That question is settled. We have made our decision." What he means is that he has made his decision: Neither the Anglo-Saxons nor the Soviet Union shall have any voice in his nation's future; France will lead a "third world" to offset them. De Gaulle's dreams of grandeur have made his memory vague. Twice already in this century, in two world wars, France has confided its exis- tence to the Anglo-Saxons. France durvives because of the blood shed by the English-speaking nations in those two wars; because Britain and the Commonwealth, standing alone before the Nazi might, re- fused to admit defeat and, with the later help of the United States fought on to victory; because the dians United States, after the defeat of the Nazis, went to its aid with tremendous economic assistance. De Gaulle can speak with bravado today because, whether he likes it or not, he remains under the Amer- ican nuclear umbrella. His own tiny nuclear capability would not scare even a fourth-rate power. Nonetheless, even the more mo- derate West Europeans admit that there is an uncomfortable aptness in at least part of the doctrine preached by de Gaulle. The U.S. umbrella is appreciated -- but it is also feared, because the handle is so firmly in U.S. hands, and in U.S. hands alone. It is a powerful weapons for compulsion as well as for protection, and the new vigorous Europe feels it, too, should have some sort of grip on the handle. The Kennedy administration's lik- ing for bullying tactics -- a liking now becoming well known to Cana- has done much to strengthen this feeling. Protecting Resources An expert witness has now con- firmed the seriousness of the threat of chemical spraying to Canadian wildlife. Dr. A. W. H. Needler, de- puty fisheries minister, told a Com- mons committes last week that damage to Canadian fisheries stocks from insect-control spraying pro- grams is just.as great at the mo- ment as the damage from industrial contamination of Canadian waters. Dr. Needler was testifying before the Commons food and drug com- mittee which is conducting a special inquiry into the hazards of insec- ticides and pesticides. A committee member had asked for a comparison of the relative dangers of chemical pesticides and industrial wastes. In the long run, Dr. Needler noted, the greatest threat of all comes from industrial contamina- tion. This is rather obvious. The chemical spray threat could be ended in short order, with more vigorous official action. Industrial pollution is a more difficult prob- lem, because of the economic factors involved, and because its effects are often slow to maké themselves evident, There is no excuse for pollution of any kind; let us make that clear. Pollution means the poison- ing or destruction of basic resour- ces -- resources which are vital to the well-being of everyone. and in which everyone therefore has a vital interest. We can get along without some industrial products, but we cannot live very long as civilized human beings without un- polluted soil, water and air. Dr. Needler told the committee that more widespread knowledge is needed of the fact that current laws prohibit anyone from adding deleterious substances to the water. We suggest that the quickest, most effective way of spreading this knowledge is by more stringent enforcement of the laws. The at- tendant newspaper publicity would swiftly make all but a tiny, illite- rate minority aware of the fact that the municipality, the province and the federal authority intended to be tough about it. Most Effective Medium Editor and Publisher, the news- paper world's weekly trade journal, reports on three speeches made recently by business executive. It is with pardonable pride that we reprint some of the remarks. David L. Yunich, president of Macy's New York, probably the largest department store advertiser in the United States: "Retailers must invite people -- they must attract people to their stores. The most powerful way of doing this for any store is through good and effective advertising in interest- ing and widely-read newspapers... The newspaper strike proved con- clusively that newspaper space is one of the most valuable franchises a store owns. The newspaper is the backbone of the retail advertising structure."

No other media that I know of can give you the co-opera- tion of the dual job of selling mer- chandise and building a solid image of your stores that comes anywhere near the newspapers in the towns you serve." On the same day, Carl Uren, as- sistant advertising director of Chev- rolet, one of the largest national advertisers in newspapers, told an awards luncheon in New York: "We regard the newspaper as the most local, retail and urgent of the media we use. Consequently, we feel that it is most effective in reaching the prospect at that point in his buying cycle when he is about ready to trade for a new car... Because newspaper readership is nearly universal, we know that at the same time we are reaching that mass audience, we are reaching the single, most likely group of prospects we have -- present and satisfied Chev- rolet owners." Enough said. Bible Thought Jesus Christ gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil world. ~ Galatians 1:4. Christianity bears a relation to the world like that of a lifeboat to a sinking ship. There is only one change for the world promised in Scripture: for the worse. In Christ, there is Life for them that perish. 'FANCY MEETING YOU HERE' REPORT FROM U.K. Build Farm Land From Waste Dust By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times PETERBOROUGH, England --What seems like a fantastic scheme is being undertaken near Peterborough. It is known as the "Peterborough project." It is designed to convert up- wards of six million tons of dust thrown out by electricity gener- ating stations into areas of fer- tile farming land. ; The scheme has as its basis YOUR HEALTH the depositing of this dust in worked-out brick pits located some two miles from Peter- borough. It will. then be cover- ed over with deep layers of top- soil' collected from nearby sugar-beet dumps, this soil hav- ing been washed from the sugar beets in the early stages of their processing into sugar. The expectation of those who are in charge of this scheme is that it will transform depress- ing, derelict soil into crop-bear- ing land with landscaped sur- Emotional Factor In Level Of Pain By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes the threshold of pain to vary with individuals? What can a person do to increase it? --G.A. Pain involves many factors-- psychological, emotional; as well as physical. Only to a mod- erate degree can we tell why it varies from person to person. The emotional response, how- ever, is extremely important. A football player or a boxer often notices his bumps and bruises more afterward than when he is getting them. A kid at a circus doesn't notice the hardness of the seat, but watch him squirm in church or when he has to study his lessons. Pain in the middle of the night, especially if we don't know what causes it, can be frightening and can seem to be twice as bad. © Watching a show, we may not notice irritation from our glasses, but sitting quietly, do- ing nothing, we may feel them pressing annoyingly on the nose. And a-host of other ex- amples. : The: aspect of pain becomes intensely important in the care of some cancer patients. Fre- quently. when they learn the full truth, and become resigned to it, they bear the pain with little difficulty, yet it had seemed far worse when they were in doubt, and were worried and suspicious. Many such patients feel better when taking mild tranquilizers, which relax their nerves and the pain subsides accordingly. All surfaces of the body have pain fibres: Eyes, nose, mouth, skin (although not the nails and hair). Internally some areas do and some don't have pain re- ceptors. The™lining of the ab- domen and of the chest (pleura) do, and so do blood vessels. The type of stimulation alters the reaction. You can pull on your skin (such as your cheek) without pain, but an equal pull- ing at the intestine would be painful. Yet cutting the skin hurts, but. cutting into the wall of the intestine does not. Pressure from within causes pain. An infection of the skin, and accompanying swelling, may not hurt much. But a boil, or some infection below the sur- face can be very painful--like an abcessed tooth--because the pressure is confined and there is no "stretch" to relieve it. Even a pimple in tender areas where the tissues cannot ex- pand can be excrutiating. I doubt that anything can be done to change the physiological . sensitivity to pain, but under- standing the cause, and know- ing that the more you can put your mind on something else and thereby suffer less, are qd very important ways to "raise your threshold." The Indians used to bear all sorts of torture, buoyed by their pride, But they can howl as well as anyone if they bang a thumb er step on a thorn. Vietnamese Buddhist priests sitting in silence while letting themselves be burned alive is one more example, terrible -as it is, of the immense ability of emotions and the mind to -with- stand pain. Or take the pain of childbirth which terrifies a woman who is fearful if it, and is borne without a whimper by a woman who isn't afraid. Pain is a complex experience, not wholly physical by any means. Dear Dr. Molner: Does the light from a flash bulb harm a baby's eyes, especially if he is looking right at the camera? --Mrs. R. T. No. Light from the flash bulb does not contain harmfully strong rays, and it is of very brief duration. Note TO H. T.: Yes, elastic stockings are generally helpful for varicose veins, but there are eases requiring more specific treatment, such asligation (ty- ing of the vein) or stripping (removal of the vein). roundings, It would work a transformation on the country- side, and at the same time have a decided economic value. BIGGEST JOB This is believed to be the big- gest job of its kind ever attempt- ed. In preparation for the recep- tion of the dust from the gen- erating stations, five million cubic yards of earth are being moved within a period of five months. The amount of mate- rial involved would form a car- pet 30 feet wide and one foot deep over the 880 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats. Within a radius of three and a half miles, it is estimated, there will eventually be capa- city for the deposit of 52 mil- lion tons of dust, residue from the production of six million kilowatts of electricity over a period of 20 years. The project began with the development of a number of power stations along the Trent Valley, using Midlands- low- priced coal. The ash produced from these stations is expected to rise to 3,400,000 tons in 1964 to more than six million tons in 1970. Already about 2000 acres of derelict land are being re- stored by filling in old gravel workings. But further and larg- er disposal sites are needed. Hence the "Peterborough po- ject," the largest yet under- taken, and aimed at bringing another 2000 acres under cul- tivation. HIGH-SPEED WORK The focal point of the work now in hand is the construction of a reservoir one and a quar- ter miles in circumference. This will supply water for mix- ing into the dust, and it is this slimy mixture which will be poured to fill the clay-pits. Most of the earth is being moved by motor scrapers, 45 feet long and costing $90,000 each. They dig, carry and spread 40 tons of earth each trip. They can travel at speeds up to 40 miles an hour. When the scrapers are. finish- ed, probably about the end of October, the work of transport- ing the dust from the generating stations will begin. Trains of Specially designed wagons will be used to carry 10,000 tons a day. In due course,. the fields of dust will be levelled off, ready to receive the deep layer of top soil from the beet factories to complete the job of creating, in place of the unsightly clay-pits, broad fields rich in fertility which will become agricultural land after a lapse of time. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Oct. 21, 1948 An illuminated scroll was pre- sented by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce at a dinner to William A, Wecker in recogni- tion of his leadership in civic affairs and his recent investi- ture with the Order of the Brit- ish Empire. Howard Beamish, member of the Ontario County Flying Club, was awarded the A. G. Storie Trophy in recognition of being. the club's most proficient pilot during 1947-48. More than 13,000 feet of storm sewer was being laid in the Westmount district. Centre Street United Church, formerly the Oshawa Christian Church, observed its livih an- niversary when the services were conducted by its pastor Rev. F. J. Whiteley. The Oshawa Skating Club se- cured the services of Miss Nan Speirs of Scotland as its profes- sional for the. winter season. Hon, George H. Doucett, On- tario Minister of Highways, offi- cialiy* opened the third Mill street bridge in Brooklin. The first bridge was built in 1840. Bernard Howard, formerly of Oshawa, and once organist of .First Baptist Church, was ap- pointed treasurer of the Dow Chemical Co. of Canada, Lim- ited, Sarnia. The possibility of adding fluorine to Oshawa's water supply was discussed 'by the. Oshawa Board of Health. Hon. Russell T. Kelley, On- tario Minister of Health, was the guest speaker at the luncheon gg of the Oshawa Rotary ub, At a meeting of the Ladies' Section of the Oshawa Golf Club Mrs. H. P. Hart was elected president, Mrs. Walter Butler, secretary, and Miss Doreen Dob- bie, treasurer, for the coming year. Ernie Parsons of Oshawa was elected 2nd vice-presid®nt of the Ontario Curling Association at its 75th annual meeting. W. Gordon Bunker's elevation to the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite with the title of Honorary Inspector General was announced by George Mart at the annual ladies' night dinner of the Scottish Rite Club. Ne Theterave:ter SE Enrolments Reach Bulging Record iy Canada's halls of learning are bulging at the ivied seams again as most universities re- port record enrolment for the 1963-64 year. In a continuation of the trend of recent yeats, more students are in attendance at every in- stitution except where enrol- ment is deliberately held down. Almost all report crowding in varying degree. "Each year is a record for us," says President Hugh Saun- ders of the University of Man- itoba. That is the trend gener- ly. Tuition fees are up in several institutions, but most of them have held the line this year, No significant changes in students' living costs are reported in a school-opening Cross - Canada survey by The Canadian Press, Reasons for the continuing college-population explosion -- mushrooming beyond the bounds of experts' earlier pre- dictions -- differ around .the country, Factors include the general growth of population, a greater awareness of the value of a degree in getting a job and, in some cases, easing of entrance requirements. On the other hand, some be- came more selective. Acadia University at Wolfville, N.S., tightened up to avoid over- crowding but came up with 1,300 -- including 25 Chinese stu- dents--compared with 913 last year. Memorial University at St. John's, Nfld., thought it had the crowding problem beaten for several years when it moved into a new $20,000,000 campus two years ago but now finds itself congested with registra- tion up by 200 to 2,200. - Memorial's student growth-- almost doubled in three years-- is ascribed to a' genera] im- provement in Newfoundland's pre-college facilities and heavy provincial government subsidiz- ation of teaching courses. Half the enrolees are taking educa- tion courses. The trend elsewhere is for arts and science to predom- inate, in that order. Engineer- ing runs third, on the upward cycle again after a slump around a decade ago. MANY LEARN RUSSIAN However, preference varies from campus to campus. Engi- neering leads at the University of Waterloo at Kitchener. Psy- chology and philosophy courses are most popular at young Lau- rentian University at Sudbury. University of British Colum- bia has 1,000 persons enrolled for its steadily growing Russian class--largest in Canada. McMaster at Hamilton started a course in Italian to count to- wards a degree this year, En- rolment of 20 was double what was expected. In another innovation this year, Sir George Williams at Montreal started teaching some of its courses such as economics TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 21, 1963... A contract between the government of Canada and the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company to build a trans-Canada railway was signed 83 years ago today-- in 1880. When British Col- umbia joined confederation in 1872 it demanded a rail- way joining all sections be- cause of fear of American aggression in the northwest and the need for eastern markets. The through line was completed to the west coast with the driving of the last spike on Nov. 7, 1885. 1901--The Duke and Duch- ess of Cornwall ended their visit to Canada. 1805--Nelson defeated the French fleet at Trafalgar. in French. But by and large no startling changes in curric- ula are reported. PENALIZE FAILURES A new practice undertaken at the University of Manitoba will penalize persons repea a course flunked the year. There will be a one-third surcharge on the fee for the failed course--believed the first of its kind in Canada. i Where fees have been in- creased, the boosts generally range between $25 and $80 on 2 year's tuition. As samnles, Loyola~at Montreal Utes rd ence by $30 to $430 while and commerce went up by $70 to $410, ne The University of Montreal with almost 12,000 students jacked up fees by an a' $75. Humanities now costs and medicine $600, , But the big universities of Toronto and British Columbia,. with student bodies of 10 and 14,720 respectively, kept charges the same as last Toronto was one of tho porting it was crowded overcrowded--about tenor across Canada, 'We | building to keep pace with pansion," a spokesman said. Good Russ Farm Would Bankrupt N. American KRASNODAR, Kuban, U.S.S.R. (AP)--While Premier Khrushchev was lecturing farm- ers on their shortcomings in a neighbor province, a group of correspondents went to see one of his good farms work. The farm, in the Kuban River Valley of the north Caucasus, is called the Kuban. This is rich land and the Kuban is a good farm by Soviet standards, It has a lot of machinery, rela- tively good buildings and a pleasant climate. But this farm would bankrupt a North American community. The place swarms with work- ers. It takes so many of them to run the farm that no North American 0 perator could fi- nance it. The layout of 32,000 acres employs 2,400 men and women. This correspondent has found the same ratio on other farms. The Kuban was not exceptional. MAINTAIN NUMBERS When I asked Ivan Siderenko, manager of the farm, what he intended to do with surplus la- bor when mechanization began to approach the American stan- dard, his reply was: "Mechanization is to facili- tate labor, not reduce the num- ber of laborers." He seemed to be in open con- flict with Khrushchev. Farmers on the collective work usually seven hours a day. They get a salary in cash and also food and feed for the few livestock each is allowed to keep. During the busy season in spring, summer and fall they work 10 hours a day or more. By Soviet standards this farm was well mechanized. It has 77 units ranging from seeders and harvesting machinery to corn cutters and pickup forks for lift- ing sugar beets into wagons. A pronged scoop with a con- veyer helt was gobbling up a pile of sugar beets and loading them into a truck. Four women pushed the beets on to the pick- up machine with their bare hands. One man--or woman -- could have done it with a beet fork. WAGES CITED Wages range upward from 70 to 80 rubles a month--officially $77 to $88. This is for ordinary field workers. Machine drivers get 120 rubles a month. Besides, workers get an additional 25 per cent of.their pay in food or animal feed. Women get the same pay as men, but all upper level jobs are held by men. SMART WOMEN .,. have their carpets and uphol- stery cleaned 'The Safe Way' DURACLEAN 728-8518 The farmers also have small plots of jand they are allowed to: cultivate. On about an acre, each can keep a cow and a calf, a pig and piglets, a dozen sheep and all the chickens he wants. They sell the produce on the open market, Nearly 'half the cows in the Soviet Union are on these little farms. Premier Khrushchev is trying to get the farmers to work harder on the collectives, and give up their little tracts. The plan isnt' making much head- way. BUYS CANADIAN This year Khrushchev is spending over a half billion dol- lars to buy wheat from Canada and Australia because Soviet farmers didn't produce enough. Yet every day the papers re- port grain is being wasted. In the virgin lands, grain is rotting on the ground. : Farmers there complain they haven't enough machinery, but thousands of harvesting ma- chines stand idle. Somehow, the farmers didn't get around to re- pairing them, or they couldn't get spare parts. Izvestia warned as early as Aug. 28 that the harvest was proceeding too slowly and losses were mounting. Pravda reported Aug. 7: "On many farms Bash- kiria and Kuibyshev and other oblasts (between the Valga and the Urals) heaps of grains are waiting to be cleaned and moved to elevators. Some of it has already rotted." Problem? No trucks, In this rich Kuban area, the correspondent saw stacks of un- shelled corn lying in the yards of elevators, partly covered by canvas, the rest open to rain. Ears on the bottom were spoiled. On railway sidings around Moscow, hundreds of tons of tomatoes and other fresh veget- ables and fruit rotted while shops in the city had no tom- atoes to sell. Fresh vegetables are limited in the state stores largely to cabbage and carrot. Distribution is disorganized. Part of the problem, as Khru- shchev himself admits, is that many big state and co-operative farm managers just don't seem to care. Western delegations visiting the farms--they are al- lowed to visit only a few--find br farm workers care even jess.
