dhe Osha Times Published by Canadfbn Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S,, Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Tuesday, January 27, 1959 Time and Money Saved 'With Insurance Slip One way to save yourself five aollars, wor 8 lot of unnecessary steps, Is to have the slip your car insurance man gave you after you pald your premium, when you step up to the wicket to buy your 1069 car licence, The young lady, who checks your slip and takes your money, is both per- sonable and courteous, She is also quite firm about that slip, If you have it she rings up five dollars less than without it. The extra five is for free- loaders who cannot afford or will not pay insurance money to protect others, Motorists, who forget the little slip given when they pald their premium, and sent again by most of the insurance men early this year, must run into the thousands in the province. The fact that they have two of them on the top of the dining room cupboard at home is not enough proof for the good ~ look=- ing girl at the licence office, She may believe you, You may look honest, Your life may be above reproach, But with all the saints and apostles on your side you will not get your car licence at regulation rates unless you push that little white Liability Insurance Certificate through the wicket, with your last year's licence and whatever cash your horsepower makes you pay, We are passing this hint on as a re- minder to the thousands who have yet to line up for the 1959 licences to own a motor vehicle, It is to prevent some hurried and harried soul, who has patiently waited for the line to move along, being sent home after his tire- some wait, Do not think it cannot happen to you, The good-looking girl we referred to earlier will vouch for it, after re- gretfully and often repeating to motor- ists in a hurry the old laundry slogan of "no tickee, no washee." Reminder to motorists, Fill out your old licences, Tuck in the white slip, And don't forget to take some money along. It costs plenty nowadays to use our roads, Wastefulness Of Crime Crime causes waste in two ways, the Calgary Albertan points out, and goes on to comment: When certain people sre out of prison they create no end of trouble for the public and put cost- ly police forces to no end of expense, Getting and keeping those people be- hind bars would mean a big saving And needlessly keeping certain peo- ple in prison is equally wasteful, They may be quite capable of earning their own llving and contributing to society, yet are living off the taxpayers. Get ting those psople out of prison would save a good deal of money Courts, in fixing prison terms, are supposed to take into account what length of sentence is really necessary, but they can't be too flexible. They have to go largely by the book, and if the book says five years then it's five years even though one year might be found later to have been enough to teach. the required lesson, So to reduce the waste there should be constant review of all prison popu- lation, to authorize the release of everyone who can safely be released and to guard against the risk of con- tinued imprisonment doing the prison- er more harm than good, The federal justice department has just appointed Canada's first full-time parole board, The work was formerly done by officials within the depart- ment, but not on a proper scale or basis, Now four competent and re- spected Canadians, each with exper- jence in this work, will take over the responsibility, Incidentally three of them have worked with the John Howard Society, wheih will take a good deal of pleasure in the board being set up The government and in particular the justice minister, Mr, David Fulton, are to be complimented for this step, The country applauds it Children In Factories An Interesting comment on the prac tical application of Communist ideas has been reported from East Germany. There the Soviet-supported Com- munist regime launched a program of "polytechnic education." Reduced to elementary terms, the program required several hundred thousand students from 13 to 18 years old to each work one day a week with- aut 'pay in state-run factories, collec tive farms and construction projects Even the state - controlled East- German press has reported criticism of the program In discussion forums Thus, a health officer says the work "imposes too much of a strain on a youngster." A factory inspectors says few planis do a good job of construc tion, Factory managers complain that the plan interferes with production In stead of alding it. Workers say it Is dangerous to have the children in some shops. Farms give them nothing but routine, menial tasks Americans and Britons decided more than a generation ago that child labor was undesirable--eversghen paid for. Their capitalistic hu laws against it, which are not only enforced but are buttressed with compulsory school attendance Communism (or state capitalism) uses one after another the forms cast aside by free society 'as unprogressive, It levies consumption taxes which bear most heavily on small earners instead of collecting graduated income taxes, It pays piece-work rates as a goad to production instead of hourly rates for workers It runs so-called labor unions simply as inst*uments to step up production quotas, Vandals and Weapons Those who have for years protested the manufacture and sale of air rifles, BB guns and pistols will find more convincing evidence in the case of three Saskatoon juveniles apprehended by police last week after what the police chief described as the worst wave of vandalism in the city's his- tory, The boys, uged 13 to 15, admitted breaking into nine homes within a few days and doing damage estimated be- tween $4,000 and $5000. Air guns shooting copper pellets seemed to be the chief werpon of the destroyers, although they also used knives and threw rotten eggs. The Ostyarve Times T. L. WILSON.

It has been taken for granted all along that this would be Mr. Frost's big point in his next elec- tion and nothing has occurred to change this thinking. GOOD POINTS Along with the insurance plan he will have a good number of secondary points to offer as proof of his record, The establishment of the Water Resources Commission and the work it has done to date on the sewage problem will be one of them. The demerit system and the better safety record will be an- other, A third will be the system of education grants tied to assess ment which was Introduced since the last election and which has tended to make for better equal: ization, ENERGY DEPARTMENT Two new steps which are ex- READERS' VIEWS pected, and which will have their importance at the polls are es- tablishment of a new department of energy and a program of northern development, The energy department will be in charge of all electric, gas and oll resources and will help the government face the criticism it will be receiving over the natural gas administration during the year, Amouncement of the depart ment and promises of the many things it will do to "take every safety precaution possible' could remove much of the sting from the opposition attack, NORTHERN COUNCIL? There hasn't been too much said about the northern develop- ment angle yet, except for the announcement of Moosonee de- velopment The observer has a hunch there will be much more to it than this, There has been a bit of thought given here for some time to es- tablishing some form of separate administration devoted to north ern problems and it possibly could crystallize at the session One suggestion has been that there should he a separate branch of government --which there was in days gone b) which would work with some form of a north ern council or informal "little parliament" Municipal Vote Plan Suggested Dear Sir I would appreciate space In The Times lo offer a system that would stop all this controversy after elections I feel that with this suggestion there would not be any favoritism, back: scratching or polities enter into the election The ballot for mayor would be abolished and every candidate would run In a straight contest, The candidate receiving the highest number of votes would automatically be mayor, the others In order of highest votes would be chalrmen of the various committees in order of Inpor- tance. For example, finance Is apparently the most Important committee, so the second highest candidate would he chairman, Each chairman would have the power to add one member to that _ committee, At this point the may- or would take over and fill in the remaining members, In office at the present time, the majority have and are mak- ing a success of their business, so they would be qualified to be mayor or chairmen of any of the committees I think the above system would bring out more voters, because if there is a candidate they want for mayor It would he their duty to get out In full force. There would be the same incentive to vote thely choice into the chair. manship of Important commit. toes As for fining or taking away the franchise from those who do not vote, isn't that bordering on dictatorship? Get out and vote or else! This Is a [ree country In that respect, 1 also think the present mayor and some alder. men will have to be on their toes the next two years, with the re ported treatment one candidate received.

He probably doesnt get along too well with associates or underlings at the office. His home life Is no bed of roses, either, Why? Blame it, or at least a good part of it, on poor eating habits, A SUPERMAN? The boss may think he is sort of superhuman, He doesn't think he can become Ill, and he doesn't eat sensibly, Far too many executives rush off to work in the morning with out an adequate breakfast Let's take a logical look at the situation, since most business men respect loge, BODY ENERGY When a person arises in the morning he hasn't eaten for some 10 to 14 hours. His body needs the energy that only food can give it, A doughnut and a cup of coffee won't do the job, Yet, the boss doesn't even try to correct the situation at lunch, No, don't envy the boss, pity him, And tell him he had beter begin eating better in a hurry, QUESTION AND ANSWER M.R.T.: Should a normal and healthy person take cold and flu shots nine months out of the year?
