Fhe Osha Sones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, May 4, 1961 Petty Gamblers Having Rough Time In Toronto Petty gamblers are having a rough time in Toronto these days, the police there being extraordinarily diligent since highly publicized charges that the city's crime was run by a big-time syndicate brought demands for a full-scale inquiry. Just in the past few days a soccer- pool operation has been broken up, 24 men arrested in one raid, 29 in another and a half dozen or so in a third. From the news reports, one gets the picture of squads of grim law-enforcers dashing about the city, breaking up a crap game here, arresting card players there, and generally making life hazardous for all the two-bit punters in the Metro area. So far, however, they do not seem to have been able to catch any of the big-time operators -- the organizers of the huge "floating" games, the heads of the bookie racket, the collectors (the so- called enforcers) of big gambling debts and the other lieutenants of the gen- erals of crime. These people, of course, are much more difficult to catch than the small fry; if they weren't, they would not be big-time operators. But these are the ones to concentrate on, because they are the brains and muscles not only of the gambling racket but of all the other organized crime. There strong evidence that syndicate organization of crime has moved into Toronto. It will not be destroyed by raids on annual banquets or once-a- month social events at which amateurs risk a few dollars on dice or cards. Such raids may discourage petty offenders, but they do not hamper the more exten- sive operations, There have been reports that tax investigators are checking the returns of some well-heeled suspects in Toronto, and it may be that, as in the United States, this will prove to be the most effective way of bringing the mobs- ters to book. But it will also be an ad- mission of failure. Still Trying For Water Rebuffs at Washington are no deter- rent to Chicago in its battle to destroy Canada's objection to the diversion of additional water from the Great Lakes. Since the infamous "Chicago water steal" some years ago that city has persisted in its efforts to break down Canadian opposition to the further diversion of water from Lake Michigan. The plea of water for sanitation purposes is not accepted. More widely believed is the ambition of Chicago to build a shipping canal that will take shipping off the Great Lakes over a water route to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, the Sudbury Star observes. Latest manoeuvre in the never-ending battle is a request by the Great Lakes Commission to have the United States State Department assist in negotiations with Canada to permit the additional diversion of water. The department is also being asked to determine the Cana- dian government's position in respect to the diversion of water into the Great Little Things The difference between the excellent driver and the ordinary driver is seldom anything spectacular, or even obvious. It is a lot of little things done properly at all times. An Ontario Safety League official was reminded of this recently. He was driv- ing home from work, following a black sedan, in the driving lane. Approaching a T-intersection the sedan driver began to slow down, and showed by his flash- ing indicator that he intended to turn right. The OSL car also slowed down, and kept in the same lane. But the black car did not make the expected right turn, It stopped on the near corner of the intersection. A girl got out and took a few seconds to make some last comments, through the open door, to the driver. Meanwhile the OSL car and three others were lined up be- hind the stopped car. One of the drivers behind, obviously in a hurry, was twist- ing around in his seat to see if he dared "jump" out into the passing lane be- tween the other cars driving by at 40 m.p.h. There was no climax to the incident. The black sedan started up again, and the line of stopped and slowing cars She Osharon Times T. L WILSON, Publisher and Genero! Monoge C. GWYN KINSEY.

The commission seeks Canada's views on another project -- the building of a dam structure that,would regulate the flow of water through the St. Clair River from Lake Huron, The Star continues: The province of Ontario is more directly concerned with these proposals. Tamper- ing with the Hudson Bay watershed is of special importance to the province be- cause of the possible effect on hydro- electric power development as the North is opened up, and or the proposed sea- port at Moosonee on James Bay. On- tario must look ahead at least 50 years in northern development. Draining water out of the Hudson Bay watershed into the Great Lakes may be detrimental to future development in the northern reaches of the province, One thing is certain. Chicago does not intend to abandon its fight. There seems to be a thought that eventually Canada or Washington will weaken under the sustained campaign. Important in the driving lane was on the move once more, The only result was the an- noyance of drivers who had been halted unnecessarily. The driver of the black car should not have stopped to let out a passenger on the rush hour route, It would have been a simple thing to let out his pass- enger around the corner. And he cer- tainly should not have given a mislead- ing signal, The interesting thing is that he knew a signal was called for, and gave a signal --but the wrong one. He preferred to give a flasher signal for a right turn, rather than roll down the window and give a hand signal that would have made it quite clear to following cars that he was going to stop, and would have given them to chance to merge into the passing lane without delay. There was no accident -- but the possibility of accident was increased. Other drivers were slightly inconve- nienced and irritated. Was it caused by inattention, or ignorance, or laziness? Whatever the reason, it gave an illustra- tion of the fact that the "little" things are important in good driving. The Ontario Safety League says that consistency is one of the marks of the better driver. He does the right things -- and does them all the time, Other Editor's Views GIVEN THE BRUSH (Vancouver Sun) The city council of Pikeville, Ken- tucky, has initiated a self-help program which goes far to solve the problem of civic grants. When Mrs. Suda Weddington com- plained that the street in front of her house was dirty the council contem- plated its depleted street-cleaning bud- get -- and bought Mrs. Weddington a broom.

FERN, MD Have you turned down cheap -- possibly free -- insurance? Because so many low income families are uninsured against polio, paralysis is striking those who can least afford it! Polio is an intestinal infec- tion. The virus builds a strong striking force inside dark intes- tinal crevices until D-day, when the germs push through into the blood stream. Unless anti'bodies wipe out these invaders, the viruses QUEEN'S PARK Municipal Law reach the brain and spinal cord where they damage and kill spe- cial nerve cells. Strong muscles become limp and paralyzed. Paralysis fades wherever damaged nerve cells recover, But limbs lie still and silent once their nerve cells are killed. CAN'T BE STOPPED Nothing can bring back dead nerve cells, And nothing can stop polio's paralysis once the virus invades the nervous sys- tem. Study In Trouble By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- We have had some poor committees here from time to time. But we now could have a record-breaker. The select committee on mu- nicipal law has promise--of set- ting a new high in lows. The committee has had only a few meetings. And already it has started to wrangle and give opinions. A. H. Cowling, PC from Tor- onto-High Park gave one on municipal grants. Our municipal grants system has been worked out to try to give balance in terms of need. There has been no study of the system yet by the commit- tee but Mr. Cowling is ready to do away with it, "Let us get a uniform grant structure," the dapper insur- ance salesman said at the sec: ond meeting of the committee. It was Mr. Cowling who once proposed we should lower the level of Lake Ontario by digging a hole in the bottom. This was before the lake levels commit- tee. CHAIRMAN TOO The chairman of the commit. tee also apparently feels it is time already for suggestion. At the same second meeting he offered the idea that grants might be given on a per capita basis. H. E. Beckett (PC -- York East), the chairman is solicitor for the municipality of Scarbor- ough and has been a member here since 1951. One wonders why he has to be told that we have per capita grants now. Again, T. D. Thomas (CCF Oshawa) didn't agree with per capita grants -- which would grow as the municipality grew also, which they do now. He reportedly said that would be "playing up to the larger areas." That one is hard to figure out. Grants are given to help mu- nicipalities meet their needs." Surely the need is as great for their "growth" as for their old establishment (Actually it is greater.) OUTSIDE STUDY There perhaps is a lesson for the future here. This is a most important com- mittee, One could say, vitally important. And from all indications it is in over its head. It would be hard to pick any group out of the legislature that wouldn't be equally in over its head. Elected members usually are not men trained for study and analysis. Yet our great emphasis these days is to put questions before groups of these members--se- lect committees. We probably should use more discretion. And with at least some of them--the more com- plex matters--retain men more qualified to do the job required. LONG WEARING VISCOSE RUGS i RECREATION R hy 13 L300 URRY ACOA, A RUG FOR EVERY ROOM.

For every polio victim, 100 others suffer mild, unrecognized polio. You can catch the virus from any of these *'polio sufferers". Salk vaccine doesn't prevent polio. Jt fills your blood with antibodies to kill invading polio viruses before they can reach nerve ceils and paralyze you. The virus still grows inside the intestine and so vaccinated victims can still spread polio through your neighborhood ALL NEED PROTECTION Expectant mothers are espe- cially vulnerable to paralysis. So are children who recently left their tonsils and adenoids in operating rooms. The whole family needs polio protection. Soon you'll be able to choose either regular Salk shots or a new, more powerful vaccine that supplies the same protec- tion with fewer needles And with oral vaccine you won't need any needlework at all, Because tamed polio viruses spread just like wild ones, many who don't take the trouble to be vaccinated receive this insurance anyway BE SURE But why be only half safe? Be completely sure! Let polio vaccine give you up to 90 per cent protection. Avoid chills, eat well and get plenty of rest for that other 10 per cent, Then you should have guaranteed insurance against polio's paralysis!
