Pubitvhed by Times Goxette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Page & Tuesday, September 4, 1956 -- Voice Of Ordinary People Ignored By Their Leaders It can be. taken for a certainty that the ordinary citizens of Canada are vidlently opposed to war. The same, we believe to be true of the people of the United States, Britain and the oth- er free countries of the world. Now we are being told that the ordinary folks in Russia are of exactly the same mind. This information comes from the Rt. Rev. George Dorey, Moderator of the United Church of Canada. Dr. Dorey has recently returned from a visit to Moscow and Leningrad. From his ob- servations, he is convinced that the or- dinary Russian wants only peace. If he had the choice, of a.erage working citizens of Russia would never launch a war, says Dr. Dorey. We believe that this feeling is uni- versal among the rank and file of citi- zens of any country, because they are the people who bear the brunt and make the greatest sacrifices in all wars, Yet in spite of this, the record of his- tory shows that wars have come and gone at regular intervals for cénturies. And there is still hovering before us the spectre of another war which might come in spite of the fact that the ordi- nary people do not want it. This would make it appear that wars must be brought about by extraordi- nary people in places of authority whose policies do not reflect the de- sires of the people they rule. This sug- gests that perhaps we should have more of the ordinary peace-loving folks in government. One cannot accept the theory that government leaders follow the wishes of the people in all matters. They govern and administer not as the people would desire, bui rather as they think the people ought to be governed, Unfortunately, in Russia the situation is that the ordinary people are governed solely by the will of those in power, with no opportunity to make their voices heard effectively. If the ordinary people are ever to make their will paramount in matters of war and peace, this must begin in a country which provides freedom of ex- pression. It might be well if Canadians did some deep thinking on *"'a point. Eisenhower Is Likely Winner This week the two rival parties in the United States presidential election, will be starting off on the campaign culminate in the voting in e first week of November. The lines are clearly drawn, with President Eis- enhower the candidate for the Republi- can party and Adlai Stevenson the stan- dard-bearer for the Democrats. The same two men as contested the 1952 election are again opposing each other in the campaign for the highest office in the United States. Looking at the situation from this distance, and from a study of the vari- ous polls which have been made by pub- lic opinion agencies on the election prospects of the two parties, it would seem almost certain that President Eis- enhower will be re-elected. Apparently the question of the state of his health has been disposed of by the vigor he has been showing lately, and by his appearance at the Republican National Convention. It is not likely that this will question will play as large a part as was expected in the decision of the elec tors. While the Democratic party will be anxious to fight the campaign on the issue of the government record of the past four years, the great personal popularity of Eisenhower will be a much more decisive factor in the elec- tion than amy political issues. Recent Gallup polls indicate that he still holds a great preponderance of popular fav- or, and it seems like an impossible task for the opposition candidate to over- come this between now and the begin- ning of November. Of course, public favor can be a fic- kle thing. This was demonstrated in 1948 when President Truman won a surprise victory over Governor Dewey in an election in which Truman was not conceded .a chance of victory. But we still feel it is expecting too much to give Adlai Stevenson much chance of unseating the present president. Snarled U.S. Customs Tangle "Customs simplification," the great "hope of exporters who seek to enlarge their markets in the United States, doesn't seem to have made much head- way in the session of the U.S. Congress just ended. True, Congress did pass and the President approve legislation known as The Customs Simplification Act of 1956. The avowed purpose of the legis- lation was to minimize the confusion and delay in the valuation of imports. Unfortunately for Canadians and oth- ers who would like to sell in the U.S. market, the Customs Simplification Act is not so simple as it sounds. In the first place, the new legislation does not come into force until some time in 1957. Worse still, it confers upon *U.S. customs -authorities extra- Editorial Notes The Liberal party in Quebec has a new leader.

Worry rather than characterises, the deep thinking given here to the Suez Canal crisis. Yet although we are only on the sidelines of this big inter- national fray, we may find a sil- ver lining to the dark cloud which threatens European prosperity and even world peace. U.S. Foreign Secretary Dulles, a self-confessed flirter on the brink of war, is the nigger in this trouble-pile. First he precipitated Cgypt's seizure of the canal by withdrawing his country's offer -of financial help in building the As- wan dam in Egypt. Then he ex- erted pressure on Britain and France not to use military force to preserve the international trus- teeship of the vital waterway. In this, he was more cautious in the face of the Democrats' threats in 1956 than in the face of the Krem- lin's threats in the three pre- optimism * vious years. The 'national socialization' of the canal is shaping up as a blood- less victory for Nasser. Its suc- cess will make other and lesser Arab governments feel safe sim- ilarly to "nationalize" properties in their territory. If Nasser can with impunity steal the canal from the powerful Western interests which developed and own it--those other Arabs will reason then they likewise could steal the oil- fields and oil pipelines which Western interests have developed in their lands Prompting and encouraging such a step, needless to say, will be the masters of the Kremlin Communism, they have always believed, can conquer other coun tries better through one Fifth Col umn sapping from within, 'han through four columns attacking from without.

The resulting unemploy- ment, poverty and hunger would create a tailor-made opportunity for Communist agitators. NON-RESISTANCE As the West has rejected the use of force, even in that ex- treme we would be barred from resistance. The alternative would be war against a united Arak world, with the certainty that it would lead to an atomic world war How then could the West re- trieve the situation, if events should deteriorate to the point where Europe's supply of Middle East oil were diverted elsewhere ~perhaps to Russia? The Mideast today produces only one-fifth of the world's yearly supply of oil. But its reserves are sufficient to last 120 years, or 10 times as long as the reserves in the world's other producing oil- fields This is where Canada glimpse the silver lining to the black clouds. Enormous unmeas- ured reserves of oil are known to lie in our North, on the banks of the Athabaska River. 'There, the tar sands are estimated to con- tain as much oil as is now known to exist in all producing oil fields in the whole world. The only prob- lem is how to separate it from the sand, and how te ship it to distant markets at competitive prices If the competition of the Middle East were removed, Canada would "become Furope's filling station A huge new industry would be born, Pipelines would be built-- without parliamentary crises --to carry the Athabaskan oil to ports in B.C,, on Hudson Bay, and on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

McINTYRE HOOD When we started off on our trip east on the Highways No. 401 and 2, there was one particular fea- ture to which we were looking for- avard. That was the opportunity of seeing at first hand the progress of the gigantic operations involved in building the St. Lawrence Waterway and power development. We had heard and read so much about what was being done in transplanting old communities and creating new ones to take care of the urban areas which will be flooded when the project is com- pleted that we were keen to nave a look '¥t-what was going on. We were not disappointed. As we drove eastward on Highway No. 2, slowing up and stopping at certain points, we were en a very clear idea of the immensity of the job that is being undertaken. We saw the landscape literally being torn apart to provide the new navigation channels which will en- able large ocean - going vessels to come up into the Great Lakes, possibly to Oshawa. COVERS LARGE AREA Work on the "project is being carried out in well - defined sec tions covering a large area. The first indications of the work were seen at a point which is about 40 miles upriver from where the giant powerhouse will be located. Near the village of Cardinal, one of the largest sections of the project was noticeable, the digging of &n en- tirely new river channel fhrough the lengiii of Galop Island. Here a great mass of heavy equipment was at work pushing the earth around, creating new land while at the same time cutting out the deep channel. This and other important channel enlargements will not QUEEN'S PARK ect only make upbound passage easy for seaway shipping, but will give engineers in charge of the powe. development greater control of the mighty St. Lawrence, TO SLOW UP RIVER The creation of this new river channel will also have the effect of spreading the flow of 'the river over a wider area, and wi'l slow it down to a considerable extent. Some idea of the size aad impor- tance of the Galop Island part of the project is seen in the fac: that it is costing $35 million. The major contract calls for the excavatic of 14 million cubic yards of eaith® and other material and more than 1,200,000 yards of rock. When it is completed, the channel will be 1250 feet in width, and will cut through not only Galop Island but alse smaller nearby islands, named Tick, Scars and Dixon. From the highway, one could see the huge mounds of earth thrown up in the excavation. At one point, we drove along the new highway which has been built in preparation for flooding of the present one. BUILDING NEW TOWNS Another interesting part of the development which we noted waz the creation of new towns and sections of towns to replace those areas which will be completely under water. On high ground to the north of the present village of Iroquois, although still within its corporate limits, we saw the be- ginnings of the new town, with new roads, new homes and other build- ings already in place. The main section of Iroquois will be com pletely flooded, and the village moved to the higher ground orth of the lake which will be created hy the power dam. Already many homes have been moved, and many new homes have been built Only vart of Morrisburg will re flooded, so part of that town wil remain as it is. Provision for hous ing the residents and businesses ir the flooded area has been made by the ~reation of a new section also within the town limits. Here s complete nw business section u being created, facilities such as churches, schools, and a new town hall built. This work, as we as the building of new roads ir already well advanced. We did not leave the highway to visit the two entirely new town: which are being built. Town No. ? will be an entirely new commu nity, combining the present popu lation of the hamlets of Aultsville Farran's Point, Dickinson's Land. ing and Wales. New Town No, will replace the present urbar communities of Moulinette and Mille Roches, which will complete ly disappear under the water. Bui we saw the loads built to lead *¢ these new towns. INTERESTING SIGMS One thing that interested us was that each building carried a meta' sign, carrying .letter and figure symbols, which probably neant something to the engineers in charge of the project. Whether if was a home, a barn, or a store, or merely a tourist cabin, these signs appeared on dvery building, and they were probably the key to the final disposition of property on which the - appe A Perhaps, 'in the files of the Hydro: Electric Power Conmimission of On. tario, there are figures and lot- ters corresponding to every me ol these signs, to let the engineers know what was to be the fate of the building and the amount eof compensation to be paid the own. er, And we could not help thinking what a stupendous task it must have been to list and tabulate all the information necessary in order to satisfy the Jeonte whose whole lives will be affected by the build. ing of the waterway and power de- velopment, Demand For Trees Exceeds Supply By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO-If you want nursery trees from Lands and Forests bet- ter get your order in now. One of the most popular things the government does is distribute these . trees to small land-holders. They used to be free, but even since a charge was put on a few years ago, popularity has contin- ued to grow. The department can't keep up to the demand, and so its advice is to get in your orders for next year now Any owner of a parcel of land of two acres or more may obtain trees for establishing, replenish- ing or enlarging a 'wood' or "shelter belt." Forms may. be secured from the Department of Lands and For- ests, reforestation branch, here in Toronto, or from your district forester's office.

A word of praise for Magistrate Fred Thompson, of Toronto. Mag- istrate Fred has taken an enlight- ened step in the administration of justice. /Convicting a man on a minor charge he sentenced him to six days in jail--to be spent at night! The man was allowed to con- tinue at his job, but was ordered to check in at the jail every night and be locked up until morning. Magistrate Thompson's ap- proach points up how hackneyed our magisterial system can be through the province. There are a few enlightened magistrates who have thought for themselves and been responsible for some innovations.

BUNDESEN, MD That old American standby, the coffee break, might be a health help if it is just taken in modera- tion. While most of us drink coffee simply because we enjoy it, there are other reasons for consuming this beverage. For instance, two cups of heav- ily roasted coffee contain your daily requirement of the vitamin niacin, KEY DEFECT Niacin is one of the B vitamins. A deficiency of it is the key nutri- tional defect in the human disease pellagra, once a serious problem. Chemical and bacterial tests, conducted about ten years ago, showed that an average cup of coffee contained about one-tenth of the minimum daily requirement of niacin, Recently, Dr. L. J. Teply, of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foun- dation, revealed that heavy roast- ing, as practiced to some extent commercially, brings the niacin fevel to nearly .05 per cent. That's about five times the niacin content of the roasted coffees most widely used in the United States.
