The Oshawa Times ne ee re Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario hh Wilson, Publisher PRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Establishment Reacts To Glassco Proposals One of the biggest difficulties Senator McCutcheon will have in trying to put into effect the Glassco commission recommendations ap- proved by the government will be the overcoming of the passive resis- tance of what might be termed The Establishment -- the people who have a vested interest in the maintenance of the administrative status quo or in its enlargement rather than its contraction. _ Typical was the reaction of the military types to the Glassco com- mission's recommendation that some military educational establishments be'elosed and that the services make more use of regular universities, a move that would save the taxpayers many millions of dollars a year without lowering the educational standards of officers. The generals and the admirals were horrified and hastened to express their horror, but they have not yet pro- duted any convincing arguments to show the recommendation won't work, Then on Wednesday Warden V, J. Richmond of Kingston Penitentiary said charges made in the Glassco report, that little or no attempt is made to prepare prisoners for a more healthy approach to life after release, do not apply to his estab- lishment -- which will undoubtdly come as a great and happy surprise to officials of the John. Howard Society, who labor mightily for the rehabilitation of men who have served terms in Kingston and other penitentiaries, The Glassco report also noted that Kingston Penitentiary's 35-bed hos- pital, built in 1850, was condemned as long ago as 1988 but still in use. Warden Richmond, however, is quoted as saying that the hospital is "clean, adequate and fully equip- ped for all but highly specialized operations." And that's quite a change since 1988. Possibly the hos- pital is like wine that improves with age. We don't envy Senator Mc- Cutcheon his job. After a while he will feel as if he has spent his life punching feathers, Pesticide Apologists Federal scientists who addressed the Canadian Society of Zoologists this week did not offer much hope of. general use in the near future of effective substitutes for chemical pesticides. Judging by the news reports, the scientists gave some comforting words about steps taken to'ensure that chemicals do not harm man or his foods supplies -- words that surely could not have given much comfort to the zoolo- gists -- and displayed a rather negative attitude towards large- scale use of chemical sprays. Dr. R. R. Logie of the federal fisheries department at Halifax was quoted as saying that "we are going to have to live with some kind of spraying for a number of years and repair the fish damage as best we can." This must have delighted the zoologists, particularly as the remark came after a dismal des- cription of the damage done to young salmon by the spraying of Néw Brunswick forests to kill spruce budworm, Dr. Logie reported one situation last summer in which spray planes went over one section of a salmon river 11 times. The budworm kill was 68 per cent and the salmon kill 100 per cent -- in other words, the spray was much more effective poison for fish than for budworm. The apologists for chemical pes- ticides would be better employed in research on other methods of controlling insects. The chemicals are, after all, self-defeating. Dr. A. W. A. Brown of the University of Western Ontario, described how insects are developing a resistance to chemical control. Already 17 species in Canada, and 157 species in the world, have developed a resis- tance to DDT. He said the insects which develop resistance to one type of insecticide can be destroyed with another, for a limited time. But there are only three main types, and it is a case of "three strikes and you're out". Abstract Art Deflates There is some evidence that the boom in abstract art may be over, which will be bad news to many thdusands of pseudo-artists who have been foisting fakery on people with more money than discernment, and who may now have to learn how to paint if they want to stay in business. Bernard Kaplan, North American NeWwspaper Alliance correspondent, - reports from Paris that a recent auction in that city works by some of the most noted abstractionists were not sold and had to be with- drawn: "Among the abstract paint- ' ers whose works fell by the wayside at the Palais Galliera auction were Hans Hartung, Jean Dubuffet, Al- freti Manessier and Roger Bissiere. All-have been high in demand among collectors." Dealers say the trend towards "cdution" has been most noticeable since last spring's crackup on Wall Street. They point out that it is the The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Kaplan quoted Robert Lebel, president of the French Guild of Art Expert-Appraisers, as saying: "In every generation, we have cal- culated that there are about 100 great painters and perhaps 1,000 talented ones, This was true in the 15th Century. It is true now. But there are currently in France, the United States and Italy alone more than 100,000 professional artists who sell to the public. This means that somewhere along the line, 99 per cent of the mediocre painters will drop out of sight. In conformity with previous norms, 999 of 1,000 artists who aspire to lasting recogni- tion will disappear." Maurice Rheims, a colleague of Lebel's, said: "Everything has been over-inflated. Quality, let us hope, will now return as a criterion." One can question Mr. Lebel's figures -- 100 great painters and 1,000 talented ones in each genera- tion. It's doubtful if any century has produced as many as 100 really great painters, But his premise is correct. There could be rough times ahead for the poseurs.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Visitors to Brit- ain. and tourists who like to seek out the lovely small vil- lages of which there are thous- ands in this country, take a spe- cial interest in the old thatched cottages which are to be found in many of them, One of the villages in which tourists stop to admire the old- world type of these structures is Stockton, near Salisbury, in Wiltshire, not far from the famous Salisbury Plains and the ring of stones at Stone- henge, But visitors to Stockton who stop to admire the seem. ingly old thatched cottages at one end of the village receive quite a shock when they read: YOUR HEALTH Air And Clothes Personal Matters By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Mrs, A. M. W, asks my opin- jon on four questions over which she has had arguments, so I'll answer them point by point: Q. "All my life I've slept with plenty of fresh air and I hate for bedroom windows to be closed. My father - in - law would never dream of opening a window. He sleeps with the house closed up tight. He burns coal in the furnace. Isn't this dangerous?" A. The amount of fresh air is a matter of personal prefer- ence, within limits. There's no objection to leaving windows closed--if you still have reason- able ventilation. Leave inner doors open, Let air circulate through the rooms. Almost all houses have cracks and cran- nies through which fresh air seeps, The house that is sealed with storm windows and doors some- times is too tight, and hence dangerous. You. must let some fresh air in, but it doesn't have to be through a wide open win- dow. (Louvred ventilators are fine.) Whatever the fuel, unless the chimney and furnace are in good condition, the danger of carbon monoxide is present. Q. "My li-year-old son has friends who just take off their clothes and go to bed in their shorts, Is this healthful? He thinks I'm an awful old fuddy- duddy because I make him change to pajamas." A, Again this is a matter of preference, We change clothes, and let. them air, because it helps keep us from being musty, For health, changing is of secant importance except in special cases. Q.

Who is right?" A, Coffee and the stimulus of its caffein is good for us old fuddy-duddies. It isn't needed by children. And it can, by needless over-stimulation, lead to nervousness. I don't make a great issue of it, but distinctly prefer that children avoid cof- fee until they are at the age of from 15 to 20, Q. "What about raw milk? My husband says it's better for a person . . . and the children have had it at the neighbor's and say that they prefer it. So far I've won the battle and in- sisted on pasteurization. I don't like raw milk and don't think it's safe," A, Raw milk isn't better for you. Nutritionally it is indis- tinguishable from pasteurized milk. As to taste, I can't de- tect any difference. But as to safety--well, we started pasteurization because raw milk killed so many peo- ple or made so many sick, The cleanest, best dairy in the world can't prevent all risk of tuber- culosis, typhoid, brucellosis and some other germs creeping in undetected, Pasteurization pre- vents this risk. Taking a chance on raw milk is like playing Rus- sian roulette, The best you can do is to gain nothing; you can lose and be dead, the plaque denoting the age of these cottages, The date shown on it is '1962," These cottages are a pair which were built only last sum- mer, Yet so closely do they resemble the ancient type of similar dwellings that their charm and exterior are jn har- mony with one of Wiltshire's loveliest thatched villages. These two farm workers' cot- tages, both three - hedroomed dwellings with their interior provided with all modern fit- tings and conveniences, have been built at a cost of $24,000 for the two by a South Wilt- shire farmer, Michael Stratton. They have been built on the site of a pair of 17th century cottages which were demolish- ed because of their poor condi- tion, But they are an almost exact reproduction of the two ancient cottages which they have replaced. Discussing the cottages had built, Mr, Stratton said: "We thought that while we had the money from these farm Subsidies, we might as well spend some of it on building some really nice cottages at this beautiful little village of Stockton, When I leave my house in the morning, these cot- tages present a lovely and soothing sight, "The architect and builders are to be congratulated, and we all feel that we have achieved something worthwhile in help- ing to preserve the traditional English scene.' Critics who thought the dis- appearance of the two original thatched cottages. might spoil the village scene have been de- lighted with the new homes, with their white walls, wedge- wood-blue doors and their deep golden thatched roofs. The erchitect was James Bur- ford of Codford St. Peter. First to move into one of these new-old homes was Mrs. Joyce Bradley, with her farm: worker husband, Gerrard, and their three children, "This is the first real home I have had in three years of marriage,' said Mrs, Bradley: "and of course, I have fallen in love with it, It is simply won- derful and we are the envy of the whole village." Yet visitors do fee! a bit dis- illusioned when they see the cot- tages, and step over to exam- ine the date shown on the plaque on the wall when one hopes to find the cottages are two or three hundred years old, it is a bit of a shock to read the date "1962,"" he BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The new St. Gregory's Parish School was completed and turned over 'o the Separate School Board for opening with 380 pupils.

Art Expert Now Doubts If Grandma By MILES A, SMITH NEW YORK (AP) -- Was Grandma Moses really a "prim- itive" painter? Those nostalgic scenes of farm life around Eagle Bridge, N.Y., such as the well-known Out for the Christmas Tree, or Sugaring Off, or The Old Oaken Bucket long have been regarded in art circles as the work of a 'primitive' artist, A "primitive' is a painter who is self-taught) who seldom makes use of a trained artist's 'Primitive' techniques, such as perspective or light and shadow, But a few "primitives" win their way to fame, And millions all over the world are familiar with the homey scenes created by the frail old lady who _-- touched a brush as 78, When she died at 101 a pen 1 she had painted some 1, pic: tures, not counting litle 'sketches of postcard size, Many of her best examples hang in American and Euro- Former Newspaperman Now Veteran Diplomat By JACK BEST OTTAWA (CP) -- You might say that Paul Malone, Canada's new ambassador to Iran, got into diplomatic work through the side door, The time: 1946, The place: Canberra, He had gone there in 1042 as representative of the Canadian government's war in- formation board, which meant telling Australians about Can- ada's war effort, "IT just happened to be there where an opportunity ope red up,"' the pipe-smoking former newspaper man recalls, "I ap- plied and was accepted." The opportunity was the job of second secretary at the Ca- nadian high commission in Can- berra, Now, as a lé-year man 'n the external affairs department, the 47-year-old Mr, Malone can look back on a rich variety of for- eign and domestic assignments, In addition to Canberra, where he remained until 1048, he has served abroad in Washington and The Hague, Since his return to Ottawa last September following four years in the Dutch capital, he has been acting head of the de- partment's liaison services branch which, among other functions, handles factual quer- ies from reporters about depart- mental operations, WORKED FOR JOURNAL During a_ previous six-year posting in Ottawa Mr. Malone was consecutively the deputy head of the information divi: sion, deputy head of the United Nations . division, and vanad of the consular division. He leaves New York Jan, 16, by sea, to take up his first am- bassadorial post. Mr, Malone was born in Ed- monton, where his mother still lives. A brother, Msgr. Joseph Malone, is rector of St, Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral there. While attending the Univer. sity of Alberta he was campus correspondent for the old Ed- monton Bulletin and later the Edmonton Journal, He gradu- ated in 1936 with a BA and went to work full time with The Jour- nal.

"Seventeen million Asians could enjoy a better standard of living than they now have, if they were permitted to come to live and scratch on the garbage dumps of Canada,."' Speaking before the Voluntary Health Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons, Dr, Brock Chisholm, former direc- tor-genenal of the Workd Health Organization, gave this vivid example to contrast our plenty and waste with the pitiable struggle for a mere existence by the world's less fortunate nations, The words of that distin- Oakville, guished native of Ont,, shook and shocked his audience of paniiamentarians.

Last year, of course, it was over the possibilities of organ- ized crime, This year it centered on the administration of the Ontario Provincial Police, and particu: larly the status of Commis- sioner W. H. Clark, In an air of mystery, which still hasn't been cleared up at time of writing, there was dis- pute over whether Commis- sioner Clark had actually re- signed, and for what reasons, And there was what appeared to be some remarkable double talk on the part of Attorey- General Fred M. Cass and Pre. mier Robarts--with the commis- sioner in the middle, THE FACTORS It seems most probably that a combination of factors is be- hind Mr, Clark's proposed res- ignation--(And there seems no doubt about it having been pro. posed, only about the circum. stances). At the root of all probably was the establishment last win. ter, partly as a result of the Liberal campaign against or- ganized crime, of the new pro- vincial police commission, There was considerable sur- prise at the time of the appoint- ment of the commission when it was given at least an indirect control over the OPP. The status of the commis- sioner and his senior officers-- who had been responsible only to the attorney-general -- ob. viously had been knocked down quite a few pegs. POSITION UNTENAB It was also felt at this time that the government probably had decided on a major reor-. ganization of the force, but that it would not go ahead with this until the. Roach commission had completed its inquiry Events before the sion itself, of course, commis: would have strengthened any resolve for a' reorganization, Along with this the new police commission started its work and went at it very actively indeed. There wasn't any indication that it was directly bossing the OPP force--but it was working out of the commissioner's office obviously was in very close touch, This could have led to a po- sition which the commissioner considered untenable. One factor which would have militated against him giving an outright and immediate resigna- tion was that he still has some months to go before he could retire with full pension, But he apparently indicated 'his intention to the government that he would be getting out as soon as his time was up. Perhaps the most regrettable aspect of this whole instance is that it is one more reflection against the force itself. The formerly very fine repu- tation that the OPP enjoyed has been slipping in recent years.

The moral of this story of the food too good to be wasted lies perhaps in the comments of those alerted paniiamentarians who heard Dr, Chisholm's stric- tures, There should be no call to re serve sunplus food left on the consumers' plates, Our national obesity and our well - stocked garbage dumps, agreed those parliamentarians, suggest that we should revise our ideas.
