She. Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1961 -- PAGE © Reassuritig Statement On Ontario Camp Sites The Ontario minister of lands and forests, the Hon. Wilfred Spooner, made a fast, decisive and proper reply to the proposal of the tourist court operators that the government do something to ' equalize the "competition" between them and provincial parks. He made it clear that: the parks program would not be curtailed, the charge to campers would not be increased during the next * couple of years at least, and that camp sites could scarcely 'be described as competitors of motels.and motor courts. It would indeed be tragic if the pro- vincial government were persuaded to * cut back its excellent parks program. ' The past decade has seen more and more * people turn to the outdoors for relaxa- tion and recreation; new resort areas have blossomed as roads have been pushed into hitherto inaccessible areas, * and as quickly as camp sites have been opened in provincial parks they have ' been filled by people seeking some sur- cease 'from the ever-increasing complex- ities of the cities. And the provincial camp sites have provided families, who- might otherwise not be able to afford full-scale vacations, with the opportunity to enjoy regular holidays or weekends beside Jakes and rivers far from their homes. The resort operators have shared in the travel boom. In some places, possibly, they have over- built; in some cases they have over-charged; and in some cases they have failed to promote their facilities, In such cases, they can only blamé themselves for reduced patronage. They have had some justified complaints -- as, for example, theirt difficulties in financing improvements and extensions. But they have, in gen- eral, prospered enough to inspire nothing but public criticism of efforts to make a camp site holiday more expensive for the thousands who enjoy sleeping in a tent and cooking over a camp stove or a wood fire for a few days every year. Mr. Frost's Neutrality | Mr. Fros® was barely out of the premier's office before he was bitterly criticized for "lack. of neutrality" in the York Hotel strike, By pretty devious sleight-of-logic it was proved that Mr. Frost's profession of neutrality in the dispute was discredited by his moving out of the hotel, where | he had had a suite for a number of years. Royal some It was a most unfair attack, particu- larly in view of Mr. Frost's personal efforts to bring about a settlement of the dispute. As it happened, he did not succeed in his mediation, but his efforts would have been made futile even before they started had he continued to live in an establishment that was being picketed by the striking employees. By moving out of the hotel, Mr. Frost may have been "neutral" on the side of the strikers. By the same token, had he stayed in the hotel, he would have indisputably been "neutral" on the side of the hotel management. But if he wished to help bring the disputants together, then his only course was to do what he did. What Mr. Frost was say- ing, in effect, was this: "I do not want to become involved in this dispute, except as a peace-maker, and to do that I must remove myself from the scene of the dispute." That, to us, makes better sense than the savage and highly partial attack made on the ex-premier in Toronto, In any case, the talk about absolute neutrality in such a situation is absurd. We do not doubt, for example, that many City of Toronto officials have had their judgment colored to some degree by the paltry amount of revenue obtain- ed from the Royal York by the munici- pality--the hotel's escape as a railway hostel from the regular assessment paid by the other hotels in Toronto. It would be only natural for them to be so in- fluenced, and perhaps to wonder why it should be this hotel, enjoying such a favorable tax position, that was in- volved in such a bitter dispute over wages. Retirement Problems Increasing attention is being given the personal problems involved in retire- ment. Corporation and government poli- cies, pension plans and so on are forcing more people into retirement at age 65 or younger, often when these people are still vigorous mentally and physically, and often ill prepared for the enforced idleness thrust upon them, A "retirement village" in Florida has built its own "college", where village | residents can pursue certain courses of | study, ranging from shelicraft to sociol- ogy. Many firms in the United States are now teaching their employees "how | to retire". In some cases the companies \ run schools for those about to retire, and at one spot the guidance starts 15 years before retirement. England's Manchester University has just started a courge specially designed for people who have retired from active work or are about to retire, It is the first course of its kind to be organized in the United Kingdom, and is being tried as an experiment.

Circulation for the issue of October 31, 1961 17,783 There are 24 pupils, all around the age of 60, on the course, which lasts for six days. their first lesson, consisting of a lecture on the medical aspects of growing old and the changes that might be expected, was given by a geriatrician. The aims/of the course are: To give people informatiog on the adjustments which have to be made in the lives of people approaching retirement; to show the energetic type of person that he or she still has a lot to give to the com- munity in the way of voluntary service; to show how to spend leisure time profit- ably and with enjoyment. The danger, of course, lies in the assumption by the state that all older people lack resourcefulness, and by the individual that the state will keep him from being bored once he has quit regular work. If the responsibilities of the individual and the state are under- stood, then the "organization of retire- ment" can only be a healthy develop- ment. Other Editors' Views NOT A BAD SIGN (Brantford Expositor) The Ontario Liberal Wintermeyer, says he thinks the Pro- leader, Mr. gressive Conservative leadership con- vention revealed setious differences of opinion within the pytty ranks. If there were no differences of opinion, the PC or any other politi outfit would be in an unforttnate dition of either apathy or regimentation.

Alas REPORT FROM U.K. London Festival Plans Outlined By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The city of .Lon- don is planning to enter into the music and drama festival field on a large scale, emulat- ing Edinburgh and other Brit- ish centres where these annual festivals have become major cultural events. An Arts Festi- val Council, in the form of a limited liability company con- stituted on a non-profit-making basis, is to take over the or- ganization and operation of the London Festival, which is to be founded in 1962 and last for two weeks from July 9. Under the 1960 legislation, this com- pany could register as a char- ity. It will carry the name of the City Arts Trust, Limited. QUEEN'S PARK New Regime Calls For Adjustments By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--It's going to take a bit of time to adjust here. One day you are accustomed to being pretty casual with a man, "Hey John', you yell at. him across the floor. And then all of a sudden you really should be calling him "sir" and generajly acting as if he has become omnipotent over- night. It isn't he, of course, it's the system. For good reasons we pay certain respects and digni- ties to our highest offices, and the incumbents who happen to be in them * Buty 'Hey Mabel'? -- it isn't easy. One thing Premier Frost had was a firm hand. He had the respect of all his colleagues, even the oldest. And with some of them it amounted to fear. If he was on the phone, his ministers jumped. (Behind that mild "image" he carried quite a bark when things weren't going the way he wanted thent.) The grapevine says that things aren't as they used to be. Not yet, at least. Mr. Robarts, of course, was junior to most of His present cabinet ministers. And they are finding it a bit hard to fully appreciate that he is the boss. MR. BIG Up in our ivory towers we newspaper men probably don't find quite the same difficulty as they do. You are used to being friendly chummy on occasion, with a man in your own age group. You have had the odd drink, you have asked him what he thinks about things and he has asked you. Then--whoops--he is Mr. Big. It isn't too easy to give Kim-- or at least his office--the new respect you feel is proper. But still we don't have that much contact. However, Mr. Robarts will probably gain this respect quickly, and quietly. He has a reserve and a quiet dignity which tends to discour- age familiarity unless he is in the mood to invite it. And similarly with advice and counsel. He is not a man with an open mind for every Tom, Dick. and Harry that wants to run the gov- ernment. He gives the feeling that when he wants advice *he will know it, and what he wants, and will ask for it. INSIDE YOU Nosebleeds May Signal Trouble By BURTON H. FERN, MD* WHAT CAUSES nosebleeds? What's the best treatment? On the wall between the nos- trils, near the tip of the nose, tiny, bulguff blood vessels often break and bleed. The slightest injury can start rivers of blood. Pebbles, pes and paper sutff- ed into nostrils by little toddlers lie behind many gushers. Hard blowing and inflamma- tion often explain bloody colds. Bloated with high blood pres- sure or weakened by rheumatic fever vessles burst and noses bleed without warning. When blood doesn't clot properly, even nosebleeds threaten life. Occasionally, a teen-age nose follows the menstrual pattern and bleeds with each monthly flow. HALTING THE NOSEBLEED To stop running water, you either press on the spigot or stop all flow by turning off the faucet You stop nosebleeds the same way Sit down and bend forward until your head is upsidedown between your knees. Now, it's am uphill journey from the bridge of your nose to the bleeding vessel. And blood pool- ing in the nostril works like a natural pressure pack. Loosen clothing around the neck A tight collar squeezes neck veins, building pressure that can change the slowest ooze into a crimson gusher. Pressure on the side of the nose and under the nostril helps So do ice packs and cold compresses around the neck and bridge cf the nose. Cooled arteries narrow, slowing ordi- nary flow to a trickle. OLD HOME REMEDY If your doctor permits, a twist of cotion moistened with Neosynephrine (R) nose drops can shrink both bessels and bleeding. Bacon rind left in place for a few hours is an old home remedy that still works. When bleeding persists, call your doctor He may have to sear the broken vessel to halt hemorrhage Recognize red for Repeated nosebleeds the first signal of trouble, danger! may be serious As part of the program plan- ned for the London Festival, the city will have pleasure gar- dens along the lines of the celebrated Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Visitors will pay an entrance fee to the gardens, and will sit at tables having a drink or a light meal while being entertained by variety artists. A site for these pleas- ure gardens, in congenial sur- roundings, is now being sought. TO BE ANNUAL EVENT Plans for the Festival of London, which it is proposed should run for two weeks in July of each year, have been announced from the Guildhall. The idea of a London festival originated with Ian Hunter, managing director of Harold Holt, Limited, who from 1955 to 1959 was the artfstic direc- for the Edinburgh Festival of Music and Drama. He has al- ready outlined a program for the first Festival, to be held in 1962. It is an ambitious list of concerts, plays and recitals. It includes: A nightly . performance "The Yeoman of the Guard" the Tower of London. The first performance of Offenbach's "Dick Whitting- ton", a concert of the Cries of London and an all-Bartok eve- ning. A -performance of Handel's "Water and Royal Fireworks" music with fireworks and mili- tary bands from a barge off Tower Pier. The staging of 'Twelfth Night" in one of the city halls, in honor of the historical fact that Shakespeare's own com- pany first performed the play in the Inner Temple Hall on February 2, 1602. Many of the Festival events will take place in the city's churches and livery halls. Ian Hunter is likely to be appoint- ed as the artistic director to launch the project in its first year. of at OTTAWA REPORT " Ttalian Praises Migrant Method By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--A great tribute: to Canada has just been paid by a very distinguished compatriot of the people who show the great- est desire to become Canadians. "Canada's handling of immi- gration from Italy has been out- standingly intelligent and ex- ceedingly humane," Mr. Ivan Matteo Lombardo told me. "You have been clever in se- lecting immigrants, and kind in the preference shown for close relatives of earlier immigrants so that family groups can be reunited. The result is that Ital- ians who migrate to Canada generally seem to settle into their new homeland with suit- able work and a happy family life." Mr. Lombardo was Minister for Foreign Trade in the former Social Democrat government of Italy. Today he is president of the Italian Chamber of Com- merce for the Americas, and president of the Italian National Productivity Council. TITALIANS CHOOSE US In the first nine months of this year, as in the three past full years, more immigrants came to Canada than from any other country. This is not because the number of Italian immigrants is soaring; in fact it is now about BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Provincial Mothers' Al- lowance Commission .reappoint- ed Mrs. Conant Myers, chairman, and Miss Dorothy Farncombe, secretary, of the Oshawa Mothers' Allowance Committee for another term of office. Other board members were Rev. Father Bench, Mrs. Frank Robson and H. M. Gil- christ. Winnie Griffin, 13 - year - old pupi: of Albert Street Public School, won the first prize in the essay contest sponsored by the city and the Fire Depart- ment The challenge shield was presented to the school princi- pal, Miss T. A, Patten,» her teacher, by Mayor Ernie Marks. Lt.-Col. W H_ Scarth, secre- tary of the Ontario Provincial Command, Canadian Legion, was guest speaker at the Annual Armistice Banquet of the Osh- awa Branch Contracts fer the construction of a new filtration plant at the Oshawa waterworks at a cost of $126,870 were let by the Osh- awa Public Utilities Com~ mission. f At a meeting of the Oshawa Citizens' Band A. H. White was elected president and F. Britten, vice-president. F. VonGunten was Assistant Bandmaster. Oshawa's . welfare -campaign with Ross Mackinnon as chair- man, was opened, with an objec- tive of $30,000 The Oshawa Boy Scouts who planned to reopen a toy shop in the basement of the Fire Hall appealed to the citizens for old toys. Norman McLeod, who had been teaching at the OCVI for for or five years, sent a letter telling of his experiences in Scotland where he was teach- ing in Glasgow Academy as an exchange teacher. He spoke of the fine reception he received there and alsu of the political situation in the British Isles at the time. and mail to: Mr. NAME Mrs...

But the number of immigrants from Britain, who predominated previously, has fallen even more sharply. Almost half of the Italians who seek to migrate to Canada are close relatives of Italians who. have already settled here. An immigrant successfully. es- tablished here may "sponsor" a spouse, his or her children, brothers and sisters and their dependent children, parents, in- tended spouse, and other such close relatives. Priority is given to such "sponsored" applicants, who are then processed by our immigration staff so quickly that some can even come to Canada within two months of their application. But this great demand by sponsored immigrants over- crowded the facilities of our im- migration machinery, so a long waiting list of would-be immi-) grants was built up in Italy This totalled over 77,000 six years ago; it rose to 152,621 two years later, but has been stead- ily reduced over the past four years Most of these were un- sponsored. Mr.' Lombardo specifically praised our policy of actively discouraging unsponsored appli- cants if job vacancies do not currently exist in Canada in their normal line of employ- ment. Lacking relatives here to support them, they would soon became destitute and miserable if unable to find suitable jobs ere, Hon. Ellen Fairclough, our minister of citizenship and im- migration, believes that one of the largest Italian groups in Canada lives in her own con- stituency ef Hamilton West. She grew up -mong them, she says, 'and for years she has counted many of them among her friends. "IT am sure that anyone who has had the privilegé of asso- ciating with people of Italian oxigin knows what a warm hearted and loyal people they are," she op "They have in- tegrated well into our country, and I have a great admiration for them." These loyal Canadians do not include those lawless elements . of Italian origin now infiltrat- ing into some of our communi- ties. Those could not enter through the fine mesh of charac- ter investigation of our immi- gration machinery: police offi- cials believe them to be former residents of the U.S., who as such can cross that border freely. One of our most respected MPs today is. an Italian-born New Canadian, H. Badanai, Lib- eral MP for Fort William. A native-born Canadian of Italian parentage, Quinto Martini, Con- servative MP for Hamilton East has just been appointed parlia- mentary secretary to Transport Minister Leon Balcer, thus reaching the highest position in federal politics yet attained by an Italian-Canadian. This picture of Italians becom- ing good Canadian citizens has been lavishly praised by Mr. Lombardo, a former Italian cab- inet minister, who gives credit to our immigration policies. In contrast, a former Liberal im- migration minister in Ottawa has termed those same policies "stupid, cruel, silly and inhu- man" MILO MENTHOL "'GARETTEs
