We AL Rigats Reswrveo 4 gi po b | I Be Fares for Oshawa The application of the .Oshawa Railway Company for an increase in the fares charg- ed on the company's buses serving the city is a matter of much concern to a great many of the citizens of this community, The ap- plication asks for a fare of 12 cents cash or five tickets for 50 cents. The present rate of 10 cents cash and three tickets for 25 cents has been effective for only about : a year, and before that time, four tickets were sold for 25 cents. The new fares which the company is seek- ing to make effective represent an increase of 60 per cent over the fares which were in effect prior to the increase of a year ago, and 20 per cent over those now being ing bus fares than the balance sheet of the company, which, it is claimed, showed a loss of $62,000 in the first 11 months of 1952. There must be some study as' to how this balance sheet is made up, and of the charges which are made against the operating revenues. The question of the nature and extent of.the service being given to the people of Oshawa is also important. There are several areas which are clamoring for bus service which is not at present being given to them. It may be that, if a more com- prehensive service were given, the resultant "increase in revenues might be substantial, charged. Before an increase in rates of that extent is permitted, there should® be a thorough examination of all the factors which enter into the making of fares. There should be an opportunity for representatives of the city to make a close study of the actual 'financial position which is' said to make the higher fares necessary, so that they can, quite properly, protect the rights of the citizens. There is more to the question of increas- Old City Hall Not Members of the City Council received quite a shock the other evening when they found that two firms of building wreckers wanted the icity to pay them for demolish- ing the old city hall and clearing the site. A third firm offered a bid of $450 for the old building, and the council was quick to ac- cept that offer. It may seem to many citizens that thie is an insignificant sum for the city to receive for its old city hall building. As a matter of fact, the council was fortunate to receive any bids which did not ask for payment for taking it away. The building as it stands to- day has only a doubtful salvage value. We can recall the photographs which appeared in The Times-Gazette some thrée or four years ago showing the state of decay of many of the beams and' other parts of the : The question for someone to decide is whe- ther they would be sufficient to offset the extra cost of extending these services. We are not prepsred, on the information available, to say that the increase should not be granted, or that it should, What we do say, however, is that in view of all that is involved from the standpoint of the citi- zens of Oshawa, the application should be allowed to go to the Ontario Municipal Board, 'where the viewpoint of the citizens can be fully presented by counsel repre- senting the City Council. Worth Much "structure. On the other hand, the cost for labor to demolish the building and make the materials contained in it available for use as second hand materials will be consider- able. Even at the price of $450, the suc- cessful bidder is taking quite a gamble on being able to reimburse himself for the cost of demolition and removal of the materials. It is recognized, of course, that while the building in itself would not bring much fi- nancial return to the city, the site is an en- tirely different matter. Located as it is in the business section of Oshawa, it'is a valu- able piece of property. Even as a parking lot, it would bring in a considerable revenue to the city. That fact may provide some consolation for those aldermen who were sadly disappointed when they found they ould not realize a few thousand dollars from sale of the old structure. Control of Potato Acreage, The province of Prince Edward Island has long been noted as Canada's most, proli- fic potato-growing area. In spite of the 'ac- knowledged quality of Ontario grown pota- toes, it is a fact that huge shipments of tu- bers come from Prince Edward Island to On- - tario, and that they command a higher price than do the potatoes grown in our own Hro- vince. The farmers of the little island pro- vince depend to a very large extent on po- tatoes for their livelihood. Because of this situation, a proposal which has been made by the Potato Growers' Asso- ciation of PEI, that acreage control be in- troduced to the industry in that province, is of interest here. The past year has seen , over-production in the Maritimes. The grow- 'ers are doubtful if they will be able to dis- pose of their surplus crops, Therefore, in order to maintain profitable orice . levels, they are proposing to limit the acreage of potatoes that can be grown on any one farm. That is a step which would have the effect of putting an actual floor under prices, rather. than an artificial government-imposed one, by restricting supply to meet the.demand only. There is nothing new in this acreage con- . trol by a branch of the agricultural industry Editorial Notes After seeing the newspaper pictures on ice storm damage elsewhere in Ontario, we feel grateful that we live in Oshawa, which was passed over by this visitation. ~The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Daily Tfmes-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) combining Ihe Jshawa Times scaabished 187) and the Whitby Gazette & and News Chroaicl de ( a! daily 48 883) somber ot The Canadian Press, the Canadian Daily papers Association, the American Newspaper Publishers As- sociation, the Datario provincial | Dailies 'Association and the be Audit dian Press is v entitled to the use for republical of all news d the paper credited to It or 16 The Associated Press or and also the local news published therein.

It has been practised for many years, and with great success by the tobacco growers of Ontario, who have, each year, of their own volition, adopted controls by which' each grower is told the exact acreage of tobacco he can grow. In this way, the market is safeguarded against over-production bringing about an abnor- mal surplus. This rule is made effective by a provision that growers who refuse to adopt acreage control cannot be members of the marketing organization which markets all of the tobacco grown by its members in Ontario. They would be debarred from marketing privileges, and that is sufficient to bring about voluntary adoption of acreage control. There may be sound reasons for exercis- ing this control over production, but it is a sad reflection on the position in which we find ourselves today. So far as potatoes are, concerned, they are vital human food. Yet at a time when food scarcity is keeping millions of people hungry, it seems strange to 'limit food production. From the stand- point of putting a prop under declining prices, it might be effective. From the stand- point -of meeting the human needs for food, it just does not make sense.

IMPETUS TO New Brunswick Mineral Discovery Significant By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA---The discovery of a huge deposit of copper, zinc and lead ores 20 miles south of Bath- urst, N.B.,, is already accepted here as the most significant min- ing discovery made in Canada for many years. "We have got to believe the preliminary assays just reported; and from what these figures des- cribe, this is a very very important discovery," I was told by Dr. George Hume, the federal govern- ment's top expert on mineral de- velopment. The significance of this appar- ently fantastically rich strike is threefold. First, it has uncovered a po- tential source of enormous wealth and considerable highly-paid em- ployment in one of Canada's less privileged areas, The province of the United Empire' Loyalists has felt rather like the pauper of the New World whose younger brothers all struck riches such as Dame Fortune had never laid at his own feet. Now New Brunswick no longer has to believe that its career is past; that it .can only harvest a poor livelihood from pitprops and Christmas trees cut from the wood- lands which once yielded tall timbers envied by every land in the days of wooden sailing ships. OPEN NEW MINING LAND Second, this find has finally killed the belief that our great undeveloped mineral riches lie ex- clusively beneath the sub-arctic barrenlands of the inhospitable Laurentian Shield. If the citizens of Bathurst, in one of our longest-settled districts, have been sleeping unsuspecting on top of what may become one of Canada's richest mines, then who knows what wealth of gold or of atomic age -minerals may not lie unsuspected beneath our own Main street or near our fav- orite swimming hole. Thirdly, this new supply of strat- egic minerals will strengthen the free world's war potential. Canada is already the leading exporter of zine, and the third largest ex- porter of lead and copper. The Bathurst mines will put us still further ahead of our nearest rival as the world's richest storehouse of non-ferrous minerals. The rate at which this new min- ing country will be developed des, pends of course upon the decisions and resources of the interests which have staked the claims. This in turn will dictate requirements of power, of labor, of transport. ation and of secondary industries likely to be based on the mines, New Brunswick is of course one of our less favored provinces in the matter of natural sources of cheap power, Ontario and Que- bec have water power; the Prairies have oil and natural gas; other provinces have coal, New Brun- swick might have had moon power if President Roosevelt had been able to. implement his dream of harnessing the high tides of Pass- amaquoddy bay. FIRST ATOMIC POWER I learn that one of our first atomic power plants may be built in New Brunswick to compensate that province, and to attract in- dustry to our great ice-free ocean port of Saint John. Smelters to treat the new-found ore are certain to be built nearby. The nearest copper smelter is at Noranda ®Quebec, 600 miles away, The only zinc smelter in Canada is at Trail, B.C., so far away that zinc ore from northern Quebec has until recently been shipped to Bélgium for smelting. If the 25-mile-long Bathurst staked area all matches the $750,000 per foot depth proved on the trial site, wealthy new mining towns will spring up among those Christmas trees: and this new min- eral strike will strengthen the economy of the whole of Canada, in the view of Ottawa's first- guessers. U.S. Red Jets Fight Daily Shadow Battle TOKYO (AP)--American and Russian jet pilots are fencing bloodlessly--and almost daily---over the frozen wastes of northern Ja- pan, a U, S. general reported I day in an interview. Thus far they haven't tangled, but Maj.-Gen. Delmar T. Spivy cal- led the situation 'tense and ex- plosive." Spivy organized Japan's air de- fence--manned by U. S. pilots in U. 8. planes--and commanded it 2% years. He left today to take command of the U. 8. central air defence zone with headquarters at Kansas City. He said the Russians have doz- ens of airfields on Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands--the closest only 13 seconds flying time from north- eastern Hokkaido, "We are watching them and they are watching us," Spivy said. "When they fly we see them and when they head towards Japan that triggers off the air defence sys- tem." U. 8. jets streak into northern Hokkaido, Japan's snowbound, northernost island, on frequent alerts. > Sakhalin is separated from hok- . kaido by 30 miles of Soya straits but Spivey pointed out that, from northeastern Hokkaido, the near- est Russian - held Kurile Island is only 2% miles. "That means Russiam territory is only 2% miles from Hokkaido," he said, '"At 600 miles per hour, that's 13 seconds from their terri- tory to ours." Russian planes engage in "'train- ing," gunnery and bombing near Japanese territory," the general 'disclosed. He said there had been no proven violation of Japanese territory by Russian jets since last week's announcement of the Jap- anese government that such viola- tors would be shot down--by U. 8. pilots. Japan is defended by F-84 Thund- erjets and F-94 interceptor jets. The air force has not confirmed MAC'S MUSINGS It has been said that God gave us memories So that we might have Roses in December, And the thought behind That statement comes Hoem very forcibly to Those whose memories are Filled with experiences That on being recalléd Bring a rich glow of Recurring pleasure. It is surprising how Much we depend on our Memories of things past To make us realize that Life has been wonderfub. And has been kind to us. No matter what our lot, Or in what places in life We may find ourselves, We can all recall some Incidents, some phases of Life which have been Particularly happy and Which we delight to recall, _ So we find that our life Of 'today is not made up Merely of the things of The present time, but That it is the sum of All we have experienced In years that are past, And which bullt toge Create a structure which Enables us to understand All the world about us, In the days that now are. In the book of eshory There are many On which we 'have nT Stories that are indelible, And that we would not Wish to have wiped from The pages of that book, Which even if it exists Only in fancy can give Constant pleasure as we Turn over its pages in Our minds and live again These unforgotten days. SEEN IN DAYLIGHT To the naked eye, Venus is the most beautiful of all the .planets, says the National Geographic So- ciety. Periodically it appears as both the morning and evening star, so brilliant that it can be seen in daylight. Several reports of flying saucers have been traced to such appearances of Venus. reports that Sabre jets---which hunt MiGs in Korea--are also poised to catch Russian MiGs over Hokkaido. Spivy said, the Russians "have 'an excellent radar system on Sak- halin and the southern Kuriles--as goon as the U. 8. system if pot etter." : The Investment Dealers Association of Cenade THOMSON, KERNAGHAN & CO.
