Street South, Oshawa, Omiarie Oshawa's Grand Old Man Exemplary. in Citizenship Yesterday afternoon, the remains of the late Thomas Harry Everson were laid to rest in the Union Cemetery. The large cortege of mourners who followed him to his last resting-place, and the at- _tendance at the funeral service were elo~ quent testimony to the high regard in which Mr. Everson was held by his fel- low-citizens. These formed a well-meTit- ed tribute to the contribution which he made to the community during his long life of service. : It is not given to many people to live to the grand old age of 97 years, as Mr. Hverson did. And almost to the last, he enjoyed his years, and found pleasure in life as he lived it. It is also given to few men to have helped to build up their home communities as Mr. Evérson did. He not only watched Oshawa grow from the status of a village to that of a thriv- ing and prosperous industrial city. He took part in that growth, and helped to develop # commercially and in a busi- ness sense. He invested his labor and his money in Oshawa ventures, and helped lay the business foundations for the city of today.' Mr. Everson also gave freely of his time and talents for the city of Oshawa.: On the municipal council and the Board of Education, his advice and guidance were highly appreciated. Institutions like the Oshawa General Hospital and the Red Cross Society were 'close to his heart, and felt the touch of his hand. His period of community service was lengthened by the long span of his years. Mr. Everson was a shrewd business man, but also a kindly spirit. His friend- ships were many, and they were valued by all who enjoyed the fellowship with him. Oshawa has lost a grand old citizen, one who will long be remembered in the annals of the community. To his be- reaved family, The Times-Gazette ex- tends a large measure of sincere sym- pathy. CNE Great National Exhibition On Friday of this week the 1953 Cana- @lan National Exhibition in Toronto will be officially opened by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, Britain's greatest soldier of today. For the following two weeks that great exhibition will be in full swing, with the attendance certain to go well beyond the two million mark during that period. This makes the .CNE the world's greatest annual exhibition. To the people of Oshawa and the sur- rounding district, the Canadian National Exhibition is always a major attraction. 'Within little more than an hour's drive from this city, it attracts annually thous- ands of our eitizens, who find it well 'worthwhile to visit. From an educational 'standpoint, gathering as it does exhibits and attractions from the four corners of the earth, it stands high. In entertain- ment, it provides the best that money can buy. One could go far in the use of super- latives in dealing with this, Canada's great national show window. Since the CNE was resumed at the close of the second world war, there has been a very distinct trend towards mak- ing it more truly Canadian in every aspect. This has not meant shutting the doors in the face of exhibits from other Common- wealth countries, and other parts of the world. But it has meant greater emphasis on setting a distinctive Canadian pattern, and providing an outlet for the skills and talents of Canadians. The grandstand per- formance which has for some years been the subject of much controversy, has be- come almost entirely a Canadian show, with Canadian artists providing the bulk of the program. That is as it should be. And Canadians can help to perpetuate that pattern by showing their approval of the action of the CNE management in provid- ing greater opportunities for talented Canadians. Who Backs the Guarantee The statement, attributed to a CCF candidate in the recent election, that "in- dustry should guarantee an annual wage to its workers, just as it guarantees annual interest to its investors" indicates that the "\speaker has never invested, even in "gilt- edged" bonds. When hard times come, many an fhdus- trial bond issue, reputedly good enough for trustee investments, has had to suspend, temporarily at least, its modest payments. As for preferential shares, the same holds good, only more so and, even in good times, the return on common shares is problematical. The grim fact is, that there ean be no LL] LJ Other Editors' Views 'PRINCE PHILIP' I8 INCORRECT (Ottawa, Journal) Not to settle a bet but in the interests of ac- curacy and protocol, The Journal asked the United Kingdom Information Office in Ottawa for the correct designation of the husband of the Queen. ; : The Information Office referred the enquiry to 'London and has the answer ftom the Press Officer at Buckingham Palace, who should have the last word. - It is correct to say '"His Royal Highness Philip, Duke of Edinburgh." That is the full and formal style. It is accurate in common usage to refer to him as the Duke of Edinburgh. But, says the Press Officer, "It is incorrect to refer to him as 'Prince Philip.' He 'is Philip, but he is not Prince Philip. ' The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA WHITBY) .

Nor is there any apparent reason why some special employee group in superior strategic position of being able to take its employers and the public by the throat, should enjoy a preference in the matter of wage or other returns over the great mass of the Canadian people. For such an advantage to the group the ultimate consumer must pay, and, sooner or later, the ultimate consumer must inevitably get wise to the fact. . .

Like five vividly-contrasted characters in a devoted family unit -- the Maritimes, Quebec, On- 0, the Prairies and British bia -- seldom agree. The ballot box "counted noses" on election day. But says the Cana- dian Institute of Public Opinion the Poll studies can reveal what attitudes of mind voters had on the various political issues of the campaign. Lining up the five regions these aftitudes are revealed. Maritimes: As a group, a ater on of citizens named the Liberal rec- ord as main reason for persuading a friend to vote for them, than any- where else in Canada (24 per cent). Almost one in three named 'Time for a change" as main reason for selling someone the idea of voting Prog.-Cons. -- highest proportion in the country. . Almost twe out of three believe that Canada would be better off with Free Trade -- a very high percentage reached again only on the Prairies. More citizens in the Maritimes believe that taxes could NOT be cut without harming the country than anywhere else. Quebec: This Liberal stronghold showed itself enthusiastically Lib- is eral in every way -- except for one very strong exception -- taxation. Whether Quebecois were asked what problem they would most like to discuss with the Prime Minister; what was' their main criticism of rsonali ing the country than the Government; or what was the main problem of the new govern- ment -- overwhelmingly one word came back -- Taxation! Far more, proportionately, in Quebec felt that taxes could be cut without harm- any other region (69. per cent). ut more than half the citizens -- higher proportion than any other ce -- endorsed the Liberals as the best party for handling un- employment, social security meas- ures, and defence problems. Quebec fears Free Trade more than any other region. It is the only province in which 'more citi- zens think Canada would be worse under the as possessing something of a split personality. On the one hand, its citizens know the name of the Rt. Hon, George Drew better than any other; vot- ing patterns as between the two largest parties are very close; and a greater proportion disapproved the election being held in August -- on the other, they. named the Liberal Government as being bet- ter able to do the best job on de- fence, social security and unem- ployment to a much higher degree than they named the Prog.-Cons. Ontario, too, has the highest pro- portion of people who think it makes no difference which party in power. It is the most concerned about housing -- two and three times the percentage of people naming it as, the main election issue, as in other parts. The Prairies: In the western provinces, almost four in ten voted for the Liberals -- and more citi- zens voted for the CCF than - Cons. Strongest criticism of Government, next to taxation, were "No concern for the West" and 'doesn't protect the farmers". Here the highest proportion of peo- ple (66 per cent) think the country would be better off with Free Trade. Asked to mame the main issue of the election, a greater per- centage than in any other area except the Maritimes, said "need for Sew WloodV ore citizens proportionately, named the CCF as doing the best job for unemployment, and social security than Prog.-Cons. They got the same vote for defence. British Columbia: Citizens on the Pacific Coast have least interest of any Region. in the two older parties. While about one in four voted for the CCF -- a still higher proportion voted for Socreds and "other" parties. These citiznes are more concerned about social se- curity and hospitalization prob- lems. They name, more than other provinces, "too much talk" and "extravagance" as main criticism of government. Strong political interest is reveal- ed in the fact that the highest per- centage of any province (52 per cent) think the policy of a is more important than the can date (23 per cent). In B.C. a greater percentage than in any other province think it does make a difference which party is in power. And a larger group, asked how they would per- suade a friend to vote either Lib- eral or Prog. - Cons. -- sali "Wouldn't do it at all!"

Then it occurs to early Risers to take a bath And they shake the house To its foundations by' Running water at top speed, And pot all of the Plumbing into operation, And unmindful of whom They disturb, they love To whistle and sing In the bath-tub. When chided for all the Annoyance they cause The early risers protest That it would be a shame To lie longer in bed and Mise the best of the day. That is all very well, But perhaps it would Be better if they could Be convinced that by Taking themselves off To bed as soon as supper Is over they are missing The best of the night.

Old Street Cars Form Motel Around CALGARY (CP)--Luxurious out- door swimming pools aren't usually associated with churches, espec- ially when the church is interde- nominational and fashioned from an old streetcar.
