DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for APRIL 11,214 MONDAY, MAY 1, 1950 The Times te is 8 the Canadian Daily Congratulations Oshawa's Industrial Fair has come and gone. By any standard of judgment, it was an outstanding success, and a venture which is well worth repeating in future years. It fully justified the expectations of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce when they first broached the plans which came to fruition in the splendid showing made at the Arena on Friday and Saturday. The displays of Oshawa-made products from our local industries were worthy of the highest commendation. They went to great lengths, and spent a considerable amount of money in setting up exhibits of the wide variety of articles produced in the city. Mingling with the crowd at the Fair, we sens- 'ed an atmosphere of surprise and. gratifi- cation at the great diversity of the products of the city's industries. The people who were there in their thousands were not present merely out of curiosity. They were genuinely interested in the goods on exhibition, and the representatives present in the booths were quick to show their appreciation of that keen interest on the part of the public. The number of people attending was sur- prisingly large, and this public response made its sponsors feel that all the time and effort put into organizing the venture were well worthwhile. The officers and members of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce are to be congratulated on the success of the Industrial Fair. They showed commendable initiative and enterprise in promoting it; they displayed great energy in its organization, and their reward came in the excellent co-operation of the exhibitors and the wide measure of public acceptance with which their venture was received. Tourist Service Week This week, May 1 to May 8, the Canadian Tourist Association is sponsoring a National Tourist Service Week. In view of the im- portance of the tourist trade to Canada, first in giving stimulus to many kinds of business, even to the consumption of surplus farm products, and secondly, in bringing to this country many millions of much-needed American dollars, the purpose behind the sponsorship of this special week is note- worthy. The appeal of National Tourist Service Week is not directed to prospective tourists. It is not an effort to attract more tourists to Canada by the publicity it will engender. It is intended to ensure that when they do come to this country, visitors from the United States will be so treated that they will want to come back again and again, and to tell their friends about the wonderful holi- day they spent in Canada, Chief essentials in making a Canadian holiday a satisfying experience for a tourist are that accommodation be of the very best and provided at reasonable changes, that food be of the finest quality, properly prepar- ed, and at fair prices, plus an all-out effort on the part of all who come in contact with tourists to make them feel.that they are welcome. Ordinary courtesy and kindly con- sideration from Canadians can go a long way towards making tourists feel that this is a good country to visit, And the rewards will come in increased business, and in develop- ment of trade which is highly beneficial to this country. In the present condition of world affairs, nothing can be more important than an in- creasing measure of friendship and good neighborliness between the people of Canada and the United States. By carrying out the objectives of National Tourist Service Week, ~ Canadians can make a great contribution to- wards maintaining that kind of relationship 'oetween the two countries. ira4d Regimental Exchanges Speaking at the annual dinner of the Ser- geants' Mess of the Ontario Regiment the other night, Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, former commanding officer of the regiment, threw out an interesting suggestion. He suggested that arrangements might be made for an ex- change of officers and non-commissioned officers, for a period of a few months, be- tween Canadian regiments and the famous British units with which many of them are affiliated. In the case of the Ontario Regi- ment, he suggested an exchange with the Welch Regiment, with which it is affiliated. From the standpoint of promoting effi- ciency, and of weaving together the tra- ditions of the Canadian and British regi- ments, the idea has much merit. The Cana- dian officers and N.C.0.'s would gain much by spending a few months in training with their British counterparts. On the other hand, the Britishers coming here on ex- change would gain a great deal by their as- sociation with the Canadian regiments, and would also contribute much to their training. It is doubtful, however, whether Col. Smith's suggestion could be worked out on a practical basis. The Canadian regiments in- volved are, in time of peace, reserve army units, made up of men who carry on their regular work and business, but devote their leisure time, in evenings and at camp time in the summer, to their military training. They are not regular army soldiers, or pro- fessional soldiers, as are those in the active units of the British regiments with which they are affiliated. Going to Britain on an exchange basis would mean that those in- volved would have to give up their regular employment for several months to do so, and that would not be practical in very many cases, So while Col. Smith's idea is a highly ideal- istic one, it is not likely that it could be translated into terms of practical accomplish- ment, .

For two or three decades the "good roads" movement was an effort to extend the amenities of pavement beyond the outskirts of towns and to weave the concrete or asphalt threads into some kind of network. Now the picture of highway needs has changed. Nearly 6,000 miles of the 38,000 miles of highways designated as key interstate roads in the United States lie within the boundaries of cities and- towns. And the American Municipal Association reports that more than half of this 6,000 miles is in need of repair or rebuilding. ® A Bit of Verse o OVERRATED SPRING 1 think that spring is highly overrated: Who cares if waxwings sway the apple tree?

(Editor's Note: This column is presented as an indication of American opinion on major world events), By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The British Labor government's fight for life, with a bare majority of five votes over its combined op- position in the House of Commons, is about as much of a nerve strain for allied onlookers as for the par- ticipants. It's like watching an acrobat risk his neck on the flying trapese. Britain is the key European coun- try in the Western World's program on defence against Communist ag- gression. Thus the strength and stability of her government are mat- ters of moment for her allies. One hastens to add that there is no reason to suppose the three par- ties . (Labor, Conservative and Lib- eral) wouldn't stand shoulder to shoulder in a national emergency. Britain has demonstrated that characteristic too often to leave room for doubt. However, a govern- ment which is dealing with great international issues, as well as a domestic economic crisis, needs freedom from political harass- ment. Twice last week the government squeezed through to victory on two issues with margins of only five votes in each case, The Times of London (independ- ent with Conservative leanjngs) said this drama "could not disguise the unsatisfactory and even ridicu- lous state of affairs in which sud- den illness or a heavy snowstorm might bring about the downfall of His Majesty's government." Of course former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, leader of the Conservative opposition, must be expected to bait the Socialist gov- ernment up to a point. The Gom- mons. is a fine political sounding- board. Still, there are close observers who doubt that Churchill really would like to see the government brought down now. That would mean another general election. The fact remains, "though, that the life of the present government can hardly be long. Some observers think it might last until October when it is due to name the board which will su- pervise the nationalization of the great steel industry. This is a highly-controversial issue and the Socialist regime might fall over it. 'Cancer Experts To Exchange New Methods Leading cancer research sclen- tists from many countries will con- vene in Paris in July to review de- velopments in the war on cancer and the strengthen the machinery for international co-operation in cancer research, Professor A. Lacassagne of the Radium Institute, University of Paris, will preside at the sessions. He is world famous for his work on the relationship between tumours and sex hormones, Papers will be read on almost every aspect of clinical and funda- mental research by outstandnig scientists and these will be discuss- ed by representatives from 40 na- tions. Dr, Murray Barr, University of Western Ontario, London, On- tario, and Dr. R. W. Begg, Dal- housie University, Halifax, N.S, are among those who will present pa- pers, Ethlyn Trapp, Vancouver, B.C, and Dr. L. C, Simard, Mon- treal, will be two of the Canadian representatives attending the Con- gress. Dr. O. H, Warwick, Executive Director of the National Cancer In- stitute, will represent that body. The last Congress was held in St. Louis, Missouri, in September, 1947. That was the first Congress since the war and it provided the means of re-establishing contacts between international cancer research sci- entists, broken by the war, as well as permitting a review of de- velopments in the war years. Many of the Canadian scientists are being supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute, and part of the funds collected during the April campaign of the Cana- dian Cancer Society will be de- voted to the extension of research projects.

All Rights Reserved Plan to Teach Conservation In Schools Toronto, May 1--(CP)--Conserva- tion will be taught in Ontario schools next term and teachers will get an opportunity this summer to prepare themselves for the job. One of the courses at summer schools for teachers will cover con- servation and the related subject of map-reading. The new course follows the an- nouncement by Education Minister Porter that the proper use and con- servation of natural' resources of forest, farm and water supply would be taught to students in future. He emphasized at the time that conservation was of pressing importance in the economy. Summer courses, attended by young teachers seeking permanent first class certificates, will be held at such places as Toronto, London, North Bay, F #t Arthur, Queen's University, Kingston, and Ontario Agrieultural College at Guelph, Their numbers dwindle but the The 31st en- in- | nual reunion of the 18th Battalion | Association will 'take place in To- ronto this year on May 20th and 21st.

On Sunday, May 21, there will be a Church parade to Metropoli- tan United Church where The Very Reverend Peter Brice will conduct the service and Squadron Leader The Rev. Wm. Surman, Padre of the Toronto and District Branch, will preach the sermon. Remembrance Day Service will be held at the Cenotaph at noon on Sunday with the salute taken by the Honorary President, Lieu- tenant-Colonel J, G. Ingram of London, Ontario.

Plan "One-Sided" Shopping Centres London -- (CP) -- London County Council will experiment in building neighborhood shopping centres all on one side of the street. The idea is to cut down on traffic accidents. The council, governing body for greater London, has chosen Dept- ford as "guinea-pig" fur the ex- periments.
