She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1963----PAGE 6 Either Produce Facts Or End Vague Charges It may only have been coincidence that Ontario Liberal leader Winter- meyer was once more shouting ebout Ontario being in the grip of the Mafia, just as there was re- newed talk about a general elec- tion in Ontario. It's an old subject for Mr. Win- rmeyer. It was his speech in the Legislature, it will be recalled -- a speech full of horrendous hints about the existence of a powerful and far-flung crime syndicate in the province -- which led to the appointment of a royal commission to investigate the matter of organ- ized crime in Ontario. The investigation did not un- cover any crime syndicate of the kind feared by Mr. Wintermeyer. Actually it revealed comparatively little that was not already known or suspected by police officers, newspapermen and others in or close to the law enforcement pro- cesses, It was worthwhile, however, because it helped to show weak- nesses in those processes and re- vealed the troubles that ensue when political influences interfere with police work. Mr. Wintermeyer had the oppor- tunity then of presenting all the evidence he and his colleagues had collected about the organization of crime in Ontario, But it turned out that what he had to offer was largely rumor, innuendo or sus- picion. He had no -- or did not present -- evidence of a master organization, Mafia or any other, directing the activities of Ontario's criminals, Now he is back on the subject. But once again he is vague. We supported Mr. Wintermeyer in his original demands for a thorough investigation, An ingiry was needed, if only to clear the air. But now, unless he is prepared to produce substantial evidence to show that the Mafia or some other organization is master - minding Ontario crime, he should get off the subject. Vague repetition becomes boring. Big Questions Remain The signing of the agreement to equip Canadian weapons_carriers with American nuclear warheads puts an end to the uncertainty over Canada's place in the Atlantic and North American defence set-up, but it does not settle the argument over the basics of Canadian defence pole icy. Just as important as the new agreement, therefore, is the under- standing -- expressed by Prime Minister Pearson in a question-and- answer period following the signing -- that the Canadian government, as well as NATO itself, is making "a most complete review" of defence policies, including the nuclear role. There are still the side issues. The Bomarc, for example, is a more effective anti-aircraft weapon when it carries a nuclear instead of an orthodox high explosive warhead. But it is still a poor weapon, limit- ed in range and effective only against conventional aircraft; it is not an anti-missile missile. And it is still being produced in the United States on a limited basis only be- cause it is comparatively cheap, now that development costs have been paid. The two Bomarc installa- tions, one in Ontario and the other in Quebec, are an expensive but not significant addition to Canada's air- defence capability. The old questions of Canada's role in NATO defence also remain. Part of the Canadian air division in Europe is based in France -- but President de Gaulle won't permit U.S. nuclear weapons to be stored in France. The Canadian brigade in Germany will now have nuclear warheads for their Honest Johns -- but according to testimony given the parliamentary defence commit- tee, the rest of the army's equip- ment is in atrocious condition. The big question, however, con- cerns the fundamental concept of Canadian defence: Can Canada make a better contribution to do- mestic and allied defence with a nu- clear - equipped force than with a strictly conventional force ? The next big question: How much mil- itary hardware can Canada afford? These are the questions which must be answered by the study men- tioned by Mr. Pearson. Conserving Resources All too often, conservation is viewed as prohibition of use -- a miserly hoarding of resources against some unforseen shortage. It is not that at all. It is, rather, a philosophy of sensible, enlightened use; a doctrine of wise harvesting to ensure that shortages do not occur. : An illustration may be provid- ed by deliberations going on in the whaling industry. Drastic measures for the conservation of stocks of certain species of whales in the Ant- artic were recommended when rep- resentatives from sixteen countries attended the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in London recently. It appears that blue whales have been so reduced that the pro- portion of them in the catch has She Oshawa Times TY. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The hump-backed whales, fished in the South Atlantic and South Pacific, are also possibly on the verge of extinction. The Commission agreed that, except for a small area where a race of pigmy blue whales were found, blue whales should not be hunted at all, and all hump-backed. whales south of the equator should be protected. Inde- pendent observers on the vessels are to see that these decisions are en- forced. The oil of the blue whales is probably its most valuable pro- duct, being the finest for precision instruments, watches and so on. Their flesh is used for human con- sumption in many countries, and also for pet food, while fertilizers are made from the bones and offal. Little is wasted. If the whaling industry is based on effective conservation policy, it can go on indefinitely, perhaps for ever, supplying food for protein- starved countries. Without such a policy, the world loses another re- source, Bible Thought Blessed is the man that walketh not 'in the counsel of the ungodly. -- Psalm 1:1.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An amazing en- gineering feat has provided the busy Oxford Circus with an umbrella of steel which will carry the traffic across this intersection at a height of three feet, six inches above the road- way. The structure was made nec- essary by the London Trans- port's project of building a new underground railway sta- tion to serve the new line run- ning from Victoria station to Walthamstow. This large con- struction project, now under YOUR HEALTH construction, will take three years to complete, and during that period all Oxford Circus traffic will pass over the un- usual steel umbrella which has been completed, and is now in operation, The steel umbrella is in effect a four-way bridge, running east and west on Oxford street and north and south on Regent street. It covers the whole of the intersection, and enables the workmen to go ahead under- neath it with the work on the new underground - railway sta- tion. Construction of the umbrella bridge, which has cost $360,000, was completed over the long Spicy Foods Can't Take Ulcer Blame By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Moiner: I am fond of red pepper seasoning, chili peppers, horseradish, strong on- ions, etc., and hardly a day goes by that I don't have some of them with my food. I have done this for years and thus far have had no ill effects, but some of my friends tell me I probably will end up with ulcers. What do you think?--Mrs. 4.D.M, I don't agree with your friends. The cause of ulcers is not known, but if it were hot seasoning, many more peopie would have them. It's true that a person with ulcers should avoid such condi- ments -- in fact, even milder ones. But there is a lot of dif- ference, between causing an ulcer and irritating one. Just wiggling a sore finger can be irritating; that's a lot different from saying that wiggling a finger causes it to be sore, We do know that liot season. ings, used too long and to steadily and in too large amounts can cause gastritis, or irritation of the stomach mem- brane. It is quite another thing to say what amount is too. much Some stomachs are tough; oth. ers may be unusually sensitive. Mexican food, for instance, is highly seasoned but people eat it all their lives without dis- tress. Doubtless, however, there are some Mexicans who, for comfort, have to limit them- selves to a blander diet. I believe I would take your friends' forebodings about. ul- cers with a grain of salt--or a grain of chili powder. If you were going to have ulcers from this cause, you would have them by now. If you encounter signs of gas- tritis--a sense of pressure or fullness in the pit of the stom- ach, heartburn, nausea, or the like--stay away from these strong conditments entirely tor a' time, then return to them cautiously and use smaller amounts The purpose of seasoning is to enhance flavor, Used to ex- cess, it destroys the real taste of food, and you are the loser. Dear Dr. Molner: You have mentioned injections for 'van- cose veins, Almost "three years ago I had this done. The doctor Said it would last only six months; that blood would flow through again. It did. In fact the condition is worse. Why didn't mine wither and harden? Is ligation the answer?-- Mrs. J.K. Injections are still used in suitable cases. They may not be practicable in all, and the choice should be based on which method will best serve the patient, Your doctor foretoid what would happen, Probably the vein was too large for per- manent results to be attained. Yes, ligation (or more likely, stripping, or complete removal of that one vein) is probably the answer. Dear. Dr. Molner: :How do penicillin help protect the heart against recurrence of rheumatic fever?--Mrs. S.G, Penicillin is an antibiotic and suppresses bacterial infection, Bacteria (streptococcus) cause Theumatic fever. Hence monthly use of a long-lasting type of penicillin gives contin- uing protection against strep infections (such as sore throat, tonsillitis, etc.) which could cause a flare-up of the rheu- matic fever. ¢ bank holiday weekend. All trat- fic was stopped at 1.30 p.m. on the Saturday, when the con- struction engineers took over. By 6.30 a.m. on the Tuesday, the whole of the bridge was in place and ready for traffic over v to be resumed. For two or three weeks prior to the building operation, the materials and the huge steel beams which support the bridge were assembled in nearby streets, every piece being placed exactly where it could go into the assembly line with- out loss of time. Over 200 work- men went to work as soon as the traffic stoppage was put into effect. And right on time, they had fitted together the 245 pieces of this giant jig-saw puzzle and the bridge was open- ¢d to the waiting traffic, The time schedule was. car- ried out meticulously as a re- sult of the minute-by-minute schedule which had been set up by the engineers. Four ap- proach ramps lead to the bridge which covers the. inter- section. The bridge weighs 600 tons and covers 2500 square feet. The steelwork consists of girders, and the road surface on the ramps and bridge is made of steel panels, 25 feet long by six feet wide, covered with a non-skid road surface. The final result looks very much like the deck of an air- eraft carrier with a road sur- face on top. Twenty-five concrete cylinder foundations had been sunk into the road before the weekend tush of building began. A shuttle service of low-loader trucks carried the bridge sec- tions from the streets where they lay in readiness to Ox- ford Circus, where they were hauled Into position by two cranes. LIGHTS INSTALLED Then began the work of in- stalling new traffic lights, is- lands and street lamps, and laying pedestrian crossing at cach end of the four aproach ramps. Underneath this umbrella, a circular underground railway ticket hall will be constructed, with a pavement staircase en- trance from each of the four corners of. Oxford Circus. This is one of the businest road junctions in London, and 100,000 passengers used its under- ground station daily.

Mays MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE Consult @ Member ef the Oshawa & District Real Estate Board OTTAWA REPORT Mature Attitude On Refreshments By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"Happy days are here again," wrote one Parlia- mentary correspondent describ- ing a reception for the press hag by Prime Minister and rs, Pearson, This was the first time Ot- tawa's press corps had been en- tertained at the official sum- mer residence of the prime minister, sited on the' shore of Harrington Lake, just 14 miles from the Parliament Buildings. But the happiness was in duced by a more subtle "'first": hot - summer thirsts were quenched at option with some- thing longer, stronger and cooler than the famous cups of coffee offered by a previous prime minister at another mid- summer reception a few years ago. The Pearson government is moving away from compulsion and towards adult-like individ. ual self-determination in the matter of alcohol refreshments. Otttwa's glossy but "dry" new air terminal will soon be li- censed to serve drinks to those thirsty travellers) who want something neither hot nor soft --thus with common sense put- ting Canada in the same league of maturity with Britain, France, U.S.A...and other grown-up nations. At the same time, considera- QUEEN'S PARK tion is being given to the res- toration of comfortable and le- gal drinking on Parliament Hill, where for nearly half a century the imbibing of alcohol has not been prevented, but has been compelled to be on an uncomfortable and illegal] basis A bar is being planned in the reconstructed West Block of the Parliament Buildings. RESEARCH HONORED The long - ago minister of Agriculture who launched Can- ada's beneficial program of ag- ricultural research, and who in- itiated our successful system of Dominion -experimental farms, is to be honored more than three - quarters' of a century after he assumed that portfolio in the cabinet of Sir John A. Macdonald. In announcing the calling of tenders for the new department of agriculture headquarters here, Public Works Minister Deschatelets and Agriculture Minister Hays said the new head office. will be called the Carling Building, in honor of Sir John Carling, a native of London, Ont., who was minister from 1885 to 1892. The building will cost about $11,000,000 and will soar 12 storeys above the surrounding fields of the Dom- inion Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Boost By Premier For Mr. Grossman By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO--In the __last-min- ute flurry before calling the election Premier Robarts had a cabinet "shake-up." It was one of the most in- nocuous "shake-ups" in history. Three ministers changed around, And Bryan Cathcart, whose retirement had been an- nounced, officially moved out. The main reason for the changes seemed to be to give Hon. Allan Grossman a further endorsement. Mr. Grossman was criticized some weeks ago when it was discovered his wife held stock in a Toronto hotel. At the time Mr, Robarts de- fended him. IN SHAKY POSITION The minister, however, is in a somewhat shaky position in his home riding of Toronto St. Andrew. And he is a man to worry. And the further recognition by the premier of boosting him from the LCBO chairmanship to full ministerial status as min- ister of reform institutions would tend to show that Mr. Robarts has full faith in him. This might be a somewhat re- mote reason for making cabi- net changes. But in this e.ec- tion every seat is going to count, And you can be sure that if anything can be done to help it win, the government will do it. This illustrates how the gov- ernment has a big edge in the election. ss It is in power, It has the au- thority. And it has the re- sources, It can put up bridges and buildings and promise high- ways. UNEQUAL CONTEST This makes for a somewhat unequal contest and is far from perfect. But that is the way it is, and it is unlikely to be changed. Hon, James Auld is likely to make a far better Minister of TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 20, 1963... Gen.

Canadian «families who badly need a $4,000 home will be in- terested to learn that the gov- ernment is buying 44 three-bed- room prefabricated houses complete with fibreglass insula- tion and electrical and mechan- ical equipment, for $4,208 each. The government is also buying 171 one- bedroom homes or $1,660 each, These homes will be erected by the purchasers, who will be Eskimo families in the far north. The government is also providing a five-class- room school at Cariada's north- ernmost community, Tuktoyak- tuk, at what seems the dis proportionate cost of $322,000, COSTLY DOGHOUSE "Lovely doghouse--$40" 'Is. advertised in an Ottawa newspaper. Ottawans are asking: "Is this ex-prime minister Diefenbaker's dog- house?" Not the political doghouse into which the Canadian voters put him, but the famous one-bed- room home of his now dead golden 'retriever Happy-- possibly the only doghouse in Canada which boasted gad of wall-to-wall care pet.

The reason many families can't live within a budget is that they never expect to have unexpected expenses. "Dancing Changed Her Life." -- Title of magazine article. As the years go by, life will change her dancing. Even if spanking children does them no good, the punish- ment shouldn't be withelmed, as an enormous amount of -satis- faction is derived by the spank. er. Usually instead of great minds being in the same chan- nel, it's a matter of little minds in the same rut. Among those highly critical of Dr. Stephen Ward for his hav- ing lived off the earnings of women are men whose wives are working to support them. READERS' VIEWS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC Dear Sir: Having read the article "'Look- ing for Thrill? Try Highway 401", Aug. 13, I take exception, as an OPP constable who pa- trols Highway 401 an average of 200 miles a day. The cars in the immediate vicinity of our black and white cruisers are the best-behaved drivers in the world, I have moved up on what I thought was a tailgating occurrence, but by the time I got close enough to obtain evidence, it was ob- vious I had been wrong -- the car was well back from the front car, I have pursued what I thought was a speeder, but when I was close enough for a fair pace, required for evidence, I was obviously mistaken, ay he was right on sixty. I will admit his brake lights did come on, and the exhaust fumes spurted from his tailpipe as I moved up, but it must have been a short in his tail-lights. We put out our radar accord- ing to politica] directive -- in full view, level ground, biack and white cruiser, trunk lid down so as not to obscure the red dome light, and a sign !wo miles previous stating "Speed" Limit Radar Enforced", Aad there just are no speeding mo- torists on Highway 401 or any highway where we establish' this radar arrangement. I guess they must have heard of a speeder who was. fined $3 and $2 costs -- he was observed and paced at night. I- bel.eve the newest requirement will be that we patrol at night with our dome lights on. The taxpayers pay for a de- terrent type of law enforcement on the highways to protect a driver from himself and the ac- tions of others. He is being cheated and is becoming condi- tioned to high speed and ocher dangerous driving practices. Why? Because only the offend- ers complain to their Members of Parliament, as the result of a fine, the result of a prosecu- tion from evidence obtained by an unmarked cruiser or a nid. den radar, Let more voices be raised in support of law enforcement ad- ministered consistently and ef- fectively. Our children have more to fear from traffic con- ditions than from a third world war. D. E, JORDAN Whitby. VISITED OSHAWA Dear Sir: My wife and I are back in our home town (Salford, Eng- land) after a three - months stay in Oshawa, thanks to our son and his wife, Leonard and Betty Riley, 742 Lakeview ave. Our impression of Oshawa is wonderful, Now we miss your shopping centre, bandshell con- certs and your parks, also the daily strolls with our youngest grandchild along Park road south, Stone and Cedar, Phillip Murray and Oxford streets. We recall our trip to Niagara Falls and the Thousand Islands, also the picnic with members of Oshawa and District Old Coun- try Club to Centre Island, Toronto. We found the people very friendly and made many friends. Lake Vista is a nice place but would look finished with side- walks, curbs and storm sewers. Then the people may give the finished look to their drives and gardens, Stones and peb- bles look unsightly, and must cause a lot of damage to cars, Now we are back home. The things we saw are memories long to be retained, Oshawa compares with any places we visited, We enjoyed every minute of our stay. MR, AND MRS. T. H.
