@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, February 19, 1954 ditorials The Daily TimesGasetie (Oshawa, Whitby), published by TimesGusotie Publishers, Limited Full Accreditation Proves Hospital's Standards High The finest tribute which could be paid to any hospital in Canada or the United States for the quality of the service ren- dered to its patients has been accorded to the Oshawa General Hospital. It has been granted full accreditation by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hos- pitals, the highest authority in that field on the continent. This Commission is re- presentative of the highest medical and hospital associations in Canada and ,the United States. He, In addition to this signal distinction given to the Oshawa General Hospital, its worth as an institution has been recogniz- ed by other important bodies. It has been "approved" by the Ontario Department of Health for the training of student nurses. It has been "approved" by the Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists for the training of laboratory technicians, and by the Canadian medical association for the training of interns. These honors are not given lightly. They are awarded only after a meticulous evaluation of the hopsital's services. So the Oshawa General Hospital is to be con- gratulated on the fact that in spite of its overcrowded condition, in spite of its lack of physical facilities which are to be pro- vided with the new hospital wing, the quality of its service to patients and to the medical and nursing professions is of a sufficiently high standard to merit the accolades bestowed on it. ; The people of Oshawa can be proud of their hospital as an efficient and well-ad- ministered institution. They will have even greater reason to be proud of it when the new additions to it are complet ed, providing greater accommodation for patients and fully adequate space for all those services which are essential to its functioning as an institution of healing. Invasion Of Freedom Of Press What seems to us like a glaring in- vasion of the freedom of the press, and possibly the thin end of the wedge in one province of Canada, is reported in the Vancouver News-Herald, It seems that the Speaker of the British Columbia leg- {slature has issued orders barring news- paper photographers from the opening of the House. If the newspapers wish to publish pictures of the ceremonies, they will have to print pictures handed out by ment and possibly, censored by the govern- ment, and posibly, censored by the govern- ment. The report states that mounted police will be on hand to see that no one other than the government photographer takes pictures on this important occasion. At the same time, the golden gates of the legislative assembly will be swung open for the television cameramen of the CBC, and their equipment will be escorted in by another set of mounted police. Thus it is to be only through government agen- cies that the people will be able to see pictures of the opening of the Legislature at Victoria. The next thing we know the govern- ment 'will be trying to bar newspaper reporters from tHe Legislature in its bee lief that it would be better for the people if they read only government news hand- outs. It possibly would be more pleasant for the government, but it would soon be apparent that it was not better for them. Our liberties, as we have frequently been reminded in recent years, are indi- visible. Freedom of information and free- dom of access to information constitute the liberty that is basic to all others. We must ever be alert to challenge any move to curtail it. Young Lady Drivers' Good Record ' Those male motorists, always criti- eal of women drivers, who believe, when a woman signals that she is about to make a left-hand turn that either she is drying her finger nail polish or deter- mining whether it's raining have now been bowled for a loop by those most concerned about safe driving--the insur- ance companies, § These insurance experts who watch the accidents and who's to blame for them --ecount women drivers under 25 better than men of the same age. 'So much better, in fact, that there's a noteworthy change in the new premium * rating schedule for automobile insurance. A car-owner in whose household there is a male driver under 25 will have to pay Editorial Notes Temperance forces are girding them- selves for the beer and wine votes in Ogh- awa's annexed areas, They are determined not to have beer establishments in what they regard as ideal residential areas. We saw a grocery item the other day with a former price of "12 cents" on the package overprinted with a price of + "13145 cents." As this was obviously in stock when the price was 12 cents, the . change represents an extra and unjusti- fied profit of one and a half cents on each package. The Daily Times-Gazette By TIMES-GAZ!

Last year, companies writing automobile in- surance paid out more than $75,000,000 in accident claims--a part of the cost of careless and discourteolis driving. Bit Of Verse HILLTOP SONG When the lights come out in the cottages Along the shores at eve, And across the darkening water The last pale celors leave. And up from the rock-ridged pasture slopes The sheepbell tinklings steal, And the folds are shut, and the shepherds Turn to their quiet meal; And even here, on the unfenced heights, No journeying wind goes by, But the earth--sweet smells and i the home--gweet sounds Mount, like prayers, to the sky. Then from the doer of my opened heart Old blindness and pride are driven, Till T know how high is the humble, The dear earth how close to heaven. ~Charles G. D. Roberts Other Editors' Views TRISH TROUBLES (Niagara Falls Review) As might have been expected, that attack on and stripping of a British goldier in Northern Ire- land by extreme Irish Nationalists has had the opposite effect to what was intended and has created a wave of bitterness and antagonism - against early reunion of all Ireland. Clashes such as those will do much to postpone any reunion, of Northern and Southern Jreland.

It is a strike of Canadian consumers. Wages are at an all-time high across Canada; we have more spending money than ever before, but retail sales are falling. We Canadians can afford to buy what we need, and also to buy on im- pulse many things that we do not need. But that impulse is being held back today by buyers who are gick and tired of being pushed around and of receiving less than value for their money over the past 15 years. E That is why inventories are pil- ing up and sales are faiung. This is not a recession; this 4s a buy- ers' strike. . Ottawa has not said this in ex- acl.y these blunt words. Bat cab- inet miuisters have bcen telling as much t; delegations from labor and maaagement in idustries who are beginning to feel the effects of this buyers' strike. C. D. Howe, now acting prime minister, bluntly told workers in the farm implement industry that they had better be careful that wage Increases do not price farm implements out of the market. TEN OMMANDMENTS The Freuhauf Trailer Company of Canada recently public its own 10 Commandments for Goo! Business. These start: 1. A customer is the most im- portant person in any business. 2. A customer is not dependent upon us--we are dependent upon 'him. 3. A customer does us a favor when he calls--we are not doing him a favor by serving him. These follow up the: pre-war adage that "The customer is al- ways right."' During the war, that was changed to "Don't you know there is a war on?" 'snarled at the customer by any and every person with goods or services to sell. That phrase is no logger used, but mentality lingers on--that the customer is a sucker over whom the seller can ride rough-shod. The brutal fact is that today the customer too often does not get full value in goods and services or his money, so "he--or more often, she--is holding back from buying. 'the dress sold with a hem un- sewn, the new coat with a button loose, the new ear delivered with rattles and the amateur snapshots scratched in processing are all ty-, pical daily examples of poor work- manship allowed to pass by slip- shod checking. Eggs whose shells are broken in delivery, meat which is tough because it is sold too soon after killing, doors which do not shut in «the new house, and shirts whose buttons are torn off in the laundry are all examples of . slipshod work by employees who have not troubled to learn their job or to earn their wages because they have no fear of un- employment in this labor - short country. EFFICIENT SELF-SERVICE Farmers today are carefully re- pairing and using their outworn equipment rather than buying new, so, the farm implement industry came squav mg to Ottawa for help. Thess armers are motivated by the sgme thing which has made us all amateur house-painters and plumbers and even home-builders. Many Canadian goods are al- ready, priced out of export mar- kets; now they are beginning to price themselves out of our do- d mestic market too. "Startling and unpleasant as it may be, there is evidence that Canada is tending to become a high-cost economy," warned James Muir, president of the Royal Bank of Canada. "Some argue that this must be blamed on high wages® which are out of line with produc- tivity." That is the key: Canadians are able and willing to pay high prices, but they justifiably expect corres- pondingly high value; and today they do not get it. A recession happens when people cannot afford to buy. But custom- ers can afford to buy in Canada today -- they just prefer not to be taken for a ride. That is why Ottawa believes that this is no recession -- it i§ a buyers' strike. REGAINS PROSPERITY German Merchant Fleet Is Growing By HARRY GELBER BONN (Reuters)--German ae tional colors are fying from mastheads of passenger i pa for the first time in 15 years as West Germany forges steadily ad to- ward regaining some of the coun- try's pre-war maritime prosperity. A few West German ghips have made a modest start toward re: building the sea-going trade which during the war was reduced from a pound German merchant fleet of nearly 4,500,000 tons, the fifth largest in the world, to about 100, 000 tons of small, old tered ships. Now, the 19,105-ton motorship Gripsholm, chartered from Bwe- den, has begun a North Atlantie assenger service for the North rman Lloyd Company of Bre- men. Manteo, by a German crew under Capt. Heinrich Lorenz, last commander of the Bremen, Ger. many's pre-war luxury liner, the Gripsholm arrived in New York Feb. 13 after ¢ ak at Halifax, STEADY RISE BEE The first medium-sized cargo- passenger ship built in West Ger- many since the war, the 9,000- ton Schwabenstein, has left on her maiden voyage to east Asia. She can carry 86 passengers and 10,000 tons of cargo, Since November, 1949, when the newly-constituted federal republic and the Western allies signed the Petersberg agreement removing limitations on the size and speed and bat- 450 of ships, on passenger ca y 4 oy buyin; hips a on ere as n a steady rise in German Shipbuilding. y West Germany's merchant fleet now totals about 1,800,000 tons, in- 417,000 gross registered cludin fone of pew construction in 1953, 225,000 tons 1951, and 90, 1052, 235,000 tons in tons in 1950, About 600,000 tons of shipping has been bought abroad.

QUEEN'S PARK Hospitals Likely To Have More Rid By DON O"HEARN Special Correspondent to es-Gagette The ' Tim TORONTO--To continue yester- day's observations on the session: Health: Two important steps are being taken. irst, more aid is to be given to hospitals. No one possibl Sives disagree with this, except that it probably won't be enough to satisfy most people. An inquiry committee into hospital costs and methods of operation and administration, still could do a Sood job. There has been no further indication, how- ever, as to whether it will be a point. There are a lot of prominent bee MAC'S MUSINGS peop on our hospital boards throughout the province and the government could have am under- standable reluctance that such a We remember hearing some Experts on watercourses And streams discussing The prevalence of foods Every spring along the Banks of many streams, And they were anxious To find out why it was That places which in The old days never used To suffer from floods Were now subject to them With each spring freshet.

Fewer Trucks Bought In 1953 OTTAWA (CP)--Canadians last year bought more new cars than ever before but the smallest num- ber of new trucks since 1949. The bureau of Statistics today re- ported that sales of all new motor vehicles in 1953 reached 461,887-- 15 per cent above the 400,777 sold in 1952 and more than four times the 114,747 sold in 1939, The previous peak was 420,605 vehicles in 1950.

Labor Act: Labor Minister Charles Daley has confirmed that the Labor Relations Act is. to be amended. This is a major step in- uch as the Act hasn't en changed since it was first intro- duced in 1950, with the exception of a few minor amendments.

Some education authorities are moving to the opinion that "six of the best" hurt kids Jsyehologically as well as Physical ly. Flogging nowadays is mainly the backbone of the disciplinary sys- tem in Britain's "public" schools-- actually exclusive private schools. One school where flogging is an exact science is Eton ge founded by King Henry V1 aroun 1440. At Eton there are three types of corporal punishment: 1. Prefects--seniors who have special privileges--are allowed to wallop their juniors with a bam- boo stick. But they must first ob- tain permission from the head- master. If the stick breaks the victim has to pay for it, . The head boy and members of the society called "pop" are also permitted to flog boys for 'offences against the good name of the school." The members of "pop" are boys who have distin- guished themselves at studies and sport. HEADMASTER USES TWIGS 3.
