8 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, November %5, 1089 Editorials The Dilly Times Gasetie (Oshawa, Whilby), publisied by Times Gasette Publishers. Limited Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Te Queen Writing New History In Her Ce oli Tour Our beloved Queen Elizabeth is writ- ifig & new page in the history of the Brit- ish Commonwealth. On Monday evening, she left London on a trip which will take Her oni a 50,000-mile journey around many of the Commonwealth, mostly in the South Paeifie. Never before has any British sovereign made such a journey. On Tuesday, she was for a short time an unofficial visitor to Canada, when her planie made a brief halt at Gander, New- foundland, and then continued on its way to Bermuda. The journey on which Her Majesty has embarked is no pleasure ride. it is an arduous and tiring trip, undertaken ad & matter of royal duty, so that she could visit some of her far-flung realms and eolonies. It means a six months' separation from her two ehildren, to whom she is a devoted mother. In the eourse of her travelling, the Queen will open six parliaments, make four broadeasts, lay seven wreaths, unveil three memorials and plant &ix trees. She will attenid 50 state balls, garden parties, lunches and dinners. She will be the guest of honor at 145 publie receptions "and official ceremoniés. She will be pres- ent at 88 children's displays and athletie exhibitions. The trip of 50,000 miles will include 19,650 miles of air travel, 18,850 miles by sea, 9,900 miles by road and 1,600 miles by rail. She will sleep in fourteen differ- ent government houses, ten hotels, three private homes, two ships, one train and one royal palace. That all adds up to a very formidable program for a young woman, especially as through it all she will be constantly reminded of the solemn nature of her official responsibilities. It is a schedule which might well take toll of the strength of a robust man, let alone a young woman. Her subjects everywhere will watch with ifiterest her progress all along the way, and the prayer "God Save the Queen" will be on many lips as she carries out her duties in faraway places. Higher Pay For Troops Defenice Minister Claxton has an- notinoed that, effective as of December 1, there will be general increases in pay for all ranks if the armed services of Canada: The ihéFeades range from $5.00 a month for newly-enlisted lower ranks to $100 & month for the top officer rank. It eafinot be said that these ificreases it pay for the armed services are not justified, Compared with the possible earnings in industry and business, those * gérving in the army, navy and air force, have not had even reasonable pay levels. This may #ccount for the fact that it is not an easy matter to secure sufficient redFults 96 keep the armed forces up ¥o the strength "required by our defence needs. Possibly the inereased rates of pay may have a beneficial offest on the re- ctuiting figures. What is perhaps more important ie the fact that the new rates, graded more steeply with promotions to higher rafiks, will make the army, navy and air force much more attractive as a life-time dareer. In the non-commissioned ranks, as well as those of commissioned officers, the increases have been such as to offer inducements for young men of ability to devote their lives to the armed services, with their hopes for promotion, and the new financial rewards that are offered for those who are capable of advanee- ment. The increases, of course, mean higher defence bill for the sountry to pay. But the defence of our freedom is of sueh vast importance that no citizen of Canada should objest bo the sacrifices that are necessafy %o oreate and maintain the force required to defend it. Introduction To Citizenship Diirinig the last week, several groiips of publie and high sehool students of On- tale Couiity have been taken to Toronto afid have made a tour of the Parliament Buildings. These included children from Whitby, Uxbridge, Greenbank and Prince Albert. ' As they went through the Legis- lative Chamber and the other places of interest in the buildings, an experienced giilde gave them lectures on the signifi- cance of what they were seeing. Siich trips for school children are highly eommendable; aid one might wish that more of our young people had the opportunity to take this informative tour. We can réchll a few years ago that it was quite a usual thing for groups of school children t6 be brought to the Legislative Othet Editors' Views WOMEN AS CLASSICISTS i (la Presse, Montreal) 16 16 evident that the women of this city wish td profit tore and nore from the educational saoilities put at their disposal . , .

This was their introduction #0 the ultimate purposes of citizenship, and gave them a fine appreciation of how democracy works in the Province of On- tario. The trips made by the Ontario County children will, although to a more limited degree, because the House is not if session, serve the same purpose. In view of the marked apathy of so many of our people to the duties and re- sponsibilities of citizenship and to the workings of democracy, it is a good thing to bring these young people ifito éontact with the sources of law in Ontario. They can learn a great deal that will make a lasting impression on their youthful minds by visits of this kind. Editorial Notes The mayor of New York threatened to lock milk strike negotiators in the same room until they reached an agree- ment. Of, possibly, until the under- taker had to be called in.

There is none like it when you reach the end of life's journey, pillow your head upon its promises; and God stoops and kisses you to sleep!" --bf. J. Wilbur Chapman.
