@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, April 21, 1958 Editorials The Bailly Times-Gazeite (Oshawa, Whitby), by Times-G 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Junior Chamber Commended On Home Builders' Fair For the second year in succession, the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Oshawa is undertaking the sponsorship of a Home Builders' and Home Furnishings Fair, to be held in the Oshawa Arena on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. In to- day's issue of The Times-Gazette several pages are devoted to telling the story of what will be seen at this outstanding Osh- awa event. Behind this Junior Chamber of Commerce venture is a strong pride in Oshawa, and a desire to demonstrate to the people of this community the self-contained nature of the city's facilities and services for the building and furnishing of homes. In this effort, the members of the Jaycee group have had the willing co-operation of a host of local firms. These firms, by their exhibits, and they are of a most revealing character, have made the Fair possible, and have, at the same time, taken advantage of the opportunity Canadians Thrive Canada's weather has been joked about for a long time. That at times it is a bit cold and blustery there is no question. In Northern Ontario and the western provinces the temperature does, occasionally, drop considerably below zero, but taken all in all we Canadians think it pretty hard to beat. Here in Old Ontario the mercury sel- dom falls as low as twenty degrees, and when it does go down we are generally well prepared for it and ready to enjoy the milder weather that inevitably follows the eold spells within a day or so. Scientific research in the western portion of Canada has revealed the fact it used to be a tropical country, where the giant dino- saurs and other queer quagrupeds roamed at their pleasure, After millions of years their bones are now being resurrected and exhi- bited in museums. to show the people of this community that they are well served. It will, indeed, be a revelation to most citizens who attend the Home Builders and Home Furnishings Fair to see the wide va- riety of products in 'these fields manufac- tured or processed in Oshawa, and available from local manufacturer and merchants. It should do much to convince Oshawa people that they do not need to go far afield to meet their requirements for such materials and services, but that they can help Osha- wa industry and business by using the pro- ducts of their own home city. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is made up of young and energetic Oshawa business men, many of them serving today in junior capacities, but fitting themselves for future public service by their Jaycee membership. They are to be commended for the enter- prise and initiative they have shown in pro- motion of this all-Oshawa exhibition. on Their Weather On the Pacific coast there was at the same time a delightfully salubrious climate with weather almost summer-like, warmed by the winds of far-off Japan furnishing a variety of temperatures that ought to suit the most fastidious. In Ontario we enjoy a variation every few days, and one is never weary long of either the cold or the warm days. No matter what others may say, the natives revel in it, and think it ig the greatest weather and the greatest country on the globe, which de- velops strong, vigorous men and strikingly beautiful women. So whether the thermometer registers be- low or above zero, Canadians, whether living in the colder or warmer zones think this is the country to live 'in, more desirable than any other, no matter what its boasted tem- perature advantages at certain seasons, Accidents Cause Huge Money Loss W. M. V. Ash, president of the Ontario Safety League, has pointed out that the monetary loss from traffic accidents, fire and compensation to injured workers in On- tario last year reached the staggering total of $72,500,000. He declared: "We can ac- complish a great deal if we pool our energies in the common cause of human safety." A breakdown of the monetary loss total reveals that traffic accidents alone account- ed for property damage of $19,000,000 in Ontario im 1952. Fire damage amounted to $27,000,000 and compensation to injured workers $26,500,000. As Mr. Ash comment- ed, "It is readily apparent that many more people must join im an effort to prevent accidents." While the monetary loss through acci- dents, as outlined by Mr. Ash, is indeed staggering, consideration must be given to the pain and suffering, mental and other- Editorial Notes Modern heating methods have eliminated the woodshed, and some of the things that used to be associated with it have also pass- ed away. The River Clyde in Scotland is to have four new pleasure steamers this summer. We wonder how many of our citizens can recall when pleasure steamers used to call regularly at Oshawa harbor.

To reduce the number of and losses from accidents the pub- lic must be made accldent-conscious so that it may become prevention-conscious. There are innumerable ways in which the chances of accidents, on the highways and in factories and homes, might be reduced. Greater attention in writing, regular in- specition of motor vehicles to ensure their proper mechanical operation, prevention of fire by removing the causes of spontaneous combustion, which contributes to a great many fires, and other possible sources of fire, and safety measures in industries and homes, all would result in a radical reduc- tion in the number of accidents if people would become sufficiently interested to adopt preventive measures. Other Editors' Views NOT ENDORSATION OFF COMMUNISM (Calgary Herald) : Tito's visit to Britain doesn't mean any endorsa- tion of Communism. It will, however, demonstrate the West's sincere desire to get along with non- aggressive Communism In the interests of peace. And it may well have good results in those Com- munist states still slaves to Russia. TALL ONES FOR BRITAIN (Fort William Times-Journal) britains have been warned that the da is coming when buildings in the British Isles will have to oToW tall, instead of sprawling. Population growth will make such a course mandatory. Rather odd it is retrospect that on the North American continent, where there is plenty of room, skyscrapers have sprung whereas Britishers, with a minimum of space, have clung to low buildings. The threatened change in British policy is being generated by the appropriation of fertile farm lands ' for new housing projects to take care of the expand- ing population. Those who are concerned vith the production of foodstuffs within the British Isles are the ones who are pressing for skyscrapers.

Here Edith Elliot and her staff are waging a four-woman battle to build a $100,000,000 market for Canada's fishermen. The average Canadian today eats only 13 lbs of fish a year, but just twelve times that amount of meat. Yet fish is good nourishing food, says Miss Elliot; it is quicker to cook than meat, it is a better buy for the economics-minded house- wife, and the customer only pays for what he can eat. Did you know, for example, that a broiling chicken costs up to $1 for head, legs and intestines which you leave behind--you hope--in the butcher's trash bucket, and another 756 cents for the bones which are not fit for even a dog to eat? Yet when you buy small fish such as smelts, you enjoy head, bones, healthy inside and all. The waste in even a whole salmon costs only a few cents. Fish today finds itself behind two eightballs, Miss Elliot told me. These are its odour and stale taste remembered from pre-deep-freeze days and the cooking smells caused by the housewife who does not know about to-day's odourless baking. Fish smells least and tastes best if cooked for a very short time in a very hot oven, Miss Elliot's exper- iments have proved. Even kippers can be enjoyed if wrapped in aluminum foil; other fish can be laid in a flat heat-proof dish. Fish should be cooked, not by the pound like meat, but by the inch, Allow ten minutes in a 450- degree oven for each inch of thick- ness for fresh fish, and double that time for frozen fish which should be put frozen into the oven, says Miss Elliot. Fisheries Minister Jimmy 8in- clair from British Columbia, said to be a red steak man himself, has joined the groups of MPs who are Miss Elliot's guinea-pigs. She specialises in adapting meat receipes for the use of fish, I found her toying with a Chinese dish containing green ginger, green onions, soya sauce and whitefish, When perfected, her dishes are taught to Ottawa housewives who attend lectures in her kitchen. Then they are given to MPs to sample at buffet lunches served---odour- lessly of course--in the very kit- chen where they were cooked. AL-ISH MENU A typical lunch would be salt cod chowder; baked fillets of had- dock; with potatoes; salmon steak; jel- lied chicken haddie with salad; followed by pie and coffee. In case you think your MP overeats, at- least at Cafe Elliot, remember that fish is a high protein food but not fattening. Many housewives from all parts of Canada write in to Miss Elliot for her books of fish recipes, dis- tributed free by the department of fisheries. These books tell the housewife how to prepare cheap, tasty fish dishes. And they include hints on how to avoid the occupa- tional hazards of the kitchen, such as "Pick up the live lobster with tongs." Alex Givens Dies, Had Brother Here TORONTO (CP) --Alexander Charles Givens, 52, longtime news- paper man who, for the last 2% years, has been executive adminis- trator of the Atkinson Charitable Foundation died Monday. He was executive editor of the Toronto Star for two years prior to his appointment as administrator Oct. 30, 1950. Mr. Givens joined the Star as a deskman in 1933. Prior to that he was, successively, reporter and edi- torigl executive on the Kingston British Whig; editor of the Cana- dian Freeman, national Catholic weekly; manager of weekly news- papers in the Niagara district; and on the staff of Hugh C. MacLean Publications Limited in Toronto. After several years in various Star editorial positions, including those of telegraph editor and news editor, he covered municipal poli- tics for several years. He also worked on major assignments in Canada and the United States. He was in charge of the Star's reporting and photographic staff at the first Quebec conference, super- vised the Star's coverage of Que- bec province in the last federal election, and headed the Star's staff at the Marian Congress in Ottawa aad the Guay murder case in Que- ec. His appointment as executive ad- ministrator followed the acceptance by the provincial and federal gov- ernments of the Atkinson Chari- table Foundation as a recognized charity, His studies of the operation of similar charitable organizations in the U.S, enabled him to help plan the early grants undertaken by the Joundation as pilot studies in that eld. Mr. Givens earned his way through Queen's University in his native city of Kingston by work- ing in the shipyards. In later years he remained a card-carrying mem- ber of the Steel Shipbuilders' Union he joined in his student days. While in Kingston he was secre- tary oft he old Central Ontario Baseball League, was active in the promotion and management of sports and in civic welfare organi- zations, an interest he maintained throughout his life. He was a Roman Catholic, a member of the Knights of Colum- bus and of the Holy Name Society. Surviving besides his widow, the former Mary Doyle of Portsmouth, Ont., are a daughter, Katherine, and a son, Alexander Desmond, at home; a sister, Mrs. C. J.

Grain Prices Under Study OTTAWA (CP)--Within the next two weeks the government plans to announce initial prices for grains for the new crop year and indica- tions are that the basic wheat price will be set at $1.40 a bushel for No. 1 northern--unchanged from a year ago. The experts, pondering what pre- liminary price the Canadian wheat board should pay Western wheat farmers in the crop year opening Aug. 1, have decided there is no reason for a reduction even though Britain, Canada's biggest customer has walked out of the international wheat agreement and the range of her prospective purchases is still unknown. However, there may be some change in the initial price on coarse grains. The market for oats in the new crop year is clouded by the fact that the United States govern- ment is considering placing re- strictions on imports.

McLaughlin and Alex G. Storie were appointed as delegates from the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to attend the 13th Congress of Fed- erated Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire to be held in Guildhall, London, England. - Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin was re- elected president of the Ontario Federation of Home and School ubs. Local butcher shops had a co-op- erative advertisment: announcing porterhouse roasts of beef for 18 cents per pound, butt pork roasts 12 cents and leg of lamb for 20 cents per pound. Ernest John Hart of Harmony died at the Oshawa General Hos- pital from pneumonia. The Oshawa Citizens Band, under the leadership of Bandmaster E. Walker, gave its first concert of the season in the St. George's Uk- ranian Hall, Albert Street, Cedardale and Al- bany Street United Churches decid- ed to merge as one unit as an economy measure, J. A. McGibbon, Crown Attorney for Ontario County, was guest speaker at the Whitby Rotary Club. Twenty-six local men were given work at Trenton airport. Some who had previously refused, were glad to accept work there. Nearly 900 men, receiving relief, began working on the city's garden scheme. QUEEN'S PARK Too Much Toronto Even MLA Leaves It By DON O"HEARN Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO--Greater Toronto was launched here on Wednesday with fitting ceremony. Very fitting. In best striped-pants style. In the days ahead there were enough officials on the loose to stage the Coronation. Capt. Orr, deputy minister of municipal af- fairs, found himself a somewhat reluctant social secretary. The office of Mr. Speaker, being in charge of the legislative chamber, was in on the act. And various representatives of the premier had their say. The Ziegfeld Follies doesn't have better preparations. CABINET RELIEF All the municipal representat- ives were carrying themselves with proper dignity, You wouldn't have suspected that next week they will be fighting like Kilkenny cats Premier Frost and several mem- bers of the cabinet were also on hand. You could almost smell the relief of the various ministers at finally having got rid of the baby. Mr. Frost, of course, classes the reorganization as one of the great- est things that has happened since Confederation and he was in a history-maker mood. U.S. some 73,000,000 bushels val- NEW CHAIRMAN ued at $61,000,000. American restrictions could, therefore, have a sharp impact on Canadian sales and prices. Trade Minister Howe touched on the grain situation in the Com- mons Monday when he informed Argue (CCF--Assiniboia) Hazen escallop of canned tuna-that the matter of initial prices was under study and that an an- nouncement will be made when the government's position was clari- ed. Mr. Howe also told the House that an international wheat agree- ment will be definitely in effect for the next three years. The Colorado river and the Grand Canyon were discovered by Spaniards from Mexico in 1540. In the spotlight was that old- time Progressive Conservative party stalwart and now chairman of the metropolitan council, Fred Gardiner. Mr. Gardiner, who has never failed to give suitable recognition to his own importance was in his heyday. Long renowned as not overly fond of the press (silly man) he had already got off to a start with both feet forward by taking over the press rooms at city hall as his temporary office. TOO MUCH It was Toronto's day and may it be remembered long, but only remembered. It was a historic occasion, all right, and one perhaps has no justification for being a bit cynical i ' about it. But also one can't hel, being bored OVER-STUFFED When George Wardrope of Port Arthur left the chamber in disgust during the session declaring '"When you get back to the business of the province let me know' he was expressing a very popular senti- ment. The members had so much Toronto stuffed into they were nauseated. ON WITH BUSINESS Now all this is over, it is to be hoped. There is no need to argue now whether all the time of the session on Toronto was necessary. In our opinion § wasn't. Further, we think it was definitely bad. Toronto has never been popular with the rest of the province. Quite understandably so. As a city it is smug and condescending. Forein its affairs on the legislature such length didn't do anything to alleviate this feeling, at least with the members. It has had its day And, as My. Wardrope would say, it is to be hoped we get back to the business of the province. The sea route from West Pakis- tan to East Pakistan around India is 2,900 miles long, If Youre TIRED ALL THE TIME 'ybody gels a tired-out, heavy-headed, and maybe rotharad haskask Perhaps thing seriously wrong, just a temporary condition caused by excess acids and wastes.
