United Easter Seal Campaign Is Opportunity for Citizens An aspect of democracy which sets it apart from other forms of society is found in the voluntary co-operation of its citizens in igood works. All around us, almost every day, examples of this are to be seen, in the ; orghnization of groups for worthy causes, joined willingly and usually Producing ef- fective effort. In" the annual sale of Easter Seals, laimChed in Oshawa today, there is seen an example of an activity which brings to- gepher many helping hands from many vogations , #nd professions. * Many benefit frém this activity. Its purpose is the im- pravement of the lot of handicapped young- stérs, children with deformities from . birth orgrippled by disease or accident. In our own community of*Oshawa and the sur- rounding district, through the efforts of the Rotary Club,"a helping hand has been held out to them. Great things have been achieved in correeting their disabilities and teaching them to live happier and self- adftaiging lives despite their handicaps. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children, which is also assisted through the sale of Easter Seals, offers the rallying point for some 200 service clubs throughout Ontario. These clubs sell the seals which finance the gociety's work. But it does not stop there. The clubs, in their various cities, towns or townships co-operate with the field staff of the society in seeking out deserving children whose conditions can be corrected. The Society enlists the services of top-flight' surgeons and physicians who volunteer their skills. It operates both permanent and occa- sional clinies where children are assembled. It provides special care, summer camps, even special furniture for particularly needy cases. This is the finest aspect of democracy in action. To the individual citizen it offers an opportunity to co-operate in making all this possible. All of our citizens can help by*buy- ing Easter Seals during the next few weeks. Then they can feel that they are partners in a great work by contributing to it as generously as possible. Not Keen for End of Rationing It is interesting, and somewhat puzzling to' note that, according to reports in the British press, many of the British people are not anxious to see an end to food ration- ing. One would have imagined that, after 18 years of ration books and short sunplies, they would be glad to have it ended, so that they could do their shopping freely with no restriction on the amount that they could buy. ' 'It is not, however, working out that way. It appears that the average British house- wife feels that under rationing there was a fair distribution of the available food supplies. Without it, she feels that those who Jave plenty i money will buy up all Canada Ready for Something of a semsation was caused by the: 'vhcent revelations by Pat Walsh, former Communist, that Moscow had given orders to': 'Canadian Communists to be ready to sabotage power plants and industries, and to set. five to forests, in the event of an outbreak of war. This statement was, after all, not 'surprising, because it follows the exact ipattern of what might be expected fromthe followers of the Moscow ideology. We. dé not feel there is much cause for alarm in this statement, however. We have complete confidence in the work of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to keep known Comraunjste under surveillance. 'Should war i. out; we are confident, these enemies ECénada would very quickly find them- i in custody, and removed from the possibility of doing harm. ' Whis revelation recalls to mind an inter- esting incident which occurred in March of 1939, and which showed that adequate precautions can be taken against sabotage. Editorial Notes Only a few more days and spring will be here officially. Let us hope the weather man realizes it. ® History is repeating itself. Holland is once again planning to build mammoth dikes to keep out the sea. " The burning question of the day is whether Malenkov will be any better or . any Yorse tr, Stalin. < The Daily Pimes-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Daily Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) Oshawa Times (sxabiished wn and the hs 1 statutory holiday excepted) Member of The Canadian Press, the Sanadiag Daily News: i i the Oar Pre] Dailies 'Association and the tien vy "the use {oF republication of all new despaichs in n he PADEr Credlied hd Fublined § therein. ro Tights or special despatches herein are also ved.

There is also the fear that with ration- ing ended, the law of supply and demand will operate to force up prices to uneconomic levels, and the average income will be sorely strained to provide the necessities of life. Th-re is a good deal in that argument. It has been seen that when rationing of candies was abolished, the stores were at once besieged by eager buyers with plenty of money to spend, and available supplies were quickly exhaustd. The housewife can- not be blamed for thinking that the same thing might happen with other commodi- ties. That is an angle which seems hard to understand in this land of plenty, but it is nevertheless a very important one. Sabotage In that month, Inspector Hammond of the Provincial Police came into possession of a plan for a torpedo whieh was to be placed in the Chippewa Canal, through which it would float down into the huge power plant at Queenston and wreck it. It had all the appearance of authenticity. One day while the Legislature was in session, there was a hurried conference between Premier Hep- burn, Attorney-General Conant and George Drew, leader of the opposition, in the speak- r' office. Inspector Hammond disclosed the information he had. The three leaders agreed that there should be immediate guarding of the Chippewa Canal and the Queenston power plant, and immediately, six months before the outbreak of war, guards were placed on duty at these strategic points. There was no sabotage. ' This shows what can be done in the way of protecting vital installations from sabo- tage, and we are confident that the RCMP and Provincial Police of today are well pre- pared for any emergency. A Bit Of Verse COUNTRY STARS There is a country kind of stars Found only where the night is still, Where darkness walks in old soft shoes Through farmyards, over creek and hill. These are the friendly stars that ride In lanterns swung from hands of men, That silently keep company From house to barn and back again, They are the special elfin stars Which have been cut to meet the size Of children's rapture, and are set Within the tails of fireflies. They are the shy wild stars that cateh In a deer's gaze, when curious He pauses at the pasture edge To look across the fence at us. ~ Vega is far more fabulous, Arcturus sheds a farther light, But smaller country stars come close To make a friendly sort of night. Ruth Morehouse Bible Thought "I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and. gave Himself for me." (Gal. 2:20). "Faith touches not our intellects merély, nor emo- tions merely, but supremely our wills. And this is the way out of the darkness, for it leads us to be Sooupiey with God and not with ourselves." =J.

OFFICER OF THIS TIGHTLY KNIT CREW QUEEN'S PARK More Fire This Session In Liberal Opposition DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gasette TORONTO -- The Liberal oppo- sition is much better this year. It still won't set the world on fire. But it isn't the completely lost group it was last session. There's been some 'meat in its criticism instead of the former eneralities. And its stands have ad some backbone. It won't get medals for heroism, but "it also hasn't hung its head when the vashIent barked back. URRIED CALL The improvement is getting re- sults. The government is more on its toes. It's been feeling some of the barbs. : This was demonstrated Friday when Mr. Frost made a hurried shuffle in his batting 'order, Instead of Hon. Welland Gemmell, was scheduled to speak in the throne debate, he substituted Hon, Fletcher §, omas, minister of agriculture and former minister of ublic works. INCH HIT Mr. Tomas was sent in to answer the charges made by Al- bert Wren on government purchas- ing. And the former works min- ister iy BR vigorously and hit some long ball He scored a 8 ome run 'with his reply to the claim that tenders hadn't been asked on ooal con- tracts. On the particular contract talked about, that for the Burtch industrial farm near Brantford, he reported that 191 dealers had been written personal letters inviting them to bid. Similar letters had gone out to 479 dealers on other coal. con- who' tracts, 'In all cases the low bid had been accepted when consis- tent with qu standards. CAUGHT COALED The Liberals were out on a limb when the minister n this was a far different 'situation than with "the former regime." Wo reference was to well- known situation under the Hepburn government where a certain coal merchant in Western Ontario was shipping coal all Sver 4 the province, north, east, south and west. The Liberals "didn't have much to say about this one. Neverthe- less their sharper opposition is doing the government good as well ag. themselves as e Thomas 8 FoR PROMINENT Mr, Wren ' Pr been the spear- head of the sition, And this has had an For ental result which is gratifying. With the Liberal member coming from Kenora he has spoken a bout, 'the north and northwest and this has meant more attention to this . section of 'the provinge than the House has seen S, MAYBE 1955 va ED us of a forecast Alec 'Macleod the former LPP member made in 1950. One might disagree with Mr. Macleod's pol- itics, but there was no dispute about his ability as a political analyst. And in his statement at the time he predicted that the next provincial election would be fought on the issue of the forest and mineral resources of the north. This didn't hold true in the 1951 vote. But the way things are going now it well might by the next OTTAWA REPORT election, probablys in 1955. Artificially Grown Grain Gives Five Crops a Year By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gasette OTTAWA -- Five complete grain crops are now being planted, ripened and harvested within a 12 months period in a Joverninent experimental farm building here The artificial sun working this magic is permanent fluorescent lighting. There is no future for wheat farmers in Saskatchewan or for beet farmers in Ontario in this '~ method because of the high initial cost for the coverall building. It is used here because of its advan- taegs in speeding up the experi mental work of scientists testing various new breeds of grain. But when the atom brings us cheap electric power, we-may all eat fresh salads and similar spec- ialty crops grown locally by the light of the midnight artificial sun in banana belt artificial heat at midwinter. Ottawa is chuckling over a story now being told here about the Earl of Athlone, who was gover- nor general when the first atom bomb was dropped on Japan Diplomats and politicians excitedly commented how this terrible new invention would revolutionize meth ods of warfare. "New invention? pah!" commen- ted that drily humorous grandson- in-law of Queen Victoria. 'Why the atom as an offensive weapon is over a century old. I remember reading in my history books how at the battle of Waterloo the "Duke of Wellington gave the com mand 'Up Guards, and at 'em,'" DECLINING DOLLAR Our big exporters and our tour- ist industry are quietly rejoicing now that our dollar is shedding its premium over the once almighty an U. 8. dollar. Six months cents; today it is over 101 cents; it would net sur- prise authorities here to see it fall to 98 cents. Such a valuation would realist- ically represent its true value, and would help our foreign trade posi- tion. Unhappily it would boost our living costs slightly. Its decline reflects faith in President Eisen- hower: a lot of escapist U. 8. capital came here to avoid the possible consequences of Trumans policies. Now that Ike has endorsed more orthodox monetary - meas- ures, that capital is moving home to the States and hence depres- sing the worth of our dollar. NATIONAL FLAG What has happened to the ever- green demands for a new national ag, which used to be 'a regular feature of every parliamentary session? The Canadian ensign has come to be recognized as our flag everywhere except at home. Per- sonally I regret only its basic color, which makes it liable to confusion at first glance, and this is not in any sense a country evoking thought of that color. The blue ensign associated with inter- national] trade and with aviation would have been appropriate; so would the white ensign, whose predominant color truly reflects our internationalist outlook as well as our meteorological sufferings. 7-YEAR TERM FOR FRAUD MONTREAL (CP)--The maxi- mum seven-year penitentiary Seu for fraud was imposed Frida, Chief Judge Edouard Archam att on Gaston Belair, 45, of Quebec for having defrauded a 76-year-old spinster of $5,000.
