§ THE DAILY TIMES-GANETTE, Tuesdey, August 35, 1008 Editorials Oshs: 3» published by 'Times-Gaseite Publishers, Limiied. Ontario Traffic Fatalities Reach an Appalling Total The appalling tragedy which took the lives of 20 bus' passengers on Highway No. 2, alongside the Morrisburg canal, coupled with 95 dead in other motor ve- hicle accidents, has set an all-time high record of July traffic deaths in Ontario. This July's preliminary total of 115 was five more than in July of 1952, previously the worst July on record. Thirty drivers, 39 passengers and 21 pedestrians died. There were five addi- tional motor vehicle deaths about which information is not yet complete. the drivers and one passenger were on motorcycles which were in collision with other vehicles. Of the drivers, three were 20 years of age or under, 10 were between 21 and 30, two in their forties, five in their fifties 'and four were 60 years of age or more. Pedestrian deaths mainly involved children or elderly people. There were six boys under the age of nine struck down. Ten pedestrian victims were over 60. Of the 74 motorists killed, either as passengers or drivers, four died at rail- way crossings, 35 were involved in non- dents, and 35 were victims of 'collisions with other vehicles. ! The urgent need for more care while walking or driving becomes increasingly apparent. | Two of Iran Revolt Significant Event The revolt in Iran, in which Premier Mossadegh has been ousted, taken pri- soner and deprived of all authority, may be one of the most significant events which has occurred for some time. While 'the government of Iran has been nomi- nally a democracy, Mossadegh more than once had assumed dictatorial powers. doing so, however, he had to a large extent played into the hands of the Com- munist elements within the nation, and they were on the verge of securing a larger place in the nation's affairs when the eoup which made Mossadegh a fugi- tive was staged with success. Naturally, there is some speculation as to what effect the change in govern- ment in Iran will have on the still un- settled oil controversy between the British and Iran authorities. In this acrimonious dispute, Mossadegh was the thorn jn the flesh. It was he who defied the British government and was responsible for fail- ure to reach an agreement on the future of Iran's oil industry. His attitude has resulted in the impoverishment of his country, but that seemed to cause him little concern so long as he had his own way. Now the anger of his people has caught up with him, and his day of rule is over.- It is quite possible that the new gov- ernment in Iran may take a different view of the oil problem, and will be willing to make some new dgreement with Britain which will make possible resumption of the large-scale oil production which pre- vailed before it was stopped by Mossa- degh. While there is yet no assurance that this will be possible, Britain is hope- ful that it will. From that standpoint, the news from Iran during the next few weeks should be decidedly interesting. In Bicyclists Laugh at the Law The other evening we narrowly escaped being involved in what might have been a fatal accident. We were driving up Church Street when a lad on a bicycle shot out from one of the side streets, ignoring the stop sign completely, and riding a bicycle which had no semblance of a light. Only by very fast application of brakes were we able to avoid hitting him. This is only one phase of the ignoring of the law on the part of bicyclists. There are others just as dangerous. The time will come, no doubt, when exuberant young people will learn that bicycles are not meant as vehicles on which to per- » form tricks. They may sometime realize that # is dangerous to take hands off handlebars, to have another person riding on the handlebars, and to perform the _ figure eight on a travelled street or high- way. Unfortunately that time is a long time coming. There are those who deserve all the healthy fun a bicycle can give; who oan appreciate that life awheel during the summer months is a great, companionable sport to be shared with friends. There are Editorial Notes CCF party leader M. J. Coldwell says that 84 years of public life have shown him that Canadian newspapers are ac- curate and fair. We are grateful for these kind words. Russia claims to have mastered the gecrets of the hydrogen bomb. Learning of its destructive power, the Soviet may be inclined to peace so that it may never be used 'against it. others, unfortunately far too many, in whose hands a bicycle is a lethal weapon. They are the menace, They are the rid- ers, whom motorists, even the reckless ones, fear. : y Bicyclists, like automobile owners, pay a licence fee. They, too, then, should be compelled to conform to the highway code. H they do not, like offending mo- torists, they should be barred from the roads; deprived of their cycles. . Collision with motor vehicles is blamed for four-fifths of the bicycles deaths-- cutting in front of cars, carrying an extra passenger, crossing from one lane to an- other without signalling, riding on the wrong side of the street, riding too far from the curb, riding round and between automobiles, lack of caution at intersec- tions and curves and when entering the street from driveways . . . all these are cited as foolhardy and often fatal prac- tices. . The facts make it clearly evident that most bicycle accidents can be prevented, by greater respect for the law on the part of bicycle riders. . Other Editors' Views NO ABRUPT END TO BOOM (Newsweek Magazine) Discount talk that a Korean cease-fire neces- sarily means an abrupt end to the boom. : The evidence instead suggests that business will re- main at close to its present record levels for the rest of the year at least. A big deflationary spiral still doesn't seem in the cards at this point.

Knox Presbyterian softball * team defeated the AYMC Anglican Pony Express Races Featured The Mad Rush That Led To AP By KINGSLEY BROWN Jr. Canadian Press Staff Writer HALIFAX (CP)--A boulder by a dirt road that leads to the tide- tortured waters of Digby Gut will be unveiled Wednesday at a cere- mony commemorating the pon! express that helped form the world's largest ne Ww s-gatheridg agency. A bronze plaque is attached to the boulder, which once echoed the clatter of horses' hoofs and oaths of competing Hider, one carrying European news for si New, York newspapers and the other for Wall Street speculators. These riders were the link be- tween Halifax and Victoria Beach, on Nova Scotia's northwestern shore The newspapers riders and an almost legendary reporter named Dan Craig did their job so well that they laid the foundation for The Associated Press. This was in 1849, in an era of almost universal newspaper com- petition, when every town had at least two papers and men like James Gordon Bennett were mak- ing journalistic history. The New York Times was only a year old. And Halifax itself was still bask- ing in its hitherto unequalled stan- dard of reporting set by.Joseph Howe, who only 14 years before gained his great Jopal and political victory that helped establish res- ponsible government and freedom of the press in the colonies. Before 1849 the news from Britain; top news for mewspapers, reathed metropolitan papers in the east- ern United States by Cunard ships through Halifax. When the tele- graph was extended by the east- ern seaboard to Saint John, N. B. some newspapers saw that the much shorter Halifax-to-Saint John overland route might be utilized by stock speculators. Market quotations, for instance, could be wired to New York long before the steamers arrived. Be- forehand information could build fortunes or leave a man penniless. It was a powerful weapon, and the speculators never overlooked it. The six New York papers de- cided, in the interests of the public, to make all world news general available. They formed t Hali- fax Express, organized riders to change horses every 12 miles dur- ing the 144 miles from Halifax to Victoria Beach and arranged for paddle steamers to meet the rid- ers and take the dispatches across the Bay of Fundy to Saint John Then they hired Dan Craig, a foxy, highly-respected Boston re- porter, to look after the news on the Halifax end. All this cost an estimated $20,000 yearly. Craig was actually the AP's first foreign correspondent and Halifax its first foreign bureau because the co-operative enterprise later be- came known as The Associated Press. Today AP is operated on a multi-million dollar basis, still a co-operative operated by the news- papers. It serves more than 1,200 daily newspapers and 900 radio stations. The Canadian Press, also a co- gperative, and Reuters are its al- es. For nine months--until the tele- graph lines were extended to Hali- fax--the riders, one string financed by "some mercantile gentleman in the United States," thundered fort- nightly along the lonely roads, stopping only to change mounts, stretch their legs and gulp down a mug of Barbados rum. Their average time for the trip was eight hours, or 18 miles an hour. Once AP's man was knocked un- conscious when his mount threw him at Windsor. When he revived his opposition was miles ahead. For once, it didn't matter. His was the only boat ready for the 43-mile crossing to Saint John. Craig occasionally boarded steamers here and went as far as Boston. He released vital news about 50 miles from his desina- tion--by carrier pigeon--beating a competitor on the same boat. Even after the telegraph came to Halifax, Craig always found a way to get the news to New York first. Once, when a big story was breaking, he kept the wire to him- self by sending chapters of The.. Bible tb New York There is no record in Halifax's libraries or archives of what be- came of Craig. Priests Work In Factories "Preaching" By Example By HAROLD KING PARIS (Reuters)--A unique re- tgious movement being de- veloped in France inside the Ro- man Catholic church may have a far-reaching effect on the social and political attitude of the next working-class generation. * . This movement is that of the "worker priests," officially known as "the mission of Paris." The worker-priests are fully-or- dained priests who work, incognito, as ordinary workmen in factories or other places where a large number. of employees are concen- trated. Their mission is to influence the working class by example and behavior instead of preaching or evangelizing. They do an ordinary day's work in the factory or behind the wheel *-of a transport truck or carrying vegetables or fruit in the Paris market. They live in the very poor quarters of the city or the Com- munist belt of the suburbs. They make friends with the poorest and most abandoned in their district, and they say mass, which an neighbors or local friends are wel- come to attend, on the dining table of their lodgings. The movement started during the German occupation when many priests were taken prisoner and deported for forced labor by the Germans. Thrown into intimate daily as- sociation with other men in un- happy and cruel conditions, some of them returned with a strong feeling that some new approach was needed to get the message of the church to the workers. In March, 1943, in the midst of the German occupation of France, a priest called Father Godin sub- mitted a report to the then Arch- bishop of Paris, Car'inal Suhard, which asserted that in existing cir- cumstances the proletariat "was not ripe to become Christian' and that if by a miracle the entire working class were suddenly con- verted, the existing situation would pot permit it to remain within the church. Sanction was given for a small number of priests to enter the new mission field of worker-priests in Paris and some provincial centres. The movement is still small. To- day, there are 90 worker-priests in France. The 25 working in Paris have all been Jexish priests. The total number priests in France is 51,000 Prisoners Special To Fly Home By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea (CP)--Eleven of 13 Canadian pris- oners returned by the Communists Saturday were moved Sunday to the 38th Canadian Field Ambulance to complete their interrogation and documentation before going home next week-end. The two who did not go, 'L. Cpl. A. A. Deveau of Comeauville, N. S, and Pte. H. H. Brodks of Regina, were taken to Seoul from where they were to fly today to Kure, Japan, for treatment in the Commonwealth General Hospital. . Officers said that next Saturday's Canadian Pacific Airlines flight from Tokyo will be a "prisoners special" with 11 aboard. It is not known when Deveau and Brooks will be fit to fly. Second Lieut. Charles Gordon Owen of Vancouver, the first Cana- dian to be retfirned from an enemy prisqgner of war camp Saturday, received Sunday over army signals an answer from his wife, Marilyn, to whom he had sent love from Britannia Camp Saturday.

A large number of ple have dis- continued this mode of travel dur- ing the past two weeks and have reverted to use of car and cycle. But this comes as no surprise for it had been earlier predicted such would be the case if the then Proposed increase went into effect. 'o my mind a cheaper rate for the daily commuter and workmen is the only solution to this vexatious situation. JAS. MYLES.

QUEEN'S PARK U.S. Domination In Truck Strike? By DON O'HEARN Special Corerspondent for The Times-Gazette TORONTO--Will there be a statement from here against U, 8. domination in the trucking strike? Observers have been looking for something of this nature from either the premier or Attorney- General Porter as the strike has progressed. To date i hasn't been forth. coming. There have been relatively strong statements but no direct criticism of strike leadership. It could come at any time, how- ever. There has been increasing concern at the tenor and methods of the strike and resentment at the leadership which is imposing There is a double reason for not directly interfering. One is the natural reluctance to take a hand in the internal affairs of labor-- trade unionists generally would re- sent it, no matter how strongly justified. The second is the fact that negotiations on the strike are continuing and the government is hopeful Labor Minister Daley will be able to effect a settlement. Criticism of the leaders who are handling the negotiations as well as directing the strike wouldn't be helpful here. FAR-REACHING The presence of the U. 8. men at the helm of the strike, however, is going to have far-reaching ef fects, As has been mentioned here be- U. 8. domination of our labor unions to a crux. Iti s forcing both government and Canadian trade unionists to look squarely at this issue. Their lack of either knowledge or respect for our laws and insti. tutions has brought the greatest challenge to them in recent years and in turn has forced government to face the fact that they have to be upheld, whether the rank and file of labor is. offended or not. Finally it is adding another touch of rot to already-deteriorat- U. S.-Canadian relationships. he dispute could be as import- ant in our labor and government history as the Oshawa strike in the thirties. ' WILL COME The government and the public haven't realized this from the start. They in the first instance were inclined to look on the walk-out as just another union dispute. However this attitude has changed rbticeably in recent days. There has been considerable comment in the press on the aspect of the U. S. leadership, and slow recognition that it is the core of a dispute which is much broader than it at first looked. There is still the natural diffi dence about placing the responsib- ility squarely--which there would- n't be in the U. S. where a more blunt approach prevails--but inev- itably, it would seem, this will come and the issue will be joined. Out of it, as with the Oshawa strike, could evolve a major turn- fore, it is bringing the question of ing-point for labor. MAC'S MUSINGS Day by day as we read The news of the world We realize more and more How very little there is Of peace on earth, and it Becomes very difficult To go quietly "about the Normal business of each Passing day without a Feeling akin to despair As to what the future is Going to hold for us. There is no peace so far As the "affairs of our Troubled world are Concerned, yet it. is Always possible to have Peace within one's own Mind and soul, and to keep A sane outlook on all That is going on in many Far-flung countries. There is a peace of God That passeth understanding, That is available for all Who want to have it, Even in the midst of a World strifé'ridden. Everyone who is truly Seeking that peace of Mind and soul can Find it by entrusting His way of life into the Hands of the one great Prince of Peace, and Living so that life is A blessing rather than A burden, and so that The cares of the world Can be shuffled off, and Divine Peace substituted For worldly worries.
