LIGHT PROBLEMS (Continued from Page 1) street lighting throughout the city. Ald. Clifford Harman declared that still stood and it had never been changed. After Ald. Gay offered to con] duct a canvass of householders to secure permission to cut trees Wiliam Boddy commented there was no use putting up new lights if they were to be hung in trees or shadows. Safety, he said, was his main aim. The situation had changed materially in the past 20 or 30 years in Oshawa as regards street traffic. streets should be safe for pedest- rains as well as vehicles and this required efficient lighting. ONE LIFE SAVED "One life saved is worth all the trees in Oshawa. If the council does not want that protection that is something else again," Commis- sioner Boddy sald. "The people don't want their trees cut. They just want lights", stated Ald. Attersley. "The commission cannot be res- ponsible for whether the city had 75 per dent or 50 per cent lighting. It went ahead and did what the council asked before and was cruci- fied. We have no ax to grind if lights are no use five feet away. If council wants light we will put them up whether they show or not,"" commented Commissioner Mills - Public opinion has changed regarding trees. I feel we do not need 100 per cent lighting although I do not favor 25 per cent light ing either", added Ald. Powers. Asked by the council delegation to present details he had obtained, City Engineer Dempsey declined on the ground thai he had had no time to study the situation thor- oughly. He said he would have to go into it with Mr. Shreve. FACTORS TO CONSIDER Commissioner Boddy held the op- | ed inion that the volume of traffic on a street should be taken into con- sideration in setting down policy. There were other factors such as factories, blank areas and other things to be taken under advise- ment. Commissioner Mills commented that Mary Street, one of the streets with the new type lighting would be a death trap without its present efficiency. : Commissioner Boddy pointed to Ritson Road and Park Road South as two of the best lighted streets in the city showing what 100 per cent lighting can do to produce safe streets. New Traffic Lights Are On Traffic lights flicked into opera- tion at the junction of Athol Street and Simcoe Street South in Osh- awa today. Installation of the fix- tures at the dangerous crossing has been promised for months. The lights are synchronized with the set at the Four Corners and the interval of change-time has oeen reduced. Main offenders against the lights this morning were pedestrians who followed their usual practice of risking their lives walking out in- to the street opposite oncoming Athol Street traffic.

Frankham, rector of gave an inspiring sermon at St. George's Anglican Church, last plight, at a special evening serv- ce. Because Rev. Frankham is as- sisting Rev. Canon Bryan Gree in the largest mission that the Anglican Church has attempted in this territory, he illuminated the REV. H. E. FRANKHAM fact that all parishioners should attend the grand function to be held in the Toronto Coliseum from October 26th to November '4. The purpose of this mission is to liven Christian enthusiasm within the church and outside the church. Canon Green will visit many of the service clubs, schools and so- Sih activities of the Toronto peo- ple. In the sermon la st night, Mr, Prankham stated that the people of today use the word Christian light- ly, and it seems to him tha people are generally more pagan. This goes for Canada as well as the Old Country, he added. When the world has come to the end of its life, he said, it will not be the sciences and vast indus- tries that run the people, but God who made these things. As motor oil is used to keep a motor in run- ning condition, he declared, so must the Almighty power keep civilization in operating condition, Also, people have been consider- ing marriage as being a private matter. This is the wrong inter- pretation of wedding vows, as God must be included, he pointed out. Christianity should not be left to the mouthing of hymns and the filling of pews in the church -- that is only acting as an echo. We should all have a deep feeling for God, so that we may inherit everlasting life, Rev. Frankham declared. "Only Jesus can deal with this twisted human nature," he con- cluded."

The discussion centred around 'the new competition," a recent phrase which is taken to cover later-day developments in the busi- ness and industrial world. "The new competition," as de- fined by various speakers, empha- sizes the braking power on prices of such factors as research, ad- vertising and substitute products. It differs in emphasis from the 'classical' concept of competition which simply envisioned many people making 'a product, with many buyers picking and choosing among them. Combines Commissioner T, D. MacDonald said literature on '"'the new competition' tends to indicate that emphasis on price competition is becoming increasingly unneces- sary. He repudiated any such idea. He New Competition Is Brake On Prices said 'that undoubtedly certain ele- ments in competition, such as re- search, even if not new, have taken on new significance, and it was not the purpose of Canada's com- bine legislation to '"'turn back the clock." Nevertheless, the purpose of the legislation was to eliminate any situation which might forbid price competition and which was to the public detriment. Whatever price competition was possible should be maintained; and he felt that it was the real spur to many of the fac- tors included under "the new com- petition." R.M. Fowler of Montreal, chair- man of the panel discussion, asked Mr. MacDonald: "If, in an inflationary period, a group of business men agreed to keep prices down as an anti-in- flationary measure, would that be contrary to the combines statute?" Mr. MacDonald: "If business men have such a situation which they want to discuss, the door is always open to them." Halfway Post To Cabinet Seen In Assistant's Spot By CLAUDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--A House of Commons member: appointed par- liamentary' assistant to a minister is about half-way to a Cabinet post. Exabtly half the eligible list of parliamentary assistants appointed since the office was established 10 years ago now are members of the Privy Council. Ten are members with portfolio in the present Cabinet. Another, former 'Fisheries Minister Mayhew, has just been appointed ambassa- dor to Japan. Prime Minister St. Laurent has 19 ministers without portfolio -- heads of government departments --and two without portfolios. STARTED IN 1942 Since April 29, 1942, when the first of the parliamentary assis- tants were named--to help war- chance for advancement. It adds $4,000 to the $6,000 a private mem- ber receives in indemnity and ex- pense allowance. A parliamentary assistant is a member of the House of Commons chosen to help a cabinet minister handle his legislation and esti- mates in the Commons, reply to questions for him and otherwise aid him in the conduct of his de- partmental duties. He does not attend Cabinet meetings, He is just a private member who gets extra pay for doing extra work which keeps him busier than the average private member and keeps him in Ottawa longer. In the United Kingdom Parlia- ment his opposite number a "parliamentary secretary' who does exactly the same sort of job but gets no extra pay for it. The United Kingdom official takes his burdened Ministers of Def! y Finance and Munitions and Sup- plies--30 members of the Commons have been appointed. Of those, two died, two were ap- pointed to the bench, two returned to private life, one went to the Senate and one to the provincial political field. Of the remaining 22 still in the field, 11 obtained Cabinet posts and 11 are still on the job as parlia- mentary assistants, in line for later Cabinet jobs. Thus it would seem that the proper target for .an ambitious young Member of Parliament should be a parliamentary assist- antship which, the record to date shows, gives him a 50-50 chance for a place in the Privy Council. GET $4,000 EXTRA The job is an interesting one for a private member, apart from the RESTLESS KITTEN PREVENTS BIG FIRE PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A restless kitten was credited yes- terday with helping save six buildings from fire at nearby Collins.
