]FAUXN TA TAEMN.BWM TL.OTR! NU.DYAXH1End T Editor Joe Osborne, Virginf Eu joys Inlerestiug Visit Wilh Prime Ninister King Hundreds o! representatives o! the important press of the world1 wene on the aient in Williams- burg, Vinginia, Apnil 2, to report the colon and pageant and the least word spoken in connection with the ceremonies at William and Mary College which confer- ned Hononary Degrees upon Lord Alexander, Govennor General o! CAnada, Prime Minister MacKen-j zie King, President Truman o! thei United States and Governor Tuck o! Vinginia. It was an interna- tional event in the oldest city and1 oldest college in Amenica at which Mn. King, in a notable speech warned of a present dan- Amenican fneedomn was conceiv- I. ed. But o! alI the noted pressmen pnesent, only onc was singled out by the Prime Minister for a con- fidential chat. He was Joe A. Osborne, native son of Tynone, and publisher and editor emeitus of the Vinginia Gazette of Wil- liamsburg, oldest newspapcr in Amenica. It had been expected in advance by the editon of Th e Statesman that Mn. King would nut fail to visit with the 84 year old Joe Osborne who had a long cancer in tanadian journalism. So as it turncd out Mn. Osborne t was the sole pnessman to get an - inside scoop for Mn. King neceiv- ed bim heartily after the cere- rnonies of the day. Two Canadians The Statesman laten received a five-page band-written letten from Mn. Osborne disclosing some o! the things discussed with Mn. King and this happy circumstance has given The Statesman a scoop that the wine-service correspon- dents missed on the spot. It is an intimate view of two Canadlians just getting together quietly to enjoy reminiscenceý just like old home week. We quote parts of Mn. Osborne's letter which de- scribe the meeting and which ne- veal the profound human quali- ties of Prime Minister King. We quote: 111 will now tell you about my visit witb Prime Minister King whom I visited, Sunday at 10 a.m. in his suite at the Williamsgbung Inn. I had pneviously made an appointment through his secret- ary, Mr. Handy, so when 1 an- rived at the Inn I sent word by a bell-boy to Mn. Handy that I was in the lounge all ready to see the Prime Minister. In a few minutes Mn. Handy came and es- corted me to the suite of nooms of Mn. King." Warm Welcome "Mn. King welcomed me like a long lost brother and comrade-in- arms, as it were. We had a pleas- ant visit and each recalled old memonies. He told me be was living in the bouse formenly own- ed and occupied by Sir Wilfred and Lady Laurier and that on her death the property was bequeath- cd to the Prime Minister. He also invited me to be his bouse guest if I came to Ottawa." Local Reference "Whcner I came away he came down with me to the front o! the bote], arm-in-arm and as we stood on the flagstones a Restonation photognapher took our picture standing side by side. He turned to me andi said: '-'Whcn I get the picture I will send it to you for youn autograph'." 11 told bim about you and ex- pressed m nofne tatmanuwer the opiniro ne that you asr one o! the best known newspaper- men in Ontario if not aIl Canada, also about West Durham and my early days tbere. Mr. King spoke vcry kindly about you and said be knew you and what you bad donc for the farmers o! West Durbam." Remankable Man "Mn.

W. PHONE 747 BOWMAN VILLE1 C.P.B. SPEEDS TICKETING: G. A. MacNamara, vice-president of traffic for the Canadian Pacific Railway, inspects a new ticket issuing and ac- counting machine, the first of its kind on the North Ameican continent, which went into ser- vice at the C.P.R.'s Windsor Station in Montreal recently. The machine prints its own tickets when the ticket seller inserts a matrice, such as Mn. MacNamara holds in his lef t hand, into the slot on the lower riqht hand corner. In bis right hand Mn. MacNamara holds a ticket that the machine has just issued. The bottom picture of one of the coach tickets the machine issues shows personality. He said he loved to 1 come to Williamsburg and he gave Mn. Rockefeller great creditj for what he bas donc to nestore the nid capitol of "The Old Do- minion." H1e also rccalled that many years ago he was on a pro- ject with the elder Mr. Rccke- feller out in the west where a so- lution was sought in the labour troubles of the day." "I gave Mn. King a bound copy of a special edition of the Virginia Gazette, issued hast July. I auto- graphed it for hlm and lie was much pleased with it. I also gave bim a copy containing an account of the ceremonies at William and Mary College, but hie said he had alrcady secured a few copies and congratulated me on thc issue. Even in a quiet, intimate visit witb Mn. Kinig, on feels in the presence of a great man. It was a most happy occasion for me." Valucd Copy Mn. Osborne concluded bis in- teresting letter with comment on the ceremonies at the college and the heauties of spning in Virginia. We acknowiedge with thanks a copy of bis paper. xvhich was first published in 1736, and con- tinues to be just about the best weekly in America. And we con- gratulate both Mn. King and Mn. Osborne on the opportunity n two eminent Canadians in geY ting together for a most enjoyable visit. Surgery, x-rays and radium are the only treatment methods that can cure cancer. These powerful weapons are being used with greater skill and success every year. In its April campaign for 150,000 one dollar memberships, the Canadian Cancer Socîety's Ontanio Branch is emphasizing the need for more cancer infor- mation, stressing the importance of immediate cancer tneatment te save Canadian lives. how much more compact it is than the type of coach ticket at the right. As well as speeding up ticket sales, the machine keeps f ull acounting records. Installation of the machine in othen main Canadian Pacific centres across Canada depends upon the success of the machine in its initial performance in Windsor Station, which was picked for the introduction because of the volume of business handled thene. It is expected that the machine will be able to handie 90 per cent of the coach tickets issued there, and tickets will be issued to practically ahl C.P.R. points within 24 houns travelling time of Montreal. Successful Conference Sparks Provincial Communiiy Councils The 3rd annual Conference of Ontario Community Councils con- cluded a 3-day session in Oshawa la'st week with some of the out- standing figures of America in this field taking part in the pro- ceedings. Premier George Drew of Ontario, as Minister of Educa- tion, made the keynote address at the civic dinner tendered the gatbening of oven 200 delegates who were given an official wel- come by Mayor Frank McCallum. His greetings ta the visiting spea- kers from the" USA won great erpplause. The premier dealt with the im- portance of physical andi cultural activities in developing a sound citizenship and the obligation o! government to give every aid pos- sible for the successful establish- ment of youth in the body poli- tic. He said that the great need of democracy to preserve free- dom was to master the science of human relationships. In giving staunch support to the Communi- ty Council movement he feit that his government was promoting one o! the prime requirements o! the province and the nation.

He who prays as he ought, wil endeavour to live as he prays.- Owen "Nothinig in life is to be feared; it is only to, be understood," said Madame Curie. Fear can bring nothing but disasten to the can- cer patient. But knowledge of the nature of the disease and of the conditions which are abso- lutely essential to successful treat- ment, could bring about almost revoluntionary changes if the peo- pie act.

Many growing in hyealth and strength may remove the col- on in a subsequent change o! lens- es. Wbcre colon is placed upon the cycs indiscriminatciy without examination, bowevcr, anything may be cxpected as a follow-up. If, however, a penson's bcaltb be- comes lowcr, it is possible for an increase in tint to be appreciatcd.
