fee Seer ee & The Oshawa Cimnes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T..L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 6, 1963--PAGE 6 i Events In South Africa Move To Tragic Climax Watching the course of events in South Africa is like -watching a 'Greek tragedy. The characters move long a dark path of doom, seem- 4ngly helpless to break the curse 'that lies on them or to change their 'course of their own volition. Last week the South African 'Parliament enact a new "no trial" bill that gives South African police the power to hold suspects in soli- tary confinement for 90 days with- 'out charging them, and empowers the justice minister to detain a political prisoner indefinitely after his prison sentence expires. The bill, the latest in a series of highly restrictive measures enacted in 'South Africa, ostensibly is aimed at suppression of African sabotage and terrorism. What it does is to invite terrorism, because it itself is a terroristic measure; it intro- duces the death sentence for two more offences -- leaving the coun- try to learn sabotage techniques, and advocacy of the forceful over- throw of the regime from abroad. Sir Winston The usual phrases, "end of an era," end of an epoch" and so on have been trotted out since Sir Winston Churchill informed his constituents that he will not seek re-election to the British House of Commons. Sir Winston himself would be the first to snort at them, not only because of his great love of and deep respect for his native language, but also because of his feeling about the British Parlia- ment. He has called himself "a child of the Mother of Parlia- "ments". - The Commons will not falter be- "eause he is not there, Sir Winston "would be horrified by the sugges- "tion that any one man could en- "compass all the strength and virtue "of Parliament or could dominate it 'Yor more than a brief moment. Nevertheless, when one comes to write about Sir Winston, the use of superlatives is unavoidable; and 'Jacking the brilliant phrase-making of the great man, one is forced to * fall back on the trite phrase. The -2th Century has produced giants South African lawyers have offi- cially protested that this latest measure brings an end to the rule of law in the country, but their protests did not prevent the South African Parliament from rushing the measure through in record time --in seven days from its introduction in the House of Assembly. The bill was rushed so that it would be law by the time a former leader of the banned Pan-African Congress was ' released from prison after serving a three-year term for "incitement" ; it enabled authorities to put him back in prison, to stay there at will of the "justice" minister. Twenty-five years ago, Premier Verwoerd was an avowed admirer of the Nazis. But he seems to have learned nothing from their bloody failure. He is now trying to apply their methods to supression of South Africa's blacks, who are re- acting just as the victims of Nazi oppression reacted; violence breeds violence; terror breeds terror. One of these days there will be a terrible time of reckoning in South Africa. Steps Out in the arts, in politics, in science, but not-one has greater stature © than Sir Winston, and not one has come as close as he does to the Renaissance ideal of the "comp- lete man." He has been statesman, orator, soldier, writer, painter and bon vivant. His. were the words that lifted the spirits and hardened the resolu- tion not only of his own people but of the free world at a time when the light of freedom was flickering. His were the warnings of impend- ing tragedy that went unheeded. His was the vision that led to the re- birth of Western Europe. His were the books that have been become classics of personal history. And long after he is gone the phrases that he coined will be common currency -- the cold war, the iron curtain, "give us the tools," "so much owed by so many to s0 few" and a hundred others. The Commons will not falter be- cause he is not there. But the world will long remember what he did there. | 'Contempt For Our Law A mass of evidence was placed be- * fore the Norris commission investi- ' gating trouble on the Great Lakes "to show the contempt of Seafarers 'International Union officials for the law. SIU conduct and comment dur- 'ing the commission hearings show- ed the same contempt; Mr. Justice "Norris was personally abused and * the proceedings derided even while ~ the hearings were in progress. Iso special des Now Peter McGavin, executive: secretary of the AFL-CIO Maritime * Department, is quoted in a dispatch "from Washington as saying that ' picketing and boycotting of ships of - Upper Lakes Shipping Limited will * continue no matter what the courts - decide.

The Norris commission report is still being prepared. No doubt it will have many recommendations to make, and the government, knowing the desperate situation on the Lakes, will give it careful study. But in the meantime, the Canadian government cannot tolerate the con- tempt for Canadian law shown by the Seafarers. Prime Minister Pear- son has appealed for a reasonable settlement of the dispute, and has directed his appeal to the United States. He should not have to ap- peal. Nor should the Canadian Labor Congress have to appeal to its Am- erican counterpart either to support it or keep its fingers out of what is essentially a Canadian affair. A disgraceful series of violent oc- currences took place last year at Great Lakes ports, directly attribu- table to the shipping labor dispute. The new season has started in a "most inauspicious fashion. These impediments to Canadian commerce cannot be tolerated. Other Editors' Views REVOLUTION POISED (Hamilton Spectator) One of the bloodiest revolutions 4n history hovers over South Africa like a starving vulture. It is poised and ready to begin its feast, and the longer that feast is postponed, the more vicious it will become. Only a complete policy about-face by the all-white South African gov- ernment could possibly avert it. 3 TIME TO GET MOVING AGAIN REPORT FROM U.K. Exhibition Centre Proposal Criticized By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Any town in Can- ada would welcome with open arms a $60 million project to create within its boundaries a gigantic permanent exhibition centre to show off the nation's products to the world. A grandi- ose scheme of this kind is pro- posed to be erected on 308 acres of the 500-acre Osterley Park, not far from the London Air- Po: rt. The scheme is designed to at- tract to its exhibitions. more than 30 million visitors a year from all over the world. To cater for them, it will have na- tional and international bus sta- tions and car parking for 10,000 YOUR HEALTH vehicles, 6,000 of which would be under cover in a two-tier building. Also under considera- tion is a direct mono-rail link between the exhibition centre and London Airport. HUGE HALLS The exhibition halls would oc- cupy a total of one million square feet. Close by would be a conference hall and theatre to seat 5,000, a hotel with 375 bedrooms and a restaurant. with 500 tables. There would also be blocks of flats and shops for 2000 employees, a railway sta- tion to link with the main line at Paddington and a huge block of administrative offices. As I have said, any commun- ity in Canada would welcome such a project with open arms Mother Worried By Her Reaction By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I've al- ways heard that a person who - 4s emotionally or mentally ill is the last to realize it. Yet I feel deeply that there is some- thing wrong in my own make- up. I find myself being child- ishly malicious at times in my dealings with my children. One son in particular sets off these reactions constantly. While I realize I'm wrong at the time, I can't seem to help myself. I don't want my chil- dren to be made into emotional wrecks by their mother.--Mrs, D.R. You are far from being the only mother with such feelings and I strongly doubt that you are verging on a mental col- lapse of any kind, Mental {llness, after all, can be fairly well summed up as a means of escaping from some situation with which the patient just cannot cope. For various reasons (on oc- casion physical and others per- haps purely a matter of inher- ent strength or weakness, atti- tude toward life, and upbring. ing) some people can withstand much more pressure than oth- ers. And I dare say nearly all of us can withstand more than we thought, if we have falth in our ability to keep trying. You don't tell me anything about the youngster who touches off your explosions. Maybe he's an imp with too much energy and a bigger-than- average slice of mischief in him. Try to analyze exactly what it is that annoys you. If his be- havior isn't too malicious, un- doubtedly it will change as time passes. Perhaps you should keep that youngster busier. Do it subtly, of course, so he won't feel that he is being picked on. Perhaps you-can-make a point CARPET COMPANY 282 King W. 728-9581 RUG CLEANING of asking him to "help" you with things---things he'll find to be fun, like licking a cake spoon or some small chore that emphasizes his responsibility, and hence his importance. And another thought which may be very important. Are you getting some recreation out- side the home? Even an occa- sional show, dinner in a rest- aurant, or a visit with friends can be a wonderful and neces- sary tension-breaker. : With a family of youngsters to bring up, any mother can fall into the habit of staying too close to home all the time. Unending responsibility can make it into a prison, and you automatically rebel. Get away from it occasion- ally; even for just a few hours, and see if the experience does not give you a new perspective, Dear Dr. Molners: Is there a way to eliminate a post-nasal drip altogether, or must I put up with it the rest of my life? I stopped smoking two years ago. Ten years ago I was told nothing could be done, but thought perhaps now something new is available---M.B. It's possible. The main causes of post-nasal drip are (1) some chronic infection) (2) some physiological fault--polyps, dev- iated septum. Both may well be involved. Some of the newer antib!ot- ics may well help. So m'ght surgery. You probably cannot expect overnight relief by re- sorting to either, but I would, most decidedly, have a new ex- amination made if it is 10 years since your last one. as one which would bring peo- ple, business and wealth to it. Instead of welcoming the proj- ect, however, the residents of the Osterley, Park district are up in arms against it, and are uniting to form the Osterley Park Preservation Committee. The committee is led by a housewife, Mrs. Olive Bignell, whose home in Jersey Road, Osterley, overlooks the park. Her reasons are exactly the same as those heard from so many English communities when modern developments are mooted, she says: "This plan would ruin our beautiful park and completely alter the restful character of the district. We do not intend to let it go through without a fight." The exhibition centre proposal has been rejected by Heston and Isleworth council and by the Middlesex County Council, but its sponsors, London World Centres, Limited, have appealed against the decision. The resi- dents have decided to go in force to Hounslow Town Hall to voice their objections at a pub- lic inquiry to be held on July 2, The centuries-old Osterley House, rebuilt by the famous- 18th century architect, Robert Adam, once the home of the Earl of Jersey, stands in 140 ecres of grounds with well-kept rdens, two lakes and even a ird sanctuary where rare birds are nesting. GREAT BENEFIT A spokesman for London World Centres Limited, said: "This is not green belt land. It is understood that the Earl of Jersey is going to sell the land anyway. This proposed centre is bound to be of great benefit to Britain's export trade, and bring local, as well as national pres- tige. It will also bring $750,000 a year to the district in rates. "To set the residents' minds at rest about the beauty of the park, this will not be disturbed. InAact, we are extremely con- tned about the landscaping aspect. Only 50 acres wil be covered with buildings." But in spite of all this, the residents are violently opposed to this project. They are much more concerned about continu- ing to live in a quiet backwater le. of lif TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 6, 1963...

Now, it seems, Parliament is about ready to provide a loop- hole. 3 Tain Macleod, Conservative leader of the House of Com- mons, said recently the govern- ment approves of the latest of a series of committee reports over the last 80 years. The ma- jor recommendation is that Peers be permitted to renounce tueir titles and seek election to the Commons. The Labor opposition has said it will not oppose the bill, although some in the party feel it doesn't go far enough and that a second House on a her- editary basis should be abol- ished altogether.

Defenders of the Lords call it "the house of experts" and in- sist that the peers, wo at leisure, refine and clarify bills that come to them from the everworked Commons. They say there are many cases where lords have improved bills and won the praise of the Commons. One peer described it re cently as an institution: "We would not have had the sense to create if we had not --e bd ' xcept for the high "degree, dignity and honor' of the title, the lords. draw few privileges from their rank, Those who at- tend the Lords regularly get a "others get @mall expense allowance.

Imagine tourists crawling all over The Rock, oohing and Aahing at such information as, "and here, ladies and gentle- men, is where Al Capone slept in isolation." The glowering Rock in San Francisco Bay has a history, mostly grim, that dates back to 1854, For the last 29 years it has been the toughest prison in U.S., the tantalizing lockup for gangland's most hardened criminals, but by July 1 it wil be closed and abandoned. What to do with it is a topic of great speculation. If some- thing isn't done soon, the 20- acre island could become a deserted crag, crowned by de- cayed buildings and an auto- matic lighthouse.
