THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, December 28, 1955 Church Never More Needed Than at the Present Time As we approach the end of the year, the people of Oshawa are looking for- ward to the Oshawa Crusade which opens in this city next Monday. This crusade, sponsored by the Oshawa Ministerial Association, is to be con- ducted by the Rev. Leighton Ford, brother-in-law of the famous Billy Graham, and a leading member of his evangelistic team. The purpose behind it is to arouse in our people a deeper sense of the need of the influence of religion in their lives, and to build up the Christian churches of Oshawa. There never was a time in our his- tory when the church and its ministry were needed as they are today. This country has entered on a new era of growth and expansion. This is a good thing. Yet, with periods of prosperity there is a ndoncy on the part of peo- ple to concentrate on material things. They tend to try to lay up wealth, with whatever power and influence it may bring them. The nation's population is growing Plan to Promote In an effort to spur immigration from Britain and Europe, the Canad- ian government has announced a plan of assistance to prospective immi- grants. The entrance of newcomers into Canada has slumped badly in the last year. There have been two reasons for this. One was Canada's heavy un- employment last winter. The other was the high standards of employment and prosperity in Britain and European countries. These two conditions dis- couraged migration to Canada. With employment opportunities in Canada now at a high level, the gov- ernment is extending its plan of as- sisted passage. Assisted passages were formerly restricted to a few categories to fill labor-short fields. The largest groups assisted under the former plan were farm laborers, domestic servants, nurses, school teachers, stenograph- ers and some skilled workers. Now all immigrants from Britain and Europe more rapidly. Across Canada there is a mighty upsurge in industrial expan- sion. Great natural resources are being developed. Rural areas have changed. There has been a dramatic stirring in the nation's life. But there can be no real greatness without character. The Christian in- stitutions of our land, and the practice of Christian principles are at the very root of all other forms of welfare and prosperity. Without these principles, our people cannot attain the best and highest in life. "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The church is the bulwark of right- eousness. Through their fidelity to it and to its gospel our people can make material prosperity a stepping-stone to spiritual greatness. It is to make the church a vital factor in the lives of our citizens that the Oshawa Crusade is being held. May we pray that it will be fruitful, and that it will be blessed with the results which are desired. Immigration will be permitted to obtain govern- ment loans to help pay their passages. The scheme is also broadened to pro- vide loans for dependents of prospec- tive immigrants and those now in Canada. The loans provided are to be for two years, free of interest, to cover ocean and inland transportation for those lacking the necessary funds. It is the hope of the government that they will stimplate migration to this country, and overtake the slump of the last year, when immigration from Europe dropped by over 40,000. With Canada in need of more popu- lation to take part in the development of its natural resources, and to in- crease the home market for the na- tion's products, this looks like a good move on the part of the government. A year from now we will be able to assess its effectiveness in bringing more people to Canada. Bulganin's Five Principles Throwing out the idea that there should be another conference of the great powers similar to the recent Geneva meeting, Premier Bulganin of the Soviet Union sets out five prin- ciples which Bulganin says the Soviet Union has and will carry out: 1. Peace and acknowledgement of the sovereign rights of peoples. 2. A policy of non-aggression. 3. Equality and mutual benefit. 4. Non-interference in the internal affairs of other states. 5. A policy of peaceful co-existence of states with different social and poli- tical systems. To all of this the only proper com- ment seems to be "words just words." These five principles never have been incorporated in Communist policy. Russia has never acknowledged the sovereign rights of its satellite coun- tries. They are its unwilling slaves. Other Editors Views MONOPOLIES LIKE BABIES (Peterborough Examiner) The kernel of the reason why there are more monopolies in Canada than in any other large western country may be found in Lord Man- croft's recent comment.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JULY 12,328 . ox All of the aggressions which have been undertaken since the end of the second world war have been engineer- ed and carried out by Communist part- ners of Russia, and by Russia itself. Interference on the internal affairs of other countries, through propagan- da, fifth columnists and Russian es- pionage rings have been in the fore- front of Soviet policy. Only recently Bulganin himself interfered flagrantly in the affairs of other nations by de- claring Kashmir belonged to India. Russia is not genuinely interested in peaceful co-existence with other peo- ples. The sole aim of Communism is world domination at the expense of other nations. So the words of Bulganin are belied by the actions of his country during the whole of the period since the end of the second world war. Editorial Notes The meanest man award has been usually given to the fellow who would steal pennies from the blind. It may now have to go to the man who stole a wallet from another lying injured on a roadway. Advertising on commercial TV in Britain is reported to be quiet and dig- nified.

LEN G, SELLE ~ THERE'S STILL A POINT ON IT ow Vi i A 4 (o) RS SN GERMANY a no -te -- QUEEN'S PARK Milk Decision Not Serious By DON O'HEARN spelled-out on holding them back Special Correspondent The Times - Gazette TORONTO: What could have been a very serious deci:ion on milk apparently isn't as bad as it looked 2t first glance. When the Appeal Court ruled the Ontario milk board could not re- fuse a new dairy a licence be- cause there were enough dairies already in an area, it looked as though the court might be going to cause a lot of consternation here. For years the milk board has based a lot of its decisions on 'public need", and there appeared the possibility its whole structure might be under-mined. Along with this there was the even broader question of whether the legislatvre could delegate jud- icial authority to a board--some- thing that has been widely ques- tioned with the labor board since the Gale decision of a few years ago. NO AUTHORITY However, after looking over the Appe:l Court decision legal offi- cials breathed easier. They wouldn't have to draw up a whole new set of laws. The basis of the decision was that the board couldn't exercise the authority it had becauze no such particular powers had been vested in it by the legislature. It had been given powers to de- termine qualifications of applicants for licences, but nothing had been of over-supply. ALL CLEAR This cleared the air of the mat- ter of the powers of the legisla. ture. They hadn't been in ques- tion. And all that will have to be done to give the necessary authority will be for the Milk Control Board Act to be redrafted at the coming session. (Something the government may or may not decide to do. There will be some question in its mind whether it wanis i's board to try and control supply and demand. But in any case its fundamental powers to do so haven't been chal- lenged. LIQUOR CARD According to reports, liquor pur- chasers detinitely will be using a new type of permit next year. Unofficial word is that the liquor control board has made up its mind to {ransfer to the plastic, birth-certificate type of permit. It is possible the permit will be issued for a two-year period and sold for $2. At the time of writing, this is said not to have been de- cided. All permits will carry signatures. And control of the inierdicted list will be kept through, comparisons with this signature list. It also will be used as a special control on sale to minors. Any young - appearing customers will have to sign their names on de- mand. OTTAWA REPORT Ottawa Prepares New Programs By PAT NICHOLSON Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette OTTAWA: Our capital is prepar- ing for the opening of a new ses- sion of Parliament. Outwardly, that means that the walls of the Parliament Building are being repainted, the stonework being steam-cleaned MPs' offices being scrubbed out, and the huge temporary army of sessional work- ers being recruited. Unseen, the legislative program is being prepared, and the financ- ial estimates are being combed through by the treasury board be- fore submission to Parliament. The government preparations again lag lamentably behind the domestic arrangements. This will be reflected in the usual lethar- gic program through the late wine ter, the usual long Senate adjourn- ments, and the usual "anything goes' rush to pass the estimates in late June. More significant than in most years is the behind-the-scenes plan- ning to fill the leadership and the higner ranks of the parliamentary Liberal party over the next two decades. his is a continuing pro- ce:s, but it has a special urgency now, owing to the combination of coming events. A general election is approaching, and so is the re- tirement of the last of the old guard of the Mackenzie King era. CABINET VACANCIES The cabinet today consists of 19 ministers. There are three appar- ent vacancies. The post of parlia- mentary assistant to a cabinet minister is regarded as a stepping stone to cabinet rank. Three of the 19 placcs on this doorstep of the goverament ace vacant, Two cabinet ministers each carry two portfolios today. Hon. Hughes Lapointe is minister of veterans affairs and postmaster - general trade and commerce and minister of defence production. The third possible vacancy in arises from the lack of an asso- ciate minister of defence, to ease the heavy burden on Mr. Camp- ney's shoulders. He himself played that role to his own predecessor as defence minister. . One of these vacaecies will be filled from Quebec. Ontario Lib- erzls hope that another will be filled from their province. There are now 59 French-Cana- dkan Liberal members of Parlia- ment from Quebec Province, in addition to those already in the cabinel. Belief here is that none of these will be selected by the prime minister for promotion into his cabinet. His choice will be a per- son never hitherto active in polit- ics: a serving army officer, Brig- adier Allard. As a former com- mander of the Canadian forces in Korea and a veteran of World War Two, he will provide the war rec- ord which the prime minister is looking for in a Quebec minister, but which is at present noiably short. This implicit adverse comment upon the political ability and civic responsibility of the present Que- bec MPs will raise bitter feelings in 59 slighted breacts. TORONTO THE NO-GOOD Likewise, the seven Liberal MP3s from Toronto ridings will, between them, nurse some resentful thought if one of them is not chosen to represent the Queen City in the cabinet. The bitter truth appears to be that the prime minister considers that the voters of Toronto have failed to send to Ottawa any Lib- eral MP of cabinet calibre in rec- ent years. So Hogtown already has the cabinet representation it de- serve:. As a sop two of the three vacancies as parliamentary assist ants to cabinet minister may be Hon. Clarence Howe is minister ofoffered to Toronto MPs; these will ON ORS EN ME BOM MAC'S MUSINGS It was most interesting To note the varying comments Of our fellow-citizens Regarding the weather of Last week when the Mercury Dropped well below zero As a sharp reminder That winter is with us.

Christmas Not So Bleak For Youth MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- Young Richard Stanley, who found unem- ployment and hunger unendurable on Christmzs Day, began a new life today because another man had a black Christmas just a year ago. Police and firemen talked the 19- year-old boy down from a 100-foot water tower with a promise to help him find a job. Patrolman Lloyd Wagner and assistant fire chief Walter Hole risked their lives to persuade Stan- ley to throw away a switch-blade knife with which he threatened to stab himself as he jumped. Stanley climbed down the tower ladder, his head slumped and ob- viously uncertain of his reception from the officers. Instead of giving him a verbal blistering for spoiling their Christ- mas Day, Wagner and Hole hugged the boy and told him they weren't just talking about the job. They spread the story and it brought re- the cabinet Sul sults, WILL TEACH RIM James L. Kelly, co-owner of elly Automotive Repair provided the job and promised to teach Stan- ey to be an auto mechanic. Kelly explained that Christmas, 1954, found him destitute--his house in ruins from a fire and his wife suf- fering from severe burns. A man named Gilbert Green had hard about Kelly's troubles and provided funds for him to start the auto parts shop. "Felly's business is really going to town," patrolman Wagner re. ported. "And so will Stanley, be- cause he loves to tinker with auto- mobiles." Some other Muncie citizens got un a quick collection of $40 so Stanley won't be penniless when he goes to work this morning. They also provided a turkey, a ham and other food for a Christmas dinner for the boy and his mother, thus he able to serve as chore- 0oys to the men promote Vi their heads. P 2 over Toronto has in fact sent two rep- resentatives to Ottawa in the Lib- eral colors who sand head and shoulders above their civie colleag- ues: the recently senatorshioped Dave Croll, and Colonel John Hunter, M.C. As the latter would him-elf say, in the army slogan: "Xo names, no pack drill'; but were this distinguished soldier, lawyer and Liberal politician to be appointed to the cabinet, he would certainly not be the least worthy minister. However, it appears likely that 59 Quebecers and seven Toronton- ians will be passed over for pro- motion to the cabinet. With more than one-third of his followers thus disappointed, the leader of the Lib- erals will face this coming session with anything but a happy band of angels behind him, A SAA A GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Ballet Is Not Yet Proved Popular As Entertainment By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION Only one-fourth of Canadian adults has ever seen "live ballet". Add to this group, however, those who have watched a perform- ance at the movies, or on TV, and the Jioportion rises to about two- thirds of the people. With the Canadian National Bal- let now on tour through Canada, the Gallup Poll set out to discover just how familiar men and women across the country are with this type of entertainment. Greatest knowledge of ballet is found in the province of Quebec where a high of 77 per cent oi the people have seen a ballet per- tormance. The low point _is in the Maritime provinces where only 50 per cent have done so. In this study a group of four questions was put to adults in a cross-section of the public. First: "Have you ever seen a perform- ance of a ballet?" Per Cent No . 30 Can't recall 4 Yes 100 Those men and women who said they have seen ballet were asked whether it was on the stage, on TV, or in a movie, The resnonse: Per Cont Movie Tv 41 2 Stage 94 This table adds to more than the 66 per cent who have seen ballet, watched it on the movies, and TV, because so many Canadians have ar well as on the stage. Interviewers then asked: "Would you say you enjoyed ne much, just mildly, or not at Per Cent Very much 27 Just mildly 27 Not at all 12 s 6 Finally, to see how familiar Ca- nadians are with professional bal. let companies in Canada, every person interviewed was asked if they could recall the name of one, The vast majority, 71 per cent could not think of one at all. The Recyal Winnipeg Ballet led with 15 per cent of the public referring to it. The Canadian National Ballet was next, with 5 per cent recalling ite name. The others mentioned a iscell group of s in- cluding many who referred to the Sadler's Wells Company, World Copyright Reserved MAC'S MEDITATIONS Rustralians your undercarriage in the cactus or get tangled up with Have Colorful Slang By M. McINTYRE HOOD We have been finding out recent- ly that a surprisingly large num- ber of young men have migrated from Australia to Canada in the last year or two, It has astonished us mote than once to hear the un- mistakeable Ausiralian accent in places we have visited in Toronto. On one occasion, when we spoke to a young man in a store, we re- cognized the accent at ounce and said to him, "You are from Aus- tralia, aren't you?" He was at once profuse in his thanks. "You are the first person who has not mistaken me for an Englishman," Our first acquaintance with the Australian accent dates back to 1917, when, after the Battle of Vimy Ridge, we landed in a hos- pital in Birmingham, England, Af- ter a month or two there. We were transferred to a convalescent hos- pital at Harborne, near that large city. The estate, known as Her. borne Hall, belonged to one of the Chamberlains. it nad been turned over to the government to be used as a convalescent hospital for *'col- onials" as troops from the Do- minions were known then. When we arrived there, we found all the other patients were Australians. We we.e the lone Canadian in the midst of about 150 '"'dinkum Ause sies". Since then, we have never failed to recognize the characteris- tic accent of the Ausiralians waich is something like a cross between that of a London cockney and the drawl of a Georgia cracker. AUSTRALIANS IN OSHAWA In recent months we have been hearing that accent a great deal, as we have two bright young Aus- tralian lads on the staff of the newsroom of The Times-Gazette. In listening to them, one of the chief difficulties has been to de- code the particular type of slang that emanates from the boys from down under. If the influx from Aus- tralia continues, Canadians will soon be acquiring some of it. And we can assure our readers that the Aussies have colorful slang that has not been spoiled by Ameri- canisms. For instance, when we hear an Australian speak of a "shandy', that is his term for a drink of beer and lemonade. When the Austrai- ians use the expression "fly a kite", they are not telling the in- dividual to take a walk or send up a political balloon. In their slang, it means to tell a lie. COLORFUL EXAMPLES To "carry the mail" over here may mean to promote or support some cause, but in Australia it means to stand the drinks. On this refreshing note a 'deep sinker" becomes a grant glass of beer, and a "dirty night at sea" is a wild Crinking party. Australians don't cry over spilled milk; they *'whip the cat" instead, If an Australian tells you to lift your undercarriage, he is telling you to go away and leave him alone. So if you carry the mail with a cobber and a' few deep sinkers Jesuit In a dirty pit at sea, fore you get a ratbag. Oh yes, a cobber is a friend, a ratbag is a disagreeable person, and in the cactus means in trouble Yes, this Australian slang we are beginning to learn from our south- by cross cousins is indeed color- CANADIAN ACCENT While on this subject of accents, we have just been reading a piece from a Sherbrook paper comment- ing on the fact that there is now a istinetive Canadian accent. It arose from the fact that an English newspaper, reporting the escape of three convicts from Dartmoor prison, noted that one of them spoke with a Canadian accent. When a Canadian accent has be- come so well defined that it can be used in the identification of erimin- als, it surely has arrived. Our own experience in that re- gard is also enlightening. During our last two trips to Britain, we were greeted as Canadians by per- fect strangers who said they re- cognized our Canadi accent. What a blow that was to our pride in the Scottish accent we thought we had been able to preserve dur- ng Su long residence in Canada. e had one experience even bet- ter than that. We were walking along Union street in Aberdeen when we were hailed by a qui well-dressed stranger, who sail, "Would you by any chance have any Canadian cigarettes with you?" We stared at him, and pe ed out: "How do you know I am fiom Canada?" "That was easy" was his reply. "l once lived in Toronto and I knew you were a Canadian the moment I saw you." So perhaps we are developing Canadian accenis and a 'distine- tive Canadian appearance, just as the Australians have developed their own colorful slang.
