i J from the Editors Notebook a and Express Hydrogen bombs may be set off there may be radioactive tuna fish more evidence of in ternational espionage may be discovered but the most dis turbing fact is that the town clock has not been working all week We first noticed that the clock was stopped on the week end and that the clock faces were darkened at nights The clock was the foremost tonic of Main Street discussion groups and during coffee peri ods it took precedence over pockmarked windshields yes- Mechanical failure is reported to be the reason for the situation at the post office tower Town clock specialists were expected to arrive yester day from Toronto and we were anxiously awaiting a diagnosis of the clocks condition There were rumors which one would expect that a mouse had been caught in the works but these were denied sent a photographer over to the clock on Tuesday Our plan was to photograph a re pairman up in work ing on the mechanism with hammer and pipe wrench and examining the machinery with a jewellers eyepiece Such photograph could not be taken without an official letter from Ottawa or the district office at Toronto we learned Maybe the reason for the clocks failure is that the works are tangled up with red tape Ginger heard a report that it was radioactive worked with former fighter pi- tots of the German air force One of the immigrants had en gaged

surrounding district to loot Street last weekend The crowds were so large that even the subway minutes behind schedule A parade is always an attrac tion for children and adults alike- popularity of the Easter parade suggests that something of the sort might be done at in future years Easter usually falls on one of the first weekends in the springtime when you can get out of the house go for a walk or drive and take in some of that new fresh air and sunshine Everyone wants to see out side activities after being shut up ail winter long The little lady is anxious to see what others are calling hats this year and show off her own new Even the male who buys a new spring suit at least wants someone to see it People certainly are in the mood for such an event as an Easter parade It would be a good annual project for the merchants of Newmar ket or the chamber of commerce one which no doubt would be popular with townspeople and others in the district MORE LICENSE SUSPENSIONS It was suggested in the House of Commons recently that a DominionProvincial conference be held to reduce highway fatalities The suggestion made Davie Fulton Karaioops and supported by Stanley Kriowles Winnipeg Shaw Red Deer was hot opposed by Justice Minister Garon said he doubted if such a meeting would accomplish much lie pointed out that the provinces have jurisdiction over highway regulations He added that the suspen- of more licenses would prove to be a far greater penalty than any fines that could be imposed Motor vehicle accidents claim 2000 lives in Canada Last weekend was the first big weekend of the warm weather season traffic accidents took their usual toll The weekend was a hint of what is to come this summer when more automobiles will be on the roads The tragic part is that the careful drivers are included in the list of victims A man known to be a careful driver was killed when his car was struck by an oncoming vehicle which was passing another at crest of a hill- What can be done to prevent such care lessness it has been suggested that governors be put on the motors of cars to limit their lop speeds to miles per hour This of course would prevent careless driving suggested that conference could deal such matters tests equipment such as brakes headlights and steering also speed limits and minimum age limits for operators Mr that greater emphasis should be placed on the education of in safe driving habits- would seem that the more licenses is the most effective meansMted Judges and magistrates should to suspend drivers licenses operators are foiihd of violations as Mr I to suggested of fender usually fears the loss of his license more than a fine WHATS RIGHT WHATS WRONG Although there may be diplomatic over the incident the exdiplomat in Australia

retaliatlrin on members of the family has an impact on the mind of the Western who life in lira free world and life Sim Oil other hand the story of the Hbomb list in the States being us a seeur- risk seems to harm the cause of the free world From all fir is a rare typo of not only a scientist hut linguist and poet one who feels Clint science should not ho divorced from tho humanities He is as a man who felt a m m responsibility to the betterment of mankind Because he at one time was opposed to the US proceeding with Hbomb experiments he is now being criticized Yet who cannot be opposed to such terrifying power J at least to some degree He is being criticized for favor ing the Loyalists during the Spanish civil war Yet who did not sympathize with the Loyalists in the days before World War Then it they were fighting Fascism Volunteers from the US and Canada not necessarily communists were taking part in the struggle Such sympathy which was once popular in the United States is now considered to be a crime it seems SALVATION ARMY APPEAL The Salvation Army accepts not only the of helping those in its own ranks but ail others as well William Booth the founder of the Army once said The world is our parish Wherever man is found the Salvation Army tries to meet both material and spiritual needs In Newmarket and district the needs of the lonely the dying the hungry and the con fused are responded to by the open door and the heart of the Salvation Army 7 A call at am was made recently from the Pro vincial Police district office here to the Army quarters The query was Can you find accommodation for a family of seven which is stranded The family had been evicted from its home and ted been trying to locate accommodation all not met with success Through the Salvation Army in Newmarket they were given accommodation and food until they could locate proper lodgings Another example of the Army work came from a letter received by the Captain in Newmarket from the Salvation Armys prison chap lain It was stated that a prisoner about his wife and family He had not heard from them but knew they were to move and that they did not have pro per furnishings for winter weather family was visited prayer was offered and clothe food fuel and a stove were provided In the past year other services were rendered all of which come in the line of the days activity for the Army Refreshments are served to cold and weary fire- men Assistance is offered to those unfortunate vic tims burned out An emergency call hospital is answered A man is dying and wants the Salvation Army officer to see him a Who is not connected with the Army and who does not attend church regu larly Probably the Army is upon the street with a message for all he feels that the Army is his shepherd Any veteran will have a good word for the Army The work of the Army is carried out without highly paid personnel Members of the Army have dedicated their lives to service What money is raised once a year

third world war The Financial Post asked a group of Canadians their views Some fear that a race in nuclear weapons could reach a point whore someone would get triggerhappy Nuclear weapons are perfect weapons for international political gangsters The can be used as an instrument of international blackmail Out of these and other fears it is suggested that tho free world must step up efforts to convince the Communist world we will never attack move more speedily toward building some form of world government generally increase It is that It would be a mistake to agree to ban the Hbomb because
