THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Tuesday, February 28, 1956 Progress Edition Tribute To Oshawa's Advancement Today, The Times-Gazette publishes its annual Progress Edition. This edi- tion is dedicated to portraying in pict- ures, in stories and in advertisements, the progress which Oshawa has made during, not only the past year, but down through its history. The city's advancement is set forth in the growth and development of its industrial, com- mercial and business establishments, which have all contributed to the for- ward march of this city. This year, however, the Progress Edition steps beyond the boundaries of Oshawa, and covers the large market area of which Oshawa is the strategie centre, In recent years, development has spread far beyond the limits of Oshawa. In spite of the annexation of 1951, industries and residential areas are filling up sections not yet in the city. Towns such as Whitby and Ajax are showing remarkable vitality and growth and because of modern means of transportation and communication, are well within the city's trading area. Included in it also are the rich farming sections of Ontario and Durham coun- ties which are within easy reach of Oshawa. A perusal of this issue of The Times- Gazette provides ample food for op- timism regarding the future of Osh- awa and the surrounding community. The possibilities of this area in the years that lie ahead, are limited only by the vision and the courage of the people who live in it. Enthusiasm and optimism are essential factors in building for future prosperity. In the long term picture for Oshawa and its environs, there is abundant scope for these two characteristics. We can look to this progressive district to contin- ue the splendid progress which has marked it in recent years, and has set a pattern for the years to come. Regional Planning Board Coming The decision of Oshawa and the surrounding municipalities to meet in Oshawa on March 15 to organize a regional planning board is a great forward step for this district. It will be the first regional planning board to be organized in Ontario. The plan has not been developed without much study and thought. It has been fully discussed with officials of the Ontario department of planning and develop- ment. It has their full support. Included in the regional planning board will be the municipalities of Oshawa, Whitby, Darlington, Bowman- ville, East Whitby and Port Perry. These are districts in which there are great prospects for development in the next 10 to 20 years. It is therefore very necessary that a general plan, eovering all of them, can be developed, so that the expansion which is bound to take place can be conducted in an orderly fashion. There are many problems, as Mayor Naylor has pointed out, which can be dealt with by a regional planning board. One of the most urgent is that of water supply and sewers for newly developing territories just outside the boundaries of Oshawa. There is also an urgent need for the city of Oshawa and the adjacent municipalities to co- ordinate their street and road systems through new sub-divisions, not only in the city, but in the area immedia- tely outside its limits. Proper planning of these matters, on a regional basis, can bring far-reaching benefits to all the municipalities involved. The regional planning board, like that of the city of Oshawa, will, of course, be only an advisory body. It will submit recommendations to the various councils concerned, but will have no powers of action. But even as an advisory body, it can render a great deal of assistance to the municipalities which have had the foresight to join in the project. If Only We Could Trust Them The 20th Communist Party at Con- gress has ended. The great Moscow meeting closed with a declaration of Russia's great desire for peace with the world. This seemed somewhat at variance with the former declarations which indicated no abatement of Rus- sia's desire to achieve world domina- tion. But it does fit in with the Com- munist theory that by peaceful .infil- tration and working their way into the governments of other nations, they can achieve their goal. So long as that goal remains, it is not to be wondered at that the rest of the world dare not trust the intentions of Russia. In his statement to the Congress, Premier Bulganin said there was now a realistic prospect for achieving world peace, and promised to explore new avenues of international co-operation. He went on to say: -- "We will continue to work for better relations with the United States, Brit- ain, France and other countries.

Once more, in grandiose words, the Russian premier has enunciated a de- sire for peace and co-operation with the western world. But his ideas of what is necessary to promote that co-opera- tion are quite different from those of the western powers. Russia's idea of co- operation is that everything it pro- poses must be accepted by the other side, and that nothing proposed by the western nations could possibly be ac- cepted by Russia. The Communists want co-operation to be a one-way street, by which they can work their way into life of the democracies by infiltration. That makes talk of peace somewhat ironical, and certainly leaves plenty of doubt as to whether the Rus- sians can yet be trusted to mean what they say.

QUEEN'S PARK Junior Farmers' Loans Work By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO-~They had a discus- slon of junior farm loans at the agriculture committee the other morning. Both Conservative and Liberal members criticized the present lending policies of the junior farm loans board. James Fraser, the commissioner of loans who is a veteran (and cocky) civil servant, defended the administration, He answered many of the criti- cisms, but still left the impression that perhaps the outlook on ad- ministration of the act could be improved. The gist of the complained members was that the present ad- ministration wae toa stiff There is' one instance, that ap- praisals of farms for loans cannot be made when Ray Connell, PC from Wentworth, pointed out that if an applicant only wanted a rela- tively small loan, say $5,000 on a $40,000 property, there should be no reason why he couldn't get the loan in winter. There could be sufficient valuation to cover this size of a loan. Gordon "Sparky" Innes of Ox- ford agreed, and pointed out that crop agreements for tomatoes etc. Well often were made months ahead and if a farmer could get a loan in winter he would be able to take on a contract. MOANED LOW Mr. Fraser tended to play a rec- ord o doom: He said that loans were already $25,000 in arrears. And he claimed that the province had granted sixty three per cent of applications whereas the federal government in its loan program had granted twenty per cent less. When under questioning it was brought out, however, that only 60 of more than 1500 loans were in arrears and that more than ten million had been loanded his argu- ments lost their persuasion with the committee. The upshot of the whole debate would seem to be that the admin- istration of loans is functioning well and "properly." e question is, however, whether the "propriety" is within the intent of the legislature when it approved the program in 1952. This intent primarly was to help young farmers get established; to lend a hand beyond and above what could be expected of private fi- nancing. And the outlook of the board would seem to be rather more akin to what would be expected of pri- vate finance than of a public lend- ing body. FOR BETTER HEALTH Exercise, Heat, Rest Help To Cure Bursitis By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD YOU "do it yourself" fans had better take it easy. While you might save on a car- pentry or painting bill, too much effort by unconditioned muscles can lead to a painful bout with bursitis, The bursas are your body's bearings and are scattered through- out different layers of tendons and muscles. They are collapsed ball- oon-like affairs with slick inner surfaces and generally are present wherever one muscle rubs another or touches a sharp edge of a bone. When a bursa becomes irritated, the well-lubricated inner surfaces become harsh and rough, produc- ing a painful grating with every movement. By slowly exercising the muscles you plan to use, such as your arm and wrist muscles, for some time before you actually begin your chores, you may prevent a siege of bursitis. Once you're hit, there are num- erous things you and your doctor can do to ease the pain and get the bursa back In working order. Light X-ray treatment will do a good job in most Instances. Many mild cases are aided by infrared or heat lamps. Very shortwaved dia- thermy machines are also a great ald and some doctors report suc- cess with ultra-short sound wave machines. Many doctors, however, still prefer contrast baths for curing bursitis. In these baths, you soak the affected area for four minutes in hot water, then one minute in cold water, and then back to hot water for another four minutes. ] you oan do this several times ust as long as you start and end with the hot water, BED REST IS HELPFUL Bed rest and certain drugs also play an important part in treat- b ing bursitis. Since movement of the affected bursa naturally pro- duces pain, the best thing to do is to keep it still. Aspirin h as always been help- ful; it still is. And some doctors recommend butazolidine, a new drug used in treating gout. Cortisone and ACTH are report- ed useful in controlling bursitis In the vast majority of cases until they heal by themselves. Files Writ For The Return 01 $1,500 Bet Plus Interest ROUYN, Que. (CP)--A Rouyn lawyer, who earlier this month The lawyer now says the shares did not reach $3 and Mr. Charles- bois should be declared guilty of put up $1,500 to a mining company director in a bet, has filed a writ suing the director for return of his money plus interest. Romanus J. Curran made a bet with Clarence Charleshois, a direc- tor of the Duvan Copper Company, that Duvan shares would not trade on the stock exchange at $3 within 10 days. Each placed bet contribu- tions of $500 and $1,000 with a neutral party Feb. 9 and 10. Mr. Curran said Mr. Charlesbois returned from a Florida vacation Feb. 23 and announced publicly in a Rouyn broker's office he had won the bet since Duvan shares had traded on the Montreal ex- change Feb. 17 for $3. fraud and made to return the $1,500 pe plus interest. ISTACHED $2.95 Newspaper reports for Feb. 17 showed the Duvan shares reached a high of $2.95 on both the Mon- treal and Toronto exchanges. When the bets were made the Duvan shares, quoted slightly above $2, were booming because of a reported rich copper-ore find on company property near La Sarre. The law allows a person to re- gain a bet contribution if he is proved the winner in court but does not provide for the amount won to be handed over. MAC'S MUSINGS We feel quite sure that Many hearts in Oshawa Were touched by the story Of little Gene Tilbury Who lies in a hospital In Toronto gamely fighting His way back to health After having his neck broken By falling on the ice On a slippery street. The story of the kindness Of the hospital orderly Who befrinded him And helped him along The road to recovery By his constant attention Is one which should Strike a responsive chord In the heart's of many Of Oshawa"s citizens. We can appreciate how Much it will cost the Parents of this boy for Medical and hospital Expenses for the lengthly Period recovery will take, And we know too, that There are many in Oshawa Whose hearts will be touched And who would appreciate The joy of helping them 10 meet these expenses, Oshawa has always been Noted for the generosity Of its citizens when a Real need presents itself, And we suggest that This is a case in which Such generous help Seems to be a necessity. So we do not hesitate To suggest that perhaps Some local group might Take the initiative Towards raising a fund To relieve the burdens Of Gene Tilbury's parents.

Marcial Merino, who led a jungle revolt centred at Iquitos in remote northeastern Peru, surren- dered Friday night. MAC'S MEDITATIONS Libraries Sent To Remote Areas By M. McINTYRE HOOD We do not believe there is any community of its size in Canada that is so well equipped with li- brary facilities as the city of Osh- awa. The magnificent McLaugh- lin Library is a model of its t not only architecturally, but also from the facilities it offers to the reading public, from the stand- point of its collection of books and periodicals, and the varied serv- ives it renders to the public. The citizens of Oshawa are deed fortunate in the great storehouse of the world's literature that is placed a: their disposal through the library. And it is very gratify- ing to learn, from the monthly re- worts of the Library Board, that the library is now being used by more people, both adults and children than ever before. TRAVELLING LIBRARIES There are many communities in Ontario which are not as for- tunate as Oshawa, in that they have no local library at all. This is especially true of isolated rural communities, where there is no central town or village in which to place a library building to serve the needs of the people of 5 T.es Branch the Travelling Libraries of the Ontario Department of Education.

Soviet Praesidium Re-Elect Same Committee Of Eleven MOSCOW (AP) -- The central committee of the Soviet Commu- nist party yesterday re-elected the 11 members of its ruling Praesid- ium. Nikita S. Khrushchev re- mains first secretary. Defence Minister Georgl Zhu kov, Second World War hero, be- came a candidate (alternate) mem- ber of the ruling body, which was known in Stalin's day as the Polit- uro. Thus the so-called collective leadership of the Soviet Union re- mained unchanged at the close of the 20th congress of the Soviet Communist party. As first secre- tary, Khrushchev remains boss of the party, a position he assumed in 1953 when Georgi Malenkov re- linquished the job. The first sec- retary is in a position to control the vast party apparatus through- out the country. The party elected six candidate (alternate) members of the Praes- idium, an increase of four over the previous party praesidium, Among them was the first woman ever to serve on the ruling party body. A party secretariat of eight members, headed by Khrushchev, he confessed failure at the job and now a deputy premier, minister of electric power stations and a Su- preme Soviet deputy. His ministry came under fire at the recent party congress. CONFESSED ERROR A. I. Mikoyan, a first deputy premier, Supreme Soviet deputy and foreign trade expert. V. N.

These figures suggest that, if the growth of our population follows the pattern of the past twenty years, bitths rather than immigra- tion will take us to the Austin target. The workers of General Motor- opolis would do better to make baby buggies than Daddy-Caddles. From the beginning of 1 up to the end of 1954, our population grew by 4,049,000 persons.

It should not be diffi- cult to attract that number of im- migrants--it is less than half of that pre-World War 1 wave of the men in sheepskin coats. And it should not be difficult to make this land of opportunity appear attrac- tive enough to keep those immi- grants here, rather than see them treat Canada as a way-stop on their journey to the green - back pastures to our south. Canada today rates as the 27th largest country in the world, on the basis of population. An in- crease to 25,000,000 would put us in 17th place. Then we would number just one per cent of the world's population, with an area equiva- jeut to 8 per cent of all the world's and. To preserve the attraction of this land of opportunity, Bill Austin has a formula too.
