"At one time we were bored by our ancient history lessons or geography dealing with these parts of the world: To-ay we learn 'our history and geography by a new high- pressure method that steams out of the boiling pot of trouble right up into our very faces as we look or listen for the daily news, ' We get the headlines out of this sort of information--mostly sparked by terrible nightmares of fear--but we rarely look be- yond the headlines. In spite of imminent disaster negotia- tions of one sort or another have somehow been maintained by breaks of violence. We ° have been close to holocaust--too close but we have somehow managed to put it off a bit longer, . Meanwhile constructive measures are being taken by both the Western World and Russia to help raise standards of living and Colour Parade In this colour-minded age car manufac- turers are autdoing themselves trying to please the colour-minded buyer. ..One manufacturer has 26 different colour com- binations apart from staple line of one colour cars which serve as a stock in trade. The buyer selects the combination he wants and a special order goes from the dealer to the plant. Along with the colour scheme must go details about the interior trim for each model offers a wide choice in trim to match, There seems to be no particular trend in colour. All kinds of combinations seem to sell. Some are quite pleasing but others are like something out of a bad nightmare or the D Ts. In" America we don't seem to hold any fast colour taboos . . with regard to cars, "that is, But in England one rarely sees a green car because of a superstition that green is unlucky for vehicles. Nor could you sell red cars in Japan where that colour . is reserved for fire-engines and mail trucks to help broaden and deepen the base of "education for the backward peoples of the wofld. « : "In spite of all, their enmity both great ~ powers are building dams, teaching people new and better farming methods; teaching in the schools and training citizens to be community and health minded. All the organizations of the U.N. have made real contributions of great value even after their blunders have beén subtracted. It is possible that we have greater pow- ers of ingenuity than we give ourselves credit for. We are fighting for self-pre- servation and it is slowly getting through our heads that helping others is a selfish and selfless way rolled into one. Perhaps some of the scientists Russia is turning out may get a wider vision of world significance .than the Russian leaders expect. Perhaps spme of our young engineers and doctors working on the Colombo Plan have exerted more influence in the way of ideas of de- mocracy and general decency than we know. - 4 . only. White cars would have no market in China for there white is the traditional colour of mourning. } Every year the manufacturer of motor cars is faced with the problem of finding some new approach to the buyer. For the past two years it was horse-power. Each company tried to out do the other until the new models were turned out with fantastic ratings. However, the type of advertising and the increase in the accident rate brought heavy criticism and the manufac- turers say very little now about horse- power and speed; this year and next they will concentrate on colour. It is a rather happy expedient too, because it permits the manufacturer to raise the price of stan- dard models. A special colour scheme costs more and so does the special trim which accompanies it. But it certainly complicates the business of selling cars and many dealers must often wish for the days when ninety percent of the cars were black; nine percent blue, and" the rest grey. ~ District Doings "Company dates back to the early ~_._in Newcastle . . the forerunner of the MANY PLANS FOR NEWCASTLE 100th BIRTHDAY Plans are taking shape for New- castle's 100th anniversary with a four- day centennial celebration scheduled to begin Friday, June 29, to Monday, night, July 2nd.

"Some come here through a government loan system. We wish to do the same, profiting by your longef experience." 'Mr. Ahmed explained that Pakistan, formed as a 'nation only eight years ago, was not putting into effect an ex- tensive village aid plan in conjunction with a comprehensive agricultural loan system. A Pakistan has settlement problem, with 86 per cent of the population al- ready engaged in farming. The loan system is needed to purchase modern equipment and improve agricultural methods on existing farms. Main crops in Pakistan are cotton and wheat. Mr. Ahmed left his home at Lahore, Pakistan, last July. He studied com- mercial banking methods in London, to Canada in March. The eastern provinces, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, have already been visited by Mr. Ahmed. - He will leave here for Regina, and the U.S. His tour will end in about three months at Montreal, PURCHASE OF HYDRO SYSTEM COULD MEAN LOWER RATES Pickering Village Coune¢il has asked the regional office of the Ontario Hy- dro for a preliminary survey to see if it is economically sound to purchase their system within the Corporation of this village.

Turner, his wife, Shirley, and and their two children, Lorraine, aged three, and Janet 18 months, were in- jured in an auto accident which de- molished their car, on April 7th, 1955. The accident occurred on Highway 7, near Madoc, when their car was in col lision with another vehicle driven by Cecil Long, of Marmora, ; His Lordship ruled that Long was entirely to blame for the accident, which occurred when Long turned his vehicle immediately in front of the Turner car, Mr. Turner suffered bruises, and strained muscles, from 'the mialap, while his wife sustained body injuries, facial injuries, and a torn lip. The two children suffered bruises and shock. Mr, Turner was awarded $2,600.00; Mrs. Turner was awarded $2,300, and their children were awardéd $200 each. Turner was represented by A. W. S.

WHITBY TO HAVE SIX NEW STORES Six stores will be built in a one- storey structure to be constructed on the Roblin property, Byron Street, im- mediately south of the Legion Hall. The building will be constructed by the Reedaire Construction Company of Ajax. Rumored for some time, the pro- posed building is reported to have en- countered difficulties in planning, but these have now been overcome. Early rumors around town indicated that the entire corner section was included in the proposed construction. However, present plans do not include the con- demned for human habitation buildings on the southeast corner of Byron and Dundas streets. OSHAWA CITY PLANS INVESTMENT - Alderman Gordon B. Attersley, chairman of the finance committee, an- nounced at City Council meeting on Tuesday night that surplus city funds will be invested in'short term treasury notes sold by the Bank of Canada. Alderman Attersley gave -a reason for this note buying. Higher interest can bé obtained through treasury note investment than through bank invest- ment, he said. ._ He said that the city has a substan- tial surplus of funds at the moment be- cause it is early in the fiscal year, and a lot of people have paid their local taxes before the due date. Wednesday morning that the city would buy government treasury notes at a discount' price (i.e. below face- Bank of Canada by September, at face- value when the city needs the money. Clipped Comments CMHC PULLING OUT OF PLAY A move which may have a great bearing on the future development of the Town of Ajax has been announced. The Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. has notified the town council that it proposes to dispose of all its extensive holdings in the town, and pull out of the community entire- ly. The CMHC at present holds about three-quarters of the town's area, in- cluding residential, commercial and in- dustrial properties, and .some 2000 acres of undeveloped land, Facilities such as the water system'installed by the CMHC, are being taken over by the town, which is also to acquire the steam plant, an important asset from an industrial point of view. While it «is logical that the CMHC should wish to dispose of its holdings in Ajax, the citizens there will regret that this is to-be done. The corpora- tion has been a very significant factor in bringing industries to Ajax, and in saving the community from becoming a ghost town"at the close of the second world war, . Since it took over the Ajax: properties from the Crown, As- sets Corporation in 1949, it has been responsible for most of the industrial, commercial and residential develop- ment of the town. Thanks to its par- ticipation in the development of Ajax, the fears once held that it would be- come a deserted village wére proved groundless, and it has become a thriv- ing and growing community, Even with CMHC out of the picture, there is a gréat future ahead of Ajax: The pattern laid down by the corpora- tion in making it a planned commun- ity has been followed faithfully, and will probably 'céntinue to guide direc- tion of the town's growth, Its hoped that the properties to be disposed of by the CMHC will fall into the hands of people willing to continue the work of development which has marked the town's progress so far, ~--Oshawa Times-Gazette City Treasurer, H.

In most cases it reverts to parent delinquency in- that children are not properly disciplined. In some cases, particularly in cities, the kids are allowed to run wild like young wolves while irresponsible par- ents are spending their evenings in beverage rooms guzzling beer. On this subject of delinquency "we were attracted to an address Rabbi Abraham Feinberg of Holy - Blossom Temple," Toronto, gave recently to a confirmation class of 53 boys and girls. He said there are seven reasons why juvenile delinquency is no bro- blem among Jewish youths, and listed them as follows: A strong family, a centuries-old habit of self-discipline, a low alcoholism rate among Jewish par- ents, a deep appreciation felt by Jews toward Canada and unstinted and in- comparable expenditure for religious education, Gentile parents might well take note of the above reasons put forth by Rab- bi Feinberg instead of thinking up all sorts of flimsy excuses as to why pampered and neglected children get into all sorts of devilment which is em- barrassing to their parents when they are brought into police court to ac- count for misdemeanors. --~Canadian Statesman. SMALL TOWN ARENAS TAKING A BEATING-- Despite the fact that arenas across the land are now admitted to be a vital and important asset to many a small community, it nevertheless cannot be denied that these recreation centres dre also quite a headache. When the arena and recreation centre in Lind- say, which Avas originally built by the Kiwanis Club, was handed over to the town while there was a debt against it: ,of some three thousand dollars. Since that time artificial ice was add- ed and the centre expanded in other ways. When the people voted on the matter of installing an artificial ice plant and voted favorably it was un- derstood at the time that the Centre would probably never pay its way but citizens were content to pay an extra three thousand dollars in general taxes in order to have some recognized place where boys and girls could congregate, play games and be gainfully occupied in" their leisure time. The Kiwanis Arena still pay dividends in that re- spect, The Wiarton Express has this to say regarding arenas and recreation centres: A"From reading many Ontario news- papers, we discover that the falling re- venues of community arenas have be- come a provinee-wide problem, After the last world war, there was an epidemic of arena-building in small towns. Many of the structures were erected with almost Byzantine-disre- gard for simple economics, containing theatres," dance floors, recreation and lunch rooms, ns well as ice surface and seats, "In many cases, municipal poten- tates, who found the icy water of de- benture-issuing for the arena quite re- stalled artificial ice plants, As a re- sult, many a smallish community now has an investment of somewhere in the neighborhood, $1,000,000. "This is all very well, and worth somedigging for the taxpaper, if the community centre and arena is supply- ing a recreational and cultural need. "A few years ago, the big buildings were doing this, Besides drawing big crowds for hockey they brought to the people of small towns the chance to enjoy figure-skating, drama groups and the ultimate in Canadian culture, bingo on a big scale. "But, alas, enter the villain, All those television aerials which so often resemble a large tail wagging a small living faith, a realistic love of life, af" freshing, took another plunge and in-} dog, have cyt swiftly and deeply into 'arena revenues; afiether fact is that there simply. isn't as much money arodnd, at least in this area. "Many a small town is aghast at the amount of money that will have to be coughed up by the ratepayers to cover arena deficits, * "Last year, and this was before tele- vision reception became a fact in this area, Wingham arena lost more than $3,000! Walkerton arena showed a deficit of $12,240.70; Durham lost about $2,000. It is likely these de- ficits will be higher this year. "In Wiarton, we are chipping in ap- proximately $3,000 a year from taxes, to pay the debentures on the arena. "It's going to be tough' for arenas, with the possibility of many unhappy returns, Watchman-Warder ---------- Greenbank W. A. The regular meeting of the W.

Riding Although various committees of the House of Commons are still sitting, and the members are considering the policies of the particular Departments as well as their estimates, the main theme in the House is the Trans. Canada pipeline debate, This debate, at the time of writing this column, is half-way through and will be in the hands of the Senate for their consid- eration before the end of next week, Another late sitting was experienced on Tuesday, May 22, and the House did not rise until Wednesday in the small hours of the morning, There were two amendments to the main motion to be considered. The first, submitted by the Conservative Party, was to the effect that Bill No. 208, which is the bill dealing with this subject, be not now read a second time but that the subject matter thereof be referred to the Standing Committee on ailways, Canals, and Telegraph Lines. This amendment to the main motion was submitted by John Diefenbaker, M.P. for Prince Al- bert, after he had made a two-hour speech in which he reviewed the vari- ous aspects of the Trans-Canada Pipe- lines since their incorporation in 1951. The purpose of the amendment was to refer it to the Committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraph Lines so that this Committee would be able to call in witnesses to give evidence and sub- missions, and also to ageept any pro- positions by Canadian private invest- ors to construct this line. He was followed in the debate by M. J. Coldwell, the Leader of the CG. C. I. Party, who stated that he was in accord with the Conservative amendment, but at the end of his speech he moved an amendment to the amendment "that the amendment be amended by changing the period at the end thereof to a.comma, and by adding thereafter the following words: 'So that consideration might be given to- the advisability of recommending. the construction and operating of a Trans-Canada natural gas 'pipeline under nyblic ownership." This amendit¥iit" to the amendment elimin- ated any other consideration by the committee, and the result was that Conservative members of the House, including .myself, were unable to sup- port the amendment to the amend- ment. It has been the position of the Conservative Party -on this matter that every consideration should be given to have this line built by Canu- dian private enterprise with their own financing first; failing that, the Con- servatives in the House were prepared to recommend a government - built line. ) : After the vote was taken, Stanley Knowles, C.C.F. member, rose and challenged the right of "Carl Nickle, Conservative. Member of Parliament for Calgary South, to vote on this matter. Mr. Nickle explained his po- sition, stating that he had disposed of all interests in oil companies that had anything to do with Trans-Canada Pipelines, thereby. making his posi- tion free in the Hopsd of Commons to participate in the debate and in the votes. Amid cries of "Shame" hy the Liberal Members of the House, this motion of Mr. Knowles was disallow- Although Mr, Nickle has consgist- ently voted against the Conservatives on this matter. Mr. Drew rose to his defence and pointed out it was the privilege of any Member in the House of Commons to express his views and vote as his conscience dictated. The Prime Minister for the first time also participated in this debate, and came to the defence of the government's policy and stand on the Trans-Canada Pipeline. ed, It is unfortunate that this whole matter has been delayed to a point vide closure on the debate on the various stages of this bill, The Dominion Bureau of Statistics' report, dated Friday, May 18, 1056, showed that estimated labour income was 9.659 greater in February this year than last year. This increase was spread through all industry groups, Average hourly earnings of wage earnings in manufacturing reached a new peak of 148.6 cents as of March 1 this year.
