THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, age 6 Saturday, July 7, 1956 Moose Jaw Building Arena By Civic Co-operation About a year ago, the city of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan suffered the same fate as Oshawa did in October, 1953. Its skating rink and hockey arena was destroyed by fire. Now that city is in the throes of a campaign, spear-headed by public-spirited citizens, to have a new rink built in time to have skating and hockey when next winter comes along. Moose Jaw is a modest city .of some 25,000 people, but it is going at the task of raising some $400,000 or $500, 000 for the building of a new arena. In an editorial, the Moose Jaw Times- Herald has this to say of the project: "If there are to be facilities during the coming fall and winter, they can only be created by the public support of the finan. cial drive which is now in progress. The civic centre which is planned will provide hockeysand skating facilities, an auditorium and other recreational facilities, the need for which cannot be denied. GUEST EDITORIAL "A total of $400,000 as a minimum, ana $500,000 to make a better job of the bu:ld- ing, is being sought from the citizens. That may look like a large sum, but the provision of the facilities as planned will mean that Moose Jaw will not only be back on the hockey map, but will be able to provide proper facilities for other forms of enter- tainment. The citizens of Moose Jaw have the opportunity to provide themselves with the civic centre, but to do so they will have to view the project from a wider aspect than their personal desires and needs. It is a community undertaking, and «nly a 'fully co-operative effort by the citizens can bring it about." It is nearly three years since Osh- awa's arena was destroyed by fire. Yet we are still waiting for some leader- ship in the matter of providing a mod- ern arena to take its place. Maybe the same kind of community co-operation as is being invoked in Moose Jaw -- half the size of Oshawa -- would pro- duce the desired result here. The Remedy For Frustration By MAJOR VICTOR MacLEAN Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom- tom. That's just how trouble seems to start. Beat, Beat, Beat! Thud, Thud, Thud! Increasing in tempo and volume and violence, like the rumklings of thunder coming closer and closer. Crash! Bang! We have reached the limit of our endurance. Our nerves are ready to crack. Housewife, school teacher, secretary, executive, shopman -- no matter what our occupation, the time comes when the demands of our time, our attention and our patience seem to reach the saturation point. If we could only shut our eyes to the raucous clamor -- the squabbling children, the nagging boss, the jangling phones, the deafening ma- ehinery! If we could only get away from it all! The poor Scottish mother of a large family had a unique way of replenish- ing her soul's need and regaining her patience when she reached her wits end. There was no possibility of privacy in the overcrowded rooms of her small home, so she would throw her apron over her head. The children had learned that at such times she was communing with her Heavenly Father Speaker Tenders The action of Hon. Rene Beaudoin in tendering his resignation as Speaker of the House of Commons is a logical and proper result of what has happened in parliament in recent weeks, It can be regarded as unfortunate that the office of Speaker has become the subject of unseemly wrangling in the House of Commons. The fact that a motion of censure of the Speaker was debated in the House, and was brought to a vote was in itself sufficient justification for Mr. Beaudoin's resignation. The dec- laration of those who voted in favor of the motion of censure that they no longer had any confidence in his im- partiality destroyed his usefulness as presiding officer in the House of Com- mons. What brought the decision to resign, however, was something different. The fact that Mr. Beaudoin wrote a letter to a Montreal newspaperman, in which he strongly criticized the opposition Editorial Notes Luxury has been defined as some- thing vou happen to want when you don't have the price to buy it.

They knew from ex- perience that she took down her apron, she would have regained her serenity. We, too, can evert that final crash if we will heed the warning signals, All too often there is no opportunity to withdraw from the disturbance or even to collect one's thoughts to formulate a prayer. So in anticipation of such crises, it is wise to have on the tip of our tongue an appropriate Bible verse or a few lines of a hymn which will remind us that at the centre of every hurricane there is a place of per- fect calm. As pressure increases and the tension mounts, we should take just a minute and, closing our mind to all else, repeat our chosen verse. There are many to choose from. My favourite is a prayer-verse by Whittier. In times of intense stress, I slowly repeat the calm, quietening, reassur- ing words, and they never fail to relieve the tension and give me staying power. Here it is: Drop Thy still dews of quietness Till all my strivings cease. Take from my heart the strain and stress, The beauty of Thy peace. And let my ordered life confess Resignation parties in the Commons was the last straw. In spite of the fact that it was supposed to be a personal letter, it should never have been written. Its publication provided further fuel to the controversy raging around the Speaker, and no amount of explanation that the letter was personal, or apo- logies for its publication, could undo the great harm which had been done to the high office of Speaker. Mr. Beaudoin has taken the only possible course in submitting his resignation. It may be that Mr. Beaudoin was the victim of circumstances. But it has been obvious to all who read Hansard that his treatment of the members on the two sides of the house was far from impartial in the pipeline debate and the procedural arguments which sur- rounded it. There can be no question but that Mr. Beaudoin leaned very heavily towards the side of the govern- ment. And that is something which no Speaker is ever supposed to do. Bits Of Verse EDUCATION HAS PRIORITY (Farmer's Advocate) Education cannot be postponed to some future and more convenient time. Learning, on all levels, must be made available to the nation's youth from five' years of age on- ward, and the necessary expenditure has prior- ity over all othér government costs except for the maintenance of law and order. Bible Thoughts LAW ON PASS. ' (Camrose Canadian) We sat in on a court case the oll ay when the RCMP were emphasizing a section of the Act that says when another car overtakes you and indicates a desire to pass, it is your res- ponsibility to give him room to pass, at least moving safely over to the right of the centre line of traffic, and possibly reduce your speed to make it safe for him to pass. If this be so, this is one phase of the traffic laws that few drivers are acquainted with and what's more, very few pay any attention to, A LOT OF MUSCLES TO HOLD OLIVE BRANCH GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Optimism Of Canadians For Nation's Future Grows By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION In debates over the volume of U.S capital invested in Canadian development, someone is fairly sure to argue that Canadians have no confidence in the country's fu- ture and therefore Canadian capi- tal is hard to come by. Actually, in the past ten years, the optimism of rank and file citi- zens in Canada's future, always high, has grown sharply, as' re- flected in opinion studies by the Canadian Institute.

It's good to see a branch of gov- ernment that isn't open to ecrit- icism. And here is one. In our experience no one has had anything but good to say about this program of the gov- ernment. Yes, there was one. A certain cynic complained about the "lux- ury" that was being built into some of 'the homes. But no one took him seriously. 5000 BEDS In 1949 when the program started, very little attention was given to the care of our aged. At that time the province agreed to pay 50 per cent of the cost of new municipal homes. Since then as its fifty-fifty share it has spent more than $14,000,000. Homes have been built in 35 dif- ferent communities with a total of 5,000 beds Those familiar with the homes in the province know the need they have filled. They know the com- fort they have given to our elderly citizens. Some know, and some don't, that it is the only program of its kind on the continent. Certainly not one will begrudge the $13,000,000 of public money. The only suggestion would be that we spend more. CHURCH CAMPAIGNS Church organizations are fight- ing liquor more busily than ever. Not only are they getting organ- ized against the move for grocery store sale of beer, but they are A many fights against local out- ets, The observer has one thought on all this. That is, why don't they try to improve the whole liquor structure, rather than tak- ing little bites at it. Surely they realize that the present liquor system is very poor. Then why not agitate for a new public study and revision? MINORS DRINKING Take one example. In recent weeks there have been dozens of examples of minors being fined on drunkenness charges. THESE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO OUR LIQUOR SYSTEM! How and why the minors got the liquor is seldom explained. There is little enforcement against the persons who sold it to them. Are the churches not worried about this Of course they are But they don't pay public at- tention to it. And yet i they did, they are probably the one group in the province that could force an improvement, FOR BETTER HEALTH Here's What It A Person By HERMAN N.
