Net Paid Circulation 9,240 MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1946 Well Merited Award The award recently of the Socrates' High Award of the year to the Bank of Montreal for its advertising during the past twelve months is one that should not pass without comment as it was the first time a Canadian bank has gained the distinction. Not only were the advertisements, all of which appeared in The Times-Gazette, of outstanding interest calculated to inform and instruct Canadjans at a crucial period of recon- version, but at the same time_should go far to further im- press upon the public the place which banks play in the life of the nation and its people. The award was made by "Bank Ad-Views", monthly publication of financial advertising, published by Vincent Edwards and Company of New York, covering banks and trust companies throughout North America. Before making the award "Bank Ad-Views" studies financial advertising in the daily newspapers of every metropolitan centre, as well as several hundred smaller cities. In addition the staff of "Bank Ad-Views" is in frequent communication with leading bank and advertising men throughout the continent. In this manner they are able to keep fully abreast of all activ- ities in the field of advertising and to basectheir decisions on complete and thorough knowledge of the field. For Canadian Unity Over a period of years the Canadian Educational Asso- ciation has promoted the exchange of teachers between the various provinces of Canada and Newfoundland. This year 50 Canadian teachers are on exchange in other provinces and indications are that an evem-larger number will participate in the scheme next year. The plan 'is one with which we are heartily in accord. People today have more need than ever to know each other better, Peace can be built upon a sympathetic attitude to- wards others' needs. Understanding depends upon the ex- change of ideas through personal contacts. The best means | toward this end is through the youth of the country.. This can best be achieved by the exchange of teachers. We must learn to see through the eyes of others and add to that experience which will give us wisdom in our work. Our prejudices must not be allowed to interfere with our observation. Teachers must study the problems which educational systems face and build toward those educational needs. Ideas developed through experience and observation enrich the whole structure; while experiences shared con- tribute to understanding. Complete understanding carries respect, admiration and good will. Without knowledge there is not vision; with knowledge good will is attained, and good will is the foundation stone of "Peace on Earth". The Individualist Our advertising department and some national adver- tisers who are imbued with the idea that the plugging of trade names and slogans pays dividends may not agree but neverthless an incident occurred recently in a local store which goes to show that some men are still a bit skeptical of advertising and prefer to make their own selections. The customer walked in and asked the clerk what brands of toothpaste were carried in stock. After the clerk had recited a long list of well known brands, the customer asked which was the least advertised. On being told he said _-- he would take that one. Questioned as to why he had made his decision, his reply was that the product must be a good one to remain on the market without the benefit of' adver- tising. : The lesson is a good one. It is not always the person who makes the most noise about themselves who has the best qualifications, ability or personality. After all, perform- ance is what counts. | Courtesy Pays Have you noticed how many times recently when you drive into a service station you are addressed as "Sir" by the young attendant. Perhaps it never struck you as unusual but it started us to thinking. . In nine cases out of ten the attendant who so addressed you was a member of the armed forces who learned disci- pline and respect for his officers on the parade square. He is too recently out of the forces to have forgotten the hard- learned lessons. That is the reason he addressed you as "Sir", This form of "address is a respectful one carried down from the days when he replied to remarks or orders ad- dressed to him by his superiors.. It is a pleasant change from the days when harassed attendants barked at custom- ers who came to accept their take it or leave it attitude. Average Per Issue FOR OCTOBER / On Ottawa By The Canadian Press Ottawa, Dec. 2--(CP)--Re- commendations which the fed J government will make to the Do- minion - Provincial Agricultural Conference opening here remain a closely-guarded secret but there is a feeling that considerable stress will be placed on the possi. bilities of halting the progressive decline in Canada's dairy produc- tion. Milk output has been falling steadily all this year and this led to lower production of butter, cheese and most of the other dai- ry products which are made from milk, . The docting hg production already has had serious effects. It has kept the individual butter ration at the present low allot- ment of about six ounces weekly and has made it impossible for Canada to meet her commitment to supply Britain with 125,000,- 000 pounds of cheese in the year ending March 31, 1947. Th: like- lihood is that the Dominion will fall about 25,000,000 pounds short of meeting this contract. * bP Closely linked with the dairy production is the problem of ov- ercoming the current shortage of grains with which to feed cattle and other livestock and the con- ference is expected to recommend that acreages for feed grains be boosted next year, The recommendation for . the 1947 wheat acreage--at present at approximately 23,414,100 ac- res--likely will be unchanged in view -of forecasts of drought y2ars ahead and a need for in- creased summerfallow to stock up 110isture against a possible dry period. & Bb Employment: One development expected to materialize from the federal government's current move toward slashing the Civil Service roster is the consolidation of National Employment Service offices throughout the country. At present these offices can be set up in large centres with a po- pulation of 4,000. Probability is that a large number of these smaller offices will be closed up and their work taken over by branches in larger communities, with perhaps 10,000 being set as the minimum population, Another expected move in con- nection with the employment ser- vice is its divorce from unemploy- ment insurance. The expectation is the Unemployment Insurance Commission will be moved out from the juridiction of the Labor Department to function as a sep- arate agency with its own Regio- nal offices, * +» Fishing: Now that the Canad- fan fishery is setling down into the post-war basis, the fisheries department is going ahead with plans for reinforcing its field staff from coast to coast. In the next few months, 100 new inspec- tors are to be appointed. About 66 will be on the eastern sea- board and the remainder on the Pacific Coast, o15 Years Ago Decision to send Mayor Ernie Marks, Dr. T. E. Kaiser and Col. J. B. McCormick to wait on the Minister of Public Works in Ottawa regarding the extension of the ex- isting sea-wall was made at a meet- ing of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the Harbor Development Committee, merhbers of the city council and engineers of the city's public works department. City treasurer P. A, Blackburn announced at city council meeting that the city would have its first deficit in nine years in 1931 and that it would amount to approx- imately $10,700 due to the extra- ordinary expenditures on social ser- vices in the bad times. The first concert by the Massed Choirs of Oshawa, made up of var- fous singers of city-Churches, was heard in Simcoé Street United Church with Leonard Richer con- ducting, Mrs, Grant Berry, Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin and Ephraim Flem- ing organized the choir. Dr. H. A. Fricker of the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir congratulated the members on their fine performance. E. Wylie Grier, president of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art addressed the Rotary club luncheon on the past, present and future of Canadian art. W. A. Dryden, well-known Short- horn cattle breeder of Brooklin, won first prize in a class of 13 junior bull calves at the Royal Winter Fair with his calf, Roseband. He also took seventh and eighth ribbons with Royal Stripe and Eden Bloom in the senior bull class. City council meeting in their us- ual habitat decided to go ahead with the construction of the Bond Street bridge as a project that would provide employment during the bad times then present, ® For A Laugh Divided Happiness With a note of deep regret in his voice, the earnest social reform- er was tackling the village repro- bate. "The last time I met you," he sald, "you made me happy because you were sober, Today, I am un- happy because you are drunk." "Yes," replied the bad lad cheer- fully, "today's my turn to be happy." Up and Down A pilot who had baled out in North Africa, was coming down when he was amazed to see another man with his parachute going up.

D. Defries, Director of the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories and Direc- tor of the School of Hygiene of the University of Toronto, in an ad- dress to the Royal Canadian Insti- tute on Saturday night in Convoca- tion Hall. The work was planned and estab- lished by the late Dr. J. G. Fitz- gerald who in 1913 commenced the preparation, for the first time in Canada, of the vaccine for the pre- vention of hydrophobia (rabies), using the facilities of the Provincial Board of Health laboratories. A few months later, the University of To- ronto approved of the plans for preparing serum for the treatment of diphtheria, as well as other se- rums and vaccines used in control- ling communicable diseases. Dr. Fitzgerald had already made a start by having built a little stable for housing the several horses used in the initial effort to make diph- theria antitoxin. Laboratory space was then arranged in the basement of the Medical building. The procedures in the various lab- oratories were portrayed in motion pictures, so that it was easy to fol- low the steps in the making of In- sulin, the preparing of vaccines and the producing of large quantities of penicillin. Some of the film were in natural colour. How more than two million donations of blood from cit- izens throughout Canada were pro- cessed and-distributed in a form in i which the serum could be used months or even years later, was told in a series of pictures, Dufferin Division In pictures also were shown the Dufferfh Division of the Laborator- ies, a 145-acre farm property with modern laboratory buildings. This Division was made possible through the generosity of the late Colonel Sir Albert Gooderham. Research is the primary function of the Laboratories. At present more than fifty studies are being conducted. The preparation and dis- tribution of biological products are also an essential part of the work of the Laboratories, and in the last war, as in the World War I many of the vaccines, serums and related products which were required were supplied to the government for the use of the armed services. ® Other Editors SINCERITY - Press) There were 25 per cent. more divorces granted in 1945 than in 1944. What we need is more pro- pocals with a ring of sincerity, BUTTON COLLECTOR (Edmonton Journal) In his thirty years in the minis- try, an American preacher has built up a world-famous collection of buttons. Somehow this seems a reflection on his congregation.

WATERED STOCK (Calgary Herald) The Alberta Government made more than $8,000,000 profit on liquor sales last year. No wonder -- they are selling the stuff at exorbitant prices. And the fact that the liquor was watered, without any corres- ponding decrease in price, made the profit that much bigger. RIVALS FOR HOLLYWOOD (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) The British Royal Family and a group of Hollywood starts were out in London to attend a premiere of a British made picture and it was the arrival of thé Royal Family which caused the real crowds and traffic jams. And that may sur- prise Hollywood. OFFICIAL WASTE (Halifax Herald) Still another example of shock- ing waste in time of scarcity comes from Sleepy Cove on the western shore of Halifax Harbor, where buildings formerly used by the Royal Canadian Navy have been left unguarded, since the Navy de- clared them surplus. Since then the store of precious materials in the buildings has been left at the mercy of thieves, vandals, and the weather. Once again the results are about what one would expect. Much useful equipment has disap- peared, other material has been wantonly destroyed. e A Bible Thought A child remembering the figures on stained-glass windows, gave as a definition of a saint, "A saint is one who lets the light shine through." The apostle Paul, who referred to all believers as saints, wrote of them, "God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God In the face of Jesus. Christ." (II Cor. 4:6.) Are we letting the Light shine through our lives? ENTERPRISING CHINESE (Edmonton Journal) The spirit of enterprise is cer- tainly not dead in China. Chinese marauders have just stolen four miles of the Hong Kong-Singapore submarine cable. Unkind "I am very proud of my paint- ing," declared the conceited ar- tist. "I think I shall soon hold an exhibition of my work." As the candid critic inspected a sunset that resembled a fried egg, if any thing, he said coldly. "Well, take my tip and see you don't get rheumatism througn sitting on the cold pavement." Colour Problem Important For Democracy -- Wallace By ARNOLD AGNEW In "Varsity" "The whole problem of democracy is involved in the color question," declared Dr. Malcolm Wallace, speaking on "The American Negro," fifth in the series of public lectures at the University of Toronto. "If the United States fails to ans- wer those who claim that demo- cracy is just a sham, it may be judged in its foreign relations by its « reactionaries at home. The country may be called to a terrible accounting for ignoring justice. There is a great probability that the American Negro problem may be caught 'in a great world movement against color bars." He said that the colored peoples of the world are faced with the choice of two forms of government --western democracy and commun- ism. They may prefer the economic equality of communism. if demo- cracy fails to provide real liberty and equality. , . Dr. Wallace pointed out that we are living in a period of readjust- ment in human relations. "Two world wars have shaken the capitalistic system. The common man js endeavoring to get more share in the wealth of society and significant in this movement is the revolt of the colored peoples against the stigma of inferiority laid on them. Their role in the future will Sige be just as hewers of wood and awers of water, and it is import- ant for western civilization to study the forces making for this read- justment." "Resent Injustices" Although Canada has no large color problem, Dr, Wallace said that among our neighbors are 13 million Negroes who have been despised as a lesser breed, exploited ever since the days of slavery and barely tol- erated as mere strangers. They resent these injustices and are striving to achieve the full respon- sibilities of citizenship. to a survey of modern Negro educaton, the speaker said that the Negro student studying the history of his race is convinced that in his relations to the Negro "man is a wolf to man." Some of the slave owners were not so bad as others, but none of them could reconcile their Christianity and slave practices. They claimed that the Negro was inherently inferior. "That intelligence should have survived in Negroes is a wonder," continued Dr. Wallace, "However, native intelligence found ways of expressing itself in art and applied crafts. At the time or emancipa- tion, they held a monopoly of the mechanical arts." "Denied Ballot" After the Civil War, carpet bag- gers wreaked havoc on the South- erners. There was no. intelligent leadership after Lincoln's death, resulting in no provision for com- pensating former slave owners or settling ex-slaves on the land, Chaos ensued. The Southerners retaliated by crying "white supre- macy." As a result, the new order ap- proximated that of the old slave order. The Negro was sald to be inferior, he was denied the ballot, share-cropping was in effect slav- ery, and social segregation was practiced. Lynchings were "justi- fied" by the Negroes' inferiority. Neither the South nor the North now felt responsible for them. Although a public school system was established, and Negroes flock- ed to institutions of learning, the lack of teachers and the deplorable conditions under which they had to work was tragic. The early work done in education won recognition from Northern philanthropists. As a result great progress has been made in the colleges, but the bulk of Negro primary and secondary schools is still poor, For every five dollars spent on white educa- tion, only one was spent on colored people. The graduates of the Negro colleges, supported by Northern philanthropists provided trained teachers to serve their race, "Growing Liberal Thought" The chief difference between our universities and those of 'the Negroes is their conscious aim to produce leaders for the Negro com- munity. The students are taugh to regard their opportunity as way to serve their fellows. hh show little outward resentment for the treatment they have received. The accomplishments of the gradu- ates are an answer to those who have disparaged the Negro capa< bilities. Dr. Wallace suggested that the climate may be partly responsible for the "malarial mind." This ate mosphere is. ripe for fascist dema- gogues who always stir up trouble between the poor whites and Negroes. There is little chance for equality in the courts where there is a separate standard for the colored race. However, he sald, there is a grow- ing body of liberal thought in the South. "These people are convinc- eds that the Negro must be inte- grated into the social and political life of the country. They know "that salvation won't come from the outside. The Southern people must take the responsibility on their own shoulders," ® From Readers TWO SEPARATE WORDS Editor Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: In your paper today, Friday, you have pictures and an account of the opening of our new fire hall you call it Cedardale fire hall, Now Cedar Dale is two separate words and has been for 70 or 80 years and perhaps longer.
