@ THE DAILY TIME-GAZETTE, Saturday, November ¥1, 1008 Editorials 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario The Dally Times-Gazette (Oshawa, Whitby), published by Times-Gazette Publishers, Limited Art And Crafts Exhibits Should Be Helpful Show 'The Community Recreation Association is 'sponsoring an Arts and Crafts Exhibi- tion, which is to be held on November 24 'and 26. The purpose behind this worthy project is to give the people of Oshawa an opportunity for constructive use of leisure time through the media of the creative art erafts. In presenting this demonstration and display, the CRA is placing before our citizens the possibili- ties' that lie in store for them in these creative fields. eT various erafts and hobbies which are being fllustrated are all being prac- ticed by many people who find in them an avenue of expression for the creative urge that exists within all people. Those who are being assembled to demonstrate in the various departments are all masters in their field, and it will be a privilege for the people of Oshawa to see them at work. History has proved that no eommunity, no nation, is complete without a rich cul- tural background. The pursuit of the creative art crafts is an important part of the cultural heritage of any people. Thus, in seeking to stimulate interest in these crafts, the CRA is making a worth- while contribution to the cultural life of the community it serves. It should not be thought that this ex- hibition is merely a hobby show. It is not made up of eompetitive displays. Rather it is a demonstration, by experts in the various fields of creative art erafts, of what' can be accomplished by adopt- ing one or more of them as hobbies. It should open the eyes of many of our people as to what can be accomplished by the wise use of leisure time. The CRA and its directors and staff are to be commended on undertaking a useful venture of this kind. Their enter- prise deserves the support of the people of Oshawa by a large attendance which will make the project worthwhile. Just One More River To Cross President Eisenhower has authorized the New York State Power Authority to act with the Ontario Hydro Electric Pow- er Commission in the development of electric power in eonnection with the St. Lawrence seaway project. The president's action eliminates the last obstacle in the way of the big undsr- teking, save one. That final obstacle is a restraining law suit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals, ing New York participation in the power venture. The action was initiated jointly by the Pennsylvania Coal Producers Association, the Lake Ontario Land Development and Beach Protective Association and the Public Power and Water Corporation of Trenton, N.J. ; Thus the initiation of the big naviga- tion and power project mow depends on the disposal of the law suit -- which may take time. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has told the Canadian government that, so far as the U.S. executive can influence the matter, the court decision will be speeded as much as possible." The U.S. Justice department has the case scheduled for a hearing next month. Though it has moved slowly, the 8t. Lawrence seaway is eoming ever nearer to realization, A potent factor in the ultimate decis- ion may be the urgent need in both eoun- tries for more power. Such needs in the long run have a way of overcoming legal techniealities. "Proof Of The Pudding" *"The proff of the pudding is in the eating" is a familiar saying, handed down from the era when such heavy fare was common on dinner tables. The saying applies to a lot of other things as well as pudding--notably to life under the beneficent rule of the Hammer and Sickle. In Naples, three years ago, Domenico Faticati and Pietro Merlino were fervent Reds, eminently at home in the inner sanctum of the local Communist Party cell. : As Communism in Italy seemed a bit slow in achieving rule, the twain decided to enjoy its blessings where it was firmly established. In April, 1950, Domenico and Pietro started their northward and eastward trek from Naples. They slipped across the Editorial Notes A Northern Ontario farmer has won the world potato championship.

Bit Of Verse THE IDLER I idle stand that I may find employ, Such as my Master when he comes will give; I cannot find in mine own work my joy, But wait, although in waiting I must live; My body shall not turn which way it will, But stand till I appointed road can find, . And journeyings so his messages fulfill, And do at every step the work designed. Enough for me, still day by day to wait Till Thou who form'st me find'st me too a task, A cripple lying at the rich man's gate, Content for the few crumbs I get to ask, A laborer but in heart, while bound my hands Hand idly down still waiting thy commands. ~Jones Very (1813-1880). Other Editors' Views LEFT OPPOSITION TOO WEAK , (Montreal Star) The Star advocated the return of the St. Laur- ent ministry. It will not, we hope, seem incoherent to take a second breath and say that the scope of the victory has left the Opposition too weak. It is by no means insignificant, but its total strength is dispersed by the regional successes of the CCF and Social Credit parties. From the point of view of Parliament it would have been better by far had the Opposition ranged itself behind the the Con- servative party. . Bible Thoughts "Faith without works is dead . . .

A month...or a year? How does your financial situ- ation compare with Canadians liv- ing in other provinces? With other men or women? Are you in about the same position as others in your jnq age group? p The Gallup Poll has made a cial study on this question which was put to a scientific cross - sec- tion of employed men and women throughout the country: "If you lost your tomorrow how long could you get by without earning?" This is the picture of the nation as a whole. Up to one week -- 16 per cent. Up to one month -- 29 per cent One month to three -- 17 per eent. Tiree months to six -- M per cent. Six months to a year -- 8 per eent. : Over a year -- 16 per cent. Don't know -- four per cent. Total -- 100 per cent. There's a considerable difference between the way employed Cana- dians feel in the eastern provinces, and the rest of Canada. In the Mar- itimes and Quebec, for instance, more than half the workers (52 per cent) say they could manage with- One week Or 1688 .....oveecescces Up to one month ......

In Ontario and the West, this drops to 38 per cent. In the same way only 20 in a hundred who work in the eastern provinces could live for over six months without earning. This rises to about 28 in a hundred in other regions. Despite the fact that there are more married men in business and ustry, than married women, there's very little difference on the whole in the length of time men could manage velope as compared to women. Younger people have less confi- The dence, on the whole, in their abil- ity to live without income than those who are 40 and over. For in- stance, while nearly half of those between 2l-and 40 they could only manage for anywhere up to a month without their job, Je cent of those over think t ey could. When it comes to living for over a year without earning, more w. than twice as -many over 40-(25 per cent) can boast of this, com- bared to those under 40 (10 per cent). Of particular interest is the con- trast between employed men and women who are in professional or "white-collar" jobs, as compared to those who are in skilled, or un- skilled labor, Again the "staying power" shows up dramatically when the possibility of living with- out income for over a year is con- sidered.

QUEEN'S PARK Cabinet Shuffle Seen In Of By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to the Times-Gazette Toronto Rumors are beginning to circulate about a cabinet re organization. The health of the lands and for ests minister, Hon. Welland Gem mell, has brought them to the fore, Mr. Gemmell has had his second serious illness in a year. And though he is recovering there are reports he won't return to the ard uous forestry portfolio--one of the toughest in the government. This is ol speculation, there hasn't been anything official, but it is said if he does continue in a full time cabinet jet it will be in one of the minor posts. IN RUNNING: A number of men are being men- tioned as potential successors. A popular rumor is that Hon. Philip Kelly will be elevated from mines--the same move that was made in the case of Mr. Gemmell himself. The Cochrane North mem- ber, it has been agreed, has been doing a good job in his present st. dy Wardrope and Clare Mapledoram of the Lakehead also are . both being widely mentioned. All three are northern mem- bers, of course, with the last two being from northwestern Ontario, which needs and deserves repre- sentation on the cabinet. = w Both Mr. Kelly and Mr. Maple- doram, however, have a strike against them in that they are pulp * company men. And it would be a tough assignment to land on the popular Mr. Wardrope without any previous cabinet experience. ina ~ Of the present cabinet, Hon, Ar- thur Welsh, provincial secretary and chairman of the LCBO has been talked about as a possibility. Also Public Works Minister Wm. Griesinger (who says he wouldnt want it. Minister without Port- folio Bill Hamilton could handle it if he were willing. But to date the Guelph member has felt he had to concentrate on his private business affairs. SHUFFLE WIDER: If reorganization does come other posts most likely will be af- fected. There has been a lot of sickness in the ranks of the government during the last year. Welfare Min- ister Bill Goodfellow was hospital- ized for some time. Ditto Mr. Welsh. Hon. George Doucette had a long seige. Hon. Fletcher Thom- as has not been any too well all these things add up to possible re- arr t of cabinet duties.

READERS' VIEWS Claims Mine Earning Good Profits The Editor, The Times-Gazette Sir: In your issue of November 18th your Queen's Park n- dent states his views on the mine strike in Northern Ontaro. As is the practice of some columnists Mr. O'Hearn tries to make some- thing sinister of the United Steel- workers of America action to im- prove the lot of its mine members. 1 He ats the mine rators propaganda that gold m is not too profitable. Let's look at the facts. The gov- ernment is subsidizing the mines to the extent of $13,000,000 this year. This subsidy 8 under The Emergency 1d ng As- sistance Act and comes from re- venues derived from the taxpay- ers of Canada. The federal government has stat- ed that the EGMA Act "was de- signed primarily to assist the high- cost or marginal mines to continue in operation over a difficult period and to maintain their dependent communities." Surely, the cost-aid grants -con- tribute nothing towards the main. tenance of dependent comymunpities, yet they serve to augment profits, while wages in he gold mines re- main sub-standard and depressed. It is extremely doubtful whether the miners or their communities have benefited from the $50,000, 000, or more, which has been paid out of the federal trea in gold subsidies since 1948. Undoubtedly, however, the absentee mine owners have benefited considerably, as shown by the following examples. Mcintyre Porcupine Mines Lim- ited employs approximately 1,250 workers in the Porcupine mining camp. It is one of Canada's major gold producers. Its balance sheet shows a paid-up capital of $3,900, 000. After all taxes and write-offs, for the year ending March 31, 1953, it had made a profit of $2,- 298,184, of which $573,547 was iA vided by cost-aid grants. If se grants had been paid to the miners instead of the Company, it would have provided each with a wage increase of over $450 a year, and the Company would still have had a handsome profit. Furthermore, the Company will receive an. increase of at least Companies $225,000 in cost-aid for 1953, as the result of the $2 increase in the rate of assistance. And in addition, if wages should be increased, the Company can pass on 27 cents out of every dollar cost increase to the federal treasury. Hollinger Consolidated is another major Zo producer, with about 4450 mine employees in the Por- cupine Camp. Its 1952 Annual Re- port shows a profit of $2,410,587, before taxes of $505,880. Govern- meant assistance had provided $708,912 of its profits. Jf this sum had been paid to the workers rath- er than to the Company, it would have provided wage increases of $530 I= miner for the year 1953, and Company would have had about half of the wage increase returned to it through reduced taxes and increased cost-aid grants. The United Steelworkers of Am- erica made ev: possible effort to avoid strike action. Unfortunate- ly it seems, the mine owners have mistaken, these efforts as a of weakness. In several cass cal management has indicted a nal desire to compromise the if they were of ab- controls. It is common knowledge in the industry that all are bound by a pact form- bY he leading financial con- terests which forbids any concessions to the Union. ; The mine owners have attempt- ed to create a public impression that gold mining is unprofitable and that wage increases would compel the mines to shut down. If: such an impression has been created, it is certainly not based upén .the facts. In ow November 13th edition The: Oshawa and District Labor Council (CCL) carried an adver- tisertient citing the hours, wages #nd'the working conditions of the iar. In every yespeet | the hours are longer and wages lower than thowe prevailing in industry in Southern Ontario.

Sir,--Allow me a little space in your valuable paper, to commend "Pedestrian™ on the accurate de- scription of the condition of the sidewalks on King Street West from Centre to Nassau Streets. It is a disgrace to our fair city, and a nuisance for those walking to and fro to business or shopping, to say Jothing of the children who have to pu dle through the water to table and not its fair share of provincial revenues." * 'He said "bottlenecks in educa- tion" could be removed if the de- partment had a ready source of revenue such as a tax on public utilities.
