THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Federal Help But It Won't A delegation from the Canadian Teachers' Federation, headed by G. L. Roberts, principal of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute, visited Ottawa this week, and came away con- vinced that the Diefenbaker Govern- ment is fully aware of the crisis in Ca- nadian education. This, of course, is still a long way from assurances that the federal Government will take some definite and appreciable action to ease the situation. Still, there is no doubt that ultimately federal authorities will be deep in the business of 'giving fin= ancial help to education, below the university level -- they are already making some fairly modest grants to institutions of higher education, There are constitutoianl roadblocks in the way, Education is a provincial responsibility, and at least one prov- ince has made it very clear that it must remain so, arguing that no gov- ernment will make substantial money grants without wanting some say about the spending of the money, This would result in a serious invasion of provin- cial rights by the central authority, an invasion that would spread from edu- cation to other fields. There are constitutional roadblocks 'solved; more, they must be, Our stan- dards of education cannot be permitted 'to vary wildly between provinces and Saturday, June 7, 1958 Must Come Be A Gift between regions within provinces. Yet' there cannot help but be a variation when one province is richly endowed with , resources and another is not. Moreover, by far tlie greater share of the tax dollar (on the order of 80 per cent) goes to the Federal Government, Some of it comes back under the tax- sharing agreement, but Ottawa is still the big gainer, The big eollector is much better able to afford the finan- cial demands than are ten small cole lectors, The demand of education is one that must bé met, In this competitive world, we mush produce informed minds more than anything else. Without these our missiles and machines can destroy us just as surely as the missiles and ma- chines of an enemy, . There is one aspect of the issue, how= ever, that we should not ignore. When the Federal Government decides to extend its aid to education, it will be taking on another fixed charge. The cost of education will be added to those other costs (pensions, mothers' allow= ances and so on) which cannot be ex- pected to decrease. If the money can- not be saved elsewhere in the federal budget, it will be a éonstant addition to federal expense, And the "Government cannot pluck money out of thin air; it must turn to the taxpayer. Federal help to education will not be a gift, Kind Words And Sand Traps Every foreign dignitary who visits President Eisenhower barely has time to change his socks before he is rushed out to a golf course. It does not seem to matter whether the visitor lekes to play golf or not--and there must be at least one president or premier or min- ister of state who thinks the time in {Washington could be more profitably spent on something other than hitting a little white ball and walking after it. Prime Minister Macmillan of the United Kingdom has been getting the golf treatment, but it seems that Mr. Macmillan is a golfer himself. Indeed, one unreconciled Scotsman was heard to observe that Mr. M. was a better golfer than Mr, E.--a cunning Scottish device to renew the war of 1812, no doubt. Admirers of Mr, Eisenhower have been suggesting that such problems as the nuclear bomb and control of outer space could be more easily thrashed out around the fourth green 'than the formal conference table. "Under a summer sun," one of them enthused, "with the fresh smell of grass, an occasional shot that goes straight for the pin, and the warm ca- maraderie of trying to blast out of a sand trap together, world problems just might dwindle in size somewhat." Perhaps -- but we doubt it. If there is any place in which there is less warm camaraderie than a sand trap, we do not wish to hear about it, The possibility is horrifying, The grass may have a sweet fresh smell, but what golfer notices it? Grass has been known to grow an inch in a split sec= ond, just to deflect a putt, The frustra= ted golfer is not always a grass lover, else he would not spend so much time trying to beat it to death. We do not know if Mr, Khrushchev has ever put a golf ball into orbit, but we do know this: If Mr, E. started to talk disarmament to Mr. K. just after the latter got into the rough, World War IIT would be just a No, 7 iron away. How A Man Celebrates The way a man celebrates some con- considerable personal achievement says much about his character. We knew a man once who worked® an average of 16 hours a day for about 15 years and finally amassed a million-dollar for=- tune; he celebrated by staging a party that lasted two weeks, and might have gone on longer had it not been abrupt- ly terminated by the heart seizure that removed the host, The other day Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals got the 3000th hit of his brilliant career as a major league basebal] player. He celebrated -by buy- ing a house, But it was not for the Mu- sials, It was for Mr. and Mrs. Dick Kerr, in Houston, Texas. Dick Kerr was a stout-hearted little pitcher for the Chicago White Sox three decades ago. When his arm weak- ened he became a scout and a coach. In 1940 he saw Musial at a farm-club training camp and saw in him the signs of greatness. Musial Was then a discouraged young man, thinking about turning from baseball to another car- eer, for there were few to agree with Kerr's estimate of his potential ability. Kerr worked with Musial, instructed him and, better still, encouraged him. Musial went on to greatness--a jour- ney that all too often is strewn with forgotten favors, But Musial did not forget. The Kerns wanted a home of their own. They got it, when Musial got his 3000th hit, Place Names Resist Change Tradition dies hard. A few months ago a rumor that the city of Moose Jaw, Sask. was planning to change its name was quickly spiked. Now comes world that the town of Little Prairie in Northern British Columbia will con- tinue to be known by that name des- pite efforts of the Pacific Great East- ern Railway to name the community (or at least the station stop) Chet- wynd after Hon, Raiph Chetwynd, the Minister of Railways for British Colum- bia which owns the line. A poll of the citizens found them to be 100 to 4 in favor of retaining the name Little Prairie, and so Little Prairie will be, as far as the Post Office Department is concerned.

Those defending the name said the community was in existence long before Hitler was ever known, and they pointed out that the swastika was an old symbol of good luck. The name remained, Of course there are occasions when communities change their name. This happened during the First Great War when the Ontario city of Berlin, settled by German immigrants, voted to change" its name to Kitchener. But there are many place names which we would not want to sce chan- ged because of their quaint nature. Everyone knows of the town in the mid-western United States that is known as "Santa Claus". The same is true of Canadian centres. There are enough unique names that a writer wag able to make a whole article on the subject, and it was printed in a recent issue of the Canadian National Rail- ways magazine "Tracks". The names there include "Come - By - Chance", "Jelly", "Embarras" and significantly enough on a railway line, a "Chu Chua", and a "Twig" on a bragch line. We know a place' in eastern Ontario that is known Enterprise but by scanning the place names listed in the Tracks article, we would say that it would take a lot of enterprise even' to dream some of them up, as STEPPING STONES TO PEACE 'GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Plenty Of Volunteers For First Space Trip By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Is there anybody in Canada so foolhardy as to volunteer for the first trip in an earth satellite? Scientific measurement shows that there are about four hun- dred thousand adult Canadians who would step forward if the call for volunteers should go out. On the national average, four in a hundred adults would offer themselves for the exper- jerce. Scientists would be most like- ly, however, to find recruits for the test among Maritimers, and among young men in their twen- ies. The spirit of zdventure in the sea-girt Maritimes shows up with 7 in a hundred saying they would volunteer. The 'enthusiasm decreases westward, with 5 in a hundred in Quebec volunteering, and 3 in a hundred in Ontario and the West thinking they would do so. The New World has no edge in adventure over the Old. At the same time the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion was checking on national response to the sug- gestion, the British Institute was doing the same. Results, as the table below shows, were almost identical. The question put to what may OTTAWA REPORT Newcomers mentary playground, in which new MPs can make their orator- ical debut with the tolerance of the House. Ten May days were devoted to this debate, which was more than usually a playground; for per- haps never since that Confedera- tion Parliament have there been $0 many newcomers anxious to make their bow. One hundred and thirty - six speeches were heard, by MPs ranging from political giants such as the prime minister and the Opposition leader, to political rookies such as Moose Jaw's Ernie Pascoe and Quebec City's J. E. Bissonnette. Many of these were "maiden speeches." The first time a new MP addresses the House is something different. Usually delivered in the Throne Speech debate, which permits free - ranging oratory with no themes barred, it is devoted largely to a rose-tinted review of his riding. THE SUNSHINE TOWN "Doc Rynard, the compara- tively new (elected in 1957) MP from Orillia, gave us an admir- able sample of the correct blend between the preftiness and the problems of his riding. "Simcoe East is one of the recognized beauty spots of Can- ada," he told an unusually well attended chamber. 'I extend to all Honorable Members an invita- tion to visit this Little Canada, and enjoy its beauty and i ideology and, perhaps, seek a home or business there." This "Little Canada", bounded on the north by Georgian Bay and on the south by Lake Simcoe, was already being successfully farmed when Champlain first visited there in 1613, he added. I recall that Doc Rynard told ne the Huron Indians made that the first part of Canada in which agriculture was regularly prac- tised, with corn, tobacco, hemp and squash being cultivated. Ernie Pascoe, who captured Moose Jaw from the CCF spoke for the Western farmer. "We will all watch with a great deal of expectation and hope the Commonwealth Trade and Eco- nomic Conference this fall, the first big 'international step planned by the new Conservative government." 'Narrowing his ap- peal, Mr. Pascoe went on to assure us that it would be in the national interest to put more pur- chasing power info the hands of the Western farmer. by interviewers for the Gallup Poll across the country was this: "WOULD YOU VOLUNTEER TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO GO UP IN AN EARTH SAT- ELLITE?"

W. Dan- forth representing Chatham here in place of the former MP Lib- eral Blake Huffman. Blake was barn, raised and resident in Kent County" for some 56 years, and long regarded here as the perfect and perfectiy safe MP. So it is with awe and high expectations that we will watch this Tory who overthrew Mr. Huffman. And Mr. Danforth rode in to the attack in his maiden speech, implying that Mr. Huff- man had not looked after Kent County's interests so well; it needs a seaway harbor, dredging to help the fishing fleet, protec- tion as well as export assistance for its corn, a higher support price for its sugar beets, and government contracts to aid its small steel industries. VISITORS TO DRAMA Thus this debate, the drama staged for political debutantes, was spread over parts of the first three weeks of the new session, before unusually crowded galler- ies. Among the visitors have been many schoolchildren, foreign diplomats, distinguished visitors from overseas, and equally dis- tinguished Canadians from points east and west. One day last week we were honored by Belgium' BYGONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The opening of the Town Base- ball League was the biggest ex- citement in the town. Reeves Vickery and Mitchell performed the opening ceremonies. King St. Methodist Church celebrated the 60th anniversary of the dedication of the new building, and large congrega- tions thronged the edifice at all the services. The Sunday School enrolment had crept toward the thousand mark. Nurses from the Victorian Or- der of Nurses, Whitby, carried out a medical inspection of the Oshawa public schools. Miss E. A. Baskerville, mis- sionary to the Telugee people in India, delivered . an inspiring message to a large audience in the Baptist Church, Miss Madeline M. Stephens, daughter of George A. Stephens, Reeve of Darlingion, passed her third year exams at Toronto Uni- versity. She obtained the AAAS Scholarship in mathe- matics and physics, and the Gov- ernor-General's medal in modern la uages. M. Finigan, of Oshawa, visited Joshua Mitchell, a comrade in the 16th Kansas Regiment dur- ing the Civil War, while on a trip to the Western States. It had been 53 years since they had seen each other. N. D. Hinkson, jitney driver, returned from a trip to Raches- ter, Syracuse and Buffalo, N.Y. Mr. Spaak, some colorfully robed West Africans, the Connells from Prince Albert, and the Macdon- alds and Ternans from Kam- loops. Mrs. Macdonald was especially interested to draw the parallel ts between the economic housekeep- ing which she heard the prime minister advocate, and the econ- omies which a housewife might effect by an equally searching review of her expenditures. Later at a top-level reception staged in their honor in the office of their MP, who is also Justice Minister Davie Fulton. the Ternans and Macdanalds met, as well as cabi- net ministers and ambassadors, Mr. Speaker Michener himself; and Mrs. Macdonald remarked shrewdly that she had been inter- ested to hear him slap down one MP who asked a trivial question outside the rules, while Mr, Ker- mit Macdonald readied his reper- toire of stories about 'Mr. Speaker." But we never got to hear them. And so the Throne Speech de- bate at last came to its end, re- gretted by none. Now the new Parliament will begin that long program of legislation forecast by the new Diefenbaker govern- ment in the most detailed Throne Speech which I have ever heard. Double-Cross Charged In U.S. Aid Vote WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sena- tor Hubert H. Humphrey today attributed to a state department "double-cross" the one-vale de- feat of a proposal to permit use of United States foreign aid funds for Red satellites. The Minnesota Democrat con- 1ended that the department en- dorsed and helped to write the proposal as part of the' foreign aid bill, but backed down when President Eisenhower decided to ask the authority under separate legislation. Humphrey told a reporter that State Secretary Dulles will be asked to explain in an appear- ance later today before the Sen- ate foreign reialions committee. The Senate, after stormy de- bate, voted 43 to 42 Thursday night, to remove the proposed new authority from the $3,712, 800,000 foreign aid bill.

Unfortunately, this disappeared some time later and no trace of it has been found, The first 11 bylaws passed by council dealt strictly with the every-day affairs of the thriving village. Bylaw No. 1 provided a plank sidewalk on Simcoe street from King street to South Oshawa. Apparently South Oshawa was then the area below Mill street. Bylaw No. 2 dealt with the time and completion of the as- sessment roll, Bylaws 3 to 6 covered limita- tions on the number of taverns in the village. ' TREES PROTECTED Bylaw No. 7 was intended to prevent injury or destruction of trees planted or growing for shade or ornament within the municipality. Many of the love- ly trees now gracing older streets in Oshawa are survivals of that first decade of the com- munity's incorporated existence. Bylaw No. 8 fixed the salaries of certain village officials. Bylaws 9, 10 and 11 concerned assessment, No, 10 placed the assessment of five pence in the pound for village purposes, and No. 11 covered the assessment of five pence in the pound for village purposes, In those days, the pound was with pounds, shillings and pence the legz! tender, One municipal expert has calculated that 1850 tax rate was the equivalent of 41.66 mills on the dollar i3 "medern terms, COUNCIL HALL Meetings continued to be held in Munro's Hotel until at last it was decided to build a council hall, A central location was re- quired, and a simple frame structure at the southeast corner of Centre and Athol streets, Later a "lock-up" was added to this modest building, and still later accommodation for ti manually operated fire-fighting equipment. : The council hall served its purpose for some 15 years and then was sold. It is interesting to note that the original site chosen for a municipal building in Oshawa was a scant hundred yards from the present elabor- ate administrative buildings of the city of more than 50,000 peo- ple. Travel in that first year of in- corporation was by horse and buggy. Six years were to pass before the steam railway of the Grand Trunk was constructed. The electric telegraph was still a novelty and the telephone not yet dreamed of. OTHER VILLAGES Oshawa has outstripped the other villages named in the ori- ginal act of incorporation. It was "an act to provide, by one gen- still the standard of currency," erpl law, for the erection of mu- the of the Province ale ations, and the es- tablishment of regulations of por lice, in and for the several couse ties, cities, towns, townships villages of y May, 1849." pertinent was: "And be it enacted, That inhabitants of every Vi Upper Canada mentioned Schedule to this Act marked A and init corporated Villages,' habitants of eac! er Village, Hamlet which shall hereafter lamation under the corpor t i Bt £5 Ge BJ s5725:% § : y fee gE E i g ® > 83 an incorporated manner prescribed shall be a Body Corpo from the Township or To in which such Village shall situated, and as such shall have perpetual succession and a Com- mon Seal, with such powers as are by upon the inhabitants of the dif- ferent Townships of Upper Can- ada within the limits of such Townships respectively, and the powers of such Corporation shall br exercised by, through, and in the name of the Municipality of such Village.

QUEEN'S PARK New Traffic \ Law Puzzles Walkers By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent fo The Daily Times-Gazeite TORONTO--Not only the man with two left feet has his prob- lems when crossing a street to- da Every - pedestrian must . stop and wonder--is he breaking the law or obeying it. The new law making it an offence to crgss against a red light has most people puzzled. The red light part of it is clear enough -- but most pedestrians, and municipal officials, aren't clear what happens when they cross near a red light. The answer: Nothing happens. They are within the law. JUST BEGINNING The red light legislation repre- sents the first step in trying to control pedestrian traffic. It is a first step in what prom- {ses to be a long program and no one here has any thought that it is perfect. One of the obvious weaknesses is the fact that while the law of the province now says you can't cross against a red light, there is no law that says you can't cross at any time anywhepé else on a street. d There is, that is, no law any- where else than in Toronto, and here there is no attempt to en- force the law. The Toronto law, in fact, points up the whole reason why the province is in the field at all, Ordinarily a matter such as local pedestrian traffic would be left to the municipality. But Toronto found that muni- cipal bylaws just aren't effective in this field. Some years ago it put a "jay- walking" bylaw on the books. But it wasn't able to enforce it, and after the experimental stage has never really tried to. The trouble was while it might get local people to follow the law through education, there was no way in which the thousands of visitors could be expected to know about it. And so it was decided that un- til there was a uniform law throughout the province, at least, there was no paint in trying to stop *'jay-walking." MODEL ACT Jay-walking was too much for the province to try to bite off at the start. So it brought in the red light law only. It will see how it works out-- and apparently it got off to a fairly good start--and then loo into further restrictions. It already, in fact, is circulat- ing a model act of over-all con- trol of pedestrian traffic for study by interested groups. U.K. OPINION - Strike Season In Full Swing By "ONLOOKER" THOMSON NEWSPAPERS London, England, Bureau Out of nearly 100 ships in London's 26 miles of docks, 83 are silent, waiting unloading. On another dozen or so, unloading and loading goes on slowly. Some 15,000 dockers are out on unoffic- ial strike. Into its = fifth week ambles London's busmen's strike. Up in the midlands, in the industrial town of Swindon, 400 men have downed tools at a car body plant, refusing to work with 14 non- union members. These are just fragments of the picture over hére right now. It is the strike season in Britain, Seed from which this situation flowered goes back to the strike of the London busr-en. Transport Trade Unions boss Frank Cous- ins, having four' that the with- drawing of the capital's surface transport has not had the effect most thought, started working towards an extension of the strike. He made plans to bring in power men supplying London's vast subway system, which Lon- doners are using more than ever now to beat the bus shortage. He made plans, too, for pull- ing in the gas tanker drivers. His mood? Militant as usual. A little unhappier than usual, probably, too. He has been suffering from a painful complaint -a cyst in the mouth. It could not have helped matters much. Staying aloof from the whole business at the moment ls the Minister of Labor, who is stick ing to the pronouncement he made when the bu. sirike was a few hours old: "I vill intervene," said he, "when I consider that my interveniion will be worth while . .." THANKS TO CANADA Britain's aircraft workers are pleased with Canada at the mo- ment. Export "gures for April show Canada as the industry's best customer. Canada helped to hoost the British (rade so far this year by more than $2,800, 000 a week. To-day, each seven days the aircraft industry over here is edrning in the region of $8,400,000 in overseas currency. The aircraft manufacturers over here are only too willing to publicize their achievements. The reason: to keep reminding the Government that the industry is doing nicely without interfer- ence from the politicans. But the politicians are inter- fering, more and more each month. There are now some 250,000 workers in the industry. Before the Korean war, there were 150,000. The Government feels that the pre-Korean labor force would be adequate for pres- ent-day needs. They also believe that there are too many small outfits in the' industry. They want more co- operation, not only on specific projects but in the whole manner of working. Some of the big firms have seen the red ..ght. Bristols and Hawker-Siddeley, for instance, are pooling their aero-engine resources and re- search. And more merging will be apparent this year. BRIGHTENING UP Things are brightening up in the entertainment world here. Importations into the London theatres like the Broadway mus- ical "My Far Lady" and the Moscow Arts Theatre players for a short season are doing better than well. So far as '"MFL"" is concerned, the gimmicks of the production are ca' hing on, teo. A small ad in a Sunday paper here offered, not tickets but ticket stubs for sale. 'Impress your friends," said the advertise- ment. "What offers?" But the most exciting thing is a new movie just released called "The Key." It is a British prod- uction for which American writer Highway Hobo Makes Visit WINNIPEG (CP) -- The High- way Hobo of Minneapolis has made its annual visit to Mani- taba. The Hoho is an old school bus remodelled to become 8 home away from home for five Minpesota residents who come to Manitoba every year to fish, The group includes three po- licemen, a gas company troubles shooter and a bartender. They subscribed $150 to buy the bus and then spent $800 and 8,000 hours fixing it up. They ripped out the imside and built bunks, tables, counters and cabinets. Equipment includes an icebox and a gas stove, brigh! curtains, window screens and pictures. In this year's trip from Min- neapolis to Winpipeg the bus averaged 40 miles an hour despite three blowouts and two flats. When it's not in use as a fish- ing camp in summer, it is used by the different shareholders for family vacations. In the winter the men use it for ice fishing trips. Violinist, Artist In Ship's Crew MONTREAL (CP) -- A captain who plays a rare violin and & crewman with a deft touch for oil painting give the Norwegian freighter Sunpolynesia a cultural distinetion. Capt. Stein Stendal, 44, owns 'a 300 - year - old Amati, an instrie ment considered second in quak ity only to the Stradivarius. He plays to relax on voyages. Oii painting is a pastime with Ove Ytrevik, 25, a member of the ship's engine-room staff. He gets up his easel and canvas whenever he has spare time. Mr. Ytrevik, of Christiansund, Norway, likes to paint landscapes from memory while at sea and seascapes when at home. Capt. Stendal, is a native of Lillesand, Norway. He became a captain in 1946. His ship, built last Decembef, plies hetween Jamaica, Montreal and Port Alfred, Que., on the Saguenay River, carrying general goods. " While off the island of Guada- foupe a few months ago the captain and several members of his crew saw what they believe was the piunge to earth of Russ sia"s Sputnik II. ; Capt Stendal described the ims cident thus: "I was on the bridge when J first saw a bright light near the horizon. It flashed toward the ship from the southeast in three pieces, it seemed. One large an two small, eacigfipliowed by a blazing tail. Carl Forman was imported to write the script and American actor William Holden came over to play in it. ; It is a war story, just as im- pressive in its own manner as the now fabulous 'Bridge on the River Kwai." The theme deals with tough tugboat skippers 1941 who have to sail from Eng: lish ports out into the Atlantig to deal with torpedoed ships and, if possible, bring them home. Make a point of seeing this when it comes over. Best aspects of it: Carol Reed's direction, and a whale of a performance from Craggy British acter Trevor Howard. Dial RA Hon. J.
