DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for SEPTEMBER 10,897 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1951 Winning All Hearts Reports from the Canadian cities which have already been visited by the Princess Elizabeth and her consort show that she has very quickly won the hearts of all who have : been privileged to see her. Her natural charm of manner, her spontaneous gestures and words of goodwill, and the tone of her public utterances, have revealed that she is a young woman with a keen understanding of the high places she holds in the Com- monwealth, and at the same time, a young woman of very human traits. The Princess is now in Ontario, where she will find a province with a strong backbone of people of British ancestry and birth. This province stands in a class by itself in its proportion of people of the British race, and as such, sets the pace in loyalty to .the crown. That the Princess will be given a warm welcome wherever she may go in On- tario goes without saying, and it is equally certain that she will win her way into the hearts of our people, just as her mother, Queen Elizabeth, did when she visited this province in 1939. 0 It is to be regretted that Princess Eliza- beth and the Duke of Edinburgh are not to be permitted to visit Oshawa. But neverthe- less, the people of this loyal community are taking a keen inter#kt in her travels throughout Ontario. Doubtless many will travel to Toronto on; Saturday to stand in the crowds which will greet her as she passes through the streets of the capital city of On- tario. Others may go to Trenton tomorrow to see the Princess there. In her they will see their future ruler, but they will see more than that. They will see a young wife and mother, devoted to her husband and chil- «dren, and a young woman who has dedicated her life to their service. Oshawa people, no matter where they may go to see their Prin- cess, will be proud to join in giving her the acclaim which is hers by right of the high position she holds, but so much more so hers because of the kind of person she is. Canada's Future On the eve of the departure of Princess Elizabeth and her husband for Canada, the leading newspapers of Britain indulged in some interesting speculation on the future of Canada. They had some interesting, and highly complimentary things to say about this great country, and about the place which it might hold in the British Common- wealth in the years that lie ahead. The London Times, for instance, had this to say: "It would not be excessively daring to speculate whether, in the distant future, Canada might not rival the United States, as her still undeveloped resources exceed those of the republic as markedly as her population falls short." The Daily Express, Lord Beaverbrook's newspaper, painted this picture of Canada: "Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh fly tomorrow to the young land of - Canada . . . to a rich land, exploding with oil, bursting with precious minerals, sighing with heavy harvests, towering with giant timber, to a land whose des- + tiny is even riches and mighty power." These are but two of the tributes paid to Canada in the British press, and they give a picture of the future potentialities of this country which is far from being realized fully by a great many of the people of this country. Given an era of peace, there is a gloriods future ahead of this country, a future which will reach its zenith.only when Canada has ten times its present population, and when the country. is a great hive of in- dustry due to the development of all its now latent resources. The Tourist Balance For a great many years, Canadians have been told of the great advantages to this country of the trade brought to it by tour- ists coming from the United States. This business was always regarded as one means of bringing American dollars to Canada to help level out the trade balance between the two countries, a balance always weighed heavily in favor of the United States. Of- ficials interested in tourist trade spoke of the hundreds of millions of dollars left in this country by United -States visitors. This situation is changing. It is not a case of fewer United States tourists coming to Canada, or spending less .money. On the contrary, there is a strong possibility that when the balance for this year is struck, it will be found that Canadians visiting the United States have spent more money in that country than Americans have done over here. There are two reasons for this. In the first place, more and more Canadians are spending their holidays making tours in the United States, and seeing the interest- | ing 'places south of the border. The second and perhaps the more important reason, is that Canadians are taking advantage of' every opportunity to cross the border and do extensive shopping there. The provision that returning Canadians who have been in the United States for 48 hours or more may bring back with them, duty free, goods to the value of $100 -- has stepped up im- measurably "the spending of Canadian dol- lars in that country. This is a natural thing when so many of the articles they buy carry heavy excise and sales taxes in this country, thus making them much cheaper to buy across the border and bring them back with- out payment of duty. Many instances can be cited of goods which come within this category, particularly cigarettes and tobacco, which cost about half as much in the United "Can the Champ Come Back?" POR THEBRITISH | neavywecaT ARE = GAR Ray LOOK AT Soi! = States as they do in Canada. One cannot blame Canadians for shopping in the United States when they can save substantially by doing so, but this is surely playing ducks and drakes with the formerly highly favorable balance of tourist trade. Editorial Notes Cost-of-living index is up nearly another full point. As this was the smallest jump since April, perhaps the rise is slowing down a bit. ' My + * It is fortunate the Royal visitors are mak- ing their visit to Ontario in the early part of their tour. That will clear the way for the election fireworks to come after their de- parture. : * + * Hamilton has followed Toronto in legaliz- "ing the sale of horsemeat under special Board of Health license. So if any of the Mountain City folks want to eat the stuff, that is their privilege. + + + Oshawa banks ran out of United States money on the eve of the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Apparently a lot of local folks have relatives and friends on the other side of the border, or maybe they only wanted to go on a shopping spree. * + * Some 3,500 British cars which could not find a market in Canada are being returned to the British Isles. The folks over there will welcome them with open arms -- if the government will allow them to buy the cars not wanted here. KJ Other Editors' Views eo OUTDATED LAWS (Vancouver, Province) Delegates to the B.C. Pharmaceutical Association discussing their professional problems in Vancouver tv ned up a much more important and a much deep- er problem, which should touch the conscience of all Canadians. The pharmaceutists revealed that the sale of cod liver oil for an Indian ¢hild, or the sale of a "222" pill for a brave with a headache, is. not permissible under the Indian Act. medical aid from any Indian is heartless and immor- al and it is silly. The fact that this strange quirk of the Indian law has been brought to public at- tention should spur us to reinvestigate the whole question of Indian subjugation to outdated laws that have ceased to have any jurisdiction. ® A Bit of Verse ® Withholding af* This is the land of autumn days,. Of frosty, star-lit nights-- Of sumach red and maple blaze, And winnowed northern lights. There in the blue in arrowheads The geese are flying south; They look below to the river beds-- The wind is in their mouth. This is the land of falling leaves, Dark trees beside a tarn: All gathered are the golden sheaves And pumpkins in the barn. And soon the filagree of snow Will fall without a sound, White, white on white, a furbelow To cover all the ground. --B.B. ® A Bible Thought e "There is a way that seemeth sight unto a man. but the ends thereof are the ways of death."

How INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Toronto -- We wonder how much difference the lack of a strong issue is going to make to the gov- ernment in the: election. One point on which the CCF is obviously going to try and make «capital is the fact that the late November vote is untimely and that there is no important reason for holding it. And remembering the important part this played in the 1948 elec- tion is arousing much curiosity in trying to gauge the campaign. It wouldn't appear to be nearly 80 important this time, however. In 1948 it admittedly lost the Tor- ies a lot of votes. But the circum- stances were different. For one hing there was the stron suspicion that the major reason for his desire to clear the decks for his aspirations to the national party leadership. Again while the opposition natur- ally was submitting his government to heavy criticism it wasn't, as has been the case of the opposition this time, challenging him to go to the country. And finally in that election the P.C. members weren't with their leader. A great many of them didn't wan the election. And while in the current vote a number were also opposed in the early 'stages e Readers Views LIQUOR PETITION The Editor, The Times-Gazette.

But in view of the | reasons mentioned, and particular- [ly the well known challenges by Mr. Thomson, most people prob- ably won't take any offence. There still is curiosity as to why he didn't announce the election at the session. About the most reasonable answ- er is that the announcement was put back the 'exact time that the royal tour was. There is every reason to believe that the original intention was to announce it during the session. The Albany Club speech the premier gave during it in fact was almost identical with the press release he issued with the announcement. But then the King's illness happ- ened along and with it. the post- ponement of the royal tour. One imagines in taking this into cop- | | sideration a certain number of | gays had been allowed for elec- | | tioneering after the Royal Couple | had left the province. When their | trip was postponed therefore the | election was also postponed to still {allow the same number of days for politics. ' Mac's Musings There are few things In this world that are As harmful as prejudice, Whether it be individual, Or directed at some group, Sect or organization, Or whether it is prejudice Of one race or nation Against another. Prejudice is an insidious Form of mental weakness Which robs the mind of Its faculty for clear Thinking and makes it Impossible for those who Are afflicted by it To reason logically. Prejudice is stubborn * Because it refuses to Acknowledge that there are Two sides to a question, And so it finds its Expression in violent Dislike of other persons, Of nations and religions, Political parties and Philosophies, and vents Itself in sowing distrust And malice towards the Object of its barbs. Those who are guilty violent prejudices Might be persuaded to ' Change their ideas if They could only realize That prejudice is the Child born of ignorance And misunderstanding, And that if one cannot Speak well of a person, Or race or nation or Of an organization, It is much better o To remain silent. Prejudice is a terrible Cancerous growth which Needs to 'be rooted out Of human consciousness And that can only be done When understanding and Knowledge replace the Misunderstanding and Ignorance which cause it. ® 30 Years Ago and easy touch.
