She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Abandoned Cemeteries Could Be Put To Use Clarke Township council has ap- pointed a board to look after the matter of abandoned cemeteries, and is in the process of passing the bylaw to give the board the necessary authority for its work. Old and abandoned cemeteries have long been a problem for municipals, particularly those in rural areas. Often they are little more than family burial grounds, tucked away in a corner of a field and convenient to a road or track that could be used for easy transport of a coffin. When the homestead was sold or amalga- mated with another or simply aban- doned,; the burial ground was un- touched -- and uncared for. The larger cemeteries, where several rural families placed their dead, began to be abandoned when the use of morti- cians became fashionable. A Barrie man, Neil J. McBride, has circulated a letter to newspapers, Free Speech The British find themselves in an old democratic quandary. When free speech leads to riots, how far can you go to silence the people who in- cite the riots without damaging the right to free expression of opinion? There are three or four tiny little Fascist-style organizations in Britain. Some of the members of these organi- zations act and talk like Nazis, and when they make public speeches they arouse the wrath of other Bri- tons who have rather vivid memories of some of the results of German Naziism and Italian Fascism. The anti-Nazis try to clobber the pro- Nazis, there is a near riot, the police have to step in to keep the peace and there is trouble for everyone. The British government has side- atepped the issue. It banned the hold- ing of Nazi meetings in London's Trafalgar Square because, in view of the disturbances at such meetings in the past, it would not be right to allow any more at a time of the year when there are likely to be large num- bers of holiday-makers and other members of the Legislature and county councils, proposing that the road maintenance section of the On- tario highways department be given the job of looking after the old ceme- teries. He argues that the road main- tenance men have all the tools, equip- ment and transportation needed for the job, which would also create more employment. It's a plausible idea, but more reasonable would be the elimination of the cemeteries and the returning of the land to more practical use. This is not a harsh opinion; the ceme- teries are not being cared for now; often they are so unkept as to be a mockery. The names of those buried there, with pertinent dates, could be preserved on plaques, and the areas used for the growing of food, for trees, or for roadside picnic areas -- uses which the earlier residents would undoubtedly have approved. Quandary visitors in London, most of whom would want to visit the Square. A Labor MP, however, has intro- duced a bill in the House of Com- mons which would make racial dis- crimination and incitement to racial hatred an offence against the law. This would, of course, put a ban on speeches or articles favoring discrimi- nation between races. But it would also limit freedom of speech. that people whose voiced opinions incite violence need to be silenced for the general good, for the keeping of the peace. But in a true democracy, the indi- vidual should be able to voice any sort of opinion without running the danger of being beaten by other citizens; if his opinions are libellous, seditious or obscene, there can be recourse to the courts. If we respect the principle of free speech, we will not use force to deny it to those whose opinions we abhor. When we force, we and not they become the violent inciters and participants. It could be argued use General Election Talk There is renewed talk in Ottawa about the possibilities of a federal general election this Fall. This country needs an autumn election the way it needs a billion-dollar deficit. It is being argued that Mr. Diefen- baker and his depleted Conservatives cannot provide strong government; they will be pulled this way and that by Opposition groups if they try to hold power by making deals with other parties they will be manouver- ing simply to stay in office and polish their record for election early next year. This is not necessarily so. This is not the first time that Canada has been governed by a party holding fewer seats in. the House of Com- mons than the combined opposition. The Liberals under Mackenzie King were in this precarious position for years, and managed to provide fairly good government on the whole. At this stage in its history, Can- ada does not need flashy government or steam-roller government. If needs, and must get, sound, careful and imaginative government.

We suspect that much of the noise about an election emanates from Social Credit sources. The Socreds evidently believe that they are riding a tide of public favor and they want to make the most of it before the ebb sets in. If they suspect that the ebb will start when Mr. Caouette and his raggle-taggle following of economic illiterates begin to expose their gen- eral nuttiness in the House of Com- mons, they are undoubtedly correct. But here in another excellent reason for the other three parties to settle down in Ottawa for at least a winter or responsible work in the Commons. Other Editors' Views HOW TO SUCCEED (London Free Press) This city's London and Port Stanley Railway may be a tiny line as rail- roads go, but this year it has done something that few of North Amer- ica's mammoth rail corporations 'can equal. It has actually earned a profit, being on the credit side of the ledger to the amount of $23,584 in the first five months of the year. This is five times the profit earned by the L. & P.S. in the same period of 1961. Of course the reason is obvious; the line has. done what most railroads would like to do if they could.

This not very glamorous min- istry was the footslogger among our government departments when Hon. George Hees was ap. pointed to it in October 1960. Even its show-window staff of trade commissioners stationed overseas ranked avery poor second in contrast to our velvet proto - collared diplomats. But Mr. Hees has inspired the whole department with excited enthu- siasm for his imaginative new drive to make the world "Buy Canadian". And trade commis- sioners from Djakarta to Detroit are forgetting the niceties of the embassy cocktail as they get another sort of kick from the unexpectedly successful task-of boosting Canadian exports. 4 STEPS TO SUCCESS "The boys are hopping now "we have got their striped pants off them,"' says one of the ex- port drive leaders in the minis- try here The hard sell of exports was initiated by Mr. Hees within 24 hours of his appointment as Trade Minister. Within eight weeks he was able to initiate the first positive step, opening Canada's first' export confer- ° Vast Natural Resources In Northern By HAROLD TILLEY Canadian Press Correspondent CANBERRA (CP)--Fresh as- sessments are being made in Australia of the vast neglected wealth known to be hidden be low ground and of the potentia! of development above ground right across the northern half of the country Though optimistic, official reckoning at federal level is cautious; state governments are enthusiastic but almost penni less and political party esti- mates and views on action vary according to the measure of present or likely responsibility for ensuring development. A fact-finding mission saw so much, was told so much and given so much fo read that at the end of the tour, according to the leader, the mission had become "staggered" by what could lie ahead The leader, a tician, Henry seemed to. him the whole of north Australia was iron ore with deposits running into "tens of thousands of millions of tons." Liberal poli- Bate, said it He advocated the setting up of a federal and state planning body "to safeguard mineral de- posits against foreign cartels picking the weakest seller. and reducing prices to an uneco nomic point." DEVELOPMENT BODY Later there should be a de velopment body for the: whole of north Australia Most of those who talk elo- quently about using the North appear to be agreed that gov. ernments must join hands with free enterprise to get develop. ment of proper magnitude and are equally agreed that federal and state governments and lo cal free enterprise have not available for diversion io the North anything like the kind of money needed for most effec tive exploitation There is nothing in the North that has not been there for mil hions of years.

The second stage was to en- large this impact through a of 12 provincial trade three in Ontario centres and one in every other province. Experts from our trade department and others versed in the capture of foreign defence contracts journeyed to these conferences to meet some 5,000 businessmen When our industrialists had been spurred by step one to covet the opportunities of the export market, and briefed in the particular opportunities by step two, Mr. Hees was ready to launch his third stage, Cana- dian Samples Shows, popularly dubbed "Fly - and - Buy Mis- sions" A HUMAN DYNAMO At the first of these held in Toronto this summer, 120 top buyers from United States re- tail outlets and store chains met 120 Canadian manufacturer's and examined their products. One manufacturer had to close his order book after selling his entire output for two years ahead, Another spoke for the group when he told me: 'This guy Hees is a dynamo--if any Canadian manufacturer does not go along with him, he is a damn fool." A similar success in Montreal led to other fly-and-buy mis- sions being planned: At Winni- peg in October for the three Prairie provinces, and at Van- ecouver in November for British Columbia manufacturers. But before then, Mr. Hees will launch his fourth stage in his drive to keep Canada ahead of her trading rivals. This will be an industrial expansion confer- ence held in Ottawa Sept. 7. It was planned as a meeting of a small group of Canada's top businessmen, {o hear and to dis- cuss the proposals of six indus- {rial leaders on means of achieving greater and more competitive Canadian produc- tion. But so many additional executives have heard of this, and asked to be invited, that the venue has already been changed from Parliament's huge Railway Committee Room to the much larger main ball- room in Ottawa's Chateau Lau- rier Hotel.. And now it seems probable that regional follow-up conferences will be held to cater to the swelling number among Canada's 37,000 indus- tries which want to stake claims on Canada's new-found export bonanza.

Shipyard Workers Gain Pay Boosts By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Britain's ship- yard owners have capitulated reluctantly to the demands of their employees for higher rates of pay. The increases granted represented a three per cent rise on the present basic rates. They are exactly in line with the concessions granted a week 'before to three million engineer- ing workers. They affect some 250,000 shipyard employees, who will receive pay increases ranging from 75 cents to 90 cents a week. Yet these small additions to the individual pay packets will cost the industry an additional $10,500,000 a year. The increases are a little more than allowable under the "guiding light" principle of the YOUR HEALTH 'Climatron' Used To Probe Asthma By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D A $125,000 contrivance called a '"'climatron" is being used at the University of Pennsylvania to try to find out what incites, or affects, asthma attacks. The machine is, in fact, a "climate control chamber' big enough to live in. Two teen-age girls recently spent a couple of weeks in it. Doctors can provide any kind of climate they choose: dry, moist, cool, warm; high or low barometric pressure; the flow of air; even the ionization of the atmosphere which appears to have distinct effects on peo- le MWe know a good deal about asthma, of course. Allergy is its basic cause, swelling the tissues and constricting the air passages for breathing. We have convincing evidence that emotional disturbances often trigger attacks but we don't know what physical con- nection exists. We just know this happens. We can ease many asthma cases by finding out the things to which the patient is allergic, and teaching him or her to avoid them. Some drugs ease attacks of wheezing. Dr. Eugene A. Hildreth, in charge of the "'climatron" work remarks that "some cases of asthma are simple to under- stand and manage. For ex- ample, a patient may be sensi- tive only to ragweed pollen, and we can give medication prior to the se¢ason to prevent or minimize the attacks. "For others, there is no such clearcut factor. Attacks can be triggered by almost anything, from laughing at a comedy scene on TV to sleeping from a hot room to the cold out- doors."" ' A "heavy" atmospheric day bothers some. Is this because of barometric pressure, or be- cause smog hangs more densely? A good many different kinds of patients, no doubt, must be tested before any patterns be- gin to emerge, but every scrap of information will add to our total ability to control asthma. It should be of interest to pa- tients to realize how much one case differs from another. I hope it will be of some com- fort and encouragement, too, for them to know that research continues steadily in many medical centres. Dear Dr. Molner: T have neur- itis in my legs.

E 728-1653 help a little, Is there any cure? Mrs. M.V. Neuritis comes from "neuro" meaning nerye, and "itis" meaning inflammation or dis- ease. Naturally there are different types. Shingles, being a virus infection of a nerve, is one form of neuritis. Bell's palsy, or paralysis of a facial nerve, is another, Sciatica, stemming from pressure on the sciatic nerve, sometimes from a dam- aged disc in the spine, is still another. Alcohol and certain chemicals can cause neuritis. Passing infections usually clear up by themselves, with the use of medication to help over the more painful period. If pressure is causing the pain, then the pressure must be re- lieved by correcting whatever has gone wrong. Dear Dr. Molner: Can a per- son have a borderline case of diabetes that would not. show up in the usual urinalysis? If so, how would it be discov- ered?--W.L,S. Yes, it can happen, usually in people over 50 in whom the urine may not show sugar, al- though the blood sugar is too high. In case of any suspicious sign, a blood sugar test is al- ways essential for positive de- termination of diabetes. If the result is doubtful--as can hap- pen--a "sugar tolerance test,' a series over a span of several hours during which glucose is administered, gives the answer. THRIFT government, put nave been made retroactive for only one week, ' MUCH MISGIVING These wage increases have not been granted without much misgiving on the part of the shipbuilding employers, who, at- the same time, rejected out- right a claim for reducing the working week from 42 to 40 hours. In rejecting the application for shorter hours, R. Cyril Thompson, 'president of the Shipbuilding Employers' Feder- ation, told the union leaders that any concession along these lines would inevitably increase the industry's costs. Detailing the "grim position" of the shipbuilding industry, Mr. Thompson said his mem- ber firms were convinced that the claim for higher wages was ill-timed, They felt that they had failed to get across to the unions the serious position in which the industry found itself. YARDS MAY CLOSE "It is certain," said Mr. Thompson, "that a number of _ shipyards throughout the world must go out of the shipbuild- ing business in the next few years. Unfortunately, there are bound to be some British yards among those which will have to give up new shipbuilding work. At the present time, work is being taken on at prices whic allow no profit, and in most cases do not cover establish- ment charges, a state of af- fairs which can only continue for a very limited period, "Already, a number of Brit- ish shipyards have no new work on hand. Others are work- ing on their last orders. In at least two cases, yards are building ships for which they have no order, in the hope that these can be sold to shipowners when they are finished. With freight charges continuing at a very low level, this is indeed an act of faith on the part of the shipbuilders concernec& and there can be no assurance that these ships can find a buyer. In- deed, in recent months, a Brit- ish shipowner sold' to foreign owners a ship which had been delivered to him in 1961." The increased wages granted will undoubtedly mean a rise in the cost of many components in the building of ships, making it more difficult than ever for British shipyards to compete with those in some other coun- tries. Based on the economics of the industry, there was no justification for the wage in- creases, but the shipbuilding employers felt they could not isolate themselves from the general wages pattern which had been developed in the engi- neering unions' settlement.
