by taking the attitude that French-Canadians were part of Can- ada as a whole and ought to be treated simply as Canadians instead of singling them out in an especial way. A recent gallop poll however, has shown that the Conservative party has lost one third of its Quebec support. Mr. Deifenbaker is now being forced to pay special attention to Quebec if he is to win the next election. The problem of Quebec Province we have always had with us. We have continued to treat it in the Provincial manner of early settlers. Deifenbaker tried to help us out- grow this method. If we are to have top- More of Mr.X. ... Mr. Krushchev has threatened to depart from the United States before his schedule is complete if people do not take him more seriously. The trouble seems to lie with the journalist rather than with Mr. Eisen- hour and Mr. Herter. The latter two take Mr. Krushchev very seriously indeed. The journalists, on the other hand have tried to pick out and capitalize on Mr. Krush- chev's idosyncracies and bad temper. Perhaps we, as a people cannot hold large issues before our minds too long be- cause we have had too much prosperity. We cannot feel that total disarmament can really matter that much, except for a few minutes at a time. It is much easier to fall back on the age-old process of simply disparaging the supposéd enemy. It takes a great deal of clear thinking to decide whether or not this man is our enemy. Most of us, including many of our journa- lists are simply not clever enough to do so. Therefore we prefer to clip and cut and disparage. i Most of the good of this tour will come in the three days to be spent at Camp Da-~ vid, If good will is destroyed before that ~. Krushchev's Speech to.the United Nations . . . her military colleges and re-route men to other jobs without batting an eyelash. We cannot. * Our Royal military colleges are only one example of a long line of tradition and belief built up by our people, slowly, over the years. They are tied in with our belief in the freedom of ideals and the pro- tection of those ideals. They are, what'is a more bitter pill, tied tightly to our eco- nomic system; our system of prestige and importance. Rusaija can re-route her jobs to help feed the under-privileged people's of the world by a stroke of a pen, let the chips fall where they may. We get upset over one Avro aircraft contract because men are put out of work and families disrupted. Nevertheless, in spite of our apparent in- flexibility we must accept the gauntlet thrown down by Mr. Krushchev if the world is to be saved. Can we do it? We can do it if we accept the new pro- 'fessional administrative point of view growing out of our Universities to-day. We can accept the challenge if we will get groups of experts in various fields to pool their resources with a firm goal in mind. The goal of world peace. We can search for ways and means of re-routing\thous- ands of men to peaceful enterprizes ; to the .aflventure of growth toward peace and well-being in Africa and Aaia, or where- ever there is malnutrition and ignorance. We can do it if we will look forward and not back. If we will build a new economic system with new goals. Our profits must be in humanity. Our teaching of small children and adults alike must be for ghar- ing and for intelligent curiosity. about the whole world. et} Deifenbaker and the French-Canadians . . . ranking French-Cgnadians in the cabinet then they simply ought to be well-equipped for their job, just as well-equipped 8s men selected from any other province. If we pay the French-Canadians any other kind of a compliment we are actually disparag- ing them. We are allowing a system of separateness to grow instead of heal over. We are actually allowing Quebec Prov- ince to hold the whip hand over the other nine when we publicly admit the ability of this province to throw an election, There is evidently a tremendous need for education in becoming a Canadian, whe- ther or not we are Polish, Jewish or French Canadian in origin. by this short-term policy of the journalists it will be too bad. : When Eisenhour and Krushchev get down to the actual business of ways .and means then we shall be better able to judge this man :and his present government, Very little attention has been paid to Krushchev's statement that: "... We have .always.been against the system of control 'being separated from measures toward disarmament, against the organs of control becoming, in effect, organs for the collec- tion of intelligence information in condi- tions where there would in effect be no:dis- armament." Apparently Mr. Krushchev feels that the only way: to avoid such collection of infor- mation by either side is to have complete and total disarmament, What is most precious is for us to re- " member that our way of life demands res- pect for the individual, his needs and his rowth ag an intelligent thinking person. We must find a way to convert to peace that will demonstrate to the communists this way of life, District Doings STOUFFVILLE SET UP NEW FLAT RATE HEATER PROGRAMME Stouffville Public Utilities Comrnis- sion has drawn up a-special service]. program covering customers of hydro with flat rate water heaters. .

The selec- tion of Ted O'Connor as Dunlop coach is regarded as a very happy choice all Laround hockey circles. O'Connor played 4 years of Junior "A" hockey with the Oshawa Generals as did several others of his squad, played pro hockey with Hershey Bears of the American League, and Tacoma of the Western Professional League, and before coming to Whitby 4 years ago, played Senior "A" hockey with Windsor. He has been outstanding as a defenseman in each of his 4 years with the Dunlops. His appointment sets a precedent for the Dunlops, says Whitby Man- ager Wren Blair. "We feel that in the future the selection of our coaches should come from our own organiza- tion", states Blair. Many of our players have put a lot into the club, as Ted has, and they should be given Ted O'Connor is 29 years old, and,|the chance in the future for coaching in the words of Whitby manager Wren | positions". CUSTOM SHOULD BE CHANGED Much as we love and resepect our lovely Queen we are fast reaching the conclusion that the sooner we do a- way with playing her anthem at all and every public function the better it will be. For what worse situation can one imagine than a section of citizens standing at attention in one area while one or a group of others are search- ing for handbags, seats, or some other distracting business in another? And the trend for ignorance of the occa- sion is becoming more marked as years go by, says an editorial in The Uxbridge Times-Journal. We have witnessed this distasteful procedure several times recently, Once it was at our own local movie house when as goon as the picture ended a number of persons were trying to hur- ry out before the anthem came on. One would have thought the extra 80 seconds of standing at attention meant life or death or missing the last street car. There was a shuffling of feet, peering around shoulders, averted eyes and other ill-at-ease mannerisms. It gave us the feeling they were almost ashamed to be caught in a spot where they didn't know what to do. The second time was at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition at the grandstand show. Everyone was standing for The Queen, among them several hun- dred white clad sailors of several Jands rigidly at attention, when a couple shuffled up the entrance, topk a few steps up, a few steps down, this way and that, peered and chatted to each other while looking about. We could almost feel he said "Why the -- is everybody standing around. There's seats enough." We might have felt sorry for them under other circum- stances but the occasion was irking to a degree. This sort of thing happens all the time, and the two instances recorded are as one wave in the sea of the same. We would much rather see the anthem dropped for all but the most serious gatherings in order to put an end to the farce now in vogue. The Queen of Canada deserves the love and respect of everyone but sure as shoot- ing she will never receive it if it must come immediately after a horror mo- vie, before the entrance of a comic, or before a banquet gathering can light up their first fag. --Canadian Statesman STEEL STRIKE TIME WAS when a nationwide strike in the U8 steel industry was enough to cause jitters in Washington and to give rise to a public clamor for settle- ment with scant regard to the terms of settlement. Steelworkers' president David Mec- Donald would like nothing better than a "political" settlement on terms which he figures would be favorable to his union. But thing which distinguishes pres- ent steel strike from its predecessors is that US public has shown more in- terest in the terms of settlement and their effect upon living costs than in an early end to the strike itself. US public, clearly, is becoming more so- phisticated about the implications of the wage-price spiral than heretofore. This is probably the result of both parties to the dispute -- the steel in- dustry and Mr. McDonald's union -- taking the issue to the public in the press. Public, too, is keenly aware that not only wages, but "featherbed- ding" is a major issue in the steel strike. Steel industry in the US is anxious to improve its efficiency by eliminating costly 'featherbedding" practices. Union boss McDonald would prefer to see steel industry forced to keep on the payroll workers no longer needed, even at cost of higher steel prices for the consumer. Few people realize how much a strike hits the average taxpayer in the pocketbook. Yet when a major indus- try, such as the steel industry, is strikebound, as it is now in the US, a large part of the bill falls directly upon the taxpayer. This is so because every time an industry is strikebound, other industries and the workers em- ployed by those industries are adver- sely affected. In Pennsylvania, for example, state officials estimate that some 45,000 workers in other indus- Clipped Comments tries, such as glass, appliances, coal, steel fabricating and construction, have heen forced into idleness already by the steel strike. So heavy is the drain 'o nthe state unemployment com- pensation fund that officials in Penn- sylvania are seriously 'considering in- creasing the unemployment insurance payroll tax and raising the wage limit on which the employer taxes are now based above the present $3,000 a year figure. Wonder of it is that taxpay- ers, a group whieh includes most of the labor force, haven't begun to squawk about the tax bite caused by strike action. --The Letter Review. NOT JUST A DREAM ANY NOTION that the notorious boss of the Teamsters' International Union, James Hoffa, has abandoned his dream of a colossal labor monopoly of all transport workers should be dispelled by word that the Teamsters plan to act as a "coordinator and neutral 8rd party" between employers and dock- workers" unions on both the east and west coasts of the US. Further evi- dence that Hoffa's ambition to estab- lish a vast labor combine is meeting with some success comes from Hawali, where the Teamsters and the West Coast Longshoremen's Union, run by Harry Bridges, plan to "coordinate" their organizing activity. What makes Hoffas ambitions frigh- tening is the fact that in Canada as well as in the US no legislative ob- stacles stand in his way. Like other union, bosses, Mr. Hoffa doesn't have to give a thought to the possibility of being in trouble, for the simple reason that unions enjoy complete immunity from the effect of existing anti-com- bines legislation. It is a tragic Paradix that union leaders of the AFL - CIO, who have seen fit to expel Hoffa's Teamsters from the respectable society of organ- ized labor in the US, should themsel- ves resist legislative changes aimed at curbing union monopoly power that makes it possible for men like Hoffa to move unimpeded in their sinister aims for power. --The Letter Review. man, Scugog.

The old, slightly breezy windows were re- placed with new coloured ones and the walls have been given a new coat of plaster. The W.A. has assumed res- ponsibility for paying for the plaster- ing so next month our bank balance won't look so healthy. However, there will perhaps be more incentive to work. Les.
