DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for NOVEMBER $11,225 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1951 Caring for the Aged Tomorrow, at Whitby, the opening cere- money is being held of Fairview Lodge, On- tario County Home for the Aged. This will be .a noteworthy occasion, marking the be- ginning of a new era of comfort and beau- tiful surroundings for those aged people who have become the wards of the county, and who are provided with a home in their de- clining years. It symbolizes the desire of the people of this county to see that the old folks are cared for in a way befitting our modern civilization, in recognition of the part which they have taken in the earlier years of their lives in the progress of their country and community. The new county Home for the Aged is a splendid structure, designed to provide for its occupants quarters which will be the last word in comfort and convénience. It is modern in conception and design, and its rooms are bright and airy, in. striking con- trast to the old House of Refugé which serv- ed as an old people's home for many years. The committee which has been responsible for its construction is to be complimented on the great amount of careful thought which went into the planning of the build- ings. The opening of the new Home for the Aged will be hailed with satisfaction by all the peoplé of Ontario county and the City of Oshawa. While in its planning stages it was the subject of considerable controversy between county and city councils, the dif- ferences which existed were ironed out, so that it becomes a project in which the city and county authorities are partners. In the yedrs to come, the old people who need a home will reap the benefits of this partner- ship effort, and will be cared for in an insti- tution in which they can take considerable pride. And no one will object to the expendi- ture involved in the building of the new Home for the Aged, since it is undoubtedly the general wish of all our citizens that those who will occupy it should be given the very best of care and attention in the closing years of their lives. Education Not Ended The past wéekend has seen commence- ment exercises held at the two Oshawa sec- ondary schools, the OCVI and the OCCI Pupils who graduated last June were award- ed their diplomas, and numerous prizes and scholarships were presented to meritorious pupils. In connection with these exercises, the name of "commencement' is well chosen, for graduation does not mean the end of education. Rather does it mean the begin- ning of a new phase in the lives of the young people who have graduated from the local schools. It is interesting to note that a leading in- dustrial executive complains that modern education is not turning out students who are fitted to move into our complex society and mechanized industry. His thought is that after formal education is completed, there is still a need for further training for young people. The educational system, it s true, provides valuable information for pupils, but its chief benefit is the training of the mind to think clearly and draw proper conclusions from such thinking, Very often the educated per- son is lacking in essential information on many subjects, but as a result of this train- ing of the mind, he knows where tq look for the material he requires. Schools and col- Jeges do not provide complete education in all lines of activities, nor can they be expect- ed to do so. As a matter of fact, the educa- tion of youth does not end when he leaves school or college. It continues on through the whole of. life. His early training merely fits him to desire, seek and absorb education. If our schools continue, as they are now doing, to turn out pupils who are bright and ; 7 pony Direot Post Office Department, 9] intellectually-minded, with minds trained to operate quickly and along logical lines, there will be no reason to fear that our young people will fail to move successfull; in our complex society and mechanized industry. This we feel sure the great majority of the graduates of our Oshawa secondary schools will be capable of doing as they continue their education which has been so well begun in the OCVI and OCCI. Miss MacPhail for Senator Considerable support is being shown in several quarters for a proposal that Prime Minister St. Laurent give recognition to, the long period of public service by Miss Agnes. MacPhail by appointing her to the Senate of Canada. This proposal has a great deal of merit, because while Miss MacPhail is not, and never has been, a supporter of the Liberal party, she is a woman who has been outstanding in the public and political life of Canada and the Province of Ontario. It is recognized, of course, that it is tra- ditional for the government in power to appoint only members of its own party to the Senate. This has been responsible for the fact that the Senate today is an overwhelm- ingly Liberal body, since that party has been in power since 1936, -and has appointed all the Senators since then This great prepon- derance of Liberal members of .he Senate is not a good thing, and we feel that even the most rabid Liberais would forgive Mr. St. Laurent if he honored Miss MacPhail by appointing her to that body. Miss MacPhail has been a factor in the political life in Canada for 30 years. I was in December, 1921, that she was .irst elected a member of the House of Commons, and with only a few lapses, she has been in tha. House and in the Ontario Legislature for most of the intervening years. She is certainly well equipped to make an outstanding contribu- tion to the business of the Senate, and the fact that she has been prominent in the CCF party would give to the Senate a view- point that is now entirely lacking. It would be a fitting conclusion to a life of public service, during which she has had no opportunity of acquiring very much of this world's goods, were Mr. St. Laurent to break with traditions for once, and appoint Miss MacPhail to the Senate.

Sometimes their arguments are fair and sound. Frequently they are fallacious and no defence at all. No person has the right to create an accident, no matter what his own opinion of his "rights' may be. The attitude of. the courts in these times is an eminently sensible one: was the vehicle being operated "in a careful and pru- : dent manner having regard to all the eircumstances?" e A Bit of Verse THE SHEPHERD'S CHRISTMAS When rt the lambing time I keep Long vigil with my patient sheep And neither they nor I can sleep, I think of shepherd-men like me Who spent a night as wakéfully, And what their eyes were blest to see. The snow falls blinding-thick and white Around me where I watch tonight; I hear no Voice, I see no Light; And yet for me the stable-door Opens in Bethlehem once more As nineteen hundred years before. With folk like me I kneel and say My Gloria this Christmas Day To little Jesus In the hay, And like the men of Bethlehem foo poor to offer gold or gem I give my faithful heart with them. --AUDREY ALEXANDRA BROWN ® A Bible Tuought e True Christmas joy -- "My spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:47.) p NOJ A CREATURE WAS STIRRING--! 7 Global TV Networks Bud on Horizon New York -- Following in the footsteps of its long-established radio brother, television is. well on its way to becoming an inter- national communications medium. While still in the experimental stages in many countries, and hampered by economic considera- tions and the lack of skilled staffs, television is developing at a pace | that has encouraged planners to think optimistically in terms of national and even international TV networks all over the globe in the not too distant future. Right now, 14 nations, includ- ing the United States, have tele- | vision transmitters on the air and at least a like number have an- nounced plans to establish a TV service of their own. In most European countries television will be operated and controlled by the state and run along the lines of the British Broadcasting Corpora- tion, which is now know for the vitality of its TV programs. PATTERNED AFTER US. TV But others, particularly in South America, are pattérning their plans after the American system of commercially sponsored tele- vision. The equipment for most of the world television market comes from the United States, which stands ready to supply both | receivers and transmitters in competition with British manu- facturers. Some of the common- wealth nations have taken their cue from Britain and will operate under the British system, which 'differs from American TV with its 525 standard lines. The vast majority of the: Euro- pean and South American broad- casters have adopted the 625-line, | 50-cycle type of transmission which can be picked up by Ameri- can receiving instruments. Be- sides Britain, the only other ex- ception is France, which operates on a 819-line standard. With the introduction of nation- al networks in mind, an attempt was made in Geneva this year to adopt general television standards, but no agreement was reached. Another try will be made in Buenos Aires next year. INTERCHANGE OF PROGRAMS At this moment, discussions have taken place for the inter- change of TV programs between Britain and France and between the United States and Mexico. When Canada's two television sta- tions take to the air, they will be able to relay American network shows from Buffalo and Detroit. There has also been talk of a South American network. Every once in a while viewers in one country report receiving telecasts from stations thousands of miles away. Russian broadcasts | nave been picked up in central Europe and a BBC program once was seen in South Africa. It is believed the phenomenon results from television signals being re- flected from ionic clouds and bounced back to earth hundreds and even thousands of miles away. Countries with one or more tele- vision stations on the air include the United States, France, Great Britain, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Russia, Mexico, and Japan. The trans- mitters in Switzerland, Italy, and by the government, but this in- evitably foreshadows better things to come. 107 STATIONS IN U.S. Nations which have indicated they have plans to put television on the air eventually are Spain, Belgium, Union of South Africa, Australia, Thailand, Canada, Co- lombia, Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Dominion Republic, Uruguay, Venezuela, and India. Three' stations also are planned for North Africa. While the United States leads the field with 107 stations, other countries have come closer to saturating their entire area with a TV signal. Cuba, for one, cur- rently has two stations operating in Havana and has six more plan- ned which should take care of every inch of the narrow island. Japan, too, is planning two TV networks -- one commercial and | one governngent-operated--to cov- | er its entire population. Britain recently opened its third video transmitter, at Holme Moss, and about one-half of Britain's population now are within TV range. British programs are the only ones which can compare with United States shows. In most countries, stations are on the air for only a few hours. Film is the favarite entertainment fare, sup- plemented with sports events, news, and occasionally plays and concerts. In France, where TV development is limited, a color video system has been developed. PRAIRIE FARM IS NEW SOURCE OF MARGARINE Saskatoon (CP) -- A group of Saskatchewan farmers have an about face on margarine. Instead of fighting it, they'll make the butter substitute themselves. "We have no prejudice against margarine any more,'"' said George Urwin, president of Saskatchewan Federated cooperatives. C. T. Gooding manager of the Saskatchewan dairy pool, added: "Margarine has been giving the dairy industry a ride. We believe that rather than have margarine hurt us we should have it help us." Last year 10 million pounds of margarine was brought into Sask- atchewan from outside the prov- ince. The Saskatchewan farmers decided they might as well cut themselves in on' the profits. "We're going to take the ball away from the soap companies and other manufacturers of margarine and keep the savings for Saskatch- ewan," said Mr. Urwin, whose 300 retail cooperative stores have been selling between 6000 and 7000 pounds of imported margarine a week at about 43 cents a pound, Butter is selling here at 69 cents. The dairy pool and the feder- ated cooperatives are controlled by some- 120,000 -Saskatchewan farm- ers. The two organizations have organized a subsigfiery. Western Foods Ltd., to manufacture mar- garine. lquipment owned by the dairy pool will be used. USE DAIRY PRODUCTS An aim of the new enterprise will be to make maximum use of dairy products. Legislation may be necessary. Saskatchewan law now requires that at least 80 per cent of any butter substitute be vege- table oils. Western Foods Ltd. will be able to incorporate about 16 - per - cent whole milk in its prod- uct, but Mr. Urwin and Mr. Good- ing would like to see the propor- tions reversed. Sponsors of the plan see another long - range advantage for Sask- atchewan farmers, who long have been urged to lessen their reliance on grain growing. They will encourage farmers to grow sun- flowers, whose seeds yield a high- grade vegetable oil. Southern Manitoba has had con- siderable success in growing sun- flowers for salad oils. In northern Saskatchewan, about 100 experi- mental sunflower plots were set out this year, Already there is a vegetable oil extraction plant in Saskatoon, which has been pro- cessing oil for low - quality European margarine.

B.C.MayHave Ocean Port In Far North Stewart, B.C. (CP) -- Changing | nature may some day give British Columbia a salt-water port above the 56th parallel of latitude. Stewart now is Canada's most northerly Pacific port. It lies on the Alaska boundary at the head of Portland canal, some 500 miles north of Vancouver and 120 miles north of Prince Rupert. | When the Canada-Alaska bound- | ary was fixed more than 50 years | ago, it seemed Canada would never | have access to salt water north | of her. Some 200 miles north of here, the Grand Pacific glacier at that time filled the entire valley of the Tarr. But the glacier began to re- that at the head of Tarr inlet a strip of flat land half a mile long and 500 feet wide bordered a deep- water harbor more than half a mile inside the Canadian bound- ary. An engineer was sent north and he reported it would be possible to build piers to take large ships because of the steep slant of the in- let bottom close to shore. The inlet is free of ice the year round and the glacier no longer "calfs'; that is, pieces don't split off the glacier to become icebergs. However, it will probably be a long time before the bared shore is used as a port, if ever. Glaciers and mountains wall in the shore- front and until the ice has receded far enough to open a way through the ranges to the interior, no use can be made of it.
