Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 7, 8 3 0 DECEMBER, 1946 SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1947 County Wins Again In winning the public-speaking contest in connection with the recent conference of the Junior Farmers of Ontario, Francis Willson of Locust Hill, President of the Junior Far- mers of Ontario County, has brought well-deserved honors to the county. Over a period of years it has been our privilege to at- tend quite a number of public-speaking contests. Unlike the Junior Farmers' contest the contestants were boys and girls of public school age, many of them making their initial ap- pearance on the public platform. While some of the efforts were too parrot-like and gave evidence of being memorized others were remarkable in their presentation. Many men in business and public life today would give almost anything to have had such an opportunity. When called upon to speak they stammer, stutter and are unable to put their thoughts into concrete form. Learning the rudi- ments of public speaking at an early age is a step in the right direction. Boys and girls' who have this chance think rapidly and lucidly and learn to express themselves clearly. Though they may not be called upon to take a promin- ent place in public life, those who learn the art of public speaking gain self-confidence which stands them in good stead in their associations with their fellows. They always leave a good impression and can rise to the occasion when required to do so. , Proper Light Adjustment Increasing attention is being focused on the matter of headlight glare. An analysis made in the United States shows conclusively that dazzling headlights are one of the chief contributing causes of the alarmingly high highway accident toll. It has been suggested that one solution would be to plant hedges between the lanes of our two-lane highways. This is a step in the right direction but it does not solve the problem on rural roads where there is only one lane. There it is a question of proper adjustment and of the exercise of courtesy when meeting other vehicles. The difficulty with modern driving conditions arises from the improvement in road surfaces which in turn lead to increased speeds and the need for better lighting. Higher candlepower bulbs have been put into use. If properly ad- justed they should give no cause for complaint. If not in proper adjustment lights, are useless and dangerous. A Good Send-Off Over a period of years the Oshawa Rotary Club has car- ried on the happy practice of having the members of the Oshawa and East Whitby Township Councils, together with the officials of both municipalities, as its guests at its first meeting following the elections. On Monday next the an- nual Civic Day program will be repeated with Hon. George Harrison Dunbar, Minister of Municipal Affairs, as the spec- ial speaker. The club has been most fortunate in its choice of speak- ers in the past and Monday next is no exception. Such speakers have brought much valuable information which has not only served to inform but to encourage council mem- bers in the carrying out of their duties. The Hon. Mr. Dun- bar, as the head of one of the government's most important departments, can be counted upon to deliver an address of outstanding interest. : Following as it does by a few hours the inaugural meet- ings of the Oshawa and East Whitby Councils, the Rotary - luncheon serves also to start off the year in an auspicious manner and at the same time brings the members of both bodies together in closer bonds of friendship and under- standing. Strapping Would Help The attempt early yesterday to open the safe in the local office of the National Employment Service serves to again focuse attention upon the fact that despite the need for able-bodied men for all manners of jobs there are still those who would rather live by their wits and at the expense of others. It all boils down to lack of respect for the law and the rights of others. We well remember when a group of boys in their 'teens appeared before a magistrate on a charge of breaking and entering a Liquor Control Board store. Far from being meek and remorseful over their wrong-doing, they joked among themselves until reprimanded by the Bench, Even when several of them were sentenced to terms He Wants Ice Cream Without the Cone --Russell in the Los Angeles Times in the Ontario Reformatory, lightly. crime would come to an end. they treated the whole affair The only way to make offenders of this type respect the law is to impose a jail term and strapping. While the young criminal looks upon a jail term as a time for eating and rest at the expense of the state, the thought of physical humilia- tion is something he cannot stand. to provide for a good old-fashioned whaling much petty e Readers' Views * COURIER BADLY MIXED Editor, Times-Gazette. Dear Sir: Local Communists must have raised: their collective eye- brows in surprise when they saw this week's Courier laud W. PF. Rutherford, the lone Labor Pro- gressive Party candidate in the re- cent municipal election, The Courier is so tangled up in its hatred of M. J. Fenwick and or- labor that it didn't even investigate who was and who wasn't a memmer of the LPP among the five labor candidates in last Monday's election contest. If it were a responsible journal it would have checked its facts care- fully as legitimate newspapers do. Now we see the spectacle of the Courier praising Rutherford for his "splendid showing" while it osten- sibly attacks communisnmrby hyster- ical outbursts against Fenwick who is not a' member of the Labor Pro- gressive Party. If the Courier wasn't so muddled in its vendetta against Fenwick it couid have seen by the Jan. 4 Cana- dian Tribune that Rutherford was the only labor candidate supported by that journal. The Canadian Tribune does not usually support anyone not having the blessing of the LPP. This week's Courier makes no mention of James J. Cullen, the president of the Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council. Why? - Be- cause even the Courier could no longer hide the fact that Mr, Cullen is a good Catholic and a member of the Holy Cross Church, Did the Courier apologize to Mr, Cullen? Not on your life, The Courier should be given the booby prize of the year for being the most "accurately" informed throw-away sheet in Oshawa. If all its articles are based on similar misinformations that is peddled about Fenwick and Cullen it should edge Ananias out for first place. "FAIR PLAY" BEGINNING TO WONDER (Brantford Expositor) Liberal Premier John Hart of British Columbia evidently got a good break from Santa Claus at Ot- tawa and is willing to sign on the dotted line for $100 million spread over five years.

The appointment was made by the Educational Council of Ontario.

Catharines Standard) Here is an actual case reported this week, a little tot of a girl cry- ing alone on a St. Catharines street waiting for her father. Where was he? The new law for Ontario makes it a serious offence for chil- dren to be left alone, while a parent drinks in a beverage room, or both parents. Among life's shadows, this sort of thing surely should be made a crime, WHAT DOES HE KNOW? (Calgary Herald) And who is Brock Chisholm, any- way? Does he make an annual ap- pearance in department stores throughout the land? Does he come down the chimney and fill the stockings hung on the mantel? Then what right has he to talk? Until someone produces some very convincing proof, we aren't even going to believe in Brock Chisholm. In the meantime, we'll go right on believing in Santa Claus, and to heck with our ability to think. YOU CAN'T BEAT IT (Winnipeg Free. Press) One might think in the United States where within the past year big wage increases were eaten up by price increases brought on by the DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE EDITORIAL PAGE higher wages, that the lesson of ex- perience would have been learned and still be fresh in the memory. But already the second round of wage demands is starting, has start- ed with the coal strike, and other great unions are formulating new demands. GUESSING AT MR. KING (Peterborough Examiner) Surely people who are familiar with Mr. King's history know that he will do what he has always done, in the way that he has al- ways done it. He will not make any decision suddenly, and neither cided until he thinks that the prop er time has arrived for such a2 announcement. He will not yield to his opponents any advantage which might lie in a foreknowledge of his intentions. He will rely upon the extraordinary combination 'of insight and intuition which has guided him in many important de- cisions.
