It was not the feuit of the officiels hast year thet ne one believ- ed them when they strcssed they would met extend the deadline fer issuance cf plates, but rather the feuit was with previeus administrations which hed treat- ed a "definite" date as sornethîng flexible te be extended tirne and again, thus ci-et- ing a series of crisis, says the Napane l'st-Express. Even with the experience e! iining up for heurs ta purchase their plates a yeer &go, the public is egain bcing apethetic about the dcadline lcss than a weeck awey. A gr-et many more people have pur- chaed thei- plates carlier this spning than has been custornary in the past, but there is stili ne reason why the wvhole matter cannot be handled casily and without any queue. After lest ycar's experience, we have net found a single persan wha be- lieves the deadline for purchesing auto- mobile licenses wili be extendcd pest Mai-ch 18 thîs year. The public had to be shown te be convinced. They were shawn once and they believe it now. But e vest znumber ai-e still lcss then enthusiastie A forward step in ferm accident pi-e- vention was realized recently when mare than 300 persans representing 55 Ontario counties and districts, endorsed a propos- ed farm safety program which will essist in preventing needless loss cf life and in- jury that is ail tee cemmon on farms today.

He can see that money must be spent on public highways and for traffic contrai. This is easily related in his mind ta the money he spends on gasoline tax or license plates. It is easy for the outsider to suggest ways and means of improving and speed- ing up construction of highways. For in- stance, this newspaper is convinced that if Highway 401 were pushed through more quickly, the volume of tourist traffic would increase enormously as would trade and commerce between Eastern Ontario and Toronto. There is rarely objection to the volume cf money spent on roads in the province aside f rom the complaint that it is not large enough. A more frequently heard complaint is that funds are handled in a hit or miss manner to satisfy local conditions rather than thnough adoption cf an overaîl plan which would start con- struction cf a highway at point A and end it at point B. result only fi-rn research on actuel farrm accidents. And once the research is cern- pleted, safety programs can ' be devised which are based on actuel farming con- ditions. The survey will be based on a record of ahi fai-m accidents over a one yeer period. Although the surveys will be pravince-wide in scope, the prime ob- jective will be ta pi-avide a county and district farm accident pictune se that e specific safety pi-agi-arn can be undertaken for each area. The surveys will be con- ducted rnainly for farm people and ahi reports will be confidentiel inasrnuch that nernes of persans an-d locations cf farms will net be revealed. The co-operation of rural people is earnestly solicited se that an effective farma safety pi-agi-arn may be dcvised for Ontario fai-m people.-Uxbridge Times- Journal.

A MacDuff Ottawa Report 'The Wood Choppers' BatP oTTAWA - Newfoundlalid, Canada's saltiest, youngest and Most independent province, celebrates its tenth birthday this month as a member cf the family. Çoinciden'tally, It is trylng te lead the way in checking the advance cf international trade unionism. In daing so, It is bucking a nationwide trend and bringing Ulnes cf worny te the foreheads of political lead- ers in the other nine provinces. The action of Newfoundland's bouncy premier, Joseph R. (Joey) Smallwoed, in declar- ing open war on the Interna- tional Woodworkers cf Amer- ica is being watched clasely by bath top management and ar-- ganized labor throughout Can- ada. If Mi-. Smallwoad succeeds in ridding his territory of the militant IWA - and his pros- pects are good-it may serve as an incentive ta other unian- busters ta try the same act. They are not, however, likely ta achieve the same success. Newfoundland is different. As Canada' s youngest province -and incid'cntally, Britain's oldest clony-it has had the least experience o! the so-called Canadian way. And what it has seen of it via the invasion of the IWA it doesn't lik2. The IWA turned up on the island nearly three years agi, on the invitation o! a sieepy organization of working loggers called the Newfoundland Lum. mermen's Ass ziation. It de- cided ta organize the island's logging industry. The NLA gat shoved out in the process, and the first of a series of rival- ries and bitter exchanges crop- ped up. By 1958, after a series of con- trîved setbacks by the prov- ince 's two big pulp and paper concerns, the IWA won certif i- cation as bargaining agent for the 8,000 bush warktars employ- ed by the Anglo-Newfound. land Development Ce. But its exaltation was short-lived. Af- ter a brie! hassle o! contract talks, negotiations broke dowri and the IWA applied for and got a government-sponsored conciliation board to hear iti case. The board unanimously re- commended a five-cent pay increase for leggers (fi-cm the current rate cf $1.05 an haur) and a reductiori ln working haurs fi-rn 60 te 54. The cam- pany, even thcugh its ewn nom- Inec had signed the report, turned the deel xdown flatly. The IWA accepted. The union teck a strike vote, and armed with a 98.8 per cent approval of its membershlp, struck the AND Ca. operations cri New Year's Eve. Since then It's been a story of bitterness. After 48 days o! picketing and repeatcd clashes involvlng violence on the pieket lines, the IWA called on Premier Small- wood ta intervene. He did-by calling on the laggers ta chuck out the IWA. He labelled the sti-ike a "civil war". The AND Co. and the other big mnill, Bowater's, becked up the premier with a stetement saying they would neyer-ne- peat, neyer _ sign a contreet with the striking union. A flur- ry o! court actions resulted. The IWA sought ta prosecute the premier for unfair lebor prac- tices, followed that up with a $300,000 libel suit on behaîf o! its thnee senior officers.,It gave notice c! a similar prosecution o! the twe companies. Premier Smallwood, warm- ing ta his ta.sk o! ousting thLe unwanted union, got blenket endorsement fi-rn the provin- cial House o! Assembly te or- ganize a new, "independent"' (but government - spansored) union o! laggers. The fiery lit- the Liberal premier won stnong backing fi-rn church groups the province's newspapers and even other international trade unions. Despite complete determina- tion o! the strîkers ta cari-y on as long as funds lasted, it will be a victory for Smallwood. but in a sense a defeat for New. Ioundlend. For the prevince's labor laws will have been roughly shoved aside in the process. For regardless of the merits o! the arguments pi-o and con the IWA, it's a fact that (a) the union was choseri by Its members, and lega1y' certi!ied by the Newfoundland'l government, and (b) Mn.
