\ © THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, September 21, 1053 E ditorials ¥he Sally Wimss-auits (Oshawa: Will) Vy Timeso Simese Sirest Semth, Oshawa, Omtarie Oshawa is Fortunate In Social Welfare Agencies Within the next month, the annual campaign of the Oshawa Community 'Chest will be under way, and our citi- zens will be asked to raise the sum of $120,000 to make it possible for 16 social and welfare agencies of the city to carry on their work for the next year. This sys- tem of pooling the needs of 16 agencies into one campaign, and putting all the resources of the community into this one effort, has long ago won the seal of pub- lic approval. It has resulted in the citi- zens of Oshawa and district winning for themselves the enviable record of never failing to exceed the objectives set in their Corhmunity Chest Campaigns. Oshawa is fortunate in having these 16 social and welfare agencies to take care of the needs of its people, old and young: Within the framework of these 16 organizations there is as complete a ser- vice to meet their recreational, social and welfare needs as any community could desire. There is no age group neg- lected, from the Victorian Order of Nurs- es looking after new born babies to the Golden Age Club providing for our sen- ior citizens. The recreational needs of our young people are well met. The train- ing of our boys and girls through the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides and Simcoe Hall is in sound hands. Through the CRA the recreational needs of the community are met, and the YWCA provides a great variety of activities for the girls and young women. One could go through the whole list of organizations to show the vital part they all play in the life of the community. ; Oshawa is fortunate in having a great number of citizens who are devoting their time and energies to the work of these 16 organizations. These are voluntary work- ers, who undertake these essential duties because of love of their community and of their fellow-human beings, regardless of age. Without these voluntary workers, of- ficers in organizations, there would not be in our city the fine structure of social, recreational and welfare activities that we now enjoy. This work will go on into the future if the people of the city keep up their splendid record and again go over the top in the 1953 Community Chest Campaign. : Oshawa a Sport-Minded City The developments which have been brought to light since the burning down of the Oshawa Arena on Tuesday of last week have revealed that Oshawa is truly a sports-minded city, that it has a great amount of participation sport. It was revealed that not only the Oshawa Generals, the Oshawa Truckmen and the Oshawa Skating Club had lost a home for their season's activities, but that a host of young lads playing hockey in min- or leagues would also be deprived of their season's sport. Truly the number of ac- tive sport participants affected by the loss of the Arena is much greater than we had realized. Yet these represent only a small frac- tion of the thousands of Oshawans who are sports partipipants. In winter there are the many hundreds who belong to bowling leagues, and the additional num- bers who are ardent curlers. There are other indoor sports, too, which have their following, such as basketball, darts and billiards. : To. follow the cycle of the year, and cite the people who are interested, as participants, in such sports as golf, ten- nis, softball, baseball, cricket, lawn bowl- ing, cycling, swimming, track and field events, rugby, football, reveals that the great mass of the people of Oshawa are interested in sports of one kind or an- other. And added to them are the thou- sands who may not be interested as par- ticipants, but who are ardent spectators and followers of their favorite sports. A sports - minded community is a healthy community. Participation in sport breeds a sense of sportsmanship, of fair play, on the mental side, and make for building healthy bodies on the physical side. There is little wrong with the citi- zens of a community who, in such large numbers as in Oshawa, are acquiring these characteristics. Talk Will Not Solve Problem A "three-way movement" te rid On- tario of level crossings is urged in the usual resonant terms by Highways Minis- ter Doucett. There are, it is stated, 3,000 such crossings in Ontario, and all are danger- ous. One wonders, is this the usual arrest- ing, vote-seeking but getting-nowhere pronouncement to which Toronto has ac- customed us? Hon. Mr. Doucett has been Ontario highways minister for ten years. ; The grade crossings were in existence even before he took over, and their prob- lem has been increasing throughout his regime. Long before Mr. Doucett's time, the federal government set up a Grade Cross- ings Fund to aid municipalities and rail- ways in eliminating grade crossings. ~ Editorial Notes Slavery is charged against U.S. foot- sall as it has been charged against Cana- dian hockey. But all of us are slaves to something or other.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCUATION FOR AUGUST 11,549 < a Ontario, 128 ARAN ARIA Fic | The fund was, we believe, to supple- ment contributions to the cost of the ne- cessary work from other sources such as municipalities and railways. What has Mr. Doucett done in the past ten years to take advantage of this pro- vision? As head of the highways department, and in charge of the provincial highways on whose crossings the greatest danger presumably exists, the initiative in any action should surely be his. There are in Ontario, it is said, 3,000 level crossings all of which Mr. Doucett intimates should be eliminated. But as a first step, Mr. Doucett might start something in connection with at least a few of the more dangerous cross- ings. That may not be as easy as talking 'sententiously on the topic, but it would surely do more good. ~ The Brantford Expositor merits a bou- quet for coming up with this one: "The nurse who won a CNE whistling contest . and $25 might be said to have pursed her lips."

QUEEN'S PARK \ ¥ "Ontario To Crack Down On Liquor 5) A 1 OTTAWA REPORT Scientists May Ease Milk Problem By PATRICK NICKOLSON OTTAWA -- While strike-stricken Toronto housewives were doing their own long-distance hauling of milk or feeding their families on the canned product scientists in the Ottawa laboratories of our Na- tional Research Council were push- ing ahead experiments which might put milk delivery men out of work and relieve the housewife's budget. The objective of these studies is 'to devise a method of evaporating milk in such a way that it can be reconstituted by the user into whole milk indistinguishable from fresh milk. A quart of milk concentrated almost into a half-pint bottle and frozen for preservation is already foreseen as a likely companion in groceterias for the convenient small cans of frozen concentrated orange juice. If this hope is re- alized the housewife will be able to buy her week's supply of milk at one time with her other foods. JUST LIKE FARM MILK When the housewife thaws this frozen concentrate and adds three parts of water to it it will settle out into something indistinguish- able from fresh milk with its collar of cream on top. The secret of this new process is that the milk is concentrated by evaporation at the unusually low lemporaiure of 75 degrees. This avoids the burnt flavor some- times associated with milk which has been evaporated at the cus- tomary temperature of 125 degrees. The process has not been fully perfected yet because if the frozen milk is kept more than eight weeks times turns out chalky or even tim turns out chalky or even curded. But the scientists working on this problem under Dr. Dyson Rose here say that they are con- fident that this one remaining snag can be ironed out. The process of concentrating and freezing milk will necessitate the installation of new machinery in dairies. But this cost will be large- ly offset by the cheaper trucking and handling costs of the concen- trated product. To dairy farmers this process Tp will mean that their surplus pro- duction in the flush season can be stored against demand in the sea- son of short production. To house- wp; wives it will mean lower prices through the elimination of the most costly and antiquated distribution system associated with our food supply. WHERE THE MONEY GOES Seven years ago housewives were shocked by a jump from 11 cents to 13 cents a quart in the price of milk. The Ontario gov- ernment decided to appoint a com- mission to study milk prices. Later in the same year the price jumped another three cents. Based on the results of a federal sur- 'vey it was then estimated that dairies paid the farmer 9.1 cents a quart; pasteurization and bot- tling cost 1.5 cents; delivery charge was 4 cents; administration and overhead costs of the dairies were 1 cent; and they made a profit of 0.4 cent. Today the price has risen to 22 cents in many communities. The farmer gets about four cents of this higher price while delivery charges absorb most of the re- mainder. Much of this approximately six cents per quart c¢ ed for de- livery would be eliminated by the housewife supplying her own cour- teous self-service in the groceteria and delivering her own concen- trated frozen milk direct to her own refrigerator. ; Coronation Film. Sets Record Through more than a thousand prints of the J. Arthur Rank color film "A Queen is Crowned", cities and hamlets on five continents are enthusiastically sharing the solemn and joyous sequence of events here on June 2 last, Melita Knowles writes from London to The Chris- tian Science Monitor. To date the film has been shown in 52 countries. It has been trans- lated into eight languages and dubbed in many more. EXECUTIVES BUSY B Shirt-sleeved executives in the Rank office in London have been kept busy all summer with cables and telephone messages which pour in regarding the year's big- gest box office success. Demands of the big cities of the world were met first. Three tons of films were flown to America in one aircraft. Japan, Sydney and Auckland were next. Take - off times for copies to places like Stockholm, Singapore, Athe ns, Rangoon, Paris and so on were separated only by hours. Reports reach here of tremen- dous enthusiasm in New York. The film is said' to be in its twelfth week (August 24 to 30 at the Guild Cinema there and still showing to packed audiences. Takings to date (August 24) are said to be $156,- 760 (£55,000), the largest sum ever earned,by one picture at an Amer- ican specialized cinema like the Guild. FOREIGN REPORTS The cables from foreign exhibi- tors, including republican coun- tries, give an idea of the tremen- dous welcome the film has had: From America: "House records broken, New York, Boston and De- troit." . Austria: 'Performance inter- rupted frequently by spontaneous applause." Germany: "Such tremendous re-selling of -a film never been nown here." . Switzerland: "Audience over- whelmed by splendor." Sweden: "Roaring applause by enthusiastic audiences." A German critic said: "I wanted to throw up my hat and shout 'God Save the Queen' "' A French news- paper declared: "The film makes you want to be British." Reports of audience reaction are interesting. It was not expected that foreign peoples would feel the solemnity and emotion of a Brit- ish audience. Yet the dignity and beauty of the film create their own atmosphere wherever it is shown. CROWDED DAY For the big day, June 2, every technicolor camera in Europe was "commandeered." More than a thousand technicians stood by to process negatives brought by dispateh riders from the Coronation route to the color process laboratories near London airport. . Meanwhilé copies of the suggest- ed script had been sent overseas to await advance prints of the film for subtitling in every important language throughout the world. The cost of this great film air lift alone has been more than £100,000, equal to the cost of mak- ing a normal top-rate black and white Rank feature film, The return in terms of hard for- eign currency however, has been gratifying to the British treasury, no less than to the Rank Organiza- tion which made the film. wz COLETTE MARCHAND WEDS LONDON (AP)--Colette (Legs) Marchand, the tall, blonde French ballerina who won screen fame as the street walker in 'Moulin Rouge' was married to orchestra conductor Jacques Bazire in a hush-hush civil ceremony Friday.

There has been a rumpus in Toronto about the city's infamous Jarvis street, One of the local dailies did a crusading feature. Gave it a bi play and followed up with excite statements from the mayor and controllers. And then Premier Frost took the ball. He issued a statement say- ing there would be a crackdown on liquor violations -- not only in Toronto but all through the prov- ince OLD STORY And just how is the crackdown to be carried out? This the pre- . And we don't think he can This is at least the third time when on similar occasions we can recall equally similar bold words. And what has the result been? Very unimpressive. For a short time more licence holders would be hailed before the Liquor Board And then back to the old routine. JARVIS STREET There is argument 'whether Jar- vis street is necessary. Some peo- ple believe it is necessary to have a cesspool in every large city. And it isi better kept the one spot. The low-ebb humans who infest it are going to drink anyway and it is easier to keep control of them this, Toronto's has been going for a long time now. If the desire is to clean it up it could have been done in any of the earlier crack- downs. Why isn't it? In our opinion be- cause the government under the present system can't do it: There is a divided authority in liquor enforcements. Local police and liquor licence board inspectors both have their hands on it. Local police supposedly are to check up on drunkenness, over - se S, crowding and the rest. Lhervings, 3 spectors are primarily re sible . other for sanitation, service board regulations, There has been ample evidence for years that this doesn't work. Local police in practically all com- munities don't polyice bars. say it is a job for the liquor Bi An ihe board Joeay't accept this -- and co 5 the staff it has. m_l NEED INQUIRY What is the answer? We don't know. Perhaps it should be a sep- arate provincial liquor squad. Per- haps full control of liquor estab- lisments incl licen should be Sve to municipal a A t we do know is that it illus- trates once more the need for a thorouogh inquiry into liquor.

Thousands upon thousands of claim posts have been driven into the rock, tundra, muskeg and sandy overburden of this giant - size, mineral rich mining area. SHARP INCREASE More; than 76,500 claims have been staked in the first six months of the year. That's almost three times last year's six-month figure. of 27,893. All the provinces except Ontario and British Columbia have shown increases over last year's figures. So has the Yukon and Northwest Territories. And Ontario, which at June 30 was anniz © about 100 claims behind last year's half-year total, has by now taken yp the slack with a staking spree inthe Blind River area New Brunswick, virtually igngr- ed mining men until a few short months ago, has seen feverish staking activity. About 30,000 claims have been staked as base metals prospects in the first half of the year, Lands and Mines Director C. S§. Clem- efits estimates.. In the same period last year only 841 claims were re- corded in the Maritime provinces. IN SASKATCHEWAN Saskatchewan with 12,192 claims staked, mainly for uranium chances (60 per cent in the Beaver- lodge area, 20 per cent Foster is next in lime. recording 12,000 - odd claims, Saskatchewan has shown a healthy 11,129 increase over last year's 1,063 total.

Ontario 'is fourth. : Then comes Nova Scotia, Maritimes newcomer to big-figure staking. In the first half of 1958 Nova Scotia has issued 373 pros- pecting licences which represent about 4,500 - 5,000 claims actually held under licence. Last year less 3am half that number was issued, Manitoba has also seen more than double last year's first-half staking activity. To June 30 Mani- toba recorded 3,198 claims. BRITISH COLUMBIA Both the Yukon and Northwest Territories have experienced re- juvenation. The Yukon chalked up 1,658 claims (only 394 last year) and NWT 1,394, more than twice last year's 647. The Whitehorse district has been the prospector's favorite Yukon area; 1,558 claims ' were staked. Yellowknife, with 1,202 claims, is the most active spot in' NWT. Alberta, although it boasts a total of 16 claims had been re- corded in the province. Of this, year's half-year total, 344 were quartz claims, the remaining four placer. ® PRIVATE POOL © COFFEE SHOP A Motel in the MODERN manner!
