@ THE DAYMY VEMBS-GAFPFFL Welnelep, October WN. IW ditorials Whe Dally Vimes-Gaseite (Oshawa, Whitby). by Times-G #7 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario New Industrial Plant Will Mean Great Deal To Whitby Announcement was made yesterday, by J. P. Anderson, president and general manager of the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Goods Company, Limited, of Toronto, of plans for the building of a large tire plant in the town of Whitby. Land was ac- quired by this company in Whitby some five years ago, and it was expected that building operations would be started then. The plans were, however, tempor- arily abandoned, and yesterday's an- nouncement states that an immediate start will be made on clearing and level- ling the ground for the mew plant. While no estimate of the cost of the new plant was forthcoming, it can be pre- sumed that it will be a large project. This can be judged from the statement that it will contain equipment valued at over $1,500,000, and that it is being built on a b5-acre site. Starting with an initial em- ployment of 200 workers, it will be devel- oped until its employment potential reaches over 300. This is good news for the neighboring town of Whitby, which will reap sub- stantial benefits from the establishment there of this important new industry. K ° will provide new sources of employment, and it is also very likely that many of the employees now working in the tire division of the Toronto plant may be transferred to the new factory at Whitby, giving the town a healthy boost ia population. It is interesting to note that the Whit- by Industrial Commission, and the Mayor and Town Council, played an important part in bringing to fruition the hopes for this new industry, hopes engendered five years ago when the property was bought, held in abeyance during the intervening years, and now about to be realized by the actual start of construction of what will be a fine addition to the industries of Whitby. Our neighbours to the west are to be congratulated on their good fortune in having so important a firm decide te establish this large plant in their midst. County Grants To Hospitals There will be great disappointment in Oshawa, Ajax, Port Perry and Uxbridge at the decision of the eounty eouneil of Ontario, by a 15 to 18 vote, to reject the proposals of a special eommittee which recommended that grants be made to- wards the provision of hospital facilities in these municipalities. The hospitals of Ajax and Port Perry are new, but they need substantal eounty assistance in or- der to meet capital costs. Uxbridge has & hospital building scheme in the making, and looks for county aid. And Oshawa, with plans for a 130-bed addition almost completed, and the City of Oshawa com- mitted to a debenture issue of $850,000 for this addition, had every reason to ex- pect that the county of Ontario would see its obligation so eontribute a fair share of the cost. What the majority of the County Council apparently failed to recognise is that while these hospitals are located certain specific municipalities, they exist to give essential service $o the whole county. Their work of healing and cere is not confined to their own municipali- ties. A report published in The Times- Gazette a week ago shows the large em tent to which the various municipalities make use of hospital accommodation, and it is rather striking to find that the re- presentatives of one municipality with an exceptionally high hospitalization record should have voted against the grants, their votes alone being sufficient to de- feat the recommendations of the committee. We are eonfident, however, that this adverse vote last week does not repre- sent the final word of the County Council on this important question. The council will be meeting again in December, and by that time there may have been re- oonsideration on the part of some of its members on the subject. It is unthink- able that a body like the Ontario County Council should seek to evade its obliga- tions and responsibilities in the matter of providing adequate hospital accommo- dation and facilities for the people of the oounty. It may be that a campaign of education is required to show those who opposed the grants the services the hos- pitals give for the benefit of the taxpay- ers they represent. Dead Set Against Communism The Communist delegations which are trying to persuade Chinese and North Korean prisoners to return to their homes under Communist jurisdiction are having a difficult, even tough, time with those prisoners who have stated their deter- mination not to return to their old homes. They are being met with blank refusal on the part of the majority of prisoners to even listen to them. Of 921 Chinese who listened to the lectures of the Com- munists, only 19 asked to be sent back to their homes. The other 902 wanted no part of Communist rule. They were determined not to face what might await them should they go back to Red China. So far as the North Koreans are con- cerned, not one of them has agreed to face the Communist delegation. They have resolutely refused to leave their compounds to meet the Red persuasion teams, The result is that the Communist delegations have almost given up the job Editorial Notes 4 'Poets speak of fall as the dying sea- son of the year.

Their demands that the North Korean prisoners be forced to listen to them having been rejected by the repat- riation eommission, they seem to be up against a stone wall. This has, of course, exposed the falsity of the Reds' claim that these prisoners were being held by the allied nations against their will. There must be a reason for this mass refusal of some 28,400 anti- Communist prisoners to return to their own homeland. Could it be that they are afraid they might be subjected to the process of liquidation? Could it be that in their captivity they learned that in a free world there is more humanity, more consideration of human personality, more healthy living conditions, even for pris- oners, than under a Red dictatorship? Whatever the reason, they are giving the world a lesson that many of those con- demned 'to live under Communist rule would be glad of any opportunity to escape from it. Bit Of Verse DARK GARDEN The garden walks are wet with rain And it is late, and very late. The willow free beside the gate Streams silver on the sky's dark stain. By perfume only can I mark The honeysuckle and the rose, But where the white moonflower blows, Ms pale lamp glimmers in the dark. The wind of after-rain is eool And smooth as water running through The quickened leaves, the hedge of yew-- I stirs the lilies in the pool. Now the swift sandals of the night Are on my feet. Across my face Is blown a veil of raindrop lace. My changeling step is fey and light. The morning sun will come again And shine correctly on each flower. But oh, this brief, enchanted hour In the dark garden, wet with rain! --Silence Buck Bellows. FROM THE COASTAL FORESTS GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Many Canadians Accepting Russia's Peace Overtures By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINON While a majority of Canadians are still suspicious of Russian inten- tions, the fact seems to be that the "peace offensive' dating from the death of Stalin has convinced many Canadians that Russia does not want a war of aggression. As a result the number of Canadi- ans who believe that Russia would start a war "only if provoked" is at its highest point in five years, Believe Russia would start ware To get something she wants Only #f provoked png By way of eomparison, on the same three occasions, the Institute also put this question te voters in its miniature plebiscite: Believe U.S. would start war: based on Institute surveys. At three ¢ different times Canadian opinion has been d by the Canadi Institute on this question: "Do you think Russia would start a war to get something she wanted --or only if provoked?" Ths question was put to an aec- curate cross section of Canadian voters in 1948, again a year ago, and in the Institute's latest poll. The trend in this period is shown in the following table: "Do you think the U.S. would start a war to get something she wanted -- or only if provoked?" To get something she wants .......... Only if provoked crema ede Qualified; : No opiniony . With respect to Russia's inten- tions, greatest confidence is found in the province of British Columbia. As on 30 many issues polled by the Institute, the Pacifice province seems to live in almost a different "opinion climate" from the rest of Canada. For example, in B.C. 41 per cent of those interviewed felt Russia would start a war "'only if provoked', and 42 per cent felt she would star a war "to get something 100% 100% she wanted' -- an almost 50-50 divi- sion of opinion. This is a sharp contrast with the national figure given above. On the matter of U.S. intentions, B.C. is mouch more in line with the national average. United States and Russia are, of course, geographically, Canada's two closest neighbors, and the dif- ference in attitude on this issue is therefore all the more significant.

Unemployment Insurance Regulations Modified OTTAWA (CP)--Amendments to unemployment insurance benefit regulations governing money re- ceived on separation from em- ployment and for holidays were announced Tuesday by the unem- ployment insurance commission. A commission spokesman said the changes were made following representations from a number of unions and employers. He said they represent an easing of the regulations covering money re- ceived on separation from employ- ment and a more equitable method of paying benefits for holidays. Under former regulations a wor- ker who received a gratuity or gift from an employer on termination of employment could not immedi- ately receive unemployment insur- ance benefits. He was not able to collect until the period represented by the gift of money had elapsed. The new regulations stipulate that all gratuities received on ter- mination of employment will be disregarded in determining' whe- ther a person is entitled to benefits, However the commission said that this regulation does not apply if the employee plans to return to work and receives wages under any guaranteed wage plan. It also will not apply to persons such as civil servants receiving retire- ment leave credits or those paid wages in lieu of notice. In these cases the employee must wait until the period represented by the money has elapsed. Manoeuvres Show Turkish Army Is Powerful Force By M MASTERSON GALLIPOLI (AP) -- Allied ob- servers who watched the Turkish Army go through its paces in re- cent manoeuvres here are con- vinced: The Turks won't be a push- over for anybody if war comes. Turkey has a 450,000-man army, ample reserves and a growing air force that now numbers 20.000 men. Forty per cent of the Turk- ish budget goes for defence. The swarthy Turk is a rugged soldier, well trained, well-equipped and disciplined. He's quickly learn- ing how to get the most out of his Uniteq States fighting tools. The Turks hate the Russians. It's a traditional hatred, dating back centuries in the time of the czars, and Turk soldiers are not allowed to forget it. ' At the height of a sham battle only a few miles south of the Com- munist Bulgarian frontier this month, Gen. Nurettin Baransel, Turkish first army commander, stood on a hilltop and said to his troops: 'Always remember that the real enemy are the Russians and the Bulgarians.' Allied officers, who often try to create the impression they haven't Russia and her satellites in mind in- NATO manoeuvres, feign em- barrassment when the tough, prac- tical Turks talk like this. But they're not fooling the Turks, who have a 1,000-mile land and sea frontier with Russia and Bulgaria. The "imaginary enemy" used the same routes in the recent man- oeuvres that Russia has used for centuries to invade Turkey. DEFENCE STRESSED The manoeuvres were aimed at testing Turkish and Greek defences along these routes and the speed with which their NATO Allies could bring aid in event of an invasion. They also underlined the tough job facing Turkey and Greece in defending Thrace against a Soviet MAC'S MUSINGS The other day we listened At the Rotary luncheon To an Oshawa schoolgirl In her early teens, One of our new Canadians, From a European land, Make an eloquent appeal For the Community Chest, That brought tears to The eyes of many of Those who listened, Because her appeal was Based on a poignant Story of what the Red Feather means to Those who benefit from Things done under it.

The treeless rolling plains of Turk- ish Thrace are ideal for tank war- fare. To protect the Bosporous and the area around the Golden Horn, the Turks have built up the Chataldja line, which cuts across a narrow isthmus from the Sea of Marmora to the Black Sea, 40 miles north- east of Istanbul. The Turks also have built up a strong defence line before Gallipoli and the Dardanelles, but here they have a natural barrier to help.

Double-serving Law Unenforcable By DON O'HEARN ial Correspondent to Times-Gazette . park for oct, 20f -- How would you like to have to do something that you know is crazy? That's the position the liquor M- cence board finds itself in. It finds itself every week clos- ing down beverage rooms for two week periods because a waiter has served two beers at a time. We've talked about this double- serving law before. It's nuts. It was never intended as anything but a war restriction measure. To prevent guzziers from gulping all the beer when pubs were only open for half an hour or so. But it's still on the books. And so long as it's the law it has to be enforced. And it is being en- forced . . . with a vengeance. BEST FALL Last week two hotels in Dundas were closed down for an infraction. Every other week it's the same. In passing the verdict on the Collins, one of the Dundas houses, W. T. Nugent, member of the board said: "We are suspending one of the best hotel operators in the province but I have to go along with policy." It had been shown that the op- erator ran an excellent establish- ment. A really good hotel. Even the mayor of the town pleaded for him. But the board had no choice. There was conclusive evidence of Jouble serving and it had to follow aw. WON'T OBEY And this despite the fact it must know the law is unenforceable. Human nature is human nature, and it is so patently silly that a man shouldn't have two glasses if front of him #¥ he wants them that customers won't respect # and neither will waiters. And if you are a bar praprietor how are you going to make them? Keep an eye on every table and follow every tray of beer? GOOD GOATS The bad part of the business is that some of the best men in the hotel industry are being made goats of while the riff-raff carries on unchecked. In addition to the Collins Sate we know of at least one other where a good raf in this case as ip A cence holder as there is In the province, was knocked off. And why? Because a few weeks ago the Toronto papers put on pressure for a clean-up. The board ordered an enforcement drive. It's the inspectors that do the driving. They obeyed the order. And natur- ally they concentrated on this wide-open point of attack. BETTER WAY There is one saving about the campaign. When 'even good operators are closed up all licence holders will pay more attention to their business. But surely this can be achieved in a more responsible way. And the right people aren't be caught. Why, for instance, haven we seen anyb from Sudbury before the board? There probably is more abuse there than ang where in the province. Seldom has the law been such an ass. SCUGOG ISLAND Donation to Hospital Is Approved SCUGOG ISLAND -- Grace Unit- ed Church WA held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, October 4, with ladies present.
