[ ] THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, June 9, 1953 Editorials The ©ally Times Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) Limited. by T0 Gazes 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Queen's Residence In Canada Would Be Highly Popular Queen Elizabeth II may become ruler of Canada in a more intimate sense than was ever known before, if an Associated Press report from London is borne out. King George VI was the first monarch who could rightly be called King of Can- ada, since in 1931 Canada has become a soverign country and was recognized as an independent nation. ! ~ Now a late London report says the Queen may live for a time in Canada and each of the six self-governing countries of the Commonwealth outside Britain. It is said that Prime Minister Churchill plans to broach the idea when he meets with Commonwealth prime ministers after the Coronation. The Duke of Edinburgh and the children would also live for a time in Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Ceylon, South Africa and India. The informants say the idea seems to be that Elizabeth should begin to divide her presence and her time more among the free people of the Commonwealth than her predecessors have done. This suggestion is not new, so far as Canada is concerned. The suggestion that the Royal Family might set up at least a temporary residence in this country was most widely mooted during the Second World War, when it was felt the King and Queen, with their children, would be much safer from enemy action in Ottawa than in bomb-blasted old London. But at that time the King himself put his foot down, and said he preferred to be on his native soil in the hour of danger. There are some part® of the Common. wealth where there are factions which would resent the presence of royalty in any role. But it is certain that if the royal family were to take up residence in Canada for any part of the Queen's reign, the move would be a very popular one. If Elizabeth should spend a portion of her reign 'in Canada, Canadians would be most happy. For truly this country ap- pears to be facing the greatest develop- ment of this period of history--the sec- "ond Elizabethan Age. All-Canadian Natural Gas Line Financial considerations tend toward a routing of the proposed gas line from Al- berta to Eastern Canada via the United States, according to the Toronto Financial Post. It would be cheaper that way, just as the oil line is and it is felt that a Cana- dian route would "operate in the red for the first five years." The suggestion in this is that various Ontario interests should become aggres- sively active in promoting the all-Cana- dian route. It has already had the approval of Right Hon. C. D. Howe and Hon. George Drew who are more inclined to take the long distance view than the financiers and investors who are interested in quick re- . turns on their money. It is the long distance view that should prevail. There is among other things and as mentioned in discussion of oil routes, the example of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way which was built as part of the Con- federation agreement. It, too, could have linked the east and the west by a shorter and cheaper route south of Lake Superior. Also in building to the north it lost money on this section for years but it has been a tremendous influence and factor in build- ing yp the whole country. The Canadian National has also been made an all-Canadian route and it, too, is deing its part in the building of Canada, and becoming self-sustaining at that, al- though having had its difficult times. The possibility of loss for a short per- iod on an all-Canadian gas line should not be permitted to mean its diversion from . Canada at any point. If the financiers are So anxious about immediate returns on their money, the government can be ex- pected to think differently and act ac- cordingly. . Availability of gas would be most im- portant to the industrial and domestic life of this part of the Dominion. > Die Each Day, Each Day Born Anew This month sees the anniversary of two of Canada's oldest newspapers. On June 3 The Montreal Gazette reached its 175th year of publication. Three weeks later, on June 21, the Quebec-Chronicle-Telegraph, the oldest English Language newspaper in North America, touches a milestone in its long and faithful history with the start of its 191st year. The two newspapers, which have march- ed together through many turbulent years, have chronicled faithfully the events of the Old World and those of the New, and 'have seen Canada grow from a vast, sparsely populated continent to its present position of world importance. Today, both command the respect of the reading public because they have suc- ceeded in maintaining the best traditions of newspaper publishing, and insisted upon a high standard of journalism. The Montreal Gazette, to mark the oc- casion of their anniversary, publishes this Editorial Notes Sarnia's tornado victims need the help of the whole of Ontario, including Osh- awa. Let us get together to raise a sub- ctantial fund in this city. One advantage of the plentiful rain of recent weeks is that it has postponed the lawn-watering season. : The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Daily Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) combining The Oshawa Times (established 1871) and the Whitby Gazette & Chronicle (established 1863) is published daily (Ss ys and vy holidays J.

Here, in its 56 pages, Mr. Collard recalls the founding of the newspaper by the French printer, Fleury 'Mesplet, in his little workshop near the old Montreal waterfront, and the years which followed. In a foreward to the book; Mr. Collard writes: "A newspaper is a very human thing. It is the mirror help up to living. It is the record of action. And the news- paper itself becomes part of the day's ex- perience, as it unfolded to give interest and pleasure, information and judgment. "It is the fate of a newspaper to die daily.

(Rev. 17:14.) 4 rid B.C / PRovinciA), ELECTION LISTENING POST a WZ - AIRY Ih OTTAWA REPORT Record Flood Of Tourists Likely By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- The first wave of what is expected to be an all-time record flood of American tourists into Canada has already surged over Ottawa, adding to the crowds enjoying our capital's first tulip festival. This is the golden fish deliberate- 4 baited by Ottawa's Board of rade, which has adapted a Que- bec gift and a gardener's imagina- tion to make this city the tulip capital of North America, boasting an annual festival as beautiful and famous as Washington's cherry blossom festival. The first tulips came to Ottawa half a century ago; but their cost and winter frailty made them the scarce treasure of amateur gar- deners. It took Hitler to make our in- hospitable northern soil the home of hundreds of thousands of warm- loving beautiful Dutch tulips. His hordes drove Juliana of the Neth- erlands to Ottawa as a refugee princess with her young family. As a thank-you gesture to her wartime home, she sent 20,000 bulbs from her homeland after the war, and promised to give 16,000 prize spec- mens of her country's most fam- ous product each year throughout her lifetime. Dutch bulb growers added to her gift a shipment of 100,000 tulips. MASS PLANTING With the classified bulbs arriv- ing in thousands, Ottawa's head floral expert devised a new way of planting tulips, in place of the precisely space military rows. Making huge sloping beds around the curves of the scenic drive- way, he set out 750,000 tulips this year in what he termed "flowing mass display," using different colors in harmony, contrast, re- petition and balance to achieve eye-catching designs. Aided by special tulip maps showing the location of the beds, tourists and Ottawans have enjoy- ed the. first blazing colours of the new flower season. On Sundays the huge crowds of sightseers and photographers on foot all but ob- scured the view from passing mot- orists. Tulips have now been adopted as an important part of the long-range plan to beautify Ottawa. Hund of thousands more bulbs have been purchased from Holland, where prize specimens of the specially- bred varieties range in price from a few cents up to $2,000 for a single bulb. FRONT VICTIMS More bulbs will be acquired each year, to replace losses and to in- crease the total number. They are at their best for two years only; after that they are moved to more remote beds or rockeries. This year the lack of a snow blanket to ro. tect them against frost resulted in nearly 200, being frozen to a dead pulpy mass, '"'just lke an onion which is left in the freezer too long," as the tulip expert told me. To climax our national capital's first tulip festival, a bunch of red and yellow blossoms, picked from an average bed, was flown to Lon- don to be presented to the Queen. Next year, each bed will be planted with early and late varie- ties mixed, so the display is ex- pensive to extend over the whole of May. It is a Canadian trait to dispar- age homespun products and glorify the foreign; so these Dutch tulips have been glorified to the quite undeserved exclusion of the glori- ous display of our native lilac, less expensive and more easily culti- vated, whose spectacular purple and blue and white blaze of blos- som to my mind deserves equal top billing. Mint Cake Eaten At Everest's Top LONDON (Reuters)--What hap- pened in those historic moments May 29 when a tall, lean New Zeal- ander and his native guide stood on the peak of Mount Everest as the first conquerors of the world's highest mountain? . The Times of London says they ate mint cake, took photographs, waved a string of flags and preyed. An editorial says Auckland - keepers Edmund Hillary, 34, and his Nepalese guide Tensing Bhutia gazed down from the top of the world 29,002 feet high on a "flat and monotonous' view. They were too high for any grandiose moun- tain landscapes, it said. The Times provided the first de- scription of the exploit since word of the British expedition's success was flashed to London a2 week ago on the eve of the Corpnation. The newspaper owns exclusive copy- right to the expedition's story. Stern Steps Taken Against Mau-Mau NAIROBI, Kenya® (AP) ~-- The Kenya government's war against the Mau Mau terrorists brought the outlawing today of the Kenya African Union, the British colony's principal African political organiz- ation. Most of the union's members are members of the Kikuyu tribe, from which the secret Mau Mau society also draws its membership. The union's president formerly was Jomo (Burning Spear) Ken- yatta, sentenced April 8 to seven GREAT MILKER HAISTHORPE, England (CP)-- The Ayrshire herd owned by H. A. Shipley in this Yorkshire district, best yielding herd in the country, includes one cow that yielded 106% ounds of milk in 24 hours, equiva- nt to about 10% gallons. STOCKHOLM (CP)-Membership in the Federation of Swedish Trade Unions increased by about 26,000 in 1952 to a total of 1,338,000. The Metalworkers Union is the largest group, numbering 233,379. years imprisonment as a chief or- ganizer of the Mau Mau. A court today sentenced 12 Ki- kuyu to death for their part in the massacre of 150 persons in the vil- lage of Lari, March 26. It was the second of 13 mass trials arising from the massacre. Previously 17 Mau Mau knifemen were given the death penalty. PORTRAITS By JAMES |. METCA' YE DON'T TALK Don't talk too much to those who talk . . . With just their tongue and face . . .

QUEEN'S PARK MAC'S MUSINGS It is a wonderful and Breathtaking experience For those who are lovers Of the beauty of nature, Of the glowing colors Of the trees and fields To wander forth along The back concessions And the sideroads of Old Ontario in these Early days of summer. The other day we found Ourselves driving around Forsaking the main highways And following the side roads As they wound up hill And down again in an Aimless kind of wandering. Driving in the back roads One HAS to drive slowly Because of their condition And their narrowness, But that in Yael is foe. Something a blessing, Because one then has time To look around and view The prodigal richness Of the rural scenery, Of fields richly green,* trees in the background re many hues mingle With each other to create 4 Litre of loveliness, anced by blossoms white and lilac.

Indian Affairs Committee Busy By DON O'HEARN Special C for orrespondent The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- As usual when the government sets out to help any- ody it's going to hit the pocket- book. In this case it's the Indians again. The real root of the Indian Jrob- lem lies in their economic k- ground. The big question this com- mittee should tackle, and so far we can't see that they have got at it, is how can the Indian help raise himself to a better standard of living. SECOND RATE No politician would ever admit it; but neither can he deny that Canada's first citizens are second raters today. They have fewer rights, poorer health, less educa- tion, and a dimmer future than almost any other major group in the country. The reason? They are poor, sen- sitive, proud and emotional despite their haughty look. We have t fine big words, and made many grand-sounding promises to him at impressive treaty - making cere- monies. But when the tom-toms have stopped and we get down to business, the Indians get the short end of the deal nearly every time. DISTRUSTFUL They cannot be blamed much when they asked: "What do we get if we vote, and how much will it cost us this time?" The committee could recommend that the Indian use beverage room and cocktail louges if he desires. It's doubtful if that will do him much good. But he'll likely get this right anyway. Better health, and more welfare measures are a topic yet to be examined extensively by the com- hope the committee will go be- yond that. CO-OPERATION NEEDED One example: The committee found a widow with five children on one reservation. She got $20 monthly from the federal Indian Affairs Branch. A little came in from the band's funds. A scheme could be worked out to extend provincial welfare meas- ures to ti Indians through co- operation with the federal people. It likely will. That same Indian mother, were she a white person, would get a minimum of $90 monthly. NOT FA ENOUGH Similarly more extensive educe- tional Opportunities can be offer ed bright young Indian children. Few are now available under the federal plan but Ontario could expand this. are must be taken, however, that all these measures are really heading in the right direction. We must be certain that whatever we do for the Indians doesn't merely end up in their becoming more dependent than ever on the senior governments. That would cost too much money and would be a be- trayal ef trust. ere is a field where Ontario can really take the lead. It is a difficult problem because in many cases Indian bands are almost sovereign peoples technically, But let's have something more than a new handout scheme.
