THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1940 Censor's Office Works in Mysterious Way Most Canadian newspaper editors will agree with the following editorial in The Toronto Telegram, which appeared on Wednesday. On Tuesday The Times re- ceived a telegram from the censor's office regarding the publication of pictures of German prisoners. This was at 1:07 p.m, shortly after a Toronto daily was for sale on the street with a picture referred to. The Times did not publish the picture, of course. Below is what The Telegram has to say editorially: There is sometimes a temptation to wonder how the censors earned their living before they were clothed with authority to say what news papers should and should not publish. As fre- quently as not their intervention appears with- out rhyme or reason. An occasion in point was the prohibition issued from the censor's office against the pub- lishing of pictures of the arrival of German prisoners of war. The Canadian public has Been familiar with similar pictures depicting the arrival of German prisoners in English 'towns on their way to internment, but the ~-->pensor appears to regard thier arrival in On- tario as quite another matter. The order was given that such pictures must not be pub- © It is not conceivable that the publication of 'such pictures would convey any information of military significance to the enemy. And the ibition is all the more inexplicable since word pictures of the arrival have been printed ad lib. The order agaiast publication is one of those irritating incidents which indicates that the censor is on the job whether what he does is worth while or not. It is impossible, by the exercise of reason, to arrive at any decision as to the censor will or will not permit to be published in con- nection with anything relating to the war. His whim is as unpredictable as Major Bowes' wheel . --=where it stops, nobody knows. Infringe- ment upon the liberty of the press may, on hy necessary in the national interest, but any infringement should without any doubt apply as stringently to government organs as to other Canadian newspapers, More Plants, More Employment Announcement last week that the Brit. ish Government is going to spend approxi- mately $50,000,000 in the cost of plant construction and expansion for some 36 Canadian companies comes as particularly good news at this time. It is estimated that these capital expenditures will result in production of war materials in excess of $250,000,000 annually, the Minister of Sup- ply told the British House of Commons, Plant construction and expansion to pro- duce the vast amount of war materials will © provide employment and perhaps a certain amount of prosperity will result in this country. This is one reason why Cana- . dians will rejoice. Then too, it is a source of satisfaction that Britain will have a source of munitions supply that will be a long way from German air raiders. But the production here will not by any means meet the requirements. The British Sup- ply Board will perhaps be looking to United . States to supply a vast amount of war ma- terials. Between the two countries Britain _ should be assured of supplies in sufficient © quantities, which with her own production, © should be ample to meet the needs of suc- 5 cessfully repulsing any Nazi invasion. 8 at this time of year. | Destroy the Dandelion ~~ How to get rid of dandelions that spoil ~ the lawn is the greatest gardening problem We'll let you in on a . secret, says the C.LL. Oval in its current 'Looking for a less arduous way of de- © ptroying these blossoming weeds than by _ the old back-aching method of digging ~ them out, a man we know tried an.experi- ment with considerable success last sum- . mer. He knew that salt was a weed killer if applied in sufficient concentration, and that he could get plenty of it, but the prob- "Jem was to kill the weed and spare the grass. He decided to try inserting a salt fatietgineo the heart of the dandelion by £ 4 the root with a knife, then press- 1 the tablet into the stub by foot. 5 + "Experiment settled the questions as to the right size of tablet to use, and it turned 'out that 100 grain sizes were best. The dandelions shrivel up and die under this Tp ab rE cnabg ls SER ia o hi o a cs "treatment, and a bare spot about the size of a quarter is produced. We are told that these spots rapidly heal up, and that after a couple of weeks the grass comes in and covers them up." Hopped Over "Red Tape" The following from the Woodstock Sen- tinel-Review tells how a fine Canadian pilot hopped over Ottawa red tape, secured a berth in the R.C.A.F. and made a name for himself: . "Quite frequently we read of distin. guished service overseas by Canadian air- men who were unable to get into the Air Force in this country, but paid their way to England and they were accepted. The latest instance is that of Pilot Officer David Crooks, of Toronto, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for a daring bombing attack upon enemy armored ve- hicles on the Amiens-Albert road last month, It is related that before going to England in 1937 he tried to join the R.C.A. F. but was 'rejected because he was too old,' being then 24 years of age." British, Despite War Pushes Sales If anything more were needed at the present time to increase our admiration for the people of England as they face the greatest crisis in their history, we have it in an announcement from the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition authorities. This an- ouncement reports that the exhibits in the British Section of the big fair will be the largest ever shown there. KEagerness to maintain trade with Canada and the United States has been reflected in communica- tions received by C.N.E. officials from Bri- tish firms. While battling the enemy at their very doors, the Englishmen are at- tempting to carry on business as usual. Canadians generally are applauding the action of the Canadian National Exhibition authorities in continuing the show this year on the grounds that it is bound to have a stabilizing influence. | Editorial Notes [ > And now the optimist believes that July can be depended upon to make up for the lack of heat in June. Oshawa playgrounds are now organizing for the summer. Some summer weather would be appreciated. Those fellows who are always borrowing matches should remember that there is a higher tax on matches. It is the wise wife who sends her hubby off to work with a smile. Probably having an eye to the "bacon" he will bring home at the end of the week. The offer of the Oshawa man to pur- chase a plane for training Oshawa flyers is most commendable. The big question is will Ottawa co-operate. Welcome to child refugees from England. Two arrived Tuesday night, another came last night and more are expected soon. Let not Oshawa hospitality be lacking. Marshal Petain gives three reasons for the defeat of France--lack of equipment, lack of men, lack of determination. Yet France had plenty of gold and changed governments oftener than any other country. Maybe France had grown old. This unemployment insurance scheme seems to be in reverse. Why not make it an "Employment Insurance" scheme. Most people would sooner work than be paid for idleness. And then, don't forget, the man who has a steady job will probably never reap any benefit from it. A Bit of Verse THINK AND WIN If you think you are beaten--you are; ' If you think you dare not--you don't; It you like to win, but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. & If you think youll lose--you've lost, For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will-- It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed--you are, You've got to think to rise; You've got to be very sure of yourself Before you can win a prize. Life's battles do not always go To the faster or stronger one, But soon or late the one who wins Is the one who thinks he can. A Bible Thought for Today GOD NEVER DESERTS US: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. --St. Matthew 28:20, "DESIGN FOR LIVING" | KEEP out OF THE WESTERN A HEMISPAERE! NOTABLE ADULTS ARRIVE WITH BRITISH CHILDREN SEEKING WAR HAVENS Passenger List is Sad and | Proud One, Containing Many Historic Names -- | Some Recall Perils | Quebec, July 4--Through moun- | tain seas lashed high by a two-| day gale that screamed along her | decks at 90 miles an nour, a camou- flage-daubed ship of mercy, tcssed over the long week-end. Tuesday she reached Quebec. Aboard her was the first bouquet from the flower of Britain's next generation. Eighty out of every hundred of the 1148 passengers | aboard her were women and chil- | dren, sent by théir nusbands and fathers to find haven in Canada, though Stukas may wheel and mur- | der over England, and their homes be rent by battle. In her wake will follow score of other vessels carrying children | of less well-to-do parents--but this first ship's precious cargo carried a list of children whose names are written on Magna Charta, blazoned at Crecy and at Agincourt, great since William tls: Conqu-ror -] names like Cavendish, D"Egville, | Sisonby -- names that were good when Alfred was Great -- Fisher, | Olden, Blake. There was heartbreak and chil dish glee blended on the voyage. ~ Every available space was taken, | from the tourist cabins over the | propellor shaft to the luxury suites | on the upper decks. There were | titled occupants in inner rooms | below the stairs, and scores alony | the first-class decks, but the flood | of young and energetic passengers swept away all barriers and de- | molished every trace of caste. They ate like cheerful locusts--demolish- ing even the olives in the Bar. "Sad and Froud List The list of passengers was a sad list, and a proud list. There was Frau Englebert Doll- fuss, the fair wicow of the gallant little Austrian that Hitler's agents murdered on a satin settee in 1934 because he was true to his coun- try. She has spent two years in rural England after her escape from the Continent, and brings with her to Canada the 12-year-old Eva and the nine-year-old Rudi whose pictures broke your hearts with compassion when you saw them six years ago. There was Lady May Abel-Smith, daughter of Canada's new Gover- nor-General, the Earl of Athlone, and the Princess Alice. Lady May came in a tourst cabin with her children, Anne, seven; Richard, six, and Elizabeth, three. She probably will stay for several months, she told reporters, residing with her parents at Rideau Hall. At the rail, with his left wrist in a plaster cast when the boat dock- ed, was young Hon. Victor Harms- worth, grandson of Lord Rother- mere, who broke his wrist in a fall aboard ship. Head for Toronto Of great interest to Toronto are the nine well-mannered children of members of the staff of Oxford University, sent by their parents to the welcome refi'ce offered by Uni- versity of Toronto staff members, They are: Patricia (13) and Martin (11) Clarke; Chloe (8), and Stephe:: (4) Fisher; Kathleen (14) ang Dorothea (12) Simon; Mary (8) and. 'Anne (3) Spence and Mary Olden (2). : At Montreal they will be met by Dr. Dorothy Forward, of the Uni- | will follow versity of Toronto staff, and in Toronto, a committee headed by, Mrs. Ardhur will meet them and take them to Wymilwood, Vic- toria College women's residence, where a committee under Miss Marie Parkes has set up a home for them---and the three more who will come from Oxford, the 74 who frcm Cambridge, and th2 40 each from Birmingham and Manchester, Other ycung notables included the 11-year-old Earl of March, heir to the Duke of Richmond, his brother, Lord Nicholas Gordon Lennox; the Earl of Bessborough's yecungcst son, the Hon, G. St. L. Ponsonby, born in Canada while DEey | his father was Governor-General; Lord Queenstorough's daughters, the Hon. MN cs Paget; the Duke of Devonshire's son, Lord Caven- dish, and Lord Apsley's sons, the two small Barhurst boys. Adults of importance were the Welsh coal magnate, Lord Portall; Lord Northcliffe's aide and Times director, Canadian-born Sir Camp- bell Stuart; Lady Anne Ebury,; Sir Howard D'Egville; Lady Morris and her three children; the Baroness Sisonby, and Vincent Korda, broth- er of the movie director. Barely Escaped Nazis Another passenger was Rev. Joseph' Meck, a member of the Brothers of Christian Instruction and a native of Montreal. He said he and six fellow-members of the Order had "just left in time" the Channel Islands, where German troops landed this week after Naz planes had bombed the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. . "We never expected anything like that to happen on Jersey a month ago," he said. "I don't think the island can be of any usé to the Germans--there are no harbors and I rather imagine the British took good care to destroy the airport before they left." One of the groups arriving was in charge of Major F. J. Ney, ex- ecutive vice-president of the Na- tional Council of Education. They are being transferred from Britisn schools to affiliated schools in the Dominion. Somz will go to Ash- bury College, Ottawa, and others to Edgehill School for Girls at Wind- sor, N.S. People Know Truth Major Ney said plans for bring- ing out other school children were practically complete. He found among the British people "a grow- ing sense of the fact that they are searching the hour for which the Empire was born," during his re- cent trip to England, the Major stated. "People know," he added, "where they stahd and what they have to face. No doubt, there are hard and dark days ahead, but all are confi- dent that eventually Hitler will be beaten," "If the Empire can't win," said Major Ney, "the lights will go out throughout the world and we will once again be in the Dark Ages." He added that there was "no des- pair," but "a growing confidence" in Britain, PETERBORO MOURNS " CHARLES ROUTLEY Peterboro, July 4.--Well known in Business and -social life here for half a 'century, Charles B. Routley died a' his home. Born in Kingston, he came to Paterboro 60% years ago. He war once a Sunday school teacher anc member of the choir and had serv- ed for 40 years as deacon of Murray Street Baptist Church: He was made a life member of the Diaconate Board of that church. | Magistrate Critical Of Canadian Wine Peterboro, July 4 --Canadian wine is about the "worst thing a person could put on his stomach," accord- ing to Magistrate W. A. F. Camp- bell, of Port Hope. A young Harvey Township man appearing before him was told he would have been much safer to drink beer. The lad admitted hav- ing three or four drinks of wine, whereupon Acting Crown Attorney F. D. Kerr commented that after three or four he would take the count. "Canadian wine has caused more trouble than anything else," the magistrate said. "I never hesitate to say a word against it on every possible occasion." 'Laurentia' Under Arcand German Offer to Quebec Lapointe Orders Inquiry Enemy Broadcast Leads Minister to Assure Fur- _ ther . Action Against In- terned "Fuehrer" Ottawa, July 4--A German short wave radio broadcast recently an- nounced to the French-Canadians of Quebec that Hitler offered them full and complete independence, but the Minister of Justice, Rt. Hon, Ernest Lapointe, did not learn of it until Dr. Herbert A. Bruce read an account of it to him in the House of Commons. By virtue of his position in the cabinet and also as the foremost French-Canadian in the country, it might be supposed that Mr. La- pointe would have known what is transpiring amongst his own peo- ple. But when Dr. Bruce read an article from Le Jour, the Montreal French-language newspaper, reveal- ing the German broadcast directed especially to French Canada, the Minister had to confess, "I have not read the editorial nor have I heard of this broadcast." "Laurentia" Offered Paraphrasing the German broad- cast, Jean Charles Harvey, the edit- or of Le Jour, wrote that Hitler is offering Quebec its full and com- plete independence. "We have only to rebel against Great Britain, and then we shall have our Laurentia. There will be a customs union with Nazi Europe and it was announced that our first gauleiter would be Adrian Arcand.". The purpose of the Le Jour article was to point out that instead of being interned Ar- cand should now be up before a military court. Dr. Bruce had a series of ques- tions to ask Mr. Lapointe on the subjeot of Arcand, the final one of which was whether, in view of the close connection between Arcand and the Hitler regime as revealed by the broadcast, Mr. Lapointe deemed the measures taken to place the Canadian Fuehrer under re- straint to be adequate. "Of ccurse, I am going to inves- tigate," Mr. Lapointe promised con- cerning the broadcast, as he ex- plained that the internment of Ar- cgnd and the Fascists associated with him did not mean that this was the only penalty they would incur. They had been interned so that they could not get out on bail under any technicality, pend- ing prosecutions under the Crimi- nal Code. y Investigation Cools Mr. Lapointe has another inves- tigation, a domestic one, on his hands, simply shrieking for atten- tion. It is from "Calling Canada," that mystifying organization that of late has been calling down the King Government for its lack 'of | war effort. A few days ago Mr. Lapointe said he was going to investigate "Calling Canada." A. R. Adamson 'asked him, how and when? At that mo- ment "Calling Canada," the three of it, were sitting in the public gallery; Judith Robinson, president; Oakley Dalgleish, vice-president, 0) before the opening, Lapointe received this us. 3% "You sald that you were going to investigate, 'Calling Canada.' Here is the number of our room at E Chateau Laurier. Please inv gate." g But Mr, Lapointe has no taste y this investigation, possibly because "Calling Canada" is so anxious to be investigated and tell the what it thinks. So the or announced that it is not his pur- J pose to investigate "these highly sae timable ladies and gentlemen What, he Bonsai was that he" would subm eir advertising ¥ his officials to ascertain whether i came under some of the i respecting the Defense of ih Mr, Hanson advised him not make martyrs of the "Calling Cans ada" trinity, and Mr, Lapointe promised he wouldn't, MOTOR SALES UP APART FROM WAR TRUCKS INMAY Sales of new motor vehicles, ex~ cluding deliveries to the Govern- ment for war purposes, continued to show improvement, sales in May advancing to 20,540 units with a re~ tail value of $22,721,702 ok with 18,800 for $20,773,000 in April, 17,837 for $19,304,862 in May, 1039. .Sales during the five months ended May totalled 71,070 valued at $78,- 868,773 compared with 57,025 valued at $62,144,559 ih the corresponding period last year, revealing gains of 24.6 per cent. in number and 268 per cent. in value. fi "ROUND TRIP BARGAIN FARES JULY5-6 from OSHAWA TORONTO .
