fe Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, August 12, 1960 Canada Should Remain Clear Of OAS Squabble External Affairs Minister Green has made it plain more than once that he favors closer Canadian ties with and possibly full Canadian membership in the Organization of American States. We hope that Prime Minister Diefen- baker and other members of the cabinet will restrain Mr. Green's enthusiasm. Canada can do more for the Americas outside the OAS. She can act as a good neighbor, as an honest broker, as a re- feree. Within the OAS, she would be just another small nation on the tail of the United States kite -- a kite that ean fly a pretty questionable course. At the moment the OAS is moving towards condemnation of the Castro regime in Cuba. Latin American states are undoubtedly very much concerned about the Communist slant of that regime, but many prominent men in those states have considerable sympathy for the' Cuban revolt itself. While they may bitterly oppose and fear establish- ment of a Communist power in the Caribbean, they can understand the long-standing resentment that lies back of the anti-American policies of the Castro government It is with mixed feelings that they condemn Cuba, because they are being pushed into a firm position by a great power that has treated them in the past with more contempt than understanding. Some Latin Americans think that Canada as a member of the OAS could exert a good influence both on U.S. policy and on squabbling smaller nations. Maybe so -- but Canada has not been able to exert any significant influence on US. relations with other countries in the past, much as we would like to believe otherwise, and sometimes kid ourselves that we do. Canada cannot tell the U.S. what ambassadors should be appointed, what U.S. companies should be restrained from exploitation of southern neighbors, how economic aid should be administered. Yet it is in these areas that Latin Americans have been irritated and angered by the Us. Canada has traditional friendships in Central and South America, and in the Caribbean. These can be strengthened and extended without the obvious risks of OAS membership. NATO has suffered from the tendency of its big-nation mem- bers to make decisions among them- selves. In the OAS there is one big nation addicted towards making deci- sions and then pushing them on others. Let's stay out, for a while at least. Carp Campaign Needed One of the better departments of the Ontario Lands Forest, but like the best-rin organiza- government is and tions, it has weakness. One of these is its apathetic attitude towards the destruction of good fishing waters by earp. Each year sees this prolific and hardy fish increasing in numbers and invading new waters, to the detriment of game fish and often to the body of water itself. Carp are bottom feeders and rooters. They move over the bottom like vacuum cleaners; they root up water plants with their ugly snouts -- 80 much so that they have been used to clean ponds of weeds. The results are obvious. The bottom feeding is bad enough, since it means the destruction of the spawn of more desirable species. Much worse is the rooting. The water plants serve many important functions in the cycle of water life. Their roots help to hold the bottom, to prevent silting; they provide cover for small fish and reduce the rate of water evaporation; around them cling the insects that are an important part of the food of young fish; often they provide food -- wild rice, for example-- for birds. The carp destroys the cycle. He is an intruder, a foreigner; he is not a native of Canadian waters, but was in- troduced and does not come under natural control. When he invades clear streams and ponds, he turns them into muddy, unproductive and uninviting bodies of sluggish or smelly water. Not only has their recreational use been damaged, but they have been started on the slow road to extinction through silt- ing and evaporation. One of the saddest chapters in the story of the carp in Ontario deals with the way that fish has pushed up the Trent system. It has now infested the Otonabee and is making its presence felt in the Kawarthas. It is a progress marked by deterioration in the quality of Trent fishing. The Department of Lands ard Forests seems to think that more fish- ing for carp by commercial fishermen and private anglers will serve as a con- trol. It won't. Carp have increased, parti- cularly in Lakes Ontario and Erie, des- pite heavy commercial fishing, and to try to persuade the average Ontario angler to go after carp deliberately is to invite complete frustration -- and little wonder. More effective methods are required, and without delay. Why not permit unlimited spreading of carp? Why not encourage arches to go after them in the shallows, particularly in late spring and early summer when they are roiling on the surface in their spawning ritual? Why not supervise the large-scale netting of them in rivers such as the Otonabee? There are many ways in which an effective attack on the carp can be car- ried out. The sooner the Department gets at it, the better. In Defence Of Garlic A Windsor restaurant proprietor, Eli Hudyma, having successfully grown an orange tree in that city, is now engaged in an effort to cross garlic with parsley. The Windsor Star comments: "His un- spoken purpose is probably to produce an odorless garlic. A worthwhile am- bition. But Nature is a mysterious and at times a perverse creature.

What dismal meals they must eat! What prosy outlooks they must have, when they do not under- stand that garlic is what puts poetry into food! A salad without a trace of garlic has all the sprightliness of a bale of old hay. A steak without a touch of garlic is just another piece of meat. Only an infidel would cook a goose without first rubbing garlic into the skin, Indeed, we can think of few dishes that are not im- proved by the skillful use of garlic in one way' or another. It does not go well with desserts (although it might give some body to pumpkin pie) but it does its inspiring work with all other parts of a meal. We cannot imagine a restaurant owner trying to produce an odorless garlic, It would be like trying to produce an eggless omelette or a meatless goulash. It's against nature and violates the right- ness of things. An attempt to produce garlic-flavored parsley, on the other hand, is wholly commendable. Parsley has limited scope, and all too often is used too profusely and without grace or imagination. Touch by a breath of garlic, it could be trans- formed. . To Mr. Hudyma, then, go our best wishes for success -- and to the Windsor Star writer our pity and sympathy. HITCHHIKERS OR STOWAWAYS? NOBODY HERE BUT 45 SUPPLIES NK 7 7 OTTAWA REPORT Forest Industries Vitally Important Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist to- day is J. M. Forgie, Liberal M.P. for Renfrew North, Ont. We are nearing the end of a comparatively uninteresting ses- sion. The date of prorogation is anybody's guess. It is said that the government of the day opens Parliament but the 'Opposition closes 'it. It is the role of the Official Opposition to see fo it that legislation is not passed in haste and without careful study. Last week we had an interesting bill before us, namely, the For- estry Bill. This bill is of deep concern to the residents of the Ottawa Valley. There can be no doubt of the value and importance to the Ottawa Valley and to Can- ada of forestry and forestry prod- ucts. The net value of the prod- ucts of this industry last year amounted to 2.2 billion dollars. Our exports of paper and wood products account for over 30 per * cent of the value of all domestic REPORT FROM UX. Population Growth Becoming Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times LONDON Britain's popula- tion is growing at an accelerated rate. That is the background against which the shortage of land for the building of homes must be viewed. It is the reason why land values are soaring and builders are complaining that their activities are being restrict- ed by the withholding of wide areas of green belt land from the market for home sites. The natural increase in the population of England and Wales, due to an increase in the birth rate, is about 250,000 a year. But on top oi that are two other fac- tors. One is that Britain has be- come a desirable haven for would - be settlers from all over the world. This does not make the problem any easier. The thou- sands of immigrants to this coun- try, from the deminions™~and colonies and from European countries, many as refugees, have to be fed and provided with homes. MIGRATION DROPS On the other hand, the rate of migration from Britain to the Commonwealth c ou ntries, and particularly to Canada, has de- ciined sharply in the last two years, The flow is still much less than it was prior to that time. Emigration out of Britain has therefore ceased to be the bal- ance wheel to hold the popula- tion of Britaic at a fairly steady level. Indeed, reports of official figures indicate that immigration into this country in the current year may exceed the number going out of the country as emi- grants. If this expansion of population coitinues, the day will come in the not ioo distant future when there will be 60,000,000 crowded into these small islands. This is causing great concern as to whether the housing of this num- ber of people will mean breaking up much of the country's farm land anc using it for housing estates. SPECULATION RIFE Even today, speculation for building lana is so rife that the latest scheme is to offer high prices for existing homes, often quite modern property housing a number of people. They are be- ng bouzht to pull down and build tall blocks of apartments which are being soid at famine prices. And when they are built, the new inhabitants still have to pay an up-to-date ground rent even if they are three or more storeys up in the air OLD HOUSING GOING Old Victorian houses, with all theif charm , and dignity, are often part of a community of attractive and useful dwellings, ard are capable of being turned into accommodation for three or four families. But the plan of the speculators is to pull these houses down, and to build even in the back gardens if they can secure planting authority for do- ing so. They do not care a par- ticle if ihe effect on surrounding property is grotesque. At present, there is grave doubt as to the legal position of the planning authorities. Legisla- tion which might limit the intru- sion of the speculator is very vague. So unless parliamentary ang ministerial power can exert more controi, urban Britain may well become a hotch-poich of heights and styles. FOR BETTER HEALTH How Does Inactivity Affect Heart Patient? HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD The stress of daily living may not be so bad, after all, even for heart patients. Rest, of course, is essential for any patient until the heart dam- age has been healed sufficiently. After this, however, inactivity apparently serves no useful pur- pose and might even be harm- ful. LIFE NOT PROLONGED Many doctors feel that rest and inactivity for such patients do not prolong life, This is quite a de- parture from. the advice most doctors have been handing out for years, As a matter of fact, too much rest is likely to lead to physical and emotional incapacity. SIMPLE EXPLANATION An article in a recent edition of Circulation, the official journal of the American Heart Associa- tion, explains it this way: If we are to rehabilitate heart patients properly, we must ac- cept the philosophy that work is a normal part of living. Work is important for the physical and emotional wellybeing of the indi- vidual. It's that simple. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS Solving the physical problems of a cardiac' patient is usually a great déal easier than solving the psychological ones Over protective wives and children can be quite a handicap to hugbands and fathers suffer- ing MWeart ailments. Well - mean- ing but thoroughly misinformed friends, may also hinder the pa- tient's recovery. The boss may be a further hin- derance. RELUCTANT TO HIRE There is a general reluctance on the part of industry to hire eardiac patients. Not only is this bad for the individual patient, but it can prove bad for industry, too. After all, there are about 10,000,000 persons in this country suffering from various stages and forms of heart disease right now. CAN'T BE IGNORED Since this number increases every year, it seems pretty ob- vious to me that industry cannot continue to ignore this group. Our national economy simply can't af- ford to keep such a large force idle indefinitely. We have weeks to mark this ill- ness and that illness. Maybe we should also have a "Get the heart patients back to work" week. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. A C.: Is there a possibil- ity that cirrhosis due to alcohol- ism can be cured if the person stops drinking? Answer: The damage to the liver already done usually cannot be fully repaired, but further damage may be prevented by stopping drinking, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM How fo succeed, if you think it would be worth the trouble: Hitch your wagon to a star, put your shoulder to the wheel, keep an ear to the ground, and watch the handwriting on the wall In these days and times a high standard of ethics is invariably referred to as "old-fashioned hon. esty". Does this mean honesty has gone out of style? "A baby first laughs at the age of about four weeks?" says a pediatrician. By then baby can focus his eyes well enough to see what his father looks like. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Charles M. Anderson, interna- tional field secretary for the Lions Club, was in Oshawa to confer with Dr.qFord and R. H. Mulch on the establishment of an Oshawa branch. Seven carriers, all men return- ed from the war, were sworn in for twice-daily mail deliveries on six routes. Delivery of mail was a new service for Oshawa. A memorial to pupils of a school in Shoeburyness, Essex, England, who died in the war, was unveiled. Included in the list of names were Oshawa brothers Sergeants Thomas and Leon Wood, who had attended the school before meving to Canada. The Silver Cross was being awarded to the parents of boys who had died in the war. Ore was received by Mr. and Mrs. H. Wood of Oshawa John Purdie and A. E. Mack bicycled home to Oshawa from the YMCA leaders' corps camp they had been attending at Lake Couchiching, The Oshawa Board of Works announced plans to approach the Ontario government about build- ing a new bridge. over the creek at King street. Rev. C. J. Felton of the Chris- tian Church on Centre street tendered his resignation to go to Newport News, Virginia, after six years in Oshawa. Fire Chief Cameron announced the finish of a successful five- week trial of a new alarm sys- tem he had devised which was saving the city $164 a year. George Evans won the Robert 0. Law Cup in golf, defeating Dr. Henry by a close score in the playoffs. BATTLEGROUND exports. At present there are 350.600 Canadians employed in our forests and in our pulp and paper industry. The industry aiso provides a market for pulp to many farmers throughout the Valley and the country. ECONOMY AFFECTED The whole economy of Canada is directly affected by the for- estry industry. To meet the chal- lenge of maintaining our present percentage of exports there must be the highest order of co-opara- tion among governments, indus- try and workers. And, ladies and gentlemen, having been born and brougat up in the Ottawa Valley, I realize that the importance of foresiry ufacture of plywood, all these things require research. Very capable personnel to carry on research is available in our station at Chalk River and I am. sure all those engaged in research i at Chalk River as well as vther and forestry industries with re- gard to employment and income is as obvious as it is great. Lumbering in the Ottawa Valley has played a predominant part in the development of the Valley and the towns and villages in Ren frew County, and, indeed, in the economic expansion of Canada. The growing importance of our forest industries and the need for better integration of the existing Dominion laboratories throughout Canada will be pleased at this new development. One member of the House quoted an ancient Arab proverb which says that to survive all men must hold hands. This legis- lation makes it possible for the federal government, provincial governments, industry and other organizations across the country to hold hands in order that our forest heritage and industry com- tinue to prosper and expand. There comes to my attention at once the question of fire fighting, this is one activity where the D Government can co- federal services dealing with for- stry and forestry products and strengthening the co-operation in every way between the industry and the federal government and between the ial govern- ments and the federal govern- ments in thiz field is highly de- sirable. in this field is highly desirable. T! jon of the 1 operate with the province and industry to put out these dis. astrous forest fires that costs the country and industry millions of dollars. KEEN INTEREST I know of the keen interest of the Forest industries, rhe Ca. di an Forestry A iation, the production of forest products is predicted to increase to $4,000, 000,000. The importance of such an expansion not only in terms of employment but in terms of ex. port grade and national income is obvious to everyone. A NEW DEPARTMENT The Act first passed this week seeks to provide for the amalga- mation of the forestry branch of the Department of Northern Af- fairs and of certain divisions of the Department of Agriculture into a new department of govern- ment, a Department of Forestry. The main function of the For- estry Department will be. re- search. Research into uses of wood for home construction, the uses of wood residue, the uses of wood for containers and matters like new techniques for the man- QUEEN'S PARK Poor Secretaries And Swelled Heads By DON 0' HEARN Toronto -- Cabinet ministers have been getting very "busy" these days. Reporters--not this one--have been complaining they can't get through to many ministers on news queries. "Sorry, but the minister is busy," is the reply in not-too- sweet tones, The reason? In part poor sec- retaries. In part poor heads. The press here has had good relationships compared with other government centres. Ministers have been readily available, And this has paid off for them as well as for the newspaper men. But a poor secretary can queer this quickly by trying to put up an iron door. Indeed, a poor secretary can queer any man. And a poor head--in this case a swollen one--can do the job even more quickly. And some of the minor minis- ters here have been acquiring swollen heads. BUT NOT FROST They will be deflated quickly once Premier Frost gets the word, Big heads and iron doors are two things the premier won't stand for. Mr, Frost's memory goes back to the days when he succeeded George Drew and had to do away with the iron door his sec- retariat had built around him. Cut In H-Bomber Program To Spark Sharp Argument LONDON (CP)--When Parlia- ment meets again this fall, there will almost certainly be another blow-up over defence, set off this time by the recent cut in the Victor H-bomber program. The situation, like the recent cancellation of the Blue Streak missile, presents a natural battle- ground. Many Labor critics, in 1952, were dead set against the government ordering the Victor, on the grounds that Britain was already committed to the Vulcan and could not afford the luxury of two different H-bombers. So Parliament will 'no doubt echo to cries of "I told you so" and "Why wouldn't you listen?" The issue will probably also revive some of the heated argu- ments that flared in the Com- mons when the British Blue Streak missile was cancelled ear- lier this year--at a loss of about £105,000,000 -- in favor of the American Skybolt. The two situ- ations are closely related, EXPENSIVE CUTBACK The air ministry says the Viec- tor program was slashed because the aircraft are not capable of carrying the Skybolt air-to-ground missile. Sir Frederick Handley Page, whose firm makes the Vic- tor, says this isn't true, but nonetheless the government 'is expected to take only 20 of the planes, instead of the original 50. These 20 are expected to :be assigned electronic roles, such as radar jamming, in the event of war. Estimates of the government's loss on the reduction range from £30,000,000 to £80,000,000. By splitting the difference it would mean that Britain has spent £300,000,000 on aircraft and mis- siles that were cancelled during the last 10 yvéars. The decision to build the fast, high-flying Vietor was taken, de- spite heavy criticism, because the govirnment wanted protec- tion against a possible failure in the earlier Vulcan program. As it turned out, the Vulcan was suc- cessful and will be modified to carry the Skybolt missile. NEWSPAPERS IRKED Adding fuel to a potential par- liamentary feud is the fact that the decision to cut the program was 'announced after Parliament had begun its summer recess. A few weeks earlier the government had denied reports that such a development might occur. The pro-government Daily Mail, which originally disclosed the pending cut, has come out with a front - page editorial attacking "this half-told, half-secret way of going on." "The official denial of The Daily Mail disclosure of the cut in the Victor program, followed Canadian Banks Among Biggest NEW YORK (CP) -- Banks in the United States, Britain and Canada fill all of the first 15 places in a list of the world's 500 largest commercial banks. The U.S, places seven banks-- including the three largest-- among the top 15. England has five and Canada three, a tabula- tion by the magazine American Banker shows. The largest Canadian bank is the Royal Bank of Canada, sixth largest in the world with deposits of $3,893,888,138. The Bank of Montreal is the 11th largest and the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Toronto, places 14th. Here's how other banks rate: Bank of Nova Scotia 24th; Tor- onto-Dominion Bank 30th; Imper. ial Bank of Canada 59th: Banque Canadienne Nationale 89th, and Provincial Bank of Canada 197th. The largest bank in the world is the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Associations San Francisco. Its deposits: $10, 624,958,182. Canadian A new height in poor state- ment must be credited to Lib- eral leader Wintermeyer regard- ing the federal - provincial con- ference. On the second day of the meeting Mr. Wintermeyer issued a statement critical of Mr. Frost's submissions. It showed an almost ludicrous lack of knowledge of the pre- mier's approach, WRONG INFERENCE It inferred that he was asking Ottawa for a grant of 50 per cent of income taxes and moaned that the federal govern- ment could not raise this much money without soaking the tax- payer. Ignored was the fact that the premier said he wanted to im- pose his own taxes, and that he specifically said he felt income taxes probably were too high now. Overlooked was the demand that Ottawa should reduce its taxes to a point where Ontario could collect its proper share. 'And not even taken into con: sideration was the obvious fact that if Ontario took over all of this additional revenue it would also take on responsibility for fields such as hospital insur- ance now covered by federal conditional grants, (3 The statement was written in Mr. Wintermeyer's office, which seems to feel it must go hell bent to the public every time there is an opening to say some- thing. A few more such ignorant statements-and it will have Mr. Wintermeyer hell - bent for pri- vate life again by public de mand. by the admission of its truth after Parliament had risen, is typical of these hole-and-corner meth- ods." Several other newspapers joined the attack. It indicates a lively time ahead for Defence Minister Harold Wat- kinson who took over the minis- try just in time to land in the middle of the Blue Streak-Skybolt controversy. C Lumbermen's A tion. and other groups as well as individual lumbermen sci- entists such as those in charge of the Laboratory at Chalk River, all of whom favor this legisla. tion The amount of money spent on forest products research should be substantially increased. There are many important sub- jects in which a federal depart- ment of forestry will be of great assistance to the forestry indus- try, such as research into the uses of sawmill waste, particu- larly where small sawmills are concerned. And then I believe for- est nurseries should be estab- lished at all federal experimental farms and stations to make avail- able suitable plants and stock to farmers and others by which to improve their wood lots. Assist- ance should be given to the prov. inces to eliminate disease and harmful insects in the Provinces. I understand from Dr. Keys that research work on this subject is being carried on at the Atomic Energy plant at Chalk River. And a sales department should be set up to promote export sales of for. est products abroad. Consumers' Gas Company Appointment MR. F. WARREN HURST Oakah L.
