DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for APRIL 11,214 TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1950 Educating Tourists The Junior Chamber of Commerce of Osh- awa is this year again carrying on its praise- worthy activity of operating an information bureau for tourists. Plans for this year's operation of the bureau, are now complete, and by the time the active tourist season opens; the booth will be well equipped with essential literature and- manned to carry on an effective service. One commendable step being taken by the Junfor Chamber of Commerce in connection with its tourist information bureau is that of endeavoring to give to United States visitors something more than mere details of accommodation and services. It is undertak- ing to give them information about Canada as a nation and Canadians as a people. It has secured a large supply of a booklet en- titled "The Canadian" in which is reprinted an address delivered by W. Arthur Irwin, former editor of Maclean's Magazine, to the National Industrial Advertisers' Association at Buffalo last June. This address gave a remarkable effective analysis of Canada and the Canadian way of life, and 6f the people | who inhabit this country. No one can read it without being impressed by the importance of this nation, and the fine qualities of the. people who live in Canada. This type of education for tourists is much needed. Tourists coming from the United States have many misconceptions about this coutitry; They know little of its history, bick- ground and traditions -and still less of its people. For the most part, their chiéf in- terest lies in holiday resorts and good places for fishing. Through the distribution of this book- let, the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Oshawa is rendering a national service of importance, by helping to give visitors from the United States a thuch clearer conception of the significance of their neighbor to the north. Fire Losses Down It is gratifying to read in thé quarterly bulletin of the Ontario Fire Marshall, cover- ing the months of January, February and March, that there has been a very substanial decrease, as compared with 1949, in the num- ber of fires and the amount of fire loss in the Province of Ontario. In that three months period, the number of fires showed a de- crease of 31.5 per cent from last year's figure, while the total loss by fire was lower by 23 per cent. Satisfactory as it may be to note this decrease in fires and losses from fire, it is still a matter for regret that there were 3,460 fires in the province in the first thrée months of this year, involving a total loss of $4,785,249. That is a lot of money to go up in smoke, I¢ represents a complete eco- nomic loss to the province and country, as well as to the individuals whose properties were involved. Even more regrettable is the fact that 42 lives were lost in fires, seven- teen of the victims being children. These figures stress the necessity for eternal vigilance against the fire demon. The greatest single cause of fire was care- lessness in smoking; which caused 1,120 of tne 8,460 fires which occurred. Of other: causes, stoves and furnaces were responsible for 472 fires, defective electrical installations for 404, imperfect chimneys and flues for '161 and carelessness in the handling of matches for 148, There were 464 fires due to unknown causes. With 76.8 of the fires in which the cause was known attributed directly to the five causes listed above, it is not difficult to see in which directions greater care and caution are required to continue the downward trend of fires and fire losses. There should be a constant guard against carelessness in smok- ing, and against defects in electrical and heating installations, which are the chief allies of 'the fire demon in this province. Action on Gambling Spurred into action by what he termed the unsatisfactory result of a police in- vestigation in Windsor, Premier L. M. Frost has announced that the provincial police will conduet a thorough probe into gambling and vice throughout Ontario. This provincial police probe will take in the City of Windsor, but it will also extend to other areas, and will be carried on, in some sections in co- operation with the United States authorities in thé border areas. This announcement by Premier Frost is more than timely, It is overdue. The manner in which the Windsor police investigation was carried on was not such as to promote confidence in law. enforcement in that city. It certainly did not go to the root of the law- lessnéss in gambling which it was claimed was rampant in the border district. But | Windsor is not the only 'place where gam- bling establishments flourish and carry on their activities, Recently two places in Osh- awa were raided en suspicion of being used for gambling. The court cases in connection with these two raids, however, have not yet .| been completed, so no comment can'be made on them. From time to time, there is an upsurge of activity amongst members of the gambling fraternity throughout the province, and it is difficult in some instances for local police forces to deal with them adequately. It is often necessary to call in the assistance of police officers who are not known in the particloar community in order to secure evi- dence. From that standpoint, the instructions to the provincial police to take action to curb gambling through the provinee are welcome, and, if carried out fearlessly and without favor, should result in many undesirable activities being curtailed.

(Beek. 20:12.) - BIG 'BREAK' FOR CVILIZATION Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst John Foster Dulles, Republican adviser to the state 'department, says the capture of Hainan Island by the Chinese Communists calls for American action to keep the strategic island of Formosa out of réd hands. Why? Dulles doesn't amplify that but leaves us to figure it out. One obvious answer is that Formosa not only is Generalissino Chiang Kai- Shek's headquarters but is the seat of what is left of the Nationalist government--a castle with a ghost. It's about the last bit of Chinese soll Chiang has for refuge. But supposing the United States maintains the Nationalists on the island, what practical purpose will it serve? Does Chiang have a chance of retrieving his position and reconquering China? The Generalissimo main'ains that he still can turn the trick if he gets support. Here are some of the reasons: While the Communists ostensibly have "conquered" the vast main- land, the Nationalists claim that actually theré are many areas which still are in the hands of guerrillas who have no use for the Reds One estimate places the old Na- tionalist troops still in the Yangtze Valley at 200,000. Then there's another important aspect of the situation. It is es- sential that the Chinese Com- munists knock out the Nationalist government and military head- quarters on Formosa for ec-momic reasons. A Chinese Nationalist official tells me that it takes the tax on 30 peasants to keep one soldier going. He estimates that the Communists have more than 17. 000,000 troops under arms. If For- mosa can be knocked out, and the Generalissimo can be rendered helpl:ss, the Reds can demobilize and thereby cut the taxation which i8 so irksome to the Ohinese. In this connection the terrible famine which has been sweeping thé Yangtze Valley is harrassing the Red regime. Reports have it that millions aré facing death by starvation. Labor Wins By One Vote london, May 2 (AP)--The Labor government Monday night won a House of Commons ballot on & min- or 'issue by a single vote, beating back & surprise Conservative attack designed mainly to shake Labor prestige. Parliamentary observers said an adverse vote on such a minor issue --a Conservative proposal for a £1,- 000 ($3,100) appropriation cut-- probably would not have forced the govérfiment to resign. e¢ Commons, sitting as & com- mittee of the whole, cast a tie vote of 218-318 over the Conservative proposal to reduce the salaries of Teansport Minister Alfred Barnes and his assistants. The Labér com- mittee chairman, James Milner, broke the tie with a vote in the gov- ent's favor. me Minister Attlee's govern- ment already has lost one such vote on a minor motion since the Febru- ary general elections gave it a ma- Jotiy of fewer than 10 votés over the combined Consérvative and Liberal opposition. Labor has won nine test votes, most of them on or "issues of confidence," since the new Parliament met March 6. Though defeat of the motion Monday night would not have forced Labor out of office, it would have damaged the government's prestige seriously, observers sald. As a result, abor party leaders were éxpected to require even more regular attendance from Labor MPs at future House sessions. FOREST FIRES Halifax, May 2--(OP)--Rain fell in Nova Scotia Monday night ex- tinguishing several forest fires which breke out during the week- end.

B. Pearson, our external affairs minister is out of all resemblance to the work his department and our government in general are doing. Indeed, I often feel considerable shame that my country is making such an insignificant contribution to the healing of the economic and social ills which plague so many of the peoples of the world. One of the reasons why I fought so hard to re-elect our C.C.F. mem- ber in the last election and why I was so disappointed to see the Lib- erals reinstated again so trenchant- ly, was the unimpressive record of the past 30 years of failure to see our ability to assist and responsibi- lity for the less-fortunately situa- ted countries of the world, Now the devil teaches us chivalry; Commu- nism forces us to act. I wonder if we will do enough, soon enough, and with a wholesome spirit? I would like to point out somé disquieting indications of our gov- ernment's inadequate policies: ( 1) While the Canadian people have shown fine spirit in voluntary gifts to Britain, our government has proven extremely antagonistic to the Labor government. The one thing we did, extending a billion and a half credit, worked mainly to our bene- fit because it was only to bé spent in Canada and remov- al of price ceilings reduced the purchasing power of the loan. Canadian and United States financial interest® alone forced Britain to devalue the pound, thus enforcing in- creased hardship, India now, displaying a bet-q ter Commonwealth spirit, re- | fuses to buy Canadian wheat despite their great need, to save Canadian dollars for the sterling area. Canada could have been ac- cepting sterling and capital- izing in India, Africa and other British territories to the great benefit of Hy peoples. Now we're going to apply anti-dumping tariffs against Britain's chief export, and and than on a trumped-up charge. () Pearson now suggests "we may have to keep out com- peting imports from other countries," purportedly to help British imports, but factually to protect Cana- dian big business. Both Mr. 8t. Laurent and Mr. Pearson are insistent on intensely close economic ties with United States despite our persistent unfavourable balance of trade and the hopeless agricultural mark- et conditions there. United States' éontrol over our economy is alréady ex- treme, yet In this last year we have given over to Am- erican capital, our two new resources, oll aid iron mines. Our government's policies are keeping us in the primary products export trade. We sell our pulp wood, lumber, iron ore, 'asbestos and cattle to the US, so that they, can revel in the enjoyment of the finished Jruduets Our largest items of trade with China since the war was armaments, to help suse tain a devilishly reactionary, corrupt government, We refuse to accept Japan- ese ald Cechoslovakian goods on our markets ards can undersell Canadian and American goods. 'The obvious solution here is government bulk - Barter trade. But the Liberals in- sist on letting private, im- porters rick and pike at whatever is financially safe and let the nation's interests go wanting. Our government is ominous- ly silent concerning our as- sistance of the small natiords of the world. W¢ can only conclude that they are do- ing nothing. 1 otis think, how despondent the 'UN. delegates of impovershed cowitries must feel as they return home, having seen no evidence of our country's professed good-will ami benevolence.

L the a ON a Remember the Sabbath Dy] -- To Keep It Holy Contributed by EDWARD J. LEWIS Claremont, Ontario Perhaps one of the foremost questions of the present day is the question of Sunday sports. Is it, or is it not proper and law- ful to indulge in sports -- either emateur or professional --on the Bdbbath or Sunday? Argumerits have been ig forth pro-and-con cencerning it Not the least, by any means, smong these arguments, is the argument concerning just what day should be designited as, and he as the Sabbath. There are thosé who vow and declare that the Seventh day should be held, and to them the day which we now know as Saturday is the Sabbath, Otners argue and declare that the First day of the week, or Sun- day as we know it, should be the day held and kept. With these two arguments before us, we decided to do a little study- ing and probing ourselves. Accord- |¥ ingly we opened up that Book which we accept as, and hold to be the Infallible Word of God. Against this Word, and contrary to this Word there is -- nor can there ever be--any argument. God had the first word and God, the Judge, will have the last word --to wit, Acts 17: 31: "Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world." In the 3nd chapter of Genesis and the 3rd verse we réad this: "And God blessed the Séventh day and Sanctified it." In other words God 1d been brought out lh 3 £ "Then I contended "with nobles of Judah, and said sham, what evi tusg | is this ye and profane "bid not your fathers a, did not our God upon us, and upon this A ye bring 'tore wrath Ath an ad) or afin ihe abe erintiis from the or of Norley, portrays ite us what might he termed ¢ open Sunday, and 4 Wy risulty * perhars the arom h rhaps 3 is us . 3a desire wa hlsy Be, E that sports no ing the hours of of mi ty escaped the eye and the devout, igs Christian, | he or she knows 11 well Livee 's only & beginnin a --the ot the wedge -- and thit of sport will gredvilly' be éxténded and od whole Fix] Bi) be tiken sports, and thé spiritusl side life of the individual wilt ne i ed out completely.

Personally, I om i He 2 Es yo blessed the Seventh day, and set it og spo apart, for to sanctify means to set apart for a specific purpose or plan. This Sabbath, which God blessed and sanctified in the begining, was observed and képt-- or pro- |b, Eo faned -- along and down through | ftern the Old Testament times, for the simple reason that during the periad | 68 which - Old Testament writings cover, the people geneérally were living under the law, and God had definitely sét apart the Seventh day for rest. When Jesus Christ died and ros: again this period of law, sometimes referred to as the Mosaic Law, was broken for in Romans 10:4 we réad: "For Christ is the end of the lew for righteousness to every one that believeth." After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the early disciples began assembling themselves together far prayer and thanksgiving unto God for the glorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and as time went on this became a custom. This, then, is the reason why the Sab- bath was changed from the sevénth day of the week to the first day of the wéek, or Sunday, as wé khow it today and Christians everywhere, the world over, today assemble themselvés together on the first day, Sunday, or the Lord's day, as it is sometimes referred to, for worship, prayer, praise and thanks- glving to our Heavenly Father for the death and Glorious Resurrec- tion of His Son our Loyd Jésus Christ. There is nothing new in this hullabaloo for Sunday sports. From the early days of Biblical listory unt{: the present day the Jord's day has been profaned. The 20th chapter of Ezekiel, verses 12-16, gives us a cléar in- sight into this very thing. Here we have God speaking to the prophet Faekiel and reviewing the life and {Tuneyine of the Children of "Moreover," saith God in the 12th verse, "also I gave thém my Sab- Bh Xo be too tired to church at night, Possibly, excuse, for. not a! fhe mo will bé that os he ao rod for the game a Sunday Wo LE (s0 alle fidment of Oniarie, held in some | Canada.

Before passing along and getting away from the topic of the profan- ation of the Sabbath, let us look at just one more portion of scripture touching on this subject. Found in the Book of Nehemiah, chapter 13; verses 15-18, we read ss follows! "In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and la asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and 4, Entertainment--Thé movies and : dance halls dre favorite tevh-age' haunts. 41 per cent &ald they "f réad books." 5.
