@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, July W, 30S Editorials The Daily Times-Gasette (Oshawa, Whitby), shed by Times 0 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshaws, Ontario Electors Responsible For Seeing Names Are on List Enumeration for the compilation of voters' lists to be used in the August 10 federal election has been completed, and copies of these lists have been posted around the city. They. are posted, usually on telegraph or telephone poles at stra- tegic street corners, and they are placed . there for a specific purpose. : The importance of these lists lies in the fact that only those whose names ap- pear on them can cast their ballots on election day. And it is the responsibility of each individual voter to see that his or her name is on the list. The enumerators are, after all, only human, and it is quite possible for names to be inadvertently left off their lists. It is also possible that many people have not been at home when the enumerators called, and their names will be omitted. This opens up possibili- ties that many of our citizens may go to the polls on August 10 to find that they have no vote, because their names are not listed. Some Comments on Rental Controls £5 The Belleville Ontario Intelligencer has been paying keen attention to the con- troversy which has been raging in Osh- awa regarding rent controls. In a recent editorial, it quotes a "Letter to the Edi- tor" which appeared in The Times- Gazette, and goes on to comment on the writer's views. Mentioning the compar- ison drawn between the law of supply and demand operating in the case of strawberries, while it was not allowed to operate in house rentals, -the Belleville paper says: "Tt is quite possible for a man and his family to exist--and even to enjoy life--without pay- ing the price for strawberries fixed by the law of supply and demand. Unfortunately, it is not so simple to live without a house, The supply of strawberries was not seriously re- duced by the war. That of houses was. No self- respecting government could have permitted some landlords to profiteer as a result of the housing shortage. There was nothing false, in those days, about the premise that a landlord should not be permitted to charge as much as It is for the purpose of allowing electors to make sure that their names are on the list that these documents are posted on poles to be inspected. True, this is not an ideal method, as the lists are exposed to all the vagaries of wind and weather, but it is the plan adopted. It is the duty . of all electors, therefore, to stop and check the lists, and, if their names are missing, to take steps to have them added at the court of revision, to be held in about ten days time. A call to the com- mittee rooms of any of the election can- didates will set the machinery in motion to have that done. In fact, the committee room staffs will be glad to check the lists for names as a service to electors who have been unable to locate the poles on which the lists are posted. The important thing, however, is to make sure to check the list and see that one's name is there, because when elec- tion day comes, no name on the list means no vote. the law of supply and demand would make possible. "But what was not false at the war's end may very well be false today. We suspect it is, A realistic appraisal of the situation might lead a competent judge to the conclusion that a continuation of rent controls ie doing more to perpetuate than to solve the housing probe lem. "Merely lifting the controls is not the ane swer. Many people are paying as much rent as they can afford. Some readjustment" of building costs appears imperative. But if we oould reduce building costs and then weather the initial storm which the end of rental con- trols would bring, we might find that lifting the controls would éventually result in lower, rather than higher, rents, by encouraging the construction of rental accommodation, .there- by increasing the supply and lessening the demand." There is a great deal of merit in what the Ontario Intelligencer has to say, and it is worthy of reproduction here because of its application to the problem which now exists in Oshawa. Examination Results Delay With the close of the school year, and the ending of the departmental examina- tions required of pupils in the top grades of secondary schools, complaint is again being heard regarding the time taken before the results of these examinations are made public. The examinations are over well before the end of June, but normally the results are not made known until the middle of August. Those who contend that the results should be available at 'an earlier date argue that it is important for the students to. know where they stand as soon as pos- sible, because many of them have to make arrangements for their future university courses. The examination standing of pupils has, it is claimed, some bearing on the course to be taken, and, in some cases, even on the university to be at- tended, Until the examination standing is known, arrangements can not be made with any degree of certainty. Editorial Notes Engineers claim they ean straighten the leaning tower of Pisa. But i will not be done so long as Italians have a yearn- ing for tourist dollars. Motorized lawn-mowers used on city property are not all that they could be. They lack seats for the operators, who still have to walk.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JUNE Ontario, M8 It has to be borne in mind, of course, that the marking of examination papers is an exacting task, one which requires a degree of judgment which comes only with experience. It is not something that can be rushed through on a mass pro- duction basis. Each paper is an individual product, to be judged individually. At one time, upper school or Grade XIII results were not issued until nearly the end of August. Some years ago a wide- spread agitation led the Department of Education to cut approximately two weeks off the waiting time. That earlier announcement of results is desirable is obvious. The question is whether the thing can be done. In other words, can a sufficient number of com- petent additional examiners be recruited to speed the work? It should at least be worth while to make an effort in that di- rection. Other Editors' Views MUSICAL CHAIRS IN PARIS (New York" Times) The temptation to impatience and irritation over the continued French political crisis is too great to resist, The French cannot say that it is none of our business because it is the concern of the whole free world. No outsider is entitled to say who should be French Premier, but everyone has a right to point out that at this juncture in world affairs with a crucial Big Three conference pending neither France nor the democratic West can afford the luxury of such a long-drawnout political crisis.

Jury for the Nobel Peace Prize felt the same way, as no award was given in 1952. Of the few names which register most in the public mind, one in ten name Sir Winston Churchill, Half this number name Eisenhow- er. Four in a hundred suggest the Pope, and almost as many name a man on the other side of the world -- Nehru. Eleanor Roosevelt is the only woman to make the top tem -- named by two in a hundred. Question put to the public by trained interviewers for the Gal- lup Poll was this: "Every year, as you know, a peace prize is given to the man or woman in the world who has contributed most to peace. Think- ing back over the past year, who do you think deserves this award?" Answers range from the senti- mental vote for "the mothers of the world" to the cynic who said "Only a pacifist would work for peace, and there are none among our prominent leaders." Thinking across the country was pretty much the same except for some strong differences of opin- ion between the province of Que- bec and the remaining provinces. As the following contrast will show, Sir Winston for instance is not as popular in Quebec as in other parts of Canada: National (Ex Quebec), Quebec, respectively: Churchill, 18 per cept; 3 per cent. Eisenhower, § per cent. Nehru, 4 per cent; Eleanor velt, 1 per cent. Lester B. Pearson, 1 per cent. The Pope, 2 per cent; 9 per cent. Member of Royal Family, 1 per cent; 1 per cent. St. Laurent, * ; 8 per cent. Nobody, 1 per cent; 1 per cent. Dot BA, 80 per cent; 65 per cent. Miscellaneous, 9 per cent; 9 per 2 per cent. 3 per cent; 3 per oent; ent; 100 percent. le, men have more definite opinions on the subject than women but their heroes in promoting peace are mjch the same. Younger Canadians are more inel to name Eisenhower and the Hon. Lester B. Pearson than those who are 50 and over. On the other hand, Churchill has more admirers as a worker for Peace among older people. Said one citizen, 'Stalin -- be- cause he died'. Said another 'My father". High on the miscellaneous list were Truman and Trygve Lie. Among those who suggested a member of the Royal Family, the Queen received the majority of vi People named as workers for Peace, represent an infinite assort- ment. Among other Canadians mentioned were George Drew, Maurice Duplessis, Hugh LaPointe, Dr. Endicott, the Hon. C. D. Howe, Stanley Knowles, General Me- Naughton, and Kate Aitken. Last person to win the Nobel Peace Award was Dr. Ralph Bunche, the American credited with settl the Arab - Israel dispute in 1951. OTTAWA REPORT British Again Top Immigrants By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- England has once again become Canada's major source of immigrants, after five unbroken years during which Ger- many, Poland, Italy and the Neth- erlands have one or more provided greater numbers of settlers. Latest figures, issued by the de- partment of immigration show that new Canadians arriving from Eng- land just nudge out those from Ger- many by a scant 400 persons dur- ing the first part of this year. Dutch immigrants ranked third in that period. There are not appreciably more English settlers arriving this year, but there has been a sharp slum in the number of immigrants ad- mitted from other countries. The over-all declines is 27 per cent compared to 1952, and immigration last year was 15 per cent less than in the year before. Adding Scots, Welsh and Irish to the English total, the composite immigration from the British Isles (is it Irish to include Eire in "the British Isles"'?) has outstripped that from each other country in the post-war period. But it has formed a progressively smaller proportion of the total each year since 1946, until this year's modest upturn. i NEW ETHNIC STRUCTURE Before the war, Canadians of British origin made up just over 50 per cent of the total population. In 1946, 72 per cent of our im- migrants came from the British Isles. Year by year that Defventage slumped to 57, to 32, to 22, to 18 to 17 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1952. Then came the upturn, and in this last fiscal year per cent of our imniigrants came from the British Isles. Total immigration this year is unlikely to reach last year's shrunken total of 164,498. And this new 1953 level is about where immigration Minister Harris hopes to stabilize the annual total. In a recent speech he said that Canada's population could afford to grow by about 400.000 each year now. The natural increase, or ex- cess of births over deaths in Can- ada, is running slightly aver 250,- 000. So Mr. Harris expects us to welcome around 150,000 immigrants each year. BIG DOMESTIC MARKET An inconclusive argument con- tinually revolves around the ques- tion of how Jiany immigrants this country could and should absorb each year. There can be no doubt that Can- ada would be much more depres- sion-proof if we had a larger pop- ulation to form a bigger domestic market. At present we have to sell our surpluses to people living in other countries, and these exports depend upon those other countries being able to spend dollars to buy our goods. The trade picture would be simpler and sounder if those customers could come to live in Canada. But increased immigration would have to be part of a large scale plan including building new homes and even new communities to house those immigrants and creating new jobs for them to work at. In 1913 immigration reached an all-time -peak 400,870. Remem- bering Canada's smaller population then, that was equivalent to about 800,000 immigrants arriving this year, . Such a flood of immigrants would entail building three new Van- couvers, five Quebec Cities or thirty Moose Jaws each year. It seems impossible, but that is what cent; § per ® MAC'S MUSINGS There is nothing that can Destroy the even tenor Of life's way than having Around a person who is Constantly in a bad Humor and keeps all Others in a state of Nervous tension because They can never tell how The bad humor is going To break out and visit Itself on their heads. A person who is known To be addicted to bad Humor outbreaks becomes A lonely individual, Because no one wants to Be around where he is, So he suffers more whom His unpleasant tendency Than do those of whom He vents his spleen. The word soon gets around Regarding a person who Is afflicted with being Frequently in bad humor, 80 people shun him as They. shun the plague, And if they have to be In his company they have As little as possible To do with him or say To him, lest they become The unwilling victims Of his outbursts.

QUEEN'S PARK Pollution Problem Will Be Aired By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO---A lot of dirt will be i the air at Brantford on August What could turn out to be a momentous conference will discuss pollution in the Grand river. Officials of the provinces and of the many municipalities affected by the Grand--which means within smelling distance--will discuss the contamination of the river. LONG DUE Health Minister Dr. Mackinnon Phillips will lead the provincial delegation. In one sense you could say he is going into the lion's den. There is inevitably bound to be criticism of the province for not having done something about puri- fying the Grand. But the health minister won't look at it that way. H will rather be a doctor going to his patient to see if he can cure him. The Grand river mess has been a bad odor in the province for years. Suc ce s sive governments" have sheered away from it. Credit goes, to Dr. Phillips--with an assist to Ray Myers, MPP for Waterloo South--for facing it. FIRST STEP The conference could be import- ant aside from any direct results on the Grand. There is no doubt pollution is one of the major prob- lems of today. And this meeting is the first public discussion the government has entered into on it. Just in the past few days beaches in the St. Catharines area have been posted as contaminated. There has been wide publicity over pol- lution in Hamilton bay. There prob- ably isn't an area in the provinces that isn't touched by the problem. And so the Brantford conference has much more than Jocal signif cance. ! NEW POLICY There even has been speculation that a new government policy may come out of the meeting. For some time now Dr. Phillips has had a report of the committee of government officials which was set up a year ago to study pol- lution. The health minister hasn't re- leased the eport, not having been able to get it before the cabinet yet. But there has been some in- timation that on of its recommen- dations is cash assistance towards sewage works. ACTION NEEDED This is definitely only a rumor. And even if true the recommenda- tion doesn't mean the assistance: would be granted. The government wouldn't have to . But the situation is getting to the critical stage where some new gov- ernmen action is called for. And this Brantford conference will be watched closely for signs of this.
