Bye Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario . WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Hasty Young Countries Blind To UN Dangers Nations pressing for the expulsion of South Africa from the United Nations are following a dangerous course. Such action would set moral standards for UN membership, and what nation could then qualify? We have on many occasions in these columns criticized South Africa's racial policies. But our dislike of apart- heid does not blind us to the fact that many of South Africa's bitterest critics, patticularly among the new African na- tions, are themselves exponents of racial- ism. Time and again the votes of Africans and Asians in the United Nations have indicated that they are interested only in what white men do to non-whites; they are not interested in what whites do to whites (they are vastly indifferent, for example, to the colonialism imposed on a large part of Europe by the Rus- sians), and they do not greatly care what non-whites do to non-whites, unless they are directly involved (the dispute be- tween India and Pakistan over Kashmir is an example). This sort of thing is racialism, with consequences just as dangerous as those of apartheid. Ghana, one of the most savage critics of South Africa, is now virtually a police state. Should it, too, be ejected from the United Nations because of the policies of Nkrumah? Can the Soviet Union and China qualify? Can Ameri- can treatment of its "second-class citi- zens" be condoned, or Canadian attitudes towards Indians and Eskimos? The expulsion could very well un- dermine the UN structure, which cannot stand much more damage. Ironically, the ones to suffer the most from a UN col- lapse would be the young states now crying for stern action against the South African Union, The UN is not a society of the right- eous. It is a meeting place of nations, where differences can be talked about and perhaps settled without resort to violence. It can be, some day, the in- strument of world order in an inter- national society governed by law and justice. But to do that it must first of all survive. That is the important thing now. Another Fallout: Noise Oshawa, split as it is by two highways and with railway branch lines running along and across main streets, is a fairly noisy city, even without the silly wedding parties that go whirling about the streets with car horns blasting. Residents will have sympathy for the resolution put before the Union of B.C. Municipal- ities recently by North Vancouver. The British Columbia municipality wants some enforceable anti-noise measure, and complains that the province's Motor Vehicle Act provisions governing noise are vague almost to the point of being unenforceable, "Research in the literature of noise and acoustics shows this is only to be expected," the Vancouver Sun com- mented about the resolution. Noise has nowhere been adequately defined. The law recognizes noise, but mainly only by the opinions of those who hear it and don't like it. The Sun says: A current announcement by the RCAF in relation to muffling jet engines at- tempts to give facts and figures on engine noise but it is unintentionally misleading because existing ratings of noise are subject to any of a number of different interpretations. The RCAF release rates a whisper at 20 decibels, ordinary conversation at 65 Other scales give these as 10 and 30 decibels. Loud thunder has been rated at 115 decibels and a jet engine at a quarter of a mile at 140 For the layman the decibel system is confusing in itself. The decibel is not a unit, but a logarithmic ratio. A riveter at 100 decibels is not 10 times as loud as a 10-decibel whisper, but 100 million tires as loud. The importance of noise is that much modern city and industrial noise ap- proaches the 120 decibel level, where sound can become feeling and pain and inflict physical injury. Even much below that level long exposure can have serious nervous and physical effects. Jet noise at 140 decibels is 100 times the 120 decibel pain and injury level. As the RCAF states, "It can damage body tissues, interfere with the senses, impair brain functions and even trip air- craft curcuits." The cumulative effect of noises far below the 120 level has never been properly measured, but it has been blamed for the modern upsurge in im- paired hearing, and neurotic behavior. The North Vancouver resolution calls attention to one aspect of modern city life that needs much more investigation and research than it nervous diseases now receives Noise is a continuing and damaging "fallout" on the human ear against which no one has designed an adequate shelter. British Immigration Some visits to the United Kingdom have ex- pressed some alarm about the U.K's Oshawa residents planning new Commonwealth Immigration Bill, They have nothing to worry about. Our London correspondent, McIntyre Hood. writes: "Under the terms of the there is little cause for Canadians, New Zealanders or Australians to worry about being allowed to enter the United King- dom as immigrants. Health, security and a previous criminal record are the only grounds for rejection provided in the bill. have She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Genera! Manager Cc.

The provisions for admittance are alrnost exactly the same as those required by Canada from British people seeking to come here. Canadians cannot very well object to the new bill, therefore, unless we are willing to charge our own im- migration laws. But while our laws do have some prohibitions on the grounds of color or racial origin, there are no such restrictions in the new British bill; the check there is by teans of the skill and job requirement. Mr. Hood Notes: "There is... so small e@ flow of immigrants from Canada coming to Britain to seek employment that the bill will affect only a very few Canadians, Experience has shown that Canadians coming here either have an assurance of work, have relatives who can vouch for them, or have means of self-support. In most cases, they are in categories which are in demand in this country." Bible Thought Where envying and strife is, there is confusion. -- James 3:16.

QUEEN'S PARK Robarts Expected To Act Cautiously By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--No bold new steps are to be expected out of the Robarts government for a while. Most likely the next several months will see the greatest ef- fort centered on the PC organ- ization The immediate target of Mr Robarts and his supporters will be the next federal election And the first task that must be undertaken is a thorough renovation of the party's poli- tical machinery NEXT SUMMER Until next summer, therefore, we quite probably can expect more or less stand-pat govern- ment What will have to be done will be done, but there will be little stepping out into new fields. This years session, in fact, REPORT FROM U.K. Liquor Licensing Changes Assessed By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain's new liquor licensing laws are now in effect. They came into oper- ation at the beginning of No- vember, and already assess- ments are being made as to how some of the new provisions are working out in actual prac- tice. It will take some time for the customers of. public houses to become accustomed to some of the new regulations. Mean- while, many of "the public house licencees are already finding it troublesome to keep their customers in line with the new laws One of the changes which is causing some difficulty in the' early stages is one customers who are bar at the by which still in the regulation closing time will be allowed an extra 10 minutes '"'drinking-up" time This extra 10 minutes of grace applies to both forenoon and evening drinking periods CAUSING TROUBLE Licencees are already re porting that this extra 20 min utes for drinking is causing them some trouble. From the customers' joint of view it is a good move. There will be no more snatching of half-emptied glasses away from them when the landlord announces 'Time Gentlemen, Please" in the time honored way. But the landlords have already found that many of their customers simply re- gard this as a 10-minute exten- sion of the permitted hours of the public houses. They are having trouble in resisting at- tempts to order more drinks during this 10-minute period. Actually, it is intended only to give drinkers time to consume the drinks they have ordered and have in front of them when closing time is an- nounced The new legislation provides for three new types of licences which did not previously exist. These are: 1, A restaurant li- cence for the sale of drinks with table meals. 2. A residen- tial licence for the sale of drinks to residents of private hotels and boarding houses. 3. A combined residential and restaurant licence for hotels with a public restaurant. It is now legal for off-licence premises to sell liquor all day, instead of during specified limited hours. Drinking will be allowed until three a.m, in cer- tain hotels, restaurants and reg- istered clubs in. the London West End It will be much more simple than formerly for restaurants and boarding houses to secure the new li cences to serve drinks with meals STIFFER PENALTIES On the other side of the pic ture, however, are much more severe penalties for offences against the law and the setting up of some offences. The pen alties for knowingly serving drink to persons under 18 have been made much stiffer. It will also be an offence to send chil- dren to an off-licence store to buy beer or other alcoholic bev- erages, this being a radical de- parture from old principles, un- der which parents could send their children to buy _ their drink for them at these stores. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Col. Fraser Hunter, MLA, de- livered a most interesting sx challenging uddress at the an- nual Armistice dinner at the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion Lebanon Lodge No. 139, AF and AM, celebrated its 75th an- niversary with a birthday ban- quet. The first Wor. Master of the Lodge, 1860-64, was tke late Wor. Bro. S. B. Fairbanks. The Oshawa Poultry Pigeon and Pet Stock Association con- cluded its four-day exhibition. Oshawa owners who won prizes included J. Brooks, T. Wragg, David Wragg, Bruce Askew, W. Hunter, R. Cook, T. Bingham and H. Quinton of Whitby. The Brotherhood of First Bap tist Church held an informal banquet with Mack Soanes the guest speaker and E. A. Bed- ford who represented the Broth- erhood of Simcoe Street United Church, was the guest soloist Centre. Street Home and School Association celebrated its 16th birthday at its regular meeting in the form of a ban- quet. F. C. Cannon, Mrs. A. W. Jacklin, Dr. C. O. Miller, Mrs. Gertrude Colpus, Mrs. L. Dis- ney and Mrs R. S. McLaughlin were guests on the program Following the example of King Edward VIII and Lord Bessbor- ough, former Governor General of Canada, the Duke of Kent selected a Canadian car built by General Motors of Canada ia Oshawa. Rev G. V. Crofoot of Gueiph accepted a call to become min- ister of First Baptist Church. probably will be largely an op- position session. Both the Liberals and the NPDs are in a position to be more aggressive than in the past. But once the federal vote is over, you would look to Mr. Robarts to move. He will then have a year be- fore he has to go to the polls-- providing the national election is held in the spring--and he will want to make ready. Then we can expect to see him form his first real cabinet-- the cabinet he will choose strictly on his own personal judgment And we can look forward to seeing new policies and program planks in line with his personal thinking. AVOIDS TROUBLE He should not be hurt seri- ously by such a stand-by period. One definite impression the new premier has given is that he will be able to keep out of trouble in the house. In his approach in his years as a member and a minister he has been much like Premier Frost. He has shown he can keep quiet, personal control and not be baited into arguments unless he feels 'there is good ground for gains. ECONOMIC ACTION One' exception to this general course, probably will be the new department of. economics and development. Changes and new policies can be expected out of it almost im- mediately. Hon. Robert Macaulay is not a man to sit back. Having devoted much of his leadership campaign to eco- nomic development he undoubt- edly has some well-formed ideas now. And he won't delay in putting them into action. Which is just as well -- not only for the sake of the province but for the health of the Ro- barts government as well. It is obvious now that eco- homic development will take the spot-light at this year's session. And it is a matter that will grow, not shrink, in importance. it is one field in which inac- tivity would be most hard to de- fend PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Then there was the fellow who had athlete's tongue because he put his foot in his mouth so often No doubt the reason Russia refused to vie with the West in a race for peace, as urged by President Kennedy, is that she has had little or no experience in doing peacework Today's morsel for thought: If you have no fallout shelter, you wouldn't have to shoot neighbors to keep them from breaking into it. ey Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP.

I was asked by a a very modest economic slump caused doubt to invade some of our people, and depressing prop- aganda, detrimental to the best Certain politicians, anxious to find personal advantage in our , national anxiety, tightly offered prophesies of distress and mis- fortut.e. Fortunately our econ- omy is strong enough to resist these harmful influences. But unfortunately this spread outside Canada. et papers of England and France have depicted our economic cli- mate in very gloomy colors. 1 have no hesitation in that itis a r example of patriot- ism to lose faith in our strength value of taxi-driver who picked me UP jnterests of the Canadian citi- and to minimise the at London Airport, during a re- zen, caused disastrous results. our present and future power." cent, visit to Britain. "Yes, I'm a Canadian," I re- plied. "Gor, you're a Canadian, are you? We don't seem to be so fond of you Canadians now as we used to was," replied the philosopher-driver. And from that point we had a friendly and, to me, very il- luminating conversation. That Cockney evidently read ~ his newspapers keenly, and had ab- sorbed a lot of their at-a-glance views on Canada. "Those immigrants who come back don't half gripe," he told me. Be I tell you a funny thing. I often pick up Limeys at the airport who have come home on a visit. Happy as larks, they always are. Just brought the kids over to see granmuvver; and father wants 'to treat his pals to a pint at the local; but I never met one who here." IMAGE BLACKENED What do they really think of us in Britain? Made curious by that loquacious taxi - driver, I quietly probed nearly everyone I met. The Canadian stock market has behaved disappointingly said the investors. The take- over of B.C. Electric at an ar- bitrary and seemingly unfairly low price really shocked many people, who asked if Canada was becoming another Cuba, with wholesale expropriations. We have got a bad press through sensationalism hung on a few returning immigrants. But worst of all, we seem to have got ourselves a bad name by the accident and miscalcula- tion of some of our politicians, Over here, we can assess ac- curately the gloom and doom talk of critics of the govern- ment. But those same speeches, intended for domestic consump- tion, have attained widespread 'readership in Britain. Remarks made in Canada by Canadian politicians for their own Cana- dian political ends have boom- eranged badly. British readers now believe that we are indeed a country of gloom and doom, with disastrous unemployment, misery, and an uncertain fu- ture. I asked a lawyer here, who has a big British real estate company as a client, what his friends think of Canada today. "They have asked me to try to find a buyer for their Cana- dian interests; take all their money out of Can- ada," he told me glumly. I asked a Liberal MP whose law firm has as a client a large Swiss investment group, the same question. "They have just decided to switch half their in- vestments out of Canada," he answered. : I asked one of our top govern- ment public relations directors what his experience had been on a recent trip through western Europe. "Sometimes I felt ashamed to admit that I am a Canadian." he replied. 'Our name stinks." TRUTH IS BRIGHT Sure, two or three years ago the less responsible sensational- ist newspapers in Britain did us a great disservice by their stor- ies about immigrants who could not find work in Canada. True, too, that our stock exchange has not enjoyed as booming a boom recently as some in western Europe. And true, alas, that the Social Credit government of British Columbia did our credit abroad a grave disservice by the manner of its expropriation of B.C. Electric. But the deepest wound has been inflicted by some _politi- cians who were recently chided by Hon. Pierre Sevigny, in these words: "During the last three years, LOCAL SUPPORT PIETERMARITZBURG, South Africa (AP)--The former Zulu chief Albert Luthuli, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to the chagrin of the South African white - supremacist government got a big boost in his home province of Natal.
