The Chest has proved the ideal method of collecting funds for social and welfare organizations because it combines the needs of 17 of them, each filling its own place in the life of the commu nity ,in a single campaign, Thus, at one stroke, all the funds required to maintain the services they provide for the people of Oshawa, are assured In the 1956 campaign, which opens officially next week, the objective net is $130,000. This is exactly the same as for the campaign of a year ago, It is encouraging to review what happen ed in the 10556 campaign, because il indicates that the chest executive can look forward with confidence to the result of the 1956 drive. A year ago, it will be recalled, the General Motors strike was in full swing, and no can vass was possible in that huge In dustry, with its 10,000 local employees, In spite of that unfortunate oifeum stance, The amount raised came within $3,000 of reaching the ahjective of $130,000, That was a gieal reflected the high level of tha publie spirit of the poopie ab BRS Soa iity achiovement, 1% with all the Oshawa 4 i going ab (WH This dustiies yoeal speed, and the city enjoying & FATES WSARWIS WE jive perity, the WILK e ahoubt be felt well behind. by the me he GRIPRigH 1a over It sf ba ramebated By ByVal citizen that 88 BAN N W A the Communily CREE WB Aahihe resents the wiv (1) STLTREENR THER SAY the 17 woriny ab AWE fave Ovgaile Wa 5 A A for the next year.

Thus does The Ottawa up the current application of the rail- ways to the Board of Transport Com- missioners for a freight rate increase. With so commonsense and realistic a view few will quarrel. The present freight rate increase ap- plication is the direct result of last spring's multi-million dollar settlement of the wage demands of the non-operat- ing unions. While the 15 per cent in- crease in freight rates now sought will not meet the increase in the railways' wage bill in its entirety, it represents the bare minimum on which the rail- ways can be assured of sufficient re- wenue to operate efficiently and meet the growing demand for rail transport Journal size gervice arising from the rapid expan- gion of the Canadian economy. Instead of grumbling about the railways' decision to seek higher fre- ight rates at this time, it would make a lot more sense if public attention were directed towards the obstacles which certain rail unions seek to put in the way of the railways' efforts to cut costs. A case in point is the stand taken by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen against the pro- posal that firemen be eliminated from diesel locomotives and be given other "useful" railway employment. If this proposal, now under consideration by a Federal Conciliation Board, were adopted, the wage costs of one railway alone, when dieselization is complete, would be cut by $10.7 million a year. This would be $10.7 million which the public would not have to be asked to pay in higher freight rates at = later date. Russia's Auto Export Drive A new source of competition for the automobile industry of Canada looms up as a result of the terms of the federal government's most-favored na- tion trade agreement with the Krem- lin. If the Soviet Union takes it into its head to exploit to the full the privileges which have been granted to it under the terms of that agreement, we may be having a flood of Russian cars coming into this country. According to a recent report from Moscow in the New York ¥Wimes, the Soviet Union is making a vigorous drive in western Europe to increase its exports of automobiles, Even with stiff competition from the German Volks- wagen, the Russian sales drive is meet- ing with considerable success. In Nor- way, for instance, sales of the Russian- made Pobeda automobiles exceea those of any other vehicles imported into that country. Money, it is said, has no smell.

It can be taken for granted that they will do so. Russia would not only like to increase its automobile exports by making a formidable entry into the United Siates and Canadian markets, Its leaders would live to have the oppor- tunity of trying to weaken the position of the automobile industries of Can- ada and other western countries. Since these industries are essential to de- fence, that is a forgone conclusion. We can, however, take some comfort from the fact that Russian-made auto- mobiles are not likely to have much ap- peal for the Canadian public. But it would be ironic if the new trade.agree- ment the government has negotiated with Russia opened the door to them. The Volkswagon has already made in- roads into the Canadian automobile market. Why not the Russian Pobeda ? Editorial Notes Italian socialists describe national lotteries as a "tax on imbeciles." We give them credit for highly appropriate phraseology.

By an overwhelming major- ity, voters of the country do not think the time has yet come when this country should do away with Adlai the draft. 2. On the other hand, the pub- lic is in agreement with Mr. Stevenson that future manpower needs should be geared to a QUEEN'S PARK Credit Causing Serious Concern By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO -- Credit is causing concern here. The problem of the province borrowing money for capital pro- jects appears to be approaching a critical point. This, of course, has been a worry for some months. But now the worry is more serious--or at least the talk is Both Premier Frost and Treas- urer Dana Porter have had a lot to say about it ENOUGH MONEY The problem isn't absolutely one of money. There is money avail able for borrowing. But it is a question of money being available that can be bor- rowed at a reasonable rate. The federal government's credit policies have been driving the in- terest rate up and it is costing the province much more to bor- row than it did'a year ago. With interest and reduction charges spread over years ahead this means it is driving up the cost of running the province. HOW IMPORTANT Looking at it from here it is not easy to say just how serious the situaiton is so far as Ontario is concerned. Mr. Frost naturally is usingi t as a weapon in his tax contro- versy with Ottawa. And thus when he says, as he relatively small, but highly skill- ed defence force, ready to strike with the powerful new weapons of war. The Democratic standard-bear- er, at a "Bean Feed" in Minne- apolis recently, reiterated his two previously submitted proposals for re-study of the draft and for suspension of H-Bomb tests as steps toward world disarmament. Mr. Stevenson said: "We may very well find that in the not too distant future we can abolish the draft and at the same time have a stronger defence and at lower cost." Mr. Stevenson made it clear that he was not advocating aboli- tion of the draft right now, but he insisted that the matter should be ipen for discussion and that "we should look forward to a time when we can do away with compulsory military service." President Eisenhower has dis- missed both proposals. In today's survey, Institute re- porters asked a carefully select- ed cross - section of voters from Maine to California: "Do you think the time has come when this country should do away with the draft or not?" DO AWAY WITH DRAFT NOW? Pet.

The propaganda aspect has to be kept in mind. But along with this there is no doubt that the financing positifn of the province is getting much more difficult; and that together wih evetrything else in the finan- cial wrangle Ottawa doesn't ap- pear to much care what happens to Ontario. MEETING OFF The Ontario Progressive Con- servative Association has called off its annual meeting. The official statement said it was "impractical" to hold the meeting with the national conven- tion scheduled for December. What it might have said was that the provincial executive did not see much point in holding a meeting which was bound to be little more than a lobbying ground for national leadership candidates. There would be nothing to gain, and possible dissension left in the wake of the campaigning. Also, of course, there was little reaso for holding the meeting at all. Its only reason for scheduling this year's was to avoid criticism. And it was glad for the excuse to call it off. GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Why Does Th e Doctor Perform These Actions By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN MD While the witch doctor of dark Africa may cavort around his patient in weird, meaningless dances, the modern physician has a reason for every action he performs in the course of a phy- sical examination. Many of you, however, un- doubtedly wonder what on earth a doctor can learn simply by tap- ping your chest with his fingers, listening with his stethoscope, taking your pulse or peering into your eyes Let's say that you go to your doctor for a heart examination. TAPS CHEST One of the first things he prob- ably will do will be to tap your chest at various points. He does it to determine the size of your heart. It's based on the same principle that you use when you tap a wall to find the studs. When the doctor taps the part of your chest occupied by the air-filled lungs, he hears a clear sound. But tapping over the dense mus- cle of the heart produces a dull and flat sound With the aid of his stethoscope, he can listen to the noise your heart mal as the valves open and close I'hese sounds often tell him whether the valves are functioning properly, whether you were born with a defective heart and other things that might be amiss. The doctor can find out a lot about your heart simply by taking your wrist in his hand. He feels the radial artery to see how the heart is pumping blood through the arteries. He can tell whether your pulse is weak or strong, fast or slow or is regular or irregular in rhythm. The rhythm of vour pulse reflects the rhythm of vour heartbeat, When the doctor looks into your eyes, he also is checking your heart and your blood vessels. With the aid of a bright light he peers at the tiny blood vessels in the back of your eyes. Many simes the condition of these ves- sels gives him a clue to impor- tant changes that may have oc- curred in your circulatory sy- stem, As you can see, a doctor can tell a lot about your insides from the outside. QUESTION AND ANSWER KE I have little yellow growths on my eyelids. What are they and is it possible to have them removed? Answer: These. little growths are probably fatty growths known as xanthoma palperbrarum. Usu- ally, they may be removed by the use of an electric needle or by surgery. MAC'S MEDITATIONS Speculations Coming Election By M. MCINTYRE HOOD One can sense from the tenor of the proceedings at meetings of he Oshawa city council, that the next municipal election is not too far away. More and more the comments of the aldermen are being directed at the ears of the electors, in the expectation of making an impression on them that will last until election day. That is natural. Those who are serving their fellow - citizens on ublic bodies are perfectly right n making their views known as forcibly as possible on every pos- sible occasion. Only In this way can the electors form intelligent opinions as to which aldermen and Other office - holders merit their support, As we look forward to this ear's election, we note that there s a certain hiatus in the an- nouncing of their intentions by members of the city council, Un- der the circumstances which pre- vail this year, that is quite under- standable. There are still too many "ifs" in the situation for any of the aldermen to come out with a clear - cut state of what he or she -- Intends to do in the election for the 1957 city coun- el This year, the whole complex- fon of the municipal election de- ends on the decision of one man. hat man is Mayor W. John Naylor. Mayor Naylor held that office in 1953 and 1954. He was out of public life in 1955, but came back again to occupy the mayor's chair for 1956. The ques- OTTAWA REPORT Why Restaurants Are Not Popular By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA--I meekly observed the opening of Restaurant Month by taking my family out to sup- per, at the posh and highly touted eatery attached to a big motel on the city's outskirts. I did this with some trepidation, in view of the comment of my friend Leo Dolan, chief of Canada's tourist bureau, that Ottawa's restaurants are the least reason . why tourists come here. We reserved a table for 6 o'clock arriving promptly, I was reas- sured to see Leo actually sitting at another table. I was further re- assured to notice a framed "Award of Merit" of the Cana- dian Restaurant Association, made to this hostelry for its offerings in the category of "practical (sic) baked goods and deserts (sie). Appropriately, our table was a desert until 6:45, at which time our starter ultimately arrived-- after prompting of the hostess by myself. Later, my two young chil- dren became understandably rest- less, sitting in front of their empty MAC'S MUSINGS meat plates for 40 minutes; in the end we could not wait for our last course of baked goods, pratical ph or otherwise. The other evening at the Plowing Match banquet We heard a lovely choir Of junior farmers and Junior institute members Present a fine program Of musical selections Which charmed the huge Audience at that event. These young people were There as entertainers Because two or three Years ago they expressed A desire to have a choir And secured a leader Who has done a splendid Job of developing their Talents for singing. All of the 1200 people Who heard them sing at The banquet were deeply Impressed by the high Quality of their voices And their ability to use Their interpretations Of beautiful music. One cannot commend too Highly these young folk From Ontario county farms Who have devoted much Of their leisure time to Development of a choir Which has set for itself High standards, and has Proven that mich pleasure Can be derived from This kind of activityl Rural folk to a large Extent have to provide Their own entertainment And recreation, and These young people have Certainly done well in The role they have chosen. Ask Council To Back Plan By WILLIAM N, OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) The United Nations Security Coun- cil was called on today to approve six principles on which Britain, France and Egypt have agreed as a basis for settlement of their Suez Canal dispute. The council was expected to give unanimous endorsement to a resolution being drafted by Britain and France, but there were signs a long debate might precede the vote. Agreement on the six principles was reported to the council in a two-hour secret session Friday night. They called for freedom of navigation, respect for Egyptian sovereignty, insulation of the canal from national politics, fix- ing of tolls by agreement between Egypt and users nations, use of a fair part of the dues for canal improvement and arbitration of any disputes between Egypt and the expropriated Suez Canal Com- pany President television interview in Eisenhower, on a Washing- ton, hailed the development as "most gratifying." He said it looked as though "a very great crisis is behind wus.'

On tion on which the whole of the 1957 election hinges is whether or not he will be a candidate for the mayoraity. So far, he has kept his counsel on the matter, and he alone can answer that question. On his answer, however, depends how the eandidates for city council office will line up when the December election comes along. Should Mever Naylor decide to stand for the mayoralty for 1957, there is every likelihood that he will be elected by ac- clamation. We doubt if any of the present ::ambers of council would consider opposing Mayor Naylor in a mayoralty contest. We would probably 'see all of them quite content to stand for re-election to their present ald- ermanic posts, Without trying in any way to forsee what Mayor Naylor will do, and without trying in any way to prejudice his position, it should be pointed out that he is the CCF candidate for the next federal general election, to be held In 1957" and probably in June. As a means of keeping himself prominently before the public, he mizht decide to stand for re-election as mayor. There is a good precedent for such action. When Michael Starr, MP, was mayor of Oshawa, he stood for eleciion to the provia- cial legislature. He was defeated in that contest. In the next muni- eipal electicn, he again was = candidate for the mayoralty, & was re-elected, and in the 3 of the following year became candidate for the House of mons. He was successful in federal election in that year, continued to serve as mayor g the year was completed. Th & would seem to set a preced for Mayor Naylor to again be contender for the highest nicipal office, and still go on run as candidate in the 1957 eral election. ' If, however, Mayor Na) Should decide not to contest ti mayoralty for next year, the fie would be left wide open, a1 quite a scramble for the mayor chair might develop in the ele tion.

The latter took the somewhat uncon- ventional form ot a mimeographed press release, distributed through the Press Gallery here and mark "Not to be released until 11 a.m. October 4th." The recipient broke that deadline by 12 hours. All the letters were somewhat acid comments upon those news- paper remarks concerning the re- spective ministers. Each paper showedi ts fairness by publishing the ministers' letters in full. Ministers are just as fair. This column, which is as quick to bat a brick | 8 to polish an apple, rec- ently received from a cabinet minister this note: "Many thanks indeed . . . it was good of you to write as you did." TRADE ANXIETY Our trade deficit with the United States is reaching' record and alarming proportions this year, in the opinion of many economists ere. The prime minister has an- nounced that he is not at all wor- ried about it. On the contrary, he our sound position. In 'this, he appeared to ignore the real reason for that premium, which is the unhealthy growth in our capital indebtedness to the States --a debt which will bear heavily upon future gencrations. A very different opinion has just been expressed by the knowledg- able committee of the influential annual conference on Canadian In- formatio Abroad. This conference is this year uder the chairman- ship of the enrgetic chairman of Toronto's radio station CFRB, Harry Sedgwick.
