Authortzed as Second Class Matter, Post Office Net Paid Circulation Avetage Por Issue 8,1 4 4 H, 1948 THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1948 Toll of Carelessness One of the great agencies with its sights trained on 'the removal of hazards in industrial 'plants arid the educa- tion of workers in care and accident prevention methods, the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations held their annual meeting in Toronto this week. Despite the fact that the Ontario I.A.P.A. have spent $5,000,000 since 1915 to prevent aceidents, the toll still continues at a discouraging rate. Reports presented at this week's meetings show that more than a death a day-- 12,874 fatalities--have occurred in Ontario industry during the past 33 years.. During the same time 2,382,392 people were hurt in factories, mines and lumber camps in. the province. This does not take into account the large number who bandaged their own injuries, or who were attended by company nurses or fellow employees with first aid 'kits. In direct and indirect costs, accidents cost Ontario industry--and Ontario 'consumers--$85,000,000 last. year. Canadian consumers paid $220,000,000 for industrial acci- dents in 1947. On the same accepted statistical basis, man- ufacturing accidents cost in Ontario $1.1 billion since Jan- uary 1, 1915. During. 1947 Canada's eight provincial | Workmen's Compensation Boards paid $55 million to injured workmen or their dependents, all from assessments paid by Canadian employers. Ontario paid $17.6 million in compensation. These figures: clearly indicate that there is room for great improvement in the attitude of workers toward acci- dents. They must always be on the. alert and take the position that an accident is liable to. occur at any moment. Only by so doing will they banish careless habits and in turn reduce the number and toll of accidents. Missed A Bet . Ever sipce the Oshawa Generals started to go places in Ontario and Dominion competitions, Oshawa hockey fans have prided themselves on their hockey knowledge and the devotion they have accorded their favorite winter pastime. It seems to us, however, that the majority of them passed up the best series of the season when they failed to attend the two games between Georgetown and Dolbeau played here on Saturday and Monday nights, Unlike the O.H.A. Junior "A" games played here during the past winter, both games were remarkably cleanly played. Both clubs concentrated on the puck and there was a pleas- ing absence of slashing, charging and boarding which char- acterized every game played by the: juniors. Hockey was always in the minds of the players and the way they passed _ the puck around unselfishly was a picture to watch. Looking back on the series, our one hope; is that some of the Q.H.A. executives and our Junior "A" players took time out to see the games. They were an example of how crowd pleasing hockey can be if the players stick to their knitting and forget petty acts which injure-the play of a team. 'The pattern plays of both teams as well as the work of the goalies was outstanding. The local juniors definitely could have learned somethirig of 'lasting benefit to them- selves. Good Seed Important In planning for the important need of maximum pro- duction of grain, good plump seed of a favourable variety should be the main consideration, says R. E. Goodin, field- man of the Ontario Department of Agricuiture. Seeds have four elements, Mr. Goodin points out--the overing to protect the germ which is 'a miniature plant, about it a covering of plant food to nourish the germ when it sprouts and about the plant food a ferment which, when the seed is. brought in contact with moisture, heat and air, dissolves the plant food, making it available 'to the germ or embryo, causing it to sprout and grow. ' Therefore it is quite apparent why. "plump" grain is advisable for seeding. In these well-developed kernels. there is a better supply of plant food, the germ is given a more vigorous start and produces a hardier plant. First tonsideration, therefore, should be to have live germs in: Seed grain. A farmer may have a crop that fafls to measure up to what it should be and the reasons may be many and varied. He might not have the power or help to care properly for the crop.. The weather might be unfavourable. a farmer has a crop failure because he sowed poor seed, he alone is to blame and'the result can scarcely be excused. His own inferior grain may be used as feed and any addi- tional cost of good seed is only trifling compared to the loss he is deliberately inviting when he used poor seed grain. - Seeds are the means of propagating plant life. To atcomplish this, they have to grow into plants, consequently. the seeds that will grow, most vigarously. are % best to sow. * But when' By AAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, April 22--Mr. Abbott was outsmarted by the Communists. fast week; or, to be more decurate, Mr. Abbott outsmarted himself. cards badly when the housewives called on him. Mr, would hav: played -them differently. Fhe Old Maestro long ago learned -how to. deal with these embarrassing moments and Mr. King would have received the housewives and treated them politely and sent them home with a. minimum of fanfare. Mr. Abbott peremptorily rejected the request for an. audience. Mr, Abbott could not resist the tempta- tion to strike out hard and fast at' the Communists, who, he said, were using the housewives organi- zation to spread their propaganda. Mr, Abbott was wildly cheered in the House of Commons for his firm stand. He was. wildly. cheered by . the Communists, too. It was exactly what they wanted. They counted on Mr, Abbott's. hostile attitude and were profoundly. relieved when he refused to 'see them in. his "office or in the Railyay Committee Room or anywhere el The oy itatster lit the fuse and for four days the Communist. firecrackers . exploded. The Cana- dian Press filed: thousands and thousands of words. on the house- wives' antics' on Parliament Hill. Every special correspondent' in the Gallery telegraphed stories to his home paper. The. London Daily Ex- press went wild over the story and ordered a 600-word special from its Ottawa man. The 'Reuters News Agency man in Ottawa cabled the story. The Associated Press 'carried its own story. For the Communists it was a wonderful four-day period. The housewives made page one in al- most every daily newspaper in Can. ada. What would have happened had Mr.. Abbott received the 'house- wives' delegation? From a propaganda point of view the story would have been dead in 12 hours. The evening aews- papers would have carried a story saying the housewives had present- ed thelr petition and a few leaders had made speeches, Then the morn- ing papers would have wound up the story with Mr. Abbott's reply. The' housewives would have gone home and it would have been all ended. After all, the housewives had a legitimate complaint, - They were complaining about high prices. Who isn't? I'll bet five to one that Mus. Abbott has complained about high prices, too. No one doubts the Communists helped organize the mass demoa- stration on Parliament Hill. For- Sunately for the Communists a visiting prince was arriving -on Par- liament Hill the same day. 'Mr, Abbott could have played it smart. He was angry with the Commuaists and when a. man is angry he doesn't play good poker or good politics. The Finance Minister could have received the housewives last Thurs- day and had them packed off home by Friday, noon. The ce of Belgium wasn't due to arrive until Friday after- nooa. When he did arrive he found 20 or more Canadian housewives.) out of their own Parliament Build- ings, and, the prince was admitted. The women had to stand ia a cold rain while' royalty entered. Mr. Abbott did no service to Can- ada when he played into Red hands, He could have received the house- wives politely, received : their "y tion" and placed it on the tal table. Parliament. After that he could have' said: "I know who seht you here, .the. Communists." It would have been just ag effective and the housewives would . have dispersed. Instead, they put.on a citreus that lasted four days and received world-wide attention. ¢ A Bible Thought Live for self-- You live in vain; Live for * You live again. : Paul sald, "To me to Jivei Shuist, and to dle is gain." py "guests may secure meals at the Jefferson, 'The Finance Minister played his| Berlin Big Push Bruce 'Russell, Los piri Times ® s Other Editors MARKING UP--AND DOWN (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) Finland has obtained some "con- cessions" in its new treaty with Russia, Probably like those of the old time plan of marking prices up to allow for a later marking down. <3 KICKED UPSTAIRS (St. Thomas Times-oJurnal) How a man so unpopular as John L.
