THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, May 1, 1956 World Council of Churches Urges Peace A special Whitsuntide message is- sued by the presidents of the World Council of Churches, lays stress upon the need of utilizing the forces of re- ligion to promote peace between the nations of the world. It declares that today is pre-eminently the time when the churches should speak forcefully to the nations .The message which they have for the nations is this: "First of all, we believe that the Church- es, acknowledging the need of Christians themselves to repent, should say to the na- tions, 'Repent. Your conflicts must be re- "solved by reason, not by violence. Violence has now reached such a pitch that when once unloosed it is beyond human control, and unless wars can be made to cease all pations will perish.' "Next, we believe the churches should Upon Nations say to the nations that it is neither by words of anger, nor by insistence on rights, that settlements can be achieved, but by the spreading of justice, by combining to meet one another's needs and by relying for our salvation on the grace and mercy of God. "Thirdly, and lastly, we believe that the churches should remind the nations, with a passion greater than ever belore, that the whole world cries out for peace, that they are all members of one family, and that the God and Father of Jesus Christ is the Father of all." There is a great challenge to the churches of the world in that state- ment. It remains to be seen whether they can measure up to that challenge, and make their influence felt with suf- ficient impact to produce the peaceful world for which all humanity is crying out today. Ike Believes In Advertising President Dwight D. Eisenhower, said the other day in Washington, that a dollar spent in advertising to explain the success of the United States is worth $5 laid out on armaments. The president was bringing greet- ings to the National Advertising Coun- cil of the United States, when he made his observation. He praised the adver- tising council for creating campaigns to inform foreign nations of the Unit- ed States way of life. He then made a strong plea for support for foreign aid. "The United States cannot live alone ----a paragon of prosperity -- with all the rest of the world sinking lower and lower in its standard of living," sident told the advertising men. the pr President Eisenhower's appreciation of the value of advertising is some- thing that is well known. The United States has always been famous for its extensive advertising campaigns. In fact United States businessmen gener- ally realize fully the value of adver- tising in a way not generally prevalent in many other countries. Canada is a close second to her Unit- ed States neighbors in this respect and in recent months, a great deal has heen said about the need for Canadian agri- culturists to become more advertising conscious. Only a short time ago, a speaker to the dairy farmers and cheesemakers urged its directors to look around them and realize the value of advertising. He drew attention to the millions spent by Canadian breweries on promotion and = advertising and compared the brewers' advertising appropriations with the small sums used for this pur- pose by dairymen. He made this observation: "You won't be able to sell Canadian cheese in competition with imported products until you begin to spend some real money on newspaper advertising and you had better get busy now." His advice was good and the state- ment by the President of the United States is an indication that at least one top administrator in the national life of a great country holds the same opinion, Without advertising no business, no matter how small, can hope to succeed. This has been proven beyond doubt in many Canadian merchandising fields. All Canadians Are Heirs There was quite a flurry of interest recently when it was announced that the late Sir James Dunn, Canadian steel magnate, had left an estate val- ued at $66 million . There was some mention in the press of the shares in his estate left to members of his fam ily. But a rather important part of the story was that which stated that the federal government would take some- thing over half of that huge estate in succession duties. These are a first charge on the estate, and, in effect, that makes all of the people of Canada heirs of Sir James Dunn to the extent that they benefit from his large con- tribution to the national treasury. It is true that the wealth of Sir James Dunn came from this country.

Without men of his enterprise, ability and character, much of the nation's wealth would remain untapped, and would be of no value to anyone. In pro- ducing his huge fortune, he promoted industries which spread many times that amount among thousands of wor- kers as wages. With it, they have been able to build homes, maintain families and enjoy comfortable life. Sir James could not take his wealth with him. But the country is richer and better off because so large a por- tion of it will be devoted to the pur- poses of the public treasury. So all of us are beneficiaries, just as so many have been the beneficiaries of his en- terprise and initiative during his life- time.

And though you cannot watch it from its source, This bright green expeditionary force, After a winter's hapless dallyirg, Will land upon the sunny shores of spring.

LETS KEEP IT OTTAWA REPORT Priestley Row Seen As Typical By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette OTTAWA: "There is constant talk of a = of peaceful _pene- tration of ia by the United States,' wrote J. B. Priestley, the British author who is now pass- ing through Canada with all the docility of a Seltzer tablet. Parallelling the current contro- versy about economic penetration by the States, Priestley remarked that this U.S.A. influence 'can be noticed on the surface aspect of social life--the details of hotel life, the methods of advertising, the magazines, the movies, the shops and amusements. Yet noth- ing arnoys the average Canadian more than a suggestion that he is rapidly becoming americanized. I took a malicious pleasure in point. ing out details of this." "Actually," confided one-time Good Companion Pristley, 'we can all do something to stem this American tide. For example, in my trade it has been the habit of most British authors to let their American publishers have the Can- adian market. Now I for one have arranged for an entirely separate Canadian edition of my books, published in Toronto. This is not much, but it is something." These words of Priestley's have boomeranged on him from the past this week. He wrote them in a newspaper 25 years ago. But now he has just revealed that what a struggling young author might have promised is not binding on the mental attitude of a slipping old story-spinner. PERSONALISED BOOKS Authors in Canada often assist their publishers and themselves by personal appearances at stores where their books are being prom- oted. There they will autograph their books for buyers, This is found to be a successful sales aid, and the personal contact helps future sales. 1 recall not long ago a well known woman M.P., Miss Mar- garet Aitken, took time off from her busy round of politics and columny to hold an autographing party at an Ottawa bookshop, promoting ihe sale of her beck describing her own parliamentary election, ("Hey Ma, 1 made it!" adv:) So it was not surprising that Priestley, keen to promote his Canadian editions, should be an- nounced as an autographer of his own books. The announcement was made at a bookseller's lunch re- cently held in Toronto. "I never autograph books," promptly denied the guest speak- er, adding "It was an unparall- eled piece of rudeness." The ensuing far « echoing vakety-yvak was unworthy of a recipient of this country's hosp- itality. We might all expunge from our memories all though of him whom that same Miss Aitken dub- bed 'The putrid Mr, Priestley", and leave him romeoing with his new young wife, the former Mrs. Jacquetta Hawkes. But another of his comments hit a nail squarely on the head and should make us give thought to it, THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY He expressed surprise at "how little a reasonable well-informed Englishman knows about the Brit- ish Empire"--~meaning specif- ically' Canada in this case. One of the tragedies of this fast- growing country of ours is that foreigners cease their education when they leave school, and our affairs get little notice in foreign newspapers. Hence other count- ries are unable to bring their knowledge of us up to date in line with our current development. Take for example that remark of Priestley's about the British Empire. Canada evolved the idea of Commonwezlth status 30 years ago. Yet most middle-aged Britons are unaware that there is any dif- ference between the Common- wealth and the British Empire. FOR BETTER HEALTH Baby Needs Plenty Of Drinking Water By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.give the baby enough water. Tt Your baby needs plenty of drinking water to keep him happy and healthy. This is especially true during the hot summer days which are now approaching us. He gets thirsty, too, you know. Besides, drinking water helps keep a baby's mouth clean. RESTLESS AND FUSSY If your infant does not get en- ough water, if may cause trou- ble. A very young baby pgobably will become restless and fussy. He may even develop a fever at times simply because he does not get enough water. An older baby, too, may be- come cross and irritable and often have hard bowel movements be- cause of insufficient water. FEW OUNCES Offer your youngster a few ounces of lukewarm boiled or spe- cial nursery water two or three times a day. Give them fo him between his regular feedings. But don't wake him just to' give him water Let him drink as much as he wishes, but don't force it upon him. He'll take what he needs, don't worry about that USE NURSING BOTTLE For a young baby, it's probably easiest to give him his water from a nur + hattla At the age of three or four months, you can give him some water from a spoon so he'll get used to taking food that way At about seven to .nine months he'll be able to start drinking from a cup Try to remember each day to means much to his health. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. M.L.: I am developing a patchy baldness on my head. Will my hair ever re-groww? Answer: It is possible that you are suffering from a type of bald- ness known as alopecia areata. Many times the hair' grows back by itself in this type of disease. You should consult a skin spe- cialist for treatment. Even more still think of this as the frontierland word-painted by James Fenimore Cooper. Not long ago, a fat complacent editor of a very important Eng- lish newspaper was sent across the Atlantic to get first-hand ed- ucation about Canada and the States. He possessed and proudly retained all the ignorance de- scribed by Priestley. He disem- barked at New York City, and the only penetration he made into the wilderness was to take train as far as Buffalo with his wife. He appeared in Toronto at noon by two-thirty that afternoon, he had 'seen' Canada, "Sorry I missed you," he wrote in a note which he leit with my colleague, "But I had to catch a train back to Buffalo. I left my wife there as I did not think there would be a hotel in Canada. have seen Canada and am return- ing to. New York." I asked my colleague what opin- jon he had formed of the in- trepid explorer, "By Canadian standards," he replied succinctly, 'he needed a hair-cut, a shoe-shine, and his manners brushing up."

McINTYRE HOOD Scarcely a meeting of the Osh- awa city council passes without some discussion of some phase of the zoning by-laws. Requests for changes in these by-laws are made with disturbing frequency. The Oshawa Planning Board does an excellent job of analyzing these requests and passing on its rec- ommendations to the city council, which accepts or rejects them as it sees fit. Oshawa, however, is not the only place where there are troubles over the zoning by-laws. Appar- ently, there has been some dis- cussion of them in the city of Guelph, Writing in the editorial columns of the Guelph Mercury, a writer who Signs himself by the pen-name of "Christopher Billopp" has something to say about zoning, and it makes interesting reading. This is what he has to say about TO PROTECT OWNERS 'Zoning is an arrangement by which a neighborhood is desig- nated as residential or commer- cial. Thus property owners are protected. "With that assurance people go ahead and build their op A residential zone and hope to live happily ever after. But one day they learn that Neighbor Jones has set to work getting the neigh. borhood rezoned for a filling sta- tion or store. "Everyone is shocked. So they go to Neighbor Jones and ask him if it is true. Neighbor Jones says it is. But he is not doing anything but what is good for the community. "He points out what a great convenience it will be to have the store or filing station right at hand instead of having to drive a mile or more to get to one. Neigh- bor Jones talks as if he were a great benefactor who would de- forve a monument when he is ead. b 'But his neighbors are not con- vinced. They appeal to the Plan- ning Board to stop Neighbor Jones from carrying out his nefarious plans. If the Planning Board fails to satisfy, they take the matter to court and hire lawyers. And Neighbor Jones hires lawyers and READER'S VIEWS Gives Further Views On Pipeline Controversy The Editor, The Times-Gazette, Sir: I was flattered to note that my former letter to you had been dealt with at some lengih by M. Mcintyre Hood in his daily col- umn, The burden of his defence of the gas pipeline built with publi¢ funds is that the Ontario Hydro is not a subsidized enterprise. I suggest that Mr. Hood tele- phone your city hall to find out what taxes your local hydro- electric system pays to the city treasury. At the same time he might make a comparison with the taxes paid by your local gas works --which has been a much smaller enterprise. 1 think he will. find that the gas works pays the full rate of taxation as does any other business enterprise in your com- munity and that the Hydro pays taxes only on some land that it may own and a business tax on a retail showroom, if it operates one. You may say that the absence of taxes from Hydro does not matter because.everyone is a user of electricity. This, of course, is not a fact and, even if it were, it would mean an uneven distribution of the tax bugden applied to Hydro. The Hydro's share of municipal taxes is spread over all the other taxpayers in the community. You may say that it does not matter whether a householder pays taxes through a larger electric bill or directly to the city treasurer in property taxes. But what about the tenants? Should the owner of a tenant's home pay part of his electric bill? That is taking place all over Ontario, but that fact does not make it just. I suggest also, with deference, that you ask, yourself why the Trans-Canada pipeline around north of Lake Superior re- quires government assistance. Is it not because no one so far has been able to come up with a plan which is economically feasible on summons his friends to Wis ald. And the community is divided into two camps. "This is hard on the commu- nity's social life, as everybody has to plan parties without mix- ing the enemies. And instead of enjoying peace and quiet in their nice homes, the people sit around worrying. And every time they hear a truck on the road they fear it is that of workmen com- ing to set up the store or filling station. "Yes, zoning is a fine way to achieve neighborhood peace and quiet, But it does not compare with the olden days when people who wanted peace from neighbors fled to the frontier and had noth- ing worse to worry about than being frapeddl the Indians." Facetious may be in some respect, this piece by Christopher Billopp his the nail right on the head. We can readily apply it to situations which have arisen in Oshawa, with the difference that instead of taking the matter to court, the parties take the matter before the city council. And in some cases the equivalent of Neighbor Jones in Oshawa wins out over those property -owners who feel that their protection has been removed and their rights vio- lated. Yes, zoning is a wonderful thing, but only when citizens who regard it as a protection can have some assurance and guaran- tee that this protection ig going to continue and not he upset without a moment's notice. DO YOU NEED A LOAN UNTIL PAYDAY? $50 for 2 weeks costs only 47¢ the basis of the ordinary busi of publishing a newspaper or op- erating a grocery store? And if the pipeline cannot be built without taxpayers' assistance, is it not a forgone conclusion that all or part of the money advanced from the public treasury will be gone for- ever? Taxpayers in New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and British Columbia are already helping to pay the corporation taxes which the Ontario Hydro does not have to pay. Is it fair to add an addi- tional burden in the form of def- fcits and assistance to a Trans- Canada Pipe Lines Company Crown Corporation?
