She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Fateful Test Decision Rests With Mr. Kennedy James Wadsworth was President Eisenhower's ambassador to the United Nations and for two years before that was chief United States negotiator at the Geneva conference seeking a treaty outlaw the tests. Wadsworth opposes American resumption of nuclear testing in the atmosphere. Writing in the Satur- day Review, he says that, "according to President Kennedy himself, we have a more than adequate stock of nuclear weapons." He adds: "Why then must we resume testing? Merely because the Soviets have re- sumed testing? Do we really know that they have surpassed us in technology, and if they have, does this simply mean that they can kill a few more people than we can with a single bomb? ... We have said over and over again, and we meant it, that we don't want to re- sume testing; that what we want to do is to stop testing under effective inter- national inspection and controls. If this is our real goal, is it best served by hysterically matching Soviet callous- ness?" These are questions that, in less pre- cise form, many people beside the Americans have been asking. And they are questions which President Kennedy answered in part in his statement two weeks ago? The U.S. president announced then that, "as a matter of prudence," the United States was preparing to resume tests in the atmosphere. But he added a series of qualifications. Testing, he said, will be ordered only if an evaluation shows that the more than 30 Soviet explosions have made the action necessary in order to main- tain "our relative position." No tests will be carried out for political or propa- ganda purposes -- to spread terror or to show the Soviets the U.S. can make as big a bang as they can. He em- phasized that the U.S. will maintain its determination to achieve "a world free from fear of nuclear tests and nuclear war," and will continue to be ready to sign a nuclear test treaty providing for adequate inspection and control. The ultimate decision on testing will have to be made by the president, and nobody else. It is a president's executive responsibility to make such decisions. Only the president has access to all the facts upon which the decision must be based. We do not envy him the respon- sibility. It will be a fateful decision, for the world in general and the West in particular. North's Value Queried That Canada's north is "99 per cent useless" was one unexpected opinion heard by the 700 federal and provincial delegates to the massive Resources for Tomorrow conference. This unorthodoxy --expressed by Professor K. Kenneth Hare, chairman of the geography and meteorology department at McGill Uni- versity -- will no doubt be fiercely contested by all northerners. They are likely to hold that the bigness and cold- ness that Professor Hare listed as the two main problems of our environment are not insurmountable. And, in truth, the time-distance equation is a variable, \ and almost anywhere in the country the unwary can and do perish in the harsh Canadian winter. But with Professor Hare's central theme there will be no quarrel: it is not natural resources of themselves but people that account for any country's welth. "Very rapid economic growth," he pointed out, "is characteristic of most of the European Common Market countries, which have a far poorer economic base than does Canada." Those countries are forging ahead because they concentrate on "the ultimate resource--human skill." The conference heard another opinion that our great natural resources do not automatically guarantee Canadian pros- perity "Primary producers," said M. W. Mackenzie president of Chemcell Limi- ted, "are not really talking in their own long-term interests when they strike the attitude that every tariff helps industry only at the expense of the farmer, the forester and the aluminum smelter. Modern technology has increased the interdependence of economic activities in a way that ought to make it far easier for primary and secondary producers to see their common interests. "We need a trade and tariff policy through which we give our full share of encouragement to world trade while ensuring that, in the face of protec- tionism elsewhere, our own industrial growth is vigorous and reasonably diver- sified." Canada , it is true, owns very large supplies of many basic raw materials. But on the world markets these materials are not in short supply. Conserve our renewable resources as carefully as we may and exploit them as efficiently as we may, they still will not assure Can- ada's future prosperity. The resource industries must be backed by expanding secondary industry if we are to provide job opportunities for the growing work force. Water And 'Hot Waste Man cannot live without fresh water --nor can be live with radioactive waste. in the United States alone this waste -- nearly 70 million gallons of it -- is now stored in closely guarded under- ground tanks. Scientists have come up with what sounds like the perfect solu- tion. They will use the radioactive waste to produce the heat necessary to convert salt water into fresh water, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dr. W. S. Gillam, research director for the U.S. Office of Salina Water has --_.-- -------- She Oshavwn Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Genero! Monoger Cc. GWYN KINSEY.

Alax, Prince Bay, Enniskillen, Circulation for the issue of October 31, 1961 17,783 announced that early next year a small, experimental conversion plant will be built at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., National Laboratory. This plant, which will pro- duce 250 gallons of fresh water daily, is expected eventually to lead to cons- truction of a plant capable of producing a million gallons of fresh water a day. By 1965, he said, such a plant could provide a use for all the radioactive waste from the U.S. Atomic Energy Com- mission's plutonium-producing reactors, and for industrial nuclear wastes as well. In addition to putting to use the deadly wastes which must now be trans- ferred from tank to tank because no one is sure how long the tanks will last, the plan would save money in producing fresh water, which could be made avail- able at a cost of 70 to 85 cents per 1,000 gallons, less than the cost of con- version at the U:S. government's new plant at Freeport, Tex. : : Details, naturally, remain 'to be irone: out, but it appears possible that science which gave us the problem of what to do with the dangerous waste in the first place may give us the brilliant answer. Other Editors' Views TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED (The Economist) Eeverybody ought to know by now what the two real long-term ailments in Britain's internal economy are, and what is the physic needed to remove them. The first reason for our long-term weakness is that Britain has constantly restricted success, and as constantly sub- sidized failure. Zh, REPORT FROM U.K. Different Concept Of Mine-Laying By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In the two world wars, of 1914-1918 and 1939- 1945, fleets of mine - laying vessels fromed an important part of the naval protection of the shores and harbors of the United Kingdom. Nothing like the same k:nd of operation has any place in the plans of the British admiralty for any future war. Should mine-laying be necessary, it will all be done by submarines, fast patrol boats or aircraft In the tynes of warfare for which plans now have to be made, the experts of the ad- miralty believe there would be no definite place for the large surface minelayer. Large-scale mine - laying with moored contact or magnetic mines would imply a lengthy war of blockade and counter-blockade, quite out of keeping with a nuclear age. For this reason the Royal Navy has not built one minelaying vessel since the last war ended. This decision does not in any way detract from the very valuable service which was ren- dered by the minelayers in the second world war. Some of them had outstanding records, like the last majur operational mine- layer, the HMS Apollo. Former flagship of the Home Fleet, it went into reserve early this year. Other former minelayers are destined for the scrap-heap. For some time, the anti-submarine frigate Paladin was used as a minelayer based on Chatham, She, too, is 'now in reserve, Another minelayer, the Chaplet, stationed at Devonport, has also just left the active fleet. She will join the Apollo and the Paladin on their last voyage which will take them to the naval scrap yards. OTHERS IN MOTHBALLS Oniy three minelayers are now left "in mothballs" but still serving some other useful pur- pose. One of these, the Orwell, is being retained largely be- cause she is a fast anti- submarine frigate as well as a mine-layer. Also at Devonport is the Apollo's sister ship, the INSIDE YOU Good Resolutions For Cold Months By BURTON H. FERN, MD 7 PROMISE to: 1. Have furnece, stove, fire- place and kerosene oil heaters all safety-checked. Faulty flues and flooded furnaces sometimes spread flaming fuel and deadly carbon monoxide. Kerosene heaters have burned many homes to charred tim- bers. A simple attachment can keep suction - feed heaters from exploding when warmed air builds up pressure inside the fuel bottle. 2. Use a vaporizer and pans of water on radiators and near heating vents to moisten air When hot air dries delicate nose lining, colds start and noses water. 3. Rest extra hours when down with a cold. Aspirin, nose drops, juices and fluids only re- lieve symptoms; they don't cure. CALL DOCTOR 4, Call the doctor sore throat or earache. Strep (streptococcus - infected) throats may trigger rheumatic fever, nephritis and other com- plications. With painless, smold- ering ear infections, hearing often goes up in smoke! 5. Let the doctor for any decide whether upchucking and tummy aches are intestinal flu or .ap- pendicitis in disguise. 6. Offer intestinal tims small sips and cracked ice only after all upchucking stops. Otherwise, upchucking in- creases. Begin with clear broth, juices and pop. 7. Shovel snow only if heart's in top form. Freezing temperatures clamp shut mul- lions of tiny skin vessels. Blood is jammed into fewer vessels, blood pressure rises and the heart has to strain. OTHER HAZARDS Bucking wintry winds takes the strength of a_ line-bucking football player. And 30 pounds of winter clothing weigh heavi- ly on any shoulders. 8. Drive with at ieast one win- dow partly open in case deadly carbon monoxide oozes in from the motor exhaust. After breathing a smidgeon -- too small to kill -- no driver can st er a straight .ine. Christmas- spirited, cocktailed and egg-nog- ged drivers multiply wintry road hazards. Keep your eyes and windows open! flue vic- my BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO For many years a landmark in downtown Oshawa, the tower- ing elm tree opposite Hotel Gen- osha on King street east was being removed by the city. The century-old tree was planted by the late Jesse Luke, one of the Luke Brothers who operated a furniture and undertaking busi- ness at that location. The local curlers got off to a good start with Dr. John Brock throwing the first stone to offi- cially open the 1946-47 season. Rev. J. C. Beckel, president of the Bay of Quinte Conference, dedicated a series of memorial furnishings for the newly reno- vated sanctuary of Albert Street United Church, in whose found- ing he had a part. a Future plans for expansion of the Royal Bank premises at Simcoe and Bond streets in- cluded the adjoining building oc- cupied by the T. Eaton Co. order office. The Eaton building for- merly owned and for a number of years was occupied by the Central Canada Loan and Sav- ings Co. Douglas M. Storie, plant man- ager, Fittings Ltd., was appoint- ed to the 1946-47 malleable divi- sion executive committee of the American Foundrymen's Asso- ciation. Norman C. Millman returned to Oshawa after six years' ab- sence on war service work as director of vehicle development for the Department of National Defence. Ariadne. She has been in re- serve continuously since 1946. The third minelayer is the Obedient, now 19 years old. One of the most famous of the wartime mine-layers, HMS Manxman, is now at Chatham, being converted at a cost of close to $3,000,000 for service in 1963 as a minesweeper support ship in the Far East. After conversion, she will be able to carry only a small number of mines for training purposes. During the second world war, the Manxman won fame for its activities in iaying mines right under the noses of the Germans along the Vichy .French coast. And of al' the fleet which was once in operation, only. one minesweeper now remains operational. She is the 805-ton Plover, continuously in com- missicn since 1936. QUEEN'S PARK Cass Could Give Department Jolt By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Look for some new zip in the Department of Municipal Affairs. Prime Minister Robarts may have come up with a stroke of genius when he moved Hon. Fred Cass inte the department. For while Mr. Cass has his faults, he also, as he has shown in highways, is a very able man And he, including the "faults," may be just what the doctor ordered for this complex and perplexed branch of govern- ment just now. PLAIN TALKER Mr Cass' strongest quality-- and you can call it a fault, if you look af it that way--is that he speaks his mind. He is the opposite of the featherbed politician who thinks the only way to say no is to start by saying yes. He always says what he thinks, and his thinking is in- clined to be. positive. To some of his colleagues, of course, this is horrifying. But to those of us on the outside it can . be refreshing. And you can see where some of this plain thinking and plain talk can make a world of dif- ference in the province's deal- ing with the municipalities. SOFT SELL We have had here for 12 years what might be called "soft sell' government. The first rule has been not to offend. Keep everybody happy. This has been good politics. And it has vot entirely ruled out firmness when this was called for The government, for instance, took a firm stand on farm mar- keting. And this was not an iso- lated instance. But other spheres of govern- ment suffered from it. And none more than municipal affairs. SIMPLE TRUTHS The simple fact is that for a decade now the municipalities in the province and their offi- cials have been mollycoddled. And everybody has been the loser, they as much as anyone. There has not been a really firm word said to municipal rep- resertatives for years. It has never really been made clear to them that when they come here for money, it is tax money they are being given. It has never forcibly been pointed out yg them that local taxation has actually not had much of a real rise at all, and practically nothing compared to other tax areas. Year after year their repre sentatives have come in here and have taiked what amounted to cloudy nonsense. And nobody has been willing to risk setting them straight. Mr Cass will, we can be sure of that. And you will probably see that onve he starts straight talking some of our own cloudy thinking here will begin to dis- appear. NEW ARRANGEMENT HALIFAX (CP) -- Gottingen Street merchants have opened a customer parking lo. which they think is unique. It is believed the first to be financially as- sisted by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation as part of the federal redevelopment as- sistance program.
