|O>mum ww Am --- HE DE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Friday, June 22, 1956 Premier Frost Hints More Aid Coming For Education Speaking at a function in Newmark- et the other day, Premier L. M. Frost of Ontario made a statement which will doubtless be eagerly taken up by muni- cipal governments which are having fi- nancial problems. The premier said that certain municipal reforms are being given primary consideration by the pro- vince, with the hope that more funds may be made available to municipal ities to meet the cost of education. While it is true that this statement does not construe a specific commitment on the part of the province, the fact that it was made in a prepared speech, and not in a "spur of the moment" com- ment will tend to make municipalitites take it seriously. The important thing, however, is that the premier's state- ment indicates an awareness on the part of the government that municipa- lities cannot continue to carry the ra- pidly increasing burden of municipal costs for education on the basis of pro- perty taxation alone. There is a need for some re-alignment of bases of taxa- tion so that there may be relief for the over-loaded taxpayers in municipalities. Education is the field of civic govern ment in which, at least so far as Osh- awa is concerned, there has been most rapid growth of expenditure in recent years. These expenditures have been in- evitable, forced on the board of educa- tion by a growing population of chil- dren. The end of this expansion has not nearly been reached, and there will be increasing demands on the taxpayers for money for educational purposes. May we express the hope that Pre- mier Frost's statement that more funds may be made available for education costs was meant to be taken seriously, and that before too long, it is imple- mented by the municipal reforms which he says are under consideration. Honoring Memory Of Pioneers Last weekend, in an impressive cere- mony, the original burial ground of the United Empire Loyalists at Adol- phustown, on the shore of the Bay of Quinte, #as turned over to the pro- vince as a historic site. Restored through the efforts of Toronto mem- bers of the United Empire Loyalists Association, in which Mrs. R. S. Me- Laughlin of Oshawa took a leading part, the cemetery marks the spot at which the Loyalists landed on the Bay of Quinte on June 16, 1784. The. cere- mony of last weekend therefore mark- ed also the 172nd anniversary of their arrival on Canadian soil. The ground continued to be used as a cemetery for a century, and abandoned until the work of restoration was under- taken last year by the UEL Association. It is most fitting that the old UEL cemetery should be preserved as a memorial in honor of these pioneer settlers of Ontario. There is a further was then significence, sight of which should not be lost. It is recorded in the inscription on the ornamental gates which adorn the. property, reading as follows;" "That Canadians May Remember the Sacrifices of Loyalists to Preserve our British Heritage." Here in the Oshawa district, the present generation owes much to its pioneer settlers who came from the United States as UE Loyalists in the late years of the 18th century. Some of them are memorialized in the old pioneer cemetery which overlooks the Oshawa harbor, and which is now kept in a good state of preservation. Therefore it is a matter of pride that Oshawa should have been represented at last week-end's ceremonies by Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, descendent of a United Empire Loyalist family, and one whose generosity was largely res- ponsible for the restoration on the old cemetery at Adolphustown. Eisenhower's Great Problem While President Eisenhower is re- ported to be making satisfactory pro- gress towards recovery from his recent illness and operation, very little of an official nature is being said as to whether he will still be able to stand as a candidate for the 1956 presidential election. The final decision in that re- gard is, of course, his to take. He alone, on the basis of the advice he receives from his medical advisers, can make the decision as to whether he will allow his name to stand for nomination, or whether he will withdraw. This is a difficult decision for him to make. He must realize that, with him as their candidate, the Republic- ans are almost certain of an election victory. Without him, there is a strong possibility that they will lose the election to the Democrat nominee, whoever he may be. As the London Editorial 'Notes Congratulations to Rev. H. D.

These implications are obvious. The Republicans, on the one hand, cannot afford to face the accusation that they are forcing a sick man to run in the interests of the party. The Democrats would quickly take advantage of any suspicion of selfish tactics on the part of their opponents. But on the other hand, the Democrats' course must be such as to avoid giving rise to a be- lief that they were making capital out of the president's illness to further their own cause. It is a delicate situa- tion, with the Republicans in the worst position. And it is a situation that can only be resolved by the decision of Eisenhower himself. Other Editors' Views IT COULD BE!

COFFE WITH HIS HEAD! " SHE SAID WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING ROUND, -- ALICE IN WONPERLAND, OTTAWA REPORT False Argument Used By Liberal By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazeite OTTAWA--As a footnote to the suspension from Parliament of Mr. Donald Fleming, we have heard a Liberal opinion expressed to the effect that our democratic rights are expendable, This strange approach to the rights of members of Parliament, to the right to free speech, sug- gests that such rights can only be exercised a few times, after which they cease to exist. Tris is an approach to rules, regulations and laws which will horrify any lawyer and stun any erson with a sense of fairness. ts logical extensiin of course would produce a condition of com- plete anarchy. Mr .Wes Stuart, the Liberal MP for Charlotte, New Brunswick was the member who advarfced this novel theory, in discussing the case of Mr. Fleming. He sug- gested that members' right to speak can be used up; that this right to the support and protection of parliamentary rules is rationed and limited "1 have gone over Hansard for three days only (during the pipe- line dabte),"" Mr. Stuart told Par liament. "I find that the name of the Hon. Member for Eglinton (Mr. Fleming) appears as speak- ing 118 times during that three- day peiod 1 leave it to the House and to the citizens of this country to judge for themselves whether the Hon. Member was de- nied the right ti speak in the House of Commons." On the occasion concerned, when Mr. Fleming was suspended, he asked 10 times to be allowed to state a question of privilege, and he was, as every member of the House knows perfectly well, de- nied the right which the rules ac: cord to him. For Stuart to suggest that, as Fleming has spoken on other occasions, he had no fur- ther right to be heard on this oc- casion, is therefore completely ir- relevant--unless the Liberals are redesigning the rules which have been observed in our type of Par- liament for centuries GRADE. 1 MATHEMATICS Stuart then developed a new line of argument, which resulted in a gory case of mental suicide. He arsumed that on each of the 118 times when Fleming "spoke'" on those three days, that Fleming spoke for an average of five min- utes. He proceeds from that dis- honest assumption to the conclus- fon that if every other MP had QUEEN'S PARK spoken 118 times for an average of five minutes each time, it would have taken 519 days to get through the talk of those three days I have studied the Hansard for one of those three days I found that the name of the Speaker of Chairman is recorded 175 times a 'spoken"; Lib- eral MPs 'F MPs 54 times; Fleming 34 times; other Cinservative MPs 141 times; an- onymous interrupters 103 times; others 19 times HE KNOWS BETTER The truth, as Stuart well knows, is that every interjection is re- corded in Hansard, with the in- terrupter's 'name if possible, And after each such interjection, the speaking mpmber"s name is re- peated as he continued his re- marks. Stuart was therefore quite phony in suggesting that, as Flem- ing's name appears 118 times in three days, he made 118 speeches averaging five minutes each Had Fleming done so, he would have taken up 75 per cent of the time of the House during those bitter days, and anyone can ase sume that to b ea merely stilly suggestion he 598 speecres on the one day in fact ranged from one-word in- terjections (example: "Boo') ti a longest speech of about 900 words. This was delivered by Stanley Knowles. A Hansard reporter tells me that Knowles speaks at the slightly fast average of 165 words per. minutes, so en the longest speech on that day lasted a mere minutes--making Stuart's sug- gestion that Fleming averaged five minutes even sillier. Falseness is the keynote of Stuart's argument. He has not the excuse of impromptu errors, for he read every word from a pre- pared texi---notwithstanding rules to the contrary---and I noticed that he subsequently handed his text to a Hansard messenger for reprint- ing. And as he was previously em- ployed as a tax auditor, he cannot even atke the excuse that he did not understand the figures he was reading out I noticed that he was scarlet in the face when he finished his read- ing, so I assume he had the good grace to blush. But it might have been blood pressure. Anyhow, no- body should be. deceived by his false arithmetic, which he used to explain that our domestic rights should be rationed. And regardless of what he said, Fleming was in fact denied the right to speak in the House--and note that Stuart himself used the word "right". 51, o% Liquor Licence System All Wrong By DON O'HEARN Special Corresponcent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO--The New Woodbine race track liquor licence situation has developed since we wrole about it the other day. Following the opening of the track, an official said it should have a licence. That an applica tion had been made in plenty of time, and that there was no rea son why it couldn't get a licence despite the fact Etobicoke town ship hadn't had a vote--that it was in the same position as goit clubs and other '"'private' organ- izations, who had been given li- cences in non-vote areas. The official was right--and he was wrong. Right in that there are golf clubs in non-vote areas. Wrong in that because of this it 'is entitled to a licence, particularly under tc- day's conditions Irrespective of right or it is fortunate that he male ni statement and got some public terest in the liquor licence situa tion. wrong the Woodbine situation points up once again, and very strongly just how irrational our liquor conirol is Government control of liquor could never be easy.

One of the most successful and delightful events of the year of the Oshawa Lebanon Masonic MAC'S MEANDERINGS Making Progress In Atomic Fields By M. McINTYRE HOOD CHALK RIVER -- Progress in the field of Canadian atomic ener- 4 research in the last two years s been startling and stimulat- ing. That, in a few words, sums up what we learned from Dr. D. A. Keys, scientific assist- ant to the president of Atomic Energy of Canada, Limited, in the course of a chat in his office at the Chalk River project. Although our visit north was in the form of a restful holiday at Deep River, it was inevitable that we should visit the plant, As readers of The Times - Gazette will recall, we were there on an official visit, a little over two years ago, and had the privilege of being the first newspaper man to be shown around the project and given a free hand in writing all we wanted on the develop- ment of atomic energy in Can- ada, At that time, we did a series of articles for this newspaper, giving the people of this commu- nity our first hand observations on what was going on at Chalk River, Our present visit revealed to us the great steps forward which have been made in the atomic energy research field since that visit in 1954. But the first thing that struck us was the degree to which the veil of secrecy had been lifted from the Chalk River oper- ations. Clyde Kennedy, public re- lations officer, told us that one of his major jobs nowadays is making arrangements for parties of visitors, not only from Canada but from many other countries, to see through the project. Eyery- thing is now wide open, although there still are some necessary se- curity safeguards. When we went up there in 1954, about three weeks before we went we received an elaborate security questionnaire, which we had to answer in great detail, giving our whole life history and that of our antecedents for three generations back. There was nothing like that this time, Along with another newspaperman, we drove over from Deep River to Chalk River. The guard at the outer gate, five miles from the plant, simply ask- ed our names and who we were going to visit. He made a phone call to the head security officer, and without further ado, we were allowed to continue on our way. A sign at this outer gate carried the message that cameras and firearms were prohibited within the project. We had no firearms, but we did have with us a cam- era. We told the guard of this, he made another telephone call, and he came back with the mes- sage that we could take the cam- era along into the project. This was indeed a change in procedure, and we were impressed. GREAT EXPANSION When we reached the inner gate, our pass, in the form of a lapel badge, was waiting for us. Inserted in the back of it was a piece of film, which, on being ex- amined as we were leaving after our visit, would indicate whether we had acquired any radiation while in the plant. It was all as simple as that. Once inside, we were impress- ed by the expansion which had taken place since our last visit, There were several new build. ings, the chief being that which houses the new reactor, known as NRU (National Research Univer- sal), and which stands alongside the old one, NRX (National Re- be to search Experimental). In 1954, the building for NRU was just be- ing started. Now this huge re- actor is nearing completion, and will provide Canada with a great instrument for further research and for development of further peacetime uses for atomic ener: y. We called on Dr. Keys, and he was free and open in discussing with us the developments. One can sense his pride in the project things to say about the known as NPF (Nuclear Power Development). with the Hydro - Commission of Ontario and the Canadian General Electric Com- pany, Limited, the plans for this t were almost com feted, search at Chalk River, SEEK COST PRODUCTION "We know what we can do in the deveopment of an atomic . er plant," said Dr. Keys. "We know that we can build a plant. One chief concern now is to oper- ate it so that it will produce elec- tricity at a cost competitive with "ith oal. One pound wi Cf . will hea ,700, pounds of coal. But we have to bring down the price of uranium so that it will be com- petitive in cost to produce elec- tricity. It can be done, and we are constantly acquiring new in- formation which enable us to o It. By the middle of August, the Building for the NPD project will be under way. A site has been set aside and cleared at Des Joachims, 12 miles away, and alongside the present hydro gen- erating station, so that when the atomic energy plant is in opera- tion, its power can be fed into the hydro system at that point. The plant proposed will be a 20,000 kilowatt plant, to be used as a demonstration and experimental plant in which the chief effort will reduce the costs of power generation. Only a few days ago, tenders were called for the build ing of this plant. Some idea of the costs involved, however, can be gleaned from the fact that it will cost $15 million to build and equip the NPD station. LOOKING AHEAD But already the engineers and scientists are looking ahead, and are planning a 100,000 kilowatt sta- tion which it is believed will be ble of ting on a cost at Chalk River, natural he has been at the helm of scien- tific developments there since the start. The NRU reactor, he said, was the result of all the research that has gone on there during the last 10 years. It was, he said, five times more powerfhl than NRX reactor with which all the experimental work had been done in recent years. It was also the most powerful reactor of its kind in the world, using heavy water as a moderating agent. From its operations, Dr. Keys said, would be learned the secrets of further development of the use if atomic energy, particularly in the field of economical production of- el power from an atomic reactor. Dr. Keys had some interesting READERS' VIEWS Distribution Of Wages By G.M. Corporation The Editor, The Times-Gazette, r, In your editoral of June 16, "How much of G.M, dollar is dis- tributed in wages' one statement is misleading. You write, "The 27 cents indicated as pay. ment to labor does not tell the whole story, since a large part of the 48% cents paid for supplies and services secured from others represented the wages of labor paid by those providing them. Even a large part of the taxes paid finally reaches workers in the form of salaries." This statement would indicate that the actual share of the labor cost is more than 27 cents in the dollar. This is erroneous. Sure, the 48% cents represents wages, as well as costs of materials, profits, taxes, mai e, depreciation, Lodge took place when Ss of the Toronto Mimosa Lodge paid a return * visit to the Lebanon Lodge.

LEAVE DANGLING Woodbine didn't know about it. Probably even its lawyer didn't --unless he happened to be one of the few that apparently are able to keep close enough to the board to interpret its policies to clients. The track says it applied in June, 1955. It probably did. And when it says it hasn't heard any- thing further since then, it prob- ably is right again. It would be only one of many applicants that the board receives and then leaves dangling on a limb for months and years. The whole business is sloppy. But worse than that it is secret. And secrecy doesn't belong in our system---even in liquor etc., but as they were included already in that dollar, they can not be added on top of the 27 MAC'S MUSINGS This last week has been A time when many of our Gardening enthusiasts Have been reaping the Benefit of their planning And their arduous work By the enjoyment they Have had in the glory Of the rich iris colors Seen in the masses of Bloom in their gardens.
