THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Tuesday, June 5, 1956 Keeping Business Sections From Through Highway > It is now recognized and appreciated by most people in Ontario that modern through highways, like Highway No. 401, should be kept clear of built-up husiness areas. Such business areas are not allowed on the major through park- wavs in the United States. They should not be allowed on Ontario's main con- trolled-access highways. Yet, according to Hon, James Allen, Ontario's minister of highways, his de- partment is under tremendous pressure to permit business sections on such highways. And he declares that he is determined not to give in to this pres- sure/ For this wise stand, we congratu- Jate Mr. Allen. The results of past policies of allow- ing uncontrolled business developments on main highway routes, are painfully apparent in Ontario. They have made it Value Of Parks I'he value of space in a community for parks and playgrounds was empha- sized in a recent decision handed down bv a New York supreme court judge. I'he case came before the court because a group of angry parents had protested ) the conversion of their chil- iren's playground into a privately-op- erated parking lot. This parking lot vas to have been used in.connection th a tavern restaurant in New York's med Central Park. In giving judg- the judge agreed with the par- He ruled in favor of the ground being retained as a park, and in doing he said: "No foot or even inch of park space is expendable in our teeming metropolis " This judgment can be construed as a rebuke to those who would" deprive children of their park and playground space for the benefit of commercial en- terprises. It set a proper value on the utilization of land, even in a huge city 181 ents necessary to slow down through traffie on such highways from the 50-miles speed limit to a limit of 30 miles. And in some sections, because of the busi- ness traffic congestion the effective speed drops down to 10 and 20 miles an hour. One can readily see what would happen if our four-lane highways were to be cluttered up with business developments. The purpose of the four-lane, con- trolled-access highways is to speed up the flow of through traffic. That flow would be very much hampered if there were frequent built-up business areas to cut down the speed limits. It is to be hoped that the Ontario government stands firmly behind the minister of highways in continuing to give a nega- tive answer to pressure groups interest ed only in financial gain. To Community like New York, for recreational pur- poses. In Oshawa, our children are fortu- nate in the areas that have been set aside for park and playground purposes. In addition to the splendid Lakeview Park, and the spacious Alexandra Park, which are available for recreation for people of all ages, there are the many neighborhood parks spotted all over the city. How jealously they are guarded by the citizens was made apparent when the board of education endeavored to secure part of Fernhill Park as a site for a school. So strenuous were the pro- tests, that the board dropped its pro- jects. May this condition Jong persist in Oshawa. Our children need all the park and playground space that can be made available for them, and from what we know from the parents of the city, any attempt to curtail these areas will be stoutly resisted. St. Lawrence Seaway Tolls It has become a matter of agreement between Canada and the United States that when the St. Lawrence Seaway is opened for traffic, all vessels passing through it will be subject to toll charges. This is an entirely new princi- ple so far as waterways on this conti- nent are concerned. In the past, both American and Canadian shipping has been able to use the canals and other improvements of both countries freely and' without any charge. The reason for imposing tolls on the St. Lawrence Seaway is fairly obvious. When it is completed, foreign vessels, belonging to neither of these two coun- tries, will be using the waterway in large numbers. They will have made no contribution to the tremendous cost of building the seaway. They have no reciprocal privileges to offer. It is there- fore only right and proper that they should have to pay tolls for the use of Editorial Notes Even with the increased tuition fees, a university education is still the best investment that any young person can make.

While it has been agreed that tolls will be charged, the question yet to be settled is that of the rates which ships using the seaway will pay. There is some divergence of opinion on this question between Canada and the Unit- ed States, There is a tendency in the United States to use the seaway as a source of revenue to liquidate the heavy costs, while Canada favors a more mod- erate approach to the subject. There is one point, however, on which there seems to be agreement. This is that American and Canadian ships, from the two countries which have fin- anced the seaway, will pay a much low- er rate of tolls than those of foreign countries which have made no contri- bution to the cost. That seems to us to be a very reasonable outlook, and it doubtless will be the one adopted by the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority.

He can save you from disaster And protect you from all storms, Fill your heart with sweet contentment, Shield you from life's sharpest thorns. He is waiting and too soon You will go and leave Him waiting When. within your heart He is always near to help you When you feel in need of Him; While enjoying your vacation He will keep you from all sin. there's room.

That is the final con- clusion reached in the top-secret survey of Liberalism's prospects, to which I have referred previously in this column. This survey covers the prospects of the Liberal party in this year's provincial election in Quebec, and also in next year's federal elec- tion. It was prepared on the basis of the present thinking of the top strategy - planners and campaign- fighters in that party. It was writ- ten before the historical pipeline debate focussed public attention upon our parliamentary tradition of freedom of speech; but never- theless it is very significant that it forecasted the danger to the Lib- eral party in what it described as "a dictatorial cabinet." The Progressive Conservative party, says this survey, is led by a man whom the Liberals consider to be actually an asset to their cause, And the dwindling Grand Old Party of Sir John A. Macdon- ald needs to undergo drastic or- ganizational changes if it is to have any hope of staging a come- back; but there is no sign that such changes are being planned Even with a new leader, this par- ty will slowly be replaced by So- cial Credit members in Parlia- ment. The CCF offers so little to the New Canada, wearing its new look as a welfare state, that it can be ignored as a factor in Canadian elections on the federal scale. The Liberal party itself faces many adverse factors, which to- gether or even individually could destroy it. SOCIAL CREDIT FORMIDABLE "Under present circumstances," says this survey, 'the Liberal party's most formidable political foe will be Social Credit. This will be particularly so should we be unfortunate enough to experience a rather severe and lengthy econo- mic depression." Even in the Liberal stronghold of Quebec province "there is a new danger arising.'" That, says this survey, is not so much the entry FOR BETTER HEALTH of the Sovial Credit party in Que- bec; it is the tongue-in-cheek at- titude taken by the Liberal party against what is considered to be a formidable foe even in Quebec. "The partisans of Social Credit, wearing little white caps, are mot afraid to go from door to door expounding their political beliefs. These have a popular attraction to people who have not the habit of thinking problems right through-- and such people make up a major- ity of the electors "This canvassing, and the ap- peal of the political beliefs, are dangerous to the Liberal party," in the opinion of the survey. TOUCH OF RELIGION "In addition, religibus sentiment is included in these door-to-door pep talks on Social Credit. This religious touch is of course Cath- olic in Quebec, and this proves very effective, Through the help of such religious sentiment, the Cath- olic Syndicate has proved to be a powerful force in Quebec thinking; and just in the same way the theor- ies expounded by Social Credit will become a powerful force in Quebec thinking." What could the Liberal party do to counter this rising threat to its supremacy? What evasive action might the Social Credit expanding army have to face? Here the sur- vey offers its partisans the time- tested advice to find out the op- ponents' weak spot, and attack fit. "There are very few members of the Liberal party who have taken the trouble to study the theories of Social Credit. For Quebec, the solu- tion to our problem is not to dis- cuss academic theories, but to de- rive a series of argumentative facts which would be repugnant to Quebec, and then not to be afraid to attack." So far Social Credit has suc- ceeded in revealing attractive rat- her than repugnant qualities. But that does not mean that its clean record will entitle it to any cleaner a fight than other parties tradit- ionally enjoy in La Belle Province. This Liberal survey affords a ros- ier picture of Social Credit's future on our political scene than ever the confident forecasts which reach here from certain far western prov- inces. If Hoarseness Persists Better See Your Doctor By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Hoarseness generally is nothing to become concerned about -- if it isn't persistent If it continues for more than two weeks, however, it's best to have your doctor take a look at your throat. And those of you who are over 50 and have been hoarse for a month or more should see your doctor as soon as possible as a safety measure. There can be many causes, of course, including acute and chronic laryngitis, influenza measles, benign or malignant tumors, trichinosis, even allergy. A fairly common cause of per sistent 'hoarseness is the paralysis of one vocal cord. This comes about by pressure on the recurrent laryngeal nerve such as sometimes occurs in thyroid disease. Screaming or shouting or im- proper loud talking during speech- making, as you may well know, frequently cz »s hoarseness. It causes generalized inflammation of the vocal cords or it can cause solitary hemorrhage into the free edge of one cord. Youngsters who cry loudly and frequently may develop vocal nodules. So may you adults who continually misuse your voice. Children frequently suffer hoarseness following upper respir atory infections. Some persons, in- cidentally, seem to develop hoarse- ness from such illnesses more eas- ily than others Fortunately, a simple examina- The Investment Dealers ( MEMBER TORONTO For Information DIAL RA 5-1104 THOMSON, KERNAGHAN & CO.

In some cases, X-rays of the chest, sinuses, larynx and esophagus will help in the diagnosis. Sometimes surgery ls necessary to remove the cause of the hoarse- ness. In other cases, the trouble can be remedied simply by learn- ing to use your vocal cords prop- erly. One of the best things you can do to ease your hoarseness is sim- ply to rest your voice. Maybe your doctor will prescribe mild seda- tives. Medicated steam inhalations can be quite helpful, too. QUESTION AND ANSWER J.R.: Can a cyst of the ovary turn into cancer?

McINTYRE HOOD Canadians are the world's great- est travellers, yet three-quarters of us have never visited any part of our own country outside our own province The fact that more than 28 million American visits are made to Canada annually indi- cakes the very real attraction that Canada holds for tourists, and Canadians themselves should be enjoying these recreational *as- ses, too." With these words Dalton J. Cas- well of Sundridge, National chair- man, inaugurated the recent Na- tional Tourist campaign of the Canadian Tourist A iation. The theme of the campaign was *'Know Canada Better; and its objectives were set out as follows: "To encourage Canadians to do more holiday travelling and visit- ing in parts of Canada they have not yet seen. *2. To make people more aware of the attractions for visitors that are to be found in their own and neighboring areas of Canada. "3. To encourage improvements in accommodation, food service ment and other facilities used by tourists and in our standards of courtesy and hospitality , so that tourism may make its maximum contribution to regional and nation- al prosperity." GREAT OPPORTUNITIES To carry out the theme of "Know Canada 'Better", we are concern- ed mostly with the first two of these objectives. When one consi- ders that last year Canadians tra- velling in other countries spent $441 million in their travels, the possibilities of doing more travell- ing in our own country are amaz- ing. We admit that foreign travel has its attractions. We have tra- velled in many countires, and in most of the states of the United States in our lifetime. But we can say frankly that in no country are there any greater scenic at- tractions, opportunities for recrea- tional holidays, sports and out- door life features than are to be found in Canada.

When Highways Minister Jim Al- lan heard about it, he recognized that this was probably going too far. An erasure shouln't ple of the province $36,000 which was the figure). The result is sthat all regula- tions will probably be loosened along with the official attitude to- wards minor infractions. SERIOUS THING Not that there could be blame on the department officials who threw out the offending contract. An erasure can be a serious thing to law, and they had to stick to the latter of their regulations. But there is no doubt it would be in the public interest if they were given a little leeway. NASTY RUMOR Poor Ross Strike has been taking a bad beating. When the Hydro commissioner made the mistake of giving a pub- lic statement on the power short- age, he brought down the ceiling. So much so that Toronto papers began digging into his status and came up with the question whether he really was a Hydro "vice-chair- , as he was 1} lose the colonel, except that the pay is bet- ter. : There is one nasty rumor that should be discounted. This is that Premier Frost insti- gated the press campaign against Mr. Strike. This absolutely untrue. Mr. Frost was away fishing when the campaign started and hadn't been talking to anyone here for ays, e campaign may have been in- stigated. And it may have been by someone close to home. But it wasn't Mr. Frost. As for Mr. Strike, one will get ou a hundred that he will go ack to the practice of pleasant .silence he so successfully followed for years. This mention may seem a little curious for this space. But still it is being made. It concerns a travel booklet which, has come to our hands through one of the government departments. The k is put out by the gov- ernment of Nova Scotia, and was sent along to use as the finest example of a tourist booklet the sender had seen. We agree with him. Entitled A Camera Tour of Nova Scotia, the booklet is brilliant. It is hard to understand how the N.S. government can distribute it free. But it does. And one cer- tainly can recommend that §t be sent for. Already it has caused some hea think in the department known. It was found that there was mo official status for this, and that it really amounted to an honorary title. Something llke a Kentucky here. 1t is doubtful if Ontario, with our very large distribution, could afford such a publication. But if we could, it would be one we would be very proud of.

Today the trend in the Landscaping of factories Is highly commendable, And it is no longer Necessary that factories Should be eyesores, but Are places that can add To the beauty as well as The prosperity of any Community, so we would Like to see more of our Industries following This excellent example.

Perhaps we can claim to have been in Newfound land, - however, since Labrador is a part of that province. In every province. we have found places worth visiting, places which pro- vide ideal places in which On- tario people could enjoy a wonder- ful holiday and at the same time get to "Know Canada Better." We have never seen finer sun- sets than those over the hills at Whycoganagh, on the Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton Island. For rugged beauty, there is nothing in the world to match the splendor of the Canadian Rockies, at the other extreme of the country. And in between these two extremes- east, and west-there is a rich var- iety of attractions to delight the heart of a tourist. The Laurentian Mountains, the Saguenay River, and the historic old city of Que- bec are worth visiting in our French Canadian province. The prairie provinces provide great holiday vistas, especially if one goes off the beaten track to so- journ by their lakes and riv. ers. The foothills of the Rock- ies, Banff springs and Jasper Park in Alberta, and the booming oil city of Edmonton in the same province, beckon with inviting hands to the people of Ontario. Nova Scotia's seashore villages, and the woods, rivers and lakes we have visited in New Brunswick add to the sum of the worthwhile holiday places in other nroyjnces.
