She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1964----PAGE 6 Spot Check Will Help Remove Unsound Autos The Ontario government has taken a step in the right direction with its legislation to give police the power after July 1 to remove licence plates from cars they judge to be unsafe. The weakness of the measure is that the police will only make spot checks, Motorists who do not submit their vehicles to the police-ordered safety checks will be liable to a fine, which gives the measure some teeth. But it remains a epot-check. system -- and that means a_ hit-and-miss system. There are simply not enough police- men for it to be anything else, There may be municipalities which have fully staffed and fully equipped police force, but we do not know of any. During recent months there has been a recruiting campaign for the Ontario Provincial Police, but the OPP are still well under the needed numbers in both men and vehicles, This lack of man- power, probably, is one of the big reasons why there are so many cars on the road which are not only mechanically unsound but which violate long-standing traffic regu- lations. me-eyed cars are an example is an offence to drive a vehicle with improper headlights -- but in an hour's drive any -evening one will usually observe several vehicles with only one headlight or im- properly beamed headlights. The spot checks should help re move unsafe cars from the streets and highways, But a more thorough measure would require drivers to carry certificates of mechanical worthiness, The onus of operating a mechanically sound car is on the driver, The certificate would show that the vehicle had been checked by an accredited mechanic within a certain period of time. iThe Meaning Of Lent BY CANON F. G. ONGLEY St. George's Anglican Church Some who read this column are aware that a neighbor or friend has been caught 'up in something called Lent. They are going to church at strange hours, cutting down, or even giving up, certain meals, say- ing "no" to parties. Some will have given up smoking, candies, enter- tainment, drinking and the like. Some will take on extra things auch as an added responsibility in help for others. Many will be read- ing a serious book or two about religion. In fact, it looks as if they are taking their souls as seriously as the majority of the community do their automobiles, And this Lent business seems to be something like a 10,000 mile inspection. But why? Isn't this strange ac- tivity for 1964? Self-discipline, self-denial, are good old-fashioned for good old-fashioned vir- and most would feel it's good them a place occasionally one's life. It might even be for both the pocketbook and e figure. But there is something much deeper than this. Christians give keep Lent as a season in order to come closer to Him they know as Lord and Saviour. Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness in fasting and prayer and knowing tempta- tion in order that He might pray and think through His work of love for man. His Church can do no less. If we are to better serve Him and His mission of love in the world of today we urgently need His presence and ? power of His love, As the forty ao move onward we find ourselves walking with Christ through the last tragic days of His life to an upper room, a garden and a trial, and then we stand again at the foot of His Cross, Only thus can we really know His love and our need. Only thus can we really know the reality of the words whith burst upon the world at Easter "He is risen". In the words then of the Peniten- tial Service of my particular church "T therefore invite you, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance, by prayer, fasting, and self-denial, and by reading and meditation upon God's holy Word." The Speed Of Spending Th a speech he gave in Toronto the other day, Finance Minister Gordon said: "In present conditions, with unemployment still too high, budget deficits of some size will be required. However, as the economy responds to programs of expansion, government revenues should in- crease, some éxpenditures diminish, and the budget move toward a balance." He had the same theme in Ed- monton: "If these aims can be achieved, incomes will increase and government revenues from taxes will increase substantially. When this happens, governments will be in a position either to accede to the never-ending demands for increased services, or alternatively, and I say this hopefully, to reduce existing tax rates." Judging by the performance of Gordon and his predecessors, ex- penditures will automatically in- She Oshawa Times 1, L, WILSON, Publisher C. GWYN KINSEY Editer The Oshawa.

Part of this sizable gain, however, has been negatéd by price increases. In the same period government revenue has grown even : faster. Budgetary revenues were $4,755 million in 1959, $5,879 last year, and were forecast at $6,192 million for the year ending next March 3ist. Budgetary expenditures, of course, have exceeded' revenues; spending was $5,364 million in 1959, $6,570 last year, and was forecast at $6,- 845 for the current fiscal year -- a total deficit for the period in excess of $3 billion. There cannot be a rational tax program -- although there may be adjustments of some rates to create the impression of reduced taxation ---- until there is a balanced budget. And there can hardly be a balanced budget until there is an end to in- creased spending, And in that area it may be less a matter of never- ending public demands than of never-ending political promises, Bible Thought T came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. -- Mark 2:17, Hearing God's voice is dependent upon our heart's condition, not our bodily position. WE, TOO, HAVE A MAN IN A WINDOW QUEBEC OPINION Conservatives Divided Despite Dief Triumph EDITORIALS from French-language papers Sherbrooke La Tribune--In certain circumstances Mr, John Diefenbaker can show himself to be a truly extra: ordinary man, He gave a new demonstration at the Conserve ative convention in Ottawa, during which he was. con- firmed in his functions as leader of the party, . .. Despite this visible and per- sonal triumph of Mr, Diefen- baker, the Conservative party appeared deeply divided, The leader's speech was capable of nepairing some cracks but it could not suffice to restore that unity so necessary to an apposition party aspiring to regain power, Mr, Diefenbaker remains the undisputed leader, without doubt, but it is in order to point out that the convention delegates had no choice, If they had withdrawn their con- fidence from the former prime minister, they would have' put_themselves in the ridiculous position of a party that denies its leader but for- gets to choose a replacement for him, Those who were against Mr, Diefenbaker had fo successor to propose, Barring sudden and unfore- geen changes, Mr, Diefenba- ker will thus lead the Con- servative forces in the next feders' election, We shall leave to the Liberals the care of evaluating their chances of winning, but it remains cer tain that Mr. Diefenbaker is capable of striking big blows and seriously weakening the Liberal positions, . . , (Feb. 6) Quebee Le Soleil Two events at the Conservative con- vention in Ottawa will stand out above all else: The overwhelm. ing victory of John Diefenbaker, who was confirmed in his func tions as party leader, and the nomination of Leon Balcer, member for Trois-Rivieres, as leader of the Quebec Conserva- tive wing, which will entitle him to play the role of official epokesman for Quebec im the party and to become one of the chief, if not the chief, collabor- ators of Mr, Diefenbaker, . . . While admitting that the initiative did not come from Mr, Diefenbaker, but from the Quebec Conservative wing, it must be recognized that he agreed without any reluctance or hesitation to the choice (of Mr, Balcer) made at the Que- bec caucus, in Mr, Diefen- baker's. presence, on motion of Paul Martineau, former mines minister, ,. . For the member for Trois Rivieres this official recogni- tion must have a flavor all its own and it ought to make him forget how slowly he climbed in the Conservative hierarchy, It has not been forgotten that he was one of the most tenaci- ous opponents of Mr, Diefen- baker at the convention called to choose a leader after the departure of George Drew, and that he had to wait ab most three years before get- ting an important cabinet post, after occupying the post of solicitor - general fal lowing the 1957 and 1958 elections, . . . His task now will consist of regrouping the Conservative forces, to emphasize the pres» ence of the French-Canadian element in his party, not only in matters concerning the leadership, but also in work: ing out a program under the inspiration of policies that will take into account present con ditions and the crisis the country is experiencing, (Feb, 2) Quebec L'Action -- Whether one likes it er not, a man who was head of state for a long time in a democracy re- mains the symbol and the image of the entire people whom he led, Stamping on the beaten man, pursuing him even into the grave to sully his memory hardly has any effect on the person thus loaded down with so much re- sentment, It is a period in the life of a people that is being put to shame, BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Feb, 15, 1924 W.

That is the way it is with this debate as juvenile as it is odious that has arisen con ba the Duplessis monu ment, The Duplessis administra. tion, like any other political phase, knew its hours of ini- tial greatness and of decad- ence, Like all governments, it accumulated mistakes. and successes, The normal pro cesses of democratic opinion @ecided, in the long run, that the mistakes had triumphed over the successes, Premier dduplessis is indeed a dead man still too much alive to have a monument erected to him, The controv- ersy would annul any spirit of homage, Contemporary prejudices must never be sub- stituted for the judgment of history, If there is no charity, We Ought at beast to recognize the difficulties of government in an era when the successor is always fixing things so as to condemn his pre decessor, . . . The Duplessis monument has been consigned to the dungeon by his enemies and his friends would like to bring it out, Their quarrel in the legislature was so wretched that there is probably no ma> lice left to pour out. Call a trace in this wrangling and posterity will find the way to speak out, if this is necessary, to rehabilitate an era in the history of Quebec, not just a single man.
