Turnbull, Deputy Postmaster-General of Canada would have any specific announce- ments to make regarding local postal mat- ters when he spoke to the Oshawa Kiwanis Club this week. Government officials are usually wary of getting into local contro- versies, and prefer to leave that to the cab- inet members. Mr. Turnbull, however, did make mention of two items which are mat- ters of great concern in Oshawa, the build- ing of the new post office and improvement of the mail service in the business section, although the latter subject was touched more by inference than by direct reference. So far as the post office construction pro- ject is concerned, it-appears the matter still stands where it did some months ago. A sur- vey of the property on which it is to be built has been completed, and the working plans are in course of preparation. We have been told that before, so that there is really noth- ing new in the statement of the deputy min- ister, who was careful to point out that the matter was out of the hands of his depart- ment and in the hands of the Department of Public Works. : Mr. Turnbull indicated that an effort is veing made to find a solution for the prob- lem of mail delivery service in Oshawa, and that studies of the subject are being made. But this became rather part of an over-all plan for mail service improvement rather than a plan directed specifically at the prob- fem which is bothering Oshawa business and professional men. So on both counts the position is that we just have to go on hoping that at some time, preferably in the not too distant future; Osh- awa will provide some action on the two postal problems of Oshawa. Port Perry Still Dry The electors of Port Perry, by a vote which is more than sufficient under the pro- visions of the Liquor Control Act, have shown that they are opposed to having a beer warehouse established in their com- munity. The vote 'was very close, with 51.3 per cent voting in favor of a beer warehouse and 48.7 per cent against it. But since the law requires that there must be.a 60 per cent vote in favor of the proposed beer sale before the status of the municipality can be changed, Port Perry remains as it has been, a dry community. The interest created in Port Perry by the issue was remarkable, as is shown by the fact that 88.5 per cent of those eligible to vote cast their ballots. Both sides had waged an active campaign, and the temperance forces were gratified by the way in which those opposed to the beer warehouse turned out to vote against it. The will of the people in such matters is paramount, and the government, in framing the Liquor Control Act, very wisely required that 60 per cent of the people voting must be in favor of a change in status before the sale of beer and liquor can be established. In the case of Port Perry, it is well that the status of the village remained unchanged. In a small community, the people as a rule are inclined towards temperance. And there is no doubt that had the proposal for a beer warehouse been carried, the next step on the part of the liquor interests would have been the calling of a vote on opening a liquor: store. Port Perry is better off without these things, and the people have shown that they are quite content to do without them and their disturbing influences. Armistice Talks Renewed The armistice negotiations between the United Nations and Chinese: Communist leaders in Korea have been resumed. Sus- pended on August 22 because of alleged U.N. violations of the neutrality zone in which the . negotiations wére being conducted the decis- ) ion to reeume talks had been reached only after lengthy argument, charges and denials and countercharges. Now these points of dis- pute have been settled, the negotiating about an agreement by which Korean hosti- lities can be terminated. . Whether or not an armistice agreement will be reached depends on how sincere the Communist leaders are in their desires to secure peace. Before the talks were suspend- ed, little real progress had been made, be- cause it seemed as if the Communists were more interested in creating propaganda than in reaching an agreement. If one can place any trust in the good faith of the Com- munist leader Mao Tze-tung, however, a dif- ferent picture might be presented, because in agreeing to resume negotiations he said that "so long as the U.S. government is will- ing to settle the Korean question on a just and reasonable basis, the success of the Korea armistice negotiations is possible." That statement, however, can work both ways, since it is necessary for the Commu- nists also to be willing to settle on a just and reasonable basis. There are difficult questions to be settled before there is an armistice. But they can be settled if both sides enter into the nego- tiations with a will and a determination to make them successful. The fighting in Korea can: be halted at any time the two parties are willing to make those compromises and adjustments necessary for peace, without jeopardizing the principles for which the United Nations intervened when the North Koreans invaded South Korea.

Anger can make you rash, impulsive, heedless, ripe for an acci- dent. Many a hot temper has been cooled off in an accident. What can you do about it? First, recognize anger for the accident-producing factor that it is. Never drive in a fit of temper. Better to park your vehicle, get out, kick the curb, or cool off with a cup of coffee. Veteran professional drivers have come to terms with this emotion and have learned the art of self- control behind the wheel. They've learnd that the habit of bad-temper driving prd¥uces accidents -- sooner or later. * * + + MUNICIPALITIES BADLY SQUEEZED (Moncton, N.B, Transcript) Municipalities are getting squeezed badly. The demands for service. in a wide field appear to have outstripped the sources of revenue. Local governments have been obliged to seek new fin- ancial resources, but at the same time are very much aware of the terrifically. heavy burden the taxpayers are already carrying. eo A Bit of Verse * CORN AND SUMMER See how the corn has copied summer; how the small green promise has flowered to the tall stalk, the full, ripe grain. (where is the seed, the root?) Look how it sways in the wind, ' rich with the earth and sun, sweet with the rain. - Now is the promise fulfilled (remember the young green shoot?) --MAE WINKLER GOODMAN ® A Bible Thought e "God $0 loved the world that He gave His only begotten 8on." (John 3:16.) Love ever gives-- Forgives--outlives, And ever stands With open hands, And, while it lives It gives. For this is love's prerogative To 8ive--and give--and give, "|at Toronto --In his Lindsay speech, Premier Frost dealt with the re- cent promise of Liberal Leader Thomson to reduce Ontario's gaso- Iine tax by three cents per gallon. Mr. Frost made it plain that such a reduction would necessitate the people of Ontario digging deep to raise money from otlrer sources' to pay for the highways program, and millions of dollars derived from tourist cars annually would shrink. It simply means, Mr. Frost, said that these millions we receive from outside. ..must be realized from our own people. This sizable contribution to pro- vincial revenues from the tourist business is increasing every year. The Ontario Travel and Publicity department figures on tourist travel this year will reveal that jnew peaks have been reached and there is point. In Chicago last week, the On- tario Travel department followed up its good-will tour of last June by entertaining some 70 editors and publishers and their wives at a dinner in connection with the an- nual convention of the National Editorial Association. These guests of the department included many who made the good-will tour in June and the others were visitors on previous good-will tours. The guests receiv- ed a large group picture in color made during their stay in the province. This year special prizes of atlases, maps, most of them global, a timely and appropriate gift to editors in these days of international tensions, were awarded to those who wrote the most interesting articles for their seemingly no saturation wserve as an excellent accessory to | papers on their impressions of the tour, A feature of the dinner was the showing. of a color film depicting scenes taken during the tour. The visitors got a chance to see them- selves as Ontario saw them. Two prints of this film are kept in cir- culation and loaned to the editors who take turns showing it in their local communities. The films are in big demand and accompany addresses given by the good-will tourists when they return and tell the home folks of their experiences and impressions. These good-will tours were start- ed back in 1941 and films record- ing some of the early ones are still in circulation in U.S. towns and cities, department officials state. As one evidence of the value of this kind of advertising, Tom Mec- Call, deputy minister of the Travel and Publicity department, says one of the editors at the recent dinner in Chicago informed him that 29 groups of people in his dis- trict had spent their vacations in Ontario this year as a direct result of the information he had given them about his trip to the pro- vince. The gathering in Chicago has now been established as an annual event and invitations are extended to all those who have been guests of the province onthe various tours. Not all can make it, but enough of them do to satisfy On- tario travel officials that the gmount of publicity and good-will engendered by the tour and the follow-up dinner are incalculable in addition to being the most eco- nomical in the campaign to "Know Ontario Better." Party Marks Anniversary MRS. RUSSELL GRIFFIN Correspondent Ennjskillen -- On Saturday even- ing, October 20th, a Silver Wedding celebration was held in Enniskillen Community Hall in honour of Mr, and Mrs. Stanley May (nee Winnie Ashton) of Toronto. The Hall was beautifully decorated with white and pink streamers and baskets of autumn flowers About 65 guests gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. C.

Genuine public education Is somtehing which never Stops until life ends For those individuals Who are always seeking for Broader knowledge and a Keener insight into the Problems of the world, And of their own living. Education can be continued Throughout all of life, And in many cases that Which is learned after Maturity of years is Much more important than What is acquired earlier In school and college. Through the wise reading Of the right kind of books, Through travelling abroad Or in one's own country, Through listening to the Words of great public men, And to the music of great Artists in that field, There is a constant process Of real education that Helps to fit the citizen For a greater place in The life of his country And his community. Let us not think that We have finished with our Education because we no Longer attend schools, Because the world is always A continuing school, and Experience is the best Teacher man can have. e Readers Views DOG KENNELS The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir: Having read in your columns some time ago letters about Dog Kennels not being a fit place to board a dog. I would lke to answer those letters. Two weeks-ago we left our family pet, a spaniel, at the Waubena Ken- nels, with Mr. and Mrs. D. Hurl I was more than pleased to find such a clean place, runways for the dogs, and their own dogs looking so well cared for. When we returned we found our dog in good condition, clean, all combed, well fed--in fact we had quite a time to get him feomi* Mrs. Hurl. We can recommend the Waubena Kennels to anyone requiring excel- lent care for their animals. Yours truly, MRS. G. W. JEWELL 222 Oshawa Blvd., Oshawa, Oct. 23, 1951. $70,000 FIRE LOSS Aylmer, Ont.

Ladies Form Service Club At Prince Albert F. E. SMITH Correspondent Prince Albert -- Some 13 ladies met at the home of Mrs. W. Heavyn on Monday evening, Oct. 22, As there was no further need of an Auxiliary for the Cubs and Scouts in Prince Albert a motion was made that they dissolve the connection and reorganize as a Service Club. With Mrs. M. Hodgins as chair- man and Mrs. FP. Smith as secre- tary the meeting got underway. It was unanimously decided that the officers of the former club should remain for the coming year. Mrs. M. Hodgins is President, Mrs. O. Brown, secretary-treasurer. The ladies chose to call the newly or- ganized club "The Good Neighbours Service Club." The aim will be to help in any worthwhile causes. The first objective is to furnish a room in the new Port Perry Com- munity Hospital, which is now be- ing rushed to completion. On or about Nov. 16 a bingo is being arranged. To be held in the Prince Albert schooi, each member is to donate a prize. It is also hoped that other forms of evening entertainment will be arranged for during the winter months, Following considerable dis- cussion refreshments brought to close a pleasant evening.
