Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 7,797 OCTOBER, 1947 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1947 Let Them Finish Their Tasks Before the end of the(phesent month the electors of Oshawa will attend the annuél nomination meeting to name candidates to represent them in the mayor's chair, as mem- bers of the City Council, Board of Education and Public Utilities Commission. Before then it would be well for the people of the city to give careful thought to the stewardship rendered by those entrusted with the operation of the city during the past year. In some centres it is the practice to elect. members of Council for two-year periods. This ensures a continuity of service and promotes intelligent administration through the carrying over of some members of that body. Oshawa does not follow this procedure, and as a result, it is more or less luck whether members are returned. In view of the number of important projects commenced this year, which it was not possible to complete, we believe it would be in the interests of the city if Mayor McCallum and the members of his council were returned for another term in order to speed the completion of these projects.' Indeed, the same thing might be said of the Board of Edu- cation members who are retiring, who have played a part in laying the plans for the erection of a new collegiate and the building of an addition to Ritson School. The major scheme which will be before next year's City Council will be the construction of a new sewage disposal plant and the laying of new trunk sewers. This program is already well in hand but it will require the knowledge of the present council members to prevent a lapse of time to pick up the loose ends. Another matter laid over from this year is the revision of the civic employees' salaries. Another is the much-disputed dressing room accommodation for Alexandra Park. The present city council has given good service to the taxpayers. They have worked together harmoniously and have given unstintingly of their time and energies. Oshawa still needs a strong council to handle the knotty problem of annexation of sections of East Whitby Township. It is to be hoped the electors will be wise in their selection of the men and women to legislate for them. pa Toda Will Promote Training The delivery of four more Sherman tanks to the 11th Armored (Ontario) Regiment on Saturday--raising the total of these weapons delivered in recent weeks to five--means that the regiment is now in a position to embark upon its training schedule. Since its re-organization the regiment has been handi- capped to a degree by the lack of equipment. While it has had some armored vehicles, it lacked tanks with which to carry out a training program. However, the time has not been wasted as a sound foundation in theory has been laid which will come in very useful when put into practice. Shortly after the cessation of hostilities quite a number of former tankmen in the community expressed a desire to associate theraselves with the regiment, but voiced a desire to delay their resumption of military training until such time as the unit secured tanks. Tt is to be hoped that their en- thusiasm has not diminished and that they will see their way clear to rejoin the regiment. Reserve units such as the 11th Armored (Ontario) Regi- ment will form the backbone of the Canadian army if it is ever necessary to mobilize again. For that reason it is essen- tial that the highest calibre of men give of their time to keep up with the latest developments in tactics and theory so that the name of the regiment will be maintained in the place it so richly deserves. Put Them Away The intensive search by Toronto police for a degenerate in connection with the rape and strangulation of 13-year-old Arlene Anderson, whose body was found in a vacant lot on Thursday has centred attention upon the sex perverts who form part of our population. There was a time when Canadians looked dowr their noses at the United States for its unenviable record of such crimes. This is no longer the case. The Anderson slaying is not an isolated case. Winnipeg has had a number of sadis- tie killings in the last year or so which are believed to have been the work of perverts, Those who have reason to know tell us that short prison sentences and treatment in mental hospitals does not cure this type of individual. The only method of dealing with them is to place them out of harm's way in-an institution for life, to prevent them preying upon children and women who are unable to fend off their unwelcome attentions. Immediate action should be taken to amend existing laws to make it possible to incarcerate thosé; who are a DAILY TIMES- GAZETTE EDITORIAL PAGE By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Nov. 10--Everyone knows that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation does not suffer from a dictatorship complex. Of course, there is often friction between the corporation owned and operated by the government and the private stations. Such friction is natural in day to day living, But if any- there is always the right to appeal. That is, if the CBC makes a bad decision affecting other persons, then something can be worked out. How do we know all this? Why, the CBC says 80. They have given such assurances repeatedly before the Radio Committee in Ottawa and in their own public statements, Recently there was a fascinating development in the comrlex char- acter of the CBC, It made a ruling that no "spot announcements" could be made at night by charit- able organizations or any other per- son or body. The church bazaar could not ask the local station, for instance, to say the bazaar would be open at noon tomorrow, The SBC ruled that out. Nor may any station announce a sports score after 7.30 pm. That is, no station may say: "Canadiens 2-0 end of second, courtesy. Imper- ial Oil" Thus the church and welfare or- ganizations--which do not pay for these spot announcements--and the companies which do pay for them, are all ruled out or order and off the airwaves. The CBC says: "The CBC main~ tains that there is sufficient open time before 7.30 p.m, to carry an- nouncements 'supporting charitable organizations and other similar types. When this regulation .was decided the CBC judged that it was better in order to maintain a good standard of broadcasting not to have any spot announcements whatsoever between 7.30 p.m. and 11 pm." The fact that hockey games are not played in the afternoon doesn't seem to enter into it. Mind you, the CBC is not prohibiting the broad- cast of commercially-sponsored hoc- key games. They are permitted as always. They merely say that the neighborhood station is prohibited from broadcasting the score at any time during the game. Lest there be any doubt about this ruling, let me quote from a CBC letter dated Sept. 8 this year. It says: "No spot announcements may be aired on week days between 7.30 pm, and 11 p.m. nor on Sundays, with the exception of time and meteorological bulletins provided that in both cases the advertising is limited to the name of the spon- sor only. "Certain radio stations broadcast during the evening and on Sundays non-sponsored announcements on behalf of charitable or welfare, or- ganizations. Such announcements are not to be broadcast between the hours mentioned above. "By the same regulation radio stations are not permitted to broad- cast (always between the hours stated above and on Sundays) spot announcements giving the score at the close of a period in a game be- tween two teams, nor any informa- tion on the respective position of the teams, during the game." In the CEC books this comes un- der the heading of "freedom", for, as we said earlier, the CBC has nothing of a dictatorship complex. There is one more fascinating bit of evidence, All this applies only in the Province of Quebec and no station in Quebec may appeal to Toronto for a new ruling, In Quebec, as everyone knows, anything can happen, especially in the CBC management. To the CBC, Quebec is a country-within- a-country, easily controlled from Ottawa.
