§ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, May 5 WH Editorials The Dally TimesGiasts, (Oshawa, Whitby) published Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, by Times-Gasette Publishers Limited Ontario. Salvation Army Campaign = LJ Merits Generous Support Today the Oshawa 'corps.of the Sal- vation Army, with the assistance of a large number of enthusiastic volunteer workers and canvassers, started off on a campaign to raise $85,000 to provide for the extension of its local headquarters. We doubt if there is any organization which can command a greater measure of public support for its work than the Sal- vation Army. This is because of its very nature. It is nk by everyone as an or- ganization which devotes itself to the sav- ing of people, not only in a spiritual sense, but in a moral, physical and material sense sense as well. - The Salvation Army has progressed far since it started with little groups of peo- ple meeting under the leadership of its founder, the late General William Booth. It has become one of the world's great- est religious and social service forces. It goes down into the dark places and by- ways of life and liftgpeople up to th clear light of God's wir can be too degraded, far lost, to be as- sunshine, No one sisted by the helping hand held out by the Army. The Oshawa Corps of the Salvation Army has a long and honored history. It has been a great force for good in the city because of the nature of its ministry to those who needed it most. It las been much more than merely another religious denomination. It has become an active and vital force in social welfare, caring for those in need and distress, those whose sins have plunged into the depths of hum- an suffering. This community is much the better for the kindly ministrations of the successive officers and members of what became in wartime, affectionately known as "The Sally Ann". We believe there is a need for the Sal- vation Army in Oshawa. We believe the extension of its headquarters is vital to its continued ministry. We believe its cam- paign for funds towards that end merits the generous support.of all our citizens, whether the amount they can give be large or small. Contest Of Educational Value On Saturday evening last, a noteworthy public speaking contest was held in Osh- awa. For the first time, this city acted as host to the national contests. in public speaking sponsored by the Lions' Clubs of Canada. Contestants came from two of the provinces to take part. There were five French-Canadians from Quebec pro- vince, speaking in thei own language. And there were 16 competitors in the English language finals. The calibre of all the speakers in the contest was outstanding. Taking a wide range of subjects, the contestants show- ed remarkable ability to marshall their thoughts and ideas and express them flu- ently and forcefully. They»showed ability in oratory which might well be envied by many of the men in the public life of Can- ada today. The contest was an object les- son to all whe heard it in the use of the two languages which are official in Can- ada. The Lions Clubs of Canada, and'that of Oshawa in particular, are to be congra- tulated on conducting a contest of this kind on a national scale. In all, hundreds of school pupils took part in the various elimination events held in Ontario and Quebec before competition-was narrowed down to the district finals. The educational value of a contest such as was completed here on Saturday night cannot be over-estimated. Its educational value lies not alone in the ability to speak well. The work of research and prepara- tion, the digging for information, the marshalling of ideas into an orderly and connected form, all tend to play an im- portant part in fitting the young people involved for their future careers, The ab- ility to speak clearly, concisely, and in such a manner as to appeal to audiences is all too common today. Quite possibly the standards of our ~fublic speaking among men j i i muah higher in future Notable Diplomatic S A United States shift in position rela- tive to direct talks with Communist China bringing possibilities of a cease-fire in the Formosa strait. -- of the. release of American fliers, and the settlement of other matters of direct concern to the two Governments, presages a notable step in post-war history. The new position revises the rigid stand taken by the U.S. formerly and appears much more acceptable to Britain and the other allies. It is true that Communist China still gts on its right to Formosa, and the THE CHASE Pawprints will be hard to follow Where the cottontail ran But we know this moss-green hollow And I think we can. But even if we miss his going Nor mark his first quick turn that island, but Communist China does not say if it will actually take steps to capture the island. It is conceivable that it may be only a formal claim in order to save face, and will not form a barrier to a cease-fire which might last indefinitely. It is almost certain that a cease-fire would require Nationalist withdrawal from Quemoy and Matsu and whether the U.S. could persuade Chiang Kai-shek to take that step is extremely doubtful. How- ever, the fact that these talks are now possible is a bright spot in a drab situa- tion and holds out, at least, some possi- bility of peace in a troubled world.

One describe cellent", But, while expressing this high degree of satisfaction with inter- national rapport, few Canadians believe there are no causes of friction between the two coun- tries. As part of a broad study into the attitude of Canadians towards Canada--U.S. affairs, The Institute put this first question to a care fully designed cross-section of vot- ers, from Newfoundland to British Columbia: "Would You Say That Relations Between Canada and United States today are, on the Whole, Excellent, Good Just Fair, or Poor?"

But our Pacific coast lotusland had an entirely new name, which I had, never seen before. In the English language, we all know it as "Briiisk Columbia." In the province of Quebec, I have never seen or heard it referred to in the French language as anything ex cept 'La Colombia Canadienne." But at this Dominion provincial conference, it blossomed forth under a name which would please the many British Columbians who resent the Quebec mistranslation. It was called "Colombie Britan nique." everberations of the resignation from the CCF of Ross Thatcher are still being heard around Ot tawa and are likely to continue for a long time, Guélph's Henry Hosking, the Lib eral member for the Onatrio riding of Wellington South, gave me an interesting thought. "Thatcher always cost me at least 250 votes in every election," sa'd Henry. "Many people in my riding vote socialist; I estimate that at least 250 of these did so only because of Thatcher's pres- ence in that party. They felt that he gave it some realism and stab my Henry and I were talking at one last year when it voted all MPs a t the here; suffice it to say that in adian journalistic circles there is us from putting into print words or events obviously not intended for the record. We do sell our friends down the river for a sensa- tional headline. Ross Thatcher was very hurt shat just this was done to him; now it has been repeated. For my part, I give him a meas- ure of credit for opposing, mot the needed raise in MPs' emoluments, but the manner in which it was done: immediately after an elec- tion at which candidates had of- fered themselves for the job at the lower rate of pay. : Time Magazine added injury to insult by publishing a picture of Thatcher showing an expression which 1 for one had never sgen before. He is a jovial, smiling fel- low always 'and under all éircum stances--except when one of his precious Hereford cattle wanders into the limbo from his apparently unfenced farm. But Time Maga- ine evidently caught his expres- sion at the exact moment when he was the victim of a shrewd and sure kick in the pants--hardly typical and certainly not approp- riate for she moment of his resig- nation, when he was doing the kicking.
