L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 13, 1963--PAGE 6 Street Track Removal May Be Start Or End > _, Comment on the removal of the railway tracks from King street would have béen much like a whis- per in a thunderstorm last week. Now, with the celebration over, sober thought can again be given to what this event may mean to the city. The removal of the tracks of it- self is no miracle-working occur- rence. It may mean simply that King street, in the main business area, will become a well- paved street instead of a shocking mess of potholes. Or it may mark the start of a revolutionary change in the business core of the city. What happens now depends on the people most closely involved with the area: municipal officials, property owners and merchants, There will obviously be a startling change, for example, if King street becomes a one-way street, as pro- posed in the Smith-Damas traffic survey report. The merchants are understandably disturbed by this possibility--in view of the state- Behind The Hoodlums of Le Front de Libera- tion Quebecois, the terrorist wing of the Quebec separatists, have not only claimed responsibility for such atrocities as the bombing that killed a Montreal nightwatchman and the explosion at a Royal Canadian Le- gion hall in St. John's, Quebec, but have also indicated they were re- sponsible for the army payroll rob- bery in which Lieut. Marcel Ste. Marie was shot in the ankle, calf and thigh when he rcfused to give up a briefcase containing $35,000, In a statement mailed to news- papers last week, the FLQ said that "special intelligence services" made it possible for the FLQ to "acquire some $35,000 which, instead of being used to pay vile mercenaries, will be used to help the revolution." If there is any truth in the FLQ statement, we can expect other large-scale robberies in Quebec, car- Mr. Robart's It is apparent now that. Premier Robarts will not test the temper of the province in a general election until this coming autumn. And some political observers are wondering why he decided to wait, instead of calling an election for a date in June. They point to the momentum the Conservatives picked up during the recent session of the legislative assembly, when the government seemed to be operating an assembly line producing wide-ranging meas- ures. There was, moreover, a Gallup Poll which indicated that Mr. Ro- barts had a three-to-one lead over Liberal leader John Wintermeyer as a popular choice for premier of the province. Until very recently, however, the shadow of Leslie Frost lay heavy across the Robarts administration, Now there is a younger group of cabinet ministers, who might be called Robarts men; the ranks of the Frost men have thinned. Mr. Robarts and his colleagues proab- ably think they need a few more months to establish the 'image" (a horrible word but one that is great- She Osharon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Evidence collected by business firms with branches in other cities where similar experiments have been made with traffic suggests that merchants will suffer if King street becomes a one-way 'artery. And if Simcoe street also becomes a one- way route--as proposed in the traf- fic report--there isn't much doubt that the heart of the city's business district would begin to beat with a rather odd pulse. Indeed, it might just cease to beat. Another proposal which could have a far-reaching effect is the remaking of a central portion of King street into a shopping mall. It would make the area a haven for pedestrians, with vehicular traffic being routed around it. This, in turn, would have a substantial influence on the streets bordering the mall, in the way of parking and traffic flow. The removal of the tracks, then, can be a beginning or an end. Terrorists ried out by well-armed, desperate men. And this means that we can expect more murders. There could be a violent reaction to such terrorism outside Quebec, Perhaps this is what the terrorists want--an angry outburst by Eng- lish-speaking Canadians who might be inclined to condemn all Quebecois ° for the sins of the few. This leads.us to another specula- tion. Are the terrorists interested in the establishment of an inde- pendent state of Quebec, or are they simply interested in disturbing Canadian unity, perhaps wrecking Confederation?. Are they fanatic separatists, or are they the cold, calculating agents of a foreign pow- er? Canadian security forces should use every means available to find the answers, as well as the crimin- als. Decisi 1810? ly respected by politicians these days) of a new and vigorous regime in Ontario. The legislative program presented by the government during the re- cent session at Queen's Park was flashy and covered--though super- ficially, in some cases--the matters about which the opposition parties had been doing a lot of talking. Mr. Robarts and his colleagues will be able during the months ahead to travel about the province, giving themselves what the advertising men call exposure, and expounding the virtues of their "progressive" legislation at the same time, Other Editors' Views HOCKEY INNOCENCE (Calgary Albertan) Perhaps the Europeans are naive, but we must forgive them if they have perverted our national game to the exten®pat they consider a hockey game a mere contest to see which of two teams can get the puck into the opposite goal the greatest number of times in the course of an hour's play. Unless they have been coached in Canada, how are they to know that the ob- ject is really to knock out an op- posing player -- and THEN to see about getting the puck into the goal? How are they to know that for spectator interest the game must involve rib-crunching body- checks. and, whenever possible, a fight or two? No, in their ignorance the poor European fans derive their enjoy- ment from seeing a player out- stickhandle and out-skate another and consider that skill is more im- portant than weight. REPORT FROM U.K. Tax Concessions Bring Dividends By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Reginald Maud- Iing, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, is surveying Britain's trade and industrial scene with a great deal of satisfaction these days. There has not yet been sufficient time for his budgetary provisions to make their effects felt on' the national economy. But, according to the report of the Board of Trade for the first three months of 1963, the tax concessions which he made last fall, and particularly his reduc- tions in purchase taxes, are pay- ing dividends in greater produc- tion and exports by Britain's in- dustries. The claim recently made by Prime Minister Macmilan in a speech, that "'the sun is begin- ning to shine again' is amply borne out by the latest trade figures issued by the Board of Trade. BOOM IN CARS Automobiles were greatly ben- efitted by the purchase tax re- ductions.. New car registrations for the first three months of the year are 22 per cent higher than in 1962. Automobile plants are moving towards the peak levels which they achieved in 1960. In three months, 382,203 cars were produced, the highest since the second quarter of 1960. Car exports, too, are soaring, with 55,883 shipped abroad in March to swell the three months total to more than 150,000. In the three months, exports have gone up and imports fell to $108 million a month, com- pared with $126 million in the last quarter of 1962 and $156 million in the third quarter of last year. ENGINEERING UP The increase of two per cent in exports came mainly from the engineering industries, which make up nearly half of the overseas sales. There were sharp increases in GALLUP POLL exports of machine tools, office suacery, mechanical handling equipment and electrical ma- chinery. And what is very sig- nificant in view of the failure of the Common Market negotia- tions, sales to Western Europe in the first three months of this year were four per cent higher than for the second half of last year. The major recovery was made in exports to France and West Germany, with France and Bel- gium the countries which bought most British automobiles. Others showing increases were YOUR HEALTH the United States, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. COMMONWEALTH LAGS In a statement accompanying the report, the Treasury Depart- ment said: "We must look to industrial areas, particularly Western Europe and the United S'*s, for much of our trade expan- sion. We have not been tia. ..g the most of our opportunities with the Commonwealth. Al- though these countries still buy a large proportion of British goods, foreign competitors have been winning more of the re- cent increase in purchases by Commonwealth countries. Have we adapted ourselves sufficient- ly to competition in Common- wealth countries?" The statement concludes: "We must exploit opportun- ities wherever they come. A quickly changing world requires vigorous and flexible exporting by Britain." Normal Pressure Tough To Define By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Moiner: Is it safe for blood pressure to go above 150? What is normal for a wo- man of 64?--V. D. It is very hard--impossible, in fact--to define a "normal" or "safe". blood pressure be- cause too many things affect it. Fifty miles an hour may be a safe driving speed. But not in heavy traffic, not for a poor driver, not if the car has a flat tire, and not in. a fog. Age, build, temperament and many other elements make a difference in safe blood pres- sure, However, other things being equal, 150 would be quite safe for a woman of 4. In fact, 160 or 170 would not be out of line if. You see (or you will if you look at the way your doctor records blood pressure) that the pressure isn't just one number. It's two. It will be written down as 150-100, or some such figure Opinion Evenly Divided On National THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) When Canadians rejected Mr. Diefenbaker's government they were divided almost evenly in their satisfaction or dissatisfac- tion with Canada's development as a nation. Four in ten (42 per cent) were satisfied while 39 per cent did not think our Progress as sound as it might e. When Gallup Poll interview- ers asked the dissatisfied ones to name the causes for lack of progress they placed "too much unemployment" at the top of the list and political instability second. The same question was put Too much unemployment Progress to Canadians in 1951 and 1960. On both those occasions the chief complaint was that our national resources were not be- ing developed fast enough, In 1951 unemployment was never mentioned but in 1060 it was named .second as an impedi- ment to progress, Nor was Political instability mentioned in the two previous polls, The question asked in these three studies was: "Generally speaking, do you think Canadian's development as a nation is as sound as you think it might be, or is there some way in which it isn't sound?" Those who think our progress today is not as sound as it might be gave the following anwwers: Political instability and confusion ., Poor financial state of coufitry .... Not as far ahead as other countries Too dependent, need own defence . Too much U.S. capital in Canada .. Natural resources not developed fast enoug Uneven balance of trade .. Not enough industry .... Poor foreign policy ooo eeeenereeeeseeees Other reasons and no opinion that looks like a fraction but isn't. The first (and always higher) number is the "pumping" or systolic pressure. The lower number is the "resting" or dia- stolic pressure. 3 Your blood pressure never goes down to zero except in shock. Your blood keeps flowing all the time, with the thrust of the heartbeat behind it, and it it keeps flowing, but under less pressure, between heartbeats. If the resting pressure is mod- 'erate, the pumping pressure can be higher and yet be tolerated quite well. If the resting pres- sure is too high, then the pump- ing pressure puts more strain on the system. That is one of the reasons why it is impossible to specify any particular pressure as nor- mal. But assuming that your resting pressure is in line, there's no reason to be wor- ried, at your age, over a pres- sure of 150 or even higher. Dear Dr. Molner: What could cause my toenails to turn dark?--M, N. It depends on what you mean by dark. A general dusky blue- ness of nails can accompany heart. and lung disease.* Or faulty circulation. Laxatives containing phenolphtalein can eause it. Also (rarer) mercury or arsenic poisoning. Or (much more common) fungus infec- tions. Or even dye from stock- ings. Dear Dr. Molner: The doctor discovered that our eight-year- old boy's testicles are not in normal position, and that our four-year-old boy has one that is withdrawn, Both are being given hormone shots. Since I have heard rum- ors that such medication can make boys effeminate, I'm doubly worried. y oo eo onan ets _ I Meee A TTS a Total Eclipse Of Sun Tracks Across Canada By THE CANADIAN PRESS Thousands of professional and amateur astrcnomers from Can- ada and other countries are hop- ing Saturday, July 20, will be a warm, sunny day, especially in Quebec, The first total eclipse of the sun visible in a populated area of Canada since 1932 will occur that day and it will be the last to be observed in this country during the 20th century. Malcolm Thomson, chief of the division of positional astron- omy at the Dominion Observa- tory in Ottawa, says weather records over a 10-year period show that July 20 was more often cloudy thin not. "Eclipse observers, however, are perennial optimists who fol- low their quest under the most dire forebodings,"" Mr. Thom- son says. "It is hoped that the skies will clear and that many successful observations' will be acquired." The total eclipse -- a period during which the sun will be to- tally obscured by the moon for a minute or longer--will start at dawn in northern Japan. 60 MILES WIDE The path of totality, an area 60 miles wide, will first enter North America in Alaska, From there it will sweep southeast across Canada and northern Maine, concluding at sunset in mid-Atlantic. Longest duration in Canada-- one minute and 40 seconds--will be near the eastern boundary of Yukon where it will occur at noon Yukon time. By the time it reaches the St. Lawrence River in the Trois-Rivieres area about 4:30 p.m. EST, duration will be down to a' minute' and five seconds.. When it reaches the Atlantic coast of Maine a few minutes later it will be 59 seconds. Tiny Camera Is Swallowed TOKYO (Reuters) -- A Jap- anese optical firm has designed a new "gastro-camera" for photographing the inside of your stomach. Spokesmen for the firm said none of the conventional cam- eras of the "gastro" type can be focused at will from the "outside," so doctors have to be content with "blind photo- graphing." : The existing tiny "gastro camera," equipped with a long tube, is swallowed by the pa- tient. Doctors have to turn the films and operate the shutter through a tube, from the out- side. The company's new camera is an "'extra-midget" type with an electric lamp attached. It trails a "periscope tube'? made from "fibre optics," a type of glass fibre. The lamp lights up the inside of the stomach and the picture is sent up, by means of reflec- tions on the glass fibre, to the photographer "outside." The photographer can then focus the camera as he likes. The new camera is said to be capable of taking 32 gastro- nomical photographs in succes- sion, For the most part the eclipse path crosses areas of northern Canada that are relatively inac- cessible, However, in southeast- ern Canada it crosses a heavily populated area of Quebec and northern Maine. It is in this area that, most observations will be made by both amateurs and professionals. FLY ALONG PATH The path of totality in Quebec will start just vast of Sorel, 40 miles northeast of Montreal, at 4:30 p.m. EST, and end a few miles east of Lotbiniere, 50 miles west of Quebec City. The centre of the path will run through the towns of Beattyville in the northwest, Grand'Mere in central Quebec and St. Samuel near the U.S. border. Some scientists plan to travel by rail and air to remote parts of northwestern Canada to view the eclipse. This wi' be done just in case bad weather ob- scures the eclipse in Quebec where most other scientists will be located. Mr. Thomson is organizing an airborne expedition which will include members of the Inter- national Astronomical Unio n from Britain. This expedition will study the eclipse from an QUEEN'S PARK p with special cameras apparatus and will be jable to fly above cloud banks. }it is ex- pected that the period of sotalli! in which the plane wil' oper: will be about one mitivite 50 seconds, © | FROM MANY COUNTItIES Radio telescope obse vations will be made by American and: Canadian scientists in 1 \orthern, Manitoba and Quebec, /Iin addi- tion.a German group from the international union will operate' in the Great Slave Laké. area of the Northwest Territories, a Danish group will be in the Churchill, Man.,- area and @ a group in northern Que+ ec, | t Despite advances in s¢lar ase tronomy in recent y , an eclipse still presents scientists with the best opportutiity to study the composition ani char+ acteristics of the solar ¢"orona; The last total eclipse *vas in 1954 and it crossed inacc essibie country, casting only a. brief shadow on the transcontinental gd line in northern Mani- a. e Astronomers dutifully jour- neyed into Ontario ye A pecial railway car, woke at the crack of dawn for the wtarly> morning eclipse and steppe: out into a downpour, Heavy «Jouds obscured the eclipse for al| but a few airborne observers, Sensitive Areas Between Regimes By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- How will the Robarts government and the new Pearson government get along? Fairly well, it's expected; much better than the Robarts- Diefenbaker relations, which were not of the best. One reason they will be bet- ter is that from the early days of the Diefenbaker regime there was a resentment here of the patronizing attitude of some of the ministers. Another is that the Robarts government will be doing its best not to suffer from differ- ences with the Pearson govern- ment, Last month's election showed it is not unpopular with the people of Ontario. TROUBLE FIELDS? There will be a large number of areas, some of them deli- cate, in which the two govern. ments will have to work to. gether -- or should work to- gether. Possibly the most delicate will be trade and commerce and economic development. To date it has appeared that the new federal minister, Hon. Mitchell Sharp, may be a bit hide-bound and possibly a bit old-fashioned in his ideas. There has been some evi- dence that one of those ideas might be that external trade and commerce should be the sole prerogative of the federal administration. If this is true it could mean trouble. And not only with the government here, and Hon Rob.

PORTABLE PENSIONS? Another area where there might be differences, or at hast hurt feelings, is pensions. Ottawa spokesmen have re- ported that they hope to geit a contributory pension sche me operating by January 1 of imext year. This could seriously wegiken or even knock out the Ont ario portable pension plan (whi¢:h is not due to be effective tintil Jan. 1 of 1965). The government here is pol- itically proud of its porti ible pensions and will at least want na some face for its ef- orts, TAX INCENTIVES In contrast a field in which the government here will ibe seeking federal co-operation is corporation tax incentives, It has been decided that 'the province on its own couléin't offer any incentives of su b- stance to industry, But it sti i wants to go ahead with a pro gram, and particularly wats the political cretiit for it, ~ This would mean tying in with whatever Ottawa does in this field, or getting its co-o7- eration to work along with whatever Ontario might work out.
