_ OTTAWA REPORT dhe Oshavon ges " Change Of Policy 6 : Island Nice Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. In Quebec Urged ; Spot To Live Tuesday, July 5, 1960 Page 6 Charity Begins At Home And Home Is The World The 'other days some little ehildren held a party in an Oshawa home and the proceedings produced $2, which the children wanted to donate to a good eause -- specifically, to the World Re- fugee Year fund. And modest contribution to that cause was increased by two dollars, not a signifi- eant amount of money, perhaps, but significant indeed in purpose and in- so Canada's tention. i Why has there been such a response to the refugee appeal from youngsters, and why so little from adults in Canada? Oshawa's school children have made a splendid contribution, but only a few grown-ups have shown any real interest. An obvious answer, of course, is that adults constantly being re- to contribute another. There is scarcely a the are quested to one worthy cause or week that does not see an appeal of some sort. Even so, the apathy that has met the efforts of the WRY sponsors is rather disturbing. It is possible that the youngsters are quicker to see beyond the narrow con- fines of locality or province or eountry, that they have a livelier imagination to grasp the meaning of the massive tragedy represented by the world's refugees. It is easy to say that charity begins at home. It does indeed. But if we are true to our religious beliefs and if we have any concept of the world in which we live, where is home? Is it simply the house in which we live? The moment we step outside that house, we enter the world--not a tiny little corner of it, but the whole thing, because ours is only one of many communities peopling a planet, all made by the same Creator, We are human beings first; only by the accident of birth or travel are we Canadians. Even if we do not believe in a Creator, even if we reject all religious belief, we still dodge inevitable sponsibility of membership in the human eannot the re~ race. For purely selfish reasons we must give thought to the problem of those in other lands who are displaced, homeless and impoverished. As Chris Chataway, former athlete and now a member of the British Parliament, - told "a Toronto audience a few days ago: "Nothing be more dangerous in the modern world than the idea that could sympathy and humanity should be re- served for persons in our own country. 1 still feel that the main threat to world peace will remain in the great disparity of wealth there is between the world's rich and poor." Discussion Of Pensions Portable industrial workers are coming in for wide-spread pensions for discussion in Canada. The suggestion is that for another at any time should be able to a worker leaving one job take with him the accumulated sum of his own and his employer's contribu- tions to a pension fund. At present most plans provide that, for a stated number of years, an employee quitting one job for another is entitled to take with him only his own pension fund payments plus interest. Some insurance company executives, whose opinions may be influenced by the hope of getting more pension-fund business, say there are no important technical difficulties in making pensions portable. In recent eontract renewals the United Steelworkers' Union has been asking the addition of a pension-vesting clause. In Ontario the provincial legisla- ture has established a six-member, fact- finding committee to study the subiect and report next year, and Premier Frost has suggested that portability of pensions might increase productivity. This would be all to the good, but he noted also that the plan would require compulsory eontributions, which might so increase the cost of production that there would be an overall loss rather than gam. 'Nudity And A prudish Municipal Court Judge in Montreal has ruled that any publication consisting entirely of photographs of women in the nude must be considered obscene under a recent amendment to the Criminal Code, the Peterborough Examiner notes, and goeg on to e€om- ment: He therefore convicted ag book- store owner of circulating and distribut- ing obscene literature and fined him $50 with costs. This is the second action taken under the Minister of Justice, Davie Fulton's amendment which de- fines obscenity as the undue exploitation of sex, or violence; both actions have been in Montreal.

Government pension plans are -- because usually their payments to pensioners are provided by current eontributions from people who are work ing. In fact, the government plans could not operate without the growth in the economy that is aided by the investment of private pension funds. It is difficult to measure the effect of this factor, but the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that which includes employers' eontributions Supplementary Labour Income, to employee pensions, increased from $156 million in 1945 to $770 million in 1959. The greater mobility of the labour force is stressed as an advantage of portable pensions. On the other hand, if government compels aggood part of industry to. provide portable pension schemes, production costs and consumer. prices could go up. In that event the pensioned workers would be getting a bonus at the expense of all other workers. Obscenity Minister of Justice: is Canada's reading matter to be determined by Municipal Court Judges in the Province of Quebec? Or are we to have some element of choice reserved to the individual? Would collection of Renoir's drawings of the nude, obscene? Would he order the seizure of a collec~ tion of pictures of men im the nude, be- cause they were obscene?

GALLUP POLL BACK TO THE PRACTICE TEE Public Shelter Scheme Favored By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION A large majority of Canadians would favor a law requiring com- munities to build public "fall-out" or bomb shelters. Almost three in four men and women say they approve such legislation for the community in which they live. This major interest in commu- nity preparedness, revealed at mueh the same level in both the U.S. and Canada. comes from a public which has a fatalistic or vague idea of how they would act should warning of a nuclear attack be given. Belief that com- munity bomb shelters should be built is highest in Quebec and the Maritimes where more than eight Yes Favor CANADA Maritimes ... Quebec Ontario West copies of federal pam- phlets containing home shelter plans will be distributed across Country to a nation in which 43 per cent say they would be in- terested in paying $500 to have a shelter built for them. This com- pares with 47 per cent who say they would not. Again the West ic least concerned with the idea compared to other regions.

BUNDESEN, MD Age-old advice for anyone in an alcoholic stupor has been to let him sleep it off We do, however, have quicker ways of rousing such an individu al. One way is to give an intra 2 venous injection of methylpheni- date QUICK REACTION When such an injection is ad- visable, we usually begin with 20 to 30 mg. Within three to ten minutes, the patient probably will awaken suddenly and become more alert and more responsive. Most likely he will feel more sober, The condition will improve slowly in most cases. Sometimes, however, another injection of 20 to 30 mg. may be necessary about half an hour after the first shot. DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK Tests with the drug thus far in- dicate that it doesn't always work. An occasional patient has relapsed into a depressed state after 15 minutes or so As far as I know, the use of methylphenidate on agitated per- sons has been extremely limited. In two cases that 1 know of, both patients became more aggressive and pugnacious. OCCASIONAL EFFECTS Most persons will be able to walk without aid following méth- ylphenidate §reatment. Some may react appropriately, but will have some difficulty in walking and speaking - Some side effects are likely to seldom are they apt to be serious. The blood pres- sure may increase or decrease slightly, Nausea, vomiting, ver- tigo and anxiety might last for two or three minutes, but that's all occur, but OTHER TREATMENTS Insulin and glucose also have been used to relieve alcoholic stupor, Such (reatment, of course, must be used only in a hospital. Sometimes a person is thought to be in an alcoliolic stupor when the_real cause of the (rouble lies somewhere else, Alcohol on the breath is not proof of alcoholism. DIFFERENT CAUSES A diabetic coma can result in a similar-appearing stupor. So might a skull fracture, throm- hosis or a tumor Carbon monoxide, alcohoi, might the problem. All such possibilities must be ruled out before treatment to rouse a person from an alcoholic stupor can be begun. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. K.

The "sults of last week's election in Quebec suggest thot the prop has been kicked away from many of those 51 seats. Bit a return to the 1956 status in Quebec, coupled with the obvious dimming of Conserva- {ive apnea: on the Prairies, would cost the Conservatives the next federal election The Union Nationale, created by the late Maurice Duplessis and built to great power by him, is regarded here as a spent force, ncapable of being resuscitated. But at the same time they Que- bec provincial LiberalAg are thought to be anythipg but sizzling; winners through the re- jection of what remains of Du- plessisism, rather 'than through acceptance of Liberalism. KEY PROVINCE IN 1962? The way is now open, and the demand is insistent, it is felt in Conservative circles here, to re- build the Conservative party as such in the provincial field in Quebec. It is not forgotten here that Maurice Duplessis was for- merly the leader of the Conserva- tive party in Quebec, and that his following in the Union Na- tionale was largely made-over Conservatives, inspired also by the then popular but now out- moded garnish of Quebec isola- tionism To maintain their substantial support from Quebec voters, it is essential for the Conservatives to fashion a political organization no less effective than that which the Union Nationale so overtly put behind most of the successful PC candidates in 1958. This will not be easy with the present mood of disenchantment among Conserva- tive. MPs from Quebec, one-third of whom suggest that they will not seek re-election.

Decrease In Fee Courageous Move By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The government has really let the Hog Producers Association know who is boss. Through the Farm Products Marketing Board it has ordered a 25 per cent reduction in the fee charged for selling hogs Instead of 40 cems (he associa- tion (through its marketing agency, The Hog Producers Ce- operative) now will ge: 30 cents per animal. 3 POLITICALLY BRAVE This is one of the most stern, and also courageous, measures to be taken here in manv years There is no question that the government has felt the hog asso- ciation has been getting out of hand. But to step in on it the way it has must be classed .as an act of political bravery. For rhe associ ation is powerful and its leader ship has shown itself to be clever, It is true that i* pased i's action on a study report prepared by Price, Waterhouse and Co. But even ordering this study was an action vhich required considerable political fortitude, OTHER SHOE At the same time that the above action was being made, Premier Frost' in Cornwall was showing another shoe to the Ontario Asso- ciation of Mayors and Reeves At the annual meeting of the association in Cornwall Mr, Frost was arguing a strong case for freedom from government con- trol. He flatly asked the officials they should not have as nearly full autonomy as possible and prac. tically argued the case for them He left no doubt bug that be \!

(CP) -- A testimonial dinner was held here to honor C. S. A. Rogers. QC, on completion, of his 55th year in law practice. He was admitted to the bar in England in 1905 a caine to Canada. five years later. He has been crown attor- ney here for nearly 40 years. There can be no denying the in- valuable reinforcements of cash, oratory, exhortation and man- power which Duplessis threw inio the rout of the Liberals across the province in 1958. Yet the Conservative leader has strenu- ously denied the charge that a Diefenbaker - Duplessis axis ex- isted, and has emphasized this denial by often turning a frozen fdce towards Quebec. Sir John Macdonald picked his first lieutenant from Quebec: Sir George Etienne .Cartier. But no Conservative leader since that wise "Old Tomorrow' has thus promoted any Quebecois. A year ago, this column reported that Quebec in fact had the weakest Cabinet representation of any province except Newfoundland. NEW LEADER SOUGHT In 93 years since Confederation, the Conservative party has never had a leader from Quebec, In contrast to this record, the Lib- erals have made two Quebecois prime minister of Canada and English-speaking leaders have al- ways honored Quebec by placing its favorite son at their right hand. The Conservatives could ngw= help themselves by reversing this foolish and disastrous policy, and choosing as Quebec leader a man who promises to go far in the federal field. 1 find a widespread belief among Montreal Conserva- tives that the person thus to solve their post-election dilemma, to rebuild Conservatism across their province, is Hon. Pierre Sevigny, recently appointed associate min- ister of national defence in the federal cabinet, and son of Que- bec's distinguished chief justice, ion, Albert Sevigny. He is said to fit the pattern of needs. Industrialization is shifting the balance of population and of economic power westward within Quebec; so it would make sense to pick a leader from Montréal. With thé awakening from re- stricted provincialism, the need is to base the new Conservatism upon a loyal French - Canadian and devout Catholic outlook, which yet combines catholic ex- perience and a breadth of mind. Further, these Quebec Conserva- tives suggest, their province mest have as leader a man of author- ity, a man to whom his followers can look up, and man with the sense of power. To these Conservatives, the man who can reshape, refurbish and inherit the clodk of Maurice Duplessis is Pierre Sevigny. HALIFAX (CP) -- The lighte house that watches over the busy waters of Halifax Harbor is perched on a barren island of tide-washed rock between Halifax and Dartmouth, The island now serves simply as a base for the transport de- partment's warning light and fog- horns but once it was connected with more sinister activities, About the middle of the 18th century the island, then known as Cornwallis Island, was granted by royal decree to Jo- shua Maugher. Under him it soon became the centre of a smugghk ing ring operating between Louis. burg, N.S.,, New York and Ja. maica. Profits from the operation fin- ally ended up with Maugher's daughtbg, a French countess who later was executed in the French revolution. The six families now living on the island insist it's the best place to live in Halifax. Lighthouse - keeper Ernest Rampton says he would be 'con- tent to live there for the rest of his life. The island is something of a resort in summertime and Halifax and Dartmouth are only minutes away by boat, Mr. Rampton and his assistant alternate six-hour watches at the lighthouse 24 hours a day. They are kept busy operating the light and foghorns and collecting wind and weather information. In fac. the only complaint resi- dents have is that the salty spray sometimes gets into the drinking water they collect from rain on the roof, MODEST BILL KAMLOOPS, B.C. (CP)--Mayor J. E.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corréspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The high standard of prosperity which the people of the United Kingdom are enjoying at the present time is creating serious problems for the minis- try of defence. It has cut dras- tically into the rate of recruiting for all three branches of the armed forces of the country, to such an extent that there is talk in some quarters of a return to conscription for national service to bring the number of men in the forces up to the quotas which have been set, The month of April is cited as typical of the drop which has taken place on voluntary recruit- ment for the services, The total pumber of recruits for the three services was 3117 men and 380 women, compared with 4385 men and 504 women in April of 1959. The .comparative male regular strengths of the three branches of the armed services on May 1, compared with the same date in 1959, is as follows: 1960 1959 R.N. and Marines 82,289 84,195 137,358 148,431 117,500 120,506 CAUSING ANXIETY The decline in recruiting has increased anxiety that the army may not secure.the number of volunteers it requires by the end of 1962, when national service will be ended, Although the gov- ernment has no plans for resum- ing conscription, there is some behind-the-scenes talk that it may be necessary. The' present plan of the ministry of defence is to raise 165,000 volunteers for the army by the end of 1962, and lo allow it to continue to recruit up to a ceiling of 182,000. Faclors affecting recruiting are complex, but what is caus- ing most concern is that the re- cent substantial increases in pay for the armed forces has not produced the increase in recruils ing that had been expected. It is very evident that the presen! conditions in some parts of the country, with serious labor short. ages and employers offering bonuses at employment ex- changes is making it hard for the armed services to compete for manpower. IMPROVEMENTS COMING On the other hand, drastic ime provements in service conditions, as well as pay, are now under way, and their effects have not yet been brought into play to stimulate recruiting figures. Mod- ern barracks, sufficient and mod- ern married quarters and new uniforms will not become incen- tives to enlistment until they ac- tually exist, but they are now on the way. So far as the army is concerns ed, the added incentive of oppor- tunities for service in many parts of the world has not been ex- ploited in recruiting campaigns, It seems to be too little appre- ciated that of the three services it is the army that has the lion's share of active service of one sort or another in various parts of the world, and that is likely to continue. Defence ministry officials, how ever, claim that they are not pessimistic about the situation. They express confidence that they will be able to reach the target of 165,000 by the end of 1962. And they are planning a new type of recruiting effort towards that end. TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY Goby TRAIN and SAVE!
