| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limite? 86 rh St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1964--PAGE 6 Far-Reaching Results Expected From Visit 'The word "historic" is frequently used 80 loosely thet it tends to lose ite meaning. Events described as historic are all too often trivial occurences with a brassy sheen of notoriety or simple additions to collections of statistics, But the adjective carries the full power of its meaning when applied to the Pope's pilgrimage to the Holy Land, The journey would have been important enough if it had been simply a smashing of precedent. But it was far more. Pope Paul VI made a tremendous personal im- pression on the people of the Holy Land. That, and his talks with the Eastern Patriarch, could well have - far-reaching results -- results that will be recorded 'in history books around the world. : Rarely do Jews and Arabs agree on anything. They did on this occa- sion. They. were equally impressed by the courage, humility and pre- sence of the head of the Roman Catholic Church. 2 The Chief Rabbi of leteel, Itzhak Nissim, urged that the visit lead to "brotherly converse" among the world's religious leaders, Signifi- cantly the ecumenical note was struck by Pope Paul in his final address of the pilgrimage. He re- peated his appeal to the world's statemen, too, for patient vigor in the pursuit of peace -- and he spoke from an area revered | by Christians, Jews and Moslems, in very truth a Holy Land. The results flowing from such an event will not be felt for months, probably for years. But felt they will be. Pope Paul, in the matter of few hours, managed to touch the hearts as well as the minds of the many thousands who managed to see and hear him; and they saw and heard a man divested of all material ambition, dedicated self- lessly to a faith founded on an all- embracing love. There cannot help but be a reaction to that exper- ience. Desegregation Score This is the tenth year since the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of school desegregation. The Baltimore Evening Sun decided to make a survey of the results achieved in desegregation in a decade. Here are the results: 'In this school year slightly more than 9.percent of Negro public school students in the seventeen Southern and border states and the District of Columbia are attending sthool with whites. The percentage figure represents a noticeable in- crease over previous years. How- ever, it drops almost spectacularly when 'the eleven states which made up the Confederacy are considered » In those states, according to the statistics supplied by the Southern Education Reporting Service, 30,- 798 Negroes -- just 1.06 percent of the Negro public school popula- tion -- go to desegregated schools, Mississippi still has no desegre- gated public schools below college level. Only ten Negroes in South Carolina and only eleven in Ala- bama attend desegregated schools. On the other hand, about 14,000 Negroes in Texas, 4,500 in Tennes- see and 8,700 each in Virginia and Florida go to school with white pupils. Perhaps a truer, and certainly a brighter, measure of the progress of Southern school desegregation is to be found in statistics indicating the number of school districts now desegregated. In the 11 states, 423 of the 2,994 districts have desegre- gated to some extent, and 27 per- cent of the Negro students in these states are in the desegregated dis- tricts. This year, 146 districts in the 11 states were desegregated for the first time. Almost half of them are in Texas, but there also are 23 desegregated districts in Virginia, 22 in North Carolina and 18 in Tennessee. School desegregation in the South obviously is proceeding slowly, but it is proceeding -- and most instances quietly, despi e out- cries from Mississippi and Alabama, In many areas patterns for future significant school desegregation have been set with the desegrega- tion of one or two schools in a district. To some extent the concern of Negroes with other areas of na- tional life -- demands for employ- ment opportunities 'and the open- ing of public accommodations facilities -- have tended to take the spotlight off the schools, thus allowing scheduled school desegre- gation to move forward with less show of emotion. Ice-Fishing Warnings Recent mild weather has inter- fered with ice-fishing activities, and thousands of devotees of this chilly and rather odd sport are still awaiting their weekend expeditions to frozen lakes and bays. The wait- ing period can be pyoductive,' how- ever, if it is used to review safety precautions and government regu- lations. It seems obvious that ice should be thoroughly tested before it is stepped or driven on. Yet people and vehicles continue to fall through the ice. Ice which is completely snow covered is particularly dangerous -- it can obscure thin ice or large cracks. Alternate patches of ice and snow are hazardous, too, under such conditions and in. some lights open The Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher C. GWYN.

There have been some recent changes in Ontario regulations gov- erning fishing hits. One of them is that the name and address of the hut owner must be prominently displayed on the exterior of the hut. Huts must now be removed prior to March $1 to avoid their becoming hazards to navigation. Fishermen who invade private property to obtain fire wood are asking for trouble, as are those who litter the ice with refuse. They are simply inviting more stringent regulations, At least one municipal- ity has passed a bylaw governing the placement of huts, removal of garbage and wastes, and setting up a fee structure for huts. Other Editors' Views SPORT POLICY (Cleveland Plain Dealer) There is common' sense in the State Board of Education's new policy statement frowning on in- terscholastic sports below _ the. ninth-grade level. The effect of this should be to warn local school systems to screen carefully the types of athletic com- ' petition offered the younger pupils. Pupils should not be allowed to engage in strenuous competitions for which many of them are not yet physically prepared. 'MAYBE THERE'LL BE A FEBRUARY THAW' REPORT FROM U.K. Impressive Sight By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To 'The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Throughout the Christmas season, the western facade of St. Paul's Cathedral was floodlit. What an impressive picture it presented! In the course of the past year, the whole of the western front of the famed-Cathedral has been thoroughly cleaned and washed clear of the accumulation of centuries of soot and grime. With the floodlights shining on it, it gave the people of London an unprecedented sight of the YOUR HEALTH old landmark. Gleaming white, it stood out crystal clear in the bright glare of the floodlights with a beauty many Londoners had never before noticed, The cleaning of the front of the Cathedral was made pos- sible by contributions of $30,000 from Friends of the Cathedral. So striking has been the trans- formation of this part of it that the Lord Mayor of London, Alderman C, James. Harman, has adopted the cleaning of the whole of the remainder of St. Paul's as his special project for his year in office. Explore Chemical Attack On Cancer By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Why is the mustard treatment used for can- cer? Do not keep the public, your public, in the dark, I am sure if people were to know the truth they would work closer with the doctors.--Mrs. T.A.G,. This isn't a matter of keeping the public in the dark. Rather, it involves a vast chemical problem that as yet has been only partially solved. The mustard treatment is the use of nitrogen mustard and chemically similar compounds to combat cancer, Some of these chemicals now are being em- ployed in other ways. Perhaps the most interesting is their use to enable animals to tolerate the transplantation of organs. Exactly how the chemicals work is not well understood, but medi- cal researchers are laboriously putting some of the pieces of the puzzle together. There are several hundred chemicals, most but not.all of them synthetic substances, which under certain circum- stances can cause cancer, Curiously, some of these also can combat cancer, But this is likewise true of x-ray, which is used to cure cancer, At the same time, under other circum. etancs, too much x-ray expos- ure, over a long period of time, can cause cancer, Why? We don't know, be- cause basically we don't know the exact process by which can- cer starts. Viruses, heredity, chronic irritation, chemicals, all these things evidently have something to do with cancers. It remains possible that the final answer will be that sev- eral combinations of things will prove to be "'the causes of can- cer." Cancer, after all, can best be described as a process in which cells begin multiplying at an ex- cessively rapid rate, and the cells no longer maintain their proper form. Nitrogen. mustard and other such chemicals interfere with this rapid multiplication of cells. They are useful in such dis- eases as Hodgkin's Disease and TAKE JET RIDE "ALGIERS (AP) -- President Ahmed Ben Bella went for a ride in his present from Soviet BE ce od Khrushchev -- a new lyushin 18 turbo-jet plane. The plane was delivered by a Rus- sian crew to Algiers Monday. Ben Bella and Col. Houri Bou- medienne, his defence minister, leukemia, in which the multipli- cation of cells does not take place at some single point, and the--'cancer" thus cannot be re- moved surgically, Likewise, techniques are be- ing perfected wherby circula- tion to a crtain affected area of the body can be shut off temporarily (as in a leg) and the powerful chemicals infused in that area alone to attack can- cer cells, True, these chemicals have a high toxicity, and mu® be used only in amounts small enough so they do not cause undue poisoning of the patient. They must be used with care and cau- tion--but they do give us an added method of battling can- cer, GALLUP POLL It is customary for the Lord Mayor of London to sponsor some special project during his term in office, and Alderman Harman has launched an appeal for $450,000 to be raised before next November in order that the whole Cathedral exterior can be cleaned and made as attractive as the western facade: In a speech at the Guildhall in which he announced this as. his project for 1964, the Lord Mayor said: "I am not one of those who admire ditt on architecture, I hope that with the aid of water, and of people like yourselves, we may see St. Paul's as it lookd when' Sir Christopher Wren completed it." uf Paul's had not been clean- ed singe its completion in 1710, A little over a year ago, how- ever, through the medium of two anonymous gifts totalling . $30,000, work was started on the West Front, Fortunately, this was completed just in time for the floodlights to be turned on it to provide a new Christmas season spectacle for Londoners, More than five million gations of water have been used to re- move the layer of dirt and soot, in places more than an inch thick, from the stonework. No chemicals have been used; only water, wire brushes and elbow grease'. Earlier this year, the Dean of St. Paul's, Very Rev. W. R. Matthews, said that any move to go ahead with cleaning of the rest of the building would partly depend on the effect of the cleaning on the West Front. Now the Dean and the Chapter are delighted with the resu\ts, and with the effort being made by the Lord Mayor to raise fin- ances for cleaning the rest of the structure. It is estimated that it will take four years to complete the job, Meanwhile, the Lord Mayor's Fund is growing, At the last re- port, a sum of $162,000 had been raised by the immediate re- sponse to his appeal. Before his year in office is over, he be- lieves, the total sum of $450,00 required. will be available, Many Say Unemployment Still Biggest THE CANADIAN. INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION World Copyright Reserved Although the latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures show that there are 39,000 fewer unemployed in Canada than a year ago, the people still feel unemployment is the greatest single problem facing the fed- éral government in Ottawa. Nearly four in ten name un- employment in the labor force, while about one in ten (13 per cent) say defence and nuclear weapons are the greatest prob- lem. Six months ago, when this same trend question was asked, 18 per cent said nuclear weapons was the greatest prob- lem and 35 per cent named un- employment. Ontario is most worried about unemployment -- 41 per cent -- and least worried about national defence -- 8 per cent.

Contract Negotiations Big Feature This Year By ROBERT RICE and be rv ona must relax the traditional tensions and tactics OTTAWA (CP)--The stage ts" of bargaining and work together set for a critical round of collec- tive bargaining that could re- shape--perhaps even revolution- ize -- labor-management rela- tions in many key industries in Canada. 'es In the next 12 months, labor and management negotiators will be hammering out new con- tracts involving thousands. of workers, from bartenders British Columbia to macaroni makers in Montreal. More than 210°major agree- ments--not counting those in the construction trades or those in plants with fewer than 500 em- ployees--come up for renegotia- tion in 1964, About 375,000 work- ers are covered by the agree- ments. Another 100,000 railwaymen are involved in wage negotia- tions that started last year and continue into the new year, By June, the CPR and CNR will be embroiled in bargaining sessions with 19 unions representing the running trades and the non-op- erating work force. JOBS DISAPPEAR The 1964 negotiating calendar includes the pace-setting steel continually in close co-operation to find new solutions to the prob- lem of technological change. They see hope in the new rap- port between organized labor and big business at the national level, increasingly evident in such forums as the Economic Council of Canada and regional labor - management - govern: in ment conferences, GOVERNMENT TO HELP : While the raw test of econo- mic strength--the strike or lock- out--remains as a tool in the bargaining process, the empha- sis seems to be on round-table consultation, an acceptance by union leader and businessman of their mutual need for mutual re- - spect and understanding. As a step in this direction, the federal government has offered financial help to companies and unions willing to undertake joint research on future technologi- cal changes and their impact on the work force, William Mahoney, national di- rector of the United Steelwork- ers of America in Canada, is ex- pected to press again for a joint labor: t committee to and auto industhics, ti bargaining of the meat-packing industry, regional talks in tex- tiles and the first test of bar. . gaining skills for the govern- ment's three-man union trustee- ship in the maritime industry. These telks--in some cases, euch as in steel and automo- biles, the first formal labor- management meeting in three years--are set against a back- drop of unemployment and ad- vancing technology. Unionists are fighting to save jobs while searching for new techniques to deal with the job-killing im- pact of automation. In this era of the thinking machine, the big question is whether the collective bargain- ing process, founded tradition- ally on conflict and crisis, can be revamped to cope with the human consequences of automa- tion without curbing the vast opportunities opened up for hu- man improvement. CO-OPERATION NEEDED While trade unionists gener- ally accept the new technology as inevitable, they fear that the toll in lost jobs and social and economic dislocation often out- weighs the promised abundance of automation. Says economist Russell Bell of the Canadian Labor Con- gress: "Technolgical progress is a misnomer if it leaves in its wake a mass of unemployed work- ers." Many observers believe labor PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "The average gitl makes a poor wife," says a sociologist, Maybe so, but she probably makes a better wife than the average man deserves. % One way a person can greatly lessen chances of getting killed in an atomic attack is to make a practice of driving a car at high speed, No matter how little a per- son knows about religion, he feels. fully qualified to argue about it, It's virtually impossible for a person to keep both himself and - business in a liquid condi- tion, Many a man tries to make time with a girl who has an hour-glass figure.

E In many parts of Canada there is a growing feeling of un- rest about the performance of our Parliament. Canada is be- ing governed badly, extrava- gantly and without the appfo- priate background of experience it is believed The most sensitive areas of ublic opinion are naturally bus- foes and financial circles in our big cities; close on their heels come the subliminal fringes of sub-division sophisticates. In both these circles, the gov- ° ernment of John Diefenbaker had earned complete disen- chantment before last xear's election, when Diefenbaker sup- porters won only 10 of Canada's 85 largest urban seats, Now, in the brief nine months since it took office, the Pearson govern- ment has alienated a great deal of the hopeful support it earlier attracted. The right sort of candidates with the appropriate kind of ex- perience are not being attracted into politics; the board of direc- tors of the gest business in Canada, commonly called the federal cabinet, calls for greater experience, ability and responsi- bility than has been shown by most members of our recent cabinets. These are the senti- ments which one hears reiter- ated wherever well-informed Ca- nadian electors discuss our pub- lic affairs, SUDBURY'S LED Ontario's . sixth largest city, the prosperous nickel capital of Sudbury, recently went through a sensational municipal elec- tion. The voters threw out the mayor and the deputy mayor, and re-elected only two of the 12 aldermen who had been elected two years previously. "Yesterday's civic election in Sudbury has undoubtedly placed a number of 'right men' in 'right jobs' and now begins the tremendously important task of getting municipal finances back to a more balanced structure," BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Jan, 8, Fire Chief W. R. Elliott was pleased to learn that Oshawa's fire department placed second in a contest in Canada and the United States for fire preven- tion, Frank Stirtevant was preseni- ed with a brief case by mem- bers of the Ontario Bible Society of Centre Street United Church of which he was the leader, Ernest J. Marks, Jr., was appointed the representative of the Separate School Board on the Board of Education. Lyona Hunt Mangan, soprano, gave a song recital in Eaton's Auditorium. Dr. Hartley Lewis was chosen chairman of the Board of Edu- cation, to suceged Dr. S. J. Phillips. Rotarian Col, Frank Chappell presented Mayor John Coleman with a silver key decorated with the Rotary Crest. Russell Storks was acclaimed outstanding Kinsmen of the year in the local club. He was presented with the A. D. Crews trophy. Dr. 0. G.. Mills succeeded A, E. Coulter as president of the Kiwanis Club. Lt.-Col, R. B. Smith, lieutenant - governor of district 4, performed the cere- mony of installing the new pres- ident. A. J. Parkhill was elected president of the County of On- tario Law Association, Miss Marion Bannon received 1939 word that she had been suc- cessful in her registration exam- inations for the nursing profes- sion, Lorne E. Ratz, local business man, presented Mayor Coleman with a handmade walnut gavel inlaid with ivory and ebony. Billy Taylor led the '"Gen- erals" in scoring points earned in the hockey schedule for the season, the Sudbury Star commented editorially. Economies and streamlining in administration, @ business-like approach to civie problems by businessmen - ad- ministrators, and priority atten: tion for financial matters; these "new lines" by Sudbury's 'new. look" government were . pres, dicted by that newspaper. Doesn't this sound like the at: titude which should be taken on the broader national front' too? Will Canada take tomorrow the steps which Sudbury took yes terday? 'RIGHT MEN' Canada has been living be, nd its means for many any eats, uch of this is ee at the inexperience or of those who handle ea ' purse-strings, The history of our finances over past years is tragic enough to make any busi* nessman weep; we fire a post- master and expensivel: the post office because he voted for the wrong party; we seer farmers to produce food whi we cannot sell; we maintain a costly untrained ill-equipped de- fence force to boost employ= ment; in short our taxes" wasted through incompetence ¢ partisanship. Do we need, as Sudbury needed, to get 'right men" inte 'right jobe'? Where are all the great tycoons who can adminis« ter industry profitably and 'com petently? Why is not their abil« ity utilized in administering the biggest business. in Canada, which is the federal govern: ment? Why does not their ex- perience come to help re-estab, ° lish the national economy, whose Stability is. now far from as- sured ? Sudbury pointed the way: Cane ada also needs 'right men.' The | Bay Street boys, who have es- tablished economic stability and prosperity for their own busi- nesses, are needed on Parlia- ment Hill to do the same for their country.
