Tle Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers, Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, October 10, 1961 Divorce Fakery Makes Mockery Of For years Canadian legislators have successfully ignored the scand- alous conniving, faking of evidence and perjury indulged in by a high proportion of the couples seeking to dissolve their marriages. They have ignored, too, the fact that much of the blame for the sorry situation must be attached to our antiquated divorce laws, which are based largely ony the British Matrimonial Act of 1870 -- and which the British amend- ed more than 20 years ago. In Ontario, some official recogni- tion of the situation was forced last year by newspaper revelation of the way much divorce evidence is rigged, and a Queen's Proctor was appointed to take a closer look. Since then the Queen's Proctor, Elliott Pepper, has publicly stated that "many people are clamoring for revisions of the Di- vorce Act," and has admitted that many others, who are not legally, en- titled to a divorce, will not stop even at perjury to obtain what they want. Hé spoke at a recent meeting of the Canadian Club in Hamilton. All Law Still more recently, however, Justice Minister Fulton told a Lon don audience that "there seems to be no compelling reason to enlarge the grounds for divorce at present," and that public opinion is so divided on what should be done that until-there is some crystallization of public opin- ion," it would be unwise for the Gov- ernment to tamper with existing situation." Mr. Pepper, we believe, is much closer to public opinion than Mr. Ful- ton, having been in a position for some time to make a personal and close study of the situation. Still, Mr. Fulton should have learned enough from the disgraceful divorce- mill activities of Parliament to pro- duce some better comment than "there seems to be no compelling reason to enlarge the grounds for divorce at present." There is a compelling reason: There is such widespread cynicism about divorce methods that written law is brought into disrepute and moral law eroded. Co-Operation In Trade In theory, competition is the life of trade. In practice, it may be that Can- ada's trade will be kept alive only if we temper competition with a measure of co-operation. That is the suggestion of Mr. George De Young, chairman of the National Productivity Council, who finds that in the countries that are beat- ing us out in economic expansion there s co-operation to a degree we have never attempted. Not only is there mutual effort by labor and management, but within industries governments permit mutual efforts that in Canada are im- possible under existing anti- combines iaws "One wonders," says Mr. De Young, "how bad must our economic conditions become before we can have a co- operative effort between management gnd labor (as the two sides of industry) pnd our government, and all segments pf our economy? . . . Should not the fwo sides of industry be setting up committees in their plants as is done in the competing countries to study the {ong and short-run economic problems of the company, the industry, and our wountry, which affect our ability to rompete? "We have, in addition to historical degacies, actual legal restrictions on com- 'petitive practice and size. This suggests 'that our attack must be on a co-operative basis involving government, manage. ment, labor and the public. It -would seem that a single manufacturer of 280,000 washing machines, valued at $34,500,000(which is Canada's produce tion), would be better able to compete than 15 manufacturers of 18,500 each. In this industry abroad, co-operation be- tween manufacturers to prevent costly design charges by one manufacturer to gain momentary market advantages is common . . . If Canada could avoid, and I think it is possible, the bad effects of concentration and co-operation we could no doubt improve our competitive position. This all would require a lot of statesmanship, a lot of changes of attitude and a lot of desire." As example of the rigidity of the law that in Canada outlaw inter-com- pany co-operation, there was the fairly recent case of the group of fine paper manufacturers who wanted a chance to prove in court that their market. sharing agreements had benefited work ers, consumers, the companies and the country by enabling them to produce goods that were competitive in quality and price with foreign-made products that entered the Canadian market duty- free. But, unlike other countries, our anti-combines law does not allow that argument as a defence. Fire And Housekeeping More than half of all deaths from 'fire in Canada occur when flames 'roar through homes. The loss of life is tragic, but the tragedy is com- :povnded by the fact that most of the home fires are the result of bad house- 'keeping -- of carelessness with smok- 'ing materials, matches, flammable li- quids and rubbish ; of negligence in the rinstallation, repair and general hand- 'ling of household equipment. The re- sponsibility must be placed squarely ion the shoulders of adults; children ican start fires by playing with imatches, but most of them, by far, are the result cf adult carelessness tand negligence. 4 To guard against the common ;types of home fires, prevention au- * Tye Osharwa Times T.

Put tobacco ashes, cigaret and cigar butts, and used matches in ash- trays of adequate size and shape to hold them. Empty ashtrays into a covered metal container after their contents have stopped smoking. Never place a loaded ashtray on a bed or on stuffed furniture and re- frain from smoking if you feel drowsy. Keep lighters, matches and light- ed "smokes" where children and pets can't reach them. Before retiring for the night, check all rooms to make sure no one has left a cigaret, cigar or pipe burn- ing anywhere , . . especially after a party. Periodically check all electric chords, particularly for appliances, and replace those which are frayed. Make sure oily mops are hung up and oily rags are kept in a tight- ly closed can or preferably are thrown away after use. Never use flamable liquids like gasoline for cleaning clothes, or ker- osene for starting fires. Store flamable liquids in closed, unbreakable containers to minimize chances of dangerous fumes escap- ing. Do not store cooking fats, grease, or other flamable items on or near the kitchen stove. ; Regularly clean the oven and broiler in the kitchen stove, and the exhaust fan and duet. Pu IT OFF OTAWA REPORT Newest Province Gets New Campus By PATRICK NICHOLSON Canada's newest university campus is being opened this week as a welcome addition to the educational facilities of our newest province. Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland, was de- veloped from Memorial College, which was opened in 1925 as a inemorial to the sons and daugh- ters of Newfoundland who gave their lives in the First World War. The college was launched for the dual purpose of training: much - needed school teachers, and also to provide studies above the high school standard than available in Newfoundland. When Newfoundland entered Confederation as our tenth prov. ince in 1949, there was sworn in as premier a man who had long been acutely conscious that higher education was essential to develop the maximum eco- nomic potential of his homeland. Thus one of the first acts of J.R. Smallwood was to elevate Me- morial College into a university with full degree-conferring sta- tus. CAMPUS FLOODED The small college building on its little two-acre campus on the famous old Parade Grounds quickly became impossibly over- crowded; facilities which had been ample for 59 pre-university students in 1925 were entirely in- adequate for a full-blown univer- sity a quarter of a century later. So quonset huts and temporary buildings were thrown up all around the college. From Parade Street to Merry- meeting Road, boys and girls from the towns and outports scrambled for classroom space and living accommodation. Joey Smallwood, the fairy godmother to Newfoundland, had to turn INSIDE YOU Gl resign, and last week another of the publishers of Britain's mass- 4 circulation newspapers was in " stalled as his successor--the Ca- his urgent attention once again to what was one of his favorite projects; he planned an entirely new 120-acre campus. Introducing the latest method of the smartest financiers in the business world to the ivory tow- ers of education, Mr. Smallwood organized the construction of what is almost certainly Can- ada's first "lease-back" campus. The first of the three four-year construction phases is already complete, and at the opening of this university year, a record number of well over 1,000 un- dergraduates registered on the new campus. "The opening of Memorial's new campus will usher in a new era for education in Newfound- land," Chesley Carter, a former teacher who now sits in our house of Commons as a Liberal MP from our 10th province, as. sured me. The opinion of this colorful Newfoundlander is inte- resting, for he has a unique as- sociation with Memorial. When the First World War ended, he was just 16 years and three months old; yet he had already served overseas for over a year with the Royal Newfound- land Regiment. He was thus young enough to be the only ex- serviceman of that war to enrol in the new university college which was opened seven years later as a memorial to the war's heroes. NEW CHANCELLOR TOO In addition to its new campus, Memorial has got a new chan- cellor too. The first outstanding friend of Newfoundland ap- pointed to that post, in 1949, was England's Viscount Rothermere, whose family had founded the island's pulp and paper business half a century earlier. He has been compelled by ill-health to Doctor Answers Readers' Queries Ry: BURTON H. FERN, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR: Ever since a major operation, my hair has been falling out. At this rate I'll soon be bald Will anything help? Mrs. K. § Dear Mrs. S.: Possibly a skin specialist! He may prescribe medicines, electric current treat- ments and stimulating scalp lo- tions. Shampoo at least twice week- ly. Keep a cool head -- don't expose your scalp to the hot mid-day sun. For healthy hair, you need a healthful diet and plenty of rest, Try not to worry about your falicut., Nervousness goes straight to the root of the prob- lem, making it worse! Dear Doctor: Does dilating the cervix during labor cause can- cer or any other trouble? Mrs. D. C. Dear Mrs. C.: The whole ob- ject of labor is to dilate the cervix so the new arrival can get through. When the cervix won't stretch, doctors have to do a Cesarean operation and hoist baby into the world through an emergency exit. Injuries and infections may make the cervix more vulner- able io cancer, but they don't cause it. Dear Doctor: My 14-year-old granddaughter came into womanhood at a very early age. Doctors say that she's normal excepi for maturing faster than other girls. Is this possible? Mrs. N. K. Dear Mrs. K.: Definitely! Such girls mature early, grow - taller than their classmates, but stop growing so early that they end up shorter than aver- age. Your granddaughter's over the worst. Her friends have caught up with her. EATING NOT ENJOYABLE , Dear Doctor: Why isn't more being done about tooth banks? Millions .of us with false teeth no longer enjoy eating. Mrs. M. M. Dear Mrs. M.: Tooth-planting experiments haven't worked out very well. As soon as antibodies recognize a foreign tooth, they attack its roots. Do your false teeth fit prop- erly? At least you don't have to worry about your waistline now that you no longer enjoy filling that cavity in your stomach! PUFFY EYELIDS Dear Doctor: What would cause the lower eyelids to puff up each morning? Mrs. A. R. Dear Mrs. R.: Sometimes merely the loose pockets that de- velop under older eyes! A circulation overloaded with salt and water or poorly stock- ed with protein tends to swollen feet during the day. After a night's sleep, some fluid may drain back to fill the loose tis- sue around the eyes. Ask your doctor about medi cines that empty salt and water throveh tha FAneve ; nadian-born Roy Thomson.

You have their thanks and how they praised you for how you welcomed them, They were highly honored and talk. ed about it all day. And to the Mayor, Christine Thomas -- she was wonderful in her wel come to us, To Local 222, UAW: how they did every- thing to make us welcome and happy and to see we did not want for anything, and to La- dies' Auxiliary 27, UAW, We have to thank Mrs. Thompson, President, and her group for the way they treated us with meals so some of us would not lose our way in your wonderful city and added to our comfort and made us welcome. To The Oshawa Times, who covered our meeting and had our reso- lutions put as we asked them to be passed by our delegates of the USCO and well-written. Thank you, reporter, for your good work. This is a thing we will long remember. I hope if USCO comes to my city, we can do the same for them as you have done to make them happy and welcome and give them the good time that you gave them. The highest regards I can give to: Mayor Christine Thomas, a fine lady. Malcolm Smith, Local 222, UAW. Russ McNeil, Secretarys« Treasurer, Local 222, UAW. To the members of Local 222, UAW. To Mrs. Thompson, President President, that I ought to make every ef. foil to induce Mr. Thomson to accept the appointment." Mr. Thomson did accept, and this, added Premier Smallwood, is a stroke of great good luck for the University and for the "@rovince. JFK VISITS RAYBURN DALLAS, Tex. (AP) -- Presi- dent Kennedy flew here Mon- day to visit Speaker Sam Ray- burn of the House of Represen- tatives, who is seriously ill with QUEEN'S PARK Mines Minister Will Be Missed By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- James Maloney will be missed around here. Mr. Maloney was the roughest and toughest fighter in the house. In debate he gave absolutely no quarter. And he had the necessary abil- ity to back this up. He was a tremendous orator. He was the last of those men of a former day to whom ora- tory was an art. A speech by him was a dra- matic production. All the changes were pulled, the voice rising from whisper to a great roar, the gift for mimicry and the unashamed use of bathos. Combine this with a high in telligence, which the late min- ister had, and you have a very formidable foe. A BATTLER Sometimes you almost writhed when Mr. Maloney was speak- ing. Politics to him was a battle. And he believed in fighting it all out. And if he happened to be at- tacking someone relatively naive you could shudder at the damage being done the man. But you always listened. For this was the best show being put on in our house in recent years. DEMPSEY SPEECH The writer's strongest mem- ory of Jim Maloney doesn't come from the house here, how- ever. It was a day in Renfrew, some years ago before Mr, Ma- lone was even a member. It was the occasion when the late Jim Dempsey, then the member for Renfrew South, had won his nomination and then had it taken away from him. There was a question of con. tracts involved, it will be re- called. Mr. Dempsey would not lie down and take rejection. He contested the nomination on the re-run. And Mr. Maloney was his main advocate. And he made a speech that those who heard it could never forget. He had people in the audience crying--yes, at a political meet- ing. And he boosted Mr. Demp- sey back with a tremendous ma- jority. WILL LAST The one great regret in Mr. Maloney's dying while still young was that there is little on the law books to leave a record of him. The minister of mines does not have the occasion to make bold moves or take steps with wide public appeal. But those of us who knew him, and particularly we who heard him often in action will never forget him. On us his impact was great, I.

Dear Sir: The seeming discrepancy 'of opinion in the United Church regarding desirability of greater support for strengthening of the UN "even at the cost of a further reduction of the national sovereignty" is caused by the misuse of editorial privilege by Rev. Dr. Forrest, editor of the United Church Observer. The editorial opinion of Dr. Forrest has been interpreted, again and again, by press, radio and TV, as the official stand of the U. C. This may be an understandable assumption, but an unfortunate and misleading one. Almost always the views of the officials of General Coun- cil and the Committee of Evan- gelism and Social Service re- garding international relations are forward-looking, progressive and hopeful of ation between nations. Mr. Forrest's view has invariably been wun. inspired, unscholarly and reac- tionary. Opinions expressed on the ed- itorial page of a Church's of- ficial organ should reflect the official opinion of the Church rather than the opinion of one man in an influential position.
