DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for NOVEMBER 11,066 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1950 Faith In Oshawa Announcement that Loblaw Groceterias, Limited, have bought a large piece of prop- erty on the corner of King Street and Wilson Road North as a site for a Loblaw market to be erected there in the immediate future seems like the beginning of another develop- ment trend which may mean much to the future of the city. This site, at the present time, is on the boundary line between Osh- awa and East Whitby, but after January 1 it will be well within the limits of the city, and in a section which is likely to see con- siderable growth. It is interesting to speculate on what this can mean to Oshawa. When announcement was made of the purchase by General Motors of Canada of some 400 acres of land im- mediately southwest of the city, and that a huge warehouse building was to be erected there, it started thoughts of the develop- ment of a new industrial area in that sec- tion, which will also come into the city on January 1. As like begets like, so it is just possible that the decision of the Loblaw in- terests to build a store on the edge of the present Harmony section might be the be- ginning of the development of a new shop- ping area of many stores to serve the eastern section of the enlarged city of Osh- awa. When Oshawa's boundaries are extend- ed, the distances from the centre of the city to the new limits might well justify the growth of new shopping neighbourhoods ag the population increases. A firm of the magnitude of the Loblaw organization does not undertake expansion without full consideration of all the factors that are involved in operating a profitable business. Thus its decision to build a mar- ket in the east end of Oshawa indicates that itg studies have convinced it that this is an area which can be expected to develop rapidly. The company is giving a practical demonstration of its faith in the Oshawa of the future as a community which will make good use of its added territory for the creation of more new homes and greater business opportunities. Two Opposing Views The expression of two opposing views on the use of violence in the conduct of picket- ing during industrial strikes, arising out of a recent Windsor police court action against five pickets, is decidedly interesting. In sus- pending sentence on the five men, charged with wilful damage to vehicles endeavoring to pass through the picket line, Magistrate Hanrahan said the use of force in labor dis- putes is outmoded and cannot be tolerated. He enlarged upon this view when he said: "In this province it is now neither necessary nor fitting for labor to stand outside and throw rocks in a dispute between it and management. Labor occupies a place at th® bargaining table by right of reason, not by might or terrorism, It sits there with an economic and moral right firmly established by an enlightened leadership that has brought it by the orderly path of social respon- sibility to a stature no longer to be ignored or under-estimated. The necessity of picket lines therefore fades." That is the kind of statement with which one would expect labor leaders to be in hearty agreement, but it was not so. Eamon 'Park, public relations director of the United Steelworkers of America, and Russell Har- vey, AF. of L. organization director for Can- ada and a member of the Ontario Labor Re- 'lations Board, were quick to disagree with it, and to put forward the view that picketing might quite reasonably involve militant tac- tics. Said Mr. Harvey: "The development of legislation to reduce con- flict in labor-management disputes has not by any means resolved the possibility of outright clashes. The legislation at the moment brings the parties and encourages bargaining. But the of the trade union movement has not d one iota by the legislation." ight gather from Mr. Harvey's t he is not at all adverse to the ind violence in the operation of hich is not the stand 'one would expect from a man holding the posi- tion he does in labor relations matters. One would like to believe that violence and physi- cal strife in such matters belong to an archaic past, and that even when strikes do occur, as they are bound to do on occasions, such picketing as is necessary can_be con- ducted on an absolutely peaceful basis. Sunday Sport Setback Those who are interested in the promo- tion of commercialized and professional sport on Sunday cannot find much comfort in the results of voting on that question in Ontario Municipalities on Monday. Thir- teen municipalities, seven of them cities, four towns and three townships voted on Sunday sport by-laws. In only five of the thirteen, the city of Fort William, the towns of Essex and Capreol, and the townships of Sandwich West and Wolfe Island, were the by-laws favored by the voters. The list of municipalities which defeated Sunday sport by-laws was impressive. It consisted of the six cities of Guleph, Kitch- ener, Waterloo, Sault Ste Marie, Sudbury and Brockville, and the towns of Whitby and Cobourg. This represents a fair cross- section, on a small scale, of Ontario. At least fivesof the cities can be regarded as strongly sports-minded and with a large following for commercialized sports such as might -lend themselves to Sunday play. Yet all of them would have none of it, and voted to keep Sunday clear of invasion of its sanctity by activities purely commercial in their nature. . It may be that in municipalities that voted on the question earlier, and favored Sunday sports, there was a misconception of the present law and the purpose of the permis- sive legislation of the Ontario government. Now there is a much clearer understanding that the new law opens the way for sports which are purely professional and commer- cial in their nature, and is not necessary to permit great variety of sports carried on for recreational purposes only. Many peop e might enjoy recreational sports on Sunday, but have strong objections to games held merely for the purpose of making money. That is the factor which is now entering into votes on Sunday sports by-laws, and which has had much to do with their defeat in the municipalities mentioned. Editorial Notes Now that women have two representatives on the Oshawa Board of Education it would not be surprising, in another year, to find them entering a running-mate for Mrs. Bate- man for City Council. + + + Alderman Clifford Harman, who headed the polls in Monday's election, has done that so often that he can be regarded as the grandest old campaigner in Oshawa munici- pal circles. * + + Another cost-of-living increase in wages for General Motors workers is excellent proof of the value of the five-year agree- ment which was signed by the company and union last spring. + + * It was interesting that Chiang-Kai-Shek | should express the same view as we did in a recent editorial, and voice the fear that negotiations on Korea might result in an- other "Munich" decision. ® Other Editors' Views eo DOLLAR GROWING STRONGER (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) The Canadian dollar shows a steadily increasing value in the new free meorket. Time may not be far off when it will be at rar or above par with the Am- erican dollar. And what a shock for some people across the border who have been more or less casual in their supposition that Canadian money is inferior. ® A Bit of Verse o WHERE THE WINDS BLOW West wind, Where do you go?

You wrote: Today young people are much more anxious to secure their first job in the ranks of in- dustrial workers, rather than fh white collar jobs, because it is known that in organized industries they can earn far more than they could possibly do 4n an office, store or other place of business." | Then you added: 'This is a site | uation which calls for some ser= | ious thinking."

ALUMINUM HAS GROWN TO BE A LARGE PART OF CANADIAN LIVING st It is a recipe for a bigger, richer, more comfortable Canada. The "pinch" is scores of shiploads of the red earth -- bauxite --= from British Guiana. A three-thousand-mile ocean journey ends at Port Alfred on the Saguenay River. Then the bauxite goes by rail to the electrical "kitchen" at Arvida a few milcs away. There aluminum is refined from the bauxite by using electricity provided by harnessing the same Saguenay. You see, the Saguenay provides two essentials for making aluminum -- deep water for cargo ships and cataracts for power -- within a few miles of one another. Standing on the dock at Port Alfred, you see something unique. You watch freight cars filled with bauxite disappear over a hill and return with shining aluminum. The process of turning bauxite into aluminum has added Port Alfred and the city of Arvida to Canada's living space, and opened new opportunities for thousands of Canadians. of Alumi for Canadi Producers and P.
