- a lol 2 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE dublished by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, October 5, 1956 Political Parties In U.S. Both Against It has been almost traditional for Canadians to have a more sympathetic attitude towards the Democratic party in the United States than towards the Republican party. There has for dec- ades been a feeling that the Republi- cans favored high tariffs on products of other countries, including Canada, entering the United States. On the other hand, the Democrats were re- garded as being something of a "free trade" party, ready to open the doors of their country more widely than the Republicans to goods from this country. Hence the sympathy of most Canadians for the Democratic cause. In the present election campaign in the United States, however, it has been revealed that the two parties are on almost common ground in their desire to grant protection to American indus- tries against goods from Canada. The undesirable word "protection," of zourse, does not appear in the platform of either party, but the meaning of the platforms is quite plain. Even the Democratic party makes it plain that Freer Trade United States manufacturers who com- plain of unfair competition from other countries will find a ready and sym. pathetic hearing in Washington should it win the election. No matter which side wins, Canada's export trade with the United States will be in jeopardy. The wisdom \of this attitude could be debated at great length, both pro and con. But from a Canadian point of view, the practical result must be a retreat from the policy of trying to lead the United States along the path of freer international trade by means of unilateral tariff reductions and oth. er trade concessions. The United States, as is shown by the attitude of both political parties, is clearly not in the mood for freer trade with other countries, at the real or ima- ginary expense of her domestic manu- facturing industries. It would therefore be foolish for Canada to continue to extend tariff and other concessions to the U.S. without any hope of reiprocal concessions from her large and stub- born neighbor. Why Silence On Espionage? Ottawa has been the scene of ano- ther rather sensational espionage story involving at least one member of the staff of the Russian embassy in the Canadian capital. It has been revealed, months after it happened, that a Rus- sian embassy secretary has been re- turned to Moscow at the request of the Canadian government, because of his efforts to indulge in espionage in con- nection with Canada's C-105 jet fight- er plane. According to the reports, he cultivated the friendship of an em- ployee at the Rockcliffe airport, and tried to secure information of a secret nature from him. The employee was dismissed from his post, although he had revealed what the Russian was doing, and the embassy secretary was sent back to Russia. The one serious part of the whole story, however, is that it was kept en- tirely secret by the government at Ot- tawa. It is very likely that no official report would have been given regard- ing it had not a publication known as "The Canadian Intelligence Service," in its September issue, given full de- tails of the espionage attempt. This brought the matter out into the open, and forced the hand of an unwilling government, which only then confirm- ed the truth of the report. This espionage attempt took place in the early part of the year. It was reported to the government several months ago. It was in June that the withdrawal of the embassy secretary was requested by the government. In the same month, the employee from whom the secretary was trying to se- cure information was dismissed. Yet not a word about the matter was re- vealed by any department of the gov- ernment until after its hand was forc- ed by the publication of the story. One wonders if the story would ever have been made public had not the publication referred to printed it. One cannot condone this suppression of in- formation to which the people of Can- ada are entitled. One of the mistakes of government is to work on the as- sumption that the public should be in- formed on as little as possible. This is a very great error. It represents a de- parture from democratic government. No one will quarrel with the decision to send the Russian official home. But many pepole will question the govern- ment's course of trying to keep the whole matter a dark secret. Women Against Beer In Stores Two hundred women, delegates to a convention of the Women's Institutes of Northern Ontario, have spoken de- cisively against the proposal to have beer sold in the grocery stores of the province. They want no beer in grocery stores. They voted unanimously against it at their convention. This rather spikes the guns of those supporters of the proposal in southern Ontario who claimed that the campaign to have beer in grocery stores originated in the north. This vote of 200 women delegates to a Women's Institute Convention rep- resents a fairly substantial body of feminine opinion. As the representa- tives of their institutes spread all over Northern Ontario they carry the strength of considerably more than their 200 votes. They also carry more weight .than their numbers would sug- gest in their own homes and their own communities. Their view is a reasonable one.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JUNE "14150 22 Women have more to think about than carrying home beer with their grocer- jes for men who are too lazy to make a trip to the brewers' warehouse or pick up the telephone to order a home delivery. We have the idea, of course, that those who put forward publicly the idea that beer should be sold in groc- ery stores were flying a kite. They wanted to test public opinion on the subject. Their campaign, however, has died down almost entirely since Pre- mier Frost made it known that his government was entirely opposed to any such proposals. The women delegates to the North- ern Ontario convention have perform- ed a public service in expressing so unanimously their opposition to the grocery store beer sales proposition. We are strongly of the opinion that they were expressing the views of the great majority of the women of this province.

McINTYRE HOOD In spite of the very emphatic statement issued by Premier Les- lie M. Frost of Ontario that he is now available as a candidate for the leadership of the National Progressive Party, there is still considerable newspaper specula- tion as to the stand he will take when the nominating convention is held. There is still a move- ment on foot to draft him for that position, and those behind it are making a show of confi- dence that he will be willing to change his attitude when con- fronted with a draft notice of substantial proportions. We have no crystal ball into which we can look to foresee the events of the future, but we are quite satisfied that when the con- vention is all over, it will be some other politician, and not Mr. Frost, who will be the new party leader. We make the asser- tion after years of acquaintance- ship, we may even say friend- ship, with Mr. Frost. SELF-EFFACING YOUNG MAN Our first contacts with him date well back beyond the days when he was in active politics, when he and his late brother Cecil were partners in their Lindsay law of- fice. We knew him then as a member - of the Lindsay branch of the Canadian, as a quiet, rath- er self-effacing young man. As a matter of fact, he was in these days somewhat overshadowed by his brother Cecil, who was much more robust and vigorous than Leslie, and who was also a much more active political figure. We saw Leslie Frost come into the Ontario Legislature as a member of the opposition side of the house in 1937. From the first, he was a front bencher, and sat about three seats along from the opposition leader of that time, Hon. Leopold Macauley. He was not long, however, in making his mark on the house. He made himself popular with members on both sides. It was noted that he was not inclined, in his ecriti- cisms, to indulge in fiery attacks on the government, then headed by Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn. He left that to legislature veterans like the Hon. George S. Henry and Mr. Mcaulay. He had not learned the-art of speaking to the press gallery as these two more experienced members had done, LOGICAL DEBATER At the same time, he made a strong impression on the house as a quiet but forceful debater, not given to flights of oratory, but displaying a great deal of sound common-sense in what he had to say. His appeals were to the reason rather than to the emotions. The government side of the house listened to him with respect. After his speeches in the legislature, we often heard mem- bers of the cabinet comment on the soundness of "that chap Frost". But because of all this, he did not impress one with hav- ing the fighting qualities and vigor which seem to be attribut- es of a strong opposition leader. He has never, of course, been tested in that caacity, but that was the general impression re- jading him in those days. ARNED HIS SPURS When the Conservative party came into power in 1943, he had already won his spurs as a de- bater of more than ordinary he in the cabinet Pp provincial treasurer and minister of mines, and he at once showed his ability as an able admini- siraior. He was much more happy to be on the government benches than he was on the op- position side. This was not be- cause his rty was now in power, but ause of his per- sonal qualitites which found him much more capable in presenting the case for his departments than he was in making an attack om the government as an opposition ei bec: nce he ame premier of Ontario, we have Bd ay con- tacts with Mr. Frost. He has cer- tainlv increased tremendously in olitical statute since the days ack in 1937 when he was first elected as an opposition member, He still retains his quiet, logical and effective manner of s| or A a ure, he has ac a and knowledge of the antag Ontario in every department, possessed by few party leaders. NO FUTURE AT OTTAWA One reason why we do not be- lieve Mr. Frost will not allow himself to be drafted into the federal party leadership is that he believes it is his destiny to end his political career as prem- ier of Ontario. He is much hap- pier at the helm of affairs of the native province he knows so well than he would ever be at the head of a party destined to re- main in the opposition at Ottawa at least after the 1957 election which: is likely. There is not much of a future for a man of his years, occupying the position he does, and likely to occupy it as long as he feels able to do so, to give it up for the nebulous hopes of success in the federal field. He would be just another Don Quixote tilting at windmills. No, Mr. Frost is not going to allow himself to be placed in that position. He is going to leave well enough alone, and carry on administering the affairs of On- tario as long as the people of the Brovince give him a mandate to 0 so. OTTAWA REPORT Duke Builds Up Alberta Ranch By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA: The Duke of Windsor may make one of his rare public appearances in 'Canada, to head the galaxy of star guests at this month's dinner of the Moose Jaw Ranchers. Finance Minister Walter Harrris will be the guest speaker when the South West Saskatchewan Here- ford Association meets on the 26th of October. Lieutenant Governor W. J. Patterson will be a guest; 50 will Agriculture Minister Jimmy Gardiner. And several prominent American cattlemen will travel north for the occasion. An invitation has been sent to the Prairies' most famous new- comer to the ranks of Hereford ranchers--the Duke of Windsor. He has been invited as proprie- tor of the EP ranch near Cal- ry, which he has recently de- cided to rehabilitate by importing a complete herd of English thor- oughbred Hereford beef cattle. As tie will be visiting the EP ranch at the time, it is considered likely that he will be able to attend the festive evening in the Canadian Legion Hall at Moose Jaw This big-city guest table at the little-city party is being arranged by the politician who has himself been into most of the parties at Ottawa. He is, of course, that well known wheat farmer (40 bushels to the acre) and trail - blazing cattle-breeder (by enthusiasm. out of hardware) Ross Thatcher, MP., who is also a director of the Here- ford Association. SIGNIFICANT MEETING "There is much more to this roposed dinner than a mere even- ng of food and speeches,' Thatcher told me. "The signifi- cance lies in the cattlemen's wel- come to the duke as a newcomer to the Prairie ranching industry." Thatcher's appearance here this week, incidentally, coincided with the opening of the important Con- servative meeting. It led to the assumption among many here that he had changed his political alegi- ance again, and might even stand for the leadership in place of George Drew -- an assumption which Thatcher quickly denied al- though admitting that it was quite understandable. But with cattle rather than Con- servatives on his mind, Thatcher told me that Moose Jaw ranch- ers would welcome the duke; not on account of who he is so much as because he is importing a magnificent foreign herd, repre- senting a strain which is free from that scourge of the in-bred North American Hereford herds--dwarf- ism. The Americans have produced a showy, good-looking animal. But excessive in-breeding has intro- duced this new risk. The British have bred perhaps a less showy animal, but it bigger, it is stronger, and it never throws off dw calves. CREATES MARKET The problem of disposing of the Prairie wheat glut is closely tied in with the cattlemen's interest in the new British herd. Wheat farmers have found that when they cannot sell their har- vest as wheat, they can didpose of it as top quality beef. So they are swinging round to feeding their grain surplus to cattle. Especially in Saskatchewan, the cattle population of the Prairies is jumping up by leaps and bounds, says Thatcher. And this change is none too soon. It benefits not only farmers, but also. our economy as a whole. A few years ago, we produced so much beef that we could export sixty per cent of our supply to Britain, Last year our cattle popu- lation had fallen so low that it was insufficient for the home market, and we even had to buy beef from the States. If the Prairies will follow the lead being headlined by Moose Jaw by this month's ranchers' dinner, the resultant diversifica- tion will bring a more assured level of prosperity, Thatcher be- lieves. FOR BETTER HEALTH Use Care In Canning To Avoid Contamination By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Along about this time of the year, many homemakers are can- ring foods. Now I'm not going to advise you old-timers at canning how to go about it, but extreme care is es- sential in home canning to pre- vent contamination. Maybe even you veterans will benefit from these few tips. PRESERVING FOOD Canning is one of the most common methods of preserving food. It depends on the use of heat to destroy practically all bac- teria in the food being canned and on the halting of the oxygen sup- ply to prevent growth of any which might remain. The best way of doing this is the pressure cooker method. Such a cooker provides steam that is hot enough to destroy even the re- sistant Clostridium botulinum, a species of bacteria which can live without air. Food canned commercially is processed in pressure cookers and not a single case of botulism has been reported from commercially canned food in America since 1925 It's probably best to use the pressure cooker method for pro- cessing all meats and nonacid vegetables such as beans, corm, asparagus and peas. Processing them in a boiling water bath usually takes three to four times longer. The U.S. De partment of Agriculture has book- lets available giving the time and temperature needed for any method. But no matter how well you pre- pare - these foods for canning, I suggest that you boil them for five minutes immediately before eating. Don't even taste them uatil is done, As for nonacid vegetables which you want to eat cold or use in salads you can boil them and then refrigerate them. Acid fruits and vegetables such as rhubarb, tomatoes, berries and the like, can be processed safely by the boiling water bath method. Their acid, you see, prevents growth of disease-producing bac- teria, even Clostridium botuli- num. Applesauce, tomatoes, ketchup, sauerkraut and fruit juices can be pasteurized by placing them in hot jars which have been steri- lized by boiling and keeping them at a temperature of 165 to 180 de- grees for half an hour. QUESTION AND ANSWER G. R.: Can putting vitamins in the ice box destroy their potency? ' Answer: No, freezing usually preserves rather than harms them. Excessive heat can be detrimental to vitamins. Jailbird-Writer In Trouble Again MONTREAL (CP) Kenneth Lemieux, 38, of Ottawa, who wrote a published novel during a re- cently-completed five-year prison term was back before the court,. charged with passing two worth- less cheques. Preliminary hearing was set for Oct. 10, Lemieux was released from the St. Vincent-de-Paul Penitentiary recently after completing a term for passing worthless cheques. During his term he wrote Hickory House, an account of politicians and gamblers in a large city, un- der the name of Kenneth Orvis His lawyer said the novel is "'prov- ing quite successful and Lemieux is working on a second book. 35 YEARS AGO The first of Oshawa's three portable schools was under con- struction, the W. J. Trick Com- pany Limited having commenced work on the one adjacent to the High School. The two rooms when completed would accommo- date about eighty scholars and greatly relieve the overcrowding situation. The other two portable schools were to be erected at Al- bert Street School and in the north end. At a special meeting of the Township 'Council of East Whitby, Paul Purves, son of the late wi liam Purves was appointed town- ship clerk in succession to his father. The late Mr. Purves held the position of clerk for 41 years. The Championship of the Osh- awa Golf Club and the Cups do- nated by Col. R. S. McLaughlin were claimed by Robert Hender- son when the last eighteen holes were played in the championship games. omas Henderson, last year's champion, entered the games after the rest but was successful in catching up with his brother and ending up with the same score. However, it was impossible for one player to cap- ture two prizes, Thomas Hender- son waived his claim to the title and accepted the first handicap prize. H. W. Elliott, inspector of the Children's Aid Society for the County of Ontario was appointed to represent the Ontario Govern- ment at the Canadian Conference of Public Welfare, particularly the Children's section, which was held at Montreal. J. E. Carruthers and Mr. R McKinnon won the preliminary rounds and were scheduled to meet in the finals of the Men's open tournament at the Oshawa Tennis Club for the president's medal. The Harvest Thanksgiving of- fering taken up in Oshawa by the Salvation Army amounted to +$913.00, the most generous ever given by the citizens of the town. Staff Captain and Mrs. Kendall were in charge. MAC'S MUSINGS This coming weekend Is a time when all Canadians traditionally Are supposed to offer Heartfelt thanks for The very many blessings Which they have received From the hands of God. There is one blessing That most individuals Never seem to remember And that is the blessing Of still being alive, The blessing found in The fact that we have Passed through the year Without becoming victims Of fatal traffic accidents. Those who are reading This page should realize That they have been chosen To be spared from death On the broad highways And on the city streets, Although this year so far Several hundred people Have lost their lives In motor accidents In Ontario alone. Let us give thanks For our safety and Even for our lives By giving to all other Users of the highways All the breaks they need To avoid accidents. Our own lives and Our children's lives Depend more than ever On use of plain, decent, Commonsense consideration Of others on the streets And highways, especially This holiday weekend when The traffic will be heavy. COOL CATS COOLED PARIS (Reuters)--Rock 'n' roll fans from a night club in the Latin Quarter had cold water and garbage showered on them hy angry residents when they con- tinued their celebrations in the street with a three-piece band at 2 o'clock this morning. QUEEN'S PARK Store Definition Causes Trouble By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent te The Daily Times-Gazetie TORONTO: Strange all this dif- ference should he Twixt Tweedle- dum and Tweedledee! When is a grocery store a de- partment store? A rather unusual question which is becoming oddly pertinent to- day. CLOSING TROUBLES: Most municipalities are in trouble with the question of night store closing. They have to decide who can stay open and who can't. To do this they have to pass by-laws de- fining types of stores. A grocery store will be defined as one carrying on certain types of trade, and hardware stores, de- pi t stores etc. will have other definitions. d all stores coming under the definition in a permitted category are allowed to stay open. MIXED UP This has put one large grocery chain (no names, boy, watch those libel suits!) in a potenti- ally embarrassing position. In Windsor department stores have been trying to get sanction for night openings so there it classes its outlets as "department stores." But in Port Arthur grocery stores are under the wire so there its stores are "groceterias." 5 One presumably sells cans with beans and the other cans of beans. Windsor, incidentally, is appeal- ing the lower court decision or- dering it to permit the stores to remain open. It wants the Appeal Court to settle the problem--to let it worry about the groceries. MENTAL HOME Southwestern Ontario won't be getting its new mental hospital as soon as it--and some cabinet min- isters and members have thought. The question of its location is too touchy. The old case of making one community happy and a dozen others mad. Word is that location of the new ten million institution is up to the sonal ision of the premier: the file is on his desk and he is in no hurry to look at i PARK SPEEDING Hot-rodders who have found the new roads in some of our south- ern parks ideal speedways are going to be saddened. A new speed limit has been im- posed in all provincial parks ex- cept Quetico (which hasn't any roads). The limit is 25 miles an hour-- though not on King's Highways where the regular limit prevails. There also has been some doubt over O.P.P. jurisdiction in parks. That has been settled away. Pearkes Wants Thorough Review Of National Defence Department OTTAWA (CP)--Maj.-Gen. G.R. Pearkes, VC, has called for a thorough review of the top admin- istration in the defence depart- ment. The Progressive Conservative spokesman on military affairs said today in an interview that the chiefs of staff system should be overhauled. Under the present system, the chief of each of the three armed services is individually responsible to the civilian defence minister. There is a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff committee but he The Conservative member for Esquimalt - Saanich said recent statements by Lt.-Gen. Guy Si. monds, former army chief of staff, and Maj.-Gen. W. H. Macklin, retired army adjutant- eneral, indicate there is some- thing wrong in administration of the defence department. The whole question should be reviewed by a parliamentary committee or royal commission. Gen. Pearkes also said the de- fence department should elimin- ate the duplication which, he sald, exists in the services. has no defined r ibility. Gen. Pearkes suggested that there be an over-all chief of the services who would be the minis- ter's chief adviser or that the three chiefs be responsible for co- ordinating policy to present to the minister. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)-- The teacher in the first grades at Ralph Street school quickly called police today when she saw a six-year-old child slump over her desk. Police, a rescue squad and a doctor answered the emer- gency call. The doctor drove the child home to complete the examination and later re- ported nothing wrong with her.

Jerusalem passenger train was attacked during the t by rifle and machine-gun fire from across the Jordan border. The train em- gineer was the only casualty. The wounded man, hit in the leg by a ricocheting bullet, put on full speed and piloted the train for another six miles, until it reached Lydda. The incident occurred in the Israeli coastal plain about 35 miles south of Haifa. Persons aboard gave this account: Two rifle bullets first hit the train and machine-gun bursts fol- lowed, "all from the Jordan side of the border." The train con- ductor raced through the coaches, ordering the passengers to get down on the floor. There was no panic.
