DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JULY 10,284 FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1951 ad Direct ad Last Summer Holiday Monday brings the last summer holiday of 1951 -- Labor Day. During the whole of the coming weekend, the highways of On- tario will be crowded with motor vehicles. Many families will be coming home from their summer cottages, so that the children can return to school Tuesday. Many others will be going off for the last weekend ex- cursion of the summer. With this, there will be a large influx of automobile traffic from the United States, since this is the one sum- mer holiday which is common to both coun- tries. We look to this weekend, therefore, with "a large measure of apprehension. Each holi- day weekend this summer has seen a ter- " yible toll of life taken on the highways of Ontario. The Labor Day weekend will be no different. In fact, on account of the greater concentration of automobile traffic on the highways, it would be reasonable to expect an even higher toll this week than was the case for the Dominion Day and Civic Holi- day weekends. Everyone knows there will be many acci- dents and fatalities in the next three days. It should therefore be the aim of every per- son driving a car to make dead sure that his car will not be one of those involved. This can be done by observing speed limits and following practices of safety. Drivers should keep a reasonably safe distance be- hind the cars in front, so as to avoid crash- ing into one of them should it stop suddenly. There have been many bad accidents on Highway 2A this summer because of cars running into others ahead of them. That, however, is only one instance of how to drive safely. Every car driver is familiar with the traffic laws. They are framed to safe- guard the public from accidents. If they were observed at all times, there would be very few accidents. Motorists who wish to return home safely after their weekend outing will be careful and cautious inl their driving. The others, or many of them will probably figure in next Tuesday's casualty lists. Back to School Monday will be the last day of the sum- mer holidays for the school children of Osh- awa. On Tuesday they will be returning to their studies, refreshed by a long summer of play and recreation. The majority will be taking up their studies where they left off last June, but advancing into higher grades and facing new teachers. Many will be mak- ing the jump from public school to collegiate institute, and with bated breath entering the imposing doorways of the OCVI or the CCI. And to some of the wee toddlers, Tues- day will bring that awe-provoking event, the first day at school. Looking away back over the years to our own schooldays, we remember with what mixed emotions at meeting new teachers, of facing advanced steps in the process of edu- cation. Yet there was the joy of meeting again the schoolmates of the previous year, of comparing notes on holiday experiences, and of meeting new friends among those coming to that particular school for the first time. One cannot help thinking back to these days without having a feeling of envy of the children of today, who attend schools of the most modern type, with equipment and edu- cational aids which were never dreamed of in these bygone years. They have before them opportunities . for self-improvement which far surpass those of past generations. But, after all, they are just the same kind of children. They will think the same kind of thoughts, perform fhe same kind of mis- chevious pranks, and pester their teachers with the same kind of restlessness and inat- tention as we of a former generation did. Yet, in these days it is good to be young, it is good to be going back to school, with all that it holds in the form of education . . v4 for the lives that lie ahead of all the young scholars who will return to their studies on Tuesday. Free Ride to Church Many persons fail to attend church. and Sunday school during the summer months, and many others fail to attend at any time of the year. In some parts of the United States, bus companies have adopted an un- usual method of trying to encourage delin- quent church goers to attend the services of worship. The Ohio Valley Bus Company has an- nounced that it is going to provide free bus service for people who wish to attend church and have no other means of transportation. All the passenger has to do on boarding the bus is to tell the driver, "I am going to Sun- Then the trip will not cost the worshipper a cent. The president of the bus company gave this as his reason for the free bus rides to churchz "We feel there is a need for people to get back to church -- any church. This is our contribu- tion." This is not the only bus company in the United States rendering this service. It is reported that the residents of Wayne, Fort Gay, Lavalette and other West Virginia com- | munities served by bus lines are all receiving this free church ride every Sunday morning. There is something highly commendable about this idea, and the bus companles which Have inaugurated it are to be con- gratulated on the desire they have shown to make it easier for many people to attend church services. The plan is one which will doubtless spread. Perhaps it may eventually come to Canada, and we might have the Oshawa Street Railway, some day, announc- ing free rides to church on its buses.

A news item says that to en- have governors on their auto engines, a Massachu- setts highway official suggests that gearing down to a 40-mile maximum should entitle the owner to insurance at half the present rate, a B80-mile mile governor would call for doubling the rate and an additional registration fee of $50 per year. o A Bit of Verse @ SHADOW ONLY The doe stands, A shadow only, A quiver in the thicket, An intent aloneness, Watching the riders Who come down singing, Not even noticing Her track at the spring.

Where's the Next Show, Joe? --McClanahan, in the Dallas News INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Toronto Seats Looms Large Toronto -- A lot of importance in the next election is going to centre on Toronto. The 17 city and district ridings will have pH of weight in the outcome of the election. If Mr, Frost is going to be returned in good strength it is almost essential that he take more than the four seats he now holds. There are a few government seats in the province which are regarded as almost certain losses and if it has to have any comfort- able margin it will have to balance these with some of the Toronto seats. At the time of writing P.C. circles are quite optimistic about being able to do this, ) They class the big sweep of the CCF in the city in 1948 as much the fault of their own inertia as anything. The P.C. group at that time in Toronto was a pretty lack- lustre bunch, They had a lot of old-time campaigners who had lost both their public appeal and any vital interest in winning their seats. Most of the government condi- dates had held their seats for some time and showed obvious signs of political ennui. A number of them had become quite convinced they couldn't be beaten and their cam- paigning reflected this. A lot of the same crowd are still around and looking for spoils but the indications are that most of them will be replaced before the election. This is a ticklish business, of course. Most of them have a strong grip on their riding organizations and have the backing to pack the conventions in their favor. It is recognized, however, that this time the Toronto seats are so important that the provincial organization will step in and throw its weight against them. Though there may be the odd case where this mightn't be enough to swing the balance, in most of the ridings the officials figure it will be enough. With good candidates in the field it seems likely the government will be able to take back most of the ridings. Opinion polls and whatever other indications one can get to show the CCF has made a drastic drop in support since the 1948 vote and except for the odd seat .it shouldn't be an important threat. The Liberals have been weak in the city recently and at the mo- ment there isn't a riding that one is inclined to put in their book. Under Mr. Thomson's leadership they may come up with some good candidates, however, and if so they could seriously contend for a few of the metropolitan seats. Map Makers Work Fast To Keep Up With Changes By MERRILL SWEDLUND Indianapolis (AP) -- This hectic world has been changing so fast that map makers here are busier than they have been for many years. One of the leading map publish- ers in the United States, the George F., Cram Company, has made at least 28 major changes in its world maps since the Second World War started, and the major poate treaties are still up in the But Cram's map men don't sit around waiting for diplomats to draw new international boundaries in permanent, legal lines. "When it becomes evident an occupation is going to stick, we go ahead with our changes," said E. A. Peterson, a map salesman who became president of the 84-year-old firm, For instance, when Japan seized Manchuria in 1932, Cram's changed their maps to show it as Man- chukuo, a Japanese satellite, with- out waiting for international con- firmation. : The same maps long ago re- stored . the name fo Manchuria, showing it once more part of China. The map men simply check- ed the terms of the Japanese sur- render in 1945 so their maps would be up-to-date during the years of stalemate on a formal peace treaty. EUROPE IS "HEADACHE" Poland came out of the Second Worl" War as "an awful head- ache" for the men who draw maps. They had to check the Potsdam agreement, a Russian-Polish treaty and official maps because most of its boundaries were revised. International boundaries had been comparatively constant when the Second World War started. But as the conflict began to promise new boundary changes the map makers were dismayed by a slump in business. To stimulate sales, Cram's sold globes with coupons, promising to send out patches for 10 cents to bring globes up to date after peace treaties set new boundaries. Since the war, Cram's has re- ceived 50,000 coupons, but the dip- lomatic stalemates have turned their offer into a long-term agree- ment. As they promised, they'll wait for treaty-established bounda- ry changes, so far as the globes are concerned. Ballet Fans Stand In Line All Night London (CP) -- Sports events aren't the only things that attract all-night queues in Britain. Ballet is claiming larger audiences with each season, making seats harder to obtain. Some 50 eager fans stood in line all night when the famous Sadler's Wells group opened at Covent Garden. Three of the en- thusiasts dozed on camp beds while another brought along a stretcher. Help control the cost of living by spending wisely! You can help control the rising cost of living by buying only those things you really need @® The goal of every Canadian family should be to get out of debt as soon as possible and save for future needs. Eighty-five percent of HFC loans are made to pay old bills, taxes or house payments, for repairs, medical ex- penses, education or to meet similar emergencies.

DYER Correspondent e Readers Views CRITICISM CRITICIZED Editor, The Times-Gazette, Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Dear Sir, If the criticism of Mr. Brock Brace i» in any way remark- able it is for the fact that its cul- mination results in a self criticism rather than an objective criticism of the Habsburg Collection, Were Vermeer, Tiepolo, Moroni, Rembrandt, Hals and Rubens alive today, it is felt that they would be sedately flattered by the admission of Mr. Brace that their paintings were "worth more than a second glance." This condescension on the part of Mr. Brace is only exceeded by his vituperance when it comes to Ben- venuto Cellini, whose craftsman- ship in metal has been admired not only by connoisseurs but by a some- what art appreciative public for close on 400 years. As for the monetary value of the Collection, it might be wise to bear in mind that Lloyds would hardly grant insurance on art {treasures over their market value. They are businessmen not philanthropists. "erhaps Mr. Brace is an admirer of the "ultra-modern" school of art and consequently prefers his eggs couchant, his watches limpid and his nudes a la Picasso. Failing this "blithesome state" then perhaps he will admit to being an iconoclast, on general principles, thereby prov- ing the necessity of putting into immediate action the recommen- dations of the Massey Commission on Culture? In their support of art, the Habs- burgs aided the artists -- they were not forced into the degredation of having to design pink bathrooms or eau de nil yo-yos as is so very com- mon in this age of materialism, and "enlightenment."

August 28, 1951, e 35 Years Ago e Casualty lists contained the names of many Oshawa soldiers killed, wounded and taken prisoner. They included some members of the 116th Battalion. Mayor G. D, Conant offered 50 acres of land near the harbor io a beet sugar company seeking to es- tablish a plant here. An Ontario County Good Roads Association was organized, with Mayor Lapp of Uxbridge, president, and Mayor G. D. Conant, of Osh- awa, vice-president. Seven rooms of the new school on Centre Street are ready for oc- cupation at the opening of the new school term. The 182nd Battalion, CEF, was transferred from Heydenshire Park, Whitby to Niagara-on-the-Lake for further training. Columb The August meeting of the Women's Association was held in the church with Mrs. T. Flett president, in the chair. The meeting was opened with a verse and a hymn was sung after which the W.A, Prayer was read in unison. The scripture was read by Mary Dyer. Lesson thoughts were given by Mrs, D. Dyer and Mrs, T.
