DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for DECEMBER 11,120 FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1951 bul. 4 e im Racial Discrimination At its meeting on Monday evening, the Oshawa City Council passed a resolution urg- -ing the provincial government to enact fair " employment practices legislation aimed at outlawing discrimination in employment. The legislation asked for is intended to ban refusal of employment to individuals because of their race, religion, color or ancestry. In passing this olution, the Oshawa City Council followed the example of many other bodies which have made the same request to the government of Ontario. There is a great deal of merit behind the proposal that race or religion should not be a barrier to the employment of any individ- ual in Candda. This is particularly true at a time when we have in our midst many thousands of people of diverse races and re- ligions, brought here as former displaced per- sons, and when an effort is being made to induce many thousands more to migrate to this country. There is nothing new about legislation of this character. Last year, the Ontario gov- ernment passed two measures directed against racial discrimination. One made void all future clauses in property deeds intended to restrict ownership or occupation of prop- erty on grounds of race, religion, color or ancestry. The other rendered null and void any umion contract which discriminates against any person because of 'his race or creed. The present proposals would extend that same principle into the field of em- ployment. Since the application of racial discrimin- ation strikes at an individual's elementary right to earn a living and improve his lot, and might be a barrier to the progress of 'newcomers with undoubted talents from making progress in this country, it should have no place in our democratic way of life. In view of what it has already done to re- move such barriers in other fields, there should be no objection on the part of the provincial government to pass the legislation removing them in regard to employment. Opportunities In Canada The business history of Canada records many success stories of men who have start- .ed at the bottom of the ladder and have risen to places of eminence and importance in the life of this country. These stories do 'not all belong to what have often been re- ferred to as the "good old days" of the past. 'They are still happening, and they point to the fact that Canada is still a land of op- portunity for young people of ambitiun and .ability who have the urge to succeed. Striking instances of this are to be found in the story of two men who have risen to the highest positions in the Bank of Toronto, James L. Carson, past president and chair- man of the Board, and B. S. Vanstone, the new president. Both of these men rose from 'lowly beginnings to the top positions in the bank in whose service they spent practicall all of their working lives. . James L. Carson came to Canada from Scotland as an immigrant youth in 1905, and joined the Montreal Branch of the Bank of Toronto as a' junior. The story of his career is a real success story. By 1922 he was mapager of the Montreal Branch of the Bank. In 1938 he was appointed assistant general manager, and later advanced to gen- eral manager and then president. Mr.. Vanstone's story is very similar, but is that of a young Canadian who also found opportunities for success in his own cbuntry. Born at Tyrone, not far from Oshawa, he spent six years in a branch bank office in his home village, and then in 1906 joined the Bank of Toronto head office staff in Toronto as a junior. In 1911 he became an inspector and in 1934 was appointed chief supervisor of Eastern branches. He became general manager in 1942, director and vice- 'president in 1948, and has now assumed the presidency of the bank. i The stories of the success of these two 'men, who found and topk advantage of op- $n 4 portunities offered to them, should be an in- spiration to young Canadians. It should prove that there are still advancement possibilitiés in this country, and that all the success stories do not emanate from the United States. As a young land, with its greatest development still in. the future, the years ahead should offer even greater opportuni- ties for our young men than have the years that have passed. They Gave Their All The news that 34 Salvation Army person- nel have lost their lives in the Korean war, and that the territorial leader, Commissioner Herbert Lord, is missing, gives prominence to the work which is being done, at great sacrifice, by this organization in spreading the gospel of Christianity in far-away places. These 34 Salvationists, at their posts in the war zone lost their lives in raids, shelling and other accompaniments of the war in Korea. They truly gave their all in the ser- vice of their Master. The Salvation Army, in Korea as in many other fields where there is human need for both spiritual and material uplift, has ren- dered a great and sacrificial service. Throughout the war in Korea, its officers have continued to care for people in hos- pital and the sick and needy. They had to abandon their hospital in Seoul, but the medical and surgical supplies were evacuat- ed to be used for the benefit of civilian easualties. Its work was a personification of the Divine pledge, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me." The devotion to duty of the officers and workers ofthe Salvation Army is well-known. It appears to have been exemplified to a high degree in Korea, where another glorious chapter has been added to its laurels. Editorial Notes Even although it is not like winter, every day of mild weather means a welcome sav- ing in the fuel bill. * * General Eisenhower declares that no At- lantic Pact nation can stand alone. Let him tell that to Senator Taft when he returns to his own country. * + Nehru is very partial to the claims of Red China, but that would not help him very much if the Reds decided to take possession of India. * * * * * Federal Minister of Agriculture Gardiner wants legislation to enforce bulk food con- tracts with Britain in peacetime. That means he would force the producers to sell to Brit- ain, whether they want to or not. * * * Management of General Motors of Cahada is to be commended for its success in keep- ing production lines running at full speed, in spite of the difficulties up securing es- sential materials. That is an excellent indica- tion of its efficiency. ® Other Editors' Views @ (Winnipeg Tribune) From the time of the Caesars down through the centuries, adequate roads have been regarded as an absolute necessity in military operations. The need for roads is still paramount, Rather than causing the postponement of the completion of the Trans-Cana- da Highway, the present emergency should speed things up. It will be recalled that duri-g the Second World War a road was rushed through to Alaska that cost hundreds of millions o: dollars, It would be unwise to wait until the need was that pressing before getting on with the Trans-Canada Highway. LJ * * HELP FOR THOSE WHO SAVE (Sudbury Star) Tne Ottawa Government may take steps to remove the iniquitous penalty for thrift--the means test which deprives hundreds of Canada's senior citizens of the old age. pension. There is something definifely wrong with a policy which will take care of the ne'er-do-wells, but will reftise to lend a helping hand to those who saved a part of their earnings for their old age. Under nor- mal conditions these savings would have been ade- quate, but increasing real estate taxes, prices and other costs have devalued the dollar to the point where the savings of the aged are cut ir half. This means they must seek aid from other quarters. eo A Bit of Verse ® A WINTER'S DAY The leaden skies press down from overheai; While myriad tumbling snowflakes, led By merry wind, in wild tumultuous dance-- A terpsichorean revel, yet in consonance With that great organ on which Boreas weaves Harmonies that swell, and echo from the eaves.

His mother wisely replied, "I think, dear, that God spends all His spare time mending broken things." God says, "I will restore to you the years that the "What does God locust hath eaten." (Joel. 2:25.) » On The Barrelhead : Looking Around | The World | By DEWITT MacKENZIE ciated Tress News Analyst Now that Communist China and the United Nations have rebuffed and rebuked each other in the mat- ter of a Korean cease-fire, we are facing a showdown, And why must there be a show- down? Because Washington and other Western powers have reached the conclusion , that Communist China doesn't want peace. Moreover, there is a widespread feeling that any display of hesita- tion by the democracies might in- vite further aggression. . The showdown will of course, be initiated through the peace organ- ization. It is an ugly and danger- ous situation, but because of that very fact it must be dealt with promptly. The United States is pressing for U.N. condemnation of Red China as an aggressor. Such. action would, in the natural course of events, be preliminary to the application of punitive sanctions against the guil- ty government. Faces Opposition Undoubtedly the proposal of puni- tive measures will meet opposition in the U.N. Obviously the entire So- viet bloc will vote against sanc- tions, and one would expect India also to register disapproval, in view of Prime Minister Nehru's strong stand against naming China an AgEressor. . Nehru takes the position that such condemnation would absolute- ly preclude a peaceful settlement of the controversy. More than that, he holds that the Chinese reply to the U.N. cease-fire proposal isn't a flat rejection. Nehru's attitude reminds one rather forcibly of the old Chinese proverb that he who rides a tiger finds it risky to dismount. Now of course Nehru's stand can't be dismissed thus summarily. His great country lies within the vast Asiatic theatre which Communism aims to absorb. It is because this is the Communist program that Red China doesn't figure it profit- able to make a cease-fire agree- ment in Korea. Peiping prefers to let nature take its course. ' Naturally Nehru doesn't want war with China, and it needs no second sight to see that Peiping's ambitions lead in the direction of India"s neighboring frontiers, Impelling Factor Then there presumably is an- other impelling factor in Nehru's attitude. As head of one of the world's largest states--a country ranking eighth 'among the indus- trial powers of the world--he is credited with having ambitions to achieve the leadership of all Asia. Such an ambition clashes direct- ly with what Gen. Mao Tze-Tung, the Chinese Communist leader, also is generally believed to have in mind for himself . And indications are 'that such a set-up may have Russia's blessings--with the under- standing that Moscow remains the big boss. So all things considered, it's easy to understand why Nehru doesn't want trouble with China. However, the Western powers show no signs of letting such con- siderations stand in the way of action against Peiping.

Mac's Musings We are told that since 1930 Average life expectancy Of Canadians has risen By 20 years, which means We can' all expect to Live much longer than Did our ancestors. That is cheerful news But it must not be Thought that this Happened by accident, Or that nature alone Worked all the miracles Which have increased The life span of man. Into that miracle There has gone the Labor of scientists, Seeking new methods And new drugs with which To counteract the many Human ailments which used To boost the death rate. Medical men, in their Own field have learned How to combat disease And to prevent them, So that scourges like Those of diphtheria, Smallpox and typhoid fever Have almost disappeared, And no longer take their Toll of human life As they used to do. Then the improvements In sanitation, in the Inspection of food, In public health service Have all played their part In extending the span Of the human life. So if we have within us Any gratitude for this Increase in life expectancy, It should be shown in Qur appreciation of what Scientists, doctors, Nurses and others who Labor for improved Measures of health Have done for us.

McLaughlin on the plaque situae tion I agree with him. I served overseas for four and a half years and never received one either. I also filled in two applications from the paper and also went to see Mr. Halliday personally. I was told that in a couple of weeks I would receive my plaque. That was nearl two years ago. If you want the names of more veterans who didn't receive one I know about five or six more. The "zombies" received them, why can't the boys overseas get theirs? I would like to know what hap- pened to all the applications that were sent in. At the time that I applied for my plaque I lived at 131 Bloor Street East, but since have moved. It was at my present address that I went to see Mr, Halliday and gave him all the information of my rank, number and name. I hope something will be done to | see that not a few but all the | vets who didn't receive one will get | theirs eventually. | Yours truly, { | J.
