The result of the vote means that employees of the plant will receive a substantial increase in wages, which will be most welcome at this time of increased living costs. They in turn will be in a happy frame of mind with some at least of their financial worries removed. It all adds up to in- creased production at a time when people from the Atlantic to the Pacific are crying for automobiles. ® From Readers COMMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE Correction re Sunday Broadcast Editor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir:--Possibly many of you heard the Quiz program over CKDO on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock when representatives of the differ- ent agencies participating in the Community Drive had an opportu- nity of speaking on their work, The work of the Children's Aid Society was outlined and an inter- jection was brought in later in re- gard to the financing which we are afraid left the wrong impression with our Community friends and which we would like to correct at this time It is true that the Chidren's Aid Society is financed by the munici- palities where the child has resi- dence. Payment, however, is re- ceived only for those children who are made either temorary or per- manent wards through the Court. This Department of our work is only one section. The Protection work, where we endeavor to prevent the famiy breakdown, the Adoption work and the work of unmarried parents receives no support, We have at the present time 87 non- wards in adoption homes for whom no maintenance is secured because they are placed on a free home basis. 4 However, the supervision of these Lhildren continues for a two year probationary period and the fi- nal court order is secured. It is for these last three Departments of our work mentioned -- the Protectfon Field; Adoption work; and the un- married mother and her child--that we qualify as one of the great Chest Agencies and ask the support of the Public in the Oshawa Community Chest Drive. (Miss) Margaret M. Hancock, Supt., C.AS., County of Ontario. October 21, 1946 * 20 Years Ago But far and above the material aspect of the vote is the fact that agreement was reached withcut recourse to | strike action. Many communities across the Dominion have felt the impact of strikes with resultant loss of purchasing power and crippling of business activity. For that reason both the Union and management are to be congratulated on the amicable and forthright manner in which negotiations were carried out. It is indeed a pity that the pattern set here could not have been followed in other plants across the nation. There is no reason now to doubt that Oshawa is em- barked upon an era of industrial harmony and production | which will carry her to new heights even beyond the fondest dreams. A Personal Transaction Salesmen of Canada Savings Bonds have found several prospective purchasers who were confused about redemption features of the bond. They had failed to appreciate that after delivery of the new security to the registered holder, it is strictly a contractual arrangement between the pur- chaser and the Dominion of Canada--and stays that way. Since the new bond was created primarily for citizens who desired to continue a savings habit by means of bond purchases, safeguards had to be set up so that this, purpose would be realized. That is why the bonds are registered in the purchaser's name, and cannot be transferred. Other- wise, Canada Savings Bonds could be gathered up by wealthy individuals and large corporations, many of whom would be | only too glad to invest heavily in an issue, guaranteed at par and paying two and three-quarter per cent interest. - When the possessor of a Canada Savings Bond cashes his bond at the bank, the money he receives comes from the Government, and the bond itself is sent by the bank to the Bank of Canada where it automatically goes out of existence. Which Is Deadly? The Ontario Court of Appeal recently ruled that a per- son who uses an "imitation" of a weapon to commit a crime cannot be convicted of armed robbery. This is a decision which will arouse the ire not only of those who may be held up but also the police whose duty it is to investigate such cases and bring those responsible to the courts of law. It has been said "the law is an ass." In this instance it appears to be true. Put yourself in the position of a store operator. When a strange man walks in brandishing a gun and demanding your money, would you be able to spot whether the weapon : is real or a dummy. We venture to say that the stress of the moment would be such that not one in a hundred could do so. While we would not presume to argue points of law with such an august body as the Ontario Court of Appeal, we do believe that the decision has been a blow to law enforce- ment. The decision is one which should be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. In the event that it is upheld steps should be taken to amend the Criminal Code.

The Goose That Lays Golden Eggs ang --Carmack in the Christlan Science Monitor Goering Didn't Win Place In German Mythology Editorial in the Buffalo Courier- Express Maybe Hermann Goering thought he was making a martyr of himself by taking poison instead of walking to the gallows like a man and say- ing farewell to the world with dig- nity. If hope of martyrdom was Goering's motive, he failed miser- ably. Possibly a few surviving Na- zis and some Japanese, still faithful to the harakiri tradition, see some- thing admirable in his suicide. The rest of the world looks on Hermann Goering as a criminal who cheated the gallows because of cowardice. And that is the way: history will write him down. So it is just as well that Goering took poison. Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief American prosecutor at Nuernberg, summed it up when he said: : "If Goering had been made of the stuff that could walk to the gal- lows voicing some patriotic senti- ment such as our Nathan Hale's regret that he had but one life to give to his country, he might well have becorhe a German martyr- hero. , .. Goering, the top surviving Nazi leader, was the only defendant on whim a martyr myth might have been founded. The gallows offered him the most effective platform from which to impress his sympa- thizers with the depth of his con- viction and his sesMessness for the cause. Frankly I feared he would do it. "But he lacked the character. Even the smaller men who were his satellites died more courageously. When he took his own life he killed the myth of Nazi bravery and stoi- cism and deep conviction." Justice Jackson's comment ought to help clarify American thinking on the subject Goering's suicide, If the hulking reichs-marshal had marched to his death in soldierly | manner as did Field Marshal Keitel | and Col. Gen. Jodl he well might have won a place in German myth- ology as a martyr-hero, Mention of | Keitel and Jodl reminds us of an- | other point on which American thinking may need some clarifica- tion too. There is a disposition in some quarters to question their punishment as war criminals on the ground that they were "soldiers who simply obeyed orders." That was not the case. German soldiers who "simply obeyed orders" such as Von Rundstedt did not sta=d in the dock at Nuernberg. Other high German officers accused of violating the laws of war--such as. Kesselring-- are to stand trial at the scenes of their alleged crimes, as did the Jap- anese generals, Homma and Ya- mashita, Keitel and Jod! were tried at Nuernberg because, like their ci- vilian fellow-defendants they were Nazi policy-makers--men who plot- ted war and participated in politi- cal as well as military decisions, The same was true of Admirals Raeder and Doenitz who got off with prison sentences. Goering eliminated himself as a hero-martyr. Keitel and Jodl were braver men than he but they were not heroes or martyrs either. Jus- tice Jackson believes the "myth of Nazi bravery, stoicism and deep conviction". has been killed. We hope that the myth is really dead-- and that no one will try to revive it. e For A Laugh Just Curious The reporter began to ask his questions. "And would you like to tell me what made you a multi-millio- naire?" he asked. * The terribly rich man looked pensive. "I think you can say my wife did," he replied at length, "I see, her loyal help------' "No, no, I was curious to know if there was any incceme she couldn't live beyond." 3 3556 35 3% 35 5 36 3506156 3 353 353618 And it is important to HOUSEHOLD FINANCE Has a Reputation for Prompt, Dependable Loan Service When you need money, you naturally want it quickly.

POLITICS Native Members Among Most Eloquent Orators In Parliament By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Wellington, N.Z.--(CP)--One of the brightest features of New Zeal- and general elections is always the campaign for the four Maori seats | in the House of Representatives. | The Maori election this year will | be held on November 26, fhe day | before the polling for the 76 Euro- pean seats in the House, Although the four Maori seats are in all respects equal to the others and the Maori M.P.s . have full rights with European members, the Maoris have their own ways of con- ducting election campaigns, Maoris are natural orators and there are always many anxious to stand for Parliament, Those who fail to gain nomination for one of the main political parties often stand as independents and it is not unusual to find eight or nine can- didates for a single seat. Nomina- tions for the coming election have not yet closed, but numerous can- didates have already announced that they wil] stand. Sometimes two or more candi- dates arrange a joint election meet- ing. They stand at different sides or ends of the hall or meeting house and address the audience in turn. The one who wins greatest applause takes over the meeting while his rivals withdraw. Then the audience and the favored candidate discuss the poliical situation at length, often until two or three in the morning, Many candidates are chieftains or men of high descent and inh the past the opinions of tribal elders have had the greatest bearing on results. In recent years, however, the European political divisions have been more. decisive and all four seats are at present held by official Labor ncminees. However, the National party says, it hopes to capture at least two of the Maori seats. In one Sir Apirane Ngata, a former Cabinet Minister, who was narrowly beaten at the last elecvion after 38 years contin- uously in Parliament, is again stan- ding for the party, The four Maori electorates cover the whole of New Zealand, three in the North Island and one in the ted in Parliament for 80 years, since the early days of parliamentary government in the Dominion. Per- sons of more than half Maori des- cent must vote in the Maori elec- torates, but half-castes may vote | as Maoris or Europeans as they pre- er. Until 10 years ago voting was by declaration, but with the increase of literacy Maoris now have a se- cret ballot in the same way as Eu- ropeans, However, no rolls of Ma- ori electors are prepared. Natives give their name, age, tribe and sub- tribe at the polling booth and hav- ing identified themselves to the sa- tisfaction of the returning officer, are given voting papers. Tribal pride and the general outlook of the race ensure that there are few ab- uses of the system. Maoris M.P.'s almost always speak in the House in English and, in- deed, are often by far the best spea~ kers in Parliament. They are per- mitted, however, to speak in Maori and have their speeches interpreted. Several Maori M.P.s have become Cabinet Ministers and have admin- istered European portfolios as well as that of Native Affairs with con- spicious success. NOW WHO'S CRAZY STUDENTS WONDER Dunedin, N.Z.--(CP)--Two Ota- go University students sitting in their automobile were approached by a stranger who admired the car and asked if they wanted to sell it. They named a price which the stranger promptly accepted. 4 One student went into a garag\ to give the purchaser an official re- ceipt and the car was handed over to the stranger, who drove off, Then the students found that nei- ther had received the money, as each thought the purchaser had given it to the other, They hired a taxi and gave a frenzied chase, but could not find the car. They reported their loss to the police who informed them that the purchaser was an escaped inmate of the Orokonui Mental Home.
