' 6 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, June 30, 1953 Editorial Whe Bally Times sh Whitby). by Times-G 57 Simcoe Street Senth, Oshawa, Ontario OshawaHasDone Splendidly In Civil Defence Courses The other evening some 132 citizens of 'Oshawa who had completed successfully courses of training in civil defence pre- paredness were presented with certifi- cates issued by the Ontario government. This is an excellent showing, and reflects great credit on Civil Defence Co-ordinator Thomas Hopkins, and his predecessor Norman 8. Millman. They have, in their respective spheres and during the time they have held office, done much to create a consciousness of the need for being prepared for emergencies through the medium of civil defence training. The fact that there are in Oshawa 132 people who have earned their certificate for having completed courses in civil de- fence training does not, of course, give Oshawa a civil defence organization. It does not mean that there s in Oshawa a ready-made organization staffed and equipped to meet emergencies. There has not, as yet, been any move towards re- cruiting the rank and file personnel of the various civil defence divisions. It does mean, however, that a sufficient number of key people have been given training to make possible the recruiting and in- struction of personnel at short notice. That in itself is very much worth while, because it provides the nucleus of the manpower and womanpower needed to fill in the gaps. While it is no use pretending that Osh- awa is organized and equipped to any sub- stantial degree for civil defence prepared- ness, the progress made so far has been commendable. We doubt if many cities in Oshawa size classification, can boact of as good a record >f key personnel train- ing as can this city. And it has been proven that our citizens are willing to make the sacrifice of their time necessary to take the training prescribed when the need for it is pointed out to them. Family Doctor Relationships Part of the blame for the great increase in so-called psychosomatic illness (involv- ing both mind and body) can be put on the breakdown of the old family doctor , relationships of the past quarter century, in the opinion of Dr. Glenn I. Sawyer, ex- ecutive secretary of the Ontario Medical Association. "The family physician is the one who fs going to get to know your particular situation, the type of work you do, your living conditions, the people you live with, your financial responsibilities, your re- ligioue beliefs, and all those factors that influence the welfare of the average in- dividual," argues Dr. Sawyer. "This de- velopment of mutual trust and confidence between patient and doctor is one of the greatest stabilizing forces in modern so- ciety." Dr. Sawyer pointe out that recent rapid expansion of industrial areas, with whole new communities being established in a few months, has caused disruption in the desirable family doctor relationship. Too often when people move into a new community they take no steps to select a family doctor until some emergency presents itself--not infrequently in the middle of the night or over a week-end holiday. In desperation they then start phoning their way through the list of local physiicans in the telephone directory and blaming the doctors because they are unable to drop whatever they may be doing and give immediate care. Some people become quite upset when they dis- cover that the doctor they have decided at the last minute to call is out of town. That he had arranged for the care of his regular patients did not protect much chance callers of whom he had no knowl- edge. Another important reason for estab- lishing contact with a family physician is the fact that one is then much more likely to see about having periodic medi- eal examinations, and to consult him in the event of the appearance of some un- usual symptom. : The best investment that can be made in the interest of health is that first telephone call or consultation to estabe lish contact with a family physician -- and not at the eleventh hour. Egypt Still a Question Mark For the western world the interesting point in connection with General Naguib's transformation of Egypt from a monarchy into a republic is what it may presage. Does the change foreshadow military action to foree Britain out of Suez? In effecting the transition, Naguib has moved with a measure of caution. In July, 1968, he ousted King Farouk. In Febru- ary, 1958, he issued a constitution procla- mation vesting rule over Egypt in him- self and a 18-man military oouneil for three years. Since Farouk's exile, Prince Abdel Moneim has been regent for Farouk's 17- months-old son, the titular King Fuad II. Now, with the declaration of the re- public, the baby king and the royal family are divested of all titles and the regency terminates. Under the, new regime, General Mo- hammed Naguib becomes president and premier, wth Lieut.-Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser as deputy premier and minister of the interior. Editorial Notes Strange how political life takes hold of one. Arthur Beauchesne, who retired after 23 years as clerk of the House of Commons, now plans to run as a federal election eandidate.

Nearly a year ago, when the western democracies hailed Naguib's coup as ush- ering in a better and a brighter era for Egypt, we questioned this attitude. K Naguib and his entourage are any better than Farouk and the Wafd Party, it is only because they could be no worse. Naguib's difficulty in reaching a sane and fair understanding with Britain, in the past Egypt's best friend is due to the fact that any Egyptian leader has to ride the wild horses of nationalism or be trampled by them. As a military man, Naguib must realize Egypt's inability to defend the Suez canal or to defeat any well-armed and com- petently-led aggressor. But whether, in- spired by their country's new status as a republic, the Egyptians will decide to drive out the British by force of arms, is the great question following Naguib's new move, A Bit of Verse SET ON A HILL Climb you well, Climb with a will, Away from the traffic And up the hill.

Rapid transit system workers say the temperature never varies from between 50 and 60 degrees Fahren- heit, whether surface dwellers are sweltering or. shivering. The city-owned Toronto transpor- tation commission expects its sub- way to cost a cool $58.500.000 be- fore its turnstiles open to the pub- lic in February, 1954. The concrete tunnels that will carry the trains under crowded downtown streets are complete. More than 70 per cent of the track has been laid and most of the sta- tions are in the final stage of con- struction. CARS EXPECTED SOON First of the 104 English-built cars will arrive in Toronto in July. The fleet will cost about $8.000,000. By the end of 1953, officials expect to. see preliminary test runs started. 3 In full operation, the. trains will be able to carry 40,000 persons an hour from downtown Union sta tion 4%. miles north to Eglinton avenue. Trolley buses then will carry "northerners" about two miles farther to the city limits. The whole subway trip is ex- cted to take less than 20 minutes in rush hour. Surface travellers should save time too. Yonge street--the city's main north-south artery--will be cleared of street-cars when the subway starts rolling. Yonge cars now carry about 12,000 passengers an hour in rush periods--and move an average of six miles an hour. The constant below-surface tem- perature makes winter heating un- necessary but above-ground sta- tions will be heated by "off-peak" power. RUSH-HOUR DEMANDS During rush hours the trains will need all the power to carry their thousands of passengers. But be- tween the peaks of demand, some electricity will heat water to warm the stations. Six of the 12 stations will have entrances directly from stores -or office buildings. The rushing trains will do more than carry passengers--they will also be air pumps. Huge vents have been built into the subway walls at each end of the under- ground stations. The trains--ar- riving every 2'%2 minutes--will act as pistons, driving stale air up- ward and out through steel grat- ings in the street. As they pass again, the suction will draw fresh air back in. When the trains stop, big emer- gency fans will supply fresh air. Other emergency equipment in the tunnels includes doorways from one tunnel to another and lamps that operate automatically on bat- teries in case of a power failure. Engineers have taken elaborate precautions to prevent accidents. The signal system not only warns the driver to stop with a red light, but automatically stops the train if the driver doesn't. AUTOMATIC OPERATION Everything possible is being op- erated automatically in the sub- way. Each passenger sells himself tickets--in the form of dime-sized tokens--from vending machines. He will pick up his own transfer to surface cars from a rack and have it stamped in a time-and- date machine. He will drop his token into a turnstile slot-to let himself onto the platform. But subway officials have for- bidden certain automatic ma- chines. There will be no coffee dis- pensers, no soft-drink machines, no sandwich or food purveyors Each station will have its news stand concession selling papers, cigarets and candy. Advertise- ments on the station platform will encourage the passengers to buy all manner of goods--somewhere else Advertising boards will occupy the pillars in the centre of each station--as far away as possible from the platforms and moustache- drawing children. "PUBLIC-PROOF" TTC engineers consider the sta. tions almost "'public proof." Glass- faced masonry on the walls is be- lieved to be almost impervious to pin scratches and knife pokes, and drawings can be removed easily. Stainless steel hand rails and plas- tic-faced doors are designed to mark with difficulty and clean quickly. Aluminum oxide abrasives in the terazzo floors makes slip- ping almost impossible. Getting lost in the subway will also be difficult. Each station is marked with its name in large letters along the walls and also by a distinctive color combination. Above-ground stations serve "open cut' sections of the line. Here the rails emerge from the tunnels and run on ordinary rail- way-type tracks with wooden ties. In the tunnel sections, the rails rest on steel plates bolted to the concrete floor. Rubber pads under the plates, sound-insulating mater- ial under the lip of the platform and acoustic tile in various sec- tions are designed to reduce the noise to a minimum. Smooth- welded rails eliminate the charac- teristic clickety-clack of most rail- ways More than 1,000,000 bags of ce ment were used to build the sub- way and 12;000 tons of reinforcing steel. Structural and rail steel ac- counted for another 13,850 tons GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Union Jack Grows In Favor As National Flag Of Canada By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION The Union Jack, as a national flag for Canada, has made some gains in popular esteem since last Dominion Day. Whether or not the Coronation has had anything to do with it, the fact is that the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion today finds an in- crease in the number of Canadians who would like to use the Union Jack as the Canadian flag, and a decrease in the number who favor designing an entirely new flag. The Canadian Red Ensign, which has been authorized for flying over Canadian Government buildings, still remains popular with only a comparatively small percentage of voters. aa Early last year, and again in its latest Poll, the Institute put this question to a balanced cross-sec- tion of voters: Noe "WHICH OF THESE THI DO YOU THINK CANADA SHOULD DO ABOUT ITS FLAG- --DESIGN A NEW NATIONAL FLAG OF ITS OWN, OR USE THE CANADIAN RED ENSIGN, OR USE THE UNION JACK?" Trend in the past is shown by this table: FAVOR New Flag' design Red Ensign Union Jack No Opinion 1952 TODAY 46 3 Sharpest cleavage of opinion is found when the views of French speaking Canadians are compared with those of English speaking Canadians: French English FAVOR New Flag Red Ensign Union Jack No Opinion Asked by Gallup reporters for reasons, those people desiring a completely new flag explained they felt Canada was a completely in- dependent country in its own right, and therefore needed a flag of its own. Those supporting the historic Red Ensign argued in the main that this had already reached of- ficial status, and there was no reason to change. "No reason to change' was also the chief argu- ment advanced by those who would prefer to have the Union Jack as Canada's flag, -plus the fact it symbolizes a link with Britain Several times in recent years the issue of a new flag has been introduced into the House of Com mons, debates have followed, and at one time designs were invited for a new flag. However, although the Canadian Red Ensign is au thorized to be flown on national occasions, . the matter is still confused in the public mind, as evidenced by the fact that some Canadians interviewed spoke as if the Red Ensign were the national flag of Canada, and others as if the Union Jack were the natioal flag The first two Labor members of the British Parliament, J.

Lewis Stevenson reviewed his 31 years 'of service at the OCVI at a meeting held there in his honor. A portrait of Mr. Stevenson was unveiled. The Parks Board saved some $200 by growing plants from seed to be transplanted for the beauti- fication of Oshawa. Ned Smith, superintendent of Lakeview Park, grew the plants under glass at his ome. Lakeview Park proved to be a popular spot during a heat wave. . Local butchers advertised round steak at 14 cents per pound. Alderman and Mrs. Allan F. Annis attended the reunion of the Annis family at Port Union. Over 200 members of the family were present. Mr. and Mrs. Annis later went to Boston to the Rotary In- ternational convention. The members of the Kiwanis Club held a "bee" at the Kedron camp to paint and do repair work. They also constructed a dam. A party of Canadian Legion mem- rs assisted in the work. The Oshawa Maroons Football Club donated a large supply of football boots to the rellet camp at Barriefield. Tenders were called for the con- struction of a seawall and freight shed at Oshawa Harbor. READERS' VIEWS Sees Rosenberg Case As Political Persecution The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir, -- It appears to me that Mr. Kelly is attempting to quell liberal opinion, by flag waving and crying of freedom, in order to sug- gest that persons of opposite opin- ion are less loyal than hmself. I think I can simplify my stand by saying that under Canadian or British justice, Julius and Ethel Rosenburg would not have been executed, whether proven innocent or guilty of the crime of con- spiracy with which they were charged. Mr. Kelly quoted statements made by President Eisenhower. On Friday June 26. The Globe and Mail editorials described these statements as bloated, and stated that if we take the harshest pus- sible view of the Rosenburgs that it is plain they were no more than in- significant messengers. Political persecution is a poor substitute for justice, and I do not think that the Rosenburg killing is made any cleaner by Mr. Kelly's attemtp to associate it with high ideals. It is' most unfortunate that the United States of America, at pres- ent leader of the Western Allian, ces indulge in questionable activi- ties that create a great deal of alarm, and tend to weaken our cause of Democracy.

But out of all those who Start on a motor trip To spend the holiday, There will be those who Will not come back. Because past experience Tells us that on July 1, There will be a long list Of fatal accidents to People who went off for A happy holiday and ended It as victims of tragic Accidents on the highway. It is truly a sobering Thought to realize that Some of those who start With good intentions on Motor trips will never Finish them but will Instead be taken off te Some hospital or to an Undertaking parlor.
