The Bally Time! --"? 3 Is Breaking the Law Common Practice of Oshawa Drivers? In last Saturday's issue of The Times- Gazette there appeared an article giving the results of a traffic behaviour survey made by reporters of this newspaper. The results of this survey were highly significant in showing the extent to which the traffic by-laws are disregarded by motorists in Oshawa. In yesterday's issue was published a letter from an Oshawa motorist, backing up this article, and citing many other in- stances in which not only are the by-laws wviolated, but also in which the ordinary les of courtesy and common-sense are dis- egarded. We do not claim that those who drive otor vehicles in Oshawa are any worse ffenders than those in any other city. It ay be that the density of motor vehicle raffic in Oshawa is much greater than in 0st cities of its size, and that might have he effect of accentuating the incidence of Straffic violations, Neverthel:ss, even the Smost casual observer is bound to notice the sfrequency with which stop signs are ignor- sed, speed limits violated, cars parked two breast in the business section, and other sdangerous practices seen on our streets. ». It is impBssible with the present size of police force, to have officers available to check all these offenders. Violations occur at most of the cross street intersections every few minutes. And once motorists are clear of the congested business section, there are too many of them who cannot resist the temptation to step on the gas and forget all about the 30-mile speed limit within the city. The driver who keeps his car at 30 miles an hour on certain streets finds himself passed by a steady stream of vehicles with drivers who have no come punction about exceeding the limit. There are those who claim this is a matter for stricter enforcement of the law, but it is impossible to have poliemen on every street and at every point' where vio- lations occur. Rather it is a matter for the motorists to take stock of themselves, and consider whether it is worth while breaking the law for the sake of gaining a few seconds of time. Our accident record could be improved very considerably if more at- tention were paid to the signs which are placed on our streets for the public safety. 'Annual Report Oustanding Document ® In recent years, business, commercial and industrial concerns have been paying a great sdeal more attention than formerly to pub- ishing their annual reports in attractive #form. Interest in these reports has been stimulated by competitions for various clas- wifications, and some highly interesting booklets have been prepared. ? One of the most outstanding to come our ay, however, is that of the Dominion tores, Limited, a copy of which has just n received. It is so unusual for a publica- tion of this kind that it merits special com- ment. Printed in the size and style of Life agazine, it is beautifully done, and hand- womely illustrated. Only a few pages at the beginning are devoted to statistical tables of the company's business progress. The rest of it is a story, with pictures, of a wom- an shareholder making a complete tour of the company's organization, from meeting the officers and directors, down to the re- tail selling of goods in one of the company's stores, and the use of these goods in her family kitchen. Written in interesting style, also copying the Life Magazine format, it is the type of report which will be attrac- tive to all who have the opportunity to see it. It tells a story of modern merchandising which accounts for the financial success shown in the statistics. What makes this beautifully printed re- port even more interesting from an Oshawa standpoint is that it was produced in Osh- awa by General Printers, Limited, a firm which is to be congratulated on the fine job it has done in this publication, which car- ries an attractive front page in five colors. British are Not Lagging Behind Criticisms are often heard on this side of the Atlantic of the efficiency of the pro- duetive methods of British industry. State- ments are made that British methods and British machinery are obsolete, that man- power is not doing an effective job of pro- duction. If these conditions actually do exist, it is a curious thing that Britain stil' provides a considerable share of the world's manufac- tured goods. Britain, like every other coun- try, has good and bad manufacturers, but the best of them compare very favorably with any country in the world in the use of modern machinery and techniques. To quote some technical examples, the output of steel in Britain has increased from 9.8 million tons in 1935 to 16.3 million Editorial Notes The Oshawa tulip show was one of the finest ever seen, and showed the growing interest of Oshawa people in the beautifica- tion of their home surroundings. We think there is much merit in the U.N. proposal to let anti-Communist prisoners loose in South Korea. They will soon show, then, whether or not they wish to return to Communist territory. A headline in the North Bay Nugget says "Liberal Prestige Starts Slipping." The election will show whether the Nugget or the Gallup.Poll of Canada is most nearly correct.

Britain has always produced and is still producing, the largest share of the world's shipping, and the construction of tankers in 1952 was well over half of the world's requirements. The average output per man-year of British industry has increased 22 per cent since the 1939-1945 war, and with the ex- ception of the United States, with a 30 per cent increase, is by far the highest, while the actual increase in productivity in the engineering industry since the war has been unequalled anywhere, On the basis of these facts, there is clear- ly no solid foundation for the criticism that British methods and machines are obsolete.

Approve Of Margarine Sale By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION To ban or not to ban margarine may still be controversial issue on the floor of the House of Commons, but it won't raise a heated argu- ment at the breakfast table. Mar- garine has sold itself to the aver- age Canadian consumer, 'reports the latest Gallup Poll. Even but- ter-colored margarine has a solid majority throughout the nation. The rise of margarine in public favor is a successful story in the best tradition. Starting in 1943, the Canadian Institute of Public Opin- ion has conducted a series of studies on the popularity of mar- garine. At that time 35 per cent of the people approved of the sale of margarine; today, no less than per cent endorse its sale. Through the years between there 1943 35% Approve Disapprove Undecided It will be noted that the sudden upswing in 1949, with a slight re- action following, was just at the time that the sale of margarine was made legal in most provinces. This is an issue on which women feel more strongly than men (84% compared with 76%), C.C.F. sup- porters than Progressive Conserva- tives (89% compared with 77%), while the Liberals are in the middle with 807%. Voters under thirty has been an almost steady increase in the vote for margarine, until today it stands at an all-time high. From Newfy to B.C. the per- centages vary, but everywhere the majority approve. Even in Quebec where its sale is still banned, 68 per cent are for it. The Prairies, and the Maritimes, are 77 per cent, and 83 per cent in favor, respec- tively; while in B.C. and Ontario the vote stands at a whacking 88 per cent. This is the question Gallup Poll interviewers put to a carefully balanced sample of Canadians: "AS YOU KNOW, MARGARINE CAN NOW BE SOLD IN MOST PROVINCES IN CANADA. DO YOU APPROVE OF STORES BE- ING ALLOWED TO SELL MAR- GARINE OR NOT?" This is the result across the years: 1949 TODAY 6% ne 80% 20 22 16 4 1 : 100% 100% 100% (83%) are more apt to be in favor than those fifty and over (76%). There might still be a breakfast table bicker between a young C.CF. wife from the city and her older Progressive Conservative farmer husband. Even in the country, where op- position to the sale of margarine is still strong, farmers are 50 per cent for it. All other occupations are solidly behind it, as this table shows: 1951 Professional, Executive, Personnel and small Business Owners ..... Technical, Service, Clerical and Sales Staff ....... . Skilled and unskilled Labor ... Farmers Maritimes The use of color in margarine is another question. Citizens were asked by interviewers: "DO YOU THINK THE MAKERS OF MARGARINE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE IT THE SAME COLOR AS BUTTER OR NOT?" General approval for - butter- colored margarine stands at 63 per cent, a good majofity, but 17 points less than for the sale of the pro- duct itself: British Columbia ..... Farmers especially are pat for this concession to their butter. Even a year ago 37 per cent of them would allow that margarine be colored; today only 11 8 46 Should be allowed ....... 639 Should NOT be allowed .. 30 No Opinion .......... Fe ¢ 100% The sharpest opposition to the . use of color is in Quebec, where the scales tip against its use (45% to 447%). British Columbians have little color prejudice -- 83 per cent are for it. Here is the regional split. 4% 20 37 14 33% would approve, and 50 per cent are against. Women, who do the ihixing, are more inclined to prefer color than men (68% to 58%). 11 MAC'S MUSINGS They are gradually passing On to their last reward, These elder citizens of Oshawa who have fade a Great contribution to The growth and welfare Of this our community, Who have lived their day In the fierce light of Municipal conflict, and Have left their mark, Indelible, on our city. We have seen their passing, Within the last .few months, Which have taken from us Men like Ernie Marks, Gordon Conant, George Hari And now Frank Mason has Joined the brave company Of civic leaders who have Been removed to their Last resting places.' Now that they are gone, I wonder how many of us Think back to the days When they were at the helm Of the city's affairs, And guided it well warough Stormy years when it was A much smaller community But still had within it BIG JEWELRY THEFT NEW YORK (AP)--Jeweller John Rubel was lured to a hotel suite to show his wares Wednesday and was robbed of $56,500 in gems, po- lice said. The size of the haul ranked it among the major jewelry thefts that have plagued midtown Manheattan for the last 17 months. The victim said he received a tele- phone call summoning him to a suite at the Hotel Gotham to dis- play his merchandise for sale. A gunman showed up when he got there. Seeds of future greatness Towards which they had Directed its course. Our city owes so much To these its elder statesmen Who guided its destinies In its formative period And laid the foundations For the city that now is And has yet to be. We mourn their passing, And yet we realize that The mark of their work Will ever be with us, And their names are ever Immortalized by service Freely rendered that Oshawa might become A great city. Depression Not Likely Say Loan Men MONTREAL (CP) -- Two top credit men predicted today there will be no recession in 1953 in the United States or Canada. They are E. B. Morin, secretary of the Nationa] Association of Credit Men of the United States, and L. T. Allen, president of the Canadian Credit Men's Trust As- sociation. They were interviewed at the current international credit congress. Mr. Morin said sales volumes in the U. S. this year may exceed those of 1952 although profits may be smaller.

Sinclair, KC, received ' the nomination of the South On- tario Riding Liberals to represent Shem in the coming provincial elec- on. ; Miss Hattie Osborne of Courtice was elected associate superintend- ent at the annual district conven- }ion of the WMS held in Bowman- ville. The Home and School Council asked for a curfew bell in Oshawa to keep children off the streets late at night. Milton Gay won the shoot held by the Oshawa Gun Club, with a perfect socre of 25. Others with good scores were: Mr, Vincent 24, R. Flintoff 24, Thomas Miller 23, Steve Flintoff 23, E. McStewart 21, E. McLaughlin 21. Oshawa, Port Hope and Leaside withdrew from the Central Ontario Baseball League. A local sportsman Hydro employees were presented with identification badges, which they were asked to carry while on duty. Dr. James Moore, of Brooklin, was nominated by the Conserva- tives for the provincial election. Rev. F. J. Maxwell was inducted as pastor of St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church. Down payments on houses in Osh- awa were $100 and on lots one dollar. The British peop regretted the resignation of Bonar Law as Prime Minister: the inmates of Kingston penetentiary formed a debating league: brick makers were trying to standardize the size of bricks, farm implements were being stand- ardized and Edison believed that movie films would be used in schools. READERS' VIEWS Some Pointed Views Given On Rent Control Question The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir. --There should be no question about what council should do with rent control. It has been a distinct discrimination, an imposition against one section of the commun- ity. Both press and radio rant and rave of free enterprise, yet the landlord has been denied the right to operate his own business. The governments, either for polit- ical prestige, or to furnish a scape- goat, have used the landlord, he being the nearest to the tenant and the weakest link in the economic chain. If controls were necessary, why were industry's profits ex- empted. Profits were the first cause of increased cost of living. Organiz- ed labor demanded more wages to catch up, the merry-go-round be- gan, and finally the unions secur- ed position with a cost of living bonus. But what happened to the land- lard. Ten years of depression wip- ed out his income, as he was allow- ed only taxes and one half, lament- future there is no basis for antic- ipating a depression," he said. "There may be a shakedown in some industries, such as household and electrical appliances and to a lesser degree in clothing, but gen- erally business will prosper this year." Mr. Allen said Canada's economy is sound although some industries may experience readjustment. He said Canada's position is slightly ably inadequate to meet the cost of repairs. Controls were imposed. Rents were pegged at depression levels and virtual control of the property transferred to the tenant. To add insult to injury. the tenant was permitted to sublet rooms. He charged for the rooms in many cases sufficient to pay the landlord and live rent free. The biggest squawk today is from the sub-tenant, who is being un- mercifully exploited by the tenant, aided by the government, between them indignantly demanding rent control, This parasitic set - up should definitely and permanetly stop. Remember the property-own- er pays the taxes, not the tenant. Control of the property should be returned to the owner, and the law of supply and demand allowed to regulate again. The landlord is not responsible for the housing short- age. If industries must expand, let them provide accommodation for their extra help.
