Net Paid Circulation Average Per lssue 7.6 \ 7 FEBRUARY, 1947 THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1947 Bashful Newspaper Owners There is no mystery or secrecy about the ownership or control of The Times-Gazette. It is owned and controlled by the people who operate it. They hold the stock in their own names, fill the statutory offices of the joint stock com- pany and conduct the business of the newspaper from its own offices in Oshawa and Whitby. The newspaper's financing is all done through regular banking and mortgage company channels. It has no tie-up with any political party or with those who have personal political ambitions. At times we have some sympathy with the views held by T. L. Church, veteran Progressive Conservative M.P. for Broadview Riding, who has tried repeatedly to get the gov- ernment to make it obligatory for newspapers to publish at stated intervals the names and addresses of their principal . stockholders, bondholders, etc. In other words, Mr. Church thinks the business of newspaper publishing, which has to do with the molding of public,opinion, should be an open book, not carried on mysteriously or secretly by those who have some ulterior motive and who therefore think it best not to disclose their identity to their readers and the public generally. So far as The Times-Gazette is concerned, no such law is necessary. That is also true in the case of most Canadian newspapers. There are a few, very few, that are the excep- tion, Fortunately, the public is generally quick to realize the situation and the identity of the bashful owners soon becomes known through the medium of street or coffee shop gossip. Woman's Crowning Glory With the approach of the Easter season, the big ques- sion in the minds of a large section of the female population has to do with a new hat. Easter parades will see the display of the most unusual creations which to the female mind are chic and becoming but to the male, when you get him pinned down, are just plain awful.' The Royal Ontario Museum has struck a seasonal note In its April issue of facts dealing with the museum in which it says: "Originally woman's crowning glory was undoubtedly her hair, but for centuries it has been her hat. This article of clothing or accessory of dress has been fashioned in the greater variety of shapes, sizes, and substances than any other item of apparel, and a glance at the past is enough. to assure us that history rarely repeats itself when it comes to hats. An early 16th century tapestry in the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology reveals that each of the twenty or more women depicted in it is wearing a different hat or headdress. "Then, as now, they were a means of expressing one's indi- viduality, but if, after looking in hat-shop windows, some of you think this form of expression is being carried too far, just turn back the pages of the history of fashion to the 18th century. There, particularly in France, we find fantastic hats beyond our wildest dreams. Novelty beyond anything else was the desire of the fashionable French lady and the milliners sought to please. This they achieved, as may be seen in drawing and paintings of that period. Historic events, incidents of current interest, and even a popular song were enough to inspire new creations in hats. The "piece de resistance" of the period was one com- memorating the courageous action of a ship in a battle against the English in 1778. It consisted of a ship in full sail complete in detail, which was balanced precariously on an elaborate coiffure. "Coming down to the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Royal Ontario Museum's collection of hats and bonnets does little to shake the evidence that variety is the spice of life. From the dainty little bonnets of the mid 19th century with their laces and ribbons, to the large hats of the early 20th laden with flowers and feathers they were, just as the hats of today, masterpieces of the milliner's art and ingenuity, and the joy of the women who wore them, as their crowning glory." For Clean Food A great deal of time is devoted by the local Board of Health and its officials to the inspection of premises in the city which handle all types of food. Inspections cover dairy farms, dairies, slaughter houses, butcher shops, food stores and restaurants, to mention only a few. As a result the public is today assured of receiving meats, foods and beverages which are in first-class condition. The present day trend toward the protection of health is everywhere being emphasized with the result that the old time "hash slingers" are fast becoming a thing of the past. Health standards must be closely adhered to with the result that restaurant and hotel kitchens are being modernized and the most up-to-date equipment installed. roller towel of other days is being replaced with paper towelling and chemicals are being used for the washing and disinfecting of dishes. The Oxford County Health Unit has taken a forward step by inaugurating an educational program in food handling. Under the supervision of its chief sanitary in- spector a series of educational programs, including lectures and films will be shown in various Oxford centres. Four classes will be held in each centre calculated to impress food handlers. and the public with the necessity of preventing the spread of communicable diseases. At the conclusion of the course qualified persons will be given certificates as certified food handlers. : "Don Quixote" Orillia's Fine Record Without Liquor Even the --Partymiller in The York (Pa.)

Forty-seven farmers banded to- gether at Pickering to form a new association, W. H. Westney was elected president and A. Allison was named secretary-treasurer. Robert L. Huggard, one of the oldest residents of Whitby, passed away. Coming to Whitby from Clark Township in 1874, Mr. Hug- gard was noted for his operation of a particularly fine orchard just north of the Grand Trunk Station at Whithy Junction. Priceless Art Store For British Nation London--(CP)--One of Britain's greatest private art collections may pass into the nation's possession as a result of negotiations proceeding between Lord Leconfield and the National Trust. If suitable arrangements for up- | keep can be made, Lord Leconfield | proposes transferring Petworth House in Sussez and all its con- tents--together with 10 miles of park--to the Trust. Priceless paintings hung in Pet- worth House include Hieronymus Bosch's "Adoration of the Kings"; a group of Van Dyck pictures, por- | traits by Joshua Reynolds, two | Gainsborough landscapes, a Lenain, three Hobbemas and many Lelys. One valuable part of the house is | the Grinling Gibbons Carved Room, measuring 60 feet by 24 feet. SPRING Spring 1s more than the snowdrop, Hanging ,its bells of pearl, forever mute; It is more than the crocus-chalice, More than the clear pipe of the robin's flute. Spring is more than the rainbow Leaping seven-colored after the rain; It is more than the gleaming willow-- Though these delights return with Spring again. | Spring is the life's renewing, The drum of the pulse, the blood beginning to sing, The brightening eye, the unwary heart's undoing-- This, O this is in ng! --Audrey Alexandra Brown. * Other Editors WHAT ABOUT ENERGY (Brantford Expositor) Pravda says the U.S. proposals for atomic energy control face the likelihood of veto in the United Na- tions Security Council.

Moreover, 'Britain may lose everything but heart.

Oril: lia and Coldwater have been under local option since 1908--nearly 40 years. Both places turned against the legalized liquor traffic because of the very unpleasant conditions accompanying it. These conditions were a nightmare that has pretty well passed from the memory of those who experienced them; they are utterly unknown and unrealized by the great majority. Neither Orillia nor Coldwater has suffered by the decision taken by the men of 1908--for in those days few women had votes. Certainly Orillia has not. Predictions that Orillia would lose ground from a business standpoint have been com- pletely falsifield. At that time the third town in the County of Sim- coe, within four years Orillia had climbed to first place, and has held it ever since, except,for a short period during the war, when Camp || Borden swelled Barrie's population and business. Under local option, Orillia devel- oped into the chief industrial town north of Toronto. Its only rival in Huronia, Owen Sound, is a city that has been under local option longer than this town. Under local option, Orillia be- came one of the best tourist towns in Ontario. Again, our chief rival, Midland, had local option before it was adopted here--and still retains it. Liquor and its concomitants are no attraction to tourist resorts. It was predicted that Orillia would lose its farm trade if the town shut off the sale of intoxicants. In 1908, in spite of the efforts of the board of trade, Orillia had a very second rate market. But Orillia's kept on growing until it became by all odds the largest in the county, and it still keeps up, whereas mark- ets in other towns tend to slip back. Orillia's commercial business has grown by leaps and bounds, and our merchants now enjoy one of the largest turnovers of any town in Ontario. ] ADVENTURERS' COMPANY The Hudson's Bay Company was formed, in 1670.
