6 -. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, August 19, 1053 'Whithy), Tim 57 Simoos Sirest South, i Ontario 1953 Oshawa Fair Opened To The Public This evening, with an exceptionally fine variety show, the Oshawa Fair for 1953 will open its doors to the public. All day today fair officials and exhibitors have been busy putting displays and ex- hibits in place, receiving entries and carrying out the many preliminary duties involved in preparation day for a fair. Tonight's variety show is the first major event on the program and tomorrow the fair will be in full swing throughout the day. . ' Oshawa and district people who visit the fair this year are going to be very agreeably surprised by the results of the hard work of the officers, directors and committee members of the South Ontario Agricultural Society. In every depart- ment, stress has been laid on progress in keeping with the advance of the event to the status of a class "B" fair. Prize money has been increased to over $5,000, and was intimated in yesterday's special section of The Times-Gazette dealing with thé Fair, there is a long list of special Tonight %awards offered to exhibitors. This has undoubtedly. stimulated competition in many of the important departments of the fair, and those who visit it and watch the progress of judging in the ring, will note the increase in entries. The Oshawa Fair is the show window * of a fine agricultural district of progres- sive farmers. Their exhibits will show the fine quality of their livestock and farm products. And city people, as Well as those from the rural areas, will find much to interest them in the fair which will be open for the rest of this week. The fair is an old-established Oshawa institution. It has had its ups and downs for a period of close to half a century. Now it has achieved ranking along with the outstanding fairs of the province, and is well worthy of the support of the people of the community. Let us all, by our attendance and interest, join together in demonstrating that the work done to make the 1953 Oshawa Fair a success has been justified. Service Deserves Recognition We have been interested in a news des- patch concerning Dr. O. M. Solandt, Canada's great scientist who is chairman of the National Defence Research Board. Dr. Solandt, in that post, received a sal- ary of $15,000 a year from the federal government. Now we read that he has been offered a salary of $35,000 a year and a annual budget of ten million dollars for research to become the director of a United States chemical research founda- tion. He refused the offer, preferring to continue tg serve his country with his scientific skill and knowledge at great personal sacrifice. To say that Canada should be proud of a man with such high ideals of patriot- ism and service to his country, regardless of personal loss to himself, is stating the case mildly. Dr. Solandt is not ,of course the first great Canadian to refuse offers from the United States providing them with much higher incomes than they are earning in Canada. To them all credit is due, but the case of Dr .Solandt is so out- standing that it is worthy of special recognition. While we should feel proud of Dr. Solandt for his devotion to Canada, one cannot feel any sentiments of pride for the government which pays him so much less than his actual worth, as expressed by the offer received from the United States. Too often this country has lost outstanding men, particularly in the scientific field, because of niggardly poli- cies on this side of the border. Dr. Solandt has refused to forsake his native land and the strategic' post which he occupies. A grateful country would see to it that he r eceived remuneration commensurate with the importance to it of the work that he is doing. Raw Milk Can be Dangerous Getting back to nature is all very well during this great outdoor time of year, observes the Health League of Canada's committee on pasteurization of milk; but it can go too far if it involves drinking raw, unpasteurized milk. Such untreated milk has been the cul- prit in thousands of cases of typhoid fevers, hovide tuberculosis, dysentery, un- dulant fever, septic sore throat, diphtheria and scarlet fever. It can carry disease and possible death into your family this sum- mer if you take the risk of using raw milk. Much milk obtained where Canadians spend their vacations may not be pasteur- Editorial Notes Duck hunters are promised a longer season this year. Most of them would like a promise of more ducks, and not a politi- cal promise, either. One cannot help wondering who sup- plied all the money that was lost by the Communist candidates in election depos- its. : Agricultural Society officers are pleased that the Oshawa holiday season is over just ju time to let everyone attend the Oshawa Fair.

Put enough water in the bottom to touch the top one. Pour the cold, raw milk into the top pof and cover it. Bring the water in the bottom pot to a boil and keep it boiling for eight minutes, then cool the milk as rapidly as possible, bottle, and place it in cold storage (about 45 de- grees Fahrenheit). Never put the heated milk into unsterilized bottles or the whole effort will be wasted. When a double boiler is used for home pasteurization there is no change in the flavor of the milk--one of the objections sometimes heard to the process.

GALLUP POLL OF, CANADA Party More Important Than Candidate To Most Voters By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION Many political workers have asked themselves the same ques- tion: "Is this a Party Riding -- or a Candidate Riding?' Do voters, respond to a colorful personality, a good organization, a' vigorous campaign -- or do they vote in the main, for the policies of their party, whatever they think of the merits of the various candidates in their riding? The Gallup Poll reports that about one-quarter of the voters say they are affected by the candidate. Well on to half the people say that policies of the party influence them most. About one in five say 'Both'. The remainder don't know, or give general answers. As one of a series in an election campaign, again forecast by the Canadian Institute of Public Opin- ion, with great accuracy, this study reveals what was in the voters' minds on August 10th -- attitudes which the ballot box could not as- sess. i Question put by Gallup Poll in- terviewers about a' week before voting day was this: Policies of Party Kind of Candidate Both Other Don't Know * Less than one per cent. In the Province of B.C. Party policy is considered of first im. portance by 52 per cent of the vot- ers, while 23 per cent say "Candi- date' and 19 per cent "Both". While B.C. believes most strong- ly in the policy of the Party -- the least proportion of citizens who feel this way live in Quebec. In this, one of the key provonces in the "In an election which infl your vote the most, the policies of a political party as a whole, or the kind of candidate the party has in your own riding?"

Exactly 50 per cent of Canadian men put Party first while a small- er proportion of women (42 per cent) do so. Both sexes think ex- actly alike on the importance of the Candidate (27 per cent). How- ever, more than twice as many women as men say they "don't know', As the amount of education a voter has had increases, so does the importance of the Party Jolie- ies, while the importance of the Candidate is lessened or None School Univ. 41 49 51 25 24° 21 21 * -- 5 1 , 100 100 1100 election, 38 per cent said "Party"; 28 per cent said "Candidate" and 23 per cent said '"'Both'.

OTTAWA REPORT Pearson Is Again In Leading Role By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Corerspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA Foreign Minister 'Mike' Pearson is once more this week playing his leading role on the world stage as president of the 7th General Assembly of the United Nations. He called the assembly together for what he hopes will be only a few days, to arrange the ticklish question of who will meet, where and when, to negotiate the final Korean peace. Until we see whether that peace conference of -politicians is really able to make progress, we do not know whether the fighting in Korea is truly ended or only temporarily halted. If the Communists show no goodwill in negotiating a settle- ment, and only use the conference as a propaganda forum, then we will know that the fighting is al- most certain to break out again. It might be a small scale war, be- tween South Korea and the com- munists only; or it might become much more widespread than be- fore, with Canada still fighting, and a serious risk that it would spread into a world war. The commanders of the armies in Korea drew up the truce agree- ment; now it becomes the job of the politicians to try to extend that truce into a formal peace treaty. Article 60 of the truce pact recommends that "a political con- ference of a higher level of both sides be held to settle through negotiation the question of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Korea, the peaceful settle- ment of the Korea question, etc." I LIKE MIKE Diplomats are often accused of using weasel' words, comments Mr. Pearson with his flair for the well-turned quip; but, he adds, never in all my experience have we taken refuge in "etcetera." However, considering the immen- sity of the problems facing this political conference, the soldiers did pretty well to burrdle the whole thing up in etcetera. So far the Korean struggle has cost every Canadian man, woman and child about $12 in tax expendi- ture. The toll in casualties, al- though much lighter than the United States' 134,047 or Britain's 4,451, adds up to 1,653, of whom 389 are dead, 1,218 were wounded, 46 missing or prisoners. e Communists are likely to pull out all the stops at the Peace conference, to exact concessions and humiliation from the United Nations. They know that the States, who have been fighting 19-20ths of the war, are tired of it; they will take advantage of that knowledge to squeeze the last drop out of the American lemon, PEACE PROBLEMS SEVERE The conference will not find it easy to arrange unification of Communist-governed North Korea with democratic South Korea, which has twice as many inhab- itdnts living under the unsatisfac tory government of Syngman Rhee. The West, meaning chiefly diplo- matically - immature Washington, has got itself saddled 'with two beneficiaries, in Rhee and Chiang Kaishek, who are only acceptable in comparison with the even less" attractive alternative of Commun- ist leaders; neither of them would last an hour as prime minister of Canada. Our greatest risk is that Rhee might refuse to make concessions advised by the U. S.; if the Com- munists break the truce, then we are at war again, but if Rhee breaks it, then Canada has no obligation to support or assist him in any way. It is possible that the Commun- ists may appear to give ground at the conference, hoping that the whole unified Korean plum may drop into their laps, later. The greatest hope for a seftlement lies in the fact recognised by both sides that unification of that war- torn peninsula is an ic ne- ® ° MAC'S MUSINGS In these days of turmoil, Stress and strain of mind, We find many people who Question whether their Religion is good for them, And how they may know For certain that it can Be to them a sure source Of strength and help. This is not a difficult Matter, if such people Look at themselves and Determine just what their Religion does for them. Their religion isc good If it is vital and active, If it nourishes in them Confidence, love and hope, And a -belief in all the Infinite values of life, If is is allied with What is best in mankind Against what is worst And holds ever before them The necessity of becoming A new kind of individual. Their religicn is good If it increases their Respect for the conscience Of others, if it renders Forgiveness more easy, Fortune less arrogant And one's duty more clear. If religion does these Things, then it is good No matter under what Name it may go, or However rudimentary it May be, because when It fills these offices, Then it comes from the True source and binds One to God and man. QUEEN'S PARK A. W: Downer Has Been Star Witness By DON O'HEARN Special Corerspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- A star wifness be- fore the reform institutions com- mittee was Rev. A. W. Downer. The Anglican padre and Pro gressive Conservative member for Dufferin-Simcoe, is one of the grand people in the house; he also proved to be a discerning student and valuable observer, He spent some time overseas on behalf of the committee and had a number of worthwhile observa- tions to make on the English sys- tem of penal institutions. Notably he was the first witness to strongly stress that rehabilita tion would be tackled vigorously with first offenders but that it was a waste with habituals. Once a man had gone up for a third term, he said, he should be re- garded as a habitual. He also noted that though Eng- land's population was three times as great, its prison population was less than Canada. DUNBAR So far the committee hasn't called Hon. George Dunbar Before it. And one wonders if there might't be some jealousy here. The committee has taken itself very seriously. There have been instances that indicated it con sidered itself bigger than the gov- ernment itself. Its recommenda tion for instance, that the new Millbrook institution be held up pending its report -- and private resentment among the members when the recommendation wasn't followed. Mr. Dunbar is the father of our present reformatory system. When inister of reform institutions, he Alderman Slain By Gunman HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP)--Alder- man Henry H. Noel, 71, prominent in Massachusetts Republican ac- tivities, was shot to death early today by a masked gunman who broke his way into the Noel res- idence. Noel was shot in the heart with a revolver as he was rushing down a flight of stairs from his bedroom with a .22 calibre rifle in his hands. Noe} and his wife were awakened by the noises the gunman made in jimmying open a downstairs win- dow, apparently to burglarize the house. Mrs. Noel said her husband grabbed the rifle and headed down- stairs but got only halfway down when the masked man fired a shot. _ Mrs. Noel said she ran down in time to get a fleeting glimpse of the gunman, whom she de- scribed as tall, slim and young and wearing a soft hat, a sports Jacket, slacks and a handkerchief mask. Disaster Expert Stands By QUEBEC (CP)--Canada's No. 1 disaster relief expert prepared to leave Quebec City today by air to direct evacuation preparations in northeastern Quebec's biggest for- est fire in 30 years--if the move should become necessary. Col. Edwards Reynolds, national director of disaster services for the Canadian Red Cross, said he is flying to Forestville, centre of the blaze area, to make sure all preparations have been made for mass evacuations. cessity. Without it, the United States' four-year rehabilitation pro- gram cgsting one billion dollars would have to continue indefinitely. Everyone heaved a sigh of re lief when the armistice was signed after two years of bickering; but the hurdle which lies ahead during the next six months is the most dangerous of the whole Korean episode. BANFF, Alta. (CP) = Norman Luxton--Mr. Banff to his friends-- has wrapped his life within the folds of Western Canada's color- ful history. Lean and erect, his dark eyes smiling from behind a high-bridged nose, Luxton, now 60, has watched the sprawling foothills blossom into an international playground. Son of a hewspaper publisher and a former newspaper man him- self, he has lived a life of adven- ture.

SUREFIRE-CURE He once cured the influenza- ravaged tribe by dosing them with whisky and aspirin "tablets after they had given up hope. He travelled the sea wastes from Victoria to the South Sea islands, edited a gossip newspaper at Van couver, traded in buffalo herds and spent his holidays chasing wild horses through Rocky ntain At 16 he moved into northwest- 'ern Ontario to apprentice as a clerk with an Indian agent at Rat Por- tage, now Kenora. Travelling an eight-man canoe on treaty-pay- ing trips, Luxton's job was to sit in the centre with the big iron cash box tied about his neck. In Calgary, he worked as a printer-reporter and bill collector. He worked as agent for an eastern haberdashery firm after coming to Banff and later bought a small weekly newspaper, the Crag and Canyon. The type was housed in cigar boxes and coffee tins when he took over the paper in 1902 and the little press hadn't been used for some time. Luxton sold out two years ago.

ADOPTION REPORT Some significant observations out of the report of the minister of welfare's committee on adop- tions. (It sat for more than a year investigating the situation regard- ing homeless children in the prov ince): The biggest problem is placing older children. There is no prob. lem in getting infants adopted. But there is hardly any demand at all for children from 6 to 10 years. This despite the fact there are a great many exceptional chil- dren in this category needing homes. The popular conception that ol- der couples aren't suitable as po- tential adoption parents is all wrong. The failure is in the adop- tion agencies who won't recognize their good qualities. That and a lack of courage on the part of the prospective parents themselves. There are hundreds of couples over 50, Minister Goodfellow said," who would be ideal parents. More stress should be placed on studying whether the parents are suitable for the child than whether the child pleases the parents, as, has been the case. The adoption rate has been going up but there are still 10,000 chil- dren in the province needing a home. i Speedy Red Jets Appear In Korea By JIM BECKER FREEDOM VILLAGE (AP) -- The Communists now fly new twin- jet fighter-bombers in North Korea's skies where they never dared appear in wartime, return- ing prisoners said Monday. Several American repatriates also told of seeing a mew-type jet fighter smaller than the MiG, main- stay of the Red Air Force. At least one twin-jet fighter- bomber was spotted on an air base near the North Korean capital of Pyongyang only two days ago. No bomber was safe at any base in North Korea during the war. Presumably this is the Russian IL28 which flies close to the speed of sound and can carry the atom bomb. It was. sighted in Korea be- fore. It is known the Communists flew swarms of planes into North Korea the night the armistice became effective. Some flew in after the armistice deadline. If they re- mained based in the north this was a violation of a truce ban against military reinforcements. U.S. 5th air force radar picked Russian IL-28, which a reputable source told Associated Press cor- respondent William C. Barnard last January could fly up to 650 miles an hour.
