¢ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, October 8, 308 Editorials The Dally Times-Gasetle (Oshawa, Whitby). by Times-G 97 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Hunters Must Be Courteous In Invading Private Lands Fall's crisp days will soon call an army of hunters to the field. They go with readied weapons and high hopes of suc- cess, taking advantage of the fact that in this nation, game is considered to be the property of all the people. But when- ever something belongs to many people, too often there develops a lack of respon- sibility by individuals. Cut fences, trampled crops, dead cows, broken windows, littered trash, opened (but not closed) gates are just a few things many farmers and landowners face. Thoughtless, careless, and destrue- tive activities of some hunters are the: real reasons why so many signs are post- éd. Too many seem to think that beyond the city limits all is free land. Yet the city dweller would not appreciate a person walking through the flower beds, breaking down the back fence, shooting the dog, and leaving piénic trash on the front lawn. Posted land is usually the result of some personal loss or damage suffered by a landowner. He cannot and should not 'put up with it. Posting ie his only pro- tection. : But posting alone does not give pro- tection. What is really needed is some common courtesy by the sportsman. He should drive in the farmyard, ask per- mission to hunt, and find out where the farmer doesn't want him to go. Then the day will be pleasant for both hunter and farmer. The sportsman is a guest on the farmer's land, and few farmers will refuse permission to hunt if they are asked. The farmer, on his part can en- courage this by posting his land with signs which may read "Hunting by per- mission only." Posting is indeed a problem to both the sportsman and the farmers. The only real answer is education, then common sense and courtesy. 'Will Chinese Reds Go Home? Some curious stories are coming out of North Korea since the truce to end Korean hostilities was signed, and the fighting stopped. They are stories which indicate to some extent, the difficulties with which the Korean situatiin will be surrounded for some time to come. At the end of 1950, when the advanc- ing United Nations Army had the North Koreans driven to the northern boundary of their country with Manchuria, and ack up against the Yalu River, the North Koreans welcomed with open arms the advent of "volunteers" from Communist China. These Reds came in great strength. They were well armed, and were furnished with splendid modern equipment, much of which had its origin in Soviet Russia. They were able to drive the Allies back to the 38th parallel, and to create the stalemate in operations which lasted up to the time of the truce. This huge Red Chinese army has, however, created problems for North Korea, which, although a poor country with limited resources, has the burden of maintaining the Chinese Reds. In fact, it looks very much ag if the Chinese intend to stay in North Korea, which is too small for even its native population. It is not surprising that the North Koreans are asking their former allies to go back home to Red China and leave 'them their country. The Chinese have shown so little inclination to do this that it is reported that the North Koreans have appealed to Soviet Russia to put on the pressure to get them out of there. The North Koreans are not alone in wishing to see the Chinese return to their own Country. The Allied nations, fight- ing under the United Nations flag, would also like to see the Chinese move north behind their own boundary. The problem is how to persuade them to do so, now that they have become firmly established there, to such an extent that while they term the United Nations, forces for- eigners who should get out of South Korea, they feel that they have every right to remain in the north half of the country. And it is likely to take some very tough argument to make them think any differently. Ryerson Tech Supplies Big Need With many students from the city of Oshawa following various courses of inst- ruction at the Ryerson Institute of Tech- nology in Toronto, our citizens will be in- terested to know that in the five years it has been functioning as a civilian educa- tional institution, it has grown to be the largest school of its kind on the North American continent. The attendance there of so many of the city's young people during that five year period has naturally focussed some local attention on the part which Ryerson plays in the educational facilities of Ontario. Occupying premises on the old St. James Park, the former site of the To- ronto Normal School, Ryerson "Tech" is, actually the outgrowth of wartime act- ivities designed to furnish technical train- ing to service personnel. Editorial Notes A new private parking lot is being opened in Oshawa, and there is no one who will deny the need for it. A Connecticutt man knocked down a woman with his car, and then married her. His cave-man ancestor probably used a club. The Daily Times-Gazette .

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR SEPTEMBER 12,407 Ontario, 228 The present technical school performs for students in the so-called practical courses, much the same function as the university does for the academic students. It gives advanced training which is not available in most centers to students who though well grounded in the local schools, wish to learn more about the technical subjects in which they are practicularly interested. The school enables them to obtain more adequate training for their chosen work in life. It is reassuring to know! that the facil- ities which Ryerson "Tech" is providing are evailable for the students of this and other communities in Ontario and that it is no longer necessary to go outside the province to obtain that sort of training. Other Editors' Views MAY REPLACE DULLES (Hamilton Spectator) There is growing talk in the United States of the probability of Mr. Dulles' replacement as secretary of state. Canadians, who have just as much respect for Mr. Eisenhower as have their American neighbors, are bound to admire the president's loyalty to the men in his Cabinet. But they are also bound.to wonder how far he feels it necessary to carry that loyalty in the case of Mr. Dulles. . SAFETY DEVICE FOR DRUNK DRIVERS (Newsweek Magazine) Good news also eame last week for those who try to keep drunken drivers off the road, A safety device has been developed by inventor Alfons 8iedenhans of Munich, Germany, which consists of an alcohol meter attached to the dashboard of a car. Before the driver can start the motor, he must breathe into a rubber hose attached to the meter. If the indicator staggers up to "danger," the car won't start. If the driver's breath has only a moderate alcoholic content, the gadget will automatically hold high speed down to 36 miles an hour, Bible Thoughts "80 teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."--(Psalm 90:12).

OTTAWA REPORT 'Dockers Refuse To Handle U.S. Cargoes By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The headquarters of Canadian National Railways in Montreal was as busy as a beehive when I visited it late last week, preparing to handle transatlantic passengers off liners diverted from strike-bound ports in the States. Amongst the many ships which would dock at Halifax" while the port of New York was closed down was the great queen of the Atlan- tic, the Queen Mary. Three other Cunard Line ships, the Mauretania, the Britannic and the Georgic, would bring the number of pas- sengers from that one line alone to over 4,500. All Jf these, to- gether with their baggage and a quantity of cargo carried in the holds of those great liners, were to be transported to New York on special trains operated from Hali- fax by the Canadian National Railway. '"This emergency has dumped into our laps the biggest equip- ment marshalling problem we have faced since World War IL," a rail- way official told me. 28 SPECIAL TRAINS An average of seven special boat trains was being marshalled to carry passengers off each of these ships. Each train would consist of 40 sleeping cars, eight dining cars, 12 coaches and eight baggage cars. American ports from the Cana- dian border down to Virgi:ia were closed down by a strike of Inter- national Longshoremen's Associa- tion, a union which was kicked out of the AF of L last week because of the unsavory reputation for racketeering it had collected dur- ing the unhappy reign of its presi- dent Joseph P. Ryan. This strike in the States offered two great opportunities to Cana- dian ports and railways. First, some immediate extra employment and earnings; second, an oppor- tunity to demonstrate that Cana- dian facilities can give these lux- ury ocean liners service equalling that of the great American ports. When the first ship, the Britan- nic, docked at Halifax, the pas- sengers disembarked. But the dock- workers refused to handle cargo, so the liner sailed to! New York. This demonstration of brotherly love between the Halifax dock- workers and their counterparts in New York emphasized the strength and the weakness of the Canadian labor movement. It is largely a captive of the larger and more powerful unions in the States, chained to the chariot wheel of the big union bosses there. SOVEREIGNTY The Halifax dockworkers would not handle work which dropped blessedly into their laps, because they would be regarded as black- legs attempting to break the strike y an affilated union in another country. : This invasion of Canada by a picket line from a foreign country constitutes a flagrant and danger- ous breach of our national sover- eignty. A logical extension of this principle would be for no Canadian workman to act in any manner which might be prejudicial to un- ion: members in the States. This would mean that Canadian plants selling their products competitively in the States should be struck. And this of course would complete Can- ada's economic subservience to that country. It calls to mind the recent strike by m¥k delivery men in Toronto, whose local asked permission from its parent bodyin the States be- fore calling the strike. Canadian unions seem to be quite happy to be bossed from a foreign country. Yet when, in the more vital field of national defence, the Suggestion is made that Canadian an American anti-aircraft de- fences eshould be put under a uni- fied command for greater effic- iency, there is a loud squawk from Vancouver to Goose Bay that this would mean surrendering our na- tional sovereignty. There is an unreasonable lack of balance in Canada's servile kow- towing to a dockland racketeer so soon after our indignant repudia- tion of General Omar Bradley's generous suggestion. the away QUEEN'S PARK Kingston Member Cites An Unusual Occurrence BY W. M. NICKLE, MLA (PC--Kingston) TORONTO -- My father, W. F. Nickle, QC, had represented the constituency of Kingston in the House of Commons ard the On- tario legislature. And part of the time. when Hon. Howard Ferguson was prime minister of Ontario, my father was attorney-general. He broke with his party on the liquor issue, ran as an Indepen- dent Conservative in Kingston but was defeated and retired from pub- lic life. SON COMES IN It wasn't for some time after that I came along. In the provin- cial general election of 1951, I was elected to the same constituéncy, Kingston which includes the islands of Amherst, Howe and Wolfe. Prior to. the opening of the House in 1952, 'rime Minister Leslie M. Frost telephoned my father in Kingston and asked that he come up for the opening of the legislature, which he did. I found myself, on opening day, sitting in seat No. 2 in the legis- lative chamber. It is the same one that my father occupied as attor- ney-general in the Fe.guson ad- ministration. : PRF TER NOTED : When the house opened, Mr. Frost indicated that he served together in the First World War in the same 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade, he in the 20th battalion and I in the 21st. The prime minister went on to draw attention to my father sit- ting on the floor of t.e House di- rectly opposite him. ile said it was a great pleasure to him to be able to give me my father's old seat and an equal pleasure to have my father present to observe this event. MOST NOTABLE Without reservation this was the most touching experience of my life, politically or otherwise, due to the fact that my father at the time was over.80 years of age. It was an unusual event, as Mr. Frost observed. Here was a prime minister watching a former broth- er officer taking the -eat once oc- cupied by his father as a minister of the Crown, while the father looked on. The prime minister observed that it would probably never again' occur in the history of any parlia- ment of the British Empire.

It is only reasonable To expect occasionally Downward adjustments From the high peaks of Useful demand that we Have | been experiencing, Even in an economy which Is steadily expanding In a growing country. Nothing would be more Foolish than to see the Spectre of depression in Every sag from a record Peak in business, because This amounts to proposing That, no matter how great May be the boom, our Economic health lies Only in pressing it Constant upward, with The slightest falling off Regarded as a sure sign Of an imminent calamity. After all, our prosperity Is still far ahead of What it was in 1952, So that even if some Lines show a reasonable Recession from that high Mark we have set in 1953, We are still much better Off than we were last year. IN DAYS GONE BY 35 YEARS AGO \ According to the latest census, the population of Oshawa was 9,- 748. 1 P. H. Punshon was elected presi- dent of the Dshawa Curling Club. Word was received that Lieutene ant Moley Jacobi had beén promot- ed to the rank of captain. As a prelude to Fire Prevention Day, a demonstrationwas held at the Four Corners by the Fire Bri- gade. Later, speeches were made by Mayor F. Mason, Reeve E. I. Vickery, Dr. T. E. Kaiser and Fire Chief Angus Cameron who ued the hose wagon as a platform. Dr. T. W. G. McKay, Medical Health Officer, had published a list of instructions to help prevent the spread of influenza. Pte. Ralph Ward and Seg. 'Vi'- liam Butler were killed in action. George Norris, chairman of the Prop:rly « m ih: 0d of Education advertised for a jan- itor for Mary Street School. Frank Stevens, teacher of pipe organ at the Ontario Conservatory of Music, was engaged as organist at King Street Methodist Church to replace Mrs. Bales, who had re- signed. Rev. J. S. 1. Wilson was appoint- ed chairman of a committee to repare for a Civic Thanksgiving rvice to be held in the Martin Theatre. The project was sponsor- ed by Town Council and the local clergy. The Ontario Reformer proposed the followin Fire Procention con- undrum "Question, 'What is 'he difference between Fire Chief Cam- cron and Rev. J. S. I. Wilson?' Answer 'Angus Cameron is teach- ing people to avoid s here and Mr. Wilson is teaching them to avoid fire hereafter.' * UTICA "Use Chairs to Handle Crowd MRS. R. WILBUR Correspondent UTICA -- The anniversary ser- vice held in the Utica United Church on Sunday afternoon, Oc- tober 4, seemed like old times as the ehurch was so crowded chairs had to be placed in the aisles. The reason of course was the presence of Dr. E. Crossley Hunter. J. Hill opened the service by the call to worship followed b the usual form of service. After the psalm reading the Baker Hill Oc- tette sange, "Glorious is Thy Name' and following the announce- ments they sang, 'The Lord is My Shepherd." The organist was Mr. Clarion Baker. In his sermon Mr. Hunter said that it was 39 years ago when he came here first. This was his first home and his first church and here his first child was born. He said too, that his son Jack is now in a Toronto Hospital with polio. The topic of his sermon was -- What is the Meaning of Life? He said that many wise men, anclent and modern contended that life had no meaning and so it is with our purposeless, directionless genera- tion who have taken the great gifts of science and turned them to evil or sensuous ways. Jesus knew that He came from God and went to God and so He knew what way He must go and we also have this Knowledge and must follow in the same way. Let us give our lives in service to others. Noticed among the congregation was the Rev. Mr. Kennedy of Ux- bridge, Rev. Mr. King of White- vale and Mrs. T. Laidlaw, whose late husband was a former mini- ster here. PERSONALS : Mrs. W. Scott of Windsor was visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Jack Crosier this weekend. Fred O. Saunders of Moose Jaw was visiting Mrs. N. Ackney re- cently.
