The work of manning the clinic with all but the expert staff who travel with it, is the responsibility of the Oshawa Branch of the Society, which has willingly undertaken this duty, knowing its importance and the great need for it. On the shoulders of Oshawa citizens gen- erally, however, falls the responsibility of volunteering to donate the blood which is urgently required by the Red Cross blood bank. The blood which is made available to the Red Cross Society forms an im- portant part of the essential protection required by the armed services, and to be stored for the needs of civil defence in time of emergency. Just as the use of blood plasma on the field of battle saved the lives of thousands of Canadians in the Second World War, so in the Korean war, although, of course, on a smaller scale, the blood supplied to the Red Cross by Canadian citizens has been a lifesaving factor for many of our wound- ed men. So long as the world remains in a state of turmoil, with war threats hovering around, a state of preparedness must be maintained. That preparedness includes the maintenance of a large sup- ply of blood plasma, made possible through the blood donations of Canadian citizens. ' On past occasions when the Mobile Blood Clinic has visited Oshawa, there has been an excellent response from our citizens to the appeal for blood, donors. That appeal is again made for the clinic to be held here on Wednesday. Those who are registered as donors are urged to be on hand to make their donations, and the Red Cross Society will welcome a call from any new volunteers who wish to join the list of those desiring to make this contribution to their country's pre- paredness for emergency. 'Writing Letters To The Editor That the man who takes the trouble to write a letter to the editor can help to make a newspaper more valuable and serviceable to its community is indicated by Sydney J. Harris, writing recently for the Chicago Daily News, Mr. Harris says: "A newspaper is tremendously sensi- tive to the needs and reactions of its readers. Editors hunt down errors of fact as ruthlessly as a housewife goes after ants in the pantry. No adjective is more damaging to a reporter than to be called 'inaccurate.' "The public, by far and large is not aware of its power or its responsibilities. It either meekly accepts or hotly resents what a paper prints--but never thinks that editors and publishers are eager to get the response of readers, to correct mistatements, and to improve the quality of the product. "A few dozen eool, intelligent letters on a contreversial topic would seem like a tidal wave to an editor. "A newspaper goes out into the great void every day, and unless some kind of echo comes back, an editor cannot be sure he is doing his job. "In a democratic society, the public has a responsibility to make its wishes felt; it has a right to treat its local newspaper as an integral part of the community and to insist that the facts be straight and the opinions honest." Such letters, we may add are, even in these days when newsprint is scarce, a much more prominent feature .in the newspaper of the United Kingdom than in those on this side of the Atlantic. There, by reason of long tradition, the public sees in the newspaper, not merely a purveyor of factual information and opinion, but a forum for fair and free dis- cussion of all manner of public issues of interest to the 'community. Duke Is Keenly Interested In Science Keen interest has been aroused by the announcement from Buckingham Palace that the Duke of Edinburgh intends to -visit Canada next summer. There is in- terest, particularly, im the purpose be- hind his visit. It is stated that he in- tends to attend the British Empire Games in Vancouver, but that seems like a sec- ondary reason. His real purpose is $o look over the industrial development in Canada's northland. : It would appear from this that there are no diplomatic reasons for the Duke coming to Canada, but that he will be doing something .that he himself decided to do. During the visit made to Canada in 1951, he was able to see but a glimpse of the vast potentialities of Canada's re- sources and industry. Now he wants a closer look. He wants to see the great aluminum plants of British Columbia and the uranium mining villages in the North- west Territories. He wants to see the places and plants where the forces of sci- ence are translating natural resources in- Editorial Notes The office pessimist comes up with the crack that most of the speeding is done by people who have the least use for the time they might save, The Daily Times-Gazette (OSHAWA-WHITBY) > The Daily Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) combining The Oshawa Times( established 1871) and the Whitby & Chronicl ) is C and y holidays y= Member of The Canadian Press, the Canadian Dally Newspapers Association and the Ontario: Provincial Dailies Association and the Audit Bureau of Circulation.

The Duke of Edinburgh, in 1951, when addressing the British Association for the Advancement of Science, surprised his hearers by his profound knowledge of scientific subjects. It was obvious that he had given them considerable study, and was keenly interested in what science had to offer to the people of the world. That same interest in what science can do for mankind is doubtless behind his coming visit to Canada. This visit of next summer will be dif- ferent from that which he made in 1951 along with the Princess Elizabeth, as she was then. There will be little of social function in the time he will spend here. He will be on serious business, that of acquainting himself more fully and at first hand with the development of Can- DIDN'T 1 HEAR wou SAY COLD WAR"?

A survey by the American In- stitute of Public Opinion finds that 50 per cent of those who have fol- lowed the controversy over freer trade with other countries believe that U.S. tariffs should be lowered to promote more trade. About one out of every five in- formed votexs..or 21 per cent, hold the opposite view, while another 19 per cent feel that present tariffs should be kept, with 10 per cent undecided. The survey .figures represent a dramatic change in thinking on the tariff issue among informed Amer- icans, a majority of, whom today accept the fact that America must: import if it is to export. Each person in the survey was asked: '""'Some people say that our pres- ent 'tariffs should be increased. Of Other Yes that - the U.S. should 'establish freer trade with other contries by lowering tariffs. Have you heard or read anything about this?" Yes No ER The next question: "By and large, do you favor higher or lower tariffs than we have at present?" Here is the vote of the. informed group: Higher tariffs JOWEr:. .iii..xiovinn: 50 Same as now No opinion 100 The principal reasons given by voters for favoring lower tariffs were that they would promote freer and more trade, they would man lower prices, and they would eliminate the need for American dollar aid to foreign countries. Those in favor of higher tariffs said they were necessary to pre- vent unfair competition with U.S. industry, or to protect U.S. wages and working conditions, or to ex- clude certain products that should not come into this country.

OTTAWA REPORT - Births Exceeding Immigration By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- "Immigration into Canada at the rate prevailing since 1951, coupled with the natural in- crease of our population, will boost our population by 25 per cent in the next 10 years." This statement was made by W. A. McFaul, a superintendent of the federal department of immi- gration, in a speech delivered to a joint meeting of the settlement ada's great natural resources:-.And_this;-- Society and board of trade of Que- we feel sure, will help him to carry out with greater significance his role of con- sort to our beloved Queen. Other Editors' Views AGRICULTURE IN INFANCY (Lethbridge Herald) The fact is that Alberta's agriculture has barely been scratched. As i is, even under extensive farming which is wsateful of land, we can produce much more than we can find a domestic market for. But some day Alberta may be the home of millions instead of the one million we now boast. When that day comes our soil will come into full fruition. oe 4 Bit o Verse THIS COOL CONTENT 3 This cool content is softer than the down Upon the ripened thistle flower and wears The same deceptive silken crown Of purple buds above thin thistle 'hairs, - Yet have I stroked the thistle thorn, Shielded the bristling in my heart With smooth soothsayings born Of the need to couch with,epigrams the neenica dart, These feathered phrases, brief as breath, Puffed into a velvet panoply of wit, rbor a cool content beneath A facile alphabet, --fyah Tumarkin Goodman bec's Eastern Townships last week. Coming from -that department which favors a policy of non-im- migration, that claims sounds rather like an immigration official spitting into the Niagara river and then boasting that his expectora- tion coupled with the natural flow of the river, created the avalariche of 200,000 cubic feet of water thun- dering over the famous falls every second. I wonder what Health Minister Paul Martin thinks about this wild claim by the immigration depart- ment? For it the better medical care fostered by his activities which has boosted our birth rate and reduced our death rate to the point where our natural increase in population--namely the excess of births over deaths--is today raising our population twice as fast as immigration is. 15 MILLION MILEPOST In fact when our population passes the 15,000,000-mark, which statisticians here estimate will hap- pen one day next January, we should pause to ponder this amaz- ing fact: That births this year for the first time |exceed the rec- ord annual immigration total of 400.870 achieved in 1913. The three years immediately be- fore the outbreak of World War One were the heydays of migra- tion into Canada. In those three busy years, the wave of 1,100,000 settlers brought one new Cenadian for every seyen already in the country, The period since the end of the last 'war is already nearly three times as long as those Years of the Open Door; but still we have had fewer immigrants in this per- iod than in thoge short three years, although our country is now more prenared to receive settlers. If we how permitted immigra- tion to swell to that 1911-1913 scale «our population would reach 100,000,- A Rate 000 by the end of this century. But at the present rate it barely cap 35,000,000. Politics, it has been said, are the curse of government. Our illib- eral immigration policy is not de- signed to benefit the country econ- omically but to create as few, ene- mies as possible for the govern- ment. WHO OPPOSES MIGRANTS Organized labour fears that a tidal wave of immigration would depress wages; the government fears a housing crisis; Quebec fears: that most immigrants would become English-speaking and les- sen the strength of the French- Canadian bloc; the Catholic Church fears accelerated industrialization.

The Man of Galilee once Told of a man out Of whom a demon Had been cast but Since no good was put Into his life, five Demons came back and Took up residence 'in it So that his last state Was worse than his first.

Mr. McFaul said, in his speech quoted above, that only -six out of 10 post-war immigrants have been workers: the balance have been dependents. But all of them have heen con- sumers, and it is consumers which Canada needs today. to eat their way through our huge surplus pro- duction of foods and to consume their way through the production of tomorrow's plants.

QUEEN'S PARK Lack of Berries Blamed For Bears TORONTO---Bears! A lot is heard about them this year, One dropped dead in a school yard in Port Arthur. There was a bear hunt in an Ottawa suburb last week. . . residents were trying t catch up with a bruin, complete with family, that had been roam ing the district. From other points there have been stories of bears dropping into back-yards or break- ing into cottages and making with the edibles. But nothing to be alarmed about. according to lands and forests offi- cials. Mainly, it's a poor berry sea- son. The dry weather meant fewer berries and the bruins have had to roam from their normal feeding grounds--something they don't do if there are berries aplenty. Along with this there is some in- crease in the bear population. Quite normal, apparently, in line with the cycle which sees the num- bers grow and then decline in ac- cordance with nature's house- keeping methods. So don't be concerned. If a bear drops by for breakfast tomorrow at least you know why--it's the berries. AURORA FURORA . Aurora's on the horizon again. The periodic call for secession has come out of the northwest again. And papers in the south have widely reported the move- ment for & separate province of "Aurora". One thing about this call. It comes as usual.frem Fort William. And this time, as hefore, the pitch-pipe was sounded by a fa- miliar name: Alderman Limbrick. Our feeling is that Mr. Limbrick causes too much furora ,over his Aurora. At one time you could raise quite a sweat at the lake- head in a secession discussion. But not now. . . at least not in our experience, Responsible elements still would like to see more attention paid to their area. . . and they have sound arguments. But they discount the idea of going it alone. And they grant that so far as attention from the government is concerned they are in much better shape than they were -only a few years ago. PUBLIC GAS Coincidental with an ad of Con- sumers Gas in Toronto papers put- ting pressure on the federal and provincial governments, there was a statement by J. B. Salsberg, the MPP and Communist. Joe was declaring that the gas line from the west should be a public utility. That the govern- ments should construct it and sell gas at cost. We don't know, Joe. But at least we were much more recep- tive to your suggestion after read- ing the Consumers ad, together with a report that Union Gas was" dickering for a huge increase in its import contract for Texas gas. No cracks at the company fel- lows. They are doing their job the only way they can. But if it is decided to be in the national and provincial interest that we should have Canadian gas there also, we 'opine, couldn't be much room for complaint if the companies were taken over by the government. It would be doing its job, serving the first interest of the people, in the only way it could. SHIRLEY W.I Holds Its October Meeting H. B.
