G. Mungham, Red Cross water safety expert, presented a special brief at the request of the coroner at the in- quest. He said that up to the end of August, there had been 61 serious boat- ing accidents in Ontario, and 304 deaths by drowning, But statistics tell only part of the story. They do not, for instance, tell of the "near misses", the swimmers almost injured or killed by skiers and boats, the fishermen almost capsized by thrill - seeking maniacs, the collisions avoided more by luck than the good handling of young children permitted to handle high-powered motors, Mr, Mung. ham quite rightly said that motor boats the children were lethal weapons. Traffic busy waterways is nov almost as much of a problem as traffic on land, A coherent, concentrated piece of legislation is necessary for its control. in hands of on No Canadian History Saskatchewan has decided not to teach Canadian history to school child 12, In that mature ren until they reach Grade "more the grade there will be a of earlier sourse about Canada" In grades Saskatchewan will teach ancient, medieval and modern world history There change Saskatchewan's followed in other provinces this that may be good reasons for but it may be hoped not be Mon Agree will the and we example treal Gazette comments The early teaching of Canadian his- tory is important because too many leave school before reaching It children 12 nontheless, Grade is a sad fact, but a fact More than this, the minds of young children are able to feel the excitement of history, as they never feel it in later years, Nor is this by any means a false or childish impression.

Liberals QUEEN'S PARK themselves tend lo laugh it off wih the transparent excuse that the buckingest broncos were just being given their heads The Queen's conference saw some two hundred pundits as- sembled under the auspices of an "ad boc" committee. The national Liberal party went out of its way to disclaim all responsibility for the arrangmeents, including the choice of speakers and list of in- vited guests. The idea, however, traces at least some of its parent age to Hon. L. B, Pearson, and if he did not actually suckle it, he st least endorsed the wet-nurse, Had the guest lst included some of the proven party strate- gists, some of the disfiguring new blots might have been kept out of the Liberal copybook.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON - The town of South. end, on Britain's east coast not far from London has demon: , strated that a municipal airport can be made a profitable under. taking. In the report of its oper- ations for the last year, it indi. cates a net profit of £26,000, which went into. the municipal treasury, It was one of the few major airports in Britain to make money, In the past, when the airport was not a paying proposition, the residents and certain sections of the town council eriticized the spending of £450,000 of the rate payers' money to establish the airport, Now they are congratu lating the airport committee and its staff LOSSES FOR YEARS For the first 13 years the air- port lost money, Two years ago it broke even. Since then, it has had a substantial balance on the profit side. There had been con. tinual criticisms of the town council for undertaking the cre- ation of an international airport on a large scale. The making of profits has dispelled these, There are other benefits, Up to 4000 passengers a day now pass through the airport, and hotels and other businesses are reaping their harvest from this new flow of people into the town RECORDS BROKEN Simultaneously with announce- ment of the profit of £26,000 came an announcement that the airport is breaking all previous traffic records this year, In the first six months of 1960 it handled over 140,000 -assengers, which is more than the total for the whole year of 1957. During its busiest weekend, air craft were landing or taking off at an average of one every three minutes, This gives rise to hope for an even greater profit in 1960, If that should be so, it is likely that a reserve fund will be set up to provide for future develop ment, There are already strong indi caitons that expansion is needed If the present rate of progress continues, tarmac, customs and passenger and freight handling facilities will be inadequate with in two years. British Railways and the Southend corporation are discussing the possibilities of a special railway station for the Southend airport AMBITIOUS PLANS Plans had already been made for an extension of the airport, but already these are out of date, and revision on a much more am- bitious scale is suggested, Ber. nard Collins, commandant of the airport, said it seemed logical that Southend must become the major cross-channel airport Already there are six com. panies established there, operat. ing services across the channel and to varlous points in Europe. Others have already made in quiries about moving in. To ac commodate them, enlarged facil ities would be necessary. Enlarg- ing of the terminal building, and extension 'of the apron for planes Are being given immediate atten. tion, And the airport committee is toying with the idea of extending runways to take larger planes, It has taken nearly 15 years to make Southend Airport more than pay its way. Now it looks like becoming a real money- spinner. perience. and political astuteness amongst them As it was, the two hundred guests included a cross-section of Liberal-minded "eggheads, , from all the best campuses and broad- casting stndios and backrooms of Canada They generated ideas as liberally as a pyrotechnic display gives off sparkles; and when the smoke died away, there was abou' as much of real worth re- maining Professor Maurice Lamontagne, who graduated from defeat in the Fast Quebec constituency in the last general election to Mike Pearson's backroom, delivered a lecture which would have been worth its weight in gold to Fidel Castro, but was out { place in a Canadian Liberal gathering, Urg- ing that Canada must now "beyond the Keynesian rev tion," he admitted that John Dief- enbaker's vision of "the elop- ment of the Canadian North is in itself a very desirable objective." And he went on to advocate an advanced form of economic die- tatorship, with power in the hands of the central govrenment to a degree which would make Maur. ice Duplessis whirl in his tomb; and he ended by advocating a committee of supermen to fix prices. GOODBYE FREE ENTERPRISE Any Canadian businessmen not entirely disenchanted by that pro- posal must have finally unpinned any hopes from the Liberal party when they heard another speaker advocating a super welfare state to be financed by a 50 per cent tax on all advertising, Paul Martin, perhaps the most practical politician in Liberal ranks today, was luckily present 10 preserve some modicum of san- ity in that gathering; for politics is essentially the art of the prac. tical and these suggestions were in the realm of the politically dis- sastrous However, enough was said to show the reefs which lie ahead of Canada on the Liberal course, And in retrospect Ottawa now sees how doubly smart the Lib eral strategists were in the im- mediate post-war years when they tossed a red herring to the egg- heads of Canada.
