Guan Meeting of Churchill and Eisenhower Highly Important President-elect D. D. Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill have been meeting in New York. They have been talking over the problems in which their countries have a joint interest.- What subjects were discuss- ed and what was the trend of the discussion have not been revealed to the public. It was not expected that they would be. But it can be taken for granted that they were explor- ing the whole field of the international rela- tionships in which they, as the governing heads of their countries, will be "involved. The war-weary world has been regarding this meeting of Eisenhower and Churchill as one of more than usual importance. This is especially the case since Stalin has expres- sed a desire and a willingness to meet with Eisenhower, and the British government has insisted that Churchill also sit in at such a meeting. It is impossible to predict wheth- er a conference between the three great world feaders would produce any specific results in the direction of achieving a more peaceful atmosphere in the world. Never- theless, we believe the experiment would be worth while, just as the present talks be- tween Eisenhower and Churchill may very well open the door to closer co-operation be tween the United Kingdom and the United States in world affairs. In the United States, there have been heated assertions that Churchill had come to ask Eisenhower for further United States financial aid, for the assistance of more dol- lars to make possible convertibility of the pound. These assertions, we believe, are without foundation. We cannot for one mo- ment conceive of Churchill going hat in hand to Eisenhower in this way before the gen- eral has started his term as president. Their discussions, we believe, have had a far wider range than that, and have prob- ably been devoted to the greater problem of bringing nearer peace and security through- out the world. At least, that is the hope of the people of the free world, who see in these two great leaders the men to whom they look to bridge the gap , between the warring ideologies of democracy and com- munism, Oshawa's Housing Picture There is a good deal of inter®sting infor- mation in the annual report of the Assess- ment Commissioner for Oshawa for the year 1952, which has just been presented to the City Council. Of particular interest is a section which is devoted to the housing pic- ture in Oshawa as it is seen through the eyes of the assessor. According to the assessment commission- er's report, there were, at the time of making the assessment inspections for 1952, 12,321 housing units in Oshawa. Of these, 11,886 were occupied and 455 were vacant. Of the 11,886 occupied housing units, 9,170 were single family' homes and 1,164 were occu- pied by sub-tenants. There were 89 summer cottages occupied on a year round basis. The list also included 310 duplex suites, 244 multiple family suites, 393 apartment house suites and 364 suites used in connection with commercial properties. Farm homes account- ed for the other 132 housing units occupied. These figures, particularly the item re- parding sub-tenants, which include families Going Back to the A few years ago there was a great deal of talk about empty churches. Today things seem to be changing. Now it is becoming quite the usual thing to go to church and to find the building well filled, even at the evening services. One commentator on this fact pointed out that on a recent Sunday he was unable to find a seat in his church, either upstairs or downstairs--and this was not on the Sunday before Christmas. He furthér commented on the fact that 60 per cent of the persons present seemed to be under 40 years of age. There is a profound significance in the fact that people are beginning to flock back to church attendance. Not so many years ago, there was talk of combining congre- gations and selling many of the church pro- Editorial Notes It is easy to understand why Canada's employment figures are hitting high rec- ords. In 1939 there were 24,800 factories in Canada; today there are 38,100. Babies born this year have a life expec- tancy of 68, compared with 47 for babies born 50 years ago. That tells very convinc- Ingly the extent of the progress made by medical science since this century began. The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Daily Times.

DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for DECEMBER 11,683 and married couples living in one or two rooms, clearly indicate the need for more housing in Oshawa, in spite of the fact that there were 455 vacant housing units at the time of the assessment. Of these, 244 were homes' under construction and still unfinish- ed, 57 were summer cottages only used in the summer season and four were homes unfit for habitation, There were 83 single family homes and 67 vacant suites. These figures seem surprising in view of the cons stant and unfilled demand for housing ace commodation, It is difficult to understand why homes and suites should be standing vacant in these times. The important fact, however, that there were 1,164 families living as sub-tenants, and only about 150 vacant housing units available to provide them with individual home accommodation. Thus Oshawa's needs for housing are still urgent, and there is need for a greatly accelerated building pro- gram before it can be possible for all our families in the city to have single homes or suites to accommodate them, Church perties. Possibly this is still being contem- plated in some communities. By and large, however, the response of most people to re- ligion today is extremely encouraging. They are becoming sold on the idea that teligion is necessary for individuals and for the na- tion. This is at least a step in the right di- rection. Those who have been neglecting their church duties in recent years are now find- ing themselves in a group happily becoming a minority in our national life, And this happens to be one of the minorities which is decidedly on the wrong side of the fence as regards the enduring truth in which, through the ages, humanity has found its strength and life. It is time for those in this minority group to try switching to the majority. Other Editors' Views CANNOT BRUSH OFF CHARGES (Peterborough Examiner) The Currie report on the scandalous plundering, laxity and mismanagement at Petawawa calls for more than placating words from the Prime Minister and Olympian disengagement from the mess by oth- er Ministers and the military authorities. They can- not calmly stand on Olympus while horses--actual horses--rampage on the pay-roll of Petawawa. Nor can the affair be narrowed down to & few incidents in one section of one camp.

Optimists are sometimes Born, but all may become Such with practice by Half trying, because all That is necessary is to Smile whether things are Going well or badly.

Settle Claims For $180,000 After 12 Drown BUFFALO, NY. (AP) -- Eleven persons will share a settlement of $180,000 as a result of the sinking of the Great Lakes tug Sachem in Lake Erie two years ago. Federal Judge John Knight is- sued a final decree Wednesday awarding the damages. The Sach- em capsized and sank Dec. 18, 1950, The disaster took the lives of all: 12 crew members. Claims totalling $1,151,743 had been filed against Dunbar and Sul- livan Driedging Co. cwners of the diesel-powered vessel. But Knight dismissed these claims in directing approval of the $180,000 settlement, Knight ruled that the sinking was not caused by "the design, fault, carelessness or neglect" of the dredging company. Farmers Object To School Cost Over City Folk TORONTO (CP) -- Delegates to the annual meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said Wednesday farmers should not be asked to pay for schools to edu- cate the children fo city workers living on small rural holdings. The delegates expressed dissatis- faction at the rising costs of rural education. One committee report suggested that provincial and fed- eral governments be asked to pay for new schools. However, others felt more control would be retained by handling the matter through municipal government. CHEWS RAZOR BLADE, OK: BRIGHTON, England (AP)--Two- and-a-half year old George Zol- kiewka chewed up an old razor blade and swallowed 38 pieces of it, doctors reported here Wednes- day after a series of X-rays. "He's on a diet and is very chirpy,'" said & uurse. 'inere's no bleeding and uot a scratch on him." READERS' VIEWS Expression of Opinion On Freedom of The Press The Editor, The Times-Gazette Sir,--Apropos your editorial of this evening headed "Constitution- al Abortion" we donate the follow- i" 3 ouotations, none of them by a bogey-man Socialist, all of them by people steeped in the great tradi- tion of American Liberalism, and on that account obviously accept- able to you. A long-time fighter for a free press -- free from the shackles put upon it by its mon- opcly-minded owners this is what Harold Oakes had to say: "It is even more a pity that so many of the newspapers persist in representing a class interest, a money interest, instead of the pub- lic interest; that the Bill of Righs, excepting only the right of a press free from government interference or control, means litfle to them; that they oppose and misrepresent th> working man: that they ignore the rights of the underprivileged to justice, and equality of opportun. ity; that they color news, distort news, suppress news, and invent 'news' in favour of those with whom they are allied financially, and socially, and with whose ob- jectives they are in smypathy." The Temporary National Econo- mic Committee of the 76th Con- gress verified the testimony of O2%es thus: "Both press and radio are, after all, 'big business' and even when they possess the highest integrity, they are prisoners of their own beliefs." In March 1947 the Commission on Freedom of the Press, headed by Dr. Robert Hutchins, Chancellor of the University of Chicago, re- ported as follows after four years exhaustive investigation: "What the people shall read in the press is determined by the fact that the agencies of mass com- munication are 'big business' and their owners are 'big businessmen'. The newspaper, an instrument of prime importance to all the people, is controlled by a small minority of the people and is employed by that small minority in such a way as not to supply the people with the services they require. Protection against government is now "not enough to guarantee that a man who has something to say shall have a chance to say it. The own- ers, and managers of the press determine which persons, which facts, which versions of the facts, and Which ideas shall reach the public." Your editorial is in itself proof of the prcof of the forego.ng, since obviously many of the supporters of the Bill had something to say but only an opponent is quoted. Just recently in Australia the people of Victoria returned for the first time is its history a Labor government, throwing out a Liber- al-Tory coalition. I have searched the district press diligently but found not a word, although columns were given to the retention of a seat by the British Tories in a re- cent by-election -- could be Mr. Oakes and the others have got something- for the Socialists having a "unique disregard for the truth." it could be that if, and when it is displayed, it is made unique by the fact that the truth so seldom appears in he daily press they fail to recognize it when it does eventually show up! If in truth, Mr. Editor, the Labor Party's Bill was a constitutional abortion, it obviously was (since British quotations can be given to match those appearing here) the fruits of years of unconstitutional rape of public opinion by a press which, unlike the Socialists, is unis que in its almost pious regard for the unctuous lie, and the deft dis- tortion. Yours truly, T. GREEN, Secretary, C.C.F. - 724 Margaret Street, Oshawa. Protest Against Bounty For Shooting of Dogs The Editor, The Times-Gazette Sir: Judging 'from the reports in the Oshawa paper of late, re- garding the protest by the Ontario County Kennel Club against the by-law passed by last years coun- cil, it would seem that there is a little misunderstanding as to what the protest was against. As a member present at the meeting of the Kennel Club, which passed the motion to protest the by-law, may I say that the major- ity of the members felt the pro- vincial statute, 'giving permission to shoot any dogs found running at large on property where stock is habitually, kept, was quite suf- ficient to protect the rights of stockowners without the passage of the protested by-law which author- ized a bounty of $5.00 for each dog shot allegedly under such con- ditions. Personally, I was very pleased to know that many of the citizens of Oshawa had raised their voice in protest against this most unfair bounty by-law, and I hope this year's council will see fit to re- scind 1t. total of $1,155,130. W. J. Trick was elected mayor of Oshawa for 1923, with George T. Morris reeve, J. V. Hill first deputy reeve, F. L. Mason second deputy reeve and J. L. Whattan third deputy reeve. Members of the town counc! and municipal officials were gues of Mayor W. J. Trick at the an nual Mayor's banquet. Bailiff Frank Rogers of Whitb was summarily dismissed on] his office by Attorney-General W E. Raney following a sharp d agreement over a court case. G. D. Conant presented to th town council a new plan for mun icipal waterworks. Percy Punshon, for the 23rd' consecutive year, presided at th annual Mayor's banquet. The terffperature drcpped to eigh degrees below zero on the nigh of January 7-8. QUEEN'S PARK Both Conant and Hepburn Had Strong Human Touch DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- It was shocking to hear of the death of two former premijers within four days of each other. Hon Gordon Conant's passing was not unexpected. But the death of former premier Hepburn was startling. Thousands of words tribute have been written about both men. There is little we could add. If he wished one could write columns of reminiscences, particularly regard- ing Mr. Hepburn. But there is only the one thing we would like to say. REAL PERSONS This is that two real persons are no longer with us. One advantage of being in the press gallery here as a working newspaperman is that you grow to know our public figures as people. Real people. To the public at large they may not be much more than symbols. They are known only through their public appearances and the men that lie underneath are familiar to very few. But as newsmen in steady contact with them and their problems, we are among that very few. We meet them on the level of friends and fellows humans, And both Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Conant had a very human side. CONANT WAS SHY Mr. Hepburn nominated Mr. Con- ant, the Oshawa lawyer, as his successor when ill health forced him to retire in 1942. But lawyer or no, Mr. Conant was inherently shy. This meant he was never quite so easy to do business with as other men holding the same office have been. But this same shyness gave Mr. Conant a very human character, and to it he added a great serie of courtesy. HEPBURN DIFFERENT There was, of course, no such thing as shyness with Mr, Hepburn. There was nothing backward about! him. This in turn made him probably the easiest man we have ever had to deal with here. Reporters could sec him nearly, every day, and there was neve any ceremony to it. His door was always open, and he was never afraid of being questioned. One could see him in his office, stop him in the halls, speak to him in the barbershop or see him in the cabinet dining room. He was always genial and ready to be questioned. DOGGEDLY LOYAL With those who knew Mr. Hep- burn well the quality that prob- ably will live longer than any about him was his loyalty. He Bi stuck to his friends, sometimes it | seemed even to the point of blind- ness, And this quality in turn was § responsible for what was the great. test tragedy in his life, : He was trying a comeback in the 1945 election when it happened. He | made a personal appeal for funds, as had been his practice in the past. But as it hadn't been in the past, the going was rocky this © time. He got turndown after turndown. Men who were close personal friends, the men -who had profited through his administration, refused more than just a token donation. They were convinced he didn't have a chance. Mr. Hepburn could never understand it. It was utterly = foreign to his code. He carried that hurt to his grave. i Invalids Gain Pound A Day On New Coff NEW YORK, N.Y. -- (AP) -- You can gain a pound of weight a day on a new soup--which looks like black coffee. It is building up human strength before or after operations. It was the only food for 461 days for one woman while plastic surgery built her a new jaw and mouth, remov- ed in a cancer operation. It kept another person alive for a year during a coma. When laced with a little alco- hol, a single quart of the soup supplies 1,000 calories--and pro- teins, minerals, sugar and salt. Many patients take three quarts a day, and eat other things be- sides. You wouldn't want to drink it; it has a vile taste. It is fed, drops at a time, through a small tube going through the nose to the stomach. The tube isn't irritating and lets people eat and drink other things. The tube can be left in for days or weeks. Known as Prolac, the formula was developed by Dr. John EI- ee-like Soup liott, of Jackson: Memorial hos- pital in Florida, and the Dade County (Fla.) Blood Bank, Ine. It's made by breaking down pro- teins in defatted milk--and. add- ing minerals and other things. It is germ free. ~The soup also is being tested at Columbia university's college of physicians and surgeons here, Doctors often can use the soup to avoid blood transfusions to build up strength--or vein feeding of sugars or salts, Dr. John V. Scud- der of Columbia said. One man here, his weight down to 75 pounds and lacking appetite, soon gained 20 pounds and weathered a cancer operation, Dr. Scudder said. during an American Cancer society tour of cancer centers.
