8 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, June 25, 1053 Editorials The Dally Times-Gaseite (Oshawa, Whitby), by Times-G 57 Simeoe Sireet South, Oshawa, Ontario George Drew Follows Same Tactics as in 1943 Hon. George Drew, leader of the Na- tional Progressive Conservative Party, apparently does not believe in the old adage that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. That is the conclusion one reaches after taking note of his elec- tion tactics in issuing a 16-point program in his opening address of the federal cam- paign. This piece of political strategy recalls the tactics used by Drew in the 1943 pro- vincial general election, and their result. A day or two after that election had been announced by the Hon. Harry Nixon, then Premier of Ontario, Mr. Drew made his opening campaign speech. In it, he an- nounced a 22-point platform, and it was given wide publicity. In doing so, he stole a march on the Liberal government of Ontario, which had made no platform an- . nouncement of any kind. In fact, it was only as a last-minute gesture, after the cause had obviously been lost, that Premier Nixon, in a speech at Timmins, announced a party platform. Mr. Drew has apparently remembered that campaign of ten years ago which re- sulted in him becoming the Premier of Ontario, and has launched his 16-point platform in advance of any government manifesto in the hope that it will bring him the same measure of success as did his 22-paint platform in 1943. There is a tendency on the part of parties in power to feel that they do not need any election platform or manifesto. They seem to think that they can stand on their record and let it go at that. But that does not always prove good politics, especially when they are confronted with a definite program presented to the elec- tors by the chief opposition party. It will be interesting to see whether the Liberal party will make any effort to counteract the effects of the Drew pronouncements by coming back with a manifesto of its own. And recalling that 1948 provincial campaign, we might add that if is to be effective, it will have to come soon if it is to come at all. Pupils Given Safety Reminder Young drivers havé more than their share of accidents. More young children are killed and injured as passengers than ae pedestrians during the summer holi- ' day season. | These two black marks on Ontario's + traffic accident record are the subject of the last school safety lesson of, the year, as the province's 28,000 teachers prepare their 800,000 pupils for school closing. | The teachers are passing on a mes- sage from Hon. George H. Doucett, Minis- ter of Highways, who has been joined by Hon. Dr. W. J. Dunlop, Minigter of Edu- eation, reminding the pupils of the need for safety habits during their holidays. Young drivers, according to the acci- dent figures, as a group have the worst of all driving records. They will be urged by their teachers to become expert driv- ors, and to take no foolish chances either , hemselves by driving or by driving with . yeckless friends in unsafe vehicles. To help drive home the message, the teachers will pass out 142,000 blotters. / The blotters, which show drivers under 18 years of age and between 18 and 24 at the top of the accident list, challenge young drivers to "Know and practise the rules of the road." "The best driving rule is the golden rule," the blotter message states. The grim statistics of the Department 'of Highways also show that too many fond parents and relatives drive too fast with young children standing up or "loose" in their cars. A sudden stop throws the child violently, often with tragic results. For the primary school children, the teachers have a ecdrry-home message. Parents will be asked to repeat during the summer the safety reminders the children have learned at school, to prac- tise safety rules themselves, and to drive more carefully when they have children in their cars. In the parents' message, the Minister of Highays says that parents and grown ups can, prevent many accidents by their own good example and influence. Rowdyism at Summer Resorts Out Mon. Louis Cecile, Ontario Minister of Yravel and Publicity, has decreed thaf riotous conduct at summer resorts will not be tolerated in future, "We are not going to permit peaceful districts to become terrorized by hood- Jums," Mr. Cecile declared. "Disgraceful episodes of drinking and lawlessness have occurred and we are going to crack down." Things have, it seems, cha.iged from the old days when summer resorts, except for the rare, individual binge, were quiet and law-abiding. Now we have individuals and gangs that snatch every opportunity to make nuisances of themselves in every holiday place they visit. The Oshawa district has not suffered Editorial Notes In spite of our desire to see the war in Korea ended, we have a lot of sympathy for the determination of the South Koreans to prevent another outbreak of aggression affecting their country. The really unfortunate thing about this election date is that most people cannot change their holidays even if they wanted to do it.

Nevertheless it is reassuring to know phat Mr. Cecile's department and that of the Attorney-General are combining to put a stop to this sort of rowdyism. Notice of their intentions should suffice to ensure that there will not be any in- ception of such disturbances in this area. Like many authoritative pronounce- ments that voiced by Hon. Mr. Cecile has an encouraging ring to it. If his words are backed up by adequate disciplinary measures the summer resorts areas will be immensely more attractive to tourists. Other Editors'&iews TIMING OF RAINS IMPORTANT (Financial Post) ¥ any safe conclusion can be drawn from crop and weather statistics in Western Canada it is this: More important than the total supply of moisture is the timing of that moisture. A good rain in May and June when the orop is growing is worth a dozen downpours at other seasons. Early in the spring most of the soil in Western Canada was bone dry. Now there is almost enough moisture on hand to carry the crop right through. A Bit of Verse SKY WRITER Between earth and sun the sky-writer! the white writer!

It must be discouraging To ministers to face These empty pews Sunday After Sunday in summer, When only the faithful Few care to attend and Take part in the worship Of the God in whose hands They place their lives Throughout the whole week Religion is not something To be cultivated only For half of the year and Then ignored as if it Did not matter at all, Because it is meant to Be a vital force for Better living throughout The whole twelve months. One cannot help feeling - That the practice of Curtailing church worship Is a sad reflection on The loyalty of Christians To the churches of which They are members, and on The sense of need they feel For divine guidance and Help at all times. This is all a matter Of assessing the values Of the things one wants To do on Sunday in these Months of the summer, and We would suggest that in Making this assessment Nothing is more important Of greater value to Every human soul than The public worship of God.

Two Sides of the Story On Rent Control Problem The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir,--If people were more hon- est, landlords and tenants alike, and many others, in my estima- tion there would be no need for rent control. Take the writer's case of the widow. Her tenants must C are having a cheap bar- gain at the expense of the widow. They should in all decency pay more, especially when they know they are getting more than their money's worth. Her case should be taken to To- ronto and judged on its individual merits. The answer would probably be as usual, "If we do it for one we have to do it for all" as in other departments. No two cases are alike in any walk of life. People in & sheep-like attitude to all things -- follow the leader, right or wrong. The whole coun- try is a fair example, with the cry "Copy the United States" and no originality. to nine and ten dollars. Young ; couples have to pay $60 to $100 a _ month for two rooms. Tenants are buying property for landlords. How # can young couples ever hope to save for their own homes and fu- | ture. One party sent a man away after one week, as she wanted to rent a small room to four people, two in a bed. She was greedy for her $80 a month for one room, and she will probably get it. We are not all factory workers, unionized, insured, hospi " etc. The minority should be studied as well as the majority. The pity - 'of it is we all have to live, or, i should I say of the older people,. exist. i It is a difficult question to de- * cide, and should be governed by : all sides of the question, not by whether you are a GM employee . or otherwise. ! As a case in point, I recently = went to an ear specialist. Before : The other side is that of the ten; being questioned on my visit, I ants. Rooms, tenants and boarders are having to pay exorbitant prices, this being an industrial city. The older people did not have unions, baby bonuses, Blue Cross and other benefits, but worked hard and saved, and the result for same is abject poverty. m- ers are asked five to six dollars a &: man, four in a room, and even up Claims Spies was asked, "Where does your hus- band work?" The irony of it, as I have been a widow for four and - a half years. 4 I sincerely hope that old lady - about whom "your correspondent wrote receives proper advice, and .. what is more important, some help. » PUBLICO. Oshawa, June 20, 1953. Convicted On Flimsy Evidence The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir,--Many honest people, who did not study the case, agree that the Rosenbergs received what they deserved. Certainly, if they were guilty, their fate was desery- x) But Mr. Kelly, who' quotes so correctly many people involved in the case, must have examined the other side ,of the story, that the Rosenbergs were convicted on the flimsiest of circumstantial evid- ence supplied by a self-confessed spy who was willing to say any- thing to save a few years of his miserable life. Even the United States Supreme Court was dividea five to four over this case. Surely; with this close decision; President Eisenhower would have been justified in granting clemency until their guilt or innocence was more firmly established. It would seem that the publicity- conscious: Mr, Kelly wouln sink to 'any level to keep his name before the public. One would hope that when the Rosenbergs are proved innocent, as were Sacco and Van- zetti, that the consciences of the Dean Kellys would bother them, but T am afriad the only thing that would bother them would be that their names would be left out of the paper, or that their sales would drop off. Sincerely, MRS. D. CARRIE. 182 Bloor Street West, Oshawa, June 22, 1958. HOW TO LIVE ST. LOUIS (AP)--A 49-year-old bank teller who earned $265 a month has admitted taking $91.000 during a 20-year period just 'for normal living expenses' for his wife and two children.

Authorities said Jackson's home is a modest one and that he had only one suit of clothes. WRITTLE, England (CP)--Rev. J. 0.
