§ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, May 19, 1955 Editorials OTTAWA REPORT MAYBE MAC HAD A GOOD IDEA by Times Gazette Publishers Liinited The Uatly Th Whitty) #7 Simeoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario. Will Maintain Unbiased Attitude In Election | For many years now it has been the policy of The Times-Gazette to maintain complete independence in political af- fairs. This has especially been the case at the time of elections for the federal parliament or provincial legisla~ ture. This does not mean a policy of silence. It does mean that The Times- Gazefte will not give its support to any candidate in its columns, but will main- tain an unbiased and impartial attitude towards the various parties and their candidates, 1f issues arise on which it is felt clarification or comment is necessary for the information of its readers, they will be dealt with as the occasion and the subject demand, So far as the news columns of this newspaper are concerned, the events and incidents of the campaign will be reported accurately and objectively, No favors will be given to any one candidate which are not as freely available to the others, Cam- paign meetings and speeches will be reported fully, regardless of which candi- date or party is involved, A sincere effort will be made to see that all are given equal treatment in the matter of space devoted to meetings and other events relevant to the campaign, ; Partisan propaganda of any kind, how- ever, will find no place in the news or editorial columns of The Times-Gazette, The advertising columns of the newspaper are available for such material, for which the candidates and their organizations must take the responsibility. The use of the "Readers' Views" column for the dis- gemination of election propaganda, how- ever, will not be permitted, as this is the policy which The Times-Gazette has adopted for many yeays. In brief, then, The Times-Gazette will devote itself to publishing all the legiti- mate news of the élection campaign, with- out prejudice, fear or favor. It will leave the purely propaganda aspects of the campaign to the parties which are con- testing the election, Industry Held Back By Taxes Government informants claim that un- employment is declining at a greater rate than a year ago. This is an encouraging sign. Yet it is to be hoped that it will not encourage the government to such an ex- tent that it should renew its sleep of leth- argy. One of the main tasks of "government informants" seems to be to unearth pleas- ing statistics so that the powers-that-be may assure themselves that all is well, But there is little evidence abroad today to suggest that all is well, There is evi- dence that points to the fact that condi- tions are not nearly as good as the gov- ernment would like to have the people be- lieve. For instance, the same informants re- port that numerically, unemployment is greater. They indicate that there has been an increase of 100,000 in the labor force, and state that employment has not kept pace with this growth. In this, there seems to be some effort to shift the re- sponsibility to the employers. What the people must recognize is that the govern- ment has not made it possible for indus- try to expand to cope with a growing la- bor force. The tax structure works against an éxpanding industry. And the relief offered by the latest budget is not likely to offer sufficient impetus to in- dustry. It is scarcely likely, therefore, that un- der existing conditions the number of un- employed will fall below that of last year, despite the fact that unemployment is de- creasing at a greater rate. In another month, there will be another movement from schools to the labor markets when thousands of young men and women gra- duate from the high schools and univer- sities of the nation. We are deceiving ourselves if we pre- tend that all is well, And the government is failing the nation if it does not make some concerted effort to correct a very dangerous situation. So far, there has been very little to suggest that the pres. ent federal government is aware of the situation, although the opposition ele. ments have done their best to stir the gov. ernment to action, Beautifying City Of Oshawa The Oshawa Horticultural Society is once again carrying out its extensive pro- gram of civic beautification, Not only is it spending its funds freely to turn local eyesores into beauty spots, but many of its members are giving their volunteer la- bor freely, without remuneration, to car< ry out these projects, In these days when it is difficult to find people to do jobs of work without any monetary reward, this is something unusual and praiseworthy. But this trend towards beautification of the city is not confined to the public projects of the society. The beautiful spring weather is making it easy for men and women to get out in their gardens. The effect of tHis is to be seen in many places. Lawns appear well trimmed, flow- Editorial Notes Cake-mix for kiddies is now on the toy market, but it probably won't taste as good to them as the old-fashioned mud pies. A commentator remarks, "The, impat- ience of people is what is driving them to an early grave." Especially if they are motorists. .

In this southern section of Ontario there is more than usual opportunity for beautifying the home surroundings, There has been a definite advance along this line in recent years and as a result the whole district offers increasing attrac- tiveness to both residents and visitors. Keeping homes and other premises neat and tidy is a sign of good citzenship, Peo- ple who like their homes to be orderly can usually be trusted to perform other du- ties in a well conceived manner, Few things will bring greater return ° in health and contentment than the work required to see that home surroundings are well kept. Other Editors' Views LAND OF FREE AND BRAVE (Windsor Star) During the final months of the curgent fiscal year, the U.S. Treasury hopes to tap taxpayers for almost $6,000,000,000 every 30 days. Outside of this, we understand, it still is the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free, Bit of Verse FREEDOM UNLIMITED "Where freedom is, there 's my home," he said-- In tribute to our country in his day, And mindful of the part he chose to play-- Ben Franklin, kind of heart and wise of head, "1 offer you another thought instead." Spoke up Tom Paine, in his assertive way; "Where liberty is not, is where I'll stay Until the foes of liberty are dead." Thus, with his sharp last word he seemed to shame The gentle Franklin's more complacent mind, And pushed our frontiers out to distant lands Where liberty was nothing but a name. Philosopher and zealot thus combined To chart the course which our own time demands. RUSSELL PETTIS ASKUE Bible Thoughts - Fear is the enemy of happiness.

All the others are Scandinavian blonde. In the last 14 months there have been three Edouard- Lambert weddings, and each was a big social event. All paris was there, and the three buffets one in the pavilion and two on the lawn, were surrounded by at least 500 guests, MINK TO THE FORE Picture hats were as numerous * as were little flowered headwear. It was a case of. either very big or very small, and no half mea- sure. Mink was also to the fore.

Lis- teners were thrilled and inspired by an orgy of music for all tastes. QUEEN'S PARK Dempsey Case Rocks Legislation By Don O'Hearn 1 Special Corespondent The Times-Gazette TORONTO: Probably for years to come the case of James Shannon Dempsey will be a subject of dis- cussion and controversy, ! The dismissal of the veteran South Renfrew member by Prem- jer Frost and the PC party heir. archy is one of those political in. cidents which live and live because all of the details never become un- velled to the public. They are cloudy Incidents that never sce the clear sky. In this case the incident started in a cloud with a hidden political gift. It continued so when Mr. Dempsey originally gave his reason for withdrawing as ill health, And though this aspect of it has been cleared up there are others, such as who was the instigator of the whole matter, which will probably always remain secret, TALKS PLAINLY Mr, Dempsey says he will run again. It wouldn't be surprising to see him do' so, and to carry the seat, The Renfrews are real political hattling-ground. They are one of the few remaining sections of the rovjnce where politics are still ought with the intensity--and the personalities--of the old days. The veteran lumberman suits the area to the ground, He also is an old-school Joliticton in that he is a great fighter, He also has the added quality that he is independent, and says what he thinks without regard for parly "loyalty" or hurt feelings: South Renfrew likes that, There aré those in the PC party who won't be unhappy to see Him in trouble. ips ars cars moge | MAC'S MUSINGS We have just had an Interesting talk with We have visited Scotland And in conversation he Said he believed that The people in Canada Were much more loyal to Their churches, and gave Them much greater support, Both by their attendance And financially, than They are in Scotland, This interested us, Because it fits very Well with our own Observations made when We havevv visited Scotland In recent years and noted Much more apathy to Matters of religion than One finds in Canada, Perhaps this is because Canada is a younger Country, and has in its Population so many young People who are anxious To start their lives Right and keep them Right, look to The ce T living 1 We take it as a hi Tribute to Canada ot) Its people when this Noted Scottish minister Finds our way of life Provides for the exercise Of religious obligations To such an extent that It is noteworthy, at the start of an el .

Inevitably there are those who believe he was venal, However, to many he was only a victim of his forthright self, Particularly he made the mis. take of giving a receipt, But whatever the merits Mr. Frost wouldn't be able to see He has a conviction amountin practically to a phobia on Ona and - whoever master-minded this disclosure must have known this, and that whatever embarrassment i S23 iat t ; g H tf ' ! : 3 i | H : : { 2 = =H i feat g ! ol | : s' time Mixed," consisting parts of gin, French Ver- SER J TEE HSL iss sk 8 < = Ex is" =I 533 HH : 3, 5 £ = iE H £2 But now we live, believe it or not, in a Man's Age.
