Cl'.lARLOTTI:3'Il0WN FRIDAY. OCT. 6, W50

Still Smoking

When firemen have stayed the progress of a blaze and prevented it from destroy- ing the community there is no question of disbanding the fire brigade. - The outbreak of Communist aggression in Korea has been quelled by the energy and sacrifice of United Nations forces, principally Amer- ican, but there is no reason to believe that the threat is extinguished or that other outbreaks will not occur almost anywhere in the world. i

There is bound to be a feeling of let- down both amongst men who have joined the services at the height of the emergency and among others who were on the point of fc-'.1ov.'ing their example. It cannot b2 too strongly emphasized that our armed forces are vital to the safety of democracy and will continue to be as long as the men in the Kremlin hold to the policy of ex- tending their rule by threats of force.

It does not detract -from the glory of MacArthur's forces to observe that it was not they who prevented the Chinese and Russian red armies from entering the fray. It was the power of a world in arms that made any such enterprise far too danger- ous to risk.

This country must and is steadily strengthening its arned forces and by so

. doing helps to.make aggression far more

costly than tempting.

Traffic Lights

The recent demonstration of traffic lights at City Hall before members of the City Council, the Board of Trade and other citizens has again stirred up inter- est and controversy as to the merit or de- merit of installing such a system of traf- fic control in the city. It appears that the majority of the Board of Trade and others who have discussed the matter fa- vour the installation of traffic lights at certain intersections. The main contro- versy which is likely to arise when further steps are taken in the matter will be i' a type of system to be installed. When Mayor MacDonald went into the matter some time ago and reported that the cast of placing traffic lights on six or seven intersections would be in the vicinity of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars.

about the advisability of incurring such an expenditure in view of the fact a number of those interested felt they could be placed at a very greatly reduced -figure. From the demonstrations this week it can easily be seen that both the Mayor and his cri- tics were more or less correct in their stand, as they apparently were consider- ing two entirely different traffic Iight con- trol systems. The type of signal the Mayor was referring to was a Traffic Actuated Traffic Signal System, while the others were thinking inlterms of a strictly Time Interval Traffic Signal System. It seems apparent from quotations held by Coun- cillor Cox that the former system is much more expensive than the latter, but in the long run might be more effective.

iidges As Mediators

Mr. John T. l-lackett, K. C., prominent member of the legal profession and former parliamentarian, expressed a thought re- garding judges who act as conciliators in labor disputes whldi has troubled quite a few serious students of public affairs in recent years. "Judges", said Mr. Hackett, "lower the dignity of their office by acting as conciliators. There has been some loss of caste from such service." His observa- tions were supported by other prominent lawyers and jurists attending the joint ses- sions of the Canadian and American Bar Associations in Washington, D. C.

, Mr. Hsckett's remarks point-to i.he an- schronisms of public policy in respect of labor disputes. Such disputes have not yet been publicly recognized as pi-opcngrist for the mill at the courts of law, mainly because there is not sanction whereby the p mmendations of s conciliotor may be on oi-ced. Labor conciliation boards, not being courts of low, do not enjoy freedom from comment on the part 'of'uie press ind public whiiq deliberations-arc in pro-

may be the time to revamp attitudes to- wards labor disputes, and to ask whether what is needed is not a new body of juris- prudence to govern the settlement of dis- putes in this field, just as disputes in other fields where public interest is at stake are dealt with.

New York has been 'told that its parking. regulations and habits are helter- skelter, its traffic conditions in general are hopelessly bramble-tangle, that most of its traffic confusion results from prolong- ed parking on either side of the street and from the New Yorker's fantastically non- chalant double parking.

In Defence Of Youth

In his opening address to staff and students f Toronto Univer- sity, Presldent Sidney Smith "5" no room for doubt about where he stood, on the matter of the standing of present day youth.

"I must confess," he said. "that I am somewhat weary of the re- peated utterances 'cf Jeremiah: and Cassandi-as of an older gener- 'stion who bemoan the weakening of the fibre of Canadian Youth. Ignorant, irresponsible and postm- istic are some of the adiectives that are applied to YOU- YOU "0 doubt have already learned that in every succeeding older gener- ation msny persons have walled that youth is not as good as they were when they were young. To the harsh critics of modern youth I sunetimes retort that through- out history youth were never in the eyes of many of their elders very promising. Baldness, bulges. bifocal: and bridges have a ten- dency to produce forgttfulness of the critics' own juvenile short- comings.

"I recall clearly that in the dis- mal thirties many persons describ- ed the youth of those years as empty-headed and light hearted- wim a lie that was!

"The Go Of Things"y I

(The Times, London)

A President of the British Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science mm-t feel that famous ghosts crowd behind hils chair. The names of the holders of this of- fice since l83l, when the first meeting was held, are the roll-csll of nearly all the greatest men in British Science. Ill-health kept Darwin out, but there are few other notable sbsentees.

Famous contr versies. too. must have echoed in Birmingham re- cently when members of the As- sociation assembled to hear Sli- Harold Hartley deliver his pres- idential addi-es.s. . .

The foundations of belief and knowledge have been explored over the years on these snnusl cc- cssions. The lay public was soon made aware of the importance of this representative body to s just appreciation of man's place in the universe.

There was, it is true, a brief per- iod of scepticism and even of some mockery. The British people does not take experts lightly to its bos- om and before the Association came to be listenbd to, year by year, with respectful tittention it had to prove that it had something interesting to say.
