Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 8,005 AUGUST, 1948 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1948 Power For All Despite the nuisance and inconveniences it may oc- casion it is the obligation of every consumer of electrical energy in the Oshawa district to do everything possible to keep consumption within the quota which the Hydro Electric Power Commission has set for the local system. We do not propose here to go into the knotty question of who or what agency is to blame for the shortage of power. The fact remains that there is only so much power available and it is the duty of the local commission to see that it is not wasted. : i The Commission has set a good example by reducing the amount of energy used in its own buildings and has reduced the number of illuminated street lights and mov- ed to reduce the hours they are in operation. Appeals are being made to industry, commercial and residential con- sumers to reduce their consumption. We feel it is in the interests of all classifications of electrical users to do everything they can to comply with 'the Commission's appeal. It may mean inconvenience but it will be slight compared with the confusion which would result if no heed is taken by the public. The Commission has decided that it will take all possible steps to secure co-operation and failing that switches will be pulled, but only as a last resort. The Commission is unanimous in its decision consumption will be within the limit prescribed. Education Appreciated This week from the Pacific to the Atlantic the doors of Canadian universities swung open for the start of ano- ther year of academic endeavor. To these institutions of learning flock thousands of freshmen from the high schools, collegiates and preparatory schools some with the idea 4T having fun but the greater majority embued with the desire to fit themselves for their chosen careers. Numbered among the students will be quite a number of veterans of Canada's armed services. For many of them the war interrupted their studies while experiences of life aroused the desire in the hearts of others to improve them- selves so they would be better fitted for successful lives. In a few years all the war veterans will have gradua- ted. Many of them have already won their degrees. While some doubt was once felt of 'their ability to settle down after the nervous strain through which many of them pass- ed, that has been dispelled\by 'the high marks they ob- tained and their very low failure rate. They have been keen students who have shown appreciation of the value of a university education. . The diligence which war veterans have displayed in their university courses shows that contact with life brings enlightenment as regards the value of higher edu- cation. It is to be hoped that the new freshmen class will make as good use of their four years in college so the training they receive will pay rich dividends in later years. It is up to the individual to decide whether their years at university will be wasted. . Helpful Influence (St. Catharines Standard) From the Ontario Agricultural College each year are gent out many graduates, men and women who are better fitted to take a part in giving direction to the thought of the period than those who are just drifting through life, taking everything that comes without question, and without a thought that it could be made better. At the annual gather- ings of these graduates there are many hundreds, and they come from all parts to enjoy again the helping influence - that attach to the alma mater, loved and revered by all. The benefits of such gatherings are quickly realized, comments The Chatham Daily News. From that hub radi- ate many branches, each of which in turn exerts an influ- ence for good, with the result that the farmer for whom the 0.A.C. chiefly exists, is getting a wider and more prac- tical view of things 'as they are, and learning how to meet conditions more intelligently. Tackling every problem of life from several angles, to find the best way to do that which will be most advantageous to himself and of the greatest good to humanity. The farme today is blessed above those of half a century ago. The influence of the college is felt in the farthest corners of the province through its graduates, whose visions of life have been broadened by such courses of study as to make them master of circumstances. The college of agriculture is a real living force, not exclusively for the rural life of the province, but for every section, all of which contribute with the farmer to its main- tenance and efficiency. How best to serve is a big enough ideal, in which all should be privileged to share. That is the broad principle that should mark the Ontario Agricul- il College, and others, In broadening the intellectual 'of all who seek to benefit by association with them. the "Shiners."

Today Ottawa is all lost and wrapped in dignity, its rugged and boisterous days not even a memory among most of its society-conscious By HAROLYr DINGMAN ® A Bit of Verse Ottawa Correspond - Ottawa, Sept. 22--The way we hear it Gordon Graydon is to suc- ceed George Drew as Premier of Ontario if the latter wins the lead- ership of the Progressive Conserva- tive party on October 2nd. Gray- don has often been called upon to fill the role of trouble-shooter for his party, was House Leader from 1942 to 1945 when John Bracken was leader-at-large. If Drew should win he would tender 'his resignation as Premier of Ontario to the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor and recommend that Gray- don be asked to form a government. Almost simultaneously Graydon would have to be chosen leader of the Ontario party. Such a political deal would give Drew a sure seat in the House of Commons for, ' presumably, he would take the federal riding of Peel which Graydon has held for the past 13 years. Peel is regarded 2s among She safest seats in Cana- a, due to Graydon's organizi ability. y TEA Graydon himself might take the provincial riding of Peel in an. ar- rangement with T. L. Kennedy, aiario Minister of Agriculture, now in his 70th year. All this presupposes the defeat of John Diefenbaker in the leader- ship campaign, Right now there's a good deal of money heing wagers ed that Diefenbaker will win, leave ing George Drew in Ontario. RIOTS IN OTTAWA Within pistol-shot of Ottawa's main street a great mob surged back and fourth in one of the bloodiest riots in the town's his- tory, Skulls were cracked, stones flew and men on both sides were beaten almost to a pulp. The bat- tle lasted several hours. bi It all happened more than 100 years ago and as a result of that outburst Ottawa (then Bytown) lost its charter. In those days Ot- tawa's reputation as a tough town was so bad that the Governor General, Lord Elgin, wouldn't pay a visit until the local authorities were in stronger control. Men not only fought in groups, using guns, clubs, stones and fists, but they fought individually in terrible battles that the law was unable to stop. One day an Oran- geman got into a fight with a Catholic and lost. To avenge him- self the Orangeman later cut an ear off his opponent's horse. The Catholic thereupon almost killed the Orangeman with a cold chisel. But when the Orangeman recover- ed he cut off his opponent's ears with a jack-knife, ' No dull and tedious then, as now. On an election day far back in 1837 a Radical newspaper called upon all members of the Radical Party to defeat any person not of their own political faith, The en- suing riots were so bad that the farmers in the outlying districts of Ottawa marched into town in a body. They offered to place them- selves at the disposal of the magis- trates and quell all civil disturb- ances. The magistrates refused the offer, perhaps because they were timid. In those days Ottawa was a great logging town and the raftsmen, loggers, millworkers, etc., were as tough and as quarrelsome as a band of professional ruffians. The Irish immigrants were, for a time, the toughest of the lot and formed themselves into a society known as IWANIS ARNIVAL October 1-2 at the ARMOURIES arguments CHINESE BROCADE A lady in a sedan chair Is carried by two men whose hair Hangs dowg# In 'queues, They stop before A wayside temple with carved door And pyramid / roots that rise To meet the blue embroidered skies.

S547W BUS FARES ditor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: In reply to the statement by M. I. Fenwick, on page one of Yo Japer of September 22, concerning a Jroposed increase in hus fares, I Yith to point out, on behalf of the Oshawa Railway Employees' Union, at we are very much opposed to r. Fenwick's suggestion of can- celling the railway franchise and op- Oshawa as a pub. I would also like to know where Mr. Fenwick gets his figures to show that The Oshawa Railway "is a very profitable enfprprise". With regard to overcrowding of city buses, Osta- awa Railway buses are not over- crowded nearly as much as the street cars and buses of Toronto. As far as increased fares are con. cerned, we are definitely behind the company in this respect. As practically every other industry in town increases prices to compen- sate for increased wages, and T have yet to hear Mr. Fenwick put in any complaints against this, I do not see why he should make an excep- tion in this case. I will agree with him in one res- pect: we are very much opposed to a special "working-man's ticket"; I will alee agree with him that Ogh- wa Railway Company employees are not overpaid by any means; but I would like to ask Mr. Fenwick how he expects employees of The Oshawa Railway, to obtain higher wages when the company has not received any increase in fares since approxi- mately 1940. I would like to point out to Mr. Fenwick that we know for a fact that during the summer months there are buses run on several routes at a loss. I feel that if Mr. Fenwick looks after the steelworkers he will have all that he can handle without med- dling in the affairs of The Oshawa Railway.

The problem of recruits for the ministry was scheduled to be one of the first maters to be discussed. A finance committee report Wed- nesday recommended top 'priority be given "thg securing and training an adequate supply of recruits for full-time service." The council's treasurer, Rev. Vic- tor T. Mooney of oTronto said "We must help our theological candi- dates through." In his treasurer's report earlier, Dr. Mooney had said "many of our ministers are living in near pov- erty." The council heard from an-|. other source that "its ministerial salaries were higher during 1947 than any other time in the 23-year history of the United. Church. The council heard a stern warning Wednesday night that Communism can never be accepted by the church, a reiteration, with perhaps more emphasis, of what other lead= ing speakers had voiced earlier. Rev. Gordon A. Sisco, of Toronto, the church's General-Secretary said the church 'must press .on by peaceful means to seek solutions of our social and economic ills in the light of the Christian revelation." Communism must be rejected by Christianity for three reasons, he said: "Its materialistic determinism, its emphasis upon one class--the proletariat--and its redemption of man by mere historical processes." In one of the council's major ad= dresses, Dr. Sisco urged the 470 ministerial and lay commissioners here from across Canada and New= foundland to "press for social re= form . . . to raise their voice and the church's voice in protest where ever men are the victims of terror. . . Art denied such fundamental human rights as security against arbitrary arrest and whenever gov= ernments use torture to override men's consciences." ] PAPER MANUFACTURE Paper was made in England in 1492 for the first time. .
