O THE DAILY FIMBSGARETTE, Wednestey, May 3, 304 ditorials by Times The Dally Times-Gasette Whitby) 7 Simcoe Street f South, Oshawa, Teaching School Children What British Empire Means On account of the annual Victoria Day holiday on May 24 coming on Monday of next week, the celebration of Empire Day in the schools of the province of Ontario will be held on Friday, May 21, Usually, it falls on the day immediately prior to May 24, but the day of the holiday this year makes that impossible. As a guide to school principals and' - teachers in bringing before their pupils the importance of the connection of Can- ada with the other dominions and nations within the British Commonwealth, the Ontario Department of Education has this year produced a booklet of more than average value. Carrying on the front cov- er a handsome portrait of Queen Eliza- beth and the Duke of Edinburgh, and on the back cover a picture of the opening of the first parliament of Upper Canada by Col. John Graves Simcoe at Niagara-on- the-Lake in 1792, the special Empire Day booklet is intended to instill in the minds of the school children of Ontario a feeling of pride in being part of the Empire and Commonwealth. It is at one and the same time a text book in history and in citizen- ship. The message of Queen Elizabeth, deliv- ered from New Zealand on Christmas Day last, forms a fitting prelude. to stories of the time of the first Elizabeth, of the de- velopment of Canada from colony to na- tion, and articles on various phases of cit- izenship. The pattern is entirely different from any of the previous Empire Day booklets issued to the schools, and one cannot help feeling that Hon. W. J. Dun- lop, Ontario's Minister of Education, with his strongly patriotic views on Canada's place in the Empire and world, has had much to do, personally, with its contents. And we note with pleasure that he makes no bones about using the word Empire, which many lesser people in the public life of our country have completely discarded. Sixth Anniversary Of Israel Less than two short decades ago, many Europeans laughed at the idea of the crea- tion in the Middle East of the State of Israel, a national home for the Jews. Last week the State of Israel marked the sixth anniversary of the establishment of "the Jewish State in Palestine, to be call- ed the State of Israel." Since that day in May, 1948, the Israel story has been full and exciting. Unfor- tunately, the political events of those six years have tended to shroud the material progress and development that has taken place. There were high ideals held by those who founded the State of Israel and they and those who have been concerned with ite progress and development have worked courageously and devotedly. This little bit of land in the Middle East had been ignored and neglected for 2,000 years, but with the creation of a separate state the Jews of the world have literally clasped # #0 their breasts, for they see the answer to the centuries old prayers of the dispersed people. Where once there were only a few thousand Jews, today there are over one million and a half. The desert and the dune now have prosperous and bustling. cities. Where once the nomad wandered and flocks of sheep grazed, there are flourish- ing truck farms, and where there once was pestilence, malaria, trachoma, child- birth fever, there are mow large areas made safe for human habitation. Education has. been made compulsory, so that Arab and Jew children are assur- ed of schooling. Women have been given the vote in Israel, no small development in a part of the world where once wom- an's estate was not one to be envied. This birthday anniversary of a new State is an occasion for congratulation. Even though there are still austerity and self-sacrifice, border disturbances and charges and counter-charges; Israel is vig- orous and going forward with indomit- able spirit. Letting Personality Be Guide More and more, as we read the reports of the McCarthy-Army feud in the United States are we glad that our place of resi- dence is in Canada. The current phase of the controversy is being aired on televi- sion to the whole nation, making a public spectacle out of what would properly be a very minor issue. As we see it, it is not the principle that is involved. Both the Army and Mec- Carthy protest that they are anxious to root out any Communists in the service of the nation. The real issue is a clash of personalities, suggestive more of a struggle for party power than of a real desire to rid the country of communists. The whole theatrical setting which has been organized for this dispute indicates clearly that somewhere along the line Me- Carthy has set himself up on A pedestal. He has been carried away by the promi- Editorial Notes We see displays of fireworks appearing in store windows. Parents should make sure that they are used only under strict adult supervision.

In our opinion, there is little room at the top for an individual with a bombastic nature such as McCarthy has shown him- self to possess. He is doing more harm to his country--in the eyes of an outsider-- than any good he is doing in chasing the Communists. We feel that he would make more progress in his investigations if he were to recognize that these other per- sonalities are not against him. His fault lies in attempting to force everyone to see things his way. But that, as we in Canada have long ago learned, is an im- possibility. The sooner he learns that the United States is more important than McCarthy, the better it will be for that nation, and incidentally, for the rest of the world. Other Editors' Views PEOPLE'S NERVES (Peterborough Examiner) We used to hear a great deal about "nerves." People who were exasperated, or discouraged or unable to concentrate, were popularly said to be victims of their nerves. Perhaps they were so, but could not their nerves have been the victims of what they ate? Proper diet is certainly not the answer to all nervous ailments, but might it not be a great assistance in avoiding many of these? Bit Of Verse FINAL SERVICE The pigeons in the park know our heroes wel) and find them less august than obliging. They are pearch and windbreak, sunslade and hotel serving amiably, making no display of talents that won them this distinguished spot. Where statesmen once hung on their measured words and kings took notice of their ultimatums, our heroes listen gravely to the birds and, in concern for weather, water, crumbs, forget what lands' they claimed, what wars they fought. ~--Helen Harrington, Bible Thoughts It isn't where we are, or even what we are doing that counts so much as Whom we are doing it for; "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed; do ali in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him."

Anglo - American relations, on which many views have been ex- Frossed recently, may not be as ad as some commentators make out. While weight of opinion in United Kingdom disappoves the role Unit- ed States is now playing in world affairs, this is something less than majority opinion, and the margin between disapproval and approval is a slim --= Approve Disapprove No opinion Certainly, any disapproval of U.S. foreign policy does not neces- sarily mean approval of Russia's: "What about the role of the Soviet Union? Approve . Disapprove No opinion Results from the third question indicate that a majority of British- ers feel that Britain is yielding too frequently to U.S. foreign policy pressures: "Some people say that we are ving in too much to the United tates in our foreign policy. Do you agree or disagree?" Three questions were put to a careful! signed sample of rank- and-file Britons recently, by the British Institute, the results of these throw light on the feeling of voters in that country. Here were the questions, with results: g "Do you approve or disapprove of the role the United States is now playing in world affairs?" This question was also asked in 1953 and 1952, so that a compari- son is possible. It will be seen that the deterioration has been slight: Feb. March TODAY Disagree No opinion ' On the first question, dealing with U.S. role in world affairs, it is interesting to see sharp cleav- ages in the opinions of the Conser- ative supporters, of whom 55 per cent approve U.S. foreign policy, 36 per cent disapprove; and labor, of whom only 23 per cent approve, with 54 per cent disapproving.

World Copyright Reserved QUEEN'S PARK Capable Men On New Fuel Board By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette TORONTO -- A couple of nice chaps are heading the new fuel board. Arch Crozier, who will be chair- man, has a long-time association with the fas field, having been fuel controller since the war years. He is a very pleasant and ca- able official. This was well illus- rated during the years of gas shortage when he had to impose restrictions and even blackouts and didn't get himself or the gov- ernment into serious trouble once. Lorne R. "Duke"' MacTavish is one of those senior officials here who seldom gets little prominence buf do Yery important jobs s chief legislative counsel, Mr. MacTavish is responsible for the drafting of all the legislation that goes fore the House--usually some 150 bills or so, some of them running wp to 100 pages of legal gobblydook. To his credit, seldom these days are amendments required because of poot drafting. In such a highly ical job, is a great com- pliment. The third member of the board, H. T. Simpson, we don't know, but understand he has an out- standing reputation. NORTHERN GAS . The "board has a very important ob, more so than would appear at first glance. On it, more than any other body for instance, will depend whether much of the North gets natural gas service. It will be the front for the gov- ernment and the main contact with the pipeline and gas-distributing companies, It would seem to be already apparent that pressure will have to be exerted if many bo of the northern centres are to get gas, and it will be the board that will have to exert this pressure, If it does well, we imagine the North will get its chief fuel. If it doesn't, northern develop- ment can be held back. LIQUOR ADS « Liquor advertising is full of subtle (sometimes!) devices, but one of the more recent examples beats all get-out. As you know, all radio advertis- ing of liquor is banned in the rovince so the breweries use uffalo stations which cover a large portion of southern Ontario. ewspaper and placard advertis- ing is supposed to be "institu- tional". | \ One of our breweries has man- aged to combine the two. Its "in- stitutional'"' advertising consists of recommending a radio program. The program, as it happens, is its own production via a Buffalo station. Someone surely at some time must have said that regulation breeds hypocrasy. FRANK MINISTER Even in most troubled days there is usually a smile around here, The other day, as a gag for the opening of a new hospital, they had Dr. Mackinnon "Hurry Hurry --Hurry" Phillips flown in a helicopter from the front of the Parliament Buildings to the hos- pital. He was supposed to be racing an ambulance. Dr. Phillips, who will tackle any- thing, but who often has a novel approach, was making his first helicopter trip. When asked if he wasn't afraid, he replied: "Well I figured I had to do it myself, I wouldn't ask any of my officials to do it -- they are too valuable -- but you can always replace a minister." ¢ SAYS TENSION EASES REGINA .

Complete: with typewriter and notebook, I was carried on Can- ada's own Maple Leaf route, from Montreal to London and back, with three full days in England, all in the space of 100 hours. Our flying carpet for this magic trip was the new Super Constel- lation de luxe airliner, which will carry 63 passengers across the Atlanti¢ in 10 hours non-stop. With a favorable following wind, this plane could easily save 90 min- utes of this time, to establish a new Montreal-London airliner re- cord for TCA. The return journey, normally flown into the teeth of the wind, will average about two hours longer. As we waited for the take-off from Montreal's Dorval airport, newsmen and officials of rival air- lines in London, New York and Montreal were agog to see if we would break the record. But wea- ther reports were so unfavourable that we soon knew that no attempt would be made on the record. So confidant were airline officials that we could establish a new low for the eastbound transatlantic flight, given favorable winds, that a hist- oric Canadian was included among the passenger list for what might have been an historic flight. Sixty-eight-year-old J. A. D. Mc- Curdy, who was the first man in the Commonwealth to fly an aero- plane, and the first man in the world to fly without an assisted take-off, was this Grand Old Man. Using a gold watch presented to him on his 21st birthday by Mr. and Mrs.Alexander Graham Bell, he checked the time of our flight, mentally comparing the five miles per minute at which we were carried along by our four 3, h.p. engines with the 30 m.p.h. at which that one 29 h.p. engine had propelled his history-making biplane at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, just 45 years ago. POWERFUL NEW ENGINES Mr. McCurdy explained to me that the faster speed and greater carrying capacity of this new Super Constellation is made pos- sible by an. entirely new type of engine. Every internal combustion engine, whether on your own car or on an aeroplane, loses a lot of power in the wasted exhaust gases. This new engine has three turbines driven by these exhaust gases, and these pick up an additional 20 per cent of power, which would other- wise be lost from the main 28- cylinder engine. Approximately one-quarter of the 70 tons which our Super Conny weighed at take-off was accounted for by the huge petrol load, We carried enough for 14 hours flight, and used it up at the rate of one gallon every 1200 yards. Our filled fuel tanks weighed three times as much as the 68 passengers and seven crew members which new giant airliner will carry across the Atlantic. NINE COURSE DINNERS As a novel feature .in Trans- atlantic flying, TCA plans to sary nine first class passengers and tourist class passengers in the same plane. For the extra $90 which it costs each way, the first lass passengers will enjoy slightly more leg room, a very comfortable full length reclining chair, and more lavish meals. Mid-atlantie dinner, for example, will be a nine- course affair. Our steward, W., R. "Bill" Grant, from Port Arthur, told me that this will be served on fine china plates, with silver cutlery and beautiful crystal glas- ses -- filled with free cocktails and wine. Normally aerial meals are served on specially fitted plastic trays with plastic containers. Judging by the magnificent four- course meal, supplied by London's famous caterers J. Lyons and Company, which we enjoyed on the return trip, tourist class passen- gers will eat lavishly, while first class passengers will start their dinner over Ireland and finally sip their coffee over Greenland's ice cap. ) Within the next six months, TCA will have these luxury airliners not only flying the Atlantic but 250 also flying between Montreal and Vancouver, shaving two hours off the present schedule. New Vis- count airliners will be adding to the comfort and subtracting from the time on shorter flights, say between Toronto and ontreal; Bristol Freighters will be offering a special trans Canada freigh service; and the North Stars now flying the Atlantic will run a novel transatlantic freight service. This is the $31,000,000 program by which TCA plans to make Canada pro- portionately the best air-served country in the world.
