Publishers WIEDiNESDAY, AFRI, 8th, ,.1959 NOW TO MAKE USE OF 1,T It was with someincredulity that the public , greeted the prospects of improved railway: paafenger service on the Kincardine to'Palme- ton branch : line. , They had :become'resigned to the out- t- . moded service of the horse -arid -buggy days, and seldom- used it. But, whenever the CNR moved to curtail or abandon. a service that was not ,'economically sound, there was a A. great.hue• and dry allalongthe line to keep.; these , : comparatively.- : empty trains running.. Thiswe could never see. i t; was, we. felt, either- a case -of ``im-'' provedservice if feasible. •and practical,;; or for the railroads to get out of the' passenger business on such branch. 'lines.:..: / The new railiner service -to be institut- ed in June, will provide Modern:. comfort ra el'with,fast'stos`and's-eed accel- eration, v . • P •..P y , eration, that.. will considerably; cut the tra •Toronto, ._. vel bine. between Lucknow and with prospects of even greater time savings after crews have ` the new equipment in act- ual operation. With highwayhvay and city motoringb e- coming'' more congested, "•fast train service should have its appeal." Bus ' service, so: far as Toronto }tra.yellers are concerned, has never been ,good;fr`om here. The mofar'rear '' has been the CNR's chief competitor, and will still be faster than the Railiner. But, there -is much to be said for boarding a reasonably fast and , comfortable railway coach, ' and relax rather than battling ', the g late -afternoon bumper -to -bumper motor traffic out of the ' city It may take some . time to "win back" railway patronage and it is ''to be expected ° that railway officials will be aware of this ,. and give the new service an "extended trial „period that will extendover the winter" , , months. -The new service , will have ' to be sold to the public.' It remains with, the railway , to do this, and with railwayemployees to • give their: utmost in =courteous service: to ., the travelling public, in an : effort to re -es- tablish what could be a new era in branch` dine/railway travel. And .finally, the • future of railway pas- senger service on these lines, rests solely upon public patronage, If` the response war .rants it, such service •will no doubt be con- tinued. If not, it will, :inevitably sound the death knell to passenger service ofany. kind. • • TEN YEARS ' OF NATO • The ; tenth anniversary ,of the signing of• the North, Atlantic .Treaty, on April. 4, comes 'at a new period of tension which. underlines ; the importance of NATO tor. the security of the western ; world, The threat from Soviet imperialism that led toy the formation..of:NATO is as real. as ever. The need for; continued unity on the part of the NATO partners is fully: as great . as it, was ten years`,ago. NATO was formed in the f irst'instance . . to halt the westward spread of Russian do- ;. mination which had already swallowed . up the satellite ;states, =of eastern Europe.. In:' ' this. task, ' it has been fully successful. Its deterrent ;power;' has ; held Russian military• expansion in check in the vital area of..,wes- tern : Europe, and . has ' :forced Communism to `'turn to other areas and other ` methods in pursuit of its world-wide' aims. Currently, Red China's violation of Tibet and the mur- der of °its `practically. defenceless people, is • still further ' proof of the ruthlessness of purpose of .Communism. and arl This shift in'tactics,. articulpy, the Soviet campaign of infiltration in Asia and the Middle. East, has 'presented ° the. west with new and serious problems. Yet if these} problems are to be solved,• it is ;vital that' the deterrent in ' Europe should be maintainedat.an;,effective level. Any weak- ening • :of. defensive strength in `'thisarea would not only; open the way to new 'Soviet thrusts, it would. -make it still harder—Pe- haps even impossible to stiffen the' uncom- mitted,„ nations of. Asia and. Africa in their. resistance to, -Communist. pressure. / • NATO '; thus remains . the cornerstone - of the Free World. `Its effectiveness. rests on the' continued 'unity' and. resolution of the western democracies, •and not :least, of the three English-speaking : ' democracies that form • the ' North . Atlantic Triangle. This is. an enterprise•in whieh',Canada . has plaYed,, a significant . part • from the beginning. In'. her own national. interests she must continue ..to: make her • fullest possible' contribution ..during the' years' ahead. With wo"ihen it seemsto 'be, if the shoe doesn't fit wear it.. Bird luck often comes from waiting loo •long for a soft snap.. A fool and his ; money are soon invited places.
