She Oshavon Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1962--PAGE 6 Voters Should Be Alert For Election During the next few weeks, aspiring politicians will attempt to stun voters with their oratory so that their pro- mises will not be subjected to sharp scrutiny. The listeners, we hope, will slip the verbal punches to grapple with the promises. Spokesmen for all the parties will be playing this tradi- tional campaign game, but an example of what to be on guard for can be taken from a current bit of Liberal literature bearing the brave title "Health care as needed -- The Answer." Here is the promise: "A new Liberal government will set up a medical care plan. It will cover doctors' and diagnostic services, in the office, home or hospital by general practi- tioners, surgeons and specialists." The natural question is How much will it cost and how will it be paid for? The pamphlet's answer: The pro- posed plan will provide all doctors' services without charge to all chil- dren up to the age of 16, to most retired people, and to the unemployed. For all other Canadians, the plan will cover all doctors' bills above a low annual cost. There will be no charge Deception to anyone who does not go to & doctor . . . How these payments are made will be arranged in agreement with the provinces. They will be de- signed to cover rather less than a half of the total cost of medical care. The federal government will pay the rest of the cost from general revenue. This will mean a charge on the treasury, if everyone joins the plan, of somewhat over $200 millions(in the first year." Governments chronically underesti- mate the costs of medical care plans, but let's accept that figure of "some- what over $200 millions". The money will come from general revenue, which means taxes contributed by every taxpayer. It could not be true, there- fore, that "there will be no charge to anyone who does not go to a doctor." That statement is delibera- tely misleading. There would be a charge, and it would show up in taxes. This sort of thing does no credit to any political party. It is time poli- ticians quit trying to convince the public that some good fairy will provide the money for their "free" schemes. CBC Showing Timidity Most Canadians and many Amer- feans have the impression that while the big TV networks in the United States are so afraid of offending any- one that they produce nothing but bland pap in the name of entertain- ment, the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration is imaginative and daring, thumbing its nose at advertisers, pressure groups, and even Parliament itself. Well, there may have been something to it at one time. It is scarcely valid now. In recent years several programs have been dropped or changed by the CBC because of pressure from advertisers or some group or associa- tion. Just last fall, a cemedienne's monologue was censored because it made biting references. to political leaders. The latest example of CBC timidity is its refusal to broadcast an episode in a series called "The Defenders," which originates with the Columbia Broadcasting System, because it deals with abortion. The CBC gave as its reason for rejection the episode's "strongly emotional ap- peal for the relaxation of the law governing therapeutic abortion " and its failure to five "full weight to all the important aspects." Courtesy By In a few hours now, the trout season will be open and there will be a stam- pede to trout waters -- and during the opening weekend particularly, that means a rush to the streams in southern Ontario. Many of these streams run through private land, and each year sees more "No Tres- passing" signs put up by the land owners. Many of these signs are the result of the lack of care and courtesy shown by the fishermen. We recommend to the attention of the fishermen the following rules suggested by the Lindsay district forester, A. E. Walroth: Observe any restrictions or sugges- She Oshawa Cimes T.

Any sort of drama should have "a strong emotional appeal", and certainly the greatest dramatists were not in the least concerned about presenting "all the important as- pects"; they were content to examine a situation, present a point of view or state and argument. We doubt if "The Defenders" is even good, let alone great drama, but it does not deserve censorship simply because it deals with a controversial subject and because the CBC is timid. Top-flight comedians like Bob Hope, Mort Sahl, Bob Newhart and Shelly Berman do not hesitate to sharpen their wits on any public figure in the United States, from the President and his family down. But the CBC found a couple of wisecracks by a Canadian comedienne too hot to handle. Only the other day President Oui- met of the CBC said: "There should be no subject which, responsibly handled, is unfit for broadcasting. There should be no taboos or sacred cows or things we just don't talk about." That's what he preaches. It's a pity the CBC doesn't practice it. Fishermen tions the land owner may have; seek permission before trespassing on private property. Farm roads and lanes are the "life- lines" of the land -- don't drive on them without permission, because you can damage these roads during the spring; park your car where it will not interfere with farm operations and other traffic. Be courteous and friendly. If there are more than two or three in the fishing party, -it is wise to split up into small groups--no one wants to see an army trudging across his land. Be careful about littering. Debris like cans, bottles, papers and boxes left by anglers irritate the landowner and lead to posting of property. So does damage to the property -- broken gates and stretched fences. Leave gates as you find them -- a farmer's time is too valuable to spend round- ing up stray livestock, and the live- stock too valuable to be hazarded on busy roads. e careful with fire. Many a wood- lotYhas been burned as a result of a fisherman's carelessness. Courtesy is the keyword. Lack of courtesy has caused much' of the posting of trout streams. And it has also made life miserable for other anglers, who find their fishing and their appreciation of pleasant sur- roundings wrecked by filth on the ground and banks that have been trampled into the stream bed. 4 YOUR HEALTH Nervous Stomach Spoils Her Date By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I had been dating a fellow quite steadily and suddenly found when I was with him I had to vomit, with hardly any warning. Sometimes it was due to an argument and sometimes for no apparent reason. I have heard of people having a "nervous stomach," but if that were the cause, wouldn't it occur any time I had an upset with anyone? Why just with this particular fellow? Does it occur to many young people?--P.E. Psychological reactions of this sort are not so very uncommon --of course I don't mean that most young people have them, but physicians encounter them with regularity and in varying degrees. These episodes of throwing up (or other manifestations of nerves rebelling) can result from anger, as a quarrel. Other times they sometimes result simply from excitement. I have in mind a little girl (now grown up) who got more excited about Halloween than any other holi- day. For a week or two in advance she was busy getting a costume ready and looking forward to the festivities. Invariably, over a period of six or eight years, she suddenly got thoroughly sick at her stomach along about dusk, and missed the whole thing. But she went right ahead the next year, getting over-excited in anticipa- tion, and getting sick again. She didn't, I regret to say, outgrow this trait until she was too old for Halloween to have its old black magic for her. She's still a high-strung young woman, but she realizes it and has pretty fair success in warding off 'sick headaches" and other consequences of psychological upsets: In your case, if it happened with other dates, I'd say some attention to your own personal- ity would be in order. But since the trouble occurs only with this young man, I would look for some specific clash or conflict. It may be excitement, intensi- fied by over-romantic interests. Or it could be the result of some deep-seated matter, some trait which, consciously or un- consciously, you find repulsive or objectional in him. He may be a dominating type which you halfway like yet strongly resent, or it could be a mannerism, or his speech, or something that fundamentally reminds you of something or someone you dis- like. For another possibility, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO One of the buildings at the plant of W. R. Phillips Co. Ltd. was gutted by fire. Dr. C. C. Goldring, formerly of Whitby, was appointed to the position of Toronto Public School. Inspector. An intermediate lacossse club was organized in the city with Fred Maundrell as_ president, James Kervin coach and George Munroe as manager. City council announced the first sale of lands for taxes in many years was to be held here. Robert Henry Jacobs, a resi- dent of Oshawa for 57 years, died in his 75th year. He had been associated with the Rob- son Leather Co. for 25 years. At the annual meeting of the Oshawa Motors Baseball Club, F. G. Chester was elected pres- ident, to succeed C. E. Me- Tavish. Other members of the executive were: Norman Hall, vice-president, Harold Luke, secretary and K. Donovan, treasurer. Oshawa and Toronto Odd- fellows paraded to King Street United Church, where a special service was held, commemo- rating the 108th anniversary of the founding of the Order. Oshawa building permits for April, 1927, had a value of $517,965. Activity in real estate trans- actions in Oshawa was report- ed to be the greatest on record. Hambly Brothers announced the erection of an artificial ice rink on the property north of their ice plant, King street west, with a seating capacity of 4,144. A total of 4100 telephones were in use in the city at the end of March 1927, compared to 1,700 at the beginning of January 1922. Delegates attending the meet- ing of the Cobourg Presbytery from local churches were: Dr. H. S. Dougall, of Simcoe Street Church, Rev. R. A. Whattam of Albert Street Church, Rev. C. W. DeMille of King Street and Rev. F. J. Maxwell of St. Andrew's Church. The Board of Health started a campaign for pasteurization of all milk sold in Oshawa. Children's Week was observed in the city churches and a con- ference of Sabbath S hool teachers was held in Simcoe Street United Church, with Rey. Dr. W. P. Fletcher, minister of the Christian Church, Oshawa, and Mrs. J. J. Eaton of Toronto, the special speakers. PREMIUMS AS LOW AS 360 KING ST. WEST © Don Ellison @ Gerry Osborne SAVE...

Where the violent upsets are associated only with this one young man, I should be cautious about letting the romance go further unless you can get to the root of the trouble. A psychiatrist doubtless would be helpful, but your family physician might likewise be of aid. Almost every physician absorbs a store of practical psychiatric know-how, and be- sides that he can gain a per- spective more easily than you yourself can, if you will tell him frankly about the problem. Dear Dr. Molner: Are formal- dehyde or other harmful sub- stances absorbed into food from plastic dishes?--Mrs. J. D. No. Formidable - sounding chemicals are used in many products, but are converted into perfectly harmless compounds in the process. For one ex- ample, both nitric and sulphuric acids are used in making cel- luloid, but neither remains in the finished product. Dear Dr. Molner: I use 12 half-grain saccharin tablets a day in my coffee. Do you think this is too many?--MRS. W. H. There's no reason to worry. I think your beverage would be sickeningly sweet, however. HUMAN RIGHTS The writ of habeas corpus which directs that a prisoner must be brought for trial was known in England as early as the 14th century. QUEEN'S PARK New Atmosphere Felt In Session By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--It was, a session. Generally speaking one of the best in a long time. It was hard - working. With long hours and a big budget of business. But more important than this was that it had a new character --it was quite markedly differ- ent than other sessions of re- cent years. It was, you might say, stamped with "go". Clearing Way: As the first year of the Ro- good barts administration it was the start of a new era. And the new outlook was tela both felt it and saw It wasn't represented too much in accomplishment. The government hadn't been in of- fice long enough to have a solid program. But much of the business of the session was spent in taking first steps or clearing the way for new Gevelopments. REPORT FROM U.K. Control Buildings To Track Fallout By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times HORSHAM, Sussex -- On the outskirts of Horsham, alongside the railway line which runs from London to Portsmouth, stands a squat brick building, without windows, just like a pile of bricks that might have been made by a child playing with a toy. There is no beauty about it. Yet it cost in the neighborhood of $300,000. And those who plan- ned and built it, and who are in charge of the operations in- side it, hope that this money has been entirely wasted, and that the building will never be used for the purpose for which it has been constructed. This square block of bricks and steel shutters is the first of some 30 similar structures which will be built in different parts of Britain. It is the head- quarters of the Royal Observer Corps which will be responsible for the plotting and reporiing of nuclear fall-out in the event of a nuclear war. This control building has just TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 27, 1962... Canadians voted in a pleb- iscite 20 years ago today-- in 1942--to release the Mac- kenzie King government from its pre-election pledge not to employ conscripts for overseas service. It wasn't until the beginning of 1945, in the late months of the Second World War, that the first draftees actually were sent overseas. 1521 -- Portuguese navi- gator Ferdinand Magellan was killed in the Philip- pines, his crew continuing their voyage to become the first men to sail around the world. 1960 -- Syngman Rhee re- signed as president of South Korea. become operational. It was of- ficially opened by the Duke of Norfolk, whose home, Arundel Castle, was a Royal Observer Corps post for many years, There are some unusual fa- tures about this building. It has no letter box. The front door is of thick steel, and is clipped shut like the water-tight doors of a warship. At the back is a similar door, also airtight. Once these doors are clipped shut, the only air for the 60 ob- servers and the scientists who will work in the building is sucked in, cleaned, tested and pumped through the building. The interior looks very much like the bowels of a warship, with no daylight, narrow pas- sages, dozens of doors, and with the background noise of the air conditioning equipment hum- ming through it. In the event of nuclear war, the 60 observers could live quite comfortably for three weeks sealed off from the rest of the world. ALWAYS READY The equipment and staff are in a state of constant readiness. There are decontamination rooms with complete changes of clothing, dormitories and a can- teen and kitchen. In the centre of the building, with its 30 inch thick walls and reinforced con- crete roof is the operations room. In it are two large plots, one vertical and one horizontal, on which the fall of nuclear bombs and the drift of fall-out are plotted. Round these plots sit the oper- ators, who seem inseparable from their telephone headsets even when walking around the building. In the event of a national emergency these men and women of the Royal Observer Corps could all be on duty on very short notice. If there were a nuclear attack, the steel shut- ters would be closed to keep out the deadly radioactive dust. And inside, 60 men and women would collect and pass on to the outside world inform- ation which might save the lives of others. In, this sense there was and a good bundle of it. DEVELOPMENT LED Right at the start of the fall session there was the new eco- nomic development program. Except for the liquor changes, . it probably was the most devel- oped step taken at the session. Even it, of course, was only a first approach, but the pro- gram itself was rounded. -- BORN: not apply to o elds. ipply ther none of these had there been the thorough study needed for a broad new approach, But in many directions there were new steps which indicated there would eventually be comprehen- sive new policies. Farm marketing was one of these--there was initial action towards meeting the problem of vertical integration. Labor was another.. The door was partially opened to what it seemed would end up with a policy of much firmer controls. In Education, of course, we are on the road to tremendous changes, And to a lesser degree the im- pact of a new era was evident in > other branches of govern- men OPPOSITION ALSO This mark of change was not confined to the government, It also was evident in the op position programs. Both opposition groups indi- cated they also were getting ready to travel new roads. The Liberals had a number of new bills. The N.D.P. showed new directions in its thinking. Generally, it was unquestion- ably the start of a new day.
