Churchill Can Retire Now At Height Of His Glory London dispatches in increasing de- grees are referring to what they term the pending retirement of Sir Winston Churchill as Prime Minister of Great Brit- ain, and it now appears rather evident that an official announcement on the sub- ject is close at hand. It is predicted, of course, that Sir Anthony Eden, present Foreign Secretary, will be Sir Winston's successor. While the British people and the world at large have admired, and continue to admire, Sir Winston Churchill and his long and brilliant record in public life, not a few such persons may hope that it is true that he is contemplating retirement shortly. This for an understandable rea- son that involves the prestige of Churchill himself. Were Sir Winston to drop out now he would be dropping out at the height of his glory. And, it must be con- ceded, it is well where such a situation is presented. ; A general election in Great Britain is not far distant. It will have to come next year at the latest. Supposing Sir Winston were to cleave to the prime ministership, and his party, which hasn't a very for- midable majority now, were to go down to defeat in the coming election? ffir Win- ston would then be reduced to the post of Leader of the Opposition. He would no longer be the first citizen of the nation apart from the sovereign. His prestige, despite his impressive past, would be im- paired. A man can hang on to public service, or other fields of effort too long, and he suffers accordingly in the judgment of his history. This was the experience of the late David Lloyd George, Britain's chief pilot in the First World War, as Churchill was in the second conflict of this nature. As he persisted in public life, and experi- enced political reverse, the once great Lloyd George became a somewhat pathe- tic figure. So it would seem that if Sir Winston Churchill is to retire, now would appear the time to do it. Exports To UK. On Upgrade One of the healthy signs in the Cana- : dian economy for 1955 is the manner in which the United Kingdom is increasing its imports from Canada. Figures issued by the British Board of Trade indicate the extent of this growth. In the first two months of 1955, Britain bought more than $140.5 million worth of goods from Cana- da, as compared with $89.5 million in Jan- uary and February of 1954 and $95 mil- lion in the same period of 1953. Canadian exports of wheat, barley and other cereals accounted for a large part of this increase since the beginning of 1965. Total British imports of Canadian cereal grains and preparations jumped from 221 million in January and Febru- ary of 1954 to $41.3 million in the same period in 1955. But the increase was not confined to the field of wheat and other ce- reals. Other large increases were shown in non-ferrous base metals, such as alumi- num and aluminum alloys, copper and cop- per alloys, zinc and zinc alloys and lead and lead alloys. Exports of softwood, pa- per, tobacco and chemicals also showed substantial gains. Among the lesser cate- gories showing increases were cheese, fish and fish preparations, fruit and vege- tables and feeding stuffs for animals, This is an encouraging sign. Not only does it help to improve the total Canad- ian trade picture, but it is a reflection of the improved economic position. The old country is now in a osition to buy more goods from Canada, and the figures show her willingness to trade with this country to the limit of the dollar exchange at her disposal. This does give one a slight indi- cation of the extent to which Canada's exports to the United Kingdom could be stepped up if the pound sterling were made freely convertible with the Canad- ian dollar. It is not too much te expect that this is likely to happen in the not too distant future. Travel Safer In The Air The annual report of Trans Canada Air Lines. recording hundreds of thousands of miles flown during the past year, should make Canadians proud of the care which is taken in the operations of the line's air- craft across the length and breadth of the Dominion, into the United States and across the Atlantic to the British Isles and Europe. Aeronautical authorities for pride in the place which aviation is taking in the daily life of the nation, pro- viding as it does speedy, safe transporta- tion for business and pleasure.

Tankers turning back from Red China with their cargoes of jet fuel may put an impediment in the way of war.

But because he was not dead sure, the British decided to build their own H-bombs, believes The Daily Times-Gazette Published by TIMES-GAZETTE PUBLISHERS LIMITED 57 Simcoe Street South, The Daily Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) combining The Oshawa Times (established 1871) and the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle (established 1863) is published daily (Sundays and statutory holidays excepted), Members ot The Canadian Press, The Canadian Daily Newspapers Association and the Ontario Provincial Dailies Association and the Audit Bureau of Circulation The Canadian Press is exclusively entitled to the use for re- publication of all news despatches in the paper credited to it or to The Associated Press or Reuters, and also the local news published therein.

Let not your heart be troubled,--John 14:1, WE HARDLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPEC ARRIVAL o/ SPREE : FOR: RAIN - Ni N GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Are Parents Too Lenient For Good Of Teen - Agers By CANADIAN INSTITUTE + OF PUBLIC OPINION Note: This is the third in a se ries comparing Canadian and U.S attitudes on problems with teen- agers If the parents of both Canada and the U.S. were lined up behind the bar of public opinion, they would get a blast of criticism from the public in regard to teen-age behaviour, says the Gallup Poll. Whatever experts may have to say on the matter, the average man and woman puts the blame for teen-agers acting up, on the home, and parental discipline. In the current series of reports on attitudes towards today's teen- agers, many phases of parental supervision have been checked with the public, In both countries, trained interviewers, put this ques- tion to adults in all sections: "There's been a lot of discussion recently about our teen-agers get- ting out of hand. As you see it, what are the main reasons for their acting up?" In Canada and the U.S. the peo- ple gave these major indictments against parents 1. Parents are, in too many cases, inadequate and do not have proper home standards or home life. They are not strict enough, for one thing, and give youngsters too much freedom. 2. There's a lack of discipline and training in the home. Parents are too indulgent 3. There are too many outside interests for the parents, and they do not take enough interest in the home life of their teen-agers. 4. There are too many working mothers Interviewers then asked: "Well as you see it what do vou think is the best thing that could PARIS LETTER be done to cure these conditions among our teen-agers?' Again in both countries, sugges- tions fell into these top groups 1. There should be more disci. pline or training in the home. 2. Parents should show more in- terest in the teen-agers: 8. There should be more recrea- tional facilities for youngsters, more sports and group activities. Just how close points of view in Canada and U.S. are, on teen-age matters, is shown in the compari- son of attitudes on this question: "Do you think it is a good idea or a poor idea to hold parents re- sponsible for property damage that their children cause?" y % Can, 83% 12% 5% Good idea .. Poor Idea ..... No opiinon 4% 100% 100% In the matter of a curfew, too, citizens of both countries are in close agreement. Question put to the cross - section was this: "Do you think it would be a good idea or a poor idea to have a cur- few in this town for children un- der the age of 16-- that is, not allowing them on the street after, say 9 or 10 p.m. unless they are with their parents?" U.S. Can, 77% 78% 20% 18% 3% 4% Good idea Poor idea .. No opinion 100% 100% Some citizens believe that there is too much publicity given teen- age violence that part of the problem lies in the uncertainty caused by a fear of war: that parents expect too much of chil- dren, und that schools are Just as much to blame as the homes. World Copyright Reserved Friends Anxious Hear Of Canada By FRANCES KNECHT Specia' correspondent to The Times-Gazette Chronicle-Telegraph PARIS, France The sudden warm weather, with temperatures of 18 centigrade in the shade, tak- ing them completely by surprise, the cafe-owners hurriedly put out tables in front of the glass parti- tion which surrounds the usual tar- race during the winter. Not a seat was to be had on the sunny side of the Champs Elysees, so what with cars driving down the pave- ment to park, tables sprawled everywhere, coupled with window- gazers, it was a tricky business getting along. Finally I arrived at Claridge's Hotel, where 1 had promised to look up a Melton boy who, learn- ing the hotel business from the bottom up, is working as a waiter. Before I go any further, I strongly advise anyone never to try seeing a member of the staff of one of the nigger Paris hotels. One can walk into Claridge's as easily as me can walk into a railway sta- tion. No one asks you anything. The enormous luxury lounges, cor- ridors and powder rooms are all yours. The uniformed staff greets you smilingly, and all are your slaves at a mere lift of your fing- er. Strange men with swarthy al- lure invite you temptingly into the tea-dance. HOPELESS GUEST Yet the moment you ask timidly to see personally a mere waiter, everything changes. The hall por- ter, apparently not believing his ears, barked at me to ask the con- cierge. The concierge, regard- Ing me with evident suspicion re- ferred me to the reception clerk This man, not so much as looking up from what he was doing sent me to the head waiter. Not finding the head waiter, who was off duty as it was five o'clock, I saw a "rank and file" waiter, who al- most rudely told me to go to the staff entrance. They just as one would not collaborate. Now, the staff entrance least a mile away in a back street. Finally, having gone the length of this street without spot- ting It, with my feet now feeling the worse for wear I decided to give up, and dropped into the "Marquise de Sevigne" for a cup of tea, thinking that after all I would write the boy instead. FEELING ABOUT CANADA In this smart tea salon, I manag- ed to get a table near the window. I had hardly sat down when two friends joined me, resplendent in their new spring hats. As I had been out of circulation for some time, they were very anxious to hear all about Canada. Needless to say I immediately sang the praises of that wonderful and hospitable country, so do not be surprised if your tourist trade increases as a result. In turn, they explained why "everyone" seemed to be at the "Marquise", It is the vogue for the moment, and has become the ren- dezvous for smart Parisians at tea time. Not so long ago the tea lounge at the Ritz was the place. JULES VERNE RECALLED It is just 50 years ago since the death of Jules Verne, who in his famous books predicted many of the inventions which strangely enough began to take shape from that time. Just one of his ideas has not been achieved, that is, the storing-up of excess summer heat for release in the winter, Once ac- complished, this invention would certainly be the answer for those people prejudiced to central heat- ing, who prefer to suffer the cold rather than have it.

There wasn't any surprise when the premier didn't announce dis- solution at the end of the session. While this appeared likely back in the early days, it was fairly evi- dent towards 'the close that the call would be postponed, Instead of the acrimony of the early stages, a spirit of peace and good will had taken over thé house and it wasn't indicative of an election atmosphere. The latest gossip is that the mid- June date is still set and that the election will be called after the federal - provincial conference. Either late this month or early in May. If this is true two logical occa- sions for the announcement would be the annual meeting of the West- ern Ontario Conservative Associa- tion in London, April 30, or on May 2, when Col. T. L. Kennedy is having his nomination meeting in Peel County. (Yes, Old Man Ontario is going to run again.) FALL ADVANTAGES There has been some speculation here that Mr. Frost now might wait until fall to call the vote. There would be advantages to this One of them would be that the highways matter would well a dead duck by is or early summer it life in it particularly the "white wash" angle; but after several months, unless the opposition could some- how keep it alive, and it is improb- able they could do so, it would have lost most of its pep.

LIVING WITH PEACE OF MIN By KIRBY PAGE Seldom has the grace of grati- tude been more vividly illustrated than in the spirit of Albert Schweit- er, who has spent much of his life in fighting against disease and death, fighting pests and wild animals, fighting against supersti- tion and indolence; fighting against sheer weariness of body and mind. His very being is a constant expression of apprecia- tiveness. His decision to go as a medical missionary to the tropics of Africa was made in spite of protests from friends that he was simply throwing himself away. The best comment on all this is found on the closing page of a book written by Dr. Schweiter in 1927, 14 years after he first landed at Lambarene, as he was depart- ing on a furlough: "The boat push- es slowly out of the hay in bright sunshine . . . I gaze at the dis- appearing coast hardly able to realize that I am no longer in the hospital. All the needs and all the work of the past years sweep through my memory.

Jim Mackey, who returned home after working at the Sondestrom base, says the men are careful not to hurt the animals, Injuring a fox in Greenland could mean a $500 fine under Danish law. Mackey says traps are made with the large Jackers used by the men. The lockers "are placed at an angle with a stick under one end. Foxes are lured under the lockers by pieces of meat and the stick removed by pulling a string. The game is to catch an animal as a locker is lifted, grab it round the neck and hold on until it is subdued. Then it is turned loose.
