Net Paid Circulation Novemeer, 100 7,915 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1947 Distinguished Visitor A distinguished visitor in Oshawa this week end will be Commissioner Charles Baugh, commander of The Salvation Army in The Army's Canadian Territory. During his stay here, he will address three meetings, namely, the morning and evening services at the Oshawa Citadel and an afternoon reception tomorrow. A Salvationist for 52 years, Commissioner' Baugh spent 14 years in India where he took an active part in the program of work among the criminal tribes with the result that large numbers accepted Christ. Having distinguished himself in financial administration in India, he was appointed auditor general for The Salvation Army in 1929. He travelled to all parts of Europe, South Africa, The Dutch Indies, Singapore, Australia, the West Indies, South America, Canada and the United States before he became chief of staff in 1943. The most spectacular period of his career was during | World War II, when narrow escapes from death were com- monplace events of life in London. Many nights Commis- sioner and Mrs. Baugh spent urlder a cast steel table shelter. Born in England, Commissioner Baugh entered the Salvation Army service as an office boy at London head- quarters. From the age of five to 12 he was in Canada with try at Woodstock, Kingston, Moncton and London, Ontario. Oshawa is privileged to have such a distinguished visitor. His travels and his close contact with conditions | want. throughout the world place him in an admirable position to interpret the meaning of the rapidly changing complexion of international affairs. A Safe Holiday School efforts in teaching traffic safety education are having encouraging results. Compared with last year, there has been no increase in traffic deaths among children aged 5 to 14 during the months of September, October and No- vember--in spite of the big increase in the number of licensed vehicles and drivers. But during the Christmas holidays the children are not subject to school discipline and it is up to adults in general to watch out for them. Drivers themselves can help make it a safe holiday for the kids by being especially 'alert when driving through residential districts. Watch out for the unwary youngster who may suddenly run out onto the street or come from behind a parked car. Drive only at speeds that are safe for the weather and road conditions. Parents should impress their children with the need for extra caution during this holiday season. There is a greater flow of traffic at this time of month and the children are more exposed to this hazard than when at school. They should look both way: before crossing the streets and cross at intersections only. And they should not play games on the streets. Children darting around the road at play do not give the motorists much chance of avoiding them umder winter conditions. Destructive Field Mice Farmers have to contend with many pests that destroy their crops. One of the most damaging is the field mouse, of which there are many varieties. They are most prevalent in the West, but the amount of damage caused by this pest in Western Ontario is greater than the average farmer realizes. Kerry Wood, writing in The Family Herald and Weekly Star, reports that during the bad year of 1942-43, farmers in Alberta and Western Saskatchewan found as many as 30 field mice under a single stook, and as snow delayed threshing until spring, the average yield was 20 bushels compared with an expected 40, the mice having eaten the rest. Field mice were so plentiful that threshing machines ran red with blood and the works were clogged with mashed bodies, while farmers themselves suffered from an ailment | called "mouse ringworm" or "mouse eczema." Such a plague can occur again--and it may spread into Ontario. The mice breed rapidly, having five or six litters a year of six or eight youngsters, which start raising families of their own at three months. Research has shown that each mouse can eat 30 pounds of green stuff a year, so that 60 of them will eat oné ton. What protection has the It is pointed out that a single weasel will kill hundreds of mice in a season. Weasels, unfortunately, also kill poultry out of.sheer murderous instinct. Next come owls and hawks. Foxes and skunks are also nice killers, although the latter prefer grasshoppers which are another farm pest. Possibly field mice are becoming so much of a problem because so many of their enemies are being destroyed, thus upsetting the 'balance of nature." The indiscriminate Shooting of hawks is partly responsible. So says Dr. J. D. Detwiler, professor 'of zoology at Western University.

The authority of the order was based on resolutions "to be in- troduced in Parliament at the com- ing session." This means that the executive government-- the dozen men in a backroom -- can raise your taxes in midsummer if they want to. Then later they may ask Parlia- ment to approve. It is not much of a step from this procedure to imposing taxes without bothering to ask belated approval from Parlia- ment. When he was accused of irregu- larity in this taxation method, Mr. Abbott had an explanaiton ready. What he had done, he said, was no different than what is done each year with the budget. New taxes are first introduced in the form of resolutions and Parliament is ask- ed to approve. That is true. The difference is this: the cus- toms collectors are not telegraphed saying the authority is resolutions "to be' introduced in Parliament. They are telegraphed the night the budget is presented, and told that the resolutions are before Parlia- ment. ! Mr. Abbott further explained that he was simply notifying the Cana- coming. And he said: "If Parlia- ment refuses to impose it (the new tax) nobody is under legal obliga- tion to pay the tax Now that, of course, nonsense. Not pay the tax indeed! Let anyone try to purchase anything without' paying the tax. You pay or you don't get the article you is arrant If Parliament does not approve-- a fanciful thought--then the whole government is thrown out of office. Then, and then only, would the tax become not payable. The prospect of the Liberal Party voting against a decision of the dozen men in the backroom is more than the man in the moon. Members of Parliament do what they are told. They vote as they are told. There are some rare ex- ceptions like Sinclair of Vancouver and Pouliot of Quebec, but not of- ten do even these independent men disobey. : A special investigation of this new taxation would find some strange cases of "fixing" by the administrateion. I heard of one company which had ordered some goods manufactured in the United States a long time before the new order became effective. The goods were not delivered until the taxes were imposed. The customs collec- tor, naturally, wanted to collect the tax. Obviously, however, it was an unfair imposition and some friend went to some friend in the govern- ment and got the goods cleared It is handy | without any payment. | to have friends. | Another case -- this one was re- | ported in Parliament -- was turn- | &d down by the government fixers. | It was in a Conservative riding. Some U.S. goods arrived in a Cana- dian freight yard the day before the new taxes were imposed. one knew the new taxes were com- ing. That day it was too late to obtain clearance. But on the fol- lowing day when the businessmen went to get his goods the tax col- lector wanted an extra sum of $3,- 000. There was no friend in the government in this case. There was no one able to fix it. Why? The only reason can be that it was in a Conservative riding. { | to be made in the next Parlia- ment. ® 50 Years Ago Robert McLaughlin, F. L. Fowke and Mayor W.

Editor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: As one views the con- fail to be convinced there are acti- vities in the church and in the state, which_-are treading the path that leads to the creation of a military minded people. We are, however, glad to know that our gov- ernments have not, as yet, granted their requests; but stahd firmly on the old policy of "no peace-time, compulsory military training for the youth of the land" and "no eom- pulsory cadet training for our school boys." We hope their hands will be upheld in that regard. What would a military-minded people do? Of course, they would | demand the most modern and destructive weapons that science and industry could produce.

We find in modern history that France and Germany, in the past, made greater preparation for war than any other country in the world, and the same two countries have suffered the greatest devastation as a result of war than any country in the world. History reveals *hat previous to the Franco-German war of 1870-71, the German people were noted for their modesty, piety, integrity and their desire to live in peace and harmony with their fellow coun- tries. At that time a controversy arose between the governments of France and Germany, with the re- sult that French armed forces marched in on German soil. The Germans sprang to the defence of their country, and the forces of Germany defeated and overwhelm- ed the forces of France, that she was compelled to submit to a umili- ating treaty. Then the victorious soldier boys of Germany went marching home to be met by a thankful and appreci- ative people. They were feted here, and banquetted there; silver- of the brave soldier boys; movements and memorials were erected all over {the land; organ shields and me- morjagl windows adorned the beau- tiful cathedrals of her towns and | cities, and so, step by step, little by | little, the modest Germany of 1870-1 | was transformed into the mightiest military force in all the world. | bination of forces, has she been sig- [nally defeated.

And now, Mr. Editor, as we desire { to show our appreciation to those who paid the supreme sacrifice, and those who returned home, by placing organ shields and memorial windows in our churches, spec- tacular military - parades in our streets, erecting memorials in pub- lic places, let us beware we do not sow the same seed in the minds of Canadian youth as was sown in the minds of German youth 75 years ago, which grew and developed and caused that country to become the mightiest military force in the | world, only" finally to be defeated, | dishonored, unwept, unmourned, a | sad, sorrowful spectacle, indeed. | Wishing you the compliments of | | the season, I remain | Sincerely yours, LOYAL CITIZEN.
