Vajda of Oshawa is one of a group of 38 Army surveyors from the Army Survey Establishment in Ottawa who were busy this week with preparations for 10 different sur- veys they will run this summer through lonely, still-unmapped re- gions of Canada. The surveys, which will take about four months, will tie in with the RCAF"s aerial mapping of Can- ada -- a program begun many years ago. The Army men do the ground work. They will leave Ot- tawa for various sections of the country about mid-May and re- turn in the all.

Feels Ottawa In 'Squander Mania' CALEDONIA (CP)--John Diefen- baker, Progressive Conservative member of Parliament for the Sas- katchewan riding of Lake Centre, said Friday night the Liberal gov- ernment now is engaged in one of the greatest "squander-manias" in history. Mr. Diefenbaker said in an ad- dress to the Brant-Haldimand Pro- gressive Conservative nominating convention that during the last three years Canadians paid $40 more a year each in direct and hidden taxes than was necessary for the cost of government. The newly-combined riding of Brant-Haldimand chose Dr. John A. Charlton of St. George as its rendiate in the next federal elec- on. Classified Ads are sure to pay. Phone The Times with yours today.

YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. H.| BEHIND THE BARN-DOOR By ROBERT F. CLARKE When will the farmers of Ontario begin to realize that in order to win a point, they have to present their case to the public. Under our democratic system, government policy will be largely influenced; if not directed, by pub- lic opinion. Any responsible govern- ment, mindful of its duties to the people as a whole, in a conflict of interests will try to find a com- promise acceptable to both sides. If one of the parties to the con- flict is alert, it can, by buying some advertising at the right moment, | arouse public opinion and create sufficient pressure to force the government off the middle road into a decision detrimental to the other party, perhaps even detri- mental to the public. TALK, TALK, TALK For many months now Ontario farmers have been discussing the threat of vegetable oils in their kitchens and at their meetings; usually behind tightly shut doors to make sure that nobody outside their own circle would know about Whenever press statements were issuéd, they were simply clamour- ing for a ban on the importation of vegetable oils or a ban on the manufacture and sale of imitations of dairy products. If any at all, the arguments put forth were 'Jost markets' and the 'precarious situ- ation of Agriculture". Sitting in on any of these meet- ings gave one the feeling of being in the midst of a conspiracy for the overthrow of the existing ord- er; flushed faces, angry voices end always the look over the shoulder to see whether there was not a re- porter. around. Always the moto: "Don't let anybody know what we are up to" instead of "Let's tell them what we are up against." ADS NOT BONDS The farmers do have a case; and if they had presented it to the pub- lic, they probably would not have to worry today. The bonds, accumulated from members' fees and living idle in the banks, would have borne good in- terest, had they been converted into leaflets and advertisements giving the public a true picture of the situation. Farmers in Canada have had ten fat years. Not only were they sell- ing all their products in rising markets, but they were also bless- ed with extraordin®yily good crops The public knows this. What it does not yet know of is the change of the trend in the last 12 or 14 months during which produc- er pricés have slipped by 10 to 30 | realize that any further reduction |of the purchasing power of the farmer might have repercussions on the whole economy. NO PLOWS -- NO JOBS If the farmers cannot buy the plows, the fertilizer, the binder twine, the rubberboots made by the men in the factories, these factor- ies will have to lay off numbers of their workers. People without jobs are poor customers for the milk and bacon and eggs produced by the farmer, There are more points that should be considered like nutrition and soil conservation, before edible oils are to be allowed .into new fields. ' MAGIC SECRET It is one thing to sell margarine which is a necessity for all those who cannot afford to buy butter. | Too many farmers buy it them- | selves. It is quite another thing | when it comes to imitations of | ice cream and whipping cream, and perhaps cheese and fluid milk, Nobody has yet told us for sure what the food values of these sub- stitutes are compared to milk and milk products; but every mother knows that she cannot raise her baby without at least a certain amount of whole milk. Judging by the fuss women make over "the baby's formula', it must contain a magic secret. Dairy calves do not survive on skim milk plus vegetable oils; why should babies? TOP SIX INCHES Another point, the one that de- serves the most and probably will | get the least consideration, is Can- | ada's soil. Farmers cannot be ex- | pected to keep and milk cows if they cannot make a living from them. They will get rid of their cows and turn to growing soybeans, flax and sunflowers, all of which | can be made into oil. This will not {only mean less manure for their | fields, but more "cultivated" crops | depleting the soil and leading to | erosion. i It is the top six inches of the soil, that keep man alive. | All these things should have been | brought to the attention of the people long ago through the news- papers, over the radio, in open meetings. Had this been done, and done in good time, it is quite likely that { more public bodies would have fol- lowed the lead of the Oshawa La- { bour Council, which in its wisdom | decided to call for a public en- | quiry before going all out for syn- { thetic imitations of the products of { the "mother of the country' -- the | dairy Cow. per cent. And it certainly does not Alberta Gas To Be Piped To Oshawa OTTAWA (CP)--Progressive Con- servative spokesmen reiterated in the Commons Friday the policy that Canada's huge resources of natural gas should be used to serve this country first before any is ex- ported to the United States. At one point, E. D. Fulton (PC-- Kamloops) said he welcomes the "conversion" to that policy of Trade Minister Howe who recently announced no export permits would be granted until Eastern Canada is served with western gas. '"That has 'been the policy since 1907," interjected the minister. Mr. Fulton said the minister on previous occasions had voiced a different policy. The discussion took place during consideration of a private bill to incorporate Mid-Continent Pipe- lines, Ltd., which plans a line west from Alberta to Winnipeg and then to Eastern Canada by an undis- closed route, Some critics of the bill have said the company may plan piping gas into the United States. The measure, before the Com- mons almost a month, made no progress during the hour devoted to discussion of private bills. Rodney Adamson (PC -- York West) said it would be close to "treason'" to sanction export of Canadian natural gas to the U.S. while the great nickel belt around Sudbury and the huge markets in ' Ontario and Quebec went without Mr. Adamson, a mining engin- reer, said the best technical opinion was that natural gas could be used in the production of nickel. Piping western gas to the great nickel belt around Sudbury and the min- eral-rich area of Northern Ontario could mean terrific development there. In addition Canadian gas should be supplied to the great Toronto- Oshawa-Hamilton industrial area with a potential population of 5,000,- 000 people after completion of the St. Lawrence seaway. ST. CATHARINES (CP)--John Franko, 23, and Hugh Nickerson, 19, both of nearby Beamsville, were sentenced Friday to six years and 10 strokes of the strap each on eharges of rape.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 68 OSHAWA-WHITBY, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1953 PAGE THREE Boards Seek Better Teaching Relations Brilliant Artist Is Guest Artist At Band Concert A brilliant concert both as to the performance of the band and the quality of musicianship shown e by the guest artist was presented at, the OCVI auditorium last night by the Oshawa Clvic and Regi- mental Band, with Miss Geraldine Lee, outstanding Oshawa concert pianist in the assisting role. Brit- ish music predominated in the band's program, in keeping with the Coronation year theme, and one splendid selection, the "Hinch- ingbrooke Suite" of Alfred Ash- pole, rendered by the band with finesse and skill, was given its first performance in Canada. Miss Geraldine Lee, in her piano solos, displayed superlative control of her instrument and a technique which was equally at home in sof- ter passages or in more vigorous movements. She chose a wide var- iety of selections, with accent on Chopin numbers, and the audience, by its sustained applause showed its warm appreciation of the tal- ents of this brilliant Oshawa pian- ist. Her opening Chopin group was made up of "Nocturne, Op. 27, No. 2," "Valse No. 14" and etude, Op. 25, No. 1,' all played with complete understanding of this de- lightful music. Moszkowskis Valse in E. Minor, played with rich ex- pression and coloring, completed this group. In her second appear- ance, Miss Lee played "La Cam- jpanella (Paganini-Liszt) and a | spirited tango by Albeniz, arrang- by Gowowski. In response to | vociferous applause, Miss Lee play- {ed "Fantasy Impromptu" by Cho- pin as an encore. Miss Lee show- (ed great promise of going far in {her chosen career as a concert pianist. High lights of the band's pro- gram, in addition to the "Hinch- ingbrooke suite," were a descrip- tive piece "The Mill in the Dale" by S. Cope, in which vocal and whistling effects were used to good advantage, and the selections from Chu Chin Chow, reminiscent of first world war days. Pinsuit's ser- enade 'In this Hour of Softened Splendour" was played very ef- fectivel. yMarches of the evening were "Dunedin" by K. J. Alford, and the "Trafalgar" naval march by W. Zehle. Franz Lehar's 'Gold and Silver" waltz added a touch of artistry to the program. Bandsman Jack Lee, father of the guest artist, was warmly ap- plauded for his trombone solo 'Nirvana' as were Bandsmen T. Broadbent and W. Martyn in their corney suet "Sandy and Jock" based on three Scottish ballads. The hymn tune, 'St. Clement' com pleted a diversified program wich really pleased the audience. M. Mcintyre Hood acted as mas- ter of ceremonies.

They haven't got horns on. Some of them are pretty fine people, too," Charles H. Hulse of Ottawa told the Zone 2 meeting of Ontario Pub- lic School Trustees Association last night in North Simcoe School auditorium. The PSTA president, who was # introduced by Trustee Stephen A. Saywell, local zone representative, told the hundred-odd delegates that blacklisting of school boards by the Ontario Teachers' Federation was on the wane, chiefly, he thought, because the Ontario Trus- tees' Council, made up of two re- presentatives from each of seven different provincial trustees' asso- ciations, had sought for better teacher trustee relations. HAD TO ORGANIZE "All the fault has not been with the teachers," he insisted. "Teach- ers' salaries have been horribly low, in some instances. They had to organize. By provincial statute all teachers must belong to the federation, They are required to pay dues, scaled according to their salaries." When the council of which he is chairman sat down with the federa- tion executive to discuss blacklist- ing, Mr. Hulse said, he found they had "funny ideas' about teachers' contracts. By making representa- tions in the right quarters the council had been able to stall le- gislation on contracts and, inciden- tally, the passing of an Arbitration Act, until the Department of Ed- ucation was able to study the form which the contracts should take. RECOMMENDS COMMITTEES The speaker strongly recom- mended the formation of trustee- teacher committees in local school areas, which, with the exercise of a little good will and common- sense, could iron out most prob- lems without recourse to higher authorities. '"There has been no trouble with the Council from the elementary school branch of the OTF," de- clared Rev, J. V. Mills of Toronto, the executive secretary of PSTI'A, the ot speaker last night. He paid tribute to teachers who came into Toronto "week after week, giving up their Saturdays," to work on curriculum committees. He hurled a challenge to the trustees not to lower the stand- ards of teacher qualifications. MUST PROVIDE BEST "It's not our business to keep down the mill rate," he stressed, 'but to provide the best possible education wherever we can. We can spend $128,000,000 a year on whiskey, and yet quibble over a few extra dollars for the teaching of our children. Is it any wonder they can't talk, read or spell when they go out into the business world?" Citing the winning of the Ford assessment case in Windsor as proof of the solidarity of individual bords of trustees acting collective ly, and substantial changes made in educational bills before the le- gislative assembly because of ace tion by the association, Mr. Mills termed the PSTA 'the watch-dog over the welfare of the provincial public school system." Trustee Mrs. B. C. Colpus, a charter member of the PSTA, and recently elected an honorary vice- president, greeted the assembly, and was herself lauded by both the speakers for her work on be- half of the associaton. Mr. Mills opened the meeting with an ip- vocation, and there was a provocas tive question period at its close, when the trustees enjoyed coffee and sandwiches served by the ladies of the North Simcoe Home and School Association. The coming of North Toronto Citadel Band to the local Salva- tion Army corps tonight, brings to Oshawa one of the outstanding bands of Canada. Numbering near- ly 60 men, it is one of the larger Army bands of the country. As- sociated with the North Toronto corps, it is under the leadership of Bandmaster William Kingston, Noted for his dynamic leadership, excellent musicianship and with a background of many years of band- ing, he brings to Oshawa a dis- R. (tinct personality. His band has been for many years one of the leading Army bands of Toronto, and numbers within its ranks a group of first Noted Salvation Army Band Is Here Tonight rate instrumentalists, Indeed among them ar esome soloists of heard in their program. It should also be noted that this band makes a definite contribution to vocal singing. For some years they were under the g of Major Arnold Brown, probably ne of the Army's leading choralists, and under his tutelage they de- veloped into a singing combination withou a peer in Canada. Accompanying the band will be Major Oakley, the North Toronto corps officer, who will bring the address of the evening. | A capacity audience is expected {to be present to hear this fine |aggregation of musicians. Prison For Hanging Gains Official Favor OTTAWA (CP)--Provinces would be allowed to execute convicted killers at a central spot under a proposed amendment to the Crim- inal Code, the Commons criminal law committee was told Friday. A. A. Moffat, justice department law officer, said the revision was drafted because of protests in re- cent years against the stipulation that executions must be carried out in the prison where the con- victed man has been confined. A new clause in the bill amend- ing the Criminal Code says only that sentence of death is to be carried out "within the walls of a prison." That would leave provin- cial authorities, who administer the Criminal Code, free to nomi- nate any prison within provincial boutidaries as a place of execu- on. FEWER STRIKES OTTAWA (CP)--Loss of » work through strikes in February was low, the Labor department reports in a monthly survey. Working time lost through industrial disputes was 23,777 man-days compared with 31, 050 days the month before and 47,- 603 in February of 1952.
