The Osha Simes t, - Provincial Supervision Saps Voters' over the light voles in recent municipal elections, One lario's minister of musicipal affairs, the W. K. Warrender, suggests that imme of the trouble lies with two-year jarms and lack of mayoralty contests, This may indeed be a contributing face lar, but we doubt if it is more than a wperficial reason for waning Interest Int municipal politics, By the same rea igning, there should be an even greater flecline of interest in provincial and faderul elections, but such is simply net There are more fundsmental reasons fdr the apparent apathy of municipal voters, One Is the power wielded by Mv, Warrender's own department of municipal affairs, The department and attached hoards wnd commissions have final authority over a considerable ihount of the business handled by mus= nfcipal officers, We do nd propose to whether such extensive in= municipal government Is A Walk An lk, early in the yenr You'll probably enjoy it, once you have over the reluctance most of us feel al the thought of using our legs as they tended to be But this Isn't suggestion glve you healthy ¢ It Is special sort of walk, for a special purpose, suggested by the Ontario Safety League, Start at ne prominent landmark and walk at pace for half an hour, so about 8 mile and a half, look back to the point, a imagine a row | end to end over the route you tra= led ordinary wooden boxes, coffins will then have a clear mental pleture of the umount of wood required 1 the people killed by Ontario cy one and a half miles Expressing concern Hon, the case, HT argue here fluence over Take a wa new Ome wi used primarily a to Xereise good steady at you cover starting boxes of wooden not \ You bury vers each year; Interest good or bad, but there Is no doubt that the removal of authority from municie pal government to provincial governs ment results inevitably ing shift of voter Interest, Municipal authorities themselves have contributed to the shift of inter= est by running to provincial and feders= al governments with their problems, More often ther not they are justified fn running == the other governments, particularly - the federal, have left too little to the municipalities in the way of tax revenues, But every time the municipal representatives go to Quuen's Park or Ottawa asking for handouts, tha voter unconsciously upgrades one government and downgrades the other, Returning to the influence of Mr, Warrender's department, It must be re= mwembered too that many local under= takings may now be approved by the province without reference to the rate payers, The ratepayers' financial inter= may be served by this, but their voting interest suffers, A Drive the of coffins, ordered, in main, by drivers in a hurry, Then turn around and look ahead, to the in a year by Ontario traffic, Imagine a hospital bed for each non-fatal casual iy, them end tn end along the shoulder of the highway, You couldn't pace out this imaginary line that marks the total of traffic mutilations, Get in your car and drive for 50 miles on the highway, and you will then reach the end of the line of beds; Statistics convey @ ture of the total sufferng and economie loss involved In the province's annual toll of traffic accidents, The mental image of B51 and a half miles of coffins and hos= pital beds may help to get more clarity into that pleture number of people Injured and set year's nlone poor ples picture True To His Trust Probably the name Chester Walters means little or nothing to the average oltizen of Ontario, It was not a name that decorated the front pages of newss pipers or was gpoken with easy famili- arity by broadcasters, But the man who carried the name died last week, and the people of Ontario would do well to pray that we see his like again, For 28 vears he was Consultant to the Meeasury for Ontario, In that time he established himself as a great public servant, possibly the greatest that this provinee or any other ever had, He was, to begin with, incorruptible, Mis Integrity could not be questioned by his worst enemy, But this is not an extraordinary quality among publie ants, despite what some people sem to think: it is, indeed, a necessary quality, What made Chester Walters pre-eminent was his astonishing ability to produce opinions to cut through the mazes of economics und recommenda- tions that were proved to be uncannily accurate, He was not a university-trained eco= nomist, and he was not a theorist, He was a chartered accountant with an in= timate knowledge of business and the handling of money, With this back- ground, and his own razor-sharp mind to sift ideas and observation, he estabe lished a fer Wie dom that drew government leaders, in- dustrialists and economists to seek his opinions, His work for the province of Ontario meant the saving of many milliona of dollars, and the making of other mils llons for the public benefit He earned the finest epitaph that can be written for any public servant: He was true to his trust, reputation economie Fabulous Milk Trees The world image of our country as a lund of plenty har taken many forms, Iimes was when eager immigrants ex= pected to see streets paved with gold, Today a more poignant version is reports ed In tiny villages of Pakistan, where CARE brings milk for underfed school children, many ° pupils and their teachers too at first believed the nile powder came from trees In this great continent across the seas This vision of our land where even milk grows on trees, waiting to flow Bible Thought The ways of mer are before the eves of the Lord and he pondereth all his goings. ~-Proverbs 5:21, We can do nothing in secret, Do nothing that you would not want to have read publicly hefore all humans os a -------- lye Oshawa Times 1.

Vickers Viscounts will fly providing fast alr cons . the routes calling for short hops, With "the acquisition of the $6,000,000 DCH and the $2,500,000 Vanguards, added to the present Viscounts, the Trans Canada Ale Lines fleet will be all four-ens gincd and all turbine-powered by 1961, It will be the first Interna« tional airline In the world to achleve this status In the changes over from old-fashioned pistons eng' 'ed planes LOWERS FARES TCA has lowered its fares in the past 10 years, while bus fares have doubled and rail fares have Jumped 42 per cent, The huge aerial transporters of the jet age, flashing along the costfree alr ways five miles overhead, may permit fares even cheaper than today, They will certainly bring us wider use of air freight, and hence better living and better markets in the realm of our pers Ishable products Timetables and fare charts res veal the "why" of the swelling switch to alr travel Today a crack transcontinental express train speeds from this federal capital to our west coast metropolis of Vancouver in 68 hours, But airliners make the same Journey in only 12 hours, And the cost of that trip by firsts class alr travel, including (ree meals on the flight, Is no more than the cost of the threes days and three-nights journey in a "roocette", with meals and tips, Two years from now, a jetliner, carrying 138 passengers at the stagrering speed of 550 miles an hour, could make that trip 18 times 'hile the express train completes a single journey, This Is a greater advance in travel than the ron horse itself achieved over the covered wagon VAST IMPROVEMENT This Immense improvement in the performances. of the airliner, coupled with the new low charge Ontarlo 8% #1 12 The West Ba% 28 16 100% 100% Is a member, The contrast Is Ine teresting and shows a colse divise fon of opinlon among those with union affillations Non-Unlon Households 3% 27 18 Labor Union Households 100% to kb ervitical of growing power Among unions World Copyright Reserved for basle alr transportation withe out the trimmings, dovetalls pers fectly into our national aviation policy, Together, they will make Canada the country which can benefit the most from the jet age, Not only will the cheap and fast travel slash the immense distances of our 10 provinces; it will make possible the unlocking of the mreat Arctle vault, in whic'i we hold treasures probably unmatched in the world, READERS' VIEWS Asserts Only Custom Backs National Anthem Dear $ir; The editorial on the national an- thera suggests that a decision by the Hon, Ellen ¥airclough, Minis ter of Citizenship and Immigra- tion, gives official sanction to "God Save The Queen" as Cane ada's national anthem, This Is not correct, A minister's ruling is not law, It does not become law until 8 bill has been presented, read and properly approved by Parlia- met, I have made extensive Inquiries and no where can 1 find any measure approved by Parliament that specifically states whet shall be sung as the Canadian national anthem, That brings us, as stated in the editorial, to the matter of custom, It is custom that makes # national anthem, Custom Is simply repeated sing. fog, If It Is *O Canada' that is repeatedly sung, that will he the national anthem, Whether that singing Is good or bad Is beside the point, The point is that if we want a certain song as the na- tional anthem, It must be sung on in their stocking Executive $3.96 A man will get real comfort when you give him these Kaufman Foamtreads, Made every possible occasion to solidify its claim, Oshaws JAMES FRYLE BACKS "MAPLE LEAVY" Dear Sir: A few thoughts concerning the singing of the national anthem, In the first place, our anthem is "God Save The Queen", 1t Is not "0 Canada', which is not as good a song as "The Maple Leaf Vorever", and has only been slip. ped over on the rest of the coun. try by nationalistic politicians from Quebec, You are right when you say the singing of "0 Canada" Is dreary, It is 8 funerdl dirge of 8 song, If we must sing anything else than "The Queen" let us make it "The Maple Leaf", BRITISHER Bowmanville CHILDREN'S ARENA Dear Sir; In a letter signed "A Mother N, Oshawa" In The Oshawa Times, 1 was absolutely surnrised pie in and around Oshawa whe do not know that we have an arena for childeen, "A Mother" says, "Why should the children of this good city of ours and sur. rounding district have to go Ww Whithy or to Bowmanville to thelr arenas?" And again, "Volks say thet children should be home by 10 or 10.30, How can they, i Ry have to go lo other centres to skate?" I would like to say to this "Mother" that we have here in Oshawa the cleanest, most sani- tary, and best supervised arena for children to be found any- where in the country, and if she or anyone else would Wke to see this arena, our manager would be most happy to show them through, Oshawa Nobert E, Wilson, Chairman, Oshawa Children's Arena Commission, rr------ Another deplorable example of rank diseriminetion; A certain eigaret company equips clga- rets with filers for a thinking man, but doesn't provide any for & thinking woman, ' "The adult who reads comie books Ig impairing his mind," says an educator, What mind?
