She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1962--PAGE 6--~ De Gaulle Impossible But Not Replaceable Resignations of five ministers from the French government did not ruffle the autocratic calm of Presi- dent de Gaulle. With the monumental faith in his own infallibility that has been distinguishing feature of his career, de-Gaulle replaced the minis- ters and set out on a speaking tour. As far as he was concerned, the in- cident was little more than a petty annoyance. In the space of a few days, de Gaulle managed not only to patch up the French government, but to show his dislike and suspicion of Britain in remarks about the Com- mon Market, reinforce his policy of fixing Franco-German solidarity as the pivot of European power, and display his irritating jealousy of American power and leadership by making peevish remarks about dis- armament talks and possible negotia- tions about Berlin. A few years ago, when France ap- peared to be on the verge of anarachy, de Gaulle was hailed as the savior of his country and a key figure in West European unity. There is still no alternative leader on the scene in France, a man who could keep the splintered political parties from tear- ing each other to pieces, and shred- ding French political freedom in the process. His personal prestige in France is still tremendous. But to outsiders -- and to many within France -- he and West Germany's Adenauer remain the Neanderthals in a new European age. They are the inflexible ones, the great stone monu- ments that seem to defy the erosion of time and opinion. Winston Churchill said that of all the crosses he had to bear during the Second World War, the Cross of Lorraine was the heaviest. The same cross now burdens the impatient young shoulders of President Ken- nedy and the aged but still sturdy back of Britain's Macmillan. And now, if one is to judge by the inci- dent of the resignation, the auto- cratic weight of de Gaulle is tiring some of the French parliamentarians who gave him their support. But always, friends and. enemies alike come back to the disturbing question: After de Gaulle, what? For Victory And Peace By CAPTAIN R. J. PULLAR, CA Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Oshawa. In one of his essays Joseph Conrad mentions a letter written by Sir Robert Stopford, who was a com- mander of one of the ships with which Nelson chased to the West Indies a fleet nearly double in num- ber. Describing the experience and hardships of that desperate adven- ture, the commander wrote these words: "We are half-starved and otherwise inconvenienced by being so long out of port, but our reward is -- we are with Nelson." No matter how rough the seas of life are, and be the enemy of our souls ever so strong, God and one are a majority, and with our Lord Jesus Christ as our Commander, no matter whether we are "half-starved and otherwise _ incovenienced,"' "our reward is" -- we are with Him and He with us, and the victory is there- fore ours. And under His flag, who would not wish to launch out into the uncharted seas of life and taste adventure? Our Lord wants us to venture things for His sake. In the Old and the New Testament Scriptures, many are the promises of victory for the soul who trusts God. Not only does God give us the victory in our lives, but He also gives us His peace: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stay- ed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." (Isaiah 26.3.) Here surely is that inner peace, that inner serenity, which men and women are despera- tely wanting today. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27.) Let us take to our hearts these words of our Lord, and hold on to them. Marxism Drag On Soviet Poor countries are in a hurry to shed their poverty, to move from underdevelopment to development; and because they're in a hurry they are often dazzled by the achieve- ments of the Soviet Union, which appears to have grown into a great industrial power in less than 50 years. It can be argued that dictatorial methods must be used in any rush program of modernization. Russia has used these methods, of course, in the guise of Marxism. Writing in Encounter, High Seton-Watson sug- gests that Marxism is "a most per- verse doctrine on which to base" such dictatorial methods, because it is not just a doctrine 'of state enterprise but involves a whole complex of doctrines about society, including contempt for the peasantry as a class and for all the values of rural society. He goes on: "It is arguable that doctrinaire Marxism has been a disaster for Russia, and that the successes which She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Pub!'<her C.

It is arguable that without. doctrinaire Marxism the resources would have been more effi- ciently and more quickly exploited. "It is a matter not of argument but of fact that Russian agriculture has remained inefficient and un- productive ever since the 1920s. . .It is not unreasonable to suppose that this is largely due to the basic opposition of the Russian peasantry to collec- tivization. In short, the conclusion for the underdeveloped societies should be, not that Marxism has a scientific answer to all problems but merely that, if you have the natural resources of Russia (which the new states have not) and if you use dic- tatorial methods, you can modernize quickly."

What sort of a contribution are you? YOUR HEALTH with constipation, but as soon as I am away on a vacation, . or even just a weekend, I have Speedy Treatment Of Breast Lumps By Joseph G .Molner, M. D. Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to pass along my experi- ence to "F.T.D."' in response to her questions about a_ breast lump. Two years ago when I was 18 I discovered a lump in my left breast. My doctor suggested that It be removed. The operaiion was minor and the lump was a benign cyst. I was in the hospital only four days and my scar is very small. I've had no recurrence or any sign of another lump. I hope this is of some value to " D."--S. P It should be, and thank you for writing. There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding about a "lump in the breast." Since breast cancer is the most frequent type in women, there is every reason to keep people aware of the danger. Treatment as soon as possible is the way to cure it com- pletely. But it is wrong to assume that every lump is cancer. The ratio of non-cancerous to can- cerous is approximately 25 or 30 to one, For this reason women should not postpone examination of a lump out of 'fear of being told that it is cancer."' Most of the time it will not be--and in the small proportion of lumps that are, indeed, malignant, speed is the only route to safety, and delay is an invitation to misery and death. Where the lump is not malig- nant, there is no reason to be alarmed. True, some of these non-malignant lumps should be removed, some in order to eliminate pain, discomfort or risk of infection, others in order to make a definite decision as to whether malignancy exists. In a good many other cases, the doctor will be able to de- termine, without surgery, that the lump is harmless and may safely be ingnored. There is, among some women at least, a fear that any lump at all is going to result in "'dis- figuring surgery." This simply is not true, and today's letter is one excellent example of how simple the removal of a ebnign lump can be. Don't delay examination be- cause of fear or any. other motive. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a boy of 13 and have a problem that I haven't heard of before. My facial hairs are coming out dark, tough and heavy. Every time I shave, they come out worse. What should I do? Should I continue to shave?-- s. D Son, I doubt if you have a problem except that your beard has arrived a little ahead of the rest of the gang. About 14 is average, but it can vary a year or so in either direction. Shaving won't make the beard heavier, The growth occurs in the roots under the skin, and cutting off the tops of the hairs has no effect. So all I can say is welcome to the army of razor - users, good luck and don't cut yourself. Dear Dr. Molner: When I am at home I never have trouble QUEEN'S PARK Grossman Sticks To His Principles By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Twice in three days we get to mention here Hon. Allan Grossman, chairman of the LCBO. " This time because he has turned into a giant killer. Where millions have feared to tread he stepped in and slapped down a brewery. He closed down the main store of Dow's Brewery for using runners. Probably nobody but he would have done it. Others would have found a corner to hide behind. But Mr. Five foot Two peered out from behind his horn-rims and said "That's it." TWO SIDED Mr. Grossman is an enigma. He knows the ways of ward politics as ward politics are not too often known around here. In the House at times only Hon. George Wardrope can be louder, noisier and more boring. But put him up against a point of principle and he can show quite another side of the coin. In the long, battle here over fluoridation he was the only one in the many opposed who really dared to stand up and be counted. He spoke at length--knowing he was inviting the wrath of voters innumerable. And his opposition was all based on principle. The liquor commissioner is a man who fought his way up through a life where not many gloves were worn. He made a big success in the insurance business. He has the big drive you need to go over the top in that field. He went through Toronto civic politics, certainly not the best training-ground for a man. This left the ward stamp. But it couldn't take away the brain and energy which got him there. NO HARM Naming him liquor commis- sioner was one of Premier Ro- barts' early official acts. At the time it was one of those things you wonder about. Would it work or wouldn't it. Now it is beginning to look like a master-strike. The big upheaval in the booze laws has been well started, and to date there is no sign of any important hurt to the govern- ment, They were common sense changes. And the man who mainly bred them was the new little czar of the Front Street kingdom. He showed a tough mind in them. He has shown it further in the Dow's slap-down. He is a tough little nut. This is obvious to those who didn't know it before. But the liquor business needs a tough nut as boss.

The proj- ect is under auspices of the Colombo Plan. terrible trouble. I know it is probaby Ithe diet, but is there anything one can do about it? --M. A. It may not be the diet at all. It may be inactivity while trav- eling; or excitement and tense- ness; or bad timing of bowel action because you have to fit into a different routine. A mild laxative or better yet a glyc- erine suppository is quite ef- fective for this type of consti- pation. READERS' VIEWS Dear Sir: I drive over to Toronto every day for electric treatments on my throat. I have never for a long time given a hitch-hiker a ride. Last Wednesday when com- ing out of Toronto I saw a young fellow with school books in his hand so gave him a ride. He asked me how far I was going, I said Oshawa. He said he was going to Bay Ridges. He then pulled out a package of cigarettes. He offered me one. I said "No thanks as I am tak- ing treatments for my throat" and I would rather he didn't smoke while in the car. He didn't consider what I said, be- cause he lit the cigarette. The only thanks I got was for him to slam the door shut when I let him out. So from now out hitch- hikers can stand by the side of the road till they freeze or roast before I'll pick any one up. It is inconsiderate guys like him that spoil the reputation for others, He didn't look to be any more than 15 or 16. NO RIDERS. Oshawa. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 19, 1962 Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I, was exe- cuted in the Tower of London 426 years ago--in 1536--still protesting her innocence of charges of infidelity. The next day Henry married Jane Sey- mour. . 1857--William Channing and Moses Farmer were granted a patent for the first electric fire alarm system. 1958 -- Gen. Charles de Gaulle announced he was ready to assume power in crisis-ridden France. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Charge Communists Seek To Disrupt Labor Meets By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Hugh Gaitskell, Labor party leader, arid George Brown, his deputy, got the shock of their lives when their respective weekend political ral- lies, at Glasgow and London, were disrupted and in the case of Mr. Brown, abandoned, because of when they were in- vaded by gangs of noisy ban- the-bomb hecklers. Reason for the surprise is that the Commit- tee for Nuclear Disarmament has more than a sprinkling of Labor MP's among its leaders, and it draws its main support from the Labor movement. Mr. Gaitskell really warmed up to his task in making a scathing attack on the noisy de- monstrators. He denounced them as not "worth a tinker's cuss" and as being "just pea- nuts'. He challenged his inter- rupters to go to Moscow and try demonstrating on the Red Square. ORGANIZED ATTACKS Len Williams, general secre- tary of the Labor Party, ac- cused highly - organized Com- munist Groups within the CND for the disturbances, He said: "These are only the latest of a series of attempts by the CND to disrupt Labor meetings and damage the cause of our party, just at the very moment when we are poised for victory. These attacks are unquestionably or- ganized by the Communist party and other extremist left-wing groups hostile to Labor." Mr. Williams called on all members of the Labor party to disavow and dissociate them- selves from the CND move- ment. And admission that Com- munists had infiltrated the CND came from its chairman, Canon Collins of St. Paul's. But he denied that the policy of CND had passed into their hands. There are within the Labor leadership divided views as to what should now be done about the Committee for Nuclear Dis- armament. Some are counsel- ling. caution against any hasty action because of the large number of party members in it. But there is mounting righ wing pressure for action against the 'red' fringe, and Mr. Gaitskell himself is in favor of drastic action to pre- vent a dangerous fifth column spring up and imperilling the party's future. NATO PROGRESS There was a good deal of pub- lic criticism from nuclear dis- armers when Holy Loch, in Scotland, became a Polaris sub- marine base. Whether or not public opinion has - become somewhat mellowed since then or has become accustomed to the idea, there has. been little or no unfavorable reaction to the announcement that Holy Loch is to become a full-fledged NATO base in the west coast of Scotland. This was one of the decisions reached at the NATO defence and foreign ministers' confer- ence at Athens. Under it, this enclosed stretch of water on the Clyde will take on an as- pect of even greater importance than was envisaged when it be- came a Polaris sumbarine base. It will play a much larger part in the whole logistic structure of the NATO defence forces. Another important decision reached was that to commit Britain's strategic Bomber U.S. Comment Mixed On Dollar Devaluation WASHINGTON (CP) -- Can- ada's dollar devaluation has generated widespread United States comment, ranging from fear of increased trade compe- tition to hope that eventually Canada may help the U.S. knock out Castroism in Cuba. The immediate reaction was to calculate how the pegging of the Canadian dollar at 92.5 cents in U.S. terms would af- fect the American pocketbook. Judging from editorial opinion, the Canadian move was found none too popular. In the Pacific northwest, where American lumbermen and mining operators have been complaining about the stiff com- petition from Canadian exports, newspapers sharply criticized the "cheapening"' of the Cana- dian dollar. The Sunday Oregonian ac- cused Canada of having "ma- nipulated" its currency ex. change rate by 12 per cent within a year and said any Aerican lumberman in_ that area could testify to the high success of the Canadian export drive. COMPETITION STIFFER The Spokane Spokesman - Re- view, noting that the Canadian dollar is pegged at 92.5 cents compared with a flexible rate that hovered at about $1.06 just a few years ago, said American raw materials "now will be facing even stiffer competition from across the border." On the east coast, the Boston Herald saw some benefit from the Canadian move. It sug- gested that if, afterall, Canada is able to stabilize its currency and build up a bigger export trade, it may no longer - feel "obliged" to trade with Cuba and Red China. Many newspapers and period- icals expressed concern that lowering the external value of the Canadian dollar would re- duce the heavy flow of Cana- dian tourists to the U.S. The Watertown, N.Y., Daily Times expressed hope the Canadian government would re-establish the dollar at par to better re- lations and travel between the two countries. Some editorials, including that of the Washington Post, concluded that while the imme- diate reason for Canadian de- valuation was the quickening drain on Canadian monetary reserves, the more deep-rooted cause was that the bloom was off the Canadian investment rose. Command entirely to NATO. Britain's 175-bomber force, for- merly only "earmarked" as available for NATO purposes, now for the first time, becomes formally committed to the NATO command. This is a step towards convincing the other powers in NATO t the Unit- ed States and Britain are. com- mitted to European defence' with all they have. There has been little sign of public criticism of this far- reaching step, but there may be some major opposition when the matter is debated in the House of Commons. TANK REJECTED On the discount side of NATO relationships, however, comes the fact that the West German government has withdrawn its order for production of two pro- totypes of British Chieftain tanks. This was intended to be developed as a tank to be used in the British and West Ger- man armies. The prototypes should have been delivered to the British Army on the Rhine and the German Army a year ago. Difficulties with the Chief- tain's 45-ton engine, however, have held up completion of the project. Now the West Germans are no longer interested. They are going ahead with their own standard tank, which weighs only 35 tons. And the Chieftain is left out in the cold. The French Army had already re- jected it. And all because of ingly interminable delays in getting the British tank to the production level. TO DEPORT CRIMINALS One of the most important sections of the Commonwealth Immigration Bill which is going to be rigidly enforced when it becomes law on July 1 is that which provides for the deporta- tion of Commonwealth citizens who have been convicted of ser- ious crimes in Britain. The gov- ernment does not intend to waste any time in implementing the main proposals of the Act. The Home Office will act im- mediately when a court recome mends deportation of a convict- ed criminal. This will be a very useful weapon for the country's police forces to use against un- derworld racketeers and vice operators. The entry-by-jobs provisions will be more difficult to arrange in detail, and they may not be operating at full swing until the fall of the year. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO O. M. Alger of the Oshawa Telegram was elected vice- president of the Midland Coun- ties' Press Association. Town council decided to take a plebiscite of the ratepayers on June 10 on the question of daylight saving. Rotarians from Oshawa and district joined in presenting a charter to the newly formed Port Hope Rotary Club. Those attending from Oshawa includ- ed Alf Hicks, F. R. Bailes, Art Germond, J L. Whattam, O. R. Burns, Charles Davis, David Tod and W. A. Coad, Board of Railway Commis- sioners issued an order grant- ing the request of the CNR for authority to close its North Oshawa station. A class of 40 candidates was confirmed in St. George's Church by the Rt. Rev. Bishop W. D. Reeve of Toronto. The federal government an- nounced that no work would be done at the Oshawa Harbor in 1922. Oshawa building permits issued by the town engineer for five months passed the $200,000 mark. Dr. T. S. Tucker attended the combined convention of the On- tario Dental Society and the Canadian Dental Association in Toronto. A contract was awarded to the Crescent Concrete Com- pany of Toronto for the laying of the foundation for the new St. George's Anglican Church, estimated to cost approximate- ly $100,000, Eight million whitefish fry, supplied by the government hatchery at Simcoe, were placed in Lake Ontario at Osh- awa and Bowmanville. Argue and McLaughlin bought the old Warren Mill property on King street west from Hogg and Lytle, Limited, and opened a coal business. J. D. Storie, president of the hospital board, announced that contracts had been awarded for the McLaughlin Memorial Ma- ternity wing which was expect- ed to be ready for occupancy on November 1.
