During the Civic Holiday week-end the Town of Cobourg marked the 151st anniversary of the arrival of its first set- tlers with a three-day celebration that far surpassed all similar events ever held in the community. Literally thou- sands of former'residents and visitors flocked to the hub of Northumberland County during the event to renew acquaint- ances and to visit the scenes with which they were familiar in bygone days. Our readers are well aware of the fact that quite a number of Ontario towns and cities have celebrated anni- versaries or held old boys' reunions in the past two years. Admittedly Oshawa is not as steeped in tradition as Cobourg or some other districts, but we still think the time is at hand to give serious consideration to the holding of a re- union of old Oshawa residents. It was on March 8, 1924, that William J. Trick assumed the office as Mayor as Oshawa officially became a city. Next March will be the 25th anniversary of that happy event. Would it not be fit and proper for Oshawa to mark its silver anniversary of cityhood in a suitable manner? While the weather in March is not suitable for such a celebration it could be held during the warm summer mdnths when people are free to come from long distances during their vacations. A decision regarding the holding of this celebration should not be delayed as former residents must be informed and lay their plans well in advance. Similarly plans for the ceremonies cannot be formulated in a week or a month. No reunion has been held here for over 20 years so there can be no excuse for delay on that ground. The holding of a reunion would provide the medium for the renewal of friendships while business houses would reap benefits from the influx of visitors. It is an idea worthy of serious consideration. Drastic Action Needed In its July issue, Canadian Aviation, one of the leading aviation magazines in the Dominion, draws attention to the fact that during 1947 there were 279 accidents involving Canadian aircraft, an increase of 101 over the previous year, . Of these crack-ups, big and little, 19 were fatal. In 74 cases the aircraft was written off, in 152 instances major damage was sustained and in 15 accidents there was serious injury to personnel. Since its inception the Ontario County Flying Club here has Jaid particular stress upon the need for care and cau- tion in the operation of aircraft. Regular classes of instruc tion are held under the direction of experienced personnel and from time to time added emphasis to the safety cam- paign is given by pointed items in the weekly club bulletin. Despite these precautions there have been accidents with the-life of one club member being lost the day after last Christmas. One of the factors which all flying clubs must fight against is the inclination on the part of pilots toward over- confidence in their own ability. If the rules of the air are not observed and the operators of aircraft resort to smart aleck manoeuvres they are bound to run into trouble sooner or later. Such aviators figure they are different and it is essential that they should be disciplined severely. Every flying club has the right to take preventive action. When a pilot deliberately breaks a regulation the club can ground him for a period commensurate with the seriousness of his offense. It might be a good idea also to post a notice in the flight lounge presenting the details of his offense so that others will profit by experience. There is no place in the air for the pilot who fails to consider the safety of himself and the aircraft in which he is flying. It is only through the co-operation of all those associated with flying, both business and pleasure, that abuses will be eliminated and the toll taken by flying acci- dents reduced. . Editorial Notes The U.S. tourist business in Canada is undoubtedly this country's biggest cash crop. Every citizen, as a shareholder in Canada, should do his part to make these visitors welcome and render service they will appreciate, willingly pay for, and come back for more of the same kind. + + + We are constantly being reminded to be careful to avoid accidents when on holidays. But two fatal accidents occurred, recently which were certainly 'unusual and which it would appear no one could possibly foresee. In one case a prominent Toronto business man was killed by a falling beam during a miniature tornado. In another a stray horse crashed through the windshield of an automobile, pinning the driver under the steering wheel. The truth is that some accidents seem to follow their victims around and there just isn't any way of avoiding them. - And then, as Mark Twain said, statistics prove that more people die in bed than any other place, so better not go to bed. By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa.--In spite of last-minute rumors to the contrary, top-shelf Liberals here adhere to the view that in the end, only two men will allow their names to be voted upon for the leadership of the party and the mantle of office now worn by Prime Minister King--Secretary of State for External Affairs Louis St. Laurent and Agriculture Minister James 'Gardiner. And St. Laurent is still the favored candidate. It is recognized that Gardiner will have some support from Quebec be- cause he has always been known as a Laurier--King Liberal; because he opposed conscription and be- cause he is a tough, doughty fighter both within and outside parliament, On the debit side of the Gardiner ledger is the fact that he has been for greatly increased immigration and for still closer connection with the United Kingdom which might reduce the Quebec support he might otherwise get. Ranking Liberals here still do not take very seriously the report that Hon. C .G. (Chubby) Power, war- time minister of national defence candidate. Earlier, Power told both the other main candidates that he would definitely support St. Laur- ent for the leadership. Don't place much faith in re- ports that Nova Scotia Premier Angus [L. Macdonald is going to be a candidate. It is believed that his almost - sole support would be "native son" pushing from Maritime delegates. The report that Manitoba Premier Stuart Garson is being considered can be discounted for the same rea- son, and because he is known to be strongly behind St. Laurent for the leadership. Gardiner supporters are not leav- ing much to chance in their effort to promote their leader. Almost as soon as the first delegates arrived here early this week for the Liberal gathering, the Gardiner men were at it trying to line up every avail- able vote. In many delegations, they were working in virgin terri- tory because a lot of unpledged votes were among the 1,200-odd offi- cial delegates entitled to vote in the convention proceedings. The Gardiner men are making capital--or trying to--of the recent Quebec provincial provincial elec- tion in which St. Laurent played a leading part for the Liberals. They point to the result there and then turn west to Saskatchewan and note with satisfaction the near-miss the rty there had in the recent provificiyl voting as a result of the field generalship of b f this they are citing the unbroken series of personal election victories since entering the Saskatchewan legislature in 1914 by Gardiner. Here is how Colin Campbell, former "Mitch" Hepburn cabinet member and one time member of the federal House, and now Gardi- ner - strategist, sums it up for the benefit of waverers: "If we're going to win, we must have a man who can deliver for the party at an election rally. Mr. St. Laurent has failed to do that; Mr. Gardiner has proved that he can." A lot of delegates are going to bear this in mind when the chips are down and the result might be closer than most pro-St. Laurent delegates think. CORNWALL NATIVE DIES Cornwall, Aug. 5 -- (CP) -- Ald. william H. Gallinger, father of Mayor Lloyd D. Gallinger and dean of Cornwall city council, died Wed- nesday in Montreal following a brief illness. He was in his 77th year. Ald. Gallinger served a total of 32 years in Council and on sev- eral occasions was Reeve and Dep- uty Reeve. He retired several years ago as a department superintendent at Howard Smith paper mill here. GIBRALTAR OF CANADA The citadel at Quebec, occupying what for long was the most import- ant military position in the Domin- jon, kas been called the Gibraltar of Canada. for air, plans to be a leadership |, Sommerville, in The Denver Post New Liberal Leader? Hon, C. G. Power, 60, returned from the First World War, his body battered by shrapnel and gunshot wounds, to enter politics. He was elected in 1917 to suc- ceed his father in the constituency of Quebec South and has held the seat ever since, although the voting population has switched from Eng- lish-speaking to French-speaking. Thoroughyl bilingual and a suc- cessful lawyer, Maj. Power was popular within and without of Par- liament. He did not announce his leadership intentions until a few days before the national conven- tion, His announcement came shortly after the Liberals lost in a Quepec general election 25 of the 33 seats they held in the Legislature. Maj. Power was one of the Liberals' chief organizers in the election campaign, and it was reported that his decision to contest the national leadership stemmed from his dis- appointment in the party's showing in Quebec. In the Second World War as Air Minister 'he organized the greatest air training establishment the Em- pire had ever seen. When France fell in 1940, the British Common- wealth Air Training Plan was threatened with a shortage of planes. Maj. Power gambled on getting the planes and won. Pilots and other aircrew needed overseas were turned out ahead of schedule from training bases in Canada. As work on the Air Training Plan was nearing completion he broke with the government. In the fall of 1944, the government de- cided to send up to 16,000 conscripts overseas as army re-inforcements. Maj. Power said he could not cce any need for conscription when more men were volunteering for the air force than could be used and when thousands of men, liberated overseas, wanted arms to join in the fight. Himself a volunteer in the First World War, Maj. Power was elect- ed on an anti-conscription plat- form in the 1917 general election. He first entered the Cabinet in 1935 as Minister of Pensions. He was transferred to the Post Office in 1939 and in 1940, was made Air Minister and Associate Minister of National Defence. Maj. Power was. born in Sillery, Que., and made a reputation as a hockey player in Quebec. He played "rover" for the Quebec Bulldogs of the Eastern Canada Hockey As- sociation in the days when the teams used seven men on the ice. He graduated in Arts from Loy- ola College, Montreal, and in law from Laval University, Quebec. eo A Bible Thought "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Potato Crop Hit By Late Blight Hamilton, Aug. 5 -- (CP) -- The loss of at least half the potato crop in Wentworth County was predicted this morning if the fast- spreading late blight, now being fought by Ancaster farmers, got a firm grip on the promising young plants. Harley R. Marshall, of R.R. No. 1, Ancaster, making the pre- diction, said that it was still too early to tell about the blight situa- tion. "It might be very serious for farmers who have not taken the proper measures to control it," "he commented. "However, with effi- cient dusting, we think we'll be able to keep it under control." ae il Ontario's Lakeland ROUND TRIP TAX INCLUDED NORTH BAY BARRIE ....

PHONE 2825 ® Readers Views SALVAGE BOARD ACTIVE Editor, Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: In reference to the recent au, nouncement in the Press that the y Council has decided to have the-old Market Building pulled down and that the Oshawa Salvage Board would have to vacate and find another place, it would appear that a large number of the citizens of Oshawa have interpreted this to mean that the Board would be go- ing out of business, as many"en= quiries have been received along these lines. The Board wishes to emphasize that the regular monthly collec- tions of salvage will be continued and we herewith again 'set forth the schedule of collections: North-east Section--First Friday of each month. North-west Section -- Second Wednesday of each month. South-east Section--Third Mon- day of each month. . South-west Section -- Fourth Thursday of each month. We would also like to point out at this time that salvage collected" as scheduled has never been for- warded to the Market Building to be sorted and pressed, as such col- lections are weighed on the City Scales and shipped direct to the Mills in Toronto. There is, there- fore, no need for the Market Build- ing for this purpose. However, all monies received from sale of salvage are spent for supplying categories of relief which are paid for 100% by the City of Oshawa, Such expenditures are first approved by the Welfare Ad- ministrator, Mr. J. C. McGill, and as this was a considerable saving to the City space for the Manager of the Board, and Warehouse, have been provided by the City. As stated before, a Warehouse is not required for the scheduled collec tions but many citizens contribute clothing, bedding, and articles of furniture for distribution to needy families, Much of this work is oe- ing performed by close co-operation with the Women's Welfare League and Red Cross, and for this pur- pose a small warehouse is required. We would point out, Mr. Editor, that the reason for this letter is to clarify to the citizens of Oshawa that whether we have the Ware- house or not, the Board will carry on with this essential work and would request the citizens not to place their paper and rags out with the garbage, where it is buried and of no value to anyone. But to place it out on the front lawn on the regular collection days as schedul- ed above, and so in this manner help all the taxpayers. As the situations arise, donations are made by the Salvage Board, such dona- tions being first authorized by the City Council. On behalf of the Oshawa Salvage Board, we would express our ap- preciation and thanks to the Press for providing space for this letter and also for the'excellent publicity given to the Board in the past.
