Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 8,01 # JULY, 1948 TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1948 Value of Fall Fairs These hardy perennials, fall fairs, will soon be in full bloom, and it is very encouraging to note in the weekly press that the old slogan "bigger and better than ever," is still be- ing used in advertising. Two weeks ago The Times-Gazette published the dates for the fairs to be held in this and other districts not too far from Oshawa, during the months of August, Septem- ber and October, because we believe that they hold wide- spread interest. We believe that not only do these fairs promote and develop an interest in Canada's basic industry 7-- agriculture -- but more than any other organization we know of promote the community spirit. Fall fair grounds are friendly meeting places for old and young, bringing together the people of the rural and urban centres on one occasion, at least, during the year, The spirit of competition which one finds at these fairs deserves commendation and encouragement. It is considered a high honor to win a prize of even small value, and on fair grounds one finds many good losers. : The fairs are supported by municipal, provincial and county grants and gate receipts, and judging from reports presented at annual meetings of directors usually held in January they are well managed. Men and women give freely of their time and talent to further plans for each succeeding fair, and the enthusiasm usually found at such meetings is contagious and encouraging. Fall fairs in Ontario are a great institution. "May their usefulness never grow less. Russia May Enter : An official of the Soviet Union recently announced that the U.S.S.R. would enter a team in the 1952 Olympic Games if an invitation is extended. This still does not answer the question as to why Russia did not enter a team in the Games now being held in the British Isles. There are several answers which may or may not be close to the truth. It may be that Russia does not want to have her athletes, who no doubt have ordinary intelligence and powers of observation, go out of the country where they would see how the peoples of other nations live and conduct themselves when not subjected to restraint. It may well be Russia does not want her people to know anything about the outside world as it would be fatai to the Russian regime. It is significant that while 59 nations have sent some 6,000 athletes to the Olympic Games there has been no international squabble and those taking part adhered relig- iously to the oath they took on the opening day to observe the "true spirit of sportsmanship." By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa--Joseph Smallwood, small but peppery organizer of New- foundland's pro-confederation party, expects to be summoned to form the first government of the 10th province around April 1, 1949, ac- cording to reliable indications here. Before he left Otéawa after visit- ing the National Liberal convention Avith F. Gordon Bradley, K.C. his confederate running mate, he said that when Newfoundland enters Confederation shortly after next March 31, an interim caretaker government will have to be formed. He said that because of weather conditions and the difficulty of reaching remote sections of the is- land colony including Labrador, a provincial general election would be impossible before June. The Liberals, both during and af- ter the big convention, made un- ceasing attempts to align the two Newfoundlanders as the nucleus of party support in the colony. It looks very much as if they have suc- ceeded. the first Liberal provincial premier of Newfoundland, and Bradley, the first Newfoundland Liberal Cabinet Minister in Ottawa. In the meantime, the pair are going through the motions of ex- pressing polite interest in the other parties. Smallwood went out to the Ottawa district farm of retiring leader John Bracken following the wind-up of the Liberal convention. When asked what he went to see Mr. Bracken about, he replied with characteristic salty humor: "I was interested in seeing his horses." If the margarine ban is found by the Supreme Court to be unconsti- tutional, it will be merely a matter of weeks until the actual production of the butter substitute starts, ac- cording to experts here. Packing houses and manufactur- ers of shortening say they can con- vert in a few days to the production of the controversial spread. Ap- parently its just a matter of ad- justing the blades of the processing machinery and where shortening once came out, margarine will appear. One large Toronto concern which supplies most of the oils and fats from which Newfoundland margar- ine is made, is prepared to go into the production of margarine for Canadians within a few days, ac- cording to one report. According to legal experts, what ban on the importation of margarine will be found legal by the Supreme Court and allowed to stand. But the ban on the manufacture WITH- IN Canada probably will go by the boards. This will mean it will be the province in the end which will de- cide whether their respective citi- zens will eat margarine and not butter. This they could do by the imposition of such prohibitively high sales taxes that the manufac- ture of margarine within provinces who didn't want it could be effec- tively blocked.s The high court is likely to hear the margarine case around October and a verdict will be forthcoming by November. If the government doesn't decide to carry the case to the judicial committee of the Privy Council, Canadians may be eating margarine by January 1, 1949, Smallwood, its expected, will be is most likely to happen is that the' "Skeletons" Brett, in The Miami Herald CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT | "SOUL" was the subject of the | Lesson Sermon which was read in | all churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world including First Church of Christ, Scientist, 64 Colborne Street East, on Sun- ® A Bit of Verse THE MAD POET I did not will my body to .consign Unto this end buried in this place; Plucked from the garden of other men And planted midst this timeless race.

(Psalms I'd seen the dawn its awful glow 66:16) | A prophet's fire kindled to consume What Could Happen If War Came There's been an object lesson this Spring and Summer in how much more effective such a weapon could ke, employed against Canadian forests, particularly at a season of high hazard and if dropped in remote areas. . Obviously, Canada has less reason than eves before to be complacent about the pros- pect of another tragic outbreak of world strife. 100,000 Pilgrims At Quebec Shrine It seems to be pretty generally agreed that, in the event of another war, Canada would be a target ot the one obvious enemy. The only argument is on the score of to what extent that enemy could visit upon the Canadian homeland the devastation of which, in previous wars, those serving in far-off thea- tres of war were the only Cana- dians to have first-hand acquaint- ance. It is claimed, for instance, that for the foreseeable future distance precludes any heavy air attacks upon the major centres of Cana- dian industry and population, which could be reached only by one-way "suicide" flights of bombers. And these, it is argued, could be thinned out over the long course they must fly, perhaps to the extent where the defencses could handily dispose of most of those to win through, so that only superficial physical dam- age could be inflicted. LR It seems to have been generally overlooked, however, that a great deal of costly destruction could be inflicted uopn Canada by enemy bombers without their ever reaching any centres of population. A re- minder that this is the case that came the other day from Earl Shaw, forestry engineer of the In- ternational Paper Company, who said in a speech to the Westmount Rotary Club that Canadians could anticipate incendiary bombs be- ipg dropped upon their forests in the event of war. The idea is not new. Probably it was the purpose behind the paper balloons launched by the Japanese against the Pacific coast of the United States. Desperate make- shift as this Jap tactic would ap- pear, it seems now that in one or two cases it came very close to accomplishing its purpose of con- | siderable forest destruction and | consequent distraction of the home front effort. --A record crowd of 100,000 pilgrims today headed for the shrine of Ste.

British Branch Plants (Montreal Gazette) And Chemistry, symbolized by the oval trademark of C-I-L : i i t tect and Recent official declarations in London have opened the will continue to pro ect an | door, at least partially and practically, to the establishment | in Canada of branch plants or other auxiliary undertakings of industrial enterprises in the United Kingdom. Both the | British and Canadian Governments have evinced a readiness | to facilitate the launching of such branch operations, in particular through the release to a reasonable extent of dollar exchange resources required for such investment in this country. The widening of opportunities of this type at this par- ticular time would appear to have resulted in some measure | from the leadership and constructive suggestions which came from Premier George Drew of Ontario. While in Britain a few weeks ago, Mr. Drew sought to give a Aillip to the hitherto restricted movement of British industrial operations to Canada, in particular to his own province of Ontario. He advanced the proposal that many of such ventures could be financed by advance of the necessary dollars by Canadian insurance companies with interest in Britain. The acceptability of this suggestion, with collateral security being provided for such dollar loans by sterling assets of British parent firms, was endorsed in official British pronouncements on the subject. Premier Drew would thus seem to have chosen a propitious moment to take construc- . tive action which promises to initiate a welcome expansion i of Canadian industrial activity and perhaps also of export . sales, especially in the U.S. Similarly he and his Govern- . ment led the way in instituting the substantial and continu- Mg movement of British immigrants to this country.
