How true this statement was is proved by yesterday's announcement by the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Goods Company, Ltd., of Toronto, that it will erect a $1,500,000 plant south of the new highway and east of Whitby Harbor. The acquisition of the plant by the Town of Whitby is a tribute to Mayor Davidson, members of his Council, civic officials, members of the Chamber of Commerce and others who played a part in working out the details. During the past year the County Town has been successful in attracting a number of firms, indicating that the town is taking on a new vitality which speaks well for its future development. There was a time when the keenest rivalry prevailed between Oshawa and Whitby. While in a sense this is still true, the competition which once aroused the ire of the residents of the two communities. has been submerged. Speaking with a number of prominent Oshawa business and professional. men concerning the new industry, The Times-Gazette heard nothing but expressions of congratu- lation and the voicing of the feeling that what benefits Whitby also benefits Oshawa and all of Ontario County. Residents of Whitby are deserving of heartiest con- gratulations on the new era of industrial development which is dawning. It may well be that this is only the first of many industries. If such is the case we are sure that every- pne in the district is pulling for the town as the day is past when any community can live unto itself alone. Any success scored by one is shared with its neighbors, Poles Need Help Plans are rapidly taking shape for the conduct in Osh- awa next week of a campaign to raise money for the United Polish Relief Fund. The local campaign is part of a Domin- lon-wide drive to raise $1,500,000 for the relief of the people pf Poland. Sir John Boyd Orr, director-general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, in a statement to officials of the United Polish Relief Fund of Canada, urged immediate shipment of dried milk and cod liver oil to Poland to arrest alarming malnutrition of children. "The voluntary reduction of the consumption of bacon and butter by Canadians saved Britain in its hour of need," he said. "The people of Canada continue to show the same generosity and I hope that there will be an excellent response to the special appeal for help to Poland. I am certain that when the food story of the war and postwar period is written, the rising generation of Canada will be proud of the great eontribution their country made to the alleviation of hunger and misery among their fellow men in less fortunate countries." Stating that he was exceptionally moved by the prelim- inary report of an FAO mission on the urgent need for help especially for mothers and children, Sir John said that in all European countries which were ravished by the war there will be difficulty this winter to retain rations even at the low level of last winter. "Shortage of food, fuel and housing," he said, "is undermining the health of the people in these coun- tries, and apart from the excessive death rate, the future of the countries will be affected by the undernourishment of the . children. People who are living in countries where food is relatively abundant should give all the help i can, even though it involves a certain amount of sacrifice." ' In the special report made By the FAO economic mission to Poland it is stated that on ration cards milk will be avail- able only for children up to three years of age at the rate of 7 litres (just over 6 quarts) per month, but none will be available on ration cards to children of other ages. The re- port also states that the inadequaty of the supply of vitamin deficiency is responsible for the high proportion of ricket cases among Polish children.

PRESENT STOCK of RANGE and PEA COKE wie § 350 reno The ROBERT DIXON 313 ALBERT ST. psn 262 By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Dec. 12--It now costs 76 cents for lunch or dinner in the Parliamentary Restaurant, a jump of 15 cents over last year. Cost of breakfast is up, too, and mem- bers remember the delicious ham and eggs they once could have for 35 cents. on a sliding scale. raged recently about public criti- cismi of the cost of their meals. argue this way: A correspondent in the Press Gallery may eat in the restaurant, and he pays exactly what a member pays. Ergo, the reporter should keep his mouth shut. Why did the cost of meals go up this year? The answer isn't hard to find. A few weeks before Par- liament opened the word was pass- ed that the restaurant was going to hold the price down-to the old rate of 60 cents. A half dozen re. porters wrote the story and the authorities on Parliament Hill be- came alarmed. It looked too much like privilege for the few, because the public was paying higher prices for everything and the gov- ernment was steadily refusing to ré-impose controls. So up went the prices. But some politicians still argue that correspondents have no busi- ness writing stories about how and what they eat, and for how much. It decreases so they say, the dig- nity of Parliament. They' forget that if they stayed in tune with the times, if they willing suffered what the public is suffering, their prestige would be higher. Instead they have to wait for a few news- papermen to prod them along. The truth is that the Parlia- mentary Restaurant is a subsidiz- ed institution. There is a deficit every year and the ordinary tax- payer contributes a part of his earnings toward it. This is al- right. This part of the cost that Canadians pay for Parliament, and it is a justifiable cost. Politicians must eat somewhere. They must eat close to their work.. Obviously no restaurant can operate five or six months a year, then disband the staff, close shop, and expect to make a profit. No taxpayer will quarrel with a politician willing to pay his fair share of the cost. Taxpayers have a right to squawk their heads off when a politician seeks privileges. If any politician wants to carry this argument further this corres- pondent knows of some other pri- vileges --much abused-- that can stand the light of day, he A SOR J NEW SPIRIT SHOWING--The first few days of Parliament show- ed the Tories roaring mad, the 'Liberals itching to fight, and the CCF smoothly jockeying for posi- Now it's nearer 50 and The politicians have been outs |; Some of the thin-skinned members |!

Pefsonally, the suggestion made by the Honourable G. D. Conant at that time that this new modern traffic artery be named "The Prin- cess Elizabeth Way" seems to me to be most timely and appropriate. When so many are striving to weaken the ties, which have for centuries existed between this country and England, it might be a gesture in the right direction to indicate that all in this country of ours are not favorably disposed to- ward such a reactionary movement and the naming of this Highway after one of the Royal Family ap- peals to me very much and my own opinion is that a concerted effort should be made to urge upon those in authority to so designate this new road.

Not in years has the ses- sion got off to such a tempestu- ous start. There is no secret about what has happened to the Progressive Conservatives, They have taken such a beating in hostile publicity in the last few years that they finally decided to pull themselves together. For two days just as Parliament opened they held a caucus and did some honest soul searching and decided to come out fighting. The response they have thus far received in the press of Canada has heartened them and, according to Gordon Graydon, ex- House Leader, theyre going to fight every inch of the way. The Liberals have watched this rather anxiously. There has been an inclination in the last few par- liaments to take little notice of what the Opposition wanted. Now things are showing differently. When John Bracken shouted 'Mur- der' during the first day of Parlia- ment, the House was startled. Prime Minister Mackenzie King, when 'he answered the PC leader, seemed to recognize there was a new spirit in the House. Mr. King had previously treated Mr. Brack- en with ordinary courtesy and Mr. King seemed to believe he did not need to give any extra-ordinary performance against the PC's. When he spoke the other night the Prime Minister seemed to shed ten years. His voice was strong and firm, as if he, too, were say- ing, "Alright, if you~want a fight, here § am. ® 45 Years Ago R. C.
