N The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Saturday, March 26, 1960 Canada Should Declare 9 Feelings About Africa / The Canadian government has been exceedingly circumspect in its references to the in South Africa, Diplomatically, perhaps this is racial disturbances the proper thing to do--to avoid even the suggestion of interference in the domestic affairs of another country, par- ticularly a country that is a member of the Commonwealth family. But there are times when the stress of events is too great for the niceties. When one member of a family acts like a thug, there is little virtue in trying to put family loyalty ahead of responsibility to the rest of the community. Loyalty can be misguided, and propriety become a sham Thus it is in the case of South Africa. The government there could change, of course, although the results of recent elections would not that hope. Canada could scarcely say any- thing more harsh about the present gov- ernment that has already been said by its white critics in South Africa encourage Suppose Canadian condemnation of the treatment of helped push South Africa out of the Commons Africans to wealth? We cannot see that eventuality as a catastrophe. Indeed, the Common- wealth might be better off without South Africa -- at least a South Africa gov- erned as it is now. On the one side is the Union of South Africa and on the other established Commonwealth mem- bers like India and Pakistan and emer- ging members in Africa. The scale is heavily weighted in favor of the latter. Whether to remain in the Common- wealth or get out is, of course, South Africa's decision. The Verwoerd govern- ment plans to hold a plebiscite to deter- mine whether the Union should become a republic or not, and later there might be a plebiscite on Commonwealth mem- bership. That is up to the people in the Union who are permitted to vote. But there is no longer any reason why other members of the Commonwealth should be reluctant about hurting the feelings of the South African government. That government thinks nothing about tramp- ling on the sensibilities of other mem- bers of the "family". Canada then, make a clear declaration of its dislike of the Verwoerd should, government's racial policies. Horseshoe Paradise Ontario's Golden Horseshoe, from Oshawa to Niagara Falls, will be a paradise in 2000 AD. That is the pre- diction planning director of the Burlington and Suburban Area Planning Board. He told members of the Niagara Regional Development week that with muni- of Norman Pearson, Association this cipal co-operation the area would have a population of millions with a two-day work week, living in communities separ- ated by green belts, serviced by smoke- less factories surrounded by parkland and pure water. Legislation in the late 1960s, he fore- cast, would lead to the movement in- land of petrochemical industries--which he said could operate there as well as on the lakeshore -- and they would donate thousands of acres along Lake Ontario for recreational areas. It sounds interesting and hopeful, but some of us may not have the same vision of paradise as Mr. Pearson. It is difficult.for example, to imagine a para- dise of a few hundred square miles filled by millions of people--particularly mil- lions tied to jobs for only a couple of days a week. For two days those millions will be hurrying to their jobs, and for five days they will be just hurrying down- town and uptown, to the clean beaches from them, and pure water and around and in the green belts. away through Green belts, yes, and parkland. How far spread? If it goes, say, to Gravenhurst or North Bay, there will be parkland and*green belts aplenty. Otherwise there north will the Golden Horseshoe will be lawns and laneways, unless there is a radical change in official attitudes towards planning of land use. It may be, however, that these little difficulties will that some new and very rapid system of transportation will be devised to get people from their homes to the factories and parklands. All these things could be handled by human ingenuity. But there is still the weather. Even the most loyal and devoted residents of the Golden Horseshoe find it difficult to be enthu- siastic about the weather during all but three or four months of the year. Para« dise needs good weather. We may drop Mr. Pearson a memo about it be overcome Jobs For Youngsters Most current articles on the subject of teen-agers deal with the subject of social problems delinquency. However, there is an problem about which little has been written and that is the matter of jobs for teenagers. and important The Financial Post quotes figures to show there is going to be a tremendous growth in the number of teenagers look- ing for jobs. This will be especially noticeable during the next five years. Population projections show there will be about 100,000 more young people every year who reach job hunting age during most of the sixties, The universities are preparing for a tremendous increase in student enrol- ment, but what preparations are being made for the 93 per cent who do not ga to University? The Financial Post predicts that "un- less plans are laid soon, the sixties may well be characterized by discontent among the young and jobless, and by The Oshawa Times T. L.

It would make sense, therefore, to consider tax aids which encourage more business investment." Bible Thoughts My grace is sufficient for thee. II Corinthians 12:9, We can meet any circumstance, any problem, any trial, any temptation, any task, any tragedy, any requirement, if only God's grace is sufficient. And He says it is!

If the prospect of being face to face with God forever is not a source of comfort, we need to get acquainted with Him. THIS WE'LL HAVE TO SEE UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Gaitskell Wins Battle But May Have Lost War By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The repercussions of the Socialist party's top-level squabble over the no'ed Clause 4 of the party constitution, dealing ization of the means wetion, distribution and exchange, are till resounding thronghout the United Kingdom Both sides to the argument are claiming a victory Ti b¥: supporters feel that he has had his way by hav- ing added nstitution a definition of the par Ss aims on public ownership. In it the as- sertion is made that private and public enterprise in the economy must be recognized. By having that adopied, Mr. Gaitskell pears to have won his point On the other hand, Clause 4 of the constitution stands inviolate and the left wing group feel that in retaining it they have squelch- ed their leader's ideas of a watered down Socialism WON AND LOST Mr. Gaitskell's victory is, at the best, one of a Pyrrhic nature, in that he may have won the battle, but lost the war. That is the view of most British news- paper commentators. The Daily Mail, for instance, says: "Mr. Gaitskell will indeed be a silver-tongued orator if he can persuade himself that he was not defeated on Cluase 4. Rarely can a political leader have suffered such a reverse on a fundamental principle. He has been nailed down to something he does not be- lieve. He has had to eat many of his own words of the past few m- ths." rhe G to the Daily Telegraph com- m is: "Mr. Gaitskell's victory was doubtful, Clause 4 is still to stand as part of the party's constitution, but an addendum will point out that this need not imply whole- sale nationalism. In other words, the pe remains committed to the nmon ownership of the means of production distribution and exchange, but declines to as- sert when, how, by what means and to what extent this aim is to be achieved. Nothing what- ever has been settled." At the best, the net result is. a compromise which still leaves the basic questions raised by Mr. Gaitskell in his Blackpool speech unsolved, and although Aneurin Bevan was not present at the fateful meeting, it was apparent 4 : that his strong influence was hard at work in achieving the compromise, f TORIES ALSO IN REVOLT The government is also having trouble within ils own ranks, but it does not worry about this nearly as much as the Socialists do. With a safe majority, Mr. Macmillan can afford to be mag- nanimous A group of Conservative mem- bers, led by Viscount Hinching- broke and including Maurice Macmillan, the Prime Minister's son, has staged a revolt against the casual way in which esti- mates for huge sums of money are put through the house without serious debate. Measures that used to be passed formally were - questioned and debated by this young Tory group, and to such good effect that the leader of the House, R. A. Butler, pledged that more time would be allowed for scrutiny of the estimates. This was a victory for the insurgents in his own party. FREE DRUGS ISSUE A much more numerous and powerful Tory goup, made up of about half of the members in the House, has been demanding free Health Service drugs for private patients, that is, for patients w ho are paying their own medical fees and not utilizing the national medical services. So far, they have also had to pay the full cost of all their drugs and medicines. About 170 Tory members of pa- liament have made the demand that these patients be allowed the usual drug privileges of National Health patients, who pay only one shilling per item for their prescriptions. Here again, the government has acceded to the demands of its own supporters. Before the year is out, legislation will be intro- duced to enable private patients to enjoy this special benefit of the National Health plan. We venture to suggest that if this demand had come from op- position benches, the answer would have been an unequivocal "No". AIR FARES SLASHED For the past two year's the big British airlines, BOAC and BEA, have been battling to persuade the International Air Transport association to make drastic re- ductions in long distance air fares. Up to now it has been a losing battle, but they have won at last, The IATA "has finally FOR BETTER HEALTH Child's Flexible Bones Pose Certain Problems HERMAN N.

The kids can perform move. ments impossible for older per- sons to equal because the bones of the youngsters are so much more flexible than are the bones of adults And they are more flexible because they are softer Obviously, , this has disadvan tages as well as advantages. Prolonged pressure upon some of these: flexible bones eventu- ally might lead to deformities. For example, the right size shoes are essential to prevent growing foot bones from becom- ing distorted.

Ever so slowly the bones change from relatively soft tissues to firm, hard structures Bones grow in well as =t each end gradually is added and cation occurs Children have many more bones than do adults.

Where there have had to be investigations he usually has handed them over to the judi- ciary or a commission. And where there have been investigations by House eommit- tees, almost invariably there has been a tough chairman who kept proceedings "dignified". NOT SATISFACTORY The committee system gener- ally has been undergoing a change in the house this year. And one committee in partie- ular has altered the view of many members regarding the function of these secondary arms of Parliament. This committee is the public accounts committee, Public accounts and privileges and elections are the only two committees we have which can go into matters of a "scandal. ous" 'nature at all. Neither is called very often. This year public accounts was (privileges and elections also will be meefing). And to many members, includ- ing some on the government side, its proceedings were not very satisfactory. NEW FORM?
