J. Dunlop as Minister of Education, and of Fletcher 8. Thomas as Minister of Public Works. In recent years, these two important portfolios have been adjuncts to the main appointments of other ministers. Now the government has recog- nized that they are deserving of more atten- tion than has been given to theni in the gov- ernment of the province. : It is particularly gratifying that there is again to be a full-time Minister of Educa- tion, and that the new minister is an out- standing citizen with a life-long experience in education at many levels. Premier Frost is to be commended for going outside the ranks of his party followers in the legisla- ture to find a man highly qualified for giv- ing leadership to this important department. Dr. W.. J. Dunlop has been an educationist sinde his youth. He has had a wide variety of teaching experience in public, continua- tion and private schools, and for many years was Director of University Extension and Publicity at the University of Toronto. He is recognized throughout the province as a man of the highest calibre who will bring a fresh viewpoint, born of long experience, to the conduct of his department. Appointment of Fletcher 8. Thomas as Minister of Public Works is something of a surprise.; He has for the last few years:been regarded as the logical successor to the Hon. T. L. Kennedy as Minister of Agriculture. All his training and experience have been in that field, as he is a graduate of the OAC and a former agricultural representative of many years service. It may be, of course, that his present post is but a stepping stone to the more important agriculture portfolio in the event of a Conservative success in the next election. His chief asset is that he will add mych-needed debating. strengtn to the front government bench in the legislature. The two selections made by Premier Frost for additions to his cabinet will round out the administration of the province and re- move much of the eriticism which has been directed at the government because of part- time ministers heading . important. depart- ments. And we doubt whether he could have secured two more capable men for the po- sitions which have been filled. The unexpected action. .of the Whitby Police Commission, in practically dismissing the entire police force vf 'the town, and turning its policing over to' the Ontario Pro- vincial Police pending a re-organization, has created something of a sensation throughout this district. Following on. the adjournment. of the recent inquiry 'which ended in fiasco when witnesses réfuseéd to testify without the assistance of counsel, it has left many questions unanswered. The Police Commission was acting per- fectly within its rights in doing as it has done. If it felt sincerely that the efficiency of the police department had been seriously impaired by friction within the force and lack of harmony and co-operation, then it acted wisely in cleaning house and leaving the way open for a re-organization. The statement issued by the Police Com- 'mission informing the publi¢ of its action, states very clearly that it has endeavored to secure an amicable solution of the diffi- culties inside the police force. It inherited a bad situation when it was appointed, and tried to clean it up. Its statement claims that it found this impossible. The crux of the matter rests in the following paragraph: "The Cemmifision, after holding public hear- ings, is of the opinion that the Town of Whitby; has hot been properly policed for the past num- ber of months. It is quite apparent that the con- dition of the police force is not a matter of recent "growin, but pas developed over a period of A year or so. Personal prejudices have deve.opeT within the force itself, and the corhplete luck of co-operation between the various members of the force has resulted in the deterioration of normal police efficiency." - Having found this situation to exist, and having failed in its efforts to restore har- mony and co-operation by amicable means, there was nothing left for the Commission to do other than it has done. Policing a mu- nicipality is serious business. It must be effi- cient, and there must be co-operation within the police force. Otherwise the enforcement of law and order in the community is bound to suffer. There are doubtless those who will claim that the investigation which was started should have been continued, with witnesses allowed the assistance of their counsel. Te Times-Gazette has supported that view. But it now seems likely that the investigation would merely have brought about an airing of further charges against the police, with- out adding a great deal to the information apparent that the Commission did give the members of the force an opportunity to state their cases and also to mend their ways. Having failed in that effort, they had a duty ried that out in the way which they felt was in the best interests of the town ol Whitby. . Still Time for Change The Times-Gazette supports most heartily a plea which is made by the Toronto Tele- gram, directed at the committee in charge of the arrangements for the visit of Prin- cess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, for a change back to the original arrange- ments for the arrival of the royal couple in Toronto. The reasons for the Telegram plea are well-founded, from a Toronto standpoint. Frankly, our reasons are for the purpose of ensuring that the people of Oshawa may have an opportunity to extend a loyal wel- come to the Princess and her husband. 1t is obvious that someone blundered very seriously in arranging that the royal party should fly from Trenton to Toronto, arriving at the Malton airport at the time of day when traffic congestion is at its height in the area through which they will pass on the way to the city hall. This has neces- sitated the issuing of regulations banning all cars from the downtown area of Toronto from 4.30 to 7.30 p.m. on the day of their arrival, and serious curtailment of traffic over most of the city. This would not have been necessary had the original plans been carried out. } From the standpoint of Oshawa, the change in the original plans, which would have brought the royal train through this city, means that local people will have to travel either to Trenton or Toronto to see the royal visitors. The people of this community feel that their city, an important industrial centre of nearly 41,000 people, has been slighted in these new arrangements. There is a feeling that by curtailing the stay at Tren- ton to something less than the two hours planned, the balance of the "trip to Toronto could be made by train. The change in the plans for the royal visit, necessitated by the King's illness, might very well have been used as a reason for reviewing the plans and reverting to the original idea. We are glad to lend our sup- port to the Telegram's contention that this should still be done, and that pressure be brought to bear on the Ottawa committee to- wards that end. : Editorial Notes Ontario Legislature's fall session lasted only five days. With all parties in agree- ment on the legislation presented, there was nothing to start a long-term argument. " * + With the head of Whitby detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police dismissed at the same time as the entire' Whitby Police Force, it looks like a real house-cleaning in law enforcement at the county town.

They're determined to keep Rugby a piece of the England they've never seen. Th colony officially opened Oct. 5, 1880. Hughes, a member of par- liament, lawyer and man of let- ters, came from London for the ceremonies. It started out with a flourish. More 'than 1000 young Englishmen, eager to find a more abundant life in the green uplands of Tennessee, soon followed. PLANNED RECREATION Among the first fruits of Hughes energy were cricket fields, tennis courts, an archery club, .a football team, a newspaper, dramatic so- cieties, a cornet band and labels for a canning factory*which never materialized. Social life flourished. Mountain folk stared open-mouthed at fancy- | dressed ladies and gentlemen on promenade. One of the most picturesque characters was the founder's mother, Mrs. Margaret Hughes, dowager queen of the settlement. "Queen Margaret" was given to long rides 'behind a milk - white horse. Even in her 80s, she plung- ed daily into a cold pool in her private deer park. But Hughes was recalled to par- liament and not long afterward typhoid fever hit Rugby. Then fol- lowed a mix-up in land titles and disaster set in. By 1885 Hughes' Utopia - in - the - hills was breath- ing its last. Still standing for visitors are sights of unusual interest. The Hughes public library, dedicated in 1882, contains more than 7000 volumes, many of which are rare first editions. Quaint little Christ Church, which still has its original organ and lighting fixtures is one of the original buildings. There are traces of splendid driveways, terraced hillsides and river parks, where gophers frolic among the scraggly weeds. Rambling cottages, characteris- tic of the intensely English style of life forced upon the mountain wilderness, still stand. One of them, *'Uffington House,"" was named for the Hughes home in England. ® 25 Years Ago Cobourg Presbytery of the United Church, meeting in Oshawa, pass- ed a resolution urging rigidgen- forcement of the Ontario Tempers ance Act.
