DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for FEBRUARY 10,842 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1951 An Idea Worth Watching Georgy Graham, a farmer and business man of Belleville, has instituted a plan for reducing the cost of milk to the people of that community. He has established a cash- and-carry system for the distribution of milk. By opening a central distribution sta- tion in Belleville, and having other agents in stores throughout the community, he has done away with the costly system of milk deliveries. The people who wish to do busi- ness with him have to call for their milk and carry it home. In return, he is able to reduce the price of the product by four or five cents a quart, according to the amount pur- chased. People buying five or more quarts at one time receive a special discount of a cent a quart. This experiment, for that is what it is, is worth watching, not because of its possibi'i- ties as a means of cutting milk prices, but as a test of human nature. Minister of Agri- culture T. L. Kennedy had the idea three or four years ago, that milk prices could be re- duced drastically if the consumers were will- ing to call for it and not have it delivered to their homes. He had a survey made on that point, and as a result he came to the conclusion that the average milk consumer would much rather pay the extra cents per quart to have the milk delivered to their doorstep daily than save these cents by means of a cash-and-carry system. This 3 the finding which Mr. Graham of Belleville is trying to upset by his distribution plan in PRY - that city. Frankly, we do not think he will succeed. We believe the Hon. Mr, Kennedy had an ac- curate understanding of human nature--and it was backed up by his survey--when he said people would gladly pay more in order to have the daily milk delivery to which they are accustomed, If services of this kind are demanded, then someone has to pay for them, and of cougse, the ultimate consumer is the only source of payment. So in protest- ing the increased price of milk, we should remember that it is largely due to the ser- vices that the consumers demand and ex- pect, and which add considerably to the price of the product. Arms For Europe The Canadian government has made a splendid contribution to the plans for the defence of Western Europe by making a gift to the Netherlands of sufficient arms and equipment to arm a whole division of fighting men. It has also been announced that a similar gift is to be made to Belgium. These countries have the manpower avail- able to form these divisions, but not the means of providing armaments and equip- ment for them so that the Canadian gifts will make possible the placing of two fully-armed divisions at the disposal of General Eisen- hower for his European defence force. There is, however, a rather significant background to these gifts. Up to the present time, and in the two world wars, the Cana- dian army was tied in closely with the Brit- ish army. Its armaments and equipment were standardized with those used by the British troops. Therefore this country had acquired a fairly substantial amount of arms and equipment of the British pattern. In the present re-armament moves, how- ever, that policy has been changed. For what seem like very good reasons, Canada's army is now being standardized on the pattern-of the United States army. It seems like that, should there be another war, Canadian ard United States troops will fight alongside each other and their formations will be in- tegrated with one another. Therefore the supplies which were on hand of British arms and equipment became of no use to the Cana- dian army, whereas they could be of very great use to the European countries whose defence forces were being tied in with those of the United Kingdom. 'It was these circumstances which made it . possible for Canada to deliver military equin- ment to Holland and Belgium with such speed, without in any way impairing the sup- plies available for our own army. Thus the change in the policy so far as Canadian army equipment is concerned served the double purpose of placing our army on a logical basis of co-operation with the United States forces, and at the same time making a great contribution to the arming of defence forces in Europe. Dr. W. S. Millman The sudden passing of Dr. W. 8. Millman, one of Oshawa's most popular and gifted medical men, created a profound feeling of regret and sympathy throughout the entire community. Dr. Millman was a man of great talents and he used them unsparingly on be- half of his fellow-citizens, both in his priv- ate capacity as a practising physician and in the public duties which he accepted and carried out conscientiously and well. As a member of the Board of Health from 1942 to the present time, and its chairman in 1943 and 1944, and as a member of the medical staff of the Oshawa General Hospital, of which he was the chief last year, he made a valuable contribution to the health and wel- fare of the people of Oshawa. Dr. Millman had a remarkable gift for friendship. Quiet and unassuming, he had a great fund of good humor, and it was not surprising to learn of the large place he had won for himself in the hearts of those who were his patients and friends. Oshawa is poorer because of his sudden passing, and The Times-Gazette joins sincerely in express- ing the deepest sympathy to his bereaved wife and daughters and to his colleagues in the Oshawa Clinic.

Maurice Roy, Roman Catholic Archbish- op of Quebec, has imposed an absolute ban on bingo i or other games of chance organized by, parishes with- in his diocese. This follows a similar ban ordered by Archbishdp Paul-Emile Leger in the Montreal diocese. These instructions, applying to the two principal dioceses in Quebec Province, suggest bingos and other such games had been much too prevalent. Each dlo- cese can make its own rules, though an assembly of bishops in Quebec Province had forbidden games of chance. What has occurred in the Montreal and Quebec dioceses probably will be an encouragement to a lim- itation of games of chance in other dioceses, if they do not issue an outright ban.

Our world has been ; Down through the centuries A place of endless strike Of wars and turmoil, Of men striving to destroy Their fellow-human beings Because man has failed To grasp and make use of The full significance Of the message of He who Was crucified on Calvary, And rose again to proclaim To a suffering world That in Him all could Have peace and comfort. For twenty centuries That message of Easter Has been falling on the Hearts of human beings, And while it has been Recognized as the foundation Stone of Christian faith, The message of Christ To humanity has been ignored. Today we could have A different world if Easter became more than Just another festival To be observed in a Mechanical way as just A holiday from work, And a time for making That semi-annual visit To a place of worship. In the Risen Christ and His leadership of mankind Lies our only hope for The kind of world for ' Which He went to the Cross, And for which He arose From the grave so that All men might know that In Him alone can men Live in harmony and Peace with one another. ® 25 Years Ago South Ontario temperance forces organized for the coming prohibi- tion campaign, with G.

Forty-seven million West Ger- mans in the centre of Europe are becoming increasingly restive under ficials say. Behind-the-scenes bickering and distrust between Allied officials and German leaders is reported mount- ing. In Bonn, the capital, a drum- fire of criticism against the Allies is heard. Allied officials say Western Eur- ope's growing confidence in its ability to defend itself against the Communist threat is not matched in Germany. Want Shackles Scrapped They concede that West German leaders sincerely hope to align the country with.the west, including an eventual German armed contribu- tion to the Atlantic Army. But German leaders tell Allied chiefs in private that they cannot pass re- armament legislation until the last shackles of occupation are scrapped. | They are prodding the Allies to 1 hin -- MEN 7 Ary | & Ji "PORTRAITS * By James J.

But direct talks with the Germans on winding up the occupation have not started. The Allies argue that the Germans fail to understand the complexities of the "contractual ar- rangement" promised them by.the Brussels Foreign Ministers confer- ence last December. By ' Allied estimate, 18 months will be needed to hammer out the details of the "contractual agree ment." The present occupation system becomes a political liability for the West in Germany as well as to the German Government. Allied sure veys indicate that a majority of West Germans distrust their existe ing political parties and acutely dis like having the Bonn regime under the thumb of allied controls.
