She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario PRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Clean Or Dirty Future Depends On The Present The three fundamental necessities for human survival are clean air, clean water and productive earth. Man has selfishly and blindly polluted the air and the water, and misused the earth. He continues to do so, while making some tentative effort to correct the mistakes of the past; he is dirtying his environment more rapidly than he is removing the old filth. Pollution and waste have been main subjects of discussion at this week's great Resources for Tomorrow Con- ference in Montreal. Dr. Morris Katz, chief air pollution officer in the federal health department, told a workshop discussion that some- thing must be done quickly to clean up the air, the most neglected of the country's natural resources. Science, he said, is still trying to identify the subs- tances which pollute the atmosphere and cost Canadians about $500 million a year in damage to crops, clothing, build- ings and health. Another workshop produced these re- commendations: The creation of a water pollution division, within Prime Minister Diefen- baker's proposed national resources council; regulatory boards to control: water pollution in each province, and to carry out a program of assessment of pollution problems with the established municipalities and industries; the federal government to take the lead in the study of water pollution. Only Ontario, New Brunswick and British Columbia have passed legislation concerning the control of water pollution. Then the Conference was told by A. D. Crerar, B.C. research planner, that by the year 2000 Southern Ontario will be dominated by one vast urban area, stretching from Cobourg to Lon- don and north to include Peterborough and Barrie. He foresaw another huge urban sprawl across the lower Fraser River valley in British Columbia, and a third along the St. Lawrence, east from Cornwall to Three Rivers. The Crerar prediction is certainly no wild prophecy. The yearly spread of the urban areas gives it the appearance of inevitability. Unless there is vigorous planning and enlightened legislation by all three levels of government in Canada, the urban growth will continue to mean more polluted air, more polluted water and more reduction of first-grade agricultural land -- land that cannot be replaced, unless we learn to control our climate or some miracle occurs to change it for us. Let us try to imagine that Cobourg- Peterborough-Barrie-London urban com- plex. Would the beautiful Ganaraska valley, for example, be largely a recre- ational area within the built-up area, or would it be covered with houses, factories and four-lane highways? Would there still be trout in the streams and wild life in the woods and meadows, or would the streams be open sewers, the tobacco fields parking lots and the woods forgotten victims of the bulldozer? These are not idle questions. The mil- lions living in the huge Ontario super- metropolis will need some sort of breathing space. The Kawarthas, the Haliburtons and the Muskokas will be on the northern rim of the. urban sprawl, which will be bounded on the south by the lake. Will the present splendid resort areas be able to retain their priceless recre- ational value? Will there be any subs- tantial public access to Lake Ontario? There are, obviously, questions of immense importance to be pondered and answered quickly, because of the growth of the super-city has been under way for more than a decade, and only a catastrophe can halt its continued growth in the decades ahead. Yet little is being done either by municipal or provincial governments to ensure that the growth will have some directing intelligence and not produce an ever larger jungle of concrete, asphalt and brick, divided by filthy, sluggish streams and covered by a pall of deadly polluted air. Spain's Proud Beggar On his twenty-fifth anniversary as dictator of Spain, Francisco Franco could proudly point out how far his regime bas emerged from the well-deserved ostracism it received for two decades from the Western European democracies. "Our major difficulties have been over- come," he said in a celebration speech. If he was referring to near-bankruptcy averted, he was correct -- thanks to American aid, the Christian Science Monitor points out. If he was referring to a rescue from stunted' economic growth and isolation from the commerce and culture of Europe, he was correnct -- thanks to American-backed Spanish membership in OEEC. If by "major difficulties overcome" he meant the weathering of strike threats, student resistance, and exile activity, he was at least temporarily correct--thanks to the shoring up of his military and economic power after Washington's aid began. But if he meant to convey that his Falangist system of dictatorship is to be credited with these very qualified successes, he is demonstrably wrong. She Oshawa ines T.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 _ 17,363 Senor Franco defined his govern- ment's position as being a third path be- tween liberal capitalism and communism. Then, in an audacious bit of doubletalk he stated that Spain had "an organic democracy unmarred by the spectacle of free elections." It's that unmarring that mars the whole system, and should make Wash- ington doubly cautious about sending along the nuclear weapons the Generalis- simo now is believed to want. Other Editors' Views Disarmer's Motives (Economist) Certainly, the disarmers have to ask themselves whether their antipathy to the bomb in Britain is based on their own desire to live or on a desire to defend humanity from destruction. If the form- er, they have no claim to morality; if the latter, it is possible to deplore their judgment while applauding their moral courage. But the British are prone to overrate their moral influence with other countries. There is every reason for mak- ing fears and wishes known by demon- stration. But merely reviling one's own government is seldom the best way "of earning public sympathy. Who'll Pour Tea? (Galt Evening Reporter) As we ambled around the market square Saturday morning, a small, frail, elderly woman stepped up to us and in a soft voice made this comment: "I notice today it. has become customary in the case of new buildings to have an open house. I wonder if they will have an open house to officially open that new comfort station and who will be pour- ing tea?" That's a cute one. and surely original.

Specifically, a Montreal air- craft manufacturer named Cana- dair Limited hopes that funds, approved by Parliament for the purchase of more aircraft by TCA, would be spent on its own CL-44 freighter-aircraft. At the same time a Quebec air line finds itself in financial difficul- ties on routes where it had suc- cessfully sought a licence to operate, and hopes that those difficulties could be relieved if TCA would quit its partly-com- peting routes. This situation has led to the spontaneous eruption of the most widespread, varied and vigorous public protest seen here for a long while. Transport Minister Balcer and Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker have been de- ' Juged by deputations, telegrams and letters, coming from labor unions, the air pilots' associa- tion, chambers of commerce, and mayors of communities all along the Quebec north shore of the St. Lawrence River, and the Saguenay region. These varied parties are united in asking two things. First, that the government please not permit the taxpayers' own airline, TCA, to abandon them and deprive them of its satisfactory service with modern equipment and a safety record unexcelled in Canada; second, that TCA continue to be equipped with the best available aircraft for the job on hand. POLITICAL OVERTONES At the same time, political op- ponents of the government are aware of this situation, and are waiting for the moment when and if the .»overnment should advise TCA to quit the North Shore run between Quebec City, Chicoutimi and Seven Islands. TCA obtained that route from Canadian Pacific Airlines, by barter in exchange for the luc- rative run to Mexico. "What was the cash equiva- lent value of that barter?" and "What price did the taxpayers of Canada receive for surrender- ing that run?" are two ques- tions the political opposition are waiting to ask the government --if. The matter of equipping TCA with new planes is an equally tricky problem. It is naturally the policy of the government to "buy Canadian" whenever pos- sible, to create jobs in Canada and to stimulate the Canadian economy generally. Thus Canadair Limited has good grounds for hoping that TCA should buy its CL-44 freighter aircraft, rather than the US-made DC-8Fs which it would prefer to buy. But, and it is a big "'but", the CL-44 is a nearly obsolete propeller-driven aircraft; it cruises at 400 miles per hour contrasted to the DC-8F's 595; it has a range of 3,000 miles contrasted to the big jet's 3,800; it can carry a pay- load of 30 tons of freight, while the DC-8F can carry all this and 111 passengers too. Insuperable is the jet's advantage that it can carry those passengers in addi- tion to, or in place of, freight. FREE ENTERPRISE These somewhat technical de- tails constitute a double contro- versy reviving an old debate: should a free-enterprise govern- ment operate, through crown corporations, in competition with private business? And should a government support domestic in- dustries willy-nilly? The department of defence production is naturally leaning over backwards to '"'buy Cana- dian". But it is doing this to the point of equipping our defence forces with weapons not of their choice and not of the most effi- cient type available. It is equally questionable whether any gov- ernment should play fast and loose with the taxes and the physical safety of its citizens in INSIDE YOU Doctor Answers Readers Queries By BURTON H. FERN, MD Dear Doctor: My chest, arms and shoulders are covered with brown spots. Now, small red spots are breaking out, too. I'm tired all the time. What could cause this? Mr. M. H. Dear Mr. H.: Any number of conditions could cause it, rang- ing from long years of outdoor living to a few short months of liver trouble. Your doctor can tell which. Dear Doctor: Every few weeks painful right - sided cramps keep me rushing to the bathroom. Other times i have bloating gas pains that even wake me up. I want a checkup, but my doc- tor tells me to forget about it. What should I do? Mrs, C. V. Dear Mrs. V.: Forget about this doctor! You need one who-- after checking for serious ill- ness -- will treat those troubles, which are certainly serious to you. Soothing medicines and diets without roughage can relax in- testinal cramps WILL THEY HELP? Dear Doctor: Will boiled pea- nuts help colitis, too? Mrs. R. B. Dear Doctor: Will roasted peanuts and peanut butter also help ileitis? Mr. B. G. Dear Mrs. B. and Mr. G.: Boiled peanuts have helped at least one ileitis sufferer. No one knows whether they can quiet colitis, too, or whether roasted peanuts and peanut butter work as well. Consult your doctor about any diet change. And help others suffering from these conditions by telling us your results, whether good or bad. We will relay all informa- tion. GLUTEN-FREE DIET Dear Doctor: Where can I find wheat gluten-free bread? Mr. R. G. Dear Mr. G.: Many larger bakeries sell a gluten-free loaf. At home use rice, soya or corn flour for muffins and biscuits. Wheat cakes, wheat cereals and pastries have to go, too, if you want to toast the benefits of a gluten-free diet! HISTORIC FAIR Canada's oldest fair, at Wind- sor, N.S., first held in 1765, has been renewed annually without interruption since 1815. either defence or the increas- ingly complex and costly opera- tion of an airline utility. In the end, of course, satis- factory solutions are being con- ceived by Leon Balcer, who is emerging in his new portfolio not only as an excellent cabinet member, but also as a transport minister second to none in liv- ing memory. "The government has other means available to help the pri- vate airline," he assured one disquieted delegation. 'You can rest happy that the status quo of TCA will be maintained." And that looks likely to apply to both matters. Harrow's Guards Provoke Citizens By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times HARROW, Middlesex -- .The famous public school of Har- row, at which Sir Winston Churchill received his early education, and of which he is its most distinguished old boy, has always been a source of pride to the people of the bor- ough of Harrow. They looked up to where it stands on Har- row-on-the-Hill, and told visit- ors: "That is where Churchill went to school," as if they shared largely in its reflected glory. Things are changed today. The people of Harrow are look- ing on the school. with a mix- ture of envy and anger, with anger predomirfiating. This new attitude, they say, is entirely due to the activities of the men of the borough police force, who, they claim, are discrimin- ating in favor of the sons of nobility attending the famous public school, and against their own children attending the more dest i hool POLICE DUTIES Every morning a quota of three or four police officers is in attendance on Harrow Hill. Their specific duty is to see the boater-wearing boys ef the Harrow School safely across busy Harrow Hill between pray- ers and their first lessons. These policemen are being giv- én far from friendly glares by the mothers of small children attending the local primary schools. The reason for the unkind glances is that while three and sometimes four officers 'see the Harrow boys safely across the hill, only one police cadet is assigned t6 the task of steering the seven-year-old 'pupils of Roxeth Hill Junior Primary School across a give-way cross- ing. That is the cause of the wrath of the mothers. NOT ALWAYS THERE The mothers' protest is strengthened by the fact that quite often there is not even a police cadet available, and their children have to cross the roads--often regarded as a danger black spot--alone. So the mothers have got together to send a protest petition to the BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Members of the Oshawa Hunt Club left for their annual hunt at Cromby Bay. They in- cluded George Miller, W. A. Coad, F. J. Bailes, John Stacey, Thomas Gale, S. B. Trick, C. M. Mundy, Louis Germond, Ernest J. Hart and James Carnwith. A splendid showing was made by the Ontario Regiment at its annual inspection by Brigade Commander Col. H. S. Cooper. The Mausoleum at the Union Cemetery was completed and declared opened with fitting ceremonies. The cost was close to $100,000. The Home and School Coun- cil meeting was held in Centre Street Assembly Hall with the President, Mrs. R. S. Mc- Laughlin, in the chair, The chief speaker was A. E. O'Neill, principal of OCVI, who spoke on the examination system and its faults. A representative crowd gath- ered on the farms of R. H. Dearborn and Sidney Jewell, Columbus, for the Ontario Picwing Match. The local win- ners included E. Fice of East Whitby and W. Scott. The building program in the city showed no sign of a lull. New buildings included a Can- ada Bread plant, a church, Adams Furniture store, altera- tions to the Oshawa Railway Co. plant and several _resi- dences. Simcoe Street United Church congregation and its minister, Rev. Dr. H. S. Dougall ob- served the passing of another milestone in the church's his- tory with special services preached by Rev. George Brown, President of Bay of Quinte Conference. Gordon Lefebre, general man- ager of General Motors of Can- ada, presented Oshawa General Hospital with a magnovox radio for use of the patients, in ap- preciation of the care he re- ceived while a patient in the hospital. Following a trip of inspection around the city while a visitor here, Rotarian Governor Joseph Hanley was most impressed with the War Memorial in Me- morial Park. He remarked that it was one. of the finest monu- ments he had seen and the idea behind it was wonderfully con- ceived. members of parli t for the borough of Harrow, Said one irate mother: "The Harrow boys are much older than our children, yet be- cause they go to a famous pub- lic school, they receive prefer- ential treatment. It seems scandalous to me that class distinction should affect chil- dren's lives." POLICE DISAGREE On one point, a police spokes- man said that the mothers' complaints were at variance with the facts. He said that ow- ing to the heavy volume of traffic using Harrow High Street, a police constable helps. the children across the road in front of the Harrow school and is there to detect and prevent traffie offences. At peak times, a motor-cycle officer also pat- rols the area. His duties are to control the speed of vehicles and to prevent a build-up of Stationary traffic. He said a police constable or a police cadet was always present near the Roxeth Pri- mary School to ensure the safe crossing of the road by the pu- pils. H But he had nothing to say in reply to the charge that three or four constables safeguarded the little Harrow School pupils, while the. primary school chil- dren were left to the care of a police cadet.
