DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JULY 10,284 THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1951 Swimming Safety Ontario newspapers, have for the past month or six weeks, carried many tragic stories of young people being drowned while boating or swimming. At the weekends, par- ticularly, the toll of life has been heavy. And the most tragic feature of this sad story is that the great majority of these deaths have been caused by a flagrant disregard of habits of safety and care while enjoying Canada's most pleasant summer pastime. So far as mishaps while swimming are concerned, these can be avoided entirely by paying: atention to a few very simple rules. Being an expert swimmer is not enough. At- tention to the following rules is also essen- tial if drowning accidents are to be avoided. 1. Never go in swimming alone. 2, Never go swimming in unfamiliar waters, or waters that have not been ex- plored for unseen hazards. ) 3. Avoid the possibility of cramps by not entering the water for at least an hour after meals. 4. Never venture farther from shore than your ability to swim will justify. These are simple rules, yet they may make all the difference between life and death, between coming home refreshed from a happy outing, or being carried back a life- less corpse, Taking chances is not worth while. Far too often they result in tragedy. Careless Picnickers It is deplorable, in roaming around the Ontario countryside, to notice how often the beauty of the landscape is marred by thoughtless people, who, when out on picnics, never think to clear away the refuse they have created. Even at the lunching places provided by the Ontario government along the provincial highways, although large garbage receptacles are provided, one sees the all-too familiar signs of the careless individuals who leave paper, cardboard boxes and tin cans strewn on the ground when they go on their way. This is especially true of the picture of disorder and littered filth which one sees at popular summer resorts, especially after the weekend crowd has come and gone. No matter how carefully the authorities place containers for refuse, there are those people who are either too lazy or too thoughtless to use them when they have finished a pic- nic meal. It appears that, because they are away from home, and are not using their own property, all thoughts of neatness and tidiness vanish from their minds. Yet we imagine that if some stranger were to come along and deposit papers, tin-cans, empty bottles and other debris on their lawns, they would raise considerable protest against it. People should remember that others will be following them to use these places, and should take scrupulous care to leave them just as clean and tidy as they would like to find them on their arrival. It takes only a few minutes to clean up after a picnic meal, but it is time well spent, because it shows not only a sense of cleanliness, but also some consideration for others. Paying for Ideas Considerable publicity has been given to the fact that during the last year, the Gen- eral Electric Company paid out a total of $375,000 to its employees for ideas which have helped to improve production methods. Since it began this plan some 20 years ago, it is stated, the company has paid out such awards to a total of over $3,218,000. The highest individual award paid out amounted + to $2,185, but many hundreds of awards ranging from $25 to $75 have been included in the list. The General Electric Company is not, of course, the only industrial concern which . makes a practice of paying rewards for ideas 'which can be adopted in production pro- cesses. For years, the Generat---Motqrs of Canada has allowed the same practice, and many Oshawa employees of the company have received substantial payments in re- turn for making their ideas available. The company has, of course, also bengfitted from the use of these ideas. The main thing, how- ever, is that employees are given every en- couragement to use their initiative and in- genuity in working out suggestions for the mutual benefit of themselves and their em- ployers. : There can be no question that the ex- istence of such a reward plan is a great in- centive to the workers to take a keener in- terest in the manufacturing processes in which they are engaged. Commenting on this, the Christian Science Monitor says: "Paying for proposals of better ways of doing things contributes in many companies to general improvement, quality of product and savings, Cheaper manufacturing is one of the funda. mentals. It also tends to make many employees think more about their work, and to feel more that they are a part of the plant. It frequently serves to develop good will and to foster better employee relations." The usefulness of the reward plan to in- dustry can be judged from the fact that at the beginning of 1951, General Motors of Canada expanded its scheme of awards con- siderably, and increased the amounts speci- fied to be paid, This is conclusive proof that it is a practice which is very much worth while. Serving Tourists One of the finest pieces of public service being performed in Oshawa is that which has been undertaken by the Junior Cham- ber of Commerce, in the operation of a Tour- ist Information Bureau on the eastern out- skirts of the city. This service is now in its second year, and it has been so well done that its fame has spread far and wide where- ever tourists travel. The grateful thanks of visitors, especially travellers from the United States, are 'expressed daily for the assistance given them through this enter- prise of the Junior Chamber. Those who are accustomed to spending their holidays on motor tours can best ap- preciate the value and tHe benefit of a courteous and well-informed service to guide motorists along the way. There are scores of questions which arise to perturb the minds of tourists, questions of accommo- dation, of eating places, of garages for cer- tain makes of cars, of roads and road con- ditions, of the location of certain places it is desired 'to visit. To find a bueau estab- lished on the roadside equipped to answer all these questions in a friendly and courteous manner leaves a splendid impres- sion in the minds of visitors. Oshawa's reputation for hospitality has been greatly enhanced by this activity which is being carried on by the Jaycees. These young men have shown a desire to serve their community in a very practical way, and they are to be commended for their persistence in keeping at the task until it has attained the status of a highly useful services. Editorial Notes August brings with it two important events--the Oshawa Fair and the Canadian National Exhibition.

It has been more or less a deserted community for the past week or so. ® Other Editors' Views eo HOCKEY PLAYER'S RIGHTS (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) Nearly everyone interested in hockey will agree with the contention that the system of ownership, running all the way through the various leagues, is a violation of the personal rights which should belong to the individual player hut whether anything will ever be done about if is a different matter, There are too many interested and organized on the one side while on the other there is no organization. ® A Bit of Verse @ A LITTLE WORK A little work, a little play, To keep us going--and so, good-day!

By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer Suwon, Korea (CP) -- Kang Ki- Sok sprang from the stinking fibre that was his '"'bed" on the "hospi- tal" floor. He interrupted the conversation going on with the patient in the next 'bed' -- 33 - year - old Chang Yong-8ik. Chang had been telling how he came to occupy his corner of the foul, open-ended warehouse that had been turned into a hos- pital. He had been choosing his words carefully. Infuriated by the near-double- talk, his neighbor exploded: "What he is trying to tell you is that we hate the United Nations. "When we were turned out of our homes and hiding places the Unitéd Nations promised us food, and clothing, and medicine, and said accommodation was ready for us, Now we are treated like this. Koreans look after their ani- mals better." The angry Kang, once a res- taurateur with his own business, and feeble Chang were among the more than 300 North Koreans in the hospital--improvised in emer- gency conditions by a Canadian Red Cross worker, Jack Purves«of Cranbrook, B.C. In a kidnap operation on a gi- gantic scale, the U.N. military command here has evacuated at least 120,000 North Koreans from their homes north of the 38th parallel, most from the Chorwon- Kum Hwa-Unchon 'Iron triangle." A further 230,000 persons were evacuated from the front-line areas south of the parallel. Military necessity was given as the reason. The sick were sheltered in places like this barn. An estimated 90 per cent of the evacuees were mal- nutrition cases of one degree or another. The move was not organized. The United Nations Civil Assist- ance Command was given no in- formation on which to plan, Rice for Seoul province's normal requirements has been running short at the rate of 5% metric tons monthly since March.

Yet Seoul city's 1200-bed city College Hospital, one of the largest and best equipped in Asia, is un- available. It was requisitioned by the military command for other purposes. Says Purves: "We've been driven to improvise emergency set-ups in old buildings, disused stables, bombed-out ware- houses -- anywhere we can get them out of sun and rain, "The job-boils down to finding these people food, clothing and shelter wherever possible." On squares of sodden fibre-sack- ing on the puddle-ridden concrete floor more than 300 dirty, dishevel- lel Koreans like Kang and Chang, in varying stages of sickness and starvation - recovery, sprawled around under blankets, squares of cotton padding or cast-off over- coats shipped from North America by volunteer relief agencies.

There is no allocation of vegetables or kimchi, the pickled - salad side- dish traditional in the Korean diet and source of their vitamin and protein nourishment. Purves has arranged a supple- mentary ration of powdered milk and vitamin tablets, boils it with the rice into a gruel and his pa- tients get a cast - off beer - canful three times a day. Purves in this one warehouse has put 222 moribund malnutrition cases back on their feet again. But 27 died. Most of the North Koreans, though hungry in their homes and dugouts -- in which they were hiding alike from the Chinese Com- munists and United Nations air strikes and artillery -- would ra- ther have stayed where they were. They complied without demur on promise of good treatment.

RE GAZETTE EDITORIAL PAGE "Competing Lines" MILE A SECOND SPEED IS SET BY U.S. ROCKET White Sands, NM. (AP)--Jubi- lant rocket experts, flushed with yesterday's soaring success, talked today of new assaults on the rocket altitude record. They sent the seventh American Viking rocket ever fired swoosh- ing 135 miles up into a hasy New Mexico sky yesterday for a world record. ; Milton Rosen, head of the rocket project for the naval research la- boratory, put it this way: "We've worked a long time for this and we're awfully happy. But we're never satisfied with any altitude." He said that Viking No. 8 -- the eighth in a series of 10 rockets -- already is being constructed. Firing is expected early next year. Yesterday's flight almost straight up was breathtaking to watch, but no more so than the figures on what the rocket did: It reached a top speed of 4100 miles an hour -- more than a mile a second. It took only four minutes, 23 seconds to set the record. You could get to the moon in less than 60 hours at that speed. The 135 miles cracked by 21 miles the previous single - stage rocket record set Dec. 17, 1946, by 3 rebuilt German V-2, also fired ere. . It was more than 27 miles better " |than the American rocket record set Nov. 21 by Viking 5. Rosen credited Dr. Ralph Havens, 41-year-old physicist in charge of atmospheric physics and measuring instruments here, with the bit of extra oomph needed to break the record. Dr, Havens or- dered that the missile be refuelled after a delay evaporated 20 per cent of the liquid oxygen. The oxy- gen evaporates at about 20 pounds a second in the hot desert sun. The greatest height ever reached by a rocket is 250 miles, a mark recorded Feb. 24, 1949, by a mid- get rocket fired about 20 miles in the air from the nose of a V-2. ® 30 Years Ago Board of Education asked the town council for an appropriation of $10,000 for portable schools to meet overcrowding, Estate of the late Charles R.

All Rights Reserved INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Scandals at the Tracks Toronto -- The big horse-racing scandal hasn't hit here yet. The investigation has been con- ducted entirely under the direction of the Racing Commission under former Te Bigelow and so far as is known no one here has much more dope on it than the general public. It 'wouldn't be surprising though when the full findings of the in- quiry are announced to find the activities of the betting ring have been going on for some years. There have been rumors for a long time of shenannigans on the Ontario tracks, Many of these, of course, can be taken as the rumors which inevitably surround all horse racing. However, in this case they appeared to have some truth, And Premier Frost, it may be re- membered, inferred when he ap- pointed the commission a year and a half ago that everything mightn't be quite so hunky-dory on the tracks. It is quite conceivable that the commission knew this and has been biding its time while the cul- prits were taking enough rope to string themselves up. It might seem strange that bad conditions could have been per- mitted to exist for such a long time without any steps to prevent them. But it should be remember- ed there was an unhappy ex- perience in the thirties when there was an attempt to prosecute some Jockeys and others for race fixing which failed. It is an extremely difficult job to get evidence which will hold up in court on a matter of this kind. Necessarily it must rest a great deal on testimony of witnesses and unless there is a very tight case this can't be: depended on too much. Witnesses have an under- standable desire to keep their skins as intact as possible, and with characters of the concerned in the fixing rings isn't al- ways possible. In the past in simi. lar circumstances in other juris- dictions key Witesse} in such pro- ceedings have been found floating in rivers with their eyes towards fe sky but not capable of seeing There is good reason to believe under the circumstances that the commission has been holding eff, waiting atiently until it really had e gi A Mr, Bigelow before taking on the chairmanship had the reputation of being one of the finest magis- trates in Toronto's history and one can see him following this tactic where lesser men might have acted too soon, If this is the case the findings when they are brought out should be a sensation. They should be a thorough job and cover a wide field. Already there have been in. dications that some of the more famous, or notorious, figures in the province are involved and that the ring stretches across the border. Even now at least one thing has been proven. This is that the com- mission and the small expenditure it represents to the province are fully justified. In this one act of cleaning up the tracks it has earned many times its cost.

The . problem was underlined Tuesday when Health Minister Martin told a press conference that Ottawa is the only Canadian city of more than 50000 persons which has not named a C.D. co-ordinator, and announced that the government has decided to go ahead and ap- point one of its own for federal buildings and employees here. A few hours later he disclosed that the man is Lt.-Col. W. J. Mac- Callum, who will assume the new duties In addition to those he has as senior training officer of the federal C.D. staff for all Canada. Once the city acts, Mr. Martin said, the federal plan for Otfawa will be integrated with and made subordinate to the city framework.
