She Oshana Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Election Did Not Show Big Party System Shift ' Results of last week's federal general election have persuaded gome political observers that there ig a trend towards a return to the two-party system in Canada. They note that Social Credit barely re- tained its uneasy and weak position in the West, suffered serious losses in Quebec and failed once more to make any impression on the rest of the country; also that the New Democrats not only failed to make any headway but lost two seats, and on the basis of representation have no better claim to being a national party than have the Socreds. These observers are probably in- dulging in wishful thinking, and are reading more into the results than is actually there. It is true that, nationally, the future of Social Credit looks dim. Its tiny beach- head in Alberta and British Colum- bia is held only on strength borrowed from provincial stores ; and the mad- cap appeal of Caouette in Quebec has, as expected, failed to stand the test of time. It is true, too, that the NDP's parliamentary represen- tation comes only from three pro- vinces, with no members east of Boys Clubs This week Boys' Clubs of Canada Week is being celebrated at the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club, with special events each day beginning this afternoon. The celebration calls at- tention to the success of the move- ment in promoting juvenile decency. Harold McNeill, the hard-working executive director of the Simcoe Hall club, told this newspaper: "Now more than ever, with the growth of the country's population, youth guidance and leisure time programs are needed ... In our club boys not only are kept out of the streets and provided with facilities for letting off youthful steam, but they also receive professional guidance in a wide variety of activities all boys enjoy. Physical fitness programs, arts and crafts, hobbies, community service projects, or just a quiet place to read or do homework, are available to every member." As he points out, National Boys' Club Week is dedicated to the pro- position than any boy who is placed Ontario or west of Winnipeg as far as the B.C. border. But there are_ other facts which cannot be ignored: The New Democrats, for example, doubled the size of their vote in Quebec, making enough progress in a few ridings to suggest that they could gain a Quebec seat in the nex few years; and the Social Cr and New Democrats between them garnered nearly two million votes, accounting for 26 per cent of (the total vote. The New Democrats alone topped the million mark. The fact that better than a quar- ter of the electors did not support either the Liberal or Conservative parties cannot be ignored. It may well be, too, that a country as large and diverse as Canada needs more than two parties to reflect regional and other differ- ences. The United States is held to be the great example of the two- party system in operation, but are there not in fact four parties in the U.S.? The Southern Democrats, for example, have little in common with the rest of the Democratic party. The Republican party also is divided into two wings. And this may not be a bad thing. Celebrate in a situation in which his natural, creative impulse can fulfill them- selves, will turn out to be a good and valuable citizen. He theorizes that boys turn to delinquency and join gangs only as a last resort, and that juvenile crime is the result of juvenile despair, the "despair of youngsters who find themselves trapped in situations they just don't have the knowledge and strength to surmount." That may, in some ways, be a debatable proposition, but there is no question that the friendly and co-operative atmosphere of a Boys' Club, and the facilities it provides for the spending of youthful energy and exiberance in constructive, healthful ways, have done an enor- mous amount of good in guiding boys away from the kind of mis- chief which can easily degenerate into crime. The Simcoe Hall Boys' Club war- rants the interest and support of every good citizen. Lesson In Guatemala In 1954, when a pro-Communist government was overthrown in Guatemala with the encouragement of the United States, it was the announced 'American plan to make the country a showcase of demo- cracy. But about all the Guate- malans have got out of it has been nine years of rightwing dictator- ship, now a new coup has made it more righting than ever, the Mil- _ waukee Journal comments. There was a valid excuse for revolt when Carlos Castillo Armas and his small band took over in the 1954 teacup revolution. There had been heavy Communist peneration, Guatemala was a postal station for flooding Latin America with Rus- sian propaganda. But the promise of "return to democracy" proved an illusion, In 1957 Castillo Armas was assassinated. In effect the govern- ment that took over was a military She Oshawa Sines T. L.

President Migel Ydigoras Fuen- tes, who was ousted as president the other day, had military men all around him. Now even Ydigoras is out, and announces from exile that he approves of the coup that ousted him, Only the' military can save the nation, he says. Save it from what? The Journal asks. From free elections, for one thing. That is what Ydigoras and the military feared. The elections had been promised for next fall. And if they were held and were free the betting was that Juan. Jose Arevalo, now hiding in Guatemala, would have won. Arevalo is anti- Communist but anti-United States, Guatemala is in no better shape than it was at the time of the 1954 revolution. The lot of the people, is no better. It is another lesson that cloak-and-dagger intervention and indiscriminate lending are not enough to assure "freedom and plenty." Other Editors' Views INFORMED VOTE (Cape Breton Post) It's far more important that those who do vote know what they are voting about than that there should be a record turnout of voters. In one country, Australia, as it comes to mind now, the people en- titled to vote are penalized for fail- ing to exercise their voting right and privilege. People who don't vote are fined. This may seem to improve the workings of democracy, but that it actually improves the cause of good government may be doubted. REPORT FROM U.K. British Now Look To Commonwealth By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- British industrial- ists and business men are mov- ing well ahead of the gov- ernment in their consideration and discussion of steps which must be taken to increase and solidify Commonwealth trade now that prospects of joining the European Common Market have disappeared. Prof. Walter Hallstein, chair- man of the Common Market Commission has made it quite clear that there is no hope of any future association of Britain with the Common Market. When the negotiations were abruptly YOUR HEALTH broken off, that was the end of the matter, he says, because Britain would not accept an as- sociate status within the Euro- pean Economic Community. This situation is recognized in the United Kingdom, and it was responsible for. bringing to- gether, under the auspices of the Westminster Chamber of Com- merce and the Federal Trust for Education and Research, 200 leading British business men for a conference, The subject of the conference was given the title "Britain After Brussels" which fairly well indicates the subject matter under discussion. MADE ERROR One of the chief speakers at the conference was Professor Curare Valuable In Small Amount By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: How can curare be used in surgery with- out poisoning the patient?-- Curare is, in sufficient quan- tity, a poison, in that it paral- yzes muscular activity. It does not damage the tissues, how- ever. It kills by: paralyzing, among other things the breath- ing muscles, and death in that case, is from lack of oxygen. (Some Indian tribes have used curare as an arrow poison.) In small amounts, curare is a@ very valuable drug. It helps to control severe convulsions and muscular spasms, for ex- ample. It also is used, again in small amounts, to. bring about greater muscular relaxa- tion before surgery. Curare is only one of many drugs which are poison in large quantities, but useful in small amounts. Take atropine or bel- ladorna, which in overdose can kill but in proper dose has saved thousands of lives. Or so- dium fluoride, which is a poi- son in large doses but at one part per million is put in drink- ing water to prevent tooth cav- ities. There are countless other examples. Dear Dr. Molner: What is meant by scars on the heart? --MRS, R. M. L. It could mean scars on heart valves, such as from rheumatic fever. Or it could mean scar- ring of the heart muscle itself, which would be the healed area following a heart attack. Dear Dr. Molner: My four- year-old son doesn't talk. The only thing he has ever said is "'ma-ma-ma." He seems to un- derstand everything we say, but is very stubborn and hard to make mind unless it is some- thing he wants to do. He gets what he wants by pointing and grunting, and shakes his head for "no." What can be done to belo him learn to talk?--MRS, By this age he should be talking a blue streak, of course. Or jabbering pretty well, at least. There's quite a bit of vari- ation in youngsters so I don't believe in getting worried too soon. But I'd have the little fel- low exam'ned. There could be some defect in his speech or- gans that need correcting. If not, a child guidance centre might be very helpful. Dear Dr. Molner: My son, 40, suffers from kidney stones. What. causes them? Would a special diet help?--MRS. E. R. Kidney stones form basically because the urine becomes too highly saturated with certain chemicals--urates, oxalates and hosophates are g. them. Then they begin precipitating out as solids, and become "stones." (There are other techniques involved, but that's essentially it.) Drinking lots of water to keep the urine dilute is important in preventing more stones. A change in diet also can help, but must be chosen on the ba- sis of study of the chemical content of the stones. This may be done also to increase or re- duce the acidity of the urine, but here again you need expert guidance to know which way to change. GALLUP POLL Charles Carrington, an out- standing British historian, who in a forthright address said that Britain should realize that she had made an error by trying to put Europe first and the Com- monwealth second. Trade with the Common wealth, said the professor, was worth twice the trade with the Common Market countries and had infinitely greater potential in the long run. And he backed up these statements by a clear exposition of the possibilities of closer relationship between Brit- ain and the other Common- wealth countries, "During the Brussels negotia- tions,"' said Professor Carring- ton, "the government issued re- peated snubs to the Common- wealth countries. It said quite freely that it proposed to dis- criminate against them. Com- monwealth trade has been allowed to languish by the cal- culated neglect of the govern- ment," INVISIBLE EARNINGS Professor Carrington explain- ed how trade with the Common- wealth and Empire countries help Britain's balance of pay- ments by invisible earnings which included banking and shipping. "Trade is carried on," he said, "in Commonwealth ships and financed by Commonwealth banks, But European trade is largely carried out by European fleets of ships and financed by European banks, For strictly commercial reasons, apart from all the other considerations of the Commonwealth relationsaip, Commonwealth trade should be built up again." His address was received with the utmost enthusiasm by the gathering of business men, who obviously are waiting more or less patiently for somt definite lead from the government to- wards the promotion of greater trade with the Commonwealth countries. Accuracy Demonstrated In Election Forecast By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION » (World Copyright Reserved) . The Gallup Poll has again demonstrated its accuracy in the seventh federal election Actual Vote (89% returns) 33% 42% 12% 138% Conservatives Liberals NDP Soc-Cred For its first five federal elec- tion reports, the Gallup Poll based final figures on inter- viewing carried out ten days before the election, because of the obvious difficulties of get- ting. questionnaires back from the towns, cities, villages and farm areas in every province, tabulating and analyzing the re- sults. After very accurate re- porting in 1941, 1949 and 1953, the swing to Coservatives in the last ten days prior to the 1957 election, increased t heir popular vote 5 per cent beyond the Poll's estimate. Since then final interviewing is carried out on the Wednesday prior to elec- tion day. Over 200 interviewers in every part of Canada complete their ten interviews in the one day, do their own count of the re- sults on two key political ques- tions, and wire findings to the Gallup Poll. In turn, the final figures are wired to the 27 member newspapers of the Gal. lup Poll across the provinces, for publication as always, on the Saturday prior to the actual election. This was a particularly diffi- cult election. in many ways, with such factors as nuclear forecast since its inception in Canada in 1941. Its assessment of the popular vote, based on interviewing five days before the election is compared below with latest available figures -- 89 per cent of the total vote. Gallup Poll Report April 6th 32% 41% 14% 138% arms, anti-Americanism, and personalities of the leaders for the two main parties complicat- ing the picture even more than usual. However, one of the very interesting aspects of the final vote was the close parallel it showed with party standings established by the Poll in the week just before the Gov- ernment fell in January. Those who favor shortening duration of the election campaign would have support in the fact that this was the party standing re- ported by the Poll when the last Parliament dissolved -- seven weeks before the final vote. PC's Libs. NDP Soc-Cred. 33% 8=9644% = 12% 11% Of interest, also, to critics who claim that the Poll's na- tional regular sample of about 700 interviewers is too small to record public opinion accurate- ly, is the fact that this Febru- ary study, taken just before the snap election was called, was carried out with our regular sample. In the final studies be- fore an election, the Gallup Poll sample is increased to 2,000 in- terviews, not for greater accur- acy, but to provide a better op. portunity for analysis of sub- groups within the national elec- torate. No Early Victory Seen In Tough Vietnam War By HAROLD MORRISON WASHINGTON (CP) -- The U.S. Army chief of staff says there's a tough, nasty war go- ing on in South Viet Nam and many persons don't realize it, He says the war may go on for another three years before vic- tory over the Communist Viet Cong is finally achieved, General Earle Wheeler's blunt portrayal of U.S. operations in that rice bowl jutting out of of Southeast Asia is disclosed closed-door congressional hear- ings on U.S. military posture. For years the U.S. has been Pumping money and men into South Viet Nam in support of the Saigon administration headed by President Ngo Dinh Diem, a man reported to hold control over his country by .po- lice means, highly authoritarian. and intolerant of political oppo- sition, In an open letter published as fn advertisement in the Wash- ington Post March 13, a group of about 60 U.S. authors, law- yers, clergymen and professors urged President Kennedy to end the Vietnamese war and stop supporting Diem whose Tegime was described as an "open and brutal dictatorship." The group proposed a special United Nations conference be called to work out a peaceful solution. AID POURS IN Pouring in aid at the rate of about $1,000,000 a day--or a to- tal of more than $2,000,000,000 --the U.S. appears to have given little consideration to the question of whether the major- {ty of people in South Viet Nam really want Diem or whether victory over the Com- munists will simply mean the establishment of another totali- tarian state. The immediate problem is to make sure Diem is not overthrown. - "The survival of an independ- emt government in South Viet Nam is so important to the se- curity of all of Southeast Asia and to the free world," says Defence Minister Robert Mc- Namara, 'that we must be prepared to take all necessary measures within our capability to prevent a Communist vic- tory." A year ago, the U.S. had 900 "advisers" with Vietnamese military units. Now, says Wheeler, there are 3,000. All told, the U.S. has more than 11,000 men in South Viet Nam, some shuffling military papers in Saigon and some in the field, manning helicopters and bomb- ers spreading napalm fires over rice paddies and jungles, to a out the elusive Viet 8.

Compulsion To Gamble Fought By Its Victims By MIKE GAVIN SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A well-dressed man in his early 30s stood before a small group gathered in the basement of a church and calmly told of hav- ing fleeced his widowed mother out of the life savings she had "gathered a nickel at a time." In a conversational tone he told of squandering the money in a poker game. ' Next, a middle-aged business- man told of cheating customers and creditors to finance his un- requited love for roulette. Still another said he forced his wife and child to exist on a diet of "red beans and rice" while he sat across the table eating the same things with enough money in his pocket for filet mignon, "I couldn't touch my _ taw," he told the group and they nodded in mute agreement. The taw, in gambler's language, is betting capital. As each speaker introduced himself he was given a warm round of applause, followed by another hand when he sat down after telling his story of "'lies, | loans and larceny." FORMED BY PAIR The listeners were all famil- jar with the "three Ls" of the strange affliction called com- pulsive gambling.
