The Osha Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. $., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Soturdey, Merch 21, 1959 Fishing Licences Could Help Conservation Idea There will be a tremendous outery if the Ontario government approves the {dea of fishing licences for residents The government is thinking about it, Lands and Forests Minister Spooner told the legislature's fish and game epmmittee this week that fishing licen ces for Ontario residents and a point stem for hunters similar to the high- way demerit system may be instituted sbon. "The day is not far off when we will get into an organization like that," he sald. The demerit system for hunters will find few critics, As the minister sug- gested, it is not unreasonable for hunt- ers to expect to lose their licences for violations of hunting regulations. The institution of fishing licences for On- tario residents would be another mat- ter, ' There are arpuments for and against the licences, but when the pros and cons are balanced, we believe that the licensing of anglers would do more good than harm. Indeed, the move is probably inevitable. Considering the heavy and increasing pressure on fishing waters in Ontario, and the amount of work the department of lands and forests has to do to main- tain stocks of fish, greater control of anglers is necessary, A licence system would be one way of obtaining that control, It would provide funds for bet- ter enforcement of fishing regulations and it would help to impress on the angler the fact that the waters are for public use not private plunder. There is no doubt that present en- forcement is neither broad enough nor strict enough. There are not enough conservation officers and there is not enough of an educational effort made to acquaint anglers, particularly those newly arrived from other countries, with the regulations and the reasons for them, Ignorance of the law is, of course, no excuse, but how does a man who reads little or no English, who has no conservation-minded friends, and who has had only the bad example of Cana- dian fish-hogs to follow, learn about the regulations? If he had to buy a licence, at which time he would get a copy of the Ontario regulations, he would have no possible excuse, The licence, coupled with swifter and sterner punishment of offenders, would do much to reduce the illegal taking of fish, To get some idea of how extensive the illegalities are, one has only to watch at a creek mouth or on a dock at Lake Simcoe during the spring perch run, Scores of fishermen pop every= thing they catch, no matter what the size, into sacks that are heavy with everything from fingerling bass to spawn-heavy pike by the time they quit fishing. The Sleep Of Herring Herring are pretty mixed up bunch of fish, if Russian scientists are to be believed, Soviet fishery experts aboard the sci- entific submarine Severyanka have been spying on herring. They report that herring are sound sleepers on win- ter nights, and are late risers, usually not awake until § am. But the way the herring sleep is a puzzler. According to the Russians, "some hang as if dead, turning thir bellies up: others stand on their tails or heads: others recline on their sides; why they do this we do not know as yet." How the herring sleep is, of course, their own business, We have been just as baffled by the way a teen-ager can read a book or talk on the telephone while twisted In the most extraordinary position, It is possible, too, that herring are like people, who, according to psy- chiatrist Dr. Alexander Lowen, express their characters in the way they carry their bodies, curl up in bed, fold their legs under tables and so on, All this is probably of absorbing in- terest to herring and scientists, What concerns us is the observation about the length of the herring's sleep. That is an avenue of research that should be vigor- ously followed. The sleeping habits of fish directly concern millions of people. For years we have been getting up in the chill pre-dawn in hopes of outwit- ting the wily bass or sulky trout, If only neurotic or insomniac fish are awake during those early hours, we want to know about it, Defence And Imports Thoughtful Americans are just as con= cerned as Canadians about the U.S, pol- ley of using defence as an excuse for protectionist quotas on such commodi- ties as oils and certain metals, An ex- ample of critical U.S, opinion is the fol- lowing editorial from the Christian Sci ence Monitor: "The harder we look at the imposi- tion of quotas on petroleum imports the curiouser and curiouser it looks. Es- pecially as a defense measure. And it is put forward chiefly as a means of in- suring supplies in wartime, The argu- ment is that unless American produc- ers are assured a larger share of the domestic market they cannot maintain the exploring, refining, and shipping operations to insure oil were outside supplies shut off, "At times we have been told that this need not mean an increase in prices. But immediately following last week's announcement of mandatory quotas came a price boost in some areas, And it is only reasonable to suppose that if domestic production is more costly high= er prices will be required. So this meth od means that to help domestic produc- ers prices must be raised--or at least held up--on all consumption. "We have been told also that the de- pletion allowance of 274 per cent on taxes was intended to enable producers whose wells were being depleted to ex- plore for new supplies--for their own benefit and the nation's, This subsidiz- ing of exploration has been sharply questioned. It also is defended as a de- She Oshawn Simes T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager, €. GWYN KINSEY, Editor.

"It is well known that Canada and the United States are considered a unit for defense, Indeed, their air de- fenses are linked. In wartime Canada could be an Indispensable source of oil and gas supplies. All the arguments for developing United States supplies as a defense measure apply equally to Cana- dian supplies, Instead the quota system retards the opening of Canadian fields and the building of pipelines. It also slaps the United States' best customer in a very tender spot. Strange kind of defense!" Other Editor's Views 25 YEARS FOR DRUNK DRIVER (Edmonton Journal) About two years ago a drunken driv- er in one Russian city who injured twe pedestrians was jailed for 23 years. In another city, a drunken driver who kill- ed a man was sentenced to death. Punishment, no matter what the crime, is apt to be sever in Russia. * Nonetheless, wthout going so far as Russia, if we were to adopt tougher penalties for traffic law violations, we soon would develop more respect for our traffic laws and our highways would be much safer, OLD RED REFRAIN (From the New York Herald Tribune) At one dull stage in the foreign min« {sters meeting at Berlin in 1954, Secre- tary of State Dulles proposed an ad- journment with the remark: "While I can keep awake indefinitely under the stimulus of new ideas, T find it very difficult to keep alert when an old re- frain is played time after time after time." The Soviet Union clearly is convinced that diplomatic repetition is the soul of emphasis: at any rate, on the German question, it is again playing the old re- frain of 1854, which was itself an echo of the song the USSR piped in 1952, Bible Thoughts Patience is well doing. t RA .

OTTAWA REPORT By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Public objection to strikes among utility workers such as transportation, gas, hydro and so on, has swept to an all-time high. Today, across the nation, six in ten men and women say these strikes should be outlawed. Less than half this number believe the right belongs to all workers -- in- cluding those in the public serv- ice. Objections on the part of a public which, as the Gallup Poll has reported for years, has a strong faith in unions and the right to strike, centres mainly around the belief that utility strikes disrupt the public service too much, and that the people should not suffer in disputes re- lating to worker - management conflicts. A drop in public sympathy for strikes in utilities has been re- corded by the Gallup Poll stead- fly, over the years. In trend studies showing the tides of pub- lic opinion as they rise and fall, the Poll has kept a close watch on many phases of Labor inter- ests. For this one, as for other trend studies, the same question is used. It is put to the voting public in a scientific cross-section + of the nation as a whole. "DO YOU THINK VOTERS IN PUBLIC UTILITIES SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, GAS, HY- DRO AND SO ON SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STRIKE, OR NOT?" The columns below show the steady downward trend in sym- pathy for these strikes since 1952, Tempers Run High On Newfoundland By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The House of Com. mons enjoyed a brilliant perform. ance last week by an MP who, although he had only just cele brated his 43rd birthday, holds the important and respected posts of justice minister and attorney general of Canada--Hon. Davie Fulton, of Kamloops. B.C. For several days tempers had been running almost as high in Parliament as in the woods of Newfoundland. The premier of that province, Hon. Joey Small- wood, had cast aside his vaunted role as "the happy little guy with the big bow tie," and had emerged as what one CCF mem- ber described as "a would-be Hitler." In an attempt to break the striking International Wood- workers of America union, he had passed legislation decertifying it. Thus, as the prime minister told Parliament, Mr. Smallwood had "greatly aggravated the present situation in that province by intervening in a labor dispute in a way which apparently goes beyond the usual role of govern. ment."

Under a clause of the Canada- Newfoundland contract unhappily bearing the number 13, the attor- ney-general of the province can, in an emergency, ask for more men. 'Canada,' says the con- tract, must comply with the re- quest "if, in the opinion of the attorney general of Canada, hav- ing regard to the responsibilities and duties of the force, such in- crease is possible." It was the RCMP superintend- ent in Newfoundland who finiti- ated the request for more men; later he asked that his request be held in abeyance. Meanwhile Commissioner Nicholson assem- bled 50 men from other duties in the Maritimes, and chartered a UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Visit By Macmillan Rouses Great Interest By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Prime Minister Macmillan's visit to Canada and the United States is arousing even interest In the United than did his visit to Moscow. Public opinfon has been stirred by reports from the Unit. ed States that there is consider- able resentment over there at the lace of leadership which has n taken by Mr, Macmillan in the councils of the Western Powers, a place which was held by John Foster Dulles before his unfortunate illness. There is general satisfaction in all the press comments that Mr. Macmillan has done as much as he has to restore British pres- tige and influence in the West- ern group. The suggestion that advantage was taken of the ill- ness of Mr. Dulles to take over this leadership, voiced in the United States press, had been completely rejected by the press of the United Kingdom. On the contrary, the view is taken that Mr. Macmillan has risen to this status because of his courage' and determination in going to Russia, and because of the obvious re- sults of his trip in bringing about a much less belligerent attitude on the part of Mr. Khrushchev, Mr. Macmillan's visits to Paris and Bonn seem to have been very successful. Reports of his talks with President Eisenhower and the Canadian cabinet are therefore awaited with the keen- est of interest. Should they re- sult in a solid, united front being achieved by the four Western powers, there will be good found- ation for the belief in this coun- try that Mr. Macmillan has fully earned a place of leadership in their councils. Politically, Mr. Macmillan's ventures are paying off. In the latest public opinion poll taken by the Daily Express, the tide, which had been running against the government during the win ter, has turned. The percentage of those who said they would vote Conservative if an election were held now jumped to 44 per cent, 'while the percentage favor- ing the Socialists has dropped to 41 per cent. The greatest gain is in the vote on whether or not those ques- tioned were satisfied with Mr. Macmillan's leadership. A month ago, 59 per cent were satisfied. In the latest poll, the figure jumped to 67 per cent. Thus-it is noteworthy that Mr. Macmillan's gain in public approval has been much greater than the gain made by his party, significant as it may be. | DIVIDE INDUSTRY The Socialist party is by ne means united on its policies for re-nationalization of steel and other kev British industries. The Co-operative Union, which forma a substantial part of the Soclal- ist party's backing, has come out strongly against the nationaliza- tion of the distribution of coal. This is one of the key points in the strong Miners' Union plat- form, In its monthly magazine, the Co-operative Union describes demands to nationalize coal dis- tribution as "quite unjustified." The article suggests that the Coal Board with virtual mon- opoly powers, had priced tselt out of the market. It added "The Board is run for the public good, not simply to pro- vide employment for miners or coal dealers, co-operative or otherwise." This attack on the nationaliza- tion policies of the Socialists, by one of closest allies, shows that there is by no means unanimity in the party's ranks on the sub- City of London, the financial heart of the country, Canada has jumped into the lime- light in a favorable way. The annual report of the Hudson's Bay Company, issued in London from the company's head office, shows profits increased from a net figure of £2312,000 to £2,637,000, a much better result than the market had expected. Shareholders will receive a divi- dend of 24 per cent, up four per cent from last year. The other anouncement which focussed attention on Canada was to the effect that Canadian or ders worth three and a half mil- lion dollars have been placed with Brit'sh firms. These are or- ders for A new submarine cable system between the Canadian mainland and Newfoundland, to cost two and a half million dol- lars, and a million dollar order by the RCAF for electronic gear and equipment. This evidence of Canada's will- ingness to give large contracts to British firms is being contrasted with the difficulty similar firms are experiencing in securing bus- iness in the United States, in spite of having by far the lowest tenders. Large headlines in the financial pages of the London newspapers paid tribute to Can- ada for this contribution to Brit ish dollar exports. Meanwhile, a man whose or- ganization pulls in more dollars for Britain than any other, is on his way to Canada and the United States seeking more dollars. He is Sir Arthur Morse, head of the British Travel and Holidays As- sociation, whose business it is to "sell" Britain to tourists from Today's informative item, lifted from the Boston Globe: 'Sex, spelled backwards, is unpro- nounceable." "I've lived to be 100 because 1 have done something useful every waking minute," says a centenartan, And he calls that living | other countries. Last year, the "Come to Britain" campaign brought over 350,000 visitors from Canada and the United States, and over £60,000,000 in dollars, an increase of 22 per cent over 1957, Sir Arthur, who is to spend the next six weeks visiting the main cities of Canada and the United States, hopes to do even better this year. plane to fly them to Newfound. land. Attorney - General Fulton, exercising his duty under the contract, ordered that the dis. patch of this reinforcement should likewise be held in abey- ance--not countermanded. Commissioner Nicholson thea resigned. This at once made the New- foundland disturbance a political issue in Ottawa. It already con- tained possible political advant- ages to Premier Smallwood, as a perfect curtain-raiser to a snap provincial election. At this stage Attorney-General Fulton took his political life In his hands--and achieved a great personal triumph in Parliament, MASTER AND SERVANT This former army major, who served overseas in the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada in the Second World War, does not lack courage; this scion of B.C. pre- miers does not lack political acu- men, He accepted Nicholson's resig- nation, then assured Parliament that the responsibility to decide whether or not to send reinforce- ments to Newfoundland was his alone, as attorney-general of Can. ada--and one could almost hear the words "their's not to reason why" as applied to his subordin- ates of the RCMP. What is the role of the com- missioner of the RCMP? Is his relationship with the attorney- general that of a deputy minister with his cabinet minister? Is his function to supply the smooth run- ning of the force, within the framework of the policy laid down by the cabinet? a -------- io FOR BETTER HEALTH Mothers-to-Be Advised Dental Care HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD A tooth is lost for each child That story has been going around for a long, long time. But don't you believe it! I think this legend probably can be traced back to the days when it was erroneously believed that it was harmful for an expectant mother to have any dental work done. Naturally, this meant that the teeth of a mother-to-be were ne- glected for nine months or so. Quite often this was long enough to permit at least one tooth to become decayed and lost. In reality, not only is it safe to £0 to a dentist during pregnancy but also definitely advisable to do so. Unfortunately, many uninform- ed persons still believe that an expectant mother's saliva con- tains an unusually high amount of acid. They still think that preg- nancy drains calcium from the feeth. Let me make this as definite as I can -- neither of these be- liefs is true. Important Extensive clinical studies -- re- liable studies -- clearly indicate that the average rate of dental decay during pregnancy is no dif- jofent than at any other time of e. However, in some cases, dental decay does increase during preg nancy. When this occurs, don't blame the expected bahy. Blame the increased consumption of sweets, poor mouth hygiene and failure to have regular dental ex. aminations. Expectant mothers, especially, should follow the advice I have been passing along for years -- brush your teeth after cach meal, Twice a day is not enough pro- tection! Moreover, mothers - to - be should see their dentist every three pr four months. Any tooth that is badly infect. ed can be carefully removed dur- ing the period of pregnancy. It might be advisable, however, to check with your doctor about it first, And by all means let your dentist know that youp are nant before he pulls the tooth. MAY inion Corset Fashions!
