6 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, May 26, 1853 Editorials _ The Bally Tim 57 Simeoe Street South, Oshaws, Ontarle Welcome to United Church Bay of Quinte Conference Today a distinguished body of men, clefgymen and laymen is assembling in Osh- awa for an important. four-day meeting. They are here for the annual meeting of the, Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada. The Conference covers a wide area, embracing the Presbyteries of Oshawa, Lindsay, Peterborough, Cobourg, Belleville, Kingston and Renfrew, and the 500: delegates will be evenly divided be- tween ministers and laymen. These delegates are here for two purposes. First is to review the progress of their church, to hear and discuss reports from committees on many subjects, and to ar- range for the settlement of ministers in new charges where they are changes to be made. The second purpose is to derive spirit- ual replenishment and stimulus from as- sociation with one another, and from the addresses which will be delivered by out- standing church leaders. These two purposes are of equal importance, and will make the Conference sessions full of interest for all United Church members. Of additional interest to Oshawa is the fact that presiding over the sessions will be an Oshawa minister, Rev. Dr. George A. Telford, .minister of St. Andrew's United Church, who has for the past year held the office 'of President of the Bay of Quinte Conference, This is no small distinction, and Dr. Telford has carried out his duties with great credit to himself and to the congrega- tion which he serves. Doubtless there will be many keen dis- cussions during the sessions. The United Church plays a large part in moulding the religious life of the people of Canada, and there are many phases to its all-embracing program for spiritual and moral betterment. These discussions' will be of wide interest, since they will reveal the thinking of the church leaders of Eastern Ontario. The delegates will have a busy four days. But in coming to Oshawa they have come to.a goed city which bids them welcome. We wish the Conference a fruitful and profit able session, blessed with a forward move- ment in carrying out the great program of the United Chureh of Canada. Another Appeal for Disaster Victims Every. time disaster occurs, the kindness and generosity of spirit of the people of Canada is revealed. Coupled with the feel- ings. of horror at the terrible destruction wrought in Sarnia and other western On- tao points by last Thursday's tornado is a strong sense of sympathy for those who haye suffered personal or property loss from the storm. Here in Oshawa, we were indeed. fortun- ate. In its course, the tornado eut a swath across Western Ontario, and appeared to be heading in this direction. But somewhere between Hamilton and Toronto it was di- verted out across Lake Ontario, so that this city experienced only a fairly mild, thunder- storm, and escaped the kind of damage done wherever the tornado struck. More than sympathy will be needed, how- ever, to get back on their feet those who have been rendered homeless and who lost all their belongings as a result of tornado. It is estimated 'that the damage will run into many millions of dollars. Doubtless the gov- ernment of Ontario will, as it has done on previous occasions, extend such measure of financial help as it can to meet the emer- gency. Abové and beyond that, however, there will be need for an outpouring of as- sistance from private sources to help re- establish the suffering families, The Sarnia Canadian' Observer has been quick to re- cognize this by establishing a tornado re- lief fund, in the raising of which most of the newspapers of Ontario are eo-operating. The Times-Gazette is happy to be associat. ed with this effort, and will be glad to re- ceive and acknowledge any local contribu- tions toward this laudable cause. We feel sure that, as they have done in past appeals of a similar nature, the people of Oshawa will do their share towards the relief of those who were victims of the tornado. Dress Up City for Coronation take to dress up the whole city for the occasion, so that the co-operation of our, citizens, and particularly those with places With the announcement made by the Re- tail Section of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce that local retail stores will be elosed on Coronation Day, June 2, the day beging to take on the semblance of at least a partial holiday, since it is likely that other business and professional offices will also be closed on that day. This should off- set, to some extent at least, the dampening effeet on the coronation celebration pro- duced by the decision of the eity's indus- tries to work as usual on June 2. Even although the day is only a partial holiday, however, it is tobe hoped that the citizens and business establishments of Oshawa will show their patriotiem and their interest in the Coronation by being as lavish as pobsible in their display of decorations. The city is giving a lead in this respect by undertaking decoration of the streets in the centre of the city. It is, of course, ob- viosly impossible for the council to under- Editorial Notes Canadians are a much-travelled people.

It is not often that eitizens have an op- portunity to dress up the city for an oc- casion of this kind. The last Coronation was on May 12, 1987, some 16 years ago. In. view of the youth of our present Queen, it is likely to be a long time before there is another Coronation -ceremony to celebrate. Certainly it will not be in the lifetime of thousands of the older generatior of Osh- awa's citizens. For this reason, let all our people join in really dressing up the city with decora- tions 'suitable for the occasion. Practically every community in Canada will be doing this. Let Oshawa have a display worthy of the importance and prosperity, as well as the loyalty, of our city.

GARSON - DIET INDICATED ? QUEEN'S PARK Cheese Might Be An Election Issue By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent for The Times-Gagette TORONTO -- There are mutter- ings in the Liberal ranks these days over cheese. . The government hasn't renewed its six-cent support on the floor price. And the Grits .are crying "politics." The province's action was taken quietly. Last year it. added six cents to the federal] government's pusraniee of 24 cents a pound r cheese. This applied to cheese Produced between 'Julp 1 and Dec. The order - in - council expired automatically at the end of this period. And the government said nothing and let it die. . PLANNED 'MOVE? . This has created a furore. The immediate effect, of course, is to show up the lack of effective sup- port from the federal government. Its 24 cents isn't even given as an outright support, and the pro- ducers say that even if it were, the level doesn't approach what is needed. The Liberal politicians claim the action, or lack of it, wasn't without premeditation. To them, with the federal election coming up, it looks like a move to em- barrass the Liberal government. Could be. But so or not the looks province has a Spon case in drop- i the support. FEDERAL SSUE First, it has always taken the position that support should be handled on. the federal level. As the body with control over mar- keting and export it has final con- trol over sales. Secondly, it has claimed that provincial support is open to abuse. When for instance, Ontario gives support and Quebec doesn't, a lot of Quebec cheese finds its way into. this province. ; The subject prontises to be hot in the rural ridings, particularly in eastern Ontario.

Kennedy, recruited as orgahizel by Hon. George Drew, in himself is assurance of that. And apparently the former pre- mier and minister of agriculture has been working overtime.

AD SBANDS Talking of marriages, I see that a Parisian gallant evidently one of those woman-charming if old fashioned °I-kiss-your-hand- madame gentlemen, thinks that the Little Woman in Canada gets pil- ,a bad break from her husband. "The Canadian husband may be a fine man," says Monsieur Fran- cis Costa, "but where his wife is concerned, he fails to practice the little--how do you say it?-- courtesies of life." 'Canadian women may have a lot of material luxuries, but they are made unhappy by husbands who do not pay attention to the little things, in life which are so important to women." 3 'o cut along story short, if the by oration: husband does not notice his- wife's new hat and does not apprecia- tively comment upon any extra efforts she makes to please him, he may reasonably find her seek- ing "relief" from him at Ottawa or some other divorce court, even though he gives her what money, can buy in place of the important little thoughts which money can never buy. That is the observation of a visitor from Paris, France, where women are women and men appreciate it. OTTAWAN HONORED Major Mark Milbank, who was the ar comptroller to Govern-, ment House here when Eafl Alex- ander of Tunis was our governor- general, is to be appointed master of the Royal household to Queen Elizabeth, I hear. After the Cor- onation, he will succeed 63-year-i old Sir Piers Legh at Buckingham Palace, where he wil find that his similar, experience in Ottawa, stands him 'in stead, The 48-year-old Major, who won the Military Cross serving with Britain's crack' Coldstream: Guards during the war, will have charge; of hiring and firing the domestic staff at all the Queen's palaces, and the responsibility for keeping them el in good repair and dec- making his the world's most onerous housekeeping job.

A Greenland May Become | A New Danish WASHINGTON Greenland, Penmark's only colony, may be- come a new province of the mother country under a bill now before the Danish Parliaent. The world's largest and one of its coldest islands was home to many Americans in World War II when the North Atlantic outpost served as a vital aircraft ferry point and fueling stop. United States troops also built and man- ned weather stations, which later were turned: over to the Danish government, says the National Geographical Society. Last year a huge new air base was erected at Thule far up on the northwest coast, only 930 miles from the North Pole. The. project was sponsored jointly by the Unit- : ed States and Denmark under the North Atlantic Treaty. More recently, the Scandinavian Airline System began experimental flights hagen via Thule and the '"'top of the world". SPARSELY INHABITATED COLONY Although Greenland is one-fourth the size of the United States and 50 times the size of Denmark, its population is a mere 23,000, pre- Scandinavian descent. Greenlanders, as they call the- selves, live near the coast -- most: of them concentrated at the south- ern end. The island's heart is an eternal ice cap, up to 8,000 feet thick, which blaakets 85 per cent of the colony's 840,000 square miles.
