Bowmanville's Volunteer De- f partment was unable to act due to ' a restrictive fire bylaw which prohibits its equipment from going on a provincial highway to fight fire. Oshawa's fire department gays it will cover the highway only n the section within city boun- es. ». The reason for the restrictions is oney. And the reason the restric- tions are allowed to exist is that fire protection legislation in On- tario is permissive. That is, the quality and quantity of fire protec- tion provided by a municipality is entirely up to that municipality, ac- ing to Ontario Fire Marshal . S. Hurst. The provincial government, bow- ing to the great god called Local Autonomy, abrogates all respon- sibility for something so basic as fire protection leaving that responsibility dependent on the relative parsimony of municipal councils. Possibly the belief that such protection is so basic has re- sulted in permissive legislation, But with road traffic increasing every year, the danger of vehicular fires also increases. ) Highway Fire Threat Fear of not being paid for send- ing. fire equipment outside a de- fined area is the real reason coun- cils put restrictions on where their firefighting equipment will and will not go. One fire chief has admitted that his equipment has fought tractor-trailer fires on the highway "because we are sure of being paid for them." In other words, it is all right to exhibit humanitarian ten- dencies and rush to a highway fire -- as long as you are sure it will not cost the town any money. The Fire Marshall says highway fire protection is examined every few years but that cases are rare. That is a quite a criterion: as long as only the odd person loses a car -- or belongings or a life -- through vehicle fires on our highways, there really isn't much reason to get alarmed. Is the attitude one of "Let's wait tintil the life and prop- erty loss hits a certain mean average per year and then we might be moved to make changes?" It is the nature of most govern- ments not to act until they are stung by an aroused public. But at elec- tion time many politicians spout sanctimonious phrasés such as "we did this" and "we are going to do that" and they prate about "lead- ing the people." Here is a chance for the Ontario government to lead with some intelligent legislation in- volving human life and property. The New Inquisitors? With the self-proclaimed conser- vative, Barry Goldwater, seeking the presidency of the United States, a great deal of discussion these daya is being devoted to analysis * of the meaning and aims, the na- ture and purposes of conservatism in both the United States and Can- ada. At the same time, there is a similar if less publicized continuing examination of the meaning and aims of liberalism. It should be noted that the discussions and argu- ments concern "small c" conserva- + tism and "small |" liberalism, and are distinct from the arguments of "big C" and "big L" Conservatives and Liberals. A worthwhile contribution to the liberal examination has been made by the Rev. Desmond Bowen, an Anglican clergyman and assistant professor of history at Carleton University, writing in the United Church Observer. It is the opinion of the Rev. Bowen, who describes himeslf as "a liberal from way back," that "professional liberals" have become inquisitors. and a threat to our society. The Encyclopedia Britannica de- fines liberalism as a belief that the source of progress lies in the free exercise of individual energy; it involves a readiness to use the power of the state for the purposes » of-ereating conditions within which individual energy can thrive, of preventing all abuses of power, and of establishing a real equality of opportunity for all, Says Mr. Bowen: "I first began to question the liberal inquisition when resistance to our Jocal John Birchite com- munity paper came to a climax with _ the charge that it was anti-semitic, Liberal social pressure finally She Oshawa Times T.

I confess that I was pleased with this at first, because the paper annoyed me with its claim that its fatuous articles represented a Christian viewpoint. "But as the weeks passed, and I was deprived of my weekly chuckle over the reasoning of the John Birchers about the Communist threat to Canada, I began to have second thoughts about the liberal victory. I never hear the liberals threaten to pressure out of exist- ence the Canadian Tribune, the Canadian Communist paper. Yet it says just as harsh things about people in our -society as do the John Birchers. The thought began to plague me that perhaps liberals do not oppose the ideas of all minority. groups -- perhaps the professional liberals have an un- spoken but well-defined code of public morality, which reveals which ideas aré to be opposed, and which are to be tolerated... "The professional liberals repre- sent a new establishment in our s0- ciety. They are public moralists who decide what is intellectually and ethically acceptable. And they are quite willing to force their value judgments upon every minor- ity group... Like most old- fashioned liberals I believe in the conflict of ideas, and the maturity that can.come to a man, or to soci- ety, through consideration of many possible ways of life. But the pro- fessional liberal really does not want any ideas to exist but his own." : Other Editors' Views DOG POISONERS Edmonton Journal There is no reason why any citi- zen of Edmonton should be obliged to put up with the nuisance of a noisy or destructive dog. The best way to deal with dog poisoners is to eliminate the nuisance that drives them to acts of. folly and cruelty.

This is certainly the case. But in adopting this procedure, Quebec is not creating any precedent. Most provinces today try to en- courage businesses esta b- lished within their bounda- ries, even if it means paying out more money... . When a province does not promote its own industries, it may stimulate the growth of other provincial economies but it hampers the develop- ment of its. own, So, is it good for an Ontario .ndus- trialist, or one from Mani- toba or British Columbia, that authorities in another province. should ask him to assume responsibility for the expenses needed to help that province progress? Is it good business for those provinces which pay taxes used purposes of education, health, highways and social welfare? The policy of preferential buying is therefore logical and sane, even if it means possible losses to. business firms from other provinces which up to now have been active in Quebec. Before pro- tecting their interests, we must safeguard our own, It has, been claimed that this system threatens na- tional unity and could bring about the gradual balkaniza- tion of Canada..One would have to be an idiot to believe that.

Soviet cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko defected from the Soviet embassy in Ottawa 19 years ago today--in 1945 -- taking with him docu- ments which revealed to the RCMP a network of espion- age agents in Canada. Gou- zenko's defection resulted in 20 espionage trials and nine convictions. Since his reve- lations, Gouzenko has been living in Canada' under an assumed name with RCMP protection. 2 . 1857 -- Charles Darwin first outlined his theory of natural selection and evolu- tion. 1939 -- Gen. Jan Smuts formed a new government for South Africa with the resignation of Prime Mintis- ter Hertzog. First World War Fifty years ago today, in 1914, French troops under Gen. Maunory developed a flanking attack against Gér- man forces and checked the German advance through France, HMS Pathfinder was blown up by a subma- rine. The Allies agreed not to treat for peace separ- ately among the Triple En- tente powers. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day, in 1939, Japan and the United States proclaimed .their neutrality. Germans continued their pressure on Poland while the Poles feared an attack against their eastern flank by Rus- ela. for" sums but business in general involves trade in any event with firms established throughout the country and it will be that way in the fu- TURE. Ss As for the Quebec govern- ment, it is fully justified in encouraging its industries through a policy of preferen- tal purchasing. Not only will this encourage new indus- tries, but it will allow them to employ greater numbers of men and to do better in the market. Thus they will be able to pay the increasingly heavy taxes imposed on them by a province that needs the tax revenues to insure its economic development. (Aug. 26) Quebec L'Evenement--Paul Gerin-Lajoie, Quebec educa- tion minister, has told dele- gates to the Commonwealth education conference about the changes currently making themselves felt in the schools of the province, The minister ably summed up the whole matter when he declared that Quebec, with its recent educational re- forms and more to come, is attempting not to miss out on the 20th century. Our edu- cational system must, in oher words, adapt itself to the demands of a modern in- dustrial society. This kind of thing we have rejected for too long as: we went about entertaining sweet myths about our "agricultu- ral and spiritual mission' in the land of America, throw- ing back at the Anglo-Saxons what we liked to think of as their excessively materialis- tic values. We know only too well what this attitude has cost us, even if 'too often we try to project. the responsibil- ity on to others. Adapting ourselves to the sort of industrial . civilization that exists in North America does not mean that we shall lose our collective '"'soul" in our French culture, On the contrary, it means that we are preparing to make that culture shine as brightly as possible in spreading it throughout day, Frigid isolation can lead only to the drying up of the very values we want to pre- serve. the world of to- | Thus, as Mr. Gerin - Lajoie indicated, if Quebec is part of the Anglo-Saxon world by virtue of geographic location, it also goes on participating, by virtue of its culture, in the French - speaking world. So there are two poles be- tween which French - Cana- dian culture swings in its process of self-development. This is the factor that gives it originality and makes for its future richness. Groups, like individuals, live through the ceaseless overcoming of great challenges. (Aug. 25) Montreal Le Devoir--Paul Martin gave exact definitions the other day of certain standards necessary for the mapping of. Canada's position regarding Latin America. The external affairs minis- ter took care to define two very different aspects of the problem. These are, first, the general relations of Canada ' with Latin America, and sec- ond, the question of this coun- try's joining the Organization of American States. For too long, Canadians have concentrated their at- tention on Western Europe and the Commonwealth. Even in this hemisphere, the United. States, by reason of its sheer importance, has tended to block our view of Latin America. But all that now is radically changed. These pithy statements, made in calm but vibrant words, didn't come from us or from some 'propagandist, but rather from Mr. Martin. We congratulate him for them enthusiastically. . . Canada's affiliation with the OAS would obviously be the most simple and concrete expression of the new policy envisaged by Mr. Martin. But the minister of external af- fairs was right not to confuse the end with the means. The end here involves a renewed joining - together of Canada and Latin America. Member- ship in the OAS is only one way among many of achiev- ing this end... . A large number of Cana- dians (unsympathetic to such membership) cite in particular the hidden domina- tion of the' organization by the United States and the doubtful effectiveness of the channels. of operation the OAS has at its disposal. We believe with Mr. Martin that Canada's presence in the OAS would be more useful for the solution of these dif- ficulties than does the slightly puritanical abstention with which we content ourselves at present, BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO September 5, 1924 The cement foundation for the new curling rink on Bond street east was completed. Architect Stenhouse expected to have operations started on the struc- ture as soon as steel arrived, Among new equipment added to the Oshawa Fire Department was an extension ladder, life- saving net, switchboard and new fire alarm system. Oshawa Flying Club entered over 300 birds in the third race for the Arcade trophy from Bala, a distance of 88 air miles. Oshawa"s Police Magistrate Major A. F. Hind was elected vice-president of the Police Magistrates' Association of On- tario. : P. A. Blackbum, cfty treas- urer, Was appointed to the exec-- utive of the Ontario Municipal Association at the annual con- vention in Toronto. The outlay for water mains in the city to date was over $20,000 while the allotment-for the year was fixed at $25,000, Four Oshawa rinks competed in the annual tournament of the Barrie Lawn Bowling Club.

They were imported and weighed almost 12 ons. In the city's eight public schools 2,800 pupils were enroll- ed. Supervising Principal A. E. Garbutt had a staff of 69 teach- ers and two hurses.

And it gives service to match. - The ridiculous is represented by Moscow's taxi system, which foreigners and Muscovites alike constantly complain about. More than the service itself, they complain about the cab drivers, Often cabbies are rude, contemptuous of their passen- gers and reckless, "You don't have to go out to Gorky Park (amusement cen- tre for a joyride," said a Western housewife. "All you have to do is climb into a taxi." Some drivers make time with @ vengeance. They fly along city thoroughfares at 60 or even 70 miles an hour, which is really travelling in the small- ish four-cylinder Volgas that. are the standard taxis here. The passenger emerges from one of isese horrifying experi- ences in a state of near-col- lapse. FACE LONG WAIT Many riders are in a state of high agitation even before en- tering the cab--because of the time they've had to wait.. It's possible to wait at a stand for half an hour or more before being picked up. According to the Moscow tourist guide, 'you may hail a taxi on any street by simply raising your hand." The rub here is that hailing a cab and getting one to stop are two entirely different things. Cab drivers have a habit of cruising down the inner lanes of Moscow's wide main thor- oughfares, oblivious to anyone trying to flag them from the curb. Some betray xenophobia by neglecting foreigners and giving preference to Russians. Cab operators are fierce an- tagonists in the constant war of nerves between automobile drivers and pedestrians in this Communist capital. A fair num- ber.make it a practice to bear down at high speed on people crossing the street, startling them and forcing them to jump for their lives at the last mo- ment. Moscow cabbies are supposed to wait at an interim destina- tion if you ask them to. But if you ask one to wait you may have an argument on your hands because his meter clicks off the kopecks at a slower rate during waiting periods, Most Western observers agree that the basic reason for YOUR HEALTH over-illing the plan. A saving feature is that taxi service is relatively inexpen- sive. For the equivalent. of about $1.08 you can travel five miles. At the opposite end of the customer - satisfaction scale is the subway. Service here is ex- cellent; trains arrive at main- line stations at intervals of 90 seconds. Every station has an electric map which flashes the most direct route to your des- tination at the press of a but- ton, ; In contrast to the dingy un- derground stations of many Western cities, subway stations here are spacious, shiny and spotless. The first line of the Metro was opened less than 30 years ago, in 1935. However the system's comparative newness gives only a partial explanation of its spic - and - span appear- g2f88i Fis¢ cost six cents a trip, ti busses about four, and tran little over three. YOUR INCOME TAX Determining Duty Value Of Estate. By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA From the viewpoint of the testator (the person making a will) two considerations are foremost in the discussion of death duties: (A) the death duty value or size of his estate; (b) the death taxes he would be required to pay. While apparently. simple neither aspect is without diffi- culty, This week our attention Ss directed to determining the death duty value or size of an estate. Many factors are in- volved. One or more of the fol- lowing items may present a problem: valuation of assets, situs of assets, life insurance, inter vivos gifts and disposi- tions, joint property, charitable gifts, et cetera. Valuation of assets could in- clude the following: real estate, securities, pensions, annuities, unsecured debts, and interest of the deceased in other estates, In addition, there may be assets located in a foreign country, for example, a bank account in Medications May Have Side Effects By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: In one of your recent columns you an- swered a woman who wanted to know why a druggist refuse to refill her prescription for hor- mone pills. Your reply was lu- cid and intelligent. Could you discuss refilling prescriptions in general? I am a pharmacist. We pharmacists love to fill prescriptions, We do it for a liv- ing! So when we refuse to do so. the ctistomer should realize that it is for his or her own good. Yet we frequently hear remarks about there being '"'a racket between doctor and pharmacist." A word from you might help. --R.L.A. I hope it will--and if people will just reread part of your let- ter: "We pharmacists love to fill prescriptions. We do it for a living!" That certainly ought to help. It's perfectly obvious why pre- scriptions containing narcotics or other dangerous ingredients should not be refilled. People may be confused, how- ever, when some other pre- scriptions are not refillable. The reasons are varied. Take the antibiotics. There may be no direct danger to the patient. Indirectly, there may be a danger to the public at large. Indiscriminate and con- tinued use, particularly in insuf- ficient amounts, can contribute to certain germs becoming re- sistant to such drugs. Thus if six or eight or a dozen capsules are prescribed, to be taken at specific intervals, the patient , Should do exactly that--not try to "'save a couple if I need them later." *Or take any number of spec- ial medications -- antispasmod- ics, to name one--which can he expected to bring a certain re- sult in a short time. A patient may nervously decide, "this seems to be working--I'll just keep on taking it so the trouble won't come back."' He can thus imagine that he ought to keep on, even though the purpose has been accomplished already. He must stop the medication to re- alize that he doesn't need it anymore, Nearly all powerful medica- tions, taken to excess, will or at least may have unwanted side effects. These cover a wide range -- rash, itching, distorted sense of taste, swelling, diges- tive upsets, respiratory ailments and a host of others. Such useful elements as iron can be poisonous in excessive quantities, About the common- est cause of poisoning in small children is from eating a hand- ful of aspirin tablets -- even though this drug, sensibly used, is safe enough so that no pre- scription is required. All this is just a sampling of reasons why many prescrip- tions should not be refilled. In cases in which fefilling is al- lowable, it is specifically so noted by the doctor on the pre- scription, GALLUP POLL .
