MCINTYRE HOOD, Managing Bditor. a SUBSCRIPTION RATES Ottawa, ; DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for SEPTEMBER 10,897 MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1981 Oshawa Progress Oshawa has passed another milestone in growth and development. Two years ago, when annexation of the adjacent suburban .area became a live issue, it was freely pre- 'dicted that within a few years' time this city 'would reach a population mark of 40,000. Figures of the city assessor, issued on Satur .day, show that in the first year of annexa- tion, that figure has been left well behind, " 'with the population now listed as 40,717. This represents an increase of 2,820 over the estimated figure of the combined populations of Oshawa and the annexed portions of East Whitby a year ago. This remarkable record of growth is a "tribute to the progressiveness of the city of Oshawa, its industries and its business and 'commercial establishments, Part of the ins "erease is due to the large number of birth's "sn the city, likely to exceed 1,000 for the year 1951. The balance is due to the influx of new families, brought here because the breadwinner has found employment in the : city. All of them are welcome, because they *¥nake their contribution to the city's pro- gress and wellbeing. The report of the assessor also shows a _yemarkable increase in the city's assessment. "After annexation, the assessment of the eity was quoted as being $41,192,480. The total -of the 1951, just issued by the assessor, is $45,249,175, an inncrease in assessment of approximately ten per cent. This reflects the building activity which has reached a high Jevel in Oshawa during the last year, and which has been responsible for this substan- .tial' addition to the taxable property of . Oshawa. "**' Thus in population and in property values, Oshawa has in the year 1951 made progress _that is worthy of note. The city has reached ! the point at which this progress should con- : tinue at a highly satisfactory level. With i abundant space for expansion in its area of : nearly 14,000 acres, opportunities and sites i for new industrial establishments, and for { the expansion of those already existing here, 2 Oshawa should, within a very few years, be : up to the status of a city of 50,000 people, all working together in harmony for the coms mon good of the community and sll its people. Truman With Canada 3, President Truman evidently has a much =more realistic appreciation of the need for Zan immediate start on the St. Lawrence "Waterway development than those of the Zmembers of Congress who voted against a "joint project in partnership with Canada, "He has stated flatly that he would support =a proposal for Canada to build the seaway as Za one-nation project if it could not be start- _ed soon as a joint Canada-United States de- velopment. : That statement by the President of the 3 United States would appear to clear the way i for Canada to go ahead with plans for the :St. Lawrence project. Naturally he would : orefer a joint development. So would the -government of Canada. But in view of the iyears of fruitless negotiations and of at- : tempts to have a seaway bill passed through * Congress, it has become hopeless to expect 2United States participation. : Truman's support of the plan is important, since development of the power phases of the jscheme by the state of New York and the : Province of Ontario depends on presidential approval. It will be necessary for him to place the matter before the inernational joint commission on boundary waters to give sits approval to the plans, and it is not ex- ; pected that any objections would arise from that body. The Truman announcement, therefore, is fof great significance, and gives rise to the hope that some definite announcement will soon be forthcoming from the Canadian tgovernme as to its intentions. No one "Would be more pleased to see that announce- ment than Robert. H. Saunders, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, who sees in the St. Lawrence ---scheme the only rémaining source of power on a large scale for the province of Ontario. Canada Savings Bonds For the sixth successive year, the govern- ment of Canada is giving to the people of this country the opportunity to 'invest in Canada Savings Bonds through a plan of payroll deduction. This method of saving money has grown in popularity with the people of Canada since thé days when it be- came effective in the sale of Victory Bonds during the war. It was because'of the public response to the payroll deduction of saving money by buying Victory Bonds that the government, at the elose of the war, decided to issue Canada Savings Bonds, through which systematic saving could be effected, on the one hand, and the government enabl- ed to borrow money from its own people, on the other. ! One cannot commend 'too highly this method of practising the virtues of thrift "| and saving, It is a method which can be adopted by people of small incomes just as easily as those with larger pay envelopes. In fact, because the amount of bonds which ¢an be bought by one individual is strictly limited, it becomes essentially a savings plan for working people. The Savings Bond campaign in industries has been started this week, and all local employees will be given an opportunity to subseribe for bonds, in denominations as low as $60, through regular payroll deductions of as much as they feel they can set aside for savings. The response from Oshawa workers has always been on a large scale, It is hoped that this year, again, thousands of them will be persuaded to Adopt this easy method of saving money for future needs. Editorial Notes It is costing the city of Peterborough $858 to secure a new coat of arms. Oshawa's com- mittee had better investigate the costs here before going too far.

(Bowmanville Statesmhan) More young men are interested now in staying on the farm. Mechanization has done away with much of the back-breaking labor $hat used to make a farmer old before his time. Farmers have found ways of sharing with their sons the rewards of their labor, either through partherships, shares in farm profits or through mutually-satisfactory wage ar- rangements, New methods of farming have helped to put more money in the farmer's pockets. That has led to most farms having labor-saving equipment, good furnish Ings and eomforts formerly available mainly in eity homes, as well as providing opportunities for leisure énd entettainment. All these changes have also given young farmers new outlets for their ambition. ' BRITISH IMMIGRATION (Edmonton Journal) British immigration must always be of first im- portance to Canada, but it is not enough. Even under the most favorable eiroumstances, however, immigra- tion from Britain is not likely to be sufficient to secure this country the increase in population it needs in the next decade or two to develop its re- sources and build up its national strength. To fill the - gaps, Canada will have to look to those countries of western Europe which have large surplus populations. Past experience suggests that, as long as reasonable precautions are taken in the annual rate of intake, and in the selection of individuals, we have nothing to fear from this open door polio \ . ; ® A Bit of Verse o PROCRASTINATION Tomorrow you will live, you always ery; In what far country does this morrow le, That 'tis so mighty long ere it arrive?

What an eye-opener it turned out to be. Here--with only 15 million people --we lead the world in many fields of endeavor. In our short history, we have become a great world pow- er, Canada--once & mere colony with a small and scattered popula- tion, dependent on others for her defence--is now a great world pow- er and at the same time the granary of the old world. What worked this marvel? Re- member, all the wealth was here for centuries before, The Indians knew Canada well--but they were poor indeed, financially. When the pioneers landed oh Canadian shores there were no houses, no roads, no fields of grain. Courage and a wiilingness to work built this country. Year by year settlers arrived to take up land, and to make that land pro- ductive. 'They fought rust and frost that could wipe out a whole year's work, but they kept at it. Soon little towns grew up, then cities, then rallroads and high- ways. The story runs to a pattern of enthusiasm creating wealth, Ideas were tools that, given a turn, be- came new ana arresting. Timothy Eaton was only a small shopkeeper, like any other shopkeeper, but he had a dream of a bigger shop and better methods. He hadn't wealth to do it, just an idea and a will to work to make it succeed. So he made one of the great merchandis- ing concerns of the world. Yet he wasn't unique, He didn't crowd out others. Hundreds of smaller stores in Canadian cities can out- sell him, and outdo him in service. CANADIAN STORY Other Canadians called Birks and Simpson and Loblaw and Cork and Tamblyn had their own way of do- ing somewhat the same thing. They made money for themselves and in doing it, they broadened and improved the whole field of mer- chandising so that the public could buy better and more varied goods at lesser pricés, and the whole standard of living could move up- ward in process. Today risk, com- petition, adventure, and achieve- ment still await the Oahadian youth. Bome of our small stores will one day be big; some of our small manufacturers will someday grow to gigantic proportions. That is the Canadian story, Those are material items--mater- fal ideas. But back of Canada's progress, I think, was a willingness in each individual pioneer to stand on his own feet. That, and a great faith in God. A faith that enabled the individual to put his trust in the, higher power available to all nb. The Canadian pioneer did not look to some paternal govern- ment to solve his problems, to feed and house him; The ploneer, with unlimited faith in God, made is own way. And in wresting his own living from the stubborn earth he made opportunities for his neigh- bor and for gen#fations to follow. Yes . . . freedom before God was the great goal sought by the. men and women who settled here in Canada not so many years ago. That faith and that freedom has built a nation so wealthy -it is the (envy of the old world. And book- lets like Quick Canadian Facts re flect our pride in Canadian pro- Tess, FREEDOM iS DYING But I think that, from time to time, we should stop and take stock of ourselves," We live in a genera- tion in which freedom is dying all over the world. We should not forget the ovens of Dachau and the slave camps of Siberia. We should remember these things have hap- pened in our time, and before they happened the people had to have religion torn' from their hearts. They had to give up the right to worship God. Instead they had to {sell «themselves as slaves to lhe State. Love and human pity, charity and kindliness, honor, trust, and. respect for-one's--fellow-man, morals and decency and reverence «all these things had to disappear, overshadowed by the Hitlers and the Stalins of the all-powerful newsstands the other day called | State. The people did not know it was happening. © In Germany it hap- pened ever so slowly. One freedom taken away here, another freedom there. The government offered security in place of freedom--and the government money looked aw- fully good. But when governments become absolute, dealing in every phase of human life, there always arise some power-hungry men to grab the power of government. And them religion and decency slowly disappear. And the honor of a materialistic State becomes a reality. We know the pattern now. Sure- ly we can see that we neyer let |e a pattern begin here in this great country, We should be constantly on the lookout. We should try, al- ways, to keep the rights of the in- diyidual foremost. Every Cgnadian should be free before God to make his own way, limiting our laws and controls and restrictions to the very minimum, If we preserve our freedom, we can say to our chilaren as George H. Bender said to the gradudtes of '61 at Lake Erie College just the other day. He sald: "Be stfong.
