Blackburn was atally injured several weeks ago. It is to be hoped that some | Wefinite action will be taken. ? The installing of traffic lights at this corner was con- 2 dered as long ago as 1946. Council, if we remember cor- krectly, carried on negotiations with a Toronto firm and made 'an arrangement with the Public Utilities Commission to in- stall the lights when they arrived. For some reason or other, § perhaps the shortage of materials, the lights never arrived lo be installed. Several months ago the Department of Highways in- © stalled traffic lights at the intersection of Simcoe and Bloor i Btreets to control the flow of autos and trucks coming into | Jueccity over the Simcoe Street clover leaf. To us it seems hat the Ritson Road corner is every bit as dangerous due tosthe flow of traffic from the city at peak periods combined with that from the east turning south on Ritson Road to | i gall access to the dual lane highway. The long line-up | "Whigh-accurred on the night of May 24 is indicative of the me of traffic which can be expected in the future. Just a Memory? | | | Brooklyn Eagle Looking Ahead In Ottawa Ottawa, May 31 -- (CP) -- The Commons likely will have its last chance Tuesday to accept or re- ject a private member's bill which would lift the ban on oleomargar- ine, the butter substitute. The bill, sponsored by James Sin- |clair (L-Vancouver North), will be id iscussed in the one hour devoted to public bills moved by individual members. | Progress In | The Cold War By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE | |. The cold war, according to the | | New York Times, has reached | about the same position as obtain- | ed in the second World War when | Britain had decisively repulsed the [ daylight attacks and had begun her | own attack in kind. In other | words, communism is being held. It | has been established that it cannot | | achieve a decisive victory in any | country where élections are really | free e 15 Years Ago Rev. W. R. Tanton, pastor of Tri- nity United Church, Cobourg, for six years, accepted a call from the congregation of Simce Street Unit- ed Church. A drop from 249 to 52 was report- ed in the number of men being sheltered at the Welfare Hostel on King Street West. A total of 1,248 meals were served during the first week in May, of which 133 were to transients. Dr. T. W. G. McKay, Medical Of- ficer of Health, reported one of the worst. epidemics of mumps in his memory in the city. A total of 185 cases were reported in April, e Other Editors Dr. G. L. Bird was elected gover- nor of the 27th District of Rotary International. Promotions announced by Gener- al Motors of Canada, Limited, in- cluded those of Wallace H. Clark to take charge of the assembly and sheet metal plants, and R. J. Mac- Farlane to be general purchasing agent. ' Lodger: "Did you ever see any- thing so unsettled as the weather?"

THE TROUBLE WITH IT (Reader's Digest) A young author sent a manue script to an editor with a letter in which he stated, "The characters in this story are purely fictional and bear no resemblance to any person, living or dead." A few days later he received his manus script with the penciled notation: "That's what's wrong with it." T bo Air Riding Today!

Members from dairy constituén- cies still are anxious, to see that the legislation is not passed. There are sufficient members from such con- |stituencies to keep the debate go- | ing. The Senate has already defeated a similar bill. It was sponsored by Senator W. D. Euler (L-Ontario) for the third time in as many years. After a lengthy debate the measure was defeated 35 to 21. The Trades and Labor Congress No doubt quite a number of residents of Oshawa read | cle in the June 1 issue of Maclean's Magazine which | bof the impressions an American tourist gained of the | V. nce during a motor trip easterly along Highway No. 2. to be hoped that the article will have served to awaken y officials to renewed efforts to have the Oshawa Railway ge removed from King Street. "The article, in the form of an interview with the tourist, of Canada is winding up for a round-house swing at the Com- mons Industrial Relations Commit- tee for tinkering with the govern- ment's labor code. One thing they particularly don't like is the committee's decision to exclude from collective bargaining all "confidential" employees. That covers altogether too much terri- tory, they say. Another objection is to the com- ated that he had intended to stop here to have a meal but 5 took "such a beating" from our main street that he de- | g@mtinue on his way. Apparently the streets of | "towns "were In a similar condition as he reached | 'before he finally stopped. The point we would like to make is that there may well | numerous other tourists who take a similar -view and | "pass the city by with resultant loss of business to Oshawa. During the war members of the armetl forces from Oshawa Jearned that the city was known far and wide across the country as the city with the railway running down its main : street. This was bad enough but when a magazine with the wide circulation of Maclean's carries an article placing the "Spommunity in a bad light it is time to take action. Resuscitation , ILE Bugh the summer holiday season is just around the corner, anumber of deaths by drowning have already occur- + ved in Ontario lakes and rivers.

A lengthy list of legislation is expected to appear on the Com- mons order paper this week. Prime Minister Mackenzie ' King announced last Wednesday that at least 25 bills will be introduced before the session either adjourns or pronogues June 30. One bill would amend the crim- inal code. It is believed that this measure will plug a loophole which permitted persons charged with conspiracy to libel to be tried in courts outside of the province where the libel was published. Another bill would amend the Lord's Day Act. It is believed that this measure will repeal a pre-con= federation act which was duplicat- ed in 1906. It is expected the new act will contain a provision that consent of the provincial attorney= general must be obtained before prosecution can be instituted. During the war some Ontario farmers were taken into court on charges that they had violated the Lord's Day Act by working on Sun- day. The charges later were dis- missed when it was found the Sun- day work was necessary to save the crops.

Democracy's evident wil- | lingness to accept whatever sacri- fices may be necessary to provide | the military defences to protect its beliefs and its readiness to share its abundance with less favored countries have been convincing ar- guments, They will hardly be suf- ficient, however, in the .Times'| view, to win the cold war. This] will be achieved by convincing la- bor that its reasonable demands are more likely to be secured under democracy than under commun- ism. This may encourage a some- what more leftish turn than we, on this continent, feel to be desirable. Some form of 'governmental con- trol is inherent in the measures for European recovery. Add to that the fact that the European has never been conditioned to our type | of enterprise and there is little in | the necessary dirction of ERP that will help the individual to start his | own small business, hoping to make it grow. In essence it cannot be easily distinguishable from state control, Our hopes for winning the | cold war therefore depend as much | as anything else on a rigid belief | in democracy, that must go even so | far as to admit the right of any substantial group to adopt attitudes with which we may not agree. That is our best safeguard against the greater dangers of communism. Aluminum has been found excel- lent for canning purposes and is as strong as tin plate.
