Flow ons trai a Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, July 27, 1956 Canada's Great Prosperity Changing Sense of Values Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, Canada's Governor-General, is concerned about the very healthy economic conditions prevailing in Canada at the present time. He does not decry the happy position in which Canadians find them- selves in these days of prosperity, but he is concerned because he senses a change in standards of valuae, a change which has placed material things fore- most in the minds of our people, to the detriment of the intangible characteris- tics which make for good citizenship. We are apparently living in an era in which the dollar sign has become the greatest standard of a persons worth. This is not the first time this has happened. It prevailed in the late 1920's, and was brought to a rude end by the crash in the fall of 1929. But it does seem as if a person's status is measured in these days, not by the good which he can contribute to society, but rather by the amount of money he has been able to accumulate. This GUEST EDITORIAL can be dangerous to the welfare of the nation. - It is true, of course: that dollars can be a powerful medium for good. We have an outstanding example of this in Oshawa's leading citizen, But when individuals become self - centred and and think only of the dollars which they possess they can become an evil instead of a blessing. . What is needed is a re-assessment of what constitutes true worth. We have to consider whether we are grow ing mentally and spiritually, as well as financially in the world of today. An honest self-examination might surprise many people, for it is possible to find that those things in which we place the greatest stock have the least per- manent value. Perhaps we should all be placing greater stock in the intan- gibles of character, service to others and working for the welfare of the community than we do in the mere acquiring of dollars. The Man Who Came For You By REV. JOHN K. MOFFAT In this historical drama Henry V. Shakespeare, at one point, speaks of "g little touch of Harry in the night" and of how the presence of their king in a crucial hour made all the differ- ence to the fortunes of the English. For Christians of all ages it is the ""touch of Christ", the living presence of the Master, that has made all the difference to human personality and has wrought miraculous transforma- tion of spirit and outlook. Christianity is a glorious saga of the tremendous things that have taken place in personality as a result of people coming face to face with Christ. In contact with this Man, who is so obviously much more than a man, people in all walks of life and at every point of human need have been savingly changed. In that contact there has been a power that has brought glorious re- lease from the thralldom of sin, that has made the weak strong, has given faith to the hopeless and courage to the fearful. And the really wonderful thing about it is this; ANYONE, and I do mean ANYONE, who really wants it, ean have this personal meeting with the living, saving Christ for there is literally no one who cannot say "Christ came for me!" YOU, whoever you are, are the person Christ wants. Do you feel crushed and defeated by life? Christ wants you. "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Do you feel tense, frustrated. fear- ful, desiring above all else peace, poise, serenity? Christ wants you. "Peace 1 leave with you, my peace I give unto you; let not your heart be troubled." Do you feel happy, optimistic, living on top of the world? Christ wants you. "I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly." Or perchance you feel inwardly shab- by and unclean, powerless to win the victory. If that is you then believe me, Christ wants you. "He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." In other words there is obsolutely no life situation, no problem of person- ality to which Christ cannot minister or for which He is not deeply con- cerned. There is no person, to whom Christ cannot come with saving power to answer their need. Don't take my word for it! Put Him to the test your- self and prove it in your own exper- ience! Danger to the "Right to Know" Among the freedoms which are truly important to the welfare of the individual in anystate is the freedom of the press. Perhaps newspapermen are more conscious of the importance of this than other people in a community, but this is because they realize that if the freedom of the press were abridged in any degree, that would be the first step toward depriving the people of all their freedom. Kent Cooper, who for many. years was general manager of the Associated Press, and was thus one of the world's outstanding newspaper executives, has put some interesting thoughts into words in his recently-published book, "The Right to Know." This book re- flects his thoughts and experience con- cerning encroachments upon the fun- damentals of free speech, a free press and free comment. Freedom of the press, Mr. Cooper rightly asserts, does not rest on any special privileges which are enjoyed by The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager. M.

Rather does it rest on an awareness on the part of the people of what he calls their "right to know." It is this "right to know," says this veteran journalist, that is being whittled away, even in democratic countries. This is being done by those in government who seek to withhold facts, or distort these facts by that type of government officials who are known as informa- tion or public relations officers. It is their job, of course, to try to present the policies and acts of those in author- ity in the most favorable light possible. Except under the stress of wartime necessity, the people of Canada would never tolerate government censorship of news. Yet the right of the Canadian people to know the truth about what is going on in their country is being subtly undermined by the existence of considerable staff of information and public relations officers on the govern- ment payroll.

Not if the public has any say in the matter and not if the farmers could speak as a national group Two to one Canadians dislike the suggestion. A cross the nation as a whole, for every two citizens who approve the idea, one does not, and one has no opinion to give. Any interest in developing such a political program has, if any- thing declined over the past years The Gallup Poll has checked just how Canadians feel on voting "blocs" since 1948 Opinion today falls into practically the same pro- portion as it did then. Only dif- ference, as today's opinion from the Poll shows, is that fewer men and women like the suggestion, and more don't know what they think. Ontario and the Prairies are more likely to endorse it than Quebec or the Maritimes. The same question has been put to a national sample of the voting public by interviewers for the Canadian Institute of Public Opin- ion. The two columns below show how firm attitudes of the people have remained since 1943. "Do you think it would be a good thing or a bad thing for Canada if farmers supported a particu- lar political party at election time?" No opinion .... 100 100 A significant fact is revealed in the report that among farmers themselves there is little' inclina- tion towards such a voting asso- ciation. Among these farm men and women, 27 per cent say "a good thing" 48 per cent say "not a good thing" and 25 per cent have no opinion. This compares closely with the national vote. The older Canadians grow, the more likely they are to dislike any suggestion for such a voting bloc. Exactly half of those Canadians who are fifty or over say 'a bad thing' compared to 42 per cent of those in their twenties.

OSHAWA'S GREAT DAY The great day for Oshawa which mar! the coming of the first railway train to the village was August 11, 1856. It was an occa- sion for much celebration, because it marked the opening of the line to this community, The first train was an excursion train, contain- ing leading citizens of Toronto. It was run to Whitby, where it made a halt, and then came on to Osh- awa. At Whitby, a procession led by a band and high school boys met the locomotive, which was decorated with flags and bumting bearing the Latin inscription "'For- tuna Sequitar' (Fortune will Fol- low), which the unfortunate school boys were required to translate. At Oshawa, there was a similar demonstration. Addresses were made by the leading citizens of the village, who no doubt expati- ated on the benefits which would accrue to the community by the advent of the railway, At that time, there were onl single tracks.

QUEEN'S PARK Frost Makes It Quite Emphatic Special Correspondent to by DON O'HEARN The Times-Gazette TORONTO--But how. could he? There was one further point to the question mentioned Thursday --the question of Mr. Frost sup- porting Mr. Drew. How could the premier say he was or he wasn't going to back the federal Conservatives. If he said yes, the federal Lib- erals could immediately accuse him of playing politics with tax agreements. And of course he couldn't say no. Nominally, at least, as head of the federal party Mr. Drew is his leader. NO OTTAWA One speculation firmly knocked in the head at the samt press con- ference was the recurring ques- tion of Mr. Frost himself going to Ottawa. J : Reporters asked him once again And once again he denied it--this time more emphatically than ever. Then he made the flat state ment: "This is my last assign- ment!" He could hardly be more posit- ive than that. ONLY TAL One minor, but important, as- pect of the federal tax controversy has been somewhat overlookec. This is on the rather curious status of the original proposals before the conference. These pro- posals were first presented to the conference of September last year. They were present as "talking points," a basis of discussion on which agreements might be work- ed out. But they were never dis- cussed. By the time the very brief ses- sion of this spring was held they had assumed the position, with one slight amendment, of the fed- eral "offer." And so they have re- mained. NOVEMBER SESSION It will probably be some little time yet before the final stage of these present tax agreements are completed--and before Mr. Frost's future policy on taxation is known. Last word from the premier is that it now looks like November before the fall session is held. At that time he will announce any tax changes, but probably not be- fore. The delay in the session is still the Supreme Court's marketin; decision whih now isn't expect until late September or October. MAC'S MUSINGS The lack of respect which Some people have for the Property of others was Revealed the other day, When directors of the Horticultural Society Found that several of the Rose bushes they plan On the plot at the subway On Simcoe street south . Had been rooted up and Stolen by some vandals. We would not like to Think that this was done By adults, whom one would Expect to have respect For the property of others, And especially for a Public project carried out By citizens interested in Beautifying the city. The lovely bed of roses . Has brought many comments On its beauty, but if Such depredations continue Before another season . There may be none of these Rose bushes left, and the Horticultural Society Would not be inclined to Plant another row, just To have them stolen. So it is very timely To make au appeal to Our citizens, young and Old, to respect what has Been done to beautify MENZIES TO VISIT OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minister Menzies of Australia will arrive here from New York Wednesday for a two-day visit en route home from the Commonwealth prime ministers' conference in London.

He said the troops had to march from one stretch of railway to another, and some- times had to ride on flat cars. WHITBY'S RAILWAY VENTURE The ambition to own a railway struck the town of Whitby in the early days of railroading. Through the energy of a group of leading citizens, $60,000 was contributed towards the construction of a line from Whitby to Port Perry. work on construction of this line was started on September 14, 1869, and the first sod was turned by HRH Prince Arthur of Con- naught, son of Queen Victor- ia, and later the Duke of aught. n further extensions were required, and more money was needed, the owners of the old lank road, who were inl ted the harbor and the railway, FOR BETTER HEALTH It May Help To Walk On A Sprained Ankle by Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. It may be better to walk on a sprained ankle than to immobi- lize it in a plaster cast for three to six weeks. It all depends, of course, on how bad the sprain is. And only your doctor can judge which method -- immobilization or ex- ercise -- is best for your par- ticular injury. Strictly speaking, a sprain con- sists of the of only a few fibers of a ligament, Most of the ligament remains intact. Different Treatment Should the ligament be com- a cure within five days, al some cases require three wee or even longer. DANGER OF ADHESIONS If the ankle is immobilized for any length of time, there's some danger of adhesions forming be- tween the ligament and the cap- sule. When walking is resumed, this might cause irritation which in turn can cause swelling of the joint and pain. As for preliminary treatment of a sprain -- before you can see your doctor -- administer cold applications. Cold, it seems, dim- inishes the amount of swelling pletely torn, the injury actually and is a rupture and needs much dif- ferent treatment than the minor injury. Even doctors, however, frequently refer to such a rupture as a severe sprain. And so a sprained ankle can be either a minor or serious injury.

However, the us- ual gwelling around the ankle joint sometimes makes it difficult for a docto to determine whether it's a sprain or fracture, Type of Sprain A little pressure above the area of the swelling usually answers the question. If a bone is broken the pain will be great. If not, it will be relatively slight. In this type of strain, and in most other minor sprains, I think your doctor will strap the ankle to give a feeling of support and to help curb swelling and then advise you to exercise the ankle by walking.
