DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for SEPTEMBER 10,897 MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1951 rr Building for the Future Every one of the 16 organizations partici- pating in the Community Chest is important. It would be invidious to make any compari- sons, to try te assess the specific value of the work which is being done by each. We can take it for granted that every one of these groups of voluntary workers is serving a recognized need, because if it were not, it would not be included in the Community Chest Campaign. \ While recognizing the worth of all of the 16 organizations in the Community Chest, we would be remiss if we did not call special attention to the great work being done by those organizations which are dedicated to the service of the boys and girls of the com- munity, which through their efforts, are building citizens for the future of our city and country. Their work has so great a long- term value that the returns from the money invested in it are felt on down through the years, even by future generations. As we scan the list of organizations which come within this category, we are impressed with the fact that they exist to serve in an admirable way the needs of the young citi- zens of Oshawa who will be the adult citizens of our tomorrows. Organizations like the Boy Scouts' Association, the Girl Guides' Associa- tion, the Women's Welfare League, the Com- munity Recreation Association, the YWCA, the Army Cadets and Sea Cadets, the Chil- dren's Aid Society, and even the St. John's Ambulance Association with its cadet groups, are all vitally concerned in the physical, mental and spiritual development of the boys "and girls of Oshawa. They are providing practical types of programs which will make an indelible mark on their lives, and will set their feet on the right path towards a high standard of citizenship. We of the present generation can well be proud of what our organizations, such as those we have mentioned, are doing in build- ing character and self-reliance in the citizens of the future. It is a work which deserves the fullest possible support from all the people of this community. It is a work which is only made possible through the financial support given in the annual campaigns for ~the Oshawa Community Chest. Putting these two things together, one can see the obliga- tion which rests upon all our citizens, to contribute - generously to the Community Chest funds, so that this wonderful work of youth-building can be maintained at a high level in the years that lie ahead. Three Good Candidates "With two of the nominating conventions over, and the result of the third one a fore- gone conclusion, the election contest in On- tario riding begins to take shape as one which promises to be among the most ex- citing .and keenly-contested in the province. He would indeed be a rash prophet who would, at this stage, make any prediction as to the possible result of the voting on No- vember 22. : The electors of Ontario riding are fortu- nate in having the opportunity to make a choice among three eandidates of high cali- bre, three men of wide experience in public affairs. It might very well be said that, so | far as the candidates personally are concern- 3 'ed, all three are qualified to give Ontario riding excellent representation in the On- tario Legislature.' - T. D. Thomas, the CCF nominee, has serv- ed his own community well as a councillor and reeve of East Whitby township, and as its member in the Ontario Legislature. Through his experience there, he has de- : veloped considerably as a public servant and |, as a debater in the House. ~ : Michael Starr, three times Mayor of Osh- awa and for five years an alderman, the ~ Progressive Conservative candidate, is also ¢ in the cate~ory of having a broad experience ¢ in municipal affairs. He has served Oshawa - with distinction, and has won for himself a / CR SRR ee SS Cae reputation as a mayor who has given splen- did leadership in getting things done. Walter C. Thomson, with many years of political experience behind him, will be the Liberal nominee. He has represented Ontario riding in the House of Commons since the election of 1949, and last fall was 'elected leader of the Liberal party in Ontario. He is a forceful debater, a man of strong convic- tions and a seasoned political veteran. With three men of this type in the field, the election will be keenly fought, and since outstanding political issues are lacking, the personality of the candidate might be a de- ciding factor in the minds of many of the electors. Regardless of who is elected, these three citizens are to be congratulated on off- ering their services to their fellow-citizens in the capacity of candidates for the pro- vincial election. In recognition of their pub- lic spirit, they are entitled to ask that the electors at least show an interest in the cam-; | paign, and above all, sufficient interest to see fhat they go to the polls on November 22 apd vote for the man of their choice, regard- ess of whom he may be. Canada's Contribution % Announcement made in the House of Com- mons by Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of de- fence production, to the effect that Canada, in the next four years, will spend 7.5 billion dollars for defence and for development of strategic resources points the direction which might be taken by Canada's contribu- tion to the democracies' preparedness activ- ities. It may be that, in thinking of the part Canada might play in the common defence of the free nations, we have placed too much stress on industrial production and on the provision of manpower for the armed forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In this we may have been looking in the wrong direction. It is quite possible that the greatest contribution Canada can make will be in the nature of development of stra- tegic resources of raw materials which we have in abundance, and which are lacking in most of the other countries which belong to the NATO group. Canada is a storehouse of these strategic materials. The metal, mineral and oil re- sources of this country are fabulous. In first place among those needed for defence pur- poses by other countries, and which Canada has in abundance, are oil, iron ore, and sulphur. So the development of these at a greatly accelerated rate is in the forefront of the program outlinedvby Mr. Howe. Ex- pansion is also planned in the development of the copper, lead, zinc, nickel, aluminum and hydro-electric power resources of the country. All of this will make just as impor- tant a contribution to the defence program as the production of military trucks or air- planes, or the sending of a brigade of troops to Europe. : All of this presages a busy time ahead for Canada and Canadians. But it will mean a program of opening up new fields of ac- tivity and endeavor which will have a high- ly beneficial influence on the Canadian econ- omy away ahead into the future. It may well be that under the pressure of present day world events, Canada will make greater strides forward in every direction than could possibly have been done under a normal peace-time economy. Editorial Notes British troops have been in action against mobs of rioters in Egypt. This may arouse the United Nations Organization to a reali- zation of the danger of the situation in that country. + * * East Germany and Red China have signed- a cultural co-operation agreement. We have never noticed much sign of culture of any kind in the Communist methods of operation. ® A Bit of Verse o A LITTLE RED FEATHER Only a little Red Feather, shining and bright, Yet a symbol of Hope like a ray of new light. How thankful they'll be, that we've all done our Lest In helping to fill the Community Chest. If everyone gives to aid this great cause, It will lighten the burden of pain and remorse Some little child will happier be, A less fortunate brother from worry set free. There's so much to be done, so many in need; No time like the présent for an extra good deed. Remember the adage, old, yet so true, Do unto others as you would they should do. Let us count all our blessings, and then gladly share Every dime and dollar that we can spare, Making this, then, our greatest endeavor To keep bright the symbol -- a Little Red Feather. ® A Bible Thought e Christ never spoke harshly 'o any sinner--only to those who pretended they were not. "Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hyprocrites! » widow's houses, and for a pretence make long ~prayers: therefore ye shall receive the sicalér damnation."

L---Adults--Woodworking, 11th, in Royal Victoria Hospital at Rarrie, ---- ses * Mac's Musings These are days when City folks feel envious Of those privileged to Live out in the country Where nature is showing Its loveliest pictures Of the whole year, And is providing an Atmosphere that is filled With fresh cool breezes That give new zest and Life to human beings. As we drive here and there Throughout our province In these days of fall, We feel it must be Rather wonderful to live Out in the country where All of natufe's beauty Is glowing all around, In front and behind as The trees show their Richest raiment of the year. We city folks who are Hemmed in by buildings, Rising to the heavens, With oply paved streets On which to walk with Our tired feet see little Of, the beauty that is Accepted as part of The life of rural folk. We live in a world that Is largely artificial, In that it is man-made, And hidden from us are All the glories that Can alone be made by God. The handiwork of our Divine Creator shines All around dut in The open countryside, And makes us remember To be grateful to Him For all the good things That He has provided for An undeserving humanity.

All Rights Reserved. INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Hospitalization Plank | London -- Mr. Frost finally has got down to politics. It has taken the premier a long time to get go- ing but he apparently doesn't in- tend to ignore opposition criticism entirely. The base of his appeal is still going to be his record but, though one would gather he won't be getting involved in personalities, he will also have his say about the opposition programs. This was clear at Ilderton a few miies from here when he made the first speech of his campaign with any real oomph. In it he gave his answer to the Thomson hospital- ization plan which with good Liber- al propaganda has been acquiring a certain amount of fame. Similar answers are to be ex- pected from here .in, one to a speech. The premier says that while he intends to stick to his main speech which is a recital of the government's record he also hopes to take up a subject a speech in some detail. On the hospitalization plank one would say that while he has made some gains he also hasn't entirely stolen Mr, Thomson's thunder. The position he expressed at Ilderton was that while a hospital- ization plan was a good idea, so good that his government had stu- died its possibilities it wasn't prac- tical at the present time. There was a shortage of hospital beds and until they were .in good supply a government hospitalization sche- me would in fact be 'fraudulent' as it would initiate a contract which couldn't be honored. To a great many people this will make a good sense. And the -at- titude of not being able to honor a contract certainly won't do Mr. Frost any harm with public opin- ion. " But it also should leave a good many people in Mr. Thomson's camp. The essential point in a hositalization program after all is protection against the economic blows of illness. This is the factor that continually hangs - over the head of anyone without ample fi- nancial resources, particularly if they have had a serious crisis through illness in their lives, which most families have had. The fact there aren't hospital beds won't mean much to them. They know that if seriously enough ill a bed will be found. What they are worrying about mainly is pay- ing for it. A great many people of course are covered now under private hos- pitalization programs. To them the whole discussion mightn't have any strong importance. But still with the great worry that sickness and its costs have always been, the fact that the Liberal leader has come out with the proposal of do- ing something about it, has recog- nized a universal problem, should- not do him any harm at all. ® 15 Years Ago A citizens' committee present- ed to the City Council a resolu- tion asking for a thorough en- quiry into the whole question of the city's assessment. Council refus- ed to take action. Oshawa General Motors baseball team won the senior championship of Ontario, and also won the Jun- ior Ontario championship. Oshawa's tax collections showed a great improvement over those of the year 1935. Oshawa city treasury received $19,425 from the provincial gov- ernment as reimbursement from income tax collections. Kinsmen Club held a special dinner to do honor to the National President A. D. Crews. New equipment and machinery were installed at General Motors in preparation for production of 1937 models.
