PAGE TWO TEE CAKADIAI STATUMAN. EOWMA~fV!T..T~ ON'I'AWfl 'k~TTTI~TIAV I'U~~ 9,iA IBIS EDITORIALS Durham County Again in the- Limelight Durham County has often been refer- red to as "the Banner Ceunty cf Ontario", due te the many things it has accemplish- ed in leadership by its native sens and daughters, and aiso in the various realins in agriculture in which it bas exceUled. The Statesman bas neyer been accused of its modesty in hiding these "lights urider a bushel". But a local newspaper has te bç careful in boasting about such matters for editors have a habit cf being super loyal te their own cemmunity by playing up the good deeds in their own bailiwick -which makes for friendly cempetitien and coruparison. Just te prove and illustrate our peint, ,as far as Durham County is cencerned, we came across several news stories in news- papers and magazines the past week about D urham boys. Most cf them have to do with rural folks. In the Family Herald and Weekiy Star 'we spied the photo cf Durham County's Apple King, Deputy-Reeve Wilfrid Car- ruthers cf Bowmanville, in a group photo with the new directors cf the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Grewers' Association. On the opposite page in the same journal wvas the photo cf Durham Ceuuty's Champion Junior Farmer Maie Quartet in the rocent provincial centest, vi. Row- land Coombes, Jack Allin, Jim Coombes and Glenn Allun. The seme photo appear- ed in the Farmer's Advecate and Canadian Countryman. In the sarne issue cf the Farrner's Advocate xvas a group photo headed "Leaders and Experts Discussing Farm Organizations", in which Deputy Reeve Garnet Rickard cf Darlingten Township, representing Durham Ceunty Foderation of Agriculture, was shown. Then in the Globe and Mail a despatch reporting the convention of the Canadian Association cf Nurservmeu held at Niagara Falls two local nurserymen, N. J. Scett and George Downham, wvere elected direc- tors. Turning to sport, Maclean's Magazine in its February 4th issue had an article on "The Rise and Falcf Tom Longboat" in which it featured a full page photo showing our fellow townsman and wvorld champion runuer. Alfie Shrubb, startino- in a race with Longboat in Montreal Iu 1909. Then in the Toronto Star was a feature article about the recently formed Ontario Heart Foundation in which the Vice-Chair- man cf this group, Alfred N. Mitchell, a webl known native son cf Durham County, was interviexved. Of course, there may have been others in papers we didn't see. but these cern- ments wvil ho enough for one week to justify our clarmn that Durham County is really a banner county. This remiuds us that several years ago when the editor cf The Statesman was attending a banquet given at Ottawa by the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assoc- iation Executive the speaker, the late Dr. W. A. Clark, Deputy-Minister cf Finance, wvas iutroduced as "an illustrieus son cf Giengarry Couuty." The chairman, Editor Harmon Rice cf the Huntsville Forester, later cornmented with censiderable glee, "thauk Ged ahl the illustrieus sens don't cerne from Durhamn County!" Al cf which proves one must be careful in boasting about one's native sons, lest it stir up the green mouster. Next te the three R's in the public school curriculum many contend music should be a must well up Ln the subjects taught the young hopefuls. The States- man supported that idea tiventy-five or more years ago when Durham County had the distinction cf being the first county in the province te teachi music in ail its public schoois. Later the Durham County Music Festival wvas established but it wvas dîscontinued during the Second World War.1 Thon for the past 10 years the Kiwanis Club cf Peterborough teck up the torch by holding a music festival ini the Liftlock City. This cultural venture has proven érninently successful and has grown in influence and popularity. Many contes- tants from Durham. County have contribut- A miner revolution in retailing seems 'underway in some tewns and cities in Ontario. The revoit is against laws which prohibit stores remaining open on week- day evonings, and the spark behind it seems te ho public demand for the con- venience cf evening shopping. Although there was the usual objection te Bowman- ville merchants shifting the old establish- éd custom from Saturday evening te Fri- day evening shopping it is now accepted as a welcome habit. In St. Catharines about 30 stores are reported open on Fniday evenings, among them 15 wornen's and chiidren's wear shops. Special by-laws were necessary te *aâliow the ciothing stores te stay open fer business and t is reported that men's wear stores are now petitioning for the same permission. Iu Windsor three super- .markets, ail independents, defied the local 6 p.m. ciosing on a recent Friday and the owners say they will appeal their case right te the Supreme Court if necessary. Some people who visited Moscow during the period of the "phouey peace" cf lasl *summer stili taik and write in giowing terms cf what they saw. Some were im. *pressed by the famous Moscow subway, but failed te note that the reason for its *existence is that Soviet workens, unlike workers in Canada, are unable te affon< automobiles. Others were irnpressed by the agri- cultural and trade exhibitions, but were ne boss remiss in failiug te note that the communist wvorld, ideally situated fron the standpoint cf clirnate aud geography *te grow wheat, has been forced te import wvheat and butter from Canada and other parts cf the f ree worid. * Still others were irnpressed by the grandiose plans described te them by officiais of the worid's biggest bureaucracy, but failed te note that seldom if evor were *foreignens invited te visit Moscow f ac- ýg st ýg :e dT .t r e ed and shared in the benefits cf this annual event. The syllabus for the Peterborough Music Festival te ho held May lOth te l9th is now available. It offers an opportunity te young performers te test their progress in public and in thé trained ear cf expert judges. It offers mature, advanced stu- dents a suitable occasion te subject their work te the highest critical standards. This is an excellent musical encleavour and valuable te a very wide district cf East-Central Ontario. Teachers, parents and perfermers should acqualut them- selves with the festival syllabus now. Copies cf syllabus may be had at The Statesman office, or write direct to Secre- tary, Mrs. A. D. Vaesey, 644 MeKellar St., Peterborough. lu Kitchener a survey cf public opinion turned up the fact that more than 75 per cent cf persons interviewed favored even- ing shopping. Ontario's early closing iaw dates back to the last century. It is a provincial statute that requires any mnunicipality te enforce a 6 o'clock clesing on ail stores in any field if three-quarters of the merchants in that field petition for an eanly ciesing by-law. Living conditions have vastiy altered since the law was originahly passed. Many wives like te shop in the evenings because thon they can get their husbands te go with them on a once-a-week shopping expedition. Also, se many husbands and wives both work, particularly when first married and saving te establish a home, and for them Friday night is a most con- venient shopping time. Living habits have changed, but the law hasn't yet caught up with that change. tories or Soviet homes. Perhaps the Most significant omission in ail the news stories and articles which have been written about Moscow in rocent mouths is the absence cf any reference te freedom cf speech. Nobody bas written from Moscow, as they do from London, te tell cf soapbox eratons denouncing the goenrnent and indulgiug in criticism cf iudustry, the army or the oducational systein. Fantasy, after ail, requires more iiterary talent than fact when it cemes te writing. The idea cf a soaphox orator in Moscow, however, 15 tee staggering a bit cf fantasv for even the rnost experienced writer cf fiction. Aaron Mosher Wants Miracle Canadian Cougress cf Labor President Aaron Mosher, like the Aarnnof Oid Testament fame, must believe in miracles. Unlike the biblicai figure who smote the rock with his rod and provided the thirst- ing Israeiites with water in the midst of the desert, labor's Aaron Mosher wants the Federal Covermemnt te perforn the miracle. Unfortunateiy for Mn. Mosher, the Federal Government possesses ne mystical powers. It is unlikely, therefone, that Mn. Mosher's demands, set forth in CCL's annual brief, and inciuding iower taxes, highen incorne tax exemptions, special ai lowances for wholly dependent chiidren, payment cf ail medacai bilis, free unem- picymeut insurance, abolition cf the sales tax, and a hostq of other incompatible re- quests, will ho met. Prime Minister St. Laurent and his cabinet coileagues, te be sure, waut te do weil by ail Canadiaus, inciuding union rnembers. Being oniy human, and fair- minded men at that, it is unlikeiy they wlll try te work a miracle along the lunes suggested by Mr. Mosher, when te try ta do se wouid be te undermine prosperity and prejudice national progress for ever and a day.

The television idea is being tried as a less .:ý- pensive and more effective a!- ternative. Ordinariiy, neither the gallery or the TV will be used. Only when pilfering uf the public mail is suspected will they cerne into operation and then, only outside inspcc- tors will bc allowed te make use of them. no local member et the Post office staff will be .permitted access te the viewing screen-not even the postmas- ter. Many factories are already using TV in the United States for similar activities. The Shipment of Armi Quit. an issue has been ra*s- ed ever the shipment cf arms te Arab and Iýraei countries. For a wvhile, until the full de- tails were presented, it did ap- pear that we were favoring the Arabs by permitting an or- der for 15 Harvard trainers te go there. Later, however, Mr. Pearson disclosed that carefut consideration is given te any requests frein outside countriis and that cver $2 million worttî cf nilitary equipinent had been shipped te Israel during the past twe years and $771,121 worth te Egypt. However, in view cf the storm which even these comparatîvely sinali shipinents have hlade here, it would net be surprising if ail future requests for aid from either country were turned down-at least until conditions there cool off considerahly. Ilealth Insurance Coming Biggest news cf the week has been the efforts of the fed- eral and provincial govern- ments te get together on some sort cf health insurance seheme.
