She Oshawa Sunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Economy And Efficiency As. Themes Of Election An interesting situation could develop if Prime Minister Diefen- baker, or attempts to make, the Glassco Commission recommenda- tions the main theme in a general election campaign. The other parties have had no major criticisms of the commission proposals and could hardly be expected to oppose "'effi- ciency and economy" in their elec- tioneering. The result would be the unique spectacle of all political parties promising more economical government -- which would be a refreshing change from the wiid spending promises which have spat- tered most election campaigns in recent years. The Glassco commission has un- covered enough waste and extra- vagance to anger even the most torpid of taxpayers; and it has made enough specific proposals to increase the efficiency and cut the cost of administration to put pro- mising politicians on the defensive. To be critical of efficient cost- cutting, of course, would be like coming out in favor of sin or against motherhood. Still, most of our more promising politicians have in the past been able, in one breath, to deplore the extravagant use of public funds, and in another to offer the most outrageously expensive scheme as bribes for public support, and all without blushing. Between now and electioneering time they will un- doubtedly find a way to reconcile their support of the drive for effi- ciency and economy with their chronic appetite for pie in the sky. If Mr. Diefenbaker does use the Glassco report as his election issue, he will be in a favorable position if he can show that his government has already put many of the re- commendations into effect. It's quite possible that he will be in such a position, since he has the redoub- table Senator McCutcheon in charge of the job. Answer By The RCMP .Commissioner C. W. Harvison of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has issued a praiseworthy statement concerning the RCMP interrogation of Lionel Orlikow, the Winnipeg school teacher who took a group of touring students to Com- munist headquarters in Winnipeg -- among other places. The commissioner pointed out, quite properly, that "if a sinister interpretation was placed on this interview it was not. done by the RCMP. The suggestion that there was something in this interview from Dr. David Orlikow's losures in the House of Com- mons... Iam disturbed that a normal interview with a citizen should result in such a storm being raised, in which both the citizen and the police are subects of severe criticism. I suggest that we will have arrived at a serious state of affairs if a policeman in a de- mocratic country, cannot seek assis- tance of responsible 'citizens with- out creating unwarranted sus- picion." That needed saying. Some Cana- dians in positions to publicize their views are much too quick to attack the police, on the shakiest of grounds, and one must wonder, from time to time, about their motives. The Mounties have the task of checking subversion. It's a tough job, a nasty job, but one that must be done for the security of the state and the security of all of us who do not wish to become Communist puppets. It is a pity that the RCMP state- ment was not issued sooner. It would have stopped a lot of hasty speculation and silly fulminating. Perhaps the incident will persuade the Mounties to be a little less tight- lipped. Optimistic View Taken W. Earle McLaughlin, chairman and president of the Royal Bank of Canada, devoted his address to to- day's annual meeting of the bank's shareholders almost exclusively to the development of monetary policy if Canada. He found much to cfiticize, but he ended on an op- timistic note. He did not express a vague optimism, but gave specific reasons for his outlook. * He asked? "What are our chances of achieving stability and growth at home along with the competitive vigor needed to meet the challenge of our international environment?" And he gave this answer: "I think there is good cause for optimism." * Here are his reasons: * "In the narrow field of monetary policy .. . the Royal Commission on Banking and Finance is now near- ihg the end of its exhaustive en- duiry into the operation of our whole financial structure. This en- quiry, which has been welcomed by the banks and the investment com- munity, will undoubtedly do much directly and indirectly to improve P T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

As I pointed out last year, in suggesting such a Commission, this is a move on a broader front to re- examine our taxing habits and even- tually to establish a tax system more in keeping with our need to achieve and maintain a competitive position in the world economy. Along these lines, too, we should welcome the efforts of our Trade and Commerce Department, and of many co-operating business firms, to explore export opportunities; re- cent tax legislation should give added incentive to production for export as well as for the domestic market; and finally, the new Na- tional Economic Development Board will undoubtedly be charged with mapping our course in a world of economic blocs and increasingly severe competition. "There is much here to support an optimistic view of the future. We can improve the efficiency of our financial machinery.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- It was a great night on Leicester Square when the new Empire Theatre, suc- cessor to a theatre which was historic in London, was opened. All the pomp of an official func- tion was shown as the Mayor of Westminster, Alderman P. Negretti, arrived, and walked between the ranks of the guard of honor provided by the King's Troop of the Royal Horse Artil jery. But as a distinct depar- ture fro mthe old Empire Thea- tre, where musical comedies reigned supreme, the opening ceremony presided a showing of MGM's film, "Jumbo" a movie about a circus. The Empire site has been a cominating feature of Leicester Square for nearly a century. During that time, it had adapt- ed itself to all the varying trends in mass entertainment. The new 1963 syle Empire Theatre is an entertainment centre combining a dance hall with a luxury motion picture theatre seating 1,300 people. HISTORIC SITE Some fascinating theatrical history has been woven around the Empire site. In 1863, the Eldorado, a music hall com- bined with a restaurant, rose on the site. It was destroyed by fire two years later. The story goes that the then Prince of Wales, laer King Edward VII, rode on the first fire engine to arrive at the scene of the fire. The real Empire story had its beginnings in 1884, when a thea- tre was built on the site. In 1887, in response to the mood of that era, it switched from the legitimate theatre to variety, and became one of the world's most famous music halls. On the promenade at the back of the Royal Circle the men-about- town gathered night after night. YOUR HEALTH Few Signs Show Dope Addiction By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What signs should one watch for to deter- mine whether an acquaintance is addicted to dope?--Mrs. A.B. Contrary to fiction (written or word-of-mouth) addiction to nar- cotics is not easy to detect in its early stages. Deprived of drugs, addicts be- come nervous and sometimes even violent. But they return to normal behavior just as rapidly, once they get drugs. Pupils of the eyes are usually small; however, there is so much var- iation in people that this is hardly a reliable sign; it's no more than a helpful indication at times. As an addict becomes more dependent, he ultimately turns to injecting drugs into veins of the arm with a hypodermic, and then the needle scars are a give- away. Dear Dr. Molner: Our two- year-old grandson speaks few words, but nouns only. No verbs. his hearing is very sharp, and he has a good mem- ory and seems bright. He mi- mics very much, and communi- cates most of his wishes by pointing to what he wants, or gesturing. We are very worried that he may be mute.--A.B. Mute, when he speaks words? Of course not. I think you're ex- pecting too much from him. There's a lot of difference in the age at which youngsters. decide to talk. I've even known of youngsters that didn't ta'k at all --not even nouns--until about three years old. And at least one such hasn't stopped talking since! If a logical-minded baby can get what he wants by pointing, why should he talk? Overpro- tection and anticipation of a child's wants may, indeed, slow up their need to speak, but I don't know that this necessarily means any harm in the long run. The best way to promote speech in a child is to talk to him in adult Janguage (but simple words, of course) and he's likely to try to imitate it. When the child is a good mimic, that helps. I wouldn't worry about this youngster. Dear Dr. Molner: My eyes be- come so swollen from sleeping that sometimes it is noon or later before they subside. If I just lie on the bed for a few minutes, or if I sneeze, they swell. I have had my eyes checked.--Mrs. E.B. Swelling can come from eye diseases, such as_ glaucoma, trachoma, conjunctivitis, etc., but you've had your eyes checked. The tissues of the lids are thin, so any slight accumulation of fluids can make obvious swelling. Hence kidney or liver disease with fluid retention can be a cause, Still further, severe hypothy- roidism (low thyroid activity) is accompanied by baggy skin and swollen lids. So is trichinosis (caused by worms not killed by thorough cooking of pork). Allergy is entirely possible-- sensitivity to feathers in the pil- low, or to some material in the bed clothes. In the 1920's, the Empire re- verted again to staging legiti- mate theatre productions. But it was not long before there came the new breakthrough in enter- tainment. In 1927 the last live production was staged at the Empire. It was the musical play "Lady Be Good" with Fred Astaire in a starring role. A year later, the Empire Cinema, with seating occommo- dation for 3,500 people replaced the old Empire Theatre, Its ac- cent was on luxury. It cost $2,- 250,000 to build. It had elabor- ate chandeliers, a gilded dome and handmade carpets in the en. trance hall and foyer. Its first general manager was Vivian Van Damm, later the success- ful operator of the Windmill Theatre. The first film shown was "Trelawney of the Wells" star- ring a promising young actress named Norma Shearer. It was a silent film, but accompanied by a full orchestra. In 1946 the Empire was chosen as the lo- cale for the first Royal Film Show, "A Matter of Life and Death". When films went through a temporary slump, the Empire produced lavish stage shows to pull in the customers. The last film to appear at the old Empire Cinema was Ben Hur, which was screened there in 1950 and ran for 76 weeks. Then the old Empire went out in a blaze of glory, and in 1961 the work of remodelling to pro- duce the New Empire Theatre was started. Now it is opened, to start the writing of the New Empire story to carry on at the point where the old story finished.

BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Oshawa was able to meet its debenture payments due on De- cember 31, 1932, in full. Thomas C. Young was instal- led as president and Dr. Lou Hubbell as secretary of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club for 1933. The number of Oshawa fam- ilies dropped from 1311 to 1199 between December 10 and Jan- uary 5, 1933. Oshawa property owners car- ried the Glass Company fixed assessment bylaw by a ma- jority of 2336 to 255. Building permits for 1932 of $41,314 were the lowest in many years. Everett A. Warne was re- elected: deputy-reeve of East Whitby by a vote of 901 to 236 over Charles A. Sparrow, The local Senior Bees hockey team opened the season by de- feating St. Michael's College at Maple Leaf Gardens 2 to 1. Black and Rowden accounted for the goals. The local plant of the Oriental Textiles Limited was offered for sale by the trustees in bank- ruptcy. The plant was giving steady employment to about 60 operatives. A wife of a General Motors employee had the misfortune to lose his pay, cheque to the amount of $37.32. A, Towers was re-elected president and A. Halewood, vice- president, at the annual meeting of the Holy Trinity Church Choir. The public health nursing de- partment reported an epidemic of mumps through the southern sections of the city. John White, son of Mr. and Mrs, John White, 273 Grooms avenue, was the first Oshawa baby born in 1933. Collective Bargaining VW Kim Of Civil Servants By JOHN E. BIRD OTTAWA (CP)--Federal goy- collective ernment employees will be ing 124,500 civil servants are optimistic they will be success- ful in persuading the govern- ment to bargain with them col- lectively without the right to strike. However, the government has given no indication it is pre- pared to go any further than to consult with staff organization representatives on wages and conditions of work. Optimism among the staff groups that 1963 may be the year they obtain collective bar- gaining rights arises from two factors they contend are work- ing in their favor: 1, The three opposition parties in the Commons--Liberal, New Democratic and Social Credit-- support their demands for arbi- tration and negotiation without the right to strike. 2. Agreement among civil servants, opposition MPs and organizations such as the Cana- dian Labor Congress that the present system of consultation has not worked out. VOTE ON SLOWDOWN While the major issue in 1963 between the government and its employees will be collective bar- gaining, another issue being fo- mented by a relatively 'small number of employees could steal the headlines. F. A. Standring, secretary- treasurer of the Federated As- sociation of Letter Carriers, which also held a vote among its 7,200 members, said that with half the ballots in the work- to-rule principle was favored by the consultation process on grounds that the goverament can ignore recommendations which stem from it, and has done s0. Under the revamped Civil Service Act which became ef- fective last April, staff groups consult with the Civil Service Commission and OTTAWA REPORT Threat Observed To Independence By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Canada needs a Paul Revere to awaken us to the threat to our national in- depeaidence, in which we have invested immense labor, much gold and even unlimited blood over the past century. Today as never before the two most powerful nations in the world are ambitious to g-bble us up. Russia would attack us at once if it could foresee any possibil- ity of success, But we are only beginning to notice the more insidious onslaught upon our independence which is being made* bloodlessly but not sur- prisingly across "the longest undefended frontier in the world." Our independence has been fostered by the moral support, economic aid and military pro- _ tection of Britain. The disap- pearance of an independent Britain would gravely weaken our position, especially by re- moving the prestige of the Commonwealth. Thus, the en- try of Britain into the Euro- pean Common Market is being not merely blessed but actively urged by the U.S. which confi- dently expects to inherit there- by the lush bulk of common- wealth trade, plus the political bonanza of ultimately taking over Canada. 'EYE-OPENING WARNING In a magazine article, I de- fined this danger to Canada fol- lowing the Commonwealth Con- ference in Britain last Septem- ber. Paradoxically my words precipitated a delighted reac- tion from a distinguished Wash- ingtonian, who called my piece "eye-opening." If any Canadian has _ re- mained in ignorance about the intentions of U.S.A., two recent events must have opened the sleepiest eye. First, at the Nas- sau conference between Brit- ain's Prime Minister Macmillan and U.S.A.'s President Kennedy, the latter issued an ultimatum threatening Britain's position as an independent nuclear power. The most succinct comment on that was a cartoon in a British newspaper showing Macmilan signing a document headed '"'un- conditional surrender," while Kennedy addressed a picture of the first president of U.S.A. say- ing: "'Well, George Washington, that successfully concludes the operation against the British Empire that you started." The second recent event, which reéally raised Canadia> eyebrows, was the press con- ference held here by U.S. Gen- eral Lauris Norstad. If little generals trespass into the field of politics, they should be seen and not heard. It was the most outrageous and unforgivable impudence for a foreign general to come to Ottawa and declare his opinion TODAY IN HISTORY B THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 10, 1963... The first General Assem- bly of the United Nations was held in London 14 years ago today--in 1946.

That means, to be used only as and when ordered by U.S. generals. If Canadian airmen were to use their weap- ons under U.C. control, they would cease to be effectively Canadian, That would mark the end of Canadian independence for which we have so long made so much effort. That is why,' and for exampie, Britain France are both spending large sums of money to create their own nuclear weapons. It seems that the US. is making a great effort to thwart the intention of the interdepea- dent alliance called the North Atlantic Treaty, and to achieve complete authority over her Western Allies. We all joined NATO on the understanding that it would be a true alliance operated by mutual agreement after consultation. "Cuba" ended the myth of consultation; U.S. is now trying to substitute authority for agreement. What we in the West need, of course, is mutualization: A true alliance, or better, a true union, of the Atlantic nations, in which we would each have a propor- tionate democratic voice in our destiny.

QUEEN'S PARK Fine Contribution Made By Dr. Berry By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There is one man here whom a reporter has al- ways liked to call. He has always been agree- able, friendly, helpful and cour- teous. But perhaps most important-- to the reporter at least--he had the answers. As only men with a good know-how about their business can, he could give a concise reply which had just the in- formation you were seeking. MODEST SCHOLAR Dr. A. E. Berry can use the following initials after his name: B.A. Sc., M.A. sc., C.E., Ph.D. M.E.L.C and E.P.E. He didn't use any of them. Around the buildings here he was just. known as 'doctor' And even this title used to embarrass him somewhat--for at times he would take pains to point out he was a doctor of philosophy, not a medical man. And this was typical of this short, twinkly-eyed man, who looks nothing at all like the re- tirement age of 65 he is reach- ing. LONG SERVICE There is nothing modest about the contribution Dr. Berry has made to Ontario, however. Or so far as that goes to the world--for he has world re nown, If today we have decent sani- tation and control of pollution in the province at all, a lion's share of the credit goes to him. He joined the government service right after the First World War, headed the sani engineering branch of the de- partment of health from 1926 to 1956, and since then has been general manager and chief en- gineer of the Ontario Water Re- sources Commissio: n. WATER'S BACK Devoted to his field of sani- tation and good. health, over the years he quietly kept telling his story and pushing the politicians --and we made progress. They say that one day the Water Resources Commission may rival Hydro. Dr. Berry probably won't rival Adam Beck in the books, for Beck was a politi- cian, But he was the Adam Beck of the water commission. He leaves the government service, for retirement, on Feb. 1. Ontario, and this reporter, are largely in his debt,
