al She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Absurd Statement Made By New Socred Leader Social Credit spokesmen have been talking with great confidence about a national revival of their party. But the more their national leader, Robert N. Thompson, exposes his opinions in public addresses, the less hopeful their chances become. When he spoke to the recent British Columbia Social Credit convention -- the logical place for a major policy speech -- Mr. Thompson made an emotional attack on the New Democratic party and Canadian labor in general. He suggested, for example, that the NDP was dominated by "gangster" unions, and when reporters later seized on this re- mark and asked him to elaborate, he replied: "When Jimmy Hoffa comes up and campaigns in Toronto, that's enough for me." That sort of things may be relished by his followers in British Columbia, a province that seems to breed its own sort of political nonsense, but it can only expose the Social Credit leader to ridi- cule among those in British Columbia and elsewhere who have a better under- standing of where Hoffa and the Teams- ters fit the Canadian scene. The Teamsters, of course, have frowned on overt political action, and have stay- ed clear of the New Democratic party throughout the development stages of the NDP. They show no indication of giving it their organized support now that it has been established as a coherent organization -- and if they did, it would have to be on independent terms, be- cause they are not members of the Canadian Labor Congress, and do not enjoy the best of relations with some of the more powerful CLC members. Moreover, Hoffa was in Toronto on a matter involving his union, far removed from political action. Wes Mr. Thompson referring to unions such as the UAW or the Steel- workers? If so, his remarks become even sillier, Can anyone in this district, for example, picture Malcolm Smith or Keith Ross as gangsters, issuing orders to a terrified Tommy Thomas? Mr. Thompson may provide the country with a lot of laughter -- but people do not vote for the laugh pro- vokers. Russian Complex Probed A plausible explanation of the Soviet Union's chronic boasting and threaten- ing comes from two British sources -- the writer Edward Crankshaw, who has for many years been observing the Russian scene, in and out of Russia, and a former British intelligence officer, Brig. C. H. Dewhurst. They think that the Russians have a sort of inferiority complex, a deeply-embedded sense of fear and distrust. They trace these failings back in Russian history. Thus when Russia cast Off the Tartars late in the fifteenth century, it found Western Europe al- feady gripped by the Renaissance. Instead of breaking down the barriers to the West, Russia at first gloried in its apartness and exclusiveness and re- jected western culture as a lie. In reality, Mr. Crankshaw suggests, this was a confession of Russian ineptitude in the face of life, and resulted in a mood of atavistic sullenness, heightened by self- distrust. He continues: "From time to time Russia has tried fo catch up with the West -- under Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and now the Com- munists. After each of its previous efforts, Russia turned inward again. A century ago it hated England as the embodiment of western success. Today it hates America for the same reason, Why this hate should be necessary to- day in the face of the genuine and tremendous achievements in science and technology which Russia now has to its credit, is hard to understand." The possible explanation, he thinks, is that with its feeling of inferiority, Russia has always had an obsession with security. We wonder if such a generalization can be applied to the Russian people or only to the rulers of the people. The people have never known freedom, in the Western sense, while their rulers have always been bred to the doctrine of power through authoritarian con of the mass. There is now a difference, however. The Czars had their dreams of empire, but the Communists are reach- ing for control of the world, Corruption Of Power ' Lord Acton's judgment that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts 'absolutely" seems to be true in the man 'and woman who sits behind the wheel of a modern multi-horse-powered auto- nobile, Just as there are many who failed in the exercise of political or eco- nomic power, so there are many who foil in the proper use of power which is *Wonferred on them by a driver's licence. As with other sins, it is easy to blame Whe stars or one's luck. It was the other 'river, or a poor highway, or faulty Brakes, It is always the fell clutch of circumstances. Of course, it is true that the "breaks" are against us sometimes, But more often we fail to observe the rules of careful driving and often we fail to rule our . sgwn temper and our own mood, says Rabbi Jacob Weinstein. We let the crowded lanes choke the serenity within us; we permit the exhaust fumes and the impatient horns to mute our native courtesy. We allow the fear of being late to dinner or to a meeting drive us into the crazy gamble of venturing a life for a paltry few minutes, Often we let the steady purr of a high compression motor, lull us into forget- fulness of a truth which it is death to hide; namely that every person who holds a steering wheel guides a mighty missile, projects a two-ton bomb at high speed on areas heavily populated with precious human beings. Constant courtesy, unfailing patience, and eternal vigilance are the necessary balance wheels of such heavy respon- sibility.

(Stratford Beacon-Herald) In Toronto, where the public trans- portation system needs large amounts of money to finance its subway-building program, it has been argued by respon- sible civic leaders that in the long run it will be cheaper for the taxpayer to finance public transportation, that to provide the road-ways and the parking areas for all the automobile traffic that would try to get downtown if there were no public transportation. It might be cheaper, taking the extreme case, to run a free bus for 35 passengers, than to provide street and parking space for private automobiles with the same 35 people in them. s IN ly Oe SEGA Ne a a. 4 b S/IMNPKINS 'YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE A GOPHER' REPORT FROM U.K. Jet Plane Noise Airport Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Ministry of Avia- tion officials responsible for the operation of the massive London Airport have, since the advent of jet air travel, been at their wits' end trying to cope with the complaints of nearby residents regarding the noise of these giant planes arriving and departing. The night noise prob- lem has been partly solved by prohibiting the arrival or de- parture of the giant jets be- tween the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. That is only a partial solution, because with the steady increase of traffic, these non-jet hours can only be re- garded as a temporary expedi- ent which sooner or later will have to be discarded. New hope for the sufferers from the noise of aircraft en- gines,, however, has come from another source, from the air- craft industry itself. It recog- mizes that, since noise is an unavoidable factor in all mod- ern aircraft engines, it has be- come an insidious instrusion or the daily lives of people ex- posed to it. WORKING ON PROBLEM Recognizing this problem, the aircraft industry is now con- ducting an intensive program of research with one objective in view, to lessen the noise of modern aircraft engines. While wil aircraft have to comply INSIDE YOU Colic May Cause Baby's Screams By BURTON H. FERN, MD What could make a tiny baby shriek and scream all the time? Colic -- irritable crying and gas - filled tummy - aches that strike when Baby's only a few weeks old! He howls unt!! he's exhausted, unless escaping gas deflates his tummy-ache. A hot water. bottle or the warmth of your chest may soothe his colic. Occasionaiiy, a suppository or small enema can release painful bubbles and quict uncontrollable screaming. Traditionally three months, colic may linger lots longer. Many conditions cause it. That's why most remedies work some of the time, but none all of the time! MORE FOOD When a hungry baby cries for doubles, an extra bottle can bring hours of quiet. Your doc- tor may change the formula. Indigestible sugar explodes into gallons of gas inside tiny intes- tines. If Baby's allergic to cow's milk, you'll find new peace in soybean, goat's milk or other special formulas. Unless the nipple's firmly in his mouth, air will pour down with formula. A clogged nipple also makes him suck in extra air. Bloated, he drinks only a few ounces. But air soon moves on, Jeaving his stomach empty and hungry -- and he cries! For free-flowing formula, cut a %" cross at the top of each nipple. Even milky scum can flow through this four-flap valve. Hold Baby in the crook of your arm with his trunk upright while he nurses. As air floats to the top of his stomach, it comes up easily. Bubble him every ounce or so -- more if necessary. HELPFUL TREATMENT Ask. your doctor about lime water USP. A teaspoon in each bottle often quiets colic. Cud- dling, sedatives and pacifiers help, too. Remember, every mother needs time off from colic's fever pitch. Don't feel selfish leaving your youngster howling and screaming in someone else's arms. When you return, relaxed and refreshed, Baby will appreciate the change more than you! BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO John Gibson, chosen by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club as Osh- awa's most worthy citizen of the year, was tendered a testi- monial banquet. Representatives of the press from all over Ontario were en- tertained at a luncheon given + Ppa Motors of Canada, Ltd. P. B. MacEwen, who was moving to London, was honor- ed by the Oshawa Boy Scout Association, of which he was secretary. The Oshawa Poultry and Pet Stock Association annual show opened with between 900 and 1,000 entries. Charles Peacock, son of Mr. and Mrs, C. H. Peacock, Osh- awa, was elected president of the Kingston Kiwanis Club. A motion was presented to city council by Alderman A. § McLeese asking that the pro- vincial government appoint a Royal Commission to investi- gée taxation. Northminster United Church, which was built 10 years ago at the corner of Arlington and Simcoe street north, closed for alterations and repairs since there was an urgent need for greater accommodation, espe- cially in the Sunday School and for young people's work. Simcoe Street United Church held an impressive Candle Lighting Service under the aus spices of the Canadian Girls in Training groups of Oshawa and district, when Rev. Dr. Archer Wallace delivered a challeng- ing and inspiring address. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gulliver, pioneer residents of the Whitby district, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. New 1937 models of McLaugh- lin-Buick, Chevrolet and Pon- tiac cars were introduced at a convention of sales representa- tives in Oshawa. Harmony Home and School Association met in the 'school with Mrs. A. E. Shaw, conven- er of Home Science for the Council, the guest speaker. with strict rules to lessen noise while flying over populated areas, legislation alone is not enough to produce quiet air- craft. Regulations against the sonic bangs of craft breaking through the sound barrier have proved very effective. But with the public demanding higher and higher speeds in their air travel, regulations will not be enough to quieten the aircraft. The research that has al- ready been done and is continu- ing is having some good re- sults. British and. American scientists and technicians have worked hard to muffle the rasping roar of jet exhausts, and already have met with con- siderable success. They are now making the claim that the noise made by jets in airline service has been so much re- duced that it is less than that of most heavy piston engines. ON PRIORITY LIST Research into new and better engine silencers is high on the engine manufacturers' priority lists. A prominent part in this work is also being played by the National Gas Turbine Es- tablishment, the National Physi- cal Laboratory and the Air craft Department of Southamp- ton. At the same time, develop- ment work is rapidly proceed- ing on the new bypass and turbofan engines, which have relatively low afflux velocities and are therefore much quieter than straight jet airlcraft. One typical new engine is the Bristol Siddeley BS.75, intended to power a new aircraft which is to be the successor to the Viscount and Convair. Com- pared with a straight jet of comparable power, the BS;75 offers a 50 per cent reduction in noise level, It also provides a 25 per cent increase in take- off thrust, resulting in a short- e: take-off run and a steeper climb. QUEEN'S PARK Robarts Qualities Largely Concealed - -By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One final point of test of Hon. John Robarts. How will he stack up personally? Will he be a man of decision? Will he dare to be bold? Will he be a leader? Or will he be a "head" of a government? To all of them the answer is: who knows? NOT KNOWN Mr. Robarts, in his years here, has been a man who hasn't given much of his deep self. He has always been reason- ably cordial, but also has been reserved. He never has been a great mixer. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Our lowbrow statistician re- lg that the ratio of the num- er of people who say they understand and enjoy abstract art, to the number of people who actually understand and enjoy it is, respectively 167 to 1. It is wondered what the per- son who says it is thinking about when he says, "War is un- thinkable." "It is virtually impossible for a man to teach his wife to drive a car," says a traffic expert. Well, yes; no doubt that's high up on a long list of things it's all but impossible for a man to teach his wife. "Everybody ought to have employment commensurate with his intelligence," says a psy- chologist. We disagree. There are already far too many people loafing. "There are only five million morons in the United States," says a psychiatrist. They cer- tainly do get around don't they? A new necktie is made of glass -- probably to meet the demand for something to har- monize with a pain in the neck. And so relatively little is really known about him. HARD WORKER About all there is to judge on is his record, and particularly the months he has spent as minister of education. And what does one come up with from this? First, that he is a hard worker who got a grasp of this difficult department quickly, That he soon earned the re- spect and admiration of his staff. That the department made definite progress once he took over. Also that he handled himself extremely well in the house and in public when defending the de- , partment's policies. TOO TIMID? Against this there were indi- cations that he might be a bit timid about going too far too fast. Grade 13 examinations are an example. Marking of the results of these was so slow that stu- dents were put at a disadvan- tage in being accepted at uni- versities. He recognized this and prom- ised to try and speed the proce- dures. He did--this year--but only by a week, Then there were the very im- portant changes in the second- ary school system. He had worked these out. But when he announced them he seemed afraid the public might know their real importance. Re- porters had a difficult time dig- ging out the real significance of the changes. NO CLUES This however, could have been no more than legal cau- tion, (lawyers often qualify so much that reporters need other lawyers to explain to them just what is being said). In fact they might indicate nothing at all, Our new premier is a man we will have to judge from his fu- ture. There just aren't many clues in his past.
