| She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Need Stable Government Not Election Parliament assembles under the threat of dissolution -- not a happy atmosphere, and not one to encourage confidence in our political maturity, inside or outside of Canada. Liberal leader Lester Pearson last week announced his intention of in- troducing a motion of non-confidence as soon as Parliament met. He said: "T insist that-nothing should be done in this Parliament or by this Parlia- ment until the question of confidence has been settled in the proper consti- tutional way ... No plea of urgency and no excuse should be accepted by the elected representatives of the people for any further delay in setting the question as to whether or not the Diefenbaker government possesses the confidence . . . of a majority of the House of Commons." Thus does the Liberal leader show his naked hunger for power. He is willing to toss the country into all the turmoil and uncertainty of another election at a time when what is badly Campaign ampdaig needed is sound, stable government. At this time, the Opposition has a duty to push, pull and prod the minor- ity Diefenbaker administration, when it lags. into providing such govern- ment through what is expected to be a critical winter. Only in the event of the utter failure of Mr. Diefen- baker and colleagues to produce the long-range plans to replace the cur- rent emergency economic measures should the Opposition force an elec- tion. A much more statesmanlike posi- tion than Mr. Pearson's has been taken by the leader of the New Democratic party, Mr. Douglas, who has public recognized that wnat this country needs during the early. winter months at least is constructive leader- ship and legislation, not the hurly- burly of another election campaign. The position of the Social Credit party is, as usual, confused. The Liberals alone could not defeat the government. No Place For Mining Mines ministers of the 10 provinces met in Winnipeg a while ago and, while they agreed that national park areas should remain unspoiled, they thought it was possible to have a mine in a park without destroying its beauty and recreational value. It would depend, we suppose, on the size of the park. A mine in a remote corner of a huge wilderness area would scarcely be noticed. But if the ministers contend that a mine in the average park would be anything but a destructive eyesore, they either donot know their jobs or are being something less than frank. ~ There are three main kinds of metal mines in this country. One pro- duces metals like gold, silver and uranium; the oré is blasted out of underground tunnels, raised through _ shafts, crushed and treated with acid ee: the residue, known to as "slimes", is a thick liquid, carried in pipes to some area where #t can. be dumped, and there the heavy cyanide content kills all vege- tation. Then there are the basemetal mines, where ore is handled in much the same way as in the gold mines, except that it is refined in a smelter; and anyone who has visited such places as Sudbury, Rouyn and Wawa know what a smelter does to a countryside and how are the piles of slag that must be dumped some- where after the extraction of the metal. The third kind of mine is the open pit, the favored method of mining iron; a monstrous hole is torn in the earth and rock, a hole that goes deeper and wider with every ton of ore extracted. If the mines ministers honestly think that such operations do not destroy the beauty and recreational value of an area, then their vision is too narrow, too limited, too warped to justify their high positions in gov- ernment. They are looking at the matter strictly from the point of view of the mining interests, and thus dis- regarding the broad interests of the public. There may come a time when a shortage of metals or an urgent need for the development of resources may bring the mining interest. and the public interest together. But that time is not now. Quebec's Big Issue Premier Lesage of Quebec Tay decided to stake the future of his government on the- issue of public ownership of electric-power produc- tion and distribution in his province. He has called an election, with nationalization of power the "refer- endum question." In so doing, he is certainly taking ® much more honorable course than that pursued by British Columbia's Premier W. A. C. Bennett, who took over B. C. Electric in such an arrogant way that not only were the company's shareholderS' shocked and dismayed (and possibly out of pocket) but international financial circles were soured. At the same time, one can wonder about the importance that Mr. Lesage attaches to this issue. The privately owned hydro-electric power complex in Quebec produces about 25 per, cent of the electricity consumed by the province; it is a going concern, pro- viding (we understand) good service She Oshawa Times T.

There is another consideration, pointed out by the Ottawa Journal: "The principle of nationalization may be easily defended but nationalization at this stage, at the price of $600 million to be paid for the companies added to the provincial debt, has to be defended on more than principle. We agree with the Journal that "the Quebec taxpayer, conscious of both tax and power bills, and aware that the thousands of small shareholders in the power companies must have a square deal, deserves facts and figures in support of the Liberal gov- ernment case during the campaign." Mr. Lesage has provided Quebec with good government in the past couple of years. He 'found himself with a mess on his hands after the long term in office of the Union National, and set to work with energy to clean up'that mess. He has not called an election on the power issue just out of whim. His campaign ex- planations should be interesting. Other Editors' Views FREE ECONOMY (Kingston Whig-Standard) Businessmen are fond of crying that the free economy is being lost, but if they expect the Government to do all the work and underwrite the expense then inevitably they'll have something to cry about. YOUR HEALTH Wants To Remove Husband's Tattoo By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a tattoo that was put on my arm (my ex-husband's name) more than 20 years ago. How can I have it removed without a skin graft? I know I was foolish. I have. been advised to con- sult a dermatologist. Is that right?--L. M. Yes. Consult a dermatologist (skin. specialist) to determine whether your ex - husband's name can be obliterated by a process called "skin planing'"' or "dermabrasion," or by re- tattooing with flesh colors. If neither of these methods is suitable in your case, a skin graft may be the only recourse. Incidentally, a tattoo needle which has not been thoroughly REPORT FROM U.K. Residents Battle Housing Proposal By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa. Times CHRISTCHURCH, Hampshire -- Over 500 residents of the Christchurch area have banded together to fight against pro- posals which they claim would transform the eastern shore of Christchurch Harbor into "a miniature Manhattan". They ap- peared to make their protest at a public inquiry which was held: to hear objections to a re- development scheme which had received the approval of the Hampshire County Council. The planning department of the Hampshire County Council, at the request of the Christ- church Borough Council, drew up the redevelopment scheme to which the residents are object- ing. It provides that about 50 acres beside the harbor at Mu- deford and Stanpit would be re- developed during the next 20 years. The building of nearly 500 houses and flats is proposed in the scheme drawn up by the planning experts. INCREASE DENSITY Local residents are objecting to the great increase this would mean in the residential density in the area. At present it is nine persons to the acre. If the pro- posed scheme goes through in its entirety, this will be in- creased to 29.7 persons per acre. Shops, car parks, a waterfront walk, a yachting centre and a road which would run across the gardens of many of the exist- ing properties are among the amenities included in the plans. Hundreds of the local people are very angry at these propos- als. They claim that their dis- trict is threatened with the loss of its village character, and that one of the few unspoiled natural harbors in Britain will be "desecrated". They fear that the view, be loved by artists, of Christ- church's 12th century Priory Church would be seriously af- fected from the seaward side because blocks of apartments as high as five storeys would dwarf the grey stone tower of the church, They are also worried about the possible destruction of trees. VALUE DEPRECIATION Many of the objectors felt that the value of their properties would depreciate through the damage done to amenities. All were apprehensive that they would eventually be faced with expropriation orders, despite an assurance that nothing of this kind .was intended "at present'. About 500 of the villagers have banded together and formed the Mudeford. and Stanpit Resi- dents' Association to fight the scheme, They have had the ac- tive support of the Hampshire Federation of Ratepayers' Asso- ciation, the Council for the Pre- servation of Rural England, and the nearby Friar's Cliff Resi- dents Association. VISITORS HORRIFIED At Mudeford, noted for its as- sociation with Sir Walter Scott, who worked there on his poem "Marmion", Councillor William A. Bridge, Chairman of the Resi- dents' Association, said: "If the redevelopment, al- ready approved by the planning authorities, is allowed, it would be.a tragedy, not only from the point of view of the people who have their homes here, but from thousands of visitors. Holiday- makers who have heard of the scheme tell me they are horri- fied." The public inquiry, basically concerned with the periodical revision. of the Christchurch Town Map, was ordered by the minister of housing and local government. It lasted fov~ days, during which the Residents' As- sociation, with legal aid, put for- ward its objectiots.-The decision of the official who presided over the inquiry will be given later. sterilized can transmit disease from one person to another. Hepatitis is one of the dangers, syphilis is another. Dear Dr. Molner: I have lost my sense of taste, and every- thing I eat is the same. I have a thyroid condition and acute bronchitis and am taking a high content of potassium iodide for the cough. Could this be the reason?--M. D. B. Yes, large doses of iodides sometimes can cause loss of taste. "Taste" however is a subtle combination of factors. A restaurant man I know success- fully follows a rule of "feed the eyes first." It's literally true, he says, that things can "ook so good you can almost taste them." Aroma has a great deal to do with flavor. Your "sense of taste" is impaired if you have a hard cold. Either infection or polyps in the nose can have this effect. Less commonly, disorders of the nerves to the tongue can af- fect taste. Basically there are only four "tastes," sweet, sour, salty and bitter and sometimes a "'mteallic taste" is added. Dear Dr. Molner: What is your opinion on the following beliefs, so popular with older persons, with which I disagree: 1, That, 'ta good purgative should be taken every month or two to clean out the upper bowel." 2. That the same is recom- d d, for dizzi which they think means "liver trou- ble"--and for headaches, nau- sea, backache, etc. 3. That even diarrhea is sup- posed to be treated with a purg- ative beeause "it means the up- per bowel isn't cleaned out."-- R. E. P. No. 1 is, as you suspect, a complete fable; the others are odd mixtures of truth and false- hood. The human system de- cidedly does not need a purg- ative "just because." There has to be a good reason, Something has to be out of order. Dizziness certainly is not al- ways due to liver trouble. It can be from high blood pressure, low blood pressure, toxicity, and a variety of other causes, ° Harsh purgatives usually do more harm than good, and can be decidedly harmful or down- right dangerous at times. How- ever, a mild laxative is occa- sionally used in cases of gall bladder disease. Laxatives are prescribed for some kinds of diarrhea, but not "because the upper bowel needs cleaning." BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Ross Edward Mosley was ap- pointed to command 'Second Flight" of Oshawa Air Cadets Squadron 151. Householders living at Osh- awa-on-the-lake requested rural mail delivery service. R. B. Faith, secretary of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and South Ontario Agricultural Society, was tendered a compli- mentary dinner prior to his de- parture for Ottawa. The Oshawa Branch of St. John Ambulance Corps, which was augmented by members and officers of the Toronto Corps, paraded to St. George's Anglican Church for the annual service, T, W. Best, acting District Superintendent, Miss Winnifred Kydd, Lady Superin- tendent-in-Chief, Mrs. Gordon D. Conant, acting Lady District Superintendent and Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin inspected the Corps. Harry M. Black was appoint- ed secretary of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to suc- ceed R. B. Faith. Donald K. McDonald of Osh- awa had a fine natural history collection, having gathered sev- eral thousand specimens of dif- ferent kinds, including an inter- esting collection of eggs. Norman Hodgson, administra- tor of the Oshawa Salvage Board, resigned the position to become an Employment and Claims Officer at the Unemploy- ment Insurance Office here. Enrolment at: the OCVI total- led 987 pupils as compared with 1196 in 1941. The extended va- cation was due to the farm labor shortage. The Oshawa Kinsmen Club planned its annual Jamboree at the Oshawa Arena with Dr. R. E. Cox appointed chairman and Andrew Mowat and Wilfred Snell in charge of the booths. Rev, J. Douglas Patterson, of Mono East, was inducted into the pastorate of Christ Church to succeed Rev, W. R. Stringer who Ieft for his new charge at Selkirk, Yukon Territory. Oshawa merchants co-operat- ed in the government's new order-in-council by reducing the use of certain display lighting in an effort to save vital elec- tric power for war industry. OTTAWA REPORT Thinks Macmillan On Wrong Course -- By PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON, England--Visitors to Britain find it incredible that the voters and taxpayers of this country have been told so little about the New Europe into which their government plans to propel them willy-nilly, "We must join this big boom- ing new trading 'bloc to pre- serve our standard of living," their government tells them. - But many conversations here have shown me that 'they are WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING almost totally uninformed about how this proposed change will affect them. "Our food prices will go up," say some--correct. "We will be swamped by cheap foreign la- bor," say others -- incorrect. And those are the only ideas commonly mentioned here about the downhill slide for which Britain is poised at this greatest watershed in her 2,500 year recorded history. RULE BY SECRECY Housewives and businessmen, liftboys and lords, architects and Africans, ex-cabinet minis- ters and theatre-folk have all shown me their monumental and catastrophic ignorance OTTAWA CITIZEN: Criticism about what their government is of the present federal govern- "doing to them. ment at Ottawa is not confined to the opposition parties. Plenty of growling is to be heard from the government's own Tory sup- porters. Usually this is muted, but occasionally it bursts into the open with a gush of candor -- as when, in the course of the recent Stormont byelection cam- paign, the Conservative candi- date was reported in a friendly Toronto newspaper to have said that he was carrying the Prime Minister~on his back. How dif- ferent things are from the gold- en days of 1958 when many a Tory was borne to Ottawa on the same Prime Minister's coat- tails. KITCHENER - WATERLOO RECORD: Pigs are ideal ani- mals for language study, claim researchers at Australia's Queensland University. They have tape-recorded a vocabulary of grunts, snorts and squeals and classified them to the point where they can figure out pretty well what the ground- level patter is all about. "Words" readily identifiable include signals for '"'where are you?" "I'm here." "Help me." "Look out!" Researchers found that the sound most used by pigs is one expressing satisfaction with their "togetherness". This basic grunt is continuous as_ they move about the pen in bodily contact. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Almost everything is mixed up these days. Item: A motion pic- ture theatre marquee reading, "Black Tights -- In Techni- color". Some organizations are too strict in enforcing bylaws, a re- cent. glaring example being the expulsion of a girl from a nudist colony because she wore ear bobs. "The trouble is," one political elder told me, "Prime Minister Maemillan spéaks with four voices, all different 'and none the whole truth." The Europeans, the Common- wealth, parliament and his party supporters -- "the old ladies out in the constituencies" --all hear different arguments. But, meanwhile, he is accused of bending the knee to Germany and France while receiving no compensating concessions. "He has discarded his last ace and that has botched up the whole thing," one of leagues confessed ru me, : Yet his four versions have none of them revealed to Brit- ons just what his proposal will involve. Britons have been stun- ned when I have suggested to them that the face of their "te b Queen would ultimately disap- pear from their coins and their stamps when the new universal European currency replaces their archaic guineas and their cumbersome pennies; that the visits of Canadians will be regu- lated while "foreigners" will be able to enter to take jobs; that the Queen's commission for of- ficers British passporfts, British ambassadors will all. disappear. In fact, if Macmillan has Ls obstinate ill-considered way, no Briton living today will be able to boast the proud determina- tion voiced by our own first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald: "A British subject I was born, a British subject I shall die." : UNION A CERTAINTY True, Macmillan plans to enter economic union with Eur- ope; but*Europe's intent, and the inescapable development, is the creation of a true and in- dissoluble federation: Where does that leave Can- ada? A member of a Common- wealth whose members lack trade preference, whose mother- land is a mere off-shore prov- ince of Europe, and whose head has been humbled in status to that of something like a heredi- tary lady mayoress? GALLUP POLL Parents Do Not Think TV's Effects Harmful By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion Do average parents agree with the critics who bemoan the harmful effect TV has on the nation's children? Response to a question put to parents across the province shows that they do not. In fact it's a two- to-one vote in favor of TV -- with 36° per cent of those with children saying its effect has been more good than poor, and 19 .per cent claiming this is untrue. Belief that TV is fot as harmful for children as many people claim, is held very strongly among younger fami- lies» Among those in their thir- ties for instance, the years most likely to find young. chii- dren in the home, approval Tises to 45 per cent. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll sent to scientifically select. ed homes in a national cross- section across the provinces asked: "In general would you say that television has been more QUEEN'S PARK Northern Junket Much Too Rugged BY DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- It pays to be premier! While the members' northern tour was on Premier Robarts made a quick trip back to home base here for a day. He was asked how he was making out. And particularly how he had made out on the bath tub problem. "Oh fine," he said, "You know I have taken these mem- bers' trips before. And I know what they are. "I made sure that this time there would be a chance to get cleaned up. We arranged that at our stops there would be two or three motel rooms so that the members could have a bath." The premier looked clean and there was no noticeably strong odor from him at the: moment so presumably he managed to make the motel rooms fairly regularly. Others on the party, however, reported less success, In fact, one member said that in the latter part of the trip he went to his porter and said: "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." As you may gather the tired members at the end of the tour were not exactly ecstatic. They, of course, were im. pressed with what they saw and the wonderful northern hospital- ity. But this type of a junket is just too rugged--as your cor- respondent found out years ago. It is safe to say that in future any members' trips are not likely to last more than four or five days. YAREMKO TESTIMONY? The consensus here is that the « provincial secretary, Hon. John Yaremko, didn't improve the government's public "image" in his appearance before the Roach crime inquiry. : First of all Mr. Yaremko evi- dently didn't make the commis- sioner too happy by bringing in his massive printed presenta- tion. Mr. Justice W. D. Roach ap. parently thought he might have to read it all, for one thing. And then the fact that the provincial secretary tried -to make it appear (or seemed to try to make it appear) that there hadn't been any gambling in chartered clubs, in the end made his case look bad to the 'public -- for even five-year-old boys know there has been gambling in chartered clubs. Actually, Mr. Yaremko might have been smarter to admit that under present laws it is practic- ally impossible to control chart- ered clubs which want to do bus- iness as gathbling dens. The laws are drafted to pro- tect legitimate operations rather than to contrc' illegitimate ones and should be tightened up--as everyone around here knows. of a good influence on your own children or more of @ poor influence."
