rS---- a ---- , a dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. 'age 6 -- Tuesday, June 7, 1960 Festival's Development Helped By Times Critic The retirement of Brooks Atkinson, drama critic of the New York Times, at the end of this month, will be a distinct loss to the field of legitimate stage We think it very fitting that although he has spent most of his journalistic car- eer covering Broadway productions, his final official reviews will be of the plays to be presented this summer at the Strat- ford Shakespearean Festival. Despite his modest denial that his in- fluence in the theatre is not as great as it is made out to be, we feel genuinely cer- tain that his judgment has been sound in assessing most of the dramas of which he wrote, and of those who played in them, and that his opinion, both inside the the- atre and among the public generally has been respected very highly Accordingly we believe that his kindly views on the early Stratford festival productions contributed - much to the development of that project as a pro- minent and popular Canadian institution This in no way detracts from the hard and sacrificial work of those early pion- eers who turned Tom Patterson's festival dream into a paying reality. We feel that in placing his stamp of approval upon the venture, Mr. Atkinson perhaps as much as any other, helped to crown their work with success. Recent figures indicate that, to date, 72,000 individual reservations have been made for this season's performances. And the trend indicates that the total attend- ance at festival performances this year may reach 210,000. This compares with 167,000 in 1959 and 171,000 in 1958 which was the best season since the festival began in 1953. Since he took over the job of drama critic for his newspaper in 1925, Mr, Atkinson has witnessed 3,000 play pre mieres. What his influence on each one may never be known, but over the years it has undoubtedly been sub- stantial. Yet in a recent interview he stated that while critics have some in- fluence on the public reaction to a play there "certainly isn't any ability to make or break a show." Be that as it may, Mr. Atkinson's opinion has come. to be widely accepted as discerning criticism, and as such we feel his constructive views and kindly interest in Stratford can be counted as a definite factor in its success over the years. We are happy that he is planning to continue to be active in writing for his paper, although on a wide range of subjects. Would it be too much to ex- pect that now that he is to be freed of the work of reviewing plays he would feel disposed to serve in some Stratford capacity--even on the board of govern- ors or some similar body? We are definitely of the opinion that if he could be induced to do so his wise counsel would be an invaluable asset. Inflation Still Threat A graphic picture of inflation was outlined to the annual meeting of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Asso- ciation by H. W. Thomson, president of the Canadian Banker's Association, who stressed that, inflationary pressure still are pressing on the nation's eco- nomy. He called for a determined effort so that the dollar will stop losing its value and a relatively stable period be achieved. Taking a look at the seven billion dollars on deposit in chartered banks, Mr. Thomson remarked: "Every time the price index, the cost of living--call it what you will--goes up one per cent, $70 million in purchasing power is wip- ed out, the savings of the Canadian people are reduced in terms of pur- chasing power by that amount." Since 1950, the value of the dollar has been trimmed about 20 per cent Of every dollar placed in life insurance in 1950, or left since then in a savings account in a bank, every dollar that has remained in a pension fund for the 10- year period, 20 cents in purchasing power has been spirited away by price rises. Tourists Not The new chill in the cold war has aad no effect on what many Canadians seem to consider to be a much more important matter--their holiday in the USSR. A check by The Financial Post of the three official agents in Canada of Intourist (Soviet travel bureau) shows that no travellers have cancelled pro posed trips to Russia. None had even inquired about the possibility Furthermore, the U.S. State Depart- ment has advised all Americans who plan to visit Russia to go ahead with _ their arrangements. The external affairs department in Ottawa has not offered any advice to Canadian tourists. Cana- The Oshawa Times TY. L. WILSON, Publisher end General Manager €.

Average Daily Net Paid o« of April 30, 1960 15,889 To correct this situation, Mr. Thom- son suggests a hold-the-line policy at the outset, followed by a plan to reinstate some of the purchasing power of the dollar. And he notes that if any deter- mined effort of this nature is to succeed, it must involve government, business and the general public. When we think of the $1,400,000,000 "bank-theft" since 1950 by this insidious force we call inflation, it becomes ob- vious that something must be done, and that right early. Delay in attacking this problem permits further attrition of our dollar value, something which the nation can ill afford, the Quebec Chronicle- Telegraph declares. Unfortunately, there is only one way in which inflation can be conquered. It is not a difficult task, but it is not a popular one, in that it requires some recognition of the .problem, and a pro- gram of retrenchment approaching a level of austerity that may be unpala- table to many. We note, however, that other nations have faced this problem and beaten inflation, to their greater prosperity, the Quebec paper concludes. Chilled dian bookings for Russian travel are running at about the same level as last year, travel agents report. This is cheering, if not reassuring news following the Summit debacle at Paris earlier this month. It is perhaps the only pleasant note in an otherwise tense world situation. We will be hear- ing more bitter speeches from Gromyko and Khrushchev. And there will be in- numerable addresses about the Summit during the U.S. presidential election campaign this summer. But tourists are a hardy breed. They hope, perhaps, that the bitterness of Khrushchev will not be transmitted to the people of Moscow or Leningrad. They are going, convinced that the war of words is unpleasant, but not a reason to forego a perfectly good trip Other Editor's Views CURBED COMPETITION (Wall Street Journal) Let us suppose that when foreign cars first began to make inroads in the American market, the government had promptly slapped prohibitive duties or quotas or otherwise excluded the im- ports. The American consumer would be denied the opportunity to choose between, say, a Volkswagen and a Ford and many cases that would be denying thg choice between a lower- priced and a higher-priced product. Equally important, the major American companies would feel little or no spur to do anything new or different, such as bringing out small cars.

The final report, giving a breakdown of the voting in the election held last December, has just been issued by the ETU Na- tional executive. It shows full Just; tion for the charges which have been made against the national executive. Out of the 702 branches in the Electri- cal Trades Union, the report shows, the votes of 107 branches were invalidated because of al- leged breaches of the rules. In addition, it is recorded that 67 branches did not send in any election returns at all. The result of the election was that Commu- nist Frank Haxtell was elected by a majority of 1034 votes over hi anti-Communist opponent, John Byrne. But, claim those who have criticized the handling of the election, his victory was only made possible by the dis- qualification of the 107 branches whose votes were not included. These votes, they say, would have given Mr. Byrne a majority of over 3000 FINAL ULTIMATUM The Trades Union Congress has stepped right into this une savory situation, and has order- ed the Electrical Trades Union either to take legal action against those who have charged election. | rigging, or have an independent BL body make an inquiry into the garded as seriously as the loss of Mr. Frost himself Good political organizers are a rare breed I'he Liberals, both provincially and federally, have been trying to find one for a long time with- out much success Aud yet much of the health of a party rests with them finding a in this case, rests al- entirely with the premier. our political structure, at as the PC's follow it, the appointment of the organizers and a few other key officials are the personal prerogative of the party leader These posts, of sought-after plums There are many men in field now looking to succeed McKenzie But most of them would even warrant consideration Mr. Frost has to weed through these, and then probably beat the bushes elsewhere and hope to come up with a man who can do a job if not as well as Mr. And the problem of successor most In least course are the Mr not McKenzie at least competently FOR BETTER HEALTH charges against the union lead- ership.

Many of the record 100,000 Ca- nadians expected to visit Britain this year have asked this ques- tion. Last 92,000 Canadians spent an average of $592 each, including their payments to Brit- isi airlines and shipping com- panies for transportation. But this average is a poor guide: some Canadians travelled to Britain by, say, 'a Greek ship- ping line, so their travel costs do not appear in that average. Some stayed with friends or relations in Britain, so their payments to hotels and restaurants were neg- ligible. BY-GONE DAYS 21 YEARS AGO Council voted 6 to 4 against re- instating single unemployed men to the city relief lists. Herbert P. Schell was re-elect- ed president of the Ontario Coun- ty Children's Aid Society. Canadian Knox Glass Co. com- menced work on an addition to the former Oriental Textile build- ing in preparation for manufac- turing glass bottles. Alfred Farrow, Ritson Rd. S., celebrated his 83rd birthday. He had resided in Oshawa for 80 years. Commodore G. Hart and presi- dent S. J. Collacutt performed the ceremony to open the season for the Oshawa Yacht Club. Dean McLaughlin, Canadian champion horseshoe pitcher, led the Canadian team to a 5 to 1 victory over the best United States team at a tournament in Washington, D.C. Oshawa received 12,952 pounds of Canada's surplus butter to be distribvied among the needy families A choir of 55 children from Rit- son Road School under the direc- tion of Leonard Richer, gave a half hour broadcast over CFRB. The singers were from classes taught by Miss Allen, Harvey Knight and Arnold Jobb. An interesting day was spent at Simcoe Street United Church when several organizations were represented in a gathering to honor 59 life members of the Women's Missionary Society. Harry Rowland was guest ar- tist with his bell-ringing at a tea given at the home of Mrs. G. McLaughlin, which was sponsor- ed by the Lyceum Club. An Eliz- abethan play was presented by the club members at the tea, Miss Rita Wilkinson, of Osh- awa, was awarded a scholarship in theory at the graduation cere- monies, St. Michael's Hospital School of Nursing, Toronto. Exceptionally fine exhibits of cattle and horses featured the 29th annual Brooklin Spring Fair. « I found that invaluable "Tips Tourists" can be obtained from British Overseas Airways Corporation, which carries many Canadians to Britain on its com- fortable jet and piston airliners And the tourist pattern and pro- gram is well known to the Brit- ish Travel Asseciation, which has opened offices in Toronto and. Vancouver to help Cana- dians, and maintains a most helpful Information Centre just off Piccadilly, right in the heart of London. LONDON FIRST CHOICE Nine out of ten visitors to Britain spend some or all of their time in London itself, be- cause there is so much to see there which is historical, inter- esting or entertaining. Westminster Abbey, the British Museum, the National Gallery, Changirig the Guard at Bucking- ham Palace, St. Paul's Cathe- dra], the Wallace Collection, the Tate Gallery and the Houses of Parliament are some of the "musts" to which admission is free. The Tower of London (free at weekends only), the Zoo and Madame Tussaud"s waxworks are well worth the small admis- sion charge. A short bus ride from the centre of London, Hampton Court Palace and the Duke of Bedford's 'stately home" at Woburn, outstandingly worth the visit and the gate fee. An added attraction of London to the theatre fan is that six nights a week there is a wide choice of live drama and comedy admirable ballet and opera; and a week of such entertainment need cost no more than one Broadway musical. Tourists in may find it worth while to buy a "Red Rover" pass, which for $4.25 gives the freedom of London buses and underground railways for a week, and will carry the user far beyond the limits of im- ner London; one can rove hun- dreds of miles, from Tattenham on the west to Greenwich and the famous London docks and beyond on the east ROLLING ENGLISH ROAD Outside London, the tourist can use the quick and comfortable railways extensively oh cheap tourist passes; or he can drive himself 'in a hired little English car costing perhaps $30 a week. Hotels outside London offer bed and three meals for no more than one pays for a motel room in Canada. The tourist who chooses to stay in one place can get a confortable room and good meals at attractive -old inns or modern hotels jn the favored Lake District or the Cornish Riviera or Shakespeareland for as little as $30 a week. The Old Wives' Tale is that, following a record season of sup and warmth last summer, the English countryside will this year enjoy the second of a cycle of fifteen good summers. Eng. land is certainly attracting over 1,500,000 tourists this year, nearly four times the pre - war peak, so would-be visitors should book hotel ace jon well in advance, Prices in London are higher than in the country. A first class hotel in London charges $8.50 for room with private bath and breakfast, while lunch or dinner in 4 top restaurant costs $10 a head with wine. But many ac- ceptable hotels and restaurants are available in central loca: tions at half these prices, which makes their cost very moderate by Canadian standards.
