DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for OCTOBER 11,345 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1951 Buy Christmas Seals Today the Tuberculosis Prevention Com- mittee of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club is launching its annual campaign for the sale of Christmas Seals, through which the county-wide work of that committee is financed. Citizens of Oshawa are fully aware of the valuable character of this activity. Through its mass surveys, its T.B. clinics, #s continual watch on the citizens who are found to be suffering from tuberculosis or are suspects and its work of rehabilitation of patients returning fro sanatoria, the Tuberculosis Prevention Committee is mak- ing a great contribution towards better health among the people of the community. The Christmas Seal Campaign enables the citizens of Oshawa and the County of On- tario to assist a worthy cause and at the game time to secure for themselves supplies of the seals which have become so popular for the adornment of Christmas letters and parcels. For many years mow, this has be- come an saocepted amd strongly supported method of raising funds for the battle against the scourge of tuberculosis. Splendid work in this direction has been done in Osh- awa and Ontario County, and there are hun- dreds of people who have been restored to nofmal health beeause of the early diagnosis made possible through the T.B. surveys and clinics. The value of this work ean never be estimated in dollars and cents. The contributions which are solicited by the Christmas Seal Committee are not large. They are well within the means of every citizen of the community. We can commend with sincerity and earnestness the cam- paign which is being started today, know- ing the great part which tuberculosis pre- vention work, as carried on here, is playing in promoting better community health stan- dards. No Longer a Dominion A good deal of controversy has arisen in the press of Canada over the action of the government at Ottawa in dropping the word "Dominion" from all its laws and regula- tions, from the names of its offices and buildings and from every document of an official character in which it appeared. That has been done as a deliberate matter of gov- ernment policy. The reason given is that term has been out-dated by the new status which has been acquired by Canada, and that it can be taken as indicating a colonial status for Canada. We doubt very much if many people in this country have ever felt thai the title "Dominion of Canada" had any suggestion of colonial inferiority about it. It has always been regarded with pride, and its origin certainly did not have any connotation of colonial status. It is generally understood, in fact, that it was chosen in preference to "Kingdom of Canada", and that its use was suggested by Sir Leonard Tilley on read- 'ing the 8th verse of the 72nd Psalm, which reads: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth." It seemed as if, in the light of that verse, the word "Dominion" had a very apt applica- tion to Canada, and was adopted for that reason. There will be many who will regrat cast- ing this title for Canada into the discard. It has become traditional, and it vas a very useful word in differentiating between the national government at Ottawa and the pro- vincial governments across Canada. Those of our people who are of British birth will certainly decry the tendency to cut away terms and titles which are indicative of the British connection, such as dropping the - word "Royal" in regard to""His Majesty's Royal Mail." They will look upon the disuse of the term "Dominion of Canada" as an- other step in that direction, as another breaking away from old tradition. And in \ view of the fact that the name given to this country will not in the slightest degree affect its. status, it does seem a meaningless gesture to make an issue out ef changing it. A Splendid Record In this year of 1951, which has been re- garded as a extremely difficult one for most of the Canadian automobile manufacturers, there is much room for satisfaction in Osh- awa with the record which has been achiev- ed by General Motors of Cagada, Limited, It is such as to give all our citizens renewed pride in the major industry of the city. The figures issued for the first ten months of 1951 show General Motors of Canada tak- ing a great lead in the automobile industry of this country. Not only has the company produced 47.5 per, cent of all automobiles and 37.5 per cent of all trucks manufactured in Canada. It has achieved an even more impressive record, in that while there has been decreased production by the other ma- jor automobile companies in Canada, General Motors has increased its car production by 26.3 per cent and its truck production by 12.6 per cent over the 1950 figures. These figures tell a story in which every General Motors worker ean take pride, be- cause they show that in a declining market such as has prevailed for the last few months, the Oshawa company has shown a remarkable increase in production. This speaks well, not only for the excellence of the products of General Motors and the measure of public acceptance which they have attained. It shows a virility and aggres- sivéness throughout the whole organization, reflected in the increased demand in the domestic and export markets for General Motors products. It has been a good thing for Oshawa and the prosperity of the community that Gen- eral Motors has been able to achieve this record, by means of which it has been able to maintain its high employment standards while other companies were experiencing great difficulties in keeping their staffs at work, and were even obliged to lay off a large part of their working forces. We con- gratulate General Motors on its fine achieve- ment, which has meant so much to this city.

Mec- Aree, has taken us to task for not stepping into the Ontario election campaign with fulminations and denunciations of this or that party. Boiled down from several hundred words, his thesis seems to be that it is the duty of every editor dur- ing an election campaign to do his best to brow-beat his readers into voting exactly as he--or his pub- lisher--wants them to vote. This opinion, pernaps, explains the amazing conduct of the Toronto newspapers in provincial and fed- eral elections--conduct which has nauseated newspapermen and read- ers in the "small" towns. It is true that newspapers ean do a great deal for the communi- ties they serve by advocating or criticizing various proposals, ideas and. policies. Such support or cri- ticism should be confined to the newspaper's page of opinion, the editorial page. The news pages must contain only factual reporting, with news stories captioned by headlines which are free from "slanting." A newspaper is fulfilling its true editorial function, however, if it to be fully acquainted with them. If the newspaper has done its job during the months and years prior to the election, the reader has the background to judge properly these issues promises and criticisms. Readers of this newspaper know we have much fo criticize in 'muni- cipal, provincial and federal gov- ernmental affairs, and also much ot praise. We cannot subscribe to the Toronto theory that (according to one paper) all 'Conservatives are scoundrels or (according to ane other paper) all Liberals are nin- compoops, and that CCF members should never be mentioned. What we do believe is that the citizens of Oxford are intelligent enough to form their opinion of the merits of the various parties and their candidates in Oxford without any hysterical pleas and denunciations from us.- But apparently this does not apply in Toronto.

OBTAINING RELIABLE CARPIERS is an acute problem with all daily newspapers. Times:Gazette subscribers can HELP to keep reliable boys on their routes by mak- ing sure that their carrier is paid for his papers EVERY WEEK. TIMES-GAZETTE carrier boys are independ young b men, It keeps them very busy to have YOUR PAPER ot your door every evening ond collect their accounts up-to-date every week. Since all of our lads are school boys, they must collect evenings and Saturday mornings. Please have your 30c ready. Do not ask them to "coll back". They cannot call back at several places at the same time. COLLECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. The boys depend on them for their working capital. In their own interests, boys are not allowed to run big bills, and are required to pey for their papers every week. You can make it easier for them, if you have their money ready. Try setting this 30c aside, then it will be available when the carrier calls. Employees receive their pay ot definite, regular periods. Carriers expect theirs ot the end of the week. From his collections the carrier receives his profit. This is his reward for a whole week of home delivery, regardless of the weather. If collecting becomes difficult, carriers lose interest -- we lose good carriers -- you lose out in service. They remain happy, contented, end free to give you better, more rapid service when collections are completed, and profits invested in saving, or capital investments. He can be sure of this ONLY IF YOU PAY HIM HIS 30c regularly every week, To give regular reliable service, carriers have to curtail their baseball, rugby or hockey ac- tivities so thot you do receive' your paper. They do make a sacrifice for service. Our car- riers average from 80 to 100 collections every week. Thus, you can easily see that your carrier has little time left for "call backs". Suggest a defin- ite time for him to call--have the 30c ready--alwefys have him punch both your card and his cord 'as soon as payment is made. Read! ...
