DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JUNE 10,617 FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1951 Going on Vacation Today the annual vacation looms large in the thoughts of the majority of the citizens of Oshawa. Because this weekend starts 'the annual vacation period of General Motors of Canada and several other major industries in the city, the subject of holidays has al- most completely dominated conversation dur- ing the past week or so. Just who was the first wise man who came to the conclusion that a break in the year's labor was necessary during the try- ing summer months no one can be quite cer- tain. Such a custom, however, dates back many thousands of years, according to those who have been sufficiently interested to delve into the history of vacations. Whatever the origin of this period of designated rest may be, its importance in the modern scheme of things leaves no room for argument. Fortunately, without exception, the neces- sity for a vacation each summer, of some description, has been recognized by both employer and employees. The points where vacations differ, however, are numerous. Some fortunates can spend the greater part of the warm weather In idly attempting .to forget their business cares through uninter- rupted pleasure. For others a vacation means perhaps three or four more or less precious days to a week, and the general time allotted for the majority is generally two weeks. In locale, too, in this country, there is wide choice for the vacationist, usually af- fected by economic and transportation con- siderations. Here in Canada the choice is so wide as to be bewildering, particularly when there is a family whose opinions do not run along parallel lines. Father may have an idea that he must have some good fishing; or he may want to brush up on his golf; _ daughter requires a location where there is a suitable younger set; perhaps mother would just like to travel and see renowned beauty spots, so as to be free from cooking and household work. But these problems can usually be reconciled when good humor and common-sense prevail. . Now the vacation period is here, and Osh- awa will be a quief city for the next two weeks. And at the end of that time, the workers will flock back to their jobs, re- freshed and reinvigorated for another fifty weeks of toil. So wherever you may be go- ing, whatever you may be doing, our wish for all of you is "Happy holiday and safe return." Circus Stunt Stopped The authorities in Britain and France have acted wisely in puttiig a stop to an out- rageous circus stunt which had been planned by Russell Tongay of Miami, Florida. This man had gone to Britain with his two chil- dren, a son aged five and a daughter aged four, with the intention of having them try to swim the English Channel. It was purely a circus stunt planned in the hope of making some capital out of his children's swimming ability. He admitted that they would not be successful in swimming the channel, but nevertheless he figured that the resultant publicity would pay off in dollars and cents. The British and French authorities, how- ever had something to say about his plans. They recognized the stunt for what it was, and decided that if the father of these two children did not care enough about them to protect them from the hazards of a Channel swim attempt, they would have to step in and do it. First the British government re- fused to allow the children to start the swim from the English side of the channel. So the Tongays went to France, only to be told they would be allowed to stay there on one cqndition, that the children did not try to swim out, across the English channel. The French authorities went further, they refus- ed to allow swimming exhibitions for the exploitation of the children. So the whole thing has been called off. : One cannot commend the British and French governments too highly for the sane stand they took in this ridiculous attempt to exploit children still almost in the baby stage. One can express the hope that when they return to the United States, these chil- dren will be given similar pretection by the Make it Safe As thousands of Oshawa citizens and their families leave for their annual vacations, we would like to give a word of warning, and a suggestion. Whatever you do, make it a safe holiday. You all want to come back to work and to your homes at the end of two happy weeks. You will do that if, no matter where you may go and what kind of a holiday you are enjoying, all the rules of safety are ob- served on land and in the water. If you are going on an extensive motoring trip, be careful and cautious every second you are at the wheel. Do not drive too far each day, and thus you will avoid excessive fatigue which often results in carelessness and accident. Remember every moment that on the man at the wheel depends the safe return home of the occupants of the car. If your holiday is to be spent on or in the water, in boating, fishing* or swimming, don't take chances. If you are unable to swim, stay in water that is not beyond your depth. Even if you can swim, take every precaution to keep out of danger, and when in a boat, observe all the rules of water safety. We have stressed the necessity of follow- ing safety rules on the road and on or in the water many times. We make no apology-for doing so again at this moment, because we do want all our Oshawa holiday makers to come home safe and sound. We hope with all our hearts that we do not have to record fatal mishaps to any of our people during the vacation period. The way to make sure we will not, is by following the advice we have tried to give. Editorial Notes There are a great many people who wish they could do something about the weather, but so far all they can do is talk about it. + # + Remember last year how daily rains did much to mar the holiday two weeks for Osh- awa's industrial workers. We are hoping that the year 1951 will be much kinder to them, and bring plenty of warm sunshine. + + + The Windsor Star suggests that some people come back from a vacation wishing they could have stayed longer. And some of those they come back to probably wish the same thing. , + + + The welcome which New York gave to General MacArthur recently cost the city treasury $23,500. Quite a sum for a city to spend on a demonstration which had a touch of political bias behind it. * * +» A psychologist, after making a prolonged study of the preferred desires of some 96 students, found that in first place was their desire for world peace. It should not take a psychologist to find out that all of our people in this country want peace above everything else. ® Other Editors' Views o MILLIONS FOR LIQUOR (8t. John's News) You don't have to be a teetotaller or a rabid pro- hibitionist to hold the opinion that liquor sales of more than $5 millions a year are far too high for Newfoundland, Sales of this volume only imply that a lot of people are drinking much more than they can afford. +* * * WBE, THE PEOPLE (Saint John Telegraph-Journal) Most of us have never passed a law, arrested any- body, sentenced somebody to jail, nor executed an- other human being. Yet every citizen in the country bears a personal responsibility for all thdse things «done by government as the agent of us all. The ultimate blame for the policies and deeds of govern- ment in Canada, when there is blame to be placed, rests upon the Canadian people in greater degree than does responsibility rest--for example--upon the Russian people for their government. ® A Bij of Verse @ DIAL Seeing the moon grow rounder and more bright And the four seasons pass and come again, Earth move away from darkness into light, Ourselves a part of that unending chain, We read no deeper meaning into these Mercurial moments than the daily sum Of time's illusion, than complexities Of clicking cog and s¥:.nging pendulum.

"He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer thee." (Isa. 30:19). AND THESE ARE MY CRILDREN! _DADDY LONG LEGS A UN, STAND SAVED WAR SAYS TRUMAN Washington (AP) -- President Truman Thursday expressed belief that the 'resolute' United Nations stand against aggression in Korea may have headed off a world war. Declaring that the U. N., by its reaction to the Communist attack on South Korea, '"'made clear that an aggressor will not be allowed to isolate and destroy his victims one by one," Truman added: "There is much to indicate that the resolute resistance of U. N. troops has given pause to those aggressive forces which cold-blood- edly brought tragedy to Korea." These views were contained in a letter the president submitted to congress with a report on United States participation in the U. N. during 1950. Truman referred to the report as "a record of cecision and action in the face of aanger" and 'for the most part a record of solid- arity among U. N. members against aggression." Declaring that "the aggressors and their supporters undoubtedly believed" the U. N. would not rally 'to the defence of South Korea, Truman said: "It is probable that one of the purposes of the attack was to break down -- through such a fail- ure -- any possibility of effective U. N. action against aggression in the future," he added: "The U. N. elected fo act now rather than to drift passively once more down the fatal trail of failure to oppose aggression which leads finally to total war. Thousands of men have therefore sacrificed their lives in Korea to the end that mil- lions may not lose their lives in world war." Noting that Communist propa- ganda has sought to represent the Unites States' part in the Korean war as 'imperialism," Truman said: "Our action . . .was not dictated by an American material interest there. . .Our action in the crisis was motivated by our deep con- viction of the importance of pre- venting a breakdown of the in- ternational security system and of the principles of the (U.N.) char- r." Covering U. N. developments up to Dec. 31, the report and the pres- ident's letter bore no reference to the current efforts to work out an armistice in Korea. Truman paid tribute to"the fight- ing men of the U. S. and 15 other countries taking part in the Korea struggle. Claim Accidents Result From Lack Of Supervision Toronto.--Safe work practices and good training were placed near the top of the list in accident preven- tion at a meeting of the Ceramic and Stone Accide=! Prevention As- sociation here on Thursday. Some weference was made to what is oft- en called "carelessness" but the feeling was that this might easily be due to lack of supervision and the failure to train men in safe work practices, : This association covers all of the imdustries in Class 6 under work- men's compensation in Ontario. There are 800 firms in the Class and the estimated payroll for the year is in excess of $40,000,000. The chief industries are the operation of quarries, sand, clay and gravel pits; crushing of stone, manufacture of cemen!, brick, tile, sewer pipe, pot- tery, abrasive articles and glass, to- gether with marble works, lime burning, milling of lime, gypsum and stone, and the manufacture of concrete blocks, artificial stone, brick and paving blocks and the briquetting of coal.

Young, Canadian Johns Manville Co., Port Union. Looking Around The World By M. M. H. So the joint St. Lawrence Water- way Development, with Canada and the United States as partners, has once again. been killed by a com- mittee of the U.S. Congress. This decision will: be greatly regretted by the government of Canada, the government of Ontario, the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of On- tario ,the administration of New York State and a host of other im- portant public bodies. But Cana- dians were not pinning any great hope on the vroject being passed by Congress, They have seen it kill- ed by successive committees for over a quarter of a century now, and there were no great hopes that the 1951 committee would be any different from its predecessors. The United States may have cause to regret this action by the Con- gress committee, which dashed all hopes for a joint development on the St. Lawrence being approved this year. In fact, the members of Congress may, in the near future, be falling over themselves to carry out an agreement with Canada for carrying out the project. , " "The reason we feél that the Unit- ed States will regret this negative decision is that Canadians, in gov- ernment and out of government, are thoroughly fed up and disgusted at the dilly-dallying tactics of ,the country to the south in connection with the waterway scheme. They had high hopes that this year, with Truman's backing, Congress would reverse its attitude of the last 25 years and this year give the go- ahead signal. That hope having proved futile, there is a general dis- position on the part of Canadians who are interested in the project to take the bull by the horns and go ahead with-its construction as an all-Canadian - project, without any assistance from the United States. There was a time, in the days when the project was first mooted, when such a course would have been impossible. It would have been quits beyond the financial capability of the Canadian government and people. That same condition no longer exists. Canada is in an ex- cellent position, financially to un- dertake an 2ll-Canadian project and finance it by its own efforts. And the leaders of both the federal government and the Ontario gov=- ernment are quite strongly dispos- ed to going ahead alone on the St. Lawrence scheme. As we said in this column some weeks ago, definite action on the part of Canada to proceed with an all-Canadian project might arouse the United States to take an in- terest in being an active partner. That depends on whether the gov- ernment of Canada is serious in its desires to build the seaway regard- less, or whether its expression of that intention is merely a piece of bluff. In our opinion, it had better not be the latter. The people of Canada are ready to back their government in proceeding alone with the scheme. Therefore no time should be lost in furthering the plans to the point that construction can be started in the not too dis- tant future, e 35 Years Ago Mrs, Hastings, Celina Street, was seriously injured when she fell from a tree, landing on her head, while picking cherries.

EARLY MUSIC Earliest mention of the harpsi- chord in North America was in connection with a New York con- cert in 1726. Winnipeg, he was given a purse by Mac's Musings How thankful many will be That today sees the end Of work for a period of Two weeks' holidays, to be Spent away from the City's heat and dust. That feeling of thanks Has been intensified By the stifling heat Of the last two days, Which has created an Almost unbreathable Atmosphere in the room Where these words are being Whacked out listlessly On the typewriter, When the dog days come There is an irresistible Urge to get far away From the city streets And the city offices, And even a journey down To the lake shore where Cool breezes prevail Would provide surcease From this humid atmosphere. But holiday time is here For thousands in Oshawa, And it will be with Unrestrained pleasure That they will leave The hot streets of the city And make their way to Vacation haunts where they Will forget all about The sultry air here, and The heat of the factory, In loafing around in places Where there is room to breathe. Of course, all do not have The kind of holiday that Will make this possible, But on a day like today The prospect of it all Seems mighty inviting. RCN Vessels End Year In Korean War Ottawa--Canadian destroyers as- signed to Korean war duty with the United Nations Fleet steamed a total of 207,893 nautical miles, the equivalent of nearly 240,000 land miles, from July 5, 1950, to March 31, 1951. When on August 1 the destroyers complete a full year of participa- tion in the Korean campaign, they will have added considerably to that total. Five ships have contributed to the mileage figure -- the Cayuga, Sioux, Athabaskan, Nootka and Huron. There destroyers have been constantly maintained in Kor- ean waters for the past year, with two additional ships serving as reliefs. The first three RCN ships to serve under the UN flag -- the Cayuga, Sioux and Athabaskan -- sailed from Esquimalt, B.C. on July 5, 1950, and commenced oper- ations on August 1. HMCS Nootka left Halifax No- vember 25 and relieved the Sioux January 14. HMCS Huron sailed from Halifax January 22 and on March 15 replaced the Cayuga. The Sioux returned to the Far East in May to reliege the Atha- baskan and was follo six weeks later by the Cayuga, who took over from the Nootka. The mileage records show that HMCS Sioux covered 49,436 miles in the 214 days from when she left Esquimalt until she returned on February 4 of this year. This record surpasses by a substantial margin that established by the Sioux during her busiest period of the Second World War. "Up to March 31, the Cayuga had steamed 52,052 miles and the Athabaskan 56,660. The Nootka had covered 32,915 miles and the Huron 16,830. The Huron's total was compiled in the 68-day period between Janu- ary 22 and March 31. The Huron and HMCS Iroquois frequently operated together dur- ing 1943-44 operations. They saw service on the North Russian con- voy route, and in the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay with the crack 10th Destroyer Flotilla. During a 274-day period (Oct. 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944) the Huron covered 37,899 miles and the Iroquois 30,799. In 270 days of the Korean war, the Cayuga steamed 52,052 miles and the Athabaskan 56,660.

Nearly 10 years ago the Wartime Prices and Trade Board passed a regulation, Order 200, which classed a number of locations in the coun- try, including 45 in Ontario, as "congested areas." In these areas, it ordained, property owners could be empowered by rentals adminis- trators to let shared accommoda- tion even if local by-laws said their houses were to be restricted for one-.amily use. The order was followed without any trouble for years until a short while ago when local officials in London happened to come across it. They immediately raised the wind. They could see the order in- validating not only all their local planning by-laws, but also their building by-laws. The construction on the latter was that the order overrode all local by-laws and that if a property owner wanted to convert a dwelling into a duplex or triplex he could do so without get- ting a bullding permit, They got the city council aroused over this and it hurriedly sent off a resolution to the legislature rent committee asking that it be freed from the order, Once the committee considered the resolution it became apparent there was considerable misconcep- tion. Order 200 applied only to "shared" accommodation, which meant that an owner could rent room: in a zoned area. But he couldn't convert a dwelling without the consent of the local authorities. At the same time Gordon Hewitt, who has been deputy rentals ad- ministrator for the province for some time .and knows his way around the housing situation as well as anyone, strongly advocated that a lot of old dwellings in the province should be converted. He pointed out there were many fine old houses in the province in zoned areas which were too large for one family, but which were structurally sound and which would ease the housing situation if they "ere converted. The committee agreed with him and finally decided to leave the whole problem to him and his su- perior, J. J. Wingfelder, Ontarie ren*als administrator. In effect this means the order is »ack where it stood before the Lone don protest. The administrator has always had to give permission be= fore there could be a "sharing" under it. The sole result of the protest would seem to be there probably will be more pressure on local authorities to permit conver= sion of old houses. It would not be surprising to see the committee approve decontrol in a large number of areas in the province. Statistics it has been gathering show that while there are a large number of industrial centres which are in dire straits for houses there also are a number of others, including most rural dis« t.icts, where there is no shortage. It would be a logical step for these to be decontrolled. } ONR Shows Record Profit Taking North Bay (CP)-- Profits of the Ontario Northland Railway hit a record $868,087 during the first six months of 1951, General Manager A.
