THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers, Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Doge 6 Thursday, April 11, 1957 Horticulturists To Erect Gates For Pioneer Garden Announcement that the Oshawa Horticultural Society proposes to have ornamental entrance gates erected at the Pioneer Memorial Garden will be gratifying to many Oshawa citizens. It will be particularly pleasing to those who were responsible for creating this all too little known beauty spot mot far from the heart of down-town Osh- - awa. For those who are unware of its location -- and there are many -- the Pioneer Memorial Garden is located on the south side of Bond street, just east of Gladstone avenue. It was form- erly the old Methodist Cemetery. Some years ago, when it had become rather Ailanidated, a committee headed by Geurge Ansley undertook the project of transforming it into a Memorial Garden. The old tombstones were care- fully taken up, and built into four mur- al cenotaphs in the centre of the area. The ground was levelled to become a verdant lawn. The Horticultural Soci- ety took care of its beautification, and ° in spring and summer has since then provided beautiful flower beds in it. It has become on oasis of peace and beauty in the midst of a busy indus- trial city. The erection of ornamental gates at the Bond street entrance to the gar- den should serve to call it to the 'at tention of citizens who do not even know it is there. We venture to say that hundreds of people pass it in cars every day without knowing of its loca- tion. The gate that is there at the mo- ment is an old farm--type swing gate, like that leading from the barnyard to the back pasture. The Horticultural Society's project will at last give the entrance a setting worthy of the beauty and dignity of what'is to be found inside. Experience in Cabinet Jobs Speaking at a Liberal nomination meeting last week, Hon. C. D. Howe made much of a statement that will probably be heard quite frequently in the coming election. He pointed out that of all the Progressive Conserva- tive members in the House of Com- mons, only one had previous experience as a cabinet minister. That was Hon. Earl Rowe, who for some two months in 1935 was a cabinet minister in the Bennett government. The inference he wished to draw was obvious--that the opposition was made up of inexperien- ced men. It is quite natural that, since the Liberal government has held office for 22 years, there would be little possibile ity that many of the opposition would be former cabinet ministers, But that does not necessarily mean that the op- position party does not include men of cabinet calibre. The Progressive Conservative party includes many ex- perienced and capable parliamentar- ans, although the fortunes of politics have kept them out of office. Mr. Howe should be reminded that he himself was a comparatively inex- perienced parliamentarian when he first took office as a cabinet minister under Mackenzie King. We can recall, too, that when Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn formed his first government in 1934, his provincial secretary, Harry F, Nixon, was the only minister with previous experience. He had held the same portfolio in the Drury govern- ment from 1919 to 1928. Yet it is con- ceded that the ministers in the Hep- burn government did a reasonably good job. We do not like the idea of belittling a political opposition because its mem- bers have not had experience in gov- ernment, That smacks of the kind of biased political thinking that assumes all the brains in the country are con- centrated in one political party. And that is just as far-fetched as the in- ference that because men have never been in the cabinet they would not make excellent ministers. To Draw Tourists To Canada With a large deficit shown in Can- ada's tourist trade balance in recent years, government departments con- cerned with this trade are concerned about two things. First is the neces- sity of devising ways and means of bringing more U.S. tourists to this country. Second is the need for selling to the people of Canada the potential- {ties of this country in vacation pos- sibilities. The Canadian Tourist Bureau is making a strong bid to attract tourists from other countries. It has just pub- lished a beautiful booklet, entitled "Canada-Vacations Unlimited", Prim- arily, this publication is intended for distribution outside of Canada. We believe, however, that it interests many Canadians in seeing more of their own country. This is an excellently-prepared book- let, and a real eye-catcher.

' It is reported that a record number of students have registered for the session on secondary school teaching at the OCCI career day. Perhaps in a few years there will be no more talk of a shortage of teachers. The Daily Times-Gazette J. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager, M.

The color photographs include scenes from every partof Can- ada--from the provinces down by the sea and the Laurentian Mountains to the Rockies in the west. Ontario is given a generous share of attention. These should inspire Canadians, as well as those from other lands, to use their vacations to see Canada. This would help to close the gap be- tween the amount of money tourists spend in Canada, and the large amount Canadians spend in the United States and other countries. It might be a good idea, therefore, to make this booklet, issued under the authority of Hon.

SIMPKINS OR MEET HIS TERMS OTTAWA REPORT Sad Indifference Noted In House By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA: The taxpayers pay each of our 265 federal MPs $10,- 000 per year. Taking the mormal working day of 5% hours in our House of Commons, a working week of 4%; days, and an aver- age sitting year of 26 weeks, our salary bill there works out at about $5,000 per hour, Attendance in the House of Com- mons is so bad, and aitendance to business by even the handful pres- nt is so bad, that the taxpayers, get very poor value for their $5, 000 per hour, Consider for example the hour from 4 pm. until 5 pm. on a recent Friday afternoon. The fast trains had left for Toronto and Montreal, so the week - ending MPs from Ontario and Quebec had departed from Ottawa. The House of Commons was discussing the expenditure of the taxpayers' money. Specifically, Social Credit member F. D. Shaw, representing Red Deer, Alberta was pleading for some signs that the government is a careful and prudent steward of our money. "I have watched closely for some comment with respect to the largest single item of expenditure in our budget, namely the 35 cents out of very tax dollar which is al- located to national defence," he said. "It seems significant that over the last three or four weeks I have received quite a number of communications either criticizing the government or asking why it is that the government does not get right down to business and ef- fect essential economies in the field of national defence." NO ATTENTION Conservative Leader John Dief- enbaker and his defence expert, paying keen attention to Mr. Shaw's words. Vancouver's CCF member Erhart Regler was doing the same. So was Finance Minis- ter Walter Harris. So was Van- couver's Elmore Philpott, Three Socred colleagues of Mr. Shaw were paying attention to his words, and shat made up the to- tal value being received by tax- payers for our $5,000 during that hour, . In addition to th eight MPs listening to the speaker, there were 14 other members in the House, including two cabinet min- isters. These were all either read- ing newspapers, writing letters, talking together or, in one case, reading a book. Mr. Shaw went on to point out that Britain spends nine per cent of her budget on defence; the U.S.A. Ppentis 11 per cent. And we here in Canada spend a stag- gering 85 per cent of our federal defence, "We in the Social Credit group have always taken the view that Canada must have adequate de- fence," said Mr. Shaw, "but there is increasing evidence that Can- ada can secure those adequate delences at a lesser cost." The evidence, certainly increas. ing as Mr. Shaw declares, not merely suggests, ib asserts, that MAC'S MEDITATIONS ~ Reminiscences - Of Gen. Pearkes By M. McINTYRE HOOD We were genuinely delighted the other day when Major - Gen. eral George R. Pearkes, VC, DSO, MC, and a lot of other decora- tions, stepped into our offi a brief but happy reunion, . We to trifle surprised that he brigade the days when we to be one of the officers on his brigade staff when he was brigadier in command of the 2nd Canadian Brigade in 1940. But he did, and together we recalled some of the incidents of that try. he ing period when Britain had back to the wall after the hee treat from Dunkirk and the sur- render of France, We like to remember these days, because, even aichiogghh they were the darkest hour for ' people of the British Isles, and even for the First Canadian Divi. sion which was in readiness to repel an expected enemy inva- sion, they had their compensa- tions in the friendships we were able to make, And Brigadier Pearkes, as he was then, was one of these friends who, as we found fund out the other day has not for. gotten the associations of these, days of 1940. DEMOCRATIC BRIGADIER We remember General Pearkes as the most democratic brigadier we have ever encountered, and we bumped into quite a few of them during those days in Eng- land in she second world war, His brigade mess was one great happy family. He never had any fixed seat which he occupied as brigade commander, as we have seen other brigadiers do. When he dropped in at mealtime, he was just as likely to sit down next to the junior officer on his staff, and engage him in jovial . The bs .

As there were 19 juniors and only seven rs, it worked out to our advantage, MEMORABLE CRICKET MATCH We can recall the interest which General Pearkes took in doing unusual things for the bene- fit of the men under him. On Dominion Day, July 1, 1940, we were stationed near Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire, not far from the Bicester aerodrome, General Pearkes wanted something spe- cial for that day, and, bel an ardent cricketer, he arran, for a cricket match between the bri ot away t he change, after the marked, "Yes, it took just a few a team the ver, It was played on a meadow near the mansion in which head. nera play on the brigade but we were beaten the Vancouver log s, th very large show made Dy' 8 young captain' named Hoffmeister, on the Seaforths' team.

So we went bare to our tunnel. The other recalling the incident. General es re- bombs to make us have a healthy respect for orders intended for our safety." General Pearkes seemed very little changed, when we talked to him, the day, from what he was back in 1940. Like all of us he looked just a little older, but very fit and straight, and still very much the soldier. And he still has that friendly spirit, that democratic touch which has made him just as popular as a member of the House of Com- mons as he was when he took the time to chat genially with the junior officers of his brigade mess. QUEEN'S PARK MAC'S MUSINGS There never was a time When the profession of Being a school teacher Offered such splendid Opportunities to bright Young people as at present With rewards far beyond Anything which teachers Ever aspired to reach in Previous years of their Professional careers. Young people today are Looking for vocations Which offer good rewards For their labor, and in Which the supply does not Meet with the demand, and These are exactly the Conditions which prevail Today in both elementary And secondary branches Of the teaching field, We saw the other day how Great the demand is for , Even those who are just Entering the profession, And the salaries they are Being ofiered are enough To make the older teachers Turn green with envy and they had been born our department of def is un- justifiably costly, unsatisfactorily wasteful and shamefully inade- quate. One small but obvious example of the mentality of extravagance in the department was quoted by Mr, Shaw: the use of armed service vehicles for non-military purposes, It would infuriate any taxpayer, especially one who can- not afford to pay cash down for his own car, to see defence de- partment cars, with uniformed drivers costing at least $2.50 per hour including wags and over- heads, sitting literally by the hour around this capital city. They stand, with their engines running and consuming gasoline, outside government offices; they fetch and carry brass hats to and from their offices; they stand by the hour outside the private resi- dences of General Somebody and Admiral Nobody. No private citi- zen in Ottawa can afford to leave a car Idle, with engine running and with driver reading a book, for the until hours for which all private citizens pay for those gov-, ernment cars. Mr. Shaw had a very good point --our defence costs are unneces- sarily high. But there is something tragically ineffective about our "trained seals' system of govern- ment that only eight out of our 265 MPs will pay any attention to such a common sense plea on behalf of the defence of our homes and the protection of our pockets, FOR BETTER HEALTH Don't Be Afraid To Ask Your Doctor About Fees By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Let's talk about money. You'd think just about every- body would be happy to discuss a subject such as this, But you'd be surprised at how many people actually fear to bring up the mat- ter with their doctors. No matter what you think, the simple fact is that doctors' 'fees haven't gone up as far, or as fast, as your other family expens- es MEDICAL COSTS You spend about the same pro- portion of your budget on medical costs as your parents did 20 years ago. That's about four cents out of every dollar. Since wages have gone up at a much faster clip than medical costs, it means you have to put in Jess work to pay for the same amount of medical care. Today, more than ever before, the bill your doctor sends you re- presents one of the really big bar- gains of your life. And you are en- titled to know just about how much that bill will be when you seek medical help. While your doctor can't always tell you in advance precisely how much a course of treatment or an operation is going to cost, he often can give a pretty good idea Yest most patients become tongue-tied when it comes to ask- ing their doctor about how much treatment will cost and how the payment is to be made. They are able to talk freely about some of their most intimate problems, but not about money. RESPECT FOR DOCTOR Many undoubtedly refrain from bringing up the subject of money out of respect for their doctor. I guess they think it might be un- becoming for him to talk about money. But this isn't so, believe me. In fact, have a plaque which reads: "To all my patients--I invite you to discuss frankly with me any questions regarding my ser- vices or fees. The best medical service is based on a friendly mutual understanding between doctor and patient". They really mean it, too. QUESTION AND ANSWER B.D.: My 4-year-old son's teeth have become partly covered by his gums, This condition is a re- cent devejppment. What is the cause? Answer: The condition which you describe is not an unusual one, It may be due to overstimu- lation of the gums from some source. Immediate examination by the dentist is advisable. thousands of doctors in their offices ey About 25 years too soon, As a result of all this We would expect to see A great rush of bright Young people to enter The Teachers' Colleges of Ontario next fall, because There is every indication That the demand will still Be greater than the supply And salary schedules have A tendency in these days To keep on increasing To figures unheard of in The years of the past. CBC Criticisms Election Stunts By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Dally Times-Gazette Toronto: Strange things happen in election years. Now we have Premier Frost fighting with the CBC. In a curious exchange of letters to the broadcasting corporation's A. D. Dunton, Mr, Frost has charged that the corporation fav- ors the government in power at the exp of the opp Curious? Yes, for a number of reasons. One of the reasons was that there was very little point to Mr. Frost's letters. He wasn't suggest- ing any remedy. Another was that he admitted the situation being what it was, there wasn't much the CBC could 0. And a third was that to one who is reasonably familiar with Mr. Frost, and particularly with <his style of expressing himself, the letters are unlik: him. the early e So much so that one will get u ten that he didn't write them elf, at least in the first in. stance. POLITICAL ADVICE? This is strictly personal specu- lation, but we would say the let- ters were principally a product of one of the "advisers" who are around Mr. Frost these days now that federal election is coming up. They sound very much as though someone had said "It would be a good idea to take a whack at the CBC" and, probably after listening to a radio report BYGONE DAYS on tax di r ital in- surance the night before, Mr. Frost had said "All right, you write something." As a citizen of Canada, there is a just beef coming to Mr. Frost for the imbalance which, of neces- sity, there is in CBC's news re- porting and broadcasting. The simple fact that men in government make news while op- position parties don't militate against a fair deal. But as a politician the Ontario premier is the last one who has a complaint against the system. For as a smart publicist Mr, Frost enjoys certain fame as one who wrings his last ounce of news value and a bit more and the gov- ernment vs opposition imbalance on Ontario government news must be even greater than it is na- tionally.

Members of the Cedardale Pub- lic School hockey team, principal and staff of the school, were guests of the Cedardale Home and School Club at a delightful banquet, C. F. Cannon, supervi- sor of public schools in Oshawa and organizer of the public school hockey league, was present as guest speaker. Mrs. F.

Trick was elected presi- dent for 1927 Oshawa Lawn Bowl- ing Club at the annual meeting held at Welsh's Parlors. Dr. A. W. Harding of Oshawa, well known specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat left for Europe to take advanced special courses at Vienna, Aus- tria, and Edinburgh, Scotland. Between these world famous post- graduate universities, a period of over three months would be spent and Dr, Harding also would attend the International Rotary Convention at Ostend, Belgium. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the YMCA held its regular meetin with a goodly number of old 'an new members present. The report of the nominating committee was brought in by Mrs. D.

The final presentation of the Minstrel Topic Revue, an ama- teur production staged by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club under the direction of 'George Zarfas of the Canadian Producing Company at Hamilton was witnessed by a large audience at the Regent Theatre. Dr. Grant Berry and Dr. Arch- ibald McKay were named medical inspectors under the Medical Offi- cer of Health for Oshawa. Their appointments were confirmed at a meeting of the Board of Health with Chairman Gibson presiding along with O. R.

But these 20th-century pirates are not interested in cargoes of costly silks, rare spices or a pretty captive to be held for ransom. Their main taigets are the strings of barges filled with scrap iron being ferried from foreign freighters to waterfront steel mills. Japanese police estimate that pirates have stolen more than 120,- 000 tons of scrap metal in the last few months. And they lai operation is to make a quick des- cent on a string of barges being towed to the steel mill wharves.
