JUNE 10,027 SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1949 A Commendable Task In today's issue of The Times-Gazette there appears an intensely interesting story from the facile pen of Col. Frank Chappell dealing with the history of the old Weslay- an Cemetery, in the northwest end of the city, which has now been transformed into the Pioneer Memorial Garden. This old cem- etery, the first burying ground established in the village of Oshawa, was the last rest- ing place of many who were notable in the early history of the community. Their names are memorialized in the group of cairns which now forms the central feature of the memorial garden. By a happy thought the idea was conceived of using the old tomb- stones to construct these cairns that the names of those who were burigd there in bygone days have been perpetuated. When one considers the unkept, unsightly condition into which this old cemetery had deterioriated, one realizes that those who have brought about the transformation to the beautiful memorial garden have com- pleted a commendable task. By removing the tombstones, grading and levelling the ground, and beautifying the area. a garden of which the city can be proud has been created. And because of its nature, it is truly a memorial to the pioneers who laid the foundation of the city of Oshawa. This was not accomplished without much hard and painstaking effort. The task of collating the names on the tombstones alone was a laborious one, and yet it was accom- plished. Great credit is due to the committee which was put in charge of the work of transforming the old cemetery, but above all the thanks of the community should go to George Ansley, who has borne the lion's share of the work and responsibility, and labored assiduously towards the completion of a worthwhile project. Lake Pollution It now appears as if we have been all wrong in suggesting that the civic board of health and other authorities should do some- | thing about cleaning up Oshawa's lake front and ending the pollution of the water there. *. According to an editorial in the Globe and Mail, dealing with similar conditions at the Toronto beaches, responsibility for enforce- ment of the anti-pollution statutes rests, not with the municipal authorities, but with the Provincial Department of Health, That is a rather interesting discovery. It has been suggested that lack of a sewage disposal plant in Oshawa is responsible for pollution of the waters of Lake Ontario for a mile on each side of the harbor. That be- Harkin, Montreal secretary of the. Union, who in a special article in the Montreal Standard, exposed the Seaman's strike as a creature of the Communist authorities at Moscow. Harkin declares that the C.S.U. is not in existence to serve the interests of the sea- man, but that it is run by Communists, whose orders come from Moscow, and- who have no compunction about using the sea- «men's organization to do Russia's dirty work of sabotaging Marshall Plan Aid to Europe and Britain. : One wonders how long we have to tolerate this Communist interference in the affairs of this or any other country. It is clear that Canadian seamen, loyal and hard-working citizens, have been badly duped by Commu- nists using them for their own nefarious ends. The actions of these Communists are certainly detrimental to the interests of the state. They are tantamount to sabotaging much of Canada's trade and commerce, and placing a severe stumbling block in the path of plans for European recovery, If there is not any law under which these traitors to Canada can be dealt with effec- tively, and their activities definitely halted, then it is the duty of government to see that such a law is passed. The time for pussy- footing with those who would destroy our economy and that of Britain is long past. It is now time for"action, Editorial Notes Life is speeding up everywhere : except in the movies. It used to take two reels to kill off a movie bandit.

RA RA + e Other Editors' Views eo NORCH STAR AIRCRAFT (Canadian Aviation) It is difficult to repair the damage of unfavorable publicity, no matter how unfair. This truth applies, unfortunately, to the North Star aircraft and Cana- dair Ltd., which were buffeted so severely in the hot winds of the recent federal election campaign. How- ever, the merits of the aircraft and the integrity of the company remain unshaken and before long the headline-reading public will have forgotten the con- troversy entirely. Actually, anyone acquainted with the facts knew that the charges against the North Star and its Merlin engines were hollow. An engine-airframe com- bination with an accident-free record of 2,400 Atlantic crosings, plus the nation-spanning dcmestic opera- tion, can't be very far- wrong. * * @ THE WHY OF NEWSPAPERS (Superior, Wisconsin, Telegram) A recent strike of newspaper delivery men in New York occasioned a survey to discover the people's Death LZ Can't Tie This --Russell, in The Los Angeles Times Close-Ups | Pr | By MEL SUFRIN Canadian Press Staff Writer and find his own constituents don't recognize him.

"I did not do it!" he shrilled. The truth machine shuddered all over and let fly a battery of whistles, bells, catcalls and gongs, while its dial registered "fib." Thousands of youngsters watch- ing the television show "Lucky Pup" giggled appreciatively and their parents, with sheepish grins, turned to the dinner they had postponed. Television experts say that more and more people are postponing dinner and deserting parties to keep a date with their favorite puppets and their laughable an- tics and wisecracks. Some become such fans they shower gifts on their favorites. Recently 15 doctors of a New York hospital signed a letter saying one television puppet show was a great therapeutic benefit both to their patients and to themselves. Puppet shows were just about dead as entertainment in this country till television gave them a boost. But they proved a natural for the small screen which reduces everything in size. Puppets do not suffer from that reduction as humans do, and can be fixed up any way a showman wishes with relatively low cost and few props. So today nearly every television station has at least one puppet show staged five times a week, some starring marionettes operated by strings, other featuring hand pup- pets, They differ from each other and from the traditional version. For one thing human biengs ap- pear on the screen with the pupets. Bob Smith not only appears in "Howdy Doody," but he also fills the peanut gallery in the studio with happy youngsters who likewise appear on the screen. Also, television strongly characterized. In Hope and Morey Bunin's show, "Lucky Pup," Foodini, the wicked magi- cian, and Pinhead, his little stooge, become almost as real to their fans as movie stars. They knit them sweaters and send them Valentines. Most of the shows use tricky new gadgets, such as a "truth detector," a "diamond expander," or a "flap- doodle" (a long tube which gives Howdy Doody anything he asks for). Adapting the centuries - old amusement to the bright new world of television gave the puppeteers and operators a hatful of head- aches. Hope and Morey Bunin, veterans of years of night club entertain- ment in the United States and Europe, say: "First, we had to puppets are England Reports Progress Toward Export Targets Shipping was the United Kinme dom export which in the second quarter of this year showed the big= gest increase on the year-end tar- get.

If the Provicial Department of Health were to take seriously its obligation to see that the lake is kept free from pollution. its only course could be to issue a mandatory order compelling Oshawa to build its sewage dis- posal plant forthwith. More than once it 'has been hinted that this might be done if the city authorities fail to take action on build- ing such a plant. It may be that the pollu- 'tion of the lake by the dumping of sewage into it close to the harbor and bathing beach, might provide the provincial department with the necessary reasons for issuing an order that, for the sake of public health, the sewage disposal plant be built without fur- ther delay. Time For Action A little over a year ago, Pat Sullivan, who had been president of the Canadian Sea- man's Union, created a sensation by resign ing and then exposing the organization ag being under the control of Communists. A week ago his example was followed by John the surprise of no one, that most people read the papers to find out what is going on in the world. Many find in them escape from personal boredom: them to provide controversial materials and others to follow the doings of society people. The investigators found that instead of becoming accustomed to the lack of newspapers, most individuals missed them more as time went on. Nothing can really take the place of .the newspa- per in the home. It is a daily record of the news and thought and business offerings of the day, there to be read or re-read at the convenience and desire of the individual. It touches life at many points, and serves many purposes.
