" Russia. Ceylon won freedom She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1962 -- PAGE 6 British Score Points In Colonial Argument The Russians probably wish that the General Assembly of the United Nations would quit talking about its 1960 declaration which called for quick independence for colonial countries. The Communists helped the newly-emerged members of the UN rush through the declaration, but since then British delegates in particular have been making effect- ive use of it to demonstrate the great and growing difference between the colonial attitudes and practices of the West and the Soviet Union. Sir Patrick Dean, the British delegate, pointed out that in 1815 Ceylon came 'under British control and Azerbaijan was taken over by in 1947. How about Azerbaijan? Ghana and Nigeria were taken over by Britain in the 19th century when Russia was seizing indepen- dent states of central Asia -- the last independnt Kazakh state fell in 1854, the three Uzbek states of Turkestan were taken over by 1876, and Turkmen was annexed in the 1880's. Russia seized Tannu Tuva in Outer Mongolia three years be- fore Britain took over Cyprus. Ghana, Nigeria and Cyprus have been freed -- how about the areas Russia seized? British occupied territories after World War I went under League of Nations and the United Nations trusteeships. The last of them, Tan- ganyika, became independent last year. The Soviet Union during and since World War II took over many areas, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Kuriles, South Sak- halin. How about putting them under United Nations trusteeships and preparing them for freedom under the UN declaration on colo- nialism? Such talk isn't going to free any lands or peoples,says the Milwaukee Journal, but it should bring home to the newly independent areas that complain so about colonialism that the world's biggest colonialism is the Soviet Union. Caouette Doubletalk The Ottawa grapevine has it that Real Caouette is now in trouble with his own Social Credit followers in Quebec. Considering the show of verbal gymnastics he has been put- ting on in and out of the House of Commons, restiveness on the part of other Social Credit members would not be surprising. He is suc- ceeding admirably in making them all look like mountebanks. Last week the House paid tribute to Sir Winston Churchill on the occasion of that great man's 88th birthday. Mr. Caouette made an eloquent tribute, in the course of which he described Sir Winston as a symbol of honesty, courage and work, who gave of his best as a tireless leader in the fight against totalitarians like Hitler and Musso- lini. But Mr. Caouette not so long ago listed Hitler and Mussolini among his heroes. Then there was Mr. Caouette's comment on the Quebec election. He was quoted as saying that by taking one gallon out of every 11 pumped by private oil companies, Alberta had completely freed itself of debt, and that instead of nationalizing private power companies Quebec "should have asked Shawinigan for 10 per cent of the kilowatts it pro- duces." Alberta, of course, is not free of debt. At the end of the last fiscal year it had a net direct funded debt of 22.1 million and an_ indirect funded debt of $234.8 million. The figures show that the province is in a very good financial situation -- but there is still debt. There are some differences, too, between oil and hydro-electric power. Oil exploration is a gamble, and properly conducted by private companies. Once found, it becomes an exhaustible resource -- and prop- erly taxable. Alberta was able to put itself in a sound financial posi- tion because of the revenue it ob- tained from oil taxation, which it ~ handled in orthodox, conservative fashion -- and certainly not accord- ing to the weird Social Credit doc- trine. Hydro-electric power is not a gamble, and it is not an exhaustible resource -- and when government owned, not taxable. Municipal Act Faulty | What a sorry commentary on the state of civic affairs when there is so much talk of the need for a code of ethics for municipal councils, the Sudbury Starr exclaims. The out- break of municipal "scandals" in Ontario has given impetus to public opinion favoring legislative action, the Star argues: The fault lies in The Municipal Act, a toothless piece of legislation insofar as municipal councils are concerned. It fails to spell out the guilt and steers away from punish- ment. The Municipal Act has a wide open door to tempt municipal coun- cillors to engage in many things from which they can derive direct personal benefit. If they get caught, what happens? A ratepayer must take action. And the punishment is unlikely to be more than disquali- fication from office. She Oshawa Fimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Courts normally take a very serious view of breaches of - trust by persons in positions of trust. But The Municipal Act does not seem to regard municipal coun- cillors as persons in position of trust. Otherwise there would be severe penalties written into the Act and prosecutions would be insti- tuted by Crown agencies rather than ratepayers. There is a fanciful belief that if the law is "tough" it will discourage persons from seeking \municipal office. The truth is that persons who seek municipal office in the spirit of service to the community, rather than what they can get out of it as an office-holder, don't care how "tough" the law might be. Nor are they likely to be frightened away by a code of ethics. Ontario might have escaped most of the municipal scandals if council members were aware of jail terms or heavy fines for breaches of trust. As long as The Municipal Act stays in its present form there will be those who are tempted to gain per- sonal benefit from municipal office. A code of ethics for municipal coun- cils is more than desirable -- it is essential. Bible Thought Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to thee. -- James 4:8. God does not force Himself on us.

MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Old Bailey, London's famous criminal court, is due for an impressive expansion. This will be one of the results of the re-organiza- tion of the Greater London area, now before parliament in a go- vernment bill. When that legis- lation comes into effect, the Old Bailey will become the assize court for the whole of Greater London. At present, it covers only the area under the juris- diction of the London County Council. After the change it will serve an area of double that size. In preparation for that time, the City Corporation Lands Committee has prepared a plan for a major extension of the Old. Bailey buildings, and has recommended to the Common Council that it embark at once on this large project. COST $11 MILLION The plan recommended by the City Corporation Lands Commit- tee envisages a scheme to cost in the neighborhood of $11 mil- lion, It will extend the existing buildings so that four more courtrooms and other accom- modations can be provided. This project, if carried out as plan- ned, will add two and half per cent to the city's tax rate for a YOUR HEALTH Regular Habits And Bland Food By J. G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have di- verticulitis and have a hard time with constipation. I take miik uv! magnesia every night, eat bland food and drink a lot of ilk. Do you have a special diet? I have beén told not to have an operation.--T. P. Diverticulitis, much more common than people yet real- ize, warrants surgery only if there are severe complications, such as obstruction, bleeding or perforation. The ailment primarily is an out-pouching of the intestine, or "diverticulum." If inflamed it becomes diverticulities, Sticking to a bland diet, as you are doing, thus avoiding fibrous or rough foodstuffs which could further irritate the diverticulum, is the right thing to do. You don't need any rigid or special diet. The constipation is another matter, however, and if you report this to your doctor, he can help you. Use of a preparation contain- ing sodium diocty-sulfosucci- nate, and there are now quite a few of them, is beneficial. Another way is to take bulk producers, of which agar is one. Prune juice is a good natural laxative. Remember that constipation often can be corrected by get- ting into the habit of bowel ac- tion at some regular time each day.. Rectal suppositories can aid in getting this time-habit established. Dear Dr. Molner: I just read where the new birth control pills mean that women now can become pregnant in the 50's or even as old as 60. Can't this be nrevented?--MRS, W. E. I read the same reports, very carefully, and didn't interpret them the way you did. If you'll look again, you will see that the doctor who reported this said it "might" happen. it also might not. and I'm not going to try to guess which will turn out to be correct. A Canadian doctor made the remark in, connection with a. study of the way the ovaries perform their function and he suggested that medications for suppression of ovulation might permit the ovaries to maintain their potential for a longer time. His approach is reasonable, and it offers a useful subject to study, but it willl take at least some years to determine what is going to happen. Dear Dr. Molner: My son, 13, developed severe pain in his knees last March. X-rays showed Osgood Slatters disease. The doctor suggested we im- mobilize him as much as pos- sible and wrap his legs in wide elastic bandages. He has been checked three times since then, twice without removing the bandages. Lately I notice bruises. and swelling around the knees. I keep him as quiet as I can but am wor- nied and would appreciate any further information about treat- ment, Is there a specialist for this type of disease?-- MRS. McG This isn't a very common problem, but it scares the day- lights out of parents, and I get a great many inquiries about it since it is a "new" disease each time a family encounters it. Rest and waiting are the only known treatments--and the only necessary ones. With this care, the condition will ultimately correct itself, The specialist for this sort of ailment would be an orthopedist, but you'll find that he will give you the same advice that your doctor already has given you. NOTE TO MR, F, H.: No, these "floaters" or little black spots in the eyes are not "fore- runners of catamacts." In fact, in the great majority of cases period of 60 years, The first step necessary will be to seek powers to go ahead with the project at the present session of parliament. Little. difficulty is expected with this, providing time can be found during the parliamentary session to take care of this legislation. Two major reasons are given for the urgency of the extension plans. First is the fact that London's increase in crime. has stepped up the work of the Cen- tral Criminal Court by some 10 per cent since 1949. There were' 573 "Judge - days" in 1952 com- pard with 1203 "Judge - days" in 1961, The second is that the govern- ment's plan to extend the jur- isdiction of the Old Bailey to cover the whole of the proposed new Greater London area will increase the present area by more than half. A bill for this purpose is to be brought before parliament by the Home Secre- tary as part of the London area reorganization scheme, PROPERTY NEEDED The large extension to the ex- isting building, which was erect- ed early in the present century, is planned to go southward along Old Bailey. It involves the de- molition of some considerable properties on the street includ- ing Amen House. The cost of buying land and property alone is estimated at just. over $4,000,000. Another $300,000 will be required for fit- tings and furnishings. The new building will bring the number of courts up from six to 10. It will also include a Lord Mayor's suite, a central kitchen serving a public restaur- ant, a jurors' dining-room, bar mess, police canteen and staff dining-room. It is estimated that the work will take anything up to. five years, as the city corporation is not expected to be in a position to acquire all the land before 1964-1965, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 4, 1962... President Woodrow Wil- son became the first Uniited States president to leave the country while in office when he sailed for the Versailles peace conference 44 years ago today--in 1918.

BOTTLED IN BOND menos ne uae es ene OTTAWA REPORT 'Diefenbaker Nears 2,000th Day As PM By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Next Sunday, Dec. 9, will be a significant date in Canada's political history. On that day, our 13th prime. min- ister will mark his 2,000th day in that highest office in our gov- ernment. While John Diefenbaker is our 13th Prime Minister, his gov- ernment is our 18th Ministry, because Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Robert Borden, and the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen each formed a ministry on two occa- sions, while the Right Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King did so on three occasions. The longest individual minis- try we have ever had was that of the first great French-Cana- dian Liberal leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He was Prime Minis- ter of Canada for 5,565 days without a break, from July 11, 1896 to Oct. 6, 1911. The second longest uninter- rupted tenure of the office of BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO A modern home economics department was officially open- ed in Centre Street Public School by Dr. S. J. Phillips, chairman of the Board of E:du- cation, William E. Babe was the new president-elect of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club for 1943. D. C. Forrester was returned for his 12th term as club treasurer. Women in Oshawa and near- by centres were asked to vol- unteer as donors at the local Blood: Clinic. : Players of Oshawa and Dis- trict Softball Association cham- pionship clubs, Juvenile Tom- mercials, Junior Aces and In- termediate Colts, were feted at a closing banquet and present- ed with trophies and cham- pionship crests. County Council Warden Oscar H. Downey was presented with a wrist watch by his colleagues as a token of appreciation for his service during the year. A epidemic: of tire thefts broke out in the south end of the city; tires were reported stolen from five automobiles. Ration board personnel were appointed to serve several neighboring communities. Ronald S. Snowden was elect- ed president of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club for the 1943 season, to succeed Fred A. Cochrane. A Certificate of Merit War Effort Award was sent to Form 3A of the OCVI. The students set up a shoe-shine stand in the school basement as a means of raising money for war work. City Treasurer Peter A. Blackburn celebrated the 20th anniversary as treasurer of Oshawa. East Whitby township council voted a total of $2457 for war effort and also decided to in. crease relief vouchers 25 per cent, : L. E. "Pop" Osier was ap- pointed chief warden of the Osh- awa Civilian Defence Corps. A butter shortage was acute in Oshawa and many people were without butter for three days or more. Prime minister was Mackenzie 's third and last ministry, from Oct, 23, 1935, until Nov. 15, 1948. That last 4,772 days, just nudging out the second minis- bef of Sir John A, Macdonald, which spanned 4,616 days from Oct, 17, 1878 until his death on June 6, 1891. COMMONWEALTH RECORD Mackenzie King formed our 12th, 14th and 16th ministries, The first two were the famous minority governments of the 1920s. These three together maintained him in office as our Prime Minister for 7,825 days, or a total of,21 years, 5 months and 7 days, This is an all-time record as head of a government in the British Commonwealth, and a récord which is unlikely ever to be broken in view of the greatly increased strain and burden of such an office now. Sir John A. Macdonald holds the record as our prime minis- ter for the second longest total stretch, namely 6,937 days. The . third longest in office was Sir Wilfrid Laurier who, as I said above, piled up an unmatched stretch of just over 15 years without a break. Sir Robert Borden, who was Conservative Prime Minister over the whole stretch of the First World War and more, formed two consecutive minis- tries, the first Conservative and the second coalition, running from 1911 to 1920 for a total of 3,195 days, making him our fourth longest . serving prime minister. Fifth came Mr. Louis St. Laurent who, from November 15, 1948 to June 21, 1957, held office for 3,140 days, And sixth now comes Mr. Diefenbaker, who passed R. B. Bennett's total of 1,902 days on Sept. 2 last, and will attain his 2,000 day in office on Dunday, Dec. 9 this year. Still close be- hind him is Hon, A. Mackenzie, the first Liberal prime minis- lisher from Sarnia, served days. THE BRIEF CHIEFS After that eighth longest ice as Prime Minister of ada, we drop down to or: Sir an ae ys; Right Hon Meighen 627 days stretches; Sir J. J. days; Sir M. Bowell, and Sir Charles Tupper, a 69 days. These were all Con- servative leaders. ' There have been. only four Liberal prime min Mac. kenzie, Laurier, Macke! and St. Laurent; the other nine were Conservatives. Those four Liberals have between formed six of our eighteen min- istries, for a total of 18,335 days, compared to 16,500 days of Con- servative rule which will be at- tained. on Dec. 9, marking 95 years 5 months and a few days since confederation saw the in- stallation of Sir John A, Mac- = as the first prime min ster.
