-- She Oshawa Fimes ~ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited ~ . 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L,.Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1963 -- PAGE 6 *Agricultural Malaise In Productive Nations " 'The Pearson government to date has given no indication of upset- ting the agricultural subsidy apple- cart. It has not revealed how ar- dently -- if at all -- it will pursue the agricultural redevelopment and assistance program which was the most imaginative piece of legisla- tion brought down by the Diefen- baker government, and which offers the hope of removing at least some of the inefficient producers and thin-soil farmers from the land. Mr. Pearson and his agricultural minister did -- talk vigorously but move with extreme caution. That is the pattern of govern- ment relations with agriculture in the West. There is a curious reluc- tance by government to be anything other than Big Brother to agricul- ture. The result has been enormous surpluses in North America, and a good deal of bickering between nations in Europe, where agricul- ture is even more tenderly protect- ed, in some instances, than it is on this side of the water. The Economist says, in its latest issue: "Now that the 'scientific revolu- tion' in agriculture has caused farm output in the developed world to outstrip commercial demand for food, the biggest commercial ad- vantage will go to the country which takes steps to. persuade and help its economic farmers to move into other occupations; but no deve- loped country is willing to do that, and the free world's agricultural malaise' arises from the inevitable impermanence of any system de- signed to try to keep them in pro- duction against the dictates uf the market." Canada has an instrument for the "gradual removal" of its least econ. omic farmers in the ARDA legisla- tion designed by former minister of agriculture Alvin Hamilton. To make ARDA work, however, re- quires the co-operation of the pro- vinces, That may be difficult but the Pearson government should keep on trying; and it should not ignore ARDA, simply because it was a Conservative program. Push And Popularity Rev. Martin Luther Jr., the Negro minister who has been the out- standing figure in the desegrega- tion struggle in the United States, has accused President Kennedy of failing to provide leadership and to live up to his campaign promises. Justified or not, it is a criticism that is being voiced more and more frequently in the United States, even though. public opinion polls show that Mr. Kennedy's popularity is now at an all-time high. Political analysts in the U.S. -- and we do not include the critics found on the far right -- do not question the President's sense of urgency, but feel that he has not communicated this sense to the American peope. He has not ex- plained his program or why he thinks it so important. One corres- pondent wrote: "If he, himself, does not become more actively involved, he can hardly hope for the nation to do so." A Washington wisecrack has it that the President's 64 campaign slogan should be "Let's get the country moving again, again." The Commonwealth comments: "Parti- san or not, the remark points up the contrast between the confident, aggressive candidate of 1960 and the President of 1963, whose deal- ings with Congress have made him a sober, if not baffled, proponent of changes nobody seems to want." A sluggish Congress has been blamed for lack of action on the President's domestic program of school aid, urban renewal, mass transit, civil rights and tax cuts. But there are some suggestions that Congress is reflecting rather than frustrating the will of the voter. The U.S. is prosperous and finds it difficult to understand arguments about crises to be expected in 10 or 15 years if.no action is taken now. What the critics are saying is that the President has the ear of Ameri- can people as no other spokesman does; he is immensely popular but has made no real effort to trans- late this popularity into support for his programs. Apt Terms For Groups A popular word game in editorial offices a few years ago was the in- venting of words to cover groups of people -- a "chatter of clubwo- men", for example, or a 'roar" of sports fans. It was based on the terms used for groups of animals and birds, and was a pleasant bit of verbal play over a shift-end coffee. It was re- called a few days ago when a west- ern newspaper became curious a- bout the wildlife classifications. The common terms were easy -- "colony" of ants, covey" of part- ridges, quail and. other birds, "drove" of cattle or swine. But not #0 common are such terms as these: Ascenion of larks; bale of turtles; barren of mules; cete of badgers; charm of goldfinches; clowder of wildcats; crash of rhinoceruses ; dule of turtledoves; dray of squirrels; The Oshawa Times T.

Other Editors' Views MORE TO LOSE (Hamilton Spectator) It is one of the deepest tragedies of the present upsurge of Quebec discontent, and even belligerency, that French-Canada seems to as- sume there is very little sympathy with its claims among its more af- fluent neighbors in so-called Eng- * lish-Canada. It is almost impossible for anyone outside the historic French-Canadian province to under- stand how they could logically risk the collapse of Confederation in the belief they could retain their cul- tural identity in a vast North American sea. On the face of it, they have much more to lose than have the so-called English Cana- dians who could, bitterly though they might resent it, come to some arrangement on this continent for a tighter relationship with our neighbors south of the line. ea 'REMEMBER, THIS IS NO ORDINARY EGG' REPORT FROM U.K. Overseas Students To Get New Centre By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- As a step to- ward providing more accommo- dation and facilities for over- seas students studying in Lon- don, a large new international students' centre is to be built in Park Crescent, facing the beautiful Regent's Park in north central London. This centre is intended to be a self- supporting institution, providing both residential and social fa- cilities for students from other Commonwealth countries. Its cost is estimated at $2,700,000. Details of the scheme were announced in London by the Earl of Euston, chairman of the International Students' Trust YOUR HEALTH Council. This Council, which {s sponsoring the ambitious proj- ect, is planning to conform as much as possible to the fine - architectural character of the neighborhood, and will retain the original. Nash facade of the crescent on the site to be de- veloped. OFFICE BLOCK The new centre will be known as International House. It is hoped to have it built and ready for occupation by the fall of 1964. Much of the cost of its future maintenance will be met on a long-term basis by the rents from an office block which is to be erected on the same site. The International Students' Trust Council has met with a generous response in its appeal Transfusion Like Fill-up With Gas By SOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What effect does blood received by transfu- sion have on the physical and mental make-up of the recipi- ent? Are the effects on children miore marked than on adults? Would the use of plasma have any effects not found in the use of whole blood?--J. P. M., Jr. Effects on mental or physical make-up? None. Blood is a vita! material in the intricate but completely logical mechanism of the body Blood nourishes all parts of the body. It carries away wastes. It fights off infections, It heals wounds. It's like gasoline and a car. You can use 57 different kinds of gasoline but it won't change a sports car into a truck. If you happen to buy some "bargain" gas, you may not get as much power. You may get too much carbon in the en- gine or gum in the carburetor. But the regular, good brands of gas won't do this. It's the same with blood. A blood bank won't accept dona- tions from people whose. health isn't good--something for their own sakes, and in the case of some few diseases, for the sake of being sure that the blood is of normal quality. Blood is necessary just to keep the requisite volume of fluid in the circulatory system. The mineral content is of value. So is the protein content, (If all we need is blood sugar, we can transfuse glucose.) When a person has lost a lot of blood, such as from an acci- dent, he will go into 'shock' and die unless we give a trans- fusion. For him it is of princi- pal value because of its fiuid volume and-the protein it con- tains. Plasma ,roughly speak- ing, is the liquid part of the blood, with the cells. (such as red and white) removed. It is possible to give larger transfusions of plasma than of whole blood. However, whole blood may be preferable when the recipient has anemia and needs more red cells. Sometimes a special con- centrate, with more than the usual number of red cells, may be given. Children and even babies respond nicely to transfusions In cases of babies born with jaundice and some other con- ditions, it may be necessary to withdraw their own blood and replace it completely, This is also done with small children who are endangered by mas- sive infections. Replacing their blood with that of people who have acquired at least partial immunity against such germs can give this immunity to the recipient. After a month or two or three, all the transfused blood will have been cast aside by the body and replaced by new blood it has created. But by then the emergency is past. Dear Dr. Molner: Is kelp, taken every day in tablet form, harmful or healthful?--V.S. Neither, so far as I am con- cerned, I don't know anything harmful about it. Neither do i know why anyone should need it. NOTE TO W. C. W.: Reiter's syndrome is a rather compli- cated condition involving arth- ritis, inflammation of the urethra and sometimes of the eye. Not much is known about it. GALLUP POLL for the funds to make this cen- tre possible. More than $300,- 000 in outright or covenanted donations has already been re- ceived, and che government has agreed in principle to contrib- ute a sum of $165,000 towards the cost. The Earl of Euston, in mak- ing the announcement, said that there was a mounting in- flux of overseas students into Britain, augmented by the var- ious Commonwealth and other scholarship schemes. There are now more than 60,000 such students in Britain. As a result, the existing accommodation was being swamped, and there was a continual growth of so- cial and psychological problems because of this situation. Said the Earl of Euston: "What happens here to these students, who are tomorrow's leaders, is of vital importance to us all for the impressions they form during their stay in the United Kingdom. We need help to prevent an accumula- tion of loneliness, frustration and perhaps bitterness." WILL HOUSE 135 When completed, the Interna- tional House will have hotel ac- commodation for 135 resident students, facilities for 1000 low cost meals a day and an assem- bly hall with a seating capa- city of 350. David Bosanquet, director of the Students' Trust, said: "We must still collect $2,- 000,000 to exercise our option to purchase all the buildings re- quired, for only when this has been achieved will the lease be assigned to the trust."

Gallop Poll interviewers re- port that 35-per cent of Cana- dians believe unemployment and the unemployment insurance fund are the greatest single problem facing Canada today. This is, however, a drop from 1959 when 40 per cent named unemployment. Second main problem today in the public mind is the nuclear arms -- situation, which was named by nearly one in six people. Four years ago, when this same trend question was asked, there was no menticn of *nuclear weapons. The question: 'What do you feel is the greatest single problem facing Canada today? Our Greatest Problem Unemployment and - unem- ment insurance, 35 per cent Nuclear arms; defence poti- cies; fear of nuclear war, 18 per cent Economy of the countr: . s- ing cost of living 9 per cent Political instability and un- rest; lack of good political lead- ership 9 per cent Other problems (Relations with U.S. trade; education; me- dical care; better farm ils etc.) 15 per cent Can't name any 16 per cent (Some named more than one) When citizens were asked which political party could best . handle the problem, again it was highlighted how close the two old line parties are in pub- lic favor.

Yiddish Dying Author Finds MONTREAL (CP)--The Yid- dish language is dying and with it the Yiddish theatre, says Herman Yablokoff, widely trav- elled author and actor. In 1934 there were 12 Yiddish theatres in New York City and 24 in Canada, he says. Now there are only three Yiddish troupes left, all in the United States. 'Fewer and fewer Jews are epeaking Yiddish, They all peak . English." In Israel, the only remaining stronghold of Yiddish theatre, half the population of 2,000,000 @re Yiddish - speaking immi- grants from Eastern Europe. But as Hebrew is the official language, Yiddish is considered foreign. Yiddish is a form of low Ger- man incorporating words from other languages and using He- brew characters. Aside from the fact that it employs the same letters and sounds, it has no relationship to Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament. Yablokoff says Yiddish immi- grants in Israel are learning to speak Hebrew and while Yid- dish theatre is still popular there it may eventually fade away. "The Hebrew theatre is grow- ing and is sponsored by the government, Of this I am proud, but it saddens me to know that © my own language may one day disappear " Yablokoff was featured per- former in his own Yiddish play, "My Son and I," in Montreal for a two-day run. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The pupils of Edouard Bart- lett, violinist, gave an excellent recital in Simcoe Street Unit- ed Church. Leah Garrow and Tom MacDowell assisted with vocal selections. Keith Wilson was appointed manager of the Marks Theatre. A painting of Hon. T. N. Gibbs, first warden of the coun- ty in 1854, and first reeve of Oshawa Village, was unveiled in Whitby by R. R. Mowbray, the county's oldest living ex- warden. James R. Holden, BA, who was ordained into the ministry of the United Church, was ap- pointed to the pastorate at Sharbot Lake. Mayor Alex McLeese was among those who assisted with the Community Night program at Northminster United Church on the occasion of its 10 anni- versary. Miss Jean Fox, public health nurse, reported 389 cases of measles in April and 330 in May. Eugene F. Gorman, member of the Crippled Children's Club, became the owner of a Chevro- let sedan when his ticket was selected at the Rotary Fair. City Council passed bylaw requiring owners to keep their 'dogs tied up during May, June and July. Oshawa led all the cities in the Dominion under 40,000 popu- lation in the number of loans - placed under the Home Im- provement Plan. Essex Lodge, Sons of Eng- land, was honored by visiting district lodges when George Wiggans and Ernest Jenkinson were presented with the jewel of merit. Attorney-General Hon. G. D. Conant was guest speaker at the Drumhead Service of the Oshawa branch Canadian Le- gion. Col, R. S. McLaughlin took the salute in the "march past". Miss Grace Versey, senior nurse. of the Oshawa branch Victorian Order. of Nurses, re- ported an increase of 702 visits during the first five months of the year, as compared with the previous year of 1937. East Whitby Council decided to impose a 30-mile speed limit* on Highway 2 from the Csh- awa Missionary College to the Union Cemetery. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Note to dieters who are try- ing to loss weight: A serving of rattlesnake meat contains only 220 calories. A man who got his hand caught in a job press while learning to feed it says - the power of the press has been vastly underestimated. "The world will last at least five billion years longer," says a scientist. Tut, tut, fellow -- this is no time for pessimism. Almost any old timer feels certain the federal government wastes far. more money thes days than it cost to run it 3 years ago. Add clever signs: On an .out- side church bulletin board: "What on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?" "Young people these days give security a priority far above that. of taking risks," says an economist. Well, maybe so -- with the marked and de- plorable exception when they are driving cars, _ world's OTTAWA REPORT Place In History For A Great Pope By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Obituary notices printed in newspapers tradi- tionally observe the old Latin motto, "De mortuis, nil nisi bonum"--meaning "Only speak good of the dead." But nowhere among the deservedly laudatory comments upon Pope John XXIII have I read the obvious prediction that history will excel even today' s high opinion of a good man's good life. Very few Canadians, even few of the half billion members of the Roman Catholic Church spread around the world, are invited to a private audience in the Vatican Palace, Despite the fact that I am what the late pope kindly called "one of my separated brethren," baptised into one of the breakaway Christian sects, I was honored by being received by him. In a conversation, one could quickly sense that, despite the trappings of majesty, he re- mained at heart Angelo Ron- calli, the son of a small farmer of Bergamo, in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Thus he was determined and able to bring "the brass" closer to "the grass," as no head of the Cath- olic Church has done for cen- turies past. ISSUES OWN COINS As well as being the spiritual ruler of 500,000,000 Catholics, the pope is also the temporal sovereign of the small independ- ent state of the Vatican City, an enclave in the heart of Rome. Like any other sovereign, he issues his own coins and his own Stamps. His coins, more freely circulated in the surrounding Republic of Italy than Canadian coins in the United States, bear his likeness and name on one side, and the words "Citta del Vaticano" and a depiction of the Saviour on the other. And again, like any other sovereign state, Vatican City has its own army. As well as the gendarmes of police, there is the famed Swiss Guard, still wearing its colorful uniform de- signed more than four centuries ago by Michelangelo. There is also the Palatine Guard and the Noble Guard with its two divi- sions--the "Black Guard" con- sisting of the nobility created by the pope and the 'White Guard" or Italian nobility. One sees members of all these corps on duty as one entered the pal- ace and progresss through its many halls. - In contrast to the pomp of uniforms and the panoply of a palace which is also one of the great troves of art at the simple tage te Ere' le taste 1ous habits of Pope Ji liked to walk about the he enjoyed window he delighted in out. attendant mene oe This 4 won for him among Romans perhaps irreverent but friendly nickname of "Johnny Walker. END OF ROAD . When the then prime of Canada had visited the V: can just after Cardinal calli's election as pope he asked his host what ings were on achieving great honor at the age of "How would you feel if you reached the top of the heap knew you were at the end the road?" replied the pope. His genuine warmth was ciearly shown by his friendly expression, which lit up @ face memorable for its un large features. The broad sash revealed his corpulencé, and was shaken up and down by his frequent hearty laugh. I remember he asked me how I had come to Rome from Can- ada. "I flew," I replied in my unfluent French. "Oh, like a bird?" he replied, enjoying his joke with a gust of laughter and iia eee _ flapping his arms like a bird's wings. "T like Canadians," the told me. '"'They are good and they never cause me = worry. And they love peace. That last remark illustrated one of his great wishes--for true world peace. A fair deal for the underprivileged people and po- pls of the world, and a restor- ation of unity within the Chris- tian Church were his other sincerely pursued and effeo- tively fought-for ambitions.
