Every year, at this §, it has been the custom of this hos- aly known as the hospital at whose brg no child ever knocks in vain, to i¢ an appeal for funds. At a season the hearts of most people are cen- d}on the needs of children, such a mpaign is particularly appropriate. The story of the remarkable work th has been carried on by the Hospital Sick Children since it was established years ago is well known. In its last mplete year, the hospital admitted 285 patients. Of these, 7,580 were nt'the city of Toronto and 11,705 were m points outside of that city. They me from every province in Canada. firty-one of them came from the United tes and six from other countries, in and South America. Thus the rew's Recovery on. George Drew, leader of the Prog- ive Conservative party and the oppo- on in the House of Commons, left pital a few days ago after a severe k of meningitis. Pictures of Mr. pw leaving the hospital on the arm of wife show him smiling, and waving the photographers, but at the same they revealed traces of the serious ess through which he had passed. The that he was confined to hospital for eral weeks, and is not yet allowed to pive any visitors, is an indication of struggle for life which his illness in- ved. Regardless of political affiliations, the nds of Mr. Drew--and he does have onal friends in all political parties-- rejoice at his recovery from his seri- illness. An attack of meningitis, at fety Habits At here may be some merit in the appeal fie by Hon. Dr. E. J. Dunlop, Ontario's ster of education, to teachers pughout the province to give their pu- _a special traffic safety lesson prior he Christmas holiday season. When considers the toll of accidents, fatal otherwise, which usually has to be brded at that season any measure to mote traffic safety should be wel- ed. It is not, however, the school children hb are responsible to any great extent this spate of accidents. True, there F be the occasional accident in which a d has been careless. But the records w that the upswing in accidents at the istmas season is usually due to the that people returning from wild or- of drinking drive their cars when Of Verse NOVEMBER November is a sombre month Of pewter skies and dull burnt leather, : When trees have lost their paisley For saddle brown and auburn weather, Above a wood of terra cotta Where forest path in ochre turns, Against a sky of molten gray The hills are poured in copper urns. The geese at twilight cannot claim Their teal blue wing or gold web- bed feet, When arrowed flight is sharply bronzed When metal skits and autumn meet. --~ELIZABETH HUMERICKHOUSE he Daily Times-Gazette Published by TIMES-GAZETTE PUBLISHERS LIMITED 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa Daily Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) combining Times ( d ) Whitby s and of The Canadian Press, the Canadian Daily Association and the Ontario Provincial Dailies on and the Audit Bureau of Circulation.

CULATION FOR NOVEMBER 1 2,589 M. : 44 King hospital is much more than a local Toron- to institution. It is truly national, with the province of Ontario, with 10,577 pati ents admitted from outside Toronto, mak- ing the greatest use of its facilities. , Thus it is natural that the Christmas appeal for the Hospital for Sick Children should be directed across Canada, and particularly to Ontario points. For in- stance, in the last complete year, Ontario county, including the City of Oshawa, sent 418 patients to the hospital, and 219 more came from the adjacent counties of Northumberland and Durham. There should, therefore, be considerable local interest in this Christmas appeal by the Hospital for Sick Children for contribu- tions to enable it to continue its life- saving work for children. For 1954, it is estimated, a deficit of some $215,947 is anticipated. It would be a wonderful thing if the donations through the Christ- mas appeal were sufficient to enable it to end the year with a balanced budget. Is Welcomed one time, was considered almost sure to have fatal results. It is a tribute to the advances made by medical science that he has made a good recovery, and now needs only to have a restful convalescence to recuperate his health and vigor. Mr. Drew has, during his political career, made a splendid contribution to the political life of the province of On- tario and the Dominion as a whole. The swing of political fortunes has kept him in the opposition leader's office since he entered the House of Commons but even in that capacity he contributed much to the work of parliament in its legislative capacity. He is needed in parliament to act as a vigilant watchdog on the actions of the government, and for that reason, the country as a whole will welcome his recovery and his return to health and strength. Christmas they should not do so. Police statistics show that there is a definite upward curve in drunken driving and in careless and reckless driving, at the time of the Christmas and New Year's celebrations. There should, therefore, be something more than an appeal to the school chil- dren to observe traffic safety rules during the Christmas holidays. There should be a severe warning from police and law en- forcement authorities as to the conse- quences that will surely follow on driving while ability is impaired by liquor, and on careless and reckless driving which re- sults in accidents. Only a realization that offences of this kind will be closely check- ed by police, and that swift and adequate penalties will follow, will be effective in keeping down the toll of holiday accidents. Editorial Notes All we can say now is "Do your Christ- mas shopping"'-period. ' "Butter on our Hands" is the subject of an Ottawa newspaper editorial, and the writer wants to know what to do with it. Anything but wipe it on our vest. In an Ontario town a man who com- plained about the fire department said he had never voted in his life. If there is anything wrong with the fire department, it served him right. Other Editors' Views GENTLEMEN IN POLITICS (Philadelphia Bulletin) Politics is said to be a dirty game, but in Con necticut at least there are some gentlemen in it. The son of the Democratic candidate for state controller was stricken with infantile paralysis a few days ago, and the aspirant had to suspend his campaign indefinitely. His Republican oppo- nent promptly called off his own campaign until the Democrat can resume the stump. If politics could attract more men of that type, campaigns might not be in such bad odor. CANADA INVOLVED IF US. AT WAR (Peterborough Examiner) If a real split were to develop in the free world, Canada would have no choice in the matter but to sv the way of the United States. She can advise, admonish and disapprove, up to a point, but if the point is critical (for instance, one of war), Canada could not remain uncommitted, in view not only of her present treaty obligations of mutual assist- ance but also of the nature of any war in which the power of the United States was threatened, Atomic war cannot be waged by or against the U.S. without Canada being physically involved. QUEEN'S PARK . | Strikes Causin Other Layo By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to he Times-Gazette T TORONTO: The monthly Eco. nomic Review of Ontario (which you can secure by writing the bur- eau of statistics and research, Par. liament Buildings, Toronto) gives arming that strikes at the Ford plants in Windsor, Oakville and Etobicoke, are having their adverse effects on other com- munities. It points out they already have caused layoffs in feeder plants in Hamilton, St. Thomas, London, Sar- Ja, Guelph, Brantford and Strat. ord. It is predicted strikes themselves and this incidental unemployment will be reflected in employment statistics over the next few mon- ths, even if the strikes are settled.

Every post brings an avalanche of those little white visiting cards, The more chic invitations are those in which "madame" only invites, This is just the fashion at the moment. It is, nevertheless, in- variably monsieur who pays. Having given up long ago the practice of rushing from one party to another, and y being every- where and nov I now care- fully choose my ig. If one is weak - willed to try to please all, the a nervous breakdown. This ne y happened to a friend of mine who, new to Paris, was caught in » yortex, and at the end of a month had to go away for a rest in the coun- try. One of the nicest private recep- tions this week was given by M. Henri Mazet, the newspaper own- er and financier, and his charm- ing wife, in their lovely fifth floor flat with a terrace overlooking the Place Victor Hugo. Madame Mazet, a singer and pianist of tal- ent, entertained her guests 'with folk songs sung in various tongues. She is, incidentally, an excellent linguist. THE FLEA MARKET M. Mazet, good - looking, with snow-white hair, in spite of his 48 ears, and father of three pretty ittle girls, is a keen art collector. Their home is quite an art gallery. He told me that some of his treas- ures were. bought literally for a song at the Flea Market. His hob- by is to go on Sunday afternoons and loiter around the stalls of his famous market, After a strenuous week, he finds relaxation foraging amongst such miscellaneous ob- Jects as old saucepans, odds and ends of furniture, bits of carpets and old picture frames. It is not always that he finds "something." Yet, judging from his collection, he obviously succeeds more often than not. , This Market "Aux Puces" as it is called, takes place near the old ramparts in the north of the capi- tal. The Metro de Clignancourt" brings one within easy reach of this market which extends for miles. At first sight the impression: is that of a giant shanty town. The market lasts for a day and a half each week, beginning on Sat- urday at noon. Years ago, many valuable paintings and unique an- tiques were found there, but now these golden opportunities have been somewhat spoiled by tourists and professional art dealers, It is necessary to have plenty of time and not to be in a hurry. A keen eye, a flair and a Jacility for bar- gaining are also essential. It is not the only international player who said "No bid" to it. He was the fourth player to bid, the other three having already passed. With ace, king, queen, jack, ten and 9 of spades, the ace, king and queen of hearts and the ace, king, queen and jack of clubs, he said, "No bid."' The person on his left had the eight, seven, six, five, four, three and two of spades, and the eight, seven, six, five four and three of diamonds. His partner op- site had a few big diamonds. he rest was unimportant, He sus- pected it was impossible to make the maximum bid as other cham- pions had unwittingly done, so he threw in his hand, which made quite a sensation in the bridge world. Indeed, as the cards were, the grand slam was out of the question. Please don't ask me to only a question of bargaining, but €XPlain the "coup." I just leave it also of knowing how to bargain. Unfortunately, an exaggeration in to those of you who were bridge experts to work it out for your. this sense has made it very diffi. Selves. cult for anyone with a foreign ac- cent to obtain a real bargain, as automatically the price is quad- rupled before any discussion be- gins. Our friend can spot a dirty old vase and guess at once its true value, or a faded picture in a dil- apidated frame. Once in possession of these objects, he has them re- stored -- quite a costly business-- and with suitable lighting they are placed in just the right corner of is flat, SOME AMAZING BRIDGE To get back to the party, I had one of those rare opportunities of playing bridge with a Yugoslavian of international standard. Our host and hostess, as is so often done, had placed a couple of card tables in an ante-room, and invited those of their guests who wished to play to make a four. I found myself with a retired general, a Franco- Argentine business man and the Yugoslavian diplomat. After ex- changing the usual conversation on the conventions, and fixing the tariff, which even after a long and unlucky evening could not do more damage than a mere 500 francs or so, I soon began to realize that my partner was no ordinary play- er. He seemed to know instinctive- ly what cards the other players were holding, and had an uncanny knack of making tricks where any- one else would have lost them. When it was time to change places and the general's turn to partner the crack (and a good average player at that) he said, jokingly, "I should feel more at ease at the head of an army than playing with you." Evidently we all had a good lesson, and a thoroughly enjoyable time, as our champion never made a disagreeable remark, as so often happens with lesser players. He even complimented me once or twice, I am proud to say. After the game, he told us of a deal he was given in a big tournament and had the satisfaction of being MAC'S MUSINGS There is something inspiring In mingling with the crowd Of Chrigmas shoppers On the streets of Oshawa These busy days and evenings And to note the warmth Of spirit which seems to Come from each individual Young and old alike As people jostle each other, In a good-natured way Exuding the real spirit Of the festive season. In these Christmas crowds We see smiling faces With cheery wrinkles Around their eyes, And we note cheeks ruddy In the sharp winter air, Breath coming from lips Like wisps of steam In the cold atmosphere Of the December day. And the children, bless them, Are eager for every sight Of store windows filled With the Christmas symbols, Their eyes shining with joy As they take their part In the happy throng, Pulling with impatience At the restraining hands Of cautious parents who Dare not let go the Youthful enthusiasts In so great a crowd. Yes, it is inspiring To sense the happines That fills the hearts Of those who make up The motley Christmas Crowd on the sidewalks, And we feel refreshed To know that this season Has lifted people out Of the mundane round of Worldly worries to rejoice At the Christmas season.

Over the year it is down three point one per cent and compared to September 19538 the last figure available), it is off four point four per cent. The bulk of the blame is laid to reduced employment in the auto- mobile, iron and steel industries. ONE INCREASE The one area showing an in- crease is the Dundas, Glengarry, Grenville, Leeds and Stormont dis- tricts of eastern Ontario. Responsibility is credited to sev- eral large new industries in the area and the initial work on the seaway project. Some credit also probably should go to the fact that over the past few years there has been no sec- this ture to Other areas, such as the Lake- Gi head (where at present there are al thousands of unemployed, the bulk of them goasupal workers) might take a lesson this il- lustration that secondary industry Pi iste: er, in- cidentally, has announced that the government's development council plan is being extended to three more areas: Gi , Lake Ontario the Kingston, lleville district) and the wu Grand (Galt, Guelph and Kitchener). One shortcoming of the plan, and one which is holding it back, would seem to the observer to be that the department itself isn't too clear on just what its purpose is. e broad intent is to enable the various sections of the province to do long-term planning for their areas so that they will continue to grow and so far as possible build to balanced economies. The work has to be done by local people, however, with governmen- tal financial and technical assist- ance, and of course it is imperative that these local ple know from the start just what they are sup- posed to do. This, the department apparently doesn't seem able to get across-- at least that is the impression from its experience in northwestern On- tario, where it ran into a lot of opposition, and from the public atements it has made. These last are not at all clear, and would in- dicate the department's state of mind is in the same condition. IN DAYS GONE BY 35 YEARS AGO Ontario County horses shown 4 W. F.

If you know you have an ulcer and feel widespread severe tender- ness over your abdomen, it's a pretty good indication that it is in danger of breaking through the stomach or bowel wall. If you have extreme agonizing pain, it's like- ly the perforation or riptare has already occurred. In is casey your breathing became shallow, your pulse may increase, and your abdomen is hard and tender. PROFUSE BLEEDING If there is a great deal of bleed- ing when the ulcer ruptures, you may feel faint, weak, dizzy and begin to sweat. You probably vom- it blood, too, After a short time, you'll deve- lop symptoms of shock. Your tem- perature will increase, your blood pressure will drop, and your abdo- men will become swollen. here will also be an increase in the number of white cells in the blood. Well before these symptoms have developed, I hope you have summoned your doctor, because, in a case like this, an operation is necessary. You must be kept absolutely uiet and given complete rest. Tugs can taken to overcome restlessness and pain. 'eeding must continued. In fact, your doctor will permit you to swallow as much as you desire, excluding, of course, everything barred by your diet. If the ulcer is bleeding % you'll need a blood transfusion. he doctor will also give you fluids and dextrose solutions through the veins. AVOIDING AN OPERATION By intelligently planning your diet, however, getting enough rest and keeping calm, you probably will never need an operation for your ulcer. If you do need surgery, however, don't worry about it. Mrs. L. K.: I have had piles for three years, and have a constant ain in the rectum. It this ser- ous? Answer: As a rule, Flos are not serious. It is advisable, however, that you have the condition cor- rected. Surgery is often required. Injection treatment may be satis- factory. Your ysician will ad- vise you as to the best treatment in your case. profuse- Labor Finds Employers Less Ready For Contracts OTTAWA (CP)--Canadian labor tightened its ranks internally dur- ing 1954 but found increasing re- sistance to improving contract terms in its dealings with employ- ers. Within labor, the year's most significant event was the signing of a no-raiding agreement between the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, with 580,000 members, and the 375,000-member Canadian Con- gress of Labor. Union leaders see the armistice as the first step towards eventual amalgamation of the country's two largest labor bodies. DEPEND ON RECEPTION How effectively the pact works will depend on its reception by the big autonomous unions of the congresses. Unions covering the bulk of the membership are ex- pected to go along.

Dominion Rubber Strike Ends KITCHENER (CP)--The eight week strike at Dominion Rubber Company's textile division ended] today with the sig) of an agre ment between the division's gen-| ral manager, M. H. Hu and Harold Tischart, president o local 296, United Rubber Cork, Lin- oleum and Plastic Workers (CIO- CCL). "The agreement calls for an in- crease in the company payment to the welfare fund, formerly split equally between the company and employees. Under the new plan the company will contribute $8. a month to the fund for each em- ployee and each employee '$1.95. The agreement represents an in- crease of 1% cents from the com- pany. The company also agreed to a bulk sum of $11.70 a --_ each employee, either in cash or to the union as the members spe- cify. A concession granted to the company is a drop of $1,000 in the life insurance coverage for ems ployees. The new agreement calls for a $1,000 life insurance policy, which represents m half cent drop in wages. The strike involved 110 workers. Basic wage rate was $1.52 to $1.58 an hour, -- UNHAPPY JUVENILE LONDON (CP) -- A policeman told a Lambeth juvenile court that when a 12-year-old smoker saw him coming the boy hid a lighted cig- aret in his ket, set his trousers on fire and had to have hospital treatment, unions had to settle for none of all, for the first time in years The largest bargaining group-- the 145,000 non-operating rail works ers--got their smallest packa; since the post-war round of mands started. It was enforced arbitration after they had thre ened to strike. The year's biggest strike saw 6,600 workers walk out of Ontario plants of Ford of Canada. In the field of labor legislation, chief development was Parlia- ment's adoption of legislation ban ning discrimination on ground of ment's adoption of legislation ban- ning discrimination on ground of race or creed among workers in industries under federal labor jur- isdiction. SAME IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY The government adopted the same principle in his own con- tracts: with private industry. But the Commons defeated an attempt to have the checkoff of union dues made mandatory upon employers. It also took no action on a pro- posal for equal pay for men and women doing the same work. Late in the year, the prospect of relatively heav unemployment this winter led the government to employment insurance coverage, It was to be introduced early in the session opening Jan. 7, ear- marked for priority and fast pas- sage. Among labor personalities, 1954 was a milestone in that it marked the retirement of Percy R. Ben- gough as president of the Trades and Labor Congress after a dozen years at its head.
