-- She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1962 -- PAGE 6 a m 'Sons Of Freedom Should 'Give Work For Welfare -Reading about the march of the * Sons of Freedom Doukhobors towards ; the special prison near Agassiz (a 'march now stopped, and none. too soon, by municipal and provincial . action), puzzled Easterners have been 'wondering how these people could ' Jeave their homes, their jobs, their farms and spend days, perhaps weeks, " along roads. Well, it seems that the * Sons, unlike the orthodox Doukhobors, are a pretty shiftless lot. _ The Vancouver Sun reports that ' 1,400 of the 1,700 Sons of Freedom 'in British Columbia accept govern- * ment welfare payments each month. These are the people who believe thaf God and man are in constant com- munication, and therefore there is no néed for governments, which simply get in the way of union between God and man, They refuse to recognize government documents and flout gov- ernment laws, which are man-made. But they do not hesitate to sign for the welfare payments on government documents, to apply for and use gov- ernment car registrations and driving licences, and even to ask for govern- .ment transportation on their "pro- test" marches. Ontario municipalities are debating 'the proposition thats no person who accepts governments welfare pay- ments should refuse to accept work when it is offered to him. The propo- sition has enough pros and cons to warrant careful and thoughtful dis- cussion. But if there ever was a case where the principle of "no work, no pay" should be rigidly applied, it is that of the Sons of Freedom. These people have been a costly and dangerous nuisance, with their bombings, burnings and protests, ever since they settled in British Columbia, The government of that province would be justified in telling the Sons that they must work for their money -- work on government projects that would isolate them from the rest of the British Columbia community. Such action would at least ensure that their violent acts hurt no one but themselves. School Commandments Alberta's Premier Manning, speak- ing at the annual dinner of the Cana- dian Association of School Superin- tendents and Inspectors in Edmonton this week, outlined "a layman's 10 commandments" for professional edu- cationists. Here they are: Thou shalt teach my child to read, so that he will be able to find the worthwhile knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Thou shalt teach my child to analyze and compute, so that he will be able to arrive at satisfactory : 'conclusions. Thou shalt teach my child the secret of effective expression, | either by spoken or written word, allowing him to impart knowledge he has gained for the benefit of society. Thou shalt teach my child to appraise values, so that he will decide wisely each problem he faces in life. Thou shalt teach him to respect the rights and needs of others. Thou shalt teach him to respect work and enter- prise as virtues and not look down on those who work by their. hands and consider them beneath those who work with their brains. Thou shalt not destroy my child's belief in the More Space Since the free world depends so much on the United States for leadership in the cold war, anything that is done in the United States that affects that leadership concerns the free world. What the United States does with its resources is, of course, the business of the United States, but - because of its possible effect on the futures of other nations, it is a pro- per subject for general discussion. The U.S, space program, for example, 'is paid for by the American people, but its management can have a pro- | found influence on the course of ;events around the globe. That is why, doubtless, people in other countries have felt no inhibi- ; tions about commenting on the space race. The latest to take a critical look 'at the U.S. program is Prof. E. W. Titterton of the Australian National University, who points out that "many of the best scientists inside and out- side the United States consider the 'future program senseless and likely She Oshawa Sines T.

Thou shalt not teach him that this life and what it offers and contains is the end of all his existence and purpose of living. Thou shalt teach my child to assume responsibility and recognize his res- ponsibility to society for his decisions and actions. Thou shalt teach my child that time is a depleting asset, so that he will use his hours effec- tively. It is a formidable and comprehen- sive demand, but like most such collections inspired by the Biblical commandments, lacks the grand pre- cision of the Word as given to Moses, And commandments that are vague can only lead to confusion and trouble. What are values? What are veri- ties? What are satisfactory conclu- sions? Mr. Manning no doubt has them clearly defined in his own mind, but would his definitions agree with those of, say, the president of the University of Alberta? Possibly -- but if they should not agree,. there arises the question of which version should be communicated to the stu- dents. Questions to harm the United States in the long run." He gives two main reasons for this criticism. First, the main idea behind the program was to develop intercontinen- tal ballistic missiles which could be used to deliver nuclear warheads against any target in the world. These, rockets provide the capability of putting satellites into orbit: -- satellites that can be used for all sorts of purposes, including ~"sky-spying" and as nuclear carriers that can be brought down on to chosen targets. He asks: Does it make sense to talk about launching weapons from arti- ficial space platforms or from the moon in addition? And replies, "of course not." From the defence point of view therefore, the objective has already been largely achieved. The second reason for "worry about the United States space program is brainpower." There is far more money than there are good scientists to use it, and as a result the scientific staffs of industrial concerns are bought up to do the work -- to the detriment of the industry itself. Once industry ceases to innovate it is likely to stagnate and the U.S. could- quickly fall béhind Europe. Other Editors' Views SLEEPING ONE PREFERRED Stratford Beacon-Herald One of the nicest sounds is the prattle of a contented infant, one of our contemporaries believes. Better still is the sleeping infant. One can contemplate the blissful expression without having to answer awkward questions. YOUR HEALTH Tranquilizer Use Worrying Woman By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: There is so much controversy that I'd like your opinion on this: Will three tranquilizers a day hurt me? I have been taking (name of brand) for over a year. My doctor and oral surgeon say I have inflammation of the nerve of the tongue. I suffer badly from pain and burning, Tranquilizers make me com- fortable, but.I worry for fear I will become addicted to them or that they will produce other bad effects -- MRS. B. L. The particular franquilizer you are taking has been thoroughly investigated and I know of no ill effects from its prolonged use. Many people, however, seem to believe erroneously that "a tranquilizer is a tranquilizer, and that they can safely go ahead and take whatever kind they can lay hands on, and in whatever amount they choose, and for whatever "'reason they happen to think they need one. This idea can be harmful. With some users, there may be a chance of faint addiction, but this is not even to be considered in the sense of narcotics habit. The risk is more on the order of simply lapsing into the habit --not addiction--and becoming dependent on the tranquilizers in that. sense. Your case is quite different. You are taking a régulated dosage. You are under the care of physicians who are alert for signs that the drug happens to be unsuited to you. These days doctors have quite an assortment of tranquilizers which have quite specific ef- fects, and so they are able to select the one that fits the type of case in question. Yours is an example of a con- tinuing painful condition in which the pain is, not over- whelming, but does become a steady drag on your nerves and MORTGAGE FUNDS REQUIRED + $65,000 ++. in mortgages requir- ed.

Even when you aren't consciously thinking about the discomfort, you are automati- cally aware of it. The tranquilizer does - just about what its name implies: gives you an increased sense of ease. It lessens the attention you focus on the nagging pain. There is both a respite for your natural nerve tension and a re- lease from fatigue, because pain is decidedly tiring. These two releases from the consequences of the pain added together enter into an actual re- duction in the pain. A beneficial cycle, rather than vicious cycle, is established. You can discard your worries about the medication you are taking. Dear Dr. Molner: I have what appear to be corns on the bottom of my feet. How can I get rid of them?--MRS. D. S. Corns are the result of abnor- mal pressure. To get rid of them and stay rid of them re- 'moval of the pressure is neces- sary. Sometimes wide or longer shoes are the basic an- swer. Sometimes arch support is necessary. But in your case, a more important first question is whether these are corns, or are something e'se, such as plantar warts which form on the sole.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- The last tram-car (street car in Can- ada) in Scotland has made its final journey. It was the No. 9 tram from Auchenshuggle to Dalmuir, near Glasgow, Scot- land. And on hand to mark the occasion of the demise of tram- cars in this. country were some hundreds of members of the Tramway and Light Railway So- ciety, and the Tramway Mu- seum Society. Secretary. of the Tramway Museum Society, and a trustee of the Tramway and Light Railway Society, Geoffrey Claydon, of Kensington, led the' pilgrimage of members of these two bodies to see the tram car - make its last journey, Coach loads of tram-lovers came from all over Britain to Glasgow for the occasion. Some 60 members of the two societies had the privilege of havin: seats in the tram for its last journey, The less fortunate arrived in their buses to watch 'her final arrival at the Dalmuir depot in respectful silence. S LARGE MEMBERSHIP The Tramway and light Rail- way Society has 750 members, . while the Tramway Museum So- ciety boasts a membership of 350. The latter body devotes most of its activities to building a sort of rest home for old tram cars in Derbyshire. The Tram- way and Light Railway Society BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Maj.-Gen. J: H. McBrien offi- cially opened the 1927 Oshawa Fair, with thousands of chi!- dren marching in an opening parade. City Engineer Chester Smith announced the completion three miles of street paving for 1927, Rev. A. M. Irwin, Whitby minister, was elected the first president of the Oshawa Pres- bytery of the United Church of Canada and Rev. P. L. Jull of Brooklin, its first secretary. Union School No. 5, Thorn- ton's Corners, won the trophy for, the best marching in the Oshawa Fair Parade. Tenders were called by Ham- bly Brothers for construction of a modern artificial ice arena, costing in the neighborhood of $100,000. The Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada at the inaugural meeting pass- ed a resolution objecting to the opening of a liquor store in Oshawa. Splendid progress was being made towards completion of the new General Motors office building on William street. The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion appointed A. L.

He said: : "It started in 1948, when a few interested folks heard that Southampton Corporation had one or two choice specimens -- open-topped trams -- of which to dispose. We clubbed up and bought one for $30. Since then we have got many more mem- bers, paying three dollars 'a year. So we have bought another 26 old tram cars from British authorities who. were giving them up. We sent them on large trucks to a disused quarry at Crich, in Derbyshire, where we have the nucleus of our Tram- way Museum." ' Mr. Price said he first be came tram-conscious when he found it gave him the smoothest ride for home-work writing when he was a boy going to school at Croydon, in South London. He does not think his hobby, and that of the members of his so- ciety, is anything unusual. "T don't think," he said, 'that an interest in tram cars is any more eceentric than having vin- tage automobiles or railway en- gines as a hobby." And so he, too, was present at Dalmuir when the last tram came in from its final run from Auchenshuggle to remove com- pletely from the Scottish scene and Scottish life this type of transport which has served the people for well over 60 years. ke "makings" of a fine cigarette!
