For many people, there will be no work from Thursday afternoon te Monday morning. This means that thousands of citi- sens will be seeking the open road with their ears, causing a heavy concentration of auto- mobile traffic on the highways of the prov- ince. And if experience of recent years can be used as a guide, the newspapers of next Monday will earry an appalling story of death and injury in traffic accidents. It is a real tragedy that this is so. It does seem, however, as if long holiday weekends always bring in their wake exceptionally high lists of fatal traffic accidents. Yet it need not be so. The great majority of these accidents can be avoided by the exercise of just ordinary common-sense, and the observ- ance of the ordinary rules of traffic safety on the part of the drivers of motor vehicles. It might be well for those who are eonsid- ering spending the holiday weekend out om the highways of the province to do some serious thinking before they start off om their trips. They might, for instance, de some thinking about whether or net they will come back alive and uninjured, or whe- ther they are going to be accident vietims. And if they can be persuaded te do seme thinking about that, then it is a foregone eonclusion that they will drive with the maximum of care and caution, observing the rules of safety, and keeping their speed down to the legal limit that is allowed by law. That does not seem much t. ask of any motorist. Yet it could be the means of keep- ing the toll of traffic fatalities down to a bare minimum, and making the holiday weekend a sane and safe period for travel- lers. What Ontario Citizens Are Worth The new legislation which has been ae- eepted by the Ontario Legislature, fixing grants to the municipalities of the province on a basis of so much per capita of popula- tion, is causing a good deal of heated com- ment in the rural municipalities, and. in the cities in the under 50,000 population brack- ot. This legislation fixes the per capita grants on a sliding scale, in accordance with municipal population figures. What is causing the rural comment is the fact that while, for the purpose of provincial grants, a resident of the city of Toronto is valued at $4.00 per capita, those of the small towns are given a rating of only $1.50 a head. In Oshawa, which is in the in-between group, the allowance made for every citizen is $2.50 per head. v This fully justifies newspapers like the Durham Chronicle in asking why the. eiti- zens of different sized municipalities in On- tario should be given a different dollar rat- ing by Queen's Park. It asks why the resi- dents of its town are rated as worth only $1.50 per head in government grants, while a city like Toronto has its people rated at $4.00 per head. This smacks of inequality of citizenship, and like an exemplification of the old Scriptural text, "To him that hath shall be given." Of course it is quite possible that the basis arrived at in the government bill is quite sound, but one can hardly blame the folks in the smaller-sized municipalities at feeling slighted because a lower valuation has been placed on them than on the big city slickers. Canadian Kindness Appreciated While Canadians sometimes feel that they are not always as toleyant of other races as they might be, we have here a "live and-let live" attitude which makes for good rels- tions and a better country. Evidence of this is eontained in a letter which appeared in the Ottawa Citizen, writ- . ten by Jesse L. Brown, a oolored visitor from Nashville. Brown wrote: "l am an American Negro. I've travelled both north and south here in the States, so this Christmas I decided to go outside the US. and I eame #0 Ottawa do visit two friends of mine there. "] wish to say that I was treated with more kindness and warmth than anybody oould expect; everybody was so friendly and everywhere I turned I saw smiling faces.

' LR ' - i Other Editors' Views FINES FOR A LOTTERY (Vancouver Province) The absurdity hypocrisy and unfairness of Canada's lottery laws were brought into sharp foous in en Ottawa courtroom the other day when Judge J. P. Madden fined Ottawa Athletics' baseball club $10 for conducting a lottery last August. There are a great many more organisations im Canada, run by respectable, public-apirited citizens, which have run afoul of this law. They have been run into court when they attempted to raise funds for some worthwhile public project. And their fund- raising efforts have been ended. This would not be so bad if our attitude, and our laws, were consistent. But while we are running out of business some harmless little lotteries, like the Ottawa baseball club's draw, our Governments spon- sor some super-collosa] lotteries, like horse racing, in which the Government's pari-mutuel "take" runs into a great deal more than little Mryna Lumsden"s bushel of nickels. CENSORSHIP NO CURE (Vancouver Sun) You can't legislate anybody into righteousness. ' That's what the Rev. J. A. McInnis, moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canade, means when he says that censorship won't improve Canadian morals. "The onus is on the church and parents through the process of education and in the higher things such as truth and beauty," declares the moderator. Decency and morality are internal things. They _ Spring from the heart. COMMUNIST BAD FAITH (La Patrie) The federal government is studying changes in our Criminal Code . . . Our Communis' are making protestations in the name of safeguarding civil liber- ties, which they use as a convenient Trojan Horse. Tt is proper to reply to them by asking what mea- sure of liberty the Communist regimes sllow the people under their yoke . .., It would be proof of our aulpable negligence to permit them to pursue their subversive activities. The penal code constitutes 8 dike against their most notable activitis. We eannot reinforce too strongly the clauses against in- ternal enemies. Bible Thought "Peace through the blood of His Oross."

QUEEN'S PARK Frantic Closing Days See 'OTTAWA REPORT 20,000 Children Will Have Polio Protection By PATRICK NICHOLSON (Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette) OTTAWA -- Twenty thousand children will be "ihe "paral partial pro- tection paralysing effects of polio this y who bi Sollect the blood 4 frm Sotiors. hance ¢ by providing hinds under the to keep going or ts program an up blood depots across the country as required," says Mr. Martin, This is the ar number made of doses of gamma globulin witch will be available in Canada this year, Health Minister Paul Martin tells me. They will be allocated those communities where the epidemic appears to be striking with the greatest malice. Gamma globulin is a portion of our blood which contains nature's paratroops for fighting the invasien of infection. It is the most effect ive defence against polio yet dis- oovered by medicine. Tests carried out on 355000 children in the States in the past two years show that it definitely reduces the pat. alytie effects of polio, although # sane. Gamma Slobunn is now being made in Canada, Mr. Martin says, from old plasma left over from the wartime dried plasma stocks. XN all goes well, enough for 20,000 doses should be available this year.

Moscow Agents Are Hard At Work In Middle East By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press News Analyst A young Arab leader is lionized gyda by Communists on an all-expense- paid trip to Vienna . . A Moslem priest is lured behind the Iron Curtain as a Douce & dele. gate and finds the red carpet rol out for him A university student with power- ful family connections is flattered as an advance-guard intellectual « The young Arab returns to the Middle East and soon finds him- self a cog in the Communist organ- ization within his trade union. The mullah preaches that religion is Tespecied in the Communist world, t communism is not incompat- Fn with Islam. The university student's connections get him a job with a key government min- istry, and either through flattery or blackmail he is induced to take orders from a Communist contact. This is the way Moscow's agents work in their long-range program in the Middle East. The stakes are domination of 100,000,000 people, control of strategic ap- proaches to three continents and access to the world's greatest oil resources. This interest centres on youth. The slow, steady drive has been spreading infection among young le--students, intellectuals and workers. An extensive tour, all the way from Kenya colony in East Africa to Iran on the USSR's bord- ers in Asia, makes these conclus- ions inescapable: 1. Soviet agents in many guises, aiming at the young educated groups, have achieved notable gains which have permitted com- munists to penetrate high places. 2. Soviet propaganda hits first at intellectuals, then labor, then yeligion. preying upon youthful eals of social justice, pon the i) of mass povert; upon the ancient and othe prej- udices and conflicts in which the whole area abounds. 3. The Communists have success- fully penetrated virtually all na- tionalist movements. Communist success otrat- ing universities of the Past is adimted by most persons in auth .

In Iran, on the eastern flank of the West's civilization, communism is strong and better organized than any other political group. In Arab lands--Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan--the party is still in the conspiratorial stage, but extremely active on a small scale. Communist sympathies abound among refugees from Israel camped in Arab countries. In exploiting differences between Arabs and the West, the Commu- nists have not overlooked the Mos- lem religion. Religious leaders lured to Moscow or Iron Curtain countries are given the full treat- ment and return home to preach that communism is Islam's friend. They overlook the fate of millions u Moslems under Soviet domina- on. Such Arabs have been sold an anti-Zion bill of goods. They quote the old Arab proverb: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Out to Calvary"s There saw him orucified, He wag their Master And gladly they followed When they were called Into his service, but now All seemed to be lost As He whom they knew in As their great leader Gave up His life to Upon the bitter cross. Then came the dawn Of the first Easter morn When he arose from the Tomb in the garden And revealed to them That death had been Swallowed up in victory Over the grave, and that Their Risen Lord and Master By His Resurrection on the . That first Easter Sunday Had triumphed over all The forces of evil that Had sought to conquer of God. The Son of This weekend we mark With solemn ceremonies session have been as frantic as any we oan remember. There hasn't been the controversy of other years but the last minute push to get committees and the order paper cleaned up have been frenzied Queen Mary's death, of course, pu things in even more disorder. e House was called on the night of her passing and the whole Tues- day of the funeral was lost so far as the House itself was concerned. This only meant some ten hours of sittings but that is enough to cause a jam the way things go here, The final hours of the ses- ion are calculated finely to crowd all the business and there is Just about enough time allowed et it in and no more. e big sufferers m such a jam are estimates and committees. both are crowded through and & Jot of things that ordinarily might be discussed are skipped over. Not that this means much so far as estimates are concerned this year. The way they have been going through the House it hardly seems to have mattered whether were brought up at all. lions of dollars have been voted on time after time in a mat- ter of minutes. The supplementary estimates of over $20,000,000, for instance went through at the rate nt "~tter than $100,000 a second. 'ttees probably didn't suf- Way ill and Legislation Speeded Up fer 'this much, but those that met in the last few days were notice- ably taking things much more briefly than in the earlier m ings. This, of course, is nati _ A! The members appreciating the little time left are reluctant to bring up business which will delay proceedings. It is an old trick of politics' te take advantage of these last-min- ute jams to get through controver- sial legislation. Premier Drew used to be adept at it. Mr. Drew would leave mat- ters that were strongly opposed hanging on the order paper for weeks. Then he would call them in the last few days, and often late at night. Members would be too tired to debate them at length. Though tempers often used to be pretty short, teo, and Mr. came in for some strong personal attacks during these jam sessions. LITTLE HEAT The present government can't be accused of using the tactic at this session. It is more or less ciroum- stance, together with a certain in- efficiency in getting the commit- tees under way earlier, that is responsible for the ocrowding this year, The fact is that there has been very little controversial legislation at the session. The edible oil de- bate, which could have been an embarrassing topic was ealled reasonably early and so was the rent issue. And these were the only two matters that wers really controversial. That fateful occasion of Nearly 2000 years ago Which has given to the World its Christian faith Which i8 its only hope.
