| | She Oshawa Cimnes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1962 ---- PAGE 6 Parliament's Pattern Set In Initial Week The developments of the past week in Parliament revealed the probable pattern of political manoeuvering for the winter. The government will prob- ably stagger through until at least late winter or early spring. The chance of a dissolution of Parliament before April seems remote. The developments were hot entirely unexpécted. Neither the Social Cre- ditéers nor the New Democrats had showed any eagerness to topple the government quickly and force a pre- Christmas election. And for all of Mr. Pearson's fulminating his elected followers did not relish the thought of another campaign this year; they would like to draw a few pay cheques and rebuild their finances as well as their energy before going through the election wringer again. According to the polls, the drift of public opinion towards the Liberals-- it could scarcely be called a swing -- has continued since the June election. This may have influenced Mr. Pear- son to make his demand for imme~ diate defeat of the Conservative gov- ernment, but there is no telling what the public reaction might have been had Mr. Pearson had his way. If the reaction had been indifferent, the election could well have resulted in an even more confusing situation at Ot- tawa; if Mr. Pearson's move had irritated the public -- a strong possi- bility -- the Liberals might well have lost some of their support, which pos- sibly could have gone to the New Democrats. That it all in the realm: of "if", of course. Now come the weeks and months of debate and, we hope, sound legislation. There is certainly plenty to do, and the opposition parties can help the government do it, if they can forget their petty feuds for a while. The first few days of the new Parliament, however, do not provide any reassuring evidence that any large number of the parliamentarians will act like anything but small-time politicians. The debate so far has been full of bad temper on'both sides of the House. The country expects something better, but whether we get it is something else. Strength And Weakness One of the most amazing sequels to World War II was the speed with which the stricken countries cleaned up the debris left by bombs, shells, rockets and bullets: The heart of Amsterdam was destroyed; a cruel wound was inflicted on Coventry ; city after city in Germany was left in smoking ruins; Warsaw was gutted; fire bombs left a huge part of Tokyo in cinders; Stalingrad was gutted. Now most of the terrible wounds have been healed, and in many cities even the scars don't show. The Poles, for example, have rebuilt Warsaw, paintfully restoring the churches, the palaces, the medieval houses. Coventry once again has its cathedral. West Berlin is a show- place. There is no longer a Stalingrad, since Stalin is now a dirty word, but where a great German army bled to death is now a rebuilt city called Volgograd, with a population about equal to that of greater Winnipeg. It was visited recently by Vermont Royster, a U.S. newspaper editor. "Today," writes Mr. Royster, "the name of Stalingrad has been wiped off the map as punishment for its namesake. Instead there stands Volgo- grad, a brand new city of half a mil- lion people spread out along the beautiful and busy Volga river. But once more the city can serve as a symbol, for there a visitor can see at a glance much of the weakness and strengths of the Soviet system. "The strength lies in the people. In the files of the local newspaper are pictures of the city devastated, of the people living in tents through the cold winters, of old women and young boys cleaning up the rubble by hand and carrying on their shoulders the brick and mortar for the new city. And the new city is indeed lovely to look at... "But the construction work is of the same government-issue shod- diness found all over this country. Soviet builders have a positive genius for building a brand-new building and having it look old and worn before the people can move into it. Often withim a year a new apartment will have the plaster falling off, the in- terior wall separating from the ceil- ings, and the window frames work- ing loose to let in the winter winds... "Moreover, and this is perhaps more important, the shoddy work done in haste creates fantastic main- tenance problems and guarantees new replacement problems for the future. None of this discredits the people, -their will or their drive. Stalingrad was ashes; Volgograd is a city--that is an achievement to salute. Yet it was no less an achivement to rebuild Hiro- shima or Coventry or Hamburg. And the difference in both the extent and quality of the rebuilding in the war- torn West marks a dramatic differ- ence between the two systems of organizing human effort." Chinese Admit Trouble In its "great leap forward" Com- munist China has fallen flat on its fate. Industry, which was to have been quickly expanded to make China one of the production giants of the world, is in a sorry state. To survive, China must concentrate on agriculture --and industrial development must come slowly. This from the Chinese themselves, not from outside critics. The case is stated in Hung Chi, the authoritative publication of the central committee of the Chinese Communist party. Those who said that the nation could industrialize overnight are wrong, said Hung Chi. It added this bit, which would have been treason She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C. GWYN.

Hung Chi proposed a most. un- Marxian system under which rewards would be used to increase the produc- tivity of workers -- with penalties for those who lagged. Factories were told to cut their work force and avoid innovations in production. They were warned that shortages of raw mater- ials will continue to curb output. This was all foretold in the last year when some 20,000,000 urban workers were moved to rural areas as farmers and the government admit- ted, that food production was inade- quate, the Milwaukee Journal points out. Red China's "leap forward" theory was discounted evén by Russian econ- omists. Russia's will to help has slack- ed off, too. Trade between the two countries dropped 50% last year and China had to pay the Soviet Union $180,000,000 more for goods it needed than the Russians bought from China. At the same time the Russians have sharply cut back their technical assis- tance. No one will take comfort from the fact that any group of human beings in the world lacks food. But the Chinese have proved again that com- munism is not the effective economic system that the free world system is. YOUR HEALTH Ignorant People Can Hurt Patients By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: We are a groun of women in a TB sana- torium who would greatly ap- preciate a column concerning "cured"? tuberculosis patients, as to activities and sociaiizing with people when they resume "their normal lives There are people who are ig- norant of the facts, and a few actually embarrass and insu't ex-patients through their ignor- ance. Perhaps a few words from you would enlighten many who are not aware, or are un- willing to admit that we are perfectly safe. -- M. B, AND OTHERS Sometimes members of the medica! and public health pro- fessions get downright discour- aged. People on occasion have the darnedest knack of being stricken deaf if they aren't in- terested. As when polio vaccine first was: available, but people ignored it by the millions--until the outbreak of 1958. Then they scrambled. for it! It's the same with TB educa- tion. People are deaf to wha: we say until suddenly they have some personal interest in it Maybe your very true remark about ex-patients being embar- rassed and insulted may make a dent, because people who don't inderstand TB can, in- deed, be insulting without really meaning to be. The truth is that an ex-TB pa- tient is safer to be with, than the average person we meet. For among the average, some percentage of people are bound to be carrying TB that has not yet been recognized The ex-TB patient, however, not only has been taught how to. prevent the spread of TB (covering a cough, etc.) but does not become an "ex-pa- tient' until safe Only an "'active case'. can spread the disease--when the lung tissue is loaded with TB germs which work their way in- to the sputum and finally are sprayed around by coughing. There are these five steps in making sure that a patient no longer is harboring active germs 1. Daily sputum examinal'ons under a microscope. When none is ivsible, the sputum is cul- tured to see whether germs still lurk and can multiply. (Animal inoculations sometimes may be added.) 2. Then pooled sputun is tested; that is, tests on sputum collected over, say, 24-hour period. 3. Gastric lavage, or washing, to test whether the germs are in the stomach. Decline Of Civilization Keyed To Water Misuse EDMONTON (CP)--Through- out history the decline and fall of countries have gone hand in hand with the misuse of water, says R. E. Bailey, chief engi- neer of the water resources branch of the Alberta agricul- ture department. History shows that 'whenever the water supply failed, the civilization declined, he says. Some even vanished Water is the most valuable of any country's natural resources and Alberta's water resources branch is making an a'l-out ef- fort to ensure that the prov- ince's well never runs dry. The branch, which has a year-round force of 100 employ- ees and 160 employees. during the peak summer -Months, is working to control every aspect of water resources, both sur- face and. underground, within the province Many: believe there is an abundance of water but conser vation experts are convinced water conservation is a national problem that is of graver im- port than the depletion of any other natural resource such as oi], minerals or timber. SHORTAGES AT TIMES "There is no doubt,' Mr. Bailey said, '"'we are working to the point where the demand for water will exceed the sup- ply during certain times of the year. That point is inevitable We must be prepared "' Alberta experts are not com- pletely happy about water re- sources plans in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The headwaters of many Western Canada rivers are in Alberta Mr. Bailey commented "We do not want to take a dog-in-the manager attitude. We must share interprovincial waters. There is no question about this. Bul it must be on an equitable basis and in accordance with preferential use. We have no intention o/ jeopardizing the future needs of the people of Alberta or the fu ture development of Alberta, in erder to satisfy excessive, downstream, de- mands." Problems of major concern to the Prairie provinces come un- der the study of the Prairie Water Board which is composed of representatives of the water resources divisions of the Man- itoba, Saskatchewan and Al berta governments. However, the board can make only rec- ommendations: Some idea of the ever-growing water problem can be gained from a few statistics. It takes 65,000 gallons of water to pro- duce a ton of steel, 7,000 to market a barrel of oil, 160 gal- lons to produce one pound of aluminum, 30,000 gallons to pro. duce a ton of pulp and. 1,000 gallons to produce a pound of food GALLUP POLL hydro-power 4. Meantime X - rays must show no sign of active infection 5. Then, as a final safety measure, discharged patients continue drug treatment six months or more to make sure the germs cannot return. That's why an ex-patient is so thoroughly safe (Average treatment of a pa- tient is now about 10 months in a sanatorium, as against two to five years in the early 30's be- fore we had suitable drugs and were not yet able to do the sur- gery now. being done in TB cases. Many used to die; today few do unless they are aged or otherwise infirm, or the case has been neglected for a long time.) New Radiation Probe By Russ MOSCOW (AP) -- The Rus- Sians are: stepping up the pace of their research 'on the poten- tial hazards of all kinds of radi- ation. A brand new institute, to be devoted to studies of medical radiology, is nearing comple- tion at Obninsk in the Kaluga region, about 60 miles from the Kremlin. Some reseaich already is un- der way there in buildings com- pleted during the past six months Its stated-purpose is to study: The biological effect of ionizing radiation; the potentially poi- sonous effect of radioactive sub- stances if present in the body in sufficient quantities; possible means of protecting humans and animals. against radiation of all types; and ways and means of using radioactive iso- topes and other radiation sources--high-energy sources in particular -- for the- diagnosis and treatment of various dis- eases. An official of the Academy of Medical Sciences says the pro- gram includes studies of fall-out effects. The Russians have developed a number of devices for admin- istering radioactive isotopes in medical diagnosis and treat- ment. One of them is a special pistol for shooting tiny grains of radio- active gold into cancerous tis- sue. The pistol has a detachable aluminum magazine which can be filled with grains of the ray- emitting gold and kept in pro- tective storage until it's time to treat a patient. Attached to the magazine is a long hollow needle through which-the gold can be shot into the tissue by pressing the pis- tol's trigger. : Big Majority Of Voters Expect Early Election (World Copyright Reserved) By The Caradian Institute of Public Opinion The vast majority of eligible voters look for another Federal election, at the latest, by the end of 1963.

The Conservative government replies: "Just before June 24, the date on which Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker announced the corrective austerity measures." The Liberal opposition contra. dicts with: "During the election campaign" and its leader Les- ter Pearson charges that the crisis was concealed from the electors until after polling day "by what can only be termed a major political fraud." That is a very serious alléega- tion. All Canadians urgently seek the truth: To know whether Mr. Diefenbaker inflicted a fraud upon them, or whether Mr Pearson inflicted a smear on the prime minister. In fact neither man is entirely correct, The facts show that Mr. Diefenbaker is "not guilty' of Mr. Pearson's charge; yet he has failed to pin the blame where it basically lies, which is on those pos'-war years of Lib- ¢ral extravagance. ITS A WORLD PROBLEM Nearly all Western countriés, not excluding the United States, have suffered foreign exchange problems, ranging from diffi- culty to crisis, since the war. Actually we in Canada had our first in 1947, when severe auster- ityrestrictions temporar- ily cured the symptoms but left the causes uncorrected. We have had further crises every single year since 1953, brought about by our extravagant ex- cess purchases of foreign goods. But our consequent desperate shortage of foreign. currency was solved for us apparently painlessly -- yet thus all the more damagingly -- by foreign- ers paying us cash to buy great swaths of Canadian land and its riches in every year. Last year foreign capital be- gan to seek investment in boom- ing Europe rather than in Can- ada, and this switch began to bare our crisis. In November, 1961, the outflow of money be- gan to exceed the inflow. To bal. ance our foreign exchange defi- ciency, in that month and in each succeeding month, we had to sell some of our reserves of gold and U.S. dollars--in vary- ing amounts which were not alarming individually, but cu- mulatively they became 50. QUEEN'S PARK Last November, this diminu- tion of our foreign exchange re- serves was $32,000,000; in De- cember it was $23,000,000. In the first five months of 1962, it was respectively $134, $175, $37, $115 and $102 million: All this was reported month by month by the Bank of Can- ada. There was no concealment Mr- Diefenbaker last week told the House of Commons the details of June transactions. when speculators aggravated the outflow of money. In the first 14 days, this outflow rose to $128 million, Then came the deluge. In the week from June 15-22, the total soared to $270,- 000,000, Two days later, on June 4, Mr. Diefenbaker announced the emergency curbs, Thus, (i- nancial markets being closed on Saturdays and Sundays, the avalanche covered Election day, June 18, and the four subs>- quent days. CORRECTIVES WORK Then the trend turned, As- sisted by the austerity curbs. our reserves rose by $206,000.000 in July; and by an even more welcome $216,000,000 in Augus! These figures support Mr. Dief- enbaker's statement to Cana- dians on June 24: "The uncer- tainty and instability in the fi- nancial markets has intensified in the last few days to a puint requiring immediate emergent action." The Bank of Canada's discins- ure of these reserve transac- tions in the week prior to that statement now .make it abun- dantly clear that the prime min- ister did not, despite Mr. Pear- son's charge, inflict any fraud of concealment upon the Cana- dian people during the election campaign. Further, we can draw our own conclusions from the revelation by that impartial recorder ofinternational finance, the Wall Street Journal, that our dollar was subjected this summer to perhaps the most massive speculative raid ever suffered by any nation's currency, and that "Canadians themselves, rather than foreign speculators, were responsible for most of the pressure on the Canadian dollar." Thus it was the week immediately following the election campaign which saw the final crisis erupt from a situation which had been pro- gressively building up for 15 years. FISHERMEN Canada's fisheries directly support the families of some $0,000 fishermen, while thou- sands of others benefit in- directly. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn addressed a large gathering of electors at the Oshawa Armories. Malcolm vane Oshawa art- ist, was mentioned in an arti- cle of a magazine, by G. Camp- bell McInnes, noted Canadian art critic, who reviewed the art exhibit at the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition. Customs receipts at the Port of Oshawa showed an increase in September over August of $14,583. September figure was $366,458.25 W.H., Karn was elected to the executive of the: Ontario Retail Druggists' Association at a con- vention meeting of the organiza- tion.

By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--If you work for Eaton's don't tell Simpson's but you can now sell direct by phone to James Bay. Or if you have an. Eskimo aunt she can now call you. A release from the Hon. Rob- ert Macaulay starts off: "Persons at many distant points along the shores of James Bay and Hudson Bay will soon be able to place long- distance calls to all parts of the world." Come, come Mr. Macaulay, we know YOU like to telephone, BUT... 6: "This service, for such a re- mote area, is indeed remark- able for the people there". . .? How many remarkable people are there and how many of them have the remarkable amount of money needed to use it? Phone your press agent Rob- ert and order him to Moosonee to coo! off. TOO MUCH: An overdone press release tastes even worse than an over- done egg. And you can't really realize this until you sit at a news desk here--or on any news- paper. A cynic feels that a publicity man must. rate his value ac- cording to the size of his mail- ing list. However unfair this is--and it can be, publicity men can and do serve a useful purpose-- there is one quite justified com- plaint. This is verbosity, over-indul- gence or, one might say, laying on the jam too thick. Fad runs into much too much of it, AKLAVIK, YES In this case telephone service to James Bay unquestionably is quite a worthy achievement In years to come it shuuld Prove of great value. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 10, 1962... Chinese troops mutinied in Wuchang 51 years ago to- day--in 1911--regarded as the foimal beginning of the revolution that was to topple the weak Manchu dynasty and create the Republic of China. By winter, 14. prov- inces had rejected the Man- chus. Sun Yat - sen was elected president, 1865--The Quebec Confer- ence on Confedration of British North Am rica opened. 1935--Assembly of League of Nations decides to apply sanctions against Italy for invasion of Ethiopia. There is a possibility it might even be now. But why not tell us these things--even if it has to be only of the years to come and you justify the expenditure on a long-term basis. One really can't picture a horde of people at "many dis- tant points along the shore of Hudson Bay" picking up the phone to put in a quick call to Paris. Aklavik, yes. 'To all parts of the world", no. You, Mr. Macaulay are doing quite big things today. Don't spoil them with lard. And now hang up 'on that In- dian chief--do they have phones in their cars up there too? --and get back to work. Rt. Rev. A. L.
