Fhe Oshavon Times Published by Conadian Mewspopers Limited, £6 King st, E., Oshows, Powe 6 Ont, esr Wednesday, November 30, 1960 Mayoralty Contest May Rouse Oshawa Interest The Mayorsity contest may help to lure Oshawa voters to the polls in next Monday's municips! election, but unless there is a sharp reversal of the postwar trend, less than half of the eligible voters will cast ballots, Indeed, the totsl may well be less then 33 per cent of the electorate -- the figure in the 1958 elec tion in Oshaws was a shade over 27 per cent. Oshawa's voters are no different from those in most other Canedian cities. There seems to be a general and enor. mous public spathy towsrds voting in municipal elections, and odd and dis turbing situation when one considers the much grester interest in provincial end federal elections, When a substantial majority of voters consistently ignores municipal elections, one can only assume thet (a) they don't care, or (b) they do not think there is enough difference between candidates to warrant choosing sides, or (¢) they do not think municipal wovernment worth bothering about, On the other hand, they clearly feel much more strongly about the senior govern. ments, Yet municipal government is the one over which the voter can exercise the wentest control. Every yeor or two he gets the chance to change it, and in be tween times he is only a telephone call away from its members, It is the govern. ment thet exerts the biggest influence on the shaping of the kind of community he lives in, and which vitally affects his daily living through tex rates and the services it provides Various organizations persistently try to whip up municips! enthusiasm in the electorate, but seldom with much success, The municipal voter, it seems, simply refuses to get excited, even when major policy questions are presented to him for decisions, If there were similar apathy shout provincial and federal elections, one might fear 8 general breakdown of the democratic system, Does the situs ation, then, herald a breakdown of the municipal system? < The voter may indeed sense a need for change in the municipal structure =~ and there is no doubt that major changes will be made in the next decade Argument About Speed Traffic safety work, like other areas of human endeavour, is seldom a matter of clear cut blacks-and-whites, Every as. pect of safety engineering, enforcement or education has its critics, as well as its advocates, There is no unanimity on what is effective, Often, there is lack of agreement on what is desirable; for instance, high school driver education is generally admitted to be effective in re- ducing accidents, and saving lives, but there is wide disagreement as to whether or not it is desirable, Another disputed activity is the estab lishment of car "clubs" (usually for teen. aged youths) for hetrodding and drag racing, Supporters of these clubs often include the police, says the Ontario Bafety League, They say that supervised racing allows youths to "let off steam" that might otherwise boil out on the publie highway. And it gives them an element of discipline, and sometimes develops a good feeling of team spirit, However, the us National Safety Council firmly takes a contrary view, A recent policy statement says: "The National Safety Council opposes speed contests, Since speed violations are so often involved in traffic accidents, the NBC cannot condone speeding even in the name of competition "The Council feels that public interest would be better served if the energy and enthusiasm now devoted to drag racing were channelled into more constructive activities, Economy runs, road -eo's, driver elinies and leadership in traffie salety programs, are examples of desire able outlets for interest in automobiles and driver ability "Although clubs known by the gens eral term 'hot rod' often engage in many worthwhile activities it is apparent that the chief purpose of such organizations Is promotion of racing events "The National Safety Council there fore recommends that traffic authorities and safety organizations refrain from ene dorsing, supporting, or participating in speed events," Young Leader And Old As president of the United States, strongest and wealthiest of the western democracies, Senator John F, Kennedy will automatically became what the Guardian of Manchester calls "leader of the grand alliance," Whether it will be titular leadership or real will depend upon Kennedy him self and his actions, As Drew Middeton of the New York Times points out, it would be a mistake to believé that the others in the alliance are "men who are old, unimaginative and tired." They are old, at least in camparison with Kennedy, Prime Minister Maemil. lan of England is 66; President de Gaulle of France is 70, and Chancellor Ade- nauer of West Germany is 84, But each has shown vigor, imagination, recep tiveness to new ideas and an ability to lead his country in a new world, They have had to be able, and even brilliant, he Oshawa Times ToL WILION, Publisher and General Manager €, GWYN KINSEY, Editar The Oshawa testabiished Times combining The Oshawa Times and the hithy Gazette ond Chronicle (sstanlished 1883), is published daily Sundays and statutory holidays excepted) Mambers of Canadian Daily Newspapers Publishers Amociation, The Canadian Press, Audit Bureau of Cireulation and the Ontaria Provincial Dailies Assos ciation.

Kennedy has no trust in what has so often hothered and even anguished our chief allies == expedients dictated from Washington without proper diplomatic foundation and consultation, All of this may be to the good, Kens nedy will be working with men of his. torical perspective and of more experi ence than himself, Yet he has shown some of the qualities and beliefs that Macmillan, de Gaulle and Adenauer possess. It may be a fine partnership. Bible Thoughts 1 bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think,~Romans 12:3. A realistic view of ourselves, our per sonalities and accomplishments leads to humility, Dear God, change us.

(CP) « The motorcar has become slightly old-fashioned for Dr. Roger Lem: elin of this lake St, John com: munity 185 miles north of Quebec The doctor does his travelling by alr, alone or with his family, and saves his car for visits to local patients "It's faster, cheaper, and more pleasant," sald Dr, Lemelin of his $8000 Cessna 170, Dr. Lemelin was bitten hy the aviation bug while flying Into re. mote northern areas to treat in Jured people, He decided to take a flying course in 1958 and earned his pl lot's licence the same year, Since that time, he has flown approxi. mately 200 hours, and covered 24,000 miles, Dr, Lemelin claims his ain eraft is cheaper to operate than a car. On a 53 -mile return trip to Ottawa, for example, It com sumes only $18 worth of gas, The doctor's longest trip=-to date was a return flight to Tor onto from Roberval, but he said he hopes to visit the United States, All private alreraft are regu larly inspected by aeronautic ex- perts employed by the federal government, he said.

NANIYRY HOOD Special London (Ving. Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~ The greatest fig. saw puwzzde and the costliest search for wreckage of a plane in air history hss ended. The last of some 40 ships which took part in the search for wreckage of a Vietor jot bomber which erashed into the St, Georges Channel, off the west const of Ergland, has departed from the search ares, The operation has taken 14 manths, has cost £1, 500 000 and hos resulted in 588. 904 pieces of the lost aircraft being - found From these pieces, which made wp nearly 70 per eent of the bomber, experts at the Varn. borough Royal Alreraft Estab. tishment have been able to find out why the plane erashed The 40 ships which look part in the search consisted of 27 trawlers, a elvilian salvage ship and 12 naval cralt, At 8 cere mony which marked the end of the operation, the skippers of the last 16 trawlers engaged in the search received a plague in recognition of their. contribution Plaques are heing sent to the other ships which took part in the profeet The forma! ending of the search was marked by the haul ing down of the blue naval en sign on the trawlers and its re- placement by the red ensign It was on August 20, 1959, while on a test flight, that the Victor bomber disappeared with its erew of five, From alr force headquarters, the message was sent out "Its wreckage must be found The possible future of our V- bomb fleet depends on finding out why the plane crashed." The searchers had little on 'which to go. The only clue was a report from. a ship of seelng a large splash in the sea But the search went on with. out sucess until four months later, the first pleco of wreckage was recovered by accident, by a trawler not engaged In the operations, This led to the search being concentrated in a much narrower aren, It had up to that time cov. ered more than 200 square miles, More than 12,225 trawling haus were made, each taking from 45 minutes to an hour, As the bulky trawls scraped the ocean floor, pleces of the wrecked bomber came up hour after hour To prevent small pleces of salvage--some of them being no larger than a B0-cent pleee--~dropping through the nets, small-mesh herring bags were used Inside the trawls, Day 'by day, the pieces came in, to be rushed to Farnborough for iden. tification and assembly, And plece by piece the Victor bomb er was reconstructed until the scientists were able to decide what was the reason for the crash into the sea, But that find. ing has not been made known, The forest of trawlers was drawn from Fleetwood, Peter. head, Milford Haven and North. ern Ireland, Now that the giant Jigsaw puzzle has been solved, they have returned to their more Hwndang task of trawling for ish, can't really see the people of the provines changing horses, There they sit on the floor of the House Twenty Awe CC¥Fer And what are (hey and do they bave There is a Liberal group that has now been trying to work to- gether and do something for a year and a half, I stil doesn't know reslly what it Is siming for, # doesn't have any strong principles -- or purposes, except to get Into power--and it isn't even united on how to go after what doesn't know yet it wants, There is 8 CCF group which wants power probably even a bit more avidly than the Liberals and which will sttack everything and anything snd will promise the moon without eonsidering what will happen to the rest of the sky it gives it away, And there sit the Conserva- tives, There are some pretty lost characters in their ranks--some eccentric, some just plain dumb, There are things which 8s a government they probably should be doing There are other things they are doing not well or very late, But when you fake an overall look at both sides you have to say to yourself it will be a day yet before this province change governments, The PC's have calibre, when you take a mean of thelr ranks, and they have point, The other groups have confusion, It would probably be 8 good thing for the province ¥ i had a change of government, A good thing in many ways, that is, But pot the change that is offered it ss things stand now, Liberals and five what You watch the traffic , . . well as other people's warning.
