She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1962--PAGE 6-- Court Decides Against Anti-Fireworks Bylaw Many a municipal prohibition will go into the discard following the ruling by Mr. Justice L. A. Landre- ville this week that an anti-fireworks bylaw passed by the city of Peter- borough is invalid. He found that a municipality may completely prohibit the setting off fireworks at any time during the year, "but if it seeks to do so, the prohibition must be all- comprehensive, and cannot be limited to certain classes of persons." The Peterborough bylaw prohibited or regulated the use of firewoks within the city limits, required a permit for displays of fireworks, prescribed the conditions under which the displays could be held and dis- qualified persons under the age of 21 years. Minors are legal entities, the court ruled, and have the same right as adults under any statute unless specifically excluded. The extent to which a municipality can regulate the sale and use of fire- works will obviously have to be examined by city solicitors, but the broad choice that seems to be offered by Justice Landreville's decision is one of complete prohibition or none. While the Peterborough ruling was being given, London's Fire Chief Mathers was saying that city's new firecracker bylaw was effective in reducing property damage during the holiday weekend. There was no way of measuring the relief it gave people who were ill, and mothers with small children. If examination shows that the municipal choice lies between a total ban on fireworks or total freedom for their sale and use, then we suggest that the only course open to munici- palities is to save money and trouble by enacting an "all-comprehensive"' prohibition. Help For Hong Kong Prime Minister Diefenbaker says Canada should take action immedia- tely to admit 100 Chinese refugee families from Hong Kong as an examiple to the world, and should also provide help in the way of food and clothing for the thousands of refugees crowding into Hong Kong from the Communist mainland. Presumably he will act along these lines, since he is still the prime minister and will re- main so at least until the middle of June. The removal of 100 families from Hong Kong to Canada would be little more than a token measure of relief for the hard-pressed Crown colony, now trying to dam the hungry flood of refugees that is sweeping out of food-short China. We can do much better than that. The question is, how much better? We could not fling open our gates and tell the refugees, 'Come on in." We simply could not accommodate the refugees by their tens of thousands. But we could take some thousands of them, and in so doing we would be adding to our own store of skills as well as doing a little to ease the pressure in Hong Kong. The Chinese community in Canada is industrious, and it is doubtful if the refugees would be public charges for long. The acceptance of, say, a thousand families would be a much more glit- tering 'example to the world" than the grudging admittance of a hundred. Great Hunger For Land Peasants this week seized four plantations in central Ecuador and demanded that the government divide the land among them. Apparently the government took some action to pacify the peasants, but the outbreak was a typical revelation of the driving hunger for land that possesses the impoverished land-workers of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. It is this hunger that had made land-reform an issue of tremendous popular appeal, one that has been skilfully exploited by Communists -- who do not tell the peasants about their own disastrous experiments. Ironically, technological change has made the simple parcelling out of big Yand holding and unused reserves -- the classical concept of land reform -- a dubious, even obsolescent, prac- tice. Engineers have produced ma- chines that can seed, fertilize and spray vast fields entirely from the air; clear brushy land at an acre an hour; and mechanically harvest even such a delicate crop as tomatoes. Such developments have made fragmented land holding, individually tilled, an uneconomic system for many basic crops. Here in Canada we have seen the pressure of mass_ production methods on small farms. Yet the peasant wants his own plot of ground, and will not be satisfied until he has it. The answer seems to be land redistribution, with reas- sembly into co-operatives. After some 27 years of experience, Mexico's land reform co-operative movement has generally proved successful in both human and economic terms. It is not more successful economically than big, well-run estates, but it gives the land-oriented peasant a new sense of pride and identify, and that surely is a significant plus on the social side. Gold Bed And Lottery Mrs. Krobo Edusei's gold bed simply will not drop out of the news. Now it is blamed for lagging sales of lottery tickets in Denmark. Denmark is running a state lottery to raise money for under-developed countries.

One good answer to that question, of course, is that a lottery is a gamble, not charity, and the purchase of a ticket might bring back a hefty piece of prize money. In Britain or Canada, it isn't likely that one pros- pective customer in a_ thousand would worry much about the purpose of the lottery, but obviously the Danes either have sharper cons- ciences or are less compulsive gamb- lers.

Ge THE MAGNET REPORT FROM U.K. Gas Office Clerk Becomes Baronet By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.)

But YOUR HEALTH few, if any of these customers, will be aware that the young man who is stamping their gas bills with a receipt stamp is a full-fledged baronet.

Temporary investment in a household maid may be more than worth the cost. What about paper plates and cups--and can the older children wash the silverware? Here's a new suggestion Plastic gloves are now on the market. They look big and un- wieldy but actually are handy to work in--and they leave plenty of air space inside.

But I do hope that this does not make any difference to my job." MAKES NO DIFFERENCE Sir John Lawson and his fam- ily live in Wold House, Hull, in a three-bedroom house near a large council estate. His is quite a modest home but ample for the family's needs. Said Sir John: "My wife is not too keen on the idea of being known as 'My Lady' but I suppose she will get used to it. We shall not Jet the title make any difference to us." By a strange coincidence, the family motto which goes along with the haronetcy is 'Rise and Re-Illuminate"', quite appropri- ate for a gas board employee. But his colleagues at the Gas Board offices, anxious to spare their fellow-clerk from unneces- sary embarrassment, are still calling the new 35-year-old bar- onet plain "John". CAME AS A SHOCK Sir John said of them: "Many of them did not know that one day I would be a bar- onet, It may come as a shock to them, but I do not want it to make any change in our re- lationship." Sir John was married in 1951. He and the new Lady Lawson have three children, and their son, five-year-old David Lawson, is the heir-presumptive to the family title. Before helping his wife to put their three children to bed in their modest home, Sir John said: "T hope that I shall be able to uphold the title as my father did before me. My grandfather said when he took the title that it was his sacred duty to uphold it, and I feel the same way." Meanwhile, Sir John Lawson will continue to serve the gas consumers of Hull in the capac ity of a $30-a-week clerk, and hopes that he may long con- tinue to be allowed to do so ITALIAN PAPERS ROME (AP) -- Italy now has 94 daily newspapers with a to- tal circulation of 10,200,000, the Italian Federation of Editors reports.

OTTAWA REPORT Big Crowds Drawn By Tulip Festival By PATRICK NICHOLSON "Tulip Time in Ottawa" has come of age. With this tenth annual Tulip Festival drawing larger crowds than ever, Can- ada's Capital has established the tradition of its rivalry with Washington's Cherry Blossom Show and with the chestnut blooms of Paris in the spring. The many colored masses of a million tulips blooming along Ottawa's scenic driveways and on Parliament Hill were aug- mented by a million daffodils, and backed by strongly-scented lilac blossoms. This year, for the first time, beauty queens of the civil service offered them- selves during the Victoria Day holiday weekend to pose among the tulips for visiting camera enthusiasts, While a giant fire- work display climaxed the holi- day, other events of the two week Tulip Festival included an all-nations floral show at the Coliseum, a big square dance, bands, choral singing -- and everywhere the snap, snap, snap of photo fans. REMEMBER THE WAR The origin of this annual glorification of the imported Persian flower recalls the sanc- tuary which Ottawa accorded to Juliana, Princess of the Nether- lands, and her young family, when the Nazis took over her country 22 years ago. As a thank you gift to Ottawa, Juli- Denmark Pools Dairy Farming By GEOFFREY DODD COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -- Dairy-rich Denmark is turning to its own version of the Soviet collective farm in an attempt to meet stiffening competition in Western markets. Small dairy farms, backbone of Denmark's agriculture-based economy, are being incorpo- rated in "milk factories' where 1,000 cows, rather than the usual 10 to 50 individually - owned animals, will be main- tained. Denmark is possibly the most striking example in Europe of an agricultural country which has had to adjust to problems raised by the European Com- mon Market Until recently, Danish agri- culture was unsubsidized and unprotected. Its two principle markets were Britain and West Germany, respectively in the European free trade area and the rival Common Market. Farm products make up about half the country's total exports. Butter and other farm prod- ucts have met with increased competition in the last year or so, bringing widespread pleas from Danish farmers to join the Common Market. without waiting for Britain, despite gov- ernment statements that it will not join the European trading Community unless Britain does. This policy has required more efficient farming to compete with the heavily-subsidized out- put of other countries. Herd feeding, already con- trolled with a dietary accuracy and care not equalled in many hospitals, will be further re- fined ana has each year sent thou- sands of prize tulip bulbs from the famed Dutch gardens to her Ottawa home and children's playground. There are huge display beds with 35,000 blooms splashing Parliament Hill with colour. Perhaps the biggest tulip bed in North America is that flank- ing Ottawa's Dow's Lake, on the Rideau Canal, where over 110,000 blooms sway and smile atop their long stalks. The record - breaking heat- wave which settled over Ottawa just before and during the holi- day weekend shortened the life of the 1962 tulip blossoms, The bulbs, attuned to average tem- peratures of 65 degrees which prevail in the early Dutch summer, faced five days of temperature 25 degrees above the normal for Holland and Ottawa at this'time of year. KING AND QUEEN While the Darwin Red Em- peror ruled as king of Tulip Time in Ottawa, the civil serv- ice held its annual competition to select its own beauty queen. The crown was awarded to Betty Gittens, a 23-year-old wife and mother who works with the Department of Transport. Three years ago she won the title of Miss Barbados in her native West Indies. Her hus- band, Rudy Gittens, graduated in pharmacy from the Univer- sity of Saskatchewan, and is now a pre - medical student at Ottawa University. He too comes from the West Indies. Mrs, Gittens is the first mar- ried woman and the first col- ored girl to capture the Civil Service crown.

QUEEN'S PARK Important Study Of Apprenticeship By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the most important studies to be under- taken here is that of the Select Committee on Apprenticeship and Trade Training. At first glance the committee might seem not too important. Its title gives the impression it might be concerning itself just with the training of some electricians, plumbers, painters and other tradesmen. But its work will go far be- yond this. NOT EDUCATED: Actually our position regard- ing skilled workers in Ontario is approaching a crisis. Today only 30 percent of jobs open in Canada are available to unskilled and semi-skilled workers. While in the country 70 per- cent of students are leaving school before they obtain junior matriculation, And these figures haven't Meteag improving very apprecia- ly. INDUSTRY DISINTERESTED? In line with this there is some question whether training plans, particularly apprenticeship, are as effective as they should be: Apprenticeship itself has had a haphazard growth, with pres- sures from labor particularly, and today is very mixed-up. Again industry has not shown any strong interest in training workers. A recent survey, for instance, showed only 26 percent of firms canvassed engaged in any sort of formal apprenticeship train- ing. MANY QUESTIONS: If Ontario is to remain in the forefront industrially it also must be in the forefront of ed- ucation and training. And one of the things the committee must study is how it is to do this, Also there must be an exten- sive campaign of public edyca- tion to alert the people of the province to the needs. And these are only two of the questions it must review. COMMITTEE GOOD In view of this importance we can be thankful that apparently it is a good committee. It has been the tendency of committees here to rush into their work post haste and one loses confidence in them from the start. This group, however, is not doing that. It is starting by having care- ful studies made. Also it appears to have an exceptional chairman in John Simonett, the P.C. member from Frontenac-Addington.
