THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Wednesday, Moy 9, 1956 Fateful Decision Depends On NATO Meeting Result The meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization council, held this week in Paris, is an important one. On its deliberations depended the mak- ing of decisions which will have a great effect on the future fate of Eu- rope. NATO already knows what it has to try to do in the matter of mili tary defences in Europe. Even although accomplishment in that field has fallen short of the goals which have been set from time to time, there is at least a plan towards which the partner na- tions are working. In the present meeting, however, discussions are ranging far beyond the purely military field. There is more and more coming to be a firm conviction that if NATO is to be fully effective, #t must make greater progress in the field of political and economic partner- ship than has yet been attempted. The change in Russian strategy which has become apparent is directed towards economic measures to build up the strength of the Communist world, These must be met by economic and political measures on the part of the free world to meet that challenge. We believe that today the economic chal- lenge from Soviet Russia is just as serious as the military challenge. Since the inception of NATO, Cana- da has been endeavoring to lead her partners in the alliance to see the val- ue of broadening the ¢ase of its opera- tions, What has become known as the "Canada plan" in the NATO charter calls for a large measure of economic and political co-operation to strengthen the inner structure of the organiza- tion. Although some of the nations in. volved are sensitive about their nat- ional sovereignty, the time has come for that to be subordinated to the gen- eral welfare of all, which means the individual welfare of each. Thus the decisions reached at the Paris meet ing will be of great importance to the future of all countries within the NATO partnership. Taxes Pay For Civic Progress In the last week or so, Oshawa tax- payers have been finding out, in the payment of the first instalment of their tax bills, how much more it is costing them to meet the city's ex- penses this year. The increase of four and a half mills in the tax rate has been felt by everyone who has a tax bill to pay. We do not feel, however, that our taxpayers should feel badly about the extra levy they have to meet. We are simply paying the price for the pro- gress and advancement of Oshawa in recent years. Oshawa is a far differ- ent city from what it was 20 years ago, or even five years ago. That had been a period of progress in every depart. ment of the city's affairs. It is because of this progress that the additional taxes have been made necessary. Schools and additions to schools have had to be built. They were needed to keep pace with the city's growth. And the taxpayers have to pay for them. In recent years we have seen tremendous progress made in the pro- vision of a modern sewage disposal sys- tem in the city. Extension of paved roads and sidewalks, street improve- ments to facilitate the passage of traf fic, new arteries to take care of indus- trial expansion, are all steps in the pat- tern of progress. And they all cost money. We feel that the great majority of our taxpayers have seen for themselves the progress the city has made. They have seen, in addition to the items we have mentioned, the creation of a new city hall and fire and police headquar- ters, all of them highly essential to a growing city. So while the tax rate has gone up and the instalments are higher, that is the price of progress, and we believe that most of our taxpayers will recognize this and accept their higher taxes accordingly. Dutch Make Good Citizens We were pleased to note that while speaking in Chatham recently, Hon. J. W. Pickersgill, federal minister of immigration and citizenship, had some good things to say about immigrants who had come from the Netherlands to settle in Canada. He praised them for their intelligence, their industry, their perseverance, and their heredi- tary aptitude for successful farming. These attributes had helped to fit them for agricultural life in the land of their adoption, and had enabled them to make a valuable contribution to the life of Canada. With all of this, we whole-heartedly agree, We have had interesting con- tacts with many families which have migrated to Canada from the Nether- lands, both in Ontario county and else- where, and have found in them those qualities which make for success in life in this country. They seem able to learn the English language very quick- Other Editors' Views BUTTER SURPLUS (Ottawa Journal) + The United States has decided to market another 10,000,000 1bs. of surplus butter abroad. Canada still has a surplus and a fresh influx of butter supplies from spring production les ahead. Possibly, in the long run, the only way to deal with the problem will be to put cows on a 40-hour week. The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Ma 1 ' na, . M.

Their ine dustry and thrift, their concern for having neat and comfortable homes, have been impressive.

Is the fact that a TV set is rapidly becoming as much a part of the household as the washing machine, a good thing for family life, or not? utting through the vehement opinions of viewers-with-alarm, the Gallup Poll reports that the families themselves are, in the main, happy about the impact of TV in their homes. Three to one, as reported previously by the Poll, say "It's a good influence" -- less than one in five are critical. Interviewers for the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion asked everyone to explain their attitude and family life.

NOT INTENDED FOR PARKING We can recall that at the time the building of the new city hall was started, and it was appar- ent that some disposition would have to be made of the old city hall property, there was no thought at that time of setting it aside as a parking area. The council in that year was an op- timistic body. It spoke in terms of selling the property for $100,- 000, an amount which could be applied towards the cost of the' new municipal. administration building. Some offers were re ceived, but none of them came even within appreciable distance of the $100,000 which was the sum in the minds of the aldermen. They were rejected. With no buyer in sight, and with the parking problem acute, it was decided, as a stop-gap measure, we firm- ly believe, to devote the site to EWC parking. And so it has been ever since.

BUNDESEN, MD COOKING for a person on a low salt diet can be a big prob- lem for homemakers. How can you make foods tasty when you can't add salt? Actually, it's not as difficult as it might seem. I'm not a fancy cook, but let me tell you about some seasonings you can use in- stead of salt, As a group, seasonings are re- markably low In sodium content. Vinegar and vanilla extract, for example, contain only about one mg. of sodium per 100 grams, Cin namon, nutmeg and ground black pepper contain a little more, but are safe to use in these diets Bo are most of the other sea ponings with the exception of cel ery salt, preparod mustard, Wor cestershire sauce and tomate valsup Parsley flakes gnd cloves con fain moderate A af sndivm hut you can use (hese as well as QUEEN'S PARK thyme, marjoram, rosemary, sa- vory, basil, tarragon and lemon.
