She Osharoa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario . T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1963--PAGE 6 "Remembrance For Those Who Do Not Remember Tomorrow and Monday there will be remembrance services for those who lost their lives in the wars fought by Canada. There is much to remember, and there are many people to do the remembering -- people who suffered the greatest of losses, people whose lives were forever changed by war, and people who shared, with those who gave their lives, the days of courage, fear, suffering and glory that were strung like dark beads on the string of conflict. There will be many others -- a growing number -- for whom the services will mean little or nothing. They will chatter their way through the two-minute silence at 11 a.m. on Monday, or will simply observe it with mild curiosity or bewilder- ment, These are the ones to whom the remembrance messages must be directed. One cannot talk about remem- brance to those who have never forgotten. It is the others who must be made to understand the meaning of sacrifice, the preciousness of the gift of life made by the dead. It is not enough just to say "it must never happen again". We must be quite clear about what "must never happen". What must be pre- vented are the conditions which make war possible. If those condi- tions are unavoidable -- and we do not believe that they can be -- then we must either submit or fight' again, as we have done in the past. One of the truths which come to us from those we now remember is this: There-are worse things than death. A Symbol In Question Prime Minister Pearson has said again that he will work to provide Canada with a 'new flag" by 1967. This is fine; there should be some decisive action to end the present confusion over Canadian flags and national anthems. But first, there should be a clear indication of the national will in these matters. First. it should be understood what is meant by a "new" flag. Canada for many years has had a distinctive flag -- the Red Ensign. Canadians have fought under the Ensign in three wars in this cen- tury, and the veterans' organiza- tions, the Royal Canadian Legion and the Canadian' Corps, are un- equivocally in favor of its retention as THE Canadian flag. It has re- ceived substantial official recogni- tion. Its use was authorized, and proportions set, by order-in-council dated July 26, 1892, Its use on all Canadian government buildings in foreign countries was authorized by order-in-council Jan. 26, 1924. Its use "wherever place or occasion may make desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag' was ordered Sept, 25, 1945. Other organizations have sup- ported the veterans' position, and public opinion surveys have shown a substantial popular support of the Red Ensign. Obviously, a substantial part of the Canadian population is going to be angry if the Red En- sign is replaced. We must know what steps will be taken to ensure that a flag which might be acceptable to only one province is not foisted upon the whole country. 'A flag is supposed to be a symbol of a nation's unity and pride. Mr, Pearson may find himself tied to a symbol of disunity. J. W. McConnell Dies One of the truly great figures in Canadian publishing, indeed, in Canadian life, died in Montreal this week. He was John Wilson Mc- Connell, owner of the Montreal Star. One could not write a history of the Canadian community in this century without repeated reference to him. Yet he was quiet and re- tiring. By the time he took over full control and direction of the Star in the late Thirties, he had come a long way from the Muskoka farm where he was born and the three-dollar a week job he got with a Toronto biscuit company. He con- trolled a huge business empire, was director of a score of companies, was sought after for business ad- vice. He gave up all his business interests when he took control of the newspaper, because he regarded his position as one of public trust and believed that the paper de- manded independence on the part of the owner. The full extent of his philanth- ropies will probably never be known, He did not want them publicized -- his own newspaper did not have a biography of him until he retired from active direction in 1953. But their extent may be judged from the fact that McGill University alone received more than $8 mil- lion from him. This man was time. a giant of his Stress On Technology ican Council on Education's annual meeting the other day. The emphasis placed on science and technology in our society is often deplored by humanists, but one would not expect the same complaint by a manufacturer of computers, the machines which have sparked a new industrial revo- lution. Yet that is what happened when Thomas J. Watson, board chairman of International Business Machines Corp. spoke to the Amer- Bye Oshawa Times T. L.

"In the blazing light of- man made comets, the continuing need for an appropriate' balance between science and the humanities has been blotted out," he declared. Watson said a_ recent survey showed that nearly all natural scien- tists in the United States could ex- pect to earn at least $5,000 or more a year immediately upon receiving a doctor of philosophy degree whereas fewer than. one-half of those who studied in the human- ities could expect to command such a salary. He also noted that the lion's share of U.S. federal research funds consistently goes to the physical and biological sciences, There can be no doubt about the tremendous scientific advances of recent decades and the impact they have had on our lives. Such achieve- ments should not overshadow the great importance of and. need for the humanities and arts. As Watson said, the fundamental need of every enlightened society is not merely knowledge of "the right," but an inspired will to do "the right" as individuals and as a society. 'IT'S MY FUTURE, REMEMBER?' WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Guelph Mercury: There is much justification for the com- plaints that are being voiced about the prevailing censorship on what the Canadian people can read. The banning of books by our customs officials and the department of national revenue has aroused the indignation of many book lovers. There are no doubt many in Guelph who from time-to-time have: sought to purchase books they have been told about by friends in other countries, or have read about in magazines, only to learn that its sale was forbidden in this country. The Canadian Authors Asso- ciation is fully justified in ask- ing that a royal commission be set up to investigate the censor- ship system prevailing in Can- ada. It seems strange that books that are readily | available in other countries in the Western world are banned from. this country. Financial Post: One amend- ment to Canada's Income Tax Act, .now before Parliament, demonstrates very clearly that the sooner Canada's antiquated tax system is totally revised the better it will be for everybody, including ministers of Finance and Nationa! Reveaue We refer to Finance. Minister Gordon's proposal to give the Minister of National Revenue discretionary authority to de- cide whether any transaction is a "dividend stripping" distribu- tion of corvorate surpluses The principal of ministerial discretion is bad. It is a return to the nightmare days before 1948 when our tax system was run on ministerial discretion and bureaucratic regulation, It is a retreat from the rule of law The practice is serious for business initiative. Business can plan ahead only with a_ full knowledge of what is permiss- ible and what is not. M'nisteria: discretion leaves the action, of business open to after-the-event decisions that what was done was illegal or taxable. This is not a defence of "divi- dend stripping" which is defined as any device whereby money is extracted -- legally -- from corporate surpluses by some route other than the normal, pe able, dividend payout. t is a declaration that any replacing of statutory provisions with ministerial discretion 's bad for the development of ef- GALLUP POLL ficient business planning and bad for the efficient conduct of government; What this retreat to minister- ial discretion shows, of course, is that Canada's present tax system is increasingly unwork- able. It is an admission of de- feat, It loudly proclaims that our tax system is in such a mess that the government can no longer draft legislation which is likely to work. No doubt the Finance Minis- ter's amendment to our ram- shackle Income Tax Act will go through. But a bad fix on bad leyisla- tion makes it plain that the Royal Commission on Taxation must offer much more than an- other complicated patch job. Nothing less than a really fresh approach to taxation will pro- vide a framework within which Canada can plan, prosper and expand, Kitchener Record: Canada is putting up 80,000,000 pounds of butter oil for open sale at 27 cents a pound. This is derived fnom butter which has cost the Canadian taxpayer 75 cents a pound to store unused for periods of sev- enal years. The idiocy of the butter sub- sidy strikes home when Cana- dians consider the $96,000,000 loss this transaction represents. The butter is purchased from the manufacturer at a floor price of 64 cents. A consumer subsidy of 12 cents makes it available to the wholesale trade at 52 cents. But for years more butter has been made than has been sold. The surplus has been accumu- lating in cold storage where storage and handling charges have increased the amount by something like 70 cents a case each year of storage, plus 10 cents for handling a case. Guelph Mercury: From time to time we see the need for more liaison in our city. While there may be good. co-opera- tion, between many depart- ments, it is evident there could be more between other groups. Often we see new noad sur- faces laid on streets and ave- nues, only to see the lovely sur- face nipped up a few weeks, or even days, later for the laying of pipes or cables. Had the two departments involved been in closer liaison with each other this could have been avoided. Opinion Divided Evenly On Diefenbaker As PM By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) The nation splits fairly evenly in support or denial of John Diefenbaker's expectation that he will be the third Canadian Prime Minister to return to power after a period in the Op- position. Nationally, 43% give him a good, or fair chance, at achieving his' publicly -- stated plan; 47% believe his chances are not very good or non- existent. He has a very high backing from members of his own Party as a whopping 80% of the Con- servative voters believe he has a fighting chance to get back. ; Total Very good 11% Fairly good 32 Not very good 23 No chance 24 Can'tSay 10 "100% PC's "100g, Even among Liberal voters, 20% think it cou'ld happen Mr. Diefenbaker himself pro- phesied he would be Canada's third Prime Minister to he re- turned to office after defeat, and Gallup Poll interviewers put the following question to the people: "History shows that in Can, ada, two out of eight prime ministers have been return- ed to office after being de- feated -- Sir John A. Mac- Donald and Mackenzie Kin. Mr. John Diefenbaker, lead- er of the Opposition, has said he plans to be the third. What would y say his chances are very good, fairly good, not very good or has he no chance at all?" N.D.P.

In this instance there is com- plete co-operation between the various tradesmen, with the re- sult,one group does not get in the way of the other, or undo what the other has just com- pleted. Sureiy then there could be similar liaison between various departments involved in the provision of city services. Plans for the laying of new pipes or cables are not made overnight. When ,one depart- ment sees the other involved in something like the surfacing of a road, they have time to get in touch with that other depart- ment and let them know what they themelsves intend doing. SHERBROOKE DAILY RE- CORD, one of the main weapons in the fight by the Quebec water purification board against pol- lution in our waterways is a comparatively recent regulation requiring owners of homes and cottages on lakes and rivers to provide adequate sewage dispos- al facilities for their premises. Taking a sensible approach to the situation, the board has not begun the phase of its campaign by taking court action against those who have not complied. It has embarked instead upon an educational campaign. Inspectors are continually at work throughout the province, Surveying cottages and. other water-side properties. Those without proper sewage disposal facilities are notified by letter, and told what is re- quired. Follow-up inspections are then made. A good example of how this works out is provided in the Brome Lake area. In July of last year, out of 232 buildings, inspected around the lake, 85 were found to have inadequate sewage disposal fa- cilities, The proper letters were duly sent out. A second inspection was made this season. It was discovered that 64 out of the 85 property owners noti- fied had carried out the requir- ed improvements. More letters will be sent out to those who have not yet com- plied, doubtless taking a ster- ner view of the matter than the first set of letters did Age But let no cottage owner im- agine that the letters may be ignored. The board has duly constitut- ed powers to enforce the sew- age disposai regulation. It has wisely chosen to use them with great discretion so far. How- ever, even official patience can wear thin. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 9, 1963... The first Intercolonial Railway train between Hali- fax and Saint John made its initial run 91. years ago to- day--in 1872. By 1876, the whole line of the Intercolo- nial Railway was open; touching on six Atlantic ports and extending - more than 700 miles. 1940 -- Former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain died UNITED KINGDOM OPINION 1 Tory Party Given Lift By New Prime Minister By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON - Now that all the fuss and bother about the method of selecting a successor to Harold Macmillan as prime minister has died down, it is apparent that Sir Alec Home's accession to. that post has put new heart into the Conservative party, and brightened its out- look considerably. He went heart and soul into his by-election contest in Kin- ross and West Perthshire, know- ing that the party, and particu- larly the Tory members of par- liament, are falling into line be- hind him. Even the two cabinet ministers who refuse to accept office in his government, Iain Macleod and Enoch Povell, have declared the': loyalty to the. party, and Mr. Macleod even went to far as to take the hustings to help the Conserva- tive candidate in the Luton by- election. Before he. left London to get into the by-election fights, it was apparent that the new prime minister dominated the party. There was not a single sign of any increase in the for- mer anti-Home squad led by Mr. Macleod and Mr, Powell. HOME HAD LEAD Martin Redmayne, the chief C_nservative Whip in the House of Commons, did much to solidi- fy party support behind the prime minister, when, in a most unusual speech at Bournemouth, he revealed the progress and re- sults of the consultations which had taken place during the battle for the leadership. As Chief Tory Whip, Mr. Red- n.ayne is usually the silent man behin the scenes. But he felt it his duty to let the party and the public know that it was quite wron;, to regard Sir Alec Home as a compromise candidate. He went on to tell the whole story of what happened when the leadership struggle was at its height., And he reveaied that in his consultations with all the Conservative members of par- liament, Lord Home, as he was then, won the support of the majority, even as first choice. Mr. Redmayne said: "T say frankly that his ma- jority as first choice was a nar- row one, but it was reinforced by a most significant lead as second and further choices. And perhaps what was most signifi- cant of all was the number of members who wrote or com- municated with me showing a - preference for a candidate, and yet saying specifically: "Of course, it could only be Alec Home, that would be the answer to the problem." On the basis of this, backed up by the preponderance of con- stituency party support for Lord Home, Mr, Redmayne was able to convey to Mr. Macmillan in bed in hospital, that Lord Home was the man who should be recommended to the Queen to form the new government. HAS HELPED MORALE This statement by Mr. Red- mayne, unusual as it was for a man in his position of respon- sibility, was very timely, as it completely cleared the air of the suspicion that Lord Home had been chosen against the wishes of the majority of the. Tory members. It has helped tremen- dously to consolidate the party's support behind its new leader. The morale of the party has taken a terrific boost, especial- ly since the new prime minis- ter's television appearances and election speeches. Around. West- minister, the contrast with the deep depression which prevail- ed before the summer recess is quite remarkable. The fatalistic belief that the party faced cer- tain defeat when the general election is held, is now gone, And it has been replaced by a strong assumption that it can be won under Sir Alec Home's leadership. SEAT FOR HAILSHAM It is now on the cars that Lord Hailsham will, in the near future, disclaim his peerage, give up his seat in the House of Lords, and be a candiate in a by-election in a London con- Stituency. This constitency "is Marylebone, at present repre- sented by Sir Wavell Wakefield, who had a-majority of over 14,- 700 in the' 1959 general election. It is also the seat which Lord Hailsham's father, the first Vis- count, held from 1922 to 1928, as Sir Douglas Hogg, before he was raised to the peerage. Sir Wavell Wakefield, who has represented Marylebone since 1945, and was bfore then for 10 years MP for Swindon, had previously indicated that he would be retiring from politics and would not be a candidate in the next general election. The rty executive in Marylebone elieves he would be willing to resign his seat at once, and that body has decided to offer the candidacy to Lord Hailsham, who will renounce his title and become Mr. Quinton Hogg. Sir Wavell, it has been intimated ,is likely to be rewarded for his long political services by being raised to the peerage. YOUR HEALTH There may be - little delay, however, before Lord Hailsham fenounces his title and the Marylebone by-election date' is fixed. He is anxious t oremain a member of the House of Lords for at least a short time after th opening of the new parlia- mentary session on November 12, so that he can take part in the initial debates on govern- ment policies. DECISION WAS WISE It is becoming more and more apparent that Britain is better off out of the European Com- mon Market than as a member. This is shown by the fact that while the coal-producing coun- tries in the Common Market -- France, Germany and Belgium -- are hopelessly at odds with the coal-consuming countries -- Italy, Holland and Luxeraburg-- Britain is selling more more coal in that market. The Common Market countries are not producing enough energy for their own industries and homes. Power _ stations and heavy industries still need fine steam - producing coal from abroad, and there is a strong import deman for anthracite for heating homes. As a result of this, Britain's exports of coal to the ECM countries are boom- ing. The chances of the six achiev- ing a common energy policy around the conference table seems as remote as ever. France, Germany and Italy want the highest possible prices . for their coal. Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg want to buy it as cheaply as possible. And so the deadlock rersists, to the benefit of Britain's coal indus- try, and to the delight of Na- tional Coal Board chairman Lord Robens, who sees his ex- port figures going up over the 10 million tons a year, with no sign of any early reversal of that encouraging trend, Food Can't Repair Damage To Organs By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Is there anything I can eat or do to help my liver, which has been "gamaged by alcohol? Some people (not doctors) advise 'eat- ing lots of liver.--IMF Well, let's face it. If the liver has been damaged by alcohul, there isn't much that can be done. However, you are stul alive and kicking--or might I better say you are: still alive and thinkryhg. Which is the im- portant thing. You drank too much, and probably didn't eat properly. It's a moot question as to how much damage alcohol does, and how much damage results from improper eating habits when drinking too much. Sone people, you know, have cirr- hosis of the liver even if they have never consumed any al- cohol at all. BY-GONE DAYS Nov. 9, 1923 40 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Golf Club Ltd., purchased 16 acres from the Ross property at a cost of $6,000. The YMCA membership cam- paign closed with 629 mem- bers enrolled. Rev. F. J. Maxwell of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church gave a series of Sunday even- ing sermons to young men. One hundred and thirty-four new members joined the Osh- awa Public Library during Oc- tober. There were 4,742 books borrowed from the library dur- - ing that month, Park Road School in East Whitby was reported over- crowded. The school, which was built in 1917, had a new wing added in 1921, but more accommodation was urgently needed, Oshawa Boy Mayor Arthur Petrie, and Victor Crouse at- tended the Employed Boys' Con- ference held in London, Ont. McIntosh apples were. becom- ing popular after having won first prize as the Empire's best dessert apple. The supply was very limited in this district and the apples sold at $15 to $20 a barrel, 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Gordon W. Riehl, C.A., R.LA. Burt R. Weters, C.A.

Lamble store front was in the process of being remodelled. Eggs sold for 60 cents a, gozen at the market while butter was offered at 42 cents a pound and chickens at 40 cents a pound. An Amateur Radio Club was organized here which was an associate club of the American Relay Radio League. Donald McKay was elected its first president and Hugh Gilchrist, vice-president. J. V.

Members of the Oshawa Hunt Club returned from their annual trip north with 16 deer, a bear and many partridges. Eating lots of liver is too simple an answer, If you have Icst a hand or a foot, you can't grow a new one by eating pig's knuckles, for example, nor grow a new stomach, if an ulcerated stomach has been re- moved surgically, tripe. That just isn't the way things work. Nevertheless, there is a proper diet. Many a cirrhosis patient (I regret to say) has re- fused to follow simple medical instructions on diet, and has suf- fered in consequence. 'Some, in- deed, have just gone on drink- ing and eating irregularly, and the result: was that they short- ened their lives by many years. A balanced diet of protein, carbohydrate and fat (plus, of course, vegetables, fruits, milk) and sometimes a vitamin sup- plement, is correct, and it 1s very helpful, Liver is a good food, and you may very well in- clude it if you like it, but there isn't any special value in it for cirrhosis. In advanced cases, with swel- ling of the body and tissues, salt may have to be restricted. If nitrogen wastes increase in the blood stream, meaning that they are not being discharged at a suitable rate, a decrease in the amount of protein may be necessary, (Your doctor will tell you about this--for most of us, the risk is usually too litt'e rather than too much protein.) But. unless' these complica- tions (swelling, or nitrogen wastes in the blood) are pre- sent, the right diet is a balanced one. Meals need not be large, but they should be reguar.
