THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe Se. South, Oshowa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, August 3, 1956 Will Weekend Holiday Toll Be As Extensive As Ever How many Ontario people will die in accidents before next Tuesday morn- ing? How many will be killed in motor vehicle accidents on the highways? How many will be drowned because of lack of care while holiday-making on the water? How many Oshawa people, those who are the readers of this col- umn, will be included in the usual long list of accident victims? This is a question which always comes to our minds on the eve of a long holiday weekend such as we are now entering. It is a natural question. It comes from the bitter experience of long lists of fatalities which appear in the columns of our newspapers on the Tuesday following a long holiday week- end. Will Ontario's toll of dead from motor and drowning accidents this weekend be 20, 80 or 40, and who will the victims be? : Time after time, on the eve of holi- days, we have published these mes- sages of warning. We do so in the hope that they will reach the minds of our Egypt To Seize Premier Nassar of Egypt has taken a bold step in retaliation for the action of Britain and the United States in re- fusing to lend substantial financial aid in the building of the great Asswan high dam on the River Nile. He has an- nounced nationalization of the Suez Canal Company, an international organ- ization with five countries, Britain, Egypt, the Netherlands, France and the United States, represented on its board of directors. He proposes to seize mot only the canal, but also the funds of the canal company in Egypt and elsewhere. and to use the proceeds to build the Asswan Dam. Stockholders of the com- pany, mostly French and English, he said, would be reimbursed at the pre- vailing price on the Paris Bourse, or stock exchange. This high-handed action by the Egyptian premier has, as would be ex- &-smgbed, aroused indignation and pro- test in the countries with a vital in- terest in the Suez canal. Since it was built as a private enterprise nearly 100 friends, the people of Oshawa. and arouse in them the determination to act so carefully and cautiously as to make sure that they, at least, will not be included in the list of victims. The people of Oshawa are close to our heart, and we would like to think that all of them who are going on holiday trips for the weekend will return safe and sound, and benefitted by their weekend outing. There is only one way in which they can be sure of this. That is to drive with the utmost of regard for the laws of traffic safety, so that even if some other driver acts recklessly and care- lessly, they will be able to stay clear of a tragic accident. And for those who will be swimming, boating or fishing over the weekend, it is good to take every precaution against the hazard of drowning. By care and thought for their own safety and that of others, we are sure that all our Oshawa folk will come back without accident. And that will make it a happy holiday for all of us. Suez Canal years ago -- construction was started in 1859 -- the canal has always been in the hands of an international company. Foreign capital built it. Officers of the company have managed it. It is. indi- cated that Nassar's move to seize it will be regarded as a flagrant violation of international law. In spite of all the protests that can be made by the nations involved in ownership of the canal, there is nothing that can be done about it if Nassar re- mains adamant. There have been pre- vious similar situations. The situation is very much like that which arose when the Iran government decided to nation- alize the oil wells and properties of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. In spite of all that Britain could do about it, that deal went through. So while there can be no reason for condoning Nassar's action, it will be interesting to see whether any kind of protests and de- nunciations or other action short of force can be effective in halting it. Agricultural Extension Work In a statement issued after a meeting of its board of directors at Port Arthur, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture calls attention to the growing impact of science and technology on farming in this country. It made strong recom- mendations for improvements in and expansion of the present research and extension programs at agricultural col- leges and universities. One paragraph of the statement seemed to us to have a special applica- tion to the rovince of Ontario. It reads as follows: "Agricultural extension, centered at eolleges and faculties of agriculture, needs to be greatly expanded so that the work of bringing instruction in new knowledge about agriculture to farmers can be closely associated with program of teach- ing and research." We have picked out this item for special attention because Ontario is one of the few jurisdictions in Canada and the United States which does not have its program of agricultural exten- sion centered on its provincial agricult- ural college. In the United States, all extension work is centered on the state agricultural colleges and universities. In the other provinces of Canada, opera- Bible Thoughts Pray for the day when no one shall strive to enslave and dominate fellow mortals. We are promised such a day.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JUNE 14,150 tion of the extension service is one of the functions of the faculties of agri- culture, We can recall that back in 1945, a special committee was set up by the then Minister of Agriculture, Hon. T. L. Kennedy, to recommend a new system of government for the OAC at Guelph.. This committee made exhaustive studies. It travelled to the United States to investigate methods there. It con- ducted studies of the systems in other Canadian provinces. It was prepared to recomimend two things, first that the OAC be divorced from the department of agriculture and administered by an independent board of governors, and second, that the extension services, in- cluding agricultural representatives, be operated through the OAC and not the department of agriculture. But the committee's work ended there. For reasons of political patron- age, more than anything else, the rec- ommendations were not even consider- ed. The committee died a premature and unnatural death. So, after the passing of years, it is interesting to note the views of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture on the same subject. Editorial Notes One time when it is not wise to make ends meet is when the front end of your car meets the rear end of the one ahead of it, One good thing that can be said about fishing is that it drives all thought of anything else from the ang- ler's mind. Peterborough has had a complete year without a traffic fatality. Our congratulations go to the motorists of our neighboring city.

"THE BIGGER THEY ARE...." Mayor Goes To Mat With Press; Fourth Estate Remain Champs READING, Pa. (AP) -- "Good morning gentlemen," said the mayor of Reading to reporters covering city council. With that crisp greeting, Mayor Daniel F, McDevitt Wednesday ended 'his three-week feud with Reading's daily newspapers. On July 9, Mayor McDevitt had the press table removed from city council. A reporter was ordered arrested for allegedly creating a disturbance by having his picture taken with a typewriter on his knee in front of city hall. The de- livery trucks of both the Reading Times and Eagle were tagged by lice for unloading at the same ocations they had stopped every day for many years. The mayor charged the newspapers with yel- low journalism. City editor Richard Peters of The Times said he believed the mayor's attack was the result of newspaper articles which led to raids by U.S, treasury agents in which they seized pin ball ma- chines at a tavern operated by the mayor's brother. The arrested reporter, Charles Kessler, was released and the case' dismissed after the city ad- mitted there were no proper charges. All the parking tickets were rescinded when the city so- licitor ruled there were no viola- tions under.a state law which per- mits Joading and unloading, The mayor made no advance announcement that the dispute was ended. Reporters found their press table back in city council for the first time in three weeks, Reasons Why Canadians Are Eating More Beef (Financial Post) A short item in a western farm paper points ous that Canada fis now a net importer of beef. For over a year we have brought into this country more beef or beef cattle than we have shipped out. The difference is not great and 'a few carloads could swing the trade in our favor again. But the frend is unmistakable. This country is fast approaching the position if it has not already reached it, where the domestic market is all impor- tant so far as beef is concerned. That represents a tremendous change from only a few years back. Then, unless we had a sub- stantial export market, the indus- try was in a slump. For more than a decade between the two world wars, beef prices in Canada were the lowest in 25 years, simply because during that time tariffs and embargoes kept our surplus cattle out of both Britain and the United States. To keep the Canadian cattle market firm we needed an annual exports for at least a quarter of a million head. Even a few years ago when the American market was closed because of the foot and mouth disease outbreak here the shut-down of a relatively modest export threatened to undermine prices. Now that is all changed. We are producing more beef than ever before but we are eating all of it ourselves. Cattle are coming on the Canadian market at the rate of around 33,000 a week and Cana- dians are consuming them all. Be- fore the war whenever the weekly run approached the 20,000 mark or less than two-thirds of today, prices began to sdf. There are two reasons why we are eating more beef -- more pros- perity and more people. Princess Grace To Give Heir To Ranier MONTE CARLO, Monaco (AP) Princess Grace of Monaco is going to have a baby in Febru- ary, the palace announced today. The princess, actress Grace Kelly of Philadelphia, was mar- ried to Prince Rainier III of Mon- aco in ceremonies here April 1 and 19. By the terms of a treaty with France, this principality on the Mediterranian becomes subject to French taxes, and its men to the French draft, if Rainier dies with- out an heir. Today's announcement said: "His serene Highness Prince Rainier III, prince sovereign of Monaco, announced today in a broadcast message to his people that Her Sereme Highness, Prin- cess Grace, is expecting a baby to be born in the month of Febru- ary. "Following this announcement, the prince pointed out the capital importance of the plans and proj. ects for the future economic de- velopment of the principality in the light of this rejoicing news."

New York, for instance, has banned the blowing of horns in the main area, while other big cities have taken somewhat sim- ilar action. But Owen Sound, and, we suppose, any other community has innumerable trucks which crash through residential areas in the dead of night, or any other time, motorcycles that roar by, youth-driven cars which tear about corners, with screeching tires and roaring motors and several other forms of unearthly noises. A truck does not need to be very large to create- a sleep-breaking racket if it has a couple of shovels or other metal objects bouncing about loose in its metal rack. The bigger the truck, of course, the greater the noise if things are allowed to bang around. In addi- tion a good big truck travelling at high rate of speed does a good job of shaking a home, rattling win- dows and generally créating the impression of an earthquake. Many truck drivers, probably to add to the earthquake impression, roar the heavy motors of their trucks, particularly in the dead of night. Trailers, being drawn light, are another form of pleasant mid- night (or any other time) racket. Acbually horns, except when a whole bunch of them get togethe in a wedding parade, are a minor form of noise compared to many others inflicted on the general citi- zenty at all hours of the day and night.
