She Oshaton Times T. L. Wilson, Publisher ! MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1964--PAGE 6 Oshawa's Green Gaels Deserve Recognition The Green Gaels of Oshawa were well worthy of the great home- coming reception tendered to them on arriving home from New West- minster, bearing with them the Minto Cup, emblematic of the junior lacrosse championship of Canada. This is not the first time that' na- tional championship honors in la- crosse have been brought to Osh- awa. Some of our senior citizens will remember the great Oshawa lacrosse team which in 1929 brought the Canadian senior championship to this city. In these days lacrosse was a somewhat different type of game than that which is played today. But the Green Gaels have one thing in common wtih these champions of 35 years ago, in that they have met and defeated the best teams that Canada could array against them. The special significance of the success of the Green Gaels is that this championship has been won after only two years of experience as a team, and by a group of boys whose average age is only around 17 years. Only one member of the team will next season be beyond the junior are limit. They could bring further future honors to Oshawa. That so young an aggregation of lacrosse players should win the Minto Cup is a tribute to their dedication to the game they have chosen to follow, and also to their coach and guiding spirit, Jim Bishop, who has been an inspiring leader to these boys who were eager and willing to absorb all the knowledge and skill he was able to impart to them. Oshawa is rightly proud of what has been achieved by the Green Gaels. We salute every member of the team as a fine young athlete and sportsman, and also because they made a fetish of physical fit- ness in their preparation for the final games. We expect that the city council will lose no time in giving some kind of civic recognition to the Canadian junior lacrosse cham- pions. They richly deserve it. Supersonic Plane Doubt While the United States on the one hand, and Britain and France on the other are engaged in a race for the production of the first super- sonic jet transport planes capable of flying at two to three times the speed of sound, the chief executives of the world's major airlines are expressing 'great doubt as to the economics and practicality of such aircraft on regular passenger lines. Among the doubting Thomases re- garding the future of supersonic aircraft is Gordon R. McGregor, president of Air Canada. At a meet- ing of the International Air Trans- port Association held in Montreal, he was one of those who made strong reservations regarding the use of planes flying at between 1400 and 2000 miles an hour. There are several points on which doubts have been expressed as to the future role of the supersonic airliner. Some leading aircraft exe- cutives claim that the seat-mile costs of such airliners will make them uneconomic. Others saw @ serious problem in the sonic boom they would create, and which would restrict their use in. heavily-popu- lated areas. Mr. McGregor's chief doubt was as to the possibility of cooling a supersonic transport in a way that would be acceptable to the average air traveller. It is well that these points should be raised before the designing and construction of supersonic airliners has proceeded too far. Britain and France are working now on a joint project to develop such an aircraft known as the Concord. This project has already run into difficulties, largely related to the growing costs of development, An American aircraft firm is also working on & plane of fly three times the speed of sound, The leading airlines of the world have grave doubts as to the uses which can be made of aircraft fly- ing at such a speed. They would be limited entirely to long-distance flights, and would not be economic, according to Air Canada's view, either on trans-continental or trans- Atlantic flights. From this it would seem as if the supersonic plane is still far off in the future, and that many years will elapse that all the problems they involve will be solved, so that they can actually take to the air. Streamlining Of CNR The management of the Canadian National Railways is taking a leaf from the book of Dr. Richard Beeching, chairman of the British Railways Board, in its plan for a greatly streamlined freight train service. The plan now announced is very similar.to that which is being carried out on the British Rail- ways:--It--involves__closing down many of the smaller and less im- portant of the 1700 railway stations in Canada. But the net result will be that with the introduction of master -freight assembly points, faster freight trains, and a hookup with road transport the public will have a greatly improved service, provided at much less cost to the national railway system.

Other Provinces Commonwealth Countries 15-00, USAe 24,00, The Dr. Beeching plan, which has been widely publicized, aimed at the same objectives as the CNR plan, but behind it was the directive given to him by the minister of transport on his appointment as chairman of British railways. His orders were to put an end to de- -fieits-which--rose_to..well over $400 million a year and make the rail- ways pay their way. 'The new freight system, using fewer sta- tions and providing faster trains, he. expected, .would contribute towards that goal. It will be interesting to note the reaction of the public of Canada to the new CNR plans. When British railways announced the plans tor closing down stations, protests and objections poured in from all sides. This held up the plans for a con- siderable time, as under British procedure, all objections had to. be heard by a Transport Users' Con- sultative Committee, which was re- quired to make recommendations to the minister of transport. as to whether or not the closure of lines and stations should be upheld. Canadian procedures are some- what differe#t, but the plan will require the passing of federal legis- lation to implement the recommen- dations of the MacPherson royal commission on. transportation. So some time is bound to elapse before the CNR will know whether it can go ahead with its plans for a stream-lined freight service. 'Flag For Yule' a Taian HOW CAN HE GET IT DOWN THE CHIMNEY QUEEN'S PARK Liberals Hopes Lie Outside Toronto BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--What will a new Liberal leader mean to the rest of Ontario and the growing favoritism that has been shown here to Toronto? Not much change in attitude can be expected from the gov- ernment itself. It has such a preponderance of Toronto area members and is so much under the gun of the Toronte press, that it can hardly be expected to start taking a tough stand against the city. Neither can much be ex- pected from the NDP. Its leader Donald MacDonald and its dom- inating members come from the city and it usually has shown a big-city outlook. So that most hope for a better break for the rest of the prov- ince must rest with the Liber- els and their new leader An- drew Thompson. TORONTO CONNECTIONS At first glance the prospects from Mr. Thompson would not appear too bright. : The new Grit leader, of course, is a Toronto man, rep- resents a Toronto riding and has his strongest connections in the city. And at one time, at least, he was @ bit of a darling of the Toronto Star, which is always forceful in presenting the claims of its home city. In his days in the House he has not shown~signs he was even too aware there were local problems outside of Toronto. GAVE REASSURANCE However this does not neces- sarily mean he won't now fight for the rest of the province. To date Mr. Thompson has been a local member. His obli- gation has been principally. to Plead for his local amea. Now he is a leader. And this means he must rise above local matters and view problems in the light of the province at large. In talking to neporters before he left on vacation he gave some reassurance that he was well aware of this new obligation. He showed a good awareness of the problem. And he talked in more than ies. Among other suggestions, said that the government coul assist in the creation of "indus- trial parks" to attract industry to outlying areas. MIGHT ENCOURAGE He aiso that as he gets to know province better he will have awanenes of, and a fairness all of its problems.

This happened on July German front, the of five months of grim fighting which became a battle of attnition be- tween the two armies.

It was New- foundiand's most gory; yet most This description Complaint Re Hospital Brings An Explanation r: Many times during the past years while passing our Osh- awa General Hospital, I would think "'Isn't it a comforting thought that if anything hap- thing happened to me or mine --an accident or sudden sick- mess, we would go or be taken to the emergency department of the hospital and receive im- mediate attention", Believe me, that was warm, lovely and 100 per cent wrong thinking. This last Saturday at 6.30 p.m. I entered the hospital emer- gency department with a wound, but not too serious. One of the duty nurses informed me that there was no doctor or intem available to look after me, but that they would contact my doc- tor and he would come to the hospital as quickly as possible. In my case, this was at 9.00 p.m., a waiting period of two and a half hours. During the time I was there, several pa- tients arrived. All were in pain, but in each case they were told to wait for their own doctor. When I finally left the emer- gency ward at 9:30 p.m. four of these patients were still un- attended and still waiting. To me it seems a callous and indifferent attitude on the part of the hospital authorities to keep a patient, adult or child, waiting in misery, ~ suffering for up to three or four hours for proper medical attention. If they have no doctors or interns on continuous active duty at the hospital it is about time they employed two or three, what- ever number is necessary. The emergency ward is loaded with patients night and day. Do you not agree that something Should be done to remedy the present situation, no matter which doctors' toes are stepped on?
