It would be consoling to know that Southern Ontario will not be faced with another embarrassing power shortage as last winter. Then the H.E.P.C. blamed water shortages at the generating stations as the basic cause. Now we are being told that the Stewartville development will be in operation by September and tha several smaller new devel- opments may be producing by the end of the year. But we are not being assured that there will be no power shortage next winter. Ontario industry and Ontario housewives would like to be told in plain language just what the pros- pects are. Power demands in Ontario are still soaring. *New fac- tories are being built and electrified. Electric stoves are being sold and put into use just as fast as they can be produced. "Rural extensions of hydro have been made this summer. All these items will use a lot of electricity. Will "they use so much next fall that the housewife will not be able to cook dinner on the electric stove? If there is a shortage, once again Oshawa, which is a very sizable user of electricity, will share equal hardships with those small consumers who could much more easily curtail their requirements. A National Asset When World War II ended, the national executive of the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association saw the neces- sity of keeping alive the flying club movement and of re- establishing the Canadian flying clubs which had made such a magnificent contribution to Canada's war effort through the successful operation of the 22 Elementary Flying Train- ing Schools in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. War was over, but the threat to world peace had not abatéd. Canada was on the threshold of great aviation development and her future needs for trained pilots and other civilian aviation personnel couldn't all be drawn from the ranks of war veterans, a .large percentage of whom would return to their normal peace-time pursuits. For na- tional security, a training program was needed to develop and maintain a large pool of young pilots. With these needs, the pre-war flying clubs set about peace-time opera- tions again and many new clubs were formed, Next week June 13 to 19, the 42 non-profit flying clubs which form the Royal Canadian Flying Club Association, of which the Ontario County Flying Club is one, are observ- ing National Flying Club Week. In pre-war years, the flying clubs, originally established in 1927 at the instigation and with the assistance of the Canadian Government, made important contributions to the development of civil aviation in Canada and played an im- portant role in national defence preparedness. The association of clubs has through the years pro- moted flying competitions, lectures, air meets and tours, doing a splendid educational work among the young people of Canada. Club flying training operations, across the country, have been of inestimable value in gaining public acceptance and support of aviation. This voluntary organ- ization continues to forge ahead providing, the youth of Canada with the opportunity and facilities for aviation edu- cation and flying training of the highest standard. Co-operating closely with the Air Cadet League of Canada and the R.C.A.F., the flying clubs have during the past two summers, carried out, with a perfect safety record, courses of pilot training for specially selected groups of Air Cadets. Early next month, the third R.C.AF. Scholar- ship Course of flying training for Air Cadets will begin at the flying clubs with a larger number participating than ever before. : To its great credit, the association of flying clubs has a deeper national interest and assumes a more important responsibility. Canada's pool of pilots, trained in the last war, is rapidly drying up, as by choice and perforce, these war-birds adopt other peace-time pursuits. Moreover, it will not be long before most World War II pilots will be too old for combat flying. The Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association feels that the present is not too soon to turn its attention to the training of a new group of young men whose services can be called upon for commercial flying operations and by the R.CAAF. in the event of emergency. With the slogan, "Keep Canadians Safe--Keep Flying," the National Flying Club Week campaign seeks to.awaken public thinking in respect to Canada's need for great air-manpower, necessary to preserve our security and assure this country a leading position in this, the air age. The flying clubs of Canada, now as in the past, assume their share of the responsibility for bringing aviation edu- cation and flying training to an increasingly greater propor- tion of Canada's young people and, at the same time, hold themselves ready to rapidly expand their training facilities "In the event of future emergency. ® Other Editors A TRAGIC SPECTACLE esos ++ (Ottawa Journal) .... .

A DESERVED GRANT (Cornwall Standard-Freeholder) Few will quarrel with the British Government's grant of $400,000, free of tax, to Air Commodore Frank Whittle, the man who put the Allies on top in the development of jet propulsion engines for air- craft in the late stages of the war. Commodore Whittle had not claim- ed a penny in royalties for his inventions or his work, on the ground he was serving as an of- ficer in the British forces. He could have made a fortune from private industry. BIG BUSINESS (Boston Post) The parking-meter business in the cities of the United States is fast getting into the realm of high finance. A new crop of 255,000 meters appeared on the streets of municipalities last year and the coin-machine parking custom is rapidly spreading with 1,600 cities, and towns so taxing the motorists, Meter revenues in 26 cities alone totalled $4,500,000. The idea has spread from smaller cities not only to towns, but the larger cities, with Boston, Cleveland and Los Angeles authorizing the meter use for the first time this year. Canada's Authors Rapped by Writer For 'Selling Short' Ottawa, June 12--(CP)-- Cana- dian authors have been selling Can- ada short, Merrill Denison, New York writer and former resident of Canada, last night told the 27th an- nial meeting of the Canadian Au- thors' Association, They were doing this by "making little or no attempt to establish the basis for Canadian identity by re- calling the heroic struggle of the past or by interpreting contempor- ary life as seen through Canadian eyes." Mr. Denison said he was not sug- gesting that Canadian authors be- come suddenly and self-consciously nationalistic. However, he wished they would "learm more about Can- ada and write about her out of your own experience." The complaint that American publishers were not interested in books with a Canadian background was not justified, Canadian writers had failed to make Canada and Canadians interesting. Two exceptions were "Two Soli- tudes," by Hugh McLerman, and "Who Has Seen the Wind?" by W. 0. Mitchell. Both had done much to foster a nationalistic feeling. "Both writers must have a great sense of satisfaction," Mr. Denison said. "They have contributed rich- ly to Canadian understanding and sense of belonging." Canadian authors could do Can- ada a great service by "rescuing her story from the provincial depart- ments of education and text book pedagogues," the speaker. said, re- collecting his school days in Toron- to. i He blamed the pedagogues less than the departments of education because they had to earn a living. "But between them they have in- flicted monstrous cruelty upon gen- erations of helpless Canadian children. What is worse they have made unbelievably wearsome a story that can be made continuously in- teresting and at times very excit- ing." To achieve interest historians should include more information about the United States and con- centrate less on the constitutional development after the conquest of Quebec, Mr, Denison said, Tree surgery dates back to the 16th century. .

GM and Oshawa As another neighbor of yours, GM of Canada takes a keen interest in all the activities of Oshawa citizens. Our citizenship includes a number of things: paying municipal taxes, paying them promptly, keeping our buildings and property in good shape -- a credit to the community, supporting Community Chest appeals, buying as many as possible of the things we need right here at home. GMs chief task as a citizen is main- taining high levels of production. This puts money in circulation in our own home town. Yes, GM believes in buying at home! GENERAL Mark of a Good Citizen Where does citizenship fit into a company like GM of Canada? As far as buying things we need and paying our taxes are concerned, we're just the same as your next-door neighbour. You see, we have to "feed" our assembly lines with car and truck components, glass, steel, rubber, to keep them alive and healthy. That costs money.
