Maurice Roy of Three Rivers to the office of Archbishop of Quebec. The 42-year-old priest assumes the leadership of the oldest Roman @atholic See ,in North America in which he succeeds the late Cardinal Villeneuve. The first Canadian appointed to the College of Cardinals was Cardinal Taschereau who was appointed in 1886. Others who succeeded him were Cardinal Begin in 1914; Cardinal Rouleau in 1928; and Cardinal Villeneuve in 1933. The first English-speaking Cardinal appointed in Canada was Cardinal McGuigan of Toronto who was elevated to that office in 1945. With a background of brilliant scholastic and ecclesias- tic achievement behind him, despite his comparative youth. Archbishop Roy will probably become Canada's sixth Cardin- al when the College of Cardinals meets next year. Beautiful Cemeteries . As has been the custom over a long period of years, this month will be marked by the holding of decoration days in large and small cemeteries throughout the province. Al- ready a number have been held in this district and an early announcement of the holding of Decoration Sunday at the Union and Mount Lawn Cemeteries is anticipated. y During the war years it was difficult for cemetery boards to secure the help necéssary to maintain cemeteries in the condition friends and relatives would like. As a result the job of keeping grass cut and bushes trimmed in some instances fell upon the shoulders of surviving members of families. - It was not @lways an easy task but they did their work well with the régult that the graves of the departed were in most cases well cared for. There is nothing which touches the heart strings so much as the hundreds of abandoned cemeteries scattered across the province in which lie the earthly remains of the men and women who strove against hardship and privation to hew homes but of the bush and lay the foundations of the civilization whith we enjoy today. As those who remain it is our duty to s it that their last resting places do not becomesan eyesore and by their well-kept appearance indi- cate thatsthe sacrifices they made are appreciated by the present generation. Work Among Sailors To those not closely associated with the ships which sail the Great Lakes, the noble work being carried on by the Upper Canada Tract and Book Society can hardly be real- ized. Quietly and efficiently the Society is making the lot of the sailor, the lighthouse keeper as. well as hospital patients just a little bit brighter. Two rest havens for sailors at Toronto and Port Arthur are among the institutions operated. It will be of interest to residents of the Oshawa district to know that Merle Thomp- son, B.A., who served as student pastor at Westmount United Church, will be in charge of the Sailors Rest on the Toronto waterfront this summer. The scope of the Society's work is evident from the fact that last season its institutes and missionaries visited 614 vessels and 4,867 men; served 255 meals free of charge; dis- tributed 2,989 Bibles, New Testaments and Gospels; gave away 22,500 tracts, magazines and Sunday School papers as well as 1,412 books.

VIEWS ON RADIO Editor, Times-Gazette: ~ Dear Sir: A most vicious at tack on our Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation is in full swing. Thousands of dollars are being spent in newspaper advertising. Radio news broadcasts are clut- tered with "free enterprise" pro- paganda suporting the gampaign. Who is behind this attempt to place the fredom of the air in the hands of big business? Some interesting points have come to light in discusions before \ the Parliamentary Radio Committee. Four large corporations--Im- perial Oil, Canadian Industries Ltd., Aluminum Company of Ca- nada and General Electric Com- pany of Canada,--paid the cost of a "public opinion" survey by Elliott-Haynes in Toronto in an attempt to bolster the demand of private radio stations for free- dom from government regulation, it was discovered in the Parlia- mentary Radio Committee on June 4, when M, J, Coldwell (CCF natiogal leader) succeeded in pinning down Joseph Sedge- wick, K.C., who presented a brief on behalf of the Canadian Asso- clation of Broadcasters (89 priv- ate stations). The brief, elahorately prepared and distributed to the press, was obviously directed less to the Radio Committee than to the public at large, as part of a CAB campaign which includes a $32,- 000 advertising campaign. The objective is more commer- cial radio of the sort prevailing in the United States, with "free speech" no longer guaranteed through the CBC's present policy of carefully apportioning time to all viewpoints, but sold to the highest bidder--the man or the compahy who can buy up most radio time. The' Progressive Conservative members of the radio committee have Appruved the brief from the CAB, but Mr. Sedgewick had to take a good deal of critical questioning from Liberal and C. C.F, M.P.'s. A. Davidson Dunton, alert young chairman of the CBC, ask- ed permission to appear before the Radip Committee on June 5 to contradict statements made by the CAB in a big advertisement headed "Our Radio Laws Spell Monopoly." Mr. Dunton denied statements in the advertisement that the CBC could cancel any station's license without a hear- ing and that any major move by independent stations had to have the approval of the government of the day. , Part of the same organized campaign against the CBC was seen in a Progressive Conserva- tive sponsored survey in Toronto recently, which kept track of so- called "leftish" shows on the air- ways, including radio commenta- tors whose opinions are not of the "free enterprise" variety. Such shows don't appear on Am- erican networks, which seems to be one of the basic reasons why Imperial Oil, Canadian Industries Ltd., Aluminum Company of Ca- nada and General Electric would like to strip power from the CBC and buy up the airways for big business propaganda. Yours truly, A. G. SHULTZ. Oshawa, June 10, 1947, GETTING REALISTIC (Hamilton Spectator) This new recommendation for U. 8. conscription suggests democracy is no longer content in just being armed to the false teeth. "Time to T " urn on the Steam" of Pv fo -- eo A Bit of Verse MAY MORNING This is a day when one should be One of two things--or possibly three-- A cuckoo blithely whistling of Nothing at all; a girl in love For the first time but half aware Of bird or leaf or scented air; An artist in a red beret Just sauntering through the Quartier! Now isn't it nice that I may share In all this beauty? I who dare To be but moderately mad, And am not girl, nor careless lad, And am too wise and shy to sing Or fall in love because of spring, And never saw the Quartier, And never owned a red beret! --Frances Patton, in the New York Herald-Tribune. e For A Laugh IMITATION The taxi was a very ancient one and had taken a long time to reach its destination. As the passenger paid his fare he remarked: "How do you manage when your fare is in a desperate hurry?" "Ah," said the driver, confiden- tially. "I keeps on changin' me gears and 'onking me "octer." Witty "Father, will you give me ten cents for a poor man who is out- side crying?" "Yes, son, here it is. What is he crying about?" "H'es crying fresh roasted pea- nuts, five cents a bag."

'(Mark 5:30.) Of this occasion when a woman was healed by touching .Jesus in the midst of a crowd, Augustine said, "Flesh presses, faith touches." Here's all you same day you apply.
