"Bhe OPstyawn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ce Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBERF 1, 1963--PAGE 6 Old Age Pénsion Boost To Mean Tax Increase The federal government is wise 'to accede to the demands of the 'provincial premiers and the Com- mons opposition that the $10-a- month increase in the old-age pen- sion be divorced from the govern- .ment's contributor pension scheme. 'Prime Minister Pearson now says that Parliament will be asked to approve the increase -- and the tax increase to pay for it -- soon ,after Parliament reconvenes on Sept. 30. The linking of the old-age pension increase to the contributory scheme was one of the fuzzier ideas in a generally fuzzy scheme. The basic 'old-age pension should not have to -vely on the questionable financing "methods proposed for the contribu- "tory plan. The increase would also "either be denied to pensioners living 'in a province which did not accept 'the federal scheme, or would be a direct subsidy paid by people living outside that province to those in it. 'Either situation would be inequi- table. Mr. Pearson is also wise in. stressing the point that the in- erease must be paid for, and it can only be paid out of the money pro- -wided by taxation; there is no magic 4 way of plucking money out of the air to pay for any service, welfare or anything else. There can be doubts, how ever, about the wisdom of some of the government's other expenditures; one can question, for example, whether the Canadian tax- payer is getting full value for every dollar he contributes to the federal treasury. In any case, the $10-a-month in- crease will cost an estimated $116 million in a full year. The flat-rate pension, payable to everyone aged 70 and over, now is financed from the old age security fund, which in turn is financed by a three per cent tax on manufacturers' sales, three per cent of corporation taxable 'income, and three. per cent of personal taxable income up to a taxable income, and three per cent of personal taxable income up to a $90-a-year limit. Ultimately, of course, the individual taxpayer pays the whole amount, either as a con- sumer or as a payer of income tax. One or more of the three contribu- tions to the old age security fund will be incfeased, but the precise details probably will not be known until] they are revealed to Parlia- ment. Lake Violence Again The dynamiting of a Canadian "wessel at Chicago last Saturday -eannot be dismissed, as just an- other in the series of violent acts in a dispute between unions. It is, rather, the punctuation mark to an giready-stated question: How can (Canada be considered a sovereign nation, when her ships and their erews can be viciously attacked in simply because a union with its headquarters in that nation is at 'odds with a properly constituted Canadian union? The Norris report on Great Lakes wiolence gave at least a partial answer to that question, but the federal government has hesitated to make the statement implicit in the report -- that the government of -Canada, drawing its authority from Parliament, is supreme in its own 'house. Mr. Justice Norris placed the 'blame for the violence squarely on the Seafarers International Union. -sand described the Canadian boss of the SIU, Hal Banks in the hardest 'terms. He suggested that a trustee- ship be imposed on all the maritime unions involved, and that the possi- bility of laying criminal charges be investigated. The federal government hummed and hawed, and finally decided against any "hasty action"; Par- liament would be reconvened if the situation deteriorated. Well, the situation has certainly deteriorated. thejsense of evidenced by the officers of the Canadian Maritime Union and the Cahadian Brother- hood of Railway is also involved. Why the reluctance to deal with the SIU? Why is Hal Banks not deported? Must Cena- dian lives be lost in U.S. Great Lakes ports before the government shakes off its lethargy -- or timi- dity? = It is true that Canada can only make representations to the U.S. government about the incidents in American ports. But there is much that the government can do in Can- ada to force a solution of the situ- ation -- action which would have the solid support of every demo- cratic union in the country. Slowpokes On Highway the more poorly surfaced roads with steeper grades in other parts of the province. In mountainous areas they become a real menace, While people in too much of a hurry are the main offendérs - against the rules of traffic safety 'on our highways, people who udawdle on high-speed roads can also be a menace. There is no doubt that they frequently cause acci- 'dents by piling traffic behind them «-- accidents that they probably are "not even aware of. Sometimes the slow drivers are "not dawdlers. It's simply that their "machines are incapable of keeping "up with the rest of the traffic, © particularly when they are carrying "or pulling heavy loads.

In parts of the U.S. the law pro- vides that a trailer driver can be ticketed for impeding traffic if more than six vehicles pile up be- hind him; he must pull over to the road shoulder to allow accumulated traffic to pass him. Any such pro- vision, however, should~cover the possibility that the pileup . was caused not by- the excessive slow- ness of the trailer driver but the excessive speed of the drivers be- hind him. * time of SOUR a Fits >v, Ad, < i 7 T\ Sewer OTTAWA REPORT ambling friendly « Aubrey sim | mons, was "the Little Panda." Lack Of Nicknames In Cold Commons By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Whatever hap- ae to that fs, Parliament 11 custom - of coining nick- names for the popular or non- conformist denizens of our na- tional legislature? Prime Minister Lester Bowles Pearson is universally referred to as 'Mike"'----the nickname of unexplained origin which was ined on him 47 years ago.

And thereby goes a political pundit's best friend. The poll has been criticized by many in the past. But to anyone trying to get the feel of an election it has been invaluable. You might be able to sense trends. But the poll gave you the backing to know whether you were really on the track. In the early stages of the 1951 campaign, for instance, Liberal Leader Walter Thomson was making a lot of news and noise, but you felt he wasn't getting anywhere. And you found you were right. The first poll showed the Lib- erals had better than 40 per cent of the electorate, The second showed this had dropped to 32 per cent--within two weeks. In this election, of ail elec- tions, there won't be this -in- dicator. So perhaps we may see some very off - beat speculation-- even more so than usual. The press has never been con- sidered so important by the pol- iticians in this campaign. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Rev, George Telford was in- ducted as the new minister of St. Andrew's United Church. Jimmy Bartlett, diminutive marathoner from Oshawa, won the annual Olympic Club mara- thon at Hamilton in the record two hours, 36 min- utes and 35. seconds. Building activities during the months of July and August amounted to $20,360. Rev, F. J. Maxwell, former pastor of St. Andrew's United Church, unveiled a memorial vindow im the church. The memorial was in honor of the late James D. Storie. C. H. Millard, president of Local 222, UAWA, resigned his position because of more press-' ing activities with the CIO. Vandals broke into St. George's Anglican Church and destroyed chairs, benches, win- dows, lights and damaged the organ, ' The Police Commission co- operated with the city council in the matter of allocation of land for junk yards. Thousands flocked to the Osh- awa Fair for Young People's Day. W. A. Dryden, manager of the Royal Winter Fair, declared the fair open. Thieves made an unsuccessful attempt to stea' the car of Ern- est Marks but succeeded in making off with Dr. G, Bird's Buick, while he was visiting a patient. és Rev. W. R. Stringer was in- ducted as pastor of the Christ Anglican Church,on Hi' croft street. Oshawa school pupils had a total of $20,118 in the Penny Bank at the end of June. Capturing seven firsts, three second anc two third prizes, Edward Brown captured the Eaton trophy at the Fall Show of the Pickering Horticultural Society. Mrs. C. A,' Sterritt was runner-up. The frankest of them will tell you that this time their biggest purpose in holding meetings is to get news play. Each of the two major parties has buses hired on which the press is travelling. And leaders of all three parties are holding press con- rerences galore--even going to some centres just to meet the press. Television also they consider will be of great importance. At the time of writing it Is too early to say just how every- one may make out on this, There has been only the one telecast, with Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer and two cab- inet ministers. But at least there was a sur- prise for some people here out of this. LOOK TO DEBATE The major TV interest is centering on the debate Sept. 17. And many people have felt-- particularly those who have not seen Mr. Wintermeyer on the hustings--that Premier Robarts would over - shadow him in it. The Liberal leader, however, was strong in his first appear- ance--and now there is wonder if he may not overshadow Mr, Robarts. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "What do you with your old clothes?" asks the Salvation Army. Some of us use them in order to comply. with the' law. Blessed are the peacemakers, and also the trouble-shooters -- they will mever be unemployed. A lot of people are spending money as if it had an early expiration date on it.

Angus Mac- lean of P.E.I. had a habit of walking along the parliamen- tary passages so slowly that he was almost stationary; he in- evitably became "Slo-mo-shun," after the record-breaking speed- boat of those days. The old-world courtesy of Her- bert Wilfred Herridge, of Kott- enay West, B.C., won him the nickname 'Burlington Bertie'; but today's rather sad cold MPs call him plain "Bert"--or occasionally "the Squire of the Kootenays."

Frequent Douches Often Unnecessary By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please dis- cuss feminite hygiene. There is much varied opinion among women, and also between my husband and me. I was taught by my mother that a woman should douche after her period. My husband Says a woman should douche daily the s as she bathes externally. 7 I am of the-opinion that some of these douching habits can actually be harmful.--Mrs, G.F. Most women (or anyway a good many of them) douche too recently. It certainly is not required daily as one would bathe. It is not necessary for: health, nor for daintiness. ¥ I had my way, people would wash their hands oftener and forget about some of the "'in- vented" procedures, douching being one. I do not say that douching is not useful. It is, at the proper time, as a corrective procedure, not as a routine one, I most de- cidedly know that pills, or other medications are important when the occasion requires them. But that does not mean that I fi along with the idea that pills must be taken all the time. ically, the vaginal Physiol the troops in British East Africa. Following his de- feat in 1948 by the National- ist party of Dr. D. F.

Medications, at times, may heip the eyes, if something is wrong. Some people (especially those in advanced years) may need a little dilute hydrochloric acid each day because their stom- achs do not provide enough. These are examples, There could be others. But the douche isn't hevrul unless something is wrong and needs correcting. The common trichomonas intestation may need medication, or there can be invasions of other micro-or- ganisms, Yet there is no shot- gun treatment. If something is wrong, you must know what it is in order to use a douche to combat that particular problem. Nature has ways of taking care of the situation normally, Douching, just because some- body says 'you should" can m- deed be harmful. However, per- haps not seriously so. I'm not inclined to say "don't" to those women who have been ng ir up from girlhood to believe they. "should." All the same, douching for no special reason can upset nature's routines, in- terfere with the normal.pH (or acid balance) and do some harm and no good. Don't use a douche unless your physician says you should for some specific purpose. Dear Dr, Molner: Can any- thing reduce the breasts?
