iF. THE TUNLEN Au 1 AR - Lada TF WN - 4 a as / THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page é Friday, November 2, 1956 ' Forces Of Freedom Ma Change European Picture The bloodless revolution in Poland, and the bloody revolt of the freedom- loving people of Hungary have held the world's interest during the last two weeks. Events of a similar nature are likely to be in the news spotlight for some time to come, as other satellite countries take heart from what has happened in these two countries. As a result of its change of govern- ment and dismissal of Russian officers who have held high posts under the Soviet Regime in Poland, that country has achieved a status somewhat similar to that of Yugoslavia. That is to say, while retaining Communism as its ideo- logy, it has declared its independence of Russia, and has gained for its people a greater measure of freedom that it has known sine before the second world war, In Hungary, the situation is still somewhat obscure at the time of writ- ing. It does appear, however, from the despatches, that the Hungarian rebels, as they are called, hold the reins of power in their hands, if they are strong enough to retain them. The spontaneity of the uprising throughout Hungary on the heels of the main revolt in Buda- pest showed that the people were ripe for a supreme effort to break loose from the chains of Russian rule. The fact that they were able to force with- drawl of Russian troops from their capital is highly significant. What is difficult to understand from this distance is the attitude of Russia. It seems as if the Russian leaders capitulated very easily and quickly to the Polish demand for independence. While they initiated the bloodbath in Hungary by their slaughter of un- armed civilians, they seem to have been quite ready to withdraw from Buda- pest when called upon to do so by the new Hungarian government. What is difficult to understand is why Russia gave up these satellites so easily. It may be, however, that this is merely camouflage, in order to obviate adverse world opinion. What does stand out, however, is that the forces of freedom still live behind the iron curtain. Suppressed these long years under the domination of Moscow, they have burst forth from their shackles in a mighty effort to aga"n achieve the liberty they used to enjoy. These forces are powerful, in that they have the impetus of the most compelling idea in men's minds, that of personal freedom. And if complete success in the struggle is achieved by Poland and Hungary, this tide of free- dom may become infectious and sweep over other lands under the heel of Russia. Middle East Again Aflame As we write this news, despatches tell of the mobilization of the military forces of Israel, and of the movement of Israeli military forces across the border into Egypt. From the meagre details which are as yet available, it would appear as if Israel has taken the initiative in re-opening the hostilities which were terminated by the Arab- Israel armistice in 1948. Whatever the cause of this drastic action by the government of Israel, it is more than unfortunate that that country has taken the first step tow- ards a renewal of war in the middle east. Apparently the warning of Presi- dent Eisenhower over last weekend, in which he urged the Israel prime minis- ter to see that no forceful initiative be taken which would endanger peace, has been ignored by the Israel govern- ment. Perhaps it came too late. Perhaps the plans for military action against Egypt had reached the point of no return before Eisenhower sent his mes- sage to David Ben-Gurion. On the face of the information avail- able, it seems as if Israel has become an aggressor nation to the extent that it has invaded the territory of one of its neighbors. Whatever provocation there may have been for this action, this fact stands out. Israel, of course, may claim that her forces were acting be- cause of the fear that an Arab attack on Israel was imminent. It is not yet clear just how real this threat to Israel territory might be, but the country which strikes the first blow must be ready to answer for that before the bar of public opinion. The middle east situation now calls for immediate and drastic action on the part of the United Nations Or- ganization. That body, and it alone, can take action to prevent the spread of hostilities throughout the whole of the Middle East. It is now too late to halt the movement of the military forces of Israel. But it is not too late for the whole force of world opinion to be ar- rayed against the forces of aggression, no matter which country is responsible, in order to prevent this flare-up be- coming the torch to light a major war. To Vote On Daylight Saving The government of the province of Saskatchewan has taken steps to end the patchwork quilt pattern of day- light saving in that province. Notice has been given of a plebiscite to be taken in the municipalities throughout the province at the time of their municipal elections, on whether or not the electors wish to have daylight sav- ing enacted on a provincial basis, or whether it is to be discontinued en- tirely. In Saskatchewan, as in Ontario, saylight saving has been a matter of local option. As is also the case in On- tario, this has led to great confusion, with the large urban centres in favor of it, and the rural municipalities op- posing it. The province-wide vote is ex- pected to give a clear decision one way or the other, so that a uniform system will prevail throughout Saskatchewan. At the last spring session of the Saskatchewan Legislature, an act was passed giving the government author- ity to hold a plebiscite on daylight saving time, should it wish to do so. It was not until the end of September, however ,that the formal notice, calling for the vote, was published in the offi- The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher aud General Manager. M.

This set out the regulations governing the vote, and the wording of the question to be submitted to the electors. Y From the standpoint of clearing up the state of confusion which prevails across Canada with regard to daylight saving time, there is a great deal of merit in the taking of a vote on the subject. This might well be extended to all provinces of Canada, because the existence of local option on the subject makes complete uniformity impossible. In Alberta, without taking a vote at all, the government some years ago decided against daylight saving time, so it does not exist in that province. The only danger is that the majority in some provinces might be against daylight saving time, while in others, opinion might favor it. Thus we would still have confusion to a large degree, but not to the same extent as prevails now under municipal authority over the subject.

I have heard ol 81:13 TROUBLE IN LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE cn SO Ge MAC'S MEDITATIONS QUEEN'S PARK Tax Increases Seen Very Likely By DON O"HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO--It looks as though taxes will be going up. The scuttle-butt in downtown Toronto now takes it for granted that Mr. Frost will be imposing further corporations tax next year In line with this word has leaked out of the treasury depart- ment that the staf. of the corpora- tions tax branch is being built up. The branch has been semi-dor- mant since the province signed its agreement with Ottawa in 1952. There is no informed word vet on what further amount of tax Mr, Frost will impose. Speculation goes all the way from 2 'per cent additional to the allowed 9 per cent (allowed as a deduction from federal tax) to 5 per cent and mdre. But it is all speculation to date. The exact amount should be known by this time next month, when the special session will be either well underway or over. OTHERS TOO? Along with the corporations tax talk there has been wide rumor that other revenue fields of the province will be jacked up. This talk says that some time ago Mr. Frost gave orders to all his ministers to review their rev- enue sources and see where they might be boosted. Of course this rumor isn't new-- it was reported here some time ago. And undoubtedly there is considerable truth in it. But how much existing revenues can stand increase is a question that only a government statement of the future can answer. However one that is sure--com: ing months promise to be one of the most important periods in our history tax-wise. FARM FAILURE If anybody except the Supreme Court were concerned there would almost certainly be charges of playing politics going out from here on the farm marketing issue. The series of questions the court asked--rather than rendering its expecied decision--were stagger. ing to our agriculture people. They quite firmly had been ex- pecting a decision. When it didn't come they were shocked. It seems unlikely now there will be any final settlement of the im- portant farm question for months to come. It could even be next summer, after the federal election, before the matter can be straightened out. Under any other cireumstances wouldn't this breed a holler of "politics"! As it is the province intends to make out as well as it can and, pending any decision on legality, to stand by its present legislation. FOR BETTER HEALTH Boric Acid Seen Safe When Properly Applied By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD There's been a lot of talk, from time to time, about the hazards of using boric acid. So let's set a' few things straight right now. Boric acid is a chemical known for more than 1,200 years. Ameri- can doctors have been using it for about the last 75 years. As infants, virtually all of you, 1 dare say, were dusted with bor- ated baby powder. : Boric acid is a powder. Boric acid ointments contain ten per cent and borated baby powders contain 5 per cent, WIDELY USED It has been widely used in American homes in one form or another for years. Generally, it's used as an eyewash, in a soak or weh dressing for treating skin in- flammations and as a diaper rinse. It's also used in foot powders to treat athlete's foot and in borated powders to neutralize alkaline products which might be caused by bacterial growth. POISONING CASES With such widespread use, some cases of poisoning, of course, have occurred. But they are relatively few. tat d tha ply full-strength boric acid to in- fant's skin. You've got to be care- ful when using it on adults, too. The chemical might be ab- sorbed through denuded areas if continuous dressings or ointments are applied over large sections of inflamed or broken skin. If used properly, however, boric acid 1s perfectly safe. S. M.: Is it true that all people who have tetanus or lockjaw die? Answer: With recent methods of treatment, in which the newer an- tispasmodics and antibiotics are used, the death rate has been greatly reduced. . READER'S VIEWS Death Of Pet Causes Grief The Editor, The Times-Gazette, Sir: I would like to thank, through your column, the lady who so kindly waited and watch- ed over our dying pet on Sunday evening, October 28, while our daugh came scr ing up the In 1953 a survey only 60 deaths were attributed to boric acid since 1880. And those figures are for the entire world, not merely the U.S. In our country in the past 25 years, there have been eleven deaths by absorption of boric acid. In a detailed report on the safety of boric acid, Dr. Russell S. Fisher points out in the Amer- ican Medical Association's maga- zine, "Today's Health," that in 1952 alone aspirin and related compounds resulted in 113 deaths. Most of these happened, he says, because youngsters mistakenly took the medicine as candy. The boric acid deaths, also, he observes, obviously were caused by misuse or carelessness. , Various surveys, he adds, have proven the safety of boric acid and borated powders. Ome of these was conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. SMALL AMOUNTS Of course, boric acid shouldn't :» eaten or drunk. While you wv consume a small amount using the solution as an eyewash, it won't be enough to harm you. As for external use, never ap- road, that someone had run over her Tippie, and did not even stop. Tippie had been our pet for eight years and was a member of the family. Whoever he is I hope the car driver realizes how much un- happi he has d in our home. Surely these crazy drivers can be stopped. Remember, it could have been a child. Yours truly, Oshawa, Oct. 31, 1956.

McINTYRE HOOD Memories of the days when a farmer-labor government was in power in Ontario were revived recently when a notice in the Ontario Gazette stated that the United Farmers of Ontario was surrendering its charter and go- ing out of existence. This notice, of course, was very much be- lated. It is many years since the United Farmers of Ontario was an actve organization. It is not, of course, to be confused with the United Farmers' Co-operative, which is a large and flourishing rc'al organization, and which, while it had its roots in the UFO political organization, has set its own course and al- ways functioned separately. The United Farmers of On- tario dates back to the year in which the first world war broke on the people of this country. It was organized in 1914, under the Ontario Corporations Act, and as a successor to the prévious Farm- ers' Association of Ontario. The genius behind its organization was J. J. Morrison, a Wellington county farmer, who, as its secre- tary, was its real policy-maker in the days when it was at the height of its power. It was J. J. Morrison who welded the UFO into a political party, and when the 1919 general election was called in Ontario, it was ready to go into action. SURPRISED AT RESULT The result of the, 1919 election was n tremendous surprise to she people of Ontario, and to the UFO in particular, In the previous legislcture, the standing of the parties was as follows: Conser- vatives, 79; Liberals, 29, and UFO, 2, with one seat vacant. On the Ocicber night in 1919 when the election was held, the final returns stood as follows: UFO, 43; Liherals. 28; Conservatives, 26; Labor, 12; Independent, 2. It looked like a stalemate until the 12 Lahor members and one of the Indenenients decided to join up with the UFO to give them 56 out of the 111 seats in the Legisla- ture. That was enough to form a government, on . a UFO-Labor basis. The big question then was that of who was to be, premier of the province. Frankly, the UFO never anticipated - having the largest party in the house. They had not, in advance, named anyone as a party lcader ready to take on that highest office in the province. There was a hurried meeting in Toronto, and out of it came Pre- mier E. C. Drury as head of the coalilon government, In spite of the fact that it did not have a clear majority in the legislature, the UFO-Labor gov- ernment remained in office for four years, probably because neither the Liberals nor the Con. servatives saw much point in combining with each other in an efiort to defeat it. FINE ACHIEVEMENTS The UFO-Labor government had many fine achievements to its credit. It enacted Ontario's first legislation fixing minimum wages for wemen, and for the protection of deserted women. It provided legisiation to give long-term cred- it to farmers, and embarked on the first extensive program for rural electrification. Under Hon. F. C. Biggs, as minister of high- ways, it started the first ambi- tious program for better high- ways in Ontario. Hon. Manning Doherty, minister of agriculture, was the father of co-operative marketing principles for Ontario. And it was responsible for killing the fantastic scheme of Sir Adam Beck for an extensive system of eleciri» radial railways through- out the province. But the lack of experience of its members and several of its ministers proved its undoing. The provinciel treasurer, Hon. Peter Smith, became involved in some questionable deals which landed Mm fi the penitentiary, J. J. Morrisun, the power behind the throne, had some violent dis- agreements with Premier Drury, and resigned as secretary of the party. Attorney-General Raney got into hot water with his meth- ods of en'orcing the Ontario Tem- perance Act, a measure of prohi- bition then on the statute books. OVERWHELMING DEFEAT So, in 1923, when the next gen- eral election was held, the UFO goverament was swept out of power, When the results were complete, the party standing was: Conservatives, 78; Liberals, 16; UFO, 13; Labor, 3; Independent, 1. That as the end of the UFO as a poiivcal force in Ontario. It neve: recovered, and gradually its members driited into the Pro- gressive party, and later, some of - them remained in politics as CCF members, and others became Lib- erals, E. C. Drury, the UFO premier, who was defeated in the 1923 elec. tion, along with five cabinet min- isters, retired to his farm at Crown Hill, and many years later was rewarded for his public ser- vice by being appointed Sheriff of Simcoe County. At the age of 78, he still holds that position. One or the UFO members who was elected in 1919 is still in the Ontario Legislature, He is Harry C. Nixon, of Brant, who became a Liberal and in 1934, was ap- pointed provincial secretary in the government of the Hon. Mit- chell Hepburn. He has had the longest record of continuous serv- ice of any present member of the Legixlature. He held the office of provincial secretary until 1943, when, on the retirement of Pre- mier the Hon. G. D. Conant, he took over the premiership of the proviice, only to be defeated in a general election which he called and which was held in August, 1943. But it is also of note that Farquhar Oliver, who entered politics as a UFO member, being a protege of the late Agnes Mac. Phail, znd later became a cabi- net mi:ister in the Hepburn and Conant cabinets. He is now leader of the Ontario Liberal party. The UFO is now completely gone frum the records of Ontario politics of today. But it will be remembered as having created g colorful period in the political his tory of the province. BYGONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The members of the Oshawa Hunt Club jgrneyed north to Bad River for their annual two weeks' hunting expedition, The arty included Mayor John tacey, C. M. Mundy, George Miller, Dr. Trewin, F. J. Bailes, William Holland, William Arm- our, Thomas Gale, Sam Trick, Art Germond, Walter Stacey, Ly- man Gifford and Fred Spencer. A contract was let by the On- tario Hydro Electric Power Com- mission for a carburetted water gas generator and equipment to be installed in the gas plant at Oshawa. The new machine had a capacity of 250,000 cubic feet per 24 hours, much greater than the former equipment. Rev. Father Bench was ap- pointed as chairman of the Fi- nance Committee' of the Com- munity Welfare Association at its re-organization meeting and Rev. J. H. McBain, Pastor of Simcoe Street Methodist Church, was named chairman of the General Executive Committee of the Com- munity Welfare Association, A number of Oshawa Cadets went to Long Branch where they took part in the rifle shooting competition for the Pellatt trophy and medals, the Strathcona tro- phy and medals and the King's trophy and medals. The aggre- ate value of the prizes was in cash and the trophies were open to yearly competition. Two Oshawa boys, F. Watson and H. Stone, carried off honors winning cash prizes. Others present from Oshawa were Capt. Chester Fol- lest, N. Walker, A. Livesey, P. McAdam and A. Gower, The members of the Whithy Baptin. Church secured as their own property a parsonage for the use of their pastor and his fomily. An offer was made and accepted for the brick residence at Dunlop and Centre Streets, owned by the estate cf the late Judge Smith. The most successful season in the history of the Oshawa Golf Club was brought to a fittin close when the annual tea an sentation of prizes took place. rs. F. W. Cowan was assisted by Mrs. Dr. Ford and Mr. Cowan presided over the presentations. to extend the current work econ- tract. A one-month extension of the contract expired last mid- night, and a strike at that hour threatened. U. K. ATOM EXPERT DIES OXFORD, England (AP) -- Sir Francis Simon, atomic scientist whose work in the field of low- rature physics received world-wide attention, died Wednes- day. He was 63. Simon was asso- ciated with British atomic energy projects since their inception, was professor of experimental philoso- phy at Oxford University and head of the Clarendon Laboratory. DON'T BE SORRY DO BE SURE Look up the number and Reason Behind Israel Raid Against Egypt (Winnipeg Free Press) Why then has Israel adopted this policy? Are we to believe that Israel's leaders have come under the spell of brutal folly or wicked arabition? The explanation is to be found not in any such impeach- ment of motives but in the peril ous confusions of the security po- sition in the Middle East. Every Arab state is tied by se- curity pacts with strong countries in the free world. Israel alone is denied this protection. Every country in the Middle East, w'th the single exception of Israel, receives large shipments of the latest weapons. When Is- rael finaly receives welcome planes from France and Canada, the described in Churchill's famous phrase in another context, as '{imid, tiny, tentative, and tar- dy." Diplomatically isolated in the Middle East, surrounded by neigh- bors who enforce an economic boycott, boast of their growing military power, and predict a vie- torious Arab assault on Israel, denied a security pact with the United States or adequate and timely arms from the free world, Israel has been constrained, in these harsh circumstances, to reach the hard deeision that she must admonish her Arab neigh- council to give Israel the right to . take part in the open debate on the Suez crisis, although the ships of no other nations have yet been deniuvd free passage through the canal. Alone among the nations of the world Israel finds herself - refused the right to sign a secur- ity treaty with the United States and Great Britain, These are ugly facts, but they are facts all the same. In view of this record, what assurance has Israel had that she could look in safety to the free world for pro- tection in the hour of ultimate danger? It cannot be stressed too - ly tha! the ag ments for the Middle East. The final tragedy is that the peace of the Middle East should' be endangered, as it is today, by the squaiid rivalry between Egypt and Iraq to force Jordan into the status of a satellite. A weak Israel would be the tar- get of immediate war. It is only the memory of Israel's strength that has succeeded thus far in placing the ambitions of her Arab neighbors under some restraint. bors into a prudent r ition of Israel's capacity for survival. There would have been no re- prisal raids if the free world had thrown the shield of its security around the threatened state of Israel. Instead Israel has watch- ed the steady appeasement of the Arab world. Israer remembers how the Uni. ted Naticns managed to avoid coming to Isreal's help when she was inveded by the Arab séates.
