DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for MARCH 10,558 FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1951 "Ajax Going Ahead The announcements made yesterday of large scale public works which are being undertaken this year in Ajax point to the rapid development which is taking place in this new Ontario County community eight, miles west of Oshawa. Although Ajax is now governed as an Improvement District, the bulk of the property within it is still owned by the Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, and that body is still interested in seeing that the plans made for the building of a model community are realized, The latest plans provide for the paving of a four lane roadway through the centre of Ajax, running north and south, for a sub- stantial system of storm sewers, for laying curbs and gutters on the main street, and burying the overhead steam pipes which have been one of the eyesores of the village. These are improvements which are not to be found in many communities much older and much larger than Ajax, but they are being undertaken with a view to carrying out the pre-arranged plan. Progress is also being made with the new business block on Har- wood Avenue, which will be the first step to- wards the establishment of a modern busi- ness section for the community. With industry being built up in Ajax in a substantial Way, and with the Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation playing a large part in providing modern conveniences and services, the future of Ajax is indeed promising, and in the not too distant future it may become the second largest commu- * nity in Ontario county. Fluorine in the Water The average citizen is usually a bit scep- tical when he or she reads of plans to inter- fere with the water supply by adding chemicals to it, but the decision to add fluorine to the water, as a means of reducing the incidence of tooth decay, can be consid- ered a sound one. 'The decision was not made by the Public Utilities Commission alone. It was recommended by the Oshawa Board of Health after a thorough survey of results in other cities. It was also recommended by the Oshawa Dental Association and the staff of the Oshawa General Hospital, while the City Council gave the move its blessing. When all of these important bodies agree unanimously on a decision of this kind, the people of Oshawa can be satisfied that it is justified. The use of fluorine in water sup- plies is a comparatively new technique, but there is sufficient experience in its use to indicate that it is worthwhile. In Brantford, after three years use, there was a decrease of 31 per cent in dental decay in school chil- dren. In Newburgh, New York, the reduction of caries in school children was 32.5 per cent. Twenty-seven cities in Wisconsin have reported comparable results from the use of fluorides in their water supplies. The proposals developed by the Oshawa Board of Health having received the ap- proval of the Director of Sanitary Engineer- ing of the Ontario Department of Health, it is logical that this forward step should be 'taken in fortifying the water supply so as to have it include this modern method of teeth preservation. It is an excellent way of enabling people to enjoy reduced dental bills at the very small cost of adding the fluorine to the water supply. . Difficulties in Iran The British government has been given a warning that the government of Iran will not tolerate any intervention in the troubles which have arisen in the oil fields of that country. This trouble, which has already resulted in the loss of lives of British citizens, has arisen ostensibly because of strikes in the oil field area controlled by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Behind it all, however, is the adoption by the Iran parlia- ment of 'the prinicple of nationalization of the country's oil resources. » fifty years, all development in Iran Canadian Press, Pay ho has been controlled by a British Company, which, in return, pays royalties to the Iran government. Under the influence of a wave of nationalistic feeling, the Iran government now wishes to nationalize these resources, a step which is strongly opposed by the British interests, backed up by the British govern- ment. Oil from Iran is of prime importance to the British supply system, particularly for the use of the navy, and it can be taken for granted that Britain will not give up its concessions in Iran without a struggle. There is, of course, something paradoxical about this whole situation. Here we have in Britain a Socialist government which is nationalizing all the major industries of the country, including coal, iron and steel. It has further objectives for nationalization yet io be realized. It believes firmly that all essen- tial industries should be owned and operat- ed by the state, and it has made consider- able progress in that direction. Yet at the same time, the British government is bitterly opposed to the government ofglran following a parallel course with its natural resources. It is prepared to go before the International Court of Justice to test the legality of the nationalization of Iran oil. But surely what is good for Britain itself should also be good for Iran, in the eyes of the Socialists. Surely it would be logical for the British Socialist administration to welcome with open arms any suggestion that another couniry is fol- lowing a course similar to its own. Editorial Notes Australia, New Zealand and the United States are planning to form a Pacific Pact, similar to the North Atlantic Treaty. Should not Canada be in it, too? This country has very definite interests in the Pacific. # * ® Dr. Hugh Keenleyside's address to the Canadian Club told the story of a phase of United Nations activity about which very little has been made known. That is true also of much of the work which is done by U.N. agencies and commissions. * + * Once again, the dinner meeting: of the South Ontario Canadian Club was crowded out. This justifies the faith of those who were responsible for the venture of. organiz- ing it. * * * An American missionary claims that 95 per cent of the Chinese people are ready to join Chiang-Kai-Shek in a move to defeat the Reds. We wonder how much wishful thinking is contained in that figure. ® Other Editors' Views @ UNADULTERATED THEFT Cocktail bar owners in Toronto have been warned that their places will be closed up if they are caught selling an ounce of liquor as two ounces. Why the warning? Is not such a practice as much a form of theft as the technique of the short-change artist? Should not police action follow automatically, with- out warning? BLUE BLOOD DEBUNKED (Edmonton Journal) Blue blood, that traditional ensign of nobility, is the latest casualty in science's unending war against man's pleasant illusions. According to McGill Uni- versity scientists, blue blood isn't a sign that you have dukes and earls in your family tree. It merely indicates a shortage of oxygen, Instead of entitling its possesser to a seat in the House of Lords, it merely makes him a worse risk in surgical operations and high altitude flying. How disillusionizing! Still, at that, a shortage of oxygen might be as good an explanation as any for the behaviour of some "blue- blooded" families, We now await with interest the chemical deflation of the red-blooded he-man, ® A Bit of Verse @ THE CALL OF SPRING (From India) Children, my children, the spring wakes anew, And calls through the dawn and the daytime For flower-like and fleet-fotted maidens like you, To share in the joy of its playtime. O'er hill-side and valley, through garden and grove, Such exquisite anthems are ringing Where rapturous bulbul and maina and dove Their carols of welcome are singing. I know where the ivory lilies unfold In brooklets half-hidden in sedges, . And the air is aglow with the blossoming gold Of thickets and hollows and hedges. I know where the dragon-flies glimmer and glide, And the plumes of the wild peacocks are gleaming, Where the fox and the squirrel and timid fawn hide And the hawk and the heron lie dreaming, The earth is ashine like a humming-bird's wing, And the sky like a kingfisher's feather, O come, let us go and play with the spring Like glad-hearted children together. . --=Sarojini Naidu. e A Bible Thought e ", . . Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. (Heb. 12:2.) Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. "They looked unto Him, and were lightaned: and their faces were not ashamed." (Psa, 34:5) 4 "A Choice of Explosions" --White, in The Akron Beacon-Journal Montreal, April 27--(CP) -- De- cisions to launch immediately a new expansion program in the Canadian aluminum industry, in- volving the first stage of a vast new integrated aluminium develop- ment in the remote areas of Brit- ish Columbia, were announced by Nathaniel V. Davis, president of Aluminium Limited. He also announced construction of another major hydro-electric power site at Chute Savanne in Quebec's Saguenay district at an estimated cost of $60,000,000. In a speech to shareholders at the company's annual meeting, Mr. Davis said the Canadian develop- ments would be undertaken by the company's subsidiary, Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd. He estimated the total capital ex- penditure in the program at $220,- 000,000 of which $160,000,000 would be the cost of the first stage in the British Columbia development. The construction at Chute Savanne will include new ingot facilities. Mr, Davis's announcement ended doubt concerning the possible start of Aluminum production in the Tweedsmuir Park area of British Columbia, a undeveloped area 400 miles northeast of Vancouver. The project will utilize the waters of a chain of interior lakes to produce electric power, The aluminum smelting plant and a new town to house the working force will be built near the Tidewater Indian vil- lage of Kitimat. Raw materials will be taken to Kitimat by sea or by railway spur, taking off from Terrace, from the C.N.R. mainline into Prince Rupert. Increasing Volume Expected increase in Canadian aluminum productive capacity re- sulting from the two-province ex- pansions scheme is 150,000 metric tons (330,000,000 pounds) a year, bringing total usable integrated ca- pacity over the 550,000-ton mark. The company is already embark- ed on a $45,000,000 program to de- velop an initial site on Quebec's Peribonka River called Chute-du- Diable (Devil's Falls) to produce 200,000 horsepower and support ap- proximately 45,000 tons of annual aluminium production. Decision to build the Chute Sav- anne powerhouse will permit fur- ther increased aluminium output now, Mr. Davis said. The British Columbia scheme will require more than three years of construction. "It is currently planned to... bring in production of the first aluminium in British Columbia in 1954..." "prolonged study has been given to the financing of the combined programme, Having regard for the funds now in hand and assured, the company believes, under present estimates, that the financial ar- rangergents for the combined de- velopments have been substantially completed. The company further believes that such additional fi- nancing as may be required can be handled on a normal basis." eo 35 Years Ago A house famine threatened in Oshawa and rents advanced 20 to 25 per cent in six months. Proposals to re-organize the pub- lic schools in Oshawa provided a stormy discussion at a Board of Education meeting. Cameron Dart, son of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Dart, was reported killed in action in France. Town Council took an option on 23 acres of land on the Tonkin farm on Ritson Road, to be pur- chased for industrial purposes. Recruiting for Ontario County's 182nd Battalion, C.E.F. was report- ed to be proceeding at a rapid rate, and the battalion is making pro- gress with training.

So there are two sides To this question of Daylight saving time, And there will never be Complete agreement on it Between city and country Because 'while the city folk Want the extra hour of Daylight in the evening, The farming people would Rather have it in the morning. But taking it all over, While we here in Oshawa Enjoy the change to Daylight saving time, The fact that only a few Places throughout Ontario, Observe it make it an Infernal nuisance to Travelling folk, who Are at a loss to know Just what time it is Going to be when they Reach their destination. We have said this before, But it bears repeating, That if there is to be Daylight saving at all, It should be universal Throughout the province, Or should be abandoned, Because it is so confusing To have two different Standards of time used In different communities.

It is permitted on the race track as well as on the Stock Exchange or Stock Market and the govern- ment controls it through the pro- cesses of law. At the moment and for some time past, due to the immensity of "trading" the greatest danger lies not in the race track but in the Stock Market. There was sufficient evidence of the immensity of its ramifications and of its disastrous effects upon the lives of countless millions who were either ruined or thrown out of work when the bub- ble burst in the 30s. If the Rotarian considers that "Gambling is injurious to the morals and welfare of the people" then why does this organization permit stockbrokers and others of their ilk to become members of Interna- tional Rotary? Somehow or other there seems a complete lack of consistency. This, however, can be said in mi- tigation for the gamblers on the race track they do get out in the fresh air, and even, at times, get a horse to run for their money. The Stock Market, however, is respect able--so very respectable. Yours sincerely, BRIAN PADRIG MCcAULIFFE 82 Elgin Street West, Oshawa, April 25, 1951. Raffle Proposal Hit By Churches Belleville, April 27 -- (CP) -- The Belleville Presbytery of the United Church, Thursday, condemned sa suggestion that federal anti-gambl- ing laws be relaxed to permit op- eration of lotteries and raffles by church and other charitable groups. The presbytery held a special meeting to discuss a suggestion made by deputy Attorney-General Clifford Magone in testimony bee fore the provincial crime investie gation committee. Earlier Thursday in Toronto, the Christian Social Council, represent- ing 10 Prctestant churches and ore ganizations in Canada, said it was "surprised and deeply shocked" by Mr, Magone's suggestion. Ask Conciliators In Labor Dispute Toronto, April 27 -- (CP) -- A conciliation officer will be named to seek settlement in the dispute between Canadian newsprint come panies and a number of AFL. unions, Labor Minister Daley said Thursday. Request for a conciliation 'officer was made Thursday by representae tives of the paper companies who visited Mr. Daley.
