She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1963----PAGE 6 Extent Of Provincial Aid Campaign Question One of the questions still to be answered in the current federal election campaign concerns the help that the national parties can expect from their provincial counter- parts. When the provincial party also forms the government, the help can be substantial indeed. Past experience, however, has shown that more often than not the pro- vincial organization prefers not to commit itself too strongly in a federal fight. The key provinces, inevitably, are Ontario and Quebec. In the former, the federal Conservatives not only would like to have the active cam- paigning support of the provincial organization, but obviously want to dip into the war chest which the provincial Tories have already filled in preparation for their own cam- paign some time this year. It takes a lot of money to fight a general election campaign, par- ticularly at the federal level. Party coffers were depleted by last year's campaign -- and the division in the party is not calculated to make Con- Thomson & Publisher Roy Thomson has a habit of frank speech which has made him the delight of interview- ers, particularly when they realize that the frankness is the product of a man with a shrewd and subtle mind and a superb gift of salesman- ship. It was these qualities that made Mr. Thompson's recent meet- ing with Premier Khrushchev in Moscow a news-worthy and rather extraordinary occasion. There were quips, jokes and a general atmosphere of geniality. As a token of friendship, Mr. Thomson gave Mr. Khrushchev a battery- driven wrist watch, and a gold watch for Mrs. Khrushchev. Khrushchev asked: "Are you sure it is not some sort of infernal machine put together by capitalists to blow up the Communist system? I must get my wife to try it on first. A Yugoslav told me that whenever they want to cross a mine- field they let the ladies go first." servative fund-raising any easier. It's no wonder the federal cam- paginers are eying the Ontario Tory resources with naked hunger. But it's doubtful if Mr. Robarts and his colleagues will turn over more than a token portion of those re- sources to Mr. Diefenbaker. Former premier Leslie Frost, after cold-shouldering George Drew, gave Mr. Diefenbaker substantial and effective support in 1957 and 1958. But then the federal Conser- vatives got the idea they had done it all by themselves, and relations between Ontario and Ottawa grew chillier. There has been no thaw since Mr. Robarts took over. Premier Lesage could give Mr. Pearson a lot of help in Quebec, but whether he would want to commit his provincial organization to a full- scale campaign is doubtful. [t would mean fighting Social Creditists who have established themselves as champions of French - Canadian rights -- much too dangerous poli- tical ground for a battle. Mr. Lesage would sooner fight them on strictly provincial issues, Khrushchev Mr. Thomson assured his host that "we don't need any infernal machines to blow up Communism. It will turn into capitalism in due course." He went on to say that if Khrushchev had been a capitalist he would now own 200 newspapers, compared with Thomson's 100 -- and Khrushchev beamed. He did not beam when Mr. Thom- son suggested that Russia and the West should get together because of the looming threat from China. It was a rather undiplomatic re- mark, but perhaps deliberately so. In any case, it brought an irritated reaction from Mr. Khrushchev, who claimed to be shocked by the sug- gestion. It is interesting to note, however, that since the Thomson observation, Khrushchev has found it necessary to make several public protestations of the fundamental solidarity of the Communist world, while granting minor differences. He gives the im- pression of protesting too much, Hitting Where It Hurts During the past twenty years, under pressure of the steadily Mounting toll of automobile traffic accidents, provincial authorities have tried many schemes and plans &s deterrents to the careless driver, who is by far the greatest single cause of motor injuries and deaths. These plans nearly all involve penalties involving the payment of Some money to someone -- fines, "increased insurance premiums, dam- ages and such. Unfortunately, these have not worked out too well. People are still being killed and maimed in the same old way by the same old offenders. We agree with the Dominion Automobile Association that what is needed is a revised system of penalties which would give pause to the potential accident-maker before he rushes headlong into another made-to-order accident situation.

Driving licences should be harder 'to get in the first place and easier to lose for safety infractions. Instead of fines for traffic convictions, or demerit point losses, let's suspend the licence for months, or permanently if neces- sary. In this motorized age, one of the most important bits of paper any average citizen possesses is his driver's licence. With the threat of prompt licence loss facing us, it's not hard to believe that some careful re-appraishal of our motoring con- duct would be made before we suc- cumbed to the temptation of flaunt- ing the laws of motoring safety and common sense. At first thought, this might seem a bit drastic, but as ever, drastic situations need correspondingly drastic remedies, Bible Thought Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from-me. --Mark 7:6. The outward show that is not. in harmony with inward beliefs is abhorrents to Him who looks upon the inward rather than the outward appearance of man, House-10-House Canvass Started By Enumerators OTTAWA (CP) -- Within a six-day period a force of 69,- 000 men ane women will have to count the heads of approx- imately 10,000,000 persons eli- gible to vote in the April 8 fed- eral election Enumeration, necessary for Preparation of voters' lists, be- gan Monday, Feb. 18--the 49th day before the election--and ends Saturday, Feb. 23. The enumerators' principal task is to see that all who are qualified to vote get on the list. Under the present system, in- troduced in 1938, two-member teams of enumerators each can- vass between 250 and 300 names in urban polling divisions. The enumerators, who must be elec- tors in the riding, are chosen by the sitting member of Par- liament and by the runner-up in the last election. For voting purposes, urban @reas generally are cities and towns with populations of more than 5000 The enumerators must make a house-to-house canvass in ur- ban areas and may not use the telephone, but the law permits them to obtain information from janitors or neighbors. A house- to-house check is not required in the country and telephones may be used. MISTAKES INEVITABLE Enumerators must ascertain that each prospective voter is 21 on or before polling day, was living in the riding on the date the election writ was issued, Feb. 6, and is a Canadian citi- zen or a British subject with at least one year's residence in the country. In urban areas, each enum- erator receives a basic fee of $32 plus 10 cents for each name collected. In rural districts, where there is only one enum- erator for each polling division, the fee is $32 plus 11 cents a name. With only a short time to set procedure in motion, in- cluding training enumerators, OTTAWA REPORT Brief Parliaments Boost Pensioners By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Nearly one-fifth of all the members of this past Parliament are now newly-qual- ified for the MP's pension--and many of them may well be drawing it before Easter. To qualify for this very gen- REPORT FROM U.K. Northern Countries Searched For Oii By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A new hope for a return of prosperity to the distressed northeast section of England, now one of the black areas of the country with an above the average percentage of unemployment, depends on the success of a new project for prospecting for oil and na- tural gas in that part of the country. The ministry of power had let it be known that it has granted to an American company the prospecting and development concession for an area covering some 1500 square miles in Northumberland and Durham. The American concern, known as the Ambassador Oil Corpor- ation, plans to spend anything up to three million dollars in exploration for commercial sup- plies of oi] and natural gas. These explorations alone will provide some much-needed em- ployment in the northeast. INCLUDES COAST LINE The area covered by the con- cession granted to the company stretches some 30 miles inland along the 52 miles of coastline from Alnwick to West Hartle- ol, Within it are some of the ardest hit industrial centres of England, including Newcas- tle-on-Tyne, Gateshead, Jarrow, Durham and Sunderland. The company plans to make a start on well-drilling in the fall of this year. The first ex- ploratory well, according to its plans, will be dug on the coast near Blyth, 15 miles north of Newcastle. The concession includes also the offshore rights, and it is likely that some of the prospeci- ing will be done in coastal waters in the North Seas. It is a fortunate circumstance that the concession area lies wholly inside the depressed Northeast region for which Lord Hailsham was_ recently given special responsibility. The Ambassador Oil Corpora- tion are quite confident that some significant results will ac- eure from its explorations. John M. Bennet, one of its senior of- ficials, said that long and care- ful research by the company's geologists showed this to be the most promising area for oi] and natural gas. deposits in the Unit- ed Kingdom. If oil and gas are found in commercial quantities sufficient to justify development, this could transform the whole in- dustrial picture of the northeast. The wells themselves would provide employment. The cheap enengy which would thus be made available locally could at- tract other industries to the area. It might also be possible that associated industries could spring up to extract and pro- cess by-products. The Ambassador Oil Corpora- tion recently made some im- portant oil finds in Ireland. In its northeast England project it will be working through a Brit- ish subsidiary, Envoy Oil Lim- ited. One other attractive feature is that the whole operation will be financed 100 per cent by Am- erican dollars. This area has never previous- ly been prospected with mod- ern methods and equipment, and there are fervent hopes in the district that the venture will prove successful. YOUR HEALTH Having A Doctor Wise Precaution By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Can you tell me all I should know about hav- ing plastic surgery done on my nose? The cost, etc. I decided to write to you since I don't have a doctor.--CHARLES H. Yes, and I might even tell you some things that you didn't ask. Or ask you some questions. Why don't you have a doctor? Doubtless you'll say it's because you haven't needed one. But sooner or later you will, and as far as that goes, having a doctor may prevent some very minor symptom from growing into a bigger one. Or he may well pro- tect you from some danger. Have you had your polio shots? Is your tetanus protection up to date? One of the commonest of all complaints about medical care is the protest, "I was terribly sick last night and called five doctors, but I couldn't get one to come." With rare exceptions these complaints are from people who don't have a doctor of their BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, VD, was re-elected president at the an- nual meeting of the Maple Leaf Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company. Mayor W. H. Gifford and members of the llth Army Tank Battalion (Ontario Regi- ment) took part in an Honor Roll dedication service in Cedardale United Church. Rev. Hugh G. Crozier, pastor of the church, conducted the service. Citizens of Oshawa and dis- trict saw the mercury drop to 32 degrees below zero. Cyril A. Schofield was secre- tary for' the Oshawa Win-the- War and Community Fund cam- paign. Progress was made in organ- izing rehabilitation work in the community for the welfare of war veterans. A committee was appointed to head the organiza- tion, consisting of James Hax- ton, chairman, T. K. Creigh- ton, KC, vice-chairman and K. D. Smith, secretary. During the week 306 citizens of Oshawa and district made donations at the Oshawa Blood Clinic. Oshawa Civil Defence work- ers heard the first of a series of lectures delivered in a basic training course by Capt. M. Mc- Intyre Hood, secretary of the Ontario Civilian Defence Com- mittee. Waiter A. Thom, of Oshawa, graduated in marine engineer- ing with honor standing from the Galt Naval School. Miss Mary P. McBrady, Ly- ona Hunt Mangan and William A. Wicket gave a piano and organ recital in Simcoe Street United Church. - Final arrangements for the distribution of Ration Book No. 2 in the Oshawa and East Whitby townsivip areas were complet- ed unuer the direction of Mayor W.

I'm not trying to drum up trade for the medical profession. I'm not try- ing to lay down any rules as to how often you should see your doctor. You and he can work that out as time passes, I'm not saying what you should have in you can agree on that. I do say that just having a doctor who knows you is a wise precaution. It is a great relief for the nerves when an emer- gency arises. If there's a hospital for which you have high regard, get a doc- tor on its staff. If you are com- pletely in the dark, you can al- ways call the county medical society and ask for the names of two or three doctors in your vicinity. And so much for that. Concerning the nose, first dis- cuss your case with a plastic surgeon. (Again, either inquire at a major hospital, or the med- ical society.) Since you are a man (and fairly young), it is probable that your wish for a different nose is perhaps more urgent than mere attractiveness. Physical appearance can, in some cases, become a severe handicap in business and in one's attitude. But it's also possible, unless you get the opinion of some- body else, to overestimate the degree of need, and perhaps to miscalculate just' what is feas- ible. So, from one source or an- other, find a good plastic sur- geon and discuss these ques- tions with him. A sketch show- ing what can be done may be of considerable help to you in de- ciding. The cost will be several hun- dred dollars. Closer than that, I can't say since I don't know anything about your particular case. The surgeon will be glad to give you estimates on the op- eration itself, and the probable length of time in the hospital. erous p , an MP must con- tribute $240. a year and must sit in at least three different Par- liaments, As our normal Parlia- ment lasts between four and five years, this would mean that a minimum of say 13 years rep- resentation in the House of Com- mons would entitle an ex-MP to he pension. But our: recent Parliaments have not lasted for the normal length. In June, 1957, we elected a Parliament which was dis- solved within eight months; and again in June, 1962, we elected a Parliament which was dis- solved wiithn eight months. In between: we had a Parliament which lasted barely four years. Thus the crop of new MPs who were first elected to Parlia- ment in that 1957 election are now eligible for the pension--if they retire or fail to win re- election. TORY FLOOD The 1957 crop was the first wave of the flood of new Con- servatives who came in on the Diefenbaker surge. There were 'also a small handful of repre- sentatives of other parties newly elected at that time, and four of these are now eligible for pensions, These are that flu- ent foursome in the New Demo- cratic Party, Douglas Fisher from Port Arthur, Murdo Mar- tin from Timmins, Arnold Pe- ters from Kirkland Lake, and Frank Howard representing Skeena, B.C. The great body of Conserva- tives, who were first elected in 1957 and were still MPs at dis- solution two weeks ago, now cover the whole range, from cabinet minister to back- bencher. They include cab net newcomer Marcel! Lambert from Alberta and cabinet old timer Ray O'Hurley from Que- bec. They also include a well- liked and able group of back- benchers from Ontario, Heber Smith from Simcoe North, "Doc" Rynard from Simcoe East, Gordon Aiken from Parry Sound - Muskoka, Jim Baskin from South Renfrew, Bobby McDonald, the former Tiger- Cat footballer from Hamilton, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 19, 1963 . . . The first Women's Insti- tute in Canada was formed at Stoney Creek, Ont., 66 years ago today--in 1897-- by Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless of Hamilton. At a meeting of the Farmers Institute she suggested that farm women should have their own organization to study home management and bet- ter sanitation. This organi- zation of rural women was soon duplicated in other centres of Ontario .and spread to the other prov- inces. In 1919 the Feder- ated Women's Institutes of Canada was organized in Winnipeg with Judge Emity Murphy as the first na- tional president. 1958 -- A colliery 'explo- sion at Asanol, India, killed 182 miners. 1878--Thomas Edison was given a patent on the phono- graph.

Altogether: there seem to be 9 MPs who qualified for the pension by their service in the last Parliament. MPs in the last Parliament who had qualified earlier for the pension include 19 who have now sat in four Parliaments, 17 who have sat in five, nine who have sat in six, and then 9 more MPs who are the real veterans. Among these latter are Exter- nal Affairs Minister Howard Green, former Health Minister Paul Martin, former Transport Minister Lionel Chevrier,: and Liberal front - bencher Azellus Denis who have all sat in eight Parliaments; and John Diefen- baker and Tory front-bencher Elston Cardiff, as well as Lib- erals George Mcllraith, George Nixon and Raymond Eudes who have sat in seven. Mr. Chevrier has had a break in his_ service, so Howard Green, Paul Martin and Azellus Dénis now tie for the title of "Father of the House." PENSION'S WORTH MPs contribute $240 a year to their pension fund, until they have paid in a maximum $4,000, which takes just over 16 years. They draw, as a pension, a yearly sum equal to 75 per cent of their total premiums. This means that the 1957 crop, who have fortuitously qualified for the pension after unusually short service in Parliament, would now be entitled tc receive an unusually low pension of just Over $1,000 a year. All those MPs mentioned above seem likely to be re- elected, and in that case they will be able to pay more contri- butions. into the pension fund- and thus augment the pension they will ultimately receive. officials concede that mistakes are bound to be made.

In this category are Sons of Freedom Doukhobors, Jehovah's Wit- nesses and certain Indian re- servations. In the 1962 election, Chief Electoral Officer Nelson Cast- Onguay investigated a number of complaints involving enum- eration and three court prose- cutions resulted. They included a case in Tor- onto Parkdale where an apart- Ment janitor who obstructed enumerators was fined $25, In Toronto Rosedale twe enumera- tors, accused of putting new Ca- nadians not qualified to vote on the list after being informed of their ineligibility, were ac- quitted on 'a technicality, If a pair of enumerators dis- agree as to the qualification of any person, they must postpone their decision, report to the re- turning officer and be governed by whatever direction they re- ceive from him.
