' : Net Paid Circulation" 8,166 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1946 Why Switzerland? In the days before the war residents of the British Isles, not to speak of sports enthusiasts in the United States, avafled' themselves of the snow, ice and well-appointed hostelries of Switzerland for holiday outings where they could enjoy to their hearts content the zest of outdoor sports. At about the same time wide publicity was being given to Sun Valley and the Adirondacks in the United States. However, we believe that if similar centres in Ontario and Quebec play their cards properly they will be able to attract [J Average Per Issue FOR NOVEMBER ® 45 Years Ago A fire which started in the tin- ning and blacksmithing depart- ment of the Martin Manufacturing Company gave the local fire de- partment lots of work before it was extinguished. Loss to the building and contents was esti- mated at about $1,500. A public meeting was held in Brooklin under the chairmanship of Reeve Vipond, to elect officers and transact business regarding the Christmas Fair that was to be held December 20, 1901. Those elected were: president, John Vi- pond; vice-President, D. Holliday; secretary, H. T. Langford; canvass- ing committee, Messrs. Haycraft, McNeally, Ashton and Allems. The Ladies' Aid Society of Whitby St, Andrew's Church held a fine meeting with Rev, Abra- ham. Rev. Wright of All Saints' Church addressed the -gathering. Those who took part in the pro- gram were: Maude Heal and Olive Briggs, both of Ontario Ladies' College, who gave readings; Jean- ette Crabb, who gave a piano solo and Kate Fraser, who pleased with a vocal solo. At the Simcoe Street Methodist Church the choir gave an excellent performance before a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Pick- ard was in charge of the choir and the guest solois= were Mrs. Mc- Kelcan, contralto, and Owen Smi~ ley. George Fox gave a fine dis- play on the piano. At a meeting of the town coun- cil, Councillor Provan, chairman of the streets and improvements com- mittee, reported that the Oshawa Street Railway Company was pro- ceeding to lay new track at Mill and Centre Streets, according to the by-law of 1894. Though one of the councillors protested this, the mayor and council approved. o Other Editors a large share of this business. There is no reason why Canada should be looked upon by Americans as a summer playground only. Those who live in northern New York State, Ohio and Pennsylvania will come in as large numbers during the winter months as in the summer 1 they are pro- vided with information about ski and skating resorts. "The C.P.R. gives wide publicity to the skiing in and | around Quebec City and smaller organizations can do the | same for their communities. We have in mind the North- | umberland County Forest Ski Club at Cobourg, which, starting from scratch last year, leased land, erected a tow and chalet and despite very adverse winter conditions did very well. This year the club is planning bigger and better things among which are a series of broadcasts over a radio station in Buffalo. Cobourg expects to have a bumper winter season in so far as its hotels and restaurants are concerned. Other centres might well take a leaf from Cobourg's book. Christmas Tree Hazards One of the delights of the Christmas season for old and young alike is the Christmas tree. How much bright- ness and color it adds to the house even before its colorful decorations are added. At this time, when the Yuletidz séason is just around the corner, we would like tc add a word of caution to parents and children. The Christmas tree can be a great fire hazard. Almost every Christmas this happy Season is marred by reports of damage, indeed often death, resulting from fires started in or by Christinas trees or decorations. If care is taken these fires need not occur. The law provides for the fireproofing of trees used. in stores, hotels and other public buildings. These measures could well be adopted by private | citizens in their own homes purely a8 a precautionary step | toward self protection. Fire precautions do not take much time or money. A solution of ammonium sulphate can be used to fireproof the tree itself. Flame-proofed cotton snow can also be pur- chased or ordinary cotton can be flameproofed. Electrical connections should also be carefully checked. The: > are only a few cf the precautions which can pe taken but they will pay off in prevention and the knowledge - that nothing can occur to mar the happines of the Christmas season. Miner Foundation Carries On Although Jack Miner, Kingsville naturalist and founder of the well-known bird sanctuary, has passed on, the work he established is being continued. Five years prior to his death he .Jeeded his sanctuary, his home, park and children's community clubhouse to the Jack Miner Migratory Bird which organization has sought to keep up not only the sanctuary, but also Jack Miner's great "gospel of conservation." : Maintenance of the sanctuary costs $20,000 annually, with only $7,378 collected in 1946 up to September 1. ° The sanctuary, which has brought the Kingsville, Ont.,. district 80 much valuable publicity, has been the means of saving great numbers of migratory birds in their regular flights. It also has played a very important part in educating the young folk of the province in the ways of our wild life, a work which the foundation is $lanning to extend "if funds permit."

There are some 11, 000,000, perhaps 15,000,000, Russians either in prisons or concentration camps. They are there because they are opposed to Stalin and the present regime in the Kremlin. The secret police keeps active and no tolerance is allowed. In addition to the general dis- tress, there is the trouble caused by ambitious individuals trying to put Stalin on the shelf and so make room for themselves at the head of the state. That compli- cates matters. World War I brought the re- volution that ended the dictator- ship of the czars.

Britain Moves To Remove Sting From Depressions London, Dec. 6. --(CP)--If ec- onomists and statistics do all that is expected of them, Britain will know how to avoid or at least blunt the next depression, Lakor government spokesmen say detailed figures are being col- lected on production, manpower, supplies of materials, trade trends, national requirements and past ex- perience. Lessons taken from them will be transmitted to industry and trade unions, with government sug- gestions for industrial programs to make Britain's economy more se- cure: ; "The while object is to prevent ourselves getting into economic trouble but, if we are affected by depression conditions, to adapt our- selves are far as possible," cne2 high government source said, "We are finding that employers and trade unions generally want to play the game with the national in- terest and not' rock the economic applecart." If the internal economy is secure, Britain will be in better shate to withstand the shock of internation- al depression, the government con- tends. Authorities have no expec- tation" that Britain can complete- ly escape if other major trading na- tions are affected. With every prospect of full em- ployment in the domestic field for years to come, the government is finding snags almost as difficult as | those of unemployment. One is | the danger that wages will get out | of hand. s | The government agrees that es- | sential but sometimes disagreeable | tasks such as coal mining should | receive better rewards that in the past. But the experience has been that when miners and others in a | certain category of workers re- | ceive more pay, those of a higher | pay level, although perhaps engaged | in less essential work, also demand | more money to maintain the old | differential, 01d Buggy Days Are Recalled Kitchener, Dec. 6. --(CP) -- On | market days. in Ontario all automo- | biles should be barred from the | road--at least that was the conten- | tion of horse-drawn buggy owners in the days motor vehicles raced about at 10 miles an hour, Speaking to the North Watedloo Auto Club last night, W, G.
