THEDAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. 5., Oshawy, Ont. Wednesday, March 20, 1957 Page 6 Trans-Canada Airlines Has Again Substantial Surplus The Trans-Canada Airlines, Cana- da's nationally-owned air service, has again produced a substantial surplus in its operations. According to the re- port presented to the House of Com- . mons, it realized a surplus of $1,566, 212 for the year 1956. Not only was this the sixth successive year in which a surplus was reported. It is note- worthy that the amount of the sur- plus was $1,266,117 more than in the previous year. The gratifying financial result of the year's operations, however, is only one of the satisfactory phases of the report. Other facts presented show the splendid progress being made by the TCA in both business and equipment. It is entirely modern, keeping abreast with the latest developments of com- modious aircraft for long-distance travel. Of note, also, is the fact that there was an increase of 23 per cent in the number of passengers carried over the previous year. In 1956, the TCA car- ried 2,072,912 passengers on its var- fed routes. At the end of the year, the TCA was operating on 25,187 miles of routes, and serving more than 60 com- munities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Bermuda and the Caribbean. Air freight movement increased by 20. per cent over 19565. Air express showed an increase of 18 per cent. Mail carried on its routes was up by 12 per cent over the previous year. And another noteworthy fact is that the TCA now has 8932 persons in its employ. Now in its 20th year of service, the Trans-Canada Airlines has shown splendid progress and enterprise. It has moved ahead into all the new fields of higher speed, greater passen- ger comfort and increased economy. Its next venture will be the securing of four Douglas-8 jetliners for its long- range routes. All of this indicates that Canada has good reason to be proud of its pub- licly-owned air transport service, and of the splendid manner in which it is being administered. Food For Needy Countries Hon. William A. Goodfellow, Ontar- fo's minister of agriculture, in a speech 'in the legislature, has officially put forward a proposal which we have sup- ported for many years. It was a propo- sal whereby the surplus food now stor- ed in Canada be made available to the countries which have low standards of nutrition. Mr. Goodfellow said he was greatly exercised over the United States action in dumping surplus products on world markets at low prices. He suggested that it might be a good thing for Can- ada to undertake a double price sys- tem, also, in order to dispose of the surplus of food products in Canada. Under that system surpluses are dis- posed of to needy countries at what- ever price they can afford to pay, with the government meeting the loss. Public money would be well spent, said Mr. Goodfellow, if it were used to buy up surplus foods for distribution to needy countries, In one sense, this point is well taken, since the money provided by the gov- ernment to distribute food where it is greatly needed would help to improve the faltering prosperity of Canada's farm economy. It would go directly to the producers, who are today under a handicap because their wheat and other grains: are bringing them no re- turns, because so much of it is stored on their farms, producing no revenue. Our idea of making food surpluses available to hungry countries, how- ever, is somewhat broader than that of Mr. Goodfellow. We favor the estab- lishment of an international food bank, financed by the countries in the Food and Agriculture Organization, and fin- anced by an international bank, to pro- vide food to the countries which do not have enough. The cost would be borne by all the countries participating in the venture, so that it would not be a charge on the Canadian people alone. Mr. Goodfellow's idea, however, is a good one, even if it does not go as far as we suggest. Eisenhower's New Power After a lengthy debate, the United States Congress has granted wide pow- ers to deal with Communist aggres- gion in the Near East, and to extend economic and military aid to the coun- tries in that area. The powers he has been granted are unprecedented in the peacetime history of his country. While they are not as direct and un- equivocal as the proposals he present- ed to Congress two months ago, they are sufficient to enable the United States to play a more effective part in preserving peace and freedom. Eisenhower's own estimate of their intent is given in his own words when he signed the resolution which was adopted by Congress, He said: "This marks an important forward step in the development of friendly relations between the United States and the Near Fast area. It is a further demonstration of the will of the American people to preserve peace and freedom in the world." There are two phases to the powers given the president. First is the de- claration that if the president deems it necessary, the United States is pre- pared to use armed force to help re- questing nations repel armed aggres- Editorial Notes With 18 cents a gallon tax on gaso- line, are there no fears of bootlegging, especially along the border areas?

The second authorizes the president to use up to $200 million be- tween now and July 1 to furnish mili- tary and economic help to countries in the Near East. As we have said, these are sweep- ing powers. The important thing, how- ever, is how these powers are used, and not what they represent. As a result of the crisis over the Suez Canal and the invasion of Egyptian terri- tory, the Arab states in the Near East are in a perilous economic position. In such a state they are liable to be open to the blandishments of Russia in offering assistance. Since Russian assistance is usually predicated upon support of the Communist ideology, the United States can, if it acts swiftly to render aid with no strings attached, offset the Russian hopes of becoming a power in the Near East. That assis- tance in bolstering shaky economies will do much more than the threat of military action to preserve peace in that part of the world, but there must be no strings attached to it.

THE TEST -THE LAST OBSTACLE GALLUP POLL OF CANADA World Peace And Money Public's Two Main Wishes By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINON What's the big headline you'd like to see most of all, in tomor- row's newspaper? There are only two -- for half the men and women of Canada. One has to do with Peace -- and one with Money. Almost one in three adults think first of the hope for a continuing world peace. About half this num- ber think in terms of a reduction in the cost of living, lower prices, or higher wages. Another fair- sized group has hopes centering on a lower income tax. After this, as the table below shows, the dreams covered many aspects of modern llving. Of the ten wishes, however, expressed by enough Canadians to register in percent- age points, seven were for imper- sonal things. Also a third of the population wished first, for some- thing which affected their own personal living, such as lower prices and income taxes, higher old-age pensions, the hope of win- ning the Irish sweepstake, and many others. The question which interviewers for the Gallup Poll put to a cross- section of Canadians was this: "Suppose when you get your, newspaper tomorrow that the big heading across the top of the page could announce any news event or happening. What would you most like to see this headline say?" If a nose-count of all Canadians over twenty-one were taken, 'this would be the general order for banner headlines: PCT. World peace -- and no more wars " Decrease in the cost of living; lower prices; higher wages .........., Reduction in income taxes Trouble in Middle East settled i.

Can't say . 4 4 . 3 2 1 + 100 The fifteen in a hundred who gave headlines which would not fit into such major categories as those listed hoped for news events such as "My wife's winning her crossword competition'. *'Oil dis- covered in P.E.I." "Elvis Presley coming to town". 'Man reaches the moon". "Something new never seen before'. "Stowaway allowed to stay in Canada". "Birth control". "Family re- united", "My wedding". "Lots of food for all", *'Queen Elizabeth coming to Canada", and an in- finite variety of others. World Copyright Reserved OTTAWA REPORT Thatcher Putting Up Great Fight By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daly Times-Gazette OTTAWA --The glamor boy of the C.C.F. has grown into the forgotten man of the Liberals. Yet he is fighting what is perhaps the key election battle in the prov- ince of Saskatchewan. Ross Thatcher was elected as a C.C.F. member of Parliament three times by Moose Jaw, with majorities ranging from 2,500 to an_ enviable 6,400 Since his enlistment to the Lib- eral cause, he decided to contest the adjoining riding of Assiniboia, currently represented by his former C.C.F. room-mate, Hazen Argue There is a lot at stake in this ght. Assiniboia includes the provin- cial riding of Weyburn, the pri- vate preserve of Saskatchewan's C.C.F, premier, Tommy Douglas. If Ross Thatcher can wipe out Hazen Argue's previous majority of 3,300, he will at one blow elimi- nate a possible future leader of the C.C.F. and drive 'a nail into the coffin of the party in Saskat- chewan. At the same time, he will establish himself as the fighting- esh and most appealing Liberal in Saskatchewan, with the prime claim to the succession of the party leadership in that province when Jimmy Gardiner, now 73 years old, retires. And with that leadership would go, if the Lib- erals are still in power federally, a seat in the cabinet, FUND-RAISER Reports reaching here from the battlefield describe some searing spesches by Fisheries Minister Jimmy Sinclair on behalf of his friend and private convert Thatcher; and some exploration of darkest Saskatchewan where Liberals have long feared to tred. In one hamlet visited by the campaigning Thatcher, the popu- lation of 159 contained only two Liberal supporters, and they were discretely clandestine about it, The last Liberal campaigner to visit them, they explained, had come 22 years ago; he had had his tires slashed, and had been rotten-egged out of town. Ross Thatcher 'is employing the bold approach, perhaps because his increasing portliness presents a target too large to offer hope of avoiding the eggs. Braving the worst that our win- ter and our nationalised airline can threaten, Ross Thatcher ac- cepted the role of star speaker at a political rally in nearby Yorkton. He agreed to the coura- geous step of asking $50 a plate, This was equivalent to betting that his appeal among the wheat- poor farmers of Saskatchewan was as powerful as that of the hit of the century on Broadway, My Fair Lady, among the ex- ense-account - high-lifers of New ork City. Thatcher arrived an hour late, traveling 300 miles by emergency taxi, to find an audience of 206 awaiting him. The $10,300 take is the sensation of the election cam- paign to date in Liberal circles. It has been discussed even by the cabinet, with the revelation that Thatcher has shown his new party colleagues how to raise campaign funds in a 'hitherto overlooked way. They say that no Liberal meeting has yielded so much in living memory. It is probably un- paralleled in Canada since another Saskatchewan speaker, Prince Albert's John Diefenbaker, filled a hall with Montreal's Jew- ish community at ah even more costly Bonds-for-Israel dinner. Bermuda Readies For Conference By JOHN HIGHTOWER TUCKERSTOWN, Bermuda (AP)--Bermuda Tuesday comple- ted paint and polish preparation for playing host to history a sec- ond time in four years Prime Minister Macmillan and President Eisenhower arrive Wed- nesday to tackle the task of re- building the British - American partnership.

The pattern of "Big Two' meet- ings--rather than 1953's "Big Three" approach--suggests that Eisenhower and Dulles still do not want the U.S. identified in Asia and Africa with a grouping of what Dulles once described "as "so-called colonial powers." Brandon Stages 75th Birthday BRANDON, Mag (CP)--Whe this city celebrates its 75th an- niversary in late June and early July, Walter Henderson Shilling- law will also be celebrating his 75th anniversary as a resident of Brandon. Now 92 years old, Mr, Shilling- law will not take an active part in the celebrations, but familiar landmarks tell the story of his life here. He was born at Perth, Ont., and spent 10 years as a child in the United States® before moving with his parents to Portage la Prairie, from where he came to Brandon. At age 17, he helped his father build his present home here. For 1? years he was the city engineer in Brandon, and later as a private architect designed prominent buildings in this city on the bank of the Assiniboine Rver, 132 miles west of Win- nipeg -- such buildings as St. Paul's Church, Earl Haig School, the Brandon post office and the 18th Street Bridge.

BUNDESEN, MD YOU can't suppress a cold by gobbling aspirin, Yet aspirin does play an impor- tant part in alleviating some of the symptoms of the common cold -- and getting relief is of prime concern to any cold suf- er. The best way to use aspirin, when confronted with a cold, is to take one or two five-grain tab- lets when you first notice the symptoms. During the following day, you can take three or four more -- one at a time, MILD RELIEF The aspirin will probably re- lieve mild headaches and reduce fever slightly. This helps, of course, but it is about all aspirin can do for a cold victim. The drug has no effect on a cold as far as infection is con- cerned. Actually, taking too many as- irin in a short time might be armful.

If the dosage I men- tioned earlier doesn't ease your fever and headache, you'd better see your doctor. SECONDARY INFECTION Better still, see him for instrue- tions just as soon as a cold strikes you. A secondary infection is re- sponsible for much stubborn trouble. In the event this is the case, your physician can admin- ister penicillin or other antibiotics which often will help to bring the difficulty under control.

BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Sea Cadet Corps. sponsored by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club won a signal honor in being awarded a handsome silver tro- phy for the record average at- tendance for the whole Dominion of Canada in 1931, In addition, the rifle team of the Oshawa Corps was awarded fourth place in the Empire Service Rifle Match for 1931, Dr. J, V. Worrell was the commander of the Corps. The new pedestrian subway un- der the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Railway on Dundas Street East at Whitby was constructed at the cost of approximately $9000 and Whitby's share of the cost was $2000. The annual "Seven-in-one" din- ner of the Kinsmen's Clubs was held at the Royal York, Toronto, and the Toronto branch enter- tained six of the sister branches. * A party of 12 members of the Oshawa Club was present and Russell 8torks, president of the Oshawa Club spoke on behalf of the members. Over one hundred and fifty per- sons gathered in the 1.0.F. Hall on Simcoe Street North on the occasion of the 44th anniversary of Court Oshawa 294, 1.0.F. The arrangements for the banquet were in charge of Companion Eag- leson and her committee, while the musical program was arrang- ed by Bro. Askew and his com- mittee. With representatives from the Supreme Grand Lodge and the District Lodge from Toronto in attendance, an enjoyable function was held in Engel"s Hall when Victoria Lodge No. 55 Loyal True Blue Association held its 38th birthday banquet. Over one hun- dred guests were present on the occasion and M, McIntyre Hood, Editor of the Times, presided over the gathering as toastmaster, The annual meeting of the Osh- awa Tennis Club was held. The annual report showed that the club had raised $1,251 during the season, the most money ever to be raised by the club during its history, and the club membership rose to the hundred mark, with thirty six new members being secured. The new officers were elected for 1932 and were Dr. R. E. McMullen, president; Miss Ferber, secretary; John Harris, treasurer; S. R, Alger, chairman; A. W. Armstrong, Ross Strike, Miss Goheen and T. Fishleight, membership committee. The Ladies' Auxillary of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion held a St. Patrick's Ba- zaar in the armouries to raise money for the clubhouse building fund. The affair was officially opened by Mrs. R. B. Smith and Mrs. H. Foote, president of the auxiliary. SCULPTOR DEAD PARIS (Reuters)--Sculpter Con- stantin Brancusi, 81, died early should avoided.
