HE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturdey, June 28, 1958 7 Mayors Against Telephone Hikes, Pension Means Tests STRATFORD (CP) -- The On- tario Association of Mayors and Reeves says it's against tele- phone rate increases -- because they cost more--and for pension- ers' means tests--because they cost less, Mayor Nathan Phillips of Tor- onto, said a telephone rate in- crease is not justified and will only cost residents more money. Mayor Gus Edwards of Mimico said a proposal to drop the means test at 65 rather than 70 would cost $50,000,000. 3 The resolution introduced by Mayor Phillips was d and Mayor Allan Johnston of Lon- don proposed supporting old age pensions without a ans test at the age of 65. Tests dre now nec- essary until the pensioner reaches 70. Mayor Johnston said a similar resolution had been ac- cepted by the Canadian Federa- tion of Mayors and Municipal ties.

Moving that the petition be sub- mitted, Cramahe township reeve D. R. Dingwall said the season should be limited to three days and that hunters be limited to the use of shotguns. He was against the use of high-power rifles and hunting dogs. The proposed open season will be operative in the territory bounded by Highway 7 and the line of Highway 401 within Nor- thumberland county.

Less Time Lost In Disputes OTTAWA (CP)--Industrial dis- putes cost Canada less time loss during May than during April, a federal labor department sum- mary of strikes and lockouts in- dicated Friday. A time loss of 71,620 man-days during May was a substantial re- duction from the 122,470 reported for April although work stop- |pages - showed an increase in number, 33 against 32. The num- ber of workers involved, how- ever, was 8,238 during May, against 11,964 in April. The May decrease, the sum- mary said, resulted from the termination at the end of April of 'a British Columbja construc- {tion industry dispute that had in- volved 3,000 workers. More than |ofte-quarter of the time loss dur- |{ing May was from another B.C. run wound up Thursday with a Ford, said that the week before Jack was the leader of the con-| 4; te" involving 1,000 workers. huge civic welcome as more than 40 antique cars, reminiscent of another era, rolled across tam fipish line in Brighton. Civic dig- nitaries, brass bands, and drum majorettes greeted the cars as they paraded through the streets. The tour, patterned after the old-established Lonodn to Bright- on run in England, began last Monday, and not one of the an- cient horseless carriages, which date as far back as 1903, failed to' cross the finish line on time Climax of the tour was a ban- quet staged in Presqu'lle Park in the evening. Here the drivers were presented with trophies and plaques commemorating the event.

Every nut and bolt in the two cars are originals, he said, and to restore them to their former pristine state he had stripped them down completely. "We New Zealand MP Objects To Phrases In Language By J. C. GRAHAM : Canadian Press Correspondent ! AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP) -- A] New Zealand member of Parlia- ment has called for a ban on a phrase widely used throughout the country. | It is not indecent or abusive. In fact it is a particularly mild expression. But he claims it re-| flects an attitude to life that' should be '"'winkled out." The phrase that N. G. Picker- ing, a 'Labor MP, dislikes is 'she's right, mate," or "she'll be right." NATIONAL MOTTO The expression might almost, indeed, be called the national motto to judge from the usage it gets from all types of people. "Basically it means: "Don't worry, everything will turn out all right." Or: "That's good enough, no need {6 be too fussy." Another variant of the same idea also widely used is the phrase: 'Near enough is good enough." The whole outlook conveyed by these expressions is strongly crit icized by those who believe that New Zealanders tend to take life too easily. They claim people in this country are not exacting enough and do not take enough pride in their work or product This approach, some critics maintain, is a byproduct of the welfare state. They claim it kills initiative, and an aggressive, competitive spirit.

Some people say it is better to take things fairly easily and not to worry. It may not produce a na- tion of millionaires, but it will produce a nation with fewer ulc- ers. Some authorities on the langu-| age also claim that phrases like "she's right," or "near enough," are not a true indication of na- tional attitudes, but just an indi- cation of modesty and a tend- ency to understatement. New Zealanders, one expert says, dislike superlatives. During the war, he says, when New Zea- land, airmen landed a bomb dead on target, their observer would report "'pretty fair," or "near enough, mate." Such expressions, according to these authorities, conceal a pas- sion for perfection no less keen for being masked by a casual outward air. every man enjoys pi INDIAN CLERIC MOOSE JAW, Sask.
