The decision to use such a. means of curbing speeding violations was made recently by the Ontario Po~ lice Commission. ‘ Presently, because of insufficient ltafl, the Ontario Provincial Police have been forced to provide service Selectiver and have not been able to {mtrol all accident prone areas. Thus, he commission under the chairman- ship of Judge Bruce J. S. MacDonald have chosen an alternative to addi- tional staff â€"- the use of unmarked cruisers. Our traffic ofiicers will now assume the role of spies in disguise, furtively waiting for highway crim- inals to break the law. One of the several lessons that can be learned from the Maple holo- caust is that the public should refrain from flocking to a disaster area. Fol- lowing the devastating explosions Saturday evening people from a wide area beseiged Maple from every dir- ection. Police reported they were from as far away as Lake Siche and Oshawa to say nothing of the large number from Metro itself. The large number of parked cars on the Maple Sideroad made it im- gassable and the Richmond Hill Fire rlgade had to lose valuable time trying to reach the disaster area via an alternative route. When disaster strikes trained personnel are needed In his monthly report, OPP Com- missioner W. H. Clark stated that an effective patrol system was the surest way to reduce accidents. We are in- clined to agree. 7 A sad but logical conclusion was reached recently by the Ontario Com- mittee on Children at a Toronto con- ference. Child creativity is contrary to the modern world’s materialistic outlook, said Dr. Keith S. Armstrong, director of the Canadian Council for Cripp_l_ed Children and Adults. But the police commission say such a system would prove too costly. The last special traffic squad operat- ing within the OPP was disbanded in 1940 for this reason. Yet today in 1962, with our traffic volume mounting by leaps and bounds, it The 50 child development experts present at the conference agreed the stress today is placed on the mone- tary value of work. We as a whole tend to look upon the remuneration as the chief end to man's existence. This trend toward emphasis on monetary values is being reflected in the present legislation governing funds for vocational training and placement of displaced persons. In his address, Dr. Armstrong stated that the federal government argued time and money spent in this kind of training would be repaid by the train- ee many times through income tax once he was employed.

Jamming the high- ways with people and cars can only result in greater human suffering and property damage. The police have to throw up roadblocks around an area in order to keep the curious from hampering rescue operations. Regardless of how many times they are warned a great many of our citi- zens seem intent on rushing to the scene of a tragedy. Actually the mat- ter of life and death are involved and people should remain put and let those specially trained to handle dis- asters move quickly and easily to the area. People who impede the efforts of police and firemen should be dealt with firmly in the courts. The only effective deterrent to traffic violations is the use of regu- lar patrols in marked cruisers man- ning all our highways. The familiar sight of the black and white patrol cars is in itself, reassuring to motor- ists. It’s a welcome sight indeed to the stranded driver miles from the nearest service station. Lastly, the familiar police car patrolling the highway has a sobering effect on the driver with the heavy foot. The solution to slaughter on our expressways must be found regard. less of the price we must pay for such measures. It is doubtful that the re- turn to a system once discarded is the ansWer. The problem still remains. A comparison of property dam- age caused by accidents on our high- ways and that of the entire budget of the OPP, shows the latter greater by several times. It is impossible to compare the loss of life that occurs almost daily, with the necessary funds for the operation of a special traffic patrol. In view of these facts it seems inconceivable to term the op~ eration “costly”. would seem obvious, that such a squad was essential. A desperate social need exists for ‘creative individuals in our world of commercialism. What place in our modern society with its emphasis on crass materialism would the great artists of the Renaissance have; the sculptors; the artists and the poets whose work today after centuries graces our galleries. It is difficult to conceive greats such as Michelangelo, the Italian sculptor, the culminating genius of the Renaissance, or Rembrandt, the renowned Dutch painter, being pro- duced in our world with its modern ideology. Where would our best loved poets, Shakespeare, Bacon, or Milton fit into Our society. Possibly we could financially utilize their great talents in 1the writing of soapbox commer- ma 5. are to survive culturally.

Toronto Work is more advanced on the foundations of the boiler room. The concrete footing has already been poured in this area and a start has been made on forming the walls. This room will be 24 feet high. Good weather is a necessity if the project is to be complet- ed on schedule, Mr. Stewart stated. He estimated that a rainy day puts the project two days behind. Right now there are about 25 men working on the project. Peak work force on the job will be 150 men, Mr. Stewart esti- mated. He noted that the amount of labor necessary on such a project had been cut drastically in the past 20 years. He sug- gested that this was the result of better methods as well as increased mechanization. Mr. Stewart predicted that all work would be going on in~ doors ‘by the beginning of De- camber. The hospital is slated for completion by the end of 1963. ‘. Ottawa" THE IDEA BEHIND SHARE-A-LOAF PROMOTED BY WOMEN’S INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM The origin of the Freedom From Hunger Cam- paign was set up in July 1960, by the Food and Agri- culture Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations, in an endeavour to speed up efiorts towards eliminating hunger and want in the vast areas of the world. The Campaign continues for five years through 1965. It calls on the participation of governments, the United Nations and its specialized foundations, civic and religious bodies, and men and women of good will everywherez Projects like this will, of necessity, form an in- tegral part of the activity. In Toronto, the WILPF have already launched their Share-A-Loaf Plan where- by they supply members and their friends with a coin card and ask them to place one quarter â€"- 25c â€" the price of one loaf of bread â€"â€" each week in the card. and when full, return it to the bank address that is indicated on the card. Proceeds will be turned over to the national committee and through them to the international body for a specific project. Here is how you can help. Study the problems that exist in the various areas of the world where hunger, dis- ease and lack of knowledge prevail. Form a discus- sion group on the subject. Give publicity to the campaign in your locality, among your friends and neighbors. Persuade organizations to which you be- long to take part in the Freedom from Hunger Cam- paign. Have a speaker on the subject for your group. Ask for a Share-Aâ€"Loaf card. For further informa- tion, write or phone to Mrs. Alan Beckwith, 7 Mars.- lim Road, Richmond Hill, TU. 4-5767. Broadly speaking, its goal will be to make it possible through technical and scientific education, for under-developed countries to help themSelves in producing ample food for themselves. These will be three-fold. The awakening of a world-wide aware- ness of the problems, causes and remedies of hunger and malnutrition through public education. 2. By promoting research to fill gaps in knowledge and pro- mote new techniques. Immediate action will be taken to achieve gains in production, distribution and con- sumption of foods. This includes study of soils, seeds, animal husbandry, pest control, water resources and especially nutrition. This will be done by having each country establish a National Campaign Commit- tee of its own, to plan, stimulate and co-ordinate activities of all co-operating organizations. Canada with 29 other nations has established a national com- mittee. Thus the Women’s International League For Peace And Freedom, believing that poverty, hunger, and disease are results of social, economic or religious conditions leading to war, have worked consistently with all agencies whose aims have been to alleviate these conditions and to establish peace, justice and freedom in the world. The WILPF is giving its whole. hearted support to the campaign. The fear of hun- ger, poverty and insecurity is an innate and perhaps the greatest of_ all enemies of peace. 7 I dislike talking about trouble but since everyone is worried to death about nuclear war and the threat of annihilation, I feel rather ashamed to orifess that I’m upset by such a mundane thing as \, lain, ordin- ary dust. I object to it on the grounds that dust is one of the worst scourges that an ordinary housewife like me has to face outside of such little troubles as domestic squabbles, the price of meat, and the kids total leek of understanding the previous generation. In books on the art of housekeeping, I read such things like if you keep your walk swept and wiped off the silt and grim from your window sills that you‘ll keep most of the dust out of the house. Well, I tried that . . . and it just doesn’t work. The only thing that was improved was the appearance of the walk and window sills. The dust kept coming in, just the same. Exactly the ame amount of dust appeared on the piano, the end tables. and under the cheater- field, and in the radiators. The same thing with the bedrooms. You can turn the mattress and air the 'blankets every day of your life, but exactly the same amount of dust meets your discouraged eyes. If you leave the dust for one day it is bad, but if you leave it for two days, you’re in danger of blocking the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. Now I ask you with such a formidable enemy as that, why hasn’t society tried to do something about that problem. Instead they seem to be helping Old Mother Nature add to this inevitable, sneaking nemesis that dogs the poor housewife at every turn. Not only the housewife, but industrial workers have big problems with dust. Thousands of workers are exposed to dust particles seeping into their lungs, blurring their eyes, stopping up their ears and blunt- ing their senses in general. Air pollution is one of the most serious problems of industrial centres. Public Health officials are constantly alarmed about how these pollutions will affect the human body. Of course scientists are working on this problem but so far . . . like the problem of saving the world there seems to be no effective solution. It just looks as if all of us, housewife included, must learn to live with the dust nuisance, even while fighting its inroads. At least we can be philosonhical about dust! Only 20 years ago there were no starlings in On- tario and 40 years ago there were none in the United States. Apparently someone in New York thought it would be a. good idea to see European Starlings in Central Park. It was a disastrous success and they have been such successful immigrants that they have become the most abundant species in all Ontario. We see them in towns and cities, about buildings and lawns. As we drive along roads we find them set- tled and feeding in flocks or sitting in rows along fences. Starlings have a habit of roosting in enor- mous numbers in shade trees and making the even- ing hideous by their chattering. Everywhere and at all times starlings are in evidence, and all these from 120 birds imported to one city in 1870. The starling is a strong, aggressive and greedy bird, apparently determined to succeed and not particular by what means. His only real competitor in the city is not a match for him. If a pair of starlings want to nest in a certain site occupied by sparrows, the sparrows have to get out. The chief menace of the starling is not his food habits, his disagreeable congregating or his apluttering unmusical notes, but the fact that I he wants and will have by force the nesting sites of 1 The bluebird, the flicker, the more desirable species. crested flycatcher and the purple martin must make way for him. . annoying cooking odours. . and a club) is being advertised as “Held Over”. . . .

How did a large gas stor- age depot come to be establish- ed in a residential community? Since most of the properties destroyed and damaged were of the older type they must have been there before the gas com- pany arrived in 1946. The time has surely come where legisla- tion should be introduced 80 that Saturday‘s tragedy can never be repeated. New and saf- er methods of storage should be investigated. Why not under water? The minimum area own- ed by any gas company for a storage depot should have de- finite limits and should be lo- cated at least two miles from any residential area. Finally. and this surely points out the complete lack of regard for safety precautions in this case. night watchmen should be com- With so many new foliage‘ plants and flowering plants for windows and home decoration, some gardeners may be tempted to overlook such old stand-bye as begonias. You can find a be- gonia to suit any location in your home and they take kindly to culture under fluorescent Lights too. ' Begonias thrive in a Warm, humid atmosphere and if they do not have enough humidity edges of the leaves are likely to be brown and they will yellow‘ and fall from the plant pre- maturely. Set the potted plants in larger containers, packing} peat or Sphagnum moss between the two and keep this moist at all times. The air rising around your plants will then have a mist of humidity in it that will make them grow like mad. This is also excellent for all varieties of African Violets. Begonias detest being over potted and they do not grow in pots without a drainage hole in the bottom. Water from the top with luke warm water until it runs from the bottom and do not water again until the top of the soil feels dry. They love conditions in a terranium and an old discarded aquarium is ideal for this. Place half an inch of pebbles and crushed charcoal in the bottom. (Take the charcoal from the barbecue supply). Then at least three inches of regular potting soil mixed wlth some sand for good drainage. These ternariums grow best in an eas- “Dear Mr. Editor ” , )econo/ 3Aouqéld.

These on-the-scene parasites should be dealt with‘ severely and in future heavy fines should be inflicted on any- one who hinders the authorities in this way. It is to be hoped that those people who have been charged with ‘trespassing’ will all draw severe sentences when they come up before the magis- trates. pulsory and full time Saturday's tragedy gave us many things to think about. Here in Richmond Hill we have have a gas storage plant located very close to a large apartment block.
