¥' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 18a ne RE EHEEEE \ 220 University Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, April 13, 1957 Campaign To Rid Roads Of Dangerous Motor Cars W.A. Bryce, general manager of the * Canadian Highway Safety Conference, is actively engaged in promoting a campaign to bring a greater public awareness as to the importance of motor vehicles, operating on the high- ways, being in a safe mechanical con- dition. This campaign is to receive na- tional promotion during the month of May. Its slogan will be "Check Your Car; Check Accidents." It is aimed at ridding the highways of vehicles which are in dangerous mechanical condition. This campaign is to have nation- wide co-operation of many types of organizations. Service clubs, junior Chambers of Commerce, provincial, community industrial and other safety bodies, automobile manufacturers and those allied with that industry, will all be participating. Their target will be the motor vehicle, old or new, which fs in such mechanical condition that it becomes a death-dealing projectile GUEST EDITORIAL the minute it goes on the road. Their aim will be the owner of that vehicle, to have his car checked choroughly and its dangerous defects corrected. Mr. Bryce in announcing the cam- paign, has some important things to say. He says: "Maybe tomorrow' is one of the most perilous phases a motorist can utter. There are people who said 'maybe tomorrow' until it was too late, A driver who says 'maybe tomorrow' about getting a car checked for spring and summer driving may discover, also too late, that 'maybe tomorrow' his car will have completed its secret mission as a projectile with death and destruction in its wake." Since even minor defects can some- times cause a terrible accident, it is important for all drivers to join in this "Check Your Car; Check Acci- dents" campaign, The various types of organizations listed above can do good community service by plannjng a May Safety Campaign for Oshwa and dis- trict. God Rides A Donkey By REV. S. B. COLES The ears of men are dinned by the elamor of voices competing for their attention. This din has now become a semi-science, known as sales promotion or propaganda. In the midst of the din and competition and confusion, one Voice still penetrates our inner ear and speaks with the sovereign authority of Truth Incarnate. His Name is called the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Prophet from God to men. This Prophet came into the world and its distracting din, to tell men the truth. The truth about themselves, the truth about the destiny on which they seemed hell-bent, and the truth about God. Somehow this truth strikes the ears of men as too imper- jous, too sharp, too dangerous. So, in their self-righteous guilt and tragic cruelty--for each man kills the thing he loves--men made the Man who speaks as never man spake a vietim of their folly and wrath. They sought to get rid of the disturbing Word from God by clamoring for His execution-- "Let Him be crucified." But even at the very heart of the whirlwind of revolt against Him, He retains the in- itiative and claims the victory. He laid down His life for His enemies, and exerted His power to come back out of the power of Death. In that power to die and to live, He becomes the great High Priest who intercedes for sinful men before the Holy Father: "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." By his dying and the resurrection on the third day, this disconcerting Prophet-Priest accomplished His en- thronement over angels and men. He is the King. His subjects may choose to obey Him in their daily affairs in His domain or they may choose to defy or disregard His kingly writ; but one and all must appear before the judg- ment-seat of Christ, who once appear- ed before them, God riding upon a donkey, majestic and unvanquished in His sacrifice. Sees CBC As Too Costly There are indications that Hon Dr. McCann, national minister of revenue, and the minister under whose juris- diction comes Canada's broadcasting system, will not be enamoured with the report of the Fowler Commission, with its predictions of astronomical spending by the CBC. The Fowler Commission has set down a pattern of spending which is quite the opposite of what Dr. McCann sees as necessary for the national broadcasting body. Speaking in the House of Commons, Dr. McCann admitted that he has had frequent occasion to make representa- tions to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He said: "I am continually admonishing the CBC that they are too expen- sive; that they are employing too many people, and that I think a lot of these things ought to be sut down; that their spending pro- gram ought to be curtailed as much as possible." As the minister in charge of broad- casting in Canada, the Hon. Dr. Me- Cann was quite within his rights in expressing the desire for less extrava- Editorial Notes The new budget proves one thing-- that people are being made more and more wards of the government.

Indeed, he is to be commended for his efforts in the direction of economy, since that is not an attribute of most gov- ernment departments. To a large extent, however, the a- mount of money the CBC can spend is determined by parliament. It could, if it so desired, vote such money as it wished to the CBC, with instructions that spending be kept within that amount. Obviously, there is a limit to what Canada can afford to pay for the radio and television offerings of the CBC. Parliament's duty is to set that limit, and then to insist that the staff employed lives within its budget. It should not be a case of finding the money to meet whatever deficits the CBC may care to pile up. In fact, it should not even be neces- gary for the mister of national rev- enue to edmonish the CBC for over- spending. If the management is such that it cannot or will not live within the limits set for it, then it should be replaced. That is exactly what would happen in private business.

Because such reactions deter- mine to a large extent, a nation- al culture, the Institute has for a week departed from its usual job of reporting attitudes towards major issues and probed into the smaller habits of everyday life. For example: Canadians are letter writers. One in five males, one in ten fe- males have, at some time, writ- ten their Member of Parliament. No less than 14% have written a letter to the editor. Here again men are slightly more articulate than women. : Slightly more than half the ad- ult male population (54 per cent) have been up in an aeroplane; slightly more than a quarter of the women. If you feel 'it's a man's world, note that 52% of women claim to have refused at least one marri- age proposal in their lives. Only 169% of males have had this op- portunity! On the other hand, while only 149% of women admit to having crashed a party at some time, and 23% admit to having cheated at cards, the figure is higher on both counts for the males 23% and 31% respectively. The notably high total of 72% of the population have at some time in their lives bought some- thing on the instalment plan, men and women showing the same fig- ure. One in five people have had the experience of seeing their double --a person who looks almost ex- actly like them. Again, proportion of men and women is the same, On the headaches of motoring: 11% have received ticket for speeding (20% of men; 3% of women) -- 329% have received a parking ticket (48% of men; 16% of women) -- 21% of the popula- tion have had the experience of forgetting where they parked their cars. Following Wednesday's report that nearly eight in ten adults have been a patient in a hospital is the additional inforrhation that almost a third (31%) have had a major operation, One final item; no less than 16% of women have had at least a few puffs of a cigar! World Copyright Reserved U. K. OPINION Cutting Britain's Cost Of Defence Realistic By "ONLOOKER" Of the London, England Bureau of Thomson Newspapers Britain's just-announced cuts in defence costs -- a whittling down of regular forces strength to 357,- 000, cutting costs by $607,000,000 during the coming year as a start--shows how Britain is at last facing facts in this nuclear age. It acknowledges that from now on the "go it alone" men- tality is out. Only with her allies, it is now admitted, can she really hope to put up a worth-while de: fence against. the threat of nu- clear attack. : Duncan Sandys, Britain's De- fence Minister, has 'certainly shocked traditionalists. Out will go many famous regiments, regi- ments whose history has gone back two or three hundred years. Out will go, before 1970, the bulk of the manned fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force. Instead, the boys in light blue will be more concerned with handling the new missiles that Britain is to make and America is to send, Another blow to the die-hards: the Navy, after ten years of inter- departmental struggle has now admitted that it is no longer ex- cept in years, the "Senior Serv- ice," but rather part of the whole defence set-up. Out soon will go the five battle- ships the UK. still maintains. Four of them are now in moth- balls. but they still take up thousands of dollars a year to maintain, Instead Britain is to follow the American pattern and create "task force" fleets -- a carrier supported by a number of other, smaller ships. THANKS TO A DRIVER Pushing the cuts through Par- liament will be Sandy's next -- and perhaps toughest--job. Sandys is quite a character -- square-jawed, rusty-haired, in his 40s now but looking as if he could still hold his own in a physical as well as a Parliamentary scrap. He is -- but only by the way -- son-in-law to war-time leader Churchill. And what he really owes his present praminence to is the degree of sleepiness of a cer- tain Army driver. Thanks to him, a truck in which Sandys, then a colonel in the Art. fllery, was travelling crashed in Norway in 1940. Sandys was In- valided out. = So he turned to politics. It was he who first attracted notice by assessing the possible efiect of Germany's creation of the flying bombs and the rockets of World War II. He came out of the war very rocket-conscious. The result Britain is seeing today. BUSY TIME With his announcement of de- fence cuts, which will be debated at Westminster before Easter, Sandys has kicked off a busy session, The Budget is due soon. There will be harsh speaking on Cyprus, with more acid comment on the release of Archbishop Ma- karios. When Easter comes along, members of parliament here -- and especially Mr. Macmillan, the Prime Minister -- will have earn- ed a rest, INTO SPRING Talking of Easter--it looks as if it might be a good one here. The winter that seven--or eight-week period of cold and fog, snow and sleet which makes January and Febru- ary a bit of an ordeal for Lon- doners, Instead the country seems to have slipped into Spring. And I've 'just been invited to an event which seems designed to keep the light-hearted mood up. It is at a public house in Brom- ley-by-Bow, 'in London's East End, on Good Friday. 1 am to watch a sailor hang a bun from the ceiling. The bun-hanging goes back hundreds' of years, to the time when on the site of the pub -- it is called "The Widow's Son" -- there was a cottage inhabited by an old widow and her son. The son wanted to go to sea, and promised to be home by Easter. He did not return. But that Easter, and for every Easter until she ' died, the old woman put aside a hot-cross bun for her son. When she did die, neighbors found the buns, and in the son's memory hung them from the ceiling. The cottage is gone now, but the bun-hanging goes on. Each year a new bun is hung from the ceiling by a sailor home on shore leave. BRIGHTER YET? There are other indications that this might be a bright Easter. As 1 write, the annual Budget is within a few days of publication. It is expected to bring. some re- lief---not, it is true, as much as most Britons hope, but some, Looking for most relief is what used to be called the middle-class -the upper-working class now. These are the people in the $2800- $5000 a year salary group. Up to now, successive parties of all colors have been giving the biggest concessions to the lower working class, and now there is increasing agitation for the "ex- middle-class," whose earnings have not gone up anything like those of the lower-paid workers, to get a fairer crack of the whip. has passed without MAC'S MUSINGS It has been a genuine Pleasure to work with The Junior Chamber of Commerce in preparing Its series of broadcasts Dealing with the history And development of Oshawa As an industrial city, And to help in presenting To our citizens what is A truly fascinating story. The Junior Chamber is To be congratulated on Working out this idea For presentation as a Series of broadcasts, Because it is very fitting That all of our people Should know something Of the background of the Industrial life and the Early history of Oshawa. The enterprise of these Young men is specially Commendable when we know That many of them have Not lived long in Oshawa But they are already well Imbued with the spirit Of giving their service To the community as Young, men who will be Some of its civic leaders In the years that lie ahead. So it has been a real Privilege to be allowed To have a small part in This worthwhile venture Of the Junior Chamber, And it has also been Encouraging to find that So many of our people Have enjoyed hearing The story of Oshawa as Told on these broadcasts. SUBS SPOTTED WASHINGTON (AP) -- The commander-in-chief of the U.S. Atlantic fleet steered carefully around questions Wednesday about reports that Russian sub- marines are keeping watch on the ballistic missile test range off the Florida coast. Admiral Jerauld Wright told reporters he could state only what he had said be- fore--that an increasing number of unidentified submarines have been contacted in the last three years. But the whole idea of tax re- lief, says the London paper, "The Times," must go beyond the idea of letting the wage-earner keep more in his pocket. There must be a determined effort to get the £1 sterling a worth-while unit of currency again. A £100, points out "The Times," will only buy £40-worth of goods today. CHARTERED A Dial RA J.
