. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, November 9, 1958 Editorials The Dally Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby), hed by Ti $7 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Pedlar People's Booklet Tells Fascinating Story We are grateful for a copy just re- ceived of a splendid booklet, beautifully printed and bound, published by the Pedlar People, Limited, to tell the story of that Oshawa industry and its contri- bution to Canadian community life. First of all, the booklet was welcomed because it is a fine example of the printers' art, handsome in its binding, beautiful in its typograph, and finely illustrated. Who- ever was responsible for its conception and execution is indeed to be congratu- lated. Further than that, however, the book- let is well worth while because of the story it tells of an industry which started from a small beginning and grew to major proportions because of the service rend- ered to the public and the satisfaction given to customers. The story goes back to the day when Henry Pedlar and his family, migrating from England, arrived at Skea's Corners, as the Oshawa of that day was known. It tells how the business started in 1861 in the back part of Henry Pedlar's store at the corner of Bond and Simcoe Streets, and engaged in the manufacture of kit- chen utensils, From then on the story is one of progress and development, and through it all shines the enterprise, the foresight and initiative of George H. Pedlar, who up to the time of his death in 1918 was the guiding genius of the company. To Oshawa people, the story is of in- terest, because it is part of the history of the community, and it is the story of men who made a great contribution to the in- dustrial city that it is to day. As is nat- ural, personalities enter into it; and the part played in the Pedlar People story by W. R. Geikie, the present Chairman of the Board and John G. Geikie, the present president, and by others who have been associated with its success, forms an im- portant chapter. We congratulate the Pedlar People, Limited, for a fine publication, and par- ticularly for the recording for posterity of an important part of the industrial story of Oshawa: May Be Last Big Hydro Project It may be that the power development on the St. Lawrence River, for which President Eisenhower has now given the green light to New York State, will be the last major hydro-electric power pro- ject which the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission will be engaged. This project is, at the moment, vitally essen- tial to take care of Ontario's power needs four or five years from now. But by the time # is completed, and its power out- put absorbed into consumption, other types of power sources may be right on the horizon. Work is going on steadily in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, aiming at the development of atomic energy for power purposes. It is expected that in a matter of a very few years, this new type of power will have been made available at costs which will compare favourably with those of hydro- electric energy. Canadian seientists at the Chalk River atomic energy plant are making good headway im this direction, Britain is now engaged in building a plant to produce electricity from atomic power. Now comes an interesting bit of news along this line from the president of the General Electric Company in the United States. Speaking at the 76th anniver- sary celebration of the company, he pre- dicted atom power for the United States within five years. He has recommended to the Atomic Energy Commission that General Electric proceed at once with the development and design, followed by the construction and operation, within five years, of a dual purpose reactor at the company's plant at Hanford, Washington. This plant, he suggested, will produce large quantities of both plutonium and electric power. "We will be doing our part," he said, "to speed up the already rapid approach of the day when atomic fuel will power single-purpose electric plants." When that day comes, hydro-electric power will be outdated and be relegated to the horse-and-buggy days, and the search for further water sources of elec- trical energy will come to an end. Three A Day Die On Highways Motor vehicle accidents im Ontario during September took 99 lives, or more than three per day, according to prelim: inary figures. This was two more than the September, 1952, total of 97, and eight fewer than the same month in 1951, when 107 were killed in road accidents. The new school year began on an en- couraging note, with no fatalities re- ported among pedestrians over the age of six or under 20, although two bicyclists, one 14 and one six years old were killed in collisions. In the pre-school-age group 14 children were victims of pedestrian accidents and five were killed while passengers in motor vehicles. In addition to the young pedestrian victims, there were 17 other pedestrians killed, ten of whom were over 60 years of age, Editorial Notes Two extra cheese sandwiches a week, eaten by each Canadian, would use up all our cheese surplus. And the price would be a lot better than the 25% cents a pound paid by Britain. - The Daily Times-Gazette Published By TIMES-GAZETTE PUBLISHERS LIMITED 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa I'ne Daily lmes-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby) co: Qsiawa Times( established 1871) and the oni " ) 1 mbining Whitby G, daily (® and y y » of The C.

Nearly eight out of every 10 voters (79 per cent) questioned in the latest survey by the Institute think a meeting of the 'Big 4" + Eisenhower, Churchill, Laniel and Malenkov --is worthy trying. On the other hand, one out of every eight voters (12 per cent) thinks such a meeting would be a waste of time. Interviewers for the Institute put the following question to a re- presentative cross-section of vot- ers across the county: "Would you favor of oppose a meeting between Eisenhower, Churchill, Laniel and Malenkov to try to settle world differences?' The vote today: No opinion 9 100 Over a period of the last three years, Institute surveys have shown the public increasingly in favor of the idea. In October, 1950, 58 per cent thought a meet- ing between President Truman and Marshal. Stalin was worth a try. In December, 1951, 70 per cent voted in favor of the idea of Tru- man, Churchill and Stalin getting together to discuss world prob- lems. Following the change of regime in Moscow early this year, an April survey found 78 per cent in favour of a 'Big 3" meeting of Fisenhower, Churchill and Malen- ov. Russia's U.N. delegate, 'Andrei Vishinksy, sald recently in New York that he saw no need for the Soviet government to give an evi- dences of good faith before a top- level conference was held. The leading advocate of highest level talks with Moscow has been Britain's Prime Minister Church- ill, but last week he cautioned . against expecting too much from such a meeting. World Copyright Reserved PARIS LETTER Frenchman IsFamily Man, Especially On Sundays BY FRANCES KNECHT PARIS, France -- As I drove through the Bois de Boulogne last Sunday morning, I could not help but be amused by the number of cars parked by the little streams and ponds in the alleys and lanes, their owners, sleeves rolled up, giving them their weekly wash. The cars were all sizes and shapes. The children, too, were there, running backwards and for- wards, with buckets of water to help daddy. ; This is a practical example of the Frenchman, who looks after the children, takes exercises in the fresh air and lovely surroundings of the Bois and cleans his car ready for the afternoon run -- all this while mother prepares lunch. Sunday is the maid's day off -- Where there's one -- so it is a case of all hands to the wheel. The big nea 18 usually at one o'clock, lasting least two hours. Another common sight, after the morning "mess", is to see the men invade the cake shops and carry home large boxes of tarts, then call for their dish of oysters -- the dish was left on the way to church --and finally visit a flower shop for the Sunday bouquet. Possibly a loaf of bread a yard long, will 'complete the purchases. No one finds it funny to see a smartly- dressed man looking like some- thing between Father Christmas and a sandwich man. On Sunday the Parisian is the complete family man. In most cases, poor and rich alike, the whole family gets together -- in- laws, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. All the .main thor- oughfares are crowded with strol- lers from three o'clock in the af- ternoon onwards, with family groups of as many as 15 or 20. The aspect of the Bois is now very different from that of the morning. Crowds surge from every direction, on foot, by car or by the under- ground (Matro). The garden cafes are crowded. There are picnics everywhere, with children and grown-ups playing' together and boating on the lakes until dark. Sunday is a day of rest for the Parisian, The evening -is usually spent in a cinema or theatre. It is even more difficult to book a theatre seat for Sunday than for Saturday, for instance and cinema queues seem endless. The more socially-minded classes arrange lit'!a bridge parties, usually start- ing at six o'clock and ending some- where between midnight and two .m. Bridge is a favorite pastime and it is quuite a problem for the hos- tess to put the same standard of bridge players together. It is all arranged beforehand at which table everyone will be placed. Al- though punctuality is not one of the French virtues, bridge players are rather exact on time. The game is interrunted at about 8.30 p.m. for a cold supper, served in "buffet" style, with the guests more or less helping themselves with plenty of wine to drink A favorite sport for the teen- agers is skating. There is an ice rink on our street and it is open the whole of Sunday until mid- night, The youngsters come from all parts of Paris, on motoreycles, bicycles or by Metro and are ex- traordinarily enthusiastic. Some PS A 4 MAC'S MUSINGS Our forbears through Many centuries lived in A God-centred age, and Generation after generation Mans best thought was Given to the study of Theology, so that there Were times in past history When men on the street Knew more about the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity that do most College graduates today, And many wars were fought Over theological questions.

The big sporting events usually take place on Sunday, such as football matches and cycling races. Despite this hectic way of spend- ing Sunday, the French are a de- vout and basically religious people, with an incomparable family in- stinet -- shisfly the family man and he especially on Sundays.

QUEEN'S PARK Government Going After Industries By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette TORONTO---The government is going out after new industry for the province in a big way. In addition to the trade and in- dustry offices here and at Ontario House in London a new branch was established at Chicago a few weeks ago and a representative was ap- pointed in New York. Now Plan-- ning Minister Bill Warrender is in Europe and there is a strong chance an office will be opened in Germany. AGGRESSIVE BRANCH This little-publicized work is one of the most progressive things the government here is doing. Ontario is the only province to have a trade office in the U.S., for instance. And the same enterpris- ing spirit that brought about the opening of the Chicago branch has marked the whole operation of the trade and industry division under Mr. Warrender and director F. J. "Pat" Lyle. HOT PROSPECTS The Chicago office has only been in actual operation for about four months but already it has more than 100 good prospects on its books and a dozen of these that are "hot" --industries that definitely will be locating in Ontario. One of these is a two million dollar plant; others are smaller but all will be valuable additions to the communities in which they locate. + MANY QUERIES The department's policy isn't to do any "door-knocking' but aside from this it goes after any industry that may be locating in the prov- ince and attempt to give every help possible. Prospects come from banks, railways, bond houses and other institutions that are close to in- dustry and know in advance of proposed changes. Others, of course come directly to the department. The types of se: wide and varied field. One manufacturer will want to know his potential market. An- other a survey of his competition. Another. the availability of sup- plies. Others--or practically all-- advice on locations. > PLAYS FAIR The 'department has one delicate problem, It has to be fair to all communities in the province and not build one up at the expense of others. To do this it tries wherever possible to suggest at least half a dozen locations for a new plant and then leave it up to local au- thorities to sell the prospect. LOCAL HELP One field which hasn't been de-- veloped yet is assistance te local communities in the province. Many centres have industrial commissioners and their is some co-operative effort with them. But there are many communities in the province which need new in- dustry--we think particularly of northwestern Ontario--and haven't industrial de velo pment depart- ments. There again would be political delicacies but this is a field where eventually the government could give valuable assistance. le cover a KILLED ON HIGHWAY HAMILTON (CP)--Mrs. A. H.
