Sy eR MR SEE AS | She Oshowna Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1963----PAGE 6 Sugar Price Questions Still Require Answers 'Opposition members of Parlia- ment have been expressing great concern about the steep rise in the price of sugar, and Justice Minister Chevrier has been dodging their questions, Prices, he says, are a provincial matter -- as if the only answer to the sugar question could be found in price control. * Price control is a dangerous in- strument of policy. One of its con- sequences, for example, must in- evitably be wage control. What Canadians want is a clear, authoritative exposition of the sugar supply situation and unequi- vocal evidence that they are not be- ing victimized by speculators. If the evidence shows that speculation has had any part in the price increase, they want action to prevent such profiteering in an essential commo-- dity. On this basis, the federal gov- ernment -- and only the federal government -- can act. A parliamentary investigation should reveal what has been hap- pening behind the scenes in the sugar market. And the government could enter into trade agreements which would stabilize the sugar supply, as far as Canada is con; cerned. Britain has managed to do this, with considerable success. - There is no reason why Canada cannot do the same. We do a lot of talking about help for the West Indies, for example; could not sugar be the start of a mutually profitable and far-reaching trade and assis- tance agreement? The limp answers provided by Justice Minister Chevrier have fail- ed to reassure the House that the matter of sugar prices has been considered as a matter of urgency. It may be that the publicized ex- planations -- hurricanes, crop fail- ures, increased demand and so on-- account for the price increase, and that there has been very little hankypanky. But Canadians need to know the facts, and Ottawa is in a position to supply them. Protecting Our Water " Canadians know far too little about their water supplies, mainly because there has been a lack of adequate hydrographic research. Canada is not alone in this lack, however-there. has been a world- wide lack of such research, partly because the world over men tend to ignore the prosaic but practical problems right at their feet while they concentrate on distant horizons and the breaking of the bonds of earth. Sooner or later, all men must realize that if their fundamental resources of air, soil and water or polluted, wasted or otherwise des- troyed, they die. And gradually the gaps in research are being bridged. The Great Lakes, for example, are the greatest single fresh-water resources in the world; the better part of a continent de- pends on them. Slowly, Canadians and Americans are recognizing the need to preserve this resource. * Ships continue to pollute the Great Lakes by dumping overboard oil sludge, ordure and garbage. The problem has been aggravated since the St. Lawrence Seaway opened the lakes to the world's shipping. Ship-Shore News points out that the major difficulty is the detec- tion of pollution culprits. There is little chance of seeing a ship dis- charge offensive material when it is miles out on the more lonely reaches of the Lakes, especially at night. The federal government Operates one ship, based at Sorel, Que., during the navigation season, to patrol the Seaway. An experimental aerial anti-pol- lution measure was started last summer. The Department of Trans- port operates helicopter patrols along the St. Lawrence from King- ston to beyond Quebec in the navi- gation season. A_ daily patrol operates along Toronto's lakefront. There are other anti-pollution measures being taken, but the total effort is still in its infancy. Much remains to be done. World Money Reform There has been increasing re- éognition in recent years that the free world's financialysystem needs a searching appaisal. Now the In- ternational Monetary Fund and its 10 largest member nations have decided to undertake a major in- vestigation which could lead to far- reaching reform. Vast changes over the last 20 years have exposed potentially se- rious flaws in the existing monetary structure. Past efforts to achieve significant reform have met op- position from many foreign central bankers and other advocates of the status quo. A network of defences has been erected as a bulwark against sud- den and periodic crises. But this piecemeal, largely bilateral, ap- proach does not necessarily offer the kind of enduring stability that the free world's economies need. It.seems premature at this point to consider creation of an entirely new international institution out- She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

These issues involve far reaching political decisions that might take years to resolve. There are obvious problem areas that deserve immediate attention, however. One is the question whether projected supplies of gold and reserve currencies will suffice for the future. Another is whether the U.S, dollar and pound sterling-- the only two key reserve curren- cies--can indefinitely shoulder the burdens that come with such' status. Aren't other strong cur- rencies, such as the French franc, now ready to accept such respon- sibilities? Some new corrective mechanism also must be found to help céuntries like Canada and the United States work gradually out of balance of payments difficulties without, at the same time, forcing them to take steps which could adversely affect their domestic economies, The ultimate purpose of any in- ternational monetary arrangement is to promote the economic pro- gress of the free world, facilitating international. commerce and the efficient yse of the world's pro- ductive resources. This is the prin- cipal objective of the studies that are about to start. Since the finan- cial field is one where the free world still manages to achieve con- tinuing co-operation (even France participates), there .is good reason to hope that genuine good may result, Briefly Noted Today's helpful hint: To avoid Paying taxes, don't earn any money and don't buy anything, @ mousTRY \ PUaeLEeSs i REPORT FROM U.K. BARNACLES Minister Attacks Segregation Move By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to For The Cshawa Times LONDON -- Sir Edward Boyle, Briiain's minister of edu- cation, has put his foot down heavily and firmly against all thoughts of racial segregation in the schools of this country. He was speaking at a meeting of parents of school children at the Grammar School in South- all, Middlesex. In his audience were English, Jamaican, Indian and Pakistani parents. Sir Edward went to talk to 'them because of a movement on the part of the English par- ents to have all the colored children from the West Indies, YOUR HEALTH India and Pakistan segregated in separate schools. And he nipped the movement in the bud before it got properly started. Most of the English fathers are employed in the town's prosperous light engineering in- dustries. But these industries have also attracted many col- ored immigrants, who have found work there quite readily. Out of a total population of 45,000 in the town, the colored population is estimated at be- tween 6000 and 8000, mostly In- dians and Pakistanis. PARENTS COMPLAIN This influx of colored people has resulted in complaints of depressed housing prices and Birth Procedure Doctor's Choice By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: If a woman insists, will her doctor deliver her baby by caesarean? There is no medical reason in my case, but I become utterly ter- rified at labor. Why shouldn't I have the right to choose? I haven't asked my doctor yet.-- MRS, L. L. I would refuse, unless there are good reasons for this pro- cedure. Caesarean delivery is warranted only when it avoids some greater danger. Under normal circumstances, regular delivery is safer for mother and child. The doctor's responsibil- ity is to provide the greatest safety for both you and the baby, and that's why you don't have the right to choose. I do think, however, that you might benefit by attending clas- ses, now offered in a good many communities, for women pre- paring for childbirth. These in- clude simple stretching and squatting exercises which con- dition the muscles for easier de- livery. Such classes are at- tended not only by women who want "natural childbirth," but also by those who expect the usual anesthesia and want to make the birth easier and safer for the baby. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a 19- year-old son who has acne. The doctor says it will go away when he is in his 20's, but it hasn't improved. I've used all sorts of creams. He also has a fungus in both ears which we are treating with boiled white vinegar and a grease I got from the doctor. Is that the right way--MRS, J. R. It's true that acne usually subsides in the 20s, but by that time a good deal of pitting and scarring of the skin sometimes takes place. | Therefore I'm opposed to the idea of just waiting for it to end by itself. There isn't any magic medicine that will cure acne overnight, but there are ways of preventing it from being to sever, and of avoiding much of the subsequent scarring. You can treat it at home at negli- ble expense. I cannot venture a guess as to the fungus, but I suggest tak- ing the boy to a skin specialist. With: certain types of fungus new medications are highly ef- fective. " Dear Dr. Molner: Re: Mrs, A. B., who finds herself waking up "just soaked." Perhaps she is sleeping in a nylon. nightie. I had that experience years ago, because nylon. doesn't ---- whereas cotton ab- sorbs perspiration. That might be her trouble--L, G. M. Yes, nylon isn't absorbent, and can be quite hot if it is closely woven. The last time I noticed a department store win- dow, I gathered that nylon nighties were still being made in flimsy form. So while you are correct in your suggestion, I also want to be sure that no- . body ignores the possible impli- cations of heavy night sweats on the basis that "'it's probably nylon." If in doubt, switch to some other fabric for a few nights. If the sweats continue, have a medical checkup. It oftn can stop some serious in- fection. alien habits. English parents compldin that the large number of children from illiterate im- migrant families are debasing school standards. Outside the school where the meeting addressed by Sir Ed- ward Boyle was held, leaflets calling for 'British schools for British children' were handed to parents, both English and colored. Police were on duty at the school doors. Sir Edward said that his gow ernment appreciated the na- tural anxieties of the parents. The daneer point, he beliey- ed, would reached if classes consisted of more than one-third colored children. He asked for the help of parents in coping with a difficult problem.. This they could give by allowing their children, if necessary, to travel to. schools outside their own district. AGAINST SEGREGATION Colored parents told Sir Ed- ward quite bluntly that they would not accept anything which suggested a drift towards the creation of segregated schools. They assured English parents of their readiness to co-operate in eliminating any causes 'for complaint. For in- stance, they added that the col- ored community had instituted evening classes to explain in- tegration problems to immi- grant parents, and to deal with the problems created by lan- guage differences. An official of the Southall edu- cation authority said: "We appreciate the parents" natural anxieties, and are do- ing everything we possibly can to overcome the difficulties that have arisen. But we cannot feel that the answer to the prob- lem' is to have segregation in our schools. "We are employing Indian teachers and organizing special classes to teach the immigrant children English before they move into the ordinary classes in the schools. Happily, none of the problems which seem to be upsetting the parents seems to have any effect on the children. The colored children and Eng- lish chiildren seem to associate quite harmoniously with each other." READERS' VIEWS WATER EXTENSION Dear Sir: ! feel that Mayor Gifford owes me an apology. Some months ago, I was asked to sign a peti- tion for water mains to be ex- tended on Rosslazd road east. To get.city water would cost me, personally, two thousand and ten dollars. To deepen my well would cost me about two hun- dred dollars. I didn't sign the petition. This negative action is the only action that I have ever taken to hinder the extension of water mains across my buffer zone frontage of 276 feet. My neighbors accused me of stopping them from getting water. The PUC told me that the' Planning Board and City Coun- cil were stopping 'the water main extension, I went to a council meeting last Monday to get more information. Mayor Gifford, I believe, saw me in. the spectators and brought me into his discussion of the motion in the following manner. He admitted that he didn't know why I was there, and then proceeded to warn that if "someone" was there to fight the extension, he didn't like that attitude, that to try to prevent neighbors from getting water just because of ownership of two lots was not "being neigh- borly". The } nplication was ob- vious, and was being broadcast to the radio audience. I asked to speak to City Coun- cil and 'was nefused by the chairman, Alderman Murdoch. Mayor Gifford continued ... saying that if I had been a'low- ed to speak, he would have tabled the motidn, because it wasn't fair for one side to be heard - when other side wasn't there to defend its case. This seems-like a paradoxical statement to me. Again, the im- plication was obvious, and quite unnecessary in conducting the city's business. Does Mayor Gif- fond feel that he has the right to publicly embarrass and criti cize a citizen who attends a council meeting, just because he assumes that citizen is hostile to the mayor's personal wishes? I would like to state categor- ically that I have at no time opposed the extension of water mains in my neighborhood and that I was not there to do so that. evening. More emphaticai- ly, amd using words perhaps familiar to the mayor, I further state that I have in no way, shape, or form, sought to in- fluence any person with a view to opposing the extension of water imans in my area, even , though. such extensicn is a great personal burden. These kangaroo court judg- ments are making this neighbor- ly attitude very difficult to maintain. D. S. SUGDEN. Oshawa MEMORIES WANTED D--r. Sir: I'd like to hear from any reader who has particularly vivid memories of tne last days of peace -- September 3 to 9, 1939. Any personal memories or stories would be appreciated fer inclusion in a forthcoming series article. If the reader doesn't want his 'or her name used, I'll respect their wishes in this matter. RAYMOND VARELA 40 Schofield Ave., B-ockville; Ont, Typical Southern Town Jolted By Negro Group CLINTON, La. (AP)--Wide- brimmed, western-style hat clamped tight on his head, the judge strode toward the ancient courthouse, a landmark of 1838 viatage. Someone. spoke to him, but OTTAWA REPORT state Judge John R. Rarick re- torted: "Hell, I'm worried about Negroes--I got no time to talk." For Rarick and about one- third of Clinton's 1,600 popula- tion, there was reason to worry. Provincial Chiefs More Durable Lot By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--When Sif Anthony Eden was Prime Minister of Britain, he told me in a con- versation at Government House here that the strain of high po- litical] office nowadays must limit its duration. No man, he felt, could hold down.the office of prime minister, nor indeed one of the top portfolios in the cabinet, for more than five years without seriously impair- ing his health. Will we ever again see one man hold the position of prime minister of Canada for as long as Mackenzie King It seems very unlikely that his Common- wealth record of 22 years in that office will ever be bro- ken. Perhaps he would never have been able to achieve that record in an unbroken stretch-- he suffered two interruptions. One was an insignificantly short and very turbulent period when Arthur Meighen replaced him in 1926; but then he enjoyed the tranquillity of being leader of the opposition during the five years of the R. B. Bennett re- gime. In the United States, the con- stitution has been amended to prevent any man standing for a third four-year term as presi- dent, apparently in recognition of the mental and physical bur- den imposed by the responsibil- ities of high office today. OLD PREMIERS NEVER DIE But while shorter tenures of high office appear to be prob- able in our federal field, it is interesting to see the records for durability as provincial pre- mier now being set up in Can- ada. Two premiers now in of- fice hold the record for their province; a third will soon achieve a record; a fourth rec- ord holder is active in his sece ond term in the federal Parliae ment; and a fifth record-holder is living in retirement near Ot- tawa in his 81st year. The most durable provincial premier Canada has known was George H. Murray, who held that office in Nova Scotia for 26% years from 1896 to 1923. Hon. Ernest Manning, the present Social Credit premier of Alberta, is enjoying his 21st year in that office. He already has outstripped the previous Al- berta record, which was the 8% years premiership of Hon. John Edward Brownlee. Mr. Manning is the senior provincial premier in Canada today. Second to Premier Manning comes Newfoundland's Joey Smallwood, who is in his 15th year of office as premier. He is the first premier of that prov- ince since Newfoundland en- tered Confederation, so must boast the record for it. British Columbia's Hon. W. A. C. Bennett is our third senior provincial premier. He is in his 12th year in office and there seems to be no reason why he should not hold office until Feb. 16, 1965, on which date he will surpass the present B.C. record of 12 years and six months held by Hon, R. Me- brag premier from 1903 to Premiers Manning and Ben- nett, both Social Crediters, head the governments of the only two provinces which have ever elected their party to power. In each province, that party has retained power ever .since first elected, thus permitting that party to boast uniquely that no Social Credit government has ever been turned out of office by Canadian voters. T. C. Douglas, now national leader of the New Democratic Party and a member of the House of Commons for his sec- ond period, boasts the record as Saskatchewan's most durable provincial premier. He held that Office for 17 years and three months, up to November, 1961, when he resigned to re-enter the federal field. The other living record-holder is Hon. John Bracken, who was premier of Manitoba from 1922 to 1943, when he also resigned to enter federal politics as leader of the Progressive Con- servatives, The average tenure of the premiership has been four years in Quebec, P.B.I. and New Brunswick; five years in Ontario and Nova Scotia; six years in Manitoba and Saskat- chewan; seven years in Al- berta; and a scant three years in British Columbia. QUEEN'S PARK inconceivable to a Jarge major- ity of the white minority which controls the economy and the government--as in other south- ern towns. A militant Negro group, jolt- ing the town awake to racial is- sues, raised the threat of change -- change that would leave no small town immune. FIGHT VOTER PURGE Perplexity and resentment prevail among the white resi- dents; Negro spokesmen vow to keep up their drive, apparently triggered by a voter purge of six years ago. The voter rolls of East Feli- cinia Parish (courty), of which Clinton is the governmental seat, were pur_ d after Henry Earl Palmer became the parish registrar. At that time there were about 1,500 Negro voters among the 4,100: persons on the parish's poll list. Palmer said that since the purge, 2,600 white persons and 119 Negroes have re-regis- tered, "W> don't discriminate," said Palmer, who, operates a dairy. "TI enforce thé law to the letter. I don't care if a thousand regis- ter. if they pass the test." Sheriff Arch V. Doughty said that before Palmer took office unqualified Negroes were regis- tered. "I doubt if some of them could even read," said Doughty. "There were so many of them voting in some wards they gummed up the works. They couldn't work the voting ma- chines."' Negro spokesmen protest that discrimination keeps them off th voter list. William Brown, 19 a college student from Tuc- son, Ariz., and a_ volunteer worker for the Congress of Ra- cial Equality, said he believed some points in the test are ad- ministe.ed illegally-to Negroes. MASS MEETINGS Brown and other C.O.R.E. workers began holding mass meetings in August to push voter registration at a time when similar efforts were jaunched in other Louisiana parishes. Rarick issued a re- straining order against demon strations here then. Salaries Tip-Off To Good Minister By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--It's a fact of life @round here that you usually can tell a good minister by the salaries of his staff. A good man sees that his em- Ployees are well paid. Two of the Lest ministers in the cabinet are Hon. Fred Cass, attorney-general, and Hon. Les- lie Rowntree in labor. Both are fairly new in their present posts. And it's no sur- prise to see that they're getting their salary scales boosted. Crown attorneys, for instance, now can get up to $15,000 a BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Nov. 8, 1928 Rapid progress was noted in the erection of Oshawa's new- est $50,000 Masonic Temple on the north-east corner of Centre and Metcalfe streets. H, S. Smith, chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Education, died at his home on Centre street after @ lengthy illness. His Majesty King George V gave his approval of an. alli- ance of the Ontario Regiment with the Welch Regiment. Major E. C. Hodgins was appointed to Second in Com- mand of the Ontario Regiment, to succeed Major H. E. Smith. Among the carrier boys who won prizes for bringing the cir- culation of the Oshawa Daily " Times to over 6,000 wene Hay- wand Murdoch, Basil Sawyer, Bill Mason, Art Tummer and Mel £mith. Presentation of the prizes was made by A. R. Allo- way. ' R. Cecil Bint was appointed manager of the branch store of Athlantic Pacific Tea Co. which was to be. opened here some- time later in the year. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 8, 1963 . . .

The limits were $4,- 200 to $9,000. SESSION PROPOSALS There wasn't much business done at the short session but the opposition did come up with a couple of proposals of some in- terest. NDP Leader Donald MacDon- ald said there should be a study made of larger units of munici- Pal government. He said that the great trend was towards bigger areas--re- gional planning amalgama- tions, schools districts etc. And he proposed that a study could bring about more orderly growth. : Also, of course, there has been a lot of talk in recent years in favor of building up the county system in local govern- ment. George Bukator (Lib.--Nia- gara Falls) said he hoped the government would get into the second .aortgage business. Mr. Bukator is a real estate man and was critical of the high cost of mortgage money. Two years ago Hon. Robert Macaulay was' talking quite strongly in favor of government mortgage loans. But nothing happened. There was a very successful second mortgage plan, of course, some 15 years ago. Suc- cessful in that a lot of money was loaned and losses were in- finitesimal. But some officials here have always been against the loans. They say that builders only tacked them on to the selling price of their houses. The talk about mortgages came up during discussion of the reappointment of the sect committee on consumer credit. It was agree this committee was doing a good job through publicizing cases of usury. 4% For Further ONLY 4 BONUS DAYS LEFT To Receive a Big ON YOUR SAVINGS FROM NOV.
