DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATIO! for SEPTEMBER 10,897 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1951 . The Times-Gazette the Canadian D Pr Why Not In English! The cther day The Times-Gazette receiv- ed press credentials for two members of its staff for the royal tour within the Province of Ontario. These were issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and were valid for the itinerary of Princess Elizabeth and her husband within this province. It was with considerable surprise that it was noted that the press badge was printed entirely in French. Examination of Yhe iden- tity card which accompanied it revealed that it was also printed entirely in the French language. Not one word of English appeared anywhere on these credentials for the royal tour of an English-speaking province. One cannot help expressing some doubt as to the mentality of public officials who would commit such an act of discourtesy to 'Canada's largest and most densely-populat- ed English-speaking province. We recognize that officially Canada is a bi-lingual coun- try, but as a matter of fact, English is the natural language of the overwhelming ma- jority of the people of Ontario. Had the cre- dentials been issued for the Province of Que- bec, one could have understood the exclusive use of the French language, since it is pre- dominant there. We have no quarrel with the French lan- guage being given recognition in Canada. That is one of the rights guaranteed to the French-Canadian minority under the British North America Act. But we do take excep- tion to official documents intended for use only in the Province of Ontario being print- ed exclusively in a language that is not na- tural to this province. Civil Defence Lethargy Major-General F. F. Worthington, federal eo-ordinator of civil defence, must have had his tongue in his cheek the other day when he made the statement that today "a grow- ing awareness of the importance of civil de- fence is apparent among Canadians." He elaimed that in many areas sound planning backed by voluntary effort is leading to ex- cellent results. General Worthington did not specify in which parts of Canada he found these con- ditions which seemed to signify a keen in- terest in civil defence. We venture to sug- gest that he did not find them anywhere in the Province of Ontario. So far as we have been able to find out, and we have been keenly interested in watching for civil de- fence activity, any interest which might have been stimulated in civil defence has been negatived by the uncertainty and lack of decision on the part of the federal gov- ernment. For a time, Hon. Arthur G. Welch, Ontario government minister respon- sible for civil defence organization, was keen to have organization carried on throughout the province. He lost his enthusiasm when he found out that there was a complete lack of Jeadership from Ottawa, and that the fed- eral government was not prepared to make any commitments to help in civil defence organization. What is true of the Hon. Mr. Welch is also true of the heads of municipalities and of individuals who had, in a first burst of in- terest, been appointed to posts in a skeleton organization. They have sensed that there is no urge, no drive, on the part of the fed- eral authorities to set up a civil defence organization, and so they have lost interest. One need only to point to the lack of interest in Oshawa as an example of what is happen- ing in communities all over the province. There will be no civil defence organization worth the name in Ontario until Ottawa gets down to business and makes clear what it wants and what it advocates. That was the situation in 1941 and in the early part of 1942 in connection with civil defence in ~Ontario. There was no progress until Ottawa came out with a definite policy and plan. Then it went ahead. The same is the situa- tion today, and it will not be changed to one of enthusiasm. until the people know where they are going in civil defence mat- ters. Scale of Court Fees It is time that the Attorney-General's de- partment began to take some cognizance of the ridiculously low scale of fees paid to in- dividuals who are required to give their ser- vices in connection with the administration of the courts of Ontario. This need was brought into prominence in Kitchener this week, when the City Council passed a grant of $19 to a city workman who lost that amount of money because of a week's ser- vice as a jucyman. This was the amount of noney the workman was short, after receiv- "Troubles and More Troubles Thi ing his jury fee of $6 per day for the period of his service. } Another case in point is that of withdssse) subpoenaed to appear in court trials. Accord- ing to the Deputy-Attorney General, C. R. Magone, witnesses in summary conviction cases before magistrates receive $3.00 per day, plus 20 cents a mile travelling expenses one way. It must be obvious to anyone that these amounts are totally inadequate in view of the prevailing wage scales throughout the Province of Ontario. There are few citizens who object to being called upon to do their duty in the courts, but it is grossly unfair that they should be required to lose their wages while so doing, and receive fees which fall short of reimbursing them for lost wages. The Kitchener City Council acted gener- ously in granting its employee the amount he lost by his jury service. But it would be entirely unreasonable to ask all employers to do likewise. That would be equivalent to a subsidizing of the administration of just- ice by business and industry. The feeling that jury and witness fees are too low is not a new thing. For some years many people who have been called upon, to serve have felt that the scales should be in- creased substantially, so that the actual costs of the courts might be borne by the proper authorities, rather than having part of them saddled on the individuals giving their services as jurors and witnesses.

Par- | ticularly he asked labor to recog- {nize that today tF- > is no struggle | between the masses and the classes, | between capital and labor. Their | deepest interests were common to { both.

Mr. Conroy at least is definite. He is reported as saying to a group of electors: "The class ruling this country won't allow the working people to forget there is a class war because they want to dominate ". . . |It is time we paid attention to ourselves , .., " "I would hate to think," he con- | tinued, "that anyone here wouid | not oppose the people who are cute | ting the throat' of this nation ... | Let's take the silliness and romance | out of this class war.
