Net Paid Circulation Avelage Per Issue # 4 2 tv) 7 MAY, 1948 FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1948 More Action--Fewer Words At the end of the third day of the Ontario County Council session yesterday some members expressed a desire to quickly complete the balance of their business and get home. They were told by the clerk that the bulk of business had yet to be transacted. Immediately a night session was called. On the first day of the session the entire Council met to | view the county forest--at county expense. We understand they had a very illuminating trip and an excellent dinner in Uxbridge. On the following afternoon they adjourned to Cannington Fair. Wednesday, so much time was spent in discussion in formal council that committees got behind. Much of yesterday afternoon was spent discussing a matter at great length which had been fully threshed out at a special session in April, the only excuse for reintroducing it being that the motion was worded somewhat differently. The very obvious intention of all this superfluous discussion was an attempt by a few members of council to direct the work of the county assessor whose duties are fixed by statute and who should be completely free from pressure by any part of any council. Appeals from his decisions can be made in o of four avenues so provided. ~~... Other county councils frequently transact more business in less time. We feel that the public interest could be just as well served if Ontario County Council would buckle down to business at subsequent sessions. Perhaps starting the session at the appointed hour would help. We do' not go so far as to say that they have been wasting time. Acclaim Well Deserved .| April, The actual cost of * Other Editors = THE BEAUTIFUL DEB , (Detroit Free Press) It's rather a shock to see a beau- tiful deb at her coming-out party, when she looks so demure and beau- tiful, flopping around the neighbor- hood next morning with slacks roll- ed up and her shirt tail out. NO INFLATION? HS (Brantford Expositor) The official cost-of-living index went ahead another 1.7 points in living probably is a notch or two beyond that again. Will anybody now say that this country has escaped infla- tion? CALLING A HALT (Minneapolis Star) The nation is getting tired of be- ing pressured by uncompromising unions just as it is tired of the spinning merry-go-round on which the wage horse chases the price horse and another price horse fol- lows the wage horse. It is time to stop the merry-go-round, before it breaks down. WORTH TRYING (Detroit Free Press) A Shirley, Mass., preacher an- nounced a Sunday service "for sin- ners only" and got a record crowd. He had urged those who believed themselves saintly and pious to stay away. This smart pastor must be a smart cookie. He knows how to | get rid of the pharisees and hypro- crites so as to give real folks some elbow room. We suggest other min- isters try the stunt, FUTILE DEBATE . (Brantford Expositor) Prime Minister Mackenzie King has persuaded Parliament to speed up its work so that prorogation may come by June 30. Not much use de- bating the budget anyway, since there seems to be, in the Gilbert and Sullivan term, no possible doubt whatever that it will be passed by the Government-supporting major- ity. FAILED IN DUTY (Brantfdrd Expositor) John Bracken, the National Lead- er of the Progressive Conservatives, says that if the special excise tax on motor cars is continued, the streets of Oshawa and Windsor will soon be covered with grass. While 1e might 1 e to become quite as agricultural as that, there is no denying that the tax is unfair and uncalled-for, Parliament neglected its duty when it failed to force the Minister of Finance and the Gov- ernment to rescind the discrimina- tory levy. ' "BUT" AND "ACCEPT" (Chicago Daily News) What a wonderful thing the Eng- lish language is! Especially words like "but" and "except." This mar- velous tongue permits the Federal Works Agency to say that building materials will soon be in ample The first concert of the summer season was presented by the Oshawa Regimental and Civic Band at the McLaugh- lin Band Shell in Memorial Park last night with a very large | audience in attendance despite several counter attractions | of some importance. This auspicious opening speaks well for the popularity of the band and the calibre of the con- certs it presents. Seldom has Memorial Park presented a more pleasing appearance. The employees of the Parks Board had cut the grass and set out the benches, while the band shell itself has taken on new beauty with a fresh coat of paint. It is to be hoped that the park and the shell will retain their fine appearance throughout the summer and that residents of the city will co-operate in doing all in their power to retain it as one of the city's beauty spots. As has been their habit, when other engagements do not interfere, Col. and Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin attended the concert and were most appreciative of the program. It is a mark of his citizenship that Col. McLaughlin has not been content to provide residents of the district with the facilities for the enjoyment of good music but also sets an example by closely following the progress of the band and sharing in the pleasure which it brings to Oshawa. It speaks well for the people of the city and surround- ing districts that despite the chill which came with the darkness that very few left the concert before its concluding selection. It is conclusive evidence that the efforts being put forth by Bandmaster Broadbent and the members of the band are more and more appreciated with each passing year. It is to be hoped the time will never come when Oshawa will be without the services of such an excellent musical organization, : Riding In Trucks A few weeks ago a young girl was killed and a number of other children were seriously injured when a truck ovex- turned on Highway No. 7 near Markham while returning from a picnic party. Such accidents are reported all too often which brings the thought that there is need for greater gare in the operation of this type of vehicle particularly when used to carry passengers. We heartily agree with the view expressed by W. L. lark, who in his column, "As We See It," in The Windso Daily Star, recently said: : "It is dangerous to load people into trucks and take them on the highways. If there is a collision, an upset or any sort of accident, a lot of casualties turn a gay event into an occasion of sorrow. - "One great trouble in having a lot of adults or children ol a truck is the shifting of weight and loss of balance. Trucks were not made to carry live loads and the general nfovement of persons in the back of a truck can cause the vehicle to capsize. Experienced truck drivers know all this ahd they hesitate to have a load of people in the back. "There always will be people riding to events in trucks. Even though the highway laws are supposed to prohibit the practice, it is about the only way some people have of get- ting from place to place. And, there will always be acci- dents, simply because no matter how many warnings are issued, there will always be some folks willing to take a " | products. | ® A Bible Thought supply "except" for shortages in nails, pipe, lumber products, plumb- ing and heating items, and gypsum So if you want to build a house without nails, pipe, lumber, plumbing, heating, or gypsum, go right ahead. eo A Bit of Verse SEAGULLS Though the most of speed must be for prey and greed, we who watch such fly! ng, proof against small fish dying, only see within this one net of sea and alr and sun arches of white, parabolas of light, fountain jets feathered for delight. Long ago 'Homer, too, seeing as we do, biind, judged their flight, who knew all the god-near kind of wing and beak and chw; and what he saw was likeness of the lord who brings the fair or bitter word, Hermes beautiful beneath the sun in water-skimming flight, showing how easily it can be done by him and gulls, how right. .

Carveth of Newcastle has been elected president of the Durham County Sclpool Trustees and Ratepayers' Association. Oth- Peace Officer With Hands Tied Lewis, in The Milwaukee Journal What has been said in the two previous articles on the stand, taken by John Bracken as leader of the Progressive Conservative Part} in the spread of Russian communism, has been stated completely free from alarmist language. That ap- proach has been characteristic of Mr. Bracken during the whole of his 26 years of undefeated public life. His habit is to state a case factually, equitably and strongly to permit public opinion calmly to be seized with the problems presented. Strong Stand Urged The case he made out month after month for more than a year was simply this: "We must take a strong stand immediately to halt Russian communist aggression. ness we can get down to a basis of an equitable universal peace. Then the people can get to work and reconstruct a shaken world. For Canada it means the only path to a stronger and a wealthier na- tion. Let us use Canada's brains in Canada, for Canada, as the surest means of living with and helping other nations to live in security and abundance. Correct Abuses But Mr. Bracken went further in defining means to prevent any re- surgence of totalitarian ideologies that so often have taken excuse to disturb and mislead people. Speak- ing in the House, February 3, 1947, he said: world can serve their peoples more effectively than communism serves the Soviet Union and we must demonstrate that fact 'to the other nations. The best way to do so is to correct the abuses that give an excuse for communism's birth; and when I say that I am talking to our own people. We must show how highly our type of economy can serve society." Prevent War He went on to say: "The preven- tion of war can be achieved if we demonstrate fully - that precept. If we fail, then communism will spread and the danger of war in- crease. That is the first step; but there must be a second defence against war. The democracies must maintain adequate means for pre- venting aggression by any nation, however great. We look to the Se- curity Council to organize this means and we must be resolute to sustain the United Nations to achieve its supreme objective." et To Work racies by firm collaboration must see to it that their combined strength is such as will deter any aggressor, communist or otherwise, or any combination of communist aggressors from furthering their designs by means of wear in any form, The issue is clear; we free people must serve - society better than communism ever can.

It took more than a year for Prime Minister King and his Minister of External Affairs, | Mr. St. Laurent, to accept these | submissions of the Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, Mr. Bracken, and to formulate policy in the direction of the Bracken | thesis. It is not surprising, there- | fore to hear people say, that if the Bracken policy is directing govern- | ment action, why not vest him with | power 'at the mext election?
