DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION oy THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 1951 Community Chest Announcement by the Oshawa Community Chest executive that the objective for the 1951 Red Feather campaign has been fixed at $112,900, comes as a reminder that the annual appeal to the citizens of Oshawa for the funds necessary to carry on sixteen wel- fare, recreation and social agencies of the city and district will soon be in full swing. The dates announced for the actual cam- paign are October 24 to November 3, but from now until the opening date those in charge of the organization will be hard at work laying the foundation for a successful drive. : It is not surprising that the Community Chest executive has found it necessary to raise the objective by approximately ten per cent over that of last year. Only by careful scrutiny of the budgets of the 16 participat- ing organizations, and paring them down where it seemed necessary, has it been pos- sible to keep the objective down to the figure fixed. Every citizen of Oshawa knows that costs of materials and labor have risen consider- ably since the campaign of a year ago. These increases have, naturally, had their effect on the costs of operating the many services which are covered by the sixteen Red Feather organizations. Salaries have had to be in- creased, in accordance with living costs, and the prices paid for materials and supplies are all much higher than they were a year ago. On top of that, a large part of the increase in objective is due to the extension of the services and facilities of two of the important participating agencies, the Oshawa Boy Scouts Association and the Women's Welfare League. These two worthy organizations are now serving larger numbers of Oshawa young.people than ever before. The Women's Welfare League has built a large gymnasium and office building to increase its value to the community. Therefore it is natural that their allocation should be increased to take care of the additional work that they are doing, Oshawa has a proud reputation among Red Feather communities. It is the only com- munity in Canada which can boast that it has never failed to exceed its objective in a Community Chest campaign. With the knowl- edge which the people of Oshawa have of the splendid work being done by all of the participating agencies, there should be a fine spirit of enthusiasm behind the 1951 campaign, and a determination that once again this public-spirited city will go over the top. A Great Objective While the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization came into being primarily as a necessary defence measure to ward off Com- munist aggression, there are indications that in the years ahead it may develop into an international body with much greater scope, and with far-reaching effects on the hap- piness and welfare of its member states. This is envisaged in two speeches made at Ottawa, one by Dean Acheson, United States Secre- tary of State, and Herbert Morrison, United Kingdom Foreign Minister. In these speeches they foresaw the day when there would be a much closer unity between the nations now with the NATO group, a unity which would be effective in creating a better and more peaceful world. : In a radio speech, over a CBC network, Mr. Acheson said: j : "I think we can anticipate an increasing sense of community among the nations of Europe and North America. Our first aim is to develop a community in which the individual can be free from fear. Beyond this, we look forward to the day when a citizen from any one of our countries may travel freely and easily throughout the At-' lantic community, finding understanding and friendship, and enjoying the seme basic rights and opportunities as the people he visits." In an address to the Ottawa Canadian Club, Mr. Morrison went ever further when he said: ~ "Iam sure that we should look forward to the Di irfrN4 day when, in the fullness of time, there will be a common citizenship for all the peoples in the North Atlantic Community, with all the barriers to thought, travel, trade and understanding swept away." That is a great objective, visualized by the representatives of two great nations in dif- ferent words, but with the same ideals and thoughts. It is an objective with which we feel sure every Canadian will be in accord. If it can be attained, and it may not come quickly, it will do more than anythin 'he world has yet seen to bring men of all nations together in friendship and brotherhood. So long as the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion keeps working towards the attainment of that ideal, it will remain a great power for good in the world. British Election Called Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain has decided to put his government to the supreme test, a vote of the people. He has called a general election to be held on October 25. On that day, the people will decide whether they desire his government to re- main in office, or whether they will turn the reins of power over to Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime leader, and his Conserva- tive party. One cannot help feeling that Attlee's de- cision to hold a general election was inspired by the recent annual conference of the .rades Union Congress, held at Blackpool. At that conference, the left wing section of the Labor party, led by Aneurin Bevan, former British Minister of Health, made a determined attack on the policies of the gov- ernment. The left wing resolutions, directed at Attkee's policies, failed to carry, but the majority in some of them was so narrowsas to indicate that Bevan had greater support than was expected. Rather than wait for defection within his party becoming apparent in the House of Commons, Attlee has decid- ed to let the people decide. There is great difference of opinion in Britain as to the possible r «1 * of this ele tion. The Trades Unionists, some eight mil- lion strong, will probably remain loyal to the government, in spite of Bevan. But in the 1950 general election, Labor candidates secured some 13 million votes, indicating that there is substantial support from out- side the official Labor party. The result of the October 25 election will depend on whether these extra five million voters will stand by Attlee, or will switch their al- legiance to the Conservatives. . There is another important factor that will influence the decision. In the 1950 elec- tion, the Liberal party in scores of ridings, split the anti-Labor vote and allowed a minority Labor member to -be elected. The Liberal party today can practically be coun- ted out. It will not have the candidates, nor the support, which it had last year, and this should turn the scale, in many constitu- encies, in favor of Churchill supporters. The general expectation in Britain, in other than rabid Labor circles, is that Attlee's government will go down to defeat, but that the Conservative majority will be small. Even some of the Socialists would wel- come a government defeat, on the theory that no government can apply quick reme- dies for the grim conditions now existing in the country, and that, on a long-term basis, it would be better for Socialism to be defeat- ed, let Churchill and his party face the tasks of dealing with a perilous situation, in which it is believed by the Socalists it would fail, and thus pave the way for an overwhelming Socialist recovery in the following election. That is the thinking of many of Attlee's sup- porters, and it might not be so far astray, Editorial Notes Strange as it may seem, most of the people who spend lengthy holidays in Britain find their weight increased.

He has now reached 80 years of age, he has remarkable health (horse- back riding this week), he has made a significant contribution to his country and his time, and he has been able to give away $3 millions, We find his latest move, his foun dation for medical research, par=- ticularly impressive. Further advances in medicine can come only from two sources; re- search and better training of phy- sicians and surgeons. But researchers and teachers are notoriously ill-paid. Much of this work is now being done by men who get pittance for their research and teaching and who are then expect- ed to earn a living by running an ordinary medical practice in that part of the day left free--often only from the middle of the after- noon, Obviously this system needs fix- The R. 8. McLaughlin Foundation will do a lot to correct it. The genial General Motors chief has performed a magnificent public service in setting up a fund the income of which will be used to maintain doctors of distinction on work which is fundamental to the advance of the healing art. Scientists who would formerly have been lost to Canada will now be able to work here. Others, who, because of financial need, have hitherto been unable to indulge their flair for research will now be able to do so. While the portfolio is not reveal- ed, it is understood equities consti- tute a considerable proportion of the fund. So the real capital value of the fund can be expected to swell far beyond the $1,000,000 la- bel put on this wise and excellent gift. Hockey Stars As Legislators (Owen Sound Sun-Times) Walter Broda will be pleased to accept the Progressive-Conservae= tive nomination in the provincial riding of York West. Mr. Brodg is best known to Ca- nadians as "Turk." For many win- ters past he has spent his working hours standing between a pair of iron pipes, and kicking rubber away from the net. e is very adept at this art. Whether that qualifies him to represent the people of York West in the provincial legislature is another question entirely. It is easy, of course, to regard Mr. Broda's interest in politics as the result of his struggle with age and weight. He has fought a valiant battle against both, but the former fight he is bound to lose. It is easy to see the possibil- ity of his securing the Progressive- Conservative party's nomination as evidence of that party's hunt for votes and to maintain that the par ty is not interested in Broda's abili- ty as a legislator but only in his popularity. Howie Meeker's recent by-election victory has set a pattern for vote-getting, it may be argued, and Meeker's bid for political fame. may be seen as the direct result of earlier successes by Liberals Bucko McDonald and Lionel Conacher. When we read that another can- didate for the Progressive-Conser- vative nomination in York West is W. Elmer Brandon, and that Mr. Brandon is reeve'of Swansea, war- den of York County and a barrister, we may be tempted to conclude that if Broda gets the nomination it will be proof that the party is just interested in vote-snatching, in any person who can defeat Charles H. Millard, the present CCF member and a thorn in the flesh of the Frost Government. Home and School Association Holds Meeting MRS. MARY M. DYER Correspondent Columbus--The.Home and School Association held their first meeting of the season in the school with the new president, Mrs. Alan Mc- Kenzie, presiding. There were sev- enteen members and several guests in attendance. During the business portion of the meeting plans were made for the bazaar which will be held on the 21st of November. Mrs. M. McLean, the program commit- tee took charge. There was a dance number by Carolyn Powell, Shirley Kellar and Betty Gibson with Mrs. Evans at the piano. Larry McLean favored with an accordion select ion and a contest was conducted by Mrs. Flemming, A lovely lunch was served at the close of the meeting. Our next meeting will be held on Oct. 9th, one and all are welcome, Mr. and Mrs. George McKenzie and girls, Guelph, were week-end guests at Mr. and Mrs. A. C, Mc- Kenzie. Mr. Ronald Flett, Malton, spent Sunday at home. Mr, and Mrs. Jack Nesbitt left on Friday to make their new home in Guelph. Jack was transferred from Oshawa plant to Guelph. Mrs. I. E. Chapman, of Orono, is visiting her consin, Mrs, "T. "Cook at the present time. Harvest is pretty well completed in this community but the weather- man is making an anxious time for those who still have grain in the fields. The Rev. Roy Rickard of Pal- merston takes up his duties at. Col- umbus Church in the near future. Such a conclusion would be na- tural--but we suggest too - hasty. There is nothing about a hockey player's skills that qualify him for the position of a legislator--but at the same time there is no reason why a man cannot be both a good politician and a good athlete. There is every reason why some of our legislative bodies should be barris- ters, like Mr. Brandon--but there appear to us to be overwhelmingly reasons why all, or even a majority, of the members should not be law- yers. In fact, we think that most people will agree that there are too many lawyers in the House of Commons and the Legislature al- ready. There is no reason why some of the members should not be union leaders, like Mr. Millard-- but many reasons why they should not all be union chieftains. Right now, we suggest, what is needed in both the House of Com- mons and the Legislature, are a few more clients and a few less lawyers, union members instead of union leaders, more employees and fewer employers, hired hands in- stead of leading agriculturists. A House or Legislature composed en- tirely of clients, union members, employees and hired hands would unquestionably make a mess of the country's business, but a few of them could give balance to the House and prove valuable. The twouble is that few men of this type could get elected. Hockey players like Broda can. And Turk might do a valuable job of interpreting the viewpoint of the "little man." we sald "might."

Those who scan closely The pages of their newspaper Must be impressed with The extent of the work For people of all ages Being done by the many Organizations which exist For the public benefit. These are only possible Because there are hundreds Of citizens in Oshawa Imbued with a spirit which Impels them to expend their Time and energy freely, And often their money, too, In their efforts to meet The needs of young people, Of those in distress, Of the blind, the aged And the infirm in our midst, We, are a fortunate city In the quality of citizenship Shown by those people Who give leadership to Many community movements, Without which we would have A community without a soul, A dead place with no people Looking forward to a Brighter and better future. It is to help these people In their voluntary efforts In which they expand Themselves freely that Each year a campaign is Held to provide funds for The Community Chest, to Which all our people Give freely knowing that Their money is being Invested in citizenship. e Readers Views SCHOOL BOY'S APPEAL The Editor, The Times-Gazette: I am a boy--six years of age-- My name is Jimmy Adams I'm everything a boy should be-- And they say I'm full of atoms.

All Rights Reserved INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Speculation Toronto -- From now on whether the election is held this fall or nex spring a favored pastime will be speculation on election chances. It is unlikely there will be much along this line in this space, how- ever, ; Time and experience have shown that very rarely can one guage an election very closely. There are numerous professional politicians who very profoundly will tell you the way they figure it their party will get 51 seats or 62 seats or some such precise number but very seldom are they basing their prognostication on more than wish- ful thinking, There are too many imponder- ables in an election for anyone un- less he has some miraculous gift of foresight to be able to tell just what is going to happen in each of the 90 seats. Aside from the issues themselves, whatever they may be, there is the personality of the candidates, the effectiveness of their machines, even weather -- if it happens to be a bad day it can react against one cindidate more than others. Our memory doesn't recall one instance in which a professional party organization has been nearly right at all in its election pre- dictions. We remember in '45 when Mr. Drew swept the province his own workers were very far off the beam in their expectations. They were talking of winning about 50 seats, instead of the 68 with which they finally were returned. Again in '48 they were talking of taking more than 60 seats, instead of the 53 they now hold. In our whole life we have only two men who have been able to forecast elections at all correctly. One was an advertising sales- man. In 45 he called the govern- ment for 67 seats. Nobody knew how he did it, and he couldn't ex- On Election plain himself except to say he was around the country a lot and got "the feel". The other is A.A. MacLeod the LPP member. He consistently has shown the ability to appraise an election situation. Ts In '45 we remember Mac telling us that the government would back with more than 65 seats. "48 we recall he said they would probably have 52. But his most noteworthy feat, to us, was in the last federal election. In that vote when even the most optimistic Liberal hopes were forecasting a possible 150 seats Mac is the one man we know who really foretold the extent of their victory. Ten days before the election he told us the government would be returned with more than 180 seats, which of course to everybody's surprise they were. ® 30 Years Ago A. R.
