The Oshawa Time 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1963-----PAGE 6 Political Unity Talks On Intellectual Level The most interesting political development of the past couple of weeks has been the breaking out into the open of the desultory dial- ogue which has been going on for some little time between some On- tario Liberals and some Ontario New Democrats. It has not been an official dial- ogue, and it certainly could not be called the result of any constitu- ency ferment in the two parties. Rather, it might be described as an intellectual exploration. Many Liberals have tried to woo first the CCF and then the NDP supporters, on the ground that the erstwhile Socialists are really only Liberals in a hurry -- particularly after the old Regina Manifesto was quietly interred and the CCF played down the issue of nationalization. It is no particular secret that Mackenzie King made repeated efforts to draw M. J. Coldwell into his cabinet -- and with good reason, for Mr. Coldwell would have graced any cabinet. There was more talk of this na- ture in Ontario than in any other province, except possibly British Columbia, spurred here by the strength of the entrenched Frost administration and on the West Coast by the divisions which have helped keep the Bennett regime in power. It flickered following John Wintermeyer's good showing in his first provincial general election, but flared more strongly than ever after this year's powerful election' showing of John Robarts. Many Liberals and New Demo- crats are now convinced that if the Robarts government is to be de- feated in less than eight to 10 years, the ordinate its efforts, either by a union of the two parties or by agreement on one-candidate op- opposition must co- position to the Conservative nom- inee in most of the provincial con- stituencies. The major the Liberals and New Democrats differences between appear to be mainly those of or- ganization and procedure rather than of doctrine or philosophy, if we are to judge them by statements of principle in election platforms, their leading spokesmen and by the debates in the Legislature. The doctrinal dif- ferences are differences of degree, of emphasis. But subtle though they may be, combined with by the speeches of these, the other differences may be enough to keep the parties apart; the meth- od of party financing, for example, although broadly a variation in organization, finds its roots in the philosophy of political financing. There is clearly enough difference the two parties of opinion within on the subject of amalgamation to keep them apart for a good while for ever. But the two is a development, and at the help clear away has both or- yet -- perhaps dialogue healthy very least between the should £ #1) some of. the which ness afflicted the thinking of ganizations. Not curious creature, late, but ultimately all-powerful -- the voter. He,too, should have a say that so often inarticu- heard from so far is in the matter, because if there is an amalgamation his will obviously be limited. choice Ownership Proportion A significant aspect of the latest Bureau of Statistics report on foreign ownership in Canada is that despite some adjustments in the size of foreign shares in specific industries, the over-all position has been unchanged since 1957. In that year, the proportion of foreign ownership in the economy was 34 per cent. At the end of 1961, the latest figure, it was still 34 per cent. What has happened is that the continuing inflows of foreign in- vestment funds have been matched almost dollar for dollar by invest- ment in Canadians -- all of which makes these attacks on foreign investors somewhat foolish. Canadians were already beginning to increase their ownership in the economy Minister Gordon came along with his dis- criminatory taxes, taxes which have international Canada by before Finance sadly tarnished our reputation for fair Reminder From Manning Premier Manning deserves a lot of credit for admitting publicly that government supplied welfare and similar services are not, as so fre- quently advertised at election time, actually free. Speaking in Toronto, the Alberta premier stated bluntly that if people continue to cradle-to-the- grave welfare services from a benevolent government, the inevi- table result must be a pyramiding of. public debt taxation. seek that services supplied by government are "free" the premier added, is being exploited by politicians who are try- ing to outbid one another for public favour.

Further, if he believes that the circumstances are such as to -as the coroner -- he should so order one. Whether a hospital or warrant an inquest believed in this case "tremendous reputation" or not is irrelevant. Nor does the coroner grant any special privilege or right to the College of . Physicians and Surgeons -- that. is, the medical to conduct such in- an individual has a law governing profession vestigations privately as a law unto themselvés. To suggest that "mis- takes" involving. the death of a patient, should be kept within some sort of "closed shop" is to suggest that the Coroners Act be ignored.

MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I am 29 What could cause' my finger- nails to have a bluish color? Would anemia do so? I have had examinations for different illnesses and the doc- tor has never found - anvthing wrong with my heart. Can heart disease always be detected with a stethoscope?--Miss L.S. Drugs containing silver (some nose drops, and oné used for maiaria) can cause a -bluish tint. The silver produces a con- dition called argyria, and the skin acquires a curious gray cast. Bluish nails can be. the éarliest sign of this. Those drugs, however, aren't being prescribed very much Yes, anémia can make the nails pale, and leave a bluish color. A blood count, however, will readily ascertain anemia One visit to your doctor will tell the story Or it may be that the blood is not getting enough oxygen. Causes can include lung disor- ders as well as some types of heart disease. These conditions, READERS' VIEWS BUS DEFICIT Dear Sir: I wish to refer to the bus deficit in the City of Oshawa. I do not wish to suggest any re sponsibility for the deficit. It seems no one likes to accept any responsibility whatsoever, for any deficit Many readers of your paper would like to know who put the most pressure on city council to buy the bus system on first place Someone suggests to put up the fares, or higher taxes are necessary. We think there must be other ways of raising rev- enue than by taking it out of the hide of taxpayers. Taxes in Oshawa are high enough, and the city fathers should take into consideration how to play realistically with the taxpayers' money. That goes for Alderman Pilkey too I've paid the City of Oshawa tax for 35 years. In 1958 we bought a new house, and the taxes were at that time $228. Now the same house cost me for 1963, $400. 1 was told I'm _ lo- cated in a second class residen- tial district. We still haven't got curbs in yet Schedules' for Oshawa city buses are very poor. If you work at the GM north plant and quit at 4 or 5 pm., and walk down to King street east to get the bus going east or south, you. are late. The bus is gone. half empty. You wait for: the next bus, and you may get one, or never, We called the bus company and explained the problem. So what happened? There is an in spector at the four corners who gives orders to the driver to go Who cares what pay load 'they have? Many sales and working people decided to join pool. cars to make sure they get to work Some say, why should the bus passengers have to suffer so much inconvenience because of unsuccessful trials of city buses? There is wonder why the city tax payer must suffer for their failures I would suggest, why not 'let General Motors try to aperate the Oshawa city bus system? They might be able to show how to run it and make money and there would be no ¢omplaint that. the bus drivers make only $ compared to GM sweepers at $2.28 (but sweepers get no uniform) Sweeper and Taxp: ye Oshawa article (clipping enclosed) say- ing that you should rub ice or but should warm place.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The year that is now drawing to a close has becn one in which the wind of change has blown fiercely in Br.tain. New party leaders have replaced the old, scandals -in- volving people high in the pub- lic life of the country have rock- ed public opinion, and at the year's end, it is more than diffi- cult -to foresee any political trend which is _ sufficiently strong to make any reliable forecast of the possibilities for 1964 possible. So much now de- pends on the events of the next few months that he would be a foolish man who risked any bets on how the wheel of political fortune will turn during the coming 12 months The changes in the leadership of the two major: political par- ties, and in 'the premiership as well, were tinged with a feel- ing of sadness. The sudden and untimely death of Hugh Gait- skell robbed the Labor party of a strong and conscientious lead- er, a man with touches of great ness about him. And although Harold Wilson succeeded him after a leadership © election battle with George Brown, the Labor party is. still lacking something vital that was there when Mr. Gaitskell was at the helm, It is true that Labor's fortunes seem to be in the ascendancy at the moment, but that is due more to Conserva- tive ineptitude than 'to any bril- liance in Labor leadership. LOSS OF MACMILLAN The retirement of Harold Mac- millan as prime minister and leader of the Conservative party through illness brought many expressions of regret, yet it does not detract from his con- duct of affairs to say that his retirement came' at tune time for the party. He had ben under heavy attack from the Labor opposition and from many in his own party in the first half of the year, because of security scandals "and the most regrettable Profumo af- fair. The fact that 27 Conserva tives abstained from voting on the division after the Profumo debate was a finger pointing the way out for Mr. Macmillan, and indeed, there were many who felt that he should and would have retired even had he not been overtaken by illness. It can be said with certainty that nis resignation and. the naming of Sir Alec Douglas-Home as prime minister has brought to the Con- servative party. a sense of unity and purpose which seemed to have been lacking earlier in the year WHO WILL WIN ? The big question politically, as 1963 ends, is centred on who will ion polls showed Labor with a bound to come in 1964.

The year started badly when two months of winter of Arctic severity sent unemploy- ment figures soaring to disas- trous heights, of between 850, 000 and 900,000. The recovery since then has been just as phenomenal, and apart from a few depressed areas where cer- tain types of industry have slumped, there is now. a state of full employment throughout the country All the factors which for increasing prosperity have become very marked as the year progressed. Industrial pro- ductivity has shown the great- est increase for severa years. A period of expansion lies di- rectly ahead in key industries Automobile production, and automobile exports, have reach- ed new high levels. In fact, the overall exports are up by over six per cent from the figures of last year make Because of this increase in na- tional production, the govern- ment has been able to bring for- ward plans for heavy increased spending on education, --hos- pitals, roads, and 'on social wel- fare schemes, all of- which will help to keep the employment picture sound because of the QUEEN'S PARK _ 1963 Key Year heavy spending domain. One of the most pleasing fea- tures of the year was the im- provement in relations between the western nations 'and the So- viet Union, The signing and rati- fication of the nuclear test ban treaty was considered g great step forward in which Britain played a leading role. The rejection of Britain's ap- plication for entry into the Euro- pean Commen Market has not been as great a calamity as pro- ponents of entry feared it would be. It has, rather, been a fortu- nate incident in the year's news, from a British standpoint, be- cause Britain's exports to the ECM countries have gone up by leaps and bounds without the necessity of joining in this part- nership FUTURE ROLE There is a strong feeling that in the coming year, with the tragic death of President Ken- nedy of the United States, Brit- ain will have to take a much more active and leading role in international events, in moves towards further lessening of the cold war with Russia, and in the development of NATO .The view held in this country is that the experience of the prime minis- ter during his service as foreign minister will stand him in good stead in the events fhat are sure to lie ahead Be that as it may, Britain looks forward to 1964 strong, confident and optimistic, know- ing that things are going well in the domestic sphere, and that each passing day means one day nearer to an era of per- manent peace in the public In Transition Period BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--1963? It was a year of importance A year that probably will make its mark in our history It was a year that we won't really be able to judge for some time. For though it was an import- ant year, it was a year which essentially was part of a long time transition. Not too long ago we started to adjust in Ontario to a chang- ing world economy. We began to -face a world which was beginning to have European Common Markets and new African nations A world in which we were not as far advanced ,as far out in front of the rest, as we had been It was a world that required us to change. Particularly to change our economy, principally from a producer of basic metals and farm products to a proces- sor, a manufacturer. And 1963 was. a key year in this transition, the key year, for it was the year in. which we really first appreciated our new character and place in the world GOOD START How did we do? This is the question which properly can't be answered as yet.
