@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, April 8, 1958 Editorials Times-Gusette (Oshaws, Whitby), The Dally " by Times-G Street South, Oshawa, Ontarie Oshawa Children'to Have Swimming Pool This Year Last fall, it will be recalled, it appeared as # the chldren of Oshawa were to be depriv- ed of the swimming pool facilities they had previpusly enjoyed. The two public pools, at Rotary Park and Ritson School, were both condemned by the health authorities as not meeting the standards set by the Ontario Department of Health, and it was indicated that considerable expenditure of money would be required to bring them up to these standards. : It is, therefore, good news for the children of Oshawa to know that the Oshawa Rotary Club, working in co-operation with the Board of Park Commissioners are co-operating to spend a sum of $5,000 to bring Rotary Pool up to the rigid standards required by the Provincial Department of Health, The Parks Board will take the responsibility for repairs to the pool, while the Rotary Club will fin- ance the provision of a building to house showers and dressing room accommodation, when the work is completed, and it is to be undertaken at once, Oshawa will have a swimming pool in accordance with the most rigid of standards. It is, therefore, good news for the children of Oshawa to know that the Oshawa Rotary Club, working in co-operation with the Board of Park Commissioners are going to spend a sum of $5,000 to bring Rotary Pool up to the rigid standards required by the Provincial Department of Health. The Parks Board will take the responsibility for repairs to the pool, while the Rotary Club will finance the provision of a building to house showers and dressing room accommodation. When the work is completed, and it is to be undertaken at once, Oshawa will have a swimming pool in accordance with the most rigid of stand- ards. . The Rotary Club is to be commended for taking the initiative in preserving for Oshawa's children the facilities of a. swim- ming pool, and a place where instruction in swimming and life-saving can be continued. This interest was natural, since the pool in the first place was a gift from the Rotary Club, which built it some 20 years ago. Since then it has been a godsend to city children in the dog days of summer, and has been the means of enabling thousands of children to learn the art of swimming. The thanks of the community are extended to the Rotarians for their continued expression of public service in making it possible to bring the Rotary Pool up to government stand. ards. National Wild Life Week Observed This week, April 11, is being observed as National Wild Life Week as the result of a bill adopted in the House of Commons, Otta- wa, on April 17, 1947. * Unlike too many of the "special weeks" which infest the calendar, National Wild Life Week is not designed to sell anything or to make money for anybody---except in so far as the selling of an idea to the Canadian public contributes to the welfare and well being of everybody. The week Is strictly educational, designed to awaken public interest, not merely in the value of our wild life, but of all Canada's na- tural resources. It is also a tacit tribute to the work of Jack Miner, Canadian naturalist, whose bird sanctuary, near Kingsville, Ont. is internationally known. While the act designating the week was passed by parliament at the instance of the federal government at Ottawa, the fish and wild life services of the 10 provinces are co- operating fully in stressing the importance of the observances. "What's Sauce for Remember the fuss in Washington a while ago over President Eisenhower's nomina- tion for the post of Defence Secretary of General Motors' Charles E. Wilson? Mr. Wilson, it will be recalled, was required to divest himsel of all his holding in General Motors before his appointment was approved. Strangely enough, no such fuss arose over the appointment of Labour Secretary Durkin's membership in the American Fed- eration of Labour. Nobody suggested that Mr. . Durkin should resign from his union organization merely because there might at some future time arise a conflict of interests between his role as Secretary of Labour and Editorial Notes Red is said to be the most popular color for houses in the rural areas. The influence of the little red schoolhouse still persists. If British Columbia has another election in June, it is to be hoped a new system of ballot-counting will be used, so that we will not have to wait three or four weeks to learn the result.

It is not suggested that Mr. Durkin by virtue of his appointment as Secretary of Labour, is incapable of conducting himself with a becoming sense of responsibility merely because he still happens to be 4 mem- ber of the AF of L. The puzzling aspect of the whole affair, however, seen through Canadian eyes, is that businessmen should be required to divest themselves of all busi- ness and financial affiliations, while it seems to be thought quite proper to treat trade union executives in a preferential fashion and allow them to retain their affili- ations with organized labour without let or hindrance. Other Editors' Views FARMER MUST FIGHT FOR CAUSE (Hartland, N.B., Observer) The Canadian Farmer has done much to better his standard of living, but there is still much he can do and until he gets out and fights for his own cause in a voice that will be noticed it would seem to us that his future opportunities are going to be limited rather than expanded as they should be. A Bit Of Verse SUMMIT That was a long way up, skirting the edges Of rocks and stunted pines, the slipping sand, With now and then a pause on granite ledges Where silence spread out like a quiet hand, 80 still that from our feet a rabbit sourried, A grouse shot from the bushes, pebbles fell Clattering behind us as we climbed unhurried Upon a path almost invisible. And then the summit, all the steep ways going Downward at last; here we can plainly see The merging farms, the curving hills, the flowing Of rivers into lakes, the woods--each tree Lost in all trees; each stony-fenced homesite Part of all home from this revealing height.

There are 'unmistakable signs that fatal injury has been done to television; first by the govern- ment broadcasting organization grabbing the plum television loca tions, and second by unjustified demands for more pay for less work by most of the labor unions associated with television produc- tion. Advertisers are baulking at the high cost of sponsoring television programs, varying from three to 30 times more expensive than sponsoring radio, or tele-audition, programs. The Canadian Broad- casting Corporation has already had to slice its charges for trams- mission time over its Montreal and Toronto stations. But high wages still make the cost of pro- ducing a "live" TV broadcast of high quality quite uneconomic to the cigaret, gasoline and deter- but gent hucksters. Now Canadian Famous Players, the cinema company, has applied for permits to operate "wired" television, reportedly in Vancouv- er, Kingston, Saint John and Tor- onto as trial centres. This appli- eation has considerable signifi- cance in the opinion of radio: of- ficials here, who see it as the possible thin edge of a probable wedge. They fhink that the tele- vision screen" will revert to the usual form of marketing any oom- modity, whether entertainment or essential: it will be paid for by the consumer, not supplied as a free come-on. To do this, television will have to change its form, and come into our homes along a wire instead of over the air waves. LAID ON LIKE WATER This nevel form of entertainment will bring the best sound and picture entertainment right into out living rooms, and throw baby- sitters out of work and empty our palatial cinemas, "Wired" entertainment is a fast- growing development of an idea imported from Britain. It extends to a whole community the amenity fitted in many modern hotels: namely, just a TV screen and loudspeaker on the end of a wire leading from a master-source, and a switch offering the audience a choice of say four programs. A multiple cable installed down each street, just like a water main or a hydro cable, will offer the householder of tomorrow entertain- ment piped into his home as con- veniently as he now enjoys ume limited water and power. CHEAPER AND BETTER With advertisers rebelling against the high cost of TV, the revenue available to private stations in our smaller cities will be inadequate to finance acceptable programs. Wired TV however may be the answer offered by the TV enter- tainment industry itself; with this, each householder will pay for the entertainment he uses. Hence there will be no advertising on it. Thus we will see first-run top- e cinema films in the com- fort of our own homes, paying to a coin slot attached to the TV screen. This will be cheaper than hiring baby-sitters and buying cin- ema admission tickets, it will be more comfortable than going out into winter's cold and strugglin, to find a car park. Further, will bring the home screen within financial reach of all, for we will not have to buy a $600 TV set instead will pay-as-we-laugh.
