Tye Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Tourist Licence Dodge Should Be No Surprise An immediate investigation into reported cases of unlicensed tourist establishments operating in the FYench River has been ordered by the Hon. Bryan Cathcart, Ontario minister of travel and publicity. He aaid on Friday: "If there is any- body without a licence, they are operating against the law and will have to be dealt with." It was a forceful, if ungrammatical, state- ment. One wonders, however, where Mr. Cathcart has been for the past few years. Licensed tourist operators have been complaining for some time about the unlicensed establish- ments; they have produced names and pinpointed the localities, with special reference to the French River area. This matter of licences is not a péfty quibble. A licensed operator must meet the standards of accom- modation and sanitation laid down by' provincial regulation. The un- licensed operator, by a legal quirk, can refuse to submit to inspection by health and other inspectors. Tiere is no telling how much dam- a Arrests Not 'Montreal police have been under great pressure to break up the gang of FLQ terrorists whose bombing activities have killed one man, crip- pled another and done serious dam- age to property. But in their zeal to strike back at the FLQ fanatics, tle police appear to have denied suspects they have arrested some of tHe common rights of the individual udder Canadian law. Suspects have béen held without charge and, it is infitcated, without immediate access tg counsel, 'What must be remembered is that any suspect is innocent until proved guilty in a properly constitute court of law. Arrests are made on evi- dence accumulated by police officers, but they are not judgments. No matter how heinous the crime of which a person is accused, he must be judged innocent until the evi- dence has been presented in a proper trial and a judgment rendered by tle president of the court or a jury of his peers. From this presumption of innocence, other rights flow: The a¢cused person must know what he is being accused of; he cannot be age has been done to Ontario's tourist industry by these fly-by- night operators. The licensed operators have had a legitimate complaint, and they have not been shy about airing their views. But it was not until a news- paper reporter went and talked to unlicensed operators and wrote about it that Mr. Cathcart sprang into action. The department a travel and publicity does an excellent job of publicizing the various attractions of Ontario. Its numerous pamphlets and brochures are models of fine art-work and honeyed prose. But it seems to have forgotten that the luring of tourists to Ontario resorts is only half the job; the other half is to help make them happy enough to return again and again. The government licence is also a zoning instrument, which can be used to prevent a resort from de- teriorating into a holiday slum. The department of lands and forests also has zoning restrictions. The check- up by Mr. Cathcart is long over- due. Judgment forced to make any sort of state- ment; he must be given access to counsel, These are some of the safeguards of the individual under our system of justice -- and a precious system it is. We cannot permit it to be threatened in any way. Without the safeguards, we would live in a police state. That is the main reason why Montreal police must not treat per- sons accused of terrorism any dif- ferently from persons accused of any other offence. But there is another, lesser reason. There must be no martyrs created for the Que- bec extremists. The FLQ cause is discredited, and the extremists have deliberately chosen the course of treason and murder. But if the terrorists move- ment could create an image of it- self as a gallant band fighting brutal oppression, it could gain a great deal of mis-placed sympathy and at least sentimental support. That must not happen, either as a result of arbitrary police action or of pre- conviction of suspects. Commonwealth's Future "The Manchester Guardian theor- ides that the future of the modern Commonwealth may be decided in Southern Rhodesia. This month the Central African Federation of Southern and Northern Rhodesia afd Nyasaland breaks up. Prime Minister Field of Southern Rhodesia has been discussing the future of his state with the British Minister for Central Africa, but they have failed to reach agreement; Mr. Field wants complete idependence, while the British government is under- standably reluctant. The catch is that Mr. Field heads a white government and proposes to keep it that way. Southern Rhodesia hag a population made up of 225,000 Europeans and 2,900,000 Africans. The British have already granted near-independence to the territory, but have retained certain powers over native affairs -- powers that She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The Africans, naturally, prefer to have the British look after their interests until a more repre- sentative form of government can be obtained. The Guardian thinks that if Southern Rhodesia becomes inde- pendent without a more liberal cons- titution, the African members of the Commonwealth may well feel that their commitment to African Free- dom and solidarity is greater than their loyalty to the Commonwealth. Thus the Commonwealth could be- . gin to die in Southern Rhodesia, We have no sympathy for Mr. Field and other rulers in Africa who are fighting blindly and stubbornly against the inexorable advance of the blacks from colonial degrada- tion. But let us not deceive oureslves that the emerging leaders of the blacks are high-minded, selfless patriots interested only in the in- dividual dignity and integrity of their compatriots. They are obvious- ly on a somewhat lower plane, which is not at all surprising, considering that they are human beings with the usual stock of human failings, suspicions and prejudices. Even. so, if the future of the Commonwealth depends on the Kenyattas, the Mboyas and the Nkrumahs, it might just as well dissolve now.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- A bright gleam of hope and a cheerier outlook have appeared for Scotland's slump-hit ship- yards. On the Clyde, it was an- nounced that the shipyards there are right in line for Australian orders for sub- marines worth in the neighbor- hood of $36 million. And at the same time, a Leith shipyard confirmed that it had cap- tured a firm order for two mini-tankers which will cost $1,500,000 to build. The two tankers will pro vide work for 500 men for a year at Henry Robb's shipbuild- ing yard at Leith. This firm was able o snap up the contract against intense competition from other yards. An executive of the company, e@nnouncing the contract, said: "The market for the building of these coastal tankers is very keen. So we are very happy to have landed this contract, which will ensure work for our men at least until the middle of next year. Since Leith is one of the @reas recognized as a depressed @rea because of its high levei of unemployment, this order is regarded as a real boon to the community. SIX YEARS' WORK The news from the Clydes- ide is even more encouraging, because it could, if it reaches fruition, guarantee six years of steady work at Scott's ship- building yard at Greenock. These orders would go a long way towards compensating the Clyde shipyard workers for the fact that none of Britain's Polaris submarines are to be built there. Scott's yard, one: of the most modern on the Clyde, is being invited to tender for two Ober- son class submarines for the Australian government, and for two more to be ordered early next year. This news has some- what eased the disappointment at the placing of the Polaris submarine contracts with Cam- mel Laird of Birkenhead. In the House of Commons, Mr. Orr-Ewing, former civil lord of the 'admiralty, said the loss of the Polaris contract might well enhance the Scott Company's chances for the Aus- tralian order. Fairfield's shipyard of Govan, also on the Clyde, are also be- ing asked to tender for this QUEEN'S PARK work. But Scott's, who have already built three Oberson sub- marines for the Royal Navy, and are building two others, are favorites for this 'consolation prize" order. It is estimated that the con- tract for the four submarines would provide, on the average, work for 300 men for six years. Undismayed by the lull in shipbuilding orders, the Clyde- bank firm of John Brown and Company is building a large mew car park for its workers near the yard's main entrance. "We may not have much work in hand now, but we are not gloomy about the future," said John Rannie, deputy man- aging director. "We are also building a new canteen for our workers, with cafeteria service for 1600." First Industry Aid Choice Questioned By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Through an un- fortunate early step, the govern- ment's industrial development loan program has got off to a rocky start. It happened that the H. J. Fairfield Company of Owen Sound was the first company to be granted a loan under the program. And Mrs. Malaprope herself could hardly have made a worse choice, Not that the Fairfield com- pany doesn't qualify. It is quite in line with the purpose of the program. A com- pany which is doing something adventurous and therefore doesn't easily get normal finan- cing But it was too extreme for a first case. As the first choice under the loan program the company was given a great deal of publicity. And it automatically became the target of opponents and crit- ics of the program. And it was a shade too good a target for peace of mind here. The company has a_bank- ruptcy in its background and is involved in a law - suit in Ja- maica.

Among the applicants was there not a better choice? Was there not a more suitable com- pany for the honor of getting the first loan? The Fairfield choice made it appear as though the govern- ment might be lax in granting all its loans. Then, of course, just recently the NDP alleged that Fairfield was paying lo wwages. Officials have a good defence. They can say that the com- pany has a novel product--it makes heavy work socks out of waste material. It can provide up to 100 jobs which otherwise wouldn't be available. And lo- cal people have invested sub- stantially in the concern. Also, there has been a shake- up in the organization. And lo- cal leaders and a government representative are on the board of directors. But still the choice was bad. And this is regrettable if it ad- eed affects the program at a For the industrial loan pro- gram is a good one, and one that is needed. OTTAWA REPORT Rynard Continues Anti-Smoke Drive By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Parliament Hill's lone voice of warning has again been raised by Dr. P. B. Ry- nard, urging Canadians to be- ware of what he calls our coun- try's No. 1 killer--the cigar- ette. The Conservative MP-physi- cian-Holstein breeder from Oril- lia won headlines some years ago when this column reported his advice: "Don't smoke--but if you must, smoke cigars or a pipe." Even women? Yes, he as- serted with emphasis, even the girls and women of Canada should smoke cigars rather than cigarettes. 'And why not? asked world traveller Rynard. He has seen this practice in foreign lands, and does not consider that a cigar or better a_ cigarillo, looks unladylike or out of place between made-up lips. But he does anticipate that we would at first find this unaccustomed sight strange. ACCEPTS CAUSE PROVEN "Since I mentioned this mat- ter some years ago in the House of Commons," said Dr. Ry- nard in his address to the House, "mounting evidence has some to light to prove the exis- tence of a link between cigar- ette-smoking and cancer of the lung." Last year the British College of Physicians and Surgeons came out "flat-footed," he said, to express its conviction that this link exists, This year the Canadian Medical Association has '"'started war" on smoking and lung cancer, he added. The president of the CMA has gone so far as to state that the dis- ease of lung cancer has reached "epidemic proportions." Just three years ago, Dr. Ry- nard urged in Parliament that the federal department of na- tional health and welfare should set up a study program. More intense research might produce a harmless cigarette, he thought. But neither the Conser- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Some people judge the future by the past, and others are op- timists. A weak brain and a little learning form an incompatible mixture that causes the head to swell. Before accepting the offer of an enemy to bury the hatchet, make certain he hasn't an ax to grind. A doctor says overeating will make a person grouchy. Yes -- and so will having to undereat. That a four-leaf clover doesn't always bring good luck is at. tested by a man who, when he bent over to pick one, was stung by a hornet where his pants were tightest. From a current broadcast commercial jingle: '"'missing in your instant coffee." Now how could anything be missing IN something TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press June 11, 1963 The Canadian government passed the Military Service Act, which allowed conscrip- tion of unmarried men of military age, 46 years ago oday--in 1917. During the First World War Canada raised-a military force such as nobody had foreseen. En- listment was voluntary un- til passage of the act, which had raised much bitter con- troversy. Only about 11 per cent of men sent overseas in that war were conscrip- ted. 1488 -- James III, King of Scotland, was assassinated. 1947 -- Mackenzie King marked 20 years as Cana- dian prime minister.

Waldo Monteith, nor the Con servative prime minister--him- self a patient of Dr. Rynard's-- took sufficient note of the phy- sician's plea to consider that the health of the nation needed the protection which he ad- vocated. Now Dr. Rynard is turning towards his political foes, the Liberal government, and urging them to heed his warning which his own party ignored. A pro- ram of education must be launched, he stresses; and the best place to educate Canadians is at school, where 500 Cana- dian boys and girls start smok- ing every day of the school year. CO-OPERATION URGED "It is high time," he said, "that the federal department of national health and welfare YOUR HEALTH ta, et and groups people of cons oe not Fy is their right to know, but so thing that may save them sickness, suffering and probab! death." Almost while he was speaking } . in Parliament, another Ontario doctor told the convention of the Canadian Public Health Asso- ciation in Winnipeg that smok- ing causes premature births, This affliction, often resulting in the death of the infant, oc- curs nearly thrée times as often among mothers who smoke a package @ day as among non- smoking mothers. Cost - conscious Canadians should also ponder the cash price of smoking cigarettes. The bill for smokes last year in- cluded the staggering sum of $368,100,000 for excise Bg and excise duties paid to the federal government alone. In ad- dition, smokers paid the f sales tax, provincial taxes, mu- of course, the cost of the cig« arettes, ; What's $368,000,000 a year? It is 53 times the amount by which ~ we slashed our aid to under- developed nations last year on the grounds that we "could not afford" to give such aid. Patients Should Tell Of Tensions By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD How far should a doctor probe into a patient's personal af- fairs? Further, perhaps, than is always easy or comfortable. The thought is brought to mind by some remarks in Med- ical Times by Dr. Leonard T. Moholick, supported by David S. Shapiro, chief clinical phy- chologist at Bradley Medical Center. Emotional problems can have all sorts of bearing on physical ailments. That's hardly a sec- ret, But embarrassment, or sometimes feelings of guilt, can lead many patients to keep their emotional turmoil to them- selves. Dr. Maholick cites the case of a woman who had chronic headaches for 15 years without telling her physician that one of the great: problems in her life was an intensely frustrat- ing sex relationship. Job frustration is a common situation. A person may not like his job; may feel his advance- ment is too slow. He may have been overlooked in favor of a younger man. Even if advanced, some can- not take the responsibility in- volved. One instance I recall pertained to a supervisor who could not bear to reprimand or fire an employee. He was in emotional turmoil -- tension, elevated blood pressure, totally miserable. Yet his conscien- tious record in his previous job warranted his advancement. With the facts, it is possible to do something. Without them, there isn't any way of getting at the problem effectively. Some patients, the article points out correctly, are "sur- prisingly frank." Others feel they have no right to say any- thing that involves anyone else. This is not a correct attitude. We all have to live with other People, and some problems are pretty much bound to arise at times. Perhaps some people will be more at ease if they are re- minded of the doctor'5s pledge to keep to himself whatever he, learns of a patient's private af- fairs. This is part of the Hip- pocratic Oath. Knowing these things can be desperately im- portant in treating the patient. If you are bedeviled by some Personal or family matter, tell your doctor with the assurance that it will remain a secret. Just getting it off your chest may be of some help. Or he may be able to suggest some solution that has not occurred to you. Or in some cases he may be able to suggest counsel by a specialist of one kind or am other, perhaps not a medical | specialist, but someone skilled , in handling family problems. \ Dear Dr. Molner: I have had ' ptosis of my left eyelid all my | lite and I am now 29.
