THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gozette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. § Oshawa, Ont Monday, November 4, 1957 Poge 6 Great Effort Is Required To Meet Che * The Chatham Daily News, the other day carried an editorial rejoicing at the fact that for the first time in nine years of campaign, the Chatham Com- munity Chest had passed its objective, It also makes the claim that Chatham is the first city in Canada to report that it has achieved its chest objective, We congratulate Chatham on this year doing what has always been con- pidered normal in Oshawa Community Chest campaigns, For 14 years, the people of Oshawa, except for the year of the long G:M. strike of 1955, have gone well over the objective in their Community Chest effort, This year, for some reason, the Osh- awa Cbmmunity Chest is dragging much more than in any previous year. 1t may be that the October outbreak of influenza hampered the canvass, or Driving Hazard With the' advent of winter, whether we like it or not, we can anticipate the arrival of our first snowfalls, and our first coatings of ice on the highways, when winter conditions arrive, we are at once foreibly reminded that it is nec- cessary to exercise much greater care end caution in the driving of motor vehicles, Every year, we hear the same old story of serious traffic accidents be- cause drivers are forgetful of the fact 'that snowbound and ley surfaces on the roads demand more care in driving. These conditions are varied in their character. Slippery roads are an invi- tation to disaster to the careless driv- 'er, Falling snowflakes restrict the vis- don and add to the perils of the road and as a result tle possibility of traffic -accidents are increased. st Objective that the campaign began before Osh awa's major industry had returned to , full employment, Whatever the reason, it is strange to see Oshawa lagging behind so badly in its annual Community Chest effort, It is entirely contrary to the splendid record of the past in campaigns of this kind, It is going to be necessary to make a concentrated all out effort to reach the objective of $156,900 set for the campaign, We feel sure that when the work is completed, and all of the re. turns have been received, Oshawa will maintain its record of always going over its objective, Nothing less will do if the 17 participating agencies are to maintain their activities, Nothing less will be worthy of Oshawa's high repu- tation 'n Community Chest efforts. s Or Winter Modern snow removal equipment makes it possible for motorists to use our highways all the year round. But the use of this equipment does not en- tirely remove the added hazards of driving under winter road conditions. During this hazardous period, then, one would expect that the law of self- preservation would be sufficient to cause motorists to exercise additional care on the highways, Every driver should be anxious to protect himself and his fellow citizens when the roads are icy and snowbound, and when vis- ibility is poor. If motorists will take the necessary precautions to protect themselves from winter driving haz. ards, everyone elee will be protected at the same time. Try New Tactics In Cyprus : wlhere is much significance in the 'change the British government has 'miade in the governorship of the trou- 'bled island of Cyprus, Two years ago 'Fleld Marshall Sir John Harding, a mil- itary martinet and former chief of the Imperial General Staff, was sent to 'Cyprus as governor, At that time an 'apen state of revolt and terrorism ex- .sted. Sir John Harding was given the task of curbing the terrorism, and re. storing peace to the island. This, we 'believe, he has succeeded in doing. Now Sir John Harding is giving up his position in Cyprus, He is being re- 'placed by an entirely different kind of governor, a civilian type official in the person of Sir Hugh Foot. This is quite likely the result of de- liberate planning on the part of the British government to make a different Bits Of Verse RACE WITH RAIN Wind from the south, warm with the scent of rain, And oh, remembering, 1 am a child again Running to elimb to the top of the log corral; Small thunder of hoofs responding to whistled call A child and a young mare thrilling to storm's attack A finger of lightning and 1 am upon hér back, And we race with the elements, part of blown wonder there; Wind shaping Ler mane and strelching my braids of hair, .And never was grass so suddenly bright with green, Never the air so crystal washed and clean!

Jertainly the situation today is much more relaxed, The need for a military governor seems to have disappeared. And it may be that the time is propi- tious for a civilian type governor to un. dertake the tasks of conciliation, and to make a fresh effort to solve the very difficult problem which has confronted the British government in Cyprus. We can at least hope that this is the case, 80 that by peaceful and conciliatory methods,, a settlement of the Cyprus problem can be achieved. Editorial Notes It is reported that burglars stole $2,- 000 from a Detroit clergyman's home. We wonder how many Sunday's collec- tions that represented. Other Editor's Views THE ART OF LISTENING (Ottawa Citizen) According to studies made at the University of Minnesota, the average business executive spends 45 per cent, of his working time listen- ing, and it's one of the hardest parts of his job. This is one of the most credible conclusions any university study has ever come to, As everyone knows, even if a man isn't a Busi ness executive' listening takes up more time than it sometimes seems worth, STILL PADDLING (London Free Press) The canoe is one of the oldest means of transportation on this continent, Recently an old dugout was discovered on the bottom of a lake in Central Ontario which is said by archae: ologists to be 5,000 years old. In spite of the outboard motor, which threat- ened to drive it out entirely, the canoe per- sists, Two London youths are trying to paddle down the Thames to Chatham. It is to be hoped they don't run out of water or energy enroute They are demonstrating that the line of the voyageurs hasn't "un out and that the ancient canoe still has its devotees.

About 20 vear About 20 year More than 25 years Responsibility Of Labor Big Point By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Dally Times-Gazette TORONTO-As noted Friday, the Canadian manufacturers bret on labor provided some new thought on traditional 'points of dispute. One of these was the old con. troversy over certification votes. At present a majority of all those qualified to vote rather than a simple majority is required to win certification. Labor has always objected strenuously to this, pointing to parliamentary elections with their simple majority require- ment as a parallel, SAY DIFFERENT But the CMA disagrees with this, It points out that the compar. ison is unsound. For one reason certification represents a change in the form of government rather than merely a choice of the body that will govern. Again it, in effect, grants a continuing status without any provision for the employes to de- cide at regular intervals whether they wish to continue the ar- nl ment, Finally, there is no official op- sition to represent the minor. ty group: certification grants exclusive bargaining rights and no official opposition is contem- plated or permitted. These are practical and strong arguments, The surprising fact is that many times as the observer has READERS' VIEWS heard the issue debated, in both labor and farm marketing mat- ters, never before have they been presented. NO ADVANTAGE A further point that impressed in the brief was a Public "Never", "it's silly", Don't know 100 % The median average of all esti mates falls at 20 years. A companion survey by the af- fillated British Gallup, Poll finds that proportionately more Britons (62 per cen!) than Americans (52 per cent) think that somebody will manage. to get a satellite to the moon, The survey also finds that pro- pottionately three times as ma itons as Americans think it will come about within the next year or two, World Copyright Reserved MAC'S MUSINGS An old comrade of bygone Days, whom we admired and Cherished as a friend, was Lald to rest the other day With all the honors that Go to one who has served His sovereign and country In the armed services In the time of war, We are far from being Alone in our mourning For George Walsh, because In his time, and in his Own particular way, he Used his talents to make Oshawa a happier city In the days where there Was little cause for joy. Ye can recall so many the need for responsibility to the law in labor. There are some of us who have wondered whether this wouldn't be in labor's own Interest, To argue that it would, the CMA took a statement from the late Mr, Justice Brandeis, a member of the United States Supreme Court and regarded as a friend of labor, He wrote: "This practical immunity of unions from legal lability is deemed by many labor leaders a great . advantage. To me it ap pears to be just the reverse. It tends to make officers and mem- bers reckless and lawless, and thereby to alienate public sym- pathy and bring failure upon thelr efforts. It creates on the part of employers also a bitter antago- nism, not so much on account of lawless acts as from a deep. rooted sense of injustice, arising from a feeling that while the em ployer is subject to law, the un- fon holds a position of legal ir- responsibility. . "The unions should take the position squarely that they are amenable to law, prepared to take the consequences if they transgress, and thus show that they are in full sympathy with the spirit of our people, whose political system rests upon the proposition that this is a govern. ment of law, and not of man. Some Suggestions For Building Hockey Arena The Editor, The Times-Gazette Sir, It is with interest that I have read your articles regar- ing a "yes" or "no" for a new arena. At this time 1 would like to add my ideas on the situa. tion 1 agree that our should have an arena, which would be a credit to it This does not necessarily have to be a $1,500,000 edifice, but a practical, well-built place which could be put to use the year round, The day of the hockey rink only is long past Most persons could argue day and night as to the location of such a building, but if I may, | vould like to offer the thought that the area directly south of Loblaw's store in the shopping centre would he ideal. There is plenty of parking space, plenty of inlets and outlets, and it is fair city and one situated between the two high« ways. Besides, this new area might welcome such an addition, To pay for an edifice of this kind would take a large amount of money which must be raised. To do this, 1 would like to offer the following method: With a group of clever young business men in our city (some in the $1,000,000 bracket) it would appear feasible to pick a leader and form a company and sell shares to everyone, industry, business and individuals. In this way, all those who say they want an arena could prove how much they desire it Building it in this arena would be run as a bush ness, and could be put on a profit basis, the same as Maple Leal Gdrdens, and othér private. ly or company-owned arenas, City arenas do not vay, If in way, the when George gave Drcation to many people By his magnificent voice And by the use of his Talents on the stage.

MeINTYRE HOOD For many many years, at this time, we have made strenuous efforts, through the medium of The Times-Gazette, to arouse a real revival of interest in the mu. nicipal affairs of Oshawa. Most of our readers will recall the an. nual articles which have appear- Vv ed, dealing with two phases of the music pal election One was an effort to arouse hd accept Tegtonsivfiitles 18 standing as Br dates for public office, The other was an appeal to the electors to take suff in civic affairs to turn out and vote on election day.

In fact, we have reached a stage at which a 40 per sont vote is considered a heavy vote, REASONS FOR APATHY We have not yet managed to dig deep enough to find the rea- son for this apathy on the part of the electors of Oshawa, It is just beyond comprehension, when' one considers ig stake that the vast malority of Hem have In our Y we have a city in ich the 8 dey cout uf homeowners and payers.
