Newspapers of Canada, without exception, front page prominence to the holiday accident picture, because proportions of the loss were so great as to leave people with a sense of deep shock and profound regret. In Canada there were thirty deaths by drowning. The water toll in the past year from this single cause alone has meant that Canada's homes were bereft of 1,045 persons. "Many a time during the past year, newspapers have held before the driving public the necessity for sane driving, and these campaigns have undoubtedly helped to, hold down losses from this means," says the Ontario Intelligencer, Belleville. Last week-end, however, drownings led all the other violent causes of loss. of life, although much has been suggested in the press about the prevention of accidents in the water. Canada can ill afford to lose the lives of such titizens, many of these young and virile with most of their lives before them. Human lives mean much to the state for they are a precious gift which holds the whole future of the nation in its hands. In the case of drownings, and other holiday fatalities, the loss is deeply poignant because they occur at a time when all should be happiness and. pleasure, Knowledge Is Safety With the passage of the years and the rapidly changing trend of living, one often wonders if the younger generation i we ==T&lly appreciates the privileges which are theirs to enjoy. A case in point is the operation of the Board of Education Playgrounds at Rotary Park and Ritson School. Here youngsters learn to play under excellent tuition and while at play gain health through exercise, fresh air and sunshine. The parents of today for the most part organized their own games and sports and gained as much enjoyment from them as do their own children. However, there is a dif- ference. In Oshawa's two playgrounds are swimming pools for which the Community Recreation Association has provided fully trained, capable" and efficient instructors. Through their efforts children are being taught how to swim properly. A generation ago such instruction was available only to the privileged few. Those were the days of the old swim- ming hole in pond or creek where the boys went wading and later graduated to the dog-paddle style of swimming. They had fun to be sure and were able to swim but in most in- stances only after a fashion. Today those who are instructed in swimming learn the fundamentals and by so doing gain self confidence which eliminates the panic which grips the inexperienced when an emergency arises. 'We would suggest that every child should be taught not to fear the water and to swim capably. The knowledge of what to do at a moment's notice may save a life. The children of Oshawa are being given an unparalleled oppor- tunity. They should not pass it by. "Conference of the Future" NEW ZEALAND PAPERS COPY ENGLISH STYLE Run Classified ~Advertise- ment on Front Page By William Stewart Canadian Press Staff Writer Wellington, N.Z., July 10--(CP)-- New Zealand newspapers, in keep- ing with. the manner of the people of the Dominion are generally mo- derate and still observe the old English style of running classified advertisements on front pages with news stories inside. A newcomer to the metropolitan daily field, the Southern Cross, an evening Labor paper in Wellington, appears with front-page news, as Also does the Star-Sun, an evening paper in Christchurch, most im- portant city on the South Island. Many New Zealanders regard Auckland's New Zealand Herald as the newspaper in the Dominion. With a daily circulation of about 115,000, it claims the largest sales. As a morning paper the Herald shares the Auckland reader field with the evening Auckland Star which has a circulation of about 100,000 copies daily. The dailies in Wellington, the capital, such as The Dominion, 'a morning paper, have circulations of about 70,000, but with the excep- tion of The Southern Cross, follow the same English style of news presentation. Apart from reports sent in from various localities within the Dom- inion by special correspondents, the papers get most of their domestic news through the co-operative New Zealand Press Association, Foreign news dispatches which appear in print bearing the time of receipt as well as date, are distri- buted by the Press Association from Australia through an agreement with Australian Associated Press which supplies Australian pa with their foreign coverage. of the New Zealand papers their own corespondents in Generally speaking, the New Zea- land papers carry few comic sttips, but have good political cartoonists. The most famous New Zealand po- litical cartoonist now abroad is Low of the London Evening Standard who after his start here, made his way to London via Australia. The back pages of the New Zea- land dailies are filled with adver- tising for moving pictures, public meetings and other popular events. These back-page advertisements, usually of single-column width, em= ploy the device of repetition as a means of catching the eye. In one of these ads, there will be five lines made up only of the re- peated name of a theatre, five or six lines simply repeating the name of a movie star, and a half-dozen repetitions of picture title, and then several more lines naming' a band leader over and over. ® 20 Years Ago Capt.

KEEPING US FOOLED (Kitchener Record) The way politicians keep most of us fooled most of the time is by slipping up on the blind side of us and taking our money through in- direct taxation and then giving a part of it back with a flourish and a fanfare of trumpets. SAME HERE! (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Some weeks ago the police issued a warning that wedding parties making noises would be summonsed. Well, the last two or three Satur- day afternoons cars have gone tearing up and down Talbot street with the sirens pressed down hard, making more noise than on VE- Day. Perhaps the police are hard of hearing. SCARCE THERE, TOO (8t. Thomas Times-Journal) Canadian hospitals are not the only such institutions "here short- ages are serious. We read in the London Sunday Express that owing to staff shortage the matron of Leighton Buzzard Isolation Mospi- tal also cooks for patients and nurses." And the Grove Hospital in North Bucks, which has been with- an application from a Polish wo- out a cook for 14 months, has had man in Uganda. The job is hers if she can get to England. SOUND ASLEEP (Brantford Expositor) This recalls to mind that the government appointed a Royal Commission on Coal two years ago. It is pertinent to inquire what the mission has accomplished, what t is doing and when it may be ex- pected to render a report. The commission was charged with the duty of finding out if more Cana~- dian coal could be used under a national coal policy. Surely if such a policy is at all feasible, it should be put into effect at once. MADE LUXURY GOODS ' (Ottawa Journal) Canada has not experienced any= thing like the orgy of post-war buying that has swept the States, but there was still sufficient of it here to cause many manufacturers to concentrate on Higher. priced and luxury Production rather. than, the more utilitarian type of goods so badly needed. It is altogether like- ly that the high point in this type of selling has been reached and that there will be less emphasis on luxury goods.
