Fhe Oshaton Sines « s Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1962 --- PAGE 6 Super-Highway Tolls Would Be Unfair Levy Mayor Robert Simpson of Arnprior thinks that Ontario could increase its revenues by putting a toll on Highways 400 and 401. The Sarnia Observer agrees with the mayor, and comments: "A year ago Ontario had to intro- duce the sales tax to keep a strong revenue picture in the light of in- creasing costs. We feel that if such fine super-highways are to serve the motoring public as a convenience, the same motoring public should help defray the cost. If 100,000 cars per month used the highways between Windsor and Toronto at $1 toll per vehicle, the province would be $1,- 200,000 richer at year's end." It's a plausible argument, but we are forced to disagree. What the mayor and the Observer overlook is Trout Lakes How often have you wished that you could collect a hundred dollars for every Trout Lake in Ontario? Well, the next time you do, spare a kind thought for the problem of the map-makers. Here in sober prose, is the explanation of W.A. Barnard, chief cartographer for the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests: Few areas in Canada or any other country compare with Ontario which, within its area of 412,582 square - miles, contains close to a quarter of a million lakes, thousands of islands, and innumerable bays, streams and other natural features . . . One of the biggest difficulties encountered is the indiscriminate use of names of animals, fish, fowl], vegetation and terrain given to geographical features, lakes in particular, by persons whose interests and activities have not ex- that most of the people using the super-highways have already helped to pay for the construction through taxes, and continue to pay for main- tenance and extension. To make them pay still more by way of a toll would be unjust and probably self-defeat- ing, since it would tend to drive motorists from the high-speed low- accident highways to the two-lane, low-speed, high-accident routes that are already badly clogged. It is true that all Ontario residents have contributed to the cost of build- ing the super-highways, and many of them get no apparent benefit, espe- cially the people living in northern and northwestern Ontario. But then people in southern Ontario contribute to the cost of highways in the North. And the whole province benefits from the results of easier travel. And Such tended beyond the periphery of their own locality. Such persons have given little thought to the fact that these species of wild life are indigenous to most of the northern continental area, and that such a name as Trout can be applied to any lake which is the natural habitat of that fish. In On- tario some 96 lakes have been so named at one time or another and 18 of these are at present recognized as official. Twenty-three of the 110 lakes originally named Beaver are still shown on maps of provincial areas, along with 25 of the 95 which have been known as Clear. And these are only three of the common names. There are many others such as Deer, Pickerel, Mud, Stony, Rocky, and so on. And you can't just go ahead and change a name; there has to be local acceptance. So now you know. Intelligence In Cars Most traffic accidents are the result of stupidity -- that seems self- evident. A driver does something he knows he should not do, or something that is against the law. Now comes a study by Prof. Hans Eysench, head of the department of psychology of London University, showing that the best drivers are usually clever people, and that reckless driving is not only stupid in itself, but is often the sign of a person of below-average intelli- gence. Prof. Eysench says his tests proved that people with an intelligence quo- tient of 80 (the average is between 100 and 110) had many more acci- dents than people with a higher IQ. He feels that considerable caution Whi isi tes Visit Negro protest demonstrations con- tinue in Albany, Georgia, and the Albany police continue to arrest the demonstrators and the courts con- tinue to fine and jail them. It is all done without much fuss or flurry --there are no screaming mobs, no club-wielding "deputies", no tear gas bombs and no fixed bayonets. It is seemingly so routine, indeed, that from this distance we are apt to get the impression that in this case, at least, the white authorities are per- haps long-suffering and the Negroes just a little too aggressive.

The Ontario Safety League sug- gests that perhaps the standard of driving on the roads today would rise if society as a whole treated bad driving as a manifestation of sub- normal intelligence. Too many people glorify reckless, aggressive behavior behind the wheel. This sort of "courage" never impresses those who have to deal with the aftermath of a traffic accident -- police, ambu- lance attendants, distraught relatives. Whether or not brains and. good driving go together, says the League, there is no doubt that recklessness is always a mark of stupidity. A Church us may even wonder why the Negroes do not rely more on the orderly pro- cesses of law. One answer may be found in a report carried by the Atlanta Constitution of a Negro meeting near Albany: "The Negroes met in a church to talk about ways-to vote in a county where only 51 Negroes are registered. After all, this is the way democracy works; every qualified citizen has the right to cast a vote and abide in orderly acceptance of the laws given by the officials he elects. "And what happened? .. . The white men walked into the Negro church with their hats on and cigarettes in their mouths, and they suggested the would-be Negro voters ought not to be holding meetings like that. Some of the white men had badges on, and some did not. "The Negroes who must go on living there, and who might have wanted to vote, could not have failed to get the message their white visitors brought, It was stated rather plainly. "Every Georgian ought to read that story before he says anything more about the Negro's failure to act through democratic processes, and then ask himself one question: How comfortable is his conscience?" The question need not be directed exclusively at the white peuple of Georgia, "THERE'S NOBODY HERE BUT US FEET' QUEEN'S PARK Grade 13 Results Late Once Again By DON 0O'HEARN TORONTO -- Once again this year the Grade 13 examination results came out late. It was practically mid-August by the time the 33,000 students had them, Which meant that many of these 33,000 students couldn't know until after then whether they would be going to univer- ity this fall and where. OLD STORY These 'Grade 13 exam results are one of the oldest gripes around here. As you will well remember every year about this time there are complaints. The public and press can't understand why they are so late. The department of educa- tion gives quite a reasonabie explanation, but still promises that they will be speeded up. Then next August happens along and there is the same old story. The results. come out about the middle of the month-- and just a few weeks before the university year starts. There.has to be some sym- pathy with the department of education on this 'question. There is a big job to be done in marking the papers--there were 193,000 this year. And the department has to rely on what amounts to volun- tary help. The papers are marked by teachers who take a good part of their annual vacation to do this job (and are paid $28 a day. There is no control. The big- gest short-coming has always been in the number of markers. There never have been enough. And this is something which is not within any strong control by the department. Yet'at the same time there has to be a criticism. This is now an old problem. And it is a relatively impor- tant one. . It would seem that with a little ingenuity a great incon- venience, and perhaps hard- snip, could be spared thousands of boys and girls at a very crit- ical point in their lives, And despite the obvious diffi- culties why has there not been some improvement. There have been great objec- tions for years. But still with this there have been no substan- tial changes in the marking machinery. There would seem to have been an absence of imagination, and with it any lack of driving desire to correct a bad situa. tion. This can be one of the great- est sources of complaint in the civil service: complacency and a refusal to use imagination. And there are strong evi- dences of it here. REPORT FROM U.K. Fascists Inspire Street Battling By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Henry Brooke, who has just stepped into office as Home Secretary in the Brit- ish government, has a ticklish problem on his hands. Disorders at public meetings held by cer- tain groups with Nazi and Fas- cist leanings have reached the status of riots. Sir Oswald Mos- ley and his followers in a new group formed by the former British Fascist leader have re- ceived very rough handling from people bent on breaking up their meetings. A meeting held by a British group of Nazis on Tra- falgar Square ended in a fracas which saw scores of people ar- rested and fined. And in Dudley, Worcestershire, there has been a new outbreak of racial riot- ing, directed against West In- dians living in the community. These public disorders have had an extensive airing in the House of Commons. Demands have been made that the Home Secretary take action to prevent groups from holding meetings when there is a possibility that they may produce disorderly scenes and riots. A deputation of Jews has called at the Home Office to ask that legislative steps be taken to prohibit the holding of meetings of a racial- ly provocative character. NOT TOO SIMPLE These disorders have been un- fortunate. The police author- ities have been given full credit for handling them firmly but with discretion and tolerance. But for the Home Secretary to take such action as will prohibit the holding of such meetings in future is not as simple as it appears to be on the surface. One of the most prized pre- Tegatives of the British people is their right of freedom of speech. No matter how distaste- ful to the mass of the British people the Nazi and Fascist groups and their views may be, under British law, they have every right to give free expres- sion to these views, especially in times of peace. FACING PROBLEM The problem which is now being faced squarely by Mr. Brooke is that of how to pre- serve this right of free expres- sion of opinion while effectively discouraging wanton incitement to racial hatred. As the law now stands, the police authorities can only deal with the situation after disorders have developed. They cannot prevent the holding of meetings at which unpopular doctrines are likely to be promulgated by the speakers. Mr. Brooke recognized this when he promised the House of Commons to give the most thorough consideration to the proposals made for amendments to the Public Order Act. He said: "The extent and nature of the violence which has occurred at these meetings: is deeply dis turbing. However much we ab- hor and despise certain views which fortunately commend themselves to only a tiny minor. ity in this country, the use of physical violence as a means of preventing them from being ex- pressed is not a reaction that can be tolerated." Whatever solution Mr. Brooke may be able to find for the pre- vention of occasions which may produce rioting, one thing is certain. The traditional British right of free speech will be pre- served. He will adhere strictly to the saying usually attributed to Voltaire: 'I disagree with all that he says, but I will defend with my life his right to say it."

The group was command- ed by Dr. J. Worral. An Oshawa rink of bowlers skipped by C. C. Stenhouse took part in the Dominion Bowling Tourney in Toronto. Constable John Thomas and Magistrate J. E. Willis announ- ced they would exhibit poultry at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion. A. J. Graves returned to Osh- awa after residing in Brooklin for several years. He was an alderman. before he left to live in Brooklin. James Everitt forwarded his entry for the CNE 15 mile marathon swim. He trained in Lake Ontario twice daily, doing four and five mile spells each time.

OTTAWA REPORT maintaining his minimum popu- larity above the depths polled ' by Macmillan, sees his policies Western Leaders In Touchy Spots By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--From our garden province in the east, to that other mellowed pretty island off our Pacific coast, Canadian homes all share one thing: that combination utility-room play- room and rumpus-room of the outdoors which we call our backyard. By 9.30 every Monday morn- ing, our backyards make up a 3,000 mile' line of fresh washed clothes. On these hot midsum- mer afternoons, swings and sandboxes and plastic pools convert them into children's playgrounds. Here in Ottawa a token row of tomato plants and maybe a bij of pansies nurtured with slaughterhouse blood give lip- service to the customs of our pioneer days before vegetables came from: groceterias. But perhaps more signifi- cantly in Ottawa than in all those other backyards, the group of garden chairs converts the secluded terrace into a pri- vate evening parliament. There the affairs of the nation are en- thusiastically and imaginatively batted to and fro by politicians, diplomats, civil servants and the great miscellany of resi- dents and visitors whose inter- ests centre around Parliament NEW FRONTIER HEADACHE In this meteorologically dis- turbed summer, other disturb- ances havé given such discus- sions a new intensity. Even normally attentive hosts allow glasses to remain unreplenished for long periods, while guests similarly preoccupied by the conversation quite disregard this oversight. For Ottawa has become acutely conscious of a strange malaise which is already sweep- ing most of the free countries which are our Western Allies. In Britain Prime Minister Macmillan has had to back his cabinet to pieces in a purge of which he will assuredly become the final victim. In the U.S.A., President Kennedy, while as yet YOUR HEALTH Parents Should Read The Labels By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Yesterday we discussed dan- gerous fumes or chemicals in industrial use. Today let's stay closer. to home, and consider the myriad of household chemi- cals now in use. Cleaning compounds, waxes, mothproofing compounds, deod- orants, drugs, pesticides, even cosmetics, can be dangerous if misused. The danger of children being poisoned is a greater peril than some of the diseases we discuss in this column, and 1 cannot in conscience refrain from repeating a warning from time to time: 1 -- Keep "ordinary" house- hold compounds, medicines and drugs safely out of reach of young children. 2--Don't forget that young- sters prowl in the garage and basement. Don't leave gasoline, insect sprays, bleaches, laundry products where children can reach them, 3--And for yourself, get in the habit of reading labels. Look for the words "'Danger,"' '"'Warn- ing'"' or "Caution" which in de- scending order indicate the risk. The Manufacturing Chemists Association has defined some of the important words: Corrosive--A chemical. which destroys living tissue by con- tact. Economic poison -- A _ sub- stance used for destroying: in- sects, weeds, rodents, fungi, etc. Flammable--Anything having PICTURE FRAMING? SEE... Walmsley & Magill 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA a "flash point" between 20 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Irritant--Any substance which on immediate or prolonged or repeated contact will induce an inflammatory rash not involving destruction of tissue. Poison--A substance, contact with which will lead to fatal re- sults, usually in a short period of time. (It points out that this used to mean substances taken by mouth; it now includes any mode of contact, particularly in- haling, but sometimes through the skin.) Sensitizer--A material which ordinarily has no discernible re- action, but after contact or re- peated contact may "sensitize" some individuals. Subsequently even slight contact can cause a rash or other inflammatory re- action. Toxie -- Anything which can cause personal injury or illness through ingestion, inhalation or absorption. Harm, whether small or mas- sive, lurks in many a familiar household product--unless you read labels, and take such pre- cautions as are shown: Wear gloves, have plenty of ventila- tion, avoid contact with skin or eyes, and so on. 2 YB ear BE alas wae wath ANB CONDITIONING, TV and so © Bewediea: Hestmnenne -- Catan Spams * eamge barn to ented WLWS weoy epocal Kemplre oomweutarn wade oe Thebes Bato, Fryclaias, Bghteseing Bose, 'Wrote & Phone Revarvetions, Rede BTY Tickew' NEW YORK "33, AL COtenien 8.7400" HIRAM WALKER'S GOLD CREST EST'D 1858 25 OZ. ENJOY THE LIGHTER WHISKY! massacred by anominally friendly Congress. In West Ger- many, discontented voters are clamoring for the retirement of their aged one-time idol. And in France the president, whose very name symbolises his pre- destined eminence, has long seen his glory shadowed by the threat of militant overthrow, Britain slumped into an eco- nomic crisis last year, with emergency taxes, a "pay pause" to halt increases, and foreign exchange curbs. U.S.A. is poised at the top of a slippery slope marked "reces. sion", while her dollar has been under fire'as long and almost as strongly as ours. Canada offers parallels to these pictures. WEST NEEDS LEADERS Yet while our statesmen pro- claim the strength of our alli- ance and our urgent need for interdependence, they are com- pelled by domestic political cri- ses to slit each others throats as soon as the applause dies down. To wit, on July 4, Ken- nedy called for a great Western togetherness with expanded trade; the following week his high resolve was splintered by the pressures of U.S. lumber- men protesting against the ex- pansion of Canada's lumber trade. To one man only, this is all welcome. In the faraway Krem- lin, Nikita Khruschev sees the gradual fulfilment of his wild and unlikely prediction that the powerful Western countries would contrive their own col- lapse. Despite our great Western ad. vantages, our long start, our immense resources of material anc brains, our huge lead in major economic indices, we. of the West are now wallowing like an elephant which has sud- denly come upon an uphill gla- cier, while our foe streaks ahead like a young gazelle on a we'l-prepared cinder track. The people of Canada, Otta- wa's private evening parlia- ments concede, are aware of our troubles, aware of our sins of commission and ommission over 16 post-war years. By their votes in June, the people of Canada told Conservatives and Liberals to go back to the draw- ing board to create new plat- forms. They are hungry for bold creative leadership, such as the sickly 60s now demand. Any political party which awakes to this need will sweep the country in the next election.
