6 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE. Thursday, June Iv, I99% Editorials The Daily" Times Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby), 'published by Times-Gazette Publishers, Limited 57 Simcoe Street South, ch Ontario Burned Out War Veterans Deserve Better Treatment Canadian Legion branches and their officers across Canada are irate over the refusal of the Prime Minister to consider legislation to increase the allowances un- der the War Veterans' Allowance Act. Re- percussions of their refusal are likely to be heard when the Legion has its Domin- jon convention ini Toronto in August. Als ready, the British Columbia provincial command has 'asked the Dominion Com mand to leave Veterans' Affairs Minister Lapointe off the guest list for the con- vention. British. Coumbia's 65' delegates have been instructed to walk out of the convention should Mr. Lapointe: 'be pres- ent and seek to speak. That seems like extreme action, but it is understandable. Legion officeps. find it difficult to understand why the gevern- ment has refused the request to increase the present allowances for burned .= out veterans of $50 a month for single men and $90 a month for married men. These amounts are certainly far helow what can be considered sufficient for a decent liv- ing standard of living for men who are suffering from the intangible disabilities of war servce. Perhaps, of course, the - government may feel that there are not enough war veterans' allowance recipients in Canada to make their appeal worth heeding from a political standpoint. Latest figures show there are now only 80,650 war veterans' allowance recipients in the whole of Can- ada. Perhaps this means that their voting strength is regarded as negligible and hardly worth considering. 'But behind them is the Canadian Le-: gion with a membership of 300,000 and we believe that all of Canada's million and a quarter veterans. are backing the Legion in its fight to better the lot of the - burned-out veteran and his dependents, That means a voting strength which. the government can hardly ignore. We feel quite sure that when the Le- gion holds its Dominion convention twe, months hence, the challenge that will be: placed before the government on this subject will not be one to be lightly re- bh A This Kind Of Tourist Not Wanted It is axiomatic that when people leave their own land to visit another, even: on holidays, they should be prepared to ob- serve and respect the laws of the country they are visiting. That, apparently never occurred to a group of seven U.S. tourists who appeared in court at North Bay the other day. They had come north on a fish- ng holiday, and how they did fish. When they were ready to leave, conservation of- ficers found they had hidden away in a compartment of their station wagon some 565 fish---yellow pickerel, pike and perch. Under the law, these seven fishermen were entited to take 12 fish each, or a to- tal of 84 for the group. ¥These seven men paid heavily for their regard of the laws of Ontario, and htly so. Their fine was $400, including rt costs. They paid another $400 to ve their station wagon, which had been s@ized, released. They valued their fishes ing tackle and outboard motors,. Also seiz- ed by the department of lands and forests, 'at another $400. They paid $35 for law- yer's fees, and $10 exchange on their U.S. : funds, Altogether it was an expensive lesson for them. Yet such action by the authorities was necessary in order to pro- tect Ontario's game fish resources against the depredations of greedy anglers such as these. The reaction of these tourists to their arrest is interesting. They said they had a lot of friends, and "will see that they do not come to this province for their holi- days." Well, that is quite all right as far as we are concerned. There is no welcome in On- tario for tourists who deliberately despoil our fish resources and in so doing break the laws which have been enacted for the benefit of our own people and tourists alike. It is quite all right with us if these seven culprits decide to give Ontario a wide berth in planning their future holi- days. Sorry Old Man You're Over Forty "There is an increasingly sinister atti- tude in Canadian industry toward the man ofer forty." That accusation is contained if a letter to the Financial Post from a inadian management engineer now em- ployed in the United States. For some tithe he has been trying to get a job in ada. ¥As an executive with a New York man- agement consultant firm he has had wide experience both in United States and Can- ada. Yet when he approaches a Canadian company for employment, he says he in- variably gets the: "Sorry old man, you're over forty." He writes: : "I wonder if our great country was built by 'teen-agers. God help all of us if the Adam Becks, Oslers, Bantings, etc., had been quietly ushered to a back rgom on their fortieth birthday!

"We're Ready" --NATO Head LONDON (AP) -- NATO's su- preme commander in Europe, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, has warned Russia that the West will met a Soviet attack with "'every weapon in our arsenal," including atomic bombs. "In our thinking we visualize the use of atomic bombs in the support of our ground troops; we also visalize the use of atomic bombs on targets in enemy ter- ritory," the American general told a D-Day anniversary dinner Tues- day at which Prime Minister Churchill also spoke and the Duke of Edinbur, ah Fesided.
