It was fitting recognition of her 21 years of un- broken service on the Board that she should he presented with an illuminated testimonial and % gold watch, gifts she will treasure for the rest of her life. : - Mrs. Colpus has had, we believe, a unique record as a member of the Board of Edu- cation. Elected 21 years ago as the first woman to be elected to any public office in Oshawa's municipal organization, she has always taken her duties and responsibilities seriopsly, and has devoted herself assiduous- ly to whatever tasks were allotted to her. She has the unusual record of never having thissed a meeting or having been late for a meeting during her 21 years on the Board. She.served for two years as its elected chair- man; and for part of another year to fill out the term of a chairman who passed away while in office. =Mrs. Colpus was first elected to the Board of Education because of her keen interest in the affairs of the Oshawa Home and Sdhool Council, and in educational matters generally. Down through the years, that iliterest has grown as knowledge and ex- [Brience were acquired in Board of Educa- tion service, until today Mrs. Colpus has an appreciation of the needs of Oshawa in the field of education that is equalled by few of the citizens of the community. Mrs. Colpus deserves the thanks of the whole Oshawa community for the services she has freely réndered during the last 21 years, and for the fine public spirit she has shown in plac- ig her ability, her time and her energy at eir disposal in an important field of com- unity activity. Delivered by carrier in Osh C. Colpus, Board of Canada's Steel Industry 2 There is a great deal of merit in the pro- posals put forward by George A. Drew, fed- dral Progressive Conservative leader, that @anada should be turning its attention much ore seriously to a major expansion of its dec industry through the development of its "ifon ore resources. He says the time has ome to decide whether these ore resources are to be exported to feed the giant industry the United States, or whether they are te be employed in the making of steel plants Within the boundaries of Canada. = We are in agreement with Mr. Drew when says: "We should decide now what steps should be *taken so that mills will be constructed at strategic w sCanadian points from the Atlantic to the Pacific. »And when our great reserves of iron ore are mov- wing freely, the foundation will already have been "laid for a huge steel industry, adequate not only "for present needs but for the needs of a popula- "tion much greater than we have today." 2 This proposal is very timely because. of the manner in which United States steel iterests are looking to the iron resources of Labrador as a future source of supply. With their own resources of iron ore in im- portant areas nearing exhaustion, they are already planning to tap the Canadian sup- plies. But from a Canadian standpoint, this country would benefit tremendously if Cana- dian ores were processed and fabricated into gteel in Canadian plants, not alone from an émployment and economic standpoint, but in grder to free this country from dependence en the United States for essential steel re- ired by our industries. Here in Oshawa, fire is full appreciation of what it means fe have to depend on the United States for .dtee] for industrial purposes. How much gounder it would be to have the Canadian steel industry expanded until it could meet ll of Canada's requirements. ' = We commend Mr. Drew for his construe- five proposals, and hope that they will 'not be looked upon by the government as merely political propaganda, but rather as a sug- gestion for a wise course to follow. o | wwe = mares ww nigner MliK rrice Announcement that the Ontario Milk Con- trol Board has authorized an increase of two cents a quart in the price paid by Oshawa consumers for milk means another boost in the cost of living for families in this com- munity. An increase in the milk price here was predicted a week or two ago, but the jump from 19 to 21 cents was not anticipat- ed. It was felt that an increase of one cent would be made effective, but the Milk Con- trol Board has seen fit to authorize the two cent jump in price. Unpalatable as the higher milk price may be to the housewives of Oshawa, it has to be recognized that it was inevitable, Farmers have been hit by rising costs of production, just as have other industries, and that being no reason why they should be expected to produce milk at a loss. The economic well- being of the farming community is a vital factor in the general prosperity of the Prov- ince of Ontario, and that status cannet be maintained unless the prices received for farm products allow a margin over the costs of production. Milk distributors have also been faced with increased costs in every phase of their operations. While there may be those who feel that the present milk distribution sys- tem is not economically sound, it is the only one we have at the present time. The only way in which these higher distribution costs can be met is through the price which the consumer pays for milk. There will doubtless be protests against this sharp increase in the Oshawa milk price. So far as these protests can be used on sound economic principles, they would be justified. But it is well to remember that the price at which any product can be sold must be governed by the costs of production and distribution, and so long as these keep on rising, it is difficult to see how the consumer cost can be held down.

I cannot understand hew, for the offence of driving under the influence of drink, any court could consider that a fine of £5, (15), whatever the position of the defendant, is an ade- quate penalty. "A motor-car in the hands of a drurken man is a most dangerous instrument, "People who drive under the influence of drink are putting the lives and limbs of His Majesty's subjects in the neighborhood in peril. "It is not to be considered in mitigation that they did not actually injure anyone." ® A Bit of Verse @ AFTERGLOW Between two seasons, often there will be Days which are neither fall nor winter, when Sunlight is pale and earth reluctantly Accepts a mood of quietness again. \ Woods wear the vestige of tarnished gold, Prost slowly reaches to the root, and stills Brook-music; all the winds of dusk are cold; A misty purple hovers on the hills, Now is the time of that prophetic pause Before a seal of whiteness has been set On fields and autumn silently withdraws.

(II Cer. 5:7) T INGIDE QUEEN' RK TE EDITORIAL PA Toronto -- A pat on the baci for the Ontario Chamber of Com merce. The Chamber is advocating moi provincial parks and recreation centres and is asking the govern: ment to do something about it. As older readers know this is barking right up our alley. To your observer this is a field where a lot of good work could be done Not that a lot hasn't been done already. It has. The Department of Highways has been going ahead steadily with a good program of small parks and roadside stands. And there are the large provincial parks -.under Lands and Forests But thefe is still a big hole in t"e program. This is in the lack of provision for recreation centres for urban residents. A lot of attention has been given to the needs of the tourist and other sportsmen are being taken care of. But the residents who live in the cities have been ignored. And there is a lot that could be done for them, work that the prov- ince quite reasonably could as- sume. For instance in the vicinity of Toronto there are miles of shore- line along Lake Ontario, but no- where within easy distance is there any public park, except for those in the city limits run by the City of Toronto. - Such parks would do a very val- uable job. They are, in fact, badly needed. But there is no other body ' except the province that could properly organize them. The local municipalities in which the sites would be located haven't any strong point to create them. They wouldn't be contributing to their IRAN SEEKS NEW OIL WELLS By LEOPOLD HERMAN Tehran (Retuers) -- While the vast oil fields of Khuzistan and | the grant refinery at Abadan lie | idle, the Iranians are continuing | the search for oil their country. A test well begun in the spring between Qum, 92 miles north Teh- has reached the gas zone, an of- ficial announcement saiad. The prospects of finding oil at a! depth of 6000 feet were termed good. | Officials quarters make no men- tion of the use to which the crude oil would be put nor do there ap- | pear to be any immediate plans to set up a refinery to provide pro-| ducts for her small annual home | consumption of oil being found in commercial quantities in this re- gion, Indeed, it is difficutlt to see | how, in her present economic | plight, Iran could find the funds to construct even a small refin- ery to provide products for her small annual home consumption of oil--which Iranians estimate as 150,000 tons a year, plus 450,000 | tons of lamp oil. Abadan is too far away and in any case, even if Iran manages to bring it into operation again, it would be fully occupied refining Iranian oil exploration teams are also at work in the Caspian coastal regions, in the largely unexplored elsewhere in centre of Iran, on the coast of the Gulf of Oman, in the Bakhtiari mountains, in Sistan and Persian Baluchistan, and in the northern | frontier province of Azerbaijan. ® 30 Years Ago ~ Board of Education decided to investigate for all public school pupils a free source of vaccina- tion against smallpox.
