$ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, December 28, 1958 ~ Editorials Tim Publishers, Limited The Daily Times Whitby ) by | 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, Ontario Peace | Seems Little Closer. Since Christmas of 1952 Ae we think of the theme of the angel's song on that first Christmas, "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men," and look around the world at the pieture which presents itself at this season, it is possible to feel a sense of encourage- ment. The picture has brightened con- siderably since the Christmas of a year ago. At that time, armies were locked in bitter conflict in the hills of Korea, and a high tension was felt everywhere in the cold war between the conflicting idealogies. There were trouble spots in many parts of the world, with Egypt in a state of turmoil, and dissension raging im Iran. It was a gloomy world twelve months ago. As we look around the world today, we find a brighter and happier state of affairs. The Korean fighting has been ended by a truce, and men are no longer dying on the hills of Korea. There has Looking Ahead to The report presented to the members and members-elect of the Oshawa City Council the other night by the Planning Board was a forward-looking document which merits more than passing con- sideration. by the eitizens, as well as by official bodies. It presented a picture of the Oshawa of the future, of the days when the population will be in the neigh- berhood of 90,000. That is plan-ing at and it is a great pity that a ¢ lke that of the present day was in existence 95 years ago to guide development of Oshawa at interesting to know that not only $0 be done to bring been a definite easing of the tension be- tween Russia and the western nations, - and hopes are high that much of the mis- understanding between them will 'be wiped out at the forthcoming four-power conference. Peace reigns in Egypt and, although all differences. have not been straightened out, friendly diplomacy has taken place of veiled threats. And it looks as if a new era of friendship be- tween Iran and Great Britain has begun. These all represent parts of a trend towards a more peaceful world, a world in keeping that the bong the angels sang on the night of 'the birth of the Prince of Peace. At this time when His natal day is being observed, may we hope that this trend towards the goodwill and understanding which are essential to peace, continues, and that the day may come when men of all nations shall be united in a vast brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. City of 90,000 fruition the plans which are envisaged by the Planning Board's report, but it is work of such a nature that it can be done by stages, and kept within the means of the city. It would be unwise to rush blindly into development to meet the needs of 90,000 people and impose the burden of paying for it on half that num- ber of citizens. Oshawa is fortunate on having a Planning Board which takes its duties seriously, and which is given valuable and constructive leadership by its chair- man, Mr. Norman C. Millman. His work has been of the highest standard, and has given to the City and other public bodies a pattern to which to work, a pat- tern which will prevent the follies of the past being perpetuated im the develop- ment of the city of the future. Oshawa's citizens owe Mr. Milliman a great debt of gratitude for the splendid service which he has rendered freely and on a voluntary basis as chairman of this most important body. Conscientious Parents Will Despair Children's manners are the responsi- bility of the parents. Conscientious par- will, therefore, give their ehildren' Tost. They will insist that the children rise when thelr elders enter the room. They will conch them not to seat themselves until others are seated. Conscientious parents will instruct their children not to rush for the table as soon a meal is announctd. They will direct them to go to their chairs quietly and with dignity. They will caution them against wolfing their food, drinking liquids when their mouths are already full, eating with their knives and with their fingers. They will admonish the children not #o ask for things that are not on the table, not to take second helpings unless the food is abundant, not to reach for food and to pass & to others before serving whemselves. : Editorial Notes .

They will groan when asked to drop what they are reading and ° take a lesson in etiquette. They will beg their parents to let them alone. When #t comes to a practice demon- stration they will forget what they have been taught. They will break all the rules. Even though the instructions are repeat-- ed again and again they will slip up. Parents, therefore, will despair. They will conclude that nature evidently in- tended their children to be barbarians and there is nothing more to be done about it. ; What then is the parents' surprise, when the children have been away from home and on their own, to be told by friends whose standards are high, who are not given to flattery, that "Your chil- dren have such beautiful manners!" ~~ Bit Of Verse COMPENSATION When Time, who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasures, $00, i The mem'ry of the past will stay, And half our joys renew. : --THOMAS MOORE. Other Editors' Views RUSSIA PAYS OFF (Fort William Times-Journal) One good thing to be said of Russia in recent years is her recognition of financial indebtedness to other nations. Notwithstanding that the Soviet conceivably might have figuratively thumbed a nose at foreign countries who have virtually cut off trade with Russia. Moscow has been meeting her obligations, even though on a slow basis. The other day Russia made final payment on the $20,000,000 debt incurred when she took over the Petsamo nickel mine in Finland. And Ottawa informs us that this practically cleans up all out standing debt issues which existed between Russia and Oanada.

They heard it on the radio from no less an authority than Dr. Percy Wilkins, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Association. Wilkins himself was among those who tuned in on his secorded broad cast over the BBC. Today he said: "The BBC has been very naughty--I did not dream of suggesting that the bridge was artificial. LE SOMETHING OUT "Unfortunately they left out the bit where I said 'the bridge was an absolutely natural thing." His broadcast confirmed last July's discovery of the moon bridge by the late John O'Neill science editor of the New York Herald-Tribune. Wilkins said that when O'Neill sent him an airmail letter asking him to confirm existence of the bridge, which looms 5,000 feet above the moon plain, he sus- pected it was "just another Amer- ican 'space man' Sok: MADE BY METEORITE? "But at the first favorable op- portunity I looked for it, and there, sure enough, it was." Wilkins said the bridge, "a gi- gantic arch, is absolutely unique and the most extraordinary fea- ture known on the moon today." CITY OF Citizens are requested business district.
