She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Donald Jackson Reveals What Makes A Champion Oshawa's Donald Jackson has earn- ed much more than a civic welcome from his native city. He deserves the gratitude of every Canadian because his winning of the world's ice-skating championship for men came just in time to counter the dismal demons- tration staged by the Galt Terriers in the so-called world hockey tournament in the United States. It was not so much the fact that Donald Jackson won, or the Terriers lost; it was the way they did it. Jack- son came from behind with. tremen- dous skating display that had even the hardened critics gasping his praises. He won with courage, grace and fantastic talent, and he wore his laurels with becoming modesty. The Galt team lost with a churlish lack of hustle to a Swedish team that played cleaner, faster and brainier hockey; the losing was not important, particularly since the Russians and the Czechs, who might well have been able to defeat Sweden, were not at the tournament and the title therefore is an empty one; what hurt Canada at Colorado Springs was the stupid, stumbling manner of losing. The hockey game left a bad taste. Donald Jackson came along and removed it, by displaying all the best qualities of a champion. No matter how much native talent one may possess, one does not become a champion without courage, dedica- tion and hard work. The great ones in sport -- or in any other activity -- all have these qualities. Figure skating makes particularly strenuous discip- linary demands because of the exact- ing standards demanded of the skater, the precise and strenuous tests which must be passed. Long hours of daily practice and summed up in a few minutes of competition, when the skater is alone in the midst of nerve- cracking tension. Donald Jackson has met all the demands in superb fashion. His reward is not simply the world's championship; it is the thanks and admiration of his country as well as his city. Premier Disenchanted Manitoba's Premier Roblin, who last year built a fallout shelter in his Winnipeg home, has said publicly that he can no longer recommended the building of shelters to others. The Montreal Star suggests that Mr. Roblin has probably been reading some of the studies on the problem -- studies which, in objectivity, surpass the kind of press releases issued by the governments of Canada and the United States. These studies, of which a large number are now available, often take for their starting point the fallacy involved in official declarations that, in the event of nuclear attack, it will only be necessary to spend two weeks in a shelter. This two-week period has never taken into account the possi- bility that an attack might be spread over a period of several weeks. The fortnight estimate is based on the obviously unsafe assumption that a nuclear attack involves the dropping of one bomb only. Dr. Maurice Visscher, head of the University of Minnesota's depart- ment of physiology remarks that, after a "real nuclear war" it would be necessary to stay in a shelter for a year if the lethal effects of fall- out are to be avoided. Commenting on Dr. Visscher's statement. The Progressive points out: "In any case, the publicized safe emergence from a shelter after a brief stay is highly misleading: it is as- sumed that you will have a home to return to, that you will not have to stay outdoors for many hours each day, that the problem of decontamina- tion has been solved, that you will be able to get medical care if you are sick, that edible food and potable water will be available, and that in- numerable other factors all operate in the direction of safety and survival. If one puts only two of the hazards of nuclear attack together -- the danger from fallout and from des- troyed or contaminated dwellings -- the total hazard looms not twice but many times larger." Farmers Prove Stubborn Agriculture was again the chief topic of the secret emergency session of the central committee of the Com- munist Party held in Moscow a couple of weeks ago. The truth of the matter is some- thing Communist leaders won't ack- nowledge -- won't even dare to con- sider. Marxism doesn't fit the farmer. Nine years ago Premier Malenkov was forced to admit that after 25 years of collectivization -- which cost the lives of at least five million farm- ers--the Russian peasant was worse off than he had been under the last Tsar. In 1916, after the war had been going nearly three years, Russia had 28.8 million cows. Thirty-seven years later, though Russia had annexed nearly 800,000 square miles of new territory, there were 4.5 million fewer cows, the Vancouver Sun points out, And last month, after Mr. Khrush- chev had been striving for 10 years She Oshawa Simes T.

While Soviet planners demand a 9.6 per cent annual increase in the cur- rent decade, last year's harvest and meat production fell below those of 1958. Marx, a city-bred bourgeois, knew little about peasants and farming. But he saw the peasant as a probable stub- born defender of the old order and said that large-scale, state-directed agriculture would have to destroy him. Lenin knew this, too. The peasant, he said, if left alone would gravitate to free trade and old-fashioned capi- talism. He took his cue from Engels, Marx's collaborator, who foresaw that the peasants could only be won to socialism by false promises that the land would be his. Eventually he must be made into a landless worker. Lenin was faced by famine and rebellion in 1921 and solved his prob- lem by giving the peasants their head. Livestock of all kinds increased from 58,400,000 in 1916 to 66,800,000 in 1928. Encouraged by this, Stalin forced collectivizaton on the peasants and transferred millions of them to industry. The results are still being felt today. Mr. Khrushchew tried to solve the problem anew by opening up millions of acres of virgin lands, and by offer- ing the peasant incentives such as larger private allotments, higher prices and bonuses for higher produc- tion, Today the Comminist chief are faced with a choice of offering the farmer more personal incentives or destroying those he has, and, like Stalin in 1928, forcing collectivization at an even harsher pace. ~ --~-. - etece eee Ge ee qwe. OUR PEACEFUL WARHEAD YOUR HEALTH Place Of Exercise For Heart Patien By JOSEPH G. MOLNER Dear Dr. Molner: I had a coronary thrombosis in 1957. About a year ago I developed angina pectoris. Previous to the angina, I would walk about 2% miles a day. I have had two opinions from cardiologists as to my walking. One says to take a nitroglycer- ine and discontinue walking. What is your opinion?--C. J. I can't quarrel with either doctor. But let me add a thought or two that may be helpful in resolving the ques- tion. Angina pectoris (heart pain) attacks can and do occur in ap- parently healthy hearts. More often some underlying factor is found, but not always. It can be coronary heart disease, a de- fect in a valve, certain types of anemia, excessive cholesterol in the blood (a controversial point), hyperthyroidism. I naturally decline to guess about your case; observation by you and your doctors may pre- sently make the cause clear. It may or may not be associated with your trouble in 1957, It's REPORT FROM U.K. Museum To Honor Aviation Pioneer By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A Cody museum {s to be established in Ash Vale, near Farnborough, Hampshire, in honor of Samuel Franklin Cody, the aviation pioneer who, in 1908, made the first aeroplane flight in Britain. The moving spirit behind this project is his grandson, Leslie Cody, who is head of the fabrics section of the Royal Aircraft. establish- ment at Farnborough. Leslie Cody 'has recently dis- covered a veritable treasure trove of early Cody and aero- nautical history. He found it in a loft of the old Cody home, Vale Croft, a 10-roomed house in Ash Vale, a few miles from the aircraft establishment at Farnborough. The loft is situated over a garage large enough to accom- modate five cars. In it he found eight large theatre skips packed with posters, photographs, docu- ments, aeroplane designs and sketches. They cover Samuel F, Cody's life as actor, inventor, engineer and aircraft pilot. NUMEROUS TROPHIES Leslie Cody has also assembled a fine collection of big man-lifting kites, engines, propellers and equipment, in- cluding a dinghy in which his grandfather was towed by a kite between Dover and Calais. the collection are also his grand- father's numerous trophies. Samuel Franklin Cody was born in Fort Worth, Texas, 101 years ago. He was a brilliant rifle and pistol shot and a crack horseman. He came to Britain as an actor, and was helped on the stage by his wife and his son Vivian, who at the age of eight was claimed to be a champion pistol shot. Cody went into the business of making and selling man-lift- ing kites to the Navy. He then helped to design and fly air- ships, and finally built his own aeroplane. he was popularly known as 'Colonel', a rank which he never claimed, and which used to embarrass him considerably until it was used in addressing him by that stick- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "What would you do if fol- lowing an atomic war you were the only man left alive on earth?" asks a psychologist. Ve'd immediately begin a strenuous and extensive search fo see if any women were left alive. In V ler for military etiquette, King George V. A natural engineer- ing genius, he invented a Tom- my gun, which he had made in Germany at the time of the Boer War. He offered it to the British government but it was rejected. FIRST FLIGHT He created a sensation in Brit- ain when he made the first aero- plane flight in this country, in 1908. The first flight carried him a distance of just under 500 yards, at heights between 50 and 60 feet. The machine, how- ever, crashed after being turn- ed to avoid a row of trees. He won prizes worth over $25,000 in military trials. His machine, the "Cody Flyer' was offered for sale, It was advertised as hav- ing a speed of between 45 and 50 miles an hour. There are those living who still remember Samuel Cody, with his goatee beard, long hair and white horse. He was killed in an air crash in 1913, a year after he took British nationality. worth suspecting that it is, of course. That's just good sense. Now with heart patients as well as others it's a mistake, except in acute illnesses, to pro- hibit exercise. Limiting the ex- ercise to a useful amount is an- other matter. And walking in my opinion is the best exercise: If a clear pattern develops of the pain being incited by too much exertion, this can be a warning that the heart is being forced to work harder than it should, Therefore it's time for the ni- troglycerine pill and some rest. It is a blessing that the pill acts so rapidly A good many people with an- gina begin to .gauge things rather accurately, knowing that a given amount of exertion brings on the pain. Some pa- tients learn to take a pill before- hand, say before walking from the parking lot and upstairs to the office, thus preventing the pain. It's good practice. The speed with which the pa- tient does things is important. Moving a little slower reduces the strain on the heart and can help allay or prevent an attack. And it helps to take exercise in smaller doses. Instead of walking 2-4 miles, why not two walks of a mile and a quarter, or four walks of half a mile or so? Let the heart rest and catch up between times. It will be better for the heart and will avoid a good deal of discomfort. Dear Dr. Molner: I have been told that the brain does not grow, but develops. . .Mrs. B.R This is not correct. The brain grows from infancy to approxi- mately puberty, increasing in weight about fourfold in that time. Thereafter the brain, like any other part of the body, replaces itself by creating new cells at the same rate that old ones are lost. In case of severe injury, re- sulting in atrophy of some part, the brain can actually decrease in size. Where convulsions re- sult, use of, anti - convulsant drugs often is a successful rem- edy. NOTE TO W. L. C.: The case you cite is NOT one of "doctors disagreeing."' The first one you named it NOT a physician. And cod liver'oil does not have any effect on "lubricating the joints," with or without arthri- tis. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS Sgt.-Major M. J. R.

Dear Sir: Your opinion as stated in a recent editorial that nuclear weapons are preventing war is a feeble defence of the war- mongers. Weapons of war are created only to kill and de- stroy, and the testing of these weapons is a threat to the whole human race, because of the pollution of the air by radio- active particles, Your argument that the Unit- ed States must undertake nu- clear tests to keep pace with the Russians is contradictory. The Americans had the bomb before the Russians and have conducted more tests than the Russians. It is a case of the Russians trying to catch up with the Americans and not the other way around. Also, we cannot credit the Americans with being peace- loving and the Russians with war-seeking. There is a very prominent American politician, Senator Barry Goldwater, who is going around saying that the U.S. should invade Cuba, knock down the Berlin wall and give immediate armed help to any rebels in countries with Com- munist governments. FAIR PLAY Oshawa CITY MANAGER Dear Sir: I wish to address the follow- ¥ ing open letter to Mr. Jack Gearin: I read your column of Satur- day, March 17, with reference to my feelings in regard to a city manager for Oshawa and I don't mind in the: least being criticized, in fact I like it as honest criticism sharpens a per- son's mind and makes him think, so in this vein I can ap- preciate your article, but parts of it ridicule me or at least border on being ridiculous and for my part it does not enhance your column. I usually enjoy your columns for their subject matter and they are generally well written and knowing you I don't think you have to stoop to ridicule to make your articles either interesting or eye catch- ing, it only takes dealing with facts on topical subjects. How- ever it is your business how you write your articles but it is the right of the public to ab- sorb, criticize and decide an article's worthiness. You state in your article that we should gather the facts about a city manager before we con- demn the idea and I am listing here a few questions for you to answer in relation to your cru- sade for a city manager and I am sure you will agree that they have not been developed flippantly or without serious thought and I feel with your knowledge of the subject I can expect a factual and early an- swer to aid my opinion on the subject. 1, Why do we need a city manager? If your answer is simply because other municipal- ities have one, I would prefer some concrete examples of their usefulness in all phases of municipal government, 2. Is there definite proof of the squandering of money and inefficiency in city hall depart- ments (outside of the swimming pool example, for which there has been no proof of blame, only your judgment of this prob- lem)? 3. If we had a city manager and it was proven he was not needed at a later date or he failed to do his job in the opin- ion of the electorate, how and by whom would he be dismissed? 4. If the city hired a city manager, where: would he he housed? How big an office would he need? Will he have secretarial help? Will he need an assistant and how much will this department cost the tax- payers? 5. Who will a city manager take orders from and to whom will he be responsible? 6. If the answer to question 5 is city council, whom you claim are unable to do the job, will they not be equally unable under the city manager form of government to cope with these problems the same as it is suggested they cannot cope with them now? How is a city man- ager going to change this set ? 7. Would not the hiring of a city manager tend to establish a bureaucracy by having a new department to act as a middle- man in all city functions? 8. When the city council pass- es orders of business in a gen- eral sense, which is often done, would this not give a city man- ager wide powers of decision relating to detail? If his deci- sions were opposed by the elec- torate, how would they deal with this when the city man- ager was not responsible to the electorate and yet conform to the order in general? 9. How can we afford a city manager when city council has been unable to find the money to pay a full time mayqr? 10. Don't you think F oid be unfair to have a city man- ager paid a high salary, while our mayor continues to be paid on the basis of part time work, whether working full time or not. I am referring to the mayor's salary of $3,000 per only and not the expenses re- ceived. You also state in your article, you don't know why we talk of this subject when it is up to the survey to determine and it is like putting the cart before the horse. In answer to these points, you are the one who has continued to harp on this ques- tion in your column for well over a year and as for the survey the terms of reference are silent on this subject, mean- ing possibilities, and according to another adage, there is no use locking the barn after the horse is stolen. We believe it OTTAWA REPORT Rid Scheme Urged For The Americas By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA Two interest- ingly significant visitors to this capital on a recent day were a druggist from Minneapolis and a dentist's wife from South America. Both brought an important message to our government; both said the same thing, but in very different. ways. This is not surprising, for one was a former Democratic candidate for the presidency of the largest and richest country in the New World, while the other was a former cabinet minister of per- haps the smallest and poorest country on this same continent. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey is the druggist; but he 'now fills prescriptions for U.S.A's health, as assistant Democratic) leader in the powerful U.S. Senate. Janet Jagan, who once spent four months as "guest" of Queen Elizabeth--in jail--was formerly minister of labor, health and housing in the Brit- ish Guiana cabinet of her hus- band, Dr. Cheddi Jagan. Senator Humphrey came here to urge, eloquently and per- suasively, that we-spent on a peace-promoting alliance which he calls NORDIC (North Amer- ican Disease Intelligence Com- mand) no less than we now spend on the military NORAD (North American Air Defence). In the next five years, U.S.A. will spend a $100,000,000,000 to put three men on the moon; but in those five years 6,000,000 Americans will die of cancer and heart disease, two killers which could be killed by the ex- penditure of that. moon - money on medical research. Today we spent a fortune on keeping com- municable disease out of our countries; but it would be cheaper, surer and more hu- manitarian to stamp these dis- eases out of the world, said the senator. "Preventive medicine is cheaper than curative medi- cine," he sai@. Mrs: Jagan was born and raised in Chicago, where she is said to have belonged to the Young Communist League. She married the Guianian dentist of East Indian blood 19 years ago: He is now the embattled prem- ier of that small country of 600,- 000 East Indians and Africans, poised on a litoral strip of sugar plantations below sea level, and threatened by the encroaching jungle from behind and the sea from before. Whilst a British col- ony, its tottering finances were subsidised by the mother coun- try. But Guiana's disentangle- ment from the apron strings has ended this, and Mrs. Jagan was here to seek a federal loan, and will go to the United Na- tions to seek technical and fi- nancial aid to fill the gap. Fail- ing such help, Guiana will ac- cept aid from elsewhere, mean- ing Russia. RESIGNED FROM POLITICS A highly intelligent mother of children aged 12 and six, Mrs. Jagan has resigned from elec- tive politics to devote her highly political abilities to being sec- retary of the People's Progres- sive party. She described vividly to me the recent riots in Georgetown, the capital of her country. The mob was led in person, she said, by Peter Daguiar, a Part- uguese - Guianian businessman who is not only head of the United Force party but also the millionaire proprietor of a soft drink company and other busi- nesses. Her spectacular word picture conjured up the incred- ible image of Liberal Leader Mike Pearson inciting the mob to hurl rocks at the windows of Prime Minister Diefenbaker's home, whilst millionaire brewer E. P. Taylor set fire to the buildings on Parliament Hill aided by a screaming rabble. : provincial is only fair to let the city coun- cil know ahead of time our feel- ings. I hope you will understand the spirit of this letter and not consider this as a display of temper or tantrum but as hon- est criticism and factual ques- tioning of your continual pro- motion of a city manager with only innuendo in support and lacking in fact. Answers to my questions could change my mind but re- member you have not always been right. Remember your cru- sade to clean up the Board of Education last election. That turned out to be a game of ducks and drakes. KEITH W. ROSS Oshawa j TOBACCO ACREAGE Dear Sir: What have present tobacco farm owners done or paid that they should have to- bacco growing rights that are denied to other farm owners having just as good tobacco land Does not a skilled grower often. grow better tobacco on poorer land, than {s grown by the average grower on good or best tobacco land To make it fair for all, the public should demand that the government should license out tobacco acreage each year to all persons that wish to grow it. It should make no difference, the quality, the land or where grown, if land owned or rented, or if the person is in good or bad standing with past or pres- ent tobacco boards. If the per- son pays the government, the year to year set per acre li- cense fee, no limit to acreage the person wishes to grow should be denied them. Application forms for this year's tobacco acreage should be printed and made available as soon as possible. On the forms should be a five to three hundred dollar an acre scale rise suggestion licence fee per acre columns. The grower ap- plicant shall mark in the col- umns of the forms, acres want- ed opposite each acre price the limit he would pay. The signed forms along with 10 per cent deposit offer must be in hands of the government by closing date. The yearly li- cence acre price to obtain de- sired acreage then can be quickly determined and correct balance owing can be demand- ed by the government. Later applicants at planting time or those desiring a few more acres should pay a higher licence per acre. Has it not been often said by tobacco farm owners in a boastful way, my other farm, my certain number of farms? Has not the governments and its tax structure failed the great majority of its voters mis- erably that the multiple farm owner and firms were ever in any way attracted to own a sec- ond farm? Why should the taxpayer and one farm or business owner be burdened by the cost of handl- ing and storing surplus agricul- tural products caused by the over-size producer? To give the one home farm owner protection and opportun- ity needed, the acre licence fee should be on a scale rise basis such as income tax. A much more correct assess- ment and audit by townships and counties on tobacco land could be obtained by acreage li- cence system. The government should use part or much of the acreage money to push exporting tobac- co out of Canada. The balance could go to reduce or eliminate and federal sale taxes on essential items. Ernest V.
