Gitine Government Seeks Austerity JInBuilding of New Schools In view of the fact that four new public schools are being built in Oshawa, and that they are decidédly utilitarian in architec- ture and style, the information given 'by the Hon. W. J. Dunlop, Ontario minister of education, to a deputation from the Ontario School Trustees Association, is of interest here. Mr. Dunlop made no bones of the fact that his department is engaged in a program of strict austerity so far as school building is concerned. Grants will be made only for those things and such accommoda- tion as are required for teaching, and that any frills will not be considered. Among the exttas on which the depart- ment frowns, and on which no grants will be allowed, are such things as play rooms, assembly rooms, special library rooms in public schools, gymnasiums and auditoriums on any level and extra accommodation for home economics and general shops in publie and secondary schools other than vocational schools. Undoubtedly, these are things which add a great deal to the cost of building 'No Place for Red's Amid more important happenings, little attention has been given to the rejection by the. House of Commons external affairs committe of a request by the Canadian Peace Congress. to be heard on the need for an early cease-fire in Korea and for preven- tion of the further spread of the war. The external affairs committee has more important things to do than listen to a bar- rage of Communist propaganda, launched by the Canadian dupes of the Kremlin. The decision of the committee was, ap- parently, bi-partisan; and one of the most schools, but nevertheless they have, in years past, been allowed quite freely. Now the plan is to confine grants to what is essential for the teaching of the pupils, for a fundamental education, and nothing more. i This restriction on school building plans, it should be noted, has been introduced purely as a measure of economy. Because of the number of schools which will have to be built in Ontaro during the next few years, to take care of additions of over 50,- 000 new pupils each year, the government feels that an intolerable burden would be created if all the extras, as outlined above, were made eligible for government grants. From that standpoint, we are in whole- hearted agreement with Dr. Dunlop's policy. With municipal tax rates rising as they are, there is an urgent need for economy in the building of new schools. From this stand. point it is gratifying that the Oshawa Board of Education, is planning its four new public schools decided to stick to the essential accommodation needed for teaching and to eliminate all costly extras. Propaganda pointed features of the discussion was a suggestion from Gordon Graydon, M.P. for Peel and the recognized foreign-affairs critic of .the opposition. Mr. Graydon suggested that the Canadian Peace Congress be advised to present their views to the one that could do something about ending the Korean War--Moscow. The suggestion is timely--and till the so- called Canadian Peace Congress shows some interest in limiting Communist wrong-doing there is no call for Canada or Canada's re- presentatives to listen to its bleating Alcohol Behind Most Murders Prof. Joslyn Rogers, medico-legal expert, - for the Ontario Attorney-General's Depart- ment, stated in Chatham recently, that al- cohol is responsible for 85 per cent of our murder cases. Prof. Rogers. has been investigating crimes, from the scientific angle, for 41 years. In addition to having served as a criminologist with the provincial department he has been associated, in an advisory ca- pacity, with the Ontario crime detection laboratories. : _ Such a background of experience should put the professor in a position to speak with authority on the causes of crime and par- ticularly murder. While it comes as some- thing of a shock to be brought face to face "with the assertion that the percentage of murders, attributable to the use of "drink," is so high, a mental review of such cases in- dicates that the official's statement is no .

But, the Communists don't worry about that. At present their plans include persecution of the Jews and kindnesses of the past are forgotten. LOWER TARIFFS (Lethbridge Herald) . There Is no room for argument that Canada would be better off with lower tariffs and freer trade provided other countries were of the like mind and so acted. Many of cur tariffs are much too high for a country like ours which must export so much and import so many things we do not produce at home. Tariff reduction is in the air in all countries outside the Iron Curtain, It will be good for us all when the policy is implemented. -~ The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA, WHITBY) The Dally Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) Osha, Tims | reat: 11 sad ute) Sombning Th Chronicle (established 1863) is published daily (Sunday: y holiday > 's and ember of The Canadian Press, the Canadian Dally News s Association, the American Newspaper As lon, the Ontario Provincial Dailies Association and the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The fact that in many of the cases tried there has been a verdict of man- slaughter, or even outright acquittal, does not weaken Prof. Rogers' finding. It should, in common fairness, be borne in mind that the persons involved in these murderous affrays are usually people with a pronounced lack of discipline, even when sober. The fact remains that drinking to excess tends to override what little self- discipline they possess. It is easy for calm and callously philoso- phic persons to argue that such killings help to eliminate the unfit but in a community which prides itself on respect for and obe- dience to the law, such an argument should have no place. We need to implant in the minds of drink- ers, before they drink, the realization that if, as a result of drinking, they maim or kill, in the eyes of the law that will be no excuse. Editorial Notes One rumor is which we place no credence comes from Ottawa--to the effect that the general election will be postponed until spring. What--and have Mr. Abbott's 1953 budget effort wasted? Oh well, the meeting between Eisenhower, Stalin and Churchill can be removed from the lists of possible future events. A Bit Of Verse TO A BRUDGIE BIRD He sits upon his yellow swing, Upon his airy throne, a king, Of beady eye and raucous throat, Whose chest vibrates with every note. With 'dignity he puffs each cheek, And lifts his arrogance of beak; Proud of his pointed length of tail, He preens--a self-styled nightingale. The green curve of his breast swells deep, He sinks into himself, asleep, Upon his yellow throne content, Though silent, yet still eloquent. Serene within his little cage, And well provided for old age, My little bird with tail unfurled Surveys the wonders of his world. Mona Taine Adilman In The Montrealer Bible Thought "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). "Study to be quiet." (I Thess. 4:11). O soul, keep silence on the moun of God, Though cares and needs throb ro nd thee like a sea; From supplications and desires unshod, Be still, and hear what God shall say to thee, CS THATS VERY KIND OF You SERGEANT, TO HELP THE CAB DRIVER. ---* WHAT'S THE TROUBLE ?

A. Butler,Brit- ain's chancellor of the exchequer, is eagerly awaited in Ottawa. He will report to Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent, to "Trader'" Rowe and to Finamce Minister Abbott on the results of his talks in Washington with the Eisenhower administration last week. That Washington conference, sandwiched hurriedly and incon- veniently between the American inauguration and the British Cor- onation, was the sequel and the climax to the more widely heral- ded Commonwealth economic con- ference in London last November. The purpose of Mr. Butler's visit to Washington, so carefully stage- managed and pre - planned by 'Churchill's own pre - inaugura- tion talks with Eisenhower, was to sell the new Republican admin- istration on the Butler plan for loosening the clogged channels of world trade, and to enlist Amer- ican collaboration in fulfilling the blue print mapped out largely by Canada at the London Conference. Fifty-year old "Rab Butler has only recently flashed meteor-lake onto the centre of the Conservative stage in London, to nudge Anthony Eden for the succession to Winston Churchill as Party leader. PETER PAN This painstaking and capable Chancellor presents an interesting contrast with . his predecessor, Hugh Gaitskell, the socialist sheet- anchor against Bevanism, who . made such a happy personal and professional impression on his of- ficial visit to Ottawa during Brit- ain's socialist backslidng. Stold, balding Butler would run a farm efficiently in Saskatchewan and enjoy it. He married Sydney Courtauld, daughter of Britain's millionaire rayon King, and has four children. On one of his prev- ious visits to Canada, to attend an Institute of International - Affairs conference at Bigwin Inn, Mus- koka, three years ago, he was ironically caught with his pounds sterling unconverted when Chan- cellor Cripps devalued the British currency. The curly-haired younger Gaits- kell exudes effortless brilliance and Byronic charm. He was a Peter Pan among the cloddish trade unionists of the Socialist government, and with some lack of conviction he pursued the in- glorious trading isolation of Bri- tain architected by Cripps, which led to a high cost, self contained, and almost hermetically scaled bankruptcy. . THE BUTLER PLAN Butler, reversing this trend, be- lieves he can meld the sterling area with Europe and with the dollar area into one trading block, through which trade 'will once more flow freely, without the present re- siticuons of inconvertible curren- cles. The sterling area's shortage of dollars was the overriding reason why Canada lost so many of her traditional markets there for foods, grains, lumber, newsprint, and canned salmon, Other Commonwealth govern- ments agree with Ottawa that But- Itr is on the desirable track; it is dotted with signposts, many erected by Canada, such as "Liv- ing within her means," "develop Empire sources of raw mater- ials,"" and "close down unecon- omic secondary industries." Es- sential American aid includes low- ering U. 8. import restrictions, aiding the supply of development capital, and ultimately establish- ing a sterling exchange stabiliza- tion fund. Positive action must await Eis- enhower's settling in, but Ottawa is anxious to know how favorable a reception was accorded to the Butler plan. Upon this depends our own trade outlook. READERS' VIEWS Bowmanville Editor Has Reply To CCF Candjdate The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir,--I see Roy Scott, CCF candi- date in Ontario Riding, is taking me, or rather an editorial-in Be Bowmanville Statesman, to task-for "trying to smear the CCF", ac- cording to a letter appearing in your paper. Because a person dis- agrees with my ideas, I do not ac- cuse him of "smearing'" my char- acter, but just try to be tolerant of his views, for we all misinter- pret the facts at times. In this particular instance, I see no reason for retracting any of my state- ments. Following up the article which Mr. Scott criticises, we have this to say in this week's States- man: i "Maybe we are stubborn, ignor- ant or biased in our opinions, as some have accused us. With regard to the CCF and the Communists no one can deny that they are both "collectivist"; they both advocate the state ownership and operation + of the means of production and dis- tribution. To be fair we admit the difference in theory is that the Communists would achieve. their purpose by force, whereas the CCF seek change through the ballot box. "Nevertheless, as both parties are collectivist, the extreme left 'wing of the CCF merges readily with the right wing of the Com- munists. Also where organized lab- or is militantly Communist, the CCF invariably 'is closer to the Communists than in areas where labor is 'moderate. 8's Communist - dominated Unions have more power relatively in B.C. than in Ontario; so we find the CCF and the Communists closer together in B.C. than in Ontario. Indeed, in B.C. we are inclined to believe the 'popular front" idea will be a main feature of the ap- proaching provincial election, when the CCF and the LPP (Commun- ist) will try to evict the Socred Government. "Another example of CCF - Com- munist co-operation is, reflected by the foreign policy statements of the CCF in the Saskatchewan Provin- cial Election In 1952, They called for armistice in Korea, recognition of Communist China, and the re- lease of Canada from "Wall Street" domination. "The Regina Manifesto is still 'the basic document," 'the policy charter' of the CCF and, as such, was re-affirmed at their 1952 con- vention in Toronto. The Regina Manifesto works up to this con- clusion -- 'No CCF Government in Canada will rest content until it has eradicated capitalism.' "Oh, boy, if old Karl Marx knew this he surely would have turned over in his grave and heaved a sigh of satisfied relief that his communists teachings were so well observed by the CCF party in Canada." Wishing you, Mr. Editor, con- tinued success in the ever-growing circulation of The Times-Gazette. Yours sincerely, GEORGE W. JAMES Editor, The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, March 7, 1953. Pays Special Correspondent MAC'S MUSINGS How apt all of us are To criticze governments For things they do, like Imposing heavy taxes to Meet their expenditures Especially for defence And for social services And as we criticize We do not stop to think That when we do that We condemn ourselves Our government is there Because the majority Of our people wanted it And gave it a mandate To act on their behalf In all matters concerning Our national affairs. Our Members of Parliament Are merely those we have Asked to speak for us And carry out our will In the House of Commons So that when heavy taxes Have to be imposed we are In effect taxing ourselves Because our representatives Are carrying out the policies Which we as electors have ° Asked them to carry out. If we are not satisfied With what our government Is doing then we have Only ourselves to blame Because we put it there To do the very things For which we criticize. That is. one of the Beauties of democracy That when those whom We have elected do not Follow the policies that Are wanted by the people We can always turn them Out and elect others To take their places and To do for us the things We want to have done Even if we do criticize. | SCUGOG ISLAND To The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- Persistence wins. There's a bill before the house that should be called 'Fhe Grum- mett Bill". officially it's titled the Deserted Wives and Children Maintenace Act. But unofficially it could be called the W. J. Grum- mett Act For Putting the Screws on Absconding Husbands. It successfully winds up a cam- paign the veteran CCF member from Cochrane South has been waging now for 10 years. Session after = session he has argued there should be some eas- ier way of catching up with hus- bands who deserted their wives and moved away. The only way they could be brought to justice was for a complaint to be laid in the new place of residence with the desérted wife appearing. This was too expensive. GIVEN A PAT In the new act the' government has finally given way. It will make it possible for a wife to get a support order in her home juris- diction which can be enforced in the husband's place of residence. Both Premier Frost and Attor- ney-general Porter gave credit for the legislation to Mr. Grummett. It was his patient plugging that was responsible they acknowl- edged. RIGHTS DEFENDED Due to the free-thinking of an- other member a good look may be taken at the rights and priv- ileges of architects. This time it was Kitchener's Dr. Leavine, a PC but always ready to speak his Dividend At Last mind, government side or net. There. was a minor amendment to the Architects Act before the House. He didn't like it, and said 80. "It is unduly restrictive of the rights of the ordinary citizen", was the way he put it. BIG LOO, With thiy his bench-mate, R. B, Elliott of Hamilton, a contractor in private life, also objected. So Premier Frost ordered the bill laid over. There's no saying what mightn't come out of this, There are c¢er- tain members of the government who don't feel too kindly towards architects. BUG PROBLEM Lands and Forests should be one of the most interesting commit tees of the session. And one quest- fonit should go into, judging from the trend of opposition eriticism is that of disease and insect damage to the forests, Liberal Albert Wren (Tat man again! Sorry but he has had a lot to say this session) read from a report of the Research Council of Ontario which said that losses because of insects and dis- e.se amounted to 15 per cent of all the yearly drain on our forests. Fire damage was only eight per cent. MORE ATTENTION This is a matter of old concern to forestry men . . including not only conservationists, but the pulp and timber operators. Pire control marks up a huge expenditure each year. Nothing like the same amount of goes on insect and disease Perhaps it should.

LeBel Monday adjourned the trial of Pte. Reuben Henry Norman, charged with the murder of Jean Marie Atchell, his 17-year- old ex-sweetheart, to May 19.

He said Norman's defence was being handled by the Perth county legal ald committee and he had been called in on the case only a few days before. PROLIFIC COW SHALLOW LAKE, Ont.

Sir,--Now that both Celina and Albert streets have become one- way streets, could they also have a 20 miles per hour speed limit. Both of these streets have a large number of children living there, and the school on Albert Sticet is an extra danger. One way streets invite speeding. Perhaps a lower speed limit, strict- ly enforced, would reduce this has. ard. Yours irulls (Mrs.) J. COOK. 194 Celina Street. | Oshawa, March 9, 1953.
