THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesday, June 26, 1957 Saskatchewan Law Really ControlsDimming OfLights At this year's session of the legisla tive assembly of the province of Sas- katchewan, some notable amendments were made to the Motor Vehicles Act. Some of these are rather striking in dealing with what is a problem in On- tario as well as in Saskatchewan. That is the matter of motor vehicle drivers 'dimming their lights when approach- 'ing or passing other traffic on the "highways. * Jn this province, as in the west, the Jaw has long required that motorists 'must dim their headlights when ap sproaching another vehicle. Even if that law is not observed as it should be, it 4s jn the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, and is meant to be obeyed. ! The new Saskatchewan amend- sments, however, are framed to elimi- 'nate another great source of annoy- 'ance, and even danger, in connection 'with headlights. One new section re- quires that a motorist approaching an {other vehicle from the rear, must dim 5 ¢ The question of whether or not wo- men should serve on juries was a con- #roversial subject in Ontario for many years. Finally, as a result of pressure from women's organizations who felt it Was discriminatory to refuse women the right of jury service, the provincial Jegislature passed a law giving them that right. But it was optional with them whether they accepted it or not. = Now an effort is being made to have gompulsory jury duty for women. The plea for such compulsion comes from the Business and Professional Women's Clubs. Recently they sent a delegation to interview Attorney-General Dana Parter, recommending that this be put into effect. © We cannot imagine for one moment $hat the Business and Professional Wpmen's Clubs are expressing the views of all women in making this re- quest. We feel quite sure that house- wives, and mothers with families of children, have their hands full doing their daily tasks without being assign- ed to jury duty which might keep them his headlights when 200 feet behind the car ahead, and keep them dimmed until the ear ahead is passed. And ane other section provides that the driver of the vehicle which is being passed must also dim his lights and keep them dimmed until the car which has passed him has proceeded ahead of him by 200 feet. Most drivers of motor vehicles who have suffered annoyance by the glar- ing lights of vehicles behind reflecting {from the rear-vision mirror will agree most heartily with these two new re- quirements, So long as these sections are obeyed, they will serve a very use- ful purpose. In the final analysis, however, none of this would be necessary if motorists would follow the practice of using only their normal beam headlights at all times except when an amergency re- quires the high-beam lights, The nor- mal beam on modern cars provides all the light any motorist requires for night driving 99 times out of 100. Women Serving As Jurors away from home for days on end. Men who have suffered the incon venience and tiresome duty of serving on a jury will wonder why a group of women is so anxious to have all of their sex subjected to compulsory jury duty. They might have a better sug: gestion to offer. For instance, they might suggest that all women desirous of serving on juries register their names with the sheriff as being avail- able. Then if the B. and P.W.C. mem- bers are so anxious to serve on juries, they could register in a body. There is, however, no valid reason why one small organization of women should seek to foist its views on all women, or why this group should choose to make itself an instrument of compulsion. So far as we are aware, there has been no outery from any other type of women's organizations to have this duty made a compulsory one. In fact, we would not hesitate to say that the request of this delegation is contrary to the views of the majority of the women of Ontario. Slow Down And Live Longer The Canadian Safety Conference. has adopted a new slogan for its eampaign against deaths on the high- way. It is a simple one, but it express- es a great deal. It is warning all mo- torists, whether on a long tour, or merely out for a short drive to "Slow Down and Live Longer." This campaign has the endorsation of His Excellency Governor-General Vincent Massey and former Prime Minister St Lavrent. The latter in his endorsation says : "only persistent vigilance can reduce the tragic toll of the roads, especially during the holi- day season." We agree heartily with Mr. St. Laurent in his plea for "per- sistent vigilance." While the application of this slogan to driving on the highways is of prime Other Editors' Views : IT'S A FAIR WARNING .

It can be applied to those who give no thought to slowing down the pace of their busi- ness life in order to live longer. The pace of life in business and industry is also taking a heavy toll of human lives because too many men have never learned to relax and slow down. They live under constant stress and strain, refuse to heed the warnings of nature and in all too many cases die prema- turely because they have pushed the human engine too hard. . People of this type also need to pay attention to the slogan, "Slow Down and Live Longer." There is not much satisfaction to be derived from keep- ing on working at breakneck speed for sustained periods when it is liable to land one in the grave ahead of time.

Com- pared to 50 in every 10 who con- demn this principle, 38 approve it. Taking the point of view of An- glicans, and members of the Unit- ed Church, two in every three dis- approve the ban on a church mar- riage for divorced persons. Even among members of the Roman Catholic Church one in four say they disapprove of it. Early in 1953 the Gallup Poll re- vealed that there was a fairly even split in the nation's mind on the policy of some churches in re- fusing to perform a marriage if one of the bridal couple has been the "guilty party" in a divorce case. In every 100 Canadians, 44 felt this was right;. 43 did not. Today's question shows a clear- cut belief by half the people that Approve church attitude Disapprove church attitude .... Qualified No Opinion An interesting sidelight od this question is the fact that there is likely to be less: disapproval of this ban among young Canadians in their twenties than in any other age group. In every hundred who divorce should npt bar a church marriage. Trained reporters for the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion asked a sample of the adult public this question: "Now thinking of marriage, some churches refuse to marry couples if one of them has been divorced. Do you approve or dis- approve of this stand on the part of churches?" Taking a look at the nation's attitude shows this picture: 38 50 9 Total 100 The three in every hundred who gave a qualified answer said, in the main, that each case should be judged on its own merit, or that the innocent party only should be permitted a church marriage. Looking at ideas on the subject as between three of the large reli- gious bodies shows this contrast.

World Copyright Reserved OTTAWA REPORT Cabinet Members Are Average Men By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- The Diefenbaker government can proudiy bear the nickname: the taxi-cabinet. For its first association with onlookers in this capital has been while driving in taxi-cabs. . When summoned to his first post-election interview with gov- ernor - General Vincent Massey, Conservative John Diefenbaker travelled by taxi. He hailed a cab outside the Chat Laurier out, in Oldsmobiles and Buicks and one little English car. While the oath was being ad- ministered to those senior mem- bers of the taxi-cabinet, the first Conservative government to be sworn in in 22° years, that taxi- cabinet's flotilla of Ford tax-cabs, from Ottawa's "blue line com- pany", stood in a row outside Government House, in the car park Jormally and just previously hotel, where he and his wife were staying, and drove alone along the river - flanking pretty Sussex Street to Government House--fare $1.05 plus tip. When asked how he would travel to Government House again last Friday, June 21, for the ceremonv of being sworn in as a member of the Queen's Privy Council and as Canada's first minister, Mr. Dief- enbaker replied simply: "By taxi." And when his first 16 cabinet ministers arrived at Government House later that morning, also to be sworn in as cabinet ministers and as privy councillors, they ar- rived humbly and jumbled in a flotilla of four taxi-cabs. This Diefenbaker cabinet is no "high Tory" cabal of wealthy Bay Street boys, feudally chauffeured in limousines. It is, perhaps as never before in our 'history, a cabinet of average and typical Canadians who have heen selected by millions of average and typical Canadians to do the country's most important job. It's leader is a small-town Prairie lawyer: its members include lawyers, school: teachers, businessmen, farmers, a retired Mountie, and a former small - town mayor whose wife operates a dry-cleaning establish: ment THE HIGH LIBERALS By contrast, it was the depart- ing cavalcade of defeated Liberal ministers which appeared like traditional high Tories. It was led from Government House by ex- prime minister St, Laurent, sitting in the back of his Austin saloon car, driven by a chauffeur in live ery. Then fellowed ex-trade min- ister Howe, sitting in the back of his cHauffeur-driven Buick. Then Paul Martin, more democratically sitting beside the un - uniformed driver of his Ford. And so the ls iA4t p by chauf- feur-driven private limousines, Presently Canada's new cabinet came out, of Government House, its installation ceremony con- cluded. While Dief-the-chief spoke into the ranks of microphones, and waved at the phalanx of pop- ping flash-bulbs, his colleagues grouped behind him, in a sub- usc backdrop of dark blue and dark grey suits, lightened by the white shirts of the men and the white dress and bright red hat of the first female to break into that men's preserve, ° For this taxi-cabinet is a his- tory-maker already. In Mrs. Ellen Fairclough, it has Canada's first woman cabinet minister. And it also boasts 'the first minister of Ukrainian extraction in Mike Starr. And if my memory is cor- rect, it 1s also a tradition- breaker in abandoning the formal black morning coat and striped pants for this formal occasion; quite right too with the mercury at 88 degrees. CLOTHES DON'T MAKE MAN But do clothes make the cabinet minister -- or ministress? Well, consider the case of Mike Starr, who motored from Oshawa to Perth last Wednesday to attend the funeral of his former col- league, the late Doc Blair, long- me and popular Conservative After the funeral, Dief-the-chief was just getting into a car to be driven back to Ottawa, when he spotted Mike Starr getting into another to return to Oshawa. He called out that he had been trying to phone him, to ask him to call at his parliamentary office. So Mike made the unplanned trip to Ottawa. Ill-prepared for the most eventful although unex- pected overnight stop of his life, Mike had to stretch his one clean pads ciind and bis slay BYGONE DAYS MAC'S MEANDERINGS - No. 19 Glorious Scenery In The Great Glen By M. McINTYRE HOOD OBAN, Scotland -- So far, the weather we have enjoyed has been the best we have had in any visit to Britain since the end of the second world war. The rain showers have been very few and very short. And now we run into what is considered over here as a heat wave, with temperature today rising to a high of 78 degrees. That is hot for Scotland. Through blazing sun- shine and under a clear blue sky, we have today been travelling through the loveliest scenery we have seen on our whole tour, Jesh s because of the many autiful lakes we have seen, The typically Scottish names of places we have passed have in- trigued us. They are sheer music to the Scotts . Names like Drumnadrochit, Cruanlarich, Carrieshalloch, Aultnamain, Ault- nabruaich and Glasearnoch have = rich sound that is part of the joy of travelling in this land. And there are many others like them. THE MONSTER ABSENT Today we came down fro Strathpeffer to Oban by way of the Caledonian Canal, the great Glen and Glencoe. As we came down from Beauly we came with. in sight of Loch Ness, a long, shimmering expanse of water which we followed for 24 miles, all eyes were on the alert for a glimpse of the famed Loch Ness Monster, but it failed to put in an appearance, much to the dis. appointment of our passengers. At Fort Augustus, where we had the usual stop for morning coffee, we were interested in the locks of the Caledonian Canal, six of them in a row rising one above the other. This canal, with Loch Ness, Loch Lochy and Loch Linnhe which form part of it, forms a continuous waterway from Inverness, on the Moray Firth to the Atlantic on the west have ] coast and in effect cuts Scot across the cen- two islands. And the everywhere along the route we saw scenes of breath - taking beauty as the hills rose from lakes shining in the sun, Great masses of rhododendrons, appar- ently growing wild on the moor. lands, and forming massive, col- orful hedges along the roadsides, added to the glory of the scenery. How they came to be there rather mystified us, as they were far from any human habitation, MEMORIAL TO COMMANDOES As we came through the wild rugged country of Invergarry, we saw, on a commanding height, a most impressive memorial, sur- mounted by three figures of sol- diers, more than life-size, carved in bronze. This was a memorial to the Commandoes of the British Army in the second world war, and the inscription noted that they had done their training in these rugged hills, As we passed through Glen- garry, we were reminded that from this bleak, hilly country came the Macdonnells, who about 150 years ago migrated to Can- ada, and settled the county of Glengarry in' Eastern Ontario. Down to fairly recent times, that was the only part of Ontario where the native Gaelic was still spoken. And as a vote on how districts change, it is today very largely a French - Canadian county, /RIGHEST MOUNTAIN As we came down the Great Glen into Fort William, we were ringed around by mountains, but their peaks were shrouded in thick mist, cutting them off from 25 YEARS AGO Burns Presbyterian Church, a charming white frame edifice with, its quaint steeple seen high above the trees in the little village of Ashburn, celebrated the 75th anni- versary of the building of the church by the Scottish pioneers who settled in the virgin forests of Whitby township. The build- ing of the church represented the ciumination of several years of planning and sacrifice among thie early settlers. Among these sett- lers were' the Heron, Anderson, Davidson, Wilkin, Gardner, Pyle, Miller and Ross families and Srery Scottish family .in the dis- rict. C. W. Detenceck, for many years in the men's clothing busi- ness in Oshawa, but retired for some years, announced his return to business life in Oshawa as part- ner of Don Kinloch, under the name of D. and K.

The board is now being more lenient on financing of commis- sion projects. It is still keeping down over-all spending but isn't being so stuffy py some of its regulations. On the Toronto Township sew- age Yogram, for instance, it had been holding up progress through a technicality, The program, the first big project the commission is undertaking, was approxed by cabinet and ready to go. But the board insisted that be- re any work could be done, there would have to be full en- gineering and tenders on the dis- posal plant, the last project in the program. To get these would have meant four months' delay. Without them, laying of sewers could be started immediately. The board at first was adamant. But then word came down from above and it changed its mind, And with the change a more lib- eral policy came into effect throughout. BIG PROJECT The commission, incidentally, is FOR BETTER HEALTH - Most Important Drink Is Just Plain By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD You can't live very long with- out water. It plays a vital role in our everyday life. Yet except dur- ing extremely hot weather, you probably seldom think about it er about how much you need to keep healthy. NOT ENOUGH The simple truth is that very few of us drink enough water. Fortunately, nature comes to the rescue by placing a sizable sup- ply of it in many of the foods we eat. While we doctors know water is important to our health and physical development, we do not know precisely what role it plays in many ways. However we lleve that our development, nu- trition, growth of cells and our health in general depend upon certain chemical reactions. If these reactions are to be car- Pearkes Drops Military Rank OTTAWA (CP)--Defence Minis- tér Pearkes has directed that his military rank be dropped because he wishes to emphasize his civilian functions as minister. One of his first acts as minister of national defence--he was sworn in Friday--was to issue instruc- tions that he will be referred to as 'the honorable George RI Pearkes." The minister, now in London with Prime Minister Diefenbaker for Commonwealth talks, holds the military rank of major « general. His military decorations include the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Order and Military Cross. Mr. Pearkes also directed that his Canadian army pension be suspended immediately.

If it does not, these actions are incomplete and our health suffers. Although nature provided our bodies with a method of storing fat, she neglected to establish similar facilities for storing water. She did, however, supply us with a sort of an automatic danger signal which warns us when our bodies need water. The signal, of course, is thirst. Generally, the amount of water you drink in a single day can be regulated pretty safely on the basis of thirst. If you are exces- sively thirsty or otherwise in ill health, it is a different matter. For the average person in good most doctors recommend from six to eight glasses of water and other liquids a day. EIGHT GLASSES A DAY On warm days especially, you probably should drink about eight glasses each day. A sort of forced-feeding method might be advisable. Whether you are thirsty or not, drink a glass of water at regular intervals dur- ing the hot summer days. ou must remember that we have millions of perspiration lands, miles of ducts, lungs and idneys. Through these we lose about three quarts of water each ay. To maintain good health we must immediately and continu- ously replace all this lost fluid.

The question of water supply in the future is one of the commfs- sion's big jobs, of course. It was the threat of a major water short- age that was partly responsible for its being established. Experts confidently expect the day will come when it will be operating major supply system, taking water from the Great Lakes and distributing it through a grid system. Actually it would have liked to have its surveys on resources started before now. But, as with everything else these days, shorts sje of qualified personnel was an, stacle, It now hopes, however, that this year the basic work on water tables and related factors will be completed at least. INSURANCE BOOST Observers will be keeping an eye on the insurance industry for the next while, There have been indications that the industry is getting reading for an increase in rates in the auto and fire fields. If it does, there may be people looking for the government to step in and cut it down. There is control of rates in the Joverament's hands -- though it as never really used if. And at least one member of the cabinet, Attorney-General Roberts has publicly implied that the in- dustry now makes pretty satis- factory profits. i i E -- il «¥ i i 0) ing seemed to tower ov mountains which companion guardians Glen. iz GLOOMY GLENCOE Then we came to Glencoe, & valley in the midst of dark gloomy mountains, looking as they were still ent mourners over the MacDonalds who slaughtered the Campbells the historic ssacre of Glencoe in 1790. In Loch Leven, at Glen. coe, we passed the burial isle of the Mac] where the chief victims of laid to rest under the the turn mountain, the Paps of Glencoe, where the slaughter took place. As we went on through this gloomy glen, we were im- pressed by the deep gorge run- ning through it. Away up on the hillside, were large caves. We wondered if these were used as hiding places in the troublous times when the clans were at each other's throats. Out of Glencoe, drove through the desolate Rannoch Moor, guarded by Ben Eteve and on, the other side came to Loch Eteve, which we followed until we were on more level ground, with the mountains behind us, as we again drew near to the coast. BEAUTIFUL OBAN All day we had been travelling in scorching sunshine, but the open bus windows gave us .a grateful breeze. And as we came into the lovely summer resoft town of Oban, the fresh, tan air of the Atlantic brought a wel- come relief from the heat. Oban is a lovely town, built on the slopes surrounding a semy-circu- lar bay of the Atlantic. Sut on the horizon we could see the slop- ing hills of its guardian island of Mull, and near it, Staffa and Iona. An early and quick dinner gave us a long evening on the prome- nade which runs along the water- front. It was crowded. There was ample evidence that the heat wave had driven many people from the Glasgow district to the sea coast in search of cool ness. And there they were, stroll. ing in leisurely fashion along the Promenade, We walked fits full ength, and then sat down on one of the benches to look on the beautiful scene as the sun drop- ped lower over the distant is- lands, and set the ocean ablaze with yellow and orange reflec- tions, finally deepening as the twilight deepened, and the heat of the day was mellowed by an oc breeze. In front of us lay the ocean and the islands. Behind rose the everlasting hills, dotted with white villas. The scene reminded us of some of the vistas to be seen on the French Reviera near Monte Carlo, where there is a somewhat similar setting of vil- las in the hills, We were loath to go indoors, but it had been a long day of tir ing travel, and so finally we join ed our company in the lounge for the inevitable cup of tea which ends the day over here.
