The Oshawa Jimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Saturday, Moy 30, 1959 Lure Of Cool Lakes Can Lead To Trouble This is the time of year when people start to think about the advantages of owning a piece of property beside a cool lake or river, Such thought often leads to 'action =~ and embarrassing land en- tanglements, unless the buyer is pru- dent, Last year the Ontario department of planning and development found it necessary to issue a warning about the activities of some land operators. The minister himself stated: "In recent weeks it has been drawn to my atten- tion that a number of persons have found themselves in unfortunate situa- tions as a result of certain land deal- ings and trancactions . . I consider it my responsibility to attempt to reduce in every possible way the chances of repetition of such situations , . , The techniques of operation of these land 'operators' are most varied and com- plex, so I will not undertake to outline them here, except to say that these transactions all appear to be character- ized by the offering of 'wonderful' building lots at unbelievably low prices and the act of transferring all responsi- bility to the purchaser." Several simple guides were offered to those thinking about buying lots: The property should be inspected to see if it is as suitable for building as advertised, The buyer should make sure that the property offered is in fact the property which will be ultimately trans- ferred: there are instances where per- sons have been shown lake shore prop- erty and found later that the land trans- ferred was several hundred feet from water--or, shown a beautiful lot and later found that their deed entitled them to a rock outcrop or piece of mus- keg. Lots should not be bought by refer- Dangers To Ontario's chief coroner, Dr Lawson, has declared war on plastic containers, These transparent shiny bags used by dry cleaners to make their jobs more attractive, have claimed the lives of 28 children across the United States, A Windsor child smothered to death in one of them, The way to death in these innocent looking bags has been explained to par- ents. The little one pulls it over its head. When a child inhales it sucks the plastic into its mouth, It does not spit out as readily as it inhales and unless prompt succor is at hand the little one smothers. Plastic containers are providing one more danger to the little ones, who are beset on all sides by potential death from fundamentally innocent things, made dangerous by their curiosity and grasping hands Dr, Lawson is calling or a ban on these containers, calls them "suicidal" dry cleaning bags. He is reported to have said that "T complained about these murderous bags once before and got my knuckles rapped by the plastic bag peo- ple. I don't care how much they com- plain, I am going to say: Ban these bags." Smirle ence to a plan which has not been re- gistered; under Ontario law ii is illegal to sell or otherwise transfer property by reference to an unregistered plan of subdivision, A lawyer should be consulted to en- sure that the title to the property is clear, Many purchasers have found, as a result of "do-it-yourself" title search- ing, that they have put themselves in a position of negotiating with a vendor not the owner, Municipal office: should be checked to determine what bylaws have been passed which would affect the use of the property; there may be minimum lot area and frontage require ments, or restrictions on the use to which the land may be put, Commitments associated with the pur- chase of the property should be thor- oughly understood. Is the purchase price of the lot the 'ast financial commit ment, or will the buyer as a lot owner costs of survey, re- gistration, provision of water and sew- age services, construction of roads and so on? The services the municipality or the developer can and will provide should be determined. Who is to provide the roads necessary for access to the property? If the area is not suitable for wells, who is to build and maintain the necessary waterworks system? If the soil is not suitable for septic tank op- eration, who is to construct and main- tain the sewerage system?' Who is to provide fire and police protection? Reputable real estate firms welcome thought and care by a prospective pur- chaser, They are in business to stay -- and their business depends on their good name, It is only the shady opera- tor who tries to rush the buyer into a fast deal. He foiled if the intended victim refuses to be rushed Children If Dr. Lawson is sincere in his efforts to keep the children of Canada from death he should not stop at plastic bags which have claimed the life of one child Only a cursory perusal of a daily newspaper will give the doctor much more fruitful fields. Tricycles ridden by little ones on urban streets bring death to far more tots than plastic cone tainers ever will, Tt is doubtful if Dr. Lawson will have much success in hav- ing the manufacture of tricycles stop- ped. More youngsters in Canada have lost their lives locking themselves up in discarded ice boxes than plastic con- tainers will claim. But it is doubtful if there will be any demand to abolish the manufacture of refrigerators Automobiles are taking a greater toll than war, We will espn right on mak- ing automobiles Youngsters are being killed far too often operating farm tractors. There is no agitation to go back to horses Plastic containers are far down on the list of potential deaths for children. But banning them will not likely solve anything so long as young ones can outlast and outsmart their harrassed parents and find new and innocent worlds to conquer and make dangerous. be responsible for is Chicago And The Queen When Big Joh Thompson was mayor of Chicago, he gained a form of notoriety by promising to aim a hay- maker at the late King George the Fifth if the British monarch ever set foot in the Windy City. It mattered not that the king and the mayor were total strangers. It did matter though that an election campaign was being waged in Chicago and Big John's carefully cal- culated bombast was aimed at nailing down the support of a certain element The late king never found it possible to put Big John's boast to the test, but come July 6 next, and the king's grand- daughter, Elizabeth the Second, will be a distinguished visitor to Chicago. Big Iohn is long gone, so it's not expected that there'll be any hangover from his celebrated statement.

In Ontario almost half the voters express dissatisfaction with the current program. In the Eastern provinces and the West, about a third of the adult men and women have criticisms to offer Those who are satistied feel this way, in the main, because "we seem to be doing all right so far." "Our defence program is costing a lot--so it must be good," says another large group. The larger force of about four in ten across the nation as a whole are critical in most cases, because they feel that Canada is dropping behind in the protective strength of a sound defence pol- fey. "We need more aircraft, more radar, more research' these citizens insist. Another large proportion believe that civil defence is not organized and that the country is ill-pre pared for war Interviewers for the Gallup Poll rang door-bells to ask this Important to keep up-to-date; question of a scientifically selec- ted cross-section and the adult population in every part of the country: "ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE PRESENT CANADIAN DE. FENCE POLICIES, OR DO YOU THINK THERE 18 NEED TO TAKE A NEW LOOK AT OUR DEFENCE POLICIES?" Satisfied Need a new look ..... No Opinion rons 324% 42 26 H0% 49 per cent think look" is needed cent are content with matters as they are In Quebec the largest proportion (35 per cent) say they have no opinion to give on the question, while 34 per cent are dissatisfied and the remainder, 31 per cent, leased with the situation. The est is highly critical with al- most half disapproving the present policies, and only about three in ten reporting satisfaction Where does basis for complaint lle? In response to the Gallup Poll's question, those who object to the current policies gave these reasons: our techniques are out In Ontario that a 'new while 20 per dated; we ave dropping behind; we need more air-craft, more research, more radar; ralling behind Russia We don't have enough defence; ill-prepared for war; civil defence not organized; need more of everything; should spend more on defence We depend too much on the U.S, The U.S. has too much to say in our defence. Judgment of the Government is poor; made several mis. takes lately; poor planning; not organized enough" Too much defence spending; too much waste; spending wildly, We're a young country spending too much for all the good it will do. Need more educa"on on facts granted without defence; people informed; people are apt to take should keep things for Gov't, Forces are inadequate; need compulsory service; more training and more men; cutting down armed forces too fast; need more reserves Miscellaneous . in terms of general discontent Can't give a reason for dissatisfaction (Some gave more than one) The one in three who said they felt defence policies were quite atisfactory had this to say: We're doing a good job now; munitions; we have most modern equipment; pienty of regiments and going ahead and spending a lot, so it must be good.

This election it ie in. Sud. bury. At writing both Premier Frost and Liberal leader Winter. meyer are booked for the nickel town on the same night, This probably will be changed. It rep- resents the closest thing to an outright jam in scveral years, however, In 1955 all leaders were erowding each other for a week and by coincidence -it was again in the Sudbury area but they didn't get to the stage where they were actually booked for the same town on the same night SPEECH TACTICS Delivering four and five speeches a day can be hard phys- ical work. To meet this and keep a bit of energy most leaders adopt various tecnmques, Pre mier Frost adopts the tactic of low-keying- his addresses almost throughout. He tries to "chat" them rather than fire them and only once or twice will hit a high spot of emphasis, This is probably one reason why he has stressed "receptions" rather than meet. ings. They lend themselves more to informality and chatting--even i there may be 1,006 people lis tening to them. Mr. Wintermeyer has a different technique. He gives a two-tone speech. The Lib eral leader can reach highly dra matic peaks But to conserve his energies he coasts between the peaks. He will deliver a point with great em- phasis, Then he will "talk" his way for the next few minutes CCF Leader MacDonald, on the other hand, gives all he has most of the time, usually making an emotional speech. Mr. MacDon. ald, however, for the most part is nol making as many speeches per day as the other two lead ers MEAN ANYTHING? Frantic efforts are still being made to get some novelty in the TV presentations. And with the efforts there is a controversy over whether novelty is worth. while. Political veterans are in clined to scoff at the attempts to vary the presentations, Young blood in the parties and their professional advisers believe in something new, however. The problem is to get any good de. cision on results, The Liberals had a small girl ask leader Win- termeyer questions in his first telecast. Some observers frankly were much less impressed. But a large number of phone calls were received praising the show, The most novel PC effort had Premier Frost acting as MC for a group of his cabinet ministers, Again there were people who were on the phone saying the show was good. The question, of course, is whether these people would not be on the phone even if the gentlemen concerned were reciting Little Red Ridinghood. There can be no one so blind in his loyalties as a political sup porter who wants to get a bit of attention, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Today's college student feels insecure," says an educator, In these days and times if he didn't feel insecure, he'd he a rare ex: ception "Simetimes 1 wonder if the good don't die young," said Old Sorehead, 'because they get time off for good behavior "Bride Exchanges Frilly Night. gown for Cookbook."

By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON = The long-suffering British people are slow to anger, but announcement that all rall- way fares are to be increased by 50 per cent, and that the season tickets used by millions of workers to get to thelr jobs are going up by 20 to 25 per cent, has really aroused their ire, On top of that, there will be no special low early morning fares, And all of this adds up to a substantial Increase in the cost of living for workers who have to use public transport to get to their places of employment, The reason, of course, is that the nationalized transport system has been losing money at the rate of millions a year, The 1958 deficits in the neighborhood of five million pounds, and that is a considerable reduction from previous years, So the Transport Tribunal, which adjudged its claims for higher fares, has felt obliged to grant the railway"s re- quests, although not at as high levels as had been asked ALL FARES HIGHER Second class railway fares go up from two pence to three pence per mile, and first class fares from three pence to four pence half-pennr, fuet 50 per cent, The rallways asked for a 50 per cent increase in season ticket rates, This was refused, but an increase of from 20 to 25 per cent grant ed.

Yet the situation has to be faced that 'since national zation, the railways have been a losing proposition, .and some. thing had to be done to give them a chance of at least breaking even, The new rates are expect. ed to give them a small surplus by 1061. SIR DAVID SAYS "NO" Sir David Eccles, President of the Board of Trade, must have learned the old Methodist hymn, "Have Courage, My Boy to Say 'No'," in his younger days. His Russian counterparts are finding him a tough customer to bargain with in trade matters. According to reports from Moscow, where Sir David is trying to make a he has been giving a persistent "No" to the Russian proposals, Thus the official report from the Board of Trade here in London is that the negotiations are going very slowly" and have run into "great difficulties, Sir David has felt obliged to answer in the negative the Rus slan requests for extensive credits, the plea that Britain should bur more ofl from Russia, and to requests that the strategic goods embargo be raised by Brit. ain on its own. It is rather pleasing to British observers to find someone on this side adopting a tough attitude with the Russians, At the same time, it will be an answer to American criticisms that the British are falling over them. selves to make trade and eco- nomic agreements with Russia, There will, of course, be some concessions on efther side, and there will be a mutual trade agreement of some sort, but it will not be along lines dictated by Russia, GILBERT-SULLIVAN Before leaving for Russia, Shr David Eccles wae involved in an. other matter in which he was under considerable pressure, but in which his answer was also in the negative. He had been pre. sented with a petition, signed by half a million people in many parts of the world, asking hm to Institute legislation to extend per- petually the copyright on the Gil bert and Sullivan light operas, The petitioners wishes legislation to prevent people altering the words of these operas, whose copyright expires in 1061 Sir David has replied that he cannot "undertake to introduce any such legislation, 'I do not believe," he said, "that legisla tion designed to treat these operas in an exceptional way for copyright purposes would be ae- ceptable or desirable."
