She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1963--PAGE 6 New Pressure Expected For National Lottery News reports from the United States indicate that several states are considering following the ex- ample of New Hampshire, which has passed a bill legalizing a state lottery. The United States Congress, on the other hand, has repeatedly rejected bills to legalize national lotteries, and some interesting legal complications could result from the state legislation. One thing is certain. If states in the U.S.A. do run their own lotter- ies, their tickets will find their way into Canada, and if the prizes won are substantial, Canadian prize- winners will get as much publicity as do the winners of Irish Sweep major prizes. Another certainty is that sweep- stakes in the U:S. would greatly increase the pressure in Canada for similar action. Many national organizations have gone on record as favoring the establishment of a Canadian national lottery, if only to keep at home at least a part of the money now flowing out of the country to foreign lottery orga- nizers. Judging by polls of public opinion on the subject, it's likely that were a vote on the question held tomorrow, there would be a substantial majority in favor of a national lottery. This newspaper has opposed the idea of staging lotteries to raise money for hospitals or for any pro- ject which should be supported by every citizen and not merely by the gamblers. There are strong arguments, however, in favor of lotteries to support causes which may be considered not the respon- sibility of all citizens. Italy built superb summer and winter Olympic installations from the proceeds of soccer pools. The Kitchener Record points out that 'Canada has a very expensive pro- motion, coming up in the 1968 Winter Olympics at Banff. The likely cost to the Canadian tax- payer will be a minimum of $12 million. A national lottery could take up the slack for most of that amount." New Oshawa Champion Once again an Oshawa athlete has brought honor to the city. Last year we had a world's figure skating champion in Donald Jackson, whose winning performance in the men's singles at Prague was rated by ex- perienced. observers as the greatest free-skating display ever put on by a contestant in the world champion- ships. And now we have another winner in Alex Oakley, who won a gold medal for Canada at the Pan- American Games by out,distancing his opponents in the ztfooo-metre walk. This is not the first time, by any means, that Mr. Oakley's feats as a walker have put Oshawa in the headlines. He is a veteran of the toughest competition in the world and has always distinguished him- self in one of the most gruelling of all athletic events. We can all bask in the reflected glory of these accomplishments, but we should also remember that an enormous amount of discipline, de- dication and self denial goes into the making of a champion. There must be natural ability, of course, but natural: ability' of itself is not enough. Athletes with a great deal of natural ability are not uncom- mon, but without the strength of will to make the: most of that ability, they rarely become more than minor leaguers. They are the also-rans, There is still more to the making ef a champion, however, than ability and dedication. There must also be the will to win. In most competi- tions, there are contestants of almost equal ability, with the same sense of dedication, who have done an equal amount of preparation. But one will beat the others, and the margin, often enough, if found in that. indefinable quality called will -- the courage or determination that rejects the agony of tortured limbs and burning lungs or rejects the strain of tension-taut nerves. Oshawa has its champions. Let us again salute them, Hard Core Of Jobless The most recent figures on em- ployment in the United States show that more than 68 million people were at work in the U.S. last month, an all-time high; a million and a half new jobs had been created this year. But about five per cent of the total labor: force were still unem- ployed, most of them had been un- employed for several months and would probably continue to be un- employed no matter how much of a boom the economy enjoyed. Canadian employment statistics show the. same trend -- more people at work, but a chronic core of unemployment untouched by prosperous conditions. Identifying the chronically un- employed is easy. There are un- skilled and poorly educated. Many of them have so little education, in . fact, that training or retraining them can only be done after their education has been brought up to She Oshawa Gimes T. L. WILSON, . Publisher C.

Another serious complicating factor in the training pregram is the rapidly changing nature of the skills now vequired by industry. As the process of automation speeds up, some skills become obsolete and new ones are needed. What seems to be in prospect in many industries is a more or less constant process of training and retraining, affect- ing the employed almost as much as the unemployed. It seems possible that inability or refusal to adapt to this process of change could en- large the number of the chronically unemployed. There is the problem, one that cries for solution because it reaches into all areas of our society, from the schools to the workshops, from the homes to the seats of the legis- lators. We do not pretend to have the answers, But a continuing and co-operative search for answers by industry, labor educators and gov- ernment should be productive. In- deed, it is imperative.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- Sui cidal prices quoted by Japanese Shipbuilders for shipbuilding contracts are blamed for the steady deterioration of the ship- building industry on the river Clyde in Scotland. That is the Opinion expressed by John YOUR HEALTH Brown, managing director of the famous John Brown and Co. Ltd., shipyard, which is facing a possible layoff in its labor force if orders for ships do not come along in the immediate future, The competitive position in the shipbuilding industry, ac- cording to Mr. Brown, had de- teriorated because of the Japanese policy of bidding at No Specific Cure For Mononucleosis By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D, Dear Dr. Molner: What about the blood disease known as mononucleosis? Is it spread only by saliva? Can it recur, or may one have it once and become immune? It seems to be_ spreading among teen-agers.--L. Infectious mononucleosis is a virus infection. It is character- ized (and thus named) by the presence in the blood of a large number of white cells, called mononuclear. A blood test is an excellent way of diagnos- ing a suspected case, but this does not imply that treatment of the blood is necessary. Rather, mononucleosis is a self-limiting disease. Like the common cold, you get if and you get over it, and there isn't any specific cure. Whether it is spread "only by Saliva' is not known, but it does spread from person to per- son, especially among young people, and often among college Students in dormitories or troops in military installations. The characteristics include fa- tgue, swollen and tender glands (it is also called "glandular fever') and sometimes a. tran- sient hepatitis--that is, a liver condition, but not to be con- fused with the more serious types. Plenty of rest and wholesome food, and precautions against complications, are the essential treatment. Taking the ailment too lightly isn't wise, because re- lapses can occur. On the other hand, jit isn't the type of ailment that should frighten anyone. It. clears up, leaving no after-effects. One at- tack usually confers immunity, which very possibly may be why we see it among. young people and rarely among older ones, I question whether it really is "spreading among teen-agers," but suspect, rather, that it is being diagnosed more readily instead of being passed off as something else. Exactly how the virus is transmitted is not known. Mono- nucleosis has been called "the kissing disease' because of the age of its most. frequent vic- tims, but that doesn' explain its spread in non-coeducational schools or army barracks. It may spread pretty much the way colds do, or measles, or whatnot. Sir: I have developed an itchy condition of hips and legs. I have tried soda and_ starch baths without success. Have you any suggestions? I am 80 and in good condition otherwise. --C..N, I'd see a dermatologist to make sure that you haven't fal- len victim to some skin ailment. If he says no, that it's just a result of the drying of skin which comes as we get older, he can suggest other remedies, lanolin creams or bath oils. I'm twenty-odd years younger than you are, but find that a cocoa- butter based soap helps me. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Henry L. Howard, employee of General Motors for 51: years, was. honored by his associates of the paint department on the occasion of his 77th birthday. Crowds of local school. chil- dren, under teacher supervision, thronged the Oshawa Arena to see the spectacular General Motors "Arms For. Victory" show. The arrival of SS Coalfax marked the official opening of the 1943 shipping season here. Welcoming the ship were Mayor W. H. Gifford, Elmer Dixon, Harber Master Gifford and Wharfinger A, J. Graves. An estimated 6,000 citizens attended the annual Kiwanis Carnival in the Oshawa Arena. J. Angold won the grand prize of $1,000 Victory Bond. First Class Stoker Warren Holt, of Oshawa, appeared in one of the sequences of the film "In Which We Serve," shown at the Regent Theatre. Miss Marjorie Fetcher, stu- dent in Hospital Administration at the University of Toronto, took her course in field work at the Oshawa General Hospital. Oshawa students were promi- nent in the programs featuring dramatic and art exhibits of the annual Ontario Education Association convention in To- ronto, Takng part in a French play were Miss Gladys Edmond- son's French class at the OCVI. Exhibiting fine art specimens were Barbara Swann, Gwendo- lyne Bray, Evélyn Swartz and Harriet Mallory. Local Independent Order of Oddfellows Lodges commemo- rated the Order's 124th anniver- sary when they attended a serv- ice in Albert Street United Church, conducted by E, Dono- van Jones, student pastor' of the church. William G. Mutton celebrated his 91st birthday with his daugh- ter, Mrs. W. R. Armour. Eighty-one tons of salvage were collected in a one-day drive in the city. Stephen Say- well, chairman of the Salvage Board, pointed out the first drive which was held a year ago was not as successful. Percy R. Cowling, Bowman- ville druggist, had the honor of being the 10,000 thdonor at the Oshawa Blood Clinic. prices far below normal. The same policy, he says, is being emulated, and deliberately so, by Swedish builders. Both Japan and Sweden, he said, are deter- mined to hold a market for gil tankers and similar vessels, whatever the cost. RECEIVE SUBSIDIES Mr. Brown was quite frank in his assessment of the situation. He said: "It is frequently said that British builders are able to offer competitive prices with their rivals in Europe. But it must never be forgotten that these are no' remunerative prices. It is virtually certain that no ten- der today permits a full re- covery of overhead costs, and this is probably true of competi- tive European prices also, even when account is taken of the support that most of our rivals receive from hidden or direct subsidies." Ht was in this context that Mr. Brown made the statement that there will be a big reduc- tion in his firm's labor force later this year unless new or- ders are placed with the firm soon. He was backed up by John Rannie, the shipyard di- rector, who said: "We don't think there will he a big lay-off just now. Later on in the year, unless we get some of the ships we are chasing, there will be a big reduction in the labor force." EMPTY BERTHS When I visited Clydebank, I saw the empty berths at the yard of John Brown and Com- pany. The firm, which has spent $15 million on modernization in the last 10 years, has now on!y three ships on the stocks. One of them, the British Mariner, a 68,000 ton tanker, is ready for saunching, and that will leave four empty berths. The yard's engineering plani is working at a quarter of its normal capacity. An all-out bid is being made to secure an order for a $21 mil- lion luxury cruise liner which is to. be placed later this year by the Swedish - American Line. Brown's, four 'other British firms and five foreign yards have all been asked to tende1 The 'securing of this order by Brown's would strengthen 'he employment position, The labor force at the moment' is about 5000, compared with the normel figure of 8000. And the com- pany is still hopeful that it will be placed in a favorable position by being given an order' by the 'Cunard Company for a "Q4" ocean liner. e THt CHRIST IA SCIEN MONITOR ea Accurate Compleie News Coverage Printed itr BOSTON.

That is sensational news to the many denizens and visitors on Parliament Hill, to whom Mel is known personally or by - reputation as far, far and away "backroom boy". He is the superb ex- ample of that adviser, work- without whom every cabinet minister, from prime minister downward; M4 sooner or later take a prat- 'all. During the past six years, Mel has been executive assist. ant to George Hees. In that time, Mr. Hees developed from what the Right Hon. C. D. Howe once called 'that play- boy from Toronto" into the ack- nowledged heir-apparent to the Conservative leadership, and the minister directing the most successful and most glamorous department of the whole Con- servative government. Without taking anything away from the successful politician which George Hees has be- come, it is only fair to Mel QUEEN'S PARK Jack to describe him as "the Hees that Jack built," OTTAWA VALLEY PIPPIN Melville Rait Jack was born 54 years ago, at the little Ot- tawa Valley lumbering town of. Arnprior. Before his 20th birth. day, he became an active poli- tician; as a student at Queen's University, he was thrice elected to the Ontario Boys Parliament meeting in Toronto. He was successively MP, Speaker and prime minister. Then followed five years as executive assistant or private Secretary to premiers, party leaders or ministers in the On- tario Legislature. His first job was with Hon. E. A. Dunlop, whose daughter "Mibs" later married a star on the Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup champion team, named George Hees. Then with Premier G, S. Henry. Then with Hon, Earl Rowe-- now Lieutenant - Governor-- who with Mel's aid just nosed out his rival for the leadership, George Drew. In the ensuing general election, Mel, was given the special assignment of ensur- Earl Rowe Likely Star In New Role By DON O'HEARN Toronto -- Hon, Earl Rowe now has been sworn in as lieutenant-governor, This must be a great relief to Mr. Rowe. For a while it looked as though he might not make it. First he got involved in charges of irregularities in rac- ing charters, of which he. was cleared, And then he had to clear up an ailing foot . It took two months finally did make it. GOOD SPEAKER There is a feeling that this long-time politician will. make a good Queen's representative, Mr. Rowe can be a blunt and earthy man, but he also has a strong sense of dignity. And he but he .4s an excellent speaker. These days the busiest occu- pation of the lieutenant-gover- nor is te 'travel the country fair, "Empire and Canadian clubs circuit as the star attrac- tion. The new lieutenant-governor will be top-rank at this task. There will be, of course, one task in which he will excel even or is Which he will cher- sh. On the big day at New Wood- bine race track it is the function of the lieutenant-governor .on behalf of Her Majesty to present the Queen's guineas to the win- ner of the Queen's Plate, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS MAY 7, 1963... The passenger liner Lusi- tania was torpedoed and sunk without warning off the coast of Ireland 48 years ago today--in 1915--with the loss of 1,198 lives, including 124 Americans. President Woodrow Wilson condemned the sinking, which had a great influence on Amer- ica's decision to enter the First World War two years later. , 1907 -- The Vancouver stock exchange was incor- porated. 1824 -- Becthoven's ninth symphony was presented for the first time. This veteran campaigner of the harness tracks will prob- ably take a particular delight in having before him, in a position of some humility, the representative of the runners, who are inclined to be a bit snobbish about harness men. But there will be no bad feeling, Mr, Rowe is very pop- ular. And you can hazard a guess that when he presents the guineas this year it will prob- ably be the firsttime in history that there will be a rousing cheer at the track for Her Ma- jesty's designated representa- tive. And probably some free ad- vice of the 'you tell them Earl' variety, DIEF CHOICE One other direction in which Mr. Rowe is off to a shaky start is that he is not the ap- pointee of the present govern. ment at Ottawa. In fact he represents one of Mr. Diefenbaker's. last personal decisions and appointments. He was strictly a Diefenbaker choice. The government here would have been glad to have Hon. Keiller McKay continue in office, This, however, will not cause any trouble. The lieutenant-gov- ernorship today is a post prin- cipally of honor, with formali- ties its only duties. And there is no working contact with Ottawa. ing that the independent Con- servative candidate at Guelph was beaten by the official Com servative candidate. Mel., as als, ways, carried out his orde the maverick's name v George Drew. Those names, Hees, Ro Drew, have highlighted Me career. But the Conservatives lost election, so Mel moved into bu iness, working for the Lakes Paper Co. of which Ear Rowe was president. Then Mi moved to Ottawa as a wartim "dollar a year man" in the @ partment of munitions and ply under the great C. D. He His job: To allocate labor fe the pulp, paper and lumber dustry. When the Conservative party chose a new f leader, John Bracken, Mel was drafted to be his private secretary. And he was still working in the leader's office when, ; Drew arrived in Ottawa as the new leader on a sunny 'all day in 1948, Through the 1949 and 195: elections, and between, worked superhumaniy and ef- fectively for the Conservative especially for a backbe named Diefenbaker. But his ear, with no thanks from the party he had served well for 22 years, no protest from the MPs he had aided, and the passed-hat revealed a paltry: farewell gift of $847. Admiring political foes, Lib- eral Walter Harris and CCFer Ross Thatcher, together nego- tiated a job in the civil service here for Mel. In 1956 the Conservatives had a new federal leader, who wanted the best help and cer- tainly needed it. Mel was asked to accept the post as national organizer. But his wife under- standably protested vigorously against Mel leaving the secur- ity of the civil service to work for a political disorganization which had done him such dirt, Even one of Mel's. close friends was unable to tempt him with the offer of a 10-year contract at $25,000 per year. But when, six months later, the Conservatives had gained of- fice, George Hees picked up Mel to be his aide. His im- mense value was concentrated for Hees and scoffed at by the party hierarchy, Thus the writ- ing of history was influenced. Now Mel is lookng for a job in business. Offers have reached $35,000 a year. But not surprisingly the capital's best backroom boy has had offers here too. The choice of work- ing with four different Liberal Ministers has been his this past week, F PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM There would be little talk of "the good old days" if it weren't for the poor old memories, Cold feet has probably kept more people out of devilment than conscience has.
