THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, 3 Page 6 Thursday, October 20, 1955 President Eisenhower Puts Next Move up to Bulganin The first pronouncement to come from President Eisenhower from his hospital bed in Denver, Colorado, is a momentous one. It was in the form of a letter to Premier Bulganin of Russia, and it has the effect of putting the next move in the effort to halt the cold war strictly up to the Russian prime minis- ter. And if Bulganin makes the right move, there may be an agreement be- tween Russia and the United States on a system of inspection of their militany establishments. This stems from the July conference of heads of the big four powers at Ge- neva. At that conference, Eisenhower placed on the table a proposal for an exchange of military blueprints, and an agreement permitting aerial recon- naise and photgraphy by the planes of each country over the other's terri- tory. In rpely, Premier Bulganin did not reject these proposals. Nor did he accept them. He proposed there should be mutual ground inspection at key mil- itary inspection points. If Bulganin was trying to bluff in making his proposals, his bluff has been called. Eisenhower's letter says he is willing to accept the Russian proposals if the Russians will accept his. That is a direct challenge to the Soviet leaders to prove how sincere they are in their claims they wish to end the cold war. Whether the systems proposed will work satisfactorily is something that only time and experience would prove. It is eartainly revolutiohary that U.S. planes should be allowed to make recon- naisance and photography flights over Russia and vice versa. A year or two ago the idea would have been consider- ed unthinkable by both countries. The same would apply to the Russian pro- posal for ground inspection at key mili- tary points. Yet here we have the presi- dent of the United States agreeing to accept both if Russia will do likewise and the Russian premier agreeing 'to go at least halfway. This. of course, has nothing to do with disarmament. But if the United States and Russia can agree on this, there should not be too much difficulty in eventually agreeing on that as well. British Army Being Reduced Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden has announced that Britain, within the next two years will rdeuce her armed forces by 100,000 men. This will be done by reducing the number of youths being drafted into the armed forces, and by raising the draft age, which is now 18 years. The period of national service will remain as it is at present-- two years. There are various reasons for this decision to reduce the intake into the forces. It is not being done be- ca of any belief that the change in the Russian attitude to world affairs has lessened the need for defence for- ees. Nor is there any attempt to match Snontionately. the army. reduction of 650, men recently announced by the Soviet Union. What has happened, actually, is that Eden has bowed to a great wave of pub- lic opinion against the number of young men being drafted into the arm- ed forces at a time when the country's labor force is insufficient to meet the demands of industry. We have noted this rising tide of public opinion in Brit- ish newspapers in 'recent months. Eden has not gone nearly as far as some Brit- ishers would have liked, but the intake will be reduced by 30,000 in the next six months, and 40,000 in each of the succeeding two years, Financial considerations have also entered into the decision, and the hid- den hand of R. A. Butler, chancellor of the exchequer, is to be seen behind it. Doubtless he has been able to persuade his fellow-members of the cabinet that this was one direction in which national expenditures could be reduced without endangering the country's safety. But. in no sense.can.the decision. to reduce the armed forces be considered as being taken as a measure of disar- mament. It is, however, in keeping with the trend which has seen the Uni- ted States, Soviet Russia and some of the latter's satellite countries also re- duce the number of men under arms. Setting The Record Straight Canadian ambassador to the United States, A. D. P. Heeney acted promptly and in a forthright manner in putting the record straight in connection with a gross mis-statement made by former President Harry Truman in his pub- lished memoirs. In one of the instal- ments, published in the New York Times, Mr. Truman referred to one of the countries whose soldiers were equipped by lend-lease aid from the United States. As every Canadian should know and be proud 'of, this statement was quite untrue. Ambassador did not hesitate to say so in a letter to the editor of the Times. He pointed out that during the war, under their Hyde Park agreement, Canada and the United States exchan- ged impressive quantities of military equipment--but always for cash. In fact, Canada overpaid the United States by $3,675,000 on this account, which was repaid in 1949.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JULY 12,328 Also to put the record straight, Mr. Heeney in his letter said:-- "1 think it would be fair to remind your readers that even before Congress approv- ed lend-lease, Canada had made a billion. dollar contribution to Great Britain for war materials and food. This was followed by further goods and services to our fighting allies to the value of $2,200,000,000. You call- ed your program Lend-Lease; we called ours mutual aid." Canadians should be grateful to Mr. Truman for his erroneous statement. It gave Mr. Heeney to place on the record the facts as to Canada's part in supply- ing her allies with the sinews of war, a part far beyond what might have been expected of a country with so small a population. During our travels overseas in recent years, we found the people of Britain quite ignorant of these huge mutual aid gifts by Canada to their government. We have also found many Canadians unaware of this phase of Canada's war effort. The "faux pas" by Mr. Truman has provid- ed an opportunity to enlighten them. Other Editors' Views VITAL ROLE OF THE OPPOSITION (Red Deer, Alta., Advocate) The opposition has a vital role to carry out in a democracy. Too many people fail to real- ize tne vital place the Opposition occupies in the British parliamentary system and how much the country loses when the opposition is unable to function owing to lack of power, lack of numbers, or both. FARMING 18 STILL HAZARDOUS (Financial Post, Toronto) So far as economists are concerned farming is still a hazardous occupation and is going to remain so. Under normal marketing conditions the fat years compensate for the lean ones. Un- fortunately with the abnormal marketing sys- tem we have estabilshed with gain in Canada there is little chance of any such balancing. The price remains the same regardless of pro- duction and widely fluctuating costs. In the old days of a free market a big crop meant pros- perity. Now it is a headache. Bible Thoughts .

MCINTYRE HOOD The 42nd annual International Plo Match, a great event spon- y the Ontario Plowmen's in Es- match is the big- gest annual event of its kind held anywhere in the world. To it every where the year come top ranking plowmen held, but it from most of the Canadian prov- place in the inces and the United States, and modation for around 1000 guests. the tractors 1 today a hold the place And 'then, as the grand finale, there is the banguet on. closing on some occasions the United King- dom and other European countries are also represented. The rewards for plowmen winning the main events are fabulous, and include a free trip to Britain for the world championship plowing events for those who come first and second in the contest for the Canadian championship. . We introduce this event into our I today b in October of next year, the 43rd International Plowing Match will he held at Brooklin, in Ontario County, only a few miles from Oshawa. Dur- ing the years we spent on the staff or the Ontario Department of Ar riculture, we were always closely associated with this annual event, and for us it was one of the big features of the year. We can also recall the lowing match held at Woodstock in 1921, when we were on the staff of the Woodstock Sentinel - Review when the match was only a shad- ow of the great event it is today. Thus we have some idea and ap- preciation of what it will mean to this district when it is held at Brooklin a year hence. FANTASTIC CROWDS It is a matter for amazement to see the huge crowds which attend the International Plowing Match. In recent years, the number at- tending during its four-day period has ranged from 80,000 to 150,000. Nowadays it is considered a small attendance if it fails to exceed 100,000. So we can look for at least that b i to Brooklin, QUEEN'S PARK Handsome Is As Handsome Does , By DON O'STEARN Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette TORONTO--This is a tale of two city guys. Willie, as I shall call him, is a "smart" operator. Willie started his way around. Some years ago Willie started selling corned beef sandwiches in a hole-in-the-wall downtown. To lp pay for th 1 PREY fo e mustard he also - . His sandwiches were good and his chatter fast and Willie prospered. Soon he was able to drop the book- making and eventually he grew to be a "figure." THE HIERARCHY Willie's set is composed of self- made men. But even so it has its nobility. And it is a nobility which also is self-made. It is a nobility in which the key and the symbol both are one. pinch-top hat, a pinch-back coat, and manicures -- at least two a week. Next symbol is an apartment house. The apartment-housers look down on the Cadillacers as a lord looking down on, a baronet--or a pickpocket on a panhandler And fially; at the top rank there is a bar. In the order of precedence it ranks with the Order-Of-The- Garter, A bar owner recognizes equality only with fellow owners and the Liquor Licence Board. CHAMELEON BUILDING Willie has booted himself to the top rank very quickly--if myster- iously. He reached lower orders some 'time ago. But only last year did he take the second step by starting to build an apartment house. Then, however, his rise was hurried. In its early days Willie's estab- lishment-to-be was advertised in a big sign on its girders as an apart- ment house, Now, however, the structure is nearly completed and it is to be a "hotel." There has been no formal explanation why the change, but word has gone out that Willie has made the top rung-- he is to have a bar. Of course the liquor board grants licences freely to "hotels" and doesn't rec- ognize apartment houses. DIFFERENT CASE 3 Emil is a musician. He is a famous one, Not jive but "good" music. If you saw his right name you would recognize it immed- lately. il Emil, as do a lot of musicians, likes to make people happy. He likes to have light-hearted peopie tem, around him. He likes being a host. He likes to help young musicians, and always has. Some time ago, tying all these together, he did over his large cellar as a restaurant and concert room. At night there was music, good music though often by unknowns, and good food -- some people thought it wonderful food. And there also was coffee, lots of it-- 1 that much of his clientele could But liquor licence Emil didn't make out so good. Business and politics to Emil's set are a mystery. He didn't know where to go in the first instance to find out about liquor licences except to the liquor board (a shock- ing thought to Willie's set). And the board wasnt encourag- ing. Some kindly person there did suggest, off the record, he might use banquet permits a few nights a week, and these were granted to him two nights a week for a while. They they were cut down to one. And when last heard he had been closed down entirely. FAR ENOUGH? - Now the liquor system as Mr, Frost says, and obviously believes. may be all right, But it would seem it Is only all right as far as it goes. It takes care of Willie and his clientele, and probably handles them as well as could be tion of the community which is be- expected. But there is a large sec- ing overlooked. This is the section of the public which alcoholically Comprises ar pers' rather than "swillers." (Wil- lie and his group are out to sell one thing: boose. And sell as much the gay. atmosphere of abarand as quickly as possible.) And it is the section of the com- munity which" would like to look forward to some other entertain- ment than slowly (or rapidly) get- ting drunk when it goes into a bar. (Willie may have "entertainment" in his bar but almost certainly it will be one of two things: A TV set "Fights Tohite--The Biggest Screen In Town"), or Yankee Sam's Quintet, . . 'Straight from New York" (where they 'were asked to leaveibecause of the anti- noise ordinance.)) Willie wouldn't agree, Mr. Frost apparently doesn't agree, Judge Robb doesn't agree, but certain people can't be blamed for think- ing there could be and should be, improvements in our liquor sys- hen it came to getting a 1] MAC'S MUSINGS Sir Winston Churchill Said something very true Recently when he declared That any improvement That has come into International affairs Has been due to the Unity of the western world In maintaining a strong, Bold and united front. This applies particularly To the English speaking Nations of the world, Which for some decades Have shown their willingness To sacrifice much in The interests of world Unity and peace. While much has already Been achieved toward That ultimate goal, it Has not yet been attained, And in order to reach it suit to netrhte Their willingness to sacrifice. It is obvious today that Leadership of the western World has fallen on The broad shoulders of English-speaking nations, Like the United Kingdom, United States and Canada, And it is urgent that These present a united Front to the world to Reach their ultimate goal.

FOR BETTER HEALTH Cataract May Not Cause Permanent Eye Injury Even though you don't know it, you may have a cataract right new. Butt, don't get excited; this is a fairly common eye affliction and occurs, in some degree, to almost all of us as we grow older. Despite the general belief, a ca- taract doesn't mean certain blind- ness. Usually, it brings dimness of sight in varying degrees rather than total blindness. * In fact, one kind of cataract may be present at birth. It is apt to interfere very little with your vision, since it generally remains stationay. rven when a cataract does ham- per vision to a great degree, an operation promises almost certain improvement. Surgical removal of a cataract restores vision in from 85 to 90 per cent of the patients. A cataract is simply a trans- parent clouding of the eye's lens or of the capsule enclosing the lens. While it may obstruct vision, it doesn't destroy it. There are many more dangerous eye afflic- tions believe me. Senile cataract probably is the most common type, varying great- ly i= its development. Some catar- acts are caused by eye injuri We believe that sudden exces- sive light or prolonged due to uncorrected visual errors might also cause the condition. In removing a cataract, a sur- geon removes the eye's lens. This means you'll have to wear special glasses from then on to make up for the lens your eye lacks. IMAGES SEEM LARGER You'll find that images seen through an aphakic lens are much larger than those you have been used to seeing. You'll also note that only the center of the lens gives perfect vision and that every- thing has a bluish tint. Also, your field of vision is restricted some- what. As the eye's refractive s changes, you'll'need different glas- ses. A new type of cataract service is now available which will rmit Rio to Test a series of enses used as you progress from one type to another. Usually it will take about six weeks after the operation before your eye is stablized and you have bacome adjusted to the new type ens.

THREE YEARS PREPARATION Long preparation goes into the holding of the International Plow- ing Match. The location for each year is usually selected three years in advance. That is necessary so that crop rotations can be organiz- ed by the farmers whose land is being used to provide sufficient acreage for both sod and stubble plowing, with hilly land for con- tour plowing. Next year's match at Brooklin will be centred on the farm of Heber Down, on Highway No. 7, where the headquarters, the tented city and the parking area for th ds of cars will be of a silver spire rising three feet from a heavy base. At the top is the offi- cial emblem of the UN and at the sides the crests of the 1st Com- monwealth Division, the 25th Cana- dian Infantry Brigade and the Re- public of Korea Forces.
