Expansion The announcement made yesterday by William A. Wecker, president and general manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, regarding construction in Oshawa of a new truck assembly, plant at a cost of $10 million was a splendid piece of news for Oshawa. This represents, from the stand- point of dollars and cents, the greatest single construction project ever undertaken in the city of Oshawa. It represents, too, an out- standing mark of the confidence which is held by General Motors of Canada in the future development of this country and in Oshawa as an industrial centre. This expansion of the General Motors manufacturing and assembly facilities in Oshawa is a big step forward both for the company and the community. It is a recogni- tion of the great part which is being played in the development of Canada by the heavy trucking industry, s part which is bound to become even greater with the opening up of new areas rich in natural resources. With the new plant in operation, General Motors should make a worthy contribution to sup- plying the needs of the country for truck transport of the large type which is now coming into common use in many fields of activity. The construction of a $10 million plant is no light undertaking. This is made evident by the fact that this figure is well ahead of the total of building permits issued in Osh- awa in even the whole of its greatest year of building activity. It is therefore obvious that because of this project, the building figures for Oshawa will reach an all-time high level in 1952. This, of course, will create much employment in the erection of the building, ta Director. and should absorb all the available labor. in | the building trades. The company is modest in its statement as to the employment poten-' tialities of the new plant, indicating that it merely means a transfer of truck-building operations from one plant to another. But it is safe to say that when it is completed and in operation, the new truck plant will play its part in keeping employment in Oshawa at a high level. Easter Seal Campaign An aspect of democracy which sets it apart from other forms ot society is found in the voluntary co-operation of its citizens. All around us, almost every day, examples of this are to be seen, in the organization of groups for various reasons, joined willing- ly, and usually for the purpose of improving social conditions. ; In the annual sale of Easter Seals, launch- ed in Oshawa today, there is revealed an example of an activity which brings together many helping hands from many vocations and professions. Many benefit from this activity. The purpose of this voluntary co- operation is the improvement of the lot of handicapped youngsters, children with de- formities from birth or crippled by disease or accident. In our own community of Osh- awa and the surrounding district, through the efforts of the Rotary Club, a helping hand has been held out to them, and great things have been achieved in correcting their conditions and teaching them to live happier and self-sustaining lives despite their handi- caps. » The Ontario Society for Crippled Children, which is also assisted through the sale of Easter Seals, offers the rallying point for more than 180 service clubs throughout the province which sell seals to finance the _Society's work. But it does not stop there. The clubs, in their various cities, towns or townships, co-operate with the field nurses of the society in ga; deserving chil- dren whose conditions can be corrected and their handicaps overcome. The Society en- lists the services of top-flight surgeons and physicians who vblunteer their skills, It operates both permanent and occasional clinics where children are assembled. It pro- vides special care, summer camps, even special furniture for particularly needy cases. ; This is the best aspect of democracy in action. And to the individual citizen it offers an opportunity to co-operate in making all this possible. All of us can help by buying Easter Seals during the next few weeks, and can feel that we are partners in a great work by contributing to it as generously as we can. Vandalism in Oshawa The report of the Board of Works, stating that thousands of dollars of damage are done annually by vandals who have no respect for civic or any other property, is not surpris- ing. Any citizen with ordinary powers of observation must have noticed many signs of this type of wanton destruction of prop- erty. Nothing seems to be immune that can be damaged in any way, and the young vandals who are responsible seem to care little about the cost of repairing the damage they do, or replacing the articles they remove. Oshawa, of course, is not alone in this. It seems to be common to most communities in these modern days. For instance, the other day we heard some shocking reports of damage done to the large recreation hall, facilities at Ajax by young people with no regard for public property. In fact, use of the Ajax swimming pool had to be dis- continued because of the damage done to it by vandals. It is not easy to find a remedy for this sort of thing. Obviously, not police force can have members on hand wherever vandalism might occur. As a rule, those guilty of it make sure that there are no policemen any- where in sight before they begin their depra- dations. The chief cure for it lies in proper measures of home training, so that from their earliest years young people will be taught to respect the property of others, whether it be publicly or privately owned. This is a co-operative job in which the main responsibility rests with the parents, and in whigh minor roles can be played by school teachers and the Sunday school. It is a job that needs attention and the first place in which it should be undertaken is in the home.

This desire to escape parental responsibility can sometimes lead to great sorrow, and remorse can never repair the damage brought about by thought- lesaness, LITTLE GIRL GROWS UP (Wall Street Journal) The little girl who used to grasp a penny firmly in one hand and press her nose against the glass in a candy counter has now grown up and can be seen at a meat counter with the same look on her face as she clutches a ten dollar bill. ° A Bit of Verse o SNOWPLOW All night the snow fell, But that winter day Brought a clear morning and the road-gang men Were early up pushing the drifts away. We came across the fields to watch, and then The ice cracked in the pond, loud as a shot. And we called out and laughed: "Listen to spring! All of this husky labor, and for that? Let the sun do your work of shoveling!" The snow-plow lurched and lumbered, building white Sierras as it went. The men waved back Before they took the turning out of sight. They had not heard the shifting pond-ice erack, That urgent promise of a sudden thaw. Snow fell last night, and snow was all they saw. --SARA KING CARLETON.

But the government side also isn't without its bright stars. This was particularly brought home the other day when John Yaremko, the young PC who re- placed LPP'er A. A.

Mr. Yaremko who is a 'new Canadian" of Ukrainian ancestry made an exceedingly good speech. {Oshawa's Passing Scene \_ AS SEEN BY "THE OBSERVER" He was concise, clear and easy, in every way an accomplished speaker.
