The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, July 19, 1961 . SRA RTRRPEERRG A US. news magazine, presenting a hurried and superficial review of the Fecent squabbles between the Diefen- baker government and the Liberal majority in the Senate, reported that Mr, Diefenbaker at one point threatened #0 call an election on the issue of Senate reform and added in brackets "ie, abo- dition", was highly inaccurate. Reform might mean abolition, but it could also mean several other things. And we doubt jf the Prime Minister, in his calmer mo- Sments, would suggest that the Senate Swas unnecessary and should be dis- pensed with, » The battles over the tariff bill and Mr. Coyne revealed both the importance of the Senate and the need for reform. "The granting of orbitrary powers to a 'minister is something to be questioned at any time, and this the Senate did mfter the tariff measure got the back- "ng of the big and docile Conservative smajority in the Commons; and had "there been no Senate, Mr. Coyne would 'certainly not have had his day in court, % day that was due him as a public Senate Reveals Reasons For Thoughtful Reform servant in an important job, accused by implication of being unfit for that job. The Senate thus demonstrated why the Fathers of Confederation thought such a body was necessary -- to act as a brake on an impetuous and perhaps rash government able to dominate the Commons. But the Senate also demons- trated its weakness: The lack of energy of all but a few Senators, their poor attendance, and their willingness to fol- low the party line instead of thinking for themselves even though they are not elected representatives. 'The Senate, then, needs to be reformed into a more active, energetic body, capable of independent thought and cleared of the tired old party hacks. An excellent suggestion has been made by the CCF-New Party that there be a Senate Appointment Advisory Com- mission composed of representatives of various walks of life. Useful, too, would be a compulsory retirement age for senators. Judges now retire when they are 75, and senators should do the same. 'Management Shortage Five or ten years from now there "will be a tremendous shortage of manage- iment talent according to a prediction by Professor L. G. Macpherson, director of the School of Business of Queen's University. This, it is pointed ou, is the reason why Queen's and other Canadian universities are expanding their pro- 'grams of business training. The threatened management shortage 'is attributed by Professor Macpherson to a combination of Canada's industrial «expansion; the low birthrate of the «1930's; and the exceedingly complex "nature of today's business world. "As part of the business training prog- 'ram of Queen's University a group of 25 business executives are currently at- tending Queen's executive summer 'school. This is a constructive develop- 'ment, but The Financial Times wonders Jwhether it supplies the answer to the need for adequately expanding the "management potential in the country. 'The universities probably could do a «much more efficient job of management "training through a change in the regular curricular which would provide for studies in basic management training in connection with all university courses. This point was stressed by John A. Fuller, president of the Shawinigan Water and Power Co. in the course of a recent address to the annual convoca- tion of the University of Sherbrooke. Emphasized by Mr. Fuller was the need for a study of humanities by all univer sity students, including those whose main work is in technology. The great task of a university education, he went on to say, is to teach students to think objectively and analytically and this, he pointed out, calls for " a fundamental training in the humanities erd the sciences and an opportunity to develop their minds to the fullest capacity." A university education, as such under existing educational standards, cannot produce a potential business executive, the Times argues. Industry and business need specialists, but needed to an even greater degree is potential executive material; and this the universities can supply granted the proper cwriculum, 'Those Lovely Hazards = Everywhere these days, on the high- "ways and in the towns, Ontario motorists sare warned and reminded to drive care- Hully. Every effort is made on our new "super highways and at junctions with sthe older ones, to ensure safe motoring. " We have by-passes and stoplights. Signs warn of curves in the road, trucks "turning, and dead-ends. + There is, however, one hazard--both "for the motorist and the pedestrian -- 'which seems to be overlooked. It is, umoreover, a hazard which is found in "cities, towns and villages, where even sgreater care should 'be: taken' than on "the highways. And in addition to this, St is often a hazard disguised in great "beauty. That thick green hedge that runs "right up to the corner, that lilac bush, 'spreading the perfume of its biossoms int the edge of the lot, that old stone "wall, covered with graceful ivy, can cut off the motorist's view as he nears the corner. : hye Osharon Times T.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Lake district of England, in Westmoreland and Cumberland, has long been a happy happy holiday ground for campers. Dotted on the hill- sides and in the green valleys of this lovely section of north England, one can see, in the summer months, clusters of tents set up by people anxious to enjoy a happy holiday at the least possible expense. There has, up to the present, been perfect freedom to pitch a tent almost anywhere in the Lake District National Park. But if the local authorities have their way, that privilege will be end- ed abruptly. Worried at the great increase in the number of campers this summer, they are pressing for severe controls and restrictions on camping. The Lake District planning board is being urged to speed up the provision of recognized camping sites, and then to ban camping anywhere but on one of these areas. SERIOUS COMPLAINTS There have been some serious complaints regarding the ac- tions of campers since. the sum- mer season began. The main complaints are that some of them are guilty of vandalism, hooliganism, noise, scattering litter, polluting water and creat- ing a danger to public health. Most of the complaints have INSIDE YOU Glasses Can Aid Troubled Student By BURTON H. FERN, MD JUDY WAS a bright little egghead, yet she was flunking out of first grade! Small wonder! Her teacher was a vague blur and the black- board a hazy cloud. Judy was nearsighted! Like a TV camera, your eyes focus light on a panel of sensi- tive cells at the back of each eyeball. Here, nerve cables transmit the signal for viewing in the brain. But Judy's eyeball was extra long -- egg-shaped instead of round -- and so light rays fo- cused in front of that back panel, blurring the image. The closer an object, the further back it focuses -- as long as the lens doesn't thicken. And sb close objects often focus far enough back to land on the sensitive cells that transmit the picture. Judy had no trouble reading books. CONDITION MIGHT WORSEN Nearsighted eyes may get worse as you grow up. After reading, congestion and inflam- mation soften the eyeball. Now it can lengthen further, as muscles pull on the outside and fluid pushes from the inside. Poor lighting and poor pos- ture can also redden and in- flame the eyes. Stooping kinks the veins, damming blood back into tiny vessels inside the eye. Lids droop and mouths yawn, as black spots and bright flashes block vision. Worn-out eyeballs sometimes turn out- wards. After an eye check, the doc- tor can prescribe lenses that separate light waves to make them focus further back in your long eyeball. Judy loves her little red horn rims. NOT A CURE-ALL But glasses aren't enough! You have to sit straight, with proper light pouring over your shoulder when your read. The print should be at least 13 inches away from your eyes.

A spokesman for the local council for Borrowdale said: "Many of these tents are a danger to public health, but there are so many camped over a wide area that we are unable to cope with the problem. We are happy at the way campers behave on the authorized sites, but we hope the police will help us to control the others." POLICE VIEW Now over to the police. police official said: "The help we can give is re- stricted because the greatest number of campers come here when we are busiest dealing with traffic. The majority of the visitors to the Lakes are well behaved, but a minority of campers act like hooligans and spoil things." Also worried about indiscrim- inate campers is the National Trust, which owns a tenth of the Lake District, excluding moun- tains and commons. This year, hundreds of camp- ers are settling at Wasdale, formerly one of the area's love- liest valleys. In Langdale, an- other beauty spot, the Lakes Council is calling for a ban on camping on Elterwater Com- mon, claiming it is a danger to health. And the National Farmers' Union wants a ban on campers who do not belong to a recog- nized camping organization. 0. b of the misdeeds of a minority, it is likely that the simple camping pleasures of thousands of innocent people will be severely curtailed. One GALLUP POLL Many Voters Undecided Before Big Coyne Fight By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Interviewing completed in June, prior to the full explosion of the Fleming-Coyne contro- versy, reveals still higher ranks of indecision among voters. If Mr. Diefenbaker had carried out his hint for going to the country on current issues, he would have done so at a time when almost three in ten voters are on the fence. Nationally the Conservatives and Liberals are split very closely. In Que- bec where the Foll has shown considerable political turmoil in Federal alliances since the death of Mr. Duplessis, both old-line Parties have dropped, and most of the favor for other Parties is chanelled to the Social-Credit group, which has been climbing steadily in this province for some time.

Matthews, Conservative MP for Na- naimo, B.C. OTTAWA -- Patrick Nichol- son, in his fearless way, has asked me to write a "guest column", While I am very much against amateurish attempts of mem- bers of parliament in the writing of news columns, I am always willing to try and help a friend. Mr. Nicholson has made this proviso, that it must relate to some aspect of Parliament, and that is just what I have been soaking up for some months now. So here goes. Some of the gentlemen of the Fourth Estate, that sit high over the throne of Mr. Speaker have been giving the members of Parliament a bad time this ses- sion. They have been complain- ing about the attendance, and also about the way some of the members have been acting in the House, in other words there is no dignity to the Par- liament of today. That raises the question, has there ever been dignity in Par- liament at all times in the Par- liament of any country? NOT ALL DIGNITY I learned while in Japan that their Parliament is not all dig- nity. They had quiet galleries, but noisy members on the floor of the Assembly Hall. Applause Ottawa, it is just 16 feet jog between the front benches, this being copied from the House of Commons in England. I found out that this distance was set to give members, if they disagreed room for sword play. So there was not always dignity in Eng- land's Parliament. I can well remember reading about lack of dignity in city council chambers in many parts of British Columbia, and over a period of years, whether they are worse now than they used to be is debatable. We can also all remember lack of dignity at service club meetings, at ball games, at la- crosse and hockey games, and it is not always the players that are to blame. I went to a hockey game in Hull one afternoon and some of the fans, not all of them, got out of hand and it was necessary to sweep the ice of programs and rubbers seven times. I thought this would not happen in the big league, but when I attended a National QUEEN'S PARK Unfairess Seen In Expropriation By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The land expro- priation committee is really get- ting into the meat of things. It has been getting case his- tories of some unusual deals, particularly on the part of the department of highways. One lesson out of them seems to be--don't go to arbitration with the government. Witnesses have told of cases where they have been made cer- tain offers which they have re- fused. Then they have landed before the municipal board for arbitra- tion and have ended up with even less money than they turned down. COMPARATIVELY LOGICAL Odd as it may seem, this is comparatively logical. When the government deals with a property holder it knows it has a responsibility to be more than fair. It must see that the individual isn't harmed by hte needs of the state. However, the municipal board --or any board of referees--has not this limitation. Or at least not to anything like the same de- gree. It can weigh--in fact it is ex- pected to--weigh values pretty well on a dollar and cents basis. And its appraisals will be lower. GETTING CALLOUS? This is only one of the unfair aspects of expropriation which the select committee must try and find answers to. Another is that government-- and particularly its minor of- ficialdom -- has become what might be called cocksure about expropriation in recent years. There has been such a great volume of it that the attitude has tended to become a bit callous. A home being taken may in a very real sense be a man's castle--it may be a property he has dreamt about and slaved to buy, or it may be an old home- stead which has a high senti- mental value to him, Not so long ago when we didn't have our eyes on the skies for the latest sputnik and per- haps were a bit more humane-- these considerations would have had importance. DUTY DONE But today we are inclined to take the viewpoint that so long as the man can buy another property, any property of sim- ilar standard, we have done our duty. Then again there is the ques- tion of appraisals. Real estate men are in that same modern league with opin- fon surveyors, market research- ers and others. They will give you pretty well any opinion that you want. And when they are testifying for the government property ap- praisers seem to feel it their duty to estimate just as low as possible. This is not the spirit the public really would want. And perhaps the committee will be able to correct it. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Rotary Club had as its guest speaker Mrs. G.
