Controller Innes even went so far as to say: *" uoffizens of Toronto are subsidizing benefits > gale res der 'of the province is receiving from he government. The Provincial Government is ! playing the Toronto taxpayer as an easy mark." iJ pntroller Innes and the aldermen who © @eged with him appagently have an entirely erite Ben view of the place of Toronto with- To tréunyince of Ontario. They do not Toronto is the city it is today A p fact that behind it is all the Drovince, providing markets for s, for its large retail houses, and ajor contribution to the welfare 1 city. They also do not recog- that, compared with most On- the Toronto taxpayers enjoy a e. Here in Oshawa the tax rate is p eight mills from last year. In e increase over last year was six s like Hamilton, St. Catharines, Brantford, Kitchener, Windsor, Fingston, Peterboro and others have Aat much higher levels than Toron- ile they do not enjoy that distinc- do not ask to be singled out by oronto is not entitled to any more con- pation in the way of tax relief than any her y in the Province. As was stated in teolumn recently, it is time for a provin- Smunicipal fiscal conference to bring » measure of relief to the over-burdened icipal taxpayers, But that relief should sly to all municipalities, and not, as Con- er Innes and his colleagues seem to think, to the City of Toronto alone. The Milk Industry f The spectacle of violent fluctuations in the price of butter, with shortages evident from time to time, the steady decline in the production of cheese, and the annual battle ver the price of fluid milk all point to the Bact that the time is ripe for a complete re- Sorganization of the dairy industry of On- jo. In this regard, some lessons might be 4 ed from the experience of Great Britain 2 the handling of milk distribution. ® In Ontario, there is the undesirable system Minder which the price the farmer receives for his milk depends on the channels throygh : hich it is marketed. Fluid milk, sold to] os for human consumption, receives the op price. But when the milk is used for 'sese or butter production, or is sold to Pe oncentrated milk factories, the prices Saived are considerably less. This brings ery. pers might receive totally different prices teas 00 pounds of milk, although it is pro- a under the same conditions and with wabively the same schedule of costs. Milk ed as fluid milk today might bring approxi- Paely $4.20 per 100 pounds, whereas milk mee into cheese might bring about $3.00, ho milk which goes to the butter trade re- 8Mes about $3.25. Lowest in the scale is the » going to the concentrated milk trade, "eh might bring from $2.60 to $2.75 per Js pounds. These figures may not be exactly feurate, but they represent a very fair pic- ure of the situation. It is often argued that the fluid milk pro- ducer has to maintain higher standards of health and sanitation in his dairy herd than shose in the other groups, so that he needs to have a higher price. But from the public Lbs health standpoint, there should be no dif- » . - Ld ference in these factors, no matter in what form the milk finally reaches the consumer. __Phree years ago a group of Ontare dairy farmers, including Roy F. Lick of Oshawa, a situation whereby neighboring | went to Britain to study the British system. There they found that all milk supplies are pooled, with the distributing agency decid- ing into which market the milk should go. All the proceeds of the sale of milk go in'o the pool, and are distributed to the pro- ducers, with every farmer receiving the ame price for his milk. The only exception to this is that premiums are paid for higher quality milk from accredited herds. : This is a system which is fair to all, and one which might well Le considered by the dairy farmers of Ontario. Mr. Lick and zome of his colleagues were very favorakly im- pressed with it, but the difficulty was to persuade those supplying the fluid milk trade to accept the uniformity of payments which such a plan would produce. Under present conditions, however, the adaptation of the British system to the Ontario dairy industry | is worth consideration. Hardly Consistent The Post Office Department announces that, starting with the beginning of April, an aerial parcel post service will be inaugurated in Canada. The idea behind it is to expedite the sending of small parcels, and this service, doubtless, will be of great benefit to many types of business men as well as to private individuals. In inaugurating this type of parcel airmail service, the Post Office Department is main- taining its place of leadership in the use of modern means of transportation. It has for some time been operating an all-inclusive airmail service for first class mail where greater speed can be achieved by air trans- port. And in a country in which there are long distances to be covered, this is a ser- vice that is appreciated. It is difficult, however, to reconcile the de- partment's passion for speed in the transport of mails with the slowing-up process which has been injected into its delivery service by the recent ruling allowing only one delivery per day in residential areas. It is quite con- ceivable that first class mail and parcels might be transported in a good deal less time when carried by air, and that this saving in time might be nullified by the fact that de- livery has to wait until the next day after it arrives at the post office of its destination. This slowing-up of delivery service hardly seems consistent with what is being done in other directions to secure greater speed in . transporting the mails.

This is simply an expression of distrust in the jury system. If jury- men are sufficiently responsible to pass on evidence enough to- focus their attention on the evidence be- fore them, rthér than being swayed by extraneous re- porta. o A Bit of Verse @ THE HAZEL WOOD A dosen years ago we walked The hazel wood by twos, And I got gold burrs in my hair, And gold leaves in my shoes. Right in the middle of the wood The path forked east and west, And you must take the sun-wise route, I liked the east one Dest. My winding way was beautiful, And yours, I hear, vias good, But neither of us found again The middle of the wood. For me the branching road is best, , That I may pick and choose, But I have walked no other path With gold leaves in my shoes. --Yetsa Gillespie in The New York Herald Tribune. ® A Bible Thought e The morning is one end of the thread on which the day's activities are strung, and should be well knotted with devotion. A Morning Prayer -- "My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Gord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up . . . Cause me to hear Thy loving kindness in the morn- ing; for In Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee." (Psa. 5:3; 143:8) SOAR ARGENTINK® Ways of a Dictator Bon oT Q\ LA PREP --Bishop, In The Louis Star-Times Looking Around The World By DEWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst Yugoslavia accuses Russia of op- erating syp schools in satellite countries to train agents for es- pionage against Marshal Tito's gov- ernment. p That isn't surprising. It's well known that Moscow maintains an elaborate counter-intelligence sys- tem and operates scnools not only at home but in occupied territory and foreign countries. However, we should be naive if we thought Russia was the only country having such a system. Ev- ery major power in the world has its agents at home and abroad. De- puty Premier Matyas Rakosi of Hungary a year ago said the Uni- ted States maintains "the greatest spying organimation in the world." Let us hope Rakosi is correct, be- cause there's plenty of work for counter-intelligence agents. You will recall that not long ago the U.S., Canada and Britain made a concerted drive against Red spies with startling results. Counter-intelligence agents these days have to be not only smart and brave, but they must have careful training. Counter - espionage no longer is merely a Mata-Hari affair of tricking the diplomat into giving up deep secrets to the beauteous girl -- although of course women are employed in the service. Candidates for employment as intelligence agents are carefully se- lected, and screened to determine their special qualifications. A can- didate who, for instance, aims at foreign service, must have one or more foreign languages. However, counter intelligence isn't by any means confined to dip- lomatic and governmental affairs. More often than not the agent will find his task in munitions plants and other vital industries among the ordinary workers. The counter-intelligence agent who gets caught is out of luck. The penalty is imprisonment or death. In the Russian satellite states great numbers of "spies" have been sent to prison or have been executed. Less Meat Blamed For Weaker Blood London,--(CP)--Lack of whole- some meat in the average Briton's diet is blamed for a lowered stan- dard of blood taken from volunteer donors within recent years for the nation's blood banks. In his annual report, Dr. H. F. Brewer, head of London's Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, reported tests had shown that blood offered today was several points poorer than in 1939. As a result, Dr. Brewer said, the minimum level of haemoglobin-- the figure on which blood quality is assgssed--permissible in new donors, had been reduced from 92 per cent to 85 per cent. "Even s0, the number of rejec- tions on account of mild anaemia is appreciably greater than before 1939," he added. "Good animal pro- tein is essential for blood regener- ation and there is no doubt that the diminshed amount of meat in the diet must have an influence on blood donations." The dotor said he had recom- mended that donors in future should 2 called on to give blood only twice a year because of the increase in anaemia. Formerly the safe min- imum intervals were three months for men and four for women. The amount of blood taken from the average donor is also reduced to about two-thirds of a pint, com- pared with almost a full pint before the war. ewaerm---------------- HYDRO FOR UGANDA The first stage of the £15 million Uganda Hydro-Electric scheme at Owen Falls on the Nile is expected to be ready by March, 1953.

E New Type Of Synthetic Rubber Made Sarnia, Ont., April 2--(CP)-- Commercial production of a new type of synthetic rubber is announ- ced by Polymer Corporation Ltd. J. R. Nicholson, executive vice- president of the crown-owned com- pany said the new material is known as Polysar Krynol and resulted from a year's research and co-operative effort between Polymer-'and General Tire and Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio. It is being made available today to the Canadian rubber in- dustry for the first time in com- mercial quantities. The development is said to mark a new era in synthetic rubber man- ufacture, since it permits a 20-to 25-per-cent increase in production of rubber from criticial raw ma- terials. It is said also to open the possibility of a wide range of new types of rubber for special purposes. The announcement said that the new. product is indistinguishable in appearance from ordinary raw rub- ber and "has the right balance of quality and processability required for commercial utilization." Both General Tire and Polymer say the material is at least as good as ordinary synthetic rubber for a variety of purposes and may, in practice, equal or surpass cold rub- ber in special applications.

There is much talk of Tightening law enforcement Because of what has been Learned by the committee, But it must be noted That all law enforcement Stems from the determination Of the people to be Law-abiding themselves. There would be no gambling Rings to flout the laws If there were not people Who indulge in'gambling, So that the proper start In cleaning up the Undesirable conditions Must. be made with the Millions who provide the Money for the gamblers. There can be a great Clean up of gambling and Other offences against Public morality if the Revelations made act as A spur to the people to Have a greater sense Of private morality. Whether a country or Community is law-abiding, Depends on the people Who-are its citizens, And the extent to which They themselves are willing To raise moral standards, And abstain from those Illegal practices which Are at the root of The gambling evil. 3) N N + © 2} PORTRAITS By James J.

Blow to Grammar Teaching (Peterboro Examiner) A loud hurrah for George Mc- Cracken, the professor of journal- ism at the University of Western Ontario; he has told the English teachers attending the meetings of the Ontario Education Association that he is tired of giving élemen- tary instruction in grammar to pu- pils in his course who have not been given that training in primary and secondary schools. This a point upon which we think that every editor in Ontario will support Mr. McCracken, It is dis- appointing, and all too common, that young men and women who want to become newspaper writers, come to that work without a firm grammatical foundation. It is a waste of an editor's time to tell aspiring writers that the nominative case must always follow the verb "to be", and to explain the elemsn= tary rules governing the agreemens of numbers; an editor expects te tell a young reporter about such matters as congruity of vocabulary, and the bare elements of style and taste, but he does not want to be- gin with the A.B.C. of grammar. The present system of instrue- tion in grammar, if it may be calle ed that, has failed. So far as we are concerned, the sooner the schools go back to the old system of instruction in parsing and analysis, the better. Frankly, we do not eare how grammar is taught, so long as schoolchildren learn it, and do nos have to be taught in adult life, when they have begun to eam money as alleged newspaper work- ers, by editors who are quite busy enough without taking on work for which schoolteachers are paid.
