DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for APRIL 10,591 SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1951 Oshawa Development "Evidence of the development of Oshawa from a residential standpoint is seen in the action of the Oshawa Planning Board in giv- ing approval to a number of new subdivision projects, intended to open up new areas for housing. These are all on the outskirts of the former city limits, and show how wise an- nexation was from the standpoint of provid- ing orderly growth of the city's housing facilities. Of particular interest is the approval given to the development of a large sub- division, with room for 300 new homes, on city-owned land lying west of Simcoe Street Sotith and between Thomas Street and the Oshawa Creek. This is undoubtedly one of the choicest residential sections left within the former city limits, with beautiful natural surroundings, and in an area which can be serviced with the usual facilities with a "minimum of effort and expense. It is perhaps fortunate that this is city-owned property, so that it can be made available to citizens desiring to build homes on it without the in- tervention of land speculators, who might reap a rich harvest in disposing of it. This development will open up for residen- tial purposes a section of Oshawa which has long been slighted in this regard. In recent years, some very fine homes have been built just north of this block of land, and they have added much to the southern section of the city. The new project will make possible an extension of residential streets to the "south, within easy distance of the lake, and create assets of very considerable value to the community. Permanent License Plates On several occasions, we have urged in these columns that the Ontario Department of Highways adopt the British system of automobile license plates, and abolish the present method of issuing new plates every year. In Britain, a set of plates is issued when the car is first licensed, and these last during the lifetime of the car. Even the an- nual license fee is paid, a windshield sticker is supplied to indicate that it has been paid. We return to this subject because of an announcement that, because of a shortage of steel, the Ontario Department of Highways might not be able to supply new license plates for 1952, in which event the present license plates will be continued in service, and a windshield sticker supplied to show that the license has been paid. Highways Minister Doucett mentions this, not as a fact which has been decided, but merely as a possibility. We feel, however, that the time is ripe for the Minister to change entirely the system of issuing new plates every year, as a measure of steel conservation, and also because of the advantage in having a motor vehicle carry the same license number throughout the whole of its period of useful service. If the method of using license plates for two successive years and issuing windshield stickers in the second year is sound and feasible, then if is just as sound to have the' metal license plates stay with the vehicle permanently, and use the sticker method every year. In Bad Taste It is a long time since we have read any- thing more calculated to arouse hard feel- ings and tension between the military leaders of the United States and the British Com- monwealth of Nations as the series of articles published recently in Life Magazine, and written by General Omar N. Bradley, United States Chief of Staff. This series f articles was headed "The War America Fought" a title which is bound to give of- fence to the people of other countries who made great efforts and underwent great sac- rifices towards the winning of World War II. But apart fiom the tile, the whole tenor of the articles was such as to give the im- pression that American generals and soldiers won the war, in Europe, not because of the help of British goldiers, airmen and gen- erals, but rather in spite of it. Particularly bitter is the criticism of Field Marshal Earl Montgomery, and the revelation of the un- friendly attitude maintained by Bradley himself towards this distinguished British soldier, Montgomery may have made some mistakes, but the same might well be true of any of the United States generals involved in the European campaign. What che Brad- ley story s:ggests, however, is that all the mistakes were British, and all the triumphs American, At a time when so much d=pends on ° closest possible co-operation in military and defence matters between the United States and the British Commonwealth, these articles were ill-advised. They cannot help but hava the effect of stirring up animosities and hard feelings. It would have been much better for General Bradley not to have sold his memoirs to Life at all, rather than have them become the possible medium of a breach in friendly relationships between United States and British military leaders.

Counties Council has acquired land, totalling 1,050 acres in all, for reforestation. It has obtained an ingenious tree planter of local manufacture and plans to get two more. Working in co-operation with the schools, it has undertaken a continuous program to educate people in reforestation and forest conserva- tion. * + + DIESEL HORN GOING (Windsor Daily Star) The blatant diesel whistle, which has been replac- ing the haunting "Whoo! Whoo-00!" of the stream locomotive, may have squawked once too often. The Southern Railway system in the United States has announced that its diesel air horns are being replac- ed by old-fashioned steam whistles. Months ago some- one in the railway business said this couldn't be done, which again goes to show how dangerous it "Is in these times to say something's impossible. oA Bit of Verse o COUNTRY FRAGRANCE The fragrance of the early morning hours Drifts in the window while I knead the bread, The black earth, newly turned, a wisp of smoke, The scent of grass on which rose petals spread Designs of pink confetti--these things take Me back through years of mornings when June came With®jeweled footsteps, garlands in her hair, And touched the earth with golden, perfumed flame, If time and circumstance should take me far From this green, fragrant land, each year I'd know The same sweet-bitter pain within my heart When June had set the countryside aglow.

'The official opening at 9 p.m. in- cluded brief messages from Dr. J .J. McCann, minister of national rev- enue; A.D, Dunton, chairman of the board of governors of the CBC, and Dr. Augustin Frigon, CBC general manager, A program of highlights of the last 20 years in Canadian radio was written and produced by Gerard Arthur, French - language supervisor. More than one-third of the sys- tem's 1,500 employees in Canada, about 600, are located in this build- ing which has 26 studios originating programs for Canada 18 hours a day, and world programs by short- wave in 14 different languages. From this hiulding go programs to four 50,000-watt transmitters at CBM, CBF, Montreal, and the two international service shortwave transmitters at Sackville, N.B, They also feed two FM transmitters, two shortwave transmitters from North- ern and Western Canada, and three networks in Canada, the Trans- Canada, Dominion and French net- works. Three other studios are being de- veloped for television programs that | will be broadcast from the new CBC television station on Mount Royal. Here the three main technical el- ements in any radio production are grouped in an integrated system-- the studios themselves, the master control room and the record library. Studios on Springs The studios where programs orig- inate are a sample of the planning that went into ,this development, Each is suspended on springs or rubber within the framework of the walls, Inner walls, ceilings and floors are specially treated to pres serve the required acoustics, and outer walls are similarly treated. Within the studios themselves all acoustic tile has a different pattern on its reverse side, so that by re- versing a few tiles within the study different acoustical results may be achieved. The master-control room is de- signed to carry a heavier program load than any other in North Amer- ica. It is geared for five trans- mitters, eight outgoing networks, seven incoming networks and the output from the building's 26 studios. This master control can route 27 individual programs simultaneous ly, including 14 to the recording machines. Through the master con- trol different language announce- ments can be combined with the same musical program for broad- cast to different language zones. The building has a master clock which regulates thes transmitter clock, and in turn the latter drives Savants Find VikingsLiked To Play Crap London, May 19 (CP- Archaeologists announced yesterday they have proof that the Vikings who swept into Britain 1,000 years ago were not all pirates and plunderers. Some just wanted to shoot crap. The same scientists also brought up the theory that the Scotsman's beloved morning plate of porridge may have originated with the Norsemen because they have un- earthed a batch of unwashed pots with fragments of .gluey ground meal still stuck to the sides. Excavations undertaken by the British works ministery at Jarl- shof, on the southern tip of the Shetland Isles, turned up two acres of peaceful homesites built around the 10th century by Viking colon- ists from Norway. Archaeologists said they un- earthed some 4,000 items there to indicate the Vikings' way of life. There were plenty of dice, counters and gaming gadgets but the only weaponsleft by the supposedly war- like Vikings was one iron spear- head, - Mosquitoes Favor Dirty, Sleeping Men London, May 19 -- (Reuters) -- Mosquitoes prefor to bite adult males and they like them best un- washed, asleep and wearing rough clothes. These are the deductions from experiments made in Mosquito habits and reviewed in the British Medical Journal. Doctors experimenting in Ontario and Labrador to find a repellent, discovered that an artificially warmed robot dressed in rough human garments drew most mos- quitoes, nearly 100 smaller timepieces throughout the building, each tick- ing off the seconds in synchroniza- tion with the transmitter clock. The building's electronic equip- ment employs more than 1,600 radio tubes of all shapes and sizes. Five hundred of these are in the mpster control, 200 in the recording room and the rest in the studios. The 600 staff members housed in the new centre include announcers, producers, operators, technicians, stenographers, writers and mainten- ance workers. A modern cafeteria serves hundreds of meals daily. Two separate lounges for radio artists are located adjacent to the studios and storage space for in- struments and equipment are pro- vided.

Mac's Musings Britain's' reputation for Being a land where law And order were observed ' To a high degree has Suffered a great deal Because of the incidents Surrounding the theft of The Stone of Scone from Westminster Abbey. True, the Stone is back In its former location Having been given up by Those who stole it, But so far nothing has Been done to take into Custody those who were Responsible for the act Of sacrilege in stealing it. So we have the unusual Spectacle of newspapers In Britain, in Canada And the United States Publishi; the story Of how the Stone was stolen, Written by one who claims To be the ringleader Of the raiding party . Which invaded the Abbey And stole this relic. Doubtless the writer Of these articles will Make a small fortune From their publication, But we cannot understand Why he is at liberty When he has provided all The evidence to convict Him of being the thief. Sound-thinking people, Even in Scotland. cannot Condone the sacrilege of Breaking into the ancient Westminster Abbey, and it Is amazing that the law Has not reached out And punished the intruders Who now make boast of Their law-breaking. New Stamps Lepers Given New Chance Baton Rouge, La, May 19--(AP) --A prayer came in here on the wings of a giant plane--a prayer for relief from a disease as old as the Bible. It shone from the faces of 12 men and six women, flown here from the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. All are victims of leprosy. Said one woman, who has had the dread malady for 26 of her 70 years; "My life is nearly over, but it is wonderful to know that we are where we can hope again." Said a girl of scarcely more than 21 years: "At last, at last." All but five of the patients walked from the plane to automobiles. The others were borne in stretchers to ambulances. They left immediately for Car- ville, La. 25 miles to the south and the U.S. Marine Hospital-- the United States' only leprosarium, There, about 400 others like them are waging a fight against the in- fection which corrodes the body's tissue. Fifteen of the patients are U.S. citizens, Two others are from the British West Indies and the other from the French West Indies. The flight was arranged through the department of interior, Russian Sailors Voice {trange Impression Washington, May 19 -- (AP) -- Russian sailors who visited Phila- delphia aboard a Soviet cargo ship carried home "eye-witness reports" that the American way of life Is a hectic thing. Their purported reactions were published in the Oressa provincial newspaper Bolshevistokoye Znamya and relayed by radio to other parts of the Soviet Union. Moscow Radio's version of what the sailors reported, as recorded by U.S. gov- ernment monitors included: Posters displayed in Philadelphia recruiting centres said: "Real Americans should go to Europe-- there is money in it." Moscow Radio commented: "To dissuade American sailors from leaving the navy, they are being told that after three years of extra service and the extensive travel which the service incurs, they will become rich men." = 7 PO RTRAITS By James J.

Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst There has been considerable op- position by Britain, Norway and Denmark to the American proposal to include Greece and Turkey in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization --but this opposition seems to be subsiding. Whether it will subside to the point of full agreement--actual in- clusion of the two countries in the formal pact--is an open question. That something will be done to bring them into the partnership of west- ern defence arrangements seems most likely. The United States itself originally was opposed to inclusion of these states, but changed her mind. Gen. Eisenhower pointed out that this would give the Atlantic Pact coun- aries a strong right flank. No Reciprocal Defence Turkey and Greece had desired te be included but some members of the pact--notably Britain -- didn't wish to complicate the organ- ization by stretching it that far. Whilz they woul. be glad to have bases in Greece and Turkey, they didn't want to pledge reciprocal defence of the two in event of ag- gression. And naturally the Greeks and Turks wanted protection, Washington's main consideration in changing its mind, as I under- stand it, revolved about two points: 1. The psychological aspect that making Turkey and Greece members of the pact would give them a needed feeling of security and consequently would increase the bonds of amity with the Western Powers. '2. The more-practical considera- tion that the United States needs bases in that part of the world, and that €his necessarily involves a two-way treaty under which Greece | and Turkey would receive reciprocal ! protection. | The Way it looks from here, it will | be a good bargain if the Western Powers bring Greece and Turkey ® 40 Years Ago Town Council passed a bylaw granting the Toronto Eastern Raile way permission to enter the town.
