Protecting Health Of interest to every parent whose children are about to enter school is the announcement by Dr. A. F. Mackay, Medical Officer of Health, of the holding during the sum- mer months of three special weekly clinics at which pre- school age children will be immunized. Oshawa has had an excellent health record since the immunization program was inaugurated a number of years ago by the late Dr. T. W. G. McKay. There have been few serious epidemics and the city was free from Diphtheria from 1942 until this week when a child who had not been immunized contracted the diséhse. This fine record has been made possible mainly through the co-operation of residents of the city. / We know this fine co-operation will continue to be given. At the same time we would like to point out that parents are only doing themselves a favor by having their children immunized as not only will protection be afforded them against con- tracting diseases but their future health and welfare will be safeguarded. Parking Meter Experience At a recent meeting of the Oshawa City Council it was announced that parking meters in the business section of the city will go into operation as soon as approval is given to the governing bylaw by the Ontario Department of High- ways. With an open mind on the benefits and disadvantages of such installation, we feel that it may be helpful to quote the experience of other cities. Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, furnishes some light on the question. In a lengthy editorial, headed "Parking Still a Problem," The Times-Herald of that city declares: "Whether you object to parking meters on the grounds that they are unsightly and a revival of the hitching post days, or you look upon them as 'gimme' boxes, contrived to take money from car owners and an addition to the nuisance taxes, you have to admit that they made it possible for the car driver to park for a short term, transact business and drive away. To that extent they have been a big factor in the solution of the parking problem in this city. "But they are not the whole solution. Removal of long- term parking from Main and High Streets to the side streets has reduced the congestion on those two streets while, at the same time, it has increased congestion on the narrower side streets. The use of parking meters has made it easier for car drivers who want to shop to park their cars, at almost any time in the restricted hours, fairly adjacent to the store they desire to ente "The grievance of the storekeepers in the past was that this was impossible, but parking meters have resulted in the transfer of the grievance to the owners of residential prop- erty. Several of the streets running into or intersecting Main Street are lined on both sides with residences and the owners and occupiers drive cars. Their grievance today is that they cannot park their cars in front of their own properties, and if they do very probably they will find their cars hedged in so closely that it is next to impossible to get them away from the curb." : Peterborough, Ontario, is among the newcomers to the. parking meters plan, where the experiment is only a few weeks old. The Peterborough Examiner has this to say: "The parking meters have now been in use for a fort- night in Peterborough and they seem to be working well. Of course, some of them have been out of order, and some motorists have not discovered how they work; there has been a little bad temper, expressing itself in complaints to the police and occasional kicks at the meter posts. Already a few motorists have become skilful in parking their cars for two or three minutes on the remainder of somebody else's investment--a piece of chicanery which requires the keenest judgment and daring. But the revenue from the meters is rising, and we think that the city is growing used to them. . "The meters have accomplished the result for which they were installed: they have made parking much easier, even on the busiest days. i many people are ready to face the bother and expense of parking all day long beside a meter and the chronic parkers--some of them business men who parked all day outside their offices or stores--have been cleared from the streets. And that means that people who want to do business in the offices and shops--the people who really buy things and spend money--can park without much trouble.

Survey Results Are Apparent In New N.G.S. Map Washington, D.C.--Reflecting in- terest in the possibility of air travel across the Arctic regions, a new National Geographic Society may potrays the top of the Western World--the vast expanse of Canada with its islands stretching toward the North Pole, together with with Alaska, Greenland, Newfbundland, and Iceland. ? The ten-color map, distributed as a supplement to the June issue of the National Geographic Magazine, incorporate the results of wartime surveys of the Far North. A new transcontinental highway across Canada also is traced. Even winter tractor trails which supply north ern Canadian mining districts are included. The newly, determined position of the North Magnetic Pole on Somer- set Island is shown. This point is some 250 miles from its old position on Boothia Peninsula. The map emphasizes the closeness between the Western Hemisphere's northland and the Old World. In Bering Strait, Eskimos on Little Diomede Island live under the Am- erican flag only three miles from their cousins on Big Diomede, a Soviet Russian possession. Their home are in different hemispheres, separated in time by a whole day. When it is noon Wednesday on Lit- tle Diomede, it is 11 a.m. Thurs- day on the neighboring island. The area covered by the map pre- sented an. unusual mapping prob- lem because conventional projec- tions involved sizable distortion or variation in scale. Consequently, a new projection--the Chamberlain Trimetric--was devised to measure distances with great accuracy and ¥ give little angular distortion. It is based on triangle of three great circles from which all other points are determined. Looking Ahead In Ottawa By The Canadian Press Ottawa, June 2--(CP)--The gov- ernment apparently will soon have before it a proposal that a Royal Commission probe into the fate of evacuated Japanese lands in British Columbia be broader than now re- ported contemplated. This will develop in the mear fu- ture as the thorny problem is about ready to move back into the larger forum of the Commons itself after an occasionally heated period in the committee on public accounts. It is expected to go back with a recommendation that the govern- ment appoint a Royal Commission to investigate dealings in the lands, thus opening up a broader vista than reported planned in a govern- ment move to mame a commission simply to study Japanese claims, estimated at a potential $5,000,000 by Japanese spokesmen. Canteens Establishment of a benevolent fund for army veterans and their dependents is expected to be recom- mended to Parliament within the next few weeks as a climax to study by a special committee of what to do with some $9,000,000 in Army canteen funds from the Second World War. The committee is understood to camera ; ed legislation now in final preparation and consideration. It has recommended that the money be used over a period of years suf- ficient to cover the lifetime of vet- erans of the last war. Benevolent funds for Navy and Air Force veterans are already in operation. No merger is anticipated. Opposes Remarriage of Divorced Persons Bedford, England -- (CP) -- It should be "made impossible" for a divorced person to re-marry: while hig or her former partner is still alive, the Anglican Bishop of St. Alban's, Rt. Rev. Philip H. Loyd told the 8t. Alban's Diocesan Con- ference. "Many people may think this is a very hard rule to observe without exception," the Bishop said, "but we are with our backs against the wall, fighting to maintain sanctity of Christian marriage. "Nothing less than the strict ob- servance of that rule is going to stay the rot. We are made Chris- tiang not just to be comfortable in this world. The hardsQip of having to live a celebate life may be very real for some, but it is not intoler- able." The bishop said he never gave permission for marriage of divorc- ed persong in church lle tne di- vorced partner was still ve, nor did he sanction any blessing of a marriage performed in a registry office, Prosperity Theme Chifley Speech By WILLIAM STEWART Canadian Press Staff Writer Canberra, Australia-- (CP)-- Prime Minister Chifley closed a debate on post-war Australia with the statement that the coun- try today is in as sound a posi- tion as any nation. The Labor government leader said employment is at the record figure of 2,250,000 of a national population of about 7,500,000 and factories employ 200,000 more workers than before the war, Australia is meeting expendi- tures out of income, he said, and is cutting down debts abroad. At no time did so many new indus- tries seek establishment, with numerous foreign applications, as well, for investment in Austral- ian enterprises, The Prime Minister said farm- ers have improved their financial position, upemployment is low- er than ever before and business is prospering. Output of bricks for house building has doubled and steel production is 15 per cent greater than in normal times, he told the House, Chifley made comparisons be- tween Australian and British rates of income taxation to show that Australian rates were lower and wound up with criticism of Opposition members for "decry- ing their country." "Only a mentally 'deficient person. would be unable to see that there are more goods in shops today than there have been for many years," said the Prime Minister.
