That is as it should be in an effort of this kind. Before the campaign opens officially, much will be told of the worthy objectives of this co- operative venture, and of the community activities of the organizations whose work is made possible by the public response to the appeal. > Community Chest campaigns have become part and parcel of the life of nearly all progressive communities in Canada today, and Oshawa has made for itself a mag- nificent reputation for its response to the annual appeals Which are made. If the enthusiasm which was apparent at the publicity dcemmittée meeting can be transmitted to the citizens of Oshawa as a whole, there can be no doubt as to the result. Community Builders The Kiwanis Club of Oshawa is deserving of the whole-hearted support of the people of the community in its Karnival which is being held tomorrow and Satur- day in the Oshawa Armouries. The Kiwanians of this city r-gig Ten who believe in patting their club motto "We Bui ito action, and they a splendid record of ac- tivities which are directed towards the building of strong and self-reliant citizens for this country. ; ; The many projects which are carried on by wise use of the funds raised in the aanual Karnival are too numer- ous to be given in detail, but the people of Oshawa are well-informed on such activities as the Kiwanis Camp, which provides healthful holiday periods for two groups of boys and two of girls each summer, The sponsorship of the Oshawa Sea Cadets, the assistance given to boys and girls club projects in the rural districts, the Ontario County tuberculosis survey, and the presentation of X-Ray equipment to the Oshawa General Hogpital are but a few of the worthy projects through which the Oshawa Kiwa- nis Club is helping to build a better community. The citizens of Oshawa who have allied themselves with this Kiwanis effort give unsparingly of their time and ability in the many club projects, and they are making a special effort to ensure the complete success of their Karnival. In this, they are deserving of the full support and co-operation of the citizens who by their attendance and patronage can provide the means whereby this splen- did community building work can continue. 3 An Unfortunate Decision It is the right of the people under a democratic sys- tem of gqvernment to nominate whom they please for public office whenever the opportunity is given to them, but there are times when the nomination of a "nuisance" candidate makes one have some misgivings as to the value of some of our democratic processes, An incident of this kind has arisen by the federal by-election in the consti- tuency of Algoma East, where the Hon. L. B. Pearson, newly appginted Minister of External Affairs, is seeking ion to the House of Commons, There the Social Credit and C.C.F, groups have nominated candidates to oppose Mr, Pearson in spite of the fact that the Progressive Conserva- tives, in view of Mr. Pearson's important post in the cabinet and his high qualifications for it, decided to forego a contest. This is clearly one case in which an election by ac- clamation would have done no-harm to the other parties, ... but would have been in the best interests of the Dom- inion. It is regrettable that, at so crucial a time in world history, in which Canada is involved, the Minister of External Affairs should have to devote his time to fighting an election campaign, instead of staying close to the heavy tasks of his office. T Editorial Notes Few people realize the extent to which federal taxbg are keeping up the cost of living. Probably the Pro- gressive-Conservative convention this week will enlight- en them. = + A Sunday School lesson summary points out that in the past ages, the home was the foundation of life in incient countries. That is still true today, although the modern tendency is to stay away from the foundation as much as possible. He ~ " | though regulations By HAROLY» DINGMAN * Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Sept. 30--A suspiclous- looking series of news items appears in the current issue © Canada Gazette, the official ®rgan of the federal government. A whole long list of appointments have been made to the permanent civil service, one job rating as high' as $6,900 per year. By various orders-in-council the positions were "created" and the men were appointed "without com- petition", meaning that they did not have to pass civil service ex- aminations. Although official approval, or, rather, the official announcement, has been held up until this late date in the year most of the ap- pointments are retroactive, some of them as far back as April 1. Party patronage? LO THE SILENT FORCE -- The carillon in the Peace Tower was ringing out Canada's national an- them the othd night. when a U.S. tourist car rolled up Parliament Hill. The lady-driver stopped before a scarlet-coated mounted police- man who was at rigid attention while the bells rang, The lady asked a question. The cop saluted her and said: "A mom- ent, please." Then he went back to attention to wait until the anthem was finished. The lady, asked a couple -of more questions, then drove off in a huff. Next day she complained to a Canadian citizen: "I thought the navy was the silent service, but that ape of a police- man wouldn't even answer my questions." * +H BAD NEWS--The CBC got a jolt of bad news last week. Its key sta- tion on the Dominion Network (CJBC) got a poor rating in a new Elliott-Haynes survey. This is simi- lar to the Hooper rating in the Us. CJBC has not enjoyed a really good name in the radio world since the station started. To improve its position the CBC forced a private station off a clear channel this summer and gave this favored posi- tion to the government station. The private station (CFRB) had to take the poor channel which was made vacant. The -Elliot-Haynes survey re vealed that the listening public had faithfully followed the private sta- tion to the new position on the dial. The CBC's seizure of the choice position brought no benefits to the government radio system, A NO RATIONS ABOARD -- Al- provide that such planes carry a two-week sup- ply of emergency food, the U.S. navy plane which crashed in northern Manitoba carried no such rations. There was nothing on the plane but a small packet of food and some chocolates. Before her husband was reported safe, one of the wives of the miss- ing men enquired at the Embassy-- Did the plane carry food? Yes, was the answer, enough for two weeks. But the day the five men crashed they had to get out and scrounge for supplies. The U.S. naval attache in Ottawa is likely to be put on the carpet for the oversight. bo ob SCOTSMAN'S SANITY -- A very distinguished person in the inter- national set in Canada's capital, during a serious conversation with a friend, said he soaked at least once or twice a week in a salt bath in his home. "It's the only way to keep sane,' 'he said, "living so far from the sea." Born in Scotland, this man in- sists that the only really sane people live near salt water. "You'll find," he said, "that in any city a thousand miles from the sea there's a high degree of insanity. That's what's that matter with Ottawa. And look at those poor fools in Moscow." . o A Bit of Versee A VISIT TO MY MOTHER I went to see my mother One fine September day. I've never found another Who at her age more gay, I spied her near the grape vine, A leaning on a hoe, Above her on the clothes line, The wash hung in a row. She turned and gave such a smile, To welcome me once more. The weeds she'd gathered in a pile, Outside the kitchen door. She took me to the kitchen, Where stood the cakes and pie, And OH! did they smell sweet And tasted lusciously. I left her standing by the door She smiled with brightening eye May I come back a many times Before the last goodbye, ~W. J. BROWN. ® A Bible Thought 'When He (Jesus): saw the multi- tudes, He was moved with compas- sion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

"Why, he's Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and a senior member of the cabinet," govern- ment spokesmen reply. Which is no reply at all, because the irrepressible former Chancellor of the Exchequer would never be content to lounge in the shelter of a portfolio more imposing in its name than in its duties. Perhaps the answer has come from the Conservative party. When Dalton resigned as Chancellor of the Exchequer last year, after ad- mitting he had told a reporter some budget' secrets before reading them to the Commons, some said his ambition to be a future Prime Minister had been defeated. But the Conservatives who sel- dom waste 'ammunition on a dead duck, have turned their heaviest guns on Dalton. Like many others, they probably suspect the Labor platform for the 1950 general elec- tion is being hammered together by the Eton schoolboy who turned professor of economics.and professes a socialism called "rabid" by his opponents. Astute Lord Woolton, "The house- wife's friend" when Prime Minister Churchill's food minister during the war and now Conservative party chairman, leads the assault on Dalton. "This Etonian Socialist who claims to represent the working people--this lecturer from the London School of Economics--be- came the financial pundit of the country," said Lord Woolton in a recent speech. " ,., . After he was sacked'\as Chancellor of the Exchequer he was rewarded with a new job, with less work to do, with shorter hours, and he demanded an increase of £2,000 ($8,000) a year over the standard rate for the job." "It is said that communism flourishes in chaos," wrote Clom Broganin in the Daily Telegraph. "That is less than half the truth. But quackery does flourish on chaos. If Sir Stafford Cripps (now Chancellor of the Exchequer) pro- duces the chaos, Mr. Dalton may be trusted to stand by with the quackery." EXTENSIVE AREA The Hawaiian Islands cover 6,454 square miles.

For those familiar with the situ- ation it was a moment of great drama when Foreign Minister Schu- erican solidarity in addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations in Paris. Schuman was bound to have in mind the economic'/and military weakness of his war-stricken coun- try. He couldn't forget that the communists have the largest single political party in France and have a powerful hold on labor, Clearly France must avoid war at all haz- ards within reason. And she mustn't assume any attitude which would seriously conflict with her funda- mental policy of not allowing Germany again to become capable of waging war. Yet Schuman threw down the man confirmed French-British-Am4 gauntlet to Russia, thereby enabling the three democracies to present a solid front at this dangerous mo- ment. Of this action the Times of London says Schuman left his hearers in no doubt of his govern- ment's determination to work for peace and a German settlement in every reasonable way, while re- sisting every pressure with which the Soviet Union has tried or may try to force -a decision on its own terms, And the London Daily Tele- graph points out that the French are uncomfortably near the Soviet armies of occupation and all too conscious of their own military weakness. The defence ministers of the five western European alliance powers --Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg--met in Paris last Monday. to discuss plans for co-ordinating their mili- tary resources. It was unofficially understood , later from British sources the' ministers discussed a program of joint action--even to the extent of mobilization--in the light of the tension over Berlin. They were said to have considered concrete measures in event the crisis developed into armed action. Impressive Effect There is a possibility, as this column pointed out Wednesday, that the U,N. may split over the Berlin imbroglio. However, I thinié. that will depend on the nature of the action taken by the UN. im' dealing with the charges of democracies. An effort to im heavy sanctions likely would resul in the communists walking 'out of. the "peace" organization. ) On the other hand the Russians are bound to consider carefully be- fore quitting, because membership: in the UN. gives .them a good chance for obstruction and for sounding off red propaganda.
