Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue # 1 4 eS FOR NOVEMBER TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1946 Ability Recognized The Times-Gazette takes this opportunity of joining with his many friends and associates in the practice of law in extending congratulations to Mr. J. C. Anderson, K.C., whose appointment to the County Court Bench in Hastings County, to succeed Judge Charles A. Cameron, was an- nounced yesterday. This is the second occasion, in recent years, that the Bar of Ontario County has been so honored -- the other | appointment being that of John A. McGibbon, K.C., to the County Court Bench in the County of Victoria. His Honor | Judge McGibbon has lent distinction to the office and has | performed his duties well. We feel that Mr. Anderson will | enjoy a similarly successful career on the Bench in Hastings County, of which he is a native son. During his 20 years in practice with W. KE. N, Sinclair, | K.C., Mr. Anderson has gained a wide knowledge of the law | which will stand him in good stead. Despite the demahds made upon his time and energies by his practice, Mr. Ander- son has given unstintingly of his ability in many capacities | in the civic life of the community. He spent many years | as a member of the Board of Education, the Public Utilities | Commission and the City Council, being twice the city's | chief magistrate. He also gave able leadership as chairman | of the Oshawa Win-the-War and Community Fund. With other public spirited residents of the community we regret that Mr. Anderson leaves us but, this loss is | tempered with the knowledge that he is entering upon a | wider and more important field of work. What is Oshawa, | and Ontario County's loss is the gain of Belleville and Hastings County. Our very best wishes go with him in his | new field of service. Shocking Death Toll The world. has been shocked beyond measure within the past few days by a series of fires. While the property | loss was great in each instance what made them more regrettable was the loss of life. It is to be hoped that search- ing enquiries will be carried out to place the blame where it | rightfully belongs. Last Saturday 120 persons lost their lives in the fire at | the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Before there was time for the news to be fully realized, a second fire destroyed the Barry Hotel in Saskatoon with the loss of 11 lives and injury to 18 others. In both instances the flames spread with lightning rapidity and guests were trapped in their rooms. Buildings, which were supposed to be fireproof, burned like tinder. ' There must be some explanation. It would also appear that adequate means for guests to make their way to safety were lacking. Hotels and other institutions which house large numbers of guests should he made to hue to the line in the matter of protection for those they serve, The fire which destroyed the Department of Veterans | Affairs hospital at Peterborough last Friday morning is yet another instance of needless loss. Fortunately in this cake | there was no loss of life as all the 228 patients were able to | nake their way to safety before the building was gutted. This fire does raise the question, however, as to why a government hospital should be housed in a building of frame construction. Erected originally as a staff house for war- | time workers, the building was converted into a hospital less | than a year ago. Tt may be pointed out that its use was directed by the extreme need and the shortage of materials. | It is our thought that the men who fought for their country are deserving of better quarters where their lives would not i be subject to such risks as existed in this case. Liners Still Popular Although' there were many who predicted when the liners "Queen Mary" and "Queen Elizabeth" were built that they would be the last of the large luxury type vessels, present indications are that the water route to Kuropis still as popular as it ever was and that air travel may have to wait some years before it can make sizable inroads into the revenues of the steamship companies. At present there are approximately 40,000 persons with reservations for the two "Queens" vhile air lines are finding that their service is not as popular as they thought it would be. This ir a measure may be attributable to the seri=s of crashes which beset them this fall. ' The drawing power of liner travel lie in the fact that it offers luxury travel conditions and the chance to secure four days of restful travel away from the rush oudife ashore, Passengers on a liner. can walk about the decks, go to a movie, swim in a pool and enjoy the gaiet of the library. Another inducement is the fact that vanity can be indulged In by dressing for dinner and listening to an orchestra play the tunes of the day. However, air travel is still to the fore for those who are in a hurry and have little time to spend on travel. To our way of thinking air travel will continue to expand and in time hold a more important place than it does today. | | | | | | of the largest gatherings of a po- | litical nature that has been seen | sociation to try to have more ev. | to the audience what a credit Mr. " WW probl The program, which will take the form of a round-table dis- cussion, will be from 6:45 to 7 p.m. over CKDO. » The members of the Board who will take part in tonight's discussion will be Trustees Dr. F.

John Bracken, | able leader of the Progressive Conservative party, Unfortunate- | ly, due to a prominent position, Mr, Bracken has on the United Nation's committee at the con- ference in New York, he was un- able to be present, However, his two pinch-hitters, Wing Com- mander Larry Skey and Alderman Harold Timmins were pretty hard to beat. Charles E, Stephenson, M.L,, | from this riding spoke first, and | opened with a couple of amusing stories that put everyone at ease, and sitting back in their chairs, ! relaxed to enjoy what was to fol-| low. After a few sketchy remarks about the Progresive Conservative party he proceeded to introduce the guest speakers, The Hon. Dr, Vivian, ex-minis- ter of health gave a b:ief speech in which he expressed how im- pressed he was with the signifi. | cance of the crowd that had ga-| | thered and how the committee In | charge should be heartily congra- | tulated. He also left us with some | very fine thoughts which we | won't forget easily, Wing Commander Larry Skey, | a veteran of the last Great War and this, a man who had served in the Air Force in nearly every country in which Canada fought, then took the spotlight. Mr. Skey opened by expressing on behalf of Mr. Bracken, his ap- ologies for not being present, He then gave us a vivid picture of the character and life of the Hor. John Bracken, His talk was very illuminating and certainly proved Skey is to his party. Alderman Timmins last but certainly not least gave a very | forceful talk; and his natural, | easy manner, made the audience | | wish he wouldn't "sit down" too | soon, After hearing Mr. Timmins we can understand why the peo- ple of Parkdale elected him as | their member in Parliament. He | will certainly watch with interest the outcome o the cocktail lounge | issue in Toronto at the present time; in which Mr. Timmins 1s playing a leading role, Mr. Colwill returned, to hand the "mike" over to Bill Rawland, | convener of the lunch committee, | who brought ug the good news | that lots of lunch and coffee was | ready in the basement for all those who were hungry.
